Chapter 868: Falling Behind Step by Step
The thunder not only shook the soul, but also disturbed the mind.
If it were in the past, Zhang Nan would only see it as an accident and as his own impulse. But now he is playing against the sky, killing every step of the way, and there can be no luck at all, let alone ignore any possible details.
It is unknown whether Zhang Nan is unfounded, but it is true that some people have already targeted him.
A green hill stands in the mist. The small river at the foot of the mountain, the birds and flowers on the mountainside. On the top of the mountain, you can see the white jade building, reflecting the glow of the sky, and there is more fairy music.
This mountain is called Yunwu Mountain, which is located in Qingzhou in the northern region, but no one has seen it for 10,000 years, and no one even knows the existence of this mountain.
In the white jade building on the top of the mountain, a statue of a god, a table of incense, a futon, and a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi are elegant. If the middle-aged man wasn't lying on the futon and vomiting blood, this picture should be very meaningful.
The idol suddenly glowed with a burst of white light, separated into three colors, turned into three figures, and stood in front of the middle-aged man in green clothes.
The figure is really just a shadow, and the facial features can only be seen in a general outline. The shadows did not fluctuate at all, but the three of them stood there, giving people the feeling of being as thick as a mountain.
"Hey......"
"It's really ......"
"How can you be so stupid......"
Looking at the middle-aged man who vomited blood, the three figures shook their heads at the same time.
"What are you three doing here!" the middle-aged man raised his head with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you here to see my jokes?"
"Even through the idol, the possession of the spirit cannot be used lightly. The shadow in the middle said: "We are not so idle, but we will not make a special trip to spend such a mind for you." β
The shadow on the left said: "We are just curious, why did you leak the heavenly secrets, so as to incur a thunder punishment." β
The shadow on the right said: "If it's a newcomer, it's fine, but it's somewhat incomprehensible to appear on you." The first time you were in charge of the killing robbery 10,000 years ago, there was no such accident. Why is this time so sloppy?"
"I'm not angry with that kid yet. The middle-aged man seemed to have eased up a little, and said angrily: "I think that kid is not only evading responsibility, but also has unrealistic and naΓ―ve thoughts." Before, it just felt like he wasn't growing, but now it seems that he might be deliberately causing trouble. β
"What do you mean?" the shadow on the left voice said with confusion, "He has a different idea about killing?"
The middle-aged man didn't seem to bother to explain, and raised his hand to pop out three light clusters, shooting into the bodies of the three shadows.
"Fool who doesn't know what to do. The shadow in the middle was very angry: "The dignified and powerful person is still in the same state of mind as a layman." β
"It's naΓ―ve, but it's okay. The shadow on the right said: "Before, he hid his cultivation to deceive the heavens, but this time the thunder tribulation warning is equivalent to breaking the disguise." β
"Not bad. The shadow on the left said: "If he is smart enough, it's okay to leave Qingzhou for refuge." But if you really have a different mind, want to find another way, or even break tens of thousands of years of rules, you will only bring about your own destruction. β
"Don't underestimate this man. The middle-aged man shook his head: "You have lived in seclusion, and you haven't paid your attention to the world for too long. Looking at his past actions, there are often unexpected moves. There can be no fluke in killing, and now that there are variables, we cannot ignore them. β
The three shadows were silent for a while, and they had no objection to the middle-aged man's words.
"Don't you want us to make a move?" said the shadow in the middle, "You should know that it's not that we don't want to, but we can't." β
"There's no need to really get involved. The middle-aged man said: "This time the plot is in Qingzhou, you don't have to interfere here." But I hope that in other states, there will be some wind and waves. In case something happens to Qingzhou, we won't be helpless. When the time comes, whether to attract the strong to come from outside, or to find another battlefield, it will not be too passive. β
The three shadows pondered for a moment, and then all of them agreed. After a few more brief exchanges, he turned into a streamer and disappeared into the statue again.
The middle-aged man sat on the ground for a while, then got up and stood up, raised his hand and wiped it in front of him, and many scenes appeared.
