Chapter 23 Ziling
Finding Ye Feng staring at him, Teacher Ziling turned his head and nodded slightly at Ye Feng.
After a brief greeting, he said to Barrow, "Patriarch Barrow, I have calculated that the rainstorm at night should be the biggest in ten years, and you should prepare the people as soon as possible." ”
Baro nodded, turned to Ye Feng and bowed, and said, "Two gentlemen, please stay here and rest for a while." As you have heard, there is a torrential rain tonight, so why don't you rest in my house. ”
As he spoke, Barrow turned to Teacher Ziling and said, "Sir, please stay here and take care of your distinguished guests, and I will go out now and tell the clansmen to prepare for the storm." ”
Barrow took his daughter and hurried out of the tent.
After the father and daughter left, Teacher Ziling came to the opposite side of Ye Feng and He Huan and sat down on the blanket.
"The Tanzani have always been very welcoming, and the two of them are not in a hurry to leave, so they will stay here tonight. Teacher Ziling took the wine jug, filled the wine glass in front of Ye Feng and the others, and said.
The closer they got to Teacher Ziling, the more Ye Feng and He Huan felt the strangeness of this Teacher Ziling.
If there was no life on his body just now, then after he sat down opposite him at this moment, he released an aura that was very similar to that of a human being.
His breathing and heartbeat were all clearly felt by Ye Feng.
But the more this is the case, the more Ye Feng feels that the person in front of him, called Ziling, has an extremely mysterious origin.
"Teacher Ziling is not from the Tanzanki ethnic group?" Ye Feng asked.
Ziling smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, I am from the Great Zhou Kingdom." A few years ago, I came to Yin Shang to travel, and finally saw the pleasant scenery here, so I stopped here. ”
"You two, what are you going to do here?" asked Teacher Ziling quietly.
Ye Feng pondered a little and said, "Oh, my brother and I are both Yin Shang Kingdom sword cultivators. A while ago, I heard that Zang Ke Forest was a good place for sword cultivation trials, so I decided to try my luck there. ”
"Are you going to go to Zangke Forest?" Ziling's eyes flashed.
He stared at Ye Feng on the ground, inserted the bag of four rank swords, and said, "This gentleman, if I am not mistaken, you two brothers should not be ordinary sword cultivators, right?"
Ye Feng also saw the long sword in his bag revealing his horse's feet. Finding that Ziling doubted his identity, he smiled and said, "Yes." If it comes to personal strength, I think that with the strength of a sword master, I should not be considered an ordinary sword cultivator. ”
"Sword Master, you are so young, you have already cultivated to become a Sword Master?" Ziling's face was full of shock.
He had been living in the Tanzanzi colony for some time, and he had seen many sword cultivators who had gone to the Zangke Forest to try their luck. But so far, this was the first time he had seen a sword cultivator who was less than twenty years old, but already had the strength of a sword master.
"What are you looking for in the Zangke Mountains? As far as I know, this is not a good place for sword cultivators to try their luck. Ziling said with a warning.
Ziling's words made Ye Feng secretly vigilant.
Somehow, he had a hunch that this Teacher Ziling didn't seem to want to see him and He Huan enter the Zangke Forest.
"It's nothing, my father is seriously ill and needs some precious medicinal herbs, and my brother and I went into the forest just to look for medicinal herbs, and we won't go too far into the forest. Ye Feng said casually.
After saying this, he stood up, clasped his fists at Ziling, and said, "Sir, if there is nothing to do, our two brothers will rest first." Tomorrow, when the heavy rain stops, we will immediately enter the Zangke Forest. ”
Ye Feng issued an eviction order, and Teacher Ziling naturally couldn't continue to rely here.
He got up slowly, stared at Ye Feng, and said, "Okay, the two of you should rest early." When you leave tomorrow morning, I won't send the two, but Ziling still has something to tell the two, look at the two of them, this trip should have a lot of tribulations, and I hope that you can get the blessing of the god of Zang Ke Mountain. ”
With that, Teacher Ziling turned around and walked out of the tent and walked into the distance.
After Ziling left, Ye Feng and He Huan sat down cross-legged.
Ye Feng gently played with the delicate tin wine glass in his hand, as if talking to himself, and said: "What does that Ziling mean by what he said? ”
On Ye Feng's side, He Huan, who never liked to speak, shook his head and said, "I don't think he wants us to enter the Zangke Mountain Range. ”
He Huan's words made Ye Feng smile. In fact, He Huan didn't say it, he could also feel that Ziling didn't want them to enter the Zangke Mountain Range.
It's just that, apart from unwanting, Ye Feng seems to feel that Ziling seems to have something to say.
Thinking of the breath of life that came and went on Ziling's body, Ye Feng's eyes flashed with coldness.
He knew very well that no matter how well Ziling disguised it, it was difficult to hide the fact that he was not human. It's just that for a while, Ye Feng couldn't accurately know Ziling's true identity.
In the evening, the torrential rain that Ziling said suddenly came.
The violent wind and rain were greater than the wind and rain that Zhi Ye Feng encountered on the way to Putian County.
Like raindrops the size of beans, they hit the tent with a rattling sound, disturbing people who can't sleep.
Amid the roaring thunderstorm, a roar suddenly came from the distant horizon.
Although the thunder muffled most of the sound, Ye Feng, who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, still heard the whimper in the wind and rain.
