Start From Cultivation University

Everyone in the car leaned forward, and the already nervous executives spit out a few words of national essence secretly, poked their heads out in the front row and asked, "What's the matter, what is this?"

"There seems to be a car accident ahead, and it's blocked." Yue Kun, who was in the driver's seat, honked the horn twice, opened the window and looked out helplessly, just in time to see a few policemen passing by the side of the car with a red-faced man on his back. It seems to be sent for processing.

"Come, come, let us be happy today, let's do some more..." The man who was being held up was still dancing, with a drunken smile on his face, "It's a big holiday, come and fight with us for another three hundred rounds ..."

He jumped and yelled as if there was no one else around, and the policemen on both sides escorted him helplessly, and happened to pass by the car. Seeing this, the executive in the car poked his head out of the window and asked the policeman who was holding him, "Did you run into it with a drunk driver?"

"It stands to reason that it should be..." the policeman sighed, "but he was asked to blow the breathalyzer just now, and the indicators are all within the normal range... In this case, we can't take people back to the police station, so we can only wait The Traffic Management Bureau came to deal with it."

"Normal?" The executive frowned, pointing to the drunken smile, "This kind of behavior...isn't it excessive alcohol?"

"We have changed several detectors, and they all show normal, so we can't determine that he is drunk driving." The policeman spread his hands.

"Then we have to deal with it first. Is it okay to be blocked?"

"Have you been tested for drug reactions?"

"What did your companion say?"

"..."

The group of people in the car was at a time when they were nervous, and when they encountered such an incident, they all chattered away. And amidst the chirping, Han Jiangchen in the back row also opened the window, his eyes locked on the man held up by the police, his pupils shrunk.

At this time, this person was only a few meters away from him, so he "saw" a strange aura from that person.

The breath was vague, but it felt very familiar to him... He secretly released his consciousness, locked on that person, felt it carefully and recalled it, and then his eyes suddenly changed.

That's right, he had indeed come into contact with a similar breath before. The person with a similar performance is... Shangguan Yu Ning!

During the school semester, he met Shangguan Yuning almost every day, and he was very familiar with the teacher's display of spiritual power—in the vast and pure sword fairy aura, he could always see a trace of it. Subtle exception.

According to Shangguan Yu Ning, it was the curse left by the demon king Guiche. This is also one of the direct reasons why that teacher taught him swordsmanship.

But now, a similar aura appeared in the civilians who were a city away. Although it was very subtle, he could still see it at a glance.

Han Jiangchen immediately opened the window, and asked the policeman with his head, "Where did this man come from?"

"I asked just now. He said he just came back from eating at Wanda Plaza, but he was so drunk, I don't know if it's true." The policeman shook his head, "The people in his car are all in the same situation. Nothing comes out."

Wanda Plaza...

Han Jiangchen withdrew his body, turned to the team leaders in the front row and said, "It's best to search that square."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the people in the car immediately turned around: "Does this have something to do with the spiritual power reaction?"

Han Jiangchen responded, "It's very likely."

One word made the expressions of everyone in the car serious. The executives looked at each other in blank dismay, while the team leader, Yue Kun, looked sullen, as if in deep thought.

"How did you find out?" Yue Kun asked.

"It can be seen." Han Jiangchen said.

"I'm asking what you think."

"Just to watch..."

"...."

Repeat similar conversations two or three times,

He didn't explain the matter clearly, which made Yue Kun's face twist. Looking at the expressions of the people around him who didn't know why, the team leader finally coughed and made a decisive decision.

"Wanda Plaza...seems to be out of our search range." He pondered, "But since the student from Kunlun said it, it should have some reference. So let's do it, since he has the means to detect it , then he will be in charge of this area temporarily, bring a radio, and contact us at any time if you have any questions. The others will continue to carry out the spirit detection mission according to the previously agreed plan."

The task has been assigned before, and it is indeed difficult to transfer posts at this time. It is the greatest trust to let an intern move freely.

The team leader spoke, and the rest agreed. Seeing that the road conditions of the car accident would not improve for a while, the executives got out of the car and dispersed with their equipment.

