Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 39: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky (Part 2)
After two days and two nights of deep exploration in the Star-Seeking Tower, Tang Zheng finally let out a long sigh of relief as the sun was about to rise at dawn on the third day.
There was already silence in the Sushiwenxing Tower, and it was estimated that there were not many people left.
He traveled through mountains, grasslands, and rivers, and stepped into one star eye after another. Except for meeting the star master in the Tianfu star eye, he just watched a bunch of CGs in the other star eyes, and then received some instructions and rewards.
But even so, he felt noticeably tired.
Only two hours had passed outside, but in the Star Tower, forty-eight hours had actually passed.
Even though Tang Zheng had been baptized by the dungeons in the previous life's game and his physical strength had been trained to a level that was incomparable to that of ordinary people, the repeated consumption of star power, the battle of wits and courage in the eyes of each star, and the careful consideration of words consumed much more than a dungeon in the previous life.
After all, if the whole team is wiped out in a dungeon, they can come back again, but the Star-Seeking Tower is an opportunity that only comes once in a warrior's lifetime.
"Is it almost time?" Tang Zheng looked at the sky. It was almost time for the Su Shi Xing Tower to close.
Most warriors will leave the Star-Questioning Tower after asking questions about the stars. It is rare for them to stay until the end. There are only a few dozen warriors who are "detained" every year.
Tang Zheng never thought that he was one of them.
The night before dawn seems particularly quiet.
He counted his gains in the Star-Seeking Tower, from the changes in his body to the reserves of three-star power, as well as various things like the gloves of the Star Lord Lianzhen, the little fur ball bomb, or martial arts, notes and the like, which were really not a small amount.
Some star masters give more specific things, like weapons and notes, while others are more vague and their uses cannot be seen for the time being, like the sixty-two questions given by the star master Tianji.
Tang was waiting for the sun to rise; it was almost time to leave the tower.
Thinking back to what happened in the Star Eye of Tianfu Star just now, it was quite funny that the Star Lord stopped asking about the half-demon cultivation method as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tang Zheng counted and found that he had asked Xing twelve times.
Does this count as breaking some world record or something?
If he could go down in history, then probably everyone in the world would know who Tang Zheng is.
"Hey, I feel a little excited when I think about it." Tang Zheng was sitting on a ferry, passing through a village with smoke rising from chimneys. Only then did he feel like appreciating the scenery in the Sushiwenxing Tower.
The time waiting to exit the tower was relaxing and enjoyable, so the scenery along the way seemed to be much more beautiful than when we came in.
This place is picturesque and peaceful, like a paradise.
The scholar on the river bank was folding willow branches in his hands, walking slowly with his servant boy carrying a basket of books on his back. It reminded Tang Zheng of his first meeting with Tian Meng when he first arrived in Xingyao Continent. The children jumping around in the village reminded him of Azhi and Ghost Grandpa. The girls sitting by the river beating clothes seemed to bring him back to Tangjiabao.
Tang Zheng did not disturb them, because the Star-Seeking Tower was a real place, which meant that the villages and people inside it were real ...
He was just passing through their lives, an outsider, so there was no need to disturb him if it was not necessary.
The boat drifted down the river, gradually getting farther away from the village...
Soon, Tang Zheng saw a person sitting on a boat drinking wine at the place where the water and sky met. As soon as his eyes drifted over, the boatman laughed and said, "That's Grandpa Tiantong. You can't see him at other times. He only appears during these few days every year. Look, he comes to the river to fish every morning before dawn."
"Oh, ice cream cone..." Tang Zheng was really about to laugh, but when he said these two words, he stopped.
Grandpa Tiantong!
Tang Zheng looked at the sky with some suspicion.
The sun is about to rise, and it is almost time to leave the Star-Seeking Tower. Could it be that it is not over yet?
The thirteenth star lord appeared in front of him?
It shouldn't be like this!
Generally speaking, it is difficult to see the Star Master if you are not a Star Favored One, and he has determined that he is a natural Star Favored One. Unless he encounters special situations like Lian Zhen, Qi Sha, and Tian Fu, he should only be able to see the CG in the Star Eyes and at most exchange a few words with him from a distance.
However, the boatman did call the old man "Grandpa Tiantong".
Tang Zheng was still looking over there when he saw "Grandpa Tiantong" waving at him.
“Little boy, come here, you have a chance today.” The old man smiled with wrinkles on his face.
"It sounds like a fortune-telling swindler who sets up a stall in front of a temple..." Tang Zheng was a little dissatisfied with the appearance of this Tiantong Star Lord. "Forget it, you have the ice cream cone, and I have the sundae. Let's just get over it..."
He waved his hand and asked the boatman to come closer.
The "Grandpa Tiantong" smiled and looked at Tang Zheng: "Little friend, where are you from and where are you going?"
"..." Because of his identity as the "suspected master of Tiantong Star", Tang Zheng did not utter the word "guess".
"You don't know? Then let me tell you." The "Grandpa Tiantong" waved his hand with a smile, "Go upstream from this river mouth, and you will see a mountain. That mountain is the mountain in the middle of the Sushiwenxing Tower. That must be the place you want to go..."
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction the old man pointed, but there was only fog.
The old man said that the mountain is right in the center of the Sushiwenxing Tower?
middle……
"Why should I go there?" Tang Zheng asked.
“Oh, because it will be fun if you go there…” The old man smiled and shook the fishing rod, pulling up a big fish.
The boatman uttered “Oh” twice and looked at the big fish with shining eyes.
The old man threw the fish to the boatman and said, "It is a good omen for us to meet today, so I give it to you."
The boatman immediately thanked him profusely.
"Send him away." The old man smiled, stretched out his hand to push the water surface, and went downstream.
Tang Zheng was left standing on the boat, staring at the boatman in confusion.
There was no CG and nothing was gained. Tang Zheng was not sure whether the person he had just met was the Lord of Tiantong Star.
Tiantong is the main star that almost every warrior must consider introducing after reaching five stars, because it determines the luck and opportunity of a warrior, and opportunity determines whether one can go further after reaching seven stars.
"Then... I'll take you there?" The boatman asked Tang Zheng sincerely, looking at the fresh fish jumping in the fish basket.
Tang Zheng looked at the sky, then looked at the distance to the "Zhengzhong Mountain".
It would probably be too late to row there against the current.
The Su Shi Wen Xing Tower is about to close. Even if he has great "opportunities", if he cannot reach the place pointed out by the Tian Tong Star Lord, it will be a wasted opportunity.
"A place that can only be reached after the guidance of the Tiantong Star Lord means that I shouldn't have gone there." Tang Zheng also understood clearly, "However, I have already been to the thirteen star eyes. It is always a bad idea to leave a regret, right? Let's go!"
The boatman was about to row the boat, but Tang Zheng stopped him.
call……
His star power quickly flowed downwards, and his footwork and martial arts skills were activated. He jumped directly into the water and rushed towards the mountain in the upstream direction.
"It's already this late. I don't want to get any more benefits. I'll just go and take a look at the Purple Star and see what kind of star eye it is. It will be worth the trip..."
