……mortal?

Xia Zhitao was stunned, Zhang Kuang's life experience was very vague in the original book, never mentioned in detail.

The only thing that has been pointed out is that Zhang Kuang's previous name was "Zhang Lan", and he is not very old, so there will be no more.

When Xia Zhitao just passed through the book, in order to adapt to the fantasy world and survive, she wrote at least dozens of meticulous plans.

One of them included "If you can't get along with the heroine, how to avoid arrogance and survive under her hands", for this reason, I did not miss the news about the number one boss in the book.

After the incident of Suo Molou, Yashan worked hard and tried so hard, but she couldn't find even a little bit of her origin.However, there are many rumors in the market. Some people say that she is a demon cultivator, some people think that she is a demon, and some even speculate that she is a ghost from the ghost world.

Even the Unknowing Pavilion, who claims to be "omniscient and omniscient" and controls intelligence transactions, privately offered a huge reward for any information about Zhang Kuang.

But what Xia Zhitao never imagined was that Zhang Kuang was just a mortal, or in other words, "was" also a mortal.

Her intuition might have something to do with Zhang Kuang's old name "Zhang Lan", but Xia Zhitao actually searched through the Yashan history books privately, but couldn't find any information about "Zhang Lan".

If Zhang Kuang "used" to be a mortal, what happened, and what did she go through to reach the current spiritual realm?

The more Xia Zhitao thought about it, the more curious she became, and while she was holding a lantern, she sat obediently in front of her, not asking who she was asking.

So, she sat up straighter, leaned her head a little closer, and asked, "A mortal?"

"Well, I was once a mortal."

Zhang Kuang smiled, and said calmly: "My parents are mortals, probably the most ordinary couple in the world."

She paused, and her voice was a little emotional: "It was clearly only fifty years ago, but when I talk about it now, it always feels like a lifetime away."

Zhang Kuang mentioned it vaguely and then passed, as if he had no intention of going into details.Xia Zhitao was about to urge her to say more, but Zhang Kuang spoke first, his voice was subdued, and Nuonuo said, "It's strange, why aren't you afraid of me."

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" Xia Zhitao sat up straighter, looked at her leisurely, and said helplessly, "Why should I be afraid of you?"

At the very beginning, Xia Zhitao was indeed a little scared, or rather frightened and arrogant.After all, he is the number one boss in the book, and he is absolutely invincible at his peak state, an extremely terrifying existence.

In addition, she joined Yashan and listened to all kinds of strange rumors every day. Even if she knew it well, she would inevitably be affected a little.

But Yao Lin met for the first time, and then the second, third, and fourth time...you will find that Zhang Kuang is not what the world says at all.

Although it looks cold and difficult to get along with, in fact, he is obedient and obedient, foolishly believing everything.

Zhang Kuang clasped his five fingers, turned his head slightly, and looked at her secretly from the gap between the strands of long hair hanging down: "The way of Shura... and the matter of locking the demon building are all done by me, I can't deny it."

You also know that you are the leader of the Demon Cult.

Xia Zhitao didn't want to complain about her anymore, Zhang Kuang, the leader of the Demon Cult, was so irresponsible to the extreme, running around all day long, how could he have the rich experience of the other three villains.

"What about the leader of the Demon Cult?"

Xia Zhitao stretched out his hands to rub her, the movements were skillful and natural, he grabbed the cheeks and pinched her, the fingertips felt delicate and soft, like fluffy clouds.

Zhang Kuang didn't quite understand why, no matter whether he was the main body or the condensed spirit body, Xia Zhitao always liked to pinch her, but it was enough to make the other party happy.

"However, do you really think you still have the majesty of the leader?" Xia Zhitao teased, "Look, even Senior Sister Jin's little red fish is not afraid of you anymore."

Zhang Kuang: "..."

What a broken fish, grill it.

Since Zhang Kuang didn't want to talk about the past, Xia Zhitao didn't pursue it further.However, Zhang Kuang was once a mortal, she hadn't expected it at all.

If you follow this clue, you may find a lot of information buried in the background of the story that has not been written in the book.Maybe there will be clues that can change the direction of the story and change the expected ending.

.

The sky was getting late, and the black curtain was like silk, stretching from the sky, covering the blue sky and embellished with countless bright stars.