Han Jiangchen also got out of the car with his spirit sword on his back, and touched his pocket one last time before leaving.

Unlike the executors, except for this spiritual sword from Shangguan's residence, all he brought was equipment made by the school.

Before the winter vacation, Wei Ze made statistics on all the students who participated in the combat practice, and distributed several defensive charms made by the equipment department to each student, and a spirit storage charm made by himself.

——No one knows what is stored in that talisman, but for all students, it is like a talisman. With this thing, they have the capital to try risks.

After checking the equipment one by one, Han Jiangchen made sure that they were correct, and then he carried his sword and walked towards the target place, Wanda Square. Along the way, he passed by countless festive people, and his shadow was reflected in the occasional fireworks in the sky. Light and dark handover.

He grew up in this city, and his old home was near this area, so he didn't need a map or navigation at all, and he found the brightly lit Wanda Plaza according to his memory.

In this underdeveloped urban area, this is one of the largest shopping areas in the neighborhood. It's New Year's Eve, and many people come here for a family dinner, so there is a lot of traffic. Standing under the huge electric lantern in the central square, he squinted his eyes and looked up into the sky. In his eyes, the shadowless and invisible fluctuations merged into a wind and cloud, and at this moment the wind and cloud were rolling up, like some kind of shocking ripples.

He put his hand into his pocket, and the spirit-seeking talisman inside was trembling, hot to the touch.

The conditions for the report should be met.

He turned on the radio: "Wanda Square does have a spiritual response, very strong."

"Received." Yue Kun responded quickly from the channel, "You go in and find out the situation first, and we will go to support soon."

"it is good."

The commander of Yuncheng actually let him act alone, he really trusted the Kunlun students.

But in fact, he didn't need to say it, Han Jiangchen would do it. After all, there are still many mortals in this mall, and his orders do not allow him to stand idly by this potential risk.

After thinking for a while, he took off his coat and put it on the outside, pulled up the hood, covered the scabbard of the spirit sword behind him, and then restrained his spiritual power to conceal his breath. Then he quietly swam into this place like a silent fish. In a lively shopping plaza.

The shopping mall is still a bustling scene during the prime time, with congratulatory New Year's songs playing from the loudspeakers, and crowds of people shuttling between the counters and shops, all smiling, just like it should be on New Year's Eve.

"Haha, good! Happy New Year!"

"Let's all have a happy new year..."

There are voices saying happy New Year to each other everywhere, and the greetings reveal the warmth unique to small cities. He looked around at the people in the shopping mall, and found no similar aura as before.

If it wasn't for the trembling talisman in his pocket, all of this would have seemed so normal.

With his current high-level cultivation of Qi refining, he can only feel the strange spiritual power pervading here, and he cannot directly lock the source of spiritual power like a foundation builder. But it stands to reason that if the source of this spiritual power is really in this shopping mall, it should not be able to escape his eyes.

Where?

He walked around the first floor according to the guidance of the spirit detection talisman, but he didn't see anything worth noting. So he could only walk to the escalator, and was about to go up to the second floor to have a look, but suddenly there was a sound of playfulness beside him.

"Did you enjoy your shopping today?"

"Happy! Come again tomorrow!"

"Oh my little princess, this is too embarrassing for Dad..."

As soon as Han Jiangchen turned around, he bumped head-on into a family of four coming from the corridor: the leader was a man holding a little girl in his arms, and the girl was licking a sugar painting with the word "Fu" in her hand; beside them, a man wearing a big red jacket The woman on the other hand was leading an older boy, playing with paper lanterns that were always electric.

After he became sensible, he seldom interacted with his parents, and the number of times he met was only a handful, but he still recognized this family at a glance—or rather, he recognized the man who looked like him at the top.

When his parents divorced, he was sentenced to be raised by this man, but in fact he seldom returned to his old home here after he went to school, and the time they spent together was only a handful. Before, he only knew that the man gave birth to a son after remarriage, but he didn't know that he had a daughter after that.

