Ask the Mirror Chapter 157: The conspiracy of Youcan in the hunting ground of ferocious beasts
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
In the void in my heart, the sunlight in the human world is bright. The figure projected by Yu Ci is slightly transparent in the sunlight, forming a great contrast with the dark and gloomy bottom of the lake.
Murong Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled warmly>
"Under the demon country, there is a lot of knowledge."
This outstanding spirit shaman seemed to be able to hear the mental connection between Yu Ci and You Rui, and the connection was seamless: "My foster mother's thoughts have not entered the water world at all. Someone has been waiting halfway to take in the pre-intake." The light of the shaman spirit came over." ”
"What happened when the spiritual light traveled through and forcibly broke the void before?"
"Although it breaks the void, it may not be the water world over there."
As soon as he said this, Yu Ci was stunned.
Murong Qingyan spoke in an understatement, but he opened up a new path beyond his almost fixed train of thought.
He recalled his previous doubts>
No matter how slow the Jade Cleansing Alliance is and how chaotic the legal environment at the bottom of the lake is, they will not continue to expand the scope of the Three-Yuan Secret Array into the deep water layer, and at the same time, in the area where the formation is forbidden, the demon kingdom at the bottom of the lake will reverse infiltration. , still unconscious.
There is indeed a lot of knowledge here!
Yu Ci stared at Murong Qingyan closely: "Senior sister, maybe you have a lot to say to me?"
Murong Qingyan shook her head slightly: "As a spiritual wizard, there are many restrictions; words are in the heart, but it is difficult to express them outside."
"Oh, I understand."
What Yu Ci thought of was the scene when Zhao Xiangshan betrayed Shenluolina and the curse backfired. This kind of thing should be more common among spirit shamans who communicate with many parties and are good at dancing.
Yu Ci really wanted to say, even if you break the oath, it is a pity that I am blocking everything. Shenluo Lina, who is far away in the depths of the starry sky outside the territory, and the Rakshasa ghost king who is in the real world, sharpening his sword, They are two completely different concepts. Yu Ci has no confidence that he can save Murong Qingyan's life.
Even though he knew it might be an excuse, he would not lie.
After thinking about it, Yu Ci smiled and said, "No guidance at all?"
"Yes."
Murong Qingyan was unexpectedly cheerful, as if she had been waiting here for a long time: "One of my benefactors once arranged that if Tianjun asks, you might as well answer like this: People who are destined to be brainless must use their fists well. As for Since it’s pointless to compare fists with others, why bother thinking about it?”
"..."
The so-called "benefactor" was undoubtedly Mrs. Huang Quan. As for Yu Ci, she was ridiculed mercilessly.
Yu Ci is not angry. Compared with Mrs. Huang Quan, most monks in the world can indeed be called "brainless". What's more important is that this one is trapped in his Pond of Ten Thousand Demons. Life and death are just a matter of a flip of his hand, so why bother?
However, there was one thing he still had to confirm. After thinking about it, Projection stepped forward, raised Murong Qingyan's hand, bent his fingers one by one, clenched them into a fist, and then compared them with his own. A comparison.
This action is naturally very "close", and Yu Ci's meaning is >
"No matter how good your fist is, it's useless if you can't hit anyone. I can only compare it with senior sister... Otherwise, senior sister can give you another instruction?"
Murong Qingyan was not angry, and her wrist was still in Yu Ci's grasp. She also smiled and shook her fist. In comparison, it was definitely smaller than Yu Ci's. Looking at her interested look, she actually I am really happy and have a strong anti-customer attitude.
Yu Ci was not in a hurry and let her make gestures until she was interested in speaking.
“I saw wild beasts in the wilderness hunting by instinct. No matter how skilled they are or what their prey is, there is only one basic thing. That is for food and survival. When they hunt, they must be hungry. That is the most fundamental driving force.
After a pause, her eyes flickered and she looked at Yu Ci>
"Beasts like this will never be distracted when hunting, because they are not qualified... Are Tianjun hungry?"
Yu Ci touched his belly and said with a wry smile: "It's okay."
