Jiang Wang turned around and came back. Facing the ferocious little girl and the terrifying faces all over the inn, he turned a blind eye and even waved a face away. Under the shocked expression of the enchanting woman, Jiang Wang said with a smile: "I was almost blinded."
The enchanting woman's face turned gloomy again, and she asked again and again: "What are you doing, sir?"
Jiang Wang ignored her, glanced at the little girl who had created a strange scene but made no next move, and waved Yu Xichao back.
The lights in the inn flickered on and off again, and a deep roar sounded.
Even the paintings on the walls seemed to come alive.
Li Shenyuan realized something, but didn't fully grasp the clue.
Jiang Wang said calmly: "Actually, what Yu Xichao said is right. Regardless of whether the mastermind behind the scenes is a nightmare, it is obvious that everything that happened in the inn was purely to scare people. When our power does not seem to work, then It’s naturally difficult to stay calm in the face of all these things.”
"Those two swordsmen acted with the sound of the bell. Killing the strong man and the old man was more like intensifying the weird atmosphere. They returned to their original state with the sound of the bell again, which means that no matter what, they will never really take action against us. That little Girls too."
Jiang Wang looked down at his hands and said, "I even suspect that the power not working here is just an illusion. Although I don't know how it is done, it is essentially to make us fall into a state of anxiety and fear. The inn These people here must have their own lines of action, and the weird atmosphere is getting more and more intense one by one."
Li Shenyuan suddenly said: "In other words, the so-called dream only temporarily traps us and has no lethality at all."
Jiang Wang nodded, looked at the guests with different expressions around him and the paintings on the walls, and said, "Actually, I'm quite curious about the wonderful expressions of the remaining people and the other paintings, but I'm not in the mood to slowly understand this messy inn. , whether it’s a dream or an illusion, it’s time to disappear.”
He looked at the enchanting woman and said: "Everyone here can be touched, but you can't be touched. Are you special, or are you not actually here, just a phantom? But no matter what you are, look at me Can one knife break this illusory world?"
The long night sword was unsheathed, and the whole inn shook violently.
The roar at the end of the depths became more ferocious.
The feeling that wanted to swallow him whole came over again.
But even though I roared and roared, I didn't see anything coming out.
Jiang Wang no longer had any doubts.
In the final analysis, it is still a bluff.
It is to prevent people from taking action due to worries.
Since this whole drama has been put together, the means to counteract his power can only be used a few times at most.
Jiang Wang slashed with his sword, and it was true that even the tables and chairs were not overturned like outside the inn, but as he gathered more powerful power, the inn began to fall apart.
And at the moment when the space was about to be completely shattered, an anxious voice suddenly sounded, "Little friend, stop it!"
Jiang Wang looked startled.
Before he could react, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, the inn disappeared without a trace, and they were standing on the mountain road again, with the small town right in front of them.
In addition, there is Zhao Xiyan.
...
There is only one courtyard in Chaosi Lane.
It is surrounded by walls with mottled bricks and stones. The tops of the walls are covered with moss, and the walls are covered with vines. The surface of the courtyard gate is slightly rough.
This obviously doesn't look like a sect at all.
Jiang Wang silently observed the courtyard, but there was still nothing special about it. The house was simple, and there were a few stone benches and a stone table in the courtyard. Although it was neat, it was also dull.
Su Changluo and Yu Xichao stood quietly.
Li Shenyuan sat upright.
After escaping, Gu Yi returned to his normal state and sat astride a stool in a carefree manner, complementing Zhao Xiyan opposite him.
At this time, the door of the house opened, and an old man appeared. He had deep eyes and gray hair. Although his face did not have many wrinkles, it was full of vicissitudes of life. His clothes were simple and clean. Although there were some wear and tear, he was not shabby at all.
feeling.
Li Shenyuan was stunned.
Jiang Wang always paid attention and cast a questioning look.
Li Shenyuan shook his head in disappointment.
Although I didn't think that Zhao Xiyan's teacher was him at first, I was really sure that it wasn't him, and I still couldn't hide my loneliness.
Jiang Wang frowned slightly, then immediately clasped his hands in salute and said, "Jiang Wang, my dear, pay my respects to my senior."
The old god smiled and waved his hand, took a seat next to Zhao Xiyan, and also motioned Jiang Wang to sit down.
Jiang Wang was not polite and asked, "Is the voice in Nanke Inn the senior?"
He actually asked Zhao Xiyan what was going on right away, but Zhao Xiyan didn't know. She just followed the teacher's instructions and went out to greet him.
The old god nodded and said, "If I hadn't noticed it in time, I would have destroyed that dream with just one strike."
Jiang Wang had too many questions in his mind, but fortunately the old god had taken the initiative to explain: "In the final analysis, it is because of the Qingxuan Department. I caught a nightmare in my early years and kept it all year round. In addition, I also had a little bit of tricks, so I allowed the nightmare to be here." The purpose of setting up a dream outside the town is to prevent people from the Qingxuan Department from coming again. If you are an ordinary person, you will not be able to escape even if you see through the dream. If you are a more powerful person, you can delay it a little so that I can pack up my things and run away in time."
