Chapter 493 The passing of the mind

Chapter 493 The passing of the mind

Zhang Jie didn't lie. The power hidden in this world is not very powerful.

When the Zhongzhou team went north to Qinghua County, which is where the cursed inn leading to the portal to the underworld is located near the burial place of the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian at the end of the first part, their whereabouts slightly fell Zhu Wen, who was a little behind, stared at the vast battlefield that would soon be washed by power.

She was given responsibilities.

"Zhu Wen, go and divine the whereabouts of Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi... Well, I have found them. Then you can go and see where the Qi Refiner Zhiqiu Yiye is."

Zhan Lan said this.

Because the gap between the first and second parts of A Chinese Ghost Story is very short. After Ning Caichen buried Nie Xiaoqian's ashes, he should be arrested and imprisoned in no more than a month. After that, he will not be detained in prison for more than half a year. The father of the two heroines, Fu Tianchou, Minister of War, was dismissed from office during this period and was escorted to the capital. And completed the first meeting of the protagonist group in an abandoned village called Zhengqi Villa.

The timeline is very tight, and the plot variables are not here.

Of course, Zhan Lan's mental power quickly scanned the bureaucrats in the capital, read their memories, and followed the clues to find Fu Tianchou, who had been arrested and imprisoned, but had not had time to be sent to the capital. And his two daughters, who were eager to save their father, naturally soon fell into Zhan Lan's eyes.

very smooth.

Zhan Lan's mental power wave swept across the capital unscrupulously, looking at all the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty who were still alive, as well as the Pudu Cihang Imperial Master who had not yet taken off his painted skin, from head to toe, and it did not cause any changes. . Because theoretically speaking, it is impossible to perceive the mental fluctuations of a person with mental power who has not reached the fourth level...or at least has his own spiritual light.

This theory has not yet been proven false.

There is still a long way to go before the Central Continent team arrives at the inn. They do not jump directly in space or fly at supersonic speeds with great fanfare in order to avoid causing some unknown unexpected variables. Although for now, There is no trace of these variables even existing.

"Okay." Zhu Wen nodded. She shared Zhan Lan's scan results. She even knew that several of Pudu Cihang's personal guardians had been successfully hacked by Zhan Lan's mental fluctuations and planted secret hands. As long as the time was right or the needs were met, Zhan Lan would be there at any time. You can turn them into assassination knives in your hands, or consume them directly as disposable psychic bombs.

It's terrible.

Zhan Lan, who is possessed by obsession, unreasonable and unethical, is really scary.

Zhu Wen didn't want to have a conflict of opinion with her at this time, but quietly opened the other eye inside her silently.

The power of the gods, the eye that sees destiny.

Some faint feeling echoed deep inside. It was as if a strange switch had been turned on, and the strange feeling disappeared in an instant.

illusion?

perhaps. She didn't think much about it.

This not-so-vast world soon revealed all its secrets to her eyes. She saw the vast world of mortals rolling and surging, and the tide of human destiny turning into a majestic and huge whirlpool. The peaceful and prosperous age was being covered by darkness and cruelty, and several particularly prominent fortunes were clearly revealed in front of her.

She saw the dynasty's destiny dragon, weak and decadent, curled up on the northern capital, occasionally letting out one or two long groans of pain. And a golden flying centipede is attached to the dragon's spine, tearing open the flesh and blood, sucking the essence inside and shaking with satisfaction.

That was indeed a very powerful centipede.

In terms of luck alone, its share is almost equal to that of the current Zhongzhou team. One-on-one, Cheng Xiao would be 90% unable to defeat it. But if it were Zhan Lan who was wearing the Supreme Lord of the Rings... well, pure white patches would have climbed up to the ends of the centipede's thousand legs.

Not enough to be afraid of.

The signs of its death are already evident.

Zhu Wen's eyes continued to shift, looking at every corner of the earth. Under her gaze, many large and small whirlpools of red dust gradually appeared like monsters, perhaps a group of ghosts, or perhaps a giant beast. Each whirlpool represents a demon that is causing harm to one party. They devour living people, and at the same time, they also devour the human destiny of living people for their own use.

