Chapter 1458 Fellow Taoist
Chapter 1458 Fellow Taoist
There were three figures: two human faces and a black horse's head.
Chen Xuan recognized the black horse head at a glance; it was Ma Changlong, whom he had fought before. Ma Changlong was quite strong, much stronger than Ma Qingshan, and was already close to the Great God Emperor.
As for the two faces, one of them was dressed in white, and that was none other than Ma Sanshui, who had just returned.
The other person was dressed in blue, with a handsome appearance and a kind and approachable smile, giving people the feeling of a gentleman.
"Fellow Daoist Wu Lan, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Chen Kunkun of the human race."
"Fellow Daoist Kunkun, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Wu Lan, a friend of Changlong, who is now a powerful expert at the Great God Emperor level."
“Fellow Daoist Wu heard about what happened at the entrance of the Great Compassion Temple today and has great respect for you, Fellow Daoist Kunkun. He has also expressed his desire to befriend you. Therefore, I brought him to see you without your permission. Please forgive me.”
Ma Sanshui spoke with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Wu Lan?"
Chen Xuan stared at him for a moment, looking him up and down. This person had no demonic aura, but also no human aura. He didn't know what race he belonged to.
Of course, it's also possible that the other party concealed their presence, making it impossible for Chen Xuan to sense them.
"Who are you, Fellow Daoist who is never satisfied?"
Chen Xuan asked.
This casual way of greeting is similar to asking "Have you eaten?", it's just a casual question.
"Hehe, I am a free spirit, without any sect or school, and I have no hometown. Wherever I go, that is home."
Wu Lan smiled.
Chen Xuan immediately felt something was strange. "I asked you where you are from, but you said you have no sect, no school, and no hometown."
Isn't this a classic case of beating around the bush?
If you really don't want to answer, just broaden the scope, for example, say you're from the Southern Barbarians, the Central Continent, or the Eastern Wilderness.
It's quite rare that no one will bother to investigate your background, and they're even unwilling to talk about that.
However, Chen Xuan didn't dwell on it too much. If the other party didn't want to talk, then so be it; it wasn't a big deal.
"And where is Fellow Daoist Chen from?" Wu Lan asked.
Ma Sanshui and Ma Changlong immediately looked at Chen Xuan, both of them curious, because they didn't know Chen Xuan's background either.
"Oh, I am from the Eastern Wilderness, from the Eastern Wilderness City."
When you're out in the world, you have to give yourself your identity. Chen Xuan started his old habit again and began talking nonsense.
After all, he couldn't very well claim to be a member of the Chen family, the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, in the Great World of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Tenth Realm, the Three Thousand Continents, a fragment of the desolate continent.
The place where he was born was so remote and inaccessible that it couldn't be more remote.
"People from the Eastern Wilderness?"
Wu Lan's eyes flickered, and Ma Changlong also showed a look of surprise.
Ma Sanshui, on the other hand, appeared perfectly normal.
After all, Chen Xuan had just told him that his friend was the Eastern Emperor.
"The Eastern Wilderness is far from here. I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist Chen from all this way?"
Wu Lan asked with a smile.
"Just like you, I enjoy being a free spirit, wandering around and making friends everywhere," Chen Xuan replied casually.
"In that case, we two do have something in common."
Wu Lan continued to smile.
Standing to the side, Ma Sanshui was somewhat surprised. He noticed that Wu Lan seemed very interested in Chen Xuan, constantly asking him questions.
Instead, he rarely asked Ma Sanshui questions.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I've heard you know the laws of lightning?"
Suddenly, Wu Lan spoke.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Goodness, no wonder this guy talked so much about himself; all those previous words were just setup, this sentence is the key point.
"I do indeed know the laws of lightning. What, Fellow Daoist Wu, are you interested in this?"
Wu Lan nodded and smiled, "I once obtained a treasure, a silver box, but I couldn't open it myself."
"After years of exploration, I have finally discovered a way to open this box: find someone who possesses the power of lightning. Infuse the silver box with the power of lightning, and the box will open by itself."
Upon hearing this, both Chen Xuan and Ma Sanshui were taken aback.
Because they both thought of the silver box they had just opened.
Now, hearing Wu Lan's description, how come it's so similar?
Ma Sanshui immediately glanced at Ma Changlong.
Because of the fact that he had the silver box, only Ma Changlong in the entire Ten Thousand Demon City knew about it!
Even Ma Qingshan, the third strongest member of the Ma clan, was unaware of the silver box.
The reason Ma Changlong was told was because he was his trusted subordinate and absolutely trustworthy!
When Ma Sanshui looked at Ma Changlong, Ma Changlong also looked at him at the same time, looking completely bewildered.
"what happened?"
Ma Sanshui secretly transmitted his voice.
"Ancestor, I don't know either."
Ma Changlong looked completely bewildered, but his acting skills were impeccable.
Ma Sanshui trusted him completely, so he didn't think much of Ma Changlong.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, you have a silver box in your hand? What kind of treasure is it? Where did you get it? Why does it require the Law of Lightning to open?"
Ma Sanshui asked, feigning curiosity.
Wu Lan sighed softly and said, "To be honest, this treasure of mine was something I had when I was still at the God Emperor realm. I was fighting my enemy and was seriously injured and on the verge of death when I accidentally fell into the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects in the Southern Barbarian Lands."
"I believe you, Fellow Daoist Ma, know what kind of place that is. I thought I was going to die for sure."
"In fact, I almost died at that time. In order to survive, I desperately dug a hole in the ground, with countless insects chasing me from behind."
"Later, I actually dug up a barrier. I entered the barrier, and the insects couldn't get in. I saw a skeleton, and in the skeleton's arms, it was holding this silver box."
"Later, I recovered my strength within the barrier, managed to escape from the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, and took this box with me."
"I sought out immortals and visited friends, traveled far and wide, and tried every means to find out the origin of this box, but to no avail."
"Finally, after I became the Great God Emperor, I found a way to open the box. That is to find someone who knows the laws of lightning and inject the power of lightning into it, then the box will open by itself."
"Furthermore, I also know the origin of the box; it was left behind by the Thunder Lord from the mythical era!"
After saying that, Wu Lan directly opened the book in her hand.
A silver box appeared in his palm.
This box is exactly the same as the one in Ma Sanshui's hand!
Seeing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at Ma Sanshui with a strange expression.
Ma Sanshui looked completely bewildered.
