But just when Fu Kui was overjoyed, he heard Jiang Xuanfeng immediately add:
“But the premise is that you have to exchange it with the battle achievements obtained in the dragon-slaying battle of this Dragon-Slaying Conference.”
“As for what is battle achievement, you will naturally know after you enter the Burial Immortal Ruins.”
Although he heard that to take away these natural treasures, he needed to exchange them with battle achievements, but that Fu Kui was still excited and said:
“With your words, Old Jiang, I can rest assured!”
As he spoke, he saw that Fu Kui once again put his eyes on Li Sisi’s face, and then said with a bit of arrogance in his tone:
“This Li Sisi our Fu family has decided on!”
And this time, those two clan elders, Fu De and Fu Wei, did not stop Fu Kui from shouting.
The two even glanced around when Fu Kui shouted, quite having the meaning of cheering for Fu Kui.
“Buzzing buzzing…”
Just as the crowd was discussing animatedly, the painting in front of Jiang Xuanfeng suddenly let out a series of trembling and chirping sounds.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that a succession of several scenes of inviting the gods appeared within that painting.
Xu Taiping took a rough glance and discovered that among these dozen or so people inviting the gods, there were merchant families like that Li Sisi just now; there were highly respected and powerful scholars in the imperial court; there were chivalrous swordsmen wandering the rivers and lakes and righting wrongs; there were the leaders of gangs who licked blood from the knife edge; there were people of all kinds walking the streets and alleys; there was a gambler who had just lost everything; there was a prostitute who had been beaten black and blue by the madam; there was a noble son whose family had been destroyed by the court and had no way out…
It has to be said that although these people had different identities, most of them had some trump cards.
Even the offering of that brothel prostitute was a treasure map related to the opportunity of the dragon catcher.
And from the tone of these people’s petitions, it could be heard that the reason their petitions could be heard by Xu Taiping and the others was all because they had a firm will that exceeded that of ordinary people.
However, looking at all these people inviting the gods.
Indeed, it was still that General Pang Zhong who was the most outstanding.
“The last person inviting the gods has finally appeared!”
Just as Xu Taiping was carefully looking at the dozen or so god-calling people in the picture, Fu Kui who had long since selected the dragon catcher and was a little impatient from waiting, suddenly shouted loudly.
For a moment, the gazes of all the cultivators in the dilapidated temple fell on the last god-calling person.
Xu Taiping was no exception.
As the image became clearer and clearer, Xu Taiping finally saw the appearance of the last god-calling person.
That was a one-eyed old man.
The old man’s face was full of wrinkles, and the wrinkles were like small rivers converging at the corners of his eyes and mouth. His eyes were deep and dark, full of a sad expression.
His thin lips were tightly pursed, as if suppressing some kind of emotion in his heart. His white hair was sparse and weak, and his tattered blue cloth long shirt had long been worn and faded, with the patched front fluttering in the wind.
Even the straw sandals on his feet had been worn through, and the mud was mottled.
Compared with the other dozen or so god-calling people who were full of ambition, this old man who looked like an old farmer seemed very out of place.
On the offering table in the god-calling array where the old farmer was standing, there were only simply placed a plate of wild fruits, a few steamed buns, and a pot of old wine.
After seeing the appearance of the old farmer and the shabby offerings on the offering table, the cultivators immediately lost interest in him.
Some cultivators even said with some dissatisfaction:
“Why was even this old farmer who is about to enter the soil selected? Could it be that the Dragon-Slaying Assembly is deliberately increasing the difficulty for us?”
Upon hearing this, the old palace master Jiang Xuanfeng just smiled faintly and said:
“The people who invite the gods within the Burial Immortal Ruins are not something we can control. However, as long as someone can appear in front of you, they must have their own outstanding features.”
Although everyone did not refute the words of the old palace master Jiang Xuanfeng, they all disagreed in their hearts.
Because no matter how one looked at it, this last person who invited the gods was just an old farmer who was about to enter the soil.
The talkative Fu Kui even teased in a low voice:
“If anyone selects this old bone, the first thing they will have to do after entering the Burial Immortal Ruins is probably not to take care of the funeral affairs of this old bone.”
Upon hearing this, many cultivators couldn’t help but burst out laughing with a “puchi” sound.
And the Mysterious Knowledge Mage sitting beside Xu Taiping asked with some curiosity: “This old man couldn’t even take out a decent plate of offerings. How did he set up this god-inviting array?”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian on the side immediately pointed to the black line at the old man’s feet that was emitting a red glow and explained:
“Among the mortals in the Burial Immortal Ruins Secret Realm, as long as they collect the fireworks of a thousand households and then use that fireworks to draw the god-inviting array even without offerings, they can still invite the gods.”
“It is said that this is a means of inviting deities especially bestowed by the Dragon Riding Great Emperor out of compassion for the ordinary people in the Burial Immortal Ruins who have nothing.”
Jiang Xuanfeng nodded with a smile upon hearing this and said:
Miss Dongfang is indeed udite and informed that The thing used by that old man to draw the array at his feet is indeed the collected smoke and fire of a thousand households.”
Upon hearing the words, Xu Taiping, who had always felt that the old man’s eyebrows and eyes were somewhat familiar suddenly had a thought in his heart.
Because the two brothers he saw in the divine mark picture of Lotus Pupil were precisely using the stove ashes transformed from the smoke and fire of a thousand households to draw the deity-inviting formation.
Just as Xu Taiping discovered this, he heard the old man standing in the deity-inviting formation suddenly kowtow and say in the formation:
“All the deities and Buddhas are above.”
“Gu Yu of Hongling Town.”
“Today, I swear to the sky.”
“I am willing to use this body as a sacrifice, willing to use this soul as an offering, and willing to use this life not to enter reincarnation as a sacrifice to help the deities and Buddhas descend to the earth to slay the dragon!”
“I am inviting the deities not to seek wealth and honor, but only to avenge the burning of the Red Carp Bookstore!”
“I am inviting the deities not to seek longevity, but only to ask the immortals to bestow me with supernatural powers to kill all the eight hypocritical villains in Bahao Valley.”
Except for Xu Taiping, almost all the cultivators in the broken temple didn’t pay much attention to the old man’s words.
After all, in their eyes, he was just an old farmer. Even if he offered his body and soul, it would be of no use at all.
Even Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi had begun to select among the other god-callers.
The Dongfang family ranked second when they were listed. Even if they couldn’t choose Pang Zhong, they could still select the strongest one among the remaining eighteen dragon catchers.
And when Xu Taiping heard these words, he was like being struck by lightning.
“Gu Yu? Isn’t the younger brother who survived among those two brothers named Gu Yu?”
“It’s him. Even the words he said when calling the gods are exactly the same. It’s him!”
After murmuring like this in his heart, Xu Taiping was already able to confirm that the old man in front of him was the younger brother Gu Yu among those two teenagers.
Xu Taiping was very touched in his heart and said:
“I didn’t expect that this Gu Yu, who is a bit cowardly in character, not only didn’t give up on himself after his brother’s death, but still didn’t give up on calling the gods! Didn’t give up on avenging his master!”
