"Oh, so you've finally decided to contact me, Taoist priest." An ordinary sedan pulled up to the side of the street, and as soon as the window was cracked open, the Taoist priest's voice came from inside: "Come on, get in the car, I'll take you out for some fun today!"
Lin Feng stood under the shade of a tree, listening to the rustling of leaves in the wind, and said to the Taoist priest who peeked out from the car, "Something has happened."
"Oh~"
The Taoist priest Si Zang opened the car door, having anticipated this, and turned off the engine. He grabbed the Taoist robe lying on the passenger seat, shook it, and draped it over his shoulders. He then walked around the back of the car to Lin Feng's side, his face drooping, and said in a feignedly resentful tone, "It's nothing serious, is it?"
Si Zang scrutinized the person before him. Having not seen him for a long time, he clearly sensed the increased aura emanating from Lin Feng, which seemed to be mixed with some strange feeling...
From the moment he received the message, he knew that Lin Feng was definitely not there to chat and drink.
Avoiding the blazing sun overhead, Si Zang stood under a tree and casually made a hand seal. A small breeze instantly rose up: "This shouldn't be happening! I consulted the oracle today, and it said that everything will be auspicious when I go out!"
"Was it calculated just now?" Lin Feng suddenly interjected.
“Of course…” Si Zang was about to blurt it out when he immediately avoided Lin Feng’s probing gaze and waved his hand to deny it: “What do you mean just now? This is just my daily practice, praying for blessings and warding off disasters… Haha, just a casual divination, it’s not that important.”
"No, I believe you. Tell me my fortune these next few days," Lin Feng said, placing a hand on Si Zang's shoulder as he leaned closer, sighing, "If your fortune is good, then I'll go with you..."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Si Zang's shoulder, looked up at the sunlight outside the shade of the tree, and slowly exhaled a long breath: "If my luck is bad, then I'll have to go back to the Nightmare Space to hide."
"Wait, you just came out!"
Upon hearing that they were leaving, Si Zang turned around and hooked his arm around Lin Feng's shoulder, saying without any hesitation, "What luck or anything like that? In the real world, who would dare to make a move!"
Lin Feng slowly moved Si Zang's arm away and said seriously, "What if we start fighting?"
"Then..." A bad feeling rose in Si Zang's heart, and he hurriedly leaned closer to ask, "Suibian, you didn't really offend someone, did you?"
Lin Feng did not deny it, and continued with the previous question: "Tell me first what would happen if this were to be done in the real world?"
"Ahem... well... actually, I don't know much about it either. I've only seen a few people make a move, and then they suddenly disappeared." Si Zang's eyes were strange, and then he said in a low voice, "Of course, it's not impossible, as long as it's done discreetly, it's fine... wait, you're not planning to attack someone, are you?"
"Four Treasures," Lin Feng said solemnly, "Do you know about the Evil Origin Path?"
Si Zang's mouth gaped open: "Uh..."
"We encountered them in the forced mission world. They were a bit too aggressive, so..." Lin Feng paused for a moment. Although it was a tentative question and he didn't say anything crucial, he could already see something in Si Zang's eyes that he should pay attention to.
Just as he was about to continue his story, Si Zang's expression changed, and he exclaimed with disgust, "Oh, whatever! Why did you have to mess with those jerks? I hate running into them the most!"
"Forget it, at worst I'll ask my senior brother for help. That should be enough to keep you alive."
"However, my senior brother has a few rules: helping others can't be done for free... If you become my disciple, he, as my senior uncle, will definitely be very accommodating."
Si Zang spoke at length, his gaze subtly sweeping over Lin Feng before finally clearing his throat and saying, "To be honest, while I am just an ordinary person, my senior brother is quite a figure, capable of maintaining some standing in this small area."
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment before speaking, until Si Zang looked at him nonchalantly and chuckled to himself: "What if we also offend the Yin Yang School? Oh right, and Ghost Shadow too."
"hiss!!!!"
Si Zang couldn't help but gasp, his pupils shrinking sharply.
Something's not right. The divination just now didn't show any danger at all. Could this guy be lying to him?
