Zhang Yan did not leave far, and walked around the village less than five miles away. After confirming that there were indeed no ghosts hiding around, he came back. However, he did not show up directly, but sent a message to two people.
The two children said that he wanted to be vigilant in the outer circle and let the two children act on their own.
Of course, this was just a test and observation. Zhang Yan did not turn his back on them, but secretly observed the two children where they could not be found.
Having good talent does not mean that you will be successful in practice. There are many invisible key factors that will affect it. Among them, "resilience" and "calmness" are also related to how much the monk's potential can be realized.
Especially after knowing that the water in the Wild Sky Realm was much deeper than what he had seen before, Zhang Yan also consciously wanted to train his disciples so that they would not be destroyed before they became talented.
Under Zhang Yan's gaze, the two little kids did not disappoint him. Although Wang Nian, a naughty monkey, was very naughty, he was really able to stand up to it at this time, and he was obviously even more disturbed by the surrounding environment.
The fearful Yang Rui is gradually adapting instead of becoming more and more afraid.
Even when Wang Nian found an abandoned, half-collapsed wooden house that looked like a woodshed, perhaps because they were far away from the graves, the two children still had smiles on their faces.
He randomly found a pile of firewood and lit it with his own fire method. Even though the weather at this time did not require a bonfire, the fire brought great encouragement and comfort to the two children, especially Yang Rui.
The fearful look that covered his whole body was almost gone from that little face.
"Brother Shitou, do you think ghosts will come tonight?"
"I don't know. But I do hope they can come. If we can save a few ghosts, our practice will be much faster. The teacher said that it is called "merit aura" and it is a reward given by this side of the Desolate Heaven Realm to thank us for getting rid of the cancer in the world.
I think if I can save two or three fierce ghosts, then it will be absolutely fine in the middle stage of the Qi Entraining Realm!"
Wang Nian fiddled with the bonfire in front of him with a smile, and some spiritual energy emerged from his hands from time to time. He used fire control to pull out the flames in the bonfire, and then entangled and changed in mid-air, and sometimes even turned into something like
A pattern with silhouettes that look like cats and dogs.
"Brother Shitou, your fire control skills are really amazing! Can you teach me?"
"Hey, do you know how powerful it is? But I can't teach you this. I'm still far behind. Besides, the teacher has said that everyone has different preferences for the five elements. I have a wild temper and am suitable for fire magic. You are so quiet and quiet. I guess it's better.
If you don’t know the fire method, the teacher should give you some guidance when you go back this time.”
Wang Nian rarely calls Zhang Yan "brother" now, and always calls him "teacher". It seems that he doesn't want to look strange among his three classmates.
"Then if a ghost comes, will we be discovered?"
"Discovered? I have two Qi Condensing Talismans attached to my body, how could I still be discovered? Then I will take you to take a good look at those ghosts..."
It didn't take long for the two kids to start chatting. Of course, Wang Nian, the chatty one, was mainly talking, and Yang Rui sat aside to listen. When the sky started to get dark, Wang Nian took out a big steamed bun from his arms and held a small wooden stick.
Thread them through sticks and roast them until soft, then give half to Yang Rui, and the two of them have a dinner. During the period, the two of them seemed to be chatting about something happy and laughing happily.
If all of this were to be in another scene, it would be quite heartwarming, and at least it would make people laugh from the bottom of their hearts. But in this dead mountain village, it doesn't fit.
Zhang Yan, who had witnessed all this, stood on the top of a big tree a few feet outside the cabin where Wang Nian and the others were, feeling quite satisfied. Monks, even as children, should not be afraid of ghosts. Wang Nian
Pihou's performance is worthy of a senior brother. And Yang Rui also adapted quickly.
"Huh?" Zhang Yan was watching the two children laughing and playing around the campfire. Suddenly something seemed to catch his attention, and he quickly turned his head towards the northwest of the village. Then Zhang Yan ducked and disappeared.
Less than a cup of tea after Zhang Yan disappeared, the two children who were still laughing by the campfire also sensed something was wrong.
"Brother Shitou, I feel like something is not right! In my perception, the yin energy here is rising unusually."
"Well! It's not just Yin Qi, there's also Yin evil! It's a ghost coming!"
Compared to Yang Ruicai, who had just entered the Qi-Entraining Realm, Wang Nian's perception was naturally more sensitive and broader. He found that the Yin Qi in the village was not only rising rapidly, but also a Yin evil aura that he had seen before was spreading turbulently from the outside.
, he was sure that a ghost was coming. And it was already very close.
"Hurry up, little wood, open your yin and yang eyes! Be alert!"
"Well! But where is the teacher?"
"The teacher has his own reasons. Maybe he is watching us from the side. My father used to do the same thing when he was training me to chop firewood. He said he was gone, but in fact, I don't know where the cat was watching." Wang Nian said.
Curling his lips, Skinny Monkey has always been more clever and clever than the honest boy Yang Rui. He explained Zhang Yan's test to them in one sentence.
"Ah? Brother Shitou, are you saying that the teacher is testing our ability to deal with ghosts?" Yang Rui suddenly felt a little nervous. After all, it is a test. If Zhang Yan is not satisfied with the results, will he be expelled from the school?
ah?
"That's probably what it means. Are you scared?"
"No, I'm just a little nervous."
"It's nothing to be nervous. I'm nervous too, but ghosts are all paper tigers. We as cultivators have the power to conquer them. We work together and take care of each other, so nothing can go wrong!"
As he spoke, Wang Nian took away the flames on the bonfire. When he turned his palms over, there was no trace of fire anymore.
"Let's go! Let's go out and take a look!"
The two little kids, one behind the other, really emboldened each other to walk out of the house and cautiously ventured forward in the dark, dead village.
"The universe borrows the law and is as urgent as the law! Chase evil!"
This time it was Yang Rui who took action. Although his cultivation level was not as good as Wang Nian's, the evil-chasing talisman could still be used normally, and he also intentionally wanted to actually participate in this "test", otherwise, if something happened
What should I do if I get a "bad review" even if I don't do anything? In Yang Rui's heart, Xiao Jiujiu also knows how to calculate.
This time, the evil-chasing talisman did not become unresponsive and burned out before falling into ashes like before. Instead, as if being pulled by something, it paused in mid-air for a moment and then flew unhurriedly in one direction. The following two
A little kid quickly followed.
He didn't go very far after following the evil-chasing talisman. In less than twenty breaths, Wang Nian grabbed the evil-chasing talisman flying in front of him and destroyed it. At the same time, he pressed Yang Rui's shoulder behind him, and the two said nothing.
The hair was hidden behind a low wall.
ghost!
Yang Rui followed the direction of Wang Nian's finger and his eyes widened. In his yin and yang vision, he saw a large group of ghosts numbering no less than 20 floating over quickly from outside the village.
