If you look at the same thing from different angles, you will get different results.
Zhang Shen didn't even think about the war, so what he saw was naturally based on the fact that he couldn't afford the war.
In this way, another scene will appear in his eyes.
The whole thing was a conspiracy from beginning to end!
Someone deliberately sent the Jujiu cub to Jiang Ning, with the purpose of provoking a war between the forbidden area of life and Dongzhou!
Wen Fengming frowned.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered Zhang Shendu's conjecture. The question was, if that was true, how did the other party know that Jiang Ning was his junior brother?
You know, even Jiang Ning didn't know that he had been spotted by the old gods of Shangqing Taoist Temple and wanted to be accepted as a disciple.
After thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head and objected: "The possibility is very small. Before today, except the teacher and me, no one knew that he was my future junior brother."
The future...little junior brother?
Not yet... The woodcutter, who was still a little excited at first, rolled his eyes and continued to sharpen his sky-opening axe.
I thought there was a big conspiracy, so happy for nothing!
Zhang Shendu obviously did not expect this to happen and remained silent for a long time.
"Well, since the seven desolate kings have all agreed to go to the desolate fortress, we do need to go out of the city to pick up the cultivators who have escaped, so let's do it according to your method."
"Take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to the deserted area and return Dongzhou to a pure land!"
Finally, Zhang Shendu also compromised.
Even though there were millions of reluctances in his heart, he knew that he was powerless to change this matter.
Under the command of the pioneer officer, the gates of the Zhenshi Great Wall were opened wide, and the Zhenshi garrison composed of the five courtyards, four sects, major aristocratic families, and casual cultivators marched out of the city.
The sword points at the deserted fortress!
And as the team marched toward the hinterland of the deserted fortress, no one noticed that in an inconspicuous village corner within the Great Wall, a small hill suddenly protruded from the originally flat ground...
On the other side, inside the Blackwater Lake.
Jiang Ning lost consciousness and his body kept sinking in the black water lake.
The icy-cold lake water filled every inch of his skin, and the stinging sensation was like being pricked by thousands of fine needles like cow hair.
Perhaps the pain was too unbearable, and Jiang Ning's scattered consciousness slowly began to condense under constant stimulation.
As time passed, he finally regained consciousness!
But after recovering, Jiang Ning found that the pain in his body was not relieved, but the feeling became more intense and clear, especially when he noticed that something was drilling into his nose at this moment.
He really wanted to open his eyes and get out of the current situation, but his eyelids felt like there were thousands of kilograms of iron pendants hanging on them. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't open them.
The body was unable to move, and the internal organs also suffered from unbearable burning pain due to injuries.
At this moment, Jiang Ning just wished that his consciousness could not collapse again.
"What the hell!"
As soon as his thoughts crossed his mind, the cold and slippery feeling in his nose brought a strong sense of suffocation.
It's lake water!
The water from the Blackwater Lake was like a living thing at the moment, pouring crazily into Jiang Ning's nose and into his body.
"Help...help!"
Jiang Ning was not very good at water. When he was at Qingling Academy, in order to practice the "Five Arts of Thunder Movement", Su Zhao kicked him into the water and almost drowned him.
With a strong desire to survive, Jiang Ning took back control of his body. He instinctively opened his mouth to call for help, but in exchange, more lake water poured into his body.
And the strange thing is that when the lake water poured into his mouth, he found that he couldn't shut up!
The water is less like water and more like a giant python!
If he continues like this, even if he doesn't drown, he will still be held alive by the lake water.
Jiang Ning began to struggle and wanted to swim towards the lake.
But the more he did this, the faster his body sank, and mud and bones appeared around him.
Jiang Ning sank to the bottom of the lake!
The bottom of the lake was piled with white bones. Lying on it made my back hurt.
You don’t need to think about it to know that these are the creatures in the hands of the dead Black Water King Leech. Among them are people, beasts, and birds...
But Jiang Ning didn't care about this, he just wanted to get out of the water now.
The ants are still trying to survive, but who is willing to die?
Unfortunately, the severe injuries to his physical body and the constant flooding of the lake not only prevented him from floating up, but also caused the physical body he had just controlled to become separated from his consciousness again.
The water in the lake surged more and more fiercely, even forming a small whirlpool on the surface of the lake. With the appearance of the whirlpool, the burning pain in Jiangning's internal organs began to gradually subside.
But this is not a good thing.
Because what was also slowed down was the temperature of Jiang Ning’s body!
He was heading towards a cold corpse.
"Sure enough, there is still no other way..."
Jiang Ning still wanted to do something, but his struggle with consciousness became weaker and weaker, and the pupils in his eyes began to blur.
The dark pupils seemed to fade from black to gray, and finally turned white...
The lake gradually stopped its carnage.
Because this new guest has become one with himself, he will stay with him here in the days to come, slowly rotting away.
Until it becomes the same as the one next to it... white bones!
The lake surface fell silent again, and the whirlpool that appeared just now had long since disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
By the quiet black water lake, the moonlight pouring down on it can't even dim the brightness. Under its dead, dark surface, unknown fear is quietly blooming.
Jiang Ning, lying at the bottom of the lake, was completely swallowed up by darkness, and he seemed to have fallen into a deep hole without a bottom.
In this hole, he kept falling and falling. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not be saved.
Endless falling, the bottom that can never be seen, Jiang Ning doesn't know how long he will persist in this state, maybe a day, maybe a year, maybe... forever!
"Is this what it looks like after death..."
He thought mockingly to himself.
Suddenly, a mung bean appeared at the far end!
No, not mung beans!
It is getting bigger and expanding at an extremely fast speed...
That was... When Jiang Ning's eyes were completely filled with mung beans, he was stunned.
What is in front of me is not a mung bean at all, but... a bronze compass!
However, the bronze compass at this moment became very large, larger than the largest millstone he had ever seen.
"Ancestor, you are going to become a spirit!" Jiang Ning murmured subconsciously.
Perhaps because he understood what he said, the bronze compass suddenly became illuminated, completely enveloping Jiang Ning.
At the same time, at the bottom of the Blackwater Lake, a clear light gradually rose from Jiang Ning's Dantian.
The clear light is only the size of a mung bean, but it is extremely bright. It is immersed in the pitch-black bottom of the lake, like a gem that has been buried for thousands of years.
Gulu!
Suddenly, in the dead black water lake, directly opposite Jiang Ning's belly button, a blister appeared out of thin air.
And its appearance was like a spark igniting a fuel barrel, immediately making the entire Blackwater Lake boil.
More and more blisters appear one after another, break, appear, break again...
The behavior of the lake water seemed to anger the bronze compass, and the clear light that was originally the size of a bean suddenly skyrocketed several feet.
I don't know what the power of this clear light is, but all the lake water shrouded in the clear light is evaporated into thick white smoke, which penetrates into Jiang Ning's body along the seven orifices...
