Chapter 203 Outside Forces

To be honest, Zhang Lan has a good heart, and Li Qi has thought about this proposal many times.

However, Li Qi finally shelved this choice for the time being and did not speak out about it.

Now that it was brought up, Li Qiye replied: "No, Palace Master Zhengjian has important things to do now. If the matter here ruins the plan, it will not be a good thing, and the responsibility will also be on me."

When Zhang Lan heard this, he was confused. He scratched his head: "The big plan? Why don't I know? Brother Li, you are not from Zhengjian Palace, how do you judge it?"

When Li Qi heard this, he immediately understood that Zhang Lan did not know about Zhengjian Palace's big move.

It sounds normal.

The Palace Master of Zhengjian Palace is currently plotting with many of their elders to intercept and kill one of the Six Demon Kings of Tianhui and cut off the arm of Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven when Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven goes out of the territory.

The six demon kings of Tianhui form their own formation, using the six qi of heaven as their heel. They can aggregate into the real "qi of heaven", and together they are quite powerful.

Before Li Qi came, the Lord of the Green Mountain Kingdom told him that the Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord was going outside the territory for unknown reasons. The Zhengjian Palace was taking this opportunity to try to intercept and kill one of the six demon kings and completely cut off the six demon kings. The six disease magical powers used by the demon kings together. (See Chapter 160)

There is a battle between the sixth rank over there. If he really wants to send a sixth rank over and cause the frontal battlefield to collapse, then Li Qi will be committing a heinous crime.

However, it would be impossible to tell Zhang Lan this kind of secret. If it were leaked, it would be a bigger problem.

It's not that Li Qixin is no better than Zhang Lan, but sometimes, your subjective will is actually not that good. Some people want to pry your mouth open, and you can't resist no matter what.

Therefore, simply not knowing is the best way to keep a secret.

So Li Qi warned: "You don't care about this matter, it will be bad for you if you say it, but you have to know, don't go to your palace master if nothing happens, otherwise I'm afraid it will ruin the big thing, and you will have to pay for it if you sell yourself." Sorry."

Hearing this, Zhang Lan also understood Li Qi's consciousness.

Li Qi may know something that he doesn't know, but he can't tell himself.

So, he asked: "Well, Brother Li, I have a question."

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, he stared at Li Qi closely: "How do you know this?"

Li Qi knew too much and acted too mysteriously. From the initial encounter to all the subsequent events, Zhang Lan himself didn't even react, but Li Qi was able to handle the whole process with ease.

Not only had Zhang Lan arranged what he wanted to do, he had even subdued the underground forces in Guangyang, and he also personally went to find out where Monk Zenzhi was.

How did he do such an incredible thing? What are his heels?

Li Qi, on the other hand, spread his hands and said simply: "I'm from Wushen Mountain."

Okay, Zhang Lan's doubts disappeared.

This name alone is enough to dispel all doubts and cover up everything abnormal about Li Qi.

"Wishen Mountain, foreign affairs tour?" Zhang Lan asked cautiously.

Li Qi didn't hide it either. It was already a showdown anyway, so he uttered two more words: "Young Master".

Zhang Lan couldn't stand still and hit the wall. His blood surged and his eyes were filled with stars. He stammered and wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Zhengjian Palace can also be regarded as a large sect. Although the sect is in the Baiyue area, it is actually considered a backbone sect in the Baiyue area.

So, he was frightened.

After a while, he regained his composure, with a wry smile on his face: "That's because I am better than Brother Li. But, if you have this background, why are you struggling with this here?"

"Just think of it as an exam..." Li Qi said helplessly.

It was difficult for him to explain, after all, he had no idea whether this was normal or not.

Would a normal Da Zhu disciple be like me?

The teacher threw two books to him, and then asked him to trek three million miles back to Wushen Mountain.

I always feel that a teacher with an average mind would not do such a thing.

But... Back in the earth oil world, another Shaman Mountain master, Boyue, told Li Qi that Li Qi's teacher was notoriously abnormal.

So it seems normal for me to encounter these strange things?

Because it is abnormal, it is normal.

OK, but that’s probably the idea.

But when Li Qi said this, Zhang Lan also understood all the reasons.

take an exam.

There is something similar like this in Zhengjian Palace.

Throw the elite disciples into the devil's cave and let them fight their way out.

only……

The Zhengjian Palace is usually placed in a demon cave of the same level as the disciple's ability. It can slay demons and train the disciple at the same time.

He would not do anything like letting a ninth-grade disciple confront a seventh-grade disciple.

That's not an exam, that's courting death.

