Chapter 480: Impostor
The decision to wait and see what is happening is not because Wang Luo is radical, but because he is a very rational decision.
At this time, his perception of the outside world was only a hundred meters, so he didn't know what was going on in the middle of the lake. In this case, if you choose to walk blindly, the risks far outweigh the benefits.
On the one hand, he couldn't decide where to go at all, and returned to the Immortal League the same way, but he didn't know that there were no ambushes on the road? Continuing deeper into the southwest, what are the benefits compared to staying where you are?
After all, this is not the center of the storm, and rash action can be a fire.
On the other hand, it is too arbitrary to judge whether there is a true immortal present based solely on the level of energy and so on.
Not to mention that this place is already close to the Xinheng Dynasty, and Xinheng, as a testing ground for thousands of years in captivity by the Heavenly Court, is not unable to have some explosive means comparable to those of true immortals like the Immortal Alliance. A storm broke out in the middle of the lake, and maybe they were idle and adjusting their new weapons......
This crazy lake alone actually contains an unimaginable power of heaven and earth, and if it is detonated in the right way, it can also roll up a true immortal-level aura storm.
Therefore, it may not be a true immortal in the heavenly court, and there is no need to make a noise.
That was the only part left of the lake man who swam last night...... The upper part of the skull has dissolved in the water, leaving only the part related to the mouth, which is still pink.
However, the amount of information in the last words themselves is the greatest power.
Therefore, according to what the people in the lake said, now the empress dowager and the general of the Xinheng Dynasty have joined forces to oppose the surrender plan of the national teacher, and even do not hesitate to imprison and seal it in a way that is close to mutiny. Then, according to common sense, it can already be declared that Zhang Jincheng's surrender plan has been aborted.
In the second half of the night, the storm gradually subsided, and Wang Luo stood on the shore of the lake, already clearly feeling the tranquility of the entire lake. The strange beasts, which were visibly frightened and agitated in the storm, either stayed away or hibernated, making the surface of the great lake seem to be dead and silent.
It was only at this time that Wang Luo finally put away the many talismans around him with confidence, stepped onto the surface of the lake, walked calmly to the head, reached into his open mouth, and took out an invisible jade from it.
As the immortal officials of the Ming and Mo states, those seven people had a lot of dealings with the Xinheng Dynasty on weekdays - if it weren't for this, it would be difficult for Zhang Jincheng to have a chance to persuade them to turn their backs on the Heavenly Court and return to the Immortal Alliance.
However, the more we get to this point, the more we can't let our guard down. Standing still, Wang Luo cautiously expanded his perception little by little, gradually expanding the range of perception from 100 meters to 200 or 300...... Then he was surprised to hear the sound of water.
This is clearly intentional.
It was also at this time that Wang Luo noticed a little strangely that his oral condition was kept very intact, and his teeth, gums, tongue, and upper and lower jaws were almost pink and undamaged! In stark contrast, almost all of the man's skin was burned, and even half of his limbs and even half of his internal organs were lost in the lake.
These Heavenly Court Immortal Officials are limited to the constraints of the Immortal Law, and cannot interfere too deeply in mortal affairs. But on the other hand, as the managers of this huge testing ground, they will at least have a contour understanding of the new Heng Dynasty, and these cognitions have become a compulsory course before Wang Luo sets off.
That...... It's hard to call him a human being, he looks like a charred corpse dug out of the ruins of the fire, most of his body from the waist down is mutilated, only two pitch-black arms of different lengths, still trying to swing and stir the lake. And with each movement, there will be small fragments that fall off his arm and dissolve into the lake.
The reason why Zhang Jincheng dared to represent Xinheng with his own strength and surrender to the Immortal League was that when the national teacher really insisted on going his own way, no one could stop him except for the immortal official.
But all this did not stop the sound of the water that was getting closer and closer, on the contrary, the people in the water seemed to have received some encouragement and began to speed up.
It's a pity that Wang Luo couldn't wait for the next prompt, the man in the lake opened his mouth, and then died, leaving only a pink mouth, as if he was scratching his head and making a gesture to people, throwing out temptation.
Except for half a head that floats quietly on the surface of the lake.
Because he no longer had an arm capable of paddling, the last half of the stump left his body with a slight wave that came on his face. And almost at the same time, the disorderly beating heart in the chest cavity also dried up unwillingly. Obviously, no matter how solid the forging foundation is, it can't afford such a fatal injury. And without the support of his physical body, his remnant soul is even more difficult to sustain.
It was as if someone was swimming in the thick lake, and the sound of weak limbs lapping the waves was clearly approaching him from far and near!
