At the end of the Si Dynasty, Guanghan County Government.
It was already midnight, and there was no one in the county government office except for a few night guards.
But just outside the door of a dark room hidden underground, Chu Xianping was pacing back and forth in the dark passage, looking at the tightly closed door from time to time, with a worried expression on his face.
"..."
"Senior, are you sure this won't be noticed?"
In the dark room, Wei Changtian's expression was not as nervous as Chu Xianping's, and even seemed a little excited.
He glanced at the copper leak in the corner, and then looked at the Xuantian Sword suspended in the corner of the room.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought senior wanted to possess me or something."
"Possessed?"
Remnant Soul's tone was a bit irritable: "If you can possess someone, why would I end up in this broken sword?"
"Boy, are you making fun of me?!"
"Uh...that's right."
Wei Changtian touched his nose and said with a sneer: "Senior, don't mind. I just think that a master like you should have great powers, so I am inevitably a little disappointed at the moment."
"..."
"By the way, senior, wouldn't it be boring if you stayed in the Xuantian Sword for so long?"
"..."
"What do you usually do? Sleep? But you are just a remnant soul. Can you sleep?"
"..."
"Senior, why don't you speak?"
"..."
The engraved needle of the copper leak was getting closer and closer to midnight, and the atmosphere in the room was relaxed a lot by Wei Changtian.
He actually intended to make a joke with Remnant Soul just now.
After all, this time he was pretending to be the elder of Kui Long. If it was revealed, the fate of both of them would be extremely miserable.
And at this time, the nerves should not be too tense, otherwise it will be very easy to be exposed due to nervousness.
That's why Wei Changtian deliberately made fun of Remnant Soul, in order to relieve himself and Remnant Soul's uneasy mood at this time.
Then......
"Snapped."
The blue-white jade pendant was gently placed on the table in front of him, and Wei Changtian's tone gradually became serious.
He glanced at the Xuantian Sword in the corner and took a breath.
"Senior, the time has come."
...
...
"call!"
Butterflies in dreams, clouds, moon and earth.
When countless spiritual lights rise and intertwine in the air, forming the appearance of magic patterns; when everything in the dark room disappears and is replaced by a misty black mist; when four fuzzy black figures appear one after another in the black mist...
...Wei Changtian's heartbeat seemed to pause for a beat.
Even though Remnant Soul had already described this scene to him, the impact of seeing it with his own eyes still made him feel dazed for a moment.
It's really too fantasy.
Can "VR chat" be realized by just using a token?
At this moment, although Wei Changtian knew that everything he saw was illusion, he still couldn't help but turn his head and look around.
Thick fog surged up from the surrounding illusory places, forming wisps of mist like black veils.
Including himself, five black figures stood on the five corners of a non-existent pentagon, about a few feet apart from each other.
Then, five stone platforms of different colors suddenly emerged from the soles of the five people's feet, lifting each of the five people a few inches.
Green, red, white, black, yellow.
Looking at these few touches of the only color in the black mist, and looking at the black platform under his feet, Wei Changtian thought to himself that this Kuilong Token actually used Taoist magical powers.
The number five is very important in Taoism.
There are not only the five colors of "green, red, white, black and yellow", but also the five elements of "metal, wood, water, fire and earth", the five immortals of "heaven, gods, earth, humans and ghosts" and so on.
Of course, none of this matters.
The key thing is that as Remnant said, Wei Changtian really couldn't see the appearance of any black shadow.
Including body shape, clothing, height, height, fatness, and thinness, all were blurred by the black mist, making it impossible to see through.
Good guy!
Forget about VR video conferencing, does it actually have an automatic mosaic function?
No wonder these elders can't know each other's identities...
Wei Changtian curled his lips and thought quickly in his mind, but said nothing.
Since I am an imposter, I must say as little as possible to avoid saying anything wrong and others noticing that something is wrong.
Others seemed to be waiting for something, until the black figure standing in the "green" position slowly spoke softly:
"Quietness, noise, and silence are the same thing. There is no talk of dreams in dreams."
What does it mean?
What are you doing here?
Since others couldn't see his expression anyway, Wei Changtian didn't hide it, and his face was filled with confusion for a moment.
However, before he could think about it carefully, he heard two black figures standing on the red platform and the white platform say in turn:
"Floating as if left behind in the world, becoming an immortal and ascending to immortality."
"A hundred years of great and prosperous events pass by like a dream."
"..."
Obviously, it is not a "poetry conference" right now, so this group of people can only be doing one thing -
That's the secret code.
Damn it, are you so cautious?
Remnant Soul didn’t say anything in advance!
What's more important is that now it seems like it's my turn...
Is this damn thing about to be exposed before it even begins?
Wei Changtian was furiously cursing Remnant Soul's unreliability in his heart, and then he heard a voice that seemed to come from outside the black mist.
"The solitary crane's words are spoken by thousands of years of beauty, and the cicadas are chirping in the night of a dream in the world."
"Um?"
Subconsciously raising his head, Wei Changtian heard the voice of the remnant soul.
So the latter can actually observe what is happening in the black mist? And can he also transmit sounds to himself?
After looking at the other four who didn't seem to have heard this sentence, and were just waiting for the dark shadow of the code, Wei Changtian no longer hesitated and repeated immediately:
"The lone crane's words are spoken by thousands of years of beauty, and the cicadas are chirping in the night of a dream in the world."
"..."
"First you can understand worldly things, and then you can speak in tongues and transcend the world."
Soon, the dark figure standing on the yellow platform received the last code, which also showed that the reminder of the residual soul was correct.
It’s okay, I didn’t cheat myself.
Wei Changtian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but Wei Changtian remained silent.
Black mist rolled in, and finally the silence was broken by the black shadow on the blue stone platform.
"Elders, this discussion was proposed by Zhuang Zhiming, the helmsman of the third quarter."
"Now I will tell you about the general matters first..."
"..."
The matters of the Council of Elders must be proposed by Kuilong members at the helmsman level, but Remnant Soul had mentioned this in advance.
However, what Wei Changtian is more concerned about now is the two pieces of information, Bing San Ruo and Zhuang Zhiming.
The Presbyterian Council proposed by Bing Sanrui was obviously about Qin Zhengqiu.
As for Zhuang Zhiming... I seem to have heard this name somewhere.
Wei Changtian frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't recall it immediately, so he gave up for the time being and focused his attention on "Elder Qing" who was speaking.
"..."
"...that's basically what happened."
"The identity of this person, Zhuang Zhiming, has been found. His name is Qin Zhengqiu. He was the leader of Tianluo Sect before."
"He reached the late stage of the second level a few years ago and has not changed since then."
"But just a few months ago, he suddenly went to Fengyuan, the capital of Dafeng, and used a rather weird sword technique there."
"After that, he disappeared until he reappeared in Daning Shuzhou eleven days ago..."
