Chapter 27: The Divine Messenger
Tang Yichuan was a little surprised by what Chu Yan said about the Yin Yang Tree, he didn't know what else Chu Yan was hiding from him, looking at Chu Yan's appearance, he probably knew a lot of things.
originally thought that Chu Yan had already told him everything, but now it seems that Chu Yan is still hiding some things that he doesn't know.
Chu Yan looked a little solemn, she sat opposite Tang Yichuan across a small coffee table, hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "There is a legend, which is also what the old gentleman told me, that the person who owns the Yin-Yang Tree should be a divine envoy, who can kill and kill the gods. ”
"Oracle?" Tang Yichuan narrowed his eyes.
Does this mean that I inherited the Yin-Yang Tree and became a person who could kill gods? Does this mean that my destiny is predetermined?
So from the very beginning, I was calculated?
Fucking fairies again?
Chu Yan didn't guess Tang Yichuan's thoughts, he just told Tang Yichuan, the skill of the Yin and Yang Tree, if used well, he would have a powerful ability, the God of War Killing God, omnipotent.
Chu Yan actually didn't mean anything else, that is, he knew that Tang Yichuan was chased and killed by fate to give Tang Yichuan a wake-up call, which probably meant that Tang Yichuan should not be afraid, these two guys of fate should actually let Tang Yichuan deal with them.
After chatting with Chu Yan for a few words, Tang Yichuan also knew his ability, but he just hadn't captured how to make himself more powerful.
Let the Yin Yang Tree be god-level, easier said than done, not that god-level is god-level.
"If you absorb some soul power, the Yin-Yang Tree will be upgraded." Chu Yan said after thinking about it.
"The power of the soul-" Tang Yichuan was suddenly stunned, could this mean the soul power of the hundred ghosts, if he caught the hundred ghosts, he would absorb all the power of the hundred ghosts, would his ability improve even faster?
Come to think of it. Tang Yichuan remembered the water ghost he caught, after he solved the water ghost, the remaining part of the water ghost's soul did not let him disperse, and put it in a bottle, he could try to see if he could absorb the power of the water ghost.
After Chu Yan went out, Tang Yichuan directly began to make water ghosts real. He absorbed the soul power of the water ghost, and what was surprising was that the power on the water ghost did become absorbable, and when he absorbed the power of the water ghost, he obviously felt a warm current in his body, although it did not melt all into his own power, but it still couldn't absorb it all, compared to the first absorption, it was a little more.
It seems that his speculation is not wrong, and what Chu Yan said is also right. The power of the soul can enhance the Yin-Yang Tree and make the Yin-Yang Tree even more powerful.
The unexpected discovery made Tang Yichuan a little happy, it seems that he needs to use the fastest speed to find the hundred ghosts, and then absorb the power of the hundred ghosts, at that time, he can deal with fate and luck lightly.
The next day. The father and son of the Qiao family arranged a car to go to Zhongnan Mountain.
The five of them drove an off-road vehicle and set off, and this car was also a modified car by the Qiao family's father and son. Qiao Luoxuan said that they have such cars hidden in a certain place in each designated larger city, and they can use it when they need it, which is very convenient.
"It's very convenient." Tang Yichuan felt this convenience, this time the place they were looking for was relatively difficult to find, and I was afraid that no one would be willing to send them over to find ordinary drivers, so they could only drive by themselves.
José drove. Qiao Luoxuan fell asleep after chatting with Tang Yichuan for a while, breathing very quietly.
Tang Yichuan, Chu Yan, and Fox sat in the back seat and chatted at the beginning. After chatting for a while, he was also a little sleepy, the fox and Chu Yan fell asleep in an instant, while Tang Yichuan didn't fall asleep because he was worried that Qiao Ze would doze off while driving, but chatted with Qiao Ze for a while.
"What are you going to do with Nalan Ning?" Tang Yichuan asked Qiao Ze.
"There are some things that need to be discussed with her, and by the way, buy some things from her." Qiao Ze said, pausing, "Most of our exorcism equipment came from her. Are you familiar with Nalan Ning? ”
"If she's the Nalan Ning I'm looking for, it should be relatively familiar, and if she's not the person I'm looking for, it's not very familiar." Tang Yichuan said, "You need to meet to be sure." ”
"You didn't tell you what the Nalan Lemon you're looking for is." Qiao Ze drove the car steadily, some scenery swept outside the window, and the rest of the cars passed by, also driving fast.
It was a bit overcast and drizzling.
Tang Yichuan stared at the gloomy sky outside and said, "Because I can't say what she is like." ”
Qiao Ze shrugged helplessly, thinking that Tang Yichuan deliberately didn't want to say it, so he found such a reason to prevaricate him.
