Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 214 A fateful encounter

At this moment.

The bright moon hangs high and the night is quiet.

In the disciple courtyard of the Tianshi Mansion, in one of the rooms of the direct disciples, Zhang Chulan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

For some reason, he always felt that there was a voice buzzing in his mind, as if telling something, but when he calmed down and tried to listen clearly, it was vague and difficult to distinguish.

"hiss……"

"Could it be that my behavior today was too shameless and my conscience is uneasy?"

After tossing and turning in bed for a while, Zhang Chulan took a deep breath, sat up suddenly, and couldn't help scratching his head and muttering to himself.

"That's not right. Grandpa instructed me to do this. Even Master doesn't care. Why should I care?"

Although he was confused, he knew that it was impossible for him to fall asleep at this moment. Since he was so restless, it was impossible for him to meditate, so he simply got up from the bed.

"Forget it, let's go out for a walk and take a breath first."

With this thought, Zhang Chulan pushed the door open and left the disciple courtyard. As expected, when he walked to the mountain path outside the Tianshi Mansion and felt the mountain breeze, the voice in his mind gradually weakened.

"Well, it seems that the pressure brought by the 'Luotian Dajiao' is too great and my heart is too tense. I really need to relax."

So, he concluded that this was caused by too much pressure on himself. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then continued walking on the mountain road, all the way to the top of the mountain.

But soon...

"Ok?"

Zhang Chulan widened his eyes and found a figure appeared not far in front of him. The figure was wearing a Naduotong employee uniform and a Naduotong baseball cap. He had his back to him and was looking up at the stars in the sky.

Judging from the long black hair cascading from under the hat and the slim figure faintly visible under the uniform, this should be a woman. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, wondering if she was arranged by the company to patrol the mountain at night.

"Is this necessary..."

Muttering softly, Zhang Chulan walked straight forward. Since returning to Longhu Mountain and learning everything about the alien world, he naturally knew the existence of the company and its significance.

In his opinion, the existence of an organization like a company is understandable, but it is impossible to agree with it from a standpoint. After all, aliens have existed since ancient times, and nothing had gone wrong before the company was established.

"Hello, you are an employee of the company, right? You are still patrolling so late, it must be very hard..."

As he thought about it, he greeted them.

Although he already had an opinion about the company, he had never had any serious contact with the company's employees. Anyway, he had nothing to do now, so he might be able to get more information by chatting with the company's employees.

"Ok?"

Hearing the sudden voice behind him, the employee moved slightly, then came to his senses, turned around and looked at Zhang Chulan.

"what……"

But when Zhang Chulan saw her appearance clearly, and saw the pair of extremely pure big eyes on her jade-like face, he was stunned and showed an expression of surprise.

Obviously, he didn't expect that the other person would be so beautiful. Even without makeup, she would be a real beauty just by her temperament. Even though her hair was unkempt and a little messy, it was enough to make people fall in love with her.

Of course, as a cultivator with a firm mind, Zhang Chulan would not lose his spiritual focus just by looking at a beautiful woman. It's just that everyone has a love for beauty, and he just appreciates it more.

"Li Si (you are)... not shaking Bi Lian?"

However, the next second, the woman suddenly spoke in an authentic Sichuan and Chongqing dialect, bringing him back to reality.

"Uh……"

"Sister, why do you curse at me when you meet me?"

Zhang Chulan frowned when he heard this, obviously he didn't know how others called him behind his back.

"Swearing? I didn't curse..."

Seeing that he was a little angry, the woman scratched her head with an innocent expression.

"They all call you Li."

"They? Ah..."

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan immediately understood. It seemed that his actions this time really made many people unhappy, but this was normal.

This guy has always been thick-skinned. When he realized what was happening, he grinned:
"Haha, if you don't want to shake the Bilian then don't shake the Bilian!"

An air of indifference.

then……

"Sister, are you on patrol so late at night?"

He felt that the beautiful woman in front of him looked silly, and he immediately became interested, so he asked the same question again.

"Patrol? No..."

The woman shook her head and raised her hand to pat her head.

"I just couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk. Li (you) are also four (are)?"

She could see the "irritability" in Zhang Chulan's expression and the sleepiness in his eyes, which was obviously a sign of wanting to sleep but being unable to, so she pointed at him and started talking.

"Oh? You can't sleep either?"

After hearing this, Zhang Chulan carefully looked at the face opposite him and then recalled it.

"You don't seem to be participating in the competition, so why do you feel this pressure?"

Having said that, he guessed in his heart that it might be because of the task assigned by the company.

But the next second...

