In the sparsely populated suburbs of Zhongkun City, in the cluttered room belonging to Zhou Miao, Nangong Piao was asking Cang Yan beside him for advice in a slight and almost inaudible voice.
Cang Yan, who had always had a cold expression, still couldn't see any change in his expression at all, and he hardly spoke, he just calmly listened to Nangong Piao's somewhat chaotic words, and occasionally spit out one or two words like gold, this almost speechless appearance can't help but give people an illusion, as if he was just a beautiful puppet. But even Cang Yan's short words, Nangong Piao would always consider them very seriously after hearing them, and the expression on his face was a little dignified.
It didn't take long for Nangong Piao to seem to be persuaded by Cang Yan, he looked up at Zhang Longqian and wanted to speak, but found that she was still maintaining her previous posture, staring at the spherical core without saying a word, but her eyes didn't know where to go, and she didn't pay attention to his conversation with Cang Yan at all - if Cang Yan's response was more than she said, it could be regarded as "conversation". This made Nangong Piao feel that lowering his voice was simply a superfluous move.
Thinking about it, she smiled a little helplessly, and then Nangong Piao wanted to regain Zhang Longqian's attention, but found that her eyes suddenly became sharp, as if she was making some important decision, that look was too serious, so Nangong Piao hesitated a little whether she should open her mouth to interrupt her thoughts, after thinking about it, in the end, he still said to Zhang Longqian with some caution: "That...... Dragon diving? β
As soon as the hesitant voice entered his ears, Zhang Longqian immediately took his thoughts back from Fengxing, and then followed the sound and looked towards Nangong.
Seeing that Zhang Longqian's expression was very calm, and he was not interrupted by the unhappiness of his thoughts, Nangong Piao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he turned his head to look at Cang Yan, whose expression was as cold as usual, and then looked at Zhang Longqian, and a trace of apology appeared on his face: "That...... Yan thinks you're no different from a mortal...... Because his judgment is never wrong, I can't just be sure that you are a casual cultivator. You...... Can you prove it? β
If it was just Zhang Longqian alone, I am afraid that she would show her feet on this issue alone, but now, there is still a wind star on her body. Although Feng Xing didn't say that he was a mage, but just by virtue of his ability to teach Zhang Longqian an amazingly powerful spell casually, as well as his knowledge of the "Dao Law Realm", Zhang Longqian had long been convinced that he was a mage from a thousand years ago. With such a "backstage" there, it is impossible for her to show her stuff at all.
Listening to Feng Xing's answer, Zhang Long had a deep expression on her face, and then she looked at Nangong Piao with a serious expression: "How do you want me to prove it?" After all, redheads...... No, Cang Yan didn't say anything wrong. β
Hearing Zhang Longqian's words as if admitting that he was not a loose cultivator, Nangong Piao couldn't help but be a little confused: "Huh? But didn't you just say ......"
"I'm just saying that he's not wrong, but I'm not denying that I'm a casual cultivator." Glancing at Cang Yan lightly, Zhang Longqian looked at Nangong Piao again, "I'm not a 'family heirloom' cultivator, but I have only recently joined the master's sect, but I have just started to learn spells, and I have not mastered too many things, and I am not much stronger than mortals." Therefore, in Cang Yan's opinion, my spiritual power is probably still as messy as a mortal, right? β
The so-called "family tradition" casual cultivation is a family of casual cultivators who will have people learn spells for generations, and some of them will occasionally be recognized by the "Dharma Palace" and become veritable mages, and in such a family, even if some people have not learned spells, they also know the information of the "Dao Law Realm" where some mages are located, although this part of the people is equivalent to mortals, but they have the treatment of casual cultivation, as long as they do not casually spread the news of the "Dao Law Realm", they will not be erased by the mage. Under this rule, it is naturally impossible for mortals to know that there are still mages in the world, as well as the existence of family traditions.
Hearing Zhang Longqian's rhetorical question, remembering that Cang Yan had indeed said that Zhang Longqian's spiritual power was as messy as a mortal, Nangong Piao immediately nodded, but in his heart he had already believed a little because of the information she said that mortals would never know.
Tilting his head slightly to make a thoughtful look, Zhang Longqian slowly continued: "So, you want me to prove that I am not a mortal, and I am really ...... for a while Yes! Her eyes lit up, she seemed to remember something, so she reached out and pulled out something from under her collar, looked at Nangong Piao and said, "This should be able to be used as proof, right?" β
Just glanced at the small and warm thing that Zhang Long was carrying, Nangong Piao exclaimed: "High-grade Soul Stone?!" β
also glanced at the soul suppression jade, but Cang Yan let out a low voice as if he was talking to himself: "'Requiem' ...... 'warding off evil spirits'......