After all, what Tang Yichuan is looking for is Nalan Ning, since he knows who he is looking for, how can he not know what she is like, there should always be some qualities.
After driving for a few hours, José took a break at a rest stop and ate a bit.
After eating, continue to set off, this time Tang Yichuan drove and Qiao Ze rested.
After driving all the way for a long time, when Tang Yichuan also started to get sleepy, Qiao Luoxuan suddenly said: "It's not far, you should be able to get there if you hold on for about half an hour." ”
Tang Yichuan nodded, cheered up and continued to drive.
Zhongnan Mountain is very big, and after getting out of the car, it has been Qiao Ze who has been leading the way, and Tang Yichuan and a few people are following behind.
Qiao Ze seems to be more familiar with this place, while leading the way, while talking about the situation here, when they came, they all prepared relatively professional equipment for climbing the mountain, and it was not difficult to climb up, after all, everyone exercised regularly.
This road is a road that very few people take, and Tang Yichuan doesn't know where it is, he has never been to Zhongnan Mountain, and he doesn't know where Nalan Ning is.
However, Qiao Ze introduced as he walked, Nalan Ning is in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, a place where no one can find it, and the terrain of that place is relatively special, so only those who have been there many times will know and be able to find it, and the rest of the people may not be able to find it.
"What is the identity of Nalan Ning here?" Tang Yichuan couldn't help asking, since Qiao Ze bought weapons with Nalan Ning, he felt that Nalan Ning in this world was not ordinary.
"You're only now asking me what she is." Qiao Ze smiled and glanced back at Tang Yichuan. Said meaningfully, "Aren't you afraid that you're looking for someone you're looking for?" Then you're running for nothing. “
Tang Yichuan said in his heart, you know that I didn't ask, and you don't take the initiative to say.
"What do you say about this Nalan Ning, I like to collect some antiquities and follow some ghosts. Spirits and monsters are together, she is a human being, but she has a very special physique, so she has always lived in this kind of deep mountains and wild forests. She must have other identities, I can only guess that she may have something to do with some other world, but I don't know the specifics. Qiao Ze still answered Tang Yichuan's question and didn't hide it, he looked like he had been waiting for Tang Yichuan to ask this question for a long time.
Tang Yichuan didn't ask, but it made him feel strange.
There was a pause. After a moment of silence, after climbing a steep high slope, Qiao Ze said as he pulled the people behind him up, "She is good at making exorcist supplies, and some of the more useful weapons, and she can also process these things, so my things have always been made by her - in fact, before I asked you about this person." I didn't know much about her, and I didn't even know that the things I used were from her. Now that I know it, I admire it very much, and I plan to take a look and acquire more things. ”
Tang Yichuan had a suddenly realized expression.
After climbing a few small slopes, the road was a little better, but it was only in the woods. There are a lot of insects and monsters on that side, and from time to time you will encounter poisonous snakes and the like, of course, these things are really nothing to Tang Yichuan and a few people.
Even the youngest Qiao Luoxuan would pull out a dagger from his boot when he saw a poisonous snake. Directly crucified the snake, and then skillfully skinned it, planning to turn back and make snake soup to eat.
The journey was quite smooth, and after cooking some food by a small stream in the middle, after resting for a while after eating, Qiao Ze ordered a few people to set off.
Another hour of walking should be enough to find where Nalan Ling is.
Tang Yichuan was full of thoughts about whether Nalan Ning was the Nalan Ning he was looking for, so he didn't have the heart to care how Qiao Ze knew so clearly about Nalan Ning.
After walking for more than an hour, the forest began to look different.
The sky was already very dark, but there was a layer of hazy white mist in this forest, which seemed to be able to glow, so that there was light in the hazy forest to penetrate, so that people would not find any direction.
It seems that someone deliberately set it up like this, and this place should be human.
"Just go inside." José said.
After walking for a while, a winding path began to appear in front of me, there are some strange looking ancient trees on both sides, these trees are relatively short, but they look very good, there are some small lanterns flying on the treetops, the small red lanterns illuminate the road transparently, it looks like a unique street lamp, which makes people feel quite good.
As he walked, the fox said, "This place is very interesting. ”
"There's something even more fun, it's the things that live in this place that are fun." Qiao Luoxuan has a proud expression that you haven't seen, you don't know.
After walking a few steps, suddenly, a burst of white eyes appeared on the ground, and Tang Yichuan and the others were startled.
After the white smoke was gone, a giant toad appeared on the ground, the size of a basketball.