They were led by the steward, wandered around the huge Yunji Palace, and took some ribbons and paper lanterns along the way, but from the beginning to the end, the little princess Yuan Rufei who brought them here never showed up.

It's really unpredictable.

The four of them divided the dormitories, Xia Zhitao suspected that Yuan Rufei did it on purpose, the three of them, Yashan, had rooms next to each other, but Zhang Kuang's room was separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, and they were completely partial to each other.

Originally, he asked the steward to reason, but Zhang Kuang directly asked him to go back to Qiling today, and the room was unoccupied anyway, so he let the steward figure it out.

She took a step back, and her figure instantly disintegrated, collapsing into flowers, and the cold wind poured into the corridor, and the petals were swept into the wind, and disappeared in an instant.

Everyone left, there was no need to change the location of the room, the housekeeper left angrily, and Xia Zhitao and the others returned to the room.

People who practice the Tao don't need to sleep too much, and they don't even need to eat after bigu, but Xia Zhitao and the second generation have been mortals for dozens of years after all, and many habits cannot be changed just by changing them.

She lit a candle, took out a yellowed booklet in the room, read the contents carefully, and took a pen to mark a sentence or two from time to time.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The wooden door was knocked three times unhurriedly, Xia Zhitao closed the booklet in his hand, looked at the shadowy figure under the light, feeling a little puzzled.

The steward's gentle and elegant voice came from behind, polite and polite, and asked softly: "I wonder if the emperor has rested? Princess Yuan would like to ask you to explain."

Xia Zhitao was a little puzzled, she thought to herself that the princess hadn't shown up for a whole day, why did she suddenly call me over in the middle of the night?

Yuan Rufei's attitude was unpredictable, and Xia Zhitao happened to be full of doubts, and happened to want to meet her, so the other party's move was really in the right place.

Xia Zhitao calmly put away the booklet, and calmly accepted the job.

The cold wind in Beimo was bleak, but Yunji was still brightly lit at night. When the old man in charge led her out, candles were lit all around, reflecting the bright interior of the palace.

And as the two gradually left the main palace, Xia Zhitao was brought to Qiongyu, the highest in the palace.

The cold wind came across the face, and spread into the muscles and bones along the cuffs, making Xia Zhitao shiver, and quickly mobilized the spiritual energy secretly, so that his body became warmer.

Qiongyu is located at the highest point of Yunzhu Palace, surrounded by clouds and mists, Xia Zhitao casually glanced to the side, and found that if he looked down from the edge, he should be able to see the entire Yunji City.

The sky is full of bright stars, and the lights of thousands of houses in the towns and cities are numerous and dense, spreading out a very lively picture scroll, and one feels festive and jubilant when looking at it.

But on the Qiongtai, there is only a sense of loneliness, even the lights are sparsely lit, allowing the cold wind to rush in, cooling the whole teahouse.

Fortunately, Zhang Kuang left before, the child was terribly afraid of the cold, his body felt a little chilly for some reason, if he followed him to this high platform, he would be foolish to be fooled at first, and the cold wind would make him even more foolish.

The maid waited by the tea room, and when she saw the steward coming with Xia Zhitao, she bent down and respectfully opened the white jade bead curtain, revealing the person sitting behind.

Yuan Rufei was dressed in a moon brocade white dress, the gold and jade on her wrists and hair were removed, the cuffs slipped from her arms, and a jade cup was lightly held between her five fingers, she raised her hand with a smile: "Xianjun."

Xia Zhitao bowed his head in courtesy: "Master Yuan."

"Don't be cautious," Yuan Rufei put the jade cup by the table, and said softly, "I just want to invite you to have a drink and chat for a while, there is no other meaning."

Xia Zhitao didn't refuse, she sat down under the service of the maid, looked at the clear wine in the jade cup, and said with a smile: "You don't need to drink, just use water instead of wine."

In modern times, Xia Zhitao would inevitably have a few drinks at the dinner party, and the amount of alcohol can be said to be deep or light.But after coming to Xuanhuan, she has never touched alcohol and other things, and she was concerned about this, so she politely declined the other party's high-quality ancient wine.

