Jian Zhen was a twin immortal herb. In an unexpected turn of events, he landed on the spiritual mountains of both the Immortal and Demonic realms. When Jian Zhen slowly developed sentience, he had ...
The grass shows its prototype
When Jian Zhen said this, the whole table fell into a rare silence.
Even Wang Can, who usually loves to mock, was silent. He swallowed the wine in his mouth in disbelief: "You, you are the Tyrant Flower spirit?"
Jane really didn't understand why he reacted like this: "What's wrong?"
The Wang Can brothers looked at each other, and even Yu, who was always calm and composed, smiled gently.
The nickname of the Queen of Flowers in the Three Realms is "Man-eating Plant". It is true that it is a rare carnivorous species among plants, but the Queen of Flowers usually have extremely rough appearance after they transform. They definitely don't have the thin arms and legs like Jian Zhen, who looks tender and fresh!
Yu said, "So you never ate meat before you transformed?"
Jane was really surprised: "How did you know?"
Wang Can and the others suddenly realized: "I said you don't look like a queen of flowers, so you are so thin, could it be that you are malnourished due to hunger?"
Jian Zhen: “…”
I can't explain this to you.
Wang Can's younger brother Wang Man smiled and said, "Brother, look at this country bumpkin. He has no money and no experience. Who knows how poor the place where he grew up was. It's normal that he has never eaten good food. I now believe that he has nothing to do with the search warrant!"
Jian Zhen bit the meat in her mouth, her fair cheeks puffed up, and she said angrily, "I'm thin, not because I'm hungry."
It drinks dew!
He will definitely become stronger in the future!
Wang Can: “…”
Is this the point?
Unable to follow Jian Zhen's train of thought, Wang Can could only wolf down the food while asking, "Why do the Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord want to find that magical herb? Could it be because that herb really has some miraculous effect?"
Jian Zhen's hand that was picking up the food paused slightly.
Wang Man said: "Could it be that eating that magical herb can make one immortal, or that eating it can greatly increase one's cultivation?"
This wave of analysis is well-founded.
Yu is usually the more stable one. He said, "The Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord are the supreme beings in the three realms. It is unprecedented to issue a search warrant at the same time. I am afraid there is something hidden here."
Jian Zhen buried her head in the bowl and dared not look up.
In fact, there is no hidden secret. Although it is not very smart, it will understand if it uses its brain a little bit. It is precisely because Fu Changhuan and Ye Jisheng are both supreme bosses in the Three Realms that they have few friends. Although they have subordinates serving them, the king is suspicious by nature, and it is impossible for him to tell his true feelings to his subordinates.
so--
This ignorant little grass actually became the object of the two big guys' confession.
During the day, Jian Zhen listened to the Immortal Venerable telling me gossips about various cultivation families and various interesting stories in the fairy world. At night, I listened to the Demon Venerable talking about what evil the demons from various places had done and where the rare treasures of the demon world were hidden...
In a nutshell, it knows too much!!
Wang Man's laughter came from the other side. He said, "Let me see. What you said is not right."
Jane really paused.
“Think about it, even if this magical herb really has some miraculous effect, what kind of person is the Demon Lord? He is a divine body, and the Immortal Lord is the supreme being of the fairy world. What good things have these two big guys not seen in millions of years?” Wang Man leaned his fat body against the table and glanced at everyone: “I guess, they are definitely not looking for this herb because of its medicinal properties!”
Everyone looked at him.
Jian Zhen became even more nervous subconsciously, fearing that someone would find out and cook her for food on the spot.
Yu looked up and asked Wang Man, "Then tell me, what is the reason?"
Wang Man's face showed some arrogance, and his double chin was particularly obvious: "My family has some connections, and I have heard some secrets..."
Everyone, including Jian Zhen, was aroused by his curiosity.
Wang Can lowered his voice mysteriously: "I heard that the search for the immortal herb was fake. In fact, it was because the Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord both had a favorite lover. The lover was usually kept in the bedroom, and ordinary people were not allowed to see her except for the personal attendants..."
Jian Zhen almost choked on the food she was eating.
Wang Can looked at him with disdain: "What's your reaction?"
