I began to feel uneasy, and Nangong Fanzong soon noticed that something was wrong with my expression, and asked me what was wrong.
I shook my head and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little worried about going to the upper world!"
Nangong Fancong said: "How about I find a way to bring you to our Shenmu tribe? Although it will be troublesome to leave your mark in the upper world, you may have to wait another year or two, but that can guarantee
Absolutely safe?”
I shook my head and said, "Forget it. I have been waiting for several years and I don't want to wait any longer. Besides, we are already in alliance with Zhang Rui. There is no reason to abandon him at this time!"
While Zhang Rui and I were talking, Zhang Rui suddenly stopped at an empty space on the bookshelf.
Then the entire bookshelf fell apart with a "crash". After the bookshelf fell apart, there was a silver necklace with an eight-fold pendant in Zhang Rui's hand. Zhang Rui slowly put the necklace on his neck.
.
After he put on the necklace, Zhang Rui's aura suddenly increased a lot, and I had a vague feeling that he was about to break through the tribulation stage and enter the earthly immortal realm.
But Zhang Rui forcibly suppressed the promotion situation.
This surprised me a little.
Ordinary people would like to be promoted to a higher rank as soon as possible, the sooner the better, but Zhang Rui forcibly suppressed the promotion trend. What on earth was he thinking?
Also, what surprises me the most is that once the opportunity for promotion arises, it is difficult to suppress it unless the opportunity is destroyed. However, Zhang Rui not only suppressed it, but also did not destroy any opportunity. He just destroyed it.
That opportunity has just been postponed.
Zhang Rui's ability to do this must be related to his secret skills of the Wuling clan.
I didn't ask Zhang Rui any questions about the secret technique because I knew in my heart that even if I asked, he wouldn't tell me.
After Zhang Rui's breath recovered, Nangong Fanzong asked out of curiosity: "How do you know how to take out the eight-pole lock?"
Zhang Rui said: "If I say that the Baji Taoist is actually an ancestor of our royal family of the Wuling clan, would you believe it? The description of many things in the Baji Celestial Palace has been passed down from generation to generation among the heirs of our royal family."
"So my third brother only knows about the Baji Lock, but doesn't know how to obtain it. Otherwise, Zhang Xi and the others would have succeeded long ago!"
"What a pity, I am the true heir to the throne of the Witch Spirit Clan!"
The Baji Taoists are all related to the Liu family, the Tang family, and the Xiao family, so those three families also have records related to the Baji Celestial Palace.
Zhang Rui has a very good relationship with the Xiao family and the Tang family, also because the Wuling clan and the Xiao family and the Tang family are family friends.
Putting it this way, it makes sense that the Baji Taoist is a member of the Wuling clan.
I didn't say anything. Zhang Rui adjusted his momentum and said, "Let's leave now!"
I curiously pointed to the floors above and said, "Why don't you go up and have a look?"
Zhang Rui shook his head and said: "There are no treasures upstairs, only dangers. Are you sure you want to go?"
Seeing that Zhang Rui's expression didn't seem to be lying, I shook my head and said, "Then I won't go!"
After all, our current goal is to get the Baji Lock and then plan to go to the upper world. As for other things, try not to mess with them if we can. I don’t want to wait until we get to the upper world.
Someone is still seriously injured.
We have to go to the Upper Realm in the best condition, because there is still a fierce battle to be fought when we reach the Upper Realm and the Dajin Mountain of the Wuling Clan. My intuition is getting stronger and stronger.
Thinking of this, I asked Zhang Rui when he would go to the Upper Realm. He said: "After this year, wait until the ninth day of the first lunar month next year."
I nodded.
Next we went downstairs, and then followed the instructions of the Snake King's remnant soul and left the Baji Tiangong. When we returned to Xiaohuigou, I found that I had forgotten one thing, that is, I did not look for someone to live here.
The old couple, maybe they have been killed.
I looked up again and looked at the Baji Celestial Palace above the rainbow. As the rainbow disappeared, the Baji Celestial Palace also disappeared.
Just when I thought I couldn't find the old couple, I suddenly found two people standing on the edge of the ruins. Those two people were the old couple who lived in Xiaohuigou.
I went over and asked them, and found out that they had indeed been taken away just now, but those people did not kill them, they just sent them to a mountain bag more than ten miles away, and then they couldn't bear to leave their home, so they walked back
.
But they didn't expect that their home would turn out like this after they came back.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Rui reassured the old couple that he would arrange for someone to build a new house for them and they would definitely be able to live in it before winter.
Before we left, we first tidied up a relatively intact house nearby for the couple to live in. Then Zhang Rui arranged for people from the North China Branch to come and build a house for the couple.
Before leaving, we also asked them about the origin of the painting at home, but the old couple were very surprised. They didn't know the existence of the painting at all. It seemed that the painting had nothing to do with the old couple. It should be Zhang Xi
They brought it down from the upper realm. As for whether the painting was made by Kuixing, we will have to wait until we reach the upper realm to know.
