Chapter 21 The Lack of Heaven and the Absence of One
"The sky is missing?"
"What the hell?"
Wang Chong had never heard of this name.
He shook his head and looked at the old man Zhong Lingxiu, waiting for the following.
Zhong Lingxiu didn't seem to expect Wang Chong to know, and continued with the topic:
"The so-called 'lack of heaven and retreat' is a kind of wandering in the Haotian world...... Well, let's call it 'Xeno'......"
'Xeno'...... Wang Chong knows a little better.
Non-human, non-demon, non-spirit, and mysterious species in the world can be called 'xenomorphs'.
Because we don't know their origin and development, 'xenomorphism' is a special kind of existence. Even the practitioners have not figured it out yet.
But anything that is not understood, cannot be traced back to the source, or is unknown, practitioners simply and rudely call it a 'different species'.
For example, Wang Chong's two yin differences are 'xenogeneous'.
Zhong Lingxiu coughed lightly and continued:
"The 'Heaven Lacks One' in the Haotian World can be said to be the ancestor of all 'xenomorphs'. Because it is not human, not demon, not spirit, and its source is unknown, it is extremely difficult to search!"
"'The sky lacks one', some are powerful and boundless, and some are weak and invisible. They wander in the Haotian world, and no one knows what they want to do. ”
Speaking of this, Zhong Lingxiu said in an accentuated tone, "You don't need to know what the 'Tian Lack of Escape' wants to do, you just need to know that Haotian strictly prohibits the 'Tian Lack of Escape' from appearing." If they find out, our monks must arrest and detain them!"
Wang Chong secretly raised his eyebrows, this sentence proves that Zhong Lingxiu is also a cultivator, but he doesn't know what the edict is.
The question is, where is the 'lack of heaven' and what does it have to do with me?
"What does Senior Zhong mean is that he has discovered the 'Heavenly Lack of Escape'?" Wang Chong asked.
Zhong Lingxiu nodded and pointed to Gu Mei, who was sitting quietly:
"Miss Gu Mei is a 'geisha' edict, and she is the best at gathering intelligence among the earthly monks. Three years ago, she received the revelation of Haotian, searched for 'Tianwu Yiyi', and came to Jiazhou. ”
Gu Mei bowed slightly to Wang Chong and said:
"The revelation I got from Haotian is the 'lack of heaven and one escape' wandering in Jiazhou, I love the wind and snow, especially poetry and songs. So I opened the Makifang Pavilion and set up the rules of the poem card to attract the arrival of this 'Heaven Lacking and Retreating'. ”
For a 'lack of heaven', Gu Mei actually looked for three years...... Well, this woman should pay attention in the future, her heart is very scary...... Wang Chong secretly labeled her.
"Until today, I will get what I want!" Gu Mei smiled at Wang Chongyan, "If it weren't for Mr. Wang's poem, which triggered this 'lack of heaven', I really didn't know that the little maid around me was possessed by it." ”
What? Wang Chong's scalp is numb, and the little girl is 'the sky is lacking'?
Zhong Lingxiu was also holding a loose white beard, and said with a smile:
"The old man occasionally felt it today, and came to the Ming Fang Pavilion to see the famous Gu Mei Oiran in Jiazhou. Unexpectedly, Wang Chenghuang's song of Jiangxue Five Laws actually triggered the breath of 'the sky is missing and the one is gone', so that the old man can find out. ”
Gu Mei smiled slightly: "When Senior Zhong entered the museum, I didn't know the identity of my predecessor. Later, the seniors communicated with me and explained the reason, and I suddenly realized. ”
Wang Chong understood what had happened again.
"Since Senior Zhong has captured the aura of 'Heaven Lacking and Escaped', do you want to arrest him immediately?
"It's gone. Zhong Lingxiu shook her head regretfully.
This old man has the temperament of a pastime, no wonder Monk Tanji wants to beat him...... Wang Chong spit out.
Zhong Lingxiu pulled a few white whiskers and sighed: "When the old man was writing a poem, he deliberately sprinkled ink spots, but he was still noticed by it and fled at that time. ”
"But the ink dots are the markers. Although it escaped, the old man could vaguely sense its traces. ”
Wang Chong didn't understand what Zhong Lingxiu was selling, kept his face calm, and continued to listen to his next words.
Zhong Lingxiu looked at Wang Chong and showed a strange smile:
"The sky is lacking, and with the old man's ability, he will definitely not be able to catch up. Only by setting a bait can it not stay away. The old man can also take the opportunity to detain him. ”
Needless to say, this bait must be Wang Chong......