Jian Zhen's face turned red from being choked, and she gasped for breath: "Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Wang Can: “…”
Yu, who was sitting next to Jian Zhen, asked, "Although your guess is good, it has no basis."
"Who said there is no basis for it!" Wang Man, as the younger brother, immediately built momentum for his brother, and said with some disdain: "Do you know about Ghost City? Some time ago, at the Ghost Building Auction, the Immortal Lord and the Demon Lord fought for a spiritual treasure. I heard that the thing they fought for was to go back and make their lovers happy!"
“Cough…Puff…”
Wang Man frowned as she looked at Jian Zhen, who was choking again and had tears in her eyes: "What are you coughing for?"
Jian Zhen picked up the handkerchief beside her and wiped her eyes, her voice clear and soft: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it again."
Wang Can pounded the table angrily: "Can't you just be patient?!"
Jane nodded obediently: "Oh."
Wang Can said disdainfully, "You country bumpkin, don't you even know what a ghost market is? Are you scared?"
After hearing this, Jian Zhen put the handkerchief on the table and looked up and asked, "Did you see them fighting in the Ghost Building Market?"
Wang Can was stumped by the question. In fact, they had also heard the rumor from others, but at this moment, he certainly didn't want to be looked down upon by a grasshopper, so he said with a stiff mouth: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Jian Zhen's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Wow, I heard that the lanterns at the ghost market will be colorful and beautiful that day. I envy you for being able to see them."
Wang Can sneered and said proudly, "What's there to envy? We've seen a lot of this!"
The two brothers began to brag about themselves.
After the people at the table started eating again, Jian Zhen glanced sideways and found Yu looking at her, so she leaned over and whispered, "They haven't been there, don't believe them."
Yu was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
A sly smile appeared on Jian Zhen's fair face: "Because there are no lanterns in the ghost market, I made it up."
Yu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and gave Jian Zhen a thumbs up.
The night in Tianshui City is long.
Because of the unusual movement in Wanmie Mountain the day before, the number of outside visitors increased, and the restaurant was so crowded that it was not a place to stay for long. Not long after the meal, everyone returned to their rooms.
There is a bathing tub behind the curtain.
When Jian Zhen was bathing himself, he could see the wounds on his body more clearly. They were blue and purple, but seemed to have faded a little compared to the morning. After he came out of the bathtub, he changed into new clothes.
Yu was packing his luggage at the table, saying, "Brother Jian, I'll help you throw away the underwear you're wearing, and you can wear my clothes first!"
Jane really nodded and said, "Okay."
Yu turned to look at him and smiled helplessly: "Why are you dressed like this?"
Jane Zhen's clothes were loose, and some of the ropes were not tied properly. In fact, she had never worn clothes in this world before. When she woke up, she was just a blade of grass.
Yu came over to help him straighten his clothes and said, "Just like a little kid."
Jian Zhen asked doubtfully, "Isn't it already on?"
Yu came over and tied the skirt of his coat with the rope again, then said, "If you go out tomorrow dressed like that, people will say you are a hooligan."
Jian Zhen then realized that his ability to put on clothes was not enough. He looked at Yu's method of tying the rope very carefully, and then he said seriously: "I remember it."
Yu asked in confusion: "Remember what?"
Jian Zhen looked up at him. Under the light in the room, the fair-skinned boy had a pair of clean and beautiful eyes without any impurities: "I remember how to wear this dress. I won't be accused of being a hooligan when I go out tomorrow."
Yu didn't expect him to say that. He paused for a moment and then laughed out loud.
In fact, Jian Zhen often saw him laugh, but this was the first time she saw him laugh so loudly. He looked lively, cheerful, and youthful. He was no longer gloomy, as if he was always covered with a layer of dust.
Yu looked at him, and the relationship between the two of them became much closer. He said, "I was also clumsy when I was a child, and my brother often taught me this way."
Jian Zhen nodded, and Xiao Cao gave him the highest level of affirmation: "Your brother is really smart."
Yu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled softly: "Well, he was very smart. He was the smartest child among the brothers. It's a pity that he died."
Jian Zhen was a little surprised, his eyes were full of reluctance and regret: "Ah?"
