Gao Wu: My Dragon Valley System

Chapter 356 Speculation!

"This... is it possible!"

Zhang Junmo thought of something, but he didn't dare to make a judgment.

"Well, Shengzhong, go find some people to find out if other people have similar experiences. Pay attention, the key point is to ask clearly whether there are people with special abilities who died when someone experienced a fatal disaster."

Gao Shengzhong was also stunned when he heard this.

Although he didn't quite understand what Zhang Junmo meant, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Not long after, Gao Shengzhong came back again.

"I asked several more pilgrims, and they described their own experiences or the experiences of others they knew, and they were all similar to what I just learned!"

"So, among the dead, there must be people with special abilities?"

"Yes, it is!"

After getting Gao Shengzhong's answer, Zhang Junmo was finally sure.

"Evil spirits will haunt people who pray to the Bodhisattva or who hope for peace and health. The purpose of ensuring the safety of the person is to keep the evil spirits moving along with the person's life trajectory. After all, evil spirits don't seem to be able to move freely under the sun alone. However, if there is a person as a carrier, it is completely different. Using the human body as a cover, while spreading ominous signs around, in order to achieve a certain purpose."

"Do not……"

Zhang Junmo felt that his brain was not working fast enough, so he quickly changed his career.

He changed his profession to priesthood.

Not only because the priest has the abilities of light and thunder, but also because the main attribute of the profession is intelligence!

The improvement of his intelligence has enabled him to possess brain thinking abilities beyond his normal level, as well as a stronger mental will, and he will not be easily shaken by the things around him.

"Perhaps the ominousness is just a passive effect of the existence of evil spirits. After all, ghosts themselves are the product of ominousness. And its purpose may simply be to use humans as carriers, constantly moving and changing positions in life, looking for people with special abilities!"

"Yes! It is known that when a petitioner or a person blessed by the Bodhisattva who made a wish encounters a fatal disaster, all the other people present will die, and among them there must be a person with supernatural powers. This is almost certain to be no coincidence. Then, the person with supernatural powers is obviously the target of the evil spirit, or at least one of the targets."

"But why is it a psychic and not a cultivator?"

As he thought about it, Zhang Junmo frowned slightly.

His brain was working rapidly, and pieces of information kept flashing back in his mind.

As his level increased, Zhang Junmo could clearly feel that his brain power was actually increasing. On this basis, the increase in intelligence also brought him a stronger improvement in his thinking ability.

His memory has almost reached the level of a human computer, and he can retrieve his past memories to a great extent.

Just like a powerful search engine, it constantly sets keywords and performs screening.

until……

He thought of the information he had searched online the first time after he had just traveled through time and space and was reborn!

He remembered seeing some conspiracy theories on the Internet at that time.

It is said that many wars have broken out between humans in the history of Tianxing for thousands of years. It seems that the wars were all triggered by the friction between cultivators and people with special powers, and there is a third party behind the scenes pushing them forward!

Such as aliens participating in the war.

The underground race stirs up troubled times.

There are countless such statements.

At that time, he really thought that netizens were just talking nonsense.

However, at this moment, he couldn't help but take these statements seriously.

He had no way of verifying the history.

However, the Hidden Spirit Clan does exist!

Although for some unknown reason, he has not heard any information about the Hidden Spirit Clan from Longting yet, but Zhang Junmo is very sure of the existence of this race.

Beast spirit, shadow spirit, ghost.

All of these have appeared before him.

Every existence seems incredible.

"What the hell is that?"

"Why would a war break out between cultivators and people with special abilities?"

Zhang Junmo couldn't understand.

Because today's society is actually very stable and peaceful in general.

Especially in the Celestial Empire, the existence of the Dragon Court is enough to prevent any practitioner from causing chaos.

Even huge outlaw organizations like the Underworld and the Dark Palace, which seem arrogant and domineering, are only surviving under the majesty of the Dragon Court.

If they truly face the wrath of the Dragon Court, they will be powerless to resist!
If it weren't for the constant turmoil on the border, Longting might have really taken action to wipe them out completely.

