I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 205 Goodbye, Mr.

“Huh, the Golden Scissors can actually show some power in this world?” Zhang Chen looked at the two real dragons circling and intertwining, and stretched out his palm, and the two real dragons lay obediently in his palm.

"go with!"

Zhang Chen thought about it in his mind, and the next moment he saw the two dragons flying out and heading towards a jade pillar. The jade pillar was shattered into powder at the first sight, and then the two real dragons turned around, but their light was dimmed.

"What a treasure!" Zhang Chen praised and released the restraints on the golden scissors, allowing them to soar into the air and swallow up the magical aura between heaven and earth.

Zhang Chen looked at the ruined palace in front of him with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He lowered his head and saw his body, which was in the state of a soul. The green lotus was still floating above his head. Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "What a pity, this is not the past time and space. If I could go back to the past time and space again..."

Zhang Chen felt a little regretful that he had wasted several great opportunities.

"Next time I go to the big tomb to practice, I wonder if I can return to the past time and space." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Then Zhang Chen continued to search for jade, silently comprehending the runes in the palace, carefully sensing the inspiration in the runes, so as to gain new insights from them.

Unfortunately, the ruins are still ruins. There is nothing left. Apart from the broken and damaged runes, there is nothing valuable.

Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard in the dark sand in the distance, as if there was a woman's desperate wailing, sobbing, and begging for mercy. Zhang Chen's pupils could not help but shrink when he heard the scream, and his hair stood up in fear. He looked quickly towards the sand in the distance, and saw a flickering light in the dim sand. He saw a woman in white clothes, holding a lantern in her hand, standing in the dark sand, seemingly shouting something.

"What the hell!" Zhang Chen felt horrified. "Besides me, there are other living beings in this spiritual world?"

Just when Zhang Chen was about to take a closer look, the lights disappeared in the wind and sand, and the woman in white disappeared as well.

"Something is not right." Zhang Chen no longer had the interest to look through the runes while standing in the palace. He quickly devoted all his magic power to the golden shears, then exhausted his magic power and retreated from the spiritual world.

Inside the inn, Zhang Chen opened his eyes and touched his chest with lingering fear: "The spiritual world is not normal? I have never encountered such a situation before."

Zhang Chen quickly checked himself and saw the black air currents swirling in his soul. The black air currents seemed to emit a cold and ominous aura.

"Could it be that the weird and ominous things I encountered in the spiritual world were caused by this curse?" Zhang Chen pondered secretly.

He probably knew now that the mysterious opportunity he encountered in the real world would probably cause changes in the spiritual world, but Zhang Chen was not sure.

Unable to figure out the reason, Zhang Chen calmed himself down and continued to meditate and cultivate his magic power. To him, magic power was the most important thing.

That night, rumors began to spread and ferment among the crowd.

The young gentleman listened to the talk on the street, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Has a large tomb appeared outside Goulan County? Did the girl from the Zhong family actually find the entrance to the tomb?"

The young gentleman looked outside the city and saw lightning flashing across the sky and the ground, confirming the rumors.

The rumor Zhang Chen made up was too real. Not only was it true, but it was also supported by the Feng Shui formation. No one would doubt the rumor after hearing it.

"It's not far, let's just go there." The young gentleman flashed and when he reappeared he was already outside the tomb. From a distance he saw Zhong Xiang and the hundreds of guards setting up camp.

The young gentleman pondered for a moment, and the next moment a righteous spirit burst out of his body. He wrote a hidden word in front of his own home, and actually ignored Zhong Xiang and the hundreds of guards, and walked in directly with a swagger.

Just in the middle of the night, the young master came out from the depths of the cave with a sad face: "I knew it! I knew it! This is related to the fortune of the tomb, who would be stupid enough to pass the news on? I thought I had never suffered a loss in my life, but who would have thought that I would suffer a big loss today!"

The young gentleman looked at Zhong Xiang who was grilling meat in front of the campfire. He wanted to find Zhong Xiang to settle the score, but he thought that he was the one who sneaked in, which made him feel guilty. It would be embarrassing for a grown man like him to settle the score with a girl. Besides, he had a good relationship with the Zhong family, so he could only swallow the loss secretly.

