Chapter 106 News from Zhou Family, Promise Ladder
Jiang Changning and Hua Qing were frowning at the flickering contact crystal at the passageway outside the Qu Family Grand Competition.
After the crystal flickered for a while, it remained silent for a long time, and then disappeared again, even showing a crack representing the end of the contact.
Jiang Changning raised his hands and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache: "President, how many chances do you have left to contact the crystal?"
Hua Qing was silent, and said helplessly: "There is only one time left. If there is no one after Unicom, then... there is no chance."
Jiang Changning looked down at his contact crystal in his hand. He thought about it, changed one, then held his breath and slowly injected vitality, and began to contact Zhou Ningchu.
Jiang Changning hadn't met Zhou Ningchu since the last farewell to Lingyun Sect. After careful calculation, more than half a year had passed.
During this period of time, he was too busy to pay attention to Zhou Ningchu's side. Now Zhou Bai's contact with Zhou Bai's side was very strange, and he intuitively told Jiang Changning that something happened to Zhou's family.
This intuition became stronger and stronger, so strong that Jiang Changning could not ignore the palpitations.
At the same time, in a bamboo forest.
Facing Zhou Xu'er who was approaching step by step against his own pressure, Bai Han raised his eyebrows slightly, slightly surprised: "You haven't completely turned into a beast?"
Bai Han is very confident in the coercion of her king of beasts, and being able to withstand the coercion of the white tiger to be alive and kicking, shows that she still retains her sober humanity and has not been swallowed by evil thoughts.
Aware of this, Bai Han looked at Zhou Xu'er cautiously again, and withdrew his coercion slightly.
Zhou Xu'er's breathing was a little calmer, but just at that moment, cold sweat was already breaking out on her forehead, which was sticky and uncomfortably hidden in her broken hair.
She didn't care at all, raised her head and looked at him coldly, still repeating the sentence: "Where is my child?"
Bai Han stared at her condescendingly, and sneered when he heard this: "What qualifications do you have to ask this question? Born but not raised, you and mother don't seem to have any relationship at all."
After being reprimanded by his words, Zhou Xu'er's indifferent eyes rippled a little, and then quickly disappeared.
She took a deep look at Bai Han, knowing that she couldn't ask anything, she turned her head and left, not wanting to waste any more time with him.
Bai Han also withdrew his coercion, then stepped forward, following behind her unhurriedly.
Although Bai Han accepted the coercion, his sense of presence was too strong, and Zhou Xu'er felt depressed if he showed a little casually.
Zhou Xuer suddenly stopped and turned back, staring at him impatiently: "Are you finished? Don't follow me! Why don't you stay cool!"
Bai Han looked up at the sky slowly, and said happily, "I also want to go back to my master to see my master. What do you mean by following you?"
Zhou Xu'er narrowed her eyes slowly, she remembered the man's self-introduction just now, saying that he was the apprentice of the child she had never met, and this man mentioned Master countless times in front of her, he knew she didn't believe it, If it is true or false, there is no need to emphasize it so deliberately, and if it is connected with the coercion of this person's quasi-sacred beast, I am afraid it is also a natal contract.
"Hello." Zhou Xu'er calmed down, her watery eyes returned to gentleness, and she glanced at him lightly, "Are you really my child's apprentice? My grandson?"
Hearing the word "disciple and grandson", Bai Han's eyebrows twitched.
Just now he made his grandma yell fluently, but now he can't listen to what his disciples and grandchildren are saying.
He coughed and replied very reluctantly: "It doesn't matter if it is, if you want to see your son, go back to the house and lie down now. He tossed about the poison in your body for days and nights, but when you woke up Going to kill people is really dedicated."
Zhou Xu'er ignored his ridicule, but Bai Han's words allowed him to capture several important information. Listening to it, she inexplicably had some imagination about her child who had never met.
She fell silent, turned around, and walked back slowly.
Bai Han stood on tiptoe to look up at her, and followed her step by step.
In any case, this is Jiang Changning's mother, so she must treat her well, at least to ensure that she can see Jiang Changning safely.
Zhou Xuer walked all the way back in thought.
She thought so deeply that she didn't even notice the twinkle of tiny beads on her wrist.
Bai Han's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the bracelet looked like a contact crystal, so he reminded: "Grandma, your contact crystal is on."
Zhou Xu'er lowered her head as if waking up from a dream, she was a little dazed when she first saw the glittering beads on her wrist, and then she quickly came back to her senses, her eyebrows slightly frowned.
She glanced back at Bai Han slightly, fell silent for a moment, and quickly asked, "Is there any place to talk around here?"