Jiang Wang was slightly stunned.
He asked suspiciously: "If it's just a nightmare, how can it make us sleep without any awareness, and can it neutralize my power twice?"
The old god said: "As I said just now, I have some tricks, but I can only offset it three times."
He pointed at Su Changluo, Yu Xichao and others, "Nightmare itself has the ability to manipulate Monk Baoxue, so no matter what these young men do, it will be useless."
Then he pointed at Li Shenyuan, "This girl used it once, you used it twice yourself, and you used it three times. With your Taoxue peak, you can easily break it."
The old god's eyes were fixed on Li Shenyuan and did not move away, "It is strange to say that the girl only has the cultivation level of Dongming Peak, but she can consume the means I prepared for the monks of Bathing Snow Peak. It is really amazing."
Li Shenyuan frowned and said, "I took action as soon as I fell into the dream. Seniors are so clear. It seems that they didn't realize it later, but watched our performance in the dream early."
The old god laughed and said: "That's true, but after all, I don't know you, and you don't look like people from the Qingxuan Department. I wanted to make further observations, so I didn't rush to speak out or release you. I just followed me. When the apprentice was chatting, he realized that the good-looking boy in the dream was Jiang Wang."
Li Shenyuan seemed to agree with the old immortal's explanation and said nothing more.
Jiang Wangze asked again, "Senior, if you can use nightmares to offset the power of Ba Xue's peak, why should you be afraid of the Qingxuan Department and think about running away?"
The old god spread his hands and said, "What do you think my cultivation level is?"
After all, he was Zhao Xiyan's teacher. Jiang Wang didn't deliberately sense it from the beginning. At this time, he carefully observed it and then said in shock: "Senior, how come you only have the Snow Bathing Realm?"
The old immortal said helplessly: "It's just a fall. The Huangting is covered with dust, and the cultivation level is not advancing but retreating. But after all, I was once in a higher realm. Some special methods are normal, but that's all. If you really encounter the peak of Bathing Snow, As a master, I have no choice but to run away."
Jiang Wang remembered that Zhao Xiyan had said before that her teacher had a hidden illness.
It seems the problem is quite serious.
"Senior, what kind of history do you have with the Qingxuan Department? How did Chaosixiang, where you and Miss Zhao alone got the seal of the Qingxuan Department?"
The old immortal sighed: "It's just an old story, not worth mentioning. Liu Xuanming is dead. Now the Kutan Qingxuan Department is going to re-investigate Chaosi Lane. All I can do is wait and see."
It can be seen that the old immortal is unwilling to say more, but Jiang Wang can probably guess that it will make the old immortal think about running away. Obviously, the problem is not just about the establishment of a clan in Chaosixiang. Liu Xuanming, in addition to his younger brother, temporarily He was confused and helped Xu Zhanghu, but in fact, Qingxuan was still very competent in running orders, so he was not a bad person.
Moreover, before the old immortal falls, the worst he can do is reach the peak of bathing snow, so he shouldn’t be an unknown existence in the world of Sui Dynasty. If
If you choose to escape the world for some reason, there is actually no need to establish a sect. You can still accept disciples, but you don't have to accept hundreds or even thousands of disciples.
Thinking about it carefully, Liu Xuanming would help him, more like providing him with a new identity.
But of course Jiang Wang couldn't guess what was going on.
What is basically certain is that the old god does not want people from the Qingxuan Department to find out his identity, not to mention that his fall will not be unreasonable, there must be a story in it.
He did not directly say anything about asking the old immortal to live in Wanglai Lake in the future. Although Zhao Xiyan was involved, it was difficult to guarantee whether the old immortal would be a huge trouble.
Seeing that they had nothing to say, Li Shenyuan coughed lightly and asked solemnly: "May I ask, senior, who named Chaosi Xiang?"
The old god was a little puzzled, but he still thought about it seriously and said: "I vaguely remember that when I was young, I saw these three words in an old book. It seemed to record the origin of a certain character. It was a long time ago. , I can’t remember clearly, but when I came to live in this alley, an idea flashed in my mind, and I chose this name.”
Li Shenyuan was thoughtful and asked again: "Senior, where did you see that volume of books?"
The old god narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "Shendu."
Jiang Wang and Li Shenyuan both looked startled.
Jiang Wang was surprised that the old immortal might be from the capital of the gods.
Li Shenyuan was very suspicious that the so-called books recording the origin of a certain character were talking about his father. Although according to the old immortal, it seemed to be a long time ago, and the age of the ancient books would only be older.
But this only made her more convinced of one thing, thinking that there would be more clues about her father in the capital of gods.
There may even be people who have met the father.
For example, Cao Chonglin, the national master who lived the longest.
The problem of time will lead to two situations. If the book is what she thinks, the target range will be reduced.
No wonder there are always mistakes on my mother's chessboard...
