Do not die

Thinking about the choice of "Uncle Zheng", a word naturally appeared in Meng Zhou's mind.

If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.

In order to take a further step on the path of spiritual practice, even if "I" was "not myself", even if he had to completely merge with the soul of another man, he took a step forward without hesitation.

Meng Zhou thought to himself that he would absolutely not be able to accept either of these two obstacles.

Meng Zhou put himself into the situation of "Uncle Zheng" and finally came to the conclusion that he would rather wait quietly for his own deadline than use the secret technique of "lawfulness of gods, humans and gods".

"Does this mean that my determination to follow the Tao is far less firm than that of 'Uncle Zheng'?"

Meng Zhou suddenly had such an idea in his heart.

But soon, Meng Zhou woke up from this "reflection".

Because this assumption itself is meaningless.

For me now, I can never fall into the same situation as "Uncle Zheng" before. This is an unshakable fact.

It is impossible for me to truly understand the despair, fear, struggle, and suffering.

Therefore, he can never know what choice he will make in that situation.

The so-called "putting yourself in someone else's shoes" is just a facade of a game.

Since the hypothesis itself is meaningless, the conclusions drawn from it naturally have no practical value.

Meng Zhou's heart was filled with unknown thoughts, but his expression did not reveal anything strange.

"Can you elaborate on Lian Ziling's plan?" Bald Meng Zhou asked.

"Don't you already know it very well?!" Nascent Soul of "Kou Chong" lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, seemingly respectfully replying.

The smile on the lips of "Bald Meng Zhou" faded slightly, and he stared at Nascent Soul sitting obediently on top of "Kou Chong" in front of him, without saying a word.

Under the invisible pressure, the little Nascent Soul's aura was clearly showing signs of being scattered. "Bald Meng Zhou" then gathered his wits and said calmly:

"I want to hear what you have to say!"

"Kou Chong" Yuanying was completely honest and honestly explained:

"A long time ago, I had a premonition that I would not be able to advance to the realm of Nascent Soul on my own in this life.

Therefore, I started planning for my future after forming a pill very early.

Because of the good opportunity and the fact that I have been immersed in a large number of ancient books all year round, I have learned a lot of secrets that have been annihilated and have not been passed down, and I have also gained a lot of secrets and magic.

Finally, I fell in love with the ‘Secret Method of Surrogate Baby’. "

"Bald Meng Zhou" who had been listening quietly suddenly interrupted and said:

"Why did you choose this secret method? As far as I know, this secret method does not allow people to truly achieve the Yuanying. It only allows people to have power comparable to the Yuanying."

"There is still a field of vision." "Kou Chong," Yuanying suddenly added.

Then after a pause, "Kou Chong" Yuanying continued:

“The reason why secret methods are secret methods is not because they are powerful and magical, but because compared with the true right path, every secret method has fatal flaws.

The ‘Secret Method of Baby Surrogacy’, relatively speaking, has the smallest price and is the most acceptable to me. "

Just as he was talking, Nascent Soul, who was sitting cross-legged on top of "Kou Chong", glanced at "Bald Meng Zhou". In his eyes, the complex emotions were so rich that they almost condensed into water drops.

“Moreover, this is a secret method involving Nascent Soul!

It was a fluke that I was able to obtain the 'Secret Technique of Substituting Infants' and 'The Legalization of Heaven, Humans and Gods' at the same time.

You don’t think I can just pick and choose like I want to buy groceries, do you? "

"..."

Meng Zhou nodded lightly, feeling that what "Kou Chong" Yuanying said made sense. He also understood the complex emotions in his eyes. They were saying that he was a full man and didn't know when a hungry man was hungry. He stood and talked without pain in his back. .

"Kou Chong" Yuanying continued:

"Furthermore, the 'Secret Method of Baby Surrogacy' actually has another advantage."

"What advantage?"

"If it does not truly achieve the Nascent Soul, then it will naturally not be restricted by the rules of the 'Xingxiu Tianchi'."

Meng Zhou suddenly realized that in this way, the original rule of "Xingxiu Tianchi" - "Before the death of the Nascent Soul that originally activated and used the "Xingxiu Tianchi", no new Nascent Soul will be born in Xingxiu Sea." This restriction will naturally become invalid.

As long as he can complete the preparatory preparations for performing the "Secret Technique of Surrogate Infant", "Uncle Zheng" can perform this secret technique anytime and anywhere to achieve "Infant Surrogacy".

