Chapter 13: Handshake
After entering the woods, Qingfeng Lan kicked left and right, and the poor tree was completely destroyed by Qingfeng Lan's foot one by one, and the place where he walked was a mess, and he saw two hares grazing together, picked up the stones on the ground and threw them over, and the two hares both returned to the west, and did not forget to kick two feet when they walked to the side.
Unconsciously slipped to the edge of the lake, looked at the particularly abrupt island in the middle, picked up a stone and threw it over, but when the stone touched the island, it was directly bounced out, Qingfeng Lan was also stunned, what the hell is this place? The ground still has a law to rebound? I picked up two more stones, one to the island, and the other to the open space next to me, and the stone thrown on the island was unsurprisingly bounced away, but the stone thrown next to it was smashed directly into the dirt.
Qingfeng Lan suddenly became interested, flew over from the lake, and there was nothing special when he stood on the island, this island was an ordinary island, and there were no spiritual objects, nor was it a special material, his palm pressed down, and the detection technique in his hand was bounced away like the stone just now, and it collapsed directly. This Qingfeng Lan was completely excited, his hand ignited a black flame, and smashed towards the island, the next second Qingfeng Lan was shocked to the depths of the woods, looking at the tree in front of him that was knocked down by himself, his heart was extremely shocked, although the punch did not use all his strength, but the power that rebounded back was more than ten times that of his own swing, what the hell is this, get up and pat the soil on his body and quickly return to the island.
Standing still, the flames slowly ignited in the hands, the hands were close, the flames on the palms of the two hands converged towards the middle, and gradually a spear made of flames appeared, and the flames on the spear were rushing, and after the flames, it seemed that there was a dragon flying. Grasping the spear with both hands, he raised it high, and with a soft shout, the flames on the spear in his hand became more vigorous, and the pitch-black fire seemed to devour everything around him, and at this moment a voice appeared in Qingfenglan's mind: "Slow." ”
The voice was gentle, like an elder whispering in his ear, Qingfeng Lan directly dispersed the spear, bowed his head and asked, "Where is the senior?" ”
"I'm right at your feet. ”
Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, is this island a person? Hurriedly jumped up three steps and ran towards the shore in two steps, and when he arrived at the shore, he continued to ask, "Can the senior show up?"
"I can't show up, and you don't have to call me senior. ”
Qingfeng Lan still stood humbly and said: "If the seniors don't want to show up, the juniors won't dare to make a mistake, but the juniors hope that the seniors can give me a reasonable explanation." "When you speak, you always pay attention to the wind and grass around you, you never let down your vigilance for a moment, and you can talk directly in the middle of the noise. "Well, I'm just a dying person, and I don't pose any threat to you. As for why I can't show up, because I'm a spirit wandering in the world. ”
"Since the predecessor is a spirit, then why does the predecessor say that it is an island in the lake? Could it be that the predecessor is playing tricks on me?"
"Hahahaha, it's worthy of being a person of that clan, even if you know that there is a huge gap between you and me, you still dare to speak out. ”
"Which clan does my predecessor know who I am?"
"I don't know who you are, but I know your spirit. ”
"My spirit? Do you know what my spirit is?"
"I know that I fought with their people in my lifetime. ”
Qing Feng Lan wondered in his heart, in addition to the master and they had talked about it, his spirit had only shown his true face in front of Zifeng and at that moment just now, could he see through his spirit with just one glance?
The voice seemed to know Qingfeng's thoughts, and continued, "I can't see through your level, but I'm sure you haven't spoken to your spirit until now, right?"
Qingfeng stared at the island in disbelief with wide eyes. Ordinary people can have a simple conversation with their own spirit when they are phantoms, and even all exercises, formations, and spells are taught by their own spirits, just like the little master and the master, the two of them can talk to each other since childhood, and even when the master talks about marriage, the little master has also helped to pay attention, and although he has been practicing for so many years, he has never talked to his own spirit once. Even the name and characteristics of his spirit were learned from the master, the little master, and his sister, which was also the pain that Qingfeng Lan had been hiding in his heart.
The voice sounded again: "You are not too worried about what your spirit thinks of you, your spirit is more special, when you cultivate to a certain level, it will naturally tell you the reason at that time, but you must remember not to overdraw your spiritual power at any time." ”
Take a long breath, settle your floating heart, and calm yourself as calmly as possible, "Is there anything that my predecessor taught me like this?"
