Chapter seven hundred and seventeenth Heaven Official's decree
Not only Wu Zhongyuan was nervous, but Wang Xinran was also nervous. The two turned their heads to look back almost at the same time, but found that behind them was a stone wall with weeds, and there were traces of wormholes.
The disappearance of the wormhole shows that this two-way wormhole does need to carry something special to travel back and forth, which is what the two of them call the ticket, but it is obvious that the two of them do not have the ticket, and this retreat route is broken.
"If it weren't for modern times, there would be no Western-copied teleportation array, and we would be trapped here." Wang Xinran said with a tremolo. She had a good psychological quality and rarely was so nervous.
Wu Zhongyuan calmed down and comforted him, "It's okay, don't be nervous. If it weren't for modern times, the little wizard Wu should still be alive."
"But your previous return disrupted the original arrangements of the bear clan, and he may not be still there." Wang Xinran said.
Although Wu Zhongyuan comforted Wang Xinran, he was not sure, but after a breeze blew, he finally felt at ease. A white thing was blown by the wind and hung on the branch not far away. It was a shabby plastic bag.
Wu Zhongyuan flashed over, took off the plastic bag, took it back and handed it to Wang Xinran.
Seeing the plastic bag, Wang Xinran felt relieved and took a long breath. "It seems that although this wormhole leads to modern times, the location where it appears is not fixed."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded and looked around, "There are elm and locust trees here, which should be in the north."
"Look at whether the two spirit insects that disappeared are here." Wang Xinran urged.
Hearing Wang Xinran's words, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly took out the armor ball from his waist bag, stretched it out with spiritual energy, and released the spirit insects inside.
This spirit insect is the mother of spirit insects. Its body is larger than the two released by Qi'er before. After the armor ball was opened, the spirit insect stretched its wings and flew out from inside, flew around Wu Zhongyuan for a circle and then flew south.
The spirit insect flies in a straight line, and it is obvious that it has a clear destination.
Seeing this, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The mother of the spirit insect was looking for the disappeared spirit insect. The disappearing spirit insect was in this time and space, which means that Jiang Nan was also in this time and space.
Fearing that he would lose his heart, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly sent out his spiritual energy to take Wang Xinran to follow the spirit insect.
"Why is it keeping screaming?" Wang Xinran asked.
"I don't know." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said. The spirit insect kept making a low chirping sound when it flew. The sound did not come from the friction of its wings, but from its mouth. The screams were full of eagerness and heavy sadness.
The spirit insects fly faster than ordinary beetles, similar to swallows. Wu Zhongyuan asked Wang Xinran to take over, so it was not difficult to follow.
After climbing over a towering mountain, lights appeared in the distance. When Wu Zhongyuan saw the lights, he felt relieved. Yes, it was really modern.
Not long after, the spirit insect left the mountain area and entered the fields.
After entering the field, the spirit insects slowed down, their bodies swayed, and their screams became more and more sad.
"What's going on?" Wang Xinran also discovered something was wrong with the spirit insect.
Wu Zhongyuan did not respond, and the spirit insects kept flying at low altitude, and this altitude could easily hit the wires in front.
When the wires in front were still hundreds of meters away, the spirit insects swayed more violently, and eventually could not maintain their balance and fell to the ground with a thump.
Seeing the spirit insect falling, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly restrained his energy and fell to the ground, observing and looking at it. At this time, the spirit insect was still chirping, but the sound was already very small. After landing, he tried it again, but after trying it a few times, he couldn't. The situation was very similar to the cicadas in autumn.
"Its situation is not optimistic, it seems to be dying." Wang Xinran was worried.
"It shouldn't be like this. Chi Lian Huarong said that it can survive for half a month." Wu Zhongyuan was speaking while using the Aryan beast control technique to sense the emotions of the spirit insects. The spirit insect seemed extremely impatient at this time, with sadness in the pain.
"I understand," Wang Xinran suddenly raised his tone, "it can't withstand the modern air."
After hearing Wang Xinran's words, Wu Zhongyuan realized that the oxygen content in modern atmosphere is much lower than that in ancient times, and there are various air pollution. People from ancient times will experience severe discomfort when they appear directly in modern times. Wu Zhui is the best proof, and spiritual insects are the same as humans. As long as they are living creatures, they need to breathe oxygen.
After reacting, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly took back the spiritual insect's armor ball and extended the spiritual energy to wrap the armor ball. The spiritual energy was not oxygen, but a benign breath that could replace oxygen.
But unfortunately, he failed to save the spirit insect. After a low and tragic cry, the spirit insect died.
Although he possessed too much spiritual cultivation, he still couldn't come back to life. After several attempts, Wu Zhongyuan was completely discouraged, put away the armor ball, closed his eyes and sighed.
Wang Xinran also knows the seriousness of the problem. It can be confirmed that Jiang Nan is in modern times. The death of spirit insects will increase the difficulty of finding Jiang Nan, but this problem can be overcome. The biggest problem at present is Jiang Nan's safety. Jiang Nan was also a person from ancient times. It has been three days since he disappeared. Staying in modern times for three days will not cause Jiang Nan to die, but it will definitely not be able to stay for a long time.
"Let's go, first determine our location, and then contact the headquarters as soon as possible." Wang Xinran said.
Wu Zhongyuan was about to answer the conversation when he suddenly found that several abnormal auras were approaching quickly in the distance, not from southeast, northwest, but from the sky.
I felt something in my heart. I looked up and saw a white cloud in the sky. Those abnormal auras came from the white clouds.