Wang Chong said helplessly: "Then what should I do?"
"Hey, how do you know this bait is about you?" Zhong Lingxiu said in surprise.
Old man, don't sell it, ask for the point...... Wang Chong looked at Zhong Lingxiu expressionlessly, and he already had a small urge to beat him up in his heart.
"Jiazhou's 'lack of heaven', loves wind and snow the most, and likes poetry and songs. It will eventually devour the characters it fancies.
Your poems draw on its breath, and it bears cause and effect, so you become its food. ”
Hearing Zhong Lingxiu slowly say this explanation, Wang Chong's face suddenly turned black.
Gu Mei covered her cherry lips and smiled:
"Mr. Wang, don't be afraid, as long as you are in the Pavilion, you will be safe. ”
Zhong Lingxiu nodded and said:
"There are already ink dots on it, as long as it appears in the range of the Ming Fang Pavilion, the old man will be able to know it. So, in the meantime, you just stay in Makiyokan as bait. ”
"Then what if it doesn't come?" Wang Chong couldn't help but ask.
"According to Haotian's revelation, the devouring period of 'Heaven Lacks Escape One' is seven days, and there are no exceptions. So it will come to you, and for seven days, you will not be able to leave. ”
Rub! To stay at the Makifang Pavilion for seven days, and to be in danger of his life all the time? This is really painful and happy...... Wang Chong thought about it and said with a bitter face:
"Senior Zhong, it is less than nine days before the 'Moon Festival'. If I stay in the Makfang Pavilion and do not move, I will waste my merits. At that time, the status of the city god may not be guaranteed......"
Zhong Lingxiu was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and turned her face blankly:
"Haotian's will, 'Heaven is lacking' must be detained! If there is dereliction of duty, the person involved in the cause and effect will be destroyed! Is your position important? Or is Haotian's punishment important?"
"However, if you feel comfortable as bait, you will be rewarded when it is done. After Zhong Lingxiu finished playing the board, he immediately gave another candy and said with a smile:
"With Miss Gu Mei by your side, you have food, drink and fun in this Yingfang Pavilion. In this situation, what more could the husband ask for!"
When Gu Mei heard this, she didn't care, but just smiled at Wang Chong.
"Can I think about it?" Wang Chong frowned.
"Yes, I'll give you time to burn half a stick. Zhong Lingxiu nodded, then leaned back on the brocade couch, lowered her eyebrows, as if she was pretending to sleep.
Gu Mei swayed her figure and stood up, and walked to the jade coffee table next to her to cook tea.
Wang Chong calmed down, his consciousness moved, and he came into contact with the 'aura' of the spiritual space.
After the sun soared into a daze, he came to the 'Picture Scroll World'.
'Since that heaven lacks oneness and has cause and effect with me, I can see it!'
This is the reason why Wang Chong wants to think about it, rather than putting the life-threatening situation in the hands of others, it is better to control it himself.
He stood outside the world of scrolls, staring intently at the entire map.
Really!
An invisible and substantial 'thread' stretched from behind Wang Chong and reached an unknown mist.
At the end of this causal line, there is a 'drop of ink'.
The ink dots seem to be fleeing, flickering on the left and on the right.
But no matter how the ink dots escape, the causal lines are always connected and clearly visible.
Wang Chong breathed a sigh of relief again.
This also proves his guess that he can completely control the specific location of the 'Heaven Lacks Escape', and he doesn't have to wait for death.
With this satisfactory result, Wang Chong had leisure again and looked at the inside of the Yingfang Pavilion. Now that he has entered, the fog has been broken.
All the scope of the Pavilion is in front of Wang Chong's eyes.
And in the inner hall, the old man Zhong Lingxiu and his cause and effect are still there.
Hey?
Wang Chong looked at Gu Mei who was quietly cooking tea in the picture with a smile. In Gu Mei, there is also a causal line, which is connected to Wang Chong.
Oiran beauty, what is the obsession with me, the old man of the city god......
After inspecting the map and characters completely, Wang Chong made a decision in his heart and immediately withdrew from the world of the picture scroll and returned to reality.
"Senior Zhong, if I can help you find the direction of the 'Heavenly Void Escape', what reward will there be?" Wang Chong smiled.
"Huh??" Zhong Lingxiu opened her eyes and looked at Wang Chong in surprise.
Gu Mei's slender hand cooking tea at the moment also stiffened slightly, and she turned around.
"Do you want to find the Heavenly Void?" Zhong Lingxiu shook his head and said:
"No way!"
