Chapter 8 Zhou Qingchen's overtures
"Possessed by the Spirit?"
Ning Yuanshan stroked his slender beard, looked at He Ziren's corpse, and frowned and groaned.
Pang Jian's face has no different color.
He had noticed earlier that many foreign objects called "Lingsha" by Han Duping would cause them to kill each other after flying out of those corpses, once they fell into the bodies of the servants of the Zhou family and the Ning family.
He believes this is a suitable reason.
"It's the surname He's unlucky."
Ning Yao, who came after hearing the news, said as soon as her moving figure left the pile of rocks: "Uncle Yuanshan, it's no wonder Pang Jian is in this matter. ”
Ning Yuanshan sighed and sighed: "The son of the He family, he died in our team, how should I explain?" ”
"The people who died, and he was not the only one who died. Because of his high cultivation level, the spirit demon controlled by the demon girl will naturally take the opportunity to enter Pang Jian's body and do his best to mutilate him. I even felt that there was still a spirit demon invading his body, taking advantage of the chaos to erode his mind, so that the spirit demon possessed by Pang Jian could succeed smoothly. Ning Yao took the initiative to eliminate suspicion for Pang Jian.
"It's a possibility." Ning Yuanshan echoed.
Pang Jian's face was as usual, but there was a strange ripple in his heart.
He originally thought that the death of the son of the He family would set off a wave of turmoil, and the Ning family would blame him, but he didn't expect Ning Yao to take the initiative to excuse him.
And looking at Ning Yao's demeanor, he seemed a little relieved, as if he had helped Ning Yao solve some trouble.
"Pang Jian......
Ning Yao frowned, and a pair of shining eyes were fixed on Pang Jian's face.
She sensed something strange.
Even if he was possessed by the "Spirit Evil", it was He Ziren who was killed by Pang Jian himself, but Pang Jian was too calm and did not have the slightest panic, but it was a little unreasonable.
"How?" Pang Jian was surprised.
"Before, you were ...... Killed? Ning Yao asked suddenly.
"Hmm."
Pang Jian replied in a low voice, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have been hunting in the Cen Shan Mountains for many years, and some old hunters have bullied my father for not being there, seeing that I am young, in order to forcibly seize my prey, they have attacked me. ”
Ning Yuanshan's eyes showed a strange color, and he said, "Orion, who is more experienced than you and older than you, was actually killed by you?" ”
Pang Jian said: "Good luck." ”
Ning Yao was stunned, and couldn't help but look at him seriously, her beautiful eyes were a little surprised, and she immediately nodded: "There are still a lot of things that bother you in the future, as for He Ziren's death...... You don't have to take it personally. ”
Pang Jian left with interest.
Suddenly, he saw that in the pile of rubble in the distance, on the body of the most powerful one-horned rhino corpse, Zhou Qingchen glanced at his direction from a distance.
Zhou Qingchen's eyes were intriguing, which made Pang Jian unclear.
Next, Zhou Qingchen ordered loudly to let the survivors of the Zhou family unload all the utensils and packages carried by the corpses, and move them to the open space in front of the pile of rubbles first.
Let the people in it get busy.
The two Ning family and Zhang Heng, who survived, tied them to the outside and did not enter the stone pile, and used the war horses that did not enter the stone pile to share with the survivors of the Zhou family.
After He Ziren died, Zhou Qingchen unceremoniously took possession of the black war horse he was riding.
Soon horses crossed the rocks, carrying the corpses and the wrapping utensils on the one-horned rhinoceros, and gradually passed through the rubble.
Whether it was Zhou Qingchen or Ning Yao, they didn't show much sadness about the death of the servants in the family.
Maybe they have long been accustomed to this kind of parting of life and death, or maybe those servants have low lives and are not worth their sadness.
Moments later, only the one-horned rhinoceros and the corpse of a servant were still left in the rubble.
The Zhou family and the Ning family had already crossed the pile of rocks, and raised a fire over there to roast meat, ready to continue to go deeper after having a full stomach.
Ning Yuanshan also beckoned Pang Jian over, hesitated, and Pang Jian walked towards them from the other end of the stone pile.
On the way, he felt that there was still a not weak "Xuanyin power" in the stone pile full of corpses, and he had other thoughts in his heart.
"I'll search and see if there's anything left."
