The pressure from below put Ban Shuqiong under pressure.
It wasn't that he wanted to find out if there were any little secrets between Qin Fan and Zhang Sanfeng, it was just out of pure curiosity.
But looking at Bi Qingyun's slightly embarrassed look as he fled, he could only smile innocently, stand up slowly, and leave slowly.
At this time, only Qin Fan and Zhang Sanfeng were left in the empty conference hall.
"I investigated the erased incident seventeen years ago."
This was the first sentence Zhang Sanfeng said. Qin Fan was six years old that year. If time went back to the past, he probably couldn't imagine that he would live in torture that would be worse than death for a long time in the future.
But at this moment, his expression was very calm. Even without the cover of the Ghost Lord's mask, his mental fluctuations did not have major fluctuations, as if the things mentioned by the other party had nothing to do with him.
And this was not the reaction Zhang Sanfeng wanted to see.
"Very strange."
This was Qin Fan's first sentence. He felt that most of the questions he would ask Zhang Sanfeng would be answered in silence.
So I must ask a question at this moment, of course to avoid the topic of seventeen years ago.
Zhang Sanfeng also asked cooperatively: "What's so strange?"
"According to what you said, you have been promoting the Qianlong List this time. So what are the benefits?"
"Of course it is for more luck. The Taoist Palace with two Taoist disciples will definitely get the best results in this Hidden Dragon Ranking."
"No, I just said that the establishment of the Qianlong List is harmful to the entire world. Compared with the secret attempts to make a fortune during the previous disputes between Taoism and Buddhism, just to compete for more luck at once would be a bit of a waste.
Of course, the more important thing is..."
Qin Fan pointed at the Heavenly Deed in the opponent's hand.
He didn't know whether Zhang Sanfeng fully understood the effect of the Tianqi, but there was one comment in it that made him very concerned.
[Note: Those who enter the Hidden Dragon List will be branded with the mark of heaven. If they do something against heaven, they will die violently. At the same time, if they act in accordance with heaven, they will be blessed by heaven! 】
He didn't know the details of the battle between Taoism and Buddhism every hundred years, but according to his guess, there should be no such thing.
Therefore, the release of the Qianlong List has some more restrictions than the previous Taoist and Buddhist methods of making a fortune, and it also carries a lot of risks.
Perhaps for other forces, this will be a rare opportunity, but for Taoism and Buddhism, which have silently divided their destiny for thousands of years, this change will do more harm than good.
Zhang Sanfeng was silent for a moment and said:
"Sure enough, Your Majesty Guizun knows a lot about it."
This affirmative tone made Qin Fan raise his eyebrows, and he nodded slightly to indicate to the other party to continue.
"For Mr. Guizun, some things can indeed be said more straightforwardly.
The reason why I push forward this matter with all my strength is because the world is about to be in chaos, so the next battle for the Qianlong List will be made public for the first time, and perhaps the last time."
"Because of King Wuwei?"
All the leaders of the major forces are well aware of King Wuwei's ambitions, and many of them secretly hope that the other party will quickly launch the first shot.
"Not just him, but also it."
Zhang Sanfeng pointed to the sky.
Qin Fan didn't understand what the other party meant, but at this time he could only respond with silence.
"Don't you think, Your Majesty Guizun, that it is a bit unreasonable for two outstanding young people, Xiao Xue'er and Feng Shaoxia, to appear in the same era?
A Xiantian warrior has a lifespan of two hundred years, and a Grand Master warrior has a lifespan of five hundred years. However, the two of them passed the hurdle that others would have spent hundreds of years to overcome in less than thirty years.
And the other part of it refers to the part that is extremely talented.”
"Not only them, Taoist Master Ning is also very strong." Qin Fan mentioned softly.
Zhang Sanfeng just said with emotion:
"Yes, there may be a few monster-level geniuses who break the rules secretly, and it is extremely rare for people like this to appear every hundred, no, three hundred years, but now there are so many of them all at once.
So this is a foreshadowing."
Qin Fan seemed to be listening attentively and nodded in agreement from time to time, but there was a feeling of disappointment in his heart.
Because these words of Zhang Sanfeng are also based on some guesses, rather than an answer that is already known.
From the moment the players entered this world as extraterrestrial visitors, Qin Fan knew that a world of great conflict was coming, but this was also the basic understanding of the time travellers, and what he hoped to get more precise answers to.
"You call them monster geniuses, what about me?"
Qin Fan must first raise this slightly dangerous question.