"No, I just felt like someone didn't want me to fall asleep. They kept buzzing around my ears like a mosquito. It was very annoying..."

The woman shook her head again in denial.

"But the strange thing is, as soon as I came out, I felt how old I was..."

That's why she was standing here looking at the stars.

"Ah? So you are also..."

Only then did Zhang Chulan realize that the other party's situation was the same as his own, and he couldn't help but exclaim "fate"!
But just when he wanted to ask further questions and chat with the other party, a voice suddenly sounded from the side:
"Zhang Chulan!"

"Who?"

He looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a man with blue hair with side bangs and wearing a casual suit. His eyes fixed on him.

"You are……"

"That 'Green Talisman God' Shan Shitong?!"

After a brief recollection, Zhang Chulan remembered this guy's identity, the "Green Talisman God" Shan Shitong, who was also one of the candidates for the Heavenly Master of this "Luotian Dajiao" and was quite famous among the younger generation.

The reason why he is called the "Green Talisman God" is because the method he practices is the talisman passed down from his family. His family has a close connection with the Taoist talisman sect, and it can be regarded as one of the branches of Taoism among the people.

"Brother Shan, why are you here?"

After taking a look at Shan Shitong, Zhang Chulan began to ask, and then he reacted with an idea.

"Could it be... you also couldn't sleep and came out to relax?"

"also?"

When Shan Shitong heard this, he frowned and couldn't help but think about it.

"From what you said, you guys are the same?"

I have to say, this is a bit strange.

But then...

"Okay Zhang Chulan, stop talking nonsense to me. I'm here to challenge you!"

Shan Shitong suddenly frowned again, and anger appeared in his eyes.

This was also the reason why he suddenly appeared. He had just seen Zhang Chulan's figure from afar, and the scene of the day immediately emerged in his mind. When he thought of his despicable behavior and his identity, he felt that this guy was discrediting Taoism, and his anger suddenly surged.

Although, according to the competition rules, it would be his turn to face off against Zhang Chulan tomorrow, and he had already prepared to teach this guy a lesson, but now that he had met him, he didn't want to wait any longer.

"What do you think, Zhang Chulan? Do you dare to accept my challenge? Whoever wins will withdraw from tomorrow's competition to avoid further embarrassment!"

"Uh……"

Seeing his angry look, Zhang Chulan felt confused. No matter how embarrassed he was, he couldn't bring shame to the Shan family. What was this guy angry about? ? ?

However, before he could respond, a powerful aura suddenly rushed out from Shan Shitong's body. He held two talismans in his fingertips, and his expression was full of hostility!
"This……"

In an instant, Zhang Chulan felt that he was locked by a force of energy, and he immediately understood that no matter whether he agreed or not, this battle was unavoidable.

In this case, he could not let the other party vent her anger, and immediately waved his hand at the woman beside him:
"I'm sorry, please stay away so as not to hurt you."

"Oh……"

The woman didn't seem to react much to this. She just nodded and trotted away to behind a tree in the distance.

However, it can be seen that she seemed to be quite interested in the fight between the two. Her eyes were shining as she watched.

At this moment, looking at the aggressive Shan Shitong opposite him, Zhang Chulan's expression suddenly became solemn. He knew that this guy was not a simple character, especially after watching his competition during the day...

He could see that, although the talismans this guy used were from the same lineage as Taoism, they had become a school of their own after a long period of evolution. In particular, there was a unique talisman handed down from his family that could seal a person's Qi meridians and cut off their Qi circulation, which was equivalent to destroying the foundation of all of his opponent's methods!

soon……

"Since you want to fight, then come on!"

After the observation, Zhang Chulan had already made up his mind, and he immediately hooked his finger at him, looking down on him with the attitude of a master.

"Humph! Still pretending here!"

Seeing that this guy seemed to be acting like he did during the day, Shan Shitong's anger immediately erupted. He immediately activated the Qi in his body and cast a talisman, raising his momentum again!
In Shan Shitong's opinion, this contest was actually quite simple. As long as he could stick the family talisman on Zhang Chulan's body, he could make it work, and the outcome of the contest would be determined.

Of course, in order to achieve his goal, the Shan family has always been practicing both sex and life, focusing on talismans and secondary on martial arts, and his melee ability is also quite strong. Therefore, at the moment when the true qi burst out, his figure appeared behind Zhang Chulan!
however……

Wow!
The next moment, a bright golden light suddenly lit up, making Shan Shitong's eyes go blank. Then he felt that the talisman in his hand could no longer be attached and was ejected by a force.