But consider the identity of the other party.

Perhaps it is this level of difficulty that qualifies it as the opponent's test.

Zhang Lan took a deep breath and calmed down, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. He did not change his attitude because of Li Qi's identity. He just said: "Brother Li, why did you spend so much energy to find me back?"

Li Qi did not put on any airs, pulled Zhang Lan, sat down in the yard, and said to him, "Brother Zhang, I naturally have something important to entrust you with."

"Please tell me, it is a matter of life and death for countless people in Guangyang. If I can help Brother Li, Zhang will definitely spare no effort." Zhang Lan also became serious and listened carefully to Li Qi's words.

"Brother Zhang, let me analyze the current situation in Guangyang first."

Li Qi used his finger to dip into the tea, and began to draw on the stone table with the teacup as a mark.

"First of all, we must realize that the reason why Guangyang was so corrupt was entirely because of Monk Chanzhi."

"This person's purpose has been found out. He came for the Wudao method. His current state is entangled with evil thoughts. It is estimated that a master told him that the Wudao method can alleviate it, so he came."

"But what lies before him is a very embarrassing thing. For many orthodox Wudao inheritances, the inheritance itself is guarded, and he has no ability to break this guard."

Zhang Lan nodded in approval.

Many inheritances are like this. Many skills have the ability to read minds, even absorb memories, or directly devour other people's skills, but it is purely wishful thinking to rely on this method to get a superior method.

Almost all orthodox inheritances have means to protect. Some require key primers to practice. It is meaningless to simply get the skills. Some are even more brutal and will kill the stealer.

For example, the core method of Zhengjian Palace needs to be practiced in the center of the mountain gate. If you learn the method and practice it in other places, the sword energy you practice will be out of control. At the least, it is equivalent to practicing in vain, and at the worst, it will explode and die.

Zhang Lan even heard of a magical method, which is a method of a large sect with a fifth-grade strongman sitting in the seat, called "Fushi Jing". This method cannot be remembered. It will be automatically forgotten every day, and it cannot be copied. After copying it down, it will disappear the next day and become a blank paper.

Therefore, you can only practice in the original scriptures at the mountain gate. Read it one day and practice it one day. Practice with the book. If you forget, read it again the next day until you succeed.

But even after you succeed, you will only have one more magical power, and you still can't remember the method of practice.

As for what means Wushen Mountain has to protect its own methods from being stolen, it is unknown, but it is Wushen Mountain after all... Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

Li Qi certainly didn't know what Zhang Lan was thinking, he just continued:

"So, Monk Chanzhi couldn't really look for those profound inheritances, so he set his sights on Guangyang. Guangyang's governor and Sima were both seventh-grade witches, and Monk Chanzhi was confident that he could break the restrictions on their inheritance."

"This is why the situation in Guangyang was so bad. After Monk Chanzhi came, he first took advantage of the popularity of the people here, and then used cause and effect to build the framework of his fifth-level pagoda, and then fought one against three, killed Guangyang Sima, and expelled "He killed the governor and suppressed Sikong underground, not daring to show his head." "As for the Guangyang Situ, who was only an eighth-rank official, he was easily turned into a puppet by the method of eating hearts. Since then, Guangyang's political situation has been his one-man show. He hid behind the scenes and used the power of Situ and Sima to slowly explore the inheritance of witchcraft for him." "However, both Situ and Sima were eaten by him, and their memories were devoured by him. After he cracked the witchcraft method, he began to try it gradually. This is our opportunity." Li Qi said. Zhang Lan, who was still listening to the situation, was stunned when he heard it. Why is there an opportunity suddenly? Aren't we still talking about the situation of Monk Chanzhi? "Brother Zhang may not know, but I know that whether it is Guangyang Sima or Situ, the witchcraft methods in their hands are all witchcraft!" Li Qi said with a firm tone. He was very sure of this. At the node of the mountain and water formation, that is, at Huang Shanjun's place, he clearly saw the construction method of the mountain and water formation, which was completely witchcraft.

This has been confirmed.

"The art of witchcraft has gone completely astray, and has basically abandoned the method of heavenly balance, so it is of no use to him to eliminate the evil thoughts in his heart. That's why he targeted me." "I have been doing good deeds everywhere along the way, and I have left too many names in the sacrificial method. It is too high-profile, so the monk Chanzhi has discovered me a long time ago. He placed his hopes on me, hoping to get the orthodox method of witchcraft from me to balance the heart of Buddha and devil for him. For this reason, he planned the scene of Zhenguan, and step by step induced me to take the initiative to create a method for him. In fact, Brother Zhang was involved because of my involvement." Zhang Lan shook his head: "This person put more than 100,000 people to death for his own selfishness, he really deserves to die! As for whether it is implicated or not, don't say that. Even if you are not there, I will go up in that situation. There is no such thing as involvement or not. It's just that you haven't said where our opportunity is." Li Qi entered the key point: "The opportunity lies in the art of witchcraft , there is no sacrificial method for the art of witchcraft!"