The voice chuckled, "Yes, I have something to ask you from time to time, and this is also the request of my former host." ”
"Seniors, please speak"
"Before I say my request, listen to me tell you a little bit from the past. Many years ago, my host worked as a cook in a caravan, and the caravan traveled back and forth with the barbarians in the empire and the northwest, and the caravan mainly sent the barbarians' beef and mutton to the empire, and purchased some ornaments in the empire to send to the barbarians, and made a profit from it. Eighteen years ago, my host was ready to go home after the last trip, but it was that trip that kept me here for eighteen years. That caravan still normally transported the empire's ornaments to the barbarians, the third night after leaving the town prison city, the caravan was still a day's journey from the barbarian market, the whole caravan was in the forest to reorganize and rest, happened to be found by the passing bandits, who had also encountered bandits before, the caravan would also choose to leave some money and food for the bandits, as far as possible to ensure the safety of the caravan's personnel, after all, the king of Hades is aggressive, and the imps are difficult. The thieves accept it every time, and the caravan does not report to the official, and both sides are safe. But that night, as soon as the bandits left, there was a flash of light falling next to the caravan, and when the caravan people ran over to look, they saw a purple phoenix weakly crawling on a cloth roll, and the strength on its body was lost, and when the phoenix saw the caravan people, it said to all the spirits at that time, "Protect this child", and disappeared from view. At that time, except for me, the rest of the spirits were almost rebellious, it was the request of the phoenix, there were not many spirits in this era to resist, and the people in the caravan took the child back, because it was a purple phoenix's request, so everyone named the child Zifeng. ”
Hearing this, Qingfeng Lan's heart was shocked, it turned out to be a phoenix, no wonder she felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember it, it seemed that it was because of her own spirit.
The voice ignored Qingfenglan's thoughts and continued to tell the story: " When everyone just calmed down their restless spirits, the group of bandits who had gone before came back, and after coming back, they asked the caravan to hand over the treasure just now, and at first they said that there was no treasure, and they didn't see it, but the bandits didn't believe it, and they directly began to kill people, until the caravan people were slaughtered, leaving only the head of the group and my host, the head of the group was afraid to directly say that the child was the treasure that fell from the sky, but because of the request of the phoenix, the head of the group rebelled, and the crazy head of the group rushed to the people around him, but where is the opponent of the bandit who lost his intelligence, and the head of the group was killed by dividing the head of the group by two, and the leader of the bandits asked my host what kind of treasure this child wasMy host lied to them, saying that the child was the host of the phoenix, and the phoenix only lodged on this child as a last resort, and the phoenix gave himself a set of exercises, and when the child was eighteen years old, he could use the exercises to lure out the spirit of the phoenix, and then he could take the spirit of the phoenix for himself. Originally, my host wanted to wait for eighteen years to escape with Zifeng, but the bandit leader didn't buy it, brought him back here, tortured him day and night, and finally I couldn't bear to look at it, so I told the bandit leader a set of exercises through the host's mouth, and that night, my host fell in a pool of blood and asked me to protect the child. ”
After hearing this story, Qingfeng Lan asked, "Is it possible that a spirit as powerful as his predecessor can't defeat those bandits?"
The voice laughed: "Who told you that if the spirit is strong, people must be strong?"
Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, it is true that no one told him the truth that people with strong spirits are strong, think about these people around him, which one of them has a strong spirit? He arched his hand and said: "It's the juniors who are wrong." ”
The voice continued: "My request is the same as that phoenix, please protect this child." ”
"Why don't you protect yourself? With your experience, it's not difficult to find a powerful host. ”
"When the spirit is not in the host's body, the power will continue to be lost, eighteen years ago I was already at the end of the crossbow, these eighteen years are relying on the secret art of the clan and the slightest unwillingness to support, when I see you, I am also relieved. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I have other thoughts?" After finishing speaking, there was no response, and Qingfeng Lan shouted: "Senior, senior, senior?"
After shouting for a long time and still no response, Qingfeng Lan picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the island, the stone just hit the ground and was not rebounded, but the whole island collapsed, Qingfeng Lan knew that this senior had left and would never appear again.
I found some stones, piled them up by the lake, knelt down on my knees and said, "Senior go all the way, I have agreed to your request, and I will definitely save her from this den of thieves." After speaking, he kowtowed three times in a row.
After getting up, he walked towards the woods.
As soon as I walked out of the woods, I saw a group of people in my yard, and when I got closer, I saw that there were many fresh faces in the crowd. Seeing Qingfeng Lan coming out of the woods, Zifeng immediately waved at him. But Qingfeng completely ignored her, walked straight to the crowd and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
The leader of the person is dressed completely different from the people in the village, and the clothes worn by the people in the village are all very dull linen clothes, but this one is wearing silk, although it looks like some low-grade goods, but it is also quite a tyrant's clothes in this village, and he heard Qingfenglan's question: "You are Qingfenglan?" I am Chen Ming, I am Chen Ming, hello when we meet for the first time." ”
Qingfeng Lan looked at the outstretched hand and didn't say anything, smiled and shook hands with Chen Ming, the two held hands without saying a word, and looked at each other with a smile on their faces.
Da Zhuang was stunned for a while, and it wasn't until some iron armor gradually appeared in Chen Ming's hands that Da Zhuang understood that the two were competing, and he didn't say much, and stood quietly on the side and looked at the two.
Chen Ming saw that the breeze in front of him did not change color, but he had already used ten layers of spiritual power, and his hands were already possessed, but he still couldn't hurt the person opposite in the slightest, but if he withdrew it now, how would he lead these brothers behind him in the future?
Qingfeng Lan didn't know what Chen Ming thought, and when he saw Chen Ming's face flushed on the other side, he gently patted Chen Ming's shoulder with his other hand and said, "You are Brother Xiao Chen?" I heard Zifeng talk about you every day, and often said that you brought her a lot of things. ”
Chen Ming saw Qingfeng Lan giving the steps, so he continued along with the words: "How can there be? This is what I, as an elder brother, should do, haha." After saying that, the two also let go of their holding hands.