This is the truth. Even if Murong Qingyan compares him with wild beasts, in reality, he is really not at the level of "stomach twitching" or "hungry".
Murong Qingyan pressed the back of his fist against Yu Ci's shadow, squinted his eyes, carefully studied the difference, and continued talking in an understatement>
“No wild beast will hunt until it is extremely hungry, so they can also choose prey, try to choose the old, weak, sick and disabled, anyway, just to fill their stomachs, so it is not very laborious to catch.
"They will never take the initiative to provoke powerful enemies, which will consume their less abundant physical strength and nutrients. Because of this restraint, circles and territories are naturally formed, which represents the foundation that can support their reproduction.
"But if there is a disaster year and the prey in the territory decreases sharply, they will have to expand the territory. In this way, conflicts with the strong will be inevitable. This is the result of 'no choice'. In the end, the winner The winner has food, the loser loses his life or escapes as a wild beast following his instincts. Isn’t this the trajectory of his life? ”
The meaning in Murong Qingyan’s smile is hard to gras
"For example, now, Tianjun can hold my daughter's hand and knead it and make gestures at will. What would happen if I were meditating on the mind back then, or if I were replaced by the one from Donghai?"
"Uh..."
Yu Ci was speechless for a moment. Aren't you having fun?
"Tianjun, there is no need to be embarrassed. With your current status and position, if you hook your fingers, most of the female cultivators in the world will be unable to escape from your palm, including Qingyan. Just like a small beast, it is always difficult to escape. Tiger kiss."
"..."
"It's just that Tianjun is holding my arm at this time, while others are pulling my legs and feet, and others are clasping my throat. Wild beasts compete for food, and it is rare to eat them separately. There must be a fight first. Field, this is the biggest reason why Qingyan still has a whole body."
Hearing what Murong Qingyan said, Yu Ci had some understanding.
The current situation in the real world is equivalent to a disaster year. All resources must be competed for. It is time for the "beasts" to expand their territory.
The current situation is that the giant Bajing Palace has just woken up and is still a little confused;
The Rakshasa Ghost King has already sharpened his teeth and claws and is hunting everywhere. The Northern Wilderness, Tian Rift Valley, Liuman Mountains, and the South China Sea are her newly opened hunting grounds, as well as the original territory of the East China Sea, and the wider area. The area includes the Southern Kingdom, the Three Lakes in the North, and the entire True Realm.
Yu Ci was like a tiger to Murong Qingyan, but compared to the first two, he was nothing.
He didn't even have a basic "hunting ground", but for various reasons, he was "valued" by both parties and was pulled to the same level. Under this situation, if you don't develop and grow, in the end, people will see through the reality, and you will only end up being swallowed up.
The so-called "hunting ground" is naturally the sphere of influence and the foundation of the system.
In the opinion of Murong Qingyan or Mrs. Huang Quan, Bajing Palace and Rakshasa Ghost King do have the ability to manage the system, but Yu Ci is different. He does not know how to manage and does not have the talent. This path is not as efficient as just borrowing some strength, following instinct, and going on a rampage.
The so-called "beast instinct" is to guard against or temporarily stay away from the most threatening people; to bite and devour the weak and strengthen them. However, looking around, there are no weaklings. They are all obviously jackals. Even if they are hunting, they can only pick the ones with less teeth...
Since the showdown with Mrs. Huang Quan, the "rhythm theory" he has thrown out is roughly the same model, but it is not as damaging as Murong Qingyan said.
"Is my image in the eyes of my senior sister so bad?"
"What is a more accurate description of a coyote that has no support, no territory, and a family?"
"...what?"
"Lord dog!"
A cold light flashed in Yu Ci's eyes, and she let go of Murong Qingyan's hand, but made no further movements.
It can be seen from Murong Qingyan's words and deeds that in the current situation, she is not really able to respond calmly to things like swinging around and losing her longevity. She is also emotional and even has some self-destructive behaviors. Propensity.
This is much better than "calm".
Yu Ci will not argue with her: "Thank you, senior sister, for your advice."
