People are in Xianwu, there are small games

Chapter 200 Madness and Paranoia

It has been nearly a year since we last said goodbye.

Little Aguo is also one year older, but he still looks lively and cute - but in fact he is almost an adult, not much younger than Lu Ming.

The youthful and cheerful atmosphere rushed towards them. Lu Ming and others stopped to watch as Little Aguo got closer and closer.

Soon he came to Lu Ming and others, and little Aguo said with a smile: "Master is waiting for you."

After finishing speaking, he led the way and walked towards the gate of Dishidao Mountain.

……

Along the way, little Aguo kept chattering.

At this time, he was locked in the gate of Dishi Dao Mountain. He seemed to be holding back. He asked about the situation outside and made insinuations about the current situation of Zhou Xingwu and Qu Li.

Even though he already knew that Zhou Xingwu had achieved the third rank, when Zhang Heng told the news, little Aguo still looked proud.

While admiring the scenery at the gate of the Xianjia Mountain, Lu Ming smiled and said, "What about you? Have you improved in your cultivation?"

Little Aguo's expression suddenly stiffened.

Second level of Qi training, still unchanged...

He muttered words such as "The immortal cultivator will live a long life" and "The path to immortality is long, even if you advance, you will advance", which made several people laugh.

Along the road paved with bluestones, you can smell the spiritual energy in your mouth and nose. Along the way, Earth Master Tao disciples wearing Taoist robes shuttle on the road. Occasionally, exotic flowers, exotic plants, fairies, birds and spiritual beasts come into view.

Dreamy.

Not long after, amidst the laughter and laughter, the group of people, led by Little Aguo, arrived deep inside the mountain gate and in front of Master Jia's quiet room.

……

The door of the quiet room opened automatically without wind, revealing the Taoist priest in starry sky robe sitting inside.

When they met for the first time, Lu Ming suddenly felt the advantages of immortality.

This Jia Wen should be around sixty, but his appearance is less than thirty. It can be clearly felt that Jia Wen's body is quite energetic, just like that of a young man.

The starry sky robe was deep and distant, exuding an aura that made Lu Ming faintly frightened.

But he looked a little pale...

I don’t know if it’s the secret that peeked into the sky that caused the original source to be damaged.

He was still traumatized by Zhou Zhichang in the previous battle.

Seeing Lu Ming and others, Jia Wen chuckled and said, "Sit down."

The futons were already prepared, and several people sat down in sequence.

Zhao Ziheng was placed in the center of the quiet room. There was no need for Lu Ming and others to explain the situation. Jia Wen had already looked at Zhao Ziheng.

"The art of human puppetry, the method of lust."

He opened his mouth to tell Zhao Ziheng's problem, and after thinking about it, Jia Wen said: "This method is difficult to solve, so I can only try it."

Lu Ming sighed deeply, but he also knew that this might be the best outcome.

Zi Ziheng's disciples took Zhao Ziheng away. In the quiet room, Jia Wen spoke again, and directly talked about business without greetings.

"Two..."

He looked at Lu Ming and Zhang Heng: "The martial arts of both of them have a certain relationship with dragon energy. They are relatively sensitive to dragon energy. They may even cooperate with the immortal family's secret method to interfere with the flow of dragon energy. I don't know if I am right. no?"

Lu Ming and Zhang Heng looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and then Lu Ming said: "I haven't tried it, so I don't know..."

Warriors are not sensitive to dragon energy.

Although Lu Ming's way of martial arts and Zhang Heng's chivalry are indeed related to the public opinion of thousands of people, they have never tried whether the two can interfere with the dragon's energy, so naturally they cannot make a conclusion.

Jia Wen said seriously: "Okay."

After that, he repeated again: "It must be possible."

Lu Ming frowned.

I don’t know if Jia Wen’s words are to reassure the two of them, or to reassure himself.

Lu Ming and Zhang Heng didn't say a word, and Jia Wen waved gently.

Then there was a surge of light, and a thumbnail of Kyoto was condensed in front of several people.

Each house and house is clearly visible, and with a third-grade vision, one can even vaguely see the pedestrians and vendors in the city.

The national defense formation in Kyoto was originally built by Jia Wen. It was not difficult for him to do this.

However, it can also be seen that there seems to be a dragon-shaped shadow hovering above the thumbnail, making the entire thumbnail blurry.

