Chapter 645: Helpless Compromise

"Mu, is your Demon Locking Tower a forbidden place?" Zhang Ziling asked Lan Mu directly, without caring what the old man's attitude was now.

He naturally knew that Lan Mu had immense trust in him, so Zhang Ziling naturally wouldn't be mean to Lan Mu.

Zhang Ziling and Lan Mu had been very familiar with each other for a while, and Zhang Ziling was not willing to hide anything from Lan Mu, a simple little girl.

There is a kind of girl in this world that makes people reluctant to hurt and deceive, and it is obvious that Lan Mu belongs to that kind.

"Well... the Demon Lock Tower should be considered a half-forbidden place." Lan Mu said directly without hiding anything from Zhang Ziling.

"Mu'er, how can you say these things to outsiders?" Seeing Lan Mu speak, the old man became anxious and said directly.

In the eyes of Lan Mu's disciples, the Demon Locking Pagoda was the place to guard the monsters, but she didn't know that there was a big secret hidden under the Demon Locking Pagoda, which must not be known to outsiders.

Especially for a strong man like Zhang Ziling, once the Demon Locking Pagoda was discovered, those secrets would naturally not escape Zhang Ziling's eyes. At that time... Shushan was at stake.

"Why?" Lan Mu looked at the old man suspiciously, "Ziling is not a bad person!"

"This, this..." The old man was speechless for a while, he couldn't directly say that Zhang Ziling's purpose was impure, and what he did would be harmful to Shushan, right?

The old man wasn't a fool either, so he could see that Lan Mu trusted Zhang Ziling so much now that his words had no meaning other than to make Lan Mu less favorable.

After all, he is only an old man in the mountains. He met Lan Mu when he was hanging out in the back mountain. After that, he fell in love with the innocent and kind Lan Mu. In addition, Lan Mu's celestial monster body was really amazing, so he couldn't help but give birth to a talent of love. Heart, only then accepted Lan Mu as a disciple and treated him like a granddaughter.

Lan Mu only recently took him as his teacher. Although he respected and loved him, the old man could clearly feel that Zhang Ziling had a higher status in Lan Mu's heart than him.

After thinking about it, the old man couldn't find a way to deal with the current situation, so he could only sigh, look at Zhang Ziling and say, "Can you tell me what is your real purpose in going to the Demon Lock Tower?"

"Just take two things." Zhang Ziling didn't hide it at all, "No malice."

"Is there really no other purpose?" the old man asked, staring at Zhang Ziling carefully.

"Why hide it?"

Zhang Ziling's words made the old man stagnate for a while.

It was as if something exploded in his head, and then the old man laughed again, "Hahaha! Why do you need to hide it! It seems that the old man is confused, and he didn't take it off."

The old man smiled and shook his head, secretly laughing that he had ignored the actual situation because he was too worried about the safety of Mount Shu.

If Zhang Ziling really wanted to seize the lock demon tower by force, there was no need to use so many means, and he would just use invincible means to level Shushan.

Two gods, Shushan simply can't wait for the reinforcements to come, and the old man is not even sure whether the existences recorded in the ancient books will come to rescue Shushan.

After figuring this out, the old man simply let go of his guard against Zhang Ziling. No matter what else, the strength of Zhang Ziling and Izanami was enough to make him unable to do any effective resistance.

What's more, the old man could see that the only person Zhang Ziling cared about was Lan Mu. Perhaps Shushan would have to rely on the relationship between Lan Mu and Zhang Ziling to get through some difficulties in the future.

"Forget it, Mu'er, just take Zhang Shaoxia around Shushan, Grandpa wants to go out." The old man no longer stopped Lan Mu. Anyway, Lan Mu also knew the location of the lock demon tower, so he didn't need to talk too much.

"Yeah!" Although Lan Mu didn't know why Grandpa's attitude suddenly changed so much, she didn't think much about it and nodded happily.

"Silly girl." The old man gave Lan Mu a doting look, his eyes were full of helplessness, and then he didn't say anything, and turned into a ray of light and rushed out of the wooden house.

Although the old man had nothing to do with Zhang Ziling, the one who should instruct Shushan still had to instruct him, otherwise, when something went wrong in the lock demon tower, at least there was still some preparation.

And the main reason was that the old man didn't want to stay beside Zhang Ziling and Izanami.

He is not like Lan Mu. He is always suppressed by Izanami and Zhang Ziling. If it wasn't for his strength, he would not be able to withstand this pressure.

Therefore, if you can leave earlier, leave earlier, the old man is not in the mood to act like a master now.

Seeing the old man leave in a hurry, Lan Mu was still a little dazed, but she didn't think much about it, after all, the impression the old man gave her was unpredictable, and every move had his own charm.

But Lan Mu would never have thought that the hidden powerhouse in his heart chose to leave because he couldn't bear the aura of Zhang Ziling and Izanami.

"By the way, Ziling, this is..." After the old man left, Lan Mu began to look at Izanami next to Zhang Ziling and asked.

"Her name is Izanami..."

After Zhang Ziling and Lan Mu briefly introduced Izanami's identity, at the same time, he explained his purpose of looking for the Demon Lock Tower, and he didn't hide anything about the matter of looking for the ghost gate.

After listening to Zhang Ziling's words, Lan Mu's face flashed a look of embarrassment, looked at Zhang Ziling and said, "Ziling, recently, Master and the others did suppress a magic weapon, but the magic weapon was sealed at the bottom of the lock demon tower, there I can't take you in."

"Then how can I get to the bottom?" Zhang Ziling asked softly, frowning slightly.

"With my authority, the monsters I usually catch can only be placed on the upper three floors. If I cultivate, I can go to the middle third floor, and then the master can take me to the first two floors of the lower three floors. As for the last floor, it is closed all the year round. , only the Master can open it." Lan Mu said to Zhang Ziling, "Because the demonic energy inside the lock demon tower is permeating, and staying for a long time is not good for people's health, so basically not many disciples are willing to practice in it. It's called a half-forbidden place."

"In other words, if you want to find the ghost gate, do you still have to find your master?" Zhang Ziling said.

"I'm not sure if the ghost gate you're talking about is in the Demon Locking Tower, but it might be difficult to meet the Master now." Lan Mu looked at Zhang Ziling and said, "Because the Ascension Conference is about to start, Master has always been I'm discussing something with the heads of the other four immortal sects, and the master doesn't have time to see me."

Speaking of this, Lan Mu's mood was a bit low, and it seemed that he was lost because he didn't help Zhang Ziling.

Lan Mu has always hoped to help Zhang Ziling or something, but he never found a chance. This time, he had a chance, but these problems occurred again.

If it was okay in normal times, as Lan Mu, he would naturally be able to see the head of Shushan easily. However, now at the Ascension Conference, Shushan is mixed, and all forces have come to Shushan, so the head of Shushan will naturally be very busy, even if it is As a direct disciple of Lan Mu, it is difficult to see the head of Shushan.

"Is that so..." Zhang Ziling pondered for a while, "Looks like I have to think of something else."
