Chapter 56: Xiao Lanting also has Taoism skills?
Summers in Nandu are long, and autumns are short. Even though it's already autumn, the long days of summer still linger.
Shen Zhiyi dragged her slow steps into the warm glow of the sunset. The brilliant colors around her formed a sharp contrast with her dejected gray demeanor.
As if mocking her failure.
She was very depressed and couldn't understand why things didn't go the way she expected.
Is it that Xiao Lanting has a bad temper and is too difficult to appease, or is it that she was too playful when she asked him out just now, causing him to not take it seriously at all?
No matter how you think about it, he doesn't seem to be such a stingy person.
Just then, Fan Xiaoqing sent a message asking about the progress, so she gave a brief summary of the situation.
Fan Xiaoqing sent a long voice message: "Believe me, this man is jealous of Pei Dan. Every man is jealous, the difference lies in how they express it. Lady Xiao's reserved personality will never show it openly. In fact, he is very anxious now, secretly waiting for you to coax him!"
Although Fan Xiaoqing is a sea king with rich experience, the current setback makes Shen Zhiyi slightly doubt her professionalism.
She wasn't very motivated and said weakly, "When Pei Dan gave me flowers, he happily asked me to have a good talk with him. There wasn't a trace of jealousy in his expression."
"Hmm...that means he's a pretty good actor. Where are you now? Are you still with him?"
She swung her feet, her tone revealing boredom. She looked at the fading sunset glow in the distant sky and said, "He's gone. He went to a meeting. I'm in the small garden outside the teachers' building. Do you want to come with me for dinner?"
Fan Xiaoqing chuckled and said, "I can't go. I recently joined an outdoor club with a lot of activities. I'm rushing over to discuss the activities for the National Day holiday."
"Then I'll cancel my reservation there."
It's boring to go alone.
"No, wait a little longer. If he doesn't show up within five minutes, you can cancel it." Fan Xiaoqing said.
Shen Zhiyi didn't think it made any difference. Teachers' meetings always lasted a long time, at least an hour and a half. Given Xiao Lanting's personality, he probably wouldn't quit midway.
But it's only five minutes, so it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer.
There was only a dim light left in the sky, and the night engulfed it.
A breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness.
A faint sobbing sound was heard, and Shen Zhiyi's ears moved.
She concentrated slightly and turned her head to look at the end of the garden arch.
At a glance, there was silence and no one around, and the dim night made everything around look blurry.
At the end is a student study room building, but because of its remote location, few students come here.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the hot and shiny phone in his palm with a cold look in his eyes.
I have nothing to do anyway, so you came at the right time.
She grabbed her backpack and walked resolutely into the darkness.
The crying sound came from the stairwell. From outside, all I could see was an orange light swaying in the wind.
When Shen Zhiyi walked downstairs, she saw a girl running up and down the same corridor, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
Confused?
She stepped forward and just as she stepped onto the stairs, there was a violent bounce in the air, as if something had broken.
The girl in the corridor was stunned, the fear in her eyes was quickly filled with surprise, and then she hurriedly ran towards her, screaming and running out.
Shen Zhiyi retracted his gaze and continued walking forward.
There were twelve steps, but I took the thirteenth step. On the wall in front of me was written the number "2".
At this moment, her brows were slightly furrowed, but she remained calm and continued to walk up.
After walking for five minutes, she stopped.
On the wall in front of me, there is still the bright red number "2".
There was no one in the study rooms on both sides, but the lights were on.
From the place where light and darkness intertwine, an eerie chill emanates.
Swish swish——
The black shadow shuttled back and forth in four directions: above, below, left and right of her.
"Oh."
Shen Zhiyi's eyes were fierce, and a dazzling white light shot out from her palm, winding and flowing like a gymnastics ribbon, spinning flexibly in her hand, forming a spiral and attacking the darkness.
Banging sounds accompanied by strange screams rang out, and the tables and chairs in the empty classroom were inexplicably bumping around.
However, at this moment, a black shadow rushed out from the air, as if wanting to kill Shen Zhiyi by surprise!
However, Shen Zhiyi raised his right hand at the critical moment, curled his five fingers into a claw shape, and hit the black shadow fiercely with his compelling spiritual power.
She raised her eyes and looked up, wanting to solve the problem in one go, but was suddenly shocked.
The evil spirit above my head is a child.
Human child!
She withdrew her hand in time and stepped back.
The child also fell to the ground, with an evil look in his empty eyes and a sinister and complacent smile on his lips.
It was laughing at Chen Zhiyi for not daring to take action.
Because if you do that, the child will die!
Unless, we can find the person who is controlling these puppets behind the scenes.
After searching for a while, Shen Zhiyi locked onto a direction.
She formed seals with her palms, and a peach wood sword suddenly pierced through the void. Following her incantations and gestures, it quickly stabbed towards the bottom of the stairs.
A dark shadow flashed hurriedly, avoiding the peach wood sword.
But the next second, he was pressed hard into the wall, and before he could fight back, he was pierced by the peach wood sword!
Shen Zhiyi stared at the man downstairs, stunned.
"What are you standing there for?"
Xiao Lanting's eyes were indifferent, as if he was already accustomed to these things.
Upon seeing this, Shen Zhiyi immediately took out the purification bottle and collected all the black shadows.
There was only one left, and she strangled him.
"Why are you gathered here?"
These are all low-level souls, but they colluded with each other tonight and set this trap for her. There must be a conspiracy!
As her strength increased, the shadow spoke: "You are blocking everyone's way. Even if you take us in, there will be more powerful evil spirits and monsters coming to kill you!"
Shen Zhiyi's eyes turned fierce, and the black shadow in her hand was squeezed into the purification bottle by her.
It seems that her recent deeds have spread, and the souls that are reluctant to leave the mortal world have received the news and are rushing to kill her.
She had already expected all this.
But now, there was something she had not expected.
Thinking of this, she looked at Xiao Lanting at the bottom of the stairs.
Just now, when the peach wood sword was chasing the evil spirit, he was able to accurately turn the evil spirit over and press it against the wall, assisting the peach wood sword in killing it.
How could he see the evil spirit, and how could he touch it?
Last time, she did open his third eye, allowing him to see what she could see. She had no choice but to do so in order to explain Yu Fanli's matter to him.
But the effect of this spell can only last for two hours. This shows that his ability to see evil spirits now is definitely not due to her spell.
"Can you see them?" she asked, walking down the stairs, her face serious.
Xiao Lanting maintained his usual indifferent and calm expression and did not deny: "Yes."
"Why?" she frowned.
After two seconds of silence, Xiao Lanting said, "My master is Taoist Master Zishan."
"Purple Mountain?"
Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened in shock, "Your master is that rebellious and romantic Uncle Zishan?"
Since she was a child, she had heard from her master and the elders in the Taoist temple that Qingshan had a junior brother named Zishan, who was extremely talented, but failed because of his rebellious and unorthodox personality. He had fallen out with the people in the temple a long time ago and left to travel.
Because of this, she never met that person.
The next second, she frowned, her eyes filled with suspicion: "No, you don't have any Taoist skills."
There is a sense of connection between the practitioners, but she could not sense any spiritual power from Xiao Lanting.
Just like now, if she concentrated on feeling, she could only feel her own spiritual energy.
Xiao Lanting stared at her for a while, then opened his lips slightly: "That's because..."