In this regard, Jia Wen explained: "Zhou Zhichang returned to the palace again after completing the elixir formation. I still don't understand the secret technique of Dragon Qi, but I know that this move is extremely powerful and unpredictable. Now Zhou Zhichang is working on it. Dealing with the Kyoto National Defense Formation, once this formation is broken, I may not be able to save my life."

The last time Jia Wen survived, it was because he was protected by the National Defense Formation.

This is Jia Wen's biggest trump card.

Once the national defense formation was gone, Yue Qiluo and Zhou Zhichang took action together, and Jia Wen couldn't hold it back.

After saying this, the miniature model in front of him flashed again, and a total of 81 light points appeared in the model.

Jia Wen's voice sounded again.

"This is what I have observed, the key nodes of the Dragon Qi Secret Technique. I don't know what these nodes represent and what they mean... At this time, I am trapped in the Earth Master Dao Mountain Gate, and it is difficult to go out, so I can only I can entrust you two to help me, help this country, and help the tens of thousands of people in Zhou Kingdom."

Jia Wen said it sincerely. After hearing this, Zhang Heng stood up immediately with a serious look on his face: "I have no obligation to do so."

Lu Ming and Zhang Hai looked at each other, and just as they were about to speak, Jia Wen continued.

"Gang Leader Lu, don't think this trip is too dangerous. Although there is definitely a certain degree of danger, it is still controllable."

"The Kyoto National Defense Formation is still under my control. With this, I can completely save the lives of several people in times of crisis."

"not to mention……"

At this point, he smiled and winked at Lu Ming.

"Xing Lin and I are not the kind of people who only take beatings without fighting back."

"I guarantee that in the next period of time, Yue Qiluo and Zhou Zhichang will not have the energy to focus on these few."

The day of counterattack seems to have arrived.

But Jia Wen did not elaborate on how to fight back.

……

Ever since Zhou Zhichang broke through the pill formation and Yue Qiluo negotiated with Mo Yunzi to no avail, Yue Qiluo returned to the original Demon Gate.

Zhou Zhichang has the ability to protect himself and does not need Yue Qiluo's protection, but Yue Qiluo feels abandoned.

Think about it.

Zhou Zhichang promised to use the art of human elixir to make her achieve first-class status.

Now that the human elixir was refined, Mo Yunzi cut off his beard. Seeing the human elixir leave him just like that, how could Yue Qiluo not have any ideas?
This makes the relationship between Zhou Zhichang and Yue Qiluo tend to weaken these days.

Zhou Zhichang is an old man and has noticed this.

So today, there is a scene where Wang Tongcai comes to visit.

……

The Wang family, one of the five great families, is also the loyal dog of the Zhou family.

The old head of the Wang family died of illness more than a month ago, and his young boss, Wang Tongcai, succeeded him as the head of the family at the age of 24.

The fat and snoring Wang Tongcai just saw Yue Qiluo and kowtowed nine times: "Good luck to the Queen."

"Yes." Yue Qiluo nodded lightly: "Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Empress."

Sitting on the chair with half his buttocks, Wang Tongcai lowered his eyebrows until Yue Qiluo spoke again: "Why are you here today?"

Wang Tongcai then spoke: "I came here on His Majesty's orders. Since Your Majesty was worried about the Queen, he asked me to come and see if the Queen was well."

Yue Qiluo snorted coldly: "Go back and tell Zhou Zhichang that you are sick and have a heart problem."

Wang Tongcai then smiled and said, "But is that Ren Dan mentally ill?"

Yue Qiluo didn't answer, but gave Wang Tongcai a fierce look.

You little fat guy doesn't want to pick up any pot.

Wang Tongcai slid off the chair again, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The second thing that I came to see the empress is that your majesty has found a solution to this matter."

Yue Qiluo raised his eyebrows: "What can we do?"

"Your Majesty emptied the national treasury, my royal family dispersed all their wealth, and invited the Eight Evils of the Wu Kingdom."

Yue Qiluo's eyes lit up.

……

The Eight Evils of the Wu Kingdom have a great reputation.

The first of the eight evils is the second-grade strong person, and the other seven are all third-grade.

These people recognize money but not people, and they are doing mercenary-type business - but they are not robbers or devils. They do things in a very orderly manner. They take money and do things. If they fail, they only take half of the money. The credit is quite reliable.

Correspondingly, the asking price is not low - it is probably true to say that Zhou Zhichang emptied the national treasury and the Wang family dispersed their wealth.

With his eyes flickering, Yue Qiluo groaned softly.

