WebNovel Chapter 1326 Equivalent Exchange?
Chapter 1326 Equivalent Exchange?
The upper floors of the castle are similar to the first floor, and they are all extremely dim.
If it wasn't for his excellent eyesight as a monk, he might not be able to see the surrounding environment clearly.
But now that they have a clear purpose, they will naturally not pay too much attention to the surrounding situation.
The most urgent thing is to meet the owner of this castle first.
With a glimmer of expectation, Chu Yang finally walked to the gate of the highest level of the castle with the two girls.
Different from other places, the top floor of the castle is extremely bright, as if it is not a world with other places.
What also made Chu Yang very concerned was that the lighting tools here were not ordinary torches, but something he was very familiar with - light bulbs.
Rao had guessed it before, but when he saw this thing, his pupils shrank slightly.
The signal tower, the modern city, plus the light bulbs here...
The answer is already very obvious.
There is no doubt that the lord of this city is also a time traveler like him.
Although he had seen many of them before, meeting the traverser again caused Chu Yang's mood to fluctuate a little.
Now he doesn't care so much about the traversers.
Anyway, there are so many traversers in the heavens and myriad realms, so it's not surprising to encounter them.
It's just that he still has a bit of a "citizen plot" after all. When he meets people on earth who may be the same as himself, he will have different feelings to some extent.
And the other party is not only concerned about the time traveler, what he cares most about is naturally that thought-provoking sentence.
The dark red gate in front of it is very simple, it looks like a medieval building.
It can be imagined that this is an ancient castle created by the traveler based on his own imagination.
After sighing in his heart, Chu Yang pushed open the door in front of him without hesitation.
Then, a "strange" scene appeared in his eyes...
.........
God is sorry, Chu Yang had expected something before he came to the top floor of the ancient castle and met the city lord.
After all, the other party is a majestic woman, as can be seen from the tone.
And he has always been very concerned about women, let alone his favorite sister Yu.
And with the other party's cultivation base, she is definitely very beautiful, which has always been the case in the monk world.
Of course, this is a land of ghosts, and the other party is also a ghost.
Judging from what he saw in the city, the appearance of the ghosts was a bit unflattering.
No matter how beautiful the facial features and body are, those eyes made of strange fire are enough to destroy everything.
But this made Chu Yang even more curious.
Does this city lord look as creepy as those ordinary ghosts, or has he changed his appearance and become a little more "mortal"?
However, what he never expected was that the city lord turned out to be such an image...
.........
"Welcome three."
It was still the majestic voice, but this time it increased the sense of distance a little.
It's just that after these four short words, the city lord didn't say anything more, but introduced himself politely:
"I am the Lord of Muyang City, so is Ying Ning."
It is also……
Hearing the other party's words that were neither modern nor ancient, Chu Yang felt so awkward that he almost felt embarrassing.
It's just that now he really doesn't have time to pay attention to these minutiae.
At this time, it was naturally the appearance of the other party that attracted all his attention.
Contrary to what he had expected before, Ying Ning was not the so-called Yujie, but a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old.
With her long hair in twin ponytails, her delicate face and small body, she is extremely cute.
It's like a very delicate doll.
Ying Ning's body does not have any ghost characteristics at all, and even his breath has nothing to do with ghosts.
The body is not translucent, but also has a pair of watery eyes.
No matter how you look at it, you are completely human.
After discovering this, Chu Yang couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Ying Ning is clearly an unmistakable human being, and he will never be wrong.
If the appearance can still be changed by the Lord of Change, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the breath on the body.
He didn't think the other party's disguise was so perfect that even he could confuse him.
Not to mention the extremely difficult thing of changing the breath.
Why do humans appear in the land of ghosts and become the lord of this city?
Chu Yang was full of doubts and couldn't figure it out for a while.
As for why the little girl Ying Ning made that very mature voice, he soon figured it out.
Just as the other party forcibly pulled out that kind of polite words, that kind of voice was obviously faked.
It's much easier to disguise in this respect.
It's no wonder that he thought the other party's voice was a little weird before.
Ying Ning probably thinks that she is very mature by doing so, just like some children think.
Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but look at the two women, and then said:
"Chu Yang, Mu Ning, Xiaoyue."
