The Purple Smoke Forest is a small maze, designed and supervised by Zhang Ningyun himself, and with the purple smoke at the entrance, it can make people who enter this place feel like they are hitting the wall.

If you don't find the eye of the formation, or break it with force, ordinary people can't get out of this place at all. The array belongs to the three sects of the Xuandao magic array in cultivation, and it is also the most difficult one to practice.

Therefore, even if someone under the mountain cultivates the Xuan Dao, he will not practice the formation gate. First, because its mystery is profound, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand; The second is that there is no famous teacher to teach and teach, and there is no reference to the classics, so it is difficult to rely on one's own understanding.

Therefore, if you want to achieve something in this field, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. It's just that Long Zhan doesn't know that this is a formation yet, he doesn't think that anyone in the Zhang family will set up a formation, he just thinks that someone is watching his every move somewhere, and then playing tricks on himself.

He couldn't figure out who had this

"Leisure and elegant", but being teased like this all the time is really infuriating. He wanted to fly up to the eaves and walk out of this place directly, but he didn't dare to expose his cultivation easily.

He stood in front of the rockery, tilted his head and thought about it, and simply sat on the rockery with his arms around his chest to bask in the sun. It just so happens that the sun is just right today, shining on people, warm.

He thought that since someone was looking for him, there must be something. Never deliberately call yourself here, just to tease yourself, no one should be so perverted.

After waiting for a long time, after a short time, his ears moved lightly and he heard someone coming. He didn't care, and continued to lean on the rockery to sleep.

It was a maid from Zhang's mansion, fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a light blue inferior dress.

She walked all the way to find it, and finally saw Long Zhan in the rockery, and hurriedly stepped forward to owe it, and said respectfully: "Young Master Long, our young lady is invited." Long Zhan raised his drooping eyelids, sat up slightly, glanced at the maid, and then lay down again, his eyes closed, and continued to sleep.

The maid raised her head and stood on her tiptoes to see the look on Long Zhan's face. But because Long Zhan was sitting on the halfway of the rockery, or leaning back, even if the maid was on tiptoe, she couldn't see Long Zhan's face.

The little maid was so anxious that she had to raise her voice a little and said, "Young Master Long, our young lady has already prepared tea, please come over." Long Zhan still didn't pay attention, didn't even lift his eyelids, and continued to sleep.

The little girl was so anxious that she looked left and right, and didn't know what to do for a while. She stood in place, hesitating, sometimes standing on her tiptoes, sometimes looking at the current road, wanting to ask for help, but she didn't dare to walk away, so she could only accompany Long Zhan and stay here.

It's just that time passed little by little, thinking that Miss's pot of tea had already been brewed, and if she waited any longer, I was afraid that the tea would be cold.

Moreover, the tea can be brewed again when it is cold, but it is really unreasonable to let the young lady wait like this. If the housekeeper knew, he would definitely reprimand her fiercely, scolding her for not doing things well, and she couldn't even invite someone.

The more the little maid thought about it, the more frightened she became, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and finally tears flowed out, but she still raised her courage and called out again: "Young Master Long? Dragon Childe? Long ......" Long Zhan finally sat up, his eyes opened a thin slit, his eyelids were still drooping, and he looked down at the red-eyed little girl in front of him expressionlessly, and asked, "What are you calling me for?" The little girl's tears were about to fall, but she didn't dare to reach out to wipe them, her hands were placed in front of her abdomen very decently, and she said in a soft voice,

"My young lady invited her son over for tea." Long Zhan laughed, but his eyes were completely open,

"Invite me to tea? I thought she was going to spend a day in the sun. The little maid tilted her head slightly, not understanding the meaning of the dragon battle.

She has been in Zhang's house for many years, and she has been here many times, but she doesn't know the weirdness of this courtyard at all, so she doesn't understand Long Zhan's words at all.