Among them is Zhang Nan, who has just found a hiding place and is helping Situ Xiazhen heal. There is also Zhang Nan in Chu Yunguo, lying on the bed. There is also Qin Qianqiu, the Great Qin State Master who fell in the reeds and has not yet woken up. There are also other strong and powerful leaders in Qingzhou, such as Sword Tower, Emperor Mountain, Chu Yunguo...... Wait a minute.
The middle-aged man's pupils fluttered rapidly at a strange frequency, and almost all the key places in Qingzhou were in full view. The layout for killing and robbery is not a temporary idea, it requires long-term planning.
Qin Qianqiu's divination technique has actually always been a middle-aged man's trouble. Even the teleportation array of the Southern Tang Dynasty demons and the heroic spirit bracelet of King Liang of Great Chu have a direct or indirect relationship with middle-aged people.
If he wants to cause trouble in Qingzhou, he naturally has to start the layout early. Whether it is the demons of the Southern Tang Dynasty or the King of Great Chu Liang back then, they are all dark thunders buried by middle-aged people.
Although Zhang Nan seemed to have arranged all these mines by mistake, it didn't matter to the middle-aged people, because the ultimate goal was not affected. Even because of Zhang Nan's crazy moves, it has achieved unexpected results.
The Southern Tang Dynasty was in full swing, Chu Yun's internal politics were unstable, and later he formed a coalition army to grab land everywhere, which was very satisfying to the middle-aged people. The only accident, that is, the fall of Wansheng Mountain, made him lose a very good chess piece. If there is still a Thousand Saints Mountain with a thousand leaves, middle-aged people may not use Qin Qianqiu's move.
Zhang Nan is not a pawn in the eyes of middle-aged people, but an unsuccessful successor. Now that this successor is disobedient, he can only be a pawn.
The middle-aged man first pinched a law decision and woke up Qin Qianqiu. At the same time, he did something to make Qin Qianqiu feel more inexplicably anxious.
After waking up, Qin Qianqiu was at a loss for a moment, but soon his face changed suddenly, and he quickly returned to Xianyang City.
Qin Qianqiu's face was gloomy, and his eyes were even more anxious.
The war against Chu Yun and Southern Tang was originally intended to wait for two or three months, when all countries were ready, and then attack at the same time. But after Situ Xiazhen escaped, he was attacked by someone and fell unconscious, and Qin Qianqiu felt unprecedented uneasiness in his heart.
He is a powerhouse in the reincarnation realm, and someone can knock him down silently. In his impression, there are only two people who have such skills.
One was the Lord of the Sword Tower, and the other was the last person he wanted to see.
The arrow had to be fired, and even if the man did come back, this battle would have to be fought. Qin Qianqiu had already gambled with his life, so he didn't care about betting more on the possibility of Zhang Nan directly intervening in the dynastic war.
The middle-aged man watched Qin Qianqiu return to Xianyang City and went directly to the military department, so he withdrew his gaze.
Before Zhang Nan and Situ Xia Zhen returned, the war was launched in advance. Even if the main forces of both sides are not there, the border army will first burn the flames of war.
Then, the middle-aged man glanced at Situ Xia Zhen again.
He knew that now Situ Xia was really Zhang Nan in his body, and there was no one in Qingzhou who could help it. However, it's also good to fill in some trouble. As long as you hold on for a moment, you will have one more chance of victory.
"This place ......" The middle-aged man thought for a moment, and raised his hand to summon an image: "The main altar of the Dark Witch Sect is very close to here." β
The Black Witch Sect can be called the Demon Sect of Qingzhou in the Northern Regions. Although there are not many sect members, each cultivator is ruthless. The reason why he was not killed by other sects was that the sect leader Three Holy Ancestors were very aware of current affairs and had always restrained his subordinates.
However, in the past two years, the middle-aged man has also left a few hands on the Black Witch Sect and the Three Holy Ancestors. At this time, it comes in handy.
After a while, a group of black-robed people swarmed out of the main altar of the Black Witch Sect and went straight to Situ Xia Zhen's hiding place.
Except for releasing a main quest, Zhang Nan basically didn't do any specific work. Especially Chu Wenting's delay in accepting the task is almost equivalent to doing nothing. Now the other party has made moves one after another, but Zhang Nan has done nothing and is lagging behind step by step.
As soon as this game of chess started, Zhang Nan fell into passivity.