"Since I can't settle the score with Zhong Xiang, I will go find the person who spread the rumor. I have to find someone to make this loss back." The young gentleman cursed and his voice disappeared into the darkness.

Then nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Zhang Chen went downstairs and ordered a bowl of tofu pudding and a sesame seed cake. He sat in the lobby to eat and see if there was any news about the tomb.

However, Zhang Chen was not disappointed. At this time, various news about the tomb had already fermented in the lobby of the inn.

"Have you heard? An ancient tomb has appeared outside the city. There are endless fortunes in the tomb. Whoever can dig something out of the tomb will enjoy endless wealth and glory."

"Nonsense, I heard someone say there is a magical elixir of immortality in that tomb. It is said that if you swallow it, you will live forever."

"What you two heard is all fake news. Let me tell you, my second aunt's brother-in-law's nephew personally explored that kind of tomb. It is said that what is really buried in the tomb is said to be the supreme artifact left by the ancient gods."

"..."

A group of people were talking about it. Zhang Chen listened to them and secretly praised them in his heart: "Huang Chao is a very particular guy. He is a man who gets things done."

"Next it depends on how things develop to what extent, whether Zhong Xiang can suppress those guys, and when he can't bear the pressure anymore, then put everyone in. Then everyone will jump into the trap together and pool everyone's wisdom. Sooner or later there will be a way to solve the curse." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Just when Zhang Chen was eating tofu pudding happily, a familiar voice sounded, and the next moment a burst of "Huh~" sound was heard, and Zhang Chen saw a mouthful of saliva in his tofu pudding. Zhang Chen's face turned pale and he was about to get angry, but he saw the young master looking at him with a smug look on his face, which made Zhang Chen suppress the anger in his heart.

"How come this guy learned Huang Chao's despicable methods?" Zhang Chen secretly slandered in his heart, but who is he, Zhang Chen, how could he suffer such a loss?

"Sir, what's the point? It's really disrespectful!" Zhang Chen looked at the tofu pudding in his hand, and wanted to imitate the young master's yesterday's behavior and swallow the tofu pudding without changing his expression. However, as soon as he thought about it, he felt his stomach churning. Then he looked at the smug young master opposite him, reached out his hand and tapped his crotch, then took out his hand to hold the tofu pudding, and his thumb "accidentally" inserted into the tofu pudding. He placed the tofu pudding on the table, and looked at the young master opposite him, waiting for his reaction. The young master's face immediately turned green, and his eyes were full of resentment as he looked at Zhang Chen: "My life motto is never to suffer a loss, but you would rather suffer a loss yourself than let others take advantage of you. You have a bad character and no temperament, you have to change! Look at this tofu pudding, originally I spit on it, you can't eat it but I can, but now you grab it like this, neither of us can eat it, isn't it a waste? We can fight wits and courage, but we must not waste things."

Zhang Chen glanced at the young gentleman when he heard this, and not wanting to provoke him, he simply lowered his head and ate the cake in silence.

"Do you think there is really a great tomb of an ancient god outside the mountain?" The young man took the pancake from the plate and stuffed it directly into his mouth, then called to the boss, "Give me a bowl of tofu pudding, put it on his account."

Zhang Chen's pupils tightened when he heard what the young master said. A thought popped into his mind: "How did he know that it was me who spread the news? No wonder he came to trouble me so early in the morning. It turned out to be because of this matter. But what does my news about the ancient tomb have to do with him? Is he investigating the tomb and wants to go to the tomb to find out the details?"

"Sir, if you want to know the truth, you need to ask the person who spread the rumor. Why are you asking me?" Zhang Chen pretended to be confused.

"The source of the rumors are those beggars. I remember you and the girl from the Xie family were watching the fun not far away yesterday. You two definitely weren't just wandering around there. Considering today's rumors, you must be waiting for the beggar leader." said the young master.

Zhang Chen suddenly realized what was going on. He never expected that the young master actually knew his weakness through this incident.

"Whether the tomb is real or fake, if you are interested, go and have a look. If you are not interested, don't go. Why are you asking me?" Zhang Chen looked at the young gentleman, who was eating a sesame cake while asking the boss for a bowl of tofu pudding.

