Chapter 203 Outsiders

Honestly speaking, Zhang Lan had good intentions, and Li Qi had thought about this proposal many times.

However, Li Qi finally put this option aside for the time being and did not bring it up.

Now that it was brought up, Li Qi replied: "No, the Lord of the Right Sword Palace has important things to do now. If the big plan is ruined because of this matter, it will be bad, and the responsibility will be on me."

Zhang Lan was confused when he heard it, and he scratched his head: "Big plan? How come I don't know? Brother Li, you are not from the Right Sword Palace, how do you judge it?"

Li Qi heard this and immediately understood that Zhang Lan did not know about the big move of the Right Sword Palace.

It is also normal to say.

The Lord of the Right Sword Palace is now conspiring with many of their elders to kill one of the Six Demon Kings of Heaven and cut off one of the arms of the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord when the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord goes to the outside of the domain.

The Six Demon Kings of Heaven form their own formations, with the Six Qi of Heaven as their foothold, and can gather into the real 'Qi of Heaven', which is quite powerful when they join forces.

Before Li Qi came, the Lord of Green Mountain told him that the Sky Devouring Demon Lord went to the outer domain for unknown reasons, and the Zhengjian Palace was taking this opportunity to try to kill one of the six demon kings and completely cut off the six demon kings' joint six-speed magic. (See Chapter 160)

There is a battle between six-grades over there. If a six-grade is really transferred here to cause the front battlefield to collapse, then Li Qi will be guilty of a heinous crime.

However, this kind of secret cannot be told to Zhang Lan. If it is leaked, it will be a bigger problem.

It's not that Li Qi doesn't trust Zhang Lan, but sometimes your subjective will is not good. Some people want to pry open your mouth, and you can't resist it anyway.

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

So Li Qi advised: "Don't worry about this matter. It's not good for you to tell it, but you have to know that you should not go to your palace master for no reason, otherwise it may ruin the big thing, and you can't afford to sell yourself at that time."

Zhang Lan heard this and also understood Li Qi's consciousness.

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

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

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

Li Qi knew too much and acted too mysteriously. From the initial encounter to the various things that happened later, Zhang Lan himself didn't even react, but Li Qi handled the whole process with ease.

Not only did he arrange what Zhang Lan had to do, he even conquered the underground forces in Guangyang, and he personally went to find out the background of Monk Chanzhi.

How did he do such an incredible thing? What is his background?

Li Qi, on the other hand, spread his hands and said very straightforwardly: "I am from Wushen Mountain."

Well, Zhang Lan's doubts disappeared.

This name alone is enough to dispel all doubts and cover up all the abnormalities in Li Qi.

"Wushen Mountain, walking in the external affairs?" Zhang Lan asked carefully again.

Li Qi didn't hide it. Anyway, he had already revealed his cards, so he spit out two more words: "Young Master".

Zhang Lan lost his balance and hit the wall. His blood was boiling, and he was stuttering. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhengjian Palace is also a big sect. Although the sect is in the Baiyue area, it is actually a middle-level sect in the Baiyue area.

So, he was scared.

After a long time, he regained his composure and smiled bitterly: "Then I am marrying up to Brother Li, but if you have such a background, why are you entangled in these things here?"

"Just treat it as an exam..." Li Qi said helplessly.

It was difficult for him to explain, after all, he didn't know whether this was normal or not.

Would a normal Dazhu disciple be the same as himself?

The teacher threw two books to himself and asked him to travel three million miles back to Wushen Mountain.

I always feel that a teacher with a slightly more ordinary mind would not do such a thing.

But... In the oil industry, another Wushen Mountain master Boyue told Li Qi that Li Qi's teacher was notoriously abnormal.

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

Because it is abnormal, it is normal.

It's a bit awkward, but that's probably the idea.

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

Test.

Zhengjian Palace also has something similar.

Throwing elite disciples into the devil's cave and letting them fight their way out.

But...

Zhengjian Palace usually throws disciples into the devil's cave with the same ability as the disciples, and trains the disciples while slaying demons.

They won't let the ninth-grade disciples confront the seventh-grade disciples.

That's not a test, that's courting death.

But considering the other party's identity.

Perhaps it is this level of difficulty that is qualified to be the other party'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: "So Brother Li, why did you spend so much energy to find me back?"

