The empress in the call video is still so gentle, young, and beautiful. The first sentence after the connection is: "Lan'er, long time no see. The empress misses you very much."

Zhang Lan didn't have any feelings for her, so out of politeness, she replied lightly: "Long time no see."

The empress covered her mouth and smiled: "I heard that Lan'er had good grades in school, but it's already a holiday, and Ares and Tennyson are also training on alien planets. It's too lonely for you to be there alone? Why don't you take advantage of it?" Since there is still some time left for school, come back to the palace and be with the queen mother."

Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Thank you, Empress, for your concern, I'm fine here."

"You child," the empress still smiled tenderly, and slowly continued to persuade, "Actually, your old friend of Xianshi is coming to the palace recently. Of course, the empress also has important matters to discuss with you."

"Old man?"

Zhang Lan frowned, could he have an old friend in Xianshi... could it be Ji Haoguang! ?No, it could also be Ah Zheng, or even the original body's mother, friends, etc. If it's the former two, you can handle it, but if it's the latter, it will be troublesome...

The empress did not tell him who the old man was, but the second time she persuaded him to come back, she was a little harsher, and repeatedly emphasized that "there is something important, and it will not delay for a few days."

Zhang Lan replied cautiously: "Reply later."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan quickly sorted out the information given by the empress, and finally believed that the so-called old man should be Ji Haoguang. As for why he came to Gaya suddenly, I don’t know, and the empress wanted to discuss things with him... No clue, but he just happened to be able to investigate back, what happened to the pill.

In addition, another piece of information I got from the empress was that Tennyson was still on an alien planet, without this annoying spirit, it seemed that it would be okay to go back.

Although the aura of the imperial palace is less, it can still be practiced barely. He can take the opportunity to draw some more talismans by the way—the few peach wood boards he bought at Ares in Bellingham last time can just be used.

In this way, Zhang Lan decided to agree to the emperor's request.

But before setting off, Zhang Lan felt that it was necessary for him to report to Ares.

"The queen mother asked you to go back to the palace?" Ares was also a little surprised, "What did she say?"

Zhang Lan repeated the words of the empress.

When Ares heard that Tennyson was not in the palace, he was relieved a little. As for the mother's mother looking for Zhang Lan, it would be fine, mainly because of the old friend of Xianshi. There was not enough ground to prevent them from meeting.

"Go back, don't stay too long, His Highness's inspection is almost over, and then go back to school directly, if you haven't come back, I'll see you!" Ares said fiercely, thinking of something mysteriously , "Earth is worthy of being the mother planet, not to mention the medicinal herbs you are looking for, I also found a lot of things this time..."

Zhang Lan's heart skipped a beat: "What is it?"

"Want to know? I'll tell you when I get back to the military academy."

Ares was so appetizing, obviously telling him to go back early.

Zhang Lan got his approval, and immediately called back the Empress...

-

Two days later, Gaya Palace Satellite.

The spaceship landed very fast. After a slight bump, the hatch opened and the ladder descended. Before leaving the hatch, Zhang Lan heard a well-trained welcome voice from outside: "Welcome the fourth princess back to the palace."

Recalling Ji Haoguang's indifference when he came here for the first time, Zhang Lan secretly thought a little uncomfortable, probably because of the "stable relationship" with Ares now, so these people also respect Aiwu and Wudi he came?

Zhang Lanyuan looked at the familiar palace and slowly got off the spaceship.

But when he took his first breath of air, he suddenly felt something changed——

Since taking the Vermillion Grass, his five senses have become much sharper than when he first came here. At that moment just now, he clearly captured the more obvious and denser creatures than before!

Zhang Lan was surprised, stopped and closed his eyes, and felt more carefully. When he silently tried to perform the absorbing exercise, countless tiny aura factors penetrated into the pores and lingered in his body. Although the aura that finally entered Lost 90.00% nine, but still completed a cycle with very, very slow efficiency - this shows that at this time, the aura density of the palace satellite has reached the minimum requirement for practice!

"Fourth princess?"

Seeing that he was suddenly motionless, the people below asked.

