Chapter 24 The Secret of the Second Floor
It didn't take long for Zhang Yun to go upstairs.
Bai Chen was stroking Amber, and when he saw Zhang Yun, he deliberately puffed up his chest again, "Brother Zhang Yun, why are you back again, have you figured it out?" ”
Zhang Yun hurriedly explained, "No, no. ”
Soon he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and waved his hand again and again, "Sister Chen, I didn't mean that." He pointed to the box on the table, "I am, I forgot to take something." ”
Bai Chen shook his posture and pretended to be coquettish, "Brother Zhang Yun, are you so afraid of me?" I won't eat you again! ”
Zhang Yun didn't dare to answer the phone randomly, so he took the box and was about to leave.
Bai Chen got up and stretched his waist, groaned comfortably, and stared at Zhang Yun slyly, "Little ghost, what are you looking at?" Why don't you go! ”
"Oh!"
After a few times, Zhang Yun could see that Bai Chen deliberately scratched his head in front of him to tease him.
When he reached the door, Bai Chen made a strange sound again.
As soon as Zhang Yun wanted to say something to tease and salute in return, he heard her say casually, "Oh, I have basically cleaned this house inside and out, but there is a room on the second floor that can't be opened, and I don't know if the lock is broken or what's wrong, or you should go and have a look." ”
- The lock is broken and you don't have someone to fix it?
As soon as Bai Chen's words came out, he immediately attracted Zhang Yun's attention.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yun quickly speculated: if it is really as Bai Chen said, then there are only two possibilities, one is that the room is special and she can't open it; The second is that Bai Chen didn't dare to open it. And this room is very likely to be deliberately done by Su Ming.
Soon, he remembered another bronze key.
In addition, no matter which possibility it is, Old Man Su's arrangement is intriguing, and Bai Chen's identity and purpose are also ......
Zhang Yun was suspicious of Bai Chen again, but he still pretended to be casual on the surface, and nodded lightly at her, "I know, Sister Chen." I'll go down and see if I can open it, and if I can't open it, I'll find someone to pry it open, and then change the lock. ”
When Bai Chen saw Zhang Yun going downstairs, he also picked up Amber and followed downstairs.
Coming to the second floor, Zhang Yun quickly found the room Bai Chen said, stretched out his hand and tried it, the doorknob really couldn't be screwed, and the lock cylinder was locked.
After seeing the keyhole above, a flash of surprise flashed in Zhang Yun's eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Chen immediately asked with concern, "Brother Zhang Yun, how is it, can you open it?" ”
Zhang Yun ignored it, hesitated for a moment, but still took out the key in the box and inserted it smoothly.
I only heard a "click" and the lock opened.
Strangely, the door didn't open!
In order to verify his conjecture, Zhang Yun quietly sacrificed the inky black fish in his palm, held the doorknob and twisted it lightly.
Then there was a "click".
At the same time, there was a slight fluctuation of spiritual power in the room, and the guardian formation inside was quietly closed
The moment the door opened, he knew that this was the back hand that Old Man Su had specially left for him, and only the ghost in his body could trigger the last guard.
At this moment, the fragmented memories reappeared in Zhang Yun's mind, and the taste of being seriously injured and dying came to his heart, which was hurried and depressed.
Zhang Yun restrained the turmoil in his heart and pushed the door in.
Bai Chen outside the door was stunned, and seemed to be still immersed in the confusion of why Zhang Yun was able to open the door. It took a long time for her to come to her senses and mutter, "Sure enough, it's not enough to have a key, you have to have another means." ”
What Zhang Yun didn't know was that Bai Chen had opened the door with the key last night, but failed.
The interior of the room was extremely simple, not even household appliances and furniture, and Zhang Yun saw only four things: a small incense burner the size of a palm, a long half-cut wooden block, two keys strung together, and a tetrahedral shaped stone.
The incense burner is three-legged, round-bellied and two-eared, with a hollow breathable lid, and the whole body is made of bronze, and the surface has dots of patina, the age is unknown.
The first time he saw the incense burner, Zhang Yun was also puzzled, and scratched his head at it for a long time, "Old man, why are you leaving a stove for me?" Do you want me to use it to burn incense for you during the New Year's holidays? ”
He opened the lid and found that it was white incense ash and a little bit of wood powder that had not been burned.
The wooden block is supposed to be a spice, and its origin is unknown.
Zhang Yun picked it up and smelled it, and found that there was a fragrance similar to mint on it, and the aroma alone made people feel calm.
He picked up the two keys again, saw the teeth, and suddenly thought of the other two boxes in Parkway, "Yes, the keys are also available!" And what is this stone? ”
The moment Zhang Yun's fingertips touched the stone, the stone suddenly shook.
In the next moment, the door of the room suddenly closed by itself, and after a blinding light, the room turned into a white world.
A figure appeared in front of Zhang Yun.
has an almost white head, a sallow and thin face, almost no longer handsome when he was young, his eyes are introverted, he is wearing white-washed clothes, and his whole body is not a little superior.
Seeing this person, Zhang Yun blurted out, "Old man, aren't you dead?" ”
He reached out to touch it, but his hand penetrated through Su Ming's body, "This, this is?" ”
"Little ghost, you've been deceived again!"
