It's a mirage scale, yes!"

As soon as the old man's words fell, Zhang Haotian was taken aback, could it be that the scales of the Zhufang Pagoda and the mirage were really for that purpose? That forbidden technique!

"Well, since it's really a mirage scale. In this way, old man, I will ask you about a spell about mirage scales......" Zhang Haotian said halfway through his words, and the old man waved his hand.

"Little brother, the old man only understands medicine and medicinal materials, I don't understand the talisman, I can't answer you. ”

"Okay, old man, can you buy the scales of the mirage here?" Zhang Haotian asked again.

"No, I believe that there will be no more mirage scales to buy in Quanduyun except for that place, because mirages are too rare. The old man said.

"Which place, may I ask?" Zhang Haotian asked again and again.

"Little brother, have you noticed that the person who bought the mask on the street, he bought the mirage mask, it means that he knows about the mirage. The old man said, "The man who bought the mask, his master specializes in collecting rare treasures, is my friend. I visited him before, and he once showed me the skin of a sun-dried mirage...... By the way, where did you get the scales in your hands?"

"Uh, I picked it up in the bamboo forest. Zhang Haotian lied.

"Oh, that's right, maybe it's my friend!" said the old man.

"And where can I find that friend of yours?"

"Little brother, why are you so entangled in this scale?" the old man was suspicious.

"Oh, I'd like to inquire about a spell. Zhang Haotian said, "This talisman is very helpful to my cultivation. ”

"Alright then, look at you so persistent. You go to the depths of the bamboo forest, where there are a few small settlements where people live in groups, and you go there and ask someone named Jing Lao, who lives there, and the people there will be happy to help you show you the way. The old man said.

During the period of grasping the medicine, Zhang Haotian and the old man's conversation Er Yan heard it very clearly, and Er Yan couldn't help but interject at this time: "Old man, the old man you said likes to collect rare treasures?

The old man paused and said, "Yes, I don't have Xianrui grass here, he may have it there." ”

"Then I'll take a trip. Er Yan turned around again and said to the uncle, "The uncle's body tonic medicine has been left with you first, and I will go to find Jing Lao." Excuse me. ”

After saying a cursory goodbye to the old man and the uncle, Er Yan was about to turn around and leave. However, Zhang Haotian took Er Yan's hand behind him, and Er Yan looked back suspiciously.

"Are you ignoring me, I'm going there too!" Zhang Haotian said with a smile.

"That's right, Xiaoyan, you two just have a companion, so you can take care of each other!"

"Yes, yes!" this is exactly what Zhang Haotian wants.

"Uncle, you don't know him...... Hey, you ......" Er Yan was pulled out by Zhang Haotian before he finished speaking. Before leaving the pharmacy, Zhang Haotian did not forget to turn around and say, "Thank you for the advice of the seniors."

"Do you let go, do you know you well?" Er Yan shook off Zhang Haotian's hand on the street.

Zhang Haotian had no choice but to shrug his shoulders. Although the two kept a distance of one body, but seeing that Er Yan's pace was the same as his own, Zhang Haotian secretly Xi Er Yan had already tacitly acquiesced that the two of them could go to Jing Lao together. It is estimated that Eryan also agrees to take care of this statement in her heart. So, the two of them walked in the direction of the green bamboo forest and embarked on the road to find Jing Lao.

Along the way, Zhang Haotian felt a little bored, and while thinking about talking to Er Yan, he suddenly remembered his experience with Er Yan Valley, so he used this to start the topic.

"Eryan, do you want to know who the masked weird man who helped you that day is?" asked Zhang Haotian.

Yan glanced at her and said, "Of course?"

"How did I know that he was still under house arrest?"

Er Yan paused for a moment, and said in surprise: "Why do you Zhang family want to put him under house arrest, is it ......?"

"Could it be what?" Zhang Haotian asked, "Isn't it possible that the demon spirit that escaped from his body has something to do with you?"

After listening to Zhang Haotian's words, Er Yan suddenly pulled Zhang Haotian's sleeve and asked anxiously, "...... You said the little goblin ran to the masked man?"

Er Yan's words first made Zhang Haotian feel confused, and he wondered what Er Yan's words meant? Could it be that the little demon spirit was not originally on Er Yangu's body? If it wasn't for him, when did the little demon spirit run to Er Yangu's body? Zhang Haotian thought about it carefully and thought about what happened when he had a conflict with Er Yan at that time, and suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at Er Yan with sharp eyes, and asked:

"Eryan, what do you mean by 'running to'? Could it really be that you harbored the little demon spirit, and then when I probed your body, the little demon spirit ran to the side of Eryan Valley?"

"What did you say?" Yan looked even more surprised, "What were you talking about, my brother?"

Zhang Haotian nodded solemnly.

"It turns out that the young man who helped me is ......" Er Yan said in a panic, "No, Zhang Haotian, it's none of my brother's business, he doesn't know about the little demon spirit, you let go of my brother quickly." That's right, it's me, the little demon itself is hidden in my arms, and I don't know when she ran to my brother and him. Perhaps, maybe it was when you were about to examine me, and she moved to my brother in a panic. I said, "Why did I lose her when I went back later......?"

"But really, my brother doesn't know about it, if you want to blame me, it's me who secretly hid the demon spirit. Eryan was so anxious that she almost tore Zhang Haotian's sleeves.

"Hey, calm down!" Zhang Haotian gently pushed away Er Yan's hand, and seeing that Er Yan was about to cry, he comforted him with pity: "Okay, okay, it's just house arrest." Your brother is staying well in Zhufang Pagoda now, no one embarrasses him, and besides, he is still a member of the Qingcheng Sect, and our Zhang family is not easy to get along with the Qingcheng Sect. As for his matter, our demon slayer will investigate it clearly, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

"It's you...... Huh?"

