Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

Zhang Shiyin also had trouble sleeping that night. He spent the whole night thinking about what he and Zhong Wanling said in the ancestral hall. He visited Zhong Cheng earlier last night, and spent the whole night inquiring about news from the servants of Yulan Residence, and learned more or less what the Xuantian Selection was like.

He thought about it all night and finally came to some realization. But he didn't know whether he should support his daughter in participating in the dragon-phoenix fight. It seemed too dishonorable.

But the next day, Zhang Shiyin's attendants brought back two pieces of news, which made him shaken again.

"Sir, you are so powerful. Miss Wan Lan’s dream divination talent may have been passed down from you."

Zhang Shiyin impatiently interrupted the attendant's flattery."Let's get to the point. The attendant nodded and bowed with a smile:"Yes, yes, sir, how did you know that the beautiful young master would break through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm overnight?" Even Mengmeng Pavilion and Xuanxing Pavilion don't know about this. You are really amazing. Now, Master Jianan is completely crushing other candidates. No, even if Master Jieshan is here, it will be difficult to compete with him. The spot this time must go to Mr. Jia Nan. Hi, the handsome young master is worthy of being the younger brother of the young lady. Both siblings are geniuses blessed by God."

Zhang Shiyin's expression changed, and the conversation in the ancestral hall yesterday flashed back to his mind.

"You see, in a few days Zhong Jianan will make rapid progress again. Without my stop, he will be the master of this quota. Do you think he will break through through normal means? No, he won't, never. He is just mediocre. What will a mediocre person do once he takes over?"

An indescribable emotion surged in Zhang Shiyin's chest."It's not me, it's Wan Lan."

He has never believed in any prophecy, but he has to believe it now. However, the predicted future has come too fast. Yesterday it was said that Zhong Jianan would"create another miracle" and have a"breakthrough", and today he made a breakthrough; Yesterday she said that Zhong Jianan might"overwhelm" the other disciples of the Immortal Sect, but today he has become a genius second only to Zhong Wanling.

So what about eradicating the grass and roots she said?

Will they take action against Wan Lan in advance?

After hearing this, the attendant Stunned, he laughed and said repeatedly:"That's no wonder, that's no wonder……"He seemed to have thought of something, covered his mouth, and sighed:"I'm afraid the young lady has already achieved enlightenment." Zhang Shiyin glanced at him doubtfully, and the attendant quickly explained:"The young lady is divine, the prophecy has come true, and the curse has come true. It came true!"

"curse?

The attendant reported truthfully:"Returning to the master, Elder Zhong Shi was found dead in his residence this morning." According to the servants of Haitang Garden, the death of Elder Zhong Shi was extremely tragic, unlike what ordinary people could do, and the government did not care about it."

"Jong-sil is dead? Has the government already seen it?"

The attendant nodded in agreement.

Zhang Shiyin felt strange. Although Laoxianmen is large in size, it is not considered a city, so naturally it does not have a government office. The government office directly under Laoxianmen is Fuchun County, which is two or three miles away from Laoshan. Ten miles away. Even if the investigating officer and police officer get the spirit bird to report the crime, it will take them most of a day to get there.

"It took half a day to get here from Fuchun County. How could we find out this morning that the officials arrived not long after?

The attendant recalled it for a moment and replied:"Oh, that should be the case." There was actually another commotion last night. Wufu Tower was robbed last night, but the eldest daughter of the Zou family insisted on reporting it to the police, and asked the Zou family's steward in Fuchun City to ask the investigating officer to come over overnight. As a result, as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, the body of Elder Zhong Shi was discovered in Haitang Garden."

"Are you so aggressive just because you were robbed?"Zhang Shiyin said doubtfully. He didn't like this sister-in-law very much. He thought she was just a country woman who didn't know etiquette, but this was too outrageous.

"Well, I heard from people near Wufu Tower that there was a lot of noise at night. It seemed that the man didn't want to get money, but wanted to kill someone. The eldest daughter of the Zou family and the young master were almost killed by thieves. Fortunately, there were experts in Wufu Tower at that time."

"Master?

The guard nodded and replied,"I heard that it was Zhong Shi who was working for the beautiful young master at that time.""

Zhang Shiyin was puzzled. He thought about it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt."Zhong Shi just opened a small stove for someone, and the person who turned around was killed?"

The attendant nodded, this is indeed a bit strange.

"What does this have to do with Wanlan? The attendant paused, glanced upstairs with some embarrassment, and said,"Yesterday, the young lady had a quarrel with Elder Zhong Shi outside the Eight Immortals Hall. I heard that... she seemed to have cursed Elder Zhong Shi.""

Zhang Shiyin couldn't help but twitching his face when he heard this. Sometimes his daughter is so mature and sharp that people think she doesn't look like a teenager, and sometimes she is so reckless and rude that it is a headache."Isn't it just a few words of rebuttal? ? How can this be counted? It’s true, Wan Lan, when will she learn some rules."

The corner of the attendant's mouth twitched. Who in the Lao Xian Sect doesn't know that Miss Wan Lan can predict dreams? Who dares to question a dream diviner's words? But this old man just doesn't believe it. I'm afraid that in the entire Lao Xian Sect, only He will not pay attention to Miss Wanlan's words

"Sir, Elder Zhong Shi's affairs are full of weirdness, and the government doesn't dare to take care of it because of this. Moreover, many people heard what the young lady said about cursing the elder that day."

"Can many people prove that Wan Lan killed someone after hearing it? absurd! Zhang Shiyin was furious,"There are many people who have heard it, and there are many people who can take advantage of it." He Zhongshi has always been rich and unkind and has many enemies. Why should he blame Wan Lan on me! ?"