With the help of the light, Jian Zhen discovered that there were black scars extending from Yu's face to his neck, which made his handsome face look a little scary. Yu lowered his head, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Yu's voice was very low: "My brother was killed by the bad guys in order to protect me."
The room was quiet.
Jane Zhen's breathing slowed down. She had never expected things to turn out like this.
Yu then looked up at him with a firm gaze: "That's why I want to go to the demon clan's spiritual sect to learn martial arts. If I have good kung fu, I can protect myself and avenge my brother!"
Jian Zhen nodded and said, "I believe you can do it."
Yu smiled gently: "I'm fine, I have already decided on these things. But you, what are you going to do in the future? We may leave Tianshui City tomorrow and go to Fuling Mountain of the demon clan to become disciples. What about you? Are you going to stay and find that unfaithful man?"
Jane was really stumped by the question.
Before he transformed into a human, all he wanted was to transform into a human and gain freedom.
But after he was freed, he was wanted. Now the immortals and demons must have search warrants everywhere. If he accidentally exposed his true identity in those two places, he would surely suffer a miserable end.
So that leaves...
Jian Zhen shook her head: "Don't look for him."
Yu said, "What are your plans for the future? Since you are also a member of the demon tribe and have cultivated to become an adult, it is an opportunity. If you are willing, you can go to the demon tribe with us. This conference is very large. I am holding a disciple-recruiting ceremony at Fuling Mountain once every hundred years. If you miss this opportunity, you may not know when the next one will be."
At this moment, there is probably no other place to go except to the demon tribe.
Jian Zhen nodded and said, "Okay!"
Yu smiled and said, "Then take a rest. You are still injured so you can sleep on the bed. I will sleep on the floor."
Jian Zhen quickly said: "It's okay, I'll sleep on the floor..."
It is not a delicate grass. It used to be able to sleep in the flowerpot!
Yu stopped him and said, "If it wasn't for you that night, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find the way into the city. You have already helped me a lot, so don't refuse now."
Jane really didn't expect him to say that, so she had to agree.
The night in Tianshui City is very quiet.
Perhaps because she was too tired during the day, Jian Zhen slept very soundly and did not wake up until noon the next day. Fortunately, everyone else was also quite tired and woke up a little late.
Everyone packed their bags and prepared to set off.
The Wang Can brothers said downstairs: "Have you heard? This is really new. The fifth prince of the demon clan died last month, and their ninth prince is also missing now. The royal family of the demon clan is in chaos now."
Jian Zhen happened to be coming down from upstairs with Yu. After hearing this, Yu paused slightly, and Jian Zhen looked up in surprise.
Wang Can looked into his clear black eyes, wondering what he was going to say, and a strange sense of anticipation arose in his heart.
Jian Zhen shook her head gently: "I haven't heard of it."
Wang Can: “…”
Why on earth would he think of asking him?
Yu was still wearing his gray clothes and said, "It's getting late, let's all leave the city first."
Everyone agreed.
When we reached the city gate, we found something strange there.
Because of the Three Realms Search Warrant yesterday, a checkpoint was set up at the Tianshui City Gate, which had never been involved in worldly affairs. All people entering and leaving the checkpoint had to look into a water mirror. The water mirror could reflect a person's original form. No matter what form he had transformed into, his original form would be revealed as long as he passed through the water mirror.
Everyone lined up to leave the city.
The people in front passed through the water mirror in turn, and their true forms were revealed in the mirror. Most of the immortals were from the human race who had practiced Taoism, while the demons were mostly monsters with wings and horns, and the monsters were even more bizarre.
Wang Can and others have passed it first.
The guard stopped Jian Zhen and others behind him and said, "Stand over there."
The others turned around and looked at Jian Zhen and Yu unconsciously. From the time they met until now, everyone was curious about what the prototypes of these two people looked like.
Jane's palms were really sweaty.
I was a little afraid of what would happen if my true form was revealed, and I was also worried that I would be caught if I ran away now.
The guard urged, "Hurry up, what are you guys daydreaming about?"
Jian Zhen walked in front of the water mirror, which shook slightly. When the picture unfolded, the eyes around her widened instantly, and even the people standing in front of the crystal were startled.
The guard was stunned.
Jian Zhen looked at him, a little nervous: "Um, I..."