Zhang Lan came back to his senses, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and quickly stepped off the spaceship.After a while, two figures approached not far away.

Empress and... Priest Gaya?

"Lan'er!" When the empress approached, she seemed unable to hide her excitement. She hugged him happily, held his hand and said happily, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon. When they communicated, the empress still didn't believe it." Woolen cloth."

Zhang Lan hardly had such close contact with any woman, so she couldn't help but back away. The empress was a thoughtful woman, and when she saw this, she kept rubbing his hand intimately, still grinning from ear to ear.

Zhang Lan felt a little uneasy in her heart, feeling that she was too enthusiastic, so she looked at her strangely, and found that she looked younger than before. Her jade-white hands were incredibly smooth and tender, and her whole face was radiant like She is a twenty-eight girl, and her laughter is really as sweet as a girl's silver bell.However, upon sniffing it carefully, Zhang Lan could smell the aura that definitely does not belong to young people on her body. According to Ares's age, she is at least fifty or sixty now, and she immediately admired the maintenance technology of future technology.

The priest next to him coughed, interrupting the one-sided intimacy of the empress, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness Aisha, please allow me to take him to see someone first."

Aisha?

Zhang Lan was stunned when he heard the name, and when he saw the empress withdrew his hand, he smiled at the priest, "Sorry, my lord priest, I almost forgot that you are still busy." After speaking, he said to Zhang Lan, "My lord priest is Bai The one who came here to greet you during his busy schedule, go with him to meet your guests from Xianshi first, and I will have dinner with you later."

Zhang Lan looked at Priest Gaya suspiciously, and the other party stared at him with a pair of narrow eyes with a kind of scrutiny for a moment. In that short moment, Zhang Lan remembered the scene when he boarded the spaceship, and couldn't help holding his breath.The other party looked at it for a while, seemed a little disappointed and confused, and gave Zhang Lan an extremely arrogant look: "Please."

Without waiting for his response after speaking, he walked forward on his own.Seeing the empress' gaze, Zhang Lan followed.

The priest looked very young, and Zhang Lan had a strong sense of pressure from the previous meetings, but this time he seemed a little tired, and the coercion on his body weakened a lot.

The two walked for a while, and Zhang Lan found that this seemed to be the direction of the altar that hosted a large ceremony in the palace, so he stopped and asked, "Who is the priest who wants to show me?"

Priest Gaya had an unhappy look on his brows: "You Priest of Immortal Poetry, Ji Haoguang."

——It really is that old fox Ji Haoguang!

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Priest Gaya reminded him coldly, leading him to the altar.

Zhang Lan saw that there were many people in the altar at this time. They were all wearing uniform dark robes, the same as Ji Haoguang's original attire. They seemed to be priests from different regions and different planets.It's just that these guys who should have been arrogant and arrogant and holy now are all haggard, and they can't do anything.

At this time, a figure in the crowd saw Zhang Lan, his eyes paused, and then he walked over crookedly, first bowed his noble head respectfully to Priest Gaya, and then said with a non-smiling smile: "Prince, haven't seen you for a long time."

The person who came looked to be 60 years old. If he hadn't suddenly felt the blood of the blood curse in his body boil when he approached, Zhang Lan would hardly have recognized that this person was Ji Haoguang.

Priest Gaya said coldly: "I'll give you two minutes to catch up on the past, don't talk too much nonsense." As he spoke, he left in a hurry.

As soon as Ji Haoguang saw his figure disappear, he immediately pulled Zhang Lan to a corner, and followed Zhang Lan's palm with a pair of dry hands to feel for his pulse.Zhang Lan was startled, and wanted to pull back, but Ji Haoguang warned in a low voice, "Don't move."

A gust of icy cold air penetrated into Zhang Lan's body from Ji Haoguang's arm, and the blood of the blood curse, like cats smelling fishy, ​​throbbed in the body one after another, turning into breath and gathering at the place where the two skins touched - at that moment, Zhang Lan It felt like that piece of skin was as cold as ice.

