C889 A place to hide!
Actually, when he decided to accept Gong Shu family's gift, Fang Shaobai's curiosity had also become very strong. Gong Shu family had saved up for many years to prepare a city that belonged to the Gong Shu family, and since it was called a city, then the smallest city would have to be at least three or four square kilometers.
Fang Shaobai was completely clueless about construction, so she was naturally unable to use her little guesswork to estimate exactly how many materials there were, but she reckoned that it would be a lot. Then the problem would come, the Gong Shu family only had this little space, so where should she place all the materials?
Fang Shaobai estimated in her heart that the Gong Shu family should have a very large piece of land that was specially made for use as a warehouse, and this land should not be in the Ancient Thunder City.
So Fang Shaobai wondered if there were any barren mountains or lands at the edge of Ancient Thunder City.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't come up with a solution.
He didn't want to think about it anymore, so he simply followed Gongshu Hui quietly.
However, Gongshu Hui actually did not bring him out of the Gong Shu family, but instead went straight to the Inner Academy, and then opened a secret door in front of Fang Shaobai in a fake mountain in the Inner Academy's garden.
Fang Shaobai was surprised, and could not help but ask, "Gongshu Family Lord, could it be that you all have already hollowed out a huge underground warehouse?"
It was rare for Gongshu Hui to ask something, but she unexpectedly answered mysteriously: "Young Master Fang, don't ask first, just follow me and you will know."
"Uh, alright then."
The more it was like this, the more Fang Shaobai's heart itched.
Could it be that the Gong Shu family had unknowingly hollowed out the underground and turned into an underground warehouse?
~ Impossible, if I want to dig out the underground and turn it into a material that can fit an entire city, then how big of a warehouse would this be? I would have to at least dig out half of the entire Ancient Thunder City.
Fang Shaobai did not believe it, but she could not think of other possibilities, so she could only hold back her curiosity and continue to follow Gongshu Hui.
There was actually one underground palace, but it was only a few hundred square meters. The few stone pillars that supported it seemed to be empty, and the only thing that attracted his attention was a stone door.
"Young Master Fang, we're here!"
Gongshu Hui said while smiling, and took out a fist-sized bead from her bosom. Fang Shaobai did not know what that bead was, but she had sensed a trace of a strange aura.
Gongshu Hui then took the pearl and walked to the side of the stone door, and with a unique rhythm, she patted the wall twenty-seven times, and a square plate suddenly appeared on the tidy and smooth stone wall. In the middle of the square plate, a round groove appeared, and Gongshu Hui placed the bead into the groove.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Sounds of a machine spring rang out, causing a series of echoes in the underground palace. The stone door slowly rose up, revealing a faint light, illuminating the underground palace until it was exceptionally bright.
When the entire stone door completely rose up, Fang Shaobai was stunned. He actually saw a spatial door.
F * ck!
Fang Shaobai was dumbstruck.
He immediately understood that the warehouse owned by the Gong Shu family was actually an alternate space.
This world cannot underestimate any family clan.
Who would have thought that a small family that relied on construction for a living without any martial arts ability would secretly grasp a foreign space?
The stone door opened, revealing itself to Fang Shaobai. This meant that the greatest secret of the Gong Shu family had been unreservedly revealed to Fang Shaobai.
It was almost impossible for other clans to have such a thing. Being a secret of a family was a matter of life and death for the clan. How could they allow it so easily? One had to know that it was difficult to know one's true self, and it was difficult to know one's limits just by drawing the skin of a tiger. Who could guarantee that the person they would trust the most would also treat them with their full trust?
Fang Shaobai smiled bitterly, should she say Gongshu Hui was innocent or should she say Chi Cheng? No matter what, he was moved by Gongshu Hui once again. This was a family that didn't have that many twists and turns in their heart.
"Young Master Fang, this alternate dimension was left behind by our ancestors. I don't know who did it, but after changing the patriarch of each generation in Gong Shu family, we will always be able to grasp the key to this alternate dimension."
Fang Shaobai nodded her head, "I'm really convinced, I really did not think that you all would have a different space, I think that this space is not just your Gong Shu family's warehouse, but more like a place to protect your lives."
Gongshu Hui praised: "Young Master Fang, your perception is indeed sharp, you have seen through everything in one go. That's right, because our Gong Shu family rarely focus on training, and our family is too weak, not knowing how to learn tricks and plots from others, the ancestors were worried that one day our family would be annihilated, leaving behind this alternate dimension for our Gong Shu family to retreat at the most dangerous time, because this place is safe, all the materials that we have accumulated have been collected here. "
Fang Shaobai sighed, "Then you are truly magnanimous, with such a big secret you dare to so easily let me know. If by any chance I had any evil intentions, wouldn't you all lose your final safe place of abode?"