Moreover, because the "surrogate infant" is not the Nascent Soul, naturally there is no Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

"Uncle Zheng" who has quietly become a "surrogate infant", who has combat power and vision comparable to that of an infant, will turn into a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

Thinking about it this way, Meng Zhou felt that he could already mourn for the Nascent Soul Lord standing in the bright light.

From this point of view, "Uncle Zheng's" original plan is actually very good, and it is very consistent with the character "aesthetics" that "Uncle Zheng" has always shown - making silent progress in corners that everyone ignores, and being able to make progress at any time when necessary Bare your deadly fangs.

It's a pity that the subsequent development did not follow the path envisioned by "Uncle Zheng".

"Kou Chong" Yuanying continued:

“Although the cost of using the ‘Secret Technique of Substituting Infants’ is not as big as the ‘Law of Heaven, Man and God’, it is still there after all, and it also takes a long time.

I don't want to bear such a price, nor do I want to spend a lot of time on it, so I just want to find someone to do it for me.

After picking and choosing, I chose Lian Ziling..."

Speaking of this, "Kou Chong" Yuanying suddenly let out a laugh, as if he was mocking himself or sighing.

"I thought about it countless times in my mind, but I failed completely at this first step."

"He lost control?"

"He didn't do what you wanted?"

"He didn't go according to your plan?"

"Senior Brother", "Second Senior Sister" and "Fourth Junior Sister" asked curiously almost at the same time.

Such a tacit understanding made the three of them stunned for a moment. "Kou Chong" Yuanying was also stunned for a moment, and then his eyes swept over the three of them. His originally gloomy expression suddenly became much clearer, and he could not help but express his anger. The voice joked:

"It seems that you know him very well! Have you suffered a lot?"

The three of them were choked and speechless by his playful teasing.

"Kou Chong" Yuanying seemed to have gained some strength from these three people, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

He continued without Meng Zhou urging him.

He said how slippery Lian Ziling was, no matter how hard he tried secretly, he still refused to fall into the trap. If he hadn't stopped in time, Lian Ziling might even have caught traces of his secret manipulation.

In order to get rid of the suspicion and make Lian Ziling believe that there was no "invisible big hand" behind his back, he had to grit his teeth and expose the full picture of the "Secret Method of Infant Replacement" to Lian Ziling.

Meng Zhou understood clearly.

In other words, "Uncle Zheng" still had a lot of back-ups at the beginning, and even the core essence of the "Secret Method of Infant Replacement" was firmly in his hands.

But in the end, in order to ensure that he was not exposed, he was just like the defeated soldiers who scattered coins along the way during their hasty retreat. Although he successfully escaped, it also allowed Lian Ziling to obtain the full picture of the "Secret Method of Infant Replacement".

It's really like stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

Then, "Kou Chong" Yuanying continued to tell the story of what he had seen in secret, and how Lian Ziling followed his example and chose Yanzhuang as the "price".

"In order to avoid Lian Ziling's suspicion, I have had no contact with Yanzhuang."

As he said that, he looked at "Second Senior Sister" and said:

"I didn't expect that this would leave a loophole."

Meng Zhou listened to his story quietly and nodded silently in his heart.

Except that the details are more tortuous and detailed, in general, it is basically consistent with his previous speculation.

Meng Zhou was therefore certain that this should be the true version.

…

"Fourth Junior Sister" suddenly asked: "So, when Yanzhuang was building its foundation, he took the initiative to apply for long-term guarding at the Jade Lake in the Juye Wilderness. Is this part of the 'surrogate baby' plan?"

"Yes." "Kou Chong" Yuanying nodded.

"When senior sister saw him in the library hall, what was he looking for?"

"A way to quietly sneak out of the Star Sea without disturbing anyone during the mountain closure period." "Kou Chong," Yuanying said.

"With you and Lian Ziling secretly protecting him, I think he will finally get what he wants, right?" "Fourth Junior Sister" said again.

"Kou Chong" Yuanying ignored the strangeness in her words and nodded again: "Yes, he succeeded and got what he wanted."

"I think the place he went to must be the Jade Lake in the Juye Wilderness!" "Fourth Junior Sister" said again.

"I don't know about that." "Kou Chong" Yuanying shook his head.

He really strictly abides by his duty and only talks about what he knows and sees. For other things, even if they are logical speculations, he will not make any extra efforts.

"Four Junior Sisters" thought to themselves:

"Shortly afterwards, Yan Zhuang died."

"Lian Ziling, who had been secretly following Yan Zhuang's actions, learned of his death immediately and covered it up with the death of another innocent person before others discovered it."