"If the Eight Evils of the Wu Kingdom help, it may not be impossible to get the human elixir back from Mo Yunzi."

Zhou Zhichang could not leave Beijing.

Mo Yunzi is far away in the horizon.

With Yue Qiluo's own strength, it is difficult to get an advantage from Mo Yunzi.

But if there is one more second grade, things will be different...

Seeing Yue Qiluo lost in thought, Wang Tongcai finally said: "That's all your Majesty can do about this matter. The Queen can make her own plans. If necessary, she only needs to inform her, and the Eight Evils of Wu Kingdom can be there at any time."

At this point, Wang Tongcai said goodbye.

Yue Qiluo thought carefully, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

Just like Mo Yunzi is determined to get the Wanling Ningying Dan, she, Yue Qiluo, is also determined to get the Human Dan!
Although the Eight Fiends of Wu Kingdom may not be Mo Yunzi's opponent, the hope is always much greater, and it is worth fighting for...

And today, good things come in pairs.

Not long after Wang Tongcai left, a servant came to report.

"Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to greet you."

Yue Qiluo looked complicated and sighed softly.

"Let him in."

……

Zhou Xingdan dressed up specially today.

Neatly dressed and elegant.

The servants took Zhou Xingdan to the reception room, where Zhou Xingdan met Yue Qiluo, his biological mother.

"Greetings, Queen Mother."

Zhou Xingdan said this, and then, as before, he sat on the chair next to Yue Qiluo, serving tea while chatting with a smile about the family affairs of the parents in the prince's house.

This made the complex meaning in Yue Qiluo's heart even more intense.

Before...that is, before the morning meeting that day...

Yue Qiluo has always been Zhou Xingdan's biggest backer and his biggest trump card in fighting for the throne.

Therefore, Zhou Xingdan never dared to forget the matter of greeting his mother... but what happened next is also known to everyone.

The frequency of greetings has also become much lower.

It's not that they don't happen, they only happen once every ten days and a half, but every time they meet, the atmosphere is not as good as before.

Today, Zhou Xingdan no longer crotches, and Yue Qiluo is in a good mood because of the Eight Evils of Wu Kingdom. This atmosphere is not bad.

After chatting about family matters for half an hour, Zhou Xingdan got down to business.

"My son, I also heard a little bit about my second brother..."

Yue Qiluo's expression froze and his face turned gloomy.

Yue Qiluo would not be in a good mood if her son found out about Zhou Xinglin's nonsense - after all, she still had feelings for Zhou Xingdan.

Although it is not as deeply emotional as the pursuit of martial arts, it is certainly there.

"My son also heard that Mo Yunzi got hold of that thing."

Yue Qiluo didn't know how to answer.

Then Zhou Xingdan continued to speak: "The son and minister always have the mother and queen in their hearts, just like the mother and queen always have the son and minister in their hearts."

"So I tried my best to contact some helpers, who might be able to help my mother." Yue Qiluo couldn't help but ask: "What helpers?"

Zhou Xingdan smiled and said: "The helper is outside the mountain gate. I will bring him over now to show my mother."

……

The person brought by Zhou Xingdan was a woman with plump breasts and a slim waist.

But he has level three strength.

Obviously he was not a warrior from Zhou and Liang.

"Those who kill Lou in the rain are willing to cooperate with the Queen to kill Mo Yunzi."

This made Yue Qiluo raise his eyebrows, and he felt happy, but he still asked: "Why do you want to kill Mo Yunzi?"

The woman gritted her teeth: "Because Mo Yunzi killed me, the deputy owner of Yusha Building, and also my adoptive father!"

The hatred in his voice didn't seem fake.

After thinking briefly, Yue Qiluo smiled and said, "But I don't know the girl's name. How many people can you produce in Yushalou?"

The woman announced her family name: "I'm Luo Miao, and this time in order to kill Demon Yunzi, I, Yusha Lou Neng, will send out one person from the second rank."

"But this person only takes action at critical moments."

Yue Qiluo nodded clearly.

As a killer, he naturally has to take action at a critical moment.

Although Yue Qiluo heard that the people in Yushalou would not avenge those who failed the mission, but who could say for sure about feelings? Yue Qiluo also didn't know the grudges between Yushalou and Mo Yunzi.

In addition, this person was brought by Zhou Xingdan, so Yue Qiluo still believed in his son more than he didn't.

Until Luo Miao and Zhou Xingdan left, Yue Qiluo couldn't help but smile after thinking briefly.