While thinking about it, Si Zang's eyes darted around, and he quickly pinched his index finger several times with his thumb. Then, suppressing his temper, he asked calmly, "What have you been doing?"
Lin Feng replied, "I accidentally killed a captain of the Yin-Yang School, and then... I was followed by Ghost Shadow for two worlds."
Si Zang felt a sharp pain between his brows. What "accidental"? Last time he'd accidentally gotten his hands on a nuclear bomb... and been followed for two worlds! Those Ghost Shadows were truly relentless; he'd heard that someone above Ghost Shadows had set up some kind of grand formation specifically for capturing people...
but...
Si Zang naturally didn't completely believe Lin Feng's nonsense. He carefully weighed the truth and falsehood in Lin Feng's words and said in a slightly gentler tone, "Whatever. Actually, as for that Yin Yang School, let alone whether they have a grudge against you, I've had some minor conflicts with them. Even if they come after you, if it really comes to blows, I'm ready to go with you and fight them anytime!"
ha?!
Lin Feng looked closely, and couldn't help but want to open his spiritual eye. Was there really a grudge?
"Hehe, I don't lie. The sect's scriptures were stolen by the other side and we haven't been able to find them. Later, my master left a will that whoever among us brothers can retrieve them will be the next sect leader."
As they spoke, Si Cang's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he suddenly reached out and patted Lin Feng on the back: "Whatever, to be honest, the Yin Yang Flow matter isn't too troublesome. The Evil Yuan Dao is fighting its own internally, so there's no need to worry too much. As for Ghost Shadow, hehe, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."
After saying that, Si Zang circled around Lin Feng, sighing, "Take this thing on your chest, one red and one black, it looks extremely fierce, but you've lost a few years of cultivation, it's all just being washed away by resentment, nothing to worry about~"
Just as Lin Feng was about to ask a question, he suddenly noticed the red words in Si Zang's mouth and hurriedly looked at his chest.
The white, eerie thread had turned crimson and was now faintly drifting towards the sky, spreading boundless blood energy; the black thread was equally bizarre, wrapping around his body before disappearing into the ground.
"Blood Demon, Vengeful Ghost... I learned a few new moves yesterday, it's not bad to practice them."
Seeing Lin Feng's brows suddenly turn serious, Si Zang abandoned his playful thoughts and became quite curious: It shouldn't be Ghost Shadow's people; no matter how crazy those guys are, they wouldn't run wild in the real world.
The Evil Yuan Dao rarely uses such things. Could it be the Yin-Yang Flow?
The enemy that could cause 'Suibian' such distress must not be the Yin-Yang Flow. Those unlucky bastards wouldn't dare to send people here casually; at most, they would try to bribe some ignorant and arrogant participants.
Forget it, why think so much? On their own turf, how could the two of them possibly suffer a loss?
Besides, just when he got off the bus, the star above his head, which seemed to have been mixed with fake fermented rice, seemed to shine even brighter. As long as they join forces, they will definitely be able to surpass his senior brother after some time.
Si Zang chuckled, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then took out a stone platform, laid out his gilded jade-inlaid silk cloud-patterned futon, lifted his Taoist robe, and sat down.
They are now located in the suburbs, and apart from some trees planted on both sides of the road, there is only a wasteland further away.
If the two hadn't happened to be in a neighboring city, they wouldn't have chosen such a place to meet.
Lin Feng turned around and sat down on the stone platform: "Si Zang, can you handle these two lines?"
These two eerie threads not only changed color, but they also burrowed into his brain, constantly transmitting a resentful aura, attempting to implant strange information into his mind.
"Hehe... It is possible, but it will take some time. If you are in a hurry, you can just pull it out."
Should I just pull it out?
Seeing the smile in Si Zang's eyes, Lin Feng immediately understood. He casually took out a scroll from his ring and tossed it to the other party.
"Nightmare Space Cooperation Contract (50): When you can entrust your back to someone, it means you have taken the first real step in the Nightmare Space. After signing the contract, you can enter the mission world together."
A glint immediately flashed in Si Zang's eyes.
