Chen Zimeng and Wan Jingfei followed Yan Lao slowly on the road, as if they were taking a walk.

Chen Zimeng glanced at Yan Lao in front of him and didn't say anything.

After Wan Jingfei knew that Yan Lao was a knot, he changed the previous old man's title, and called one old man after another very kindly, and Han Ying'er was extremely speechless.

But speechless is speechless, Han Ying'er can't understand why Chen Zimeng and Gu Hefan did it, and in such a situation, why Wan Jingfei rushed forward without hesitation.

You must know that they are in the Zhangchu clan, and there are too many people here who have cultivated higher than them.

Aren't they afraid?

She was very strange, looking at Wan Jingfei's eyes without the previous disdain, but with a trace of respect.

She could see that Wan Jingfei chose to stand up only because of Chen Zimeng.

At the same time, Han Yinger was deeply touched by what Chen Zimeng said to her.

Forbearance is the most useless, only a tough counterattack will make others dare not bully themselves and cannot deprive themselves of everything they want to protect.

Han Ying'er decided that she would never choose to compromise because of who her opponent was, since she decided to let the Mu family shine again, then she had to be a person who made others dare not bully.

Han Ying'er thought silently, but Chen Zimeng looked around, he wrote down the places he walked one by one, this is what he needs to do.

From time to time, someone looked at them with curiosity in their eyes.

Chen Zimeng knew that because of the incident in the afternoon, perhaps they had already become famous in this chapter of the Chu clan.

By the time Chen Zimeng and the others walked to Yan Lao's residence, it was already dark, and Yan Lao was very strange to take them around, and they couldn't use the flying technique, they were walking from beginning to end.

Chen Zimeng is nothing, this afternoon, he saw many places on the periphery of the Zhangchu clan very clearly.

Wan Jingfei complimented Yan Lao all the way, but he never stopped, Yan Lao was very useful, listening to Wan Jingfei's compliment, his face was full of smiles.

Han Ying'er was a little impatient, but looking at the old man in front of her, there was only gratitude in her eyes, so she didn't say anything.

In the Zhangchu clan, Yan Lao does not belong to any line, but Yan Lao is very respected, and the elders of the clan, no matter which line, are very polite to Yan Lao.

When the wood department was almost disbanded, it was Yan Lao who spoke, which allowed the wood department to be retained.

I don't know what the reason is, even Han Ying'er doesn't know, she asked the only two remaining Jiedan monks in the wood department, but she was told that Yan Lao's identity was a secret.

In the clan, everyone knows and respects Yan Lao.

Yan Lao has been staying on the periphery of the tribe, doing some miscellaneous things, and his cultivation has always been in the late stage of foundation building on weekdays, and from time to time it will change to the middle stage of foundation building, which makes people feel very strange.

Someone asked why, but didn't get an answer.

Over time, no one asked.

Walking to the attic where Yan Lao lived, and walking in, Chen Zimeng saw a book wrapped in black leather on the stone table in the courtyard.

Yan Lao walked over, took the book in his hand, and walked towards the house, which was full of stars.

Entering the house, Yan Lao stretched out his hand and pulled over a long table, and Wan Jingfei stepped forward to help very enthusiastically.

"Come, come, all sit. ”

With a greeting, Yan Lao sat on a chair, his face wrinkled.

"Elder Yan, what happened today?"

Chen Zimeng sat down, looked at Yan Lao and asked.

"Oh, don't worry, it's a small thing, it won't affect the two of you. ”

"Really?" Wan Jingfei grinned and lay on the chair beside Yan Lao.

glared at Wan Jingfei angrily, "It's okay what the old man said, that's okay." ”

"That's good!" Thinking of what he did today, Wan Jingfei was surprised, and he didn't have any trouble at all.

"Of course there won't be trouble, at least Yutan won't trouble you. Yan Lao said lightly.

