The strong wind blew up fallen leaves and dust all over the sky, and the plants undulated like waves. The whole zoo seemed to come alive.
In this sensational scene, Zhang Yuanqing once again felt the "gaze", the terrifying gaze from the underworld.
But unlike last time, the gaze cast by the weapon spirit this time contained overwhelming anger, like a god whose scales were touched by a mortal. The vision of strong winds was proof of the god's anger.
An indescribable chill and panic surged into Zhang Yuanqing's heart, and Zhang Yuanqing suddenly felt the tension of facing a ferocious beast with bare hands.
The hairs on the back of the hands stand on end, adrenaline is secreted crazily, and the muscles in the legs and back tighten silently... The body is undergoing a fierce stress response and automatically adjusts to the best fighting state.
Oops, the reaction is a bit big... Zhang Yuanqing clearly felt that the temperature around him began to drop. There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes peeping in the darkness, and the night was tinged with a dangerous atmosphere.
The moment he called out Zhang Zizhen, he broke the rules.
Thoughts raced in Zhang Yuanqing's mind. Although the purpose of the Inferi's existence was to serve as cannon fodder, he came to the zoo to obtain information, not to send the Inferi thousands of miles away. He must remedy the situation immediately.
Soon he thought of a way and whispered: "I am Zhang Zizhen's son, I am Zhang Zizhen's son..."
Along with the sleepy whispers, the howling wind stopped, and the peeping eyes in the darkness quickly disappeared.
The night was dark, the surroundings were silent, and it was as if what had happened just now had not happened.
It really worked... Zhang Yuanqing felt slightly relieved. The weapon spirit has self-awareness and is a rational existence that can communicate.
Then, as long as you tell your identity, it will definitely hear you.
As for why he didn't lie that he was Zhang Zizhen, on the one hand, through the experiment just now, the weapon spirit seems to judge the identity through blood. The infernal corpse is not the original body and is difficult to disguise.
On the other hand, the relationship between the father and the weapon spirit is obviously unusual. Pretending to be Zhang Zizhen in front of the weapon spirit can easily be seen through. It will anger the weapon spirit and defeat the purpose of coming here.
"Are you his heir?" came a clear and childish voice, like a cold girl.
Zhang Yuanqing followed the sound and finally found a red-eyed little rabbit in the bushes behind him. It looked at him cautiously and curiously, coldly and unhappily through the gaps in the bushes.
Is the weapon spirit possessed by the rabbit? It's a bit cute. From the sound, the ideology of the weapon spirit is that of a girl... Zhang Yuanqing probed: "Are you... the weapon spirit of this park?"
"Are you his heir?" Little Rabbit asked again stubbornly.
"Yes, Zhang Zi is really my father." Zhang Yuanqing gave a clear answer.
The little rabbit looked at him faintly, as if weighing the reality.
Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "Last time I was here, you mistook me for him."
Only he and Qi Ling knew about this matter.
"It's you, I remembered..." Little Rabbit's three-petal mouth squirmed, and his attitude softened significantly, "You are the Night Wandering God, and his descendant should indeed be the Night Wandering God. Where is Zhang Zizhen, where is he? ?」
His tone also improved.
I want to say that people have returned to the spiritual realm for more than ten years, will it go berserk on the spot... Zhang Yuanqing decided to be cautious, shook his head and said: "I don't know, he left when I was very young, saying he was going to do something Big things, never come back.”
This was an excuse he adapted from the conversation between Zhang Zizhen and the dog elder in the monkey garden, and it was in line with the cognition of the weapon spirit.
"You don't know where he is?" Little Rabbit's lips wriggled, and his clear voice was filled with disappointment. His tone turned cold: "What are you doing here? You want to gain my trust in the name of Zhang Zizhen, and then steal from the puppy." Take me away? Although you are his heir, this is not a plus for me. On the contrary, your mother makes me very unhappy."
"Do you know my mother?" Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved.
"I don't know, but I know that humans only have children with those closest to them, so I'm not happy." The little rabbit said plausibly.
So you are jealous? Why would you, a weapon spirit, be so possessive of your master... Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart, and at the same time looked around, fearing that he would see a curly teddy coming out of the darkness.
