At night, Wu Gen woke up from his deep sleep. When he looked up, he saw a bright bead on the roof, illuminating the entire room.
"Wake up." Shui Congyue's voice came from beside him. He was holding a scroll and was waiting at the side.
Wu Gen sighed, "What a powerful method, I almost fell into it." This time the military expedition was dangerous, and it was really dangerous to be forced to escape into the sea of consciousness in a hurry. After Wu Gen's cultivation of Soul Dao became more advanced, he didn't need to enter the dream many times to see the sea of consciousness, but this was the first time he entered it. With this method of forced deep hypnosis, it was easy to lose oneself and get lost in it, unable to extricate himself.
Soon, other people gathered around, all of them looking depressed. Except for Wu Gen, the entire group in the temple was actually powerless to resist. How could one not know that the secrets of one's own home were being peeped out? This feeling was like being naked and letting others look at them at will, and no one would feel comfortable.
Especially Feng'er, his face was gloomy, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his murderous intent was unconcealed.
"Wu Gen, the Ming clan already knows the origin of our methods. Now we are in some trouble. Even if we want to escape, it may not be easy. The top priority is to find a way to deal with it." Qi He, who had always been dull, spoke first, Feng'er felt uneasy. He had already seen it, so he was inevitably a little anxious.
"Maybe they'll lock us up for two days. Seeing how determined we are, we might be released." Baoxiang was still lucky.
"Impossible." Shui Congyue put down the book in his hand, "For the Ming Clan, we are an opportunity for the Ming Clan to get rid of the shackles. Although the hope is not high, it is better than now. These people already know that there is Many human races have entered the Great Relic Continent, and they may send people around to search for other people who enter the Great Relic Continent.
Generally speaking, the other party will not kill anyone, and maybe they will treat us as honored guests. They will use all kinds of methods to gradually weaken their will and become a tool for reproducing heirs. You must leave, but depending on the opponent's methods, you definitely can't break in forcefully. You can only slowly peek at the opportunity and then choose the opportunity to escape. "
For a while, the big furniture seemed a bit boring.
Wu Gen sat up and said, "Since there is no fear of life, then don't be so sad. Let's discuss how to leave here first, and then talk about the opportunity. In the past two days, everyone has been flattering, and there should be no direct conflict. Let's Although the five men are fine, Feng'er will inevitably be used as a hostage, so it's better not to take it unless it's absolutely necessary."
Hearing this, the group of people glanced at Feng'er intentionally or unintentionally, and began to discuss ways to escape. In the end, they came up with seven or eight ways, but the biggest problem is that these ways are all based on fate. It’s best for people to relax their vigilance.
But how can we make the other party think that these people have become discouraged and have lost their will to escape? Feng'er said fiercely: "Whatever the Ming clan wants, just give it to them. If you don't want it, you will get it. They are all men, and you can't do that kind of thing without two taels." Meat, what’s wrong with it?”
For a moment, all five men were silent. They all opened their mouths several times, but no sound came out. To put it bluntly, it would be fine if this kind of thing happens between two people, but if it is used forcefully, it will always feel a bit humiliating.
Seeing that the discussion could not produce any results, everyone had to disperse. Wu Gen just left the bridge team behind and muttered for a long time.
The next day, the three deacons came over and invited six people, or to be precise five people, to visit various places in the clan, and prepared five exquisite floats. Each float is attended by three women and is stocked with wine, fruits and vegetables.
The five of them were quite cooperative today. Along the way, they interacted frequently with the Ming clan members who flocked to the place. The float was filled with flowers, sachets, and colorful scarves of various colors. If the deacon had not arranged for escorts in advance, it is estimated that several people would have been snatched away by the enthusiastic tribesmen today to have a romantic and romantic time.
For three consecutive days, the five people were treated like mascots and displayed around the Ming clan's territory. I don't know how much oil was wiped off and how much tofu was eaten.
"How about it." After dinner, Wu Gen was the first to speak as he sat in the room smelling of alcohol.
"The location of the Ming Clan is actually a beautiful place. There is a large lake in front of it and it is surrounded by mountains. There is only a small opening to the south, but it is also the most tightly guarded place. It is not appropriate to enter or exit from here.
Although there are still many places that have not been explored, it can be seen that a large formation has been set up here. It is difficult to enter and exit without a token, and the slightest movement will be discovered. "Qihezai
On the paper, he roughly drew the terrain of the places he visited these days, and frowned.
Shui Congyue also spoke, "These days at the dinner, I took the opportunity to compare notes and weigh the strength of the Ming Clan. Although the guards are slightly inferior to me, I think the Ming Clan fight should be three people joining forces and sharing the same mind with each other. Coupled with the methods of soul magic, it is really difficult to deal with. This does not include the deacons, priests and elders in the church."
This was the first time Wu Gen heard Shui Congyue admit defeat so neatly. It seemed that it was really difficult to surprise the guards and break through. After calculating the terrain and the opponent's force, several people felt a little sad.
"Are the crystals available that day?" Wu Gen suddenly said.
Qiao Ban quickly said, "I tried it, it should be usable, but I just need to get one to try it out."
"Okay, I'll do this." Baoxiang said with enthusiasm, "These days of drinking with the Ming clan, I have figured out that the lower-class clansmen don't have any grudges against us. As long as we are given some benefits, they will talk about it and secretly give it to us. A Sky Essence Stone is also easy. But those Templars, Priests and the like have never been in contact, so I’m afraid they won’t be easy to deal with.”
