Jade City, Demon Suppression Division.
Zhang Lingshan and Kong Dagui went non-stop and went to see Cang Changzhen as soon as possible.
"Back."
Cang Changzhen was at his desk approving documents. He raised his head and glanced at the two of them. His eyes suddenly focused and fell on Kong Dagui.
But he quickly set his eyes on Zhang Lingshan again and said, "Has your father been rescued?"
"Rescued. Thank you for your concern."
Zhang Lingshan raised his hand.
Cang Changzhen nodded and said, "Just rescue him, so you can prepare for the Demon Suppression Envoy selection with peace of mind."
"Yes. But I don't know when the preliminary screening will start. I'm afraid I won't have enough time, because I will be seventeen in a month."
Zhang Lingshan asked.
Cang Changzhen frowned. "You will be seventeen in one month. In that case, without further ado, I will take you there myself."
"Thank you, sir."
"Let's go."
Cang Changzhen acted vigorously and let Kong Dagui rest by himself, then took Zhang Lingshan into Backyard's room.
He put his handprint on the wall, and a door to the underground opened.
Follow the passage all the way down.
As we walked deeper, we suddenly saw an underground circular palace, like an upside-down bowl.
The bowl is supported by nine huge stone pillars.
Zhang Lingshan noticed that the nine stone pillars were engraved with different Talisman Rune. Unfortunately, the patterns were complicated and he didn't recognize them at all.
If Celestial Crane Daoist is here, he should know a little bit about it.
But even though Zhang Lingshan doesn't know much about Formation and Talisman Rune, he also knows that he is already in a Formation at this moment.
It's just that this Formation has not started up. Even if it does start up, it will not kill Formation, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Come to me, grab my shoulders and don't let go."
Cang Changzhen stood in front of a stone pillar and gave instructions.
Zhang Lingshan followed immediately and grabbed Cang Changzhen's shoulder with his right hand. He felt that this person's shoulders were hard, which showed that his physical constitution was very strong. He was worthy of being the strongest Jade Province.
"Eight Directions Divine Pillars, help me Tracking. disease!"
I saw Cang Changzhen spread his right hand and printed it on the stone pillar. At the same time, he made a seal with his left hand and shouted sharply.
Wow!
The world suddenly changed, and the foggy atmosphere immediately drowned Zhang Lingshan and Cang Changzhen.
Zhang Lingshan's heart moved: 'Is this Mist Realm?'
It turns out that the stone pillar is the passage into the Mist Realm.
But it's just a passage into the Mist Realm. Is it necessary to make it so mysterious?
You must know that Night Zi can easily find the passage of the Mist Realm, and if it smashes a Bright Jade Pearl, it can also forcefully enter Mist Realm.
Even if you don't have these means, if you find a Mountain God Temple stronghold built by the Hidden Sect, you still have a chance to enter Mist Realm.
It can be seen that there are many ways to enter Mist Realm.
There is no need to make it as mysterious as Demon Suppression Division.
So what's the point?
Right.
Zhang Lingshan figured it out the moment he had doubts.
Because the purpose of this trip is not to enter Mist Realm, but to participate in the preliminary screening of Demon Suppression Envoy.
Then contact and read the words when Cang Changzhen entered.
The answer is ready to come out.
'It seems that the stone pillar Formation has the effect of Tracking and can take us directly to the destination of preliminary screening.'
Zhang Lingshan thought in his heart.
"Have you been to the Mist Realm?" Cang Changzhen suddenly asked.
Because most people will be nervous when entering Mist Realm for the first time, especially when being overwhelmed by the foggy and sticky smell, it will make people panic.
But Zhang Lingshan didn't look nervous at all. On the contrary, he was extremely calm.
If you haven't been to the Mist Realm, how can you explain it?
Zhang Lingshan naturally knew this truth, so he said honestly, "While tracing the trace of the Heavenly Corpse Sect with Supervisor Kong, we accidentally entered Mountain God Temple. Who knew that it was the stronghold of the Hidden Sect, so we entered Mist Realm by accident."
"That's it."
Cang Changzhen nodded and said, "Since you have entered Mist Realm and can still get out, then I don't need to waste any more words. I just want to ask you a question, what do you think is different about entering Mist Realm this time from before?"
Zhang Lingshan pretended to be thoughtful, and then said, "When we entered Mist Realm before, the world suddenly changed. But this time, after so long, we are still in the mist, following the flow of mist. It seems that this mist flow is taking us somewhere?"
"Clever!"
Cang Changzhen praised and said with a smile, "That's exactly it. Then can you tell us where we are going?"
"Demon Suppression Envoy selection preliminary screening place?"