Throughout the Celestial Empire, there was no obvious conflict between cultivators and supernatural beings. In fact, due to the intervention of the Dragon Court, there was even a certain degree of unity in the concept of cultivation.

Just as Lin Heng once said in the practice class.

"The so-called practice is to cultivate the truth!"

"Seek the true self! Get rid of the false and keep the true!"

“No matter which system you choose, you will gradually find your own path through learning and imitation! Pursue the true meaning of yourself!”

Under such circumstances, it is even less likely that there will be any contradiction between the so-called two major systems.

"But……"

The situation facing Zhang Junmo now is that the evil ghost seems to be targeting the person with special powers.

Why is this again?
"and many more!"

Zhang Junmo's eyes narrowed suddenly.

He suddenly remembered!
When he first encountered the beast spirit, he was chased by it.

Later, he activated the system, switched to the warrior, and then released the three level 1 skills to knock the beast spirit away, and then fled with Gao Shengzhong.

At the time he thought it was just his good luck or something.

But as he practiced later, he understood that for a being at least at E-level, killing a level 1 like himself who was not much stronger than an ordinary person was no different from crushing an ant!

At that time, he merely used the characteristics of his skill to knock the beast spirit away, but did not really injure it seriously.

The health bar at that time proved this.

But why didn’t the beast spirit catch up later?

Was it really just because my shouting at that time attracted other people's attention?

Then there was the time when the side quest was activated.

The shadow spirit wants to hunt Xiang Beichen.

And Xiang Beichen is actually an awakened psychic.

It was only because of his participation that Xiang Beichen was prevented from entering the alley where the shadow spirit was hidden, and attracted the attention of the residents on the surrounding floors, which led to Xiang Beichen being truly saved.

Then, on the way back to the academy with Gao Shengzhong after participating in the Dragon Court assessment, they encountered a ghost incident for the first time.

The ghost completely focused its target on Gao Shengzhong and ignored its own existence.

If it weren't for the priest's skills and characteristics, Zhang Junmo would not be able to stop the ghost.

At that time, Zhang Junmo believed that he was no match for the ghost, as the fact that the ghost's health bar did not change at all after he had dealt a round of damage was enough to prove this point.

But why did the ghost ignore him and focus entirely on Gao Shengzhong?
That time, there was no one else present!

Just because Gao Shengzhong is also a person with super powers?

What about yourself?

Why am I not being targeted?
Zhang Junmo immediately remembered the shadow spirit he met in Rongcheng later. The other party did not attack him either.

And later, the ghost I met in Qingquan Community.

Obviously all the evil spirits could attack him, but the obviously stronger ghosts completely ignored him.

No, not only that!

During the fierce battle with the ghost at that time, the ghost seemed to be chasing Lu Fei and killing him!

And Lu Fei is the one with super powers!
"Could it be that……"

Zhang Junmo found it incredible.

"Could it be that the Hidden Spirit Tribe's purpose is to hunt down people with special abilities?"

After coming to this conclusion, Zhang Junmo always felt that something was wrong.

"But why am I always ignored? Is it because of the system?"

Zhang Junmo thought about it carefully.

I am indeed special.

Under the influence of the system, his own power is very vague.

In fact, because he can change his profession, he is similar to a practitioner of dual systems of cultivation and supernatural powers.

However, it was difficult for others to clearly discern the source of Zhang Junmo's power during the battle. They only judged his level and ability based on some basic performance and the initial knowledge of the sword summoner.

But this is not particularly strange.

For example, there are some treasures that can blur the realm of one's own power.

For example, some geniuses who want to hide their own realm from others may carry similar treasures.

This can be a piece of clothing, a necklace, or something else inconspicuous.

In short, it can block the perception of others. Zhang Junmo is in a similar situation, but others can feel how strong he is.

However, if he changes his profession to a state of nothingness, others will clearly feel that Zhang Junmo is practicing both the cultivation and supernatural powers systems.

"So, the Hidden Spirit Clan didn't attack me because they sensed that I'm not a superpower?"