There are many whirlpools, but it is not without knights slaying demons. There is still a lot of relatively pure Qi in the world of mortals. They represent the Qi practitioners or knights who are wandering around the world, impacting one vortex after another.

Some will succeed, but many will fail. The general trend is that even if the knights kill the monsters, they will only usher in more monsters. Zhu Wen had an insight into the fate of more than a dozen knights in an instant, and they would all die soon, either in the next battle, or in the next few months they would sink into the sand, and all of them would fall into the monster's bloody maw. .

——I can save them. I should save them.

Zhu Wen thought.

She can easily trigger the destiny in the mortal world, so that these knights and qi-refiners who fight for world peace can turn danger into good fortune in the future. Defeat powerful enemies one by one and gain a lot of rewards. She can make their minds firm, and they will not be tempted or corrupted. Their number will increase as time goes by, and they will not conflict with each other, but let their respective destinies merge into one.

She can quietly promote a powerful Justice League, and she only needs to use the power of destiny to slightly suppress destiny. And from now on, just by relying on the general trend of the world and the desire of the trapped dragon in the capital, this "spontaneous" alliance can naturally find the most suitable time to attack, and on the night of the lunar eclipse, bring down the man who has caused the world to attack. The chaotic Pudu Cihang was completely eliminated.

To bring order out of chaos, all it takes is a wave of your hand. It takes a little risk, but the price is next to nothing. What Zhan Lan can do easily, he can do by spending some energy and time. And even if the final result is unsatisfactory, at least he can maintain some vitality for this turbulent world.

——But why should I do that?

——What does their life and death have to do with me?

Zhu Wen stared at the world of mortals, and the newly born Lord of Destiny felt silent in his heart. She quickly summed up several key points of identification by comparing the commonalities of the fortunes of those chivalrous qigong practitioners. After observing the Kunlun earth veins from a distance, Zhiqiu Yiye, who had corresponding characteristics, immediately appeared in Zhu Wen's observation.

The little Taoist priest who had just come down the mountain was dealing with a very common monster. When she saw him, the little Taoist priest had already successfully killed the ghost.

"I found it." So she said, and she also located the location of Yan Chixia and put a special mark on this largest evil-killing luck.

"Very good." She heard Zhan Lan reply.

She saw that the little Taoist priest's pillar of destiny was instantly stained with pure white spots. Its properties are the same as those around Centipede Spirit.

It seems that Zhan Lan has locked onto him - it seems that Zhan Lan has dominated him. He will obediently go to Qinghua County to gather under Zhan Lan's will, just like the ignorant scholar Ning Caichen, and the pair of Fu sisters who gave up saving their father in a daze.

Zhu Wen felt scared.

She is not afraid of Zhan Lan, let alone herself.

What scared her was that she had no fear at all about what was happening in front of her.

-My humanity...is slipping away. I was quickly losing my humanity...why now?

She was thinking calmly, or in other words, very normally. The divine power of fate flowed through her limbs and bones. She felt no discomfort, and soon even the slight fear she had felt earlier no longer remained.

The divine blood is pushing her forward. Pushing her forward even faster than before.

Helping her cross the third level easily, and still pushing her to move deeper. She knew that she was now more powerful than Cheng Xiao, who had also redeemed his S-class bloodline, but she did not understand the way of 'balance' or other similar things like Cheng Xiao did.

Gaining power always comes with a price. If you want to go faster, you will naturally have a chance of slipping to your waist.

However, no one in the current Zhongzhou team noticed anything strange about her. Because just now, she took care of the newcomer very gently.

——Maybe it’s because I’m going to die.

She was sure of it.

If nothing unexpected happens, mortal Zhu Wen will die soon. But Zhu Wen, the Lord of Destiny, will remain and will continue to contribute to the current Zhongzhou team in her place.

-Should I ask for help? Who to turn to for help? Jiang Yu will definitely save me...but what if he's not here?

She thought about it this time and finally got a negative result. Getting stronger is good for the team and good for yourself. It is not unacceptable for the me of tomorrow to kill the me of today. Anyway, the one who remains is Zhu Wen, and it will not affect anyone.

Her toes touched the ground.

