Lord of Deception

Upon hearing this, the bearded old ghost's eyes, which were originally like copper bells, fell out of their sockets on the spot.

The old ghost quickly reached out his hand, caught the two eyeballs, and stuffed them back into his sockets. He took two steps back and looked Zhang Quli up and down.

"Zhang, I slept well here..."

Zhang Quli said unhurriedly with a smile on his face.

"His Majesty personally gave the order, so there can be no lies.

During the Earthly Rebellion back then, you could be considered to have helped and contributed.

That's why I first thought of you to do you good.

As for you worrying that His Majesty is just acting on a whim, then you are really overthinking.

Your Majesty was born in Jinlan Mountain, and there are at least tens of millions of hungry ghosts guarding Jinlan Mountain.

If you want to run a ghost school, it cannot be fake, and a lot of energy will definitely be invested in it. "

"Wait a minute, what is a hungry ghost? A starving ghost?" The old ghost was a little shocked and quickly reached out to stop Zhang Quli.

"..."

Zhang Quli's eyelids twitched slightly and his smile froze.

He looked at the old ghost in shock and couldn't help but gasp.

"Are you really so honest and sleeping here all the time?"

The old ghost is a bit embarrassed, but he is still more concerned about the ghost school.

"I woke up once before, but as soon as I woke up, I saw Jia Shi4 killing people, so I went back to sleep.

Later... Later, there was a lot of commotion outside, and something happened, but I felt it.

But when I thought about it, it probably didn't have anything to do with me, so I didn't come out to cause trouble for Da Dui. "

"Just say it directly, you are too cowardly."

"What do you know? A gentleman doesn't build dangerous walls and avoid strangers. In my capacity, if I come to cause trouble, I will be used by others to interfere in the government affairs."

"Just you? You think too much."

"Zhang, what do you mean?"

"Forget it, you should go find your juniors first and learn about what happened in the past two hundred years. If you don't want to come out, I can't find someone."

Lao Zhang was a little helpless and too lazy to talk to the old ghost.

However, he can understand Lao Gui. If he hadn't followed Dadui's changes step by step and participated in the whole process, he might not be able to understand today's Dadui.

The Yu family is also a popular local surname. After many turmoils, old ghost Yu still has descendants.

When Old Ghost Yu heard this, his thoughts changed and he became a lot more polite.

He waved his hand, and there were tea tables and stools in front of him.

"Master Zhang, sit down first and take a rest. I'll go and come back."

The old ghost watched Zhang Quli sit down, then turned into a breeze and left the ancestral hall.

Zhang Quli sat on the chair, looked at the empty table, and suddenly laughed.

He has been here for a long time and there is not even a place to sit.

This old friend of his is doing much better than he did back then.

When that old ghost was still alive, he was ugly and had a bad temper. It was as if he was the only gentleman and good guy in the whole world, and everyone else was bad.

It has been settling down for many years since his death. After being calm for many years, he has tempered his sharpness a little bit.

Just this shameless energy has not changed much.

To be honest, Lao Zhang still understands how a person can be so smelly, hard, and shameless.

The old ghost turned into a wisp of green smoke, flew out from the ancestral hall, and flew near the city. After turning around in a circle, he did not dare to sneak into the city rashly.

Finally, he wandered around and soon found the Yu family's settlement. He found a house that seemed to be in the best condition and sneaked in.

He found a guy who seemed to have the highest status, turned into a wisp of smoke, and surrounded the other person's head.

The monk who was meditating felt his consciousness suddenly blur. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was sitting in a bright light hall. Opposite him sat an old man with a beard and round eyes, who was wearing a crimson robe.

"What generation of the Yu family are you?"

"Your Excellency is..."

"You don't even recognize me? Forget it. If I ask you a question, just answer it quickly."

"The eighty-ninth generation on the family tree..."

"I still have something to ask you. Please answer honestly."

…

An hour later, the old ghost turned into light smoke and floated back, landing opposite Zhang Quli.

The old ghost had a smile on his face, and with a wave of his hand, there was a sealed wine pool on the table. The old ghost took out two more wine bowls, smashed the wine seals, and poured a bowl of wine for Zhang Quli.

