Star God stick princess

Tennyson leaned against the door with a lazy expression on his face.

Because Zhang Lan had to sit cross-legged for a long time, his clothes were all soft and solid-colored. Tennyson had never seen him dressed so casually, and a pair of equally bright golden eyes kept looking him up and down, with playful flashes in his eyes.

Zhang Lan silently withdrew her foot, calmly: "Why are you here?"

Tennyson snorted: "Sister-in-law, you... do not get close to strangers written all over your face, do I hate it so much?"

Zhang Lan was noncommittal.

"The training is over early. The reason why I didn't come back is because the evil energy sealing ceremony was too noisy recently. No, I'll be back after today's end."

"Evil energy?"

"Why, didn't you see that there are so many priests in the palace these days?" Tennyson knew Zhang Lan was interested when he saw doubts flashing in his eyes, and said deliberately, "Want to know? Come with me to the front hall."

Zhang Lan didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but he was really skeptical about the activities of the priests. Could the aura that disappeared overnight be related to their sealing ceremony?

Thinking of this, he said lightly: "Go."

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw a group of people in Wu Yangyang, all priests with long robes and white hair.Seeing Ji Haoguang in the crowd, Zhang Lan couldn't believe his eyes—he looked even older than a few days ago, his body was bent and wrinkled, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is an old man in his eighties or nineties.

In fact, not only Ji Haoguang, but also the rest of the priests were not much better. The only one whose appearance has not changed a lot is the priest of Gaya.

Zhang Lan failed to meet Ji Haoguang face to face, so he was taken away. According to Tennyson, the mission was over, and these people went back to their respective planets.

Zhang Lan noticed that Ji Haoguang went back alone. This knowledge made him feel that something was wrong, but he didn't remember it for a while.

Afterwards, the empress, Tennyson, people from the military department, and Priest Gaya held a brief summary meeting in the conference hall.

At first Zhang Lan couldn't figure out why Tennyson insisted on inviting him to participate, but after listening for a few minutes, he understood the man's intention.

Tennyson came back from training, and participated in a difficult task for the group, which exceeded the scope of the student's homework.The place he went to this time is the edge star, where the orcs are infested, which has caused troubles for the nearby residents all the year round, but because of the limited distribution of military forces, the orcs are powerful but extremely cunning, the security problem there has not been completely resolved .Tennyson chose it as a training assignment, almost equivalent to going directly to the battlefield.Thanks to Tennyson, he was still doing well. It took nearly a month to unite with his partners to wipe out the insects and beasts. The casualties were basically negligible. Only his "Pioneer" was damaged in the final game and is still being repaired. .

In the first half of the meeting, people from the military department commended Tennyson in various ways, and holographic video recordings and speech manuscripts emerged alternately, almost exaggerating him, while the empress deliberately led the topic to the field In the selection of divisions, he claimed that Keqi was not worthy of Tennyson, and he should change to a better domain division.

When the empress said this, her eyes drifted towards Zhang Lan. Zhang Lan was sitting in the corner, pretending that she didn't see or hear her hint, and just sneered in her heart: Tennyson linked so many people, Just to show off your muscles in front of yourself?It's a pity that he did this to wink at the blind.

After the lengthy military and political summary, the emperor asked about the fel energy seal.

Zhang Lan pricked up his ears this time, pretending not to care much on the surface, but secretly paying attention to every punctuation mark the priest said next.

As a result, the priest just said: "After returning to the emperor, the evil energy has been cleared."

The empress smiled slightly: "I can rest assured that my lord priest will do things."

Fortunately, the two teenagers next to the priest respectfully presented a set of itinerary. The Empress glanced at it casually, as if she didn't bother to check it, and handed it directly to the people in the military department.

The Priests Association has always been very mysterious. The itinerary is just a routine report, and does not involve specific matters. It simply states during this period, when the priests practiced the ritual, when it ended, and when the final seal was completed. , and estimated that the effective date of the seal is about a ten-year cycle.

For most people in Gaya, the military and political reports are more interesting than the priest's reports, so even the empress is a little distracted, but the more Zhang Lan listens, the more startled he becomes.

Because according to the observation of his practice in the past few days, every change in the spiritual energy coincides with the time of the priest's practice!

He originally only suspected that the two were related, but now, Zhang Lan is very sure that the disappearance of aura has a great relationship with the seal of "evil energy", and even boldly guessed that the "evil energy" identified by interstellar people in the future may be aura .

But here comes the problem again. According to legend, "evil energy" is a heinous energy that destroys genes, but spiritual energy is absolutely not. In immortality.

Even in Zhang Lan's previous life, even if the public opinion called their Zhang family a feudal superstition, they were still in awe of Taoism, and they would never put them in a position of complete opposition and complete hostility.Why is it that the Priests Association and even people in the whole interstellar think that it is a harmful thing, and they do not hesitate to spend so much manpower and material resources to seal it every ten years?

Resisting the urge to question, Zhang Lan silently clenched his fists.He wants to find out by himself!

After the meeting, Zhang Lan politely declined the invitation of the empress to have a meal together. In order to avoid being abrupt, Zhang Lan asked, "Can I have a stroll in the palace?"

The empress seemed to be delighted by his cautiousness, and said with a smile: "You are our fourth princess, the palace is your home, you can go anywhere, but why do you want to go shopping?" For more than half a month, Zhang Lan was indifferent to everything.

"Probably staying in the dormitory these days, wanting to take a walk." Zhang Lan replied.

