This is the first time since I left Langshan that I heard someone address me as an expert.
To be called a master, it would be false to say that you have no vanity at all.
But there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the alchemy skills on Langshan Mountain have been passed down from ancient times. The Tomb Clan has danced with monsters for generations. Whether it is to treat diseases and injuries, or to deal with monsters, the techniques passed down will inevitably
It has miraculous effects, otherwise it would not be possible for the Tomb Clan to survive.
Apart from anything else, Long Wenmu believed that if the Tomb Clan's technology in refining medicine could be used, it would eclipse those who are called "famous doctors".
Those skills that have been honed in constant battles with monsters are indeed a bit amazing when placed elsewhere. It is reasonable for Qian Lingxue to mistake him for an "expert".
"But there are specialties in the arts, and everyone is good at them." Long Wenmu said solemnly.
Qian Lingxue looked at him carefully. This man didn't look very old, but he spoke and acted with a stability that was inconsistent with his age.
A person's temperament actually has little to do with age, but only with the things he has experienced and the path he has traveled.
He was able to kill the great demon master and had such outstanding medicine refining skills. From Qian Lingxue's perspective, it was as if his body was always covered with a thin veil that made it difficult to see clearly.
After a pause, he spoke again: "I'm very curious about where Mr. Long is from."
"A remote town, not worth mentioning." Long Wenmu replied with a smile.
Where he came from, he had no intention of telling others.
In fact, we are not very familiar with Qian Lingxue, it's just to the extent that we help each other.
Qian Lingxue raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her gaze seemed a bit sharp.
Long Wenmu felt a little uneasy. In fact, he couldn't explain why he felt this way, but he just didn't want to face Qian Lingxue's aggressive gaze.
This woman was different from other women. She had a cool appearance, but was extremely thoughtful. Long Wenmu had experienced Qian Lingxue's keen observation skills.
The fact that Qian Lingxue said something about Long Wenmu's good use of weapons was evident.
"You...are from Langshan, right?"
Qian Lingxue's words struck Long Wenmu's mind like five thunderbolts.
Be it Long Wenmu or Ye Lan, their expressions could not help but change.
She just said...Langshan?
"Langshan? I seem to have heard this name somewhere before. How could the girl think that I come from this place?" Long Wenmu pretended to be thoughtful.
He showed that he was very calm, but his heart was already in chaos.
Ye Lan is the only one who knows that he is from Langshan.
How could Qian Lingxue see it?
"Your demon power makes me feel very strange." Qian Lingxue's next words made Long Wenmu even more frightened, "You are not a demon master, right?"
Long Wenmu's heart was shattered. Qian Lingxue's two words almost revealed all his past.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Qian Lingxue continued: "Actually, when you fought with others before, I felt that your aura was a little strange. Your demon power was different from ordinary demon masters, and I didn't feel the demon in you.
The power of traces. So I was thinking, maybe you are not a demon master."
As an Earth Demon Master, Qian Lingxue's sensitivity is also extraordinary.
But being able to sense it to this extent was somewhat beyond Long Wenmu's expectations.
Long Wenmu forced himself to calm down: "He is not a demon master but has demon power. How can there be such a strange person in the world?"
"Whether there is, I'm not sure." Qian Lingxue said, "I just heard some rumors by chance before. I heard that there was a clan of people on Langshan Mountain who could use demon power even if they were not demon masters."
Long Wenmu was extremely surprised: "Is there such a person? There are so many wonders in this world."
Qian Lingxue stared into his eyes from beginning to end: "I also read ancient books for this purpose. According to ancient books, this clan of people is called the 'Tomb Clan'."
She watched the changes in Long Wenmu's demeanor from beginning to end.
"The Tomb Clan? A strange name." Long Wenmu's eyelids twitched.
"You really don't know?" Qian Lingxue asked.
"I don't know, I've never heard of it." Long Wenmu shook his head firmly.
Qian Lingxue looked at him for two full breaths before finally looking away.
Long Wenmu also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Young lady must have heard a lot of strange things, but the so-called strange things are just stories made up by idle folk, there is no need to take them seriously."
"Am I being serious? Let's just treat it like that." Qian Lingxue seemed to have no intention of asking further.
The room fell into silence for a moment.
"Besides, the girl has only woken up temporarily and her condition has not yet stabilized. For the girl's sake, at least it is not appropriate to use demon power in the near future, and the medicine should not be interrupted." Long Wenmu changed the topic.
Qing'er had also shown Qian Lingxue the prescription before when she told her to Qian Lingxue. Qian Lingxue naturally knew that many of the above preparation methods required special techniques.
She and Qing'er were not proficient in medicine, so they could only ask Long Wenmu to do this kind of thing.
"Young Master Long, I would rather keep it in mind, and if there is a chance in the future, I will repay you. I still want to trouble you for the medicine in the future."
"It should, it should."
The beauty begged her, and no man would have refused, so Long Wenmu agreed without hesitation.
After some pleasantries, Long Wenmu took Yelan back to rest, leaving only Qian Lingxue and Qing'er in the room.
After a long moment of silence, Qing'er finally broke the silence with a voice.
"Sir, you said before that this guy is from Langshan?"
Qian Lingxue frowned slightly, as if thinking deeply: "It's just a guess."
"Sir, where is Langshan? And what is the tomb clan you mentioned?" Qing'er asked curiously.