"This is the wine I grew and brewed by myself before. Now that the anger has dissipated, it is at its most mellow. Come on, Mr. Zhang, have a taste."

Zhang Quli took a taste and his eyes lit up.

The old ghost immediately waved his hand, and a dense pile of wine jars were piled up next to him.

"If Mr. Zhang likes it, please take some back and give it to our Majesty to try."

"Old Ghost Yu, don't you think it's funny that you are so arrogant at first and then respectful later?"

"This is human nature, what's so ridiculous about it? Most of the Gonggun princes in this court are not worthy of my respect."

"If you had such shameless energy in the past, you wouldn't be dead." Zhang Quli was a little regretful.

Old Ghost Yu poured another drink and said with a smile.

"During the chaos in the land, Dadai was already very ill and needed someone to ignite the blood.

When others criticize the foolish king, they are just making unnecessary sacrifices.

It is naturally the most appropriate to use my blood to ignite this bloody nature.

Besides, I have long wanted to vomit on that foolish king and all the courtiers with thick phlegm on their faces.

What's such a pity? I wasn't completely dead in the end and turned into a ghost.

Now that there is even a ghost school, I have something to do, which is not very good. "

"It seems that you already know a lot. You'd better not be in a hurry to do anything later, and then take a good look at Da Dui now before talking about anything else."

Zhang Quli took out a token and handed it to Yu Laogui.

"Take it, my token is enough for you to enter and leave the city at will."

"Old Zhang, what kind of person is our Majesty?"

"I can't explain it clearly in just a few words..."

…

"Execute it again, slower." The leader of the farmhouse looked solemnly and ordered Yu Ziqing, who looked numb.

Yu Ziqing's face was expressionless, and his eyes were a little dull. He stretched out his hand almost instinctively and used the magical power of the Bridge of Wonderland.

A sacred bridge of bones stretched out from under his feet, flew not far away and then disappeared into the void. Lanterns on both sides lit up one after another, illuminating the way forward.

Following Yu Ziqing's movements, he saw a large lama flower around him, standing up with his head shaking, aiming at the Holy Bone Bridge.

Along with the charm of the Fairyland Bridge, there are seven or eight kinds of plants around, dancing with the rhythm, and the divine light shines, constantly synchronizing with the fluctuations.

Further away, hundreds of magic weapons of various sizes, large and small, are floating in the air. The divine light turns into chains, connecting these magic weapons, and recording hundreds of things related to specific factors in all directions without blind spots. .

A few miles behind, a hundred-foot-tall, crystal clear black crystal stele stood there. The divine light turned into a link and connected to the black crystal stele. Countless Dao patterns and runes were rapidly refreshed on it.

Further away, ten heads of the academy were present, plus more than twenty apprentices, and hundreds of cattle and horse students, all of whom were very busy.

There was order in the chaos of the scene, a large amount of spiritual jade was being consumed continuously, and more spiritual jade of the best quality was being sent in a steady stream.

In this chaotic environment, only Yu Ziqing was the most at ease, so he just obeyed the command and used the Bridge of Wonderland again and again.

Yu Ziqing's consciousness was already wandering, as if he had returned to his first job.

Being ambitious is like taking a shot of chicken blood, and I feel that my work is just like that.

Then he repeats the mechanical movements, which have become almost instinctive. His consciousness can be completely blank, but his hands can still make no mistakes when screwing.

This is how he feels now. He feels that his proficiency in mastering magical powers is no longer as proficient as the Bridge of Fairyland.

Even Yue Guang, who practiced consciously and deliberately, can no longer compare.

He used the Bridge of Fairyland almost instinctively, becoming more and more proficient and becoming more and more at ease.

The initial feeling of curiosity about everything around me completely disappeared.

The spiritual plants cultivated by the Agricultural Academy specifically to assist research have been replaced by new generations, and Yu Ziqing no longer has any interest in paying attention to them.

"Go on, do it again."

Yu Ziqing didn't know who said this. It seemed to be the head of the farm house, or it seemed to be another head of the house.

His thoughts didn't even move, but his hands moved first.

He stretched out his finger and cast Bridge of Wonderland again.