Murong Qingyan retracted her hand, brushed her hair lightly, and said with a smile: "For the sake of your good temper, I will give you a piece of news. Maybe you will be interested in the so-called 'plan' of the stepmother who is thousands of miles away from the topic. Don’t worry too much.”
"Senior sister means..."
"If you don't reach that state, you won't be able to seize that opportunity. The essence is there. No matter how hard you grind your teeth, to the beast, it's just a rich and delicious food. You can just swallow it to fill your stomach before the war comes. ”
"Ahem, is this the senior sister's attitude towards your adoptive mother?"
In this regard, Murong Qingyan avoided talking about it: "Although ferocious beasts have no brains, they can still keep an eye on their eyes and protect their own territory. They will not let go of delicious prey and let them be raised and grazed in captivity, giving them the opportunity to make amends. There won't be any...Okay, send me out. According to the agreement with the employer, if we lose contact for more than a quarter of an hour, I'm afraid I won't even have any scraps left."
In this conversation, Murong Qingyan didn't seem to talk about any meaningful topics, but the beginning and the end echoed each other. Yu Ci had adapted to her way of talking, and was still able to accept the result. The inner void moved out of the mind, and also brought out You Rui and Murong Qingyan.
The conversation in the void within the heart did not take long, but at this time, the slight chaos caused by his sudden attack was still continuing. Many people turned their eyes and looked at the two spirit wizards in the middle who "disappeared" for a while. , quite interested.
Yu Ci completely ignored them and handed the two spirit wizards to Yu Qingxuan to take care of. His eyes swept over Shao Tianzun's face without stopping.
Shao Tianzun sensed it, but since Yu Ci had no intention of communicating with him, he politely ignored it.
Actually, when Yu Ci saw Shao Tianzun, he really had a flash of inspiration in his heart and had some realization.
Shao Tianzun's "only taking into account the laws of heaven and not the people's hearts" is a very unique idea.
Nowadays, there are so many things going on, so let’s not consider the difficult-to-grasp issue of “people’s hearts” first. Instead, we should straighten things out from the fundamentals of the law, and then talk about other things.
Murong Qingyan’s explicit hints all reflect the key word "in front of you".
Of course she does not just refer to "Mrs. Xia", but also includes the important concept of "territory".
Don't guess what the true meaning of his words is, or even put it aside in advance. Yu Ci only explained the "immediate" situation from a legal perspective.
The problem now is that, without the Xiyu League’s complete knowledge, the demon kingdom at the bottom of the lake reversely infiltrated the area under its control into the waters in front of everyone.
From a legal point of view, both sides should be in a normal state, and there is no question of which one is slacking off and which one is performing beyond the standard. So, to achieve this result, at least two basic conditions must be met>
First, the arrangement of forbidden laws is exquisite enough;
The second is the "natural" conditions that are enough to confuse the induction of the Three-Yuan Secret Array.
There are many things that can be accomplished in the first one, so I won’t talk about it for now; as for the second one, as the highest achievement of the research on the formation prohibition of the Xiyu Alliance, if the Three-Yuan Secret Formation is really so easy to hide, how can the Xiyu Alliance survive? Until now?
According to information from various parties and Yu Ci’s personal experience, there is only one exception so far>
Supernatant system!
Due to the profound influence of the Shangqing Sect on the Xiyu League, its "traces" are everywhere in the Xiyu Lake Sanyuan Secret Array. Once these "traces" are activated, blind spots may appear in the array.
The day before yesterday, Yu Ci took advantage of this "flaw" to break through the barrier of the Three-Element Secret Formation in one fell swoop and moved directly into the deep waters.
This is the only reason Yu Ci can think of.
Needless to say how absurd this reason is, following this line of thinking, is there anything in this area that can allow the group of monsters in the Demon Kingdom at the bottom of the lake to master the "supernatant system"?
He cast his gaze towards the bottom of the lake where the light was almost gone, his face as cold as iron.
An even more absurd result came out>
Taixiao Divine Courtyard.
