Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Xiao Ningzi, what's wrong with you? You were so frightened when you saw the coffin. You are such a coward." Seeing his frightened look, Xiao Zhan mocked.

Tangning ignored her taunt and asked hesitantly, "Master Zhanxian, do you think it is possible? There is a person buried inside? After the seal of the sarcophagus was opened, he escaped with the white light."

"Xiao Ningzi, is there something wrong with your brain? Is there anyone here?"

Tangning frowned and said nothing. Xiao Zhan's memory should be correct. She could find this place based on her memory, which means that she has a very clear memory of this place. If there is someone buried in the sarcophagus, she should know it.

However, he always felt that this matter was strange.

"Hey! Lord Zhanxian, since the Tianzhuang Sword is buried here, are there other treasures that you haven't remembered yet?"

"Yes? I don't know."

"Since we finally found this place and we are not in a hurry to go back, why not look for it carefully, just in case it is really there?"

"Then go look for it!"

With Xiao Zhan's nod, Tang Ning seemed to have obtained Shang Fang's sword, and she immediately dodged and escaped into the ground.

As he expected, the ground was really intricately intertwined, with tree roots twisting and branching like rivers, extending in all directions.

He searched all the way in the direction of the tree roots. He spent a lot of time looking through almost the entire mountain range, but could not find anything except the soil of the tree roots.

When he returned to the sarcophagus, Xiao Zhan had disappeared, leaving only the Tianzhan Sword lying quietly in the sarcophagus.

Tangning's heart skipped a beat, like a stone sinking to the bottom of the water.

Xiao Zhan regards this Sky-Destroying Sword as a treasure and will definitely not abandon it here for no reason. No matter where she goes, she will definitely carry it with her.

Now that the Heaven-Destroying Sword is left in the sarcophagus, something unexpected must have happened.

"Master Zhanxian, Master Zhanxian." Tangning's consciousness was far away and she couldn't detect Xiao Zhan's figure, so she couldn't help shouting. The spiritual power added to her voice rolled away, causing several echoes in the mountains.

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed inside the sarcophagus, and Xiao Zhan emerged, folding his arms and looking at him arrogantly: "Have you found any other treasures?"

Tang Ning was slightly stunned. Xiao Zhan had clearly emerged from the Immortal Killing Sword. Could it be said that the Immortal Killing Sword also had the function of nourishing the soul?

"No. Master Zhanxian, why did you get into this sword?"

Xiao Zhan said proudly: "Now this is my new home. I just discovered that it is big and comfortable here. It is much more spacious than the place where I lived before."

Tangning asked curiously: "Master Zhanxian, can you let me also observe?"

"No." Xiao Zhan's face darkened, and he said fiercely: "This is my treasure, no one can touch it. I tell you, Xiao Ningzi, don't try to take advantage of it, or I will be rude to you. ”

Tangning turned around and looked at the towering tree in front of her. Suddenly her eyes narrowed and she seemed to have discovered something.

He flashed and came to the main trunk that was tightly wrapped in vines. He peeled off the entangled vines layer by layer, revealing a dark green gourd inside.

This gourd grows on the main trunk, has the same color as the vine, and blends in with it, so I didn't notice it at first.

Tang Ning was surprised that gourds were growing on the trunk of the giant tree.

When he reached out and picked off the gourd, he was ready to take a closer look. Suddenly, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart. He froze in place, not even daring to breathe out. The hairs on his body stood up, as if something terrible was happening in front of him.

After a while, he breathed out heavily, and his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Xiao Ningzi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhan asked after hearing his breathing like a cow.

Tangning turned around, with a look of surprise and fear on her face: "Master Zhanxian, didn't you notice at all just now?"

"What did you notice? Why are you sweating so much? Is there something weird about this gourd?"

Xiao Zhan dodged and was about to snatch the gourd from his hand. Tangning let her take the gourd and said in shock, "I feel like someone is watching us."

Just now, the moment he took off the gourd, the pair of disappearing eyes in the sky seemed to appear again, staring directly at him, scaring him so much that he didn't even dare to breathe.

The feeling was so real, as if the person was standing behind me.

"Xiao Ningzi, your courage is getting weaker and weaker. Why are you always so suspicious? Hey! This gourd is really weird."

"Master Zhanxian, let me take a look." Tang Ning immediately suppressed her surprise and doubts, came to her side, took the gourd, and looked inside, only to find that it was pitch black inside.

