Chapter 140: Bonds
Of course, Qi Xuansu had considered it.
Objectively, Zhou Mengyao may be good at planning, but she must not be good at divination, so there are too many things she didn't expect, she was deceived by Qi Niang, cut off by the Heavenly Master, and finally smashed.
Since this is the case, Zhou Mengyao may not be able to lay out in advance. In other words, even if the layout is laid out in advance, it will not be too detailed, and it is likely to be just a temporary rush.
Because Zhou Mengyao couldn't have been sure that Qi Xuansu would come to this sea area a long time ago, she didn't have the ability of a Heavenly Master or a Purple Light True Monarch, which was called a specialization in the art industry.
Replaced by the latter two, Qi Xuansu inevitably muttered in his heart, could they have expected it many years ago, and then laid out for many years, considering all kinds of possibilities, they have already been in the net and will never be able to escape.
Of course, the Heavenly Master and the Purple Light True Monarch want to tell Qi Xuansu that it is not that simple, the past is unchanged, the future is uncertain, and the future has infinite possibilities, even if you see a scaly claw, you can't be gullible.
This is the biggest problem in predicting the future, you can only see some fragments, there is no above, there is no next, the rest can only be guessed.
For example, Qi Xuansu saw a scene in the future, Zhang Yuelu killed him with a sword, there was no cause or result, only this fragment. So Qi Xuansu began to have all kinds of suspicions, causing disharmony between the husband and wife. In the end, after Qi Xuansu arrived at that point in time, he found that the Zhang Yuelu he saw was actually pretended by Zhou Mengyao.
Or how to say that it is unpredictable.
Judging from various circumstances, Zhou Mengyao is not good at divination. Her time is quite limited, there is no advance layout, she can only take one step at a time. After all, Qi Xuansu will come here, and he is somewhat improvised.
If this is a trap, then can Zhou Mengyao trust a cunning old dragon in such a short period of time? An old dragon that almost died at the hands of the people of the Daomen.
At first glance, the old dragon should have a lot of revenge motives, in fact, it is difficult to say. It is more likely that the old Jiaolong was frightened, let alone revenge, and just wanted to stay away from everything in the Daomen.
Zhou Mengyao is a Daomen immortal, and Qi Xuansu is one of the future successors of Daomen.
The old Jiaolong will not fail to understand a truth, a Jiaolong who bears the original sin on the side of the Daomen is involved in the internal fighting of the Daomen, no matter who wins or loses, no matter what the result is, it is the best scapegoat, no exceptions.
If the two sides decide to compromise, then Lao Jiaolong is an explanation to all aspects.
The Daomen will not let it go.
What about profit? Without talking about revenge, there are almost none, Qi Xuansu has a lot of good things on him, but they all belong to the Daomen, and the Daomen will not let him go out.
Even if Lao Jiaolong wants revenge, unless Lao Jiaolong can take down both Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu, there must be a Daoist who will benefit, and it seems that there is no revenge.
In this case, the probability that Lao Jiaolong believes in Zhou Mengyao and cooperates with Zhou Mengyao to act in a play is really not large.
Of course, it cannot be said that Zhou Mengyao will be indifferent.
Even if the dragon-blooded man's story is true, she can also come to a clam and crane to compete for the fisherman's profit.
It is right to seek stability, but we should not seek stability too much, and we dare not even have the slightest sense of adventure.
In addition, Qi Xuansu's greatest confidence still comes from the "Returning Lamp", and so far, this immortal thing has not had any warning.
In the past, the "Returning Lantern" has successfully predicted the intention of Huen Ah Khan, as well as the fall of Kukulkan and the resurrection of Itsumna, which is very reliable.
Therefore, after combining various factors, Qi Xuansu thought that he could give it a try.
Qi Xuansu looked at Utu and Huen Ahan: "Knowing yourself and knowing that you have won a hundred battles, which of you will go and see for yourself?" ”
Utu took the initiative to ask: "I'll go, even if there is any accident, I can be reborn in the realm of the goddess." ”
Qi Xuansu immediately added: "Okay, if the worst happens, no matter how much divine power is needed, it will come out of the Dao Gate, and the goddess will not suffer." ”
Utu's confidence is even stronger.
This was also deliberately said to Sun Jiatu.
Sun Jiatu looked quite happy, which meant that Qi Xuansu basically agreed.
Utu's body began to change, no longer in a black-robed image, but into an immortal with dragon scales.
The method of transfiguration is what Fang Shi and Wu Zhu are best at.
With Utu's realm cultivation, as long as he is not in front of the old dragon, he should not be spied on.
"Let's go." Utu and Sun Jiatu left Qi Xuansu's room.
Qi Xuansu walked to the window and looked out.
A short time later, the figures of the two appeared on the deck outside.
