Chapter 538 The Protagonist of Pua, Facing Taotie
Under Zhang Fang's deliberate temptation, Chen Jingchou finally took the initiative to kneel on the ground and told everything about his experience.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a bloody story about an elderly person who was deceived by false advertising, resulting in heavy losses and even catastrophic consequences for future generations.
Let’s start with Chen Jingchou’s life experience.
His true identity is the bloodline of the Nanchen royal family that was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty. When the Sui Dynasty suppressed the Nanchen royal family, his mentor Chen Fu replaced Chen Jingchou with his only grandson who was under one year old.
At the cost of losing his descendants, he saved the only flesh and blood of Chen Guo.
After that, Chen Fu raised Chen Jingchou to adulthood and taught him Guigu Taoism, hoping that one day the crown prince could overthrow the Sui Dynasty and realize the restoration of Nanchen.
Because he had sacrificed too much for Nanchen, Chen Fu was almost obsessed with restoring the country to the point of being almost demonic.
Later, I found a so-called "Nine-Five Formation" method from some deceptive ancient books I didn't know where. As long as I gathered the five artifacts of Fuxi Qin, Shennong Ding, Kongtong Seal, Kunlun Mirror and Nuwa Stone, I would be able to You can set up the "Nine-Five Formation" to unite the fortunes of the world, and successfully ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor.
After Chen Fu saw this method, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He believed in it so much that no one could persuade him.
Some time ago, Chen Fu somehow found a record in a pirated ancient book about the Kunlun Mirror being hidden on Demon Fu Mountain. As a result, the Kunlun Mirror was not found, but they found the Fumo Ancient Mirror that looked very similar to the Kunlun Mirror. When they tried to retrieve the mirror, they accidentally released the ancient monster Taotie that was sealed in the ancient mirror.
In order to prevent Taotie from harming the people of the world, Chen Fu sealed himself in a cave with him, and at the last moment ordered Chen Jingchou to go to Lei Xiaze to find Gongshan Iron to deal with Taotie.
"That is to say..." After hearing Chen Jingchou's description, Zhang Fang's eyes became dangerous at the right time: "Did you let Taotie out?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Jingchou was shocked and turned pale. He quickly lowered his head and said: "Thousands of mistakes are all the fault of this junior. Please help me, the immortal, to save my master!"
Zhang Fang asked back: "From the beginning to the end, it was your master who advocated finding the Kunlun Mirror, and it was your master who unlocked the Taotie seal. But tell me, where did you go wrong in this matter?"
Chen Jingqiu sweated: "Immortal, I..."
Zhang Fang raised his eyebrows: "You still call me an immortal?"
Chen Jingchou looked confused, obviously unable to keep up with Zhang Fang's thinking.
Yu Xiaoxue on the side suddenly thought of something and quietly tugged on the corner of Chen Jingchou's clothes: "Call me Brother He."
Only then did Chen Jingchou realize that although Zhang Fang's attitude looked serious, he didn't seem to be really angry, so he immediately changed his words and said: "Brother He, you are very capable, and you came here specifically for the gluttonous matter. .Jingchou shamelessly begs eldest brother to take action and save my master!"
Now Chen Jingchou has changed his name to calling him brother, and after making a mistake, he took the initiative to ask for help from his brother to save people.
So after the person was rescued, and this good brother asked to borrow the demon refining pot, he shouldn't be able to find any reason to refuse, right?
With this thought in mind, Zhang Fang nodded with satisfaction: "Lead the way."
In fact, in the case of PUA Chen Jingchou, the best way is to wait for Chen Jingchou to beg him with full sincerity. By then, the initiative in the negotiation will naturally fall 100% in Zhang Fang's hands.
But according to the development of the plot, Chen Jingchou first went to Lei Xiaze to find Gongshan Iron Man, and then went to the tripod to find medicine to heal the opponent. As a result, the elixir to cure the disease was refined, and Gongshan Iron Man was gone. At this point, Chen Jingchou, who was desperate, had to follow Gong Shantie's last words and go to sea to find immortals.
