Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 36 Where is Lily

After returning to the sect that day, Zhang Ze first met with the Pavilion Master in the name of Lao Wang, and then took Chen Qin to find Lily and Mei'er.

Mei'er was easy to find. She was reading a book in her boudoir. Her face was rosy and she looked very happy.

But Liu Lili was missing.

There was no sign of Liu Lili at the outer gate, and she had not been to the workshop in the past few days.

Zhang Ze went to her residence and looked around, and found that Liu Lili's money was still hidden in the compartment under her bed.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the money is there, Lily should be there.

Since she didn't run away with the money, Lily should still be within Jiange.

It's not that she's dead. Five minutes later, Zhang Ze opened the system interface to check and found that Lily's big face was still bright and not gray.

Zhang Ze stepped over a broken log with the land in his hand.

Mei'er, Chen Qin and others were looking for Lily elsewhere in Jiange at this time, and Zhang Ze was the only one in Tianqu Valley.

"Lily? Squeak! You're not dead!"

No one responded.

"There's indeed something wrong with this world's cultivation system," Zhang Ze muttered.

The four continents lack methods and techniques for cultivating the soul and illusion.

[Spirit Recognition Technique] is indeed a different approach, but it only injects knowledge and information unilaterally. It is impossible to reversely refine and extract it.

There is no record of this in the exchange system for the advanced skills of the major sects.

The soul-searching and spirit-stealing described in the novels of the previous life, refined the memory in an instant.

No one in the four continents can do it.

Even Zhengyi couldn't do it.

If one wants to create an illusion, they can only rely on ancient evil artifacts such as the Spirit Snake Statue, which are rare in the world, and the illusion created also has many flaws.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome to catch the demon.

The righteous masters would just fly out for a stroll every day and catch them all with a sweep of their spiritual sense.

Zhang Ze had discussed this matter with his master and even the head of Zhengyi Pavilion, but what the two old men said was too mysterious. Zhang Ze's cultivation was not high enough and he could not understand a word.

To sum it up, the Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. If you don’t know it now, you don’t know it. When you know it, you will know it.

"I should have given Lily a sound transmission jade earlier." Zhang Ze muttered.

"But don't I have too many sound transmission jades on me?" He looked down at the row of jade pendants hanging around his waist.

Except for the one that Song Qingpao had, which he hid away, he hung the rest of the sound-transmitting jade pendants of Chen Qin, Sister Mei'er, Lin Feng, Qiao Lezhi and others on his waist, and they jingled when he walked.

"Sound transmission?" Looking at this string of jade pendants, Zhang Ze suddenly had an idea.

The principle of the sound transmission jade is very simple. A piece of sound transmission stone is split into two and two magic arrays of yin and yang are engraved on them.

The magic circle resonates, so that the two sound transmission jades can transmit sound to each other without being eavesdropped by a third sound transmission jade.

The logic of listening to the territory is somewhat similar to that of the sound transmission jade.

The premise is that Lily's imagination can match his.

Everyone's spiritual awareness is slightly different. In order to reduce the cost of listening to the territory, Liu Lili did not customize it for each buyer like a weapon refiner.

Instead, an adjustable magic circle was set up using a combination of mechanisms.

This magic array can be adjusted to match the user's consciousness, achieving accurate reception within a certain range, just like a sound transmission jade.

Because the original trial employees of Tingdipan were Zhang Ze, Chen Qin and Lily.

So Zhang Ze knew the magic circle that matched Liu Lili's spiritual consciousness.

If Lily was continuously releasing information like a telegraph at this moment, and was not far away, it would be possible to find her by eavesdropping.

Zhang Ze turned the mechanism on the listening platform and adjusted it to Lily mode.

Zhang Ze held his hands high and waited for a long time.

Oh, no response.

I don't know if it was because they were too far away or Lily's imagination didn't match Zhang Ze's, but in any case, there was no reaction. Although there was no tacit understanding at all, there was still drama.

The ball that had been offline for a long time came out.

Maybe it was because Zhang Ze raised his palm too high just now, and the ball rolled out of Zhang Ze's pocket.

After falling to the ground, the ball bounced a few times and seemed to wake up. It began to jump and circle around Zhang Ze again.

Until the ball jumped onto the ground.

I heard the black iron sand on the ground moving.

[Boss, save me]

【Die or Die】

[Help, help, help]

Zhang Ze took the ball away from the listening area and the words disappeared.

Put it on the listening area again and the words will reappear.

Although I don’t know the principle, I can go back and do more research. Now the most important thing is to save Lily.

However, exploring and finding people is a skill, but Zhang Ze is obviously not proficient in it.

Zhang Ze followed Lily's distress signal all the way down to the valley. The piles of fallen leaves in the valley gave off a musty smell. Zhang Ze didn't know if it was an illusion, but he smelled the scent of the sea.

Zhang Ze recalled Grandpa Wang’s historical story.

It is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the entire Dongzhou was a vast ocean.

After the great war between gods and demons in ancient times, the earth veins here were cut off, the sea energy disappeared, and the sea turned into land.

In ancient times, Tianqu Valley was the place where sea-devouring gods and demons returned to their nest.

Zhang Ze felt that the fact that Dongzhou was once the sea should be true, but the story of gods and demons returning home was probably false.

Because Zhang Ze has found three versions of the story about Tianqu Valley in the library.

They are the theory that gods and demons return to their nests and lay eggs, the theory that the god of fire rides on the god of water, and the theory that monsters drink the sea dry.

Elder Wang is now working on polishing the fourth version.

While recalling the specific content of the fourth version, Zhang Ze fell into a ditch.

Zhang Ze stepped on empty air and the fallen leaves sank deep into his feet, leaving a big hole.

The edge of the hole was smooth and moist, as if it was covered with some sticky liquid, leaving no place to gain leverage.

Moreover, there seemed to be some kind of restriction in this cave, and the skill of leaping lightly on the ground like the wind could not be performed.

Zhang Ze drew his sword and stabbed it towards the right wall of the cave, but it hit nothing. A huge force in the darkness grabbed the sword. Zhang Ze was not prepared for the sword to slip out of his hand, and he finally fell to the bottom.

"Good morning, boss."

Lily's voice came from the darkness.

"Call me senior brother." Zhang Ze wanted to get up, but he felt that he had nowhere to gain support. There was only some soft thing like mycelium around him.

"I'm not a disciple of Jian Ge, why would I call you Senior Brother?" Lily said in a powerful voice, "Boss, are you here to rescue me, or to accompany me to the west?"

"To save you, but where is this place?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Who knows? This is the territory of your Seventh Sword Pavilion. How would I know if you ask me?"

"What is this sticky stuff?" Zhang Ze felt his hands numb, obviously because of the soft things around him.

"Boss, you'd better stay away from these things. They will eat people. I..."

Zhang Ze was shocked and couldn't help but recall the various bizarre comics and many strange abstract works he had read in his previous life.

Taking out a night-shining pearl from his treasure bag, Zhang Ze shone it in the direction of Lily's voice.

However, I didn't see any bizarre or 18+ scenes.

The place where Lily was was covered with mycelium, and a giant metal cocoon protected Lily inside. Through the gap in the cocoon, Zhang Ze saw Lily sitting inside and chewing a dry steamed bun.

"Want to eat, Boss?"