Qi Xuansu watched the two leave, and Huen Ah Khan stood behind Qi Xuansu: "It's a bit too coincidental." ”
Qi Xuansu said: "I've been thinking just now, these dragon scales can't be faked, and most of the things about the old dragon are true." Although it is difficult for Zhou Mengyao to gain the trust of the old Jiaolong, and it is probably impossible to join forces with the old Jiaolong to set us up, Zhou Mengyao can deliberately leak our news to these immortals, so that the immortals take the initiative to come to us and lure us to find trouble with the old Jiaolong, while she lurks on the side, waiting for the opportunity to move, and the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind. ”
Huen Ah Khan pondered for a moment: "There is indeed this possibility, why didn't the real person ask Sun Jiatu just now?" ”
Qi Xuansu said: "There is no point, Zhou Mengyao will definitely not come forward in person, but create some kind of coincidence, so that Sun Jiatu and these immortals will learn of our existence by accident." ”
Huen Khan said, "If this is the case, why should the real people agree? ”
Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, and reached out to press the scar at the center of his eyebrows that had not disappeared yet: "I'm a little tired, things have to be solved, and escaping is not the way." ”
Huena Khan understood, and said no more.
To sum it up, it is four words, and it will be calculated.
Qi Xuansu is not good at "sneaking his head down", he still likes to take risks in his bones.
To be realistic, it will take a long time for Qi Xuansu to be promoted to immortal, and during this period, he will also release the Dao Mansion, as the lord of the First Mansion, will he hide in the Dao Palace all day long and dare not see people? How can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves.
It is better to take advantage of the fact that he is still the plenipotentiary envoy of the Daomen, and he can mobilize all kinds of resources and find an opportunity to teach Zhou Mengyao a lesson. When he became a real person, he might not have so many resources on Daomen's own territory.
To put it bluntly, special periods and special circumstances gave Qi Xuansu such a large authority, and he also had the right not to expire and invalidate.
If Zhou Mengyao avoided Qi Xuansu, then it would indeed be difficult for Qi Xuansu to find her, and since Zhou Mengyao took the initiative to jump out, it also made Qi Xuansu worry-free.
It's a two-way street.
This is the bond between master and apprentice.
There is an island overseas, and the insects call it Blue Cloud Island, because the sea is blue, and the white waves are like clouds, just like the sky.
It's very secluded and not on normal routes, so it's hard to spot.
Still, there was an uninvited guest.
The woman took off the hat that was a little in the way, and dressed as an ordinary woman, covered with a dark green armor. The so-called bijia is a long waistcoat without sleeves, up to the knee level, which is unisex. It's a very common home dress.
The woman's face is also slightly powdered, her face is as white as snow, her eyebrows are in the sideburns, and her lips are red and beautiful. The eyes are deep, and they are even more unangry and powerful.
This is not to say that women still have to use fat powder to cover up any shortcomings, it is simply a matter of habit. It's like you don't have to eat after Bigu, but many times you have to hold a feast, and the power of inertia is huge.
She walked on the island, as if no one was around, without a little cover, but the people around her were unaware of it, as if she did not exist, and ignored it.
Soon, the woman came to the bottom of a cliff, where there was a large stone, which had been sharpened into the shape of a chessboard, on which were placed a number of chess pieces also carved out of stone, which turned out to be an endgame.
On the left side of the board sat a short, thin old man with white hair and beard.
He was also the first person on the island to be able to see a woman.
The old man was originally staring at the endgame, but instead stared at the woman, not panicking: "The real person is coming, and it is far away." ”
"I'm not a real person." The woman spoke, "You can just call me Zhou Mengyao." ”
The old man nodded: "Mr. Zhou is here, what do you have to say?" Is it to play against Xiao Lao'er? ”
Zhou Mengyao said: "I'm not good at 'heavenly calculations', I'm afraid I can't break this endgame." ”
The old man said: "If you use 'heavenly calculation' to play chess, it will not be interesting. ”
Zhou Mengyao said: "I also know something about insect people, but it's the first time I've seen insect people like you." ”
The old man smiled: "If an egg swallows my stomach, my life will no longer be up to me." After the cocoon formation stage, the cocoon will give birth to many insect filaments, which will penetrate deep into the host's internal organs, spine, and brain, further control the host's body, and change the host's thinking. The cocoon formation period is also known as the cocoon formation period. ”
"The greater danger of the Dan period comes from 'going mad', a small number of hosts will realize that they have actually suffered from parasitism when they are modified in their bodies, and the worms call this situation a mental demon illusion, and realizing the truth is going mad."
"Because after the host is out of the control of the larvae, it will develop fear and anger at these parasitic bugs, and then slaughter other bugs, so the bugmen call the so-called people who go mad are people of the devil's way."
"However, there are still some people who choose to lie dormant temporarily, still disguise themselves as ordinary insect people on the surface, secretly try to use the power of insects, but are not controlled by them, or kill other insect people, and use the insects in other insects to refine their own cultivation, this is the best of the people of the Demon Dao, and they can be regarded as the big devil or the giant of the Demon Dao."
"According to the standards of the worm man, the old man is a pure demon man, the big devil, and this demon man also took advantage of the decline of the worm man to mix into the high-level of the worm man and become a high-ranking elder."
Zhou Mengyao smiled when he heard this: "It's interesting, the insect people call the people of the Dao Sect the people of the Demon Dao, and what kind of Demon Sect, Demon Venerable, and Demon Saint are also separated, I didn't expect that the insect people who discovered the truth are also the people of the Demon Dao, aren't these poor insect people living in a huge lie?" Life is born without knowing why, and death is dying without knowing why. ”
The old man said: "It can be said that they are not even poor people, they are veritable poor worms. ”