"Three second-grade players. In this round, the success rate is not low."

……

On the way back, Luo Miao and Zhou Xingdan said nothing. Until they approached Kyoto, they still didn't look at each other and just separated.

Luo Miao did not enter the capital, but took a long detour and disappeared without a trace. It is unknown where she went - this is in line with the behavior of the Yu Sha Lou killer.

Zhou Xingdan, on the other hand, rode a carriage and entered Kyoto from the East Gate.

Little did he know that just when Zhou Xingdan entered the city, a pair of eyes were already fixed on him and followed him all the way to the Prince's Mansion.

……

Returning to the Prince's Mansion, Zhou Xingdan was in a bad mood.

It wasn't until the servant came to report that Zhou Xingdan regained his energy.

Go to the study, open the door, and three figures come into view.

One person is familiar, the other two are strangers - Lu Ming and Zhang Hai were disguised, so Zhou Xingdan naturally couldn't tell.

Zhou Xingdan didn't care. He just nodded slightly to the three of them and sat down at the table. Then he rubbed his temples and said, "Master Zhang."

"His Royal Highness."

Zhang Heng stood up and responded, then heard Zhou Xingdan say again: "But what are the instructions from Master Jia?"

The two words "instruction" were spat out by Zhou Xingdan through gritted teeth, bolded and emphasized.

Zhang Heng's expression did not change, he nodded and said: "Yes, Master Jia said, let the three of us cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince to explore the Dragon Qi node."

"You are the master, and we are the assistants."

Just now in the Earth Master's Way, Jia Wen has explained in detail the links and steps of this matter.

The prince has been in charge of the country for 30 years, and his prestige among the people is not low. Although most of the dragon's energy has been taken away by Zhou Zhichang, we have to admit that the affinity of Zhou's dragon's energy for Zhou Xingdan is second only to Zhou Zhichang - Yuan Much taller than the second and third oldest.

Even now that Zhou Xingwu is guarding the country and winning the hearts and minds of the military and the people, his affinity for dragon energy is no higher than that of Zhou Xingdan.

He has been the prince for more than ten years and has been in charge of the country for more than ten years.

Even without credit, there is still hard work, which will naturally be rewarded.

This is part of the reason why Jia Wen chose Zhou Xingdan. Another part of the reason is that Zhou Xingwu can't get away from the front line.

However, after hearing Zhang Heng's words, Zhou Xingdan slowly closed his eyes and nodded after a long time.

It's rather reluctant.

This made Lu Ming frown.

Perhaps because of Zhou Tiyu's relationship, Lu Ming felt a little disgusted with the elegant-looking middle-aged man in front of him.

Preconceived.

Then he said bluntly: "If we combine it, we will gain two things, and if we divide it, we will have two disadvantages. When things are done, it will be beneficial to everyone. Your current unwillingness is a bit too much."

The voice was calm, but it caused Zhou Xingdan to open his eyes fiercely.

Looking at Lu Ming, Zhou Xingdan sneered and asked, "Who are you?"

"Just a helper, the name is not important."

Seeing that Lu Ming didn't want to reveal his real name, Zhou Xingdan sneered again: "I guess what Jia Wen told you is that if this happens, the third child and I will use the dragon energy to determine the throne, right?"

This time, Lu Ming and Zhang Heng were stunned.

Because he was right.

Jia Wen made it clear that whoever gets the approval of Long Qi, the eldest and the third, will succeed to the throne - this is a necessary condition for him to win over Zhou Xingdan.

A level playing field.

At that time, Lu Ming still lamented that there were no permanent friends, only eternal interests, but now listening to Zhou Xingdan speak, it seemed that there was something in his words.

"Boom" sound.

Zhou Xingdan banged on the table.

"What kind of good bird is Jia Wen? What kind of good bird is Jia Wen!?"

"You say everything in a righteous way, but your thoughts are more sinister than anyone else's!"

After scolding twice, Zhou Xingdan suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

After a long time, Zhou Xingdan spoke again, calmly and coldly.

"I will do things, but I, Zhou Xingdan, will never smile at a group of people who want to sell me."

The word "sell" made Lu Ming raise his eyebrows, but Zhou Xingdan didn't want to say more.

He just said again: "You go and rest first. We will take action early tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, he made a show of seeing off the guests.

Lu Ming and the other three looked at each other, but still turned around and left.

Approaching the door, there was a sound again.

It was Zhou Xingdan's voice.

"You shouldn't have come to Kyoto."

