"Return to Zen?" Tao Xue sat in the room, looking slightly stunned. The guy who likes to talk about some great truths all day long has not seen each other for almost two hundred years. "He actually came to Lancheng, the northern border. I wonder if the old guy can still sit still." Tao Xue said with a smile. The movements in his hands did not stop, and Ken quickly brewed a pot. Tea, and then walked towards the door with a small purple clay pot.
Just when Tao Xue opened the door, Gui Chan happened to appear at Lin Zihan's door. Lin Yafeng and Xia Ming didn't even notice how Gui Chan walked to Lin Zihan's door. They just blinked and found themselves in Lin Zihan's room. A man dressed in traditional Chinese clothing was already standing in front of the door.
"We haven't seen you for so long, why are you still wearing such tatters?" Tao Xue started to joke as soon as he saw Gui Chan. Even Fu Tu, who was still stunned just now, had a smile on his lips. If he said Among the seven shadow sects, whoever has the most kind face and kind heart must be Gui Zen who believes in cause and effect, good and evil.
Although Gui Zen's name sounds like that of a monk, Gui Zen failed to enter the state of Zen after all. Therefore, Gui Zen was just a yearning for the state of Zen, but he did not truly understand the state of Zen.
"I am an idle person, why should I dress so luxuriously." Gui Chan saw Tao Xue teasing him, and he was not angry. He just said slowly, his tone was soft and gentle, not like the words that penetrated the floor just now. The sound is no longer as shocking as a splashing waterfall, but like a slow stream.
"..." Tao Xue was speechless for a moment. Although 2 Gui Chan was kind to others, his words were always powerless to refute. He always used a very gentle tone, leaving others speechless.
Gui Chan's appearance is not as old-fashioned as Fu Tu and Tao Xue, who already have white hair and wrinkles. Instead, he looks like he is in his prime, with no trace of time on his face and a smile on his lips.
"Okay, okay, we are all old friends. I'd better introduce you to our Long Zi first." Fu Tu said with a smile, walked quickly to Gui Chan's side, and directly opened the door of Lin Zihan's room. .
"Formal introduction, this bald man who looks like a monk is the most profound scholar of our Shadow Sect, Gui Zen, also known as the Lord of the Domain." Fu Tu introduced generously, Lin Zi Even though Han was Long Zi, he was still a student trained by himself. It was himself who gave him a solid foundation in Longcheng, so Fu Tu naturally did not have as many concerns as Tao Xue.
At this time, Tao Xue said nothing. He knew in his heart that Lin Zihan's attitude towards Ying was not very good. Tao Xue didn't know the purpose of Gui Chan's visit this time, so he naturally didn't say much and just chose to remain silent. He stood aside quietly, watching Lin Zihan's attitude.
Holding the purple clay pot in his right hand, Tao Xue brought the spout to his mouth, tilted his head slightly, his Adam's apple bulging, the gentle tea circulated in Tao Xue's mouth, and flowed directly through the esophagus into Tao Xue's mouth. In the stomach.
"The tea in this hotel is actually new, and it tastes pretty good." Tao Xue noticed the strangeness of several people. After Fu Tu finished the introduction, Lin Zihan sat there without saying a word, and Gui Chan also stood there. Motionless, as if time has stood still.
"Ahem~" Even Su Yu couldn't hold back the weird atmosphere. Perhaps it was too depressing, or perhaps he wanted to ease the quiet atmosphere, so Su Yu coughed a few times.
"Did Xuan Yu ask you to come, or...?" Seeing Gui Chan's silence, Lin Zihan stopped being silent and took the initiative to break the stiff situation. He whispered, although his tone was not very vicious, But it's also chilling.
"Actually..." Seeing Lin Zihan ask this, Tao Xue felt relieved, and then started to speak, but when the words came to her lips, she stopped and looked at Gui Chan.
"I was looking for Xuan Yu. He told me you were here, so I came." Gui Chan spoke honestly and had no intention of covering up his whereabouts. Instead, he was honest with Lin Zihan.
"You are a real person and don't hide anything. Since you have found Xuan Yu, you should know my attitude towards Xuan Yu and Ying. You should not come to me again!" Lin Zihan said through gritted teeth. In Lin Zihan's heart, Xuan Yu is a villain who only knows how to plot and plot behind his back, and only plans to plot against himself step by step.
"No matter what, he is the person who saved your life. You shouldn't be so hostile to him." Gui Chan obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet, so he continued to speak softly, with a eloquent tone. , It didn’t seem like he was deliberately irritating Lin Zihan.
"Because he saved me, I have never done anything with him. I just don't like the feeling of being monitored for everything, and I don't like being used as a tool and calculated by others." Lin Zihan was not furious at this time, but instead It's about restraining the resentment in your heart, the seeds of hatred buried deep in your heart.
"In that case, I think we can still talk. After all, I think you may have some misunderstandings about Xuanyu." Gui Chan continued, quite like he was going to be Xuanyu's lobbyist.
At this time, Tao Xue and Fu Tu could no longer hold back. They thought that returning to Zen was simply to meet a friend, and then to meet Long Zi, whom Zeng Ying had been pursuing. What was the inheritance of Long, but they had no idea. Unexpectedly, Gui Chan, who had never cared about such trivial matters, was actually helping Xuan Yu speak, as if he wanted to persuade Lin Zihan.
