Chapter 308: Tomorrow's attack is true and false(1/3)
Just to be honest, Zhou Dunyi could have detained this military supervisor for the crime of disrupting the morale of the army just because of his words and deeds over the past few days.
However, Zhou Dunyi would not have done such a thing, otherwise he would not have just sent Xiang Yan to investigate the matter first, but in name it was an investigation. In fact, what Xiang Yan did was nothing more than to control the captain surnamed Chen. After all, no matter how the captain surnamed Chen looked, it was a bit dangerous now.
The difference between the military formation and the Taoist formation, haha, after Zhou Dunyi's painstaking packaging, a general lieutenant who had no influence in Zhou Dunyi could actually see these disguises.
It’s not that Zhou Dunyi boasted, but because of these methods, Zhou Dunyi’s confidence last year was enough to explain something. At least even if you let General Nanli of Xiang Yan turn around the outer circle of the military formation, if Xiang Yan didn’t know any inside information before, even if he couldn’t see anything wrong, of course, if Xiang Yan had checked for several days in a row, he would definitely observe some clues in the end.
However, Xiang Yan is Xiang Yan, Xiang Yan is the General of Nanli. Among the hundreds of generals in Nanli, they are all top-notch generals. However, the captain of Chen, who had no idea what skills, saw something wrong not long after the formation was put out, and even directly discovered something wrong.
Haha, such a strange thing, unless Zhou Dunyi and the others were stunned, Zhou Dunyi would never be able to notice anything wrong.
Moreover, there is a Taoist formation set up at the entrance of the valley of Tianzhu Mountain this time. It is the Three-Pure Magic Formation that has a number of Taoist formations. This is the powerful formation that is second only to the highest taboo level formation among Taoist formations. It is rarely known on this continent alone. Even Taoist disciples are very qualified to touch this level of secret formation.
The Three Clear Magic Formation was built by the souls of the three ancestors of the Taoist Sect as the array eye, and the mind power of the Taoist Sect is the magic power of the large formation. After the formation is formed, suppressing and destroying top-level evil cultivators will also be destroyed in an ashes.
Of course, this is the Three Pure Magic Formation that has completely opened its heyday and can be called a complete body. This power is only found in the Taoist sect's literature records. In fact, the Taoist sect has been developing for many years now, but no one has seen the Three Pure Magic Formation that has a complete body in the literature records.
Even the Three-Purpose Magic Formation that Eunuch Qian at that time was actually just the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable Magic Formation, one of the branches of the Three-Purpose Magic Formation. However, even with this branch formation, Eunuch Qian could only use some fur to completely release the power of its magic Formation. Otherwise, to suppress the mere old ghost at the foot of the Tianzhu Mountain, the full power of this magic Formation could be said to be more than enough.
Not to mention that the magic array that Zhou Dunyi and the others set up now is just the form of the magic array of Eunuch Qian back then. Whether it is the details, the array eyes and the formation mind power, they are far from the magic array set up by Eunuch Qian back then.
This is more important to know that the magic array set up by Eunuch Qian back then only showed some fur, but what Zhou Dunyi and others have now laid out is strictly speaking the fur in the fur and suppression effect?
If the old ghost's combat power and cultivation were even better than those of twenty years ago, their simple and crude magic array could not stop the old ghost from having any time.
However, although the formation set up by Zhou Dunyi and the others now lacks power, in terms of appearance, it actually looks much more powerful than the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable magic array set up by Master Gan back then.
After all, at that time, the father-in-law had only a few dozen Jinyiwei. The formation set up by Zhou Dunyi and the others mobilized more than 6,000 Zhou Wangwei, and everyone in Zhou Wangwei had internal strength. You should know that the soldiers of the first army all had internal strength. What does this mean?
This represents the combat effectiveness of this Zhou Wangwei, and it will not lose to any main battle legion of the Nanli Empire. Of course, if a main battle legion fights all the way, Zhou Wangwei can only avoid its edge.
However, the old ghost used to decorate and confuse Tianzhu Mountain was more than enough in Zhou Dunyi's opinion.
In other words, from the beginning, Zhou Dunyi and Liu Shouyou did not really intend to rely on a mere formation to block the old ghost, because no matter how hard they tried, it would be impossible to exert the power of this formation to half of what they had done at the beginning.
It would be enough to confuse the old ghost for a few days. Anyway, what they really have to do is just to delay the old ghost's time. As long as the people from Jinling arrive, the old ghost will not have to worry about it, and they can breathe a sigh of relief with confidence.
So in terms of decoration and disguise, Zhou Dunyi and Liu Shouyou have spent all their thoughts. For the Shangzhou garrison army and the generals who went on expedition, Zhou Wangwei at the entrance of the valley put out a vast and murderous military formation, and for the old ghost deep in the valley.
