Chapter 143 Zou Wu? Zou Yu!

Lin An did not leave the company in a hurry.

Everything must be planned before taking action. Being decisive does not mean being impulsive.

He told himself to calm down. Now that the first draft of the 'Portrait of Gray and Blue Hair' had been handed over to his subordinates, he had nothing to do for a while.

Sitting silently on the office chair, he frowned and looked at the open space in the middle of the office.

Usually, that's where Lao Liu's spiritual gray wolf emerges.

He hasn't appeared in the past few days.

Lin An somewhat guessed that only he and Lu Tingyu knew about the "Heart to Heart Incense Witchcraft" that Brother Da Zhuang said. If he hadn't told it, Lu Tingyu would never have told outsiders.

But Lin An knew that Lu Tingyu had told Lao Liu.

It was through Lao Liu that I learned about this witchcraft.

As for why Chen Xinmi also knew, he had to remember that he told Chen Xinmi that it was Lao Liu who betrayed their sisters and led people to attack the yoga studio.

Chen Xin was fascinated by Lao Liu, and then learned about such a witchcraft from him, and then found the headquarters of the Witch Hunting Knights?

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin An's eyes suddenly lit up.

If Chen Xin fans knew...

He could ask Black Cat about it, whether it was the Heart-to-Heart Chuanchuan Incense witchcraft or Lao Liu's situation.

At the same time, he can also use it as a reference - Old Liu is the cousin of Chen Xin who is obsessed with him, and he also works as an undercover agent for the Witch Hunting Knights and Wizard Organization for the wizard organization. Old Liu has some little ideas of his own...

Lao Liu looked so much like him.

He wanted to know what Lao Liu was about to face in order to figure out what kind of encounter he would face in the future.

The little boss is right, the extraordinary world is a combination of great power. Don't look at any organization or camp, but look at the strong man's own style and attitude.

At this point, the little boss has far more knowledge than most people in the extraordinary world.

Lin An always listened to advice and had already set his sights on Chen Xinmi, a powerful wizard.

He must be patient enough to watch what is coming in order to find a way to survive for himself.

"Hey~"

Thinking of this, layers of pressure piled up, but Lin An smiled relaxedly with a full expression.

Licking his lips, he felt inexplicably excited about walking between the two major forces, between life and death.

It stimulated the life deep in his heart to become more and more vigorous and full of vitality.

This mentality...

It's a bit dangerous.

Lin An reflected for a second, shook his head with a smile, and turned his attention to the screen in front of him again.

He thought for a while and simply opened the webpage to search for content about the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The transformation witchcraft that Chen Shuyun performed for him is said to belong to the category of "legendary witchcraft", which means that it is based on some popular legendary images that have been circulated to transform into this image, in order to leverage this possible collective in the spiritual world. The power of a world where consciousness converges.

So, it should be easy to find out that he transformed into an animal that resembles a snow leopard.

In fact, it’s really simple. Just enter the keywords ‘Shan Hai Jing Snow Leopard’ and an animal named ‘Zou Wu’ appears on the page.

"???"

Lin An was stunned for a moment because the picture that appeared on the search results page looked nothing like his transformed snow leopard.

The head is indeed a 'head', but the body is like a tawny tiger, and the tail is not as long as the body. The long pink part looks like many layers of overlapping fins, and it also has eagle claws.

After checking it carefully for a while, I suddenly realized it.

"A foreigner's movie?"

He shook his head and continued to search for information. Only then did he realize that not only was the image wrong, but the name was also wrong.

‘Wu’ is the same as ‘Yu’, so although this animal is written as ‘Zouwu’, its pronunciation should be ‘Zouyu’. In many versions of The Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is written directly as Zuyu.

"The Book of Mountains and Seas" Volume 12 "Hai Nei Bei Jing": "The Lin family has a rare beast, as big as a tiger, with colorful features and a tail longer than the body. It is called Zouyu, and it can travel thousands of miles in a day."

"Huainanzi": "The white tiger is black and benevolent. It eats the beast that dies by itself. It travels thousands of miles in a day."

…

After checking the information one by one, Lin An was sure that this was the monster he transformed into.

Black and white stripes, colorful.

As big as a tiger, but with black stripes on a white background.

Modern people have some good intentions and believe that the Zoyu in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the snow leopard.

The snow leopard is a very special species of leopard, with a thick and strong tail that is as long as its body.

Then this creature likes to walk on fixed routes along rocky cliffs and streams to look for food, similar to how it doesn’t like to trample on flowers, plants and trees in the story.

They like to stay up all day and come out at night, and bury food in a natural refrigerator like the snow, and then take it out to eat when food is in short supply. This is similar to the saying in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that "you are born with benevolence and do not eat raw animals."

Lin An didn't know if it was far-fetched.

But he was keenly aware of the characteristics of creatures like Shanhaijing - benevolent beasts.

This is an extremely important basis for him to draw spiritual portraits.

"Traveling a thousand miles in a day..." Lin An looked carefully at the content on the webpage, and then thought about the teleportation ability that appeared after his transformation, and clicked his tongue.