The young gentleman seemed to want to say something but stopped himself when he heard this. The frustration in his heart was beyond words.

Can this be blamed on Zhang Chen?

He went there willingly!

But the young man had never suffered any loss in his life, not even a little bit, so how could he swallow this?

"I..." The young gentleman looked at Zhang Chen, opened his mouth but didn't know how to start, and didn't know how to save face.

"What are you going to say? Are you asking about the tomb?" Zhang Chen looked at the young master and thought to himself, "If I can trap the young master, it will be a good thing for me to have one more person to share the power of the curse."

"Is there really no way to break the curse of the tomb?" the young gentleman asked with a dark face.

He went back last night and studied all night, trying every possible way, but still couldn't find a way to break the curse.

"Are you cursed? What curse are you under?" When Zhang Chen heard the young master's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. If the other party said this, the resentment in his heart would instantly disappear.

The young master's face turned pale when he heard this. He did not answer Zhang Chen's words, but asked: "Is there a solution?"

“If I have a solution, why should I spread the message and bring everyone in? After all, there is strength in numbers. By the time everyone is cursed, perhaps we can pool everyone’s wisdom and come up with a solution.” Zhang Chen said with a smile.

The young man was so angry that his liver ached, but there was nothing he could do. He knew that he had come here in vain. If Zhang Chen knew how to break the curse, he would not have set such a wicked trap.

"Since I've suffered a loss, then I should make everyone else suffer a loss. When everyone suffers a loss, it will be equal to me not suffering a loss on average." The young gentleman ate his pancake while cursing, staring at Zhang Chen with his eyes: "Boy, tell me your plan, I'll think about it for you to see if there are any loopholes."

Zhang Chen did not hide anything and told him his plan. The young master shook his head and said, "Too crude! Your plan is too crude!"

"Do you have a better idea?" Zhang Chen asked.

"If I fight with that Zhong Xiang, I will then find some mysterious things, make some noise, and arrange some extras to stir up emotions, so that it will be perfect." The young gentleman said:
"Leave the rest to me, don't interfere."

At this point, the young gentleman looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of smiling eyes: "Logically speaking, you made me suffer such a big loss, I should slap you to death, after all, I never suffer a loss. But I think your style of doing things is quite to my liking..."

At this point, the young master looked at Zhang Chen's other hand holding the chopsticks. Did this kid not wash his hands? So he said, "How about you become my disciple? In this way, we can suffer losses among our own family members. The Great Victory Emperor ordered that the Imperial Academy should establish a mysterious academy dedicated to solving the mysteries of the world and finding the secret of immortality. I think you are very much my type. If you have time, come to the Imperial Academy to find me. You can learn the essence of my true teachings."

He had no other choice. Xie Lingyun and that old fellow Xie Xuan had said that this kid was under their protection, and he couldn't do anything to him.

But now he has been tricked by this kid, and he cannot let him go. He must not suffer any loss in his life. However, he has a problem in the academy. With this kid's ruthlessness, if he takes action, he may succeed.

As he spoke, the young master took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Chen: "This is the certificate. Find me when you arrive in the capital."

Zhang Chen looked at the young master in surprise. After wiping his hands, he took the document and said suspiciously, "Strange, you are so kind? Don't you nobles look down on the common people? Am I worthy of entering the imperial palace?"

"Of course you don't deserve it." The young gentleman said without hesitation: "But who told me to like you? You are still lucky!"

Zhang Chen's teeth chattered when he heard this, and he wished he could stuff his own Taojiji's hand into the other person's mouth. Who is he looking down on?

"So you are dog shit?" Zhang Chen replied seemingly unintentionally.

The young gentleman was speechless, his fists clenched in his sleeves.

"What if I refuse?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Can you? All the geniuses in the world will gather there. In the future, there will be a change that has not happened in thousands of years. It is said that Emperor Dasheng has discovered a unique mystery. Whoever participates in the research can be at the forefront of the times. If you don't go, you will be abandoned by the times in the future. Besides, don't you want to compete with the geniuses of the same generation? See how they are?" The young gentleman said as he took out a handful of green grass from his sleeve and started to eat it with helplessness on his face.