"It doesn’t work! What the lady said is that Elder Zhong Shi will be infected by the demonic barrier, and his spiritual power will be drained, and even his body will not be intact. This...how can anyone do this kind of killing method?"

Zhang Shiyin clicked his tongue. What ridiculous and rude things did that bastard Zhong Wanling say? This kind of death is more terrifying than thunder and lightning. It's a shame she can curse.……"No, how can such a state of death be possible?……"

The attendant looked back at him, and the awkward and even frightened expression on his face confirmed Zhang Shiyin's guess.

Zhang Shiyin's mind went blank.

It was impossible for his daughter to kill someone, let alone use such evil and crooked methods as spells. But what would the people of Laoxianmen think of such a coincidence? Will they suspect that Zhong Wanling killed Zhong Shi? How will Zhong Wanling gain a foothold in Laoxianmen in the future?

Zhong Wanling's words popped up in his mind again at an inappropriate time.

"You think you are in a clear sky, but in fact you are in the center of a storm."

Zhang Shiyin didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. He was afraid, confused, panicked, uneasy, and at a loss. He felt as if he was in a fog that was completely suspended up and down, front, back, left, and right.

"After Xuantian's selection, within three years, they must get rid of me to avoid future troubles. They will ruthlessly remove any obstacles that stand in their way. Do you think they can let me go without doing anything?"

Zhang Shiyin stepped forward and walked towards Zhong Wanling's study upstairs without looking back. He waved away the maid guarding the door and pushed open the door.

Zhong Wanling was sitting on the windowsill with a book in his hand. Looking out the window, this sitting posture does not have the temperament of a lady at all, but there is an indescribable chicness.

Zhang Shiyin had no time to criticize Zhong Wanling for his bad manners, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhong Wanling's arms, and said,"Dad, I want to pass. You are right, we cannot sit still and wait for death. I asked, is there any other way to select Xuantian besides the recommendation from aristocratic families. We can't go to that Qilinhui, but we can go to the dragon-phoenix fight! At this time, don't worry about your appearance. Dad will go with you. I believe you can make it happen!"

Zhong Wanling looked at his suddenly excited father in surprise. After a while, he uttered four words."It's too late."

Zhang Shiyin looked at her at a loss, as if he didn't understand what he meant."Why is it too late?……"

Zhong Wanling got off the window sill, walked to the desk, and threw the book in his hand on the table casually."Dragon and Phoenix Dou has no threshold for aristocratic families, so there are naturally more people to screen. It is impossible for everyone to go to the venue to compete at once, so each place will sign up for the selection in advance. The first round of selection should be over now. The list of primary candidates has also been reported to the various state academic institutions."

Zhang Shiyin stood there in disbelief.

It was too late.

He was still hesitating about whether it was decent or not, but this road was already blocked.

Zhang Shiyin rarely felt the despair of being helpless. He walked back discouraged, but when he saw the book that Zhong Wanling had thrown on the table, he froze.

"Are you researching curses?"

Zhong Wanling followed Zhang Shiyin's gaze and saw the book she had just thrown on the desk. This was for her previous research on whether there was something that could replace the wine dragon claw, which could double the physical and mental strength of the human body. There were also books that were found because they were hallucinogenic and made people crazy. Looking at Zhang Shiyin's shocked and solemn expression, she guessed that Zhang Shiyin must have connected this with Zhong Shi's death. The Legend of the

Maid The news came that some people blamed Zhong Shi's death on her"curse", but those rumors would not spread for long, so there was nothing to worry about.

Zhong Wanling took the book aside and said,"Father, don't worry too much, Wan Lan He won't kill people with curses. The curse requires huge sacrifices and many conditions, and the curser will eventually be counterattacked. This is a very uneconomical method. She comforted Zhang Shiyin,"I still want to enter the Shangqing Sect to study. I can't do it here. I have to sacrifice myself for these people.""

Zhang Shiyin looked at Zhong Wanling complicatedly.

Zhong Wanling's smile looked free and peaceful, but Zhang Shiyin only felt that it was like a mask, covering up the despair and hatred under the mask.

How could she not be desperate and go Hate?

Comparing his feelings, if it were him, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't kill someone. If he couldn't kill, he could curse him.

He had never thought about the difference between the world of immortals and their mortals, but now he really felt it There was an invisible barrier between him and his wife and children, firmly separating them. He beat the barrier desperately, frantically searching for a crack, but he was unable to save it.

But, how could he watch his daughter being tortured by these things? Are people driven to evil ways?

Shi Yin made up his mind. He walked to Zhong Wanling and held her shoulders, saying,"Wan Lan, wait for dad for two more days. Give dad two more days, and dad will find something."

Zhong Wanling looked at Zhang Shi doubtfully. Yin, she couldn't understand Zhang Shiyin's determination, nor did she understand the content of his words. What two days? What can be solved in two days?

Zhang Shiyin said no more. He hugged his daughter hard and left Zhong Wanling's study without saying a word.

Zhong Wanling looked at his father's leaving figure and suddenly felt some hope in his heart. She didn't know what she was expecting, or in other words, she knew better than to expect anything. This time Xuantian's selection was already a dead end in Zhong Wanling's opinion, and there was no chance of recovery. Instead of struggling, prepare for the next round earlier.

However, when she looked at Zhang Shiyin's resolute back, she was shaken.

She wanted this man to succeed in whatever he was planning to do, even if it wasn't for her.
