XIII. Origin

Zhang Longqian, who had nothing to do, thought of it and began to act.

took out a yang finch talisman and sent a message, and it didn't take long to receive a reply, Zhang Longqian folded the list and ran out in his pocket, and soon came to the gate of Zhengcheng to meet Ji Haiyun, who had been notified by her, and the two teleported away together.

The materials that Zhang Longqian couldn't find were all widely used in the Dao Law Realm, and one of the uses was to assist in refining "pills".

And the "Lujiang Zuo Family" from which Zuo Ling was born is an out-and-out Danshu family.

As a family that is famous for its Danshu in the entire Dao Law Realm, every member of its family will naturally refine pills, and as the inheritor of the Zuo family's Danshu, Zuo Ling will naturally have the necessary materials for alchemy at any time, and the number will never be small.

So when she received Zhang Longqian's contact, Zuo Ling immediately gave her an affirmative answer.

Accompanied by Ji Haiyun, she came to Zuo Ling's office, Zuo Ling had already prepared the required materials for Zhang Longqian, each of which was filled with a small wooden box about half a foot long, far more than she needed, so she told Zuo Ling that she didn't need so much at all, but she got Zuo Ling's answer.

"You'll always have something useful in the future, it's always a good thing to have some reserves, and I carry a lot of them with me, so it's okay at all, so you can take it."

Hearing Zuo Ling say this, Zhang Longqian hesitated, then stopped refusing, seeing this, Zuo Ling nodded, turned his hand and took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "You also take this." ”

"What is this?"

"The pill of the Zuo family, used for healing."

Zhang Longqian refused with a smile: "I've already recovered." No need. ”

"With your messy play, can you guarantee that you won't get seriously injured next time?" Somewhat forcefully pulled Zhang Longqian's hand, and Zuo Ling put the small porcelain bottle in her hand with a serious face. "Nangong or me, or anyone else, we can't always be by your side, you have to carry some of this elixir with you."

"But ......"

"I will never take back what I have taken out, you can keep it well. Also, if you don't want me to give you medicine in the future, then change your habits. Don't mess around like that, got it? ”

Looking at the worry in Zuo Ling's eyes, Zhang Long's heart warmed. Gently held the porcelain vase.

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Zuo Ling, and ...... Sorry to worry you. ”

Zuo Ling smiled again.

After putting away the pills and materials, I chatted with Zuo Ling for a few words. Zhang Longqian was ready to go back with Ji Haiyun. At this time, Zuo Ling seemed to hesitate for a moment, but said before the two of them went out: "Long Qian, you've been paying attention to the matter of the Nightmare Demon recently, right?" ”

Zhang Longqian just kept this matter from Bai Lu as much as possible, but the others always knew about it, so she nodded: "Well, yes." ”

"I got some news from Shen Ye, it's about the Nightmare Demon."

Seeing that Zhang Longqian's face suddenly became solemn, Zuo Ling groaned. Speak slowly.

"From the demons that I caught, the temple found some characteristics of human beings."

"Humans?" Immediately realize what this means. Zhang Longqian looked at Zuo Ling in disbelief, "So, are all those demons ......?"

Zuo Ling nodded heavily.

"Yes, they were originally human."

With her eyes wide open, Zhang Long subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth, otherwise she would probably exclaim in surprise.

"Originally, they were all humans", that is, these monsters that suddenly appeared were not "new breeds" of monsters at all, but all of them were humans, and it was only through some means that they became as terrifying as they are now.

"Transformation", this is the true meaning of "creation" by the devil.

"Didn't some of the students go missing before? After the temple and the Council of Elders cooperated in the investigation, they found a soul fluctuation belonging to a missing student on a nightmare, and later through comparison, it was found that all the nightmare demons caught were like this. ”

That's why those demons will continue to kidnap students.

Who would have thought that the monster he had been facing turned out to be his former classmate?

A little unbearable in his heart, Zhang Longqian asked, "Is there a way to let them recover?" ”

Zuo Ling shook his head heavily: "The Inspectorate of the Law Hall has launched an investigation from all sides, and the nine elders of the Council of Elders and the five elders of the Dharma Hall have also tried it themselves, but ...... There is currently no way to restore these nightmares to human form. ”

"If you encounter the Nightmare again......

"At present, only a few people know about this, and only Shen Ye and the president of the student guild know about it, but they have asked everyone in the student guild to try to capture them alive when facing the demons, and the same is true for the Dharma Hall. But the words of ordinary students...... "After a moment's hesitation, Zuo Ling's voice became a little heavier, "It's still like the previous notice to everyone, take self-preservation as the first priority, and don't restrict the act of depriving the demon of his life." ”

Zhang Longqian knew that this was the right decision, after all, the difficulty of the demon was well known, and only a mage could face it calmly, and the students' self-protection was probably a problem, how could they still have the strength to consider the safety of the demon as an "enemy"?

If you had to choose between "a student who has become a demon and is difficult to recover" and "a normal student", the result is obvious.

Zhang Longqian understands these things, but he can't bear it.

"This matter...... 'The demon is a student', will you tell the other students?"

Zuo Ling shook his head: "No." If they knew the truth, I'm afraid most people would hesitate to face the Nightmare, and it would be worth the loss of everyone's lives because of this. ”

Zhang Longqian nodded and did not speak.

Looking at Zhang Longqian, who was obviously depressed and unbearable with some concern, Zuo Ling hesitated for a moment, but continued to speak.

"And, that magic ...... I'm afraid it's in the academy. ”

Zhang Longqian is not surprised by this.

After all, the student association has caught a lot of nightmare demons these days, but their number has not decreased significantly, which proves that the demons have been transforming the newly captured students into nightmare demons. The academy has the protection of prohibitions that even the Celestial Master is helpless against, and there is no creature in this world that can break in or out of the academy without alarming these prohibitions, and to complete these transformations, demons can only be in the academy.

"But...... This means that the demon has the strength to secretly break into the academy, right? ”

It was Ji Haiyun who had been listening silently to answer Zhang Longqian's worries.

"No, eldest miss, the prohibition of the academy was jointly laid down by the 'Seven True Persons', even if it is an immortal demon who has achieved a positive result, it is impossible to infiltrate silently, no matter how strong that demon is, it can't do such a thing as 'secretly breaking in'."

"But ...... now?"

"You forgot? There is another possibility. ”

Looking at Ji Haiyun's serious eyes, Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, and then his heart sank and his eyes lowered.

“…… Yes, there is still a possibility. ”

The biggest possibility is not the absurd assumption that "the demon has the power to surpass the immortal demon", but that he did not "invade" the academy from the beginning, but entered the academy through "legitimate channels". (To be continued.) )