"Is it possible that you plan to be Xuan Yu's lobbyist, to persuade me to accept Xuan Yu's arrangement, to be your Ying's tool, to lift the so-called veil for you, and to touch the Star Attendant who is even invincible to the Dragon Clan?" Lin Zi Han asked back, his tone was one part self-deprecating and seven parts dissatisfied.
"I think we should wait until later..." Tao Xue saw that the situation had begun to develop in an uncontrollable direction. Both he and Fu Tu knew that Lin Zihan was dissatisfied with Xuan Yu's arrangement and did not want to be just a shadow supporter. Dragon puppet.
"That's not true. It's your decision how to choose. I just want to tell you the facts. As for the future path, I think your choice represents Ying's choice, and Xuanyu has no right to interfere." Gui Chan said , suddenly changed the subject, and seemed not to be a real lobbyist.
After hearing Gui Chan's words, Lin Zihan couldn't tell for a while what kind of medicine was being sold in Gui Chan's gourd, but he felt that things seemed not that simple.
"By the way, I have some bad news to tell you. After knowing your identity as a dragon, the senior officials of the Empire Federation have sent out twelve top assassination teams to capture you alive or directly kill you." Gui Chan saw Lin Zihan There was some doubt in his eyes, and he said slowly.
"Are we going to take action after all?" Fu Tu murmured to himself, looking nervous, and his left hand was trembling slightly, as if something big was about to happen.
Lin Zihan, who just turned a blind eye to Gui Chan, slowly turned his eyes, staring at Gui Chan's face with a pair of black eyes, trying to see what was going on in Gui Chan's heart, but all he saw was a picture of Gui Chan. A calm face, calm without any emotion.
"The Imperial Federation attacked me? Why? Du Zhong, the commander of the Northern Territory Supervisory Army, just left." Lin Zihan expressed the question in his heart, and his peripheral vision fell on Fu Tu's left hand, and he happened to see Fu Tu trembling. His left hand seemed to be afraid of something.
Is it possible that the Empire Federation is more terrifying than the Shadow Sect? In recent years, Lin Zihan has heard rumors about the decline of the empire, and what he has seen is that the four major border areas are becoming more and more rampant, vigorously developing the military, ignoring the empire's taxes, etc. It seems that the whole world is saying The Xingyu Empire has fallen.
"Actually, they are not just targeting you. A long time ago, the Empire Federation wanted to win over Ying. We worked together to study the history of dragons, find the origin of dragons, and explore the remains of the dragon clan, but Xuan Yu refused.
Because Xuan Yu believes that the inheritance of shadows originated from dragons, what we should be looking for is the dragon son, following the history of the dragon clan, looking for the Star Attendant, and exploring cosmic affairs like the dragon originally did, rather than studying the dragon's powerful body and being ahead of the times. science and technology. Gui Chan said softly. Neither Tao Xue nor Fu Tu mentioned this matter.
"The bottom line is that Xuan Yu still regards me as a tool, a tool to inherit the dragon clan's will." Lin Zihan said with a bitter smile. He thought that Gui Chan would tell him that Xuan Yu had something unspeakable, but he did not expect that he would still use such words. .
"That's because Xuan Yu's original intention is biased. Since you are the descendant of the dragon, then your will is the dragon's will, and what we impose on you is just what we think, and it means nothing." Gui Chan said He sat down and closed his eyes slightly, as if feeling the last ray of setting sun shining through the window.
Everything around him suddenly stopped, even Taoxue's movement of drinking water had stopped. The water in the teapot just stopped in mid-air, without falling into Taoxue's mouth.
"Don't be nervous. This is just a realm. I call it time freezing." Gui Chan said to Lin Zihan with a smile. In this room, only Lin Zihan and Gui Chan's bodies were still moving. Xia Ming and Lin Yafeng were also in a stalemate at the door.
"You are indeed very strong. I didn't even see you take action, but your domain was able to seal off experts like Fu Tu and Tao Xue who are as strong as you." Lin Zihan said in shock, with a look of horror in his eyes, and in his voice He fell down, his lips tightened, and his right hand began to quietly clenched his fist.
"In this realm, you can't hurt me, and I can't hurt you. I haven't fully understood the freezing of time yet. I can only pause time, but I still can't change anything." Following Gui Chan's words, As it fell, the sound of rushing water sounded. The teapot in Tao Xue's hand tilted, and the tea flowed into his mouth.
"Now that you're here, let's catch up with old friends you haven't seen for a long time. I still have some things to deal with." Lin Zihan saw that everything around him had returned to its original posture, and then stood up and said, now Lin Zihan's mind just wanted to escape from this place as quickly as possible and hide far away.
"Su Yu, come with me. We just happened to get the Black Dragon Legion's database." Lin Zihan stood up and walked around the sofa. Then he realized that Su Yu was also in the room, so he turned to Su Yu and said, Not forgetting to wink.
"Oh~ oh oh, okay, I'll go with you." Su Yu didn't know what happened, which made Lin Zihan's temperament suddenly change. He actually became polite to Gui Chan and even offered to leave the room. This was not Lin Zihan's consistent style.
"Thank you. If you have any questions about the field, you can ask me. I will definitely teach you everything I can. After all, you are Fu Tu's student, and as the son of the dragon, we have the responsibility to transfer the knowledge that belongs to the dragon. I'll return the things to you." Gui Chan was also extremely polite, bowed slightly to Lin Zihan, lowered his head, and said in a respectful tone.
Seeing this scene, not only Su Yu, but also Tao Xue and Fu Tu were shocked. Although Gui Chan was a kind person, he never showed anyone more than a polite attitude, that kind of respect. manner.
