Games with fairies.

Chapter 69 What to do if the favor is too big

In the surging fog, in the dead city where no visitor had arrived for who knows how many years, Zhuli opened her eyes.

A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"There's something going on in the city?"

In this dead city, apart from the tens of thousands of resentful ghosts that were suppressed, there are only the remaining souls wandering in the city that are confused and have lost their intelligence.

But at this time, Zhuli sensed some kind of movement in the city.

She stood up in the fog and headed straight towards the direction where the noise came from.

But in the mist, a burly ghost figure fell heavily.

The corpse of a young boy who should have died was now standing on the long street - he was the one who knocked down the ghost figure.

Zhu Li appeared silently, frowned and asked: "Who are you, Your Excellency? Dare you to trespass into this place of dragon pond and tiger's den?"

If what the other person says is false, she can expel him at any time.

However, the direction was unknown in the fog, but the opponent's Yuanling was able to pass through the fog and reach this city...

Zhuli felt a sense of vigilance in her heart.

This time, Zhuli was stunned and unconfident by the question.

Faced with her sudden appearance, the mysterious visitor was not surprised and seemed to have expected her appearance.

Zhuli made two preparations.

He looked at Zhu Li calmly and calmly, and said, "Dragon God Fairy, the resentful ghosts in this city are about to break free of their seals and start rioting out of control, but you don't know anything about it?"

Therefore, Zhuli believed for the time being that she would witness this person's behavior with her eyes to see whether what he said was true or false.

Why did the person in front of me predict it before I even noticed it?
  Zhuli was shocked and doubtful, and did not take action immediately.

What the mysterious man said next made Zhuli even more uneasy.

"Okay! I believe you for now."

Although the other party is a person with great magical powers, after all, he is just reviving a dead body and cannot perform any powerful magic at all.

"...The resentful ghosts in the city are going to lose control and riot?"

In this fog, as long as you are willing, you can easily expel his Yuanling.

The corpse of the young man in front of him was obviously a person with great supernatural powers who had resurrected his body and was possessed by an elemental spirit.

It was obvious that he was an outsider, but at this moment he came to question Zhuli.

After hesitating for a while, Zhuli chose to believe him for the time being.

"But I want to follow you and witness everything you do..."

It was so sensational, but the other party spoke extremely seriously, and what he said was in line with common sense.

If the resentful ghosts in the city really get out of control and riot, then she, who is unprepared and will bear the brunt of the brunt, will indeed have a high chance of being destroyed...

He said that the resentful ghosts in the city were about to get out of control and would swarm into the world, causing devastation to all living beings. Even she would perish in the disaster of the resentful ghosts' riot.

...However, what the mysterious man did next surprised Zhuli.

I don't know what means the other party used, but they were able to knock down the huge residual souls stranded in the city and refine them into mysterious orbs with pure aura.

These powerful remaining souls are not as resentful as the resentful ghosts underground. As long as you don't actively provoke them, they will stay where they are and cause almost no harm.

But these remnant souls were all demi-gods during their lifetimes, and they also had considerable fighting power after death.

Even Zhuli would find it difficult to face some of these powerful people.

But the mysterious man in front of him kept knocking down these remnant souls and refining them into some kind of orb with pure aura.

"...This is the Resentful Soul Orb," the mysterious person said: "The Resentful Soul Orb can appease and purify the resentful ghosts in the city. After the orbs are collected, the resentful ghosts in the city can be suppressed and purified, so that they can regain their sanity and no longer cause trouble in the world. .”

The mysterious man's plan was perfect, but what confused Zhuli was the other party's magical ability to refine the remnant souls of demigods into orbs... This method was really strange and inexplicable, and he had never heard of it before.

However, Zhuli calmed down when she thought that this person could reach this city through the fog and resentful spirits.

Compared with Yuan Ling's behavior of passing through the fog, the method of refining the remnant soul of a demigod into a resentful soul orb seems much more ordinary. Zhuli calmed down. She followed the mysterious man and helped him refine the remaining demigod souls in the city.

She looked calm and gradually accepted the mysterious man's extraordinaryness.

until……

"Zifeiyu, know the joy of fish?"

There was a hint of surprise in Zhuli's eyes.

She had never heard this wise remark before.

But the mysterious man smiled casually and said, "This is a conversation between two philosophers, Zhuangzi and Huizi."

"Zhuangzi and Huizi were swimming above Haoliang. Zhuangzi said: "The minnows travel calmly, which is the joy of fishes."

"Huizi said: "You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"

……

The mysterious man smiled and told the story of the two philosophers.

Zhuli had never heard the names of these two philosophers, but an unknown number of years had passed in the world outside the fog, so it was not surprising that powerful philosophers appeared.

Zhu Li thought that this was a new philosopher in the world. After pondering for a while, she burst into laughter.

"...the two philosophers, one is otherworldly and unconventional, the other is truth-seeking, pragmatic, and cunning, which is really interesting."

As if aware of her interest in such topics, the mysterious man with mysterious origins smiled and continued the topic.

While knocking down and refining the remnant souls of demigods in the city, he smiled and chatted with Zhuli about the wonderful sayings of Zhuangzi, Huizi, Laozi, Confucius and other philosophers.

Every word and story he said was thought-provoking and contained philosophy.

Some words even contain great principles.

Ordinary people may not be able to detect that kind of charm, but after Zhuli thought for a moment, his eyes were slightly startled.

"The immortality of the Grain God is called the mysterious female..."

"Zhuang Zhou Mengdie..."

"Heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me..."

"The best thing is like water. Water is good for all things without any struggle..."

……

These topics are numerous and confusing, including philosophical principles, ways to be a gentleman, and even the principles of spiritual practice.

The mysterious man only talked briefly about every topic and did not discuss it in depth with her.

But even so, Zhuli gained a lot.

For her, although practicing secret arts or immortal arts is good, this kind of great truth is equally precious.

It stands to reason that the two of them have never met each other and have no friendship at all, but when they met for the first time, the other party imparted such precious knowledge to each other...

Zhuli sighed in her heart, feeling the heavy favor.

She had the intention to stop it, but after thinking about it, she still chose to accept the kindness silently.

This mysterious and powerful person with Yuanling left his body and went straight into the depths of the fog, just to suppress the resentful ghosts in the city. He must be an expert in the immortal way.

Since I have accepted this favor, I should just keep it silently in mind.

Wait until there is an opportunity in the future to repay.

——This is what Zhuli planned.

But when the conversation between the two suddenly came to Zhuli's condition, and when the mysterious visitor learned about her current situation of being trapped in the city, the mysterious man actually smiled and pointed out a way out for her.

"I know where the Bingxiu Tiger Talisman is, it's in this city."

"As long as we get the Soldier Tiger Talisman and make those tens of thousands of resentful ghosts obey your orders, you will have a chance to leave this city."
