Chapter 246 246. Earthquake
Because tomorrow is the day when the Metaphysics Exchange Conference officially begins, everyone came here today just to take a look at the situation and see if they can get any news.
But Jinjiu is obviously different from others. What she is more concerned about now is where to stay tonight.
"Hello, I would like to ask how to solve our accommodation problem tonight." Because he had just met Yuan Qing and Lin Cai, Jinjiu was already able to recognize the Xuanfang Sect's uniforms.
She randomly found a disciple of Xuanfang Sect and asked him directly.
The other party was stunned, obviously not expecting someone to ask such a question, but this person was not the type of person Yuan Qing was, so he still said in a good-tempered manner: "My friend, is this your first time attending the Metaphysics Exchange Conference?"
"Ah."
"I see... You must have received something before coming in, right?" The disciple of Xuanfang Sect said as he took out a wooden sign.
Jinjiu also took out the wooden sign that Lin Cai gave him.
"Is it this one?"
"Yes, that's it." She shook the wooden sign, then focused slightly, only to see that the wooden sign in his hand suddenly lit up. After a few seconds, the light condensed into a faint ray and went in one direction.
"This wooden sign is actually the assigned room key. Infuse it with mysterious power and the sign will show you the way."
"I see, thank you." Jin Jiu said, taking out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket: "It's just a small thing, play with it."
The disciple of Xuanfang Sect stared blankly at Jinjiu's leaving back, then looked at the unknown talisman paper in her hand. Although she didn't recognize what the talisman on it represented, she still folded it carefully and accepted it.
Nothing strange happened after resting for a night in Xuanfang Sect, but when Jinjiu woke up the next day, she felt her eyelids twitching.
Although they don't believe in the saying that the left eye twitching means good fortune while the right eye twitching means disaster, Jinjiu did have a bad feeling.
She frowned slightly and took out her own natal divination beads - this was the second time she used her own natal divination beads since she came to this world.
You have to know that her divination beads are from a mermaid king in another world. They have strong energy and she would never use this thing unless it is a big deal.
The first time I used divination, I got the result of "blood flow", and then someone came to claim my relationship with me.
Ever since that time, Jinjiu felt that she could no longer use her natal divination beads. As for the reason, she herself was not quite sure.
Fortunately, wizards like them are not limited to divination items. What she uses most is beads, so on the first day after coming to this world, she went to a shopping app to buy glass beads.
Now that she had a substitute, she put away her own natal divination beads.
Today, she felt that her natal divination beads seemed to be hinting at something, so she took it out.
Holding the divination beads in his hand, Jinjiu moved his lips slightly, and subtle syllables came out. Then the divination beads the size of longan suddenly lit up, and then gradually went out. Although it was only for a moment, Jinjiu seemed to have seen something.
Her face changed slightly and her brows furrowed as she recalled the scene she had just seen - carved beams and painted rafters, it was a very majestic gate. The temple stood on a high mountain and looked majestic and imposing from a distance.
For some reason, Jin Jiu felt that this place was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before. After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't come up with a result. She simply stopped thinking about it and stood up. Because today was the Metaphysics Exchange Conference, it was particularly lively outside.
"Hey, did you hear about this? It seems someone was struck by lightning while waiting in line yesterday!"
"Is this true? Who was struck by lightning? Why was he struck by lightning? Could it be another person who coveted Xuanfang Sect?"
"Hehe, you don't know this! In fact, when I heard the news just now, I had the same idea as you, but you would never have thought that the person who was struck by lightning yesterday was just cutting in line!"
"What? Cutting in line? Was he struck by lightning just for cutting in line? Are the thunderbolts so idle these days?"
Jin Jiu: “…”
Jinjiu overheard this conversation and curled her lips speechlessly. She looked up at the sky, then passed by the two people.
After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the front of Wanling Villa, which had been arranged very neatly and solemnly.
There is a very obvious platform in the middle. With the platform as the center, a competition point is set up in the other three directions except the back.
Jinjiu took a look and saw that facing the platform, the left side was a serious competition, that is, a fight, the right side was a competition of talisman strength, and opposite the platform was a competition of pharmaceutical strength.
In addition to these three evergreen competitions, this year's Metaphysics Exchange Conference has added several new competitions, such as beast taming, level breaking, formation, puppet...
It has to be said that even Jinjiu, who traveled from another world, felt a little eye-opening. After all, in other worlds, basically most people have some skills, unlike in this world, where among billions of people, less than one in ten thousand have any skills.
Precisely because there are so many people attending the meeting, it doesn't count as a big deal, so naturally no one would specially hold an exchange conference for this purpose, or even set up so many competition platforms.
Jinjiu watched the competition for a whole day and wandered around Wanling Villa, but she didn't see any outsiders. If it weren't for Tiandao's solemn promise, she would have quit long ago.
The metaphysics exchange conference lasted for seven days. There was no gain on the first day, nor on the second day. However, something unexpected happened on the third day. There was an earthquake nearby, and even the place where Wanling Villa was located shook.
However, the magnitude of the earthquake was not high, and the epicenter was not here, so it did not have much impact on everyone, so no one cared.
It was not until the fourth day that an earthquake occurred, and it was clearly more obvious than the day before. Some people already had a bad premonition, so many sects organized their disciples to patrol Wanling Villa, but still found nothing.
It can be clearly seen today that those who are discussing the earthquake today obviously account for half of the total number of people, which shows that most people have begun to suspect that this earthquake is not simple.
Come to think of it, there is a huge spirit gathering array beneath Wanling Villa. In addition to gathering spiritual energy, this array actually has another function, which is to stabilize the water and soil near the array, and even things deeper inside.
In other words, where there is a spirit gathering array, even if the surrounding area has collapsed, the place where the spirit gathering array is located is likely to be flat and intact.
Although there is indeed no damage caused by the earthquake in Wanling Villa, some people have discovered that some trees have suddenly withered in a place not far from Wanling Villa.