"The beast spirit attacked me at that time because the system in my body had not yet been activated. In addition, I was tested to have the qualifications of a B-level psychic, so I was also identified as a psychic?"

"Yes! That's it!"

Zhang Junmo seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Because the system was activated, it had an impact on me. I was no longer a cultivator or a person with special abilities, which affected the beast spirit's judgment of my identity, so it stopped chasing me. In addition, I did wake up many people at that time, which made the beast spirit give up the idea of ​​chasing Shengzhong."

"Hunting people with special abilities! This is most likely the purpose of the Hidden Spirit Tribe!"

"But why would the Hidden Spirit Clan do this?"

"Moreover, neither the underworld nor the evil spirits seem to specifically target people with special abilities. Even the underworld itself has people with special abilities as members!"

Then Zhang Junmo thought about this and felt very strange again.

Because it is obvious that the underworld and evil spirits are supported by the Hidden Spirit Clan.

Since the Hidden Spirit Clan's clear target is people with special abilities, the underworld and evil spirits should also act according to this principle.

But the situation is different now.

“The information is still not comprehensive enough!”

Zhang Junmo gave up thinking.

It’s not a lack of thinking ability, but a lack of information.

He understood that there must be a bigger secret behind the Hidden Spirit Clan.

My main goal now is to explore the truth behind the supernatural. As for the secrets of the Hidden Spirit Clan, as the main quest progresses, I will figure it out one day!

but……

Zhang Junmo looked at Gao Shengzhong.

If the Hidden Spirit Clan's target is people with special abilities, then bringing Gao Shengzhong here seems to be a wrong choice!
Zhang Junmo felt a little annoyed.

Why should I call him?
Given the current situation, I guess he won’t listen even if I chase him away, right?

Zhang Junmo felt that if he were Gao Shengzhong, he would probably be furious if he was asked to leave.

There are certain things a real man does and things he doesn't do.

When the time comes, will you abandon your brothers just because you feel there is danger?

He is not an ordinary person.

They are practitioners and members of the Dragon Court.

I can't do such a thing, and I can't afford to be embarrassed by such a person.

But from Zhang Junmo's point of view, if there are many ghosts hidden in this temple, Gao Shengzhong will face unpredictable crises!
The ghost would most likely ignore him and target Gao Shengzhong.

After careful consideration, Zhang Junmo decided to explain the current situation to Gao Shengzhong.

Like the characters in novels and TV shows, they don't say things out loud, and keep everything in their hearts, which eventually leads to irreversible consequences. That's so stupid.

He believed that Gao Shengzhong would understand what he meant.

"Katsutada."

Zhang Junmo looked at Gao Shengzhong very seriously, "You may be unhappy with what I am saying now. But listen carefully, this is very important!"

When Gao Shengzhong heard this, the expression on his face became a little more solemn.

Although they were not serious at ordinary times, he and Zhang Junmo had already developed a strong tacit understanding. He knew very well from Zhang Junmo's tone that the other party had no intention of joking at all.

"Based on the intelligence just now, I can basically judge that the things behind these evil spirits are targeting people with special abilities! To put it bluntly, if you go in now, you will probably be targeted! You will encounter unpredictable crises. Therefore, I will ask for help from the base now. And you'd better stay away from this place and don't get close!"

Gao Shengzhong stared at Zhang Junmo in disbelief.

He wanted to blurt out, Are you kidding?
But he swallowed it back forcefully.

Because he knew very well that Zhang Junmo was not joking.

Moreover, a lot of the information he just inquired about was obtained by him. It is true that every time someone dies, there are people with special abilities among the dead. This is very noteworthy.

Gao Shengzhong said in a deep voice: "I can promise you that I won't go in for the time being."

"but!"

He stared at Zhang Junmo intently, then said, "If the situation is bad, I will definitely go in and help!"

"Don't say those nonsense!"

"Don't even mention some unknown danger. Even if I'm sure to die, I won't run away! Don't underestimate me! Damn it, two of us agreed to investigate the supernatural events together, but you left me hiding outside alone. After all, I'm the second most talented person in the country! I can't afford to lose that face!"

