Chapter 272 New Order! The Secret of the Ancient God
Chapter 272 New Order! The Secret of the Ancient God
"You are talented and smart, but you can also cause trouble," Yue Lingfei took a sip of wine, her face flushed.
"The followers of the ancient gods are all madmen who have lost their minds. You never know when they will crawl out from the shadows and bite you."
She was generous with her praise for Chen Changfan, but she also spoke very directly.
Obviously, she did not dare to offend the followers related to the ancient gods easily.
"I'm good at killing fish and turtles. The best time to kill a turtle is when it stretches its head out to bite you."
Chen Changfan obviously didn't care.
He picked up the wine bottle and clinked it with Yue Lingfei, who immediately withdrew her hand distressedly. "This glass bottle is really beautiful. I'm going to take it back for my collection. Don't bump it and break it."
Chen Changfan was stunned, then came to his senses.
I still have a bit of a science and engineering mindset. New things like glass can be used to make some nice decorations and sell them.
But I only wanted to use this thing to build a greenhouse and store white wine.
Oh, and there are also bio-grenades.
"Can you lend me your ink knife?"
Chen Changfan still remembered that the ink knife seemed to be able to stretch and lengthen, and its attack methods were unpredictable, which was truly magical.
"This... this is my magic weapon, I can't show it to others easily."
Yue Lingfei's face rarely showed a trace of reluctance, it was obvious that this ink knife was of great significance to her.
"That's it..."
In this case, Chen Changfan could basically be certain that the childish female voice before should have come from the ink knife in Yue Lingfei's hand.
Perhaps it is because his three senses are open and his hearing is different from that of ordinary people, so he can hear sounds that others cannot hear.
Only then could they hear the slight footsteps even at a distance of dozens of meters, and thus discover the man sneaking into the yard in advance.
He wasn't sure if he was the only one who had three open roots, but Yue Lingfei didn't hear the slight footsteps just now.
"Your ink sword can change its form. Is it a martial art? Or a magic weapon?"
"This ink knife has been passed down for a long time. It is said to have existed since the time of the saints. Although it is not a magic weapon, it has spirituality."
The period of saints can probably be traced back to the founding of the Dawu Dynasty.
By this calculation, this black knife must be at least three hundred years old.
After three hundred years, even a stone would become a spirit, so it is not surprising that Mo Dao has the ability to transform.
"If you want to get a magic weapon, why not try your luck at Taixu Pavilion. It has a rich Confucian heritage and may have relics of saints." Yue Lingfei gave a wicked smile.
"I heard that Taixu Pavilion is full of ruthless people. Why don't you and I go together?"
Chen Changfan is not a fool. He once talked with Ji Wenkong and learned that he was a disciple of Taixu Pavilion. He had many magical weapons on him, which showed the extraordinaryness of Taixu Pavilion.
Although the name of Taixu Pavilion is domineering enough, every time Chen Changfan thinks of Ji Wenkong's kidney deficiency, he can't help but want to laugh.
Yue Lingfei knew she had failed to trick Chen Changfan, so she changed the subject. "You can also choose to trade with the people from Difei Mountain. They can refine magical weapons. If you move a box of this fine wine, you might be able to exchange it for some interesting magical weapons."
As she spoke, Yue Lingfei took another sip of wine. She made a "shaha" sound with her mouth and squinted her eyes comfortably, with an expression of great enjoyment.
Difei Mountain, Chen Changfan is no stranger to this mountain.
It is said that this place is the first blessed land of Taoism and the eighth cave heaven.
It can be regarded as the ancestral home of Taoism and a holy place of Xuanmen.
Chen Changfan really wanted to go and take a look. Since it was a sacred mountain, he might be able to find many sacred beasts and precious plants.
Oh, by the way, let’s go to Qinghe tomorrow to see what’s happening with those piranhas.
By the way, let's check out the fishing situation in Qinghe River.
Now that he has come to Qinghe County, all he thinks about is fishing and hunting. There is no way around it; it has become his instinct.
The two of them had their own thoughts. After drinking the wine in the bottle, they found that the surroundings had become brighter.
A bright moon broke through the clouds, casting its light on the earth. The ink knife on Yue Lingfei's waist seemed to move uneasily.
She burped, patted the blade, and then carefully put away the two empty bottles. She bowed to Chen Changfan and said,
"Thank you, Master Chen, for the wine and hospitality. I have finished my drink and will now take my leave."
