Origin

Not only Wu Zhongyuan was nervous, but Wang Xinran was also nervous. The two of them turned around to look back at almost the same time, only to find that behind them was a stone wall covered with weeds, and there were traces of wormholes.

The disappearance of the wormhole shows that this two-way wormhole does need to carry something special to travel back and forth, which is what the two people called the ticket. However, it is obvious that the two do not have the ticket, and this escape route is cut off.

"If it weren't for modern times, there wouldn't be teleportation formations copied from the West, and we would be trapped here." Wang Xinran said with a trembling voice. She has a good psychological quality and is rarely so nervous.

Wu Zhongyuan calmed down and said comfortingly, "It's okay, don't be nervous. If it weren't for modern times, the little wizard Wu Qiu would still be alive."

"But your previous return disrupted the original arrangements of the Bear Clan, so he may not still be there." Wang Xinran said.

Although Wu Zhongyuan was comforting Wang Xinran, he didn't feel confident. However, after a breeze blew by, he finally felt confident. A white object was blown over by the wind and hung on a branch not far away. It was an old plastic bag.

Wu Zhongyuan ducked over, took off the plastic bag, brought it back and handed it to Wang Xinran.

Seeing the plastic bag, Wang Xinran was relieved and took a long breath. "It seems that although this wormhole leads to modern times, the location where it appears is not fixed."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and looked around, "There are elm and locust trees here, it should be in the north."

"Quickly see if the two missing spirit insects are here." Wang Xinran urged.

Hearing Wang Xinran's words, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly took out the armor ball from his waist bag, opened it with spiritual energy, and released the spirit worm inside.

This spirit insect is the mother of spirit insects. Its shape is larger than the two that Qi'er released before. After the armor ball was opened, the spirit insect spread its wings and flew out from inside. It flew around Wu Zhongyuan and then headed towards Fly south.

The spirit insect flies in a straight line, and it is obvious that it has a clear destination.

Seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Mother of Spirit Insects was looking for the disappeared spirit insects. The disappearance of the spirit insects in this time and space meant that Jiang Nan was also in this time and space.

Fearing that he would be lost, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly stretched out his spiritual energy to support Wang Xinran and follow the spirit insect.

"Why does it keep barking?" Wang Xinran asked.

"I don't know." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said. The spirit insect kept making a low chirping sound while flying.

The sound does not come from the friction of wings, but from the mouth. The cry is full of urgency and heavy sadness.

The flying speed of spirit insects is faster than that of ordinary beetles, almost the same as swallows. Wu Zhongyuan asked Wang Xinran to follow him, and it was not difficult to follow.

After climbing over a towering mountain, lights appeared in the distance. Seeing the lights, Wu Zhongyuan was completely relieved. Yes, it was really modern.

Not long after, the spirit insects left the mountains and entered the fields.

After entering the field, the flying speed of the spirit insect slowed down, its body swayed unsteadily, and its screams became more and more sad.

"What's going on?" Wang Xinran also noticed something was wrong with the spirit insect.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the call. The spirit insect had been flying at a low altitude. At this height, it was easy to hit the wires in front.

When it was still a few hundred meters away from the wire in front, the spirit insect swayed more and more violently, and finally lost its balance and flopped to the ground.

Seeing the spirit insect falling, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly collected his breath and landed on the ground, observing and sizing up the spirit insect. At this time, the spirit insect was still chirping, but the sound was very low. After landing, he tried to fly again, but after several attempts, it finally failed. The situation was like What a cicada after autumn.

"Its condition is not optimistic. It seems to be dying." Wang Xinran was worried.

"It shouldn't be like this. Red Lian Huarong said it can survive for half a month." Wu Zhongyuan used the Aryan beast-controlling technique to sense the emotions of the spirit insect while speaking. The spirit insect seemed extremely impatient and in pain at this time. With sadness.

"I know," Wang Xinran suddenly raised her voice, "it can't stand the modern atmosphere."

After hearing Wang Xinran's words, Wu Zhongyuan realized that the oxygen content of the modern atmosphere is much lower than that of ancient times, and there are also various atmospheric pollutions. People from ancient times would suffer serious discomfort if they appeared directly in modern times. Wu Zhui is the best. It proves that spiritual insects are the same as humans. As long as they are living creatures, they need to breathe oxygen.

When Wu Zhongyuan came to his senses, he hurriedly took the spiritual insect back into the armor ball and wrapped the armor ball with spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was not oxygen, but a benign breath that could replace oxygen.

But it was a pity that he failed to save the spirit insect. After a low cry of grief, the spirit insect still died.

Although he possesses Tai Ling's cultivation, he still cannot revive the dead. After several attempts, Wu Zhongyuan was completely discouraged, put away the A-ball, closed his eyes and sighed.

Wang Xinran also knows the seriousness of the problem. It is now certain that Jiang Nan is in modern times. The death of spiritual insects will increase the difficulty of finding Jiang Nan, but this problem can be overcome. The biggest problem right now is Jiang Nan's safety. Jiang Nan was also in ancient times. It has been three days since the person disappeared. Staying in modern times for three days will not lead to Jiang Nan's death, but staying for a long time will definitely not.

"Let's go, first determine our location, and then get in touch with the headquarters as soon as possible." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan was about to answer the call when he suddenly noticed that there were several abnormal auras approaching quickly in the distance, not from the southeast, northwest, but from the sky.

Feeling in my heart, I looked up and saw a group of white clouds appearing in the sky, and those abnormal auras came from the white clouds.

The white cloud quickly approached from high in the sky. As the distance approached, Wu Zhongyuan became more and more aware of the abnormal aura in the clouds. There were five anomalous auras, one was Tailing, two were Jade Void, and two were Shangxu.