The entrance of the valley has a spiritual treasure heavenly magic circle that suppressed him twenty years ago and brought him tragic memories. This deterrent force has always been a two-way deterrent for the old ghost deep in the valley and the soldiers of the Shangzhou garrison outside the valley and the generals and generals.
This is why Zhou Dunyi doesn't have to keep an eye on the entrance of the valley all the time, but can stay leisurely in the military camp.
Because he had made sufficient preparations, even if the magic circle was discovered by the old ghost and was just a fancy, he had prepared some backup plans. Those backup plans, according to Zhou Dunyi's plan, it would be possible to stop the old ghost for two days.
But relatively speaking, the ace guard under his command, Zhou Wangwei, had to pay some losses for this.
But if this old ghost can be completely suppressed and wiped out, Zhou Dunyi will make a choice for this transaction without hesitation.
He loves soldiers as good as his son. He is notorious for his unnecessary sacrifice and fearless hope. However, keeping the old ghost and continuing to live in the world is a huge sin for Zhou Dunyi.
Since ancient times, it is true that Zhou Dunyi loves soldiers as much as his son, but if you really want to fantasize Zhou Dunyi as a kind army leader, then you are very wrong.
The combat power of Zhou Wangwei among the many legions of the Nanli Empire can be considered as the top priority. The position of Zhou Wangwei naturally became Zhou Dunyi's trump card.
However, Zhou Dunyi chose to use this trump card in front of an old ghost. After all, no matter what, that old ghost was an evil cultivator who slaughtered a village in the Nanli Empire, not to mention that even his father-in-law did not suppress him. Zhou Dunyi did not feel any distress in this trump card of Zhou Wangwei to deal with this old ghost.
However, the bizarre behavior of this captain named Chen made Zhou Dunyi feel some dangerous atmosphere. The behavior of the captain surnamed Chen was in dire straits with the military supervisor was nothing, because Zhou Dunyi had seen such people too many times, which was considered human nature, and there was no need to remember them in his heart.
However, according to what the military supervisor said, the captain surnamed Chen seemed to have changed from beginning to end a few days ago, and pointed out the formation behind the military formation.
This is not difficult for Zhou Dunyi to have some speculation about the captain surnamed Chen.
He has heard of it. Some evil cultivators have some means to deceive people. In other words, is this captain named Chen now an example of the mind being confused by the old ghost of Tianzhu Mountain?
If it weren't for this that might be a bit too dangerous, Zhou Dunyi wouldn't have told Xiang Yan that way, asking Xiang Yan to capture the captain surnamed Chen directly.
Because if this possibility exists, it means that there must be no slowness or hesitation in these things. If you do observation or something, you will be spared. Otherwise, if the possibility in the future is true, it will be too late.
"Mr. Supervisor, you should stay here for the time being. Before General Xiang comes back and before things settle, it is safer for you to stay here for the Gu."
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Dunyi said this to the military supervisor. In a tone that seemed almost commanding, it turned out to be so harsh to the military supervisor.
But when he immediately thought about it, he suddenly felt that what Zhou Dunyi said was about the safety of his life. Although he could not guess the possibility that Zhou Dunyi was thinking about.
But just based on Zhou Dunyi's actions that did not want him to know about the matter of Captain Chen, the words that Captain Chen had said to him must have been a ill-gotten plot.
If the captain surnamed Chen had a bad plan, it means that his current state is already very dangerous.
It would be fine if I didn't obstruct the valley affairs as what Captain Chen said to me. I have come to Zhou Dunyi's camp and have been alone with Zhou Dunyi for so long.
In the military camp, it is not difficult for Captain Chen to know about this. So, if Captain Chen really had a bad intention at the beginning, then after seeing himself doing this, as long as he leaves Zhou Dunyi's protection scope, his life will be safe.
It's really possible that it can't be guaranteed.
After figuring out these, the military supervisor looked at Zhou Dunyi with a little gratitude, and Zhou Dunyi nodded slightly and said nothing else.
"Mr. Supervisor, then Captain Chen, do you still remember something wrong with him when he was with you?"
Zhou Dunyi narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't believe that Captain Chen could do nothing. Even if Captain Chen was really confused by the old ghost of Tianzhu Mountain, he would definitely not be able to do it perfectly.
As the saying goes, there must be a misunderstanding in a hundred secrets. Zhou Dunyi believes that there will definitely be some omissions in the Captain Chen. Now, it depends on whether the military supervisor remembers the omissions.
The military supervisor lowered his head and thought for a while, frowned and said with uncertainty.
"There is a detail that I don't know if it counts. Yesterday, when Captain Chen came to me, he was holding something in his hand. He held it with his right hand."
"What's in your right hand? Is there anything wrong with that?"
Zhou Dunyi didn't understand what this meant at the first time. It was after the military supervisor continued to explain later that Zhou Dunyi understood.