His eyes were dull and his face was expressionless. In a daze, he seemed to feel something. In a daze, he seemed to see a progress bar, telling him that he was about to accumulate enough proficiency in the Bridge of Wonderland and was about to advance. .

I don’t know how many times I came here, but Yu Ziqing was too lazy to remember.

Hearing the signal again, he used it again, and a completely different feeling arose.

Pointing with one finger, the Divine Bone Bridge suddenly appeared, and then new bones continued to roll up from both sides of the Divine Bone Bridge, turning into things like vine frames, covering the Divine Bone Bridge.

Withered skeletal hands stretched out from above, and pale white flowers bloomed on top of the withered bones, densely piled together, like a canopy of flowers built for the Holy Bone Bridge.

The dimly glowing lanterns grew from scratch, from small to large, like fruit, hanging down from the ceiling, illuminating the Holy Bone Bridge.

At that moment, Yu Ziqing felt that the Holy Bone Bridge seemed to be completely separated from the outside world. It no longer looked like crossing the void, but more like a direct passage.

Vaguely, I can even feel where the other side is and what the situation is.

Yu Ziqing had no expression on his face, stretched out a hand, pointed at it, and looked at it quietly.

Around him, all the spiritual plants flashed with divine light and exploded into powder.

There were hundreds of magic weapons around, and the divine light became brighter and brighter. As the divine light collapsed, they fell from the sky one after another.

"My magical power has advanced! Hurry up and cut off the connection."

"Move quickly, these magic weapons are not capable of capturing the charm."

"If you don't want to die, close your eyes. Don't look or feel."

In the chaos of war, those who were not strong enough immediately closed their five senses. Only the heads of the courtyard had their eyes widened, and their eyes were intertwined, each relying on his own ability.

But as time passed, the divine light in the eyes of the hospital leaders also dissipated, and they did not dare to continue to capture it.

Just research, which does not seem to be dangerous, is also extremely dangerous.

With the help of magic weapons that capture the charm, magic weapons that are constantly differentiated and transformed into Taoist runes, and spiritual plants, you will gain sensing abilities that far exceed your own limits.

If you don't have enough foundation, can't bear it, can't comprehend it, and you still want to comprehend it, you will only burst your soul first.

After waiting for a long time, without waiting for the next time to continue using it, Yu Ziqing's flying consciousness slowly returned to its original position.

He blinked and looked at the fairyland bridge in front of him which became even weirder. It had nothing to do with fairyland no matter how you looked at it.

After dissipating his magical power, he looked back at his surroundings, seeing a chaotic situation.

There are people who repair magic weapons, rearrange things, make records, and so on.

More than half of the magic weapon is broken, and the remaining half may still be usable, but it is obviously no longer able to meet the requirements of the heads of the academy and will be retired for the use of the apprentices below.

Yu Ziqing walked down from the stage and grabbed an apprentice.

"How long has it been?"

"Ah, almost a year."

The apprentice held a few magic weapons and left in a hurry.

Yu Ziqing was a little shocked, one year?

His Fairyland Bridge has advanced in just one year?

How many times has he cast the Bridge of Wonderland this year?

He thought a long time had passed.

This magical power can really be advanced by accumulating proficiency, right?

Yu Ziqing wandered around here by himself, and the experiences of this year began to slowly come to his mind.

I probably understand why, because here, he is cooperating with the research, which means that so many people are cooperating with him to research the Bridge of Fairyland.

He is naturally the most familiar with magical powers, and he naturally has the most insights.

In addition to being a bit uncomfortable, it reminded him of driving screws day and night.

No, it was much harder for him than driving screws. He didn't even have time to rest, and he kept going without eating, drinking or sleeping all year round.

And he has only been doing this for a year, and he already feels a little overwhelmed.

Thinking about the conversation I once had with Han Dong, Han Dong practiced swordsmanship in the deep sea and raised his sword at the same time. He stayed awake for hundreds of years and never slacked off.

Yu Ziqing could immediately realize that Han Dongqiang was what he deserved, and it was not because of his talent that he could reach this point.

It was really wise of him not to spend time practicing swordsmanship.