"No one will come." The little rabbit peered at him through the bushes, with a girl's crisp and clear voice, "Tell me your purpose."
Zhang Yuanqing had already prepared the draft. Hearing this, he said without hesitation:
"After becoming a spiritual realm walker, I joined the officialdom. By chance, I learned the identity of Zhang Zizhen's Lieyang twins, so I have been secretly investigating to find my father who has been missing for many years.
"During the investigation, I discovered you and the relationship between Elder Dog and him, and just today, I discovered that Lingtuo, one of the Shadow Twins, has become the leader of an evil organization.
"I want to ask you about something. What happened in 1999? What led to Lingtuo's death? What did the Xiaoyao organization do after they obtained the core fragment of the Bright Compass."
The little rabbit squatted in the bush, staring at him with red eyes, but did not respond.
But Zhang Yuanqing was not panicked at all. His words just now paved the way for "finding his father" in advance, and this is what the spirit spirit longs for most.
Besides, as a son, it is natural to find his missing father. If Qi Ling wants to find Zhang Zizhen, he must rely on him.
Is there anyone in the world who wants to know "where is daddy" more than a son?
Sure enough, Little Rabbit's voice was as cold as a girl's and said: "After getting the core fragment of the Bright Compass, the four of them lived in the park for a while and studied the core fragment all day long. The park is the secret base of the Xiaoyao organization. They usually stay in the park. We gathered here to discuss plans. I didn’t care about the Bright Compass and didn’t participate. I only know that one day, they suddenly got very excited and said some very strange things..."
"Weird words." Zhang Yuanqing quickly asked, "What did they say?"
"It seems...keys, containers, solar branches, etc. In short, I understood how to use the Bright Compass Fragments, and then Zizhen told me that I would leave for a while. During this period, the zoo will have no administrator, but I am a mature person. The weapon is magical, and he hopes that I can learn to suppress evil things by myself."
My father is a pu... Zhang Yuanqing complained and said:
"Where have they gone?"
"When we entered the spiritual realm, the four of us went there together, saying we wanted to unlock the ultimate secret of the spiritual realm."
Entered the spiritual realm? Zhang Yuanqing frowned: "We entered the spiritual realm together... did we rely on teleportation props?"
For most spiritual realm walkers, entering the spiritual realm dungeon is a passive behavior, once a month, and is dominated by the spiritual realm.
Only teleportation props can break this restriction.
"It is through the core fragment of the Compass of Light that you enter the spiritual realm." The little rabbit instinctively twitched its pink nose, sniffing randomly, and made a cold voice over and over again:
“I forget how long they were gone, but I will always remember the day they came back, because that’s when all the misfortunes started.
"They were in a very embarrassed state when they came back and suffered serious injuries. After returning to the park, the four of them had an unknown argument and had a big quarrel, but I don't know the specific content. The sound was blocked by props at the time. That quarrel was very If he really breaks up with them, he will have physical problems after that."
"what is the problem?"
"He was cursed, a terrible curse, the most terrible curse I have ever seen. His body was getting worse day by day, and the power of the curse was eroding his life, but Zizhen didn't care at all, he became He is taciturn and often alone in a daze. One day, he suddenly told me that he wanted to go out to do something. He left not long ago and came back soon, but he also brought back bad news - Lingtuo was dead. Lingtuo was dead. After his death, he took me to move to Songhai. From then on, he seldom went out. He accompanied me to seal the evil things in the zoo every day, and occasionally went home."
"He seemed to be avoiding something, and the other two people never came to the park to look for him... Then, suddenly one day, he told me that Chu Shang was also dead."
"Chu Shang's death seemed to have hit him hard. He no longer stayed in
Park, he went out frequently, until one day he told me that he was leaving for a while and asked me to follow the puppy. "
"I never saw him again."
Zhang Yuanqing extracted two key pieces of information:
First, Lingtuo did not die in the "action" of unlocking the secrets of the spiritual realm, but after leaving the spiritual realm.
