The old immortal and the opera ghost respectively exist in the Lingyin stick and the new tablecloth. They use these two objects as places to hide their souls and nourish their souls, so they can follow Wu Fan around and communicate with each other.
But since the Demon Locking Tower and his party passed, Wu Fan found that he had lost contact with the two, and no matter what methods he tried, he could not get any response.
When Wu Fan had a headache, the old man who was on the ninth level in the underworld immediately appeared in his mind!
He helped him solve the problems faced by the opera ghost and the old immortal back then. If he had helped, this kind of trouble would have been totally out of the question!
But unfortunately, Wu Fan has now obtained the third prince's body to return to the sun, and has no way to return to Jiuliu himself. Although he could find Qingshe for help through Bai Yi, it would waste too much time...
After thinking hard, another figure suddenly appeared in Wu Fan's mind, that was Red Phoenix!
After all, she is the owner of Linlang Market, so she must be well-informed. If he can find her, he may be able to solve the abnormal situation of the old fairy and the opera ghost!
After searching all the way with my thoughts, I finally met Chihuang. Seeing that the latter was about to speak, Wu Fan's heart was in his throat, fearing that Chihuang would shake his head and say no...
But the latter's unexpected words made Wu Fan dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a long time without being able to recover.
"These two things are rare in the sky and rare on earth. Although this tablecloth is inferior to the Lingyin Stick, as long as it can be used properly, it can be a life-saving magic weapon!" The more Chi Huang looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he smiled broadly.
"Senior Chihuang..." Wu Fan looked bitter, "I'm really sorry, I can't sell these two things!"
"Hey!" Chihuang said disdainfully, "Third Prince, don't be so sure about what you say. I have never seen anyone who can't waver under a high price."
After a moment of silence, Chi Huang seemed to have made some difficult decision: "Third Prince, do you still remember the Feng Pavilion in Cangxi City?"
"Of course." Wu Fan nodded.
"I put all my effort into that Fengting Pavilion. The carved beams and painted pillars are unparalleled in the world! Especially the herbs under the trees in the backyard, I couldn't find them anywhere even if I walked through iron shoes..."
As soon as Chihuang opened his mouth, he was filled with endless praise, and he did not hesitate to give any compliments. Wu Fan was quite surprised by Chi Huang's eloquence, but what surprised him even more was that the latter's face could turn neither red nor white when he said such words.
"Ahem..." Wu Fan couldn't bear to listen anymore, so he interrupted Chihuang while she was taking a breather, "Senior Chihuang, you'd better say what you have to say!"
"Happy! I just like your temper!" Chihuang narrowed his eyes, "I want to use Fengting to exchange for these two things. I wonder if the third prince is satisfied?"
"Senior Chihuang, I really can't sell these two things!" Wu Fan repeated again.
"Humph!" Chihuang frowned and had no intention of handing the thing back, "Third Prince, you should know what your situation is now. If you can get Fengting, you will be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you will no longer have to worry about anything! Don’t be too greedy as a human being!”
"Senior Chihuang... If you have no other choice, just give them back to me!" Wu Fan's tone gradually became stronger and he was about to reach out his hand.
"Wait!" Chihuang's face darkened, "Luanlou, I will give you Luanlou too! You kid, don't push yourself too far!"
"Fengting and Luanlou...hahaha, Master Chihuang is really generous!" Wu Fan suddenly laughed out loud.
"Ha... If I hadn't been in urgent need of some treasures to support my appearance, how could I have taken advantage of you, a deceitful woman, so easily!" Chihuang sneered.
"But Senior Chihuang." Wu Fan suddenly stopped laughing and said expressionlessly: "These two things are not only magic weapons, they are also my friends! So I can't sell them, and I won't sell them! Don't say they are phoenixes. Ting and Luan Tower, even if you give Linlang Market to me, I will never betray them!"
"So...if Senior Chihuang really has nothing to do, you should return them to me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" As he said that, Wu Fan's aura suddenly became cold, and a black mist spread in the cemetery. Opening up, adding a bit of eerieness to the already gloomy atmosphere.
"Hmph!" Chi
Huang just frowned, and a burst of red light spread out, dispersing the black mist without a trace.
"Uh..." When Wu Fan woke up, his heart was beating wildly. He had not lost control of his emotions like this for a long time.
"I'm sorry, Senior Chihuang, I..." Wu Fan hesitated, not knowing how to explain.
"Hey! If you don't want to sell it, you won't sell it! Why are you so cruel?" Chihuang threw the two things back into Wufan's arms, folded his arms angrily and turned away, then gritted his teeth and said in his heart: This kid is really a newborn calf. Don’t be afraid of tigers! You know your father doesn’t even have the guts to get angry at me!
"Ahem..." After the atmosphere became tense, Wu Fan was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left: "I'm really sorry to bother Senior Chihuang so late! I will definitely come back to you after this junior solves this trouble. Please apologize!"
With that said, Wu Fan took Mu Fengchun who was watching the show and was about to leave, but before they had gone far, they heard a faint voice coming from behind.
"Who said...I can't help it?"