The implication is that the secret place cannot be heard by outsiders.
Bai Han looked around, but couldn't find any safe place for a while, so he simply raised his hand and built a soundproof space to come out.
Looking at the sky that was suddenly cut off, Zhou Xuer paused for a moment, then looked at Bai Han speechlessly: "Is the original power of the beast used in this place?"
The so-called original power of the beast is to use the ability that cannot be used at the current level, such as Bai Han's easy-to-handle space.
Bai Han shrugged, pointed to the flickering flickering crystal on her wrist and said, "Quickly listen, or the time limit for contacting the crystal will pass."
Zhou Xu'er glanced at him. Given that the quasi-sacred beast of unknown species had used its original power for him, she felt that she could still trust it, so she simply connected to the contact crystal.
The contact crystal lit up, and a deep middle-aged man's voice came from there. The man spoke with surprise and excitement: "Xu'er? Are you back?"
After hearing the voice, Zhou Xuer paused, as if in a daze for a moment, then turned her head to look at Bai Han.
Bai Han listened to Zhou Xuer's movement with his ears upright, and was accidentally caught by Zhou Xuer.
But Zhou Xu'er just stared at him, her watery eyes fluctuated with an indistinguishable light, then slowly raised her hand, and said in a low voice to the bracelet: "Yes, I'm back."
After hearing the clear reply over there, they were silent for a moment, then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said repeatedly: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back—"
Zhou Xu'er lowered her eyes, staring at the bricks on the ground as if she was distracted, and it took a long time before she opened her mouth, "Brother, my family has been fine in the past few years I have been away."
Hearing this, Zhou Bai on the other end gave a wry smile and sighed, "It would be great if you came back a month ago and asked me this question."
Zhou Xuer's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Is something wrong at home?"
Zhou Bai's voice sounded slowly, mixed with exhaustion: "A month ago, some poisonous weeds grew out of nowhere in the medicine field. Some common medicinal materials are infected with poison. Many disciples who collected medicinal herbs did not notice the poisonous thorns on the medicinal materials, and fell unconscious after being pricked with their fingers, and we have no way to do it."
"Poisonous weed?" Zhou Xu'er frowned even deeper, she looked up at Bai Han with a questioning look in her eyes.
Bai Han could hear clearly from the side. Seeing this, he pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
Recently, he has not heard of the appearance of any heterogeneous poisonous weeds.
Zhou Bai only had time to say another word in a hurry: "These poisonous weeds also have the effect of corroding spirit stones. This contact crystal can only last for a while after being stained with poisonous juice. If it is convenient for you, come back and talk about it in detail when you come back."
"Hey——" Zhou Xu'er didn't say a word, and the contact crystal in her hand disappeared, and then slowly cracked, shattered into powder and disappeared with the wind.
Bai Han looked over thoughtfully: "That one just now, is that Zhou Bai?"
Zhou Xuer stared at the powder and frowned, then nodded when she heard the words, "It's him, why, you know him too?"
Bai Han snorted and said inexplicably, "It seems that you left in a real hurry and didn't explain anything. I don't know that your elder brother helped you protect Jiang Changning for more than ten years."
"Chang Ning—" Zhou Xu'er narrowed her eyes after hearing the surname, "Shouldn't my child be surnamed Qu?"
Bai Han waved his hands, and said slowly: "It's a long story, I haven't thought about standing here and chatting with you, grandma, please, let's go back to the room and talk about it."
……
At the same time, Jiang Changning connected Zhou Ningchu's contact crystal.
Zhou Ningchu's joyful voice burst out, "What's wrong, senior brother?"
Although they have already confirmed that they are cousins, but Zhou Ningchu's senior brother who has been calling him for so many years is used to it, and he doesn't bother to change it.
Jiang Changning responded softly, and went straight to the point: "Are you still practicing outside?"
Jiang Changning had already contacted Zhou Ningchu when Zhou Bai's contact crystal could not be reached before, but at that time Zhou Ningchu was in a dangerous situation and did not contact Zhou's family. Jiang Changning was afraid that Zhou Ningchu's attention would be distracted. Talk to her about it.
Now that Zhou Bai suddenly appeared and then disappeared, Jiang Changning was really afraid that something would happen to Zhou's family, so he had no choice but to contact Zhou Ningchu again.
Zhou Ningchu's voice was still lively and jumping: "Yes, I just finished visiting the poisonous forest in the south of the wilderness plain. They said it was scary, but in fact, there are some basic poisonous weeds in them. I picked a lot of them. By the way—— Brother, are you at the master's house now? I heard from those businessmen that the young master of the Qu family is called Jiang Changning, and I will go and play with you when I am free."