Second, the core fragment of the Bright Compass can allow spiritual walkers to travel through the dungeon. It may be something like a key. He was a little disappointed. Although the information was important, it did not meet his expectations.
The cold, childish voice was unknowingly full of vicissitudes and erraticness: "Actually, over the years, I have often thought that he might have returned to the spiritual realm, but the puppy told me that he just left, and there is no evidence to prove that he is dead. May I have your name?"
Zhang Yuanqing was so entranced that he didn't react. He hesitated a little and replied, "Zhang Yuanqing!"
"Zhang Yuanqing..." Little Rabbit stared at him: "You will find him, right."
"I will." Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
After carefully digesting the information, he suddenly remembered the conversation recorded in the monkey park, and immediately asked: "I found out about the things imprisoned in the park, which involve the secrets of the spiritual realm. Can you tell me."
"That was a wrong exploration." Little Rabbit squatted obediently and said, "They entered a ruins where evil spirits from ancient times were sealed. I heard Zizhen say that they were filled with beast souls that refused to die. Resentment and malice can only be carried by an animal's body, so he used the materials he brought from the ruins and almost lost all his own money to have someone build this prop. He also integrated me into it and refined it into a weapon spirit."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by 'incorporating me into it? Are you not a weapon spirit born from the park?"
"I am a regular item myself, good at sealing."
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized, thinking, no wonder you are so dependent on Zhang Zizhen, but don't get close to Xiaoyao Sanzi. It turns out that you have been a prop of the dead father from the beginning.
"What does the beast soul that refuses to die mean?"
"They are the souls of those who died in a war in ancient times. You should know about that war."
Why do I know? Zhang Yuanqing said heartily.
"There is an unyielding will in Guanghun. It wanders deep in the park, always shouting unwillingly: %¥#. Zizhen said, this sentence is..." Little Rabbit stared at him , "Xuanyuan!"
Zhang Yuanqing didn't react at first. After a few seconds, he lost his voice and said, "Huangdi Xuanyuan?!"
Little Rabbit didn't respond.
Shit, it turns out that the dialect-like language of Leather City is a dialect from ancient times? What the ancient god of war shouted was Xuanyuan, the legendary Yellow Emperor?
From this point of view, the identity of the ancient god of war in the zoo is... A famous mythological and historical figure appeared in Zhang Yuanqing's mind.
After Emperor Wa, two more legendary figures were confirmed to be spiritual practitioners - Huang Di and Chi You.
Thinking back, the skill description of the ancient war god is a bit similar to the legendary Chi You, especially the Mist Lord... In the legend, Chi You was cut into pieces by the Yellow Emperor and decapitated, which is consistent with the incarnation of the unyielding will I saw. .....It turns out that Chi You was the ancient god of war. No, that's not right. It was just the resentment after death. The original body has no idea how terrifying it is...
So this war is just a battle? I remember that historians have yet to find the location where the Battle of the Deer took place. Could it be that it was included in the Xumi Mustard Seed...or did it itself take place in the Sumeru Mustard Seed?
Upon hearing the secret, Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts seemed to explode.
At this time, the little rabbit said calmly and childishly: "Go back, I will not reveal anything about tonight's meeting to anyone, including the puppy. If you find Zhang Zizhen, tell me to come back and see me."
After saying that, the rabbit turned around and jumped away.
"Wait!" Zhang Yuanqing made the classic "Ziwei wait a moment" gesture.
The little rabbit stopped and looked back: "Is there anything else?"
"I want to know who the other shadow twin is?" Zhang Yuanqing said.
The known twins are Zhang Tianshi, Chu Shang and Ling Tuo. The identity of the last one is very mysterious. It is said that outsiders have never seen his true face.
Outsiders don't know, but the zoo's weapon spirits must know.
Zhang Tianshi and Chu Shang have returned to the spiritual realm, and Lingtuo has become a fallen person. What will be the fate of the last member?
Is he returning to the spiritual realm like the first three, or is he becoming a fallen person like Lingtuo.
"I promised him not to reveal his identity, but since you are Zizhen's heir, it doesn't hurt to tell you." Little Rabbit said, "His name is Wuhen."
a bolt from the blue!
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned on the spot!
