The two doormen were startled at first, but then they remembered the aura displayed by this "Kong Ming", and they all showed envy in unison.
The people of the Peacock clan also had ancient writings that evolved from totems. However, with the deepening of exchanges with other races, their own language was gradually abandoned, and they turned to the common language in the monastic world that originated from ancient Taoist books. Their surname was also named Kong.
surname.
As for names, those with noble status, high potential in the path, and those who can enter the twelve attributes of supernatural power branch temples are named with a single character; while those with lower origins and lower potential are named with two characters.
The name is a single character, and given the size of the nine major branches of the Peacock clan, repetition of names is inevitable.
There is an unwritten rule among the Peacock clan. For the senior ancestors who have left a great mark and great reputation in the clan, they often avoid naming their names. This is not only out of respect, but also to prevent one's own luck from being ruined by the powerful predecessors.
Suppression of will.
However, if a latecomer can break through this shackles after inheriting the name of his predecessor, it means that this person's qualifications and destiny are extraordinary; different generations speak with the same voice, and they are not inferior to the ancestors.
It's just that after the peacock clan gave birth to an heir, not many parents dared to take this risk.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a powerful man named "Kong Ming" in the Peacock clan. Contrary to the normal practice of demon monks who were only proficient in the magical powers of their own bloodline, he had a comprehensive understanding of humanities and mastered dozens of skills of other demon clans and even human civilization.
With magical powers and wonderful skills, he became one of the best in the Demon King Realm at that time.
In addition, this person is also proficient in the art of formations. To this day, the protective formations used to protect the eight secret places in the clan are the result of this powerful man named Kong Ming adapting to local conditions and achieving them with skill. His formations are
The strategy, collectively known as the "Eight Formations", is a secret treasure among the Peacock clan.
The highlight of this auction - "Five Directions Eastward Formation", is an imitation of one of the formations.
The "Kong Ming" with the same name in front of me took the name of his ancestor, but his aura is strong and his charm is exquisite. He has obviously overcome the hardship of inheriting the name and has an extremely bright future.
After recording his name, "Kong Ming" nodded to the two guards and the Kong staff, and walked to Yangcheng alone.
This "Kong Ming" is naturally the embodiment of blamelessness.
His current face is slightly different from that of Kong De and Kong Yan in the Banshi Sect, with the addition of Kong Ying who was in charge of the auction; the outlines of the three people merged into one.
Yangcheng is an ancient town style, with crisscross streets and clusters of thoroughfares. Along the main road like a chessboard, it is made of bricks and tiles, showing the image of ink and wash, with clear black and white. And the courtyards and residences hidden in the depths are covered with thatched grass.
There are bamboo nests, cave dwellings in the mountains, and underground chambers in earth pits. There are all kinds of folk houses.
Above each house, there is a faint trace of fresh air suspended. This is the result of the calmness of the air when there is no one in the house, and it condenses naturally. If someone lives in it and the energy changes, the fresh air on the roof will automatically disappear.
.
Guests who come to Yangcheng can choose a courtyard at will, stay temporarily, and wait for the hunting party to begin. On the several crisscross streets that can be regarded as the main roads, there are also wine shops, teahouses, various shops, and mutual entertainment.
The embellishment creates a wonderful mundane atmosphere.
Not only the Peacock clan, but also many powerful races have ancient places like these that look like mortal towns. Even the foundation of the clan was built according to this example.
Before the ancient times, the demon clan relied on their natal magical powers and innate laws to enter the Tao from birth and practice for a long time. They naturally dominated this world. However, as time went by, humanity began to flourish. The seemingly weak and weak human race refined the Qi refining method.
Refining, going further and further, and finally able to carve out a pure land from the rule of demons, until the land is carved out and the territory is sealed, and a tripod is established.
The knowledgeable people among the demon clan were also deeply shocked. They felt that although their talent was great, their learning was far inferior, so they wanted to learn from the method of humane prosperity.
However, the humanistic sect at that time was far from being like the ancestral home of the holy religion today. It was like a hidden sect. It had established a foundation and was astonishing. The places where it preached and preached were all hidden in the mountains. Those who had great achievements in cultivation were excluded.
Apart from being born at a certain time, searching for disciples, and being enlightened by fate, ordinary people cannot easily see it.
These monsters cannot see their true master and cannot learn the Dharma, but they have imported many buildings, texts, literature, art, and regulations from secular humane civilization and imitated them as usual.
Many of these existences, which look like ordinary towns, were established at that time and have been passed down to this day.
Gui Wujiu took a look around the city and saw that the roofs of sixty-seven out of ten houses were all covered with fresh air. It could be seen that there were many vacant residences and there was no rush. Looking from east to west, his heart moved and he quickened his pace.
.
The rest of the buildings in this small city are very simple, just like an ordinary market town. Only a huge round altar was built in the center of the city, about twenty or thirty feet high. I don't know what it is used for. Gui Wujiu became interested.
I immediately decided to go and have a look.
After a while, Gui Wujiu arrived here. However, he saw that the two red copper-nailed doors were completely open, and there was no one guarding them. There was a large empty space with more than a dozen people walking back and forth, which seemed extremely sparse.
What is more eye-catching is that there is a huge "chessboard" hanging on the wall in the middle of the hall.