In a conspicuous position in the stone pile, Pang Jian shouted loudly towards Ning Yuan Mountain in front of him.
The people who stepped out of the stone pile, hearing Pang Jian's words, only thought that he was not giving up, and wanted to peel off some valuable objects from the bloody land that had been looted.
Everyone didn't care, and let Pang Jian stay in the stone pile, and they discussed the next itinerary while roasting meat around the fire.
"Miss Ning, what's that kid's name?"
Zhou Qingchen turned the wooden pole with the meat skewered, and in the "squeaky" firelight, he looked at Ning Yao opposite with a smile, and said, "You should thank him for helping you kill He Ziren." I heard that this kid is absurd and unreasonable, and his reputation in the He family is not good. ”
"Hehe, although this guy has some cultivation talent, I don't think he is worthy of you, Miss Ning."
Zhou Qingchen said to himself.
"His name is Pang Jian. However, the real person behind the killing of He Ziren was the demon girl who controlled the spirit. Ning Yao said.
"That's right."
Zhou Qingchen smiled strangely, did not dwell on this topic, and said: "The demon girl has no flesh and blood entity, it should be an old guy from the Yin Spirit Temple, a soul alien who has been banned." ”
Touching the angular jaw and looking at the bubbling pieces of meat, he gradually frowned: "The demon girl has just come out, and she is still very weak, so after we broke free from the magic sound, she hurriedly retreated. ”
"Well, next time we see her, she'll definitely be much stronger than she is now." Ning Yuanshan interjected worriedly, "Hey, I don't know what the demon girl came from, she actually set up an array in the stone pile, and let the people of the Yin Spirit Temple pretend to be the cultivators of the Blood Moon, what does she want to do?" ”
"Those corpses in the stone pile, if I knew they were from the Yin Spirit Temple, I wouldn't have entered so early." Han Duping sighed with emotion and said, "Playing with foreign objects like Lingsha is originally an area that Yin Spirit Temple is good at. In that Jedi, as long as there are people in the Yin Spirit Temple, whether they are living or dead, I will be extra careful. ”
Causing so many people to die in it made Zhou Qingchen suffer heavy losses, which made him feel a little guilty.
"Don't blame yourself, no one thought that the corpse of the Yin Spirit Temple would be wrapped in the clothes of the blood moon." Zhou Qingchen comforted a few words, and said: "In my opinion, they wore the clothes of the blood moon before they died. If I'm not mistaken, they must have changed their clothes after killing the Blood Moon. ”
"Well, they're supposed to be dealing with someone else." Ning Yuanshan also agreed.
A group of people were talking outside the stone pile, and the voice was not small.
"The battle that the Yin Spirit Temple fiddled with?"
In the stone pile, Pang Jian, who shrank his figure behind a tall rock, so that Zhou Qingchen and the others could not see it, touched the bronze plate that became hot in his chest, and his eyes were confused.
He had thought that if the mound of stones containing the locking array was man-made, then it might have been his father's doing.
Hearing what those people outside said, he wasn't quite sure.
Lifting the placket of his chest, he looked at the bronze plaque that had not been restored to its original state after it became hot this time.
The bronze door-shaped brand, except for getting very hot, still has no other abnormalities.
But he clearly knew that the reason why he was not affected by the screaming sound and was able to maintain the clarity of his mind was because when the dementor scream sounded, the bronze medal in his chest suddenly heated.
It was this bronze plaque that helped him.
"This thing seems unusual."
He vaguely felt that the only relic left to him by his father probably contained some kind of miracle.
And when he gets hot in the bronze medal, as long as he meditates and comprehends the "Hutian Qi Cultivation Technique", his perception seems to become much sharper.
Like this.
When he calmed down and tried to urge the "Hutian Qi Nourishing Technique", he noticed that the faint "Xuanyin Power" remaining in the stone pile seemed to be emanating from the same direction.
After a moment of silence, he relied on his perceptual ability to begin to search for the source of the "Xuanyin Power" flowing out.
From time to time, he paused to feel and would not move again until he had identified the direction and target again.
Several times like this, he moved to the corner of a stone pile far away from the crowd, and saw a gray-white rock full of cracks.
The faint "power of Xuanyin" escaped from the crack in this rock little by little.
The gray-white rock wasn't too big, and he hesitated for a moment, then reached out to touch the crack in the rock.