Having said this, she suddenly looked up at "Bald Meng Zhou" and said, "Then Yan Zhuang must have died in your hands, right?"

Meng Zhou was surprised and said: "Can this be deduced?"

"I guessed it...but now it seems that it is indeed the case!" The corners of the "Fourth Junior Sister's" mouth curved slightly, seeming to be quite happy.

Meng Zhou was speechless, his eyes were deliberately sharp, and he said:

"You are so smart, do you know that Hui Ji will be hurt?

Sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing! "

The "Fourth Junior Sister" looked stagnant, and the "Senior Brother" immediately stood up and said:

"Junior sister has no ill intentions!

You haven't dealt with us now, and you probably don't have any thoughts of killing us directly, right?

That being the case, no matter what you think, it never hurts for us to know each other better. "

Meng Zhou looked at him, then at "Fourth Junior Sister", shook his head at her and said, "You have a good senior brother!"

As he said that, he ignored the two of them for the time being and looked at "Kou Chong" Nascent Soul, thoughts swirling in his mind.

What Lian Zi Ling, Yan Zhuang, what "secret method of substituting a baby", "law of gods, humans and gods" are not actually the real purpose of his method of asking "Kou Chong" Nascent Soul.

What he really wanted to ask was the origin of the "shabby ancient painting" that finally "washed out" Bai Zhi, Yaya and Granny Bai.

But at this moment, Meng Zhou felt that this was not a good time to ask.

So, he turned to ask: "Do you have any means to restrict Lian Ziling?"

As soon as he said these words, the other three people were all startled, and then their eyes all fell on "Kou Chong" Nascent Soul.

"Kou Chong," Yuanying shook his head and said, "Originally, there was, but... in order to get rid of his pursuit and completely eliminate the suspicion on me, I voluntarily gave up all those restrictive measures."

The three "elder brothers" all had disappointed looks on their faces.

This is actually understandable.

It's like a person holding a rope tied around the tiger's neck. Although this is a means to restrain the tiger, one must also be careful that the tiger follows the pull of the rope to complete the counterattack.

Compared with Lian Ziling, "Uncle Zheng" really has no advantage except that he is in the dark and the opponent is in the light.

At that time, it was also wise to throw off the rope quickly before the "tiger" Lian Ziling counterattacked.

Meng Zhou was not disappointed, but fell into deep thought.

"Does this mean that the rope tied around the neck of the 'tiger' Lian Ziling just fell off the hands of 'Uncle Zheng' and is no longer controlled by anyone, but the 'rope' itself still exists?"

"So, is it possible for me to regain control of that 'rope'?"

Of course, this is just a possibility, and it's not very likely.

After all, Lian Ziling is now the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, and maybe the so-called "rope" has already broken apart as he grows.

"But, not necessarily."

In addition to always hiding in the dark, 'Uncle Zheng' also has an advantage, that is, he knows a lot of weird secrets.

Maybe the "rope" he tied around Lian Ziling's neck was a bit special, wasn't it so easy to break free?

Meng Zhou, who was thinking like this, was about to ask carefully to learn more about the material of the "rope" when "Kou Chong" Yuanying suddenly spoke on his own initiative:

"However, I know some of Lian Ziling's other secrets."

"What secret?" Meng Zhou asked.

"The sudden death of the previous True Lord should have some connection with him."

"Kou Chong" Yuanying suddenly broke the news, which directly shocked everyone present.

The three "eldest brothers" were even more stunned, dumbfounded, with their mouths open like duck eggs and their eyes as wide as copper bells.

"You...what evidence do you have?" "Eldest Brother" asked.

"Kou Chong" Yuanying shook his head and said:

"Evidence? There is no direct evidence. The reason why I make this judgment is entirely based on my two to three hundred years of secret observation of him!"

"I know who he is better than anyone else!"

His words obviously lacked persuasiveness.

The eyes of the three "eldest brothers" looked at him, flickering.

Therefore, "Kou Chong" continued to break the news and said:

"Ever since the previous true monarch fell without warning and the Xingxiu Palace was closed, for more than a hundred years, no new Nascent Soul has been born.

More than a few of the disciples who were considered most likely to break through to the Nascent Soul realm fell into disgrace and all failed.

Then, from a certain moment, it suddenly becomes easy to break through the Nascent Soul.

Even 'Senior Brother' you can break through so easily... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to belittle you, but I really feel that compared to those fellow disciples who failed, you really..." (End of Chapter)