"..." Wu Fan was speechless for a while when he heard this, and muttered in his heart: If you didn't tell me earlier if you had a way, you would waste your time here.
But he only dared to complain in his heart when he said this, and still managed to put on a smile on his face: "Senior Chihuang is well-informed, and I always believe that I will find a solution!" Wu Fan has experienced too much, and he has long been unable to do so. He cared about other people's eyes and said shamelessly.
"Bring it here!" Chihuang rolled his eyes at Wu Fan and said angrily, "Tell me what's going on!"
Although Chihuang was enthusiastic about the treasures, he never took them by force, so Wu Fan handed the two objects back with great confidence.
Before, Chihuang was only looking at the nature of the magic weapon and did not pay attention to the details. Now when he heard Wu Fan explain, he started to study it in depth.
"This spiritual yin stick is a weapon that hides yin, so it is no surprise that it can hold souls. On the other hand, although the material of this piece of cloth is not particularly precious, it can create its own soul space with its ingenious craftsmanship. It is really incredible... I have to admit I just made a mistake." Chihuang sighed softly.
After looking at it for a while longer, Chihuang withdrew his gaze and said with a solemn expression: "To be honest, the situation with these two objects is more difficult than I imagined. Although I have a way, it is not easy..."
"Senior Chihuang, if you need anything, just ask, no matter what it is, I will get it for you!" Wu Fan said eagerly.
"For them now, the effect of external objects is really minimal. The only way to solve this problem right now...is time!"
"Time?" Wu Fan wondered, "Senior Chihuang may tell this junior what is their situation now?"
"You can understand that they have been sealed by someone. Only by lifting the seal can they return to normal."
"Seal?" Mu Fengchun on the side couldn't help but interjected, "Lord Chihuang, if it's just a seal, it shouldn't be a problem..."
Mu Fengchun winked at Wu Fan, and the latter immediately understood what the former meant. There was a helper who was best at sealing beside them! Although the person was in the green box and it was a bit more troublesome to communicate, they didn't mind going back and messing around as long as it worked.
Seeing Mu Fengchun and Wu Fan winking at each other, although Chihuang couldn't understand each other's thoughts, he was able to make some guesses and poured cold water on them in time: "Of course it's not a big deal if it's just a seal, but what I'm saying is just To make it easier to understand, I didn’t say it was a seal.”
"..." The idea failed, Mu Fengchun shrugged and stepped back.
"In short, this matter is very difficult! It can be as short as more than a month, or as long as endless... I can't guarantee the specific time!" Chihuang once again fell into a sense of powerlessness, with a trace of loss flashing in his eyes, "So you still have to do something else. Just go for it!"
"If even Senior Chihuang can't do anything, who can we count on?" Looking at the two things handed over by Chihuang, Wu Fan did not accept them, but pushed them back. "Since Senior Chihuang has a way, then This is all your hard work! As for the remuneration issue, senior, don’t worry, you can just make an offer when the time comes!”
"If even Sister Chihuang can't do anything, who can I count on?" In the haze, Chihuang said
Suddenly a familiar word sounded in my ears...
"Huh! You said this yourself! Don't blame me, the lion, for talking loudly!" Chihuang calmed down and put away the two things with a flick of his clothes.
"Senior Chihuang is joking. Since you have put in all the hard work, you deserve whatever you get." Wu Fan said in a sincere tone, bowing: "It's already so late, so I won't bother you anymore. Please go back and rest." Bar!"
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? With such a business coming, I can't bear to take a rest early..." After saying that, Chihuang pointed to his side, "I have nothing to do anyway, why don't you come over and see the scenery with me? .”
"..."
Wu Fan shuddered. Although he had long been accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, he never thought that this place could be regarded as a scenery... But now that the latter spoke, he also muttered an apology secretly, then came to Chi Huang and stepped on it. On top of the tombstone.
"I often wonder what life is, and what death is?" After a brief silence, Chihuang suddenly spoke.
"I'm familiar with this matter! Let me tell you, death is the end of life and life is the beginning of death!" Mu Fengchun couldn't help feeling lonely and subconsciously answered.
"Mu Lingzhu, did I ask you a question?" Although Chihuang's tone was calm, it frightened Mu Fengchun and he hurriedly shut up.
"I often wonder... what is life, and what is death?" Repeating the previous words, Chihuang glared at Mu Fengchun, and then continued: "So every time I toss and turn at night, I will come to Find answers here."
"In the city at night, even if life calms down, there will still be anger and noise. But here, and only here, can it be truly peaceful..." ap.
"If you're not calm, then you're lying..." Mu Fengchun muttered in a low voice, but he felt like his body was on fire and he hurriedly shut up, not daring to say anything anymore.
"While calm, I gradually realized a truth." Chihuang's expression suddenly became serious: "Life and death are connected, all in the word "one"! "
"One word? I wonder which word Senior Chihuang said?"
Chihuang pointed to the stone tablet at his feet: "What I'm talking about is the word "one". "一" is the last word of the word "life" and the beginning of the word "death". It is the stone tablet under my feet, which not only separates the two halves of life and death, but also closely connects life and death..."