Seeing that the little maid didn't talk, Long Zhan jumped down from the rockery, stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, and said, "Forget it, there's no need to embarrass you, let's go." The little maid was taken aback by Long Zhan's actions, but she didn't dare to avoid it, but fortunately, Long Zhan didn't make any other moves, otherwise she would have to be even more aggrieved.

Moreover, when he heard Long Zhan say that he could go, his heart finally let go, he exhaled lightly, and immediately stretched out his hand and asked, "Long Gongzi, this way." After that, he led the way in front.

Long Zhan followed behind her, paying attention to the route he was taking, but after walking for a while, he found that the route was not different from the two times he had taken before.

He couldn't help but wonder why he walked like this, but every time he walked back, he would go back to the rockery?

He quickened two steps and shouted, "Little sister, I want to ask you something." The little maid was startled, and hurriedly bowed,

"Don't dare. Childe, please speak. Long Zhan asked, "Do you often walk in this courtyard?" The little maid didn't understand what Long Zhan meant by asking, and after thinking about it seriously, she replied: "I will go three to five times a month, I don't know if it's frequent." Long Zhan thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then have you lost your way here?" I just feel like I can't get out, I've been wandering around here, have you ever been? The little girl shook her head, thinking in her heart, the road here is obviously easy to walk, it is not complicated, how can she get lost.

She didn't understand why Long Zhan asked that, she just felt strange. Long Zhan touched his chin, looked back at the roads he had walked, and didn't find anything particularly complicated, but why couldn't he walk out before?

It's weird to be able to go back to square one.

"Young Master Long?" The little maid saw that Long Zhan was standing and didn't leave, so she hurriedly asked,

"Young Master Long? What happened to you? ”

"Huh? Oh, it's okay, keep walking. Long Zhan came back to his senses, glanced behind him again, and then continued to follow the little girl.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he came to a pavilion hanging over the water, and the pavilion reads

The word "ask lotus". Looking at it from the side, there are indeed many lotus stems in the pool, but now they have all withered, leaving only a section of jet black.

The little maid stopped at the bridge, stretched out her hand and asked, "Childe, the young lady is already waiting in the pavilion, please." Long Zhan snorted and signaled that she could retreat.

Long Zhan had already seen the people in the pavilion, and the people in the pavilion also looked over this way. Although the two are more than ten feet apart, they can clearly see each other's expressions.

Zhang Ningyun is face is demure and calm. Long Zhan looked puzzled and worried. The two looked at each other, thinking that the other party could not see their expressions, so they looked at each other for a long time and did not look away.

The cold wind blows, and the warm sun shines. Long Zhan removed his eyes, exhaled lightly, and then strode towards the pavilion, and Zhang Ningyun naturally came to the steps under the pavilion to wait.

Moments later, the two approached. Long Zhan arched his hand,

"Long Zhan has seen Miss Zhang." Zhang Ningyun returned the salute,

"Call Miss Zhang and you'll see the outside, let's call me Sister Ning Yun as before." Long Zhan didn't care, and shouted in passing,

"Sister Ning Yun." Zhang Ningyun smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and asked, "The tea is ready, let's sit down and taste it first." Long Zhan nodded and followed in.

In the gazebo there was a small table with a tea set on it, and next to it was a stove on which the pot of water was boiling.

Zhang Ningyun stretched out her hand to invite Long Zhan to sit down, and she herself began to make tea, the same, with gentle and meticulous movements.

Long Zhan didn't understand much of this, so he honestly took off his shoes and sat on the seat. It's good that he doesn't have athlete's foot, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

However, Long Zhan was thinking in his heart, if it was a person with athlete's foot who came to drink tea, should he take off his shoes?

Smell the sweaty feet and taste the famous tea...... It's wonderful to think about. Zhang Ningyun noticed Long Zhan's expression and asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?" Long Zhan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of a little happy thing." Zhang Ningyun also sat down and poured a cup of tea for Long Zhan,

"What's the happy thing? Let's hear it. Long Zhan didn't expect her to ask along the way, so he said: "It's nothing, it's just that when I came, I saw a cow that likes to have a red face on the road, and I thought it was funny." Zhang Ningyun thought about it for a while, and then laughed,

"That's funny, but I wonder if the cow would be funny if he knew you were talking badly about him behind his back?" Long Zhan looked at Zhang Ningyun with a shallow smile.