And the shore of the Crazy Lake is obviously not within the borders of the New Heng Dynasty.
The distance of a few hundred meters was soon reached, and when there was still half of the candle left beside him, Wang Luo saw people swimming in the lake.
The influence of the national teacher in the court is unparalleled, because the combination of the empress dowager and the general must also be reasonable, politically and militarily. For meritorious people, we must not kill indiscriminately, and we must be humble to wise men and masters...... But the national teacher does not use it. All human truths are meaningless to him, he only needs to be responsible for the Heavenly Court Immortal Official, and the Immortal Official will crush all the truths. In the more than 600-year history of the Xinheng Dynasty, there are not a few powerful ministers and famous generals who fought with the national teacher and were finally turned into powder by a heavenly court immortal thunder, and even the example of physical abolition of the emperor is not uncommon.
Now the queen mother of the new Heng Dynasty was born in the north of Xinheng, and she is the famous Duke of Weiguo, and she is famous both inside and outside the court. And the general in charge of the imperial military power in the DPRK is also her relative and regards her as her mother...... Such an unreasonable alliance of strong and powerful has created the Queen Mother's almost deformed monopoly of power in the court. At least at this point in Zhang Jincheng's persuasion, two of the Seven Immortal Officials couldn't say the name of Emperor Xinheng, but each of them knew that Xinheng had a very difficult empress dowager......
As a testing ground specially selected by the Heavenly Court, the New Heng Dynasty should have no foreign enemies in the wasteland. But it is precisely for the purpose of experimentation, in order to imitate the situation of the Immortal Alliance, Heavenly Court deliberately set up a large number of foreign enemies for the Xinheng Dynasty - those roaring wasteland beasts want to destroy Xinheng almost all the time, and the Xinheng people do not have the Immortal Alliance's desolate enchantment to ensure the overall peace of the border, so if they want to survive for a long time, the Xinheng people have to become full of martial virtues.
Xinheng's national teacher is different from the national teacher in the general sense, the authority and fame of a national teacher do not come from how much political power he holds, how much trust he has from the royal family, or how superb his wisdom is, but from his monopoly on the communication channel with the heavenly court.
Baoyu was round and flawless, and the tentacles were cold, and the moment it fell into Wang Luo's palm, the floating head on the lake melted on the ground, and there was not even a trace of residue or color left, becoming a part of the blood and water of the lake.
In Baoyu, a young voice faintly came.
As the distance between the two people narrowed, the people in the water became more and more sluggish.
Two of the most powerful people in the land are against you, and why do you win?
The answer is: because he is a national teacher.
As long as he can befriend the Heavenly Court Immortal Officials, then the great Xinheng is just a plaything in the hands of the national teacher, in a sense, the national teacher almost holds the authority of the immortal level.
The only check and balance of the imperial court on the national teacher is that the national teacher has to report to the higher authorities with actual achievements...... If he abused his immortal power, he would eventually make the Xinheng Dynasty restless, and it would be difficult to achieve the purpose of the Heavenly Court's experiment...... Then once it is liquidated by the immortal officials, the methods of the immortals are enough to make people unable to survive and die.
It is also one of the most common means of getting rid of it.
It is known that the New Heng Dynasty was a fairly standard feudal imperial state, with the royal family ruling over the most fertile and fertile hinterland plains in Mingzhou, and many princes and lords guarded the surrounding areas...... For hundreds of years, there have been continuous wars, and peace is rare.
Immortal Fu Envoy, Queen Mother, General, Yin Xing Baoyu...... For a while, many words were connected in Wang Luo's mind, making the truth come out.
This man...... I'm afraid it can be regarded as being indirectly victimized by Wang Luo.
As a result, the eyes wrapped in a scorched face gradually dimmed and lost their luster little by little...... Eventually, as if the light had returned, he struggled to keep his eyes open and open his mouth.
The new Heng National Master is the only mortal who can have a direct conversation with the Heavenly Court Immortal Official. Or conversely, the Heavenly Court will select one person from the New Heng Dynasty to serve as the only bridge between the two worlds of immortals and mortals, and the scientific name of this bridge is the National Teacher.
A new Hengren who has gone abroad? Why did he run to swim in the lake of blood? What seriously injured you here? What does the storm have to do with him?
With full vigilance and increasing curiosity, Wang Luo quietly waited for the man to swim ashore, and tried to trace the origin from the little desolation and spirit that remained in him, and soon came to a ridiculous conclusion.
After making a decision in his heart, Wang Luo silently sacrificed his talisman magic weapon and remained motionless in place, allowing time to pass bit by bit.
