Chapter 13: Xiao Lan's Secret
"Qin'er, don't worry, maybe he's just going out to do something. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Xiao Ningqiu comforted, but Qin Ji became more anxious, "No, I can't feel his breath at all, so he suddenly disappeared out of thin air." ā
"Qin'er, now the top priority should be to find Mu Bai first, as for the Yan Nai you said, do you think he is heavier than Mu Bai?" Xiao Ningqiu looked at Qin Ji calmly.
After Yan Nai successfully crossed back, Qin Ji seemed to immediately notice his disappearance, she took Yingcao to search the entire Spirit City, but she couldn't find any trace of him, and she immediately found Xiao Ningqiu with a faint uneasiness in her heart, hoping to get some news from him.
"These are two different things! He has Mu Bai's spiritual power in him, and I have to figure out why! What does he have to do with Mu Bai, the most important thing is that a person can't just disappear for no reason! Qin Ji frowned slightly and said, the reason why she appeared in Lingcheng was entirely to track down Yan Nai, and now this person has disappeared for no reason.
Xiao Ningqiu looked at Qin Ji without saying a word, and after a long time, he sighed lightly, and said slowly as if he had made up his mind, "That's it, I'll go to him, but there's no guarantee that I can find it, after all, I want to find Huangfu Mubai more than him, you go back first, I'll inform you if there's news." ā
"Thank you......" Qin Ji thanked her softly, then turned to leave, Xiao Ningqiu's eyes did not take her off her until she disappeared from view.
"Ancestor." Not long after Qin Ji left, Xiao Lan stood outside the door respectfully, "Come in." Xiao Ningqiu said softly.
"Did you find it?" Xiao Ningqiu rubbed his temples and asked a little weakly.
"Back to the old ancestor, there are traces of the appearance of the magic circle in the woods on the outskirts, and Yan Nai's breath disappeared there." Xiao Lan replied truthfully.
Xiao Ningqiu didn't show that he didn't care so much about Yan Nai in front of Qin Ji, in fact, he cared more about this person than Qin Ji, Qin Ji was concerned that Yan Nai had the spiritual power of Huangfu Mubai, and Yan Nai had more important significance to Xiao Ningqiu, so he had to investigate clearly, and this task fell on Xiao Lan.
"Disappear into the circle? Teleportation Circle? Xiao Ningqiu frowned and asked with some uncertainty, while Xiao Lan immediately denied his guess, "It's a more complicated and strange magic circle, and the possibility that it is an ordinary teleportation circle can almost be ruled out." ā
Listening to Xiao Lan's words, Xiao Ningqiu fell into deep thought, what kind of magic circle can make a person's breath disappear so completely, as if the world has evaporated?
"Ancestor, in my opinion, this matter is very strange, this Yan Nai is by no means an ordinary onmyoji, his spiritual power has grown by leaps and bounds in just one month, except for the spirit bead can be done, there is no way to do it, and the cost of the spirit bead alone is not something that an ordinary onmyoji can afford, not to mention that the spiritual power of the spirit bead is fused in a short period of time, there must also be a spirit melting pill, which is an astronomical amount more than the expense." Xiao Lan said with a serious expression.
"No matter how much his spiritual power advances by leaps and bounds, it is impossible to disappear from this world in an instant......" Speaking of this, Xiao Ningqiu suddenly paused, and a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on his originally calm face, and he immediately got up and looked at Xiao Lan suddenly, "Take me to the place where the magic circle disappeared!" ā
Xiao Lan was so shocked that he couldn't speak, because since he remembered, this old ancestor had never left the Xiao Mansion, to be precise, he had never left the Star Pavilion, and now he actually said that he was going to the woods?!
"What are you doing? Lead the way! Xiao Ningqiu urged a little impatiently, Xiao Lan came back to her senses and hurriedly left the Star Gazing Pavilion with Xiao Ningqiu.
Xiao Ningqiu, who left the Xiao Mansion, wrapped himself tightly with a cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly under the wide hood, and in less than half an hour, the two arrived at their destination, Xiao Lan pointed to a place not far away and said, "That's it." ā
Xiao Ningqiu walked over quickly, there was no trace of the magic circle here, he wandered around in place for a long time, only to see a talisman flying from his chest into the air, as the seal in his hand was completed, the talisman suddenly turned into a huge semicircle, enveloping him.
What is amazing is that after that semicircle appeared, a looming magic circle appeared under Xiao Ningqiu's feet, and this magic circle was the one before Yan Nai!
"Sure enough......" Although a trace of surprise flashed on Xiao Ningqiu's face, he quickly regained his composure, and then his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Ancestor, what's wrong?" Looking at Xiao Ningqiu's increasingly ugly face, Xiao Lan asked with some concern, this was the first time he had seen an ancestor with this expression, which really made him a little creepy.
Xiao Ningqiu didn't speak, he closed his eyes, the magic circle gradually disappeared, and the semicircle that enveloped him gradually dispersed, when he opened his eyes again, his expression returned to his previous appearance again, and said lightly, "Lan, although you are a demon refiner, I have also taught you all the techniques of yin and yang, you come and tell me, what is the difference between this magic circle and the magic circle you have seen?" ā
"It's more ancient and complicated, and it's a little strange, but the person who created this circle should be an extremely good onmyoji." Xiao Lan replied directly without thinking about it.
"What do you think this circle is for?" Xiao Ningqiu seemed to be quite satisfied with Xiao Lan's answer, so he continued to ask.
"It's like a teleportation circle, it's not exactly, but it should still be used for teleportation." Xiao Lan replied with some uncertainty.
Xiao Lan has had a strong interest in the art of yin and yang since he was a child, but the first rule of the Xiao family's family motto is not to step into the yin and yang realm, he has asked the reason more than once, but no one in the entire Xiao family seems to be able to answer him this question.
Until he accidentally broke into the Star Pavilion, where he met Xiao Ningqiu, who was called the ancestor by his father for the first time, the first time they met, Xiao Lan had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with this young ancestor, Xiao Ningqiu expressed his appreciation after learning that Xiao Lan wanted to become an onmyoji, and promised to teach him some yin and yang techniques, in this regard, Xiao Lan's father unexpectedly did not interfere, the young Xiao Lan did not know the reason, he only knew that he could finally learn the art of yin and yang, This made him so excited that he didn't sleep for several nights.
As Xiao Lan grew older, Xiao Ningqiu's love for him continued unabated, and the Yin and Yang techniques taught to him gradually changed from the initial foundation to various high-level Yin Yang techniques, Xiao Lan's talent and amazing progress made Xiao Ningqiu very satisfied, and finally, he taught all his Yin and Yang techniques to Xiao Lan.
However, the only condition for Xiao Ningqiu to teach the Yin and Yang Technique was that without his presence or permission, Xiao Lan would never be able to use the Yin Yang Technique, let alone let anyone other than his father know that he knew the Yin and Yang Technique, because he could only be a demon refiner from beginning to end.