Stunned for a moment, Wan Jingfei smiled and said, "Then I'm not afraid, I'm really not afraid of anyone during the foundation building period!"

"Yo, what's the matter, invincible at the same level!"

Wan Jingfei confidently unfolded the folding fan, smiled slightly, and nodded, "It's not invincible at the same level, my swordsmanship is outstanding, no one is afraid!"

Han Ying'er was stunned for a moment and looked at Wan Jingfei, "Are you a sword cultivator?"

With a tactful smile, Wan Jingfei shook his head, "No, I didn't succeed in breaking the white vein." ”

Yan Lao snorted lightly and said with a smile, "You kid can't do this bone, sword cultivation, I think you're still forgetting!haha!"

Chen Zimeng spoke, "What is the situation of the Southern Wilderness tribe facing foreign monks?"

"Let me tell you that!" Han Ying'er said slowly.

"In the Southern Wilderness, because of various problems, there are often wars between tribes, and a hundred years ago, there was even a tribal war that swept the entire Southern Wilderness, and it lasted for a whole hundred years. ”

"Later, when the war ended, the extinct tribes were unknown, and the number of children of each tribe was very small, and the smallest tribe was even less than a hundred. ”

"But at this time, some local tribal wars will break out from time to time, so in order to protect their own people, and to deal with the war, some tribes began to recruit foreign monks to join their tribe and give them generous rewards, which is worship. ”

Speaking of this, Han Ying'er glanced at Chen Zimeng suspiciously and asked, "Didn't you know about the offering before you came?" 17

"We came from Zhongzhou, and we didn't know it, but we just heard that there was such a choice point for casual cultivation, so we came. ”

Chen Zimeng replied slowly, these words were true, he did hear some words about the offering on the road, and at that time in Zhang Chucheng, Chen Zimeng also temporarily asked Han Ying'er to ask for the position of worship.

The world is wonderful, and it just so happens that the Zhang Chu clan needs to be worshipped at this time, and they are recruiting foreign monks on a large scale, and Chen Zimeng also happened to meet it.

Han Ying'er nodded, and when she heard Chen Zimeng say that she was from Zhongzhou, she was already surprised.

Every year, there will always be many monks from other places in the Southern Wilderness entering, either leaving the land, or Zhongzhou, and sometimes there will be powerful monks from the distant Tianhe Sea, who do not know the specific reason for the worship, which is not surprising.

Yan Lao didn't know when, he took out the book and looked at it carefully, Chen Zimeng looked up, the cover of the book did not indicate the title of the book, it was wrapped in black leather, and it looked very old.

"Elder Yan, can the kid say a reluctant request?"

Yan Lao raised his head, and then smiled, "But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"The kid wants your technique to disguise your cultivation. ”

Chen Zimeng wanted this kind of technique very much, because many times, it was not a bad thing to cover it up and cultivate.

Wan Jingfei also nodded violently and looked at Yan Lao, his eyes full of hope.

Yan Lao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"This is the first time, someone wants to hide the seven techniques of decay, you really want to think about it!"

"Mask the Seven Techniques? Yan Lao, I don't know if I can grant it to the kid?"

"Yes, it's not a very powerful Dao spell, it's just a small trick. ”

Smiling, Yan Lao nodded, the Seven Concealment Techniques are not precious, they can be taught to others.

Immediately, Yan Lao took out a jade tube, close it to the center of his eyebrows and gently closed his eyes, and after a while, the jade tube glowed.

Yan Lao opened his eyes, put the jade cylinder in his hand, held it with both hands, and rubbed it gently, and the jade cylinder turned into two parts, one handed to Chen Zimeng and the other to Wan Jingfei.

Chen Zimeng accepted it with a smile, and didn't rush to see it, he had a wonderful use for the Seven Concealment Technique, but not here.

Han Ying'er glanced at Chen Zimeng very strangely and asked, "Is this useful?"

Nodding with a smile, Chen Zimeng replied very affirmatively, "It's very useful!"

