Chapter 426: Huangquan Mission
What is it that glows? It's definitely not that Zhang Jiao is going to become a god!
Actually, that's the light when the perfect stand-in is working, but it's just a moment's strong light, after the strong light, the person will be teleported to the designated place to complete a perfect death substitution, the problem is that now Zhang Jiao is a natural death, and the teleportation location designated by the stand-in is here, in this room, because this is the safest place for the giant deer.
The bright light is a little unexpected by everyone, everyone thinks that the duration of the strong light is a little long, in fact, the bigger is the psychological factor, the real time is only two seconds, one second of flash when transmitting, one second of flash when it is delivered, the reason why there is a light and shadow effect is to play a stopping effect, stop the surrounding attack action.
Because the people present were too nervous, they felt that the time was very long, but this illusion had no chance for them to correct it, because the light and shadow had completely disappeared, and Zhang Jiao, who was lying on the couch, was still pale and his eyes were closed, and there was absolutely no appearance of resurrection with full blood on the spot, which made Liu Yan very surprised and disappointed.
And the only ones who know the actual effect that this stand-in may have are Zhao Aier and Zhang Ning, their expressions are full of suppressed surprise, and there is more nervousness, why be nervous?
On Zhang Jiao's chest, a silk book appeared, so magically suspended in mid-air, less than a foot away from Zhang Jiao's chest, this scene is very weird, but Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan, who have been a little dull by a series of accidents, do not think that there is anything strange about this silk book, it seems that this silk book should be floating in mid-air. If it's honestly placed on Zhang Jiao's chest, it seems that it doesn't fit well with the scene and atmosphere in front of you!
Zhang Ning and Zhao Ai'er glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise and nervousness in each other's eyes, yes, this is just the beginning of the stand-in talisman.
When the stand-in charm is used on a person who died unnaturally, it will directly return the person to the designated place unharmed, of course. It has to be in the city. But what about people who died normally? Do stand-ins work, and how?
No one knows about this "Answer" case, because Fang Zhiwen has not used a stand-in charm for people who have died normally. However, Fang Zhiwen knew what would happen to the people whose names were engraved on Valhalla, and those who died normally. Around these normal dead people, there will be a mission, a rescue mission!
A mission to save the dead from the Yellow Springs, the Yellow Springs Mission!
And this task happened to Zhen Yan, in history, Zhen Yan died in the seventh year of Guanghe and died of illness! Therefore, Fang Zhiwen suddenly recruited Zhen Yan out of the office and asked him to be in charge of the affairs of Cangcao in Miyun City. In fact, it is to give him a chance to escape death and let him continue to stay in this great era, of course, more importantly, because he is Fang Zhiwen's eldest brother.
Yellow Springs missions can only be accepted by blood relatives, or those who are in a contractual relationship recognized by the gods. At that time, Zhen Yan's Huangquan mission was done by his mother herself, and the Huangquan mission had nothing to do with force and ability, but to test the willpower of the tasker. Fang Zhiwen also told Zhao Aier about the specific situation, but it is difficult to guarantee whether Zhang Jiao's use of the stand-in talisman will appear in the Huangquan mission, and I don't know if every Huangquan mission is the same, Fang Zhiwen tends to think that although the content of the task is different. But there should be no difference in the core purpose.
Zhen Yan's mother needs to face her eldest son in the mission, so Fang Zhiwen speculates that the Huangquan mission is to let the tasker face the things he fears or dare not face the most, only by overcoming the deepest fear in his heart and crossing the reality that he dare not face the most, and then he can break through, the price of the failure of the Huangquan mission is not only the hopelessness of resurrection, but also the death of the tasker.
Therefore, before Zhang Jiao died, he spent a huge price to get the perfect stand-in, but Zhang Jiao did not dare to guarantee whether this stand-in charm could have the desired effect, and he did not dare to guarantee that if there was a Huangquan mission, his brother would not risk his life to save himself, or would take the opportunity to do something even more unimaginable.
Therefore, Zhang Jiao summoned a few of his most trusted people, arranged the backhand, around this house, stationed the most loyal guards, the commander is Zhou Cang, as long as Zhao Aier or Zhang Ning order, none of the people here want to get out alive, as for why Liu Yan is present, it is precisely because only Zhang Jiao is alive that Liu Yan's interests will be maximized, Zhang Jiao is dead, Liu Yan will not have as much power as now if he follows Zhao Aier or this Zhang Yan.
As for Zhang Yan, although Zhang Jiao had the intention of entrusting Gu to pass on the throne just now, Zhang Yan himself knew very well that if Zhang Jiao died now, the Yellow Turban Army would only split, and it would be absolutely impossible for him to control the entire Yellow Turban Army, and as long as Zhang Jiao continued to live, as his righteous son, and was the designated successor, it was more likely that he would slowly control the entire Yellow Turban Army, even if Zhang Jiao could really never die, Zhang Yan would slowly grow into the second person of the Yellow Turban Army.