And Zhang Ningyun drank tea by herself, smiling playfully. Long Zhan also picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, but because it was too hot, he put it down again.

However, he immediately observed that Zhang Ningyun had been drinking non-stop, and he didn't seem to be afraid of burning his mouth at all. He remembered the scene he saw in Luomei Xiaoyuan that day, when Zhang Ningyun obviously fell into the pool water, but after getting up, not only did she not shiver, but where she was standing, no water droplets fell to the ground, which was too normal.

There must be a demon when something goes wrong, and Long Zhan can only come to one conclusion, that is, Zhang Ningyun is a cultivator, and he is not an ordinary ordinary person.

In this way, the confusion of getting lost on the rockery side may be easy to explain. He picked up the teacup and was about to use Qi to see if the other party's cultivation had reached that point, but after thinking about it, forget it.

If the other party was really a cultivator, then how could she not perceive it if she used Qi to probe her? Isn't that also self-exposed?

Long Zhan put down the teacup and dispelled this thought. However, he was also a little confused in his heart, he had never heard of Zhang Ningyun practicing since he was a child, and when she talked and met in the past, she always seemed to be demure and gentle, why did she suddenly practice?

Could it be that she has been hiding before, but she hasn't hid it very well, so no one has found out?

After thinking about it carefully, I can understand that how could Long Zhan in the past look at others in such detail, and it is strange that he can find it.

Maybe it's because of this that Zhang Ningyun dared to cast spells so boldly last time. At the same time, he also figured out another thing.

That day in Luomei Garden, Zhang Ningyun quietly approached the quiet room. There were a lot of dark whistles around the ashram, but no one could notice it before she even approached.

It can be seen that her ability is no longer comparable to ordinary people. Long Zhan couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ningyun, his brows furrowed slightly, thinking to himself what kind of person this Zhang Ningyun was, why did he suddenly feel so strange.

Zhang Ningyun also observed Long Zhan, and she found that Long Zhan's demeanor and demeanor were quite different from before.

I thought of the anti-temptation in the rockery before, and I was even more surprised. She didn't expect Long Zhan to use a few traces of the stone's landing points to expose herself.

This meticulous prudence is by no means something that the previous dragon battle could do. Temperament, temperament, and behavior...... Are these abnormal?

When things go wrong, there must be demons. From this, she also had an idea, maybe the person in front of her is not a real person, and it is likely that the dragon war is no longer the dragon war.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of her red lips, and was about to use her aura to investigate, but she thought that since the other party might not be an ordinary person, how could she hide from his eyes when she probed like this?

So, in the end, she also chose to give up the exploration. However, she still noticed that today's Long Zhan's dress is also different from ordinary people, and normal people in this cold winter must be cotton clothes and big furs, how thick and thick they can wrap.

But Long Zhan only wore a few long clothes that were not thick, and he didn't make a swing...... This is another good proof that the other party is by no means a normal person.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ningyun became worried again, if the other party is not an ordinary person, who is it? What is he going to do?

What does he want to do? The two sat facing each other, but their thoughts had long since drifted away. I don't know how long it took, Long Zhan felt that it was not interesting to sit down like this, so he broke the silence and asked, "Sister Ning Yun, do you have any orders for calling me this time?" Zhang Ningyun put down the teacup and said slowly: "It's nothing, I just want to meet your host." The poems of your host at the Poetry Society impressed me deeply. Long Zhan smiled: "Our host has already gone to the Rainbow Sea, and I don't know when we will be able to come back." Zhang Ningyun nodded, not disappointed with this answer, as if he had guessed that Long Zhan would say this early in the morning.