When Gui Wujiu got closer, he realized that this object was much denser than a "chessboard". The chessboard had nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, while the square boulder in front of him had three hundred and sixty-one vertical and horizontal lines, surrounding it.
One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred spaces.
Each space seems to be filled with a lot of text, starting with a name and followed by a long string of numbers. After careful observation, it seems that the text in the space is changing from time to time.
Beside the boulder, there was a tall and thin young man, dressed similarly to the two guards outside the stone gate. He was probably the deacon responsible for managing this place.
Gui Wujiu was moved in his heart and asked, "I wonder what the use of this stone in front of me is?"
The tall and thin deacon said in surprise: "This is the source of the projection of the 'Baguio Heavenly Pillar', and the list of participating monks. Why, isn't this fellow Taoist here to place a bet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in rich clothes came to Gui Wujiu's side. He stared at the boulder for a while. Suddenly he looked happy, checked his name again, took out a gift ring from his sleeve, and threw it into a space on the boulder.
superior.
It's strange to say. This seemingly ordinary boulder seemed to produce a trace of spatial fluctuation the moment the holding ring came into contact with it, and immediately swallowed up the holding ring.
The young man in fine clothes seemed to have expected it and was not surprised.
Gui Wujiu's sharp eyes saw the writing on the square he had thrown into it: Kong Ying, it's two o'clock on the ninth day. There were nine squares the size of a fingernail underneath.
It turns out that the names of all those who participated in Meng Dongtian's hunting party will be entered into this huge stone. In order to prevent confusion with the same name, the time when the person entered Yangcheng was also appended to the name to distinguish them.
As for the purpose of doing this, it is interesting to say that it is not a serious purpose, but to add a game closely related to "Mengdong Field Hunting" for the Peacock clan.
In the main city of the nine branches of the Peacock clan, there is a pillar, which is the "Baguio Tianzhu" with nine sons in one body. The words recorded on the pillar are exactly the words and contents transmitted from the huge stone in front of you.
The "Baguio Hall" to which the "Baguio Tianzhu" belongs is, to put it bluntly, equivalent to a casino, and is used by the Peacock tribe to place bets on the final rankings of the monks from the Field Hunting Society.
Gui Wujiu was astonished when he heard this. Suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to feel that there was someone tens of millions of miles away who seemed to be vaguely connected to him.
…
On a majestic and quaint street, two young women held hands and walked slowly forward.
These two women are both at the golden elixir realm. The one on the left is wearing a green skirt, with gold dots on her forehead, her eyes are very smart, and she has a round face, looking innocent and cheerful; while the one on the right is
One person is wearing a plain skirt, with a slender face and a slightly straight nose. Although there are no unnecessary decorations, he has an extraordinary bearing, is pure and ancient.
Although the women of the Peacock clan are all outstanding in appearance, there is only one in a million whose appearance and temperament can be compared with the two in front of them.
The two women turned a blind eye to the glances directed at them intentionally or unintentionally on the street, and walked alone. Especially the clear-faced woman in a plain skirt, her brows were slightly furrowed, with a hint of sadness.
At this moment, the woman in the green skirt was suddenly startled, and immediately took out something from her sleeve and looked at it. She suddenly showed joy and said: "Sister Ling, your 'Four Elephant Shuttle' is here."
The woman in plain skirt shook her head and said: "Sister Mo. Sister Mo has already put down that treasure. After re-appraisal by the elders, the quality of the thing was much higher than expected. The final transaction price was not the 1.5 billion originally expected.
, but around 5 billion! If it were the original price, my sister could barely get it together by spending all her savings. But if it is a sky-high price of 5 billion, how can you get it?"
The woman in the green dress widened her eyes, her rosy cheeks bulged slightly, and said: "It's a matter of confidentiality. I forgive my sister for not telling me. Sister, please come with me!"
Then he pulled the woman in plain skirt, half flying, half running.
These two beauties with divine looks ran wildly on the street regardless of their appearance, immediately attracting more people's attention. Many people even secretly took out treasures such as shadow stones to preserve the images.
Finally, the two of them ran to a golden palace, under a very majestic jade pillar. The woman in the green dress blinked her eyes and whispered: "Sister Ling, how much savings can you spend?"
The woman in plain skirt hesitated for a moment and said: "Except for the assets that are difficult to sell at the moment, what is available now is about 800 million spiritual stones."
The girl in the green dress cheered up and said: "Good sister, your qualifications are above mine. I have helped you a lot this time. When you become rich in the future, don't forget my little sister."
The woman in plain skirt asked curiously: "What do you mean by this, little sister?"
The woman in the green skirt didn't answer, but she searched the stone tablet from top to bottom. Finally, she found the word "Kong Ming" more than three feet above the ground, and she was immediately overjoyed.
He turned around and said: "Sister, take out all the 800 million savings you have."
The woman in plain skirt said curiously: "My sister wants to..."
The girl in the green dress had radiance in her eyes and whispered: "Buy him to be among the top three in the hunting party! If you buy him now, you will get at least two hundred and fifty times the profit. Sister, you know that you will be a rich man soon."
The woman in plain skirt said in shock: "Sister Mo...where did you get the news?"
The girl in the green dress whispered: "Sister, don't ask. I can only tell you that this person is very powerful! If you buy him, he will be the first. My sister dare not say it to death; but if you buy him, the top three, Kong Mo is 100% sure.
Success. If you lose money at that time, I will return the principal to you."