Zhang Lingshan guessed.
I thought in my heart, Cang Changzhen is treating this person like a three-year-old child, asking such an obvious question.
If you have the guts, ask the four-year-old.
"Not bad!"
Cang Changzhen nodded, and then said in a deep voice, "We will be there soon. Let me remind you, if you lie about your age, you will die here. Even if I want to protect you, I can't. Now if you are willing to tell the truth and there is still room for regret, I will take you back immediately."
"My subordinates have always told the truth."
Zhang Lingshan said without panic at all.
Cang Changzhen said, "It's good to tell the truth, but I'm afraid that you may have misrecorded your birth time, or your parents may have misrecorded it. If it is eventually found that your age does not match, you will also die."
"This..."
Zhang Lingshan suddenly felt bad.
God knows if my parents will remember the difference. Don't say that I traveled through it halfway, my memory may not be fully absorbed.
Even if you are the original person, what if your brain is not Spirit Light and you miss the date?
If something unexpected happened this time, who would you go to for explanation?
His grandma's.
Neither Cang Changzhen nor Kong Dagui made it clear earlier. If you had made it clear earlier, I might not come.
"But if you don't hide it deliberately, I will protect you."
Cang Changzhen finally said something reassuring, but added, "I just want you to bleed heavily, and you will have to pay me back then."
"..."
Zhang Lingshan is speechless.
It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
This is a warning to myself in advance. If I fail the initial screening, I will have to sell myself to work for Cang Changzhen.
After all, my strength is on display here.
Failure to pass the preliminary screening only means that the age does not match, and it has nothing to do with strength.
Even if he is forty years old now, such strength is worth cultivating. Cang Changzhen is not a fool, so he can naturally see his own value.
All in all, no matter whether it passes the initial screening or not, Cang Changzhen is not a loss anyway, otherwise it would be so enthusiastic to send it to myself.
"I understand! Thank you Boss Cang."
Since Zhang Lingshan knew what the other party was thinking, he also called him Kong Dagui, and no longer called him Pacification Commissioner.
Cang Changzhen indeed showed a smile, very satisfied with the title Boss Cang, and said with a smile, "Xiao Shan, relax, this preliminary screening test is very simple. Look, we are here at that house!"
Zhang Lingshan Take a closer look.
Sure enough, I saw a house.
But it wasn't the big hall he imagined, but a small Thatched Cottage, surrounded by fences and with some unknown flowers and plants planted in the yard.
In the center is a pavilion.
An old man sat in the pavilion with his eyes closed and fell asleep. He heard the footsteps of Cang Changzhen and Zhang Lingshan, and then he opened his eyes and said, "It's you, Lao Cang, why are you here again? Are you ready to make an appointment to leave?"
As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Lingshan and said in surprise, "Why is there a new person? Isn't it your great-nephew Cang You'er? Could it be that there is another good seedling?"
"Not bad, haha."
Cang Changzhen laughed, "I didn't expect Old Wang, two of us Jade Province will participate in the Demon Suppression Envoy selection this time! God bless Jade Province!"
"Haha, what two people? This one hasn't passed the preliminary screening yet." The old man poured cold water on them unceremoniously.
Cang Changzhen hummed. "Then why don't you test it quickly?"
"Test, test, test."
As the old man spoke, he took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms, sprinkled it into an empty tea cup, poured a cup of tea into it, handed it to Zhang Lingshan and said, "Little brother, please have some tea."
"Thank you."
Zhang Lingshan picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.
Although he didn't know what the medicinal powder was used for, he was not afraid at all. Even if it was extremely poisonous, more than 50 million Energy Points could withstand it.
"How does it taste?" the old man asked with a smile.
Zhang Lingshan said truthfully, "It's a bit sour and doesn't taste good."
"Haha!"
The old man laughed, "You should tell the truth. Okay, the effect of the medicine has started to take effect. I have a stone here. Just hold the stone with both hands."
As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, placed a stone three times the size of a goose egg on the table, and motioned for Zhang Lingshan to pick it up.
Zhang Lingshan stretched out his hand as instructed, and as soon as he hugged the stone, he felt something suddenly start to flow in his body and surge into the stone.
'Is that the medicinal power of the powder?'
Zhang Lingshan's heart moved and he understood.
This medicinal powder is not poison. Its function is very simple. It walks around your body and detects your age through the internal system.
And now, it is to feed the detected information back to the stone.
Soon.
Zhang Lingshan I felt like all the medicine in my body had drained away.
Wow.
The stone in his hand suddenly glowed, and a large character immediately floated on top of the stone. "One."
"Huh!?"
The old man was taken aback, grabbed the stone from Zhang Lingshan's hand, and started banging it.