She smiled lightly and asked, "Who is that owner?" There are several names of places and people in his poems that I seem to have never heard of. Long Zhan thought for a moment, and then understood.

There are several place names, personal names, and allusions in those poems. It's not a world, I really don't know.

Especially in Long Bai's poem, if you don't know the allusions, it is difficult to understand the charm of it, and it is difficult to fully understand the poetic meaning.

Zhang Ningyun is a talented woman who has studied poetry. When you see a good poem, you naturally want to understand the meaning of it.

It's normal to have such a problem. It's just that Long Zhan is a bitter endorser, and he memorized poems to cope with the exam, as for the poetry of the allusions in it, he didn't know much, so Zhang Ningyun came to ask, and he couldn't explain it, and he didn't need to explain, anyway, the other party asked the owner.

Long Zhan shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know who the owner is, when he comes back, I can help you ask." Zhang Ningyun's expression was still light, without much change, and said: "When Guan Yuliu's little girl came here to play a few days ago, I heard her say that your wife can also practice, is it true?" Long Zhan nodded, holding the teacup in his hand, his fingers tapping lightly on the teacup, thinking about why the person in front of him was asking this.

Zhang Ningyun held the teacup in both hands and said with a smile: "I really didn't see it, I thought she wouldn't practice, I hadn't heard anyone talk about it before, I thought she would practice suddenly." Long Zhan also laughed,

"She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, what is so strange about how to practice, now a wealthy family, which family does not practice? As for why she hasn't heard anyone talk about it, I think it's probably because she doesn't want others to know. Long Zhan looked at Zhang Ningyun and said with a smile,

"After all, if you practice this kind of thing, it's good to know about it, so why bother to announce it to the public? You mean, Sister Ning Yun. Zhang Ningyun was stunned for a moment, then her eyes narrowed slightly, and the teacup she was holding slowly lifted and sent it to her red lips, but she didn't drink it, but was thinking about something.

After about ten seconds, she suddenly picked up the teacup and looked at it, and then sent it to Long Zhan's side.

Long Zhan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this meant,

"Sister Ningyun, what are you ......" Zhang Ningyun said in an almost commanding tone: "Take it." Long Zhan didn't know what the other party was going to do, but he still reached out and took it.

It's just that as soon as his hand touched the teacup, the whole person trembled. I took the teacup and took it to the present to look at it, and sure enough, the water in the teacup had been frozen into ice cubes.

"This ......" Long Zhan slowly raised his eyes, and after seeing the other party's purple aura in his eyes without shying away, his five fingers also exerted a slight force.

The teacup, along with the ice cubes inside, instantly turned into powder and shattered. There was no need for the two of them to hide it anymore, and as soon as that sentence came out, they announced that the disguise had failed.

In fact, the two of them have begun to be exposed intentionally or unintentionally since the time of Luomei Xiaoyuan, but they only decided to tell each other frankly after gathering all kinds of details and being very sure.

Zhang Ningyun was the first to laugh,

"It seems that I guessed correctly, you really have cultivation." Long Zhan also smiled: "I didn't guess wrong, you can also practice, and your strength is not low." Zhang Ningyun raised a hand and made a gesture at the pond next to him.

A line of water stretched out from the pond like a dragon exploring the clouds. Zhang Ningyun gathered them together to form a huge water ball across the two of them.

Zhang Ningyun stretched out a hand and lightly touched the water ball, and the water ball began to condense into ice from the position where she had clicked, and finally spread to the entire sphere.

After a while, the water polo turned into an ice hockey puck. Zhang Ningyun cast another spell to hold the ice ball above the pond, and then snapped his fingers, and the ice ball instantly collapsed, turning into countless ice ballasts and spilling into the pond.

After casting the spell, Zhang Ningyun folded his hands in front of him, returned to his demure and elegant appearance, and said with a light smile: "Cultivating the Yuan Realm Water Law Ice System Xuanshi, what about you?" "The meaning is obvious, you have missed a hand, shouldn't you also show a hand?