"Golden Light Curse!" Seeing the strength of the golden light, Shan Shitong immediately judged Zhang Chulan's general strength, but he was not afraid. His eyes immediately focused:
"Don't think I can't touch you with the body protection skills!"

Snapped!
The next moment, he reacted immediately and attached two talismans on each of his arms. These were the "Hercules Talisman" and the "Sunda Ji Talisman", which could greatly increase his speed and strength.

Then he threw a punch in an instant, hitting the golden light directly. The tremendous force actually dispersed the golden light for a moment, and a talisman appeared in his palm again.

There is no doubt that Shan Shitong has also been baptized by the "Heavenly Medicine" and his strength is far beyond what it used to be. Both his own life and the power of the talismans he requested are no longer what they used to be. He has reached a level that is enough to shake Zhang Chulan's golden light.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's golden light was blasted away, he immediately attached the "Qi-breaking Talisman" in his hand to Zhang Chulan's body. Seeing that his body was close at hand, the outcome was already decided...

"It's done!"

However, just when Shan Shitong thought that he could definitely seal Zhang Chulan's Qi Veins with the ancestral talisman and win with one blow, his eyes suddenly widened and he heard the sound of electric current in his ears...

"Um?!"

Zizizi!
Crack, crackle!

It gave him a shock.

Before he could react, the golden light around Zhang Chulan condensed into lightning, and the high temperature directly burned the talisman in his hand. At the same time, his figure flashed and turned around in an instant, and he was knocked ten meters away by one punch!
Bang! ! !
This is not over yet...

Swah——

The next moment, Zhang Chulan dodged again, and in the blink of an eye, he was approaching Zhi Shan Shitong again, and an uppercut came straight towards his chin.

"this?!"

Seeing this scene, Shan Shitong could not do anything more and could only take out a stack of protective talismans to try to protect his body, but these talismans were also instantly burned by Zhang Chulan's thunder magic, and lost their effectiveness before they could even exert any power!

Immediately afterwards...

Swish!
Zhang Chulan's fist suddenly stopped only one centimeter away from Shan Shitong's chin. The strong wind blew Shan Shitong's hair away, and also blew the burnt talismans into the air, flying all over the sky like rain.

Snapped!
Subconsciously, the talisman in Shan Shitong's hand hit Zhang Chulan's arm, but at the same time he realized that he had already lost...

At this moment, his pupils couldn't help but tremble violently, and his face was full of disbelief!

"Ok?"

At this time, feeling that the Qi channels in his arm were blocked and he could no longer circulate Qi, Zhang Chulan withdrew his hand and took a few steps back.

Seeing Shan Shitong put away the talisman in his hand, he also grinned:

"What's wrong, Brother Shan? Keep going! If you try harder, you'll win!"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Shitong snorted coldly:
"Do you think I'm a fool? You clearly had the chance to attack me just now, but you just gave up... Are you trying to humiliate me?"

"Haha, absolutely not! Brother Shan, you misunderstood! After all, you are my guest of Longhu Mountain, I just don't want to hurt you~"

"?!"

Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Shan Shitong was stunned for a moment. He found that this guy was not what he imagined. His strength and talent were undoubtedly far superior to his own. Then why...

"Well……"

And the next second, he just opened his mouth and fell silent again, his eyes flickering, as if he understood something...

If this guy is so powerful, then his performance during the day will be intriguing.

moment……

"Brother Shan, are you leaving now?"

Seeing Shan Shitong suddenly turned around without saying a word, Zhang Chulan asked subconsciously, but the other party did not respond.

As for Shan Shitong, for some reason, after finishing this battle, the irritability in his heart disappeared instantly. At this moment, he felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart and prepared to go back to practice.

"Ah this..."

Zhang Chulan was confused as he watched Shan Shitong leave, but no matter what, this little episode was finally resolved, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment……

"Li Leng is so fierce, why does he hide during the day?"

A female voice suddenly sounded again, startling Zhang Chulan.

"when?!"

Zhang Chulan turned around and found that the beautiful woman had appeared behind him without him noticing anything. He couldn't help but stare blankly.

Being able to do this means that the other party's strength is at least equal to mine. It seems that I have underestimated the other party before and my worries were unnecessary.

"Hehe, my grandfather said that when you are in the underworld, you should hide as many cards as possible. As long as you haven't used up all your cards, you will have a chance to 'come back to life' under any circumstances!"

After looking at the other person for a while, Zhang Chulan responded.

"..."

"Oh."

But what he didn't expect was that the woman just tilted her head and said "oh" when she heard him, and there was no further reaction. Then she shook her head and prepared to turn around and leave.

Just like Shan Shitong before, she now felt that her mind had regained clarity and there was no need to relax outside anymore, so it was time to go back...