"We're here." She saw Zhan Lan stop, and the target inn was right in front of her - it was as dilapidated and filled with gloom as in the movie.

The plan is being implemented in an orderly manner.

Zhu Wen was thinking, but her neck turned involuntarily and she looked into the distance behind her - that was the direction of the landing point of Zhongzhou.

She saw that the pillar of destiny of one of the four newcomers was suddenly extinguished, and the remaining three were also in danger. It was obvious that they had encountered a very serious crisis - the test of the Lord God should not have started so soon. It must have been them. Made some bad decisions.

But all he had to do was speak or move a hand to save the lives of those three people. Even the person who died may not have a chance to be summoned from the realm of death again.

"Zhu Wen?" She looked at Zhan Lan and turned his head to look at herself. "Is there a situation?"

- I should call for help.

——I should save those people too.

——This is the basic conscience of an ordinary person. When you are able, doing something to help those in need is not something that is not worth advocating.

——Am I an ordinary person now?

no.

The third level of gene lock is climbing upwards. Thinking of yourself and thinking of yourself as an ordinary person are two different things. She spoke softly and made a tongue sound that seemed to start with 'j'. But in the end, it all comes down to reason and calmness.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm just checking the changes in luck on this land...everything is normal." -Save...save me.

……………………

Zhan Lan turned his gaze.

She had already watched the deaths of the newcomers - her mental power fluctuations swept across the town, and she immediately restored everything that happened to her after they left the dungeon.

It's not an unexpected situation.

It was just a matter of a few newcomers who didn't know the heights of the world, they didn't trust each other, they competed with each other for the control of the action and then started fighting. As a result, innocent people were injured and were killed by the knights who came to annihilate the fire ghosts in prison.

The one who died first died due to lack of combat experience. Although he had huge power and comprehensive protection, he couldn't even "hit the opponent" in the calm state of magic. So much so that the injury that was originally just a scratch worsened to the point where it broke his eyes and penetrated his brain.

The remaining three people chose to disperse without any reason, giving up the advantage of staying together, and it was natural for them to be defeated individually.

A bunch of trash.

It is indeed the right judgment to leave them alone and let them fend for themselves. With so many enhancements, he ended up like this in less than half an hour. The result of continuing to invest in them is to waste more.

It would be nice to just let them end like this.

Zhan Lan's will was removed from the new people. People who deserve to die don't need any attention. On the contrary, she admired Zhu Wen a little. She was sure that Zhu Wen had discovered the changes caused by that group of wastes, and she agreed with Zhu Wen's decision.

——The Zhongzhou team already has enough people.

——Including those who are to be resurrected, basically every tactical position has candidates and substitutes. And how can any cat or dog enjoy the many team resources we have worked so hard and paid so much blood and tears for free?

——They must at least possess the specific talents required by the team and prove their loyalty and reliability before they can be qualified to become a member of the Central Continent team. And useless waste should be eliminated as early as possible... It is best to make a draft of this rule before Jiang Yu comes back. After all, with his temperament, he might protect any trash fish.

A reincarnation team can carry up to twenty official members.

In other words, if the team members reach twenty, the difficulty will be fixed at twenty people no matter what world it is. Based on the Central Continent team’s previous behavior and future configuration of combat power, the team will probably be full in one or two worlds at most. And when that time comes, the world wheel battle that is forcibly upgraded to a twenty-player difficulty level may cause heavy damage to the senior players before the weak ones are eliminated.

Zhan Lan doesn't like this future, or she hates it. If not, why did she come here with the harsh determination she now possesses?

So she just nodded to Zhu Wen and received Zhu Wen's faint smile that was no different from usual. A certain consensus seemed to be established between the two, and they became a secret alliance working for the benefit of the team.

This is good.

She didn't pay more attention to this matter.

His attention quickly shifted to look at the gloomy inn directly ahead. Judging from the timeline, it was only one month before Yan Chixia used the Xuanyuan Sword to split the weak point in space and go to the underworld, and Ning Caichen severely wounded the old demon of Black Mountain. She was sure that she would soon be able to find the weak point in the space left by Xuanyuan Sword. If that didn't work, she would try other methods.

So……

The moonlight sword in Zhan Lan's hand emits a faint light.
