Pawn Crossing the River

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but slap the armrest: "Tian Yuan is always like this."

Zhang Yuelu said this for no reason. Most of the time, Qi Xuansu would not ask her opinion. What Zhang Yuelu remembered most was of course Qi Xuansu's shocking leap.

This is a Chinese-style living room. The two main seats facing south and north are empty. The two people sit on the chairs in the east and west rows.

Qiniang sat opposite Zhang Yuelu and blew her cigarette pot: "He probably thinks it's useless to say it. You can't fly over and it will only make you worry. It's better not to say it."

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qiniang.

The meaning is very clear. Qiniang came over to tell her this matter today. It would not be as simple as making her worry about Qi Xuansu. She must have a deeper intention.

Qiniang didn't beat around the bush: "For some reasons, I signed a contract with someone, so I can't say too much."

While speaking, Qiniang raised her left hand, and there was a strange symbol on the back of her hand. It seemed to be branded on it and could not be seen normally. But after Qiniang touched some sensitive content, the symbol lit up and flashed purple. The light seemed to be warning Qiniang.

Qiniang said: "What I can say is that you must pay special attention to your own safety."

Zhang Yuelu thought a lot in that moment.

This is no longer the case a few years ago. At that time, Grandma Zhang Yuelu didn't care about her uncle and could bully anyone.

But in the thirty years of Hedong and the thirty years of Hexi, as the Zhang family determined the succession order of Zhang Wushou, Zhang Jucheng, and Zhang Yuelu, Master Cihang officially designated Zhang Yuelu as the successor, and Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu arranged a marriage, which made Zhang Yuelu's status After repeated promotions, it is hard to say whether Zhang Yuelu can become a great leader.

Tao's future successor is already a sure bet.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Zhang Yuelu's safety can be guaranteed. The Taoist identity is here, the Tianshi protects her, Master Cihang protects her, and no one will be allowed to harm Zhang Yuelu.

So usually, Zhang Yuelu doesn't care much about the so-called safety issues. Who dares to do anything to her?

Maybe the Li family dared, but there was no need, because the main target of the Li family was no longer Zhang Yuelu or Yao Pei, but Qi Xuansu. In a sense, Qi Xuansu protected Zhang Yuelu from the wind and rain.

However, there were more people protecting Qi Xuansu. The Heavenly Master even handed over the "Gui Zang Lamp" to Qi Xuansu. As the saying goes, it is difficult to buy something early, but Qi Xuansu was able to know it early, so it was not easy to attack Qi Xuansu.

Zhang Yuelu's current situation is a bit like darkness under the lamp. Everyone is paying attention to Qi Xuansu, but not many people are paying attention to her. Those who want to target her, such as those desperate old Taoist priests, do not have this ability and cannot even pass Lin Yuanmiao's level. Those who have the ability, but don’t have the will, are not desperate, and there is no need to go to the point of death.

Others know this, and Zhang Yuelu also knows it.

So she doesn't care much about safety issues.

In this case, if someone suddenly does the opposite, it is really possible to succeed.

Thinking more deeply, it is not necessary to kill Zhang Yuelu. As long as Zhang Yuelu is captured and temporarily imprisoned, there is no need to use Zhang Yuelu to threaten Qi Xuansu. As long as he pretends to be Zhang Yuelu and deceives Qi Xuansu, he can do many things.

Since Zhang Yuelu was not dead, but was just imprisoned, it cannot be said that he was completely torn apart.

If you lose face, you may still have room for maneuver afterwards, after all, the person is still alive.

Zhang Yuelu didn't think Qiniang was making a fuss out of a molehill. Although Xiao Yin didn't speak very clearly, Zhang Yuelu probably understood. Qiniang knew Zhou Mengyao very well. Since Qiniang had this level of worry, it meant that It is really possible for Zhou Mengyao to do this.

This is a "madman" who cares about the rules of the Taoist sect, but doesn't care much.

Zhang Yuelu couldn't ignore it.

Qiniang patted Xiao Yin's head again.

Xiao Yin thought of something and said: "When I was reading comic strips a few days ago, Qiniang accidentally dropped a book, so I took it over and read it, and accidentally learned about a very vicious technique called 'embryonic' Plant a demon. Use someone else to make... a furnace, and then use a ray of your own soul to refine it into a seed. It will then take root and grow in the hearts of others. The seed will have an embryo as a cover, and others will not. will find out.”

Not only Zhou Mengyao can create coincidences, but Qiniang, who is Zhou Mengyao's old friend for many years, can also do it. It's just that Xiao Yin seemed to be dealing with things casually, speaking confusingly, and even forgetting some things.

However, Zhang Yuelu still understood. When people are used as furnaces, they should be talking about furnaces and cauldrons, not furnaces. The embryo should be said to be a fetus, not a host, but a parasite.

Zhang Yuelu corrected him one by one, which was a disguised reminder to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it is parasitism. The demon species parasitizes the embryo... After the Tao fetus, it does not take over the body. It can fuse and assimilate while retaining the soul, memory, and personality of the other party. Even the host will not notice it. , I will only feel that I have awakened to my true self

It will not reject it. "

Hearing this, Zhang Yuelu put his hand on his forehead and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Yuelu also had to admit that this "Tao Fei Demon Seed" method was indeed terrifying.

