9. Involvement (II)
Looking at the noisy everyone, Zhang Longqian unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and the nerves that were originally tense due to worry unconsciously relaxed. Zhou Miao glanced at her and asked, "Now rest assured?" ”
Zhang Longqian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized Zhou Miao's intention to explain these things to her, so he smiled and nodded lightly.
At this time, Zhang Hanguang's deep voice came from the side.
"The ban can only be partially opened, and the old man doesn't know where he will send you, children, be careful yourself."
Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be stunned, and then said hurriedly: "Can't you control where to go?" ”
Laughing a little helplessly, Zhang Hanguang said: "No way, the main body of the ban in the Demon Slaying Forest is not laid by the ancestors of the Zhang family, so the Zhang family has not been able to strengthen this ban for more than a thousand years, and it cannot be replaced by other prohibitions, and now it can only barely open a part of it, and the opening frequency is strictly limited, and there must be an interval of at least one month between two openings." Saying that, he shook his head slightly, and seemed to be quite emotional, "It's not that the prohibition of one's own cloth is always so troublesome, otherwise the old man wouldn't have taken so long to prepare." ”
Nangong Piao said before that the Zhang family did not strengthen the prohibition of the Demon Slaying Forest like the construction of the outer ban, at that time, Zhang Longqian was still thinking that the Zhang family's approach was simply asking for trouble, and now when she heard Zhang Hanguang's words, she understood what the reason was, but she couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Mr. Zhang, this ...... Is it appropriate to tell us? ”
After all, Zhang Longqian is not a person from the Taoist realm, if she wants to call Zhang Hanguang "Hanyang Zhenren", she really can't call it, she can only call him "old man".
Although she didn't know as much about the things in the Dao Law Realm as Zhou Miao and the others, Zhang Longqian also understood that this kind of hidden truth that was not known to outsiders usually couldn't be said nonsense, but now that she heard Zhang Hanguang say it herself, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, and the word "killing people and destroying mouths" flashed through her mind like an occupational disease.
Looking at Zhang Longqian's worried expression, Zhang Hanguang smiled kindly: "It's okay." Although they didn't make a public announcement, the Zhang family never deliberately concealed it, many old guys knew about it, and the white girl's grandfather also knew about it. It doesn't matter if everyone knows, after all, this will not affect the strength of the ban, and the only one who can open the ban is still the Zhang family, so there is no need to worry at all. ”
Secretly relieved, Zhang Longqian nodded to show that he understood, but he couldn't help but have a little admiration in his heart because of Zhang Hanguang's unexpected open-mindedness.
Looking at the few people standing around, the red light in Zhang Hanguang's hand gradually brightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's almost time, Zuo boy, you guys stand a little closer." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Longqian immediately stepped back, looked at the five people standing together at the edge of the forest, and said softly: "Be careful on the road, go early and return early." ”
Bai Lu smiled and waved her hand gently, Nangong Piao and Zuo Ling smiled and nodded, signaling her not to worry, and even Zhou Miao nodded lightly.
Only Cang Yan still looked indifferent, and she didn't even look at Zhang Longqian, but she felt more at ease than anyone else.
There will be absolutely no problem.
Zhang Long said softly in his heart.
At this time, Zhang Hanguang's deep voice sounded again: "Be careful." ”
As soon as the words fell, the red light in Zhang Hanguang's hand shone and flew out, and at the same time, several people around him also raised their hands to throw a slightly fainter red light. Several red lights collided in the air, and in the blink of an eye, they merged together, turning into a five-pointed star the size of a human head, Zhang Hanguang pinched the seal, and manipulated the five-pointed star that seemed to be burning towards the forest, and suddenly let out a low sigh.
"Open!"
With his voice, the five-pointed star that had become the size of two people suddenly printed a prohibition, and let out a slight "boom", as if the paper had been burned. There was no change in the forest, except for the distortion of the pentagram. What you can see through there is a huge forest that is much denser and darker than what you see, each tree is ridiculously thick, the mottled trunk is wrapped with solid vines, the broad branches and leaves reach to the sky, and the vitality accumulated by thousands of years of growth is unconcealed, which is staggering.
However, such a strong vitality does not make people feel warm, but a strange coldness slowly seeps out from it.
The dense trees obscured the view of those who wanted to peek inside, and no one knew where this strange feeling came from, only from the abnormal silence, they could feel the coldness that seemed to hit the whole body and the palpitations that unconsciously enveloped it, as if all the creatures that stepped into the forest would be swallowed up.
Knowing that what he saw from the center of the pentagram was the real scene, and being surprised by the terrifying aura it exuded, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "This is the real Demon Slaying Forest......
A warm red light was projected from the center of the pentagram, enveloping the five people standing together, and then the five of them rose slightly from the ground in the spherical light, slowly moving towards the forest.
"If you go to any dangerous place, don't go out for a while. This red glow has a strong protective effect, which can last for a while, and can also take you to other places, but once someone goes out, it will disappear immediately. You see, make good use of this defense. ”
The five people looked at Zhang Hanguang through the thin red light and nodded lightly to show understanding.
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from within the forest.
Anger, unwillingness, hatred, all negative emotions can be found in this terrifying roar, the deafening sound seems to be ringing in the ears, Zhang Longqian doesn't know what kind of monster this belongs to, but she seems to have been hit by an invisible force, her chest suddenly tightened, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
Pinching the seal and looking at the inside of the Demon Slaying Forest, Zhang Hanguang frowned slightly.
"I'm really good at picking the time."
While continuing to send the five people into the forest, Zhang Hanguang faced the people around him: "Speed up, after sending them in, the ban will be sealed, the old man has no time to play with it now." ”
Those few people immediately changed the seal in their hands slightly, and the red light wrapped in the five people accelerated the speed of movement, and the pentagram also shrank at an extremely fast speed, and they heard an unwilling roar from inside, and the red light wrapped in the five people finally passed through the shrunken pentagram, and was gradually covered by the illusion.
Seeing that the opening had shrunk to less than half a meter, Zhang Hanguang immediately changed the seal and shouted lightly: "Seal!" ”
The color of the pentagram suddenly changed to a dazzling golden yellow, and it swirled and closed even faster.
Seeing that a few people went in smoothly, Zhang Longqian's heart finally let go after a long time, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the somewhat blurred faces of the five people.
Then, a pitch-black arm-thick, rattan-like thing stretched out from the small gap in the pentagram, instantly wrapped Zhang Longqian tightly, and quickly retreated.
"Bastard!"
The sudden occurrence caught Zhang Hanguang off guard, he shouted angrily and wanted to exert his strength, but he couldn't make a move because he controlled the closure of the prohibition, and could only watch the black cocoon wrapped in Zhang Longqian pass through the narrow gap in the prohibition.
"Dragon Dive!"
I heard Bai Lu and Nangong Piaoqi exhale, and in the next moment, the pentagram closed smoothly, and Zhang Longqian also disappeared into the illusion.
Several people around Zhang Hanguang immediately fell to their knees without strength, squinting at the Demon Slaying Forest, which was no different from usual, Zhang Hanguang's face gradually became gloomy.