"You are different from them."
Zhang Sanfeng's tone was very certain.
This made Qin Fan frown slightly. He felt that Zhang Sanfeng knew some of the situation, but he didn't know too much. It was probably half a bottle of water.
"There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
When the prophecy becomes reality, the coming earth-shaking situation is a great blessing for a few people, but it is a misfortune for more people.”
Zhang Sanfeng's sigh seemed to have relieved him of years of pressure in one fell swoop, and at the same time he seemed to be longing for the response and resonance of another person who had uncovered the mystery.
"That's lucky enough for you."
Qin Fan's light words made Zhang Sanfeng smile bitterly, but he stopped there, but this was not what Qin Fan wanted to see.
"Do you know the fate spoken by the aliens?"
Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment and said:
"You mean Zhang Sanfeng's fate?"
Not long ago, in the Sword Forging Hall, he personally said in front of many Sword Forging Hall disciples that he would change his name to Zhang Sanfeng, the harvest of the harvest. Naturally, this news was also known by all the major forces, including Qin Fan in front of him.
Qin Fan nodded:
"Interesting fate, isn't it?"
"Sure enough, Your Majesty Guizun is the person who knows the most about visitors from outside the world, but it's a pity that Zhang Sanfeng is not Zhang Sanfeng. He doesn't have seven disciples, nor does he have an unforgettable secret love."
Zhang Sanfeng said this with some sadness.
"But now Zhang Sanfeng is called Zhang Sanfeng, which means that the two have something in common. Otherwise, why would you change the name?" Qin Fan said.
Zhang Sanfeng chuckled lightly and said without any secret:
"Yes, there are similarities, because our pursuit of truth is equally firm, but comparatively speaking, I am luckier than him. He cannot forcibly break the limitations of the world, but I can wait until the opportunity comes."
Lucky? Qin Fan shook his head. You may not know that Lao Zhang is a frequent visitor to various chat groups, Wanjie Tower, and the mixed martial arts world. In his strongest state, he is simply explosive.
As a fatalistic body...fateful...fateful...by the way, why do fatalistic beings appear?
At this moment, Qin Fan looked at Zhang Sanfeng with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes, but he quickly hid it well.
But this same topic has also reached a dead end.
The final verification result was just as Qin Fan had guessed. Zhang Sanfeng in front of him knew some things, but he would not disclose them intentionally, or he felt that he knew everything and there was no need to mention them.
"Let's get down to business."
Qin Fan's voice was calm, but only he knew the helplessness in it.
He needed to make some of Zhang Sanfeng's perceptions of him consistent with his conjectures, so he could not expose himself as a brat who based everything on speculation and could not verify anything.
And he still had to squeeze out some valuable information bit by bit from Zhang Sanfeng, an old Jianghu, like squeezing out toothpaste.
Zhang Sanfeng also nodded slightly after hearing this. He had indirectly confirmed Qin Fan's situation, so he said bluntly:
"I hope that when the age of great conflict officially comes, I can form a verbal alliance with Mr. Ghost Lord."
Qin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Is one side of this alliance the Dao Domain?"
"No, it's just based on myself. Although I am a member of the Taoist Palace, I cannot represent the Tao Domain.
With the birth of Daozi and the palace owner gradually retreating, the current Daoist Palace is decided by a few elders."
Qin Fan heard what the other party meant.
"Daozhang Zhang doesn't have enough say in the Taoist Palace?"
"Everyone has their own ideas. No elder can decide the future of the Dao realm, so naturally there is no right to speak.
Besides, this is also a test for us.”
After Zhang Sanfeng mentioned it, he didn't want to discuss this topic in depth.
"That's it." Qin Fan touched his chin, and at the same time a light flashed in his eyes hidden under the mask, "If it were just Taoist Zhang, I'm afraid..."
"Although I can't completely determine the future of Dao Domain, I can influence it in some directions." Zhang Sanfeng knew that he had to raise his bet at this moment.
He vaguely guessed Qin Fan's identity, so he was not dissatisfied at all with the implicit meaning in the other person's words that he was not qualified.
"This kind of verbal covenant has no restrictions, and it also means that everything is maintained by mutual trust, and no one in this world will unreservedly give this kind of emotion to someone who has only met a few times."
Except for Mo Kaixin, Qin Fan silently added in his heart.
Zhang Sanfeng also knew this, but he felt that it would be even more unreliable to bet on everything from the very beginning.
But Qin Fan had a suggestion at this time.