He briefly introduced himself and his two daughters to Ying Ning.
Since the other party thinks that speaking briefly is a sign of maturity, he doesn't mind cooperating.
Even though Ying Ning was different from the Yu Jie he had expected, he was only slightly disappointed, and soon returned to his usual mood.
After all, these things are just minor details, the most important thing is why the other party can see that they are very unusual.
Of course, there is also the matter of the traverser and why Ying Ning, as a human being, appeared in the land of ghosts.
These things were what Chu Yang was most concerned about.
But there must be some pleasantries, at least to get to know each other first.
"What is the purpose of you three humans coming to this ghost land? If you want to do something bad, I have to stop it."
Ying Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and she still spoke in her mature voice.
She may feel that there is no need to speak so politely now, but her way of speaking has returned to normal.
Hearing this, Chu Yang was a little surprised for a moment.
He didn't expect Ying Ning to get right to the point and ask such a sharp question.
What's more unexpected is that the other party actually revealed their identities in one word.
"Why can she see it? It's obvious that the disguise I made for you is so perfect."
Baiyin, who was watching the whole process as an audience, was also very puzzled.
Even she didn't understand why, so Chu Yang naturally didn't know why either.
He had already found out Ying Ning's cultivation level from the very beginning, and it was only at the peak of the Immortal Realm.
This level of cultivation might be regarded as top-notch in this area, but it is not enough compared to him.
Let alone in front of Baiyin, the lord of the cave.
However, such a cultivator who is only at the peak of the extremely fairyland can see that they are human beings at once, which is really unimaginable.
One must know that this was a disguise specially made by Baiyin for them, even Chu Yang himself couldn't find any flaws in it.
Unexpectedly, Ying Ning could see through their disguise.
And looking at it like this, it is estimated that they had already discovered it as soon as they entered the city.
Such a fact is really hard for Chu Yang to understand, so he can only frown in puzzlement and say:
"Why did the city lord say that we are human?"
"You don't have to pretend in front of me."
Ying Ning shook her head slightly, and her ponytails also swayed a few times.
"Since I appear in front of the three of you as a human being, naturally there is no malice. I just want to ask you about the situation in the human world."
It seems that they are really not testing them...
Seeing her speak so frankly, Chu Yang knew that the disguise between him and the two women had indeed been seen through by the other party.
He, Mu Ning, and Xiaoyue looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
He really couldn't accept this, so he continued to ask:
"How do you know we're human?"
"It's okay to tell you."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ying Ning's face, and his eyes scanned the three of them.
"But I like equivalent exchange, what can you exchange?"
Chu Yang could guess that the other party would use this to make some demands, so he was not very surprised, but shook his head and smiled:
"Unfortunately, I don't like equivalent exchange."
Seeing Ying Ning frowning, he continued:
"Since you can make signal towers and light bulbs, and you have a certain understanding of architecture, you should have been at least a high school student or even a college student in your previous life. I didn't expect you to be so childish now, and you deliberately pretend to be mature."
"..."
As he talked more and more, Ying Ning's eyes became wider and wider, and finally his whole body froze, as if he had become a statue.
Although Mu Ning and Xiaoyue couldn't understand what his words meant and what the various unfamiliar words in them meant, they knew that these words were very effective when they saw Ying Ning's reaction.
So they all cast admiring glances at Chu Yang.
After seeing Ying Ning's reaction like this, Chu Yang knew that his previous guess was correct.
Thinking about it, it is too obvious that there is no other possibility other than the "time traveler".
Although a few words caused a critical blow to Ying Ning, he was not in a hurry at all, and just quietly looked at the little girl whose whole body had been frozen.
Time passed in silence, and no one spoke.
They seemed to be waiting for Ying Ning, the righteous master, to make the next move.
It's just that the waiting time is still somewhat long, and it's obvious that she has been greatly shocked in her heart.
"...Could it be that you too..."
After a long silence, Ying Ning finally spoke the first sentence.
At this time, she was completely unable to continue to pretend that mature voice, and finally revealed her original crisp and sweet little girl's voice.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Chu Yang laughed and interrupted what Ying Ning was about to say.
"Actually, I just casually pulled something of unknown meaning. I didn't expect your reaction to be so strong—do you believe it?"