Su Ming spun around in front of Zhang Yun to show off, and grinned again to celebrate the success of playing apprentices.
After a while, he looked at Zhang Yun with gloomy eyes, sighed softly, and reached out to pat Zhang Yun on the shoulder, "Little ghost, I didn't expect you to finally accept my arrangement." ”
Zhang Yun didn't deny it, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" ”
Su Ming pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "I can't answer this question. What you see is a clip that I took with a shadow stone, and you can simply interpret it as my projection, which can only answer specific key questions. ”
"Then why did you leave me a decoration?"
"Arrangement? Because of me, you are also being targeted, and it is possible that because of you, I have also been discovered. In short, whether it's me or because of you, they may all serve the same purpose. I'm in a bad state myself, and I don't know if I'll be able to come back, so I've left you something that I hope will help you. ”
"Come back? Where have you been? ”
Su Ming frowned, "I can't answer this question!" ”
Zhang Yun recalled the encounter and experience of the two for a long time, and then said, "Then why did you choose me?" ”
"Choice? It's not that I chose you, it's that you choose you! I don't know why you didn't die. Also, let me remind you once again, if you don't have enough strength, don't expose the ghost until you have to. ”
Hearing the word "Youying" again, Zhang Yun was obviously surprised, "What is Youying?" ”
"Shadow? Glowing could be a key! ”
Zhang Yun asked, "Where is the key?" ”
"I can't answer that question!"
After a few questions in succession, Zhang Yun saw the clue, and Su Ming would only answer questions that involved key vocabulary, such as layout, selection, and ghostly ......
So Zhang Yun simply asked, "What are the questions you can answer?" Or, what keywords will allow you to answer a question? ”
"Questions?"
The corners of Su Ming's mouth gradually rose, "Little ghost, you finally got the point!" What I can answer is: Questions, Choices, Shadows, Arrangements, Spiritual Gates, Physiques, Deductions, and Masters. ”
Zhang Yun said without thinking, "Lingguan." ”
"Lingguan?"
At this moment, Su Ming's eyes seemed to change, and there was an inexplicable sense of loss, "Zhang Yun, I am the guardian of Lingguan, and you may be the new guardian of Lingguan." For Lingguan, the records of ancient books in the past dynasties are also very rare, and I only know that it is related to Kunlun in ancient times. Legend has it that there are nine heavens in Kunlun, one world at a time, and each layer hides the secret of immortality. In ancient times, how many cultivators worked hard all their lives, just for the word "immortality", which shows the temptation of immortality. ”
"Back then, I didn't know which bastard revealed that I was pregnant with Kunlun's great secret of immortality, so almost all cultivators tried all kinds of methods, or begging, coercing, or enticing...... Just to get the secret of the spiritual pass from my mouth. After killing many people with bad intentions, I was forced to go from place to place, hiding and hiding until I met you. When we met for the first time, I saw the breath of Lingguan from you, to be precise, the breath of Kunlun. ”
Speaking of this, Su Ming's voice stopped abruptly, and the sense of loss in his eyes gradually dissipated.
Zhang Yun said another key word, "Master! ”
Su Ming was stunned for a long time, smiled at Zhang Yun, and said softly, "Hey, be good." Don't look for the spiritual pass, forget about Kunlun's immortality, practice hard, and live well. If you have any hurdles that you can't get over, just go to Feng Tianjiao of Parkway, although this person is my enemy, but he will not embarrass you, or go to the head of the Afterlife Hall, just say that it is "the descendant of Su Ming who met in Qinling". ”
This is the Master's care for the apprentices.
Deep in Su Ming's heart, he only hopes that Zhang Yun will grow up safely.
Zhang Yun's eyes were moist, and two lines slowly flowed out, and he shouted loudly, "Master! ”
Su Ming just repeated his previous words mechanically.
And in Zhang Yun's heart, he only felt very warm, one of the few warmth in the past five years.
He fell to his knees, kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice, "Old man, I know." ”
After a long time, Su Ming spoke again, "Little ghost, are you okay?" Think about it, what questions are left unasked! ”
After a while, Zhang Yun hid his thoughts, and his face returned to calm, "Physique!" ”
When they met for the first time, Su Ming said that he had an extraordinary physique and good bones, and Zhang Yun thought he was an old charlatan.
"Little ghost, I can only guess this." Su Ming coughed lightly twice, "Your physique is the most special of all I have ever seen, and according to several tests I have tested, your physique is very strong. I'm not afraid of your pride, and I can tell you responsibly that what so-called human king's capital is bullshit in front of you. ”
"Of course, your cultivation talent is a little worse."
Su Ming was a little twisted when he spoke, and if you look closely, you will find that the roots of his ears are red - this is one of Su Ming's small actions when he lies.
It can be seen that Zhang Yun's talent is not ordinarily bad.
"I originally wanted to teach you personally, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time, so I left you a Myojin incense, hoping to make up for the small shortcomings in your talent. But you don't have to be discouraged, as the saying goes, "Cultivating a path is the foundation of the Tao, the talent is high, and the physique is the foundation." "As long as you have a firm Dao heart and continue to polish your physique that is almost crushing the world, you will definitely be able to have a place in the cultivation world and practice well."