After leaving Xiaohuigou, we returned directly to the provincial capital. Zhang Rui, Tang Qing and Xiao Yan went directly back to the Xiao family's family residence, while I, Nangong Fan and Chai Min went back to Cuidi Chunxiao.
When we got here, I contacted Li Guidao and the others and asked them about some arrangements for going to the upper world through Zhang Rui's passage, and also asked them if they smelled any danger.
Li Guidao said: "If it is dangerous, we have already sensed it, but the matter of the Wuling clan should also be resolved. The merging of the Wuling clan from the human clan into the demon clan is a small matter. The entire people of the Wuling clan have been
It’s great to bring the royal clan into ‘hell’, and now the ordinary people of the Wuling clan are almost worse than livestock!”
Listening to Li Guidao's intention, he must be prepared to participate and stand on Zhang Rui's side. In other words, he knows that it is dangerous to go to the upper world with Zhang Rui.
Then Li Guidao asked me: "What's wrong, junior brother, do you want to find another safe way to go to the upper world? Is it through the passage from the Nangong Taoist Shenmu tribe?"
I said, "No, I'm just asking you to see if you know Zhang Rui's plan. As for me, I have already decided to take Zhang Rui's path. Did Zhang Rui tell you about the time?"
Li Guidao said: "The beginning of next year will be the ninth day of the first lunar month!"
I said "hmm".
Li Guidao continued: "Then we will meet at the Xiao family on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year next year!"
After that, Li Guidao hung up the phone.
There are still a few months left, and if the case is not necessary, we are not going to take it, so we stayed in Cuidi Chunxiao for a few days and then prepared to return to Longcheng to practice for a while.
But just when we were about to return, Zhang Rui called me again. I asked him what was going on, and he said, "I just wanted to ask you if you have time recently to accompany me on another case.
"
I asked him what this case was about and whether it was related to going to the upper world.
Zhang Rui said: "It has nothing to do with our passage to the upper world, because all the preparations are almost complete. We just have to wait for the ninth day of the first lunar month next year! But this case has something to do with the upper world!"
I asked what the specific relationship was.
Zhang Rui continued: "It's the demon clan. They have made moves in the lower realms recently, and their scope of activity is within the boundaries of the North China Branch. Their goals are not clear yet, but one thing we can be sure of is that they are hunting for life.
People who are extremely yin, and then plunder their breath and soul!"
"The demon clan claimed to the outside world that those were the extremely evil prisoners who escaped from the Wanji Demon Prison. They said that the last time the Wanji Demon Prison was used by the Wanji Demon Alliance, a loophole appeared, which caused a large number of demon clan prisoners to escape, and those in the lower realm
They are the ones causing trouble."
"But all fools know that the Wanji Demon Prison did not really collapse last time and was repaired in time. Those prisoners cannot escape unless someone deliberately lets them out and sends them to the lower realm."
I nodded and said, "That's true!"
Zhang Rui continued: "So our mission is to search for those monsters in all directions and kill them all to prevent more innocent people from being harmed."
"By the way, the strength of those monsters is generally not very high. Most of them are around Tribulation Tribulation and Earth Immortals. However, they are all good at concealing their magical powers. We need people like you with extremely strong search capabilities."
I nodded and said, "In that case, we can help you, but it's hard to say how many we can catch."
Zhang Ruidao: "Our target is not those little monsters. After some investigation, we have basically determined that there is a leader among those monsters. As long as we catch that leader, it will naturally have a way to summon all the little monsters back to it."
, then we can catch them all in one go!"
I asked the leader what kind of monster it was and what level it was.
Zhang Rui said: "We don't know this yet, but according to the information we got, the leading monster is now in a place called Jiuxiangou in the Taihang Mountains."
I asked Zhang Rui where he got the information.
Zhang Rui said three words: "Qianyingjun!"
I asked Zhang Rui: "Do you have any contact with him?"
Zhang Ruidao: "We don't really have any contact, we just occasionally exchange information."
No matter whether I cooperate with Zhang Rui or Qian Yingjun, I always feel that I will always be the one being used. Their calculations and schemes are so deep that I can't compare to them.
Sometimes, intelligence is no match for experience.
Not hearing my reply, Zhang Rui continued: "Fellow Daoist Chen, don't worry, I really have no substantive dealings with Mr. Qianying, it's just a simple exchange of information!"
I asked Zhang Rui: "When you exchanged information, did you have any information related to me?"
Zhang Rui answered without hesitation: "Yes!"
I suddenly felt like I was betrayed. This Zhang Rui, every time I changed my opinion of him a little bit, he would always do something to make me continue to hate him.
At this time, Zhang Rui said again: "By the way, regarding this monster hunt, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance actually offered to participate. I heard that one of the people in the lower world this time was conducting research on Mai Daoyou's corpse energy.
He has direct contact with Daoyou Mai."
People who study Mai Xiaorou’s corpse energy!? I couldn’t help but become angry in my heart! (To be continued)
