The Taoist priest turned his face sideways and looked at Luo Jiutian expressionlessly.
"Were you talking just now?"
A pale smile appeared on the Taoist priest's face, "Yes."
"Just the two of us means..." Luo Jiutian sat up from the hard stone wall.
"That's what you see," the Taoist priest put his hands lazily on his knees. He twisted his wrists feebly as he spoke, "Everyone else is gone."
Luo Jiutian opened his mouth and looked around at the unfamiliar woods around him.
"This is not where we camp!"
"Yes," the Taoist priest seemed to be sighing, "they are all gone."
"What about our tent?"
"The tents and supplies are not with us."
Luo Jiutian stared blankly at the Taoist Master's calm face.
"That is to say..."
"We have neither supplies nor food," the Taoist priest told the truth, "it's just the two of us."
"How could this happen?!" Luo Jiutian jumped up from the ground excitedly, "What's going on? Where are they?"
"I guess we were separated in our sleep," the Taoist priest calmly analyzed. "If the situation is okay, then they should have dispersed in groups like us. In fact, I
I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about Zhang Boyin."
Luo Jiutian walked around anxiously. When he heard the Taoist priest's words, he stopped.
"Zhang Boyin is just a shell now."
"It would be fine if Zhang Boyin was with others," the Taoist priest also stood up, "but I suspect that Zhang Boyin may have been taken away by the fire lotus."
Luo Jiutian turned around and summoned Panlongchi.
He held the bottom of Panlong Pond flat with his left hand, and moved his right hand a few times on the abacus-like depression on the upper right side of it. The pointer in the center of the compass started to rotate. After a while, the pointer pointed directly in front of Luo Jiutian, and the pointer stopped.
The area lights up slightly, then dims.
"His consciousness is still in the pool," Luo Jiutian raised his eyes and looked at the Taoist Master, "and he is safe."
"If the physical body is injured, will the consciousness sealed in Panlong Pond be affected?" the Taoist asked.
"Of course," Luo Jiutian put away Panlongchi, "Panlongchi only extracts consciousness, and will not break the relationship between spirit and flesh... So, at least we know that Zhang Boyin is safe at the moment."
The Taoist priest then asked, "So, is there a way to directly obtain Zhang Boyin's consciousness through his body?"
"Impossible, once the consciousness is sealed in the Panlong Pond, unless the pond is destroyed, outsiders will never be able to obtain the consciousness in the pond," Luo Jiutian vowed, "The Panlong Pond is a unique treasure of our Luo family, outsiders... except
Xiaolan, Xiaolan is a bug... If outsiders want to get the Luo Family Panlong Pond, there is only one way, and that is to kill someone to take the pond."
The Taoist priest's heart trembled, and it could be seen from his expression. He lowered his voice and said, "Jiutian, don't say any more."
Are you afraid that you will die too early?
"Don't worry, Taoist Master," Luo Jiutian saw the Taoist Master's worry, and he laughed heartlessly a few times, "You don't get my Panlong Pond just by killing me, how can it be that simple?
"
"Is this so..." The Taoist Master quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was indeed worried just now, but thinking about it, if the Panlong Pond was really so easy to obtain, wouldn't it mean that every master would have one?
"Different Panlong Ponds all have the same origin. When the pool owner dies, if Panlong Pond cannot die with it, then the first choice of the pond is not to succumb to the murderer, but to merge into other people's Panlong Ponds.
middle……"
Luo Jiutian did not continue because the Taoist priest was glaring at him.
If the owner dies, Panlong Pond will merge into other ponds.
Now, Luo Jiutian is not the only one who is unlucky.
Xiao Lan, an old hapless man who knew nothing but owned another pool, was also included in the assassination list.

Xiaolan felt a chill on her back.
She turned her head suddenly and looked at the deep open space behind her.
When the sky brightened, the rain slowly stopped. The three of them waited in vain for a while. They did not wait for an accident or the return of their companions. After eating a tasteless breakfast, the three of them ate slowly.
I packed my luggage and decided to embark on a new journey.
"I should have brought more food," Qin Yin said as he put the food into the package. "All the heavy things were thrown away to fools. I only left some biscuits and potato chips here. What about you?"
Xiaolan looked through her backpack, "I have bread and ham here."
The two of them looked at Wen Ling's package.
Wen Ling turned over and over, reached out and grabbed something, and happily showed it to the two of them.
"What is this... a protein bar? Did we buy this to eat?" Qin Yin fiddled with the food Wen Ling found.
Xiaolan put her head over and glanced at it lightly, "Ah, Brother Baomu bought this for the Son of Light. He said eating this is good for the color of his coat."
"Why did you ask about the spirit bag?"
Xiaolan shook her head, "Maybe I made a mistake when dividing the food."
Qin Yin turned over the wrapping paper of the protein bar and looked at the ingredient list, "Fish mince, chicken mince... very good, very good, they are all good and can be eaten by visual inspection."
"Ah, do we want to eat this?"
"What's wrong? It's not like only children of light have coat colors."
Xiaolan thought so. She rummaged through her package for a while, and a small black thing jumped into her eyes.
"Heipi! You're still here!" Xiaolan was overjoyed and hugged the little doll Heipi into her arms.
"Of course I'm still here," Heipi jumped out of Xiaolan's arms inexplicably, "What happened?"
"Heipi, don't you know what happened last night?" Xiaolan asked hurriedly.
"What happened?" Heipi stopped jumping, "I just woke up."
really.
Xiaolan told Heipi the story.
Qin Yin and Wen Ling, who couldn't hear Heipi's voice, watched Xiao Lan talking to himself to a doll with amusement, and from time to time they would help add a word or two.
"I said," after listening, Heipi lay back in Xiaolan's pocket without a care, "I said I can't feel the breath of those two guys. It's great. I can finally get rid of that stupid rabbit.
I feel so comfortable with that silly lion."
***
The Son of Light can no longer smell the scent of black leather.
It cried in Baomu's arms for a long time.
"Be good, Xiaoguang, be good," Baomu coaxed, "Heipi is not dead. Heipi is just no longer with us for the time being. Heipi is at Sister Xiaolan's place... Look, isn't Rabbit here?
You can play with the rabbit."
The rabbit sat on the fool's shoulder and glanced at the Son of Light indifferently.
"Be good... By the way, I bought some delicious food for Xiaoguang..." Baomu said, rummaging through his backpack, "...Hmm? Where are my protein bars?"
The fool ignored Bao Mu who was coaxing the child, but held up the telescope and looked out.