"You can see it, it's amazing!"
It's not that Zhang Longqian followed Nangong Piao's acting and casually talked nonsense, but Feng Xing's slightly unexpected emotion made her say it.
"You can identify the effect of the Soul Stone just by 'looking', and this kid is the second one I've encountered. β¦β¦ Hmph, interesting......"
At first glance, these words seemed to be an appreciation for Cang Yan, but that almost sneering voice revealed a hint of danger, Zhang Longqian could even imagine that Feng Xing must have squinted his eyes now and showed an interested smile, and the dark cyan eyes were definitely colors that were about to be equated with "bad intentions". Although Zhang Longqian couldn't be sure if Feng Xing, who was a "remnant soul", could come out and do something to Cang Yan, that meaningful tone still made her can't help but look at Cang Yan twice, and the depth of the gaze cast at him was also mixed with a little subconscious sympathy.
But in Nangong Piao's eyes, Zhang Longqian's actions became the normal reaction of people who learned spells when they encountered this situation. Coupled with the precious Soul Suppression Stone that only mages and cultivators could have, Nangong Piao completely dispelled his suspicions - although he also felt that it was a bit of a tyrannical thing to make the Soul Suppression Stone into a jade pendant.
Thinking of Nangong Piao, he gave Zhang Longqian a peer salute, and said with a smile: "It's really good that you are a loose cultivator, let me breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise I really don't know what to do, after all, your spiritual power is too strong, neither of us can erase your memory......" Speaking of this, he said again: "By the way, your talent is so good, the person who can be your master must be also very powerful, that ...... Can you tell me which one it is? β
"Master, he doesn't like to mention his name to others, so I can't say more, I'm sorry."
pretending to be unfathomable and saying such things, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but muttered suspiciously in his heart: "Brother Feng, is this kind of TV series-like statement really okay?" β
"What is a 'TV series'?" Asked suspiciously, Feng Xing said casually: "You can rest assured, the reason why casual cultivation is casual cultivation is because it is unwilling to be bound by the 'Dharma Palace' that rules the 'Dao Law Realm', among which there are many people with great skills, and their temper is also more strange than the other, and there are not a few people who will take people's lives if they disagree, and it is normal for those who do not like to disclose their names." β
"If you don't agree with each other, you will take someone's life? It's really an evil way of doing things......" couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, Zhang Long subconsciously doubted whether these mages or casual cultivators could really be regarded as representatives of "justice".
Sure enough, just as Feng Xing said, hearing Zhang Longqian say this, Nangong Piao immediately threw away even the last suspicion. Looking at Nangong Piao's bright and straightforward smile, although Zhang Longqian still didn't quite understand what a mage was, at least one thing was something she could be sure of.
A guy like Nangong Piao, who doesn't know whether to say "naΓ―ve" or "idiotic", can never be a representative of "evil".
Not knowing what Zhang Longqian was thinking at all, Nangong Piao just asked with some expectation: "Long Qian, you have always been in Zhongkun City, right?" β
Knowing Nangong Piao's intention to ask, Zhang Long nodded quietly: "That's right." β
Hearing this, Nangong Piao immediately looked very happy: "Then, can you help us?" We've lost the clue of the 'Yin Yang Eye', but if you are familiar with Zhong Kun, there will definitely be a way! β
Hearing Nangong Piao mention it directly, Zhang Longqian also replied simply: "Since I am a casual cultivator, of course I can assist you." However, if you encounter a youkai on the way to find it, will you be responsible for handling it? β
Only then did he remember that Zhang Longqian's strength was actually only a little stronger than that of mortals, Nangong Piao nodded as a matter of course, and raised his hand to gesture, as if he wanted to pat his chest to guarantee, but Xu took into account that his image was really not flattering, so he finally put it down, but his voice was very straightforward and resolute.
"Of course! Leave it to us! β
Although Zhang Longqian was only talking about the monsters he encountered "on the way", since the information was in her hands, how long she wanted to let this "way" last, it was naturally all under her control. However, since her goal is to "ensure Zhongkun's safety thoroughly", she will definitely not be satisfied with just finding the "Yin and Yang Eyes".
It seems that this "journey" is bound to last for a while.
Unable to help sneering in his heart, Zhang Long stretched out his hand to Nangong Piao.