"Langshan Mountain is a mountain range in the southern border of Yunxuan Kingdom. It is a place where monsters and beasts gather. But I don't know what happened three years ago. The entire mountain range was turned into a place of death. The monsters and beasts living there and the people of that clan
, they all died overnight.”
Qing'er said "Ah": "All are dead?"
Qian Lingxue nodded slightly: "You should know about the beast tide three years ago. That beast tide also appeared centered on Langshan Mountain."
"Animal tide? Could it be that something happened in Langshan... Could it be some natural disaster?" Qing'er asked solemnly.
Qian Lingxue paused, seeming to remember something from the past.
"It's not a natural disaster." Her eyes drooped slightly, casting a heavy shadow.
"Isn't it a natural disaster? How could it trigger a beast tide?"
Qian Lingxue did not raise her head, but said as if talking to herself: "Actually...after that beast wave, I also received an order to go to Langshan to investigate in person."
"Sir, have you been to Langshan? How was it there?"
"On Lang Mountain, there is no life left, and the land thousands of miles around has turned into a dead zone." Qian Lingxue said in a low voice, "Because I have seen that scene with my own eyes, I can be sure that it is not a natural disaster. Lang Mountain will become like that.
It looks like that because a powerful being once visited there."
Qing'er was surprised: "A powerful existence causes a beast tide? Could it be a monster? But the monster that can cause a beast tide...could it be an earth monster?"
Qian Lingxue shook her head and said in a very soft voice: "It's not an earth demon. Earth demons don't have that kind of ability yet... Those who once descended on Langshan were probably beings above the earth demons."
Qing'er's expression changed instantly.
Qian Lingxue didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was conveyed.
It's not an earth demon, but a being above the earth demon. Above the earth demon, it can only be...
But how is this possible?
Such a existence... How could such a existence come to Yunxuan Kingdom? Such a existence is obviously in... A hand gently pressed on the top of Qing'er's head, and Qing'er immediately came back to her senses.
Qian Lingxue looked at her and smiled faintly: "What are you thinking about? Although I said that, it is just a speculation after all. After all, no one has seen that thing with their own eyes. Moreover, even if the sky collapses, it will not happen.
It's up to you, girl, to worry about this, when someone else has to worry about these things."
"But my lord..."
"Okay, I know everything you want to say." Qian Lingxue turned to look out the window and ran her hands through her slender temples. "In fact, the royal family has known about these things for a long time. What happened on Langshan Mountain back then has always been kept secret.
What I said to you today must not be mentioned to outsiders."
Qing'er nodded weakly and answered "yes".
"Sir, what should we do with that guy named Long Wenmu? He still needs to prepare the medicine. Is it possible that we have to take him back with us this time?"
Qian Lingxue thought about it, looking at the mottled tree shadows dancing on the window edge with some trance: "Yes, what should he do? Am I really worrying too much today... If he is really what I want
If that is the case, doesn’t that mean he is a person who survived a catastrophic disaster?”
"Sir, are you still thinking about that? How could he be from Langshan Mountain? If that kind of existence really came to Langshan Mountain, how could there be anyone alive on Langshan Mountain? Even if there are survivors, they are definitely not his kind of people.
"Qing'er said angrily.
"Well, that's right." Qian Lingxue finally gave up her idea. In fact, thinking about it carefully, her guess was too naive. "As for him...we didn't come out this time just for that matter."
Are you looking for an outstanding person? Just ask him about his wishes, and if he is willing, take him back with you."
"Sir, why are you always thinking about that kid? We are looking for powerful backup personnel this time. I admit that that guy has some strength and can kill the great demon master. But it is only to this extent. In that big competition,
Time is not even considered as backup, Sir, you have forgotten how important the big competition a few months later is."
Qian Lingxue also sighed after hearing this: "Yes, he is indeed a bit weak. It would be great if he could be stronger... If it were him, he might be able to do something unexpected."
A long sigh floated through the window sill into the distant sky.
…
Long Wenmu took Ye Lan back to the house. The girl had been busy all night. She only slept briefly in the early morning and was already very sleepy.
"Master, do you think that girl named Qian Lingxue already knows your identity?" Yelan asked, sleepy and worried at the same time.
If Long Wenmu's identity is exposed, it will definitely not be a good thing for them.
"I didn't realize it. She just said those words to test me." Long Wenmu said calmly.
Yelan was still doubtful. After Long Wenmu placed her back in the house, he quietly exited the room.
After closing the door, he let out a breath of thick air.
Women are indeed scary. What Qian Lingxue said at that time was not because she already knew his identity, but just to see his reaction.
If he had hesitated even a little bit in answering at that time, he might have been exposed.
Alas, what a good girl, but she is a flower with thorns that we must beware of.
Putting all unnecessary thoughts behind him, Long Wenmu quietly left the inn alone.
The streets were crowded early in the morning, and Long Wenmu mingled with the crowd, and after making a big circle, he came to the place where the battle took place last night.
Last night, the Black Dragon Palace attacked and destroyed an inn. At this moment, many people were gathered around the inn, pointing at the ruins.
Long Wenmu also saw several people in military uniforms in the crowd. These people should be soldiers from Lao Kangcheng.
An old-looking man was crying to a soldier, who was clearly the innkeeper.
The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond. Long Wenmu sighed helplessly and shook his head.