Yuan Rufei nodded slightly as a signal, and a maid came forward to greet her, replaced the jade cup in front of Xia Zhitao, and presented a glass of clear water again.

"The affairs in the city are a bit busy today, and I have only had time to take a break until now. Please don't blame the lord."

Yuan Rufei smiled slightly and said, "Just now I was curious, so I asked the steward, and I heard that you went to the cloth dyeing place and brought some sky lanterns?"

Xia Zhitao thought of Jinli who had taken care of a lot of other people's things, and secretly sighed that Yuan Rufei was really generous in some places, and she didn't get angry even if they messed around.

Yuan Rufei suddenly put down her jade cup, looked at Xia Zhitao with her light eyes, and said softly, "And she's here too."

Xia Zhitao was stunned for a moment, but soon realized who Yuan Rufei was referring to by "she".

The little princess stared at her, and said word by word: "The steward said that she quit drinking, she chose the color of moon white, she is holding a paper lantern, and she has always followed you."

Xia Zhitao sighed softly in her heart, and said, "Yes."

This Yunji County Master is very persistent towards Zhang Kuang, and regardless of his previous trips to Qiling, just by looking at the arrogant banner outside the city, he can already get a glimpse of its outline.

"Why?"

Yuan Rufei used a questioning tone, her voice was not high, trembling slightly due to the cold wind, full of disbelief, "Why would she—"

"Why did she follow us?" Xia Zhitao cut her off, took the conversation over, and sighed softly, "Sorry, I actually don't know."

A long time ago, in the white crane illusion, the heart demon talked about the Shura Dao, saying that she thought she was dead, and she searched for it for a long, long time.

But Xia Zhitao had no impression of this at all.The memory of the past few years from modern times to time travel seems to have been deliberately erased and locked. She is separated by a mirror full of mist, which is hazy and unreal.

Yuan Rufei's pupils were extremely light in color, not like the deep black of the Central Plains people, but a golden brown close to the setting sun. At this moment, there was a bit of wine smell, as if covered with a thin layer of water mist.

Xia Zhitao said softly: "You admire her?"

Who knows, after asking this sentence, Yuan Rufei was suddenly stunned, she tilted her head in silence for a long time, and finally shook her head slightly: "...not really."

Xia Zhitao was a little surprised. For her, liking is liking, disliking is disliking, and the relationship between the two is pure and clean, so there are so many entanglements.

"I can't remember clearly, maybe it was five years ago, or maybe three years ago, when I first met her."

Yuan Rufei was holding the jade cup, her eyebrows were indifferent: "I was young and ignorant, in order to catch up with the Central Plains caravan, I recklessly set off with a dozen carriages, and accidentally broke into the depths of the demon forest."

She said: "Because I didn't know the truth from my father, the monks I brought with me were only at the Golden Core level. The team was quickly dispersed by the monsters, and all the guards in the car were lost halfway."

Although she is the only daughter of the lord of the Western Regions, Yuan Rufei is just a mortal with no spiritual energy. The monks hired by a lot of money died and were injured, and the last person desperately protected her.

The two lost their way in the deep forest, and were chased by a sixth-order monster and fled in a hurry. Just when their lives were hanging by a thread——

"She saved us."

Haoran's petals rushed forward, but with one blow, his head was chopped off.Someone stepped on the body of the giant beast, holding a jug of wine between his thin white fingers, and looked down.

The black robe with cloud patterns was scattered in the cold wind, the long soft ink hair fell from the shoulders, the dark pupils were dizzy and soft from the alcohol, but the voice was as clear as jade.

"Another team sent their lives to death," Zhang Kuang commented, "He really did not spare his life."

Yuan Rufei's voice was very soft, and she couldn't hear clearly in the wind. Her gaze fell far away, across the cool tea room, and across the high platform of Qionglou.

"She was wearing a lacquered robe, with no expression on her face, covered with a layer of frost by the sudden moonlight, her figure was lonely and cold, like..."

"Deep in the clouds and mist, the immortal in Qingfeng Moling."

"The world praises Yanling Red Jue as the most beautiful woman in the world because of her beautiful face and charming smile. But I stubbornly feel that she deserves this title only when she was under the moonlight that day."

