God Pet Has Opened Up For Me Again

"There should be an ambush at the Ode Academy where the palace overhaul is located, right?"

Liang Yuzhi still didn't answer directly: "As long as you can see clearly, I... I won't say anything more." She was disinterested and wanted to leave. Sun Changming asked again, with great confusion: "This world belongs to him, what does he think?!"

Liang Yuzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Things in the court are not that simple." After thinking about it, Liang Yuzhi turned back, waved his hand, lowered the sealing spirit array, and made it clear to Sun Changming.

"The current Queen Mother is my aunt."

"Your Majesty likes extravagance, and his internal funds have long been depleted. Among the internal officials in the inner court, whoever can earn the spiritual jade will be promoted. Even internal officials at all levels have clearly marked prices."

"His Majesty is preparing to travel recently and wants to build a palace chariot, which will cost tens of thousands. Everyone in the inner court is trying to find ways to help His Majesty raise funds."

Sun Changming couldn't help but be stunned: "Palace chariot? Are you going to build a palace on the chariot?"

"Exactly."

"It's really extravagant!"

"And it's not just one car. The accompanying concubines each have one car. It's just that the regulations are slightly smaller. If the Queen Mother is willing to go, naturally there will be an additional larger one. However, the Queen Mother sternly refused. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother can no longer control Your Majesty. , and you can't take too much care, otherwise the descendants will control the government."

Liang Yuzhi believed that Sun Changming had understood: "Don't make it difficult for me."

Liang Yuzhi is a member of the royal family, and all her power comes from the support of the Queen Mother.

Sun Changming robbed Jisu, in fact, he robbed the emperor. Liang Yuzhi had already pretended to be invisible the first time. If Sun Changming did it again, she would be really in trouble.

Sun Changming nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Liang, I won't be reckless anymore."

…

Now that the second level of assessment has to screen out a thousand people at a time, one of almost thirty people will be selected. The sense of crisis among all the cultivators has greatly increased, which directly caused the business of Oude Academy to be particularly booming.

Zhao Xiaoyao spent all day studying the different versions of the word "虺", and was eagerly looking forward to the end of the dragon and snake rankings as soon as possible. It didn't matter what Mr. Sun's ranking was, he had to rush back to Wangyun Cliff to take charge of the breeding work of the insect master.

The Insect Lord also seemed impatient.

Wu Yuanji has been accompanying Sun Changming these past few days. He could see what was on your mind and asked, "Do you want to buy some questions?"

Sun Changming shook his head decisively: "I won't buy it."

"It really depends on Mr. Liang's face. If you don't ruin Jisu's good deeds, can you bear this anger?"

Sun Changming was indeed very angry. Even though he knew very well that the Wu Dynasty was rotten to the core from top to bottom, he still let him know that the emperor was manipulating such things behind his back for personal enjoyment. Out of anger. What's the difference between this and selling an official position?

But can you bear this anger?

Sun Changming struggled for a long time and then said: "Don't make it difficult for Mr. Liang."

Wu Yuanji nodded secretly. Your Excellency is a compassionate person, and this is good news for his subordinates. What Wu Yuanji didn't know was that in fact, when Sun Changming guessed that the real profit grabber behind this matter was the emperor, his interest had waned and he no longer wanted to continue.

Liang Yuzhi is only part of the reason.

Sun Changming knew very well that even if he acted willfully, he was actually "saving" the Wu Dynasty to a certain extent - and his original intention was not to do anything more for this. After thoroughly seeing the emperor's ridiculous face, he became even more determined in this idea.

If Liu Zhi and Lu Guangxiao wanted to save the Wu Dynasty, they would need at least an extremely drastic top-down change. If the emperor is not changed, there is no chance at all.

And whether the current external environment of the Wu Dynasty can withstand such a drastic change...

In fact, there is another way, Master Liu Zhi is promoted to the ninth realm.

This one seems more difficult to achieve, so cross it out.