The man in the lake struggled to raise his head, trying to ask Wang Luo for help with his gaze. There was only a fifty meter distance between them, and even in the dangerous night wasteland, Wang Luo had enough means and enough certainty to fish him out of the water.
Wang Luo was indeed curious, but he was not moved at all, he just stood silently on the shore of the lake, letting the corpses in the lake float up and down with the waves, and every time they floated, the corpses in the water were obviously missing parts, as if there was some invisible scavenger in the water feasting. Or maybe the Mad Lake itself is the scavenger. But Wang Luo didn't mind at all, even if a clue that was undoubtedly quite important was about to be cut off in front of him, he didn't take it to heart.
There are some shadows of the old immortal era, but not much, but they reveal the characteristics of the immortal alliance everywhere. Although it is not completely certain to look at the remnants from a distance, these characteristics are too distinct, so eight or nine are not far from ten, this is a cultivator from the Xinheng Dynasty of Mingzhou.
This is also thanks to the Mixed Yuan Immortal of the Surrender Immortal Alliance, although he lost most of the memories of Heavenly Court in his mind when he crossed the Dinghuang Enchantment, but the memories of the New Heng Dynasty are still intact.
However, before turning into a charred corpse, he should have been a very powerful master, even if the eight veins of the Qi Jing had been burned and the true yuan of his body was almost scattered, the remaining part still showed an extremely solid foundation for cultivation.
Wang Luo waited until dawn, and when the whole world turned from yin to yang, he finally took a step forward and walked towards the lake.
The crazy lake in the early morning seems to be purified by the morning light cast by the Lingshan Mountain, and it has become a little clearer, but the lake surface that is too calm is undoubtedly an undisguised camouflage. A true immortal-level storm broke out in the middle of the lake last night, and now there is no trace left.
From this point of view, Zhang Jincheng's radicalism is not wrong, but the problem is that in the actual implementation process, the cooperation between the national teacher and the immortal official is a little flawed.
For hundreds of years, despite the supremacy of Xinheng's imperial power, the royal family has actively promoted the centralization of power. But there are still families on the border who control powerful military forces. In this regard, the royal family has to cherish its strength and guard against its ambitions, and often uses various means to entrap it. Among them, marriage is one of the most common means.
Wang Luo's heart froze, and he immediately stopped the expansion of his perception, and then slowly used his divine sense to probe into the treasure bag, and sacrificed the magic weapons that were enough to carry the true immortals. And the priceless Molin candle was violently lit early, and the incense mist was thick.
But Wang Luo didn't move, just stood quietly on the shore, as if he didn't care about the life and death of the people in the lake.
Just now, he used the ink linqi incense to drive away a strange beast that was at least a merge level, and the direction in which the strange beast left happened to be on the walking track of the man in the lake. Under the encounter between the two phases, the latter's strength was far inferior to that of the alien beast, and he should have died, but he had a magic weapon that destroyed the world and destroyed the world. Under the stimulus, the strange beast disappeared, and the people in the lake ran out of oil.
"Dear Immortal Fu Envoy, I'm sorry that I can only talk to you in such an undignified way. I understand your caution at night, but I also implore you to realize the seriousness of the situation as soon as possible when you get this treasure in the morning...... The queen mother and the general are stubborn, bent on going their own way, taking advantage of the national teacher to set a trap in the court, and after his return, he will be imprisoned and sealed, in a vain attempt to usurp the position of the star, and now the new Heng Dynasty is in danger, please make the immortal Fu Lord hold this seal star treasure jade as soon as possible, return to the eastern capital, and set things right! ”
In the end, Baoyuzhong's voice had become inaudible, and it was obvious that this was just the last words left by the people in the lake when they were dying, and they did not contain any power.
This is a young genius who is placed in the old immortal calendar era, and it is enough to make most of the famous and decent old men nod their heads in approval, and what makes Wang Luo care more than his cultivation talent is his specious broken Dao foundation.
He had obviously seen Wang Luo a long time ago, saw the candlelight lit by his side, and his perception was broader than Wang Luo's, so he had been deliberately approaching Wang Luo from a very early age. However, when the distance between the two sides was finally less than fifty meters, he stopped.
Before Zhang Jincheng had time to fully grasp the government and suppress the strong combination of the queen mother and the general, the immortal officials had already been mixed into one, and they would go to Zhou Guo to be a rich man!
This made Zhang Jincheng suddenly fall into passivity, what kind of national teacher is he without the support of immortal officials?
“…… No way, the immortal official can't be invited, it seems that only I, the immortal envoy, have come to support you. ”