Yuan Rufei said this, her voice gradually lowered, falling on the cold wind, falling on the empty high platform, she sounded a little lonely: "But, I have never seen her like this."

"I've never seen her look like this, I've never seen her—crying, laughing, angry, shy. Like a normal, normal mortal."

It's like walking in the world for a while, and the whole body is deserted, the length of the house is dyed between the eyebrows and the eyes, the smoke is curling up, and the smile is warm and soft.

"...I'm so jealous of you."

.

Late at night, Xia Zhitao politely declined the steward's offer to send her back, walked down the Qiongyu High Terrace alone, and walked slowly along the corridor in the palace.

Yuan Rufei made it very clear that she didn't intend to embarrass them, and bringing them into the palace was just a moment of anger.

"I'm not admiring her."

Yuan Rufei's voice was unexpectedly flat, and she said casually: "I thought about it for a long time, and found that what I like may be just a lonely shadow under the dark moon."

Whether it's the remnants of Xisheng that Yashan needed, or the Wugourui that she was looking for wildly, they are nothing but useless things to her. If they are kept in the palace to collect ashes, it is better to give them to a few people.

Yuan Rufei told Xia Zhitao not to worry or be anxious. After the Botisi sacrifice was over tomorrow, she would order someone to bring the things and let them go out of the city.

Xia Zhitao sighed inwardly.

Although Zhang Kuang looked nervous before, in fact, the little princess didn't have any malicious intentions, but maybe because of his young age, some actions crossed the line.

For example, he drove through Qiling eight times with more than a dozen cars. Zhang Kuang could sleep until the sun was up every day by himself, but he was still aroused early in the morning, wearing a black robe, rushing out to smash cars and throw people.

It's no wonder that she was so angry that she directly set up more than a dozen layers of restrictions, not to mention entering people in carriages, even a mayfly would not even think about entering, she was so strong that she shut herself out.

Xia Zhitao originally thought it was too late, and planned to go back to rest today, and wait until tomorrow morning to explain the current situation to a few people, so that they can feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, she just walked around the corridor and saw two shadowy human figures in the darkness.

The two of them, one tall and one short, were both dressed in dark night clothes, with black gauze tightly covering their faces, and they were crouching in a hidden corner, murmuring and wondering what they were doing.

A glowing little red fish was caught and used as a lantern, and one of them held it in his hand, and Gulu spit out a string of tiny bubbles.

A voice that was suppressed to the lowest level could be vaguely heard in the air, as if debris were falling, and there were a few crisp "clicks".

Xia Zhitao frowned, walked a few steps closer, squinted at the two people nestled in the corner, and said coolly, "What are you doing?"

As soon as the words fell, both of them were taken aback.

The man trembled all over, the lacquer-ink dagger in his hand couldn't hold it firmly, and it hit the ground with a bang, if Xia Zhitao hadn't pulled it, he would have fallen to the ground in embarrassment.

Jin Li beside her was not so lucky, she knocked against the stone wall, fell straight down, fell to the ground with a "boom", screaming in pain.

At first, Xia Zhitao recognized Jin Li through Little Red Fish, and thought that the person next to him was Wang Yan, and wondered when Wang Yan had grown taller.

In the end, he took off the mask and saw that this familiar white jade face was the same as the leader who said before, "I want to go back to Qiling, so I don't need to stay in the room".

Zhang Kuang was so frightened that his face turned pale, he put his hands in front of his body, and his dark eyes looked at her timidly, as if he had been caught doing something bad.

"Crazy? Why are you here?"

Xia Zhitao didn't expect this, and said in a daze, "What are you two doing sneaking around in Yunzhu Palace in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Kuang said wronged: "This..."

Jin Li got up from the ground while sucking in air-conditioning, her black hair was thrown into a mess, she rubbed her waist, and said, "Hey, Junior Sister Xia is still awake, and you are so interested in the middle of the night, why don't you get up for a walk?"

Xia Zhitao let go of Zhang Kuang, took half a step back, folded her arms, and looked at the two of them leisurely: "Explain."

Zhang Kuang said: "This person said before that he wanted to dig Yunzhu Palace jewels at night. I think this method is very good, so I followed."

"Junior Sister Xia, you don't know something!"

