Chapter 464 Gong Ziyu's 3-Domain Trial
Bai Jiu stepped into the palace gate carefully, his heart full of novelty and nervousness. This was the first time in his life that he came to this mysterious and solemn place!
In the past, although he had come to the palace gate with his brother Xiao Zhuo, he had only played with Yinglei in the town at the foot of the mountain. It was definitely the first time for him to walk into the palace gate in a formal manner like this.
At the same time, Gong Ziyu was making final preparations to go to the back mountain today to start the first three-domain trial in his life.
He was wearing a heavy cloak and wrapped himself tightly, as if the cloak could give him endless strength and courage.
Beside him, Gong Zishang leaned on Jin Fan like a boneless person. Jin Fan raised his hands high, glared at Gong Ziyu, and signaled him to quickly take Gong Zishang away!
Not far away, Gong Ziyu saw Gong Yuanzheng walking slowly towards them. Speaking of Gong Yuanzheng, it really gave Gong Ziyu a headache.
The relationship between the two of them was simply terrible, and almost every time they met, they would have a fierce argument or even a fight. However, the ending was often that both of them were dragged to the elders' house to be reprimanded.
Now there are outsiders in the palace, and there are also treacherous and cunning spies hiding in the dark, watching covetously. So, no matter what, even if it's just for show, they have to maintain superficial harmony.
At this moment, at the gate of the back mountain, Gong Ziyu stood quietly. Gong Zishang beside him whispered something, while Jin Fan looked around from time to time, paying attention to the movements around him.
Gong Ziyu was also holding a small cloth package in his hand, which might be filled with important items needed for this trial. The sunlight fell on them, reflecting their resolute faces and firm eyes.
"Gong Ziyu, after this separation, I really don't know when I can see you again. Your sister may have married and had children, but you are still trapped in a corner and can't get out!" Gong Zishang was seen wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes in a pretentious manner, waving his handkerchief exaggeratedly. His appearance was really ridiculous.
Gong Ziyu knew very well that Gong Zishang never said anything nice, so he retorted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense here! Am I such a bad person?"
Gong Zishang continued to sob in a pretentious manner, but her makeup on her delicate face was still flawless, without even a trace of tears.
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she stopped, put down her sleeves, rolled her eyes at Gong Ziyu, and ridiculed her mercilessly.
"Humph, think about it carefully! With your mediocre kung fu and your almost imperceptible internal strength, do you really want to be as powerful as Gong Shangjiao and successfully pass the three-realm trial in just one month?"
At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from not far away: "Yo! According to what you said, just standing here and waiting, we can easily pass the three-realm trial?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Gong Yuanzheng leading Jin Fuzheng slowly walking towards them.
As soon as he appeared, the first thing he said was a sarcastic ridicule towards Gong Ziyu. "Humph! How dare you say you can be compared with my brother? That's just wishful thinking!" Gong Yuanzheng mocked with disdain.
"Gong Yuanzheng, how can you talk like that? I am your brother after all!" Gong Ziyu asked angrily with his eyes wide open.
However, Gong Yuanzheng's words pierced Gong Ziyu's heart like a sharp sword, instantly breaking down his psychological defenses.
Gong Ziyu was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he shouted with gnashing teeth: "What exactly do you want to do here? Did you come here just to laugh at me?"
"I'm telling you clearly, Gong Yuanzheng, don't even think about succeeding! I won't leave you even a crack in the door, let alone a window! Even if it's a rat hole, I will fill it up tightly without mercy!"
"Haha! Look at your tattered and unrepairable Yu Palace. How could rats come here? You have to leave two grains of rice for rats that come. But it's possible!" Gong Yuanzheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a scornful smile, and continued to sneer.
Hearing this, Gong Ziyu couldn't help but think to himself: Sometimes, he even began to wonder, if Gong Yuanzheng accidentally licked his lips while sleeping in the middle of the night, would he be awakened by the poison? Although he shouldn't be poisoned to death directly, after all, he was a little poison kid who studied poisons all day long, but it still made people a little worried.
"You...you've gone too far!" Gong Ziyu was furious. He pointed his finger at Gong Yuanzheng and was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"Gong Yuanzheng! Don't get carried away! As the saying goes, things change over time! Just open your eyes and watch carefully. One day, I will make you look at me with new eyes!" Gong Ziyu suppressed his anger, held his head high, and said in a decisive tone.
"Hahahahaha!"
"You! The left half is filled with wine, and the right half is filled with women's stuff! And you're even imitating others to speak harshly?"
Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Gong Ziyu pretending to be threatening him.
"Gong Ziyu, can you please stand up for yourself? Stop bringing shame to your Yugong! No one will clean up the mess for you now! Back then, at least you had your brother to support Yugong and save face, but now, all that's left is endless shame!" Gong Zishang said as she raised her size 40 feet and stomped hard on Gong Ziyu's feet, crushing them hard.
Gong Ziyu grimaced in pain, and the expression on his face instantly became distorted.
But since Gong Yuanzheng was watching right next to him, he could only grit his teeth, endure the severe pain, and desperately pull his foot back from under Gong Zishang's big feet.
Despite this, the piercing pain still caused a layer of fine beads of sweat to appear on his forehead.
"This is a surprise my brother prepared specially for you!" Gong Yuanzheng's sudden words scared Gong Ziyu.
He just winked at Jin Fu beside him, and Jin Fu nodded knowingly. Then he took out a seemingly ordinary sandalwood box from his arms, which was actually a very ordinary box. He put a thick package in it and handed it to Gong Ziyu.
Gong Ziyu looked at Jin Fan with suspicion, secretly wondering what was in the box and which package, which looked very thick, was held by Jin Fan.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally reached out his hand tremblingly and took the roughly made sandalwood box with trepidation.
When he slowly opened the lid of the box, he was surprised to find several silver bills with a face value of fifty taels each and several small and exquisite medicine bottles neatly arranged inside.
"These medicine bottles are easy to understand. They must be used to treat injuries and illnesses. But... what do these silver bills mean?" Gong Ziyu took out the silver bills from the box with a puzzled look on his face, and then turned his gaze to Gong Yuanzheng, as if he wanted to get a reasonable explanation from the other party.
"My brother said that the back mountain is not as peaceful and quiet as the front mountain. It is full of unknowns and dangers."
"These banknotes are specially reserved for you. You can take them to the kitchen chefs in the back mountain and ask them to make more hot meals for you."
"After all, only when you are well fed and well-drinking can you have enough energy to deal with the trials in the back mountains!"
"And this medicine bottle is used to protect your life. If you encounter any unexpected events on the way, such as being injured or sick, the medicine in it may be able to save your life."
Gong Yuanzheng, who was not yet an adult, had never been to the mysterious back mountain. Back then, after Gong Shangjiao returned from the back mountain after completing the trial, he did not tell the young Gong Yuanzheng too much about what he had experienced in the back mountain.
However, Gong Yuanzheng accidentally heard Zhao Yuanzhou mention the situation in the back mountain.
According to Zhao Yuanzhou, the back mountain area is vast and empty, and there is a towering snow-capped mountain standing in the middle of it.
The snow on that snowy mountain never melts all year round and it is extremely cold. Looking around, it is almost difficult to detect any signs of human activity.
Then, combined with the information that Gong Shangjiao inadvertently revealed, Gong Yuanzheng deliberately added silver bills and medicine bottles to the things prepared by Gong Shangjiao.
In this way, Gong Ziyu can use the money to buy his favorite food and ask the chefs in the back mountain to cook it carefully for him.
In addition, Gong Yuanzheng took into consideration that Gong Ziyu has always been very afraid of cold, and now he was suddenly asked to go to such a cold place as the snowy mountains, which was simply a torture for him.
Therefore, Gong Yuanzheng put a small amount of anti-cold medicine into the medicine bottle, hoping that these medicines could help Gong Ziyu resist the severe cold of the snow-capped mountains and prevent him from suffering or even endangering his life due to his inability to adapt to the harsh environment.
Although he hated Gong Ziyu from the bottom of his heart, whenever they had disputes or fights in the past, he would deliberately avoid attacking vital parts that might endanger her life.
The reason is that, after all, they are from the same ancestor, live together every day, and live together in this world. They see each other every day.
Moreover, even if they disliked each other, they had to take each other's feelings into consideration, especially to allow Gong Ziyu to retain some dignity and decency in front of the many servants and guards.
"Thank you very much, Brother Shangjiao!" Gong Ziyu happily put away the exquisite sandalwood box carefully.
For a long time, he always felt that his second brother had a deep hatred for him. Therefore, whenever he met his second brother, he would always see that arrogant, conceited and contemptuous face.
However, as Gong Zishang said, the second brother's face was like a lifeless dead fish, and there seemed to be no obvious changes in his expression at any time. But who would have thought? It turned out that the second brother cared so much about every brother and sister in the palace in his heart!
