Volume 7: Frost Chapter 67 Identity
Zhong Minghong and the other two rushed out of the pavilion.
After standing still, Tang Butian turned around and just saw Jiang Mo walking down the stairs with the rabbit in his arms, staggering step by step.
The clouds filled the air behind him. The eaves, columns, stone tables, and the two figures, one sitting and one standing, gradually became blurred and unreal, and finally disappeared completely in the thick clouds.
Jiang Mo stopped ten meters away from the pavilion and tilted his head to look at Zhong Minghong and the other two.
Wang Jin met his gaze and subconsciously took a step forward, but saw a wooden sword lying in front of her. Then, she heard Tang Butian say to her, "Don't go over there."
After saying that, Tang Butian took back the wooden sword.
Wang Jin hesitated for a moment and then stopped.
Zhong Minghong stared at Jiang Mo's face for a while, then turned to face Tang Butian. He said, "Such a direct provocation... Why did I hear that he was a very sophisticated person?"
Tang Butian didn't answer.
Wang Jin said, "He was pretending too much along the way."
Hearing this, Zhong Minghong looked at Wang Jin and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Wang Jin told Zhong Minghong what happened after she met Jiang You.
After hearing this, Zhong Minghong asked Tang Butian for confirmation: "Is that so?"
Tang Butian said, "Yes."
"Did he say anything to you before going up the mountain?" Zhong Minghong asked again.
"No."
" He will live in the mountains..."
"He will come down the mountain." Tang Butian interrupted Zhong Minghong.
"What?" A hint of surprise flashed across Zhong Minghong's face.
"He doesn't like it here," Tang Butian raised her head slightly and faced Zhong Minghong's scrutiny, "I will take him down the mountain."
"Have you figured out his background?"
Tang Butian pursed her lips.
Zhong Minghong said: "Mr. Zhuang has mentioned him to me several times. At first, I suspected that he was a demon in disguise, or that he was possessed by another spirit."
"If that's the case, then he is naturally on the opposite side of us." Zhong Minghong paused and observed Tang Butian's reaction.
Tang Butian's expression remained as indifferent as usual.
Zhong Minghong went on to say, "When I was young, I also met some demons and monsters. I could even say that they were my friends. After some things happened, I realized that demons are not necessarily bad, but we are completely different species from them. In many ways, we are naturally opposed. The best way to get along with them is to keep a distance when there is no conflict. Once it comes to major issues, we should act according to our own principles."
Tang Butian said: "He thinks he is an ordinary person."
Zhong Minghong sighed and smiled, "I hope so too. Another possibility is that he is the reincarnation of a powerful being, but his memory has only been awakened in recent years. But even if his memory is awakened, he still needs to practice again, and I don't think what happened in Luo Town is that simple."
"What if it's a law?" Tang Butian asked.
"What's the meaning?"
"He can see a lot of things. The power that we think is incredible may just be that he takes what he sees in his hands and puts it together. The things he knew in his previous life, the laws."
"It's not impossible," Zhong Minghong pondered for a moment, then he said: "In this case, we need to understand his attitude, position and purpose. I hope he has good intentions. I also tend to think he has good intentions because you brought him up the mountain. After I received the news, I waited for you here with Zhang Xianren, and also prepared some things he would need on the mountain..."
"But you also saw that when he arrived, he directly provoked Zhang Xianren, which made me doubt his purpose of going up the mountain," Zhong Minghong emphasized, "Tang Butian, this is where you grew up. I had selfish motives in planning for you to go down the mountain, but there is no place on the mountain that can let you down."
Tang Butian was about to speak when some noises came from the direction of the pavilion. The three of them looked in that direction at the same time.
I don't know when Jiang Mo disappeared.
A gray rabbit squatted on the grass and looked at them innocently.
Suddenly a strong wind blew up.
Several cranes rushed out from the mist, flapping their wings and stumbling past Zhong Minghong and the other two. After landing on the ground, they took several steps before they steady themselves.
Wang Jin realized something at once. She looked at Zhong Minghong and said, "The mountain protection formation has been broken?"
The wind dispersed the clouds a little.
The outline of the pavilion can be vaguely discerned, as well as two people sitting opposite each other in the pavilion.
Zhong Minghong said: "Trust Immortal Zhang."
Jiang You picked up a crane feather from the stone table, played with it in his hand for a while, and then said, "The cat in our department was brought down from the mountain by the department chief. His name is Zhaocai."
"The kitten?" asked Zhang Xianren.
"Yes, he's gained a lot of weight now," Jiang You took out his phone and showed Zhang Xianren the photo of Zhaocai. "I wanted to bring him back to visit his family this time, but he didn't want to."
Zhang Xianren was looking through the recruitment photos while listening to Jiang You talk.
"If it can't stay here, don't even mention me. I feel uncomfortable without the internet for such a short time. I still have many important things to do."
"What's the big deal?"
"I must defeat Mr. Xu this year. After losing to him last year, I have no interest in playing chess anymore. Recently, I've been into comic books. Shangmei has recently reprinted a lot of them, and they're 32k hardcovers. The balance won't be paid until next month..." Jiang You counted his plans one by one, "And my yard. Turn the page, there are photos of my yard..."
Zhang Xianren saw the yard and his eyes fell on the camphor tree in the corner of the photo. A blurred coal tit was poking its head out of the bird's nest.
"This is Jiujiu, who plays very well with Zhaocai."
Immortal Zhang put down his phone and pushed it back in front of Jiang You. "You pointed out the flaws of the teleportation array and broke my mountain protection array. Are you trying to show that you don't want to stay on the mountain?"
"The formation has nothing to do with me," Jiang You denied.
Immortal Zhang looked outside and saw Jiang Mo sitting with his back to them on a protruding rock not far away, swinging his legs. The spiritual energy in the mountain-protecting formation was also surging with the shaking.
"Children are naughty and curious. They can't help themselves when they see new toys." Jiang You picked up the phone, swiped his fingers across the screen a few times, clicked on the Lianliankan app, and found that Lianliankan required the Internet, so he had to put the phone away and said, "The section chief told me about some things on the mountain."
"Is Tang not sweet?"
"Yes, she told me that strength is respected in the mountains."
"Yes."
"I'm always embarrassed to embarrass a little girl," Jiang You looked at Zhang Xianren and said, "Since this rule exists, you see, I can't stay on the mountain, and I don't like conflicts with others. You can sit down and talk it out, drink some tea and chat, and it can be solved with words, why use a knife?"
"I was negligent in not preparing tea."
"It's okay, I brought my own," Jiang You bent down and took out two packs of Vita Lemon Tea from his backpack and put them on the table, "It'll be good if I can chill it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin layer of frost formed on the outer surface of the packaging.
"Thank you." Jiang You tore off the straw, poked it open, and took a big sip.
"Have you ever thought that in this secular world, your will will unconsciously change many things around you, and even change the rules. This may not be a good thing for you or the world?"
"Old Xu has always mocked me for having a weak fighting spirit, and I think he's quite right. In fact, I am the one who has been assimilated by this world," Jiang You pointed at himself, "Do you see my body? It's all assimilated."
Immortal Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Just treat it as a visit. I'll let Xiao Tang take you around. After we finish this, you can go down the mountain together."
"About the body?"
Immortal Zhang nodded, "Since we've detected something unusual, the body is no longer suitable to be kept in the research institute."
"Okay, then I'll treat this as a retreat to lose weight."
Immortal Zhang looked at Jiang Mo again, "It's not easy for creatures on the mountain to grow..."
"It will be fine once there is internet. I can show him a short video or play a game, and he will be quiet."