“…… The toads are all fine. The fox looked at the toad on the ground and sighed, "How did it grow like this, it grew so big!" ”
The big toad rolled its eyes, croaked a few times, and suddenly realized that the person in front of him might not understand, so he said, "Welcome guests from afar, please come with me." ”
The toad jumped away, and Tang Yichuan and the others followed the toad forward.
"They know we're coming?"
"I already knew. As soon as they entered the misty forest, they knew that there should be something like surveillance here. The dragonflies and butterflies that flew around at that time were probably similar to the surveillance of the human world. José explained.
Tang Yichuan thought to himself, Nalan Ning here is really not simple, and hope is the person he is looking for.
The toad led a few people into a hall, where there were several wooden buildings that looked relatively old, very quaint, but also looked unique.
"Please wait." The toad snapped away.
Tang Yichuan and the others sat on their chairs, waiting for the master here to appear.
There was a beautiful woman who served them tea, also a youkai. There is also a pair of butterfly wings on the back, flapping exaggeratedly.
After taking two sips of tea, Tang Yichuan waited for the person he was waiting for, and Nalan Ning appeared in front of him.
Nalan Ning is still the same Nalan Ning, still the same cotton white dress, looking beautiful like a little fairy. The hair is longer than before, jet black and soft, up to the ankles, and it looks extremely beautiful when walking.
The moment Nalan Ning appeared, Tang Yichuan actually couldn't tell if this person was the person he was looking for.
This person is exactly the same as the person he is looking for, but he doesn't know if the other party is the same as himself, possessed by Nalan Ning.
Qiao Ze chatted with Nalan Ning for a few words, and Nalan Ning's expression was always calm. Even when he looked at Tang Yichuan and the fox, he didn't have any special expression, this kind of calm made Tang Yichuan's heart feel very unsteady.
Could it be that Nalan Ning really doesn't know him anymore? So this isn't Nalan Ning who came with him?
The fox was also looking at Tang Yichuan, as if he was thinking about whether the Nalan Ling in front of him was Nalan Ning, and it seemed that the Nalan Ling in front of him was probably not the Nalan Ling they knew.
Qiao Ze chatted with Nalan Ning for a while, and then glanced at Tang Yichuan, asking Tang Yichuan if he had found the right person.
Tang Yichuan shook his head slightly, not very convinced.
Looking at Nalan Ning uneasily, he didn't hear what Nalan Ning said to Qiao Ze.
After a while. Someone came and took them upstairs to the wooden building, which had a lot of rooms on the upper floor. The facilities inside are also complete, just like a hotel in the middle of the mountains and forests, which looks special.
Tang Yichuan was arranged into a room, and as soon as he entered the door and sat down, he heard a knock on the door, and it was the butterfly demon who brought them tea and water. The butterfly wings are very exaggerated, but they are very beautiful.
The butterfly demon asked Tang Yichuan to go with her, saying that the master had something to discuss with her.
I don't have much confidence that this Nalan Ning is the Nalan Ling I'm looking for, Tang Yichuan doesn't know what Nalan Ning is looking for him, he is like a soy sauce maker. If you find the wrong person, the real Nalan Ning may be even more difficult to find.
Tang Yichuan was taken to a small building in the back, where Nalan Ning was talking to the basketball-sized toad, and as soon as Tang Yichuan came, the toad jumped away.
"Brother Tang, you're finally here." After the butterfly demon retreated, Nalan Ning said with some excitement.
"Little Lemon?" Tang Yichuan looked at Nalan Ning, he was a little surprised, he didn't have hope, but he didn't expect that Nalan Ning suddenly called him Brother Tang again, that's right, the Nalan Ning in front of him is the little lemon he was looking for!
"It's me." Nalan Ning said, "Those people were here just now, and it was inconvenient for me to speak, so I didn't make it clear to you." I've been waiting for you to come over, and I know you've found me. ”
"It's great to find you. What about Murong Qingshu, not with you? Tang Yichuan thought of Murong Qingshu, the fox had recovered his own body, so what would Murong Qingshu become? Is the ontology a book of life?
Just when Tang Yichuan was about to say something more, a child suddenly walked in from outside, looking at Tang Yichuan with a dark face.
The child looked like he was only four years old, and the little boy, dressed in a period costume, was very cute, but it didn't seem very pleasant.
Tang Yichuan felt that the little eyes looked a little familiar, and that face was also very familiar, and after looking at it in surprise for a while, he said in surprise: "Murong? ”
"It's him." Nalan Ning said, "The book of life is still a book of life, but it has become a book of life that has just become a spirit, and it can only be transformed into this." ”
Tang Yichuan reached out and pinched Murong Qingshu's cheek, and couldn't help laughing: "It's pretty cute like this!" ”
Murong Qingshu glanced at Tang Yichuan depressedly, very unhappy about his change.