Long Zhan naturally understood what she meant, but his strength was not easy to show, but he couldn't help but show it.

So he stretched out his palm and gently placed it on the tabletop, wanting to leave a slap mark on the table like Long Yushu did.

But...... His cultivation was limited, and he couldn't perfectly control those powers. Therefore, not long after he exerted his force, the low table exploded with a bang under his power.

Rumble! Tea sets were scattered all over the place, and tea began to flow. Fortunately, Zhang Ningyun immediately cast a spell to control the tea, causing it to condense into ice, otherwise this mat would have to be wet.

Long Zhan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my cultivation has just recovered, and I am not familiar with it yet, so I haven't mastered the strength well." Zhang Ningyun was still demure and calm, and just said: "I'm very strange, I checked your whole body just now, and I didn't find any signs of spiritual energy flowing, why is this?" Long Zhan looked at his palm and didn't answer.

Zhang Ningyun waited for a moment, didn't wait for an answer, and said, "You're not going to say something?" Long Zhan smiled: "There's nothing to say, I don't have any aura on my body." Zhang Ningyun's calm and calm face finally showed a little confusion,

"No aura? I don't really understand. Long Zhan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever heard of Qi?" He was afraid that Zhang Ningyun wouldn't understand which word it was, so he dipped his fingers in water again and wrote it on a tattered desktop next to him.

"Qi." Zhang Ningyun looked at it for a moment and shook his head,

"No, what is it?" Long Zhan smiled: "I don't know what it is. Seeing Zhang Ningyun frowning, he explained: "I don't understand the specific meaning of this word yet, but others told me that this is the origin of the human race, the true cultivation power of our human race." Zhang Ningyun pondered for a moment, and then focused on another matter,

"You said someone else told you? Is there really a proprietor? She actually believes that the so-called owner is the dragon war, and the dragon war is not the real dragon war.

Long Zhan thought about it for a while, and finally decided to tell him honestly,

"No, as you guessed before, I'm the owner." It's not that he doesn't want to hide it, but with Zhang Ningyun's intelligence, he will definitely find out the truth soon, so there is no need to hide it.

Zhang Ningyun has one of the biggest differences from others, that is, Zhang Ningyun is good at looking at problems from a high point of view, rather than obsessing with himself.

People like Meng Wanlin and Ke Peiling are actually not stupid people, but they habitually start from themselves when thinking about problems.

And some things, if you can't get out of your own circle and jump out of your own fixed perspective, it is difficult to find the problem.

Zhang Ningyun is different, she looks at the world calmly, is not easily deceived by everything, so she can clearly identify problems.

Long Zhan continued: "Tell me about Qi, there are other people. "As for whether this person refers to Yu Hongkuo or those people on the Blue Star, in fact, Long Zhan himself is a little confused.

Yu Hongkuo didn't seem to say anything, but he seemed to say something. And there are also relevant records of Qi on the blue star, but the explanations in it are varied, and they cannot be used as really instructive.

However, it is undeniable that these things have helped him a lot and accelerated his understanding of Qi. Zhang Ningyun wanted to continue to ask who that person was, but when he saw that Long Zhan said this, he stopped, and thought that if he asked again, Long Zhan would probably not say it, so he dispelled this idea and didn't ask again.

Instead, he began to focus on Qi again, asking, "What kind of power is this?" Long Zhan shook his head, looked at his palm repeatedly and said, "I can't tell, anyway, it feels quite powerful, it seems to be more powerful than aura...... Hmm~ Take advantage of some. ”

"Pick it up?" Zhang Ningyun was a little puzzled by this adjective. Long Zhan didn't know how to explain it, so he turned his head and explained tentatively: "It's just that it's easier to use and more satisfying, just like using a spoon before eating, and now using chopsticks...... Hmm~ It seems that this metaphor is not appropriate, but the meaning is almost the same anyway. You can get a spoon too, but it's not as easy to use as chopsticks, well, I guess so. ”
