Pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth—this is like pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth!
As Yang Zhen digested and absorbed the inherited text on the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, he secretly pondered that there was probably only one super handsome guy like him in the world who dared to play tricks in front of Half-Step Great Saint.
At this moment, Granny Gu glanced at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen with a playful expression, then said to him with a smile, "Boy, do you recognize the characters on this?"
Yang Zhen shook his head blankly, which made Granny Gu snort coldly and say, "Trying to gain fame and reputation!"
As she spoke, amidst the astonished gazes of Celestial Person assembled cultivators, Granny Gu slowly walked towards the restriction of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin.
Huo Lian hurriedly warned, " Granny Gu, be careful! This restriction is very troublesome. Once you're tainted, it'll be difficult to escape."
Even Half-Step Great Saint was so wary of the restrictions on the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin. The faces of the people around changed drastically, and they hurriedly took a few steps back, no longer daring to get so close.
Are you kidding me? This is a restriction that even a half- Half-Step Great Saint Half-Step Great Saint have difficulty escaping. Just how terrifying is it?
Although everyone was gathered here, no one dared to easily attempt to break the restriction.
On one hand, Half-Step Great Saint was guarding the place, not allowing anyone to set foot there; on the other hand, even Half-Step Great Saint couldn't break the restriction, so how could anyone dare to try?
So although they had heard that this restriction was terrifying, none of the people present had ever experienced just how terrifying it was.
Seeing Granny Gu finally walking towards the barrier, everyone was both terrified and tense.
Hearing Elder Huo Lian's words, Granny Gu chuckled and said, "It's alright. I do recognize a few characters from the Ancient Ale Tribe. Let's first see how these restrictions are set up. Once we find one end, we'll be able to figure out a way to break the restrictions here."
Everyone gasped, and all eyes turned to Granny Gu.
Even the Shameless Cat sidled up to Yang Zhen and asked, "Kid, are you really confident? This old woman seems very confident. If she really manages to break the code, out of all these people here, you'll be the first to die. Then it'll be my turn and Little Dao Addict's turn."
At this point, the Shameless Cat muttered to itself, then continued, "Of course, I'm thick-skinned and might be the last to die, but being the last to die is still dying. I'm still young, and I don't want to die like this."
Yang Zhen staggered upon hearing this, almost unable to resist slapping him. What kind of bastard couldn't he say? "Die, die, die!" sounded so awful.
Granny Gu seemed to have heard what the Shameless Cat said. She turned around and glanced at Yang Zhen, her face full of wrinkles and a strange smile that made Yang Zhen's scalp tingle. He chuckled and muttered, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb the senior's research on the restriction."
Upon hearing this, Granny Gu chuckled softly and slowly squatted down in front of the barrier.
For a moment, everyone on the Nine Dragons Sparrow Terrace held their breath, staring intently at Granny Gu, not daring to utter a sound.
Even Huo Lian and the others looked at Granny Gu with solemn expressions. Granny Gu was the person in the entire Great You Dynasty who had the most research on ancient inheritances. If even she could not break the restrictions here, then everyone could only wait for other Half-Step Great Saint powerhouses to arrive and discuss how to force their way through.
Yang Zhen looked at Granny Gu squatting on the ground, muttering to herself, her face full of strange expressions.
More and more words lit up, and the various sounds in Yang Zhen's mind became increasingly rapid. After a series of readings, even with Yang Zhen's terrifying talent, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.
After all, mastering a foreign language is not an easy thing.
Fortunately, Yang Zhen didn't need to read all the characters aloud; recognizing them was enough. During this time, Yang Zhen had been practically invisible, so he diligently memorized nearly 90% of the pronunciations. Suddenly, his mind went blank with a buzzing sound, as if some mysterious force had invaded his head. His head throbbed with pain, making Yang Zhen want to scratch it.
At this moment, Granny Gu suddenly stood up, burst into laughter, and said, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and their faces were filled with astonishment.
The three Half-Step Great Saint, including Huo Lian, also showed expressions of surprise. Anyone could see that Granny Gu had definitely figured something out. This was a good start, and perhaps Granny Gu alone could break the restriction.
Among the group of people before them, of the three Half-Step Great Saint who had the most say at this moment, Elder Huo Lian, with the most fiery temper, hurriedly asked, " Granny Gu, what did you see?"