Li Qi did not put on airs. He pulled Zhang Lan and sat in the yard, saying to him: "Brother Zhang, I asked you to come here, of course, I have something important to ask you."

"Please tell me, this is related to the lives of countless people in Guangyang. If I can help Brother Li, I will definitely spare no effort." Zhang Lan also became serious and listened carefully to Li Qi's words.

"Brother Zhang, listen to my analysis of the current situation in Guangyang first."

Li Qi dipped his fingers in tea, used the tea cup as a symbol, and began to draw on the stone table.

"First of all, we must realize that the reason why Guangyang has been so corrupted is entirely because of Zen Zhi monk."

"The purpose of this person has been found out clearly. He came here for the witchcraft method. His current state is haunted by evil thoughts. It is estimated that an expert told him that the witchcraft method can alleviate it, so he came here."

"But what is before him is a very embarrassing thing. For many orthodox witchcraft inheritances, the inheritance itself is protected, and he has no ability to break this protection."

Zhang Lan nodded in approval.

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

Almost all orthodox inheritances have means to protect them. Some require key introductions to practice. It is meaningless to simply obtain the skills. Others are more brutal and will kill those who steal the master.

For example, the core method of Zhengjian Palace needs to be practiced in the center of the mountain gate. If the method is learned and practiced elsewhere, the sword energy gained from the practice will be directly out of control. At best, it will be equivalent to practicing in vain, and in worst case, the body will explode and die. .

In fact, Zhang Lan had even heard of a magical technique, which was a technique from a sect with a fifth-grade expert in charge. It was called "The Sutra of Taking Food". This technique cannot be memorized every day. It will be automatically forgotten and cannot be copied. Once copied, it will disappear the next day and become a blank sheet of paper.

Therefore, the only way to practice is to read the original scriptures at the mountain gate, practice one day at a time, and practice in front of the book. If you forget, you can read it again the next day, until you complete the practice.

But even after completing the cultivation, I only have one more magical power, and I still cannot remember the method of cultivation.

As for what Wushen Mountain has to protect its skills from being stolen, that's not known, but it is Wushen Mountain after all... just thinking about it makes people shudder.

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

"So, Monk Zenzhi couldn't really find those profound inheritances, so he focused on Guangyang. The prefect of Guangyang and Sima were both in the seventh level of witchcraft. At the same time, Monk Zenzhi was sure to break the restrictions on their inheritances."

"This is the reason why the situation in Guangyang has deteriorated. After Monk Zenzhi came, he first used the popularity of the people here, and then used the cause and effect to build the framework of his fifth-level pagoda, and then killed Guangyang with one against three. Sima expelled the prefect and suppressed Sikong underground, not daring to show his face. "

"As for Guangyang Situ, who was only in the eighth grade, he was easily made into a puppet by using the heart-eating method after the incident. From then on, the political situation in Guangyang was his voice. He hid behind the scenes and relied on the power of Situ and Sima. Slowly explore the witchcraft inheritance method for him."

"However, both Situ and Sima were eaten by him, and their memories were also devoured by him. After he cracked the witchcraft method, he began to gradually try it. This is our opportunity."

Li Qi said.

Zhang Lan, who was still listening to the situation, was stunned when he heard this.

Why did you suddenly get the chance? Aren't we still talking about the situation of Zen Zhi monk?

"Brother Zhang may not know, but I do know that whether it is Guangyang Sima or Situ, the witchcraft in their hands is the art of witchcraft!" Li Qi said firmly.

He was sure of this. At the node of the original landscape formation, where Huangshan Jun was, he could clearly see that the construction method of the landscape formation was completely the art of witchcraft.

This has been determined.

"The art of witchcraft has completely gone astray. It has basically abandoned the method of balancing the way of heaven, so it is of no use to him in getting rid of the evil thoughts in his heart. It is precisely because of this that he will focus on me."