Han Ying'er was about to say something, but Yan Lao waved his hand, "Shadow girl, let's talk about you!"

After being stunned for a moment, Han Ying'er turned her head to look at Yan Lao, "Say me?"

"You don't need to take it too seriously, the old man assures you that he won't let the wood department be disbanded, you can rest assured, right?"

"What?," Chen Zimeng was very strange, in the conversation between Han Ying'er and Gu Hefan today, he had also heard the words of the dissolution of the wood system.

Han Ying'er looked very depressed, bowed her head and was silent, stood up for a long time and bowed to Yan Lao.

"Shadow knows, thank you Grandpa Yan!"

"Well, you can go back! In the future, don't always look sad and smile more. ”

Han Ying'er smiled when she heard this, then responded, turned around, looked at Chen Zimeng and whispered thank you, with deep meaning in her eyes, and then walked towards the door.

Chen Zimeng smiled, in response, and watched Han Ying'er walk out of the attic and disappear into the night.

"You two, just stay here, there are still a lot of rooms upstairs, tomorrow, come with me to the Offering Pavilion, go through a ceremony, and receive your Offering Token. ”

Nodding, Chen Zimeng remembered something, and then asked, "Elder Yan, the kid still has a question, the Southern Wilderness tribe recruits so many foreign monks, so they are not afraid of being anti-guest, and in the end they will harm their own family?"

Haha laughing, Yan Lao stood up, "You think so, a lot, many people are really confused, a large number of offerings, many of them are casual cultivation, scattered cultivation, meat and vegetarian are not taboo, aren't we afraid that those individuals have other evil intentions?"

"Actually, it's scared, but we don't have a way to deal with it, and the spirit of the Southern Wilderness tribe is the way to deal with it. ”

"Clan spirits?"

Yan Lao looked at Chen Zimeng, who was full of humility and seeking advice, and then became interested, sat down again, and spoke slowly.

"Southern Wilderness, 100,000 miles of mountain ranges, there are countless heaven and earth beasts between the mountains, among them, there are a large number of strange beasts left over from ancient times, or contain the blood of ancient beasts, they are well-deserved masters in the mountains and rivers of the Southern Wilderness, and they are the masters of this piece of heaven and earth. ”

"Alien beasts, grow naturally, are nurtured by heaven and earth, and they are the closest to nature, they can transform energy from heaven and earth, they form a system of their own, seeking the way of advancement, different from the power of human cultivation, some of them are naturally powerful. ”

"Every strange beast has a powerful power, in the Southern Wilderness, the footprints of the strange beasts are all over the 100,000 mountains and rivers, so every tribe in the Southern Wilderness will go to find those alien beasts that can accept the human race, sign a contract with them, and let them be the clan spirits of their own tribe. ”

"Alien beasts sign contracts with humans, accept the offerings of the human race, and protect the human race at the same time, and in foreign wars, the strength of the clan spirit is sometimes very crucial. ”

"The clan spirit is the alien beast in the southern wilderness, but there is one thing, these are alien beasts that are willing to accept human beings, and only if they are willing to accept the human race, can the alien beast receive the power of the human race's faith and become the clan spirit. ”

After Yan Lao finished speaking, he looked at Chen Zimeng quietly.

Chen Zimeng was silent, Wan Jingfei was also silent on the side, and he didn't know anything about the clan spirit.

After a long time, Chen Zimeng suddenly asked, "Then what kind of power is the clan spirit that has received the power of human faith? How can this power prevent foreign monks from turning against the guest and threatening the tribe?"

"Well, you are from Zhongzhou, and you don't know that in the Southern Wilderness, there is a unique power, that is, telekinesis, which is a kind of origin. ”

"The power of the Origin?"

Chen Zimeng's heart moved slightly, the origin of heaven and earth he knew was only one mana, or because he was robbed.

"Yes, the power of the Origin!"