Granny Gu laughed for a while before glancing at Yang Zhen and saying, "It's said that Senior Nine Dragons is a Literary Talent Qi individual, and now it seems the rumors are true. These restrictions are composed of the Ancient Ale Tribe script, formed by the primordial energy of heaven and earth."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen so angry that he almost rushed up and slapped Granny Gu on the back of the head.
This old guy squatted on the ground studying for ages, and this is all he came up with?
What a disappointment!
Yang Zhen sighed and shook his head imperceptibly; he was too disappointed.
Granny Gu's face was full of excitement as she continued, "Give me some time, and I will definitely be able to break all the restrictions here, and obtaining the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin's inheritance will be a piece of cake."
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped, their faces lighting up with ecstatic joy.
I'll give you time, plenty of time, so please untangle it quickly.
However, don't rush it. It's best to wait until the other Half-Step Great Saint arrive before lifting the restriction. This way, everyone will have a chance.
Only when all parties are present can one fish in troubled waters. This is better than the Great You Dynasty uncovering the secret of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin on its own, leaving the surrounding group without even a chance to get a taste of the spoils.
While Huo Lian and the others showed expressions of ecstasy, they then frowned and stared at Granny Gu, asking, "How long do you need?"
Granny Gu shook her head. "I'm not sure. These restrictions are far too complex. They seem to be assembled in a chaotic and disorderly manner, yet they subtly conform to the principles of music, just like... just like..."
At this point, Granny Gu's face turned solemn, and she hesitated, as if she didn't know how to describe it.
For a moment, everyone's face showed a tense expression.
Whether Granny Gu can figure out the key point is related to when the restriction will be lifted, or even whether it can be lifted at all. The others can lift the restriction before the other Half-Step Great Saint arrive, but the tense thing is whether Granny Gu can lift the restriction.
Seeing the hesitation on Granny Gu's face, everyone's hearts tightened, wishing they could open Granny Gu's mind and let her thoughts wander for a while!
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly poked his head out and tentatively asked Granny Gu, "Like... the poems of mortals?"
Upon hearing this, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Granny Gu, startling everyone.
The next moment, Granny Gu suddenly turned around, stared at Yang Zhen, and laughed loudly, saying, "That's right, it's mortal poetry! Yes, that's it! Senior Nine Dragons is incredibly talented, his genius is Literary Talent Qi. It's said that the Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions can blot out the sky and shake the earth, making people bow down in worship. These restrictions must be the same. To be able to come up with such an amazing array arrangement, he is truly a remarkable person."
Yang Zhen nodded humbly, then tentatively said, "How about... Granny Gu tries reading the text aloud? I'm very curious to see what kind of resonance the Literary Talent Qi and rhythm can evoke in the universe."
Cough cough!
Granny Gu gave Yang Zhen a deep look, the murderous intent in her eyes gradually fading, but she was still somewhat wary of him. Yang Zhen snorted coldly and said, "Stop with the sweet talk, but I might as well give it a try."
As she spoke, Granny Gu's face turned solemn as she stared at the words on the restriction, muttering to herself, "Strange, something seems amiss."
Huo Lian said somewhat impatiently, " Granny Gu, what's so strange about it? Say it out loud so everyone can hear it."
Granny Gu glanced at Huo Lian, coughed lightly, and began to chant in a melodious tone. "Dark Stone, Spring Green..."
"What a beautiful poem!"
Yang Zhen shouted and clapped his hands frantically, which startled everyone, who all looked at him with displeasure.
"The fragrance of plum blossoms wafts faintly, their branches reaching the sky; fish kiss the water beneath the stones, the stones respond to the verdant spring... Ah, this is a poem describing spring."
puff!
The Shameless Cat even spat out saliva, staring blankly at the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, muttering to itself, "Damn it, is Nine Dragons from the same village as Kid Yang? This isn't a poem describing spring, it's clearly an insult! Kid Yang mentioned it to me."
"What?" Granny Gu sneered, cursing, "You uncultured bastard, how can this be considered an insulting poem?"
"Try reading faster," the Shameless Cat said, pursing its lips.
Yang Zhen, standing to the side, was practically bursting with suffocation.