Zhang Junmo was helpless, as Gao Shengzhong's answer was almost what he expected.

"Okay! It's settled!"

The original reason for calling Gao Shengzhong was to have someone to look after him, after all, this guy is very powerful.

But now, it is obvious that Gao Shengzhong cannot go in with them.

If I suddenly ask Longting for help, I have to think of a suitable reason.

Why did you go to a temple on an island so far away for no reason?
You said you ran so far, and you encountered a supernatural event? Coincidence? How is that possible!

However, it is not easy to come up with a suitable reason. Otherwise, he would not have to ask Gao Shengzhong to accompany him alone. Why not just ask Su Shang to bring his team along?

Just as Zhang Junmo was thinking about how to explain the situation to the captain and the others, a voice came from behind him.

"You two boys, why are you here instead of attending classes at the academy?"

Turning around, Zhang Junmo saw that the visitors were actually two middle-aged men.

The middle-aged man who was speaking was actually an old acquaintance.

"Senior Hu Lai?"

Gao Shengzhong also saw the other party and was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Senior, are you here to worship Buddha as well? But I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place!"

This guy was very straightforward and said this directly.

Zhang Junmo wanted to interrupt, but thought about it carefully.

He was just about to ask for help, and it just so happened that these two people in front of him were the best helpers!

Although he didn't know who the person next to Hu Lai was, if nothing unexpected happened, he should also be a member of Longting.

Because he could feel a faint and heavy aura coming from the other person, he thought that his cultivation was not weaker than Hu Lai's.

As expected, upon hearing Gao Shengzhong's words, Hu Lai's eyes moved slightly and he asked, "Did you guys find out, too?"

"Yes! We discovered before that some pilgrims were possessed by evil spirits!"

Zhang Junmo spoke at this time.

Hu Lai was silent for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Zhang Junmo and said, "It seems that your appearance here is not accidental?"

Zhang Junmo smiled helplessly and said, "Senior Hu Lai, you guessed wrong."

"You know, Shengzhong and I won the first and second place in the national competition! Then when we came back, we found that there were a lot of people blocking us everywhere in the college, which seriously affected our daily studies. Isn't it because we had no choice but to come out for a stroll? I am not from Xiacheng, and I have been in Xiacheng for so long, but I have not really come out to play many times. I just took this opportunity to visit various scenic spots with Shengzhong. Unexpectedly, when we just got here, we found that the temple gates were closed and the atmosphere was a little wrong. Then we found that there were evil spirits attached to some people. However, it seems that these evil spirits are not very strong, so we killed them easily."

"But then we asked a few pilgrims and found out that this temple has a lot of problems!"

Although Gao Shengzhong didn't know why Zhang Junmo's words were different from what he had said before, he didn't say anything.

After hearing this, Hu Lai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay! I forgot to congratulate you guys for winning the first and second place in the individual competition of the national competition."

Zhang Junmo's statement is quite tenable.

Hu Lai could fully imagine what they would be like in college.

For a practitioner's walking speed, a distance of dozens of kilometers is really nothing, not much different from taking a stroll after a meal.

However, Hu Lai was also amazed at the two's terrifying talents.

When I first met the two of them, it seemed that they had just participated in a training competition in Xiacheng College?

What was their strength at that time?
It wasn't long after that, and when they met again, they had become among the best talents in the country.

It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!

There is really no logic in the world of geniuses.

"Um……"

Hu Lai dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked at the man next to him, and then looked at Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong.

"Our team is here to investigate this temple. Since you are here too, that's perfect. Let's join in the operation!"

Hearing this, Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong were delighted.

Team?

They knew that Hu Lai was a member of Jia Zhengjing's team!
In their team, the one with the worst cultivation level is at the peak of the Golden Core Realm!
There are as many as seven people in the Nascent Soul stage!

And Jia Zhengjing, as the leader of the Longting Base in Xiacheng, is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm!
For them at the moment, they are definitely at the big boss level!
Of course, what they didn’t know was that Jia Zhengjing had already broken through to the out-of-body realm.

"OK! If the seniors are willing to take us to gain experience, then of course there is no problem!"