"...This, this, is really weak!" Ji Haoguang stared at him in surprise, "I noticed that the blood curse was weakening before, and it really is!"

Zhang Lan was secretly surprised, he never expected that Yuan Zai Xianshi would know that the blood of the blood curse had been forced out by him.

"You, what did you do?" Ji Haoguang said viciously.

Of course, you can’t tell the truth even if you are killed in this situation. Zhang Lan thought for a while, and said: "I was sent to a duel at school. At that time, I was seriously injured and left a lot of blood. Maybe this is the reason."

"...Do you think I'm an idiot?" Ji Haoguang obviously didn't believe this answer, and took his hand again, trying to find out the reason.

At this time, the aura in Zhang Lan's body was scarce, and Ji Haoguang couldn't detect anything suspicious for a while, and he deliberately avoided his "hunt and arrest", so he could only temporarily accept this explanation, but at the same time threatened: "Don't think that if the blood of the blood curse is reduced, the spell will be weakened. As long as there is even a trace left in your body, I can kill you thousands of miles away!"

Zhang Lan also responded with a cold expression. If he used to be afraid of Ji Haoguang, but when he found that the aura environment of the satellite of the palace became suitable for cultivation, this kind of threat was not painful or itchy to him at all—only a period of time. When enough spiritual power is stored in his body, he will be able to force out all the blood of the blood curse at once!

At the end, Zhang Lan stared at Ji Haoguang's exhausted face that could not be concealed by his bravado, and asked, "Why did you become like this?"

Ji Haoguang touched his face nervously: "What do I look like?"

Zhang Lan's eyes drifted over: "It's almost the same as them."

"God!" Ji Haoguang was shocked.

"These people should be priests, why are you all gathered here?" Zhang Lan asked what he was most puzzled at the moment.

Ji Haoguang struggled out of the blow, and said angrily, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."

Zhang Lan thought for a while, then asked, "How is Ah Zheng?"

"Azheng? That brat? He is my apprentice now," Ji Haoguang thought of something, and said contemptuously, "He made you something strange and insisted on bringing it to me. I have given it to Empress Gaya, you Ask the empress yourself."

"What is it?"

Ji Haoguang recalled it for a while, and said mockingly: "It is said that it is called ancient mung bean cake. Hmph, as the disciple of the first priest of my dignified fairy poetry, I study food all day long, so I am useless."

green bean cake!

Zhang Lan suddenly remembered that he had mentioned how to make this snack to Ah Zheng. At that time, Ah Zheng expressed that he was not interested, but unexpectedly prepared this small gift for him quietly and silently, and his heart immediately warmed up.

"Why didn't Ah Zheng follow?"

Before Ji Haoguang could answer, Priest Gaya came, unceremoniously and coldly interrupting their reminiscence: "Ji Haoguang, go where you should be."

Ji Haoguang made a low-pitched response, and was about to leave when Zhang Lan grabbed his clothes, looked him in the eyes firmly, and said word by word: "Please... just be right with me."

Ji Haoguang sneered and left.

Zhang Lan sighed slightly, thinking of Ah Zhengyuan's silly little face, which inexplicably overlapped with Edgar's face in his mind.After all, he is the one who treats him well, and I still hope that little boy Ah Zheng will not be bullied by the old fox Ji Haoguang.

"Fourth princess." Came the voice of Priest Gaya, "The empress is waiting for you in the front hall."

Zhang Lan withdrew his thoughts, nodded to him, and was about to turn around and walk away when his eyes fell on him, and he suddenly saw two things on his hands, one on the left and one on the right.

When seeing them clearly, Zhang Lan couldn't restrain the surprise on his face, because these two things are so familiar to him!

I saw Priest Gaya's left hand holding on to the sunken gossip mirror engraved with "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Congenital Eight Diagrams, and Heluo Nine Stars"; while his right hand was holding an utensil that only Taoists would use: an antique A water bowl made of brass, on which is drawn a picture of the true shape of the Five Sacred Mountains.

"Fourth princess?" Priest Gaya's voice was cold and without a trace of warmth, "Why, you looked so carefully, do you recognize these two things?"