Gongshu Hui was startled, and said embarrassedly: "Young Master Fang, I wasn't thinking about it too much, I just think that since Young Master Fang believes in us, and is even willing to give us the task of building an entire world, then we should also believe in you."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Bring me in to take a look. I'm really curious about the amount of materials you have in this alternate space."
Following that, Gongshu Hui walked in front and passed through the Space Gate with Fang Shaobai. After passing through, Fang Shaobai couldn't help but exclaim in shock due to the different dimensions.
He realised that this alternate dimension was really huge, even larger than Ancient Thunder City. It was at least twenty square kilometers. In comparison, the current space could only be considered a small nest.
In addition, the light of the blue sky and white clouds in the alternate space was soft and refreshing. The heaven and earth origin energy in this alternate space was even stronger than that of the external world.
Looking at it, all kinds of building materials were piled up one after another, like a mountain rising and falling, with a frightening amount of materials.
A little further away, there was actually a group of buildings formed by four large manors. They looked like a small city situated outside the world, but they did not feel lonely at all. Because Fang Shaobai could actually see some figures from afar.
"Gongshu Family Lord, there's actually someone inside?"
Gongshu Hui said: "Yes, we have long realized the lack of martial arts cultivation, and that our Gong Shu family is not safe, at any time we may get into trouble and be annihilated. Especially a hundred years ago, because our Gong Shu family had helped people build some dungeon's secret rooms, many people were silenced and killed. Because of that, the patriarch felt heartbroken and decided to move a portion of the people here as a precaution … "
Fang Shaobai nodded her head in agreement. It seemed that Gong Shu family was not an idiot, and knew that eggs were not kept in the same basket.
With Gong Shu family's strength, if there really was a chance, how would she even have the time to move to a different space? She wanted to split the clan into two and move some people to a different space. If anything were to happen to them, they wouldn't be so bad as to leave behind a little incense.
"Then how many Gongshu communist s are there now?"
"Our Gongshu Family has a total of three hundred and seventy-six people. One hundred and sixty-six people live outside and two hundred and ten live in this place."
"Hehe, looks like you know how to be afraid. There are actually a lot more clansmen here than outside."
"Uh, hehe."
"Enough, I don't have any intention of making fun of you. If it was me, I would probably be even more afraid than you. I wish I could move 90% of my clansmen here." You should tell me about the situation here. "
The two of them spoke as they walked towards the building.
Unknowingly, he had already walked to the side of the buildings. Along the way, Fang Shaobai gained some understanding of the Gongshu Family's situation. In general, although the current Gongshu Family was still obsessed with architecture, he was aware of the drawbacks of having a weak start in the martial way, and thus followed this kind of strategy of half-hiding from the world.
When Gongshu Hui had long decided to let the Gongshu Family's clansmen follow him into the Tiangong Secret Realm, she had also made some considerations in the area of martial arts.
The Gongshu Family also wanted to see if they could get some martial arts inheritances after entering the Tiangong Secret Realm. Although they were not focused on martial arts, the Heavenly Bow Secret Realm was left behind by their ancestors, so if there really was a martial arts legacy left behind by the Venerable Tian Gong, they would not reject it.
Because he was worried that he would run into other people inside the Tiangong Secret Realm, Gongshu Hui had already decided to send nine more people, other than Gongshu fang, to go in at the same time. This was because the clan members seldom appeared, even if they met other people, they would not be able to recognize the Gongshu communist, and this would prevent the Gong Shu family from getting angry.
Fang Shaobai could be considered to have tacitly agreed to all of these considerations.
On the way there, he discovered many surprises. A portion of the people in Gong Shu family would also find living in alternate spaces boring, but other than studying their architectural skills, they also planted quite a few things in alternate spaces.
These items included the food they needed as well as some spiritual medicines. There were some spiritual medicines that were actually not found in the square world, and they were even growing quite well.
"Yi, what's that?"
Fang Shaobai suddenly saw a pile of items that were clearly different from other building materials. The pile of items was evidently chaotic and clearly not as orderly as the other materials.
"Oh, those are the leftover bits and pieces from our construction. Originally, we wanted to see if we could reforge some of the materials to avoid wastage, but the project was too big, and it would be difficult for our people to complete it."
"Oh, so it's like that, then give these things to me," Fang Shaobai's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a delicious Taotie.2