"I have done good deeds everywhere along the way. I have left too many names with sacrifices and have been too high-profile, so Monk Zen Zhi discovered me early. He placed his hope in me, hoping to get the orthodox witchcraft method from me, and for He balanced the mind of Buddha and demon, planned the scene of suppressing the pass, and tricked me step by step to take the initiative to create a method for him. To be honest, Brother Zhang was involved because of my involvement. "

Zhang Lan shook his head: "This man put hundreds of thousands of people to death for his own selfishness. He really deserves to be killed! As for whether he is involved or not, don't say that. Even without you, in that situation, I will go up too, there is no need to be involved, but you haven’t said where our opportunity is yet.”

Li Qize got to the point: "The opportunity lies in the art of witchcraft. There is no way to sacrifice in the art of witchcraft!"

"The sacrificial method of witchcraft has been transformed into a method of raising voodoos and monsters, and is no longer an orthodox sacrifice. In other words, Monk Zenzhi is incapable of completing a sacrifice on his own."

When Li Qi said this, he looked at Zhang Lan, who had a confused expression on his face, and began to explain:

"Brother Zhang, do you still remember when we fought together and wanted to take away the two eighth-grade people from the people?"

Zhang Lan recalled it for a while and said, "Of course I remember it. I seemed to have said it later, what did you say it was... the rat soil grave."

Li Qi slapped the table: "Yes, it's the Rat Tomb!"

"Brother Zhang, does he know the legend of the Rat Tomb?"

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

"The Rat Tomb is a strange beast from the Buddhist kingdom. It likes to offer incense. According to my speculation, it was brought by the Zen Zhi Monk. However, the Rat King in the Rat Tomb is at least the seventh grade, so it cannot be affiliated with the Zen Zhi Monk. It is possible that he traveled with Zen Zhi and came to the place where the witch path is."

"According to the legend, the Rat Soil Tomb likes to be worshipped. There is a record in the Records of the Western Regions that 'therefore, from the king to the common people, all worship and pray for blessings. They walk to the grave, ride on the horse, pay respect, and offer sacrifices to pray for blessings. They may offer clothes, bows and arrows, or incense, flowers, and food, which is also a sign of sincerity, and they will receive many blessings. If they do not enjoy the sacrifice, they will encounter disasters.' This shows their nature!"

Sacrifice to pray for blessings, and receive many blessings.

If they do not enjoy the sacrifice, they will encounter disasters.

These two sentences have clearly explained the nature of the Rat Soil Tomb.

All this knowledge was told to him by Shen Shuibi. It seems that Chanzhi could not have known in advance that Li Qi could know this!

Zhang Lan listened to Li Qi's words and suddenly realized it!

He stood up in surprise and clapped his hands happily: "Monk Chanzhi has no power of sacrifice, but Brother Li does! You want to use the power of the Rat Soil Tomb to let the evil monk suffer the consequences?! Great plan, great plan! But how is Brother Li going to implement this?"

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

Zhang Lan suppressed his excitement and doubts and sat down to continue listening to Li Qi.

He could see that this young master of Wushen Mountain was probably not good at martial arts, but he was ten times better than him in intelligence and scheming!

He went to Guangyang and even wrote him a letter on the way back, which shows that the reaction of the monk Chanzhi had been in his calculations.

Now he easily took down two major forces in Guangyang City, one grain alliance and one lower nine gates, which basically included more than 80% of the underground forces in Guangyang.

Although the people on the official stage seemed to have nothing to do with him, who knew if someone who was his would suddenly pop up?

And all this, he had only been here for ten days, and he had easily achieved this, and he did not use any of Wushen Mountain's resources.

In fact, his goal was to tangle with a terrifying seventh-rank, and even kill him

Are all the young masters of Wushen Mountain like this?

Only such people can be selected?

While Zhang Lan was excited, he could not see through Li Qi, who had always been on good terms with him and had no airs at all.

However, Li Qi did not seem to notice this change, and just continued: "This is the purpose of calling you here, Brother Zhang. Let's continue to talk about 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, so most of the underground forces have been mobilized recently, which are not noticed by the official."

"So, I need an official figure, a figure who can speak openly in Guangyang, that is you, Brother Zhang. You are the sword master of Zhengjian Palace, chivalrous and upright, with a bright identity, just right to do this."

"Take some people from the rivers and lakes, and bring some official forces, preferably the army, to the Devouring Heaven Demon Nest!"

"I want you to help me--"

"Contact the Rat Soil Tomb! Tell them that the person who really understands sacrifice is not Monk Chanzhi, but me."