It seems that they just finished shopping in the shopping mall and had a fun day. The whole family was full of red faces, but the moment they saw him, the excitement was wiped out as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.

Both parties froze in place, staring at each other in the silent air, as if an invisible wall separated them from the lively scene around them.

"You..." The woman was stunned for a few seconds before forcing a smile on her face and saying to him, "Oh, it's Jiang Chen? Happy Chinese New Year."

She knew that her husband once gave birth to a fool who was possessed by an evil spirit. When she got married, the man promised her not to have too much contact with him, so she reluctantly agreed.

Over the years, she occasionally came to the door several times, and she held her nose and endured it. Who knew that when the New Year's Eve came to the mall for a meal, she suddenly ran into this catastrophe.

The little girl who was being held by the man on the shoulder was not sensible. When she saw Han Jiangchen standing there, she smirked and stretched out a small fleshy hand towards him. The woman quickly pressed it down and stared angrily at him. next to the man.

The man was obviously also quite embarrassed. He stood there, his face turning pale for a while, before he said, "Why did you come here? Didn't you say anything in advance, what's the matter?"

Han Jiangchen looked at his expression and hesitated for a moment: "There is something wrong."

"What's the matter? You're out of money again?" The man frowned, "Didn't I just call you a while ago? How can middle school students spend so much money, so why come here?"

"I'm already in college."

"Ah? Oh... yes, I remembered, it's time for college." The man suddenly realized, "Which school did you go to? Undergraduate or junior college?"

Han Jiangchen was about to answer, but the patience of the little boy with the lantern next to him had reached its limit, and he pouted and grabbed the man's skirt and yelled, "Dad, don't talk! Hurry up and go home and prepare to fire the cannon! I'm going to kick my ass!"

"Hey, okay, let's go back right away..." The man touched his head helplessly, and then said to Han Jiangchen, "Okay, I understand, the cost of living in college is high, just tell me how much you want this time. Today It's a big holiday, have you eaten yet?"

Han Jiangchen was silent for a moment: "Don't eat. I still have a task, so I have to go now."

"Oh, that's it, then you go quickly." The woman next to her felt amnesty when she heard this, "We are going home too, so I won't delay you, you should work hard."

"…it is good."

The family of four passed him and walked straight towards the exit of the supermarket, as if they were running away.

Han Jiangchen stood where he was, watching them disappear at the door. The lanterns hanging by the gate cast festive red lights, and the backs of the family were shrouded in warm light.

In fact, he suddenly wanted to say something just now... a very simple thing, and he can finish it in a few words: He is now a cultivator and a student of Kunlun University. For this reason, he was about to perform a very dangerous mission. If he really died in the battle with the demon in the future, he would like to ask someone to help him bury the jade pendant in the soil.

But he didn't know how to speak.

The mall was still playing lively festive music, crowds of people came and went around him, laughing and passing him by. He stood stiffly for a long time before turning around and walking towards the elevator entrance, going upstairs to check the situation on the second floor, but the laughter in his ear was getting louder and louder, and even the music was a bit harsh.

"Congratulations, Congratulations, Happy New Year... Singing and laughing happily... Congratulations, Congratulations, Happy New Year... What a wonderful world..."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I wish you all a Happy New Year..."

He stopped suddenly and looked up in the direction where the man's family was leaving. Just like before, all the people in the mall were smiling, and their faces were beaming under the lights, and the smiles seemed to stick to their faces.

"Haha, good! Happy New Year!"

"Let's all have a happy new year..."

They walked around the mall, greeted each other with a smile, said the same words as before, and looked extremely excited, as if they were immersed in a sweet dream.

Han Jiangchen's heart tightened suddenly, and he suddenly realized one thing: Since he came in, except for the man's family just now... no one has left the shopping mall!

It stands to reason that this mall closes early on holidays, around eight or nine o'clock, and it should have been past meal time when he came in... He looked around and found an electronic clock in the corner of the counter area, and then Then found the second thing.

The clocks in the mall stopped.

Not just the electronic clock, but every clock that could be found in the area...all stopped at half past seven.