The white cloud quickly approached from the sky. As the distance approached, Wu Zhongyuan's perception of the abnormal aura in the clouds became clearer. There were five abnormal auras, one Tailing, two Yuxu, and two upper empty.
These five auras are righteous and kind, not like the side and left paths.
A moment later, white clouds floated over and hovered a hundred feet above the sky. A middle-aged man in ancient court robes appeared. He must be around fifty years old, dressed as an official, holding a yellow silk cloth in his left hand.
At the same time as this person appeared, four young men also appeared behind the person. The four men dressed as soap officials, with their heads raised and their chests raised, and their long swords hung on their waists. They should be the followers of the middle-aged man.
Just as Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran were puzzled, the middle-aged man took the lead in speaking out, "I dare to ask Xiao Zhenren, what sect do you belong to, where is your ancestral home, what is your surname and whose name you are? Why can't you find the Heavenly Court's family? "
Although Wu Zhongyuan had never seen a god, he heard from his master that the legend of gods was said. According to legend, Taoist priests had achieved success in practicing Qi and reached the realm of immortals. The Heavenly Court would feel it and sent people to come down to earth to enfeoff and lead them to the Heavenly Court. This middle-aged man who looked like an official was probably the Heavenly Court's guide.
"Ask a question, are you the heavenly official in the Heavenly Court?" Wu Zhongyuan asked back.
"That's right," the middle-aged Tianguan nodded, "I am Zhou Zhi, a real person. He is young and promising, and has achieved success in practicing Qi. The Supreme Court specially sent his official to come to take him in. However, the origin and ancestral origin of the real person are hard to find. How can this imperial edict be proclaimed?"
"My name is Wu Zhongyuan." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Oh." The middle-aged heavenly official nodded, then spread yellow silk and read out the imperial decree of heaven. "The Jade Emperor has an order. The Taoist of the lower realm, Zhong Yuanzi, is at peace with heaven and enlightens the truth, helps the world and does good deeds, and has no loss of virtue. Now his merits are complete. The Heavenly Court issued an edict to grant the title of the Left Minister of Fenglei Court and is ranked as a celestial immortal."
The middle-aged Heavenly Official read out the imperial edict issued by the Heavenly Court. This imperial edict should be a common template. To put it bluntly, most people who have achieved success in practicing Taoism have this set of sayings.
"Congratulations to the real person, congratulations to the real person," said the heavenly official Zhou Zhi, smiling, "Please accept the imperial edict and return to the heavenly court with me."
The issue of the Tianguan’s edict was completely unexpected by Wu Zhongyuan. Because the incident happened suddenly, he was a little surprised. Naturally, he would not receive the edict, but he could not think of how to refuse to be safe and proper.
At this moment, another auspicious cloud appeared in the sky. It arrived quickly from the east sky. After a moment, it reached the sky above the two of them. This time, an old man with a gray hair and a white hair and an ancient official uniform.
The old official came hurriedly and appeared beside Zhou Zhi, whispering to the front.
After hearing the words of God, Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded and took a breath of cold air.
"If you don't have to be careful, how can you rashly come down to the realm to announce the edict? If the way of heaven is destroyed and the burden is messed up?" The old official complained in a low voice, "I'm not going to apologize quickly, I'll go earlier."
In just a moment, Zhou Zhi was already sweating profusely. He raised his sleeves and wiped it off, bent down, "The subordinates were negligent in discerning and almost got confused about etiquette and law. I dare to ask the emperor to be tolerant and take care of him. We will go now, so you can go and be calm."
After Zhou Zhiyan finished speaking, he hurriedly left with his followers. The old official bent over and bowed to Wu Zhongyuan and hurriedly disappeared.
After a while, all the two auspicious clouds disappeared, leaving only Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran looking at each other with a confused look on their faces.
"What's going on?" Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan guessed, "I have become Tailing. In modern times, Tailing cultivation is equivalent to a celestial immortal. They may have noticed that a person with a celestial immortal cultivation appeared in the human world, so they came to pass the order according to the convention."
"I know this," Wang Xinran said, "What I don't understand is what they mean when they left?"
"They probably discovered that I do not belong to this time and space." Wu Zhongyuan said it was not sure.
Wang Xinran was not satisfied with Wu Zhongyuan's explanation, but she also knew that Wu Zhongyuan was not focused on this, and the most urgent task was to find Jiang Nan as soon as possible.
It was early in the summer and autumn season, and it was almost dawn. Wu Zhongyuan carried Wang Xinran to the village in front.
This is the second time Wu Zhongyuan has returned to modern times. The last time he was forcibly sent back, but he was only the soul, which made him very embarrassed. He took the initiative to return, was fully prepared, and had extremely high cultivation, but he was not satisfied with returning home in glory, because he came back this time to find someone, not to visit relatives.
Because it was too early, there were no shops in the villages and towns. Wu Zhongyuan took Wang Xinran directly to the county town. The two of them are now located in the east and south of Shandong.
When he arrived at the county town, there were more people. Wu Zhongyuan could hide himself, but he could not help Wang Xinran to hide. He had to change his modern clothes and walk into the city with Wang Xinran.
Now the spirit insect is dead and cannot rely on the spirit insect to find Jiang Nan, so I can only rely on the 18th branch. After all, Jiang Nan has joined the golden eagle to come to modern times, with a larger goal, so it is relatively easier to find.
Wang Xinran found a restaurant that was open for 24 hours, borrowed the phone and contacted the No.18 Branch Office, and ordered a meal to eat. Compared with modern and exquisite food, ancient food seemed very crude and had few condiments. In comparison, modern food was more delicious.