"Perhaps this Hidden Dragon List can be the first step for us to trust each other. Does Zhang Daozhang know about an oath of equivalent exchange mastered by the magicians of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce?"
Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment and nodded:
"Your Majesty Guizun, what you mean is that we will form an offensive and defensive alliance this time on Qianlong List and build trust with an oath?"
"Yes, there are too many variables in a world where there is a direct bet on a great battle, and the competition for the Hidden Dragon Ranking is an excellent opportunity for verification.
Besides, you have Xue Wuxia and we have Feng Mo, so both sides won't suffer if we join forces.
Of course, if you want to include Ning Xiaoyao, we can add another candidate who is not inferior to him."
Then Qin Fan raised his eyebrows, and his powerful mental power directly covered the entire ghost market.
"Daozhang Zhang, would you like to go to the top floor with me?"
"oh?"
"It can be more convenient to observe the entire ghost market there, and it can also prove one thing to Daozhang Zhang. This preliminary alliance will bring more benefits than disadvantages to Daozhang Zhang."
Zhang Sanfeng nodded after being silent for a while, and then the two of them headed to the thirty-sixth floor of the Ming Tower.
At the same time, a young man wearing a Tianshou mask and humming a tune was standing excitedly on a bamboo raft, looking at the dark and strange scenery around him.
...
Wangyou Ghost Market, the street where the Fugitive Pawn Shop is located.
Different from the fiery red lanterns hanging on other streets, the lanterns here all emit cyan light. In this dark environment, they are like bunches of will-o'-the-wisps.
Ning Xiaoyao watched Feng Mo warily, because after the other party led them into this street, there were far fewer ghost soldiers passing by, and even as they went deeper, the number of pedestrians became even rarer.
"This is a residential area, and the owner is planning to rent it out, so it seems a bit deserted."
Feng Mo gave a brief introduction, and at the same time there was a coldness in his tone that would repel people thousands of miles away.
On the side, Xue Wuxia remained silent, and coupled with the special effects of falling snow, the atmosphere was even more bizarre.
But the two of them didn't realize it. One would say a few words from time to time, while the other listened silently.
Only Ning Xiaoyao felt that this atmosphere should be broken, but he gradually discovered that the unique aura formed by the two seemed to be repelling him.
Until the three of them came to a solemn mansion and saw the four characters "Desperate Pawn Shop" written on the plaque, Ning Xiaoyao seemed to have some realization.
When he came to Wangyou Ghost Market, he also conducted a detailed investigation. At least he collected all the information about Wangyou Ghost Market that was circulated in the world.
Among them, the most praised and controversial one is one of the six core buildings, which is the desperate pawnshop personally managed by Ghost Lord Qin Fan.cascoot
"This is a desperate pawn shop. No matter what your needs are, you can get what you want, but you must pay an equal price."
Feng Mo’s introduction is still so concise and to the point.
"Any needs? This is a bit..."
Ning Xiaoyao originally didn't want to argue, but what the other party said was a bit too much. Even Emperor Xuan, who is now known as the best person in the world, dare not say that any demand can be realized.
Feng Mo glanced at Ning Xiaoyao lightly:
"The premise is to pay an equivalent price. If this cannot be met, then no matter how great the demand is, the transaction will not be established."
"That's it." Ning Xiaoyao nodded thoughtfully. This is a kind of implicit restriction, like if you have too big a wish, just tell the other party that he can't afford it.
However, if you think about it carefully, with the human and financial resources that Qin Fan currently has at his disposal, most of them can be realized after excluding those unrealistic fantasies, so this is not just an exaggerated gimmick.
Then he became interested. As an old man, he had many needs.
And just when he was about to speak, the green lights on the street were extinguished one after another, and a suffocating and terrifying murderous aura hit him directly!
The next second, a flash of silver light tore through the darkness, and a cold moon that shouldn't exist appeared in the sky.
In the depths of the moon, a small black spot was growing larger and larger, and he walked through the air lightly wrapped in silver gauze.
As the strange figure walking on the moon appeared, a poetic trumpet sounded clearly in the ears of the three of them.
[The falling stars and frost return to the night in mourning. Thousands of prides are as brilliant as the moonlight. The moon shines in the sky. It turns into a silent song and falls into the world of mortals. Everything looks like suffering, and the lonely rain falls. 】
In an instant, the figure disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was very close to Ning Xiaoyao, and at the same time, a sharp finger struck directly towards his face!