Chen Changfan bowed in return and drank the wine that night. He felt relaxed all over.
Not only did he gain a lot of information, but his own energy and blood also increased a lot.
The two came down from the roof and found that the master and disciple were already drunk and unconscious. Yue Lingfei kicked them angrily, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Chen Changfan:
"By the way, Master Chen, I heard that the swords and weapons made by your Xiaofeng Manor are of high quality. I wonder if you can forge Moyun Iron."
Moyun Iron is a type of iron ore unique to the Modao Sect. It is named Moyun Iron because its ore is often covered with dark black pieces, like ink clouds.
This Moyun iron is one of the main materials for forging Mo knives, but it is also extremely difficult to forge.
At least the Mo Dao Sect does not have the ability to forge Mo Dao, and they are all using previous stock.
At present, if one of these ink swords is broken, there will be one less, so the disciples of the Ink Sword Sect all treat the ink swords as treasures.
"Moyuntie? You can give it a try."
With the current forging level of Xiaofeng Village, ordinary iron ore is not a problem at all, but Chen Changfan did not dare to say too much, he just said to give it a try.
"Okay, I'll send a basket of Black Cloud Iron over tomorrow. If Master Chen can forge it, I'd like to place a long-term order."
Yue Lingfei held a person in each hand as if they were nothing.
With a few leaps, he jumped out of the inn and disappeared into the night.
"Oh my! There's a pile of lantern wine on the ground, and two bottles of Erguotou. They've all been drunk!"
When Shen Wanwu entered the house, he saw empty wine jars all over the floor, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
"Isn't it just a few drinks? Look at you, you're such a loser. I just made a deal. If we get it done, all the drinks are welcome!"
Shen Wanwu was stunned and just stood there.
What? You closed another deal over a few drinks?
Shen Wanwu suddenly felt a little self-doubt.
Are you from a businessman background, or is your boss from a businessman background?
Why can he close a deal just by having a meal and some drinks?
"Tomorrow, take the goods we brought to the market and sell them. Remember not to sell them all at once. For example, the Lantern Wine will be limited to 100 jars per day, and the Erguotou will be sold directly at auction."
"Ah?" Shen Wanwu was shocked again.
"What? We're going to have knife-cutting competitions, flash sales, group purchases, pre-sales, and so many other things. You still have a lot to learn."
Fighting knife, flash sale, group purchase, pre-sale...
Shen Wanwu had never heard of these words before, but his boss had already planned them in advance?
Shen Wanwu felt that the longer he stayed with his boss, the more unfathomable he felt his boss was.
"Tomorrow we'll kick off the celebration with some drinks. You can take care of the details."
Chen Changfan gave an order and Shen Wanwu retreated happily.
Even though it was late at night, Shen Wanwu still felt energetic.
He really couldn't think of such a good idea as selling alcohol by limiting purchases and auctioning!
Seeing Shen Wanwu looking like he was full of energy, Chen Changfan pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly.
In his previous life, his hometown had already taken promotional activities to new heights, which in this world was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
I still remember that there was a brand of liquor that originally cost 1499 yuan but was hyped up and sold at twice the price, causing a scramble for it.
As a result, many platforms launched a limited-time flash sale feature to buy this wine at the original price, attracting hundreds of thousands of people to rush to buy it almost every day.
Although Chen Changfan’s homemade Erguotou may not have the sauce-flavored technology, it is still a god-like existence in this world.
Once this wine is launched, it will surely attract thousands of people to buy it.
His strategy of using purchase restrictions and flash sales to attract traffic and accumulate popularity is the most direct and effective.
"We'll see tomorrow. Perhaps business wars in this world are also very simple. Maybe it's as simple and crude as you watering my money tree, and I'll report your fire safety."
Feeling sleepy, Chen Changfan found a bedroom and fell asleep.
As the alcohol continued to be digested, his rising energy and blood were spontaneously merging into his own flesh and blood. Now that his skin and flesh had grown fully developed, his energy and blood began to temper the tendons throughout his body.
I have to say, this process is quite refreshing.
It is like an experienced massage technician giving a deep massage to your whole body.
He fell into a deep sleep and had a very strange dream.
Suddenly, he seemed to be in another world.
Darkness, just endless darkness.
The darkness was like a substantial tide, constantly engulfing and crushing him, pulling him into a whirlpool of nothingness.
Just when he thought he was about to be swallowed by the darkness, a sudden warmth came from his chest, dispelling the darkness around him.