In short, Sun Changming was too lazy to pay attention to the messy affairs of Ode Academy, and did not inquire about the second level. He concentrated on practicing at his residence, and secretly discussed with his second brother: a sixth-level magic weapon, a sixth-level demon Dan, I want a new version of the flying sword!

It's not that Sun Changming is playing tricks on his second brother, it's entirely that Master Sun is greedy and dissatisfied: the Five-Tooth Ship is also lagging behind a bit, so it's best to improve it together with Feijian.

But the second child was reluctant.

This sixth-level magic weapon was sent by Song Gongquan and was called the "Sky-Breaking Hook". It itself was an item with great origins. Hundreds of years ago, there was a sixth-level weapon master who diligently pursued the art of making weapons, but unfortunately he was still one step behind the seventh-level weapon master. He felt that when his life span was about to end, he had exhausted his life's accumulation and acquired a large number of high-level treasure materials. He wanted to make the last weapon in his life, and he hoped to refine a seventh-level magic weapon before he died.

Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wish, and he fell short at the last moment. He originally wanted to refine a seventh-level flying sword, but in the end he fell short and fell to the sixth level. The weapon master was so struck that he vomited blood and died, and the flying sword failed to take final shape. When it came out of the furnace, it was twisted and deformed into a long hook.

This sixth-level magic weapon, which consumed a lot of high-level treasures and was supposed to be the seventh-level, was ultimately a failure, so it was not considered outstanding among the sixth-level.

With such a sixth-level magical weapon and a sixth-level demon elixir, Sun Changming felt that he was sincere. However, the second brother used the excuse that he did not have other parts of the five-toothed ship, so at most he could only upgrade the flying sword and the related five-toothed ship. Absolutely not.

Sun Changming bargained with his second brother. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. There are still a few days left for the second level of assessment, but my second brother is already salivating.

Another sixth-level magical artifact given by Song Gongquan was an ancient bronze dish named "Chengtian Dew". There is a special grand formation, and the grand formation is arranged. This magic weapon is placed in the eye of the grand formation. Every three days, a drop of "sky dew" can be condensed, which can be used to irrigate elixirs and spiritual plants. Every drop Equivalent to ten years of service!

In other words, if everything goes well, a hundred-year-old elixir can be cultivated in one month. Moreover, this "natural dew" can also be taken directly as a panacea, which can replenish qi and blood, improve cultivation, repair damage, etc.

The only problem is that the materials consumed by the formation are too expensive...

Sun Changming will need this thing, and he doesn't plan to feed it to his second child for the time being.

The eldest brother and the second brother are still "gaming", but the third sister can't stand it anymore and pesters her eldest brother to take her out to play every day. Then we go out to eat in the name of going out for fun.

Along the way, there are street snacks and restaurant banquets. If you see them, you won’t let them go.

After feeding Han Mei that day, Sun Changming remembered that his family had another job in the capital, so he took Han Mei to have a look. When he came back, he happened to pass by Xuechangyuan. The road ahead was somewhat congested. The car slowly moved past. Sun Changming opened the car window and saw a long queue on the street, waiting outside an academy.

A flag hangs in front of the academy door, with four characters floating in the wind: Occasionally get the academy.

"Cultivators who buy questions."

However, the team did not move for a long time. Sun Changming's carriage had already passed by, and a group of people came out of the academy. The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in silk and silk. He was not elegant at all, but he was full of copper odor and arrogance. The guys behind him were carrying a large box.

The middle-aged man put his hands on his hips and shouted to the cultivators who were queuing up: "Don't crowd, come one by one, each with 50,000 spirit jade, and throw the spirit jade into the box yourself."

This box should be a treasure similar to a storage bag, and it is very huge inside. He stood next to the box and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You little thief! If you have the ability to go to my brother-in-law's house and steal, why don't you dare to come to my Ode Academy?"

"I've seen it all clearly. Your grandfather and I put the income from selling the questions in this box and stored it in my academy. Come and steal it. If you don't come, I won't look down on you, you rat!"

"Your grandfather, I am so arrogant, what can you do to me? I know you can't stand me and my brother-in-law, bah! What's the use? Do you have such great ability? My brother-in-law Shengjuan Zhenglong, you You can't harm my brother-in-law in the slightest with such dirty and shameful methods!"