Jin Li plausibly said: "I originally came here with Wang Yan, and I planned to take advantage of the night to pry away all the decorative jewels, and make the princess go bankrupt overnight."

She complained: "As a result, Wang Yan was clumsy, with no strength in his hands, and slowly grinded and grinded. After digging the amber for a long time, the guards almost woke up and didn't get another one."

Xia Zhitao: "..."

Jin Li picked up a few tightly bound packages on the ground, stuffed them all into Xia Zhitao's arms, and said, "But the leader is different. As soon as she said she would come to help, I sent Wang Yan back to sleep."

Jin Li said triumphantly: "Without anyone noticing, we raised a knife and dropped a knife, and dug a wall in a few minutes. The efficiency is as high as five hundred Wang Yan!"

Zhang Kuang proudly said: "Much praise, praise."

Jin Li continued to brag: "Junior Sister Xia, look at us, our cooperation is perfect, and our movements are crisp and neat. Tomorrow, Princess Naluoshizi will come with you, and you are guaranteed to see a bare and dusty Yunzhu Palace!"

Zhang Kuang nodded and said, "Not bad."

Xia Zhitao: "..."

The majestic leader of the demon sect, who does not kill people or set fires, followed the koi fairy spirits of Yashan in the middle of the night, digging the gemstones and emeralds dotted on the walls and floor tiles in Yuan Rufei's Yunzhu Palace—too childish! !

"Both of you, what should I say." Xia Zhitao said helplessly, "Stop digging up other people's walls and floor tiles. It's midnight, go back to sleep."

The leader of the family was originally obedient and obedient, obeyed the law and cared for the elderly, but in the end, Jin Li's brain circuit also followed him and went astray.

Zhang Kuang said angrily: "No, I thought about it left and right, and I felt very angry. I absolutely can't let the princess do whatever she wants."

She squatted down, rummaged through the "tools of crime" that the two of them had piled up in the corner, and took out a slightly old, very heavy ancient book, and opened it for Xia Zhitao to read.

"I made a special trip back to Qiling and brought this ancient jade book," Zhang Kuang said seriously, "Look, Zhitao, this amber is not as valuable as the ice jade we just dug."

Xia Zhitao looked at the ancient books, then looked at Zhang Kuang, and was shocked: "Little Kuang, you ran all the way from the Western Regions all the way back to Qiling just to get this jade illustrated book?!"

Zhang Kuang said blankly: "Yes."

"I used flower petals to explore earlier, but there are too many kinds of gemstones in Yunzhu Palace, and I was a little confused. Suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a similar ancient book in Qiling, so I went back to get it."

Zhang Kuang explained seriously: "Otherwise there are so many gemstones here, how do you know which ones are valuable and which ones are not?"

Xia Zhitao: "..."

Jin Li said: "Junior Sister, look at how serious and responsible the leader is, working hard, you should praise his academic spirit."

Xia Zhitao: "..."

Yunji City was originally located in the central part of the Western Regions, one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Central Plains.They were led by the peak master before, stopping and resting along the way, and walked with the sword for several days before reaching the Western Region from Yashan.

As for Zhang Kuang, he actually ran back and forth in one night, with a radiant expression and no tiredness, and he dug a dozen or so bags of jade with Jin Li, really...

Really, let her not know what to say.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Xia Zhitao said helplessly, "It's almost daylight if you keep making trouble like this, go back and have a rest."

Jin Li said: "Junior Sister, sleep is not as important as making money. We have already hollowed out one hall, and there are still more than a dozen halls waiting. There is a long way to go."

Xia Zhitao was so angry and funny, she felt a little headache from these two people, and raised her hand to gently rub her forehead.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Zhang Kuang panicked. He gave Jin Li a hard look, and whispered, "Zhitao...are you angry?"

Xia Zhitao wasn't angry, she just didn't know what to say about these two people, but seeing Zhang Kuang asking so pitifully, she put on a straight face and said in a cold tone on purpose, "You know."

"I'm sorry." Zhang Kuang quickly apologized, his voice was light and soft, with a bit of soft waxy ending, "Don't be angry, okay?"

She approached cautiously, her black ink-like eyes were slightly bent down, a soft shadow was cast down by her long eyelashes, and she whispered: "Pinch your face?"
