Speaking of mental methods, Chen Luo went straight to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is the library. Last time, Chen Luo found the Shuijing Zhu here. He gained a general understanding of the mountains and rivers of the Chinese mainland and benefited a lot.
I originally planned to do it again, but because the schedule was too intensive and I had to prepare for a fight, I postponed it until now. Today, Chen Luo planned to do some shopping to see if he could find anything useful.
This time, instead of looking around aimlessly, Chen Luo decided to look for books related to water-avoiding beads first.
The person guarding this floor of the library is a hunchbacked old man with long eyebrows. He is lying on a chair with his eyes closed and meditating.
Chen Luo walked forward and cupped his hands, "Old man, where is the book about avoiding water beads?"
The old man half-opened his eyes after hearing this, "What did you say?"
"Avoid the water beads!" Chen Luo said loudly again.
"Hmm~~" The old man understood and pointed to a bookshelf, "The books about beads are all over there!"
Chen Luo looked along and pointed to a bookshelf located between the ancient books area and the modern area. Chen Luo walked up and took a look, and couldn't help but be wowed. He saw a row of modern books on the bookshelf that introduced the topic of beads.
What night-light pearls, wind-fixing pearls, soul-reviving pearls, water-avoiding pearls...
Quickly finding the water-repellent beads, Chen Luo opened the book and took a look. There were dozens of densely packed pages introducing the texture, origin, use, and methods of identifying the authenticity of the water-repellent beads.
This is the conclusion reached by future generations after research. Regrettably, Chen Luo searched for a long time and could not find a way to control this water-avoiding bead.
Is the water-proof function of this water-proof bead itself a joke? No one in later generations thought of using this to avoid water? People in later generations can only collect it as a jade bead of excellent material.
Chen Luo was unwilling to give in and went to the ancient books area of the bookshelf to search again. He finally found some clues in an ancient book from ancient times.
This water-proof bead is actually an orb refined by the ancient god Dayu. After Gonggong collided with Buzhou Mountain, the sky and the earth tilted. The terrain of China is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. Although Nuwa Empress refined the colorful jade, it made the sky and the earth tilt.
After climbing into the cave, there was still a huge flood, running rampant on the land. So Dayu followed the order of Emperor Shun and went to control the flood.
In order to lead his subordinates to control the water, Dayu refined several water-repellent beads and distributed them to his subordinates in all directions, east, west, south, and north, for use in water control. Each of his subordinates took the water-repellent beads and used the channeling method to sneak into the bottom of the river.
The silt obstacles were removed and the blockage points were successfully opened, thereby controlling the flood and eventually leading the flood into the sea.
Could it be that the water-proof bead in my hand is one of the beads that was handed down from that time? Chen Luo thought, if it is true, it is definitely of great significance. No wonder this bead feels extremely old at first glance
, no wonder magatama also chirps.
It's just a pity that this ancient book only records this ancient legend and does not leave any words on how to operate this water-proof bead.
Chen Luo was slightly disappointed. Could it be that since Emperor Yu, the world has been peaceful and the method of using the water-avoiding beads has been lost? He had to put down the book and the story of the water-avoiding beads comes to an end for the time being.
Just as I was thinking about it, the jade sign from Chen Luo buzzed and vibrated. Someone was looking for it. I took out the jade sign and saw that it was Tian Wuji who had sent the message, inviting Chen Luo and Nan Guaner to a gathering at the Qing Yu House.
Perhaps Tian Wuji had heard some news again, so Chen Luo put down his books, said goodbye to the library, and headed towards Qingyu Tower. When he arrived at Qingyu Tower, Tian Wuji and Nan Guan'er had already arrived and were sitting down holding a piece of paper.
What were they studying? When they saw Chen Luo coming in, they both stood up to greet him.
"Brother Chen Luo, congratulations on reaching the finals in all three subjects!" Tian Wuji said with a smile, "Although there is no surprise to me, I believe that Brother Chen Luo's strong rise will surprise many people!"
