Hearing me talking about contacting Zhang Rui, Nangong Fanzong said: "It's up to you. Anyway, it's you who rushes to the upper world to save Mai Xiaorou, not me. Since you are thinking of looking far away from the near, I have nothing to say!"
The road to Li Guidao may be a shortcut, and the road I took may be a bit bumpy, but I feel it is not far, and may even be closer than the road to Li Guidao.
And my Master Li arranged for me to work on the case with Li Guidao and others. The ultimate goal was definitely not to save Mai Xiaorou, but for other things. So I followed them to work on the case. Obtaining information about Mai Xiaorou might help.
rare.
So I'm going to check it out myself next.
We had a pretty comfortable meal during the next meal. Nangong Fanxong didn't say as many words to flatter me as I thought. Instead, I heard a hint of her support for me in what she said afterward.
After dinner, I did not contact Zhang Rui immediately. Instead, I called Li Guidao and said something apologetic.
Li Guidao smiled and said: "Junior Brother Chen, you are worrying too much. I will not be angry because of such a trivial matter. Everyone has his own ambitions and a purpose for living. Master said that everyone has his own purpose.
The path I want to take, including me, I will be separated from my partners one day, sooner or later!"
Hearing Li Guidao say this, I felt much relieved.
We chatted with him for a while and then hung up the phone.
Afterwards, White Wolf Chai Min and Hu Jiashu also went downstairs to rest, but Nangong Fanxong and I didn't say anything more. We chatted for a while and then took a rest.
I didn't sleep much that night because the star map in my mind was extremely active, and the two hundred and fourteen stars kept flickering and changing throughout the night.
And I carefully understood the changes between them. It was not until early in the morning that those changes slowly stopped, and the spiritual power in my body did not improve at all, but only became a little more stable.
When the horoscope stopped changing, it was already the next morning. I didn't go to sleep anymore. I got up and did my morning homework. When I finished drawing the talisman, I found that the talisman I drew was unknown.
The sleep has turned into a purple-level talisman.
I finally made a breakthrough in my magical ability to draw symbols.
I drew ten talismans in one breath, and found that I could actually turn into nine purple talismans out of the ten. The last one made a small mistake and became a blue-level talisman. Otherwise, all ten of them could have become purple-level talismans.
At the same time, I also discovered that with the expansion of the astrological chart, not only my spiritual power has greatly improved, but my mental power has also increased a lot, and the fact that I can draw a purple talisman this time is equivalent to the improvement in my mental power.
There is an inseparable relationship.
Seeing that I had drawn a purple talisman, Nangong Fanhao patted his hands a few times and said, "That's not bad. It's not in vain that the Immortal Talisman Saint gave you a bunch of good talisman drawing tools. You have finally made progress."
I smiled and said, "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist Nangong, for the compliment!"
Nangong Fancong snorted and said, "I'm saying something sarcastic, you can't hear it, you're stupid!"
After breakfast, I called Zhang Rui and asked him if he was free. Zhang Rui immediately smiled on the other end of the phone and said: "Maybe I am not available when others are looking for me, but if Daoist Chen is looking for me, then I am not available."
I will also squeeze out some space, so we will see you at the same place!"
The old place Zhang Rui mentioned was of course Tang Fu Tea House.
Soon the four of us arrived at Tangfu Teahouse. At this time, the owner of Tangfu Teahouse changed again, but this time it was someone we were familiar with - Shangguan Hong.
After saying hello, I first congratulated Shangguan Hongrong for being promoted to the head of this place. She smiled and said, "I should congratulate you, Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Nangong, and Fellow Daoist Hu. You are three of the ten supernatural talents who have come to this Tang Dynasty."
Come to Fu Tea House, my place is really full of glory!"
After a few polite words, Shangguan Hong led us to the private room of the teahouse.
Shangguan Hong said to us: "Everyone, wait here for a moment. Mr. Zhang and the others will have to wait for a while before they can come over. He has some things to prepare!"
Having said that, Shangguan Hong brought us some good spiritual tea, so we were not in a hurry and sipped the tea here while waiting for Zhang Rui and the others to come over.
Zhang Rui didn't let us stay any longer. After more than ten minutes, he and Tang Qing hurried over. As soon as they entered the box door, he first apologized and then said: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. I have something to do over there. I'll be late."
On point!”
Zhang Rui didn't take the initiative to say anything, and I didn't ask.
After Zhang Rui and Tang Qing sat down, I said directly: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I am here this time to learn about some things about the upper realm through your relationship, and then come up with some cases related to the upper realm. It is best to be able to
A case to find a way to the upper world!”
Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment and then said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, are you really planning to cooperate with me this time?"
I said: "Of course!"
Zhang Rui smiled and said: "I'm still not used to it. I begged you to cooperate with me before, but you were unwilling. I didn't expect you to come to me today. It's great. I've always wanted to cooperate with you."
Stay!"
Zhang Rui became a little excited as he spoke.
I said from the side: "I didn't want to work on a case with you before because I was weak and had no background, and you were always hiding your secrets and refused to tell the truth. Naturally, I didn't want to work on a case with you. The situation is different now."
Now, my strength is no longer weak, and with my status as the disciple of the Lord of Supernaturals, I am no longer afraid of what tricks you can use on me!"
Zhang Rui said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are worrying too much. How could I try anything against you?"
Then Zhang Rui directly jumped to the topic and said: "Actually, I have been preparing to return to the upper realm since I arrived in the lower realm. I want to return to the Wuling Clan and take back the things that originally belonged to me!"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you willing to cooperate with me and help me do this? If you are willing to help me, then I swear, I will use the power of the Wuling Clan to help you find out about Mai Xiaorou, and I can even directly
Help you rescue her."
After hearing about Mai Xiaorou, Nangong Fancong's brows furrowed, but they soon relaxed.
I said: "I'm not very strong either. Can I help you on my own?"
Zhang Ruidao: "Of course you can. Needless to say, your status as a disciple of the Lord of Supernaturals is enough to help me a lot!"
Zhang Rui was very excited and spoke very quickly. After he finished speaking, he looked at me eagerly, as if waiting for my affirmative answer.
I thought for a while and then nodded to Zhang Rui and said, "Okay, we are not cooperating now, but we are an alliance!"
Zhang Rui nodded, and then directly pinched the finger of the contract. This shows that the agreement between us has the effect of the contract and is protected by the thunder of oath. Anyone who violates this agreement will be punished by the thunder of oath.
Seeing this, I made one too.
Tang Qing next to him also made one, and Tang Qing also participated?
My companion was also unambiguous and joined in the agreement. Our alliance with Zhang Rui was officially formed.
I asked Zhang Rui what the current situation is like.
He smiled and said: "It's not bad. I predict that next spring, we can go to the upper world and go directly to the Dajin Mountain of our Wuling tribe. There is a passage that has been abandoned for thousands of years. We can sneak in from there.
The upper realm will never be noticed by others, but now that the door is locked, it will be more difficult to open the abandoned passage, and I am afraid that I will have to rely on the power of Fellow Daoist Chen!"
I asked what the power was, and Zhang Rui said: "Chaos Fire!"
I said: "There is no problem with any of this."
Zhang Rui added: "Recently, we have several cases related to the upper realm. I wonder if Daoyou Chen is willing to participate."
I smiled and said: "Since we are an alliance, I will naturally participate in it."
Zhang Rui immediately said: "We have a particularly difficult case right now, which is related to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in the upper world!"
I asked curiously: "Didn't the North China Branch suffer a major purge? Why are there still forces from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"
Zhang Ruidao: "fellow Daoist Chen has misunderstood. It is not the cooperation between the North China Branch and the Ten Thousand Immortals League, but the people from the Ten Thousand Immortals League who have quietly sneaked into our place in North China and left a scourge in recent days!"
I asked what the harm was.
Zhang Rui said: "The people of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance abandoned a man who brought disaster to the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, but we don't know which village it was for the time being. The man who brought disaster has been completely out of control.
He is a scourge in his body, but he is good at hiding himself and always kills people around him in ways that others would not think of. He traveled from the upper realm to the lower realm of Daomen, and his strength was greatly damaged. He has not fully recovered yet. He may kill one or two
But once his strength recovers, he may directly massacre villages, towns, and even cities!"
"So we must find the scourge before he fully recovers!"
I asked what the person's characteristics were.
Zhang Rui said: "I don't know, we just got the news, but it's hard to say what the situation is. Now we can only check all the villages at the southern end of Taihang Mountain where people have died recently, and find out the reasons for those people's deaths, hoping to find some clues.
Bar."
"Now that Fellow Daoist Chen is involved, maybe we can find the source of trouble faster. After all, Fellow Daoist Chen also has the source of trouble. I heard that there are resonances between the sources of trouble!"
I nodded and said, "It's true!"
Zhang Rui continued: "By the way, I also heard one thing. The scourge was previously imprisoned in the same place as Mai Xiaorou and Mai Daoyou and was studied by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!"
"If we find him, we may be able to determine the location of Fellow Daoist Mai in the upper world!"
After hearing what Zhang Rui said, I felt even more that this case must be solved! (To be continued)