In the cracks, a very mellow "Xuanyin power" suddenly flowed out, making his whole body cold.
The pure and majestic "Xuanyin Power" penetrated his body in an instant, causing his flesh and blood to become stiff.
After being shocked in his heart, he hurriedly ran the "Hutian Qi Nourishing Technique", and saw the blue-black "Spirit Pot" visualized in his heart, which instantly incorporated the "Xuanyin Power" that escaped into the flesh and blood.
In his spiritual sea, this extremely extraordinary "Xuanyin power" immediately dissolved with the dregs like "cotton wool".
"Fighting poison with poison?"
Pang Jian was secretly surprised.
He didn't expect that in this inconspicuous broken rock, there was actually a lot of "Xuanyin power", which was also beneficial to him to wash the filth in the spiritual sea.
Outside, the high-minded talk of Zhou Qingchen and others continued.
Pang Jian, who was inside, shrank here, his hand on the part of the crack in the gray and white rock, frantically absorbing the "power of Xuanyin" in it.
I don't know how long it took, the noise outside gradually stopped, and the dross and impurities in Pang Jianlinghai were also cleared a lot by the "power of Xuanyin" in the rocks.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of slowly approaching footsteps.
Without hesitation, Pang Jian lifted the small piece of broken rock and put it on the bamboo basket on his back, and then covered it with a bamboo raft, pretending to search everywhere.
Soon, the tall young master of the Zhou family with a rough demeanor appeared alone.
In Zhou Qingchen's hand, he was also holding a wooden pole full of cooked meat, he handed it to Pang Jian with a smile, and said, "Eat something, and then I will trouble you to lead the way." ”
Pang Jian was a little flattered, but he didn't expect that this person with the highest status would take the initiative to find and deliver meat.
He didn't show any twisting, he took the wooden pole generously, and he opened his mouth to bite it when he was hungry.
The meat in the mouth, although the roast is brown and fat, but the meat is dry and woody, and you need to chew vigorously.
Compared with the meat he made from hunting wild beasts in the forest, the meat given by Zhou Qingchen tasted quite average.
"Don't like my meat doesn't taste good?"
Seeing him frowning, Zhou Qingchen couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said, "We are all cultivators, not cooks, so it's good to be able to make things." ”
Pang Jian shook his head and didn't say anything.
"Listen to Miss Ning, your name is Pang Jian, and you are the nearby Orion." Zhou Qingchen thought for a while, and suddenly said, "If you can leave the Cen Lin Mountain Range alive, are you interested in going to Zhou's house with me?" ”
Pang Jian looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect that this son of the Zhou family would have the heart to recruit him.
"You think about it first, don't rush to give me an answer." Zhou Qingchen smiled and said, "You can also learn about my Zhou Qingchen's personality and my Zhou family's status in this world through this time." ”
"I have average cultivation talent." Pang Jian frowned.
"Talent is just a stepping stone, not everything." Zhou Qingchen waved his hand and said, "When you killed He Ziren, the ruthlessness you showed made me admire very much. ”
With that, he chuckled.
Pang Jian's expression changed drastically.
Zhou Qingchen smiled and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly way, and said, "Although I am in the stone pile, I noticed that He Ziren was looking for trouble with you and twisted you high. When the demon sound screamed, the demon girl hid in the white paper fan and took the lead in launching a spiritual attack on me. ”
"Her sudden attack made me unable to move for a moment, but my perception and consciousness were still there."
"I noticed that none of the spirits took the opportunity to leave the stone pile at that time, so you weren't possessed."
"As for how you got rid of the screaming sound of the magic sound, I really don't understand. But no matter what, I appreciate that you were able to seize that moment of opportunity and dare to kill He Ziren so decisively. ”
"Because you are very young and have a chance to make up for the lack of talent, so I Zhou Qingchen is willing to accept you."
The son of the Zhou family, who took the initiative to show favor, left these words, and after a skewer of roasted meat, he left in style.
Pang Jian bit the meat in his mouth, looked at Zhou Qingchen's tall back, and didn't say anything more.
It wasn't until Zhou Qingchen completely disappeared that he breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the young master of the Zhou family didn't notice the strange stones in the bamboo basket behind him, and he didn't care about He Ziren's death.