"Yes, Brother Chen Luo and Master Wuji, you both have entered the finals!" Nan Guan'er said enviously.
"Don't feel inferior, little sister. It's already amazing that you can enter the two finals!" Tian Wuji comforted. In fact, Tian Wuji was right. This competition is about selecting the best among the best. Every step forward means sacrifice.
A greater price.
"Sister Guan'er is right, Mr. Tian is the most powerful, Chen Luo is far behind him!" Chen Luo said modestly.
Tian Wuji handed the paper in his hand to Chen Luo, "This is the next round of competition content that my uncle took out from inside. Brother Chen Luo can take a look at it for reference first, so that he can be prepared."
Chen Luo was not polite, took the paper over and read it, secretly shocked.
I saw more detailed rules of the competition written on the paper. In addition to Chen Luo already knowing the order of the modern jade, ancient jade, and stone gambling competition, there is also a more important piece of news, that is, the outcome will be determined by one round.
One round determines the outcome! This is a good thing and a bad thing for the players who have been tested. The good thing is that they can finally decide the outcome, and there is no need to go through rounds of PK. The bad thing is that it increases the chance of failure. If
If you accidentally perform abnormally, there will be no chance of a comeback.
"Brother Chen Luo, have you heard of Black Dragon Black Jade?" Tian Wuji asked.
Chen Luo nodded, "Brother Tian, why did you mention this black dragon black jade?"
"This final will most likely involve Black Dragon Moyu!" Tian Wuji said mysteriously. This is secret news. Only people like Tian Wuji come from aristocratic families, and their families also have members of the standing committee of the competition organizing committee, so
You definitely know more than others.
Black Dragon Black Jade is the most mysterious existence for those who understand jade in the world. It would be great if everyone could hear some stories about it, but very few people have seen it with their own eyes, let alone studied it in depth.
But Chen Luo is an exception.
"In the finals, everything is uncertain. It no longer depends only on strength, but sometimes it also depends on opportunities and a little bit of luck." After Tian Wuji finished speaking, he looked at Chen Luo deeply.
It took no effort to find it even after breaking through the iron shoes. One of the purposes of Chen Luo's participation in the Jade Unraveling Competition was to find out the whereabouts of the Black Dragon Black Jade. The other was to fulfill Bian He's wish. Both of them were important to Chen Luo.
If we can unlock the secret of Black Dragon Black Jade and get this great opportunity, it will be a blessing.
At this moment, I know and have obtained the news about Black Dragon Black Jade, but I cannot tell anyone about it yet.
So Chen Luo listened quietly to Tian Wuji's explanation.
"It is said that this black dragon ink jade is the only way to Kunlun. The Kunlun Mountains stretch for thousands of kilometers. If there is no black dragon ink jade, if you rely on manpower to search for it, you may not be able to find it even if you step on a hundred pairs of shoes."
Tian Wuji knew a lot and talked eloquently to Chen Luo.
"Of these four pieces of black dragon ink jade, two are in the hands of the Yu Gang. After the Yu Gang lost one piece, there is still one piece left."
"So in this competition, the Jade Gang will consult the organizing committee and use the only remaining piece of black dragon ink jade as the final topic of the ancient jade group!"
"Thank you, brother Wuji, for your guidance!" Chen Luo was grateful for Tian Wuji's honesty and unfairness. "This thing indeed depends on fate. Let's see who among us is the destined one."
Nan Guan'er also gestured to Tian Wuji. After all, she followed these two people and learned many secrets that she didn't know.
In order, the modern jade competition will be held first, then the ancient jade group competition, and then the stone gambling competition.
"I wonder if Brother Tian knows that tomorrow's modern jade final will be decided by one round. What kind of competition is it?" Chen Luo asked.
Tian Wuji shook his head, "This is top-secret information, and I don't know either!"
"The reason why it is not allowed to be leaked may have something to do with the topic itself. The organizing committee is still very strict and will never let out any information that should not be leaked!"