Suddenly, Ye Feng sat up. Looking in the direction where the voice came from, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
After tidying up his clothes, Ye Feng's body swayed, leaving the tent like a ghost, and after entering the rainstorm, he hesitated slightly, and quickly ran away in the direction where the roar came from.
The direction of the roar, on the edge of the Zangke Forest.
Moving all the way, about the time of tea, Ye Feng came to a region less than a hundred meters away from where the sound came from.
Due to the dense rain obscuring his vision, Ye Feng could not see the scene from a distance of a kilometer.
But vaguely, he still saw through the rain curtain that there was a flickering pale white light in the woods on the edge of the Zangke Mountains.
"That's ......" Looking at the white light, Ye Feng was slightly stunned.
According to his investigation of the monsters and terrain in the Zangke Mountains before he came, he learned that there was a monster called Jian Gut in the Zangke Mountains, and its whole body was silver-white.
"Could it be that the sword and gall monster in the dense forest ahead?" Ye Fenghu speculated suspiciously. Thinking of the rumors that the Sword Guts Monster itself had a super strong magnetic field, which could imprison the flow of Yuan Qi in the Sword Cultivator's body, the suspicion on his face was even stronger.
According to prior investigation, the Sword Guts Monster should live in the depths of the Zangke Mountains. And this is just the edge of the mountain range, and it doesn't even enter the range of the mountain range, so how can there be a sword and guts monster.
With a stomach full of questions, Ye Feng slowly approached the light.
As his feet stepped into the wooded area where the white light was, the white light flashed in front of him, and then disappeared from his sight out of thin air.
When the white light faded, the jungle became dark.
Finding that all the aura in front of him had disappeared with the disappearance of the white light, Ye Feng's heart trembled fiercely, and he withdrew from the dense forest without hesitation.
He knew very well that no matter what the white light that roared just now was, it was not something he could compete with now. From the moment he approached the dense forest, the white light had already discovered his whereabouts, otherwise the light would never have completely disappeared the moment he stepped into the dense forest.
Ye Feng followed the original road and walked towards the Tanzanzi people's settlement.
When he returned to the tent area, he suddenly found Ziling standing outside with his hands behind his back.
When the storm was less than half a meter away from Ziling's side, it was simultaneously led to one side by a strange energy. So much so that after being hit by the torrential rain for so long, Ziling's body was not wet with a trace of raindrops, and the ground under his feet caused the rain to gather into a river.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Ziling turned around.
The moment he turned his head, his eyes flashed a bright blue, like lightning.
"You saw that?" Ziling asked in a cold voice.
Finding that there was something abnormal in Ziling, Ye Feng immediately became alert.
He looked at Ziling's demonic eyes fearlessly, and said, "Teacher Ziling, is that figure in the dense forest just now you?"
"Brushing" a cold murderous aura burst out from Ziling's body.
The murderous cold, like the frost and snow of the cold winter moon, as soon as it appeared, it froze the rain within a radius of more than ten meters into ice crystals.
"Actually, there are some things you don't want to say. Ziling said coldly, slowly approaching Ye Feng.
Seeing that Ziling was getting closer and closer to him, Ye Feng's palm slowly touched the Thunder Light Soul Chasing Sword, and he also said in a cold voice: "There are some things that you can actually not do. Before it rained, I didn't know why you didn't want me to enter the Zangke Forest, but now I understand that you, Ziling, are not human at all, but a trace of spirit. I'm afraid you're not staying here because of the scenery, but to monitor if anyone has entered the Zangke Forest. ”
Ye Feng's words made Ziling's face more and more gloomy.
Suddenly, his palm suddenly grabbed Ye Feng's throat.
Obviously, his arm, which was less than two feet, skyrocketed in the void more than a dozen feet long, and in the blink of an eye, it approached Ye Feng's throat.
With a muffled sound, the Thunder Light Soul Chasing Sword in Ye Feng's hand slashed at Ziling's arm.
Immediately, a puff of lightning sprayed out from his arm, and the electric light was contaminated with water mist, which was quickly transmitted, and instantly hit Ziling's whole body.
Ziling's body was covered by a blue arc of electricity.
Stimulated by the arc, his body twitched, and faint gray smoke continued to erupt from his mouth.
In the void, a bolt of lightning tore through the dim night sky.
As if pulled by the electric light on the ground, the lightning in the sky suddenly fell vertically to the ground and hit Ziling's body fiercely.
There was a loud bang, and Ziling and the land under his feet were all struck by lightning.
On the ground, a deep pit with a diameter of more than ten meters was suddenly revealed, but in the deep pit, there was no body of Ziling, only a faint white smoke remained.
Inside the tents of the Tanzanks, sleeping people woke up in unison when they heard the explosion on their sides, and poured out of their tents.
Realizing that a huge crater had been struck in the center of the tent area by lightning, the Tanzanks were all stunned.
"Is this, is this the wrath of the gods?" Barrow cried out in horror.
Immediately after the shouting, he fell to his knees on the ground, and kept bowing to the pit and the sky.
Looking at the empty pit, Ye Feng had a feeling that Ziling, who was struck by lightning, did not seem to be dead.
Just as he walked around the kneeling Tanzanks and was about to carefully search the surroundings for any abnormalities, suddenly Barrow's youngest daughter cried out.
"I heard Teacher Ziling speak. Teacher Ziling told me that he had returned to the Zangke Mountains, and he asked me to tell Mr. Ye that you would meet again in the Zangke Mountains. As he spoke, Barrow's youngest daughter flashed a strange red light in her eyes, and then her body shook and she fainted to the ground