Before this, Yu Ci never thought that someone would be one step ahead of him and enter the Taixiao Divine Courtyard first.
He was also wondering why he hadn't noticed it at all until now, which was completely different from the situation when he could sense it hundreds of millions of miles away.
But this does not prevent him from continuing his train of thought>
If it is Taixiao Shenting, there are several key points>
First, someone discovered the location of Taixiao Divine Court early on, but kept it secret. Instead, they used it for the Demon Kingdom at the bottom of the lake. This time point, or the time point of "cracking and utilizing", should be at the end of the last tribulation and the beginning of the tribulation, when Yu Qingxuan noticed a significant increase in strength.
The second is that "that person" has penetrated Taixiao Shenting very deeply and has such control that Yu Ci is "so close" without any notice.
Third, even with the above two problems, some important areas of Shenting still retain a very pure Shangqing system. Therefore, when Yu Ciyun made Ziwei Emperor and Eternal Yunxiao resonate with the Shangqing system, On the contrary, there will be a reaction. In other words, that person has not completely taken over Taixiao Divine Court as his own.
Fourthly, it can be judged from the above that the strength of that person or "that force" should still be limited. At least Yu Ci cannot imagine what else will happen if Taixiao Divine Court falls into the hands of the Rakshasa Ghost King. The rest; but that person's strength should be above the level, because judging from Murong Qingyan's reaction, the Rakshasa Ghost King is not unaware of this matter. He should be able to save Taixiao Divine Court in this situation. It’s only right to rely on them.
Fifth, and very crucial, it can be deduced based on the time point, strength, close connection with the demon country at the bottom of the lake, relationship with the Rakshasa Ghost King, and various changes at today's lake festival, "that person" His identity, most likely, is that of Feihun City Lord Youcan!
Finally, there is another point. Youcan and the Rakshasa Ghost King... should be connected!
Yu Ci's heart was rumbling, mostly because of the "appearance" of Taixiao Shenting; and partly because of the complicated emotions of being robbed of the first move; and partly because of the inexplicable confidence in his own ideas.
His heartbeat was unexpectedly steady and strong. For this reason, he understood better why Shao Tianzun only considered the principles of heaven and not the human heart, because the conclusions drawn from the principles of the law were so solid and reassuring.
Of course, Yu Ci is not someone who goes to extremes. Later, when he made his inferences, he connected the legal results with the changes in people's hearts and integrated information from all parties to find out the context.
Just like Murong Qingyan's explicit hint, it was Mrs. Huang Quan's instruction, and in a sense it was also an expectation.
Mrs. Huang Quan hoped that Yu Ci would be like a rampaging wild beast, keeping his eye on the target and biting him, and never let go.
The direction is very direct, but it needs enough temptation. What could make Yu Ci, who was not so "hungry" yet, ignore it and rush forward?
It is Taixiao Shenting!
Perhaps Mrs. Huangquan wanted to use his impact, or ability to cause destruction, to put pressure on the Rakshasa Ghost King and Mahakala and create a loophole for her to exploit.
I must admit that Mrs. Huangquan made the right choice.
Murong Qingyan's "beast theory" is not wrong at all. Yu Ci still does not have a "hunting ground" or "territory", which will prevent him from finding a basis to effectively strengthen himself in future shocks. .
Therefore, it is impossible for Yu Ci to hand over Taixiao Divine Court to others.
At this point, there is no choice.
The problem is, no matter how vicious Murong Qingyan says, Yu Ci can confirm that he will never be a "local dog", but a normal person with considerable resources and who knows how to think.
No matter how deep Mrs. Huang Quan’s calculations are, she does not know the existence of Zhao Xiangshan, and may not be able to calculate his current relationship with Yu Qingxuan, as well as his current status...
Yu Ci didn’t know what backup plan the imprisoned Mrs. Huangquan could have, but he knew that when there was no choice, if he could do more damage, create greater flaws, and create more A big surprise, beyond everyone's expectations, was his chance.