The Ming clan is also divided into three, six or nine levels. The lowest ones are engaged in farming, woodworking, fishing and hunting, followed by soldiers, and then above are the priests in the temple, the same women Wu Gen saw when he first entered the temple. The highest ones are It's those elders.
Seeing everyone's teasing looks, Baoxiang became a little anxious, "I'm not doing that kind of thing. I'm just being touched and kissed. What's more? In order to escape, doing these things requires a piece of meat."
Feng'er also spoke up to support, "A few grown men are not happy with their work, and they won't do anything to take advantage of them. Qihe, if the situation forces you to do it, you will have to do it. I don't blame you."
When Qi He heard this, his face turned red and he hesitated to speak.
Wu Gen nodded, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. When the time comes, let them go. In the past few days, I will try to go to the temple a few times to explore the background of those elders."
In the next few days, Wu Gen went to the big lake to ask for some fish, and invited several deacons, Long, Ming, and Qian, whom he had just met, as well as a few people he had become familiar with these days, to his place of residence. Hangout.
The food of Ming people is light, with less salt and less ingredients. Wu Gen also worked hard. After the fish was roasted, the ingredients were sprinkled, and the aroma of spices and fish hit his nostrils. When paired with fine wine, these people who had never seen these delicacies were amazed.
During the dinner, we realized that the territory occupied by this Ming clan seemed to be quite large, but in fact, most of the clans in the Great Relic Continent were isolated from each other, transportation was not smooth, and many supplies were actually in short supply. These ingredients that may seem ordinary to the outside world are like treasures here.
Wu Gen was very generous, and everyone who came to the banquet had a small bag of ingredients, which made them happy for a while.
Under the influence of alcohol, Wu Gen asked the deacon to report to the church that he was willing to offer ingredients to show his sincerity, and the deacon agreed wholeheartedly.
The next day, Wu Gen was notified by the deacon that the elder was willing to meet him to relieve his unhappiness that day. Wu Gen followed the deacon to the church. The women in the square were sitting or standing, looking at Wu Gen holding the wooden box in his hands unscrupulously.
These people are the so-called priests, who are selected by the Ming clan to train highly qualified juniors as candidates for the next generation of elders. In the Ming clan, they are the highest-status group of people except the elders.
Wu Gen walked with a cheerful face and nodded frequently at these people. As they approached the entrance of the palace, a woman was walking out in a hurry, looking a little dazed, and she almost bumped into Wu Gen.
The woman has silver hair shawl and a delicate appearance, as if she is an otherworldly fairy. Seeing Wu Gen, the woman's cheeks suddenly turned red and she hurried out.
Wu Gen's steps hesitated slightly, but he glanced at his back before walking towards the palace. This scene was all seen by the deacon who was leading the way. The latter couldn't help but nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
It was the general elder who met Wu Gen this time, and the others did not show up.
"Guest, are you getting used to staying here these days?" one of the three general affairs elders asked with a kind face.
"The reception these days has been great, I am not impressed by it, so I specially prepared a small gift to thank you for the many days of hospitality." Wu Gen said and handed the wooden box in his hand to the deacon, who handed it to the elder.
open wooden box
After taking a gentle sniff, the three elders nodded repeatedly, "What a good thing. This thing is the best to go with food. It's really rare. This corner of my Grand Heritage Continent is still a bit barren. Unlike other continents, which are vast and rich in resources, The guest is interested."
The spices used in the spices were once comparable to gold even in the history of the Zhao Kingdom, but now they have become more common and become more common. Although Da Yizhou is a large continent, it has no communication with the outside world, so the ingredients are scarce and expensive.
Several elders were full of praise and looked at Wu Gen with very different eyes.
"Your distinguished guest has been here for many days. How do you feel about this tribe?" Another elder asked.
But after waiting for a long time, Wu Gen didn't answer. He was bent over and tapping the crystal embedded on the stone pillar next to him.
"Dignified guest..."
"..."
"Since the distinguished guest likes the sky crystal stone so much, it doesn't matter if he gives one as a gift. He has already received such a valuable ingredient. According to the local saying, courtesy should be reciprocated." Several elders also saw it. If there is no blood today, I am afraid that this will not happen. The person becomes deaf.
As a priest came in with a silver plate in his hand and a fist-sized sky crystal stone, the deaf man suddenly became alert. He reached out to take it and looked at it up and down.
Compared with the ones used by ordinary tribesmen, this sky crystal is obviously of much higher quality. In the stone flesh, which is as black as glaze, you can faintly see little lights, like stars in the night.
"The heavenly crystal stone contains the essence of heaven and earth, which must be activated by soul power. However, this is only of some use in the Great Relic Continent. All other continents are full of spiritual jades. This object is just a worthless existence. Why are you here? So interested." The general affairs elder was a little puzzled. This thing is not precious in the Great Relic Continent, just like the spiritual jade in the outside world.
Wu Gen put it in his arms and smiled slightly, "Things are rare but valuable. When we go back, we can deceive those who don't know the goods and maybe exchange them for a better price."
After hearing this, there was a slight silence in the palace. After a while, an elder asked tentatively: "Does the distinguished guest have to leave?"
"I'm so homesick that I have to leave."
"What if my clan is unwilling to let some of you leave?"
"How can we make the Ming clan be willing to let us leave?"
"...The distinguished guest seems to be a soul master. I heard from the deacon that he is very interested in the soul songs of our clan. How about we choose a day to let the children outside the palace teach it to the distinguished guest."
"It's a good feeling, but I can't say that I can't learn it to the depths, and I don't want to return home."
"Haha, your distinguished guest is joking."
