At the entrance to the Holy Court of Illusion on the top of the mountain, there is a huge stone gate. This gate is composed of huge pillars, transparent inside and out, and has three big characters written on the top: Illusion Gate.
Lu Bingfeng lowered his strength and walked in quietly.
It was already late at night, and the huge fantasy courtyard was almost empty, except for a sweeping monk sweeping the fallen leaves.
Lu Bingfeng was curious. The decoration of this courtyard was not like a temple, but more like a Taoist temple. How could there be a monk?
Lu Bingfeng came closer and took a closer look. He was a little frightened because the man sweeping the floor in front of him was not a monk, but a hairless boy, about 16 years old. But that's not the point. The point is that this boy's skin is gray.
The young man bowed when he saw Lu Bingfeng, and then stood there, trembling a little.
When Lu Bingfeng saw this situation, he didn't know what to say. Normally, if Lu Bingfeng saw a zombie, he would kill it without saying a word. But the zombie in front of him was in Leng Jing's territory, and he looked harmless, so Lu Bingfeng didn't take any action for the time being.
At this time, a long-lost but familiar voice sounded.
"His name is Adang, he is a gray man." Leng Jing slowly walked towards Lu Bingfeng, the fallen leaves falling, in contrast to Leng Jing's deep eyes.
"Well, Leng Jing, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Lu Bingfeng immediately came over and hugged Leng Jing.
But Leng Jing's attitude and actions were not enthusiastic at all, as if he was not familiar with Lu Bingfeng.
"What's wrong with you? It's me, Lu Bingfeng." Lu Bingfeng smiled and patted Leng Jing's shoulder.
"How long has it been since we last met?"
"It's been months."
"Yeah, for you it's a few months, for me it's over twenty years."
"Two... more than twenty years?" Lu Bingfeng suddenly felt a little disappointed. He now felt an unprecedented sense of strangeness from Leng Jing.
Yes, a lot of things can change in twenty years. It was already very rare for Leng Jing to still remember Lu Bingfeng. Although the two were close friends before, they could not withstand the erosion of time. It's no wonder that Leng Jing never thought of going north to find Lu Bingfeng. It turns out that many things have changed.
It seems that to Leng Jing, the Lu Bingfeng in front of him can only be regarded as a
Once a very good friend.
"How old are you now?" Lu Bingfeng asked.
"I don't know, maybe more than forty, but I have eaten a longevity fruit."
"Well, you can no longer be defined by your age. How are you doing now?"
"Not bad, life is very leisurely now. What about you?" Leng Jing smiled slightly, his attitude no longer so cold.
"I, it's hard to describe in words, a lot of things have happened, the Kingdom of Snow is no longer there, Hongli and I have both joined the forces of the River."
"Is Jiang Zhi's power? Sure enough, Jiang Feng is getting bigger and bigger now."
"That's right, we have captured most of Beiming's territory, and our momentum is like a rainbow."
"Let's go in and talk."
Leng Jing took Lu Bingfeng to a courtyard where the decoration was particularly fairy-like. The two of them sat next to a Bagua table, and there was air-conditioning coming out of the table.
The young man who was sweeping the floor came in carrying a large plate with a pot of tea and two cups on it. The young man placed the tea cup in front of Lu Bingfeng and Leng Jing, and poured tea into the cup.
After pouring, the young man left.
Leng Jing said to Lu Bingfeng: "Try the tea grown by Adang."
Lu Bingfeng picked up the tea cup and found that the temperature was just right. He took a sip slowly and felt it was slightly bitter, but the bitterness was refreshing. After drinking it, his throat felt very comfortable.
"Not bad, good tea." Lu Bingfeng praised.
"When marching and fighting, shouting is indispensable."
"Yes, when giving orders, you need to be confident and powerful, so the louder the voice, the better." Lu Bingfeng replied.
"Shouting every day is definitely not good for your throat. I can give you some tea leaves to improve your throat."
"Thank you. It seems you haven't forgotten my old friend."
"Twenty years is twenty years, but how can some people forget so easily. Besides, we don't say thank you to each other. You won't forget it, right?"
"How is that possible? I definitely remember it. It seems you are still the same Leng Jing." Lu Bingfeng's mood gradually improved a lot.
"Well, it's still the same. We don't have to be so restrained." Leng Jing said with a smile.
"Okay, by the way, I'm curious, who is that boy? Isn't he a zombie?"
"When I first came to Tianmu Nanshan, it had already been occupied by zombies. They planned to establish a mining site here in Nanshan. After I came, the zombies were frightened and fled one after another. But there was a young man here who did not leave because he was trained in Nanshan. New varieties of tea have emerged, tea that is only suitable for the soil here.”
"So you kept this boy just for tea?"
"You should know that I am not interested in tea, so I ignored the boy's persistence in tea. I directly used illusions to scare the boy away, but he was able to break my illusions. This made me very Surprisingly, he could break my illusion automatically. I suspected that he had some special ability, so I kept him."
"But, he is a zombie, is he willing to stay? Live with humans?"
"Ever since I got to know Adang, I no longer regard him as a zombie. He has flesh and blood, ideas, thoughts, and is very obsessed with tea. I feel that there is no difference between him and me. To a certain extent, I I admire him very much. At first, many people were very unfriendly to Adang, but because of my face, they did not dare to do anything to him. But as time went by, more and more people liked Adang. of tea. Unknowingly, Adang has completely integrated into our lives. Moreover, Adang has a very good character. He often cleans the courtyard late at night and feels the smell of fallen leaves. Sometimes when guests come to visit, he will take the initiative to make tea for himself. tea leaves to make guests happy.”
"Listening to what you said, my impression of Adam is indeed much better. Speaking of which, this is also the first time that I didn't take action immediately when I saw a zombie."
"Adang has some special abilities, which I will slowly discover in the future."
"What? You want to train him into a warrior?" Lu Bingfeng asked curiously.
"This is still uncertain, but the Illusion Sect does need talents, so that Tianmu Nanshan can remain invincible."
"Leng Jing, when it comes to this, I won't shy away from it. Tianmu Nanshan, for the entire Yanhuang, can only be described as a small place. Do you really want to stay here for the rest of your life?"
"Sure enough, it was Jiang Feng who ordered you to find me this time, right?"
"No, a large part of the reason is myself. I came here this time not to ask you to leave the mountain, but just to catch up with you and understand your thoughts."
