Chapter XV. Investigation
After becoming a casual cultivator, it is troublesome, and even the investigation of this kind of thing has to be done by yourself. Zhang Zhiping shook his head helplessly, his arrival did not attract anyone's attention except for a few monks who looked up. A monk in the early stage of foundation building is really inconspicuous here, because the weakest strength that can come here is in the early stage of foundation building, and those monks in the Qi cultivation period can only stay in the sailor area as ordinary crew members, but they can't enter the demon hunting hall.
Zhang Zhiping glanced at the situation in the hall, did not mean to talk to these people, and directly found a waiter in the hall and asked: "A friend of mine disappeared when he joined the hunting team five years ago, I don't know how to inquire about him?"
This kind of official location naturally has formal procedures and rules, and they may not be able to do it when they go to sea, but on the island, these little things are right for them. Although immortal cultivators pursue leisure, as long as there are many people, there must always be some rules and constraints, after all, this is a perfect world, and many practical problems will inevitably be encountered.
The attendant was a Qi cultivation period cultivator who had received good training, and when he heard this, he immediately said without humility or arrogance: "There are records in the hall that can access the information of relatives and friends, but the seniors need to prove that they have a close relationship with the person under investigation. ”
When Zhang Zhiping heard this, he thought about it and said, "I came to Lingyuan Island with him eight years ago, there should be records on the island, I don't know if this is okay?"
The waiter nodded and said, "This matter needs to be decided by the warden, senior, please come with me." After speaking, he led Zhang Zhiping to a side hall.
The side hall looks inconspicuous on the outside, but after entering the interior, it is found that the inside is neatly planned, and in the center, there is a huge thing like an armillary sphere, on which a large amount of graphic information is projected, and at a glance, it looks like the future technology of the previous life.
This is a phantom instrument.,The function can be regarded as a combination of computers、Projectors、Printers, etc.,Qingsongmen also has something similar.,It's just that his research has been biased towards spells.,I haven't studied it.,When you have time in the future.,You can study it.。 Immortal cultivators are not much inferior in their previous lives in terms of creativity, but these things are all based on aura, which are for immortal cultivators, and have not been popularized to mortals.
There were also a few monks scattered in the side hall, all of whom came to inquire about relatives and friends like Zhang Zhiping, and the waiter led Zhang Zhiping to a foundation-building monk next to the phantom shift, and then said: "Wang Dianshi, this senior also came to check his friend's records." ”
Wang Dianshi's name is Wang Shouyi, he looks like a Confucian scholar, after listening to the waiter's words, he looked at Zhang Zhiping again, and asked, "Can Your Excellency prove your relationship with the person who inquired?"
Zhang Zhiping nodded, took out the identity token and said: "The person who wants to check it next is named Wu Yong, we came to Lingyuan Island together eight years ago, I don't know if this is okay?"
As soon as Wang Shouyi took the token and put it in the phantom instrument, a layer of projection immediately appeared in front of him, but the rest of the people couldn't see it. Zhang Zhiping's information was recorded on it, Wang Shouyi checked it, and then said: "According to the records, Your Excellency and Wu Yong are friends, and I can only relay some of Wu Yong's records." ”
The rules on the island are pretty strict in this regard. Seeing this, Zhang Zhiping asked directly: "My friend Wu Yong disappeared from the hunting team five years ago, I want to know if there is any news about this?"
Wang Shouyi didn't procrastinate, called up the information to check it, and then said: "According to the records, the hunting team that Wu Yong participated in five years ago suddenly encountered high-level sea beasts and suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, only two monks returned to Lingyuan Island, unfortunately, Wu Yong was not among them. ”
Sure enough, there was an accident, Zhang Zhiping raised his eyebrows, but he didn't believe that Wu Yong's human spirit would die so easily, so he asked, "Can you tell me where the two monks who came back are?"
Wang Shouyi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this matter requires the consent of the other party before I can tell Your Excellency." "This kind of thing, if it is an acquaintance, it is just a matter of one sentence, but he has no relationship with Zhang Zhiping and has no reason, so he will naturally do business.