Jiang Changning pursed his lips, and asked tentatively: "You are practicing outside, is the route drawn up by the Zhou family? Why did you go directly to the poisonous forest?"
Zhou Ningchu said with a smile: "Master asked me to go out to explore the poisonous forest. He said that our Zhou family ceremony needs to be updated."
"The Zhou Family Ceremony needs to be updated?" Hearing this, some inexplicable thoughts slipped through Jiang Changning's mind.
Zhou Ningchu said with a "hmm": "It is said that some new poisonous weeds have appeared again. Master told me to look around and contact him if I find anything new. But now I have to go to the Promise Ladder. It seems that someone from the upper world has come. .
The Promise Ladder? !
Jiang Changning said in amazement: "Isn't the Promise Ladder open every 20 years? It's only been 17 years since the last time I was alive."
The last time the Promise Ladder appeared in the world was the year he was born.
There was a whistling wind on Zhou Ningchu's side, probably flying in the air, she replied with a loud voice: "It is said that this time the power competition was held in advance because of the Promise Ladder, I don't know the rest of the situation, the master just let I'll go check it out and contact him again."
Jiang Changning: "When was the last time you contacted Master?"
Zhou Ning thought for a while, "Three days ago."
Jiang Changning was silent for a moment, and replied: "Okay, you go to the Promise Ladder first, and I will find you after I finish my work here."
"Okay!" Zhou Ningchu said cheerfully, "I just happen to be too boring to travel alone!"
Jiang Changning continued to ask: "Where is the address where the Promise Ladder appeared this time?"
Zhou Ningchu yelled against the wind: "The red world in the central mountain range! Ahhh no way, brother, I'll go first, the fog here is too big to be able to Yujian."
Central Mountains...
It was the place where Jiang Changning condensed the green poison stone.
"Be careful." Jiang Changning said quickly.
The contact crystal split open, announcing the completion of a contact.
Jiang Changning looked at the crystal in his hand, his almond eyes narrowed slightly.
Hearing such great news, even Hua Qing, who was as calm as he was, couldn't help pacing.He stopped in his tracks, frowned and said, "It's no wonder that the Qu family's big competition was a year and a half ahead of schedule. It seems that the Yinshi family has already received the news, so they have moved ahead of this year's major power competitions."
Jiang Changning put away the crystal and remained silent.
The major powers in the Promise Continent are like a pyramid, and the four hermit families are at the top. They are the kings of the four domains, and they also hold the only channel to communicate with the envoys from the upper world.
Now that the Promise Ladder was born ahead of schedule, it is estimated that it was the news from the envoy from the upper realm.
If the Bodhi Palace is to provide cultivation resources for major forces and practitioners, then the Promise Ladder is a platform for testing mainland practitioners, testing level, testing potential, and testing perseverance.
There are 99 ladders in the Promise Ladder, and if you cross the 99th floor, you can become a god. It is the only way for mainland practitioners to become a god. If you miss it, you will have to wait another 20 years.
But the premise is that pure human cultivators will be rejected by the Eternal Ladder, and cannot enter the test area of the Ladder.
Advancement of the Promise Ladder is a big deal. The Hermit family will spread the word widely when they get the news, and notify the mainland practitioners to prepare in advance, but this year there is no news at all.
Thinking of this, Jiang Changning turned around and walked to the competition field again, calling Bai Han in his heart.
Bai Han's lazy voice popped out, "Where have you been? Why haven't you come here yet?"
Jiang Changning replied: "I've been delayed for a while because of something, please help me take care of it first, and I'll be there later."
"Ok?"
Bai Han blinked, and after Jiang Changning's voice disappeared, he looked up at Zhou Xu'er, who was looking forward to it, and said strangely, "Wait a little longer, he has something to do and can't get through for now."
The light of expectation in Zhou Xuer's eyes disappeared instantly.
She played with the transparent hairpin and said in a low voice, "Go on, I want to hear it again."
Bai Han was already thirsty. He spread it out on the table and said weakly, "Although, I haven't known him for long. If you want to hear him from when he was a baby, then probably I have to find Zhou Bai."
Zhou Xu'er looked disappointed and looked at Bai Han silently.
Bai Han's eyes drifted left and right, and he didn't really want to meet her eyes.
Zhou Xu'er stared at Bai Han, who was pretending to be dead, and said quietly, "You don't even know the past of your contract partner, so can you be called a contractor?"
Bai Hanteng sat up, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Who said I didn't know!"
Zhou Xuer stared at him.
The belated Bai Han: "..."
Hold.
Counted.
