Pang Ban received Shen Hao's leave note a few days ago. He originally wanted to reject it directly, but then he thought that Shen Hao was not the kind of person who doesn't care about the importance. He had never behaved like this before. Taking leave for more than a month should be a last resort.
After two days of stress, I originally wanted to invite Shen Hao to come over and ask questions face to face. Unexpectedly, Shen Hao came over on his own, just in time to ask questions together.
When Shen Hao saw Pang Ban asking, he was also mentally prepared. The lack of movement on the leave application note must have been stuck. Even if Pang Ban didn't mention it today, he would take the initiative to ask. So he handed over his hands and said: "Sir, I have been invited to go to the City of Fusi. Blackwater happens to have many intelligence channels there. Let's go and take a look."
Pang Ban's originally leisurely expression suddenly tightened, and the hand reaching for the tea cup on the table froze. Then he sat up straight and asked in surprise: "What did you say? Are you going to the City of Vain?!"
"Yes, sir, my subordinate was invited by Huang Yansong, the master of Guishan Monastery, to go to the City of Fusi recently."
"Huang Yansong? Why did he invite you to Wushou City? Could it be...the underground palace?!" Pang Ban is not a stupid young man who knows nothing. There is no connection at all between Guishan Monastery and Wushu City. Not to mention there is no reason to invite others there. But once the time was taken into account, Pang Ban immediately thought of a possibility, and that was the underground palace in the City of Wasted Death that was going to be opened recently.
But why did Guishan Seminary invite Shen Hao to the underground palace? Why don't they want such a precious spot?
When Pang Ban was confused, Shen Hao was not prepared to hide anything and replied: "In response to my lord, because of the previous confrontation between Guishan Monastery and Tianchan Sect, my subordinates helped them a little, so in order to thank my subordinates, Sect Master Huang This year, a piece of the "Dead City Order" for the underground palace in the City of Wasteland was allocated to a subordinate. It happened that the subordinates had always been very interested in the underground palace in the City of Wasteland, so they agreed.
It should be enough to go here for more than a month, and I can casually see how good the intelligence channels arranged by Heishui in the City of Death are.
So please allow me to do so. "
Of course, if Pang Ban didn't allow Shen Hao to take leave, Shen Hao would find another way to go to the city in vain. For him, there was a reason why he had to go to Waishi City. It was related to not only his curiosity about the underground palace, but also the opportunity to unravel the secret of the black beast tattoo on his chest, and the group of people hiding in the dark, holding the Yin Jade. Mysterious man with map. In addition to these, the complex forces in the city of Fusi and inextricably linked to the old Jing Dynasty also made him want to investigate on the spot.
However, Pang Ban was obviously worried. He knocked on the table and said: "Let's not talk about the ideas of Guishan Monastery to drive away tigers and devour wolves. You should know the danger of killing the city and the underground palace in vain, right? Or do you have no understanding at all?"
"I know something about it. Elder Li Shuyang from Laoshu Peak of Guishan Monastery told me in detail before. My friend Nie Yun also told me a lot about things there."
"Li Shuyang? He is the fifth elder who is your nominal disciple at Guishan Monastery, right? Well, since you know the situation in the underground palace of Wusi City, you should also know that it is a place with extremely bad years. It is absolutely unsafe to enter with your current strength. , and compared to your current situation, there is absolutely no need to go there to fight for any resources, do you understand what I mean?"
"This subordinate understands your concern, but the subordinates from the Underground Palace of Wusi City are really curious and secretly feel that we should go there."
"Oh? Do you think there seems to be a destiny for you in the City of Wasted Death?" Pang Ban felt that he understood what Shen Hao meant. Monks always have indescribable emotions related to some things, including the acquisition of opportunities.
Shen Hao said this deliberately. He was very aware of the "fellow sect" relationship between himself and Pang Ban, as well as the concerns implicated from the two masters. How could such a dangerous place as Wusi City allow him to go and take risks so easily? However, it would be completely different if there was a "dark feeling".
This is the benefit of reading more books. Shen Hao has read a large number of essays and travel notes in the library of Xuanqingwei and the previous library of Wanjuanshu Mountain. Most of them were written by monks, and many of them mentioned the feeling of "underworld". . There is also a meaning similar to "consensus": as long as you feel a sense of something or a place, you must go there, because that may be one of the few opportunities you have.
In the eyes of monks, opportunity can be equated to a "shortcut", and it is the kind of shortcut that has no sequelae.
Just like Shen Hao's two epiphanies before, he still hasn't fully absorbed what he got. The "meaning" of swallowing that he realized for the first time, that is, "Black Cut", is now his main attack method and can be integrated into almost all of his moves. The various insights about "time" he had in his last epiphany allowed him to free up "chaotic time" and a large number of "time" fragments accumulated in the depths of his consciousness, waiting for further understanding.
This shows the importance of opportunity.
In fact, not only epiphany is an opportunity, but also some good magic weapons or spiritual weapons, as well as some rare and extremely useful elixirs, etc. can be called opportunities.
Now it seems that the effect is still very good, at least Pang Ban's expression is no longer as disapproving as it was at the beginning. After all, although safety is important, taking appropriate risks for opportunities is also a psychological preparation that monks must have.
"Yes, sir, that feeling is wonderful. It even came to my mind when I first learned about the existence of the City of Death. Later, after I got the order of the City of Death, this feeling became even stronger. So I feel that I must Take this trip.”
As expected, Pang Ban did not object immediately this time. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said: "With your current cultivation level in the Yuan Dan realm, you can barely meet the threshold for entering the underground palace, but it is still dangerous. Since Huang Yansong invites you, In the past, did that give you some guarantee?"
"Yes, sir, according to what Elder Li Shuyang said, the third elder, Lin Dashan, will protect the subordinates at that time, and all the harvests of the subordinates in the underground palace will belong to the subordinates."
Pang Ban snorted and seemed quite satisfied with the arrangement of Guishan Monastery. He said: "Lin Dashan's methods are considered to be among the top elders in Guishan Monastery. He can protect you enough for you to stay on the periphery of the underground palace." Wandering."
Hearing this, Shen Hao hesitated for a moment before explaining: "Sir, I am not invited to the periphery of the underground palace, but to the core area."
"Core area?! Is Huang Yansong crazy!?" Pang Ban was not surprised but frightened this time. How dare Guishan Monastery lead Shen Hao to the core area of the underground palace? Moreover, the exploration benefits in the core area are completely different from those in the periphery. How could Guishan Monastery give up?
But as soon as he thought about it, Pang Ban understood Guishan Monastery's plan and felt a little petty.