Empress: "Let Tennyson take you?"

Zhang Lan resolutely refused: "No, I want to go by myself, so as not to disturb your mother and son to reminisce about the old days."

After saying that, he saluted and left the front hall.

"..."

Seeing him disappearing around the corner, the gentle smile on the Empress's face became a little cold, and she said to Tennyson, "Are you really going to rob him with Ares? He is just a student, and there are many in the army. Excellent professional field teacher, when you graduate, the candidate is no longer just a three-acre land in the school, why should you compete with your brother? This makes it difficult for the mother to do it."

"Hehe, my mother doesn't understand. He is a talent handpicked by Principal Mies."

"Old Mies?" The Empress showed a surprised expression, "He hasn't accepted disciples for many years."

"So, Zhang Lan is valuable!" Tennyson made no secret of his greed in his eyes, "Since my brother has given me the position of crown prince, it's not a big deal for him to have an extra domain master."

"Tennyson!"

Tennyson let out a "hush" and said with a smile, "Understood, I don't say these things, and it's not so easy to say, the father still has a hand..."

"It's good that you know it, don't be impatient." The empress warned him, and winked again, "While Ares is not here now, go and accompany your future domain master."

"Then I won't accompany you for now."

"Go."

-

After Zhang Lan came out of the front hall, he decided to head towards the altar.

He has a good memory, although he only went down once under the leadership of the priest of Gaya, he firmly memorized the route.He avoided all the soldiers who came forward to ask or help, frowned slightly when he saw countless cameras floating around, and did not take out the "Talking Spirit".Fortunately, as we gradually approached the big altar that we visited a few days ago, the number of cameras was significantly reduced. When we reached the altar, we couldn't even see a single one. Obviously, the priest's activity point was not within the monitoring range.

At this time, there was no one here, so Zhang Lan walked to the circular altar in the center, and slowly stroked the stone countertop, which was very simple for modern technology.There are many patterns drawn on the altar. If a layman looks at it, he must think it is the style of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the innate gossip, and the nine stars of Heluo, but Zhang Lan can clearly see that almost all of these are wrong, fake, or in other words, It is the opposite, exactly the same as the rough-made gossip mirror in the hands of the priest of Gaya before, and it is definitely not a product of Taoism.

There was a faintly icy aura in the air, which was inexplicably familiar.If he guessed correctly, these are the energy bodies left after the members of the Priests Association performed the technique.

Zhang Lan closed his eyes, mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, and tried to capture the weird energy floating in the air. When the spiritual energy touched it, the blood of the blood curse that Ji Haoguang injected into his body began to boil again, as if it had produced with these breaths resonance.Zhang Lan tried to suppress the restlessness in his body, but when he slowly performed the elaborate exercises, the breath in the air suddenly rushed into his body like a cat smelling fishy.

It was a very cold, very cold feeling, and Zhang Lan felt like falling into an ice cave at that moment.After reacting, he quickly counterattacked with the spiritual energy in his body. Two completely different energy bodies bit each other in his body. Fortunately, the spiritual energy prevailed. The external breath struggled for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.Zhang Lan tried a few more times, and found that every time he wanted to draw his aura out of the body, he would always attract a wave of that cold aura, but once he stopped probing, those auras just drifted away like wandering spirits.

Zhang Lan was very surprised. Obviously, if these are the remaining energy bodies of the Priest Association, then it means that the power of the priests is deliberately restraining the aura, and the sealing ceremony is indeed aimed at the aura...

However, there are gaps in any seal. Although the spiritual energy is not as abundant as before, there will be more or less leftovers. As long as he follows that little trace, he will always find the place of the seal.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lan took out the "Talking Spirit" in his arms and lit it again.A wisp of green smoke curled up, burning a little faster than when he was in the bedroom, but at the same time, affected by some aura, the blue smoke became stronger and weaker.Zhang Lan pinched out a few hand formulas with one hand to protect the wisp of smoke. After a while, some changes occurred on the spirit detection talisman, which was incomprehensible to laymen, but Zhang Lan knew at a glance that it was guiding spiritual energy for him Dense place.

Zhang Lan followed the instructions and walked slowly in one direction.After a short walk, he entered an arched corridor that was unguarded and had no cameras. Because he was so absorbed in noticing every change in the talisman, he didn't see the words "Forbidden Palace" shining brightly above the palace. Two words.

Since entering the corridor, his five senses have been tense, and he can sense everything within ten meters.

Not long after, I suddenly felt someone approaching behind me, and the speed was not slow.

Zhang Lan's expression froze, he put away the spirit detection talisman, and quickened his pace, trying to get rid of the people behind him.But the other party obviously didn't want to let him go. Seeing him speeding up, that person also increased his speed, faster than Zhang Lan's footsteps. They only needed to turn a corner, and the two could meet.

The other party's aura is not unfamiliar, Zhang Lan rolled his eyes, and in desperation, took out the magic talisman that he had always prepared on his body - "Mixie", and a second before the man caught up, his mind moved, and a trace of spiritual energy was activated set it on fire.

In the next second, that person appeared in front of his eyes, and the two came face to face.But because of the function of the suffocating talisman, Zhang Lan seemed to disappear from that person's presence - of course, this does not really make the living person disappear, but it just makes people unable to feel the existence of the user.

Sure enough, the man opened his eyes wide: "Where is the man! Why is he missing?"

This meeting, Zhang Lan also saw the other person's appearance clearly, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but heard him say: "...No, no, I know you are still here!"