Instead of spending a lot of time only to have half a bucket of water hanging around, it would be better to spend your time elsewhere.

Yu Ziqing took out the table and chairs by himself, made tea and drank tea, and let out a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Wang Zixuan wandered over and sat opposite Yu Ziqing, looking at Yu Ziqing with admiration on his face.

This was the first time he had seen what it would be like to cooperate with the heads of the institute and do research together, with full firepower.

He couldn't be as focused and accurate as Yu Ziqing, and even advanced his magical powers.

The previous heads of the hospital had indeed accommodated him and taken good care of him, but they had never conducted such intensive research for such a long time.

Wang Zixuan poured tea for Yu Ziqing and toasted Yu Ziqing.

"It's amazing. I'm more and more sure now that with people like you here, the failures of the gods were not luck, but destined."

"Um?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you later!"

Wang Zixuan bowed solemnly and left majestically.

Yu Ziqing scratched his head, what did I say?

Yu Ziqing waited here for a long time, but did not continue his research. He wandered away from the site and asked around, only to find out that the magic weapon needed to be replaced, and the spiritual plant at the head of the farm also needed to be re-cultivated. It might take a while. recover.

And in the previous year, a lot of accumulation had been made, enough to continue to advance the teleportation array.

Especially the moment when Yu Ziqing's magical power advanced, it was the biggest accumulation and leap-forward process, and all the heads of the academy knew it in their hearts.

Maybe in a few years, the teleportation array will be ready.

Yu Ziqing specifically went to find the heads of the hospital, and after confirming that nothing was wrong for the time being, Yu Ziqing stretched out his hand on the spot, opened the Fairyland Bridge and ran away.

Walking off a small bridge in Jiachen City, Yu Ziqing took a deep breath and looked at everything around him, feeling as if he was in another world.

He was a little hasty before.

No wonder the heads of the institute responded so readily to the words "research institute". They were squeezing him to death.

I said before what I wanted to do, oh, by the way, open a ghost school.

It's been more than a year. I don't know how prepared Lao Zhang is.

Yu Ziqing wandered to the palace city and entered the cabinet, where he saw Lao Zhang and the others working hard.

When Lao Zhang looked up and saw Yu Ziqing, he immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out to salute.

"I have met His Majesty."

"No need to be polite, how are you preparing for the school affairs?"

Looking at Yu Ziqing's appearance, Lao Zhang felt inexplicably that his Majesty's aura had become much calmer, presumably as a result of many days of hard training.

"We are almost ready. I don't dare to make a rash decision. I will wait until His Majesty comes in person."

"Just talk about it."

"I have an old friend who was once a member of the imperial court. This time..."

…

The immovable continent.

In a quaint and grand palace deep in the mountains, Lao Yang was sitting there drinking, accompanied by the high priest of the black ship.

"Senior, I still haven't found the ancient demon I'm looking for. Do you need to contact me?"

"Not in a hurry."

"But, I said before that I would not leave the Demon King to celebrate the New Year, but now he has spent two years..."

"..."

Lao Yang's face turned dark.

Previously, when he sensed something was going on, he publicly manifested the body of a black dragon to arouse the power of Heaven.

On the one hand, it is to help the fist, and on the other hand, it is also to use this identity to attract the ancient demon who has never been found.

On the other hand, it was also to make a surprise attack and find King Jiu Nian.

However, in the end, the ancient demon did not appear at all, and he did not even notice its breath. He even wondered whether the unreliable cloud whale had made a mistake, or whether the awakened ancient demon's bloodline had died.

But this raid caught a trace of King Jiu Nian. It can be confirmed that the current King Jiu Nian was born as a black sky demon.

However, this is also a troublesome thing. As we all know, the black sky demons are the most numerous in number, with many types and different appearances, ranging from human to animal forms, including birds, insects, fish and beasts.

It was confirmed that he was born as a black sky demon, but it was not that easy to find.

Moreover, in the past few years, feeling the identity that Lao Yang revealed at that time, there were a lot of demon clans who wanted to take refuge, but the Fudo Immortal Dynasty also began to make moves.

It’s the last day of January, so cast your monthly vote.