The next moment, he saw again the huge figure of Xuanwu that he had dreamed of before. It was as majestic as a mountain, making people feel insignificant.
Suddenly, the mountain-like figure trembled violently. The Xuanwu, which was as steady as the earth, seemed to be frightened by something, and its four legs like pillars began to tremble.
The earth suddenly shook, and he didn't know whether it was caused by the shaking of Xuanwu or because something more terrifying had arrived.
He was wrapped in a warm current, which seemed to isolate his six senses, but he still felt inexplicable palpitations.
The next moment, twelve huge figures that stood tall and straight suddenly appeared in the darkness. The twelve figures were so huge that it was difficult to describe. In comparison with these twelve figures, Xuanwu looked like a baby.
He saw a figure covered with countless strands of long hair. Upon closer inspection, he found that the long hair was actually terrifying waves.
The raging waves were its hair, the golden water was its body, and with a quick glance from an unknown distance, he seemed to hear the terrifying sound of water.
A strand of long hair fell down and cut Xuanwu into two pieces. Xuanwu cried out to the sky, but Chen Changfan could not hear any sound.
But my heart was filled with fear.
Twelve figures moved almost at the same time.
There was a figure wearing colorful clothes, and countless insects flew out from his body and pounced on Xuanwu, causing Xuanwu's flesh and blood to shrivel up quickly.
Immediately afterwards, the second, third... twelve figures descended to the earth one after another.
Disaster came.
Twelve terrifying figures began to slaughter all creatures on the earth, devouring ancient beasts such as Xuanwu.
In a moment, blood flowed like a river and bones piled up, just like hell.
Chen Changfan suddenly woke up from his dream and found that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
I looked out the window and found that it was already bright outside.
It felt like I hadn't slept for long, but it was already dawn.
Recalling the dream he had just had, he still felt a little scared.
Somehow, he always felt that it was not a dream, but a real history.
As for why it appeared in his dream, he had no idea yet.
In that dream or historical sketch, some details are very vivid, while others are very vague.
For example, he saw the giant black tortoise clearly.
Some specific details can also be seen about the figure of the water flow and the figure of the poisonous insect.
But the other ten figures and the figures of the other swallowed beasts were all very blurry.
"Perhaps it's because of the tortoise shell fragment in my arms that the image of Xuanwu is so clear. The warm current that just rose in my chest was also due to this tortoise shell fragment?"
Chen Changfan took out the tortoise shell from his arms, and the familiar warm feeling made him feel inexplicably at ease.
But at the same time, the curse of the life bottle in his palm gave him a cold and evil feeling.
If we consider the mysterious figure just now, the beast head of this cursed mark looks very similar to the figure that released the endless poisonous insects.
"Could it be that that is the Witch God?"
He seemed to be inspired and took out the small mirror he had just obtained. The animal head pattern engraved on the back of the mirror seemed to be somewhat similar to the figure in the water.
"That figure is the Water God?"
If it was really as he guessed, he might have witnessed an unknown bloody history.
This history may be a secret from tens of millions of years ago.
At a certain period in ancient times, there were giant beasts such as the Black Tortoise living in this world. But one day, twelve terrifying ancient gods came and devoured and killed the giant beasts, almost destroying this world.
It is still unknown whether ancient beasts and ancient gods exist today.
But the believers of the Witch God and the Water God are still there, which means that these two ancient gods are likely still alive.
If there are such terrifying existences in this world, it is possible that the world will really end one day.
Oh shit!
Chen Changfan couldn't help but curse.
I thought that now that my life has settled down and I have decent abilities, I can live a comfortable and happy life.
But with the emergence of such a heaven-defying existence as the Ancient God, he still couldn't be completely at ease.
"Even an Ancient God of his stature wouldn't stoop so low as to come and take down a little Karami like me. There's no need for me to worry about anything. I'll just continue to grow steadily. If the day of destruction truly comes, and we all die, there's nothing to be afraid of."
After calming down, Chen Changfan changed his clothes, washed his face, and sat at the dining table to have breakfast with his wife and daughter.
"Erlang, didn't you sleep well last night?" Shen Cuiyun was a woman after all, and she was very sensitive. She could tell at a glance that Chen Changfan was not in good spirits.
"Well, I drank a few more glasses yesterday, it's okay." Chen Changfan rolled his eyes.
"Huh! Daddy hasn't slept with Mommy for a long time. Is there someone else outside?"
Chen Changfan was stunned by the sudden words from the little kid.
