The sky was still bright, and the surrounding environment had not changed much, Lingjun got up from the boulder and found that the formation she had arranged around her before going to bed had expired - this was expected, after all, she had only put a few spirit stones in the formation at that time, and in seven years, the energy must have been consumed long ago.

After waking up, she quickly checked and found that there was no problem with her, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Zong Ke?"

Ling Jun called out in her heart, but she didn't receive an answer, she couldn't help frowning, her divine sense probed into the Moyang jade pendant, only to find that Zong Ke was gone.

She was immediately stunned.

Although there is only a cooperative relationship between her and Zong Ke, there is no deep friendship, but they also escaped from the secret realm of all souls together, and she also promised to send him back to the widow's mansion, but when she woke up, he disappeared?

Zong Ke is just a remnant soul, relying on the Moyang jade pendant to survive, and now that he is gone, has he dissipated, or did he secretly leave?

Ling Jun felt that her mind was full of question marks, but she didn't know where to start, after waiting for three days and still didn't see Zong Ke appear, she had no choice but to put away the Moyang jade pendant, leaving a listening grass in place, leaving the news that she went around to inquire about the situation.

- If Zong Ke left by himself, when he came back and heard the news in Lingyin Cao, he would not be unable to find her.

The place where Lingjun is going is a small mortal city.

As soon as she woke up, her spirit became much stronger, and the scope of her divine sense was greater than before, and this small city was discovered when she woke up to probe the changes around her.

The Divine Sense did not find any cultivator's aura in the small city, but for the sake of caution, Ling Jun still concealed his spirit clan aura and put on a puppet shell, dressing himself in the direction of an "inconspicuous foreigner".

An hour later, she appeared outside the small city called Xihe.

The human race seems to have an innate ability to make their lives lively, which is simply incomprehensible for the demon clan and the spirit clan wood spirit lineage with a particularly strong sense of territory.

Fortunately, Lingjun is a person who has studied in modern society, although he doesn't know the customs here, but he has watched many costume TV series, and he looks decent to play the human race.

The town is quite prosperous, and many villagers from the surrounding mountain villages bring vegetables, fruits and handicrafts to sell in the city, and they also need to pay the entrance fee when entering the city - I don't know where the dynasty collects taxes in such a wild country.

Lingjun wore a hat, disguised as a dusty knight, and even planned to prepare a road guide and a copper coin - and then found that there was no need to check the road guide in and out of the city, and it was not a copper coin used, but a knife coin made of a special material, and the word "Xihe" was still on the knife coin, and the coin was minted without running away.

Using a spell to secretly change the knife coin, Lingjun successfully entered the city, and then followed the flow of people to Changming Street, the most lively and prosperous street in Xihe City.

Along the way, all kinds of shouting, bargaining, and laughter converged into a noisy torrent, and Ling Jun walked around the street for a while, still a little unaccustomed, and then walked to another street.

"It's strange that this small city is so bustling when it's surrounded by wilderness. She wondered in her heart, "Could it be that the place where I used to be is thousands of miles in circumference, and it happens to be a barren land, and after this city, is it a prosperous world?"

In fact, before entering the city, she had already used her divine sense to investigate, there were indeed many villages and towns around Xihe City, and further away, there were several cities that were no less large than Xihe City.

- Everything looks normal.

But her intuition told Lingjun that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and a sense of crisis lingered in her heart for a long time, so that she could not let go of her heart.

She was full of vigilance, and she also collected a lot of information while wandering along the way.

The area was a "city-state" - as it probably meant it, each city was independent of each other, there was no emperor at the top, the lord was the largest, there were many armies under his command, and occasionally there would be wars between several cities.

In addition to war, the biggest threats to the lives of the people here are natural and man-made disasters and ferocious beasts that occasionally run out of the barren mountains and mountains nearby.

Occasionally, they would chant the names of some gods and beg for mercy from the heavens, but few people really believed in them, and the incense in the temples in the city was not at its peak, and most of them were more willing to spend money to please the lords of the city lord's mansion.

A normal ancient society without "supernatural powers" seems to be fine.

Ling Jun decided that if she didn't find a problem after she went to the City Lord's Mansion, she would go to the other cities and have a look—if it was all right, then she might as well wander around first.

As a spirit clan who has been at home for I don't know how many years, has never gone out alone, and doesn't even know what the outside world is, Ling Jun ...... It's really hard to get started.

Before she knew it, she was walking through an alley to another street, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a long line.

"Huh?"

Lingjun became interested, swept his senses, and found that these people were all waiting to buy buns from a "conscience bun shop".

"What's so good about the buns?"

She is also a spirit clan (relying on Yanxi X children) who have eaten steamed buns, and she doesn't think that steamed buns are extremely delicious.

After taking a few glances, Ling Jun retracted his gaze and decided to go directly to the City Lord's Mansion for a day trip.

But just as she was about to turn in the other direction, an inexplicable ...... suddenly appeared in an alley opposite Extremely intimate.

Her footsteps stopped.

"This feels ......" Ling Jun felt it for a moment, "It's like a wood spirit, but there are some differences, could it be that the wood spirit is a descendant of the human race, or is it a human monk who plundered the origin of the wood spirit to practice evil arts?"

She felt a pang in her heart, and hurriedly hid her breath and looked towards the alley.

A young man dressed in a fancy costume walked out of the alley, his eyebrows were picturesque, his demeanor was elegant, like a handsome boy who came out of the book, no matter how well Steward Liu disguised it, if he stood beside him, he could also teach people to distinguish the high at a glance.

It seems that such a person should appear in the pavilions and pavilions of the nobles of the family, flowing and bending the water, feeling nostalgic and endowed with poetry, rather than looking left and right like a little fool who has never seen the world, blinking with a pair of smart and pure eyes as if he can't see enough.

If it weren't for the breath of the wood spirit from him, Lingjun would have regarded him as the kind of rich boy in the TV series who was raised by a deep woman and never stepped out of the house alone, but now...... She only felt that this person was more like a trap set for her.

But Lingjun still took the bait.

She urgently needs to know where she is, what the situation in the mountain and sea realm is now, how she should retrieve the Xuanming Sword - in this mortal world, the person in front of her seems to be the only breakthrough, and there will be no such shop after this village.