"Who do you think you are? My brother-in-law is the real big shot. Don't let us catch you. We will crush you to death like a bed bug!"

Sun Changming heard it and looked through the car window again, his eyes a little cold. He stopped a waiter from a store next to him who was watching the fun: "Does this gentleman scold you like this every day?"

The waiter replied with a smile: "Yes, I have been swearing like this every day for several days, and it has become a scene in our academy."

Sun Changming closed the car window silently, and Wu Yuanji advised: "Sir, don't be impulsive. This person just wants to use words to anger you, and there must be an ambush in the academy..."

Sun Changming smiled lightly: "Don't worry, don't make it difficult for Mr. Liang."

Wu Yuanji just breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard the adult say: "Let's deal with them in another way."

…

That night, Sun Changming invited Ruan Sansheng over: "I have two things to ask Brother Ruan for help." Ruan Sansheng glared: "Your Majesty, you are so polite!"

Sun Changming smiled and apologized, and then said directly: "The first thing, please ask Brother Ruan to investigate what the second test question of the Dragon and Snake Ranking might be - this is considered a public weapon for private use, so I was just being polite, if Brother Ruan is If you feel it’s inappropriate, you can refuse.”

Sun Changming could just spend money to buy it, but he didn't want to! As for how to investigate... secretly collect clues, such as the recent overall increase in the price of cultivation resources in the capital, which types of magical instruments are in short supply, etc., and summarize and analyze, we can definitely narrow down the second level test questions to a very narrow one In the range.

In fact, in the first level, even if you don't buy the questions, you can still know what to take the test by following this method and finding out that a large number of cultivators are secretly asking for the Beijing Camp Safety Route Map.

It's just that if you want to do this, you need to have a huge intelligence network in your hand. And the people who have mastered this network... are not short of money, so why not just buy it?

Only Mr. Sun is unhappy and unwilling to spend this money!

Ruan Sansheng nodded: "This is easy to handle." He didn't care about the "private use of public tools" at all.

"The second thing is to help me find someone. This is also a Xiuzi who participated in the Dragon and Snake Ranking. His name is Zhang Chunfa."

Ruan Sansheng was very efficient in his work. He brought a person to see Sun Changming the next morning. He first asked the person to wait outside the yard and then went in to talk to Sun Changming.

"Your Majesty, you must not have imagined what we found this time!" Ruan Sansheng rarely showed off his words, and his expression showed that "what I am going to say next is particularly exciting."

Sun Changming poured tea for him: "Brother Ruan, please tell me."

"Based on the trends in the city in the past two days, we found out that the questions in the second level of the assessment may be related to spiritual insects." Ruan Sanshengniu drank the tea, wiped his mouth and continued: "This is not the key, the key is that these days the five princes' subordinates Qingke and Jisu’s family members have frequent exchanges! Does your Excellency know what this means?”

Before Sun Changming could answer, Ruan Sansheng waved his hand: "You are not from the capital, so I'm afraid you don't understand the joints. The fifth prince is the biggest insect dealer in the entire capital!"

"Fighting bug?"

After Ruan Sansheng explained briefly, Sun Changming quickly understood that it was similar to fighting crickets in his previous life, except that all spirit insects were used here, and the fighting was divided into levels, which was similar to the fighting weight rules of the previous life.

But at the end of every year, there will be the "Ultimate Insect Fighting War", which is a carnival feast. At this time, all levels are abandoned, and spiritual insects fight without distinction!

"Don't underestimate the benefits of this insect fighting competition. The fifth prince is not favored among the six princes and eleven princesses. He has no royal estate to his name, but with this insect fighting competition, he is the most favored among the princes and princesses. The top three in wealth!"

Ruan Sansheng said this and looked at Sun Changming with his eyes. Master Sun also found it incredible: "Ji Su not only sells test questions, but he also plans to let 30,000 cultivators go to help the fifth prince catch spiritual insects!"

"Cut a radish at both ends, it's a good deal!"