Yes, he did not become Zoyu, but transformed into a transformation witchcraft developed by the wizard based on the myth and legend of Zoyu.

I carefully checked all the information I could find, and simply found a few documentary videos of snow leopards, which confirmed all the observed details of Zou Yu's transformation, and I became more and more confident.

Lin An closed the web page, exited the jump network computer, cleaned up every trace of the query, and then leaned back on the office chair, mobilizing his spirituality to think about every detail of the next drawing.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of something that was horrifying to think about.

If "legendary witchcraft" is based on the image of legend to leverage the subconscious image of every living being in the spiritual world, then the word "Zouwu" in the movie "Foreigner", which has the wrong pronunciation and image, is simply adding to the confusion.

Was it intentional or accidental?

But after all, this is not something that a novice wizard at his level should think about, and he can't control it even if he wants to.

The thought passed away in a flash.

When I got off work at noon, I took the little boss's car to the slaughterhouse, and had the Witch Hunter Knights' lunch mixed with stone treasures and rich in magic. In the afternoon, I was busy dismembering lichs.

In the evening, Lin An took Master Fan's green tea and a water basin and came to the "Crazy Wizard's Tree Hole" organization.

This is the only place Lin An can think of to safely cast spells.

Nowadays, the world of red light purgatory still covers the entire city, and all wizards are hiding, not even daring to use their innate witchcraft that is difficult to detect.

However, the wizards in the Shudong organization sometimes have conflicts due to overly suppressed emotions, and they perform witchcraft one after another.

The witch-hunting knights active in the purgatory world cannot be found here.

No one knows where the tree hole is, but it is still the best haven for the wizards in Shenhou City.

Shudong Mall provides almost everything needed for life.

With the cash prepared in advance, Lin An opened a room in the 'hotel' on the top floor of the mall.

After filling up the prepared ink and carefully checking a few spare brushes, Lin An held the specially brought ugly head in one hand and quickly looked towards a unique dimension.

The gap between the real world and the spiritual world.

Here, he could intuitively see his gray and dim self, which seemed to have grown bigger again.

The body is densely covered with dark golden lines.

There are particularly many lines on one pair of ears, which seems to be due to him devouring Lao Liu's spiritual gray wolf ears.

Of course, there are also places that are pure dark gold, a pair of eyes that are like those of an ugly head, and a pair of hands that I have cultivated myself.

The right hand holds a paintbrush, and the left hand holds a picture frame. In the picture frame, there is a person by the bridge, and the picture is distorted.

This represents two witchcrafts, 'Spiritual Drawing' and 'Oil Painting Vortex Vision'.

There are three things floating around this body, namely the 'spiritual round platform', the 'image screen wall' and the 'spiritual dinner plate'.

"what should I do?"

Lin An in the real world asked doubtfully.

The head shook his head in his hand, "I don't know, you don't understand and I don't understand either."

Then it can only be based on intuition, which is also extended through the prediction ability of the brain.

He slowly approached the gray and dark self, feeling that the body was giving birth to the dark golden statue. He took a deep breath, turned around, imitated the body's movements of raising his hands, and slowly backed away.

Snap~

He felt his whole body shake, and there was a strange feeling of fusion.

When he opened his eyes again, he could already control this body.

First, he needs to mobilize spiritual aid.

Thinking like this, he naturally opened his mouth, and gray-white tentacles stretched out from his mouth, sweeping towards the 'spiritual dinner plate' floating not far away.

Chen Xinmi, Chen Shuyun, Zhou Xiaoxiao, Zheng Miao... absorbed the remaining spiritual energy of these people and did not move.

The spirituality of the 'Rabbit Mask Wizard' and 'Da Susu' has also been exhausted by observing every detail of the 'Zouyu' monster.

The gray-white tentacles couldn't find any 'food' on the 'spiritual dinner plate', so they swept towards the 'spiritual round platform' next to it.

There are only two spiritual circles, one is a black cat, and the other is an ugly head wearing a white wizard robe.

The tentacles quickly swept away, submerged under the hood of the white wizard robe, and wrapped around the ugly head inside.

Next, he needs to draw a spiritual portrait.

With a thought in his heart, the small picture frame in his hand suddenly floated up, appeared in mid-air, and became as big as a wall.

Lin An stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the portrait of "Wailing and Twisting by the Bridge" in the frame suddenly disappeared and appeared on the "Portrait Screen Wall" surrounding it.

However, the original "green-skinned portrait" on the "portrait screen wall" appears in the frame in front of him.

Lin An no longer knew how many times he had reviewed the portrait he wanted to draw. At this moment, there was no hesitation at all. He gently raised his dark golden right hand, and a stream of ink suddenly appeared on the tip of the brush in his hand.

In the real world, on the table in front of Lin An, the bottle of ink quietly disappeared.

Lin An had no time to care about this.

His eyes were blurred, as if he had fallen into an interesting state, and he just gently stroked his pen to draw a detailed outline on the canvas that was the 'Green Skin Portrait'.