Without an acquaintance, it's really inconvenient to do anything. After staying away from Qingsong Gate, Zhang Zhiping realized how rare many things he was accustomed to before, looking at Wang Shouyi, who did not have the slightest sense of accommodation, he didn't dare to use other means here, Lingyuan Island's forbidden defense system was not vegetarian, so he could only say helplessly: "Since this is the case, then please trouble Wang Dianshi to help contact those two." ”
Wang Shouyi didn't mean to embarrass Zhang Zhiping, and used the phantom instrument to send the news directly. Originally, Zhang Zhiping had no hope, but he didn't expect that only half an hour later, news came from the other party, Wang Shou looked at it one by one, and said: "Hey, Your Excellency is lucky, one of the monks did not retreat, and also agreed to meet with Your Excellency. After speaking, he told Zhang Zhiping the location of the cave where he responded to the monk.
Zhang Zhiping, who unexpectedly received a response, was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, wrote down the cave of the person who responded, and then said: "There is a ceremony for King Lao." "Although this Wang Dianshi just rejected him once, he has done a good job of being able to do business.
When Wang Shou heard this, he showed a smile and said, "It's just a trivial matter, Your Excellency should go and find your friend." ”
Once born, two times mature, in the future, I will live on Lingyuan Island permanently, maybe when I will have to deal with this Wang Shouyi, he is not an arrogant person, it is naturally good to have more friends. So Zhang Zhiping chatted with Wang Shouyi for a few words, and then left the Demon Hunting Hall and went to the cave of the person who responded, Hua Haitang.
The cave of Hua Haitang is in the Yuhai City area at the foot of Zangling Mountain, and the entrance of the cave is a sea of flowers in various forms, and there is a first-order spirit insect White Jade Peak "buzzing" in it, collecting nectar, which is obviously domesticated. Zhang Zhiping while enjoying the scenery, while walking unhurriedly to the cave at the end of the sea of flowers, five years have passed, and it is too late to have any accidents, so think about how to inquire about the news.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the cave, the ban was automatically opened, and a female cultivator walked out, looking at Zhang Zhiping, who was looking at her, her lips opened, and she said with a smile: "This is Zhang Daoyou, the concubine is a flower begonia, and I have seen a Taoist friend." ”
Hua Haitang looks like a glamorous nun in her thirties, gorgeously dressed, charming and seductive. Zhang Zhiping felt her cultivation, in the later stage of foundation building, her strength should not be weak, no wonder she can become one of the last survivors. After hearing Hua Haitang's words, he immediately replied: "Poor Dao Zhang Zhiping, I have seen Hua Daoyou." ”
After the two sides saw each other, Hua Haitang's body was slightly sideways, her right hand greeted, and said with a smile: "I heard that Zhang Daoyou came here for Wu Daoyou's matter, and there have been a lot of changes in this matter, and I also invited Daoyou to come in to discuss in detail." ”
Looks like it's not that easy. Zhang Zhiping's heart moved slightly, and when he had more guesses, he didn't refuse, his expression was straight, and he said, "Then disturb the flower friends." After speaking, he followed the smiling Hua Haitang into the cave.
The various decorations in the cave are extremely exquisite, obviously Hua Haitang has put a lot of thought into it, she enthusiastically introduced the various landscapes in the cave to Zhang Zhiping, and led Zhang Zhiping to the depths of the cave, Zhang Zhiping raised his eyebrows slightly, and some couldn't figure out the movements of the flower begonia, this flower begonia, some enthusiasm was excessive.
Zhang Zhiping secretly raised a trace of vigilance in his heart, and soon followed Hua Haitang to the living room, the two sides sat down, and a maid walked up to the side and served a pot of fragrant tea to Zhang Zhiping. Hua Haitang picked up a cup of fragrant tea, with a hint of pride, and said enthusiastically: "This is a hundred flowers tea carefully cultivated by the concubine, which has a lot of taste, Zhang Daoyou might as well try it." ”
What tricks is this flower begonia playing? Zhang Zhiping's heart turned, but he did not refuse, and said: "Oh? In this case, Poor Dao should try it." After speaking, he picked up the Baihua tea and smelled it first, then took a sip and exclaimed: "The flavor of the hundred flowers, fragrant but not strong, is really a good tea, and the Baihua tea of flower friends can be called a must." ”
Hua Haitang covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, but Zhang Zhiping changed her words at this time and continued: "I'm just worried about the safety of my friends, and I don't want to taste tea, I don't know if I can tell you what happened back then?"