"I estimate that what the Fifth Prince's retainers are negotiating with Jisu's family these days is the price at which these spiritual insects will be packaged and sold to the Fifth Prince!"

"What a genius!" Sun Changming almost let it slip. He sold test questions to honor me, caught spiritual insects and sold his son. Mr. Jisu really seized the opportunity and his career was bright!

Will the dragon's rhythm change when the storm hits?

I always feel that in the past few years, you were relegated to the cold bench of the Imperial College.

Ruan Sansheng finally said: "In short, the second level of the assessment is mostly about spiritual insects. Thirty miles southeast of the capital city, there is a 'Xuanyou Cave', which produces various spiritual insects and demonic insects. Most of the examination rooms are in Where is it?

Adults prepare in advance. "

He called someone outside again: "I brought Zhang Chunfa to you. I have some official business and I'll take my leave first. Please let me know if you have anything."

Sun Changming thanked him and sent him out in person, and happened to meet Zhang Chunfa coming in.

Zhang Chunfa, who has short eyebrows, small eyes and a round face, was originally uneasy, but when he saw Sun Changming, he immediately slapped his thigh: "Oh, it turns out it's my brother who is looking for me."

He rushed up and was about to hold Sun Changming's hand enthusiastically, but was stopped by the captain of Chaotian Si next to him with his sword scabbard: "This is my commander, Chaotian Simengjiang. See you in bows!"

Zhang Chunfa seemed to have no bones. He curled up and was about to kneel down. Sun Changming supported him and said, "No need to be polite." Zhang Chunfa smiled and greeted him with clasped fists: "I really regret it. I should have followed you in the first level. As a result, I was not determined enough and ran away halfway, but in the end it was an adult who rescued me.

Your Excellency, you must not have noticed me at that time. After all, there were so many people together and you dragged me out with vines. "

He regretted repeatedly: "I clearly saw that you are extraordinary, but it's a pity that I couldn't stick to my own judgment. It's a pity, it's a pity."

Sun Changming first thanked Ruan Sansheng for helping to find someone, and then said to Zhang Chunfa: "I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"Sir, please don't be so polite. If you have any errands, just give me your orders." He patted his chest to sound righteous, but then suddenly smiled: "Sir, with my status, I will never let my work go in vain."

Sun Changming laughed dumbly and said: "I did not misjudge you. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

"Hey, your words are enough. What do you want me to do?"

"Go and contact Xiuzi from a humble family. I want those with real talents and practical knowledge."

…

The emperor temporarily designated a courtyard in the Jingying barracks, which was surrounded by heavy troops. Food and drinks were provided every day, and Ji Su, the chief examiner of the Dragon and Snake List, was sealed inside.

However, after the first level of assessment, these blockades were in vain.

Before the first level of assessment, because the Imperial College and the Beijing camp were isolated from each other, Ji Su was so anxious that he could not open up the joints, so the internal and external information was not transmitted smoothly. As a result, there was a problem in the first level, which led to Mr. Lin from the Ministry of War. You see, this was a blessing in disguise. With the middleman, the supervision of the Beijing camp was greatly relaxed. The second level examination questions were not only passed out smoothly, but also kept in contact at all times. , remotely control the family to negotiate with the fifth prince!

Even tonight, my brother-in-law spent money to bring Mei Ji fine wine and food, adding a happy color to Ji Su's boring life, and also injecting life into the withered yellow hair of his good sister who is out of shape. of bright colors.

Generally speaking, even if there are three levels of assessment, the entire time span of the Dragon and Snake Ranking should not exceed one month. However, there was an accident at the first level and the life force of the cultivators was almost exhausted. Ji Su graciously allowed everyone to rest for twenty days!

The main reason is that they are worried that everyone's strength has not recovered, they will not be able to perform well in the second level assessment, and the spirit insects captured for the fifth prince are not enough and strong enough.

Ji Su was drunk and dreaming in the capital camp for more than ten days. Good news came from his brother-in-law. All the thousand exam questions he prepared were sold!