The emanating spiritual consciousness was like a mud cow entering water. There was no echo at all, as if it was being swallowed up. When more and more spiritual consciousness poured into it, he gradually realized something was fishy.

The mouth of the gourd seemed to be blocked by something, and all his consciousness was absorbed on it.

"Xiao Ningzi, what do you mean?" Xiao Zhan immediately became unhappy when he saw him snatching away the gourd again.

"Master Zhanxian, what's wrong?"

"Let me ask you, do you want to snatch this gourd from me?"

"It's not a robbery, I discovered this originally."

"Whatever you found, this is my place, of course everything is mine."

"But you just said it yourself, you don't know if there is anything else here. This gourd was picked from the tree and was not stored here by you. In other words, it is an ownerless thing. Of course, whoever finds it can It belongs to someone else, you can't just keep your word!" Tangning argued, since he had found out that this gourd was extraordinary, he naturally wouldn't give it up.

Xiao Zhan's mentality is actually similar to that of a child. He wants to take possession of good things when he sees them. Although he is domineering and somewhat unreasonable, he values ​​integrity very much and will never go back on what he has said, or even disdain to go back on it.

Tangning took advantage of her weakness and seized on her words to gain the rights to the gourd for herself.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Zhan didn't know how to refute. Soon, she turned her eyes and argued: "I only said I didn't know, and I didn't say it wasn't mine. I just couldn't remember it at the moment. Yes, I will remember it one day. Don’t forget, I brought you here, and of course everything here belongs to me.”

Tang Ning had no choice but to understand it rationally and emotionally: "Master Zhanxian, you have already obtained your precious Tianzhuang Sword. I discovered this gourd. Please give it to me!"

"No, everything here belongs to me." Xiao Zhan said, grabbing the gourd again.

Tangning neither dared to make a move with her nor could he fall out with her, so she could only argue with her and reason with her: "We can come here because of my hard work and no credit. You got the Heaven-Destroying Sword, and so do I." It’s only fair that I should get something. Besides, I found and picked this gourd, so it should be mine. You can’t be so unreasonable.”

"I'm not being unreasonable. It's just you who are greedy and want to take it for yourself. This is my thing."

"Then you should take pity on me and reward me with it. My hard work of following you will not be in vain."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhan had no reaction. Tangning was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he could say such words. There seemed to be infinite sadness and pain in his words. Unknowingly, he defined himself as a beggar.

He smiled bitterly in his heart. As expected, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. If he were in front of others, he would definitely not be able to say such words. Just because he had been with Xiao Zhan for a long time, and the two of them were talking, and they actually turned him into himself. He stepped into the role of a child, as if asking an adult for toffee.

"This gourd won't work, so be it! You go look for it again, and if you find something else, I will reward you with that thing." Xiao Zhan said with a generous look, waving his hand.

Tangning almost vomited blood when she heard what she said. If she didn't feel that she couldn't beat her, she would have wanted to fight with her.

The two of them were just in a stalemate, Xiao Zhan ignored him and just played with the gourd.

After all, Tang Ning didn't have the temperament of a child like her. After feeling sullen for a while, she walked to the giant tree and cleared out the entangled tentacles on it. In the end, she didn't find anything else.

Obviously, this giant tree only bears one gourd, which makes it even more precious.

Tangning had no choice but to return to her side: "Master Zhanxian, there is nothing else, just this gourd."

"Oh!" Xiao Zhan held the gourd with a smile and was still studying it carefully.

"How about you make a price? Sell me this gourd." Tang Ning really had no choice.

"I don't need money."

"For so many years, all the expenses for your elixirs and spirit wines have been borne by me, as well as the food and drink expenses in the future. It is enough to exchange for this gourd."

"That's what you should have given me, and I didn't ask for more." Xiao Zhan still looked heartless: "Don't forget, I have saved you several times and taught you a lesson from many bad people. Woolen cloth!"

"Then you can't let me follow you for nothing. If you do this, if you think of something next time, I won't help you find a place."

"If you don't want to look for it, then I will find it. I will find a way when the time comes." Xiao Zhan refused to take in food or salt, and his attitude of refusing to take soft and hard measures made Tangning helpless. He felt depressed and anxious, and lost his temper. He sat down in a muffled voice. Under the giant tree, Ben was carrying Xiao Zhan without saying a word.