Cang Changzhen also looked surprised. "What's going on, one year old? For such a big person, you say he is one year old? This Detection Stone can't be broken, right?"
"Uh..."
Zhang Lingshan showed just the right amount of doubt and surprise.
But my heart was shocked.
Because judging from the time I traveled through, it was indeed just over a year.
This Detection Stone is so incredible that it can detect the time of its own soul?
Bang bang bang.
The old man continued to hammer and muttered, "I have long said that this Detection Stone is unreliable. I haven't even used it a few times and it is so broken..."
Just talking.
I saw the floating words on the stone flickering and turned into. "Sixteen."
"Hey, okay, I really deserve a spanking, just a few slaps will be enough."
The old man put the stone away with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad. He has become so strong at the age of sixteen, which is much stronger than your grandnephew Cang You'er. What is the young man's name?"
"Junior Zhang Lingshan."
"Zhang Family, a spiritual generation, so young?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I almost forgot that you belong to our Jade Province and have nothing to do with the Central Province Zhang Family."
Say it.
He pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "I suggest you change your name."
"Change your name?"
Zhang Lingshan was stunned. "Why?"
The old man said, "Central Province Zhang Family is full of talents. If you go to Central Province to participate in the Demon Suppression Envoy selection, you will definitely meet the Zhang Family children. They You are very concerned about your own generation. If you use the word "ling", you will violate other people's taboos, which is equivalent to giving birth to two or even three generations of young people out of thin air. So I suggest you remove the word "ling" and change your name to Zhang Shan to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Haha!"
Zhang Lingshan laughed, "I was born called Zhang Lingshan. I can't change my name when I work, and I can't change my surname when I sit down. Is it a taboo? I think they violated my taboo!"
Before time travel, my name was Zhang Lingshan, and after time travel, it was still Zhang Lingshan. God didn't let him change his name. What the hell are you talking about, Central Province Zhang Family, to make him change his name?
"Haha!"
The old man also smiled, "Well said! That's right. Since you have participated in the Demon Suppression Envoy selection, you can't be timid. If you really change your name, you will lose from the beginning. Not bad, Lao Cang, this time our Jade Province has a good seedling. It seems that both of us have a chance to return to Central Province."
Cang Changzhen said, "After so many years, something good should happen. However, are you sure you won't take another test? What if the age is wrong? If Central Province takes the re-examination and finds that there is something wrong with the age, not only will the effort be in vain, the two of us will even be punished."
The old man nodded heavily. "You're right, to be on the safe side, it's time to test it. Come on Zhang Lingshan, drink another pack of powder. Because you are big, I guess the powder you had before was not enough, so I will give you an extra pack."
"Okay."
Zhang Lingshan felt helpless, but also a little curious, whether Detection Stone and the medicinal powder could really determine his age when he traveled through time.
For this reason.
This time he closed his eyes and forcibly closed his head without thinking.
No.
It is impossible not to think about it.
Must think of something.
Zhang Lingshan moved in his heart and began to recite <Jade Emperor Fetal Respiration Scripture>, and then hugged the stone with both hands.
"Sixteen!"
The old man shouted, "It's accurate this time. Sure enough, I didn't take enough powder. Zhang Lingshan. I remember that after I went to Central Province, I also took two packets."
"Okay."
Zhang Lingshan responded loudly.
Although I don't know if it's because I didn't take enough powdered medicine, but when I come to Central Province for review in the future, I will have to recite <Jade Emperor Fetal Respiration Scripture> just to be on the safe side.
"Come on, Zhang Lingshan, your physique looks good to others, let me Old Wang touch you and give you some pointers. By the way, my name is Wang Chong, you can just call me Old Wang."
As the old man spoke, he started to take action. He was very fast and slapped Zhang Lingshan hundreds of times with his palm skills like flying.
Zhang Lingshan felt a chill in his heart.
This old man is so fast.
He was caught off guard and had no time to stop him.
"Not bad, not bad. The skin, muscles, fascia, and bones are all first-class and contain great energy."
The more Wang Chong looked at Zhang Lingshan, the more delighted he became. He pulled Cang Changzhen and couldn't help but sigh, "Your great-nephew Cang You'er's spiritual talent is extraordinary, and this Zhang Lingshan's physical talent is extraordinary. If the two of them work together, at least one of them can pass the selection. Okay, okay!"
He couldn't help but be excited.
Because he made a mistake back then, he was sent here for testing.
It is almost impossible to go back.
But if Zhang Lingshan or Cang You'er passes the selection, he Wang Chong will also be honored. He can use his luck to get amnesty and return to Jade Province.