From the perspective of maximizing interests, if Zhang Fang appears at this time, it will definitely achieve the best results.
But in this case, God knows how much precious time will be wasted!
As for Zhang Fang's trip to the world of "Henmark in the Sky", it can be said that the time is tight and the tasks are heavy. How can he have so much time to spend with Chen Jingchou and the others?
In order to speed up the progress of the plot, Zhang Fang could only use some PUA tricks to increase Chen Jingchou's guilt and gratitude to himself. Only in this way will things go smoother when we borrow the Demon Refining Pot from him again.
In order to pave the way for the next thing, Zhang Fang also gave the two of them some knowledge about the "Road to Heaven" and the "Form of Loss" on the way to Fumo Mountain, taking advantage of Chen Jingchou's understanding of things. Before the understanding of the Communist Party of China was completely finalized, the rumors of the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" instilled by Chen Fu were targeted.
Regarding Zhang Fang's refutation of the rumor, Chen Jingchou kept an honest smile from beginning to end and just nodded in agreement, but in fact he didn't take it seriously at all.
Zhang Fang didn't blame him at all for this. Because he knew that it was not that Chen Jingchou didn't believe what he said, but that he had a completely indifferent attitude towards the "Nine Five Formation" and the "Lost Formation" from the beginning to the end.
This feeling was the same as when Zhang Fang's deskmate told him that "it is a rumor that Chen Xiaoer next door and a certain celebrity have the same birthday. The two people calculated a lunar calendar and a solar calendar, which is not a concept at all."
His only reaction after hearing the news was not to judge whether it was true or false, but...
What does this special thing have to do with me?
Chen Jingchou's current reaction is probably similar to Zhang Fang's at that time.
In fact, reorganizing the country and restoring the dynasty were entirely due to the ardent expectations placed on him by Chen Fu. Chen Jingchou himself did not actually have any grand ambitions. His greatest hope was to be able to wield swords in the world, occasionally recite poems and write poems, and be free and easy. Live a life of freedom.
Just because Chen Fu was too kind to him, he had to suppress his thoughts and try to live his life according to Chen Fu's will.
While chatting without a word, Zhang Fang soon led Chen Jingchou to the outside of the cave where Chen Fu and Taotie were sealed.
The sealing spell that Chen Fu used his last effort to release was actually not complicated. Although it had great power inside, it became much simpler to destroy it from the outside. Zhang Fang just injected his own immortal power into it, and soon found several key nodes in the seal.
Then he mobilized his own immortal power and rushed along those key nodes.
The huge seal that enveloped the entire cave disintegrated immediately, revealing an unconscious white-haired old man and an ancient white jade mirror with overwhelming demonic energy ready to come out. As the seal in the cave was unlocked, the vast and violent demonic energy quickly poured out from the ancient mirror, as if something terrible was squeezing out along a narrow bottleneck.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Fang took out the Zhaodan Divine Sword with a wave of his hand.
At the same time, he spoke in a deep voice and ordered Chen Jingchou: "Brother Jingchou, take your master and Miss Xiaoxue out of here quickly. I want to fight with Taotie. The noise that will be made later may be a bit loud, so you all stay away. ...Well, it’s better to go directly to the foot of the mountain and wait for me.”
When Chen Jingchou heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, then stepped forward to carry Chen Fu on his back, and escaped out of the cave in a flash. Then he called Xiaoxue and fled down the mountain without looking back.
At the same time, the demonic energy sealed in the ancient white jade mirror finally escaped completely, condensing in front of Zhang Fang into a ferocious monster with a goat body and a human face, unfamiliar armpits, and tiger teeth and human claws. After appearing, he immediately opened his bloody mouth and let out a shrill scream like a baby's cry towards Zhang Fang.