"Hahaha, it turns out that they are poor in literature and rich in martial arts. These cultivators who have come from afar are indeed from well-off families! Tomorrow we will go to Xuanyou Cave to start the second test of the Dragon and Snake Ranking!"

"Come on, my beauty, let's have a drink together and wish the cultivators who have donated so generously a successful start and a fruitful return!"

…

Ma Qizhi spent the past twenty days sharpening his guns in battle, thoroughly refining the various treasures his father had prepared for him.

Tomorrow is the day for the second level of assessment. The family of three ate dinner together. The mother felt very warm. The son finally became sensible and no longer embarrassed her.

After the meal, Song Gongquan put down his bowls and chopsticks and said to Ma Qizhi: "Come to the study with me." Ma Qizhi knew that his father had something to say, so he quickly followed him.

"Don't overdo it tomorrow, just squeeze into the quota for the third level. Don't worry, even if the spiritual insects you bring out are of a slightly lower grade, Ji Su will not dare to depose you."

Ma Qizhi was a little curious: "Father, do you have any inside information?"

Of course Song Gongquan also knew what Ruan Sansheng had found. He simply told his son, and then said: "Old Ji Su is confused and wants money rather than his life. The fifth prince is not favored by your majesty and is destined to miss the throne. He fawns over the fifth prince. When the new emperor ascends the throne, it will be hard to protect the Ji family!"

Ma Qizhi was horrified: "My child understands."

After coming out of his father's study, Ma Qizhi thought of Sun Changming again. He still felt very conflicted in his heart. Although he understood that Sun Changming saved him for the benefit of his father, and everyone had settled the matter, he still felt that... the young man's life was more important!

"No, this time when I go to Xuanyou Cave, I must find a chance to save him!"

"Get those treasures back from him, especially the rhino horn. It is very important for my father to advance to the seventh realm."

"I still don't believe it. Young Master, I am in a higher realm than him, have a better family background, have better abilities than him, and look better than him. Why should he save me? I will definitely have a chance to save him once!"

"snort!"

The second-generation ancestor did not know that at this moment, his group of friends and friends had taken advantage of Chaotiansi's authority to seize the handle of a senior "insect hunter". After a brutal torture and interrogation, the insect hunter The man told all the secrets about Xuanyou Cave and helped design an insidious trap.

"Everyone can see it: Mr. Ma has a heart problem because of what happened last time. Then let's help him get rid of this heart problem, give him a chance, and let him save Sun Changming once, and the disease will be cured. ”

"I also want Sun Changming to be grateful to Master Ma, hahaha!"

…

Just like the first level assessment, there were many cultivators waiting behind the city gate before dawn. As soon as the city gate opened, they immediately rushed towards Xuanyou Cave.

Xuanyou Cave is also a domain of destruction, but it is special because it is located underground. The cave has three large openings on the ground, like sinkholes, and there are about thirty more small openings. Sometimes it rains continuously, and the original small hole collapses and is covered up, but a new small hole is exposed elsewhere.

The caves below are connected, some big and some small, I don’t know how vast it is. And there are still different opinions on how this strange realm of destruction was formed.

Historically, many major cultivators in the capital have gone deep into it, but they have never been able to find out how deep the Xuanyou Cave is.

The alien species here are mainly spiritual insects and spiritual plants, with fewer beasts and not many other monsters. The deeper you go, the higher the levels of monsters get, but they are all restricted by the Destruction Domain and are reluctant to come out.

In order to ensure the absolute safety of the capital, the Wu Dynasty had sent out major repairmen many times in history to try to completely annihilate this area of ​​​​annihilation. However, every time they advanced to the depths, they suffered heavy losses and failed. Over time, the imperial court also changed its strategy, from complete annihilation to regular purges.

In recent years, this kind of "regular clean-up" has continued, but only God knows whether anyone has done the clean-up.

The Beijing camp has stationed a group of troops near Xuanyou Cave, with the Sixth Realm on guard. Once a horde of monsters occurs in Xuanyou Cave, they can be dispatched quickly to ensure the safety of the capital.