What's more, Zhang Yan has not yet reached the point where he can do everything for the sake of power, of course, there are Zhang Niujiao here, as well as Zhao Ai'er, and Zhang Ning, and Zhou Cang outside the palace, if he has any dissenting intentions, these people who are extremely loyal to Zhang Jiao will definitely not let themselves kill their father to take the throne.
Therefore, Zhang Jiao arranged these people who sincerely hoped that they were alive and could benefit from the fact that they were alive to protect themselves, and they also concealed the truth of their physical condition from their own brothers.
And what Zhang Jiao didn't know was what the person doing the task would face, because it was just Fang Zhiwen's speculation, so Zhao Aier didn't tell Zhang Jiao that if Zhang Jiao knew that his daughter would face the deepest fear in her own heart, Zhang Jiao might not agree to Zhang Ning to do this task, or he would rather fight for his brotherhood, although he knew that it was basically not very reliable.
What is Zhang Ning's greatest fear? Zhang Jiao knew very well that what Zhang Jiao did when he was young was very dangerous, because he wanted to confront the world, so he hid his family very secretly, but no matter how secret things were, they couldn't escape the eyes of the thieves.
Therefore, Zhang Ning was only five years old at the time, Zhang Jiao's family hiding in the mountain village, old and young, wives and children were killed cleanly, and Zhang Ning was hidden in the water tank by her mother and escaped, Zhang Ning at a young age watched her mother and brother being brutally killed by a group of men in black, cutting off their heads one by one, and then burning their homes to the ground with a fire, this is the deepest fear in her heart.
When Zhang Jiao got the news and rushed back, he found his almost stupid daughter from the water tank filled with half a jar of water, Zhang Jiao himself almost went crazy, and then, he hid this secret deeply, except for Zhao Ai'er, who was responsible for taking care of Zhang Ning later, no one knew that Zhang Jiao's biological daughter was still alive, not even his two brothers.
If Zhang Jiao knew that his most beloved and guilty daughter would face the fearful scene he experienced when he was a child for himself, Zhang Jiao would never agree, because he had never given Zhang Ning anything, only constantly owed her.
Zhang Ning under everyone's gaze, the beautiful face did not have the usual immaturity and shyness, looked very decisive and confident, slowly raised the slender palm, Zhang Ning steadily grabbed the silk book floating above Zhang Jiao's body, and looked at Zhao Ai'er again, who was like his own mother, and slowly lowered his head and unfolded the silk book.
Zhao Aier looked at Zhang Ning nervously, although Liu Yan didn't quite understand what the silk book was, but guessed that it had something to do with the stand-in, as for Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan, they were a little inexplicable looking at the silent communication between Zhang Ning and Zhao Aier, and were also infected by the solemn looks of these two people, just now the mood of the two of them changed from sad and helpless, to stunned and inexplicable, and then to the current expectation and tension, in which the change of emotions is not not intense, fortunately, both of them are from the battlefield, and their hearts are very tenacious, otherwise the emotions will definitely get out of control.
Everyone's eyes were unconsciously attracted by the slowly unfolding silk book, and finally the silk book was completely opened, only to see that on the unfolded silk book, a line of blood-red big characters 'Huangquan Road' did not wait for the surrounding people to show surprise or doubt, Zhang Ning had already chosen the task to start, a faint halo wrapped Zhang Ning's figure, gradually faded, and finally disappeared together with the task scroll.
Not to mention what kind of difficulties and situations Zhang Ning will face, Zhao Aier knows that it is useless to worry about it now, everything can only rely on Zhang Ning's own will, if you live, you will have both, and if you lose, you will die, this is really a road to Huangquan!
Zhao Ai'er sighed, turned her head and explained to the surprised and inexplicable people: "It is a resurrection mission, people who die naturally will have a chance to resurrect after using a certain anti-heaven prop, this opportunity must be completed by relying on their blood relatives or contractual relationships, if it succeeds, the dead will be resurrected, and if it fails, both will die1."
"What! Does the stepfather know? Zhang Niujiao's eyes widened in surprise, and he subconsciously questioned and rushed out.
Zhao Ai'er looked sideways at Zhang Jiao, who was silent on the couch, and shook her head gently: "Shizun knows, however, Shizun doesn't know the detailed process of the mission, this task is very dangerous, after Ning'er knew, he begged me not to leak the details of the task to Shizun, Ning'er felt that this was the only thing she could do for her father." ”
Why not1 Zhang Yan sighed heavily, he immediately understood his father-in-law's thoughts, and at the same time felt a little touched by his father-in-law's trust in him: "We must stay here until the mission is over, and at the same time keep the news tightly sealed, let Zhou Cang tell the others and others, we are holding a closed-door meeting, the time is undecided, please keep your duties." ”
"Well, Niujiao, you go to herald 1 Zhao Ai'er nodded in response, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously looked at the place where Zhang Ning disappeared, I couldn't imagine that this usually cowardly and shy little girl, who doesn't drop the chain at a critical moment, actually has superhuman courage and strength in her small body, but I don't know what the so-called danger is?! ~!