"The sacrificial method of witchcraft has been alienated into a means of raising poisonous insects and feeding monsters, and is no longer an orthodox sacrifice. In other words, Monk Chanzhi himself is incapable of completing a sacrifice."

When Li Qi said this, he looked at Zhang Lan, who was confused, and began to explain:

"Brother Zhang, do you still remember that we confronted the two eighth-rank monks who wanted to rob the people?"

Zhang Lan recalled and said, "Of course I remember. I seemed to have said it later. What did you say was... Rat Soil Tomb."

Li Qi slapped the table: "Yes, it is Rat Soil Tomb!"

"Brother Zhang, do you know the legend of Rat Soil Tomb?"

Zhang Lan shook his head blankly: "Of course I don't know, what is that?"

"Rat Soil Tomb is a strange beast in the Buddhist country. It likes to offer sacrifices and incense. According to my speculation, it was brought by Monk Chanzhi, but the rat king in Rat Soil Tomb is at least the seventh rank, so it is impossible to belong to Monk Chanzhi. It is more likely to travel with Chanzhi to the place where the witch is. "

"In the legend of Shutang Tomb, it is very fond of being sacrificed. It is recorded in the Records of the Western Regions, 'Therefore, from the king to the common people, they made sacrifices to pray for blessings. They followed the caves, followed by the lower ones, and worshiped. To pay tribute and offer sacrifices to pray for blessings, such as clothes, bows and arrows, or fragrant flowers and delicacies, is also a sign of sincerity, and if you do not enjoy the sacrifice, you will encounter disaster."

Offer sacrifices to pray for blessings, and you will receive more benefits.

If there is no sacrifice, there will be disaster.

With just these two sentences, the character of Shutangfen has been made very clear.

This knowledge was all told to him by Shen Shuibi. Even Zenzhi wouldn't have known in advance that Li Qi could know this!

After listening to Li Qi's words, Zhang Lan suddenly realized!

He stood up in surprise and clapped his hands happily: "Monk Zenzhi doesn't have the power to perform sacrifices, but Brother Li does! You want to use the power of the Rat Tomb to make the demon monk suffer the consequences?! What a great idea! What a great idea! It's just Brother Li." How are you going to implement this?”

Li Qi waved his hand, signaling him to calm down and sit down and listen.

Zhang Lan suppressed the excitement and doubts in his heart, sat down and continued to listen to Li Qi's words.

He finally figured out that the Master of Wushen Mountain might not be good at martial arts, but in terms of intelligence and planning, he was ten times better than him!

He went to Guangyang and even wrote him a letter on the way back. It can be seen that Monk Zenzhi's reaction was always in his calculations.

Now they have easily captured two major forces in Guangyang City, the Liang League and the Xiajiumen, which basically cover more than 80% of the underground forces in Guangyang.

Although everyone on the official stage seems to have nothing to do with him, who knows if someone who is him will suddenly pop up?

And all this, he had only been here for ten days, and he had easily accomplished this without using any of Wushen Mountain's resources.

In fact, his purpose is to get entangled with a terrifying seventh-grade person and even kill him.

Are all the young masters of Wushen Mountain like this?

Only such people can be selected?

Zhang Lan was excited, but at the same time he couldn't see through Li Qi, who had always been his brother-in-law and had no airs at all.

However, Li Qi didn't seem to notice this change and just continued: "This is the purpose of calling you, Brother Zhang. Let's move on to the situation in Guangyang."

"At this moment, Guangyang Sima and Guangyang Situ are still official figures. I seriously suspect that these two identities are still monitoring the situation in Guangyang. Therefore, most of the recent use of underground forces has not been noticed by the officials."

"So, I need an official figure, someone who can speak in public in Guangyang. That is you, Brother Zhang. You are the sword master of the Zhengjian Palace. You are chivalrous and upright, and you have a bright identity. You are just the right person to do it. This matter."

"Take some Jianghu people and some official forces, preferably the army, and go to the Sky-Swallowing Demon Nest!"

"I want you to help me-"

"Contact Shuangfen! Just tell them that the person who really understands sacrifice is not Monk Zenzhi, but me."