Yu Ci was silent for too long. The monks from all sides thought that he would have a reason after rescuing the two spirit witches. Who would have thought that after half an hour of effort, there was actually no reason at all. People can't help but be a little suspicious of words, and some people shout loudly>
"I wonder what Tianjun Yuanxu thinks?"
Yu Ci is now flooded with thoughts, how can she be in the mood to understand them? He just silently set his sights near the altar.
The aura's "blessing" and "divine punishment" are not continuous. At this time, Youhuang and other great witches have basically stabilized the situation. The elders who just lost control and released the magical power of "Dharma and Heaven and Earth" are also restrained. Stay, and barely regain your composure.
Kehu made such a big mistake, and all the Wumen monks there were disgraced. This matter is undoubtedly a shame that they will never be able to wash away.
It was driven by this emotion that they intentionally or unintentionally isolated Mrs. Xia, leaving her alone on the altar.
In a witch sect where "sacrifice" is the most important, if such a big mistake occurs, the chief priest cannot escape responsibility.
What's more, it was obviously a sacrificial activity to verify the bloodline of the "Witch Fetus", but in the end the "Witch Fetus" disappeared. Madam Xia was using Feihun City's face to slap the world in the face!
It is conceivable that starting from today, if there is no accident, Madam Xia's prestige in Feihun City will plummet and it will be impossible to get it back.
Mrs. Xia was still kneeling, but after regaining some strength, she knelt as straightly as possible, facing the bottomless lake, leaving only her back to everyone.
This is the only way she can maintain her dignity at this stage.
Yu Ci’s attention is undoubtedly stimulating.
Youhuang, who had already controlled his emotions, directed his gaze as sharp as a blade, and then focused on the two spirit wizards. As for the focus, it was Murong Qingyan.
In such a tragic situation, one scapegoat is definitely not enough.
Although the current situation is far from what he imagined, if he fails to seize such a good opportunity, his life will be in vain! He wanted to work hard to completely suppress Madam Xia's influence in Feihun City and pave the way for his eldest brother to return to the city.
At this moment, whether it was Yu Ci, You Huang, or the other people watching the ceremony, everyone had their own opinions on the situation and future changes, and they all formed a rough response.
But the wonderful thing about the world is that it never goes as people expect.
At the moment when Youhuang and Yu Ci were about to speak, there was another rumbling vibration from the bottom of the lake.
The remaining ray of light that broke through the void and bloomed with spiritual light was like a candle that was blown out by someone, suddenly disappearing without a trace.
Correspondingly, there are layers of dense Qi machines, forming a fine network that spreads out from that area.
In an instant, Yu Ci suddenly felt something, so clear and definite, pointing directly to the bull's-eye.
His heart twitched violently, as if someone had hit him hard with a heavy hammer, but his face remained calm and he only turned his eyes slightly.
Yu Ci also noticed that the senior officials of the various sects of the Xiyu League seemed to be passing on news non-stop. He had not entered that circle yet and did not know the details, but he could believe that although he had received more information there than he had here, These are fragmented things, the results of a belated inspection of the Three-Yuan Secret Formation.
However, there is no doubt about its directionality.
You can see the clues just by looking at the gazes directed towards him by a few characters whose mental state cultivation is still lacking.
"Heavenly Lord..."
Yu Qingxuan must have felt something as well. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Ci shook his head to stop and pointed his gaze at Youhuang.
That person obviously also received the message. Don’t doubt anyone’s ability to associate. In this situation, if he didn’t associate it with his brother, he would really be called a ghost!
Youcan...
This leader of Feihun City, whose name Yu Ci only heard but never met, is announcing to everyone in this overly straightforward way>
Come on, Taixiao Shenting is here!
Yu Ci’s eyes were cold and he wanted to ask Youhuang>
What the **** is your brother doing?
Of course, Youhuang would probably not be able to answer the question 100% of the time, but it didn’t matter. Yu Ci had nothing to be afraid of. At this time, what else couldn’t he do?
He led the two spirit wizards and took one step forward to the altar.
The originally extremely delicate situation was like a frying pan with cold water poured into it. It could no longer be controlled and started to tremble.