Tang Yichuan said: "You have become smaller, why hasn't the fox become smaller, that guy should become smaller." ”
Murong Qingshu nodded in agreement, that is, the fox should be smaller, and he shouldn't be smaller at all.
Nalan Ning and the fox have been living in this place since they were beaten into this world by the time sequence, and with the identity of the original Nalan Ning, they live here quite well.
This is a gathering place for monsters and ghosts, the original Nalan Ning provided a place for this group of monsters to live, and has been managing all the monsters here, and now Nalan Ning is also doing what the original Nalan Ning did. However, she has also been investigating and looking for Tang Yichuan and the fox.
Later, Nalan Ning found Tang Yichuan, and after knowing the news that they were coming to her, Nalan Ning waited here for Tang Yichuan to come over.
Nalan Ning asked Tang Yichuan what his relationship was with Qiao Ze, as well as the corpse demon Chu Yan.
"Friends." Tang Yichuan thought about it and explained the situation between himself and Chu Yan again. That's probably what it looks like, and they told Nalan Ning the task they received, and if they want to solve the matter, I'm afraid they want to catch the hundred ghosts.
And Nalan Ning's words confirmed Tang Yichuan's guess, Nalan Ning said that when she first entered this world, she heard the voice of Shi Order, and Shi Ling told her that they needed to catch the hundred ghosts, solve them, and wait until the hundred ghosts were solved. The original world can be restored to its normal track.
Therefore, Tang Yichuan's speculation after seeing what was said on the diary left by Tang Yichuan in this world is correct.
"You've caught three, which means we have ninety-seven more to catch." Nalan Ning said after doing the math.
"Yes." Tang Yichuan nodded.
"Looks like we're going to set off in a group again." Murong Qingshu shrugged, the eyes on the milk doll's face were black and white, and he looked quite shrewd.
"It's you—" The fox's voice suddenly came from outside, and he must have heard a conversation between several people.
Tang Yichuan and the others glanced at the fox and did not speak.
The four of them finally gathered together, and they were all a little emotional for a while. I don't know what to say if I want to say anything.
Although this world has a lot of similarities with the previous world, even the people around me are very similar. But after all, it's not the previous world, there are no friends from before, those who are really familiar with it, people who know the roots, that feeling, if it weren't for the fact that there are three people around you who are more familiar with you. It should be very lonely and sad.
Tang Yichuan said that he met Su Qingyi, Su Qingyi is not the same Su Qingyi before, and even his personality is different.
Nalan Ning said that she had also seen Xiao Yu in this world, and she was obviously not the same person as Xiao Yu before. It's because of this difference. will make them feel that they should go back to their original world, this is not their world, no matter how similar it is, it is not the same world.
After the four chatted for a while, Tang Yichuan's mobile phone suddenly rang, and a text message came.
"There's still cell phone coverage in this place?" Tang Yichuan was very surprised when he took out his mobile phone.
In fact, he doesn't have any people who are too familiar with him in this world, and the contacts on his mobile phone are all the people Tang Yichuan knew, Tang Yichuan rarely contacts these people, and most of them will directly shirk it.
This came back with a text message, but it looked special.
This text message is only three words, help me.
The text message comes from a number that has been stored in the mobile phone, and the name of that number is displayed as Yu Rongrong.
"There's no cell phone signal here......" After a while, Nalan Ning suddenly said, "I shouldn't have received a text message." ”
Tang Yichuan looked at his mobile phone, there was indeed no signal at all, and he couldn't make a call when he tried to make a call, but he received such a text message.
"Who is Yu Rongrong?" Murong Qingshu asked.
"I don't know." Tang Yichuan shook his head, "It should be someone I know with this body." Ask her for help—not by signal, but by power? Could it be an exorcist too? ”
"No matter what you do, I don't know where she is, what trouble she has encountered, and we can't help each other." The fox looked unconcerned.
As soon as the fox's voice fell, the other party sent another text message, saying his address, and also said that he was in trouble, and they would know when they got there. The last sentence was said by Yu Rongrong, classmates, help me. Tang Yichuan, only you can help me. ”
Tang Yichuan was stunned for a moment after reading the text message, and looked at the reactions of the three people in front of him.
Nalan Ning was a little hesitant, Murong Qingshu's expression was indifferent, and the fox grew his mouth in surprise, "Does he even know what I said?" Is it a human or a ghost—"
"It's a ghost-" Tang Yichuan held his mobile phone and shuddered involuntarily. (To be continued......)