But at this moment, Zhang Chulan suddenly responded and asked her:
"Sis, since we have met by chance, why don't we get to know each other and leave your name?"

"Name?"

"Oh, my name is Feng Baobao."

Feng Baobao paused, replied, and left.

And watching her leaving...

"Baby Feng..."

Zhang Chulan's eyes flickered and he whispered to himself.

After this……

Zhang Chulan took a walk alone for a while, until he was yawning and feeling sleepy, then he turned back to the disciple courtyard and fell asleep peacefully.

At the same time, on the roof not far away, Xia Ye, who had been observing secretly, also fixed his eyes with an expression of "as expected". From what had just happened, it was not difficult to see that Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan had met...

It really is fate!
but……

"It's a bit too inconsistent. It doesn't feel natural."

Xia Ye whispered to himself. Although he knew that this must be the cause of the "corrective force" in the dark, he always felt that there were some unknown problems hidden in it.

After all, the way of heaven and earth lies in the word "nature", and all practitioners in the world follow this principle. The movement of heaven and earth should also be based on the word "nature" first. Such inexplicable "action" is really not in line with "reason".

Or……

"These 'corrections' do not originate from heaven and earth, or do not originate from the 'original intention of heaven and earth'?"

At this thought, Xia Ye suddenly remembered the previous conversation with Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng said that there might be something like the "soul of heaven and earth" in the inner scene, which possesses the "basic instincts" of a "living being."

If it was such a "thing" that acted based on "crude instinct", all of this might be explained, and it can indeed be explained!
"Interior scene...it's still interior scene!"

Thinking of this, Xia Ye narrowed his eyes, realizing that the truth of everything was still within him.

……

……

that's it.

The night passed by in a hurry.

The next morning, the candidates who were going to participate in the subsequent competition got up early, and after having breakfast, they began to get ready.

Since the second round is a one-on-one match and requires more time, today's competition will start earlier than yesterday. The second round will begin around ten o'clock in the morning.

There is no doubt that this second round of confrontation will be more intense than the first round. After all, anyone who can win against three alone is not a mediocre person. In addition, everyone has been strengthened by potions and cannot control their strength, so situations such as injuries to opponents begin to occur.

However, everyone is a martial artist, and they all know that in a martial arts competition, it is not uncommon to get injured, disabled or even killed. After knowing that the logistics and medical care this time are in the hands of the current "No. 1 Divine Doctor in China", Doctor Xia, the elders from various sects also feel relieved.

As time went by, the competitions passed quickly. When the candidate sent by the company to participate in the competition was defeated by Wang Ergou from the Lu family, Zhang Chulan also came to the venue.

But it was obvious that his opponent would not appear. After last night's competition, Shan Shitong already knew the gap between himself and Zhang Chulan, so there was no need to compete again...

"Shan Shitong cannot enter the competition on time and will be deemed to have given up!"

After waiting for a long time, with the referee's announcement, Zhang Chulan also advanced.

“The winner—Zhang Chulan!”

For a moment, there were boos all around, and everyone was wondering what shady tricks he had played. One of the players who had been eliminated by him before couldn't help but jump off the field to compete with the absent player.

"Zhang Chulan! If you want to be a man, then fight me in an upright manner!" After being held down by two Taoist priests, the man shouted loudly.

However, when Zhang Chulan heard this, she just made a motion to lift her skirt, causing her to choke and freeze in place for a moment.

Then...

Time quickly came to the afternoon, and the last four competitions were about to begin. The remaining candidates who had not yet appeared were ready to go and began to move.

It can be seen that these guys have been getting very frustrated. Seeing those people in front of them fighting in pairs one by one, they have already lost their patience. Now that it is finally their turn, smiles suddenly appear on their faces.

After a while...

"Contestant for this competition, Hong Bin! Zhuge Qing! Invite the contestants to enter!"

Following the referee's announcement, "Little God of Fire" Hong Bin and Zhuge Qing from the Zhuge family entered the venue at the same time and stood opposite each other.

Seeing these two people, Xia Ye in the stands couldn't help but narrow his eyes. In the original plot, he felt that this competition was quite interesting, and this time both of them had their own breakthroughs, so it would definitely be even more exciting. He couldn't help but reveal an expression of anticipation.

At this time, facing his opponent, "Little Fire God" Hong Bin grinned, waved at the opponent, and his muscles bulged.

Looking at Zhuge Qing again, he was still narrowing his eyes, remaining calm, and appearing extremely confident as always.

Soon, the referee Taoist priest announced:
"The competition begins!"

The competition also began!