"I think my memory is OK. When I was with Captain Chen before, I remember that he always held weapons and some things with his left hand. I specifically asked him about this. The explanation he gave me was that he had a left hand and was not used to using his right hand. Even after so many years, this habit has been developed. Most of the time he would use his left hand subconsciously."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Dunyi's eyes lit up suddenly.
Good guy, this sentence is the most critical evidence.
"Is Zuo Lishou? It seems that Gu's guess is not wrong."
Zhou Dunyi chuckled, he raised his head and looked at the somewhat puzzled military supervisor, and said with a smile
"It's better to wait for General Xiang to come back and talk to the Supervisor. But what Gu can tell the Supervisor in advance is that if Gu was half sure of his own judgment just now, after the Supervisor's words, Gu is already 70% or 80% sure."
"Oh oh oh, so that's it, then I'll wait patiently."
The military supervisor nodded a little confusedly, and then he sat aside and waited patiently.
As for Zhou Dunyi, when the military supervisor did not notice, a look of hatred flashed through his eyes.
Yes, my initial judgment is now 70% or 80% sure, and to be precise, Captain Chen is indeed no longer the original Captain Chen.
It is possible that he was not only confused by the old ghost in Tianzhu Mountain, because if he was confused, these habits he had developed over the years would not change, but would not have completely changed the mind.
But now, based on the details mentioned by this military supervisor, Zhou Dunyi can be sure that Captain Chen is probably not a human being now.
It’s not human that it means that the old ghost of Tianzhu Mountain is now possible.
No, it shouldn't be the old ghost himself, it should be the corpse ghoul raised by the old ghost.
When Zhou Dunyi was here, he suddenly remembered that when Liu Shouyou introduced the evil cultivator to him, he accidentally mentioned the corpse ghost raised by this old ghost.
The Jinyiwei's archive clearly contains a lot of evil cultivators on the mainland, and Liu Shouyou and his friends had hunted many evil cultivators on the mainland before they met the old ghost of Tianzhu Mountain.
Among these evil cultivators, most of them can learn some methods of raising corpses, especially some southern evil cultivators near the Nanli Empire. The method of raising corpses is also a necessary skill for these evil cultivators.
The old ghost in Tianzhu Mountain, when Liu Shouyou and his friends suppressed him twenty years ago, they had never seen any of the old ghosts. After the suppression was over, they still felt a little confused about this.
Because according to the cultivation level of the old ghost in Tianzhu Mountain, he should have raised many corpse ghosts, but from beginning to end, his father-in-law never saw any corpse ghosts raised by this old ghost appeared.
After all, I thought that the matter was settled. Although my father-in-law was a little confused, he comforted himself and felt that the old ghost might be an exception.
However, according to the current perspective, Liu Shouyou can understand it.
It turns out that the old ghost has not had corpse ghosts, and the corpse ghosts raised by the old ghost should be extremely strong.
Now that I think about the three-level suppression methods, the old ghost in Tianzhu Mountain was able to save his life from the three-level suppression methods. In addition to his extremely powerful cultivation, it is better to let the corpse ghosts he raised consume a lot of the three-level suppression methods on his behalf.
So if you explain this, it makes sense that the old ghost in Tianzhu Mountain was able to save his life from the three-level suppression methods back then.
However, twenty years have passed, and Liu Shouyou didn't believe it. The old ghost has never raised a corpse ghost in the past twenty years.
So it is precisely because of this that Liu Shouyoucai had told Zhou Dunyi specifically about this matter, and the meaning was very simple, that is, to make Zhou Dunyi pay more attention to this matter, and it is best to keep some help to deal with these corpses that may suddenly appear.
The corpse ghosts raised by the old ghost in Tianzhu Mountain should not be comparable to ordinary ghosts in every aspect. Therefore, some things that ordinary ghosts cannot do happen at the hands of the old ghost in Tianzhu Mountain, which is acceptable.
If this is the case, it would be considered ordinary to hide in the army with a corpse and ghost.
When Zhou Dunyi thought of this, he frowned and called out loudly to Taishi Ci who had been staying outside the tent and waiting for instructions.
After Taishici entered the camp, Zhou Dunyi raised his hand and signaled that he would not have to bow. Then, Zhou Dunyi asked.
"Captain Taishi, have anyone from the army entered the valley these days?"
Taishi Ci frowned. After thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and replied.
"The army leader, since the Zhou Wangwei blocked the entrance to the valley, no one has entered the valley. However, on the day before the blockade, among the fifty soldiers sent by his subordinates, there were several strange faces following them into the depths of the valley. Apart from this, his subordinates could not remember anything else."
When Zhou Dunyi heard Taishi Ci say this, his eyes lit up instantly.
Sure enough, if this is the case, everything will be explained.
Then Zhou Dunyi waved his hand and finally ordered Taishici
"General Xiang has just gone out, you know that now you can take ten Zhou Wangwei to find General Xiang. After discovering General Xiang's figure, no matter what he is doing or who he is fighting with, you have to help General Xiang for no reason and take that person down. Do you know?"