Lu Ming paused before hearing complex laughter: "These people in Kyoto are either madmen or paranoid."

Although he was laughing, the sound was dark and dark, like a curse.

"Forget it, there's no point in telling you this."

"Soon, you will understand..."

……

After leaving the prince's study, the three of them looked at each other.

It was Zhang Heng who smiled and said calmly: "His Royal Highness is probably crazy."

After finishing speaking, as if he was trying to convince himself, Zhang Heng continued: "The prince originally thought that his succession to the throne was certain. Although he himself is not a martial artist, he has a second-grade mother, so his talents are outstanding."

But his father cultivated immortality and his mother abandoned him. He had been the prince of the country for more than ten years, doing the things of the emperor, but the throne was out of reach.

After a series of blows, madness seems to be normal.

Lu Ming was expressionless and shook his head gently after a long time.

"I don't know, I don't understand, I can't see through it."

"Do your own thing well, be alert to everything else, and leave immediately after everything is done... Oh, by the way, I have to go to the Yangxin Garden."

The words were spoken to Zhang Hai.

Zhang Hai nodded after hearing this. It was obvious that Lu Ming took the lead in everything.

Zhang Heng, on the other hand, said with a smile: "Yangxinyuan is also one of the 81 Dragon Qi nodes, and it is very likely to be an important node. There will be a chance."

As soon as his voice fell, Lu Ming suddenly turned his head and looked aside.

"Who!!"

The sound is like angry thunder!

"what?"

A soft chirp sounded from near the rockery.

As the sound fell, Zhang Hai raised his hand decisively, and the silver light flashed across the rockery and exploded instantly, but there was no trace of anyone.

Turning to look at Lu Ming again, Zhang Hai couldn't help but be stunned.

Because in the blink of an eye, Lu Ming had disappeared without a trace.

……

Two figures, one behind the other, quickly rushed out of the city.

Pedestrians along the way were unaware of anything.

There are formations flashing and dying above Kyoto, but under the control of both parties, no one can do anything about the other, so naturally they are unable to intervene in this chase and escape situation.

Jia Wen said something that seemed not to be rigorous.

He said that the current Kyoto National Defense Formation is still under his control, but looking at the current scene, I am afraid that Zhou Zhichang has taken away part of the control authority of the National Defense Formation.

Except for the parties involved, no one knew who was currently in control of the national defense formation. However, after looking at it, Lu Ming tentatively believed that the situation was a tie.

I vaguely thought of Zhou Xingdan's roar.

"What kind of good guy is Jia Wen!?"

The emotion in his voice didn't seem fake.

With a sigh in his heart, Lu Ming refocused his attention and looked into the distance.

Far away, underground.

A third-grade aura is hidden underground and is shooting into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

He or she seems to be one with the earth, moving at extremely fast and almost imperceptible speeds.

If it weren't for Daitian's power, Lu Ming would never have discovered this person's traces.

If it weren't for the abundant power of the void, Lu Ming would just use the power of the void alone to activate his movements, and the speed would be terrifyingly fast. It would be difficult to keep up with this person's speed.

When the light and shadow were chaotic, the two of them had left Kyoto and arrived outside the city.

Suddenly there was a sound from the ground ahead.

"I said, I'm just a follower, you won't stalk me, right?"

As the voice fell, the ground in front of him suddenly bulged, and a short old man with ugly features emerged from the ground and appeared in front of Lu Ming.

Looking at each other, Lu Ming and the old man were both deep in thought.

The old man knew that Lu Ming was from Jia Wen, but he didn't know where Lu Ming was from - even to this day, Lu Ming's disguise is not even visible to third-level people.

And it was even more impossible for Lu Ming to know the origin of this old man. He only knew that he was a third-grade man, but there was no such person in Zhou Liang Wulin.

Until the old man slowly opened his mouth.

"Forget it, you're here now, let's just stay..."

The sound fell and the punch came out.

Thick earth-carrying punch!
The three inner powers of heaven and earth are mixed together to create this fist!The punch had just landed in front of Lu Ming.

It could be clearly seen that the old man had a relaxed look in his eyes, as if he was sure that Lu Ming was definitely not his opponent.

After all, as the Eight Fiends of the Martial Kingdom, at the third level, if he were defeated by the third level in this barren land of martial arts, wouldn't it be a big joke?

There was a flash of light for a moment.

Lu Ming used his fingers as a sword and lightly slashed at the old man's right fist.