Zhang Haotian suddenly felt a little distressed, because Er Yan was so anxious that tears had flashed out, she covered her face, probably not wanting Zhang Haotian to see it. Seeing this, Zhang Haotian didn't say anything anymore, and swallowed back what he was going to say, probably for fear of irritating Eryan. However, he didn't know how to coax girls very well, so he had to walk with Er Yan silently.

The air gradually carried a fresh breath, the kind of smell that belongs to green bamboo.

After walking a considerable distance, Er Yan turned her face to talk to Zhang Haotian, and her expression seemed to have regained her composure.

"Don't get me wrong, I miss my brother so much that I ......" Yan Yan drooped her head.

The two siblings hadn't seen each other since Eryangu ran away on the day of the Beast Spirit Tower's selection festival, until Eryangu appeared in a funny way that day. So Er Yan said that she missed her brother, and Zhang Haotian, who knew the truth, also understood this.

"Arrived?"

Zhang Haotian suddenly stopped, only to see a settlement on the other side of the bamboo forest not far away. Jing Lao is probably hidden in it. Zhang Haotian motioned to Er Yan: "Let's talk about Jing Lao after we finish looking for it first!" Er Yan nodded, and followed Zhang Haotian to the other end of the settlement.

After inquiring with the people in the settlement, Zhang Haotian and Er Yan went around to the deeper part of the green bamboo forest, and there was a Taoist temple standing in the depths of the bamboo forest, and there was a plaque on the Taoist temple, and the three big characters of "Wei Tianguan" were written on the plaque.

Regarding this name, Zhang Haotian had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and thought: "Have I heard it somewhere?" However, the destination of the two of them was not Wei Tianguan, there was a stream behind Wei Tianguan, and the two of them bypassed Wei Tianguan, waded through the stream, and then walked dozens of steps-

"Is this here?" Zhang Haotian muttered to himself.

Zhang Haotian and Er Yan's eyes were greeted by a wooden hut, shabby but well-furnished, surrounded by a vegetable garden, in which a few fluffy little yellow chickens occasionally came out, and there were dogs barking without saying a word.

Suddenly, an old man leaned out of the vegetable garden, probably startled by the abnormal barking of the dog, and he looked at Zhang Haotian. The old man hesitated at first, but Er Yan smiled at him, and the old man nodded with a smile......

"You may be seated!"

At this time, the old man had already invited Zhang Haotian and the two of them into the house. After some greetings and introductions to each other, we can learn that this old man is Jing Lao, who likes to collect rare treasures. So, Zhang Haotian briefly explained the purpose of his coming here and took out the scales. Jing Lao took it and looked at it, and once again confirmed that it was a mirage scale, and the source of this scale was Jing Lao.

"In that case, Jing Lao, I would like to ask you about a spell about mirage. Zhang Haotian asked.

"You say. ”

"I once saw such a forbidden technique called "Mirage Change" in a book about ancient talismans, which uses the scales of the mirage as the core material, and can be ...... with cumbersome spell casting."

"It allows the two people who have been spelled to permanently swap their voices. Jing Lao replied first.

"Yes, yes, it's such a forbidden technique. Can you tell me who recently bought the scales of the mirage from you?"

Jing Lao hesitated for a moment and thought about it.

"Xiao Yu, that is, the young master of Zhufang Tower, took some mirage scales from me a few days ago, because the scales of the mirage are rare...... Wait, little brother, do you mean that Xiao Yu's intention in acquiring the Phantom Scales was to use the 'Phantom Transformation' forbidden technique?"

Zhang Haotian didn't answer Jing Lao, but secretly pondered in his heart: "I can't think of other uses for the Phantom Scales anyway, except for this forbidden technique, after all, after the Beast Spirit Tower was eliminated by the Phantom Mirage, I already have a thorough understanding of everything about the Phantom Mirage." Could it be that the young master of Zhufang Pagoda really wants to use the scales that this forbidden technique brought with him?"

"Zhang Haotian, Jing Lao is asking you!" Er Yan pulled the corner of Zhang Haotian's clothes and said softly.

"Uh......" Zhang Haotian came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly, "Uh, it's not, I've been researching this forbidden technique recently, and I happened to pick up this scale in the Cuizhu Forest, so ...... I'm just curious. Now that my doubts have been resolved, then I will be fine, the main purpose of our visit this time is still the matter of Eryan, Eryan......"

Yan immediately understood it and said, "Well, Jing Lao, may I ask if you have Xianrue grass for sale here?"

"Immortal Ruegrass, this one is also very rare, but I have collected a little bit on the banks of the Yunshui River. Kid, what do you want to buy it for!"

Hearing that Jing Lao had fairy rue grass for sale here, Er Yan was overjoyed: "Great, Jing Lao, I want to buy some to cure my mother's illness." ”

"It's not easy for you to find me here, you are a filial child, so let's give you this little stock I have here. ”

"How can this work, you work so hard......"

Jing Lao waved his hand and said, "Hey, where is the hard work to speak of, I just have nothing to do to go to the Yunshui River to hang out, and I accidentally saw a talent collecting." The value of fairy rue grass is not measurable by money, there is a warm story in this, you are so filial, I will give it to you. ”

After speaking, Jing Lao turned around and went to the inner room to look for Xianrucao. And the warm story in his mouth should be the story of the fairy aunt "Yun", but in fact, who is "Yun"? What an amazing character! Zhang Haotian thought secretly.