Seizing the body only retains the body, but the soul inside has been changed. This behavior can be easily discovered. But the "Tao Fei Seed Demon" uses the soul of the host as an embryo to breed its own seeds, just like the yin and yang of a man and a woman. The two merge and assimilate to develop a new individual. It is very secretive. Not only can outsiders not detect it in time, but also oneself can't detect it in time. Hard to spot.

After all, people will change, and they will recognize their own changes.

What you think when you are young is different from what you think when you grow up. What you think before you are unsuccessful is different from what you think after you succeed. What you think when you are young is different from what you think when you are old. It is not uncommon to go to extremes after being stimulated. Therefore, there are profound enlightenment and enlightenment. There are many ways to think about it, to realize it, and so on.

This subtle change can easily be mistaken for a kind of awakening. If you don't care and do nothing, outsiders can only detect the drastic change in temperament after a long time, extending the time and comparing before and after. It's too late.

This method is useless in frontal combat, but it is very useful when used to plot against others.

Qiniang would not let Xiao Yin know this skill "accidentally" for no reason.

In other words, this technique is probably what Zhou Mengyao is good at.

Recalling Qiniang's previous words of "pay attention to safety", a simple plan has begun to take shape.

Find an opportunity to capture Zhang Yuelu, and then use the "Tao Fei Seed Demon" on Zhang Yuelu, and then cleanse part of Zhang Yuelu's memory, and

Put it back. After a while, Zhang Yuelu was no longer Zhang Yuelu, but Zhou Mengyao.

By then, one can only imagine what Zhou Mengyao can do.

Of course, there are countless Taoist masters. This kind of behavior is very risky no matter how secretive it is. Zhou Mengyao would not dare to take the risk without being forced to a certain extent. But now it seems that if Zhou Mengyao fails in the battle with Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu will probably take risks and make a fuss about Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu even thought of Qi Haoran who disappeared. Was this person also parasitized by Zhou Mengyao? In the end, he became Zhou Mengyao's puppet clone. After squeezing out all the use value, he was completely abandoned and died without a burial place.

Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

And there is another possibility that Zhou Mengyao's ultimate goal is not to put Qi Xuansu to death, nor to parasitize Zhang Yuelu, but to parasitize Qi Xuansu, replace Qi Xuansu, and finally survive as Qi Xuansu.

Qiniang started to smoke again, the mist curled up and loomed.

People like Zhou Mengyao may not be fatal, but they are very disgusting and make you feel uneasy.

Anyway, she is not pursuing the Great Master or the Great Master on the surface, and she has the protection of the Earth Master. It is equivalent to only enjoying the power and not fulfilling her obligations, so she naturally does whatever she wants.

Qi Xuansu understood this, so he looked for opportunities, risking his own life, and giving Zhou Mengyao a head-on blow to make her feel uncomfortable and fearful.

On the other side, Qi Xuansu's dragon-slaying plan has been officially launched.

Several immortals were standing on the observation deck on the coast, closely monitoring the surroundings to prevent foreign enemies from attacking.

According to

Logically speaking, their biggest enemy is the big demon who fought to a close with the Dragon God. However, that big demon was also severely wounded by the Dragon God and was hiding to recuperate. It would not attack and should be safe.

But for some reason, the atmosphere today was a bit too depressing.

At this time, the sky will be dark, and the sky will be dark blue.

Countless shadows dissolved into the night, rushing in from all directions, and then turned into black shadows, appearing behind each sentry at the same time, raising and lowering their knives at the same time.

Sentries were cleared one after another without making any noise.

In the night, the shadows are intertwined, and the light and dark are entangled vertically and horizontally, constantly changing from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one.

If there are people from the Juesheng Church here, they will immediately recognize that this is the wave of shadows that once caused headaches and even fear for many people.

It is now known that the Tide of Shadows was launched by Chakchel, who had obtained the priesthood of the Night, in order to resurrect Itsumna. Now that Chakchel and the Night Priesthood are all owned by Ixichel, Ixichel naturally also controls the Tide of Shadows.

The relationship between God and the chosen people is that when one person attains enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven. Ixichel climbed up step by step, and Utu, as a elect, rose with the tide, and he had more and more clergy and means.

Viewed from a high altitude, shadows are eroding this sea area. Although some immortals have high levels of cultivation, Utu separates them with shadows, leaving everyone in a state of isolation and helplessness. People trapped in the shadows seem to be in an independent space, surrounded by nothing but endless darkness, and this darkness is like a deep abyss, with vicious and terrifying existences lurking in it.

, quietly breeding fear. This is the natural fear of darkness in human nature, and it is also an alternative fear different from death.

Driven by Utu, these shadow tides continued to spread, and soon engulfed the fishing villages on the land, and then penetrated deep into the ocean. Wherever they went, the deep blue water became as black as ink, as if the sea had turned into an inkstone. , the thick ink in it will overflow at any time and flow everywhere.