These five breaths are righteous and harmonious, unlike heretical practices.

After a while, white clouds floated in, hovering a hundred feet in the sky, and a middle-aged man wearing ancient court clothes appeared. This man must be around fifty years old, dressed as an official, holding a scroll of yellow silk in his left hand.

At the same time as this person appeared, four young men also appeared behind him. These four men were dressed as officials, with their heads held high and swords hanging from their waists. They were regarded as the middle-aged man's followers.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran looked up in confusion, the middle-aged man took the lead and spoke up, "May I ask, little master, what sect you are from, where your ancestral home is, and what your last name is. Why can't you be found in the heavenly records?"

Although Wu Zhongyuan has never seen an immortal, he has heard legends about immortals from his master. It is said that if a Taoist priest has successfully practiced his Qi and reached the realm of immortals, the heaven will sense it and send someone down to earth to confer it and lead him to heaven. This middle-aged man who looks like an official It is very likely that he is the receiving official of heaven.

"I have the guts to ask, are you the Heavenly Court official?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Exactly," the middle-aged Tianguan nodded, "I am Tianguan Zhou Zhi. I am young and promising, and have achieved great success in Qi training. The upper court specially sent me to pick me up. It's just that the origin and sect ancestry of the real person are difficult to understand. If we can find it, how can we get this edict?"

"My name is Wu Zhongyuan." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Oh." The middle-aged Heavenly Official nodded, then spread out the yellow silk and read out the imperial edict of destiny, "The Jade Emperor has an edict. Zhong Yuanzi, a Taoist from the lower realm, has reached heaven and enlightened the Tao. He has done good deeds for the world and has no negative deeds. Now his merits are complete. Heavenly Court has decreed, He was granted the title of Left Minister of Fengleiyuan and ranked among the Heavenly Immortals."

What the middle-aged Heavenly Official read out was an imperial edict issued by the Heavenly Court. This imperial edict should be a universal template. To put it bluntly, most people who are successful in cultivating Taoism use this set of rhetoric.

"Congratulations to Master, congratulations to Master," Heavenly Official Zhou Zhi smiled and congratulated, "Please accept the imperial edict and return to heaven with me."

Wu Zhongyuan was completely surprised by the decree from Tianguan. Since the incident happened suddenly, he was a little stunned. Naturally, he would not accept the decree and be granted the title, but for the moment he couldn't think of how to refuse it safely.

At this moment, an auspicious cloud appeared in the sky again, coming quickly from the eastern sky, and a moment later it was over the two of them. This time it was an old man with white beard and hair, and he was also wearing ancient official uniforms.

The old official arrived in a hurry, appeared beside Zhou Zhi, and whispered to each other.

Hearing the words of the Heavenly Official, Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded and took a breath of cold air.

"How can you rashly go down to the realm to declare an edict without careful inspection? How can you deal with the consequences of breaking the way of heaven and messing up your responsibilities?" The old heavenly official complained in a low voice, "Why don't you apologize quickly and go earlier?"

In just a moment, Zhou Zhi was already sweating profusely. He raised his sleeves to wipe it off, bent over and held his hands in his hands, "I neglected to observe and almost messed up the etiquette. I dare you to be patient and bear with me. We are going now. You can do it." Take it easy."

After Zhou Zhi finished speaking, he disappeared and hurried away with his entourage. The old heavenly official bent over Wu Zhongyuan and gave a salute, and then disappeared in the clouds.

After a while, the two auspicious clouds disappeared, leaving only Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran looking at each other in confusion.

"What's going on?" Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan guessed, "I have been promoted to Tai Ling. In modern times, Tai Ling's cultivation level is equivalent to that of a heavenly immortal. They may have noticed that a person with the cultivation level of a heavenly immortal has appeared in the world, so they came to deliver the message as usual."

"I know this," Wang Xinran said, "What I don't understand is what did they mean when they left?"

"They must have discovered that I don't belong to this time and space." Wu Zhongyuan said uncertainly.

Wang Xinran was not satisfied with Wu Zhongyuan's explanation, but she also knew that Wu Zhongyuan's mind was not on this, and the top priority was to find Jiang Nan as soon as possible.

It dawned very early in summer and autumn. It was almost dawn at this time, so Wu Zhongyuan took Wang Xinran to the villages and towns ahead.

This is the second time that Wu Zhongyuan has returned to modern times. The last time he was forcibly sent back, all that came back was his soul, and he was in a very embarrassed state. This time he returned on his own initiative, with full preparations and extremely high cultivation, but he didn't do anything. He was very proud of returning home without clothes, because he came back to find someone, not to visit relatives.

Because it was too early, there were no open shops in the villages and towns, so Wu Zhongyuan took Wang Xinran directly to the county seat. The two were currently located in the east, west and south of Shandong.

When they arrived at the county town, there were more people. Wu Zhongyuan could become invisible himself, but could not help Wang Xinran become invisible. He had to change into modern clothes and walk into the city with Wang Xinran.

Now that the spirit worm is dead, we cannot rely on the spirit worm to find Jiang Nan. We can only place our hope in the 18th Precinct. After all, Jiang Nan came to modern times with his people and the golden eagle. The target is relatively large, so it is relatively easy to find him.

Wang Xinran found a restaurant that was open 24 hours a day, borrowed a phone to contact the 18th Branch, and then ordered a meal and wolfed it down. Compared with the modern exquisite food, the ancient food seemed very crude and had few condiments. , in comparison, modern food is more delicious.

Wu Zhongyuan's heart was heavy and he had no intention of eating. He sat by the window and looked out the window, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the 18th Precinct...
