Chapter 1726 The mountains are difficult to overcome
As soon as Wei Ting learned of the massacre in Wansang Town, he had already activated the national defense formation and blocked the border, but apparently failed to lock Zhang Linchuan.
The experts from the Criminal Division of the State of Wei used all their skills and in a very short period of time, they had eliminated the 27 clues left at the scene one by one. However, they were unable to find any real traces of Zhang Linchuan... Not even where did he go?
The direction of escape cannot be determined.
After all, when the murder was discovered, it was already too late. There was too much room for maneuver.
Jiang Wang sent a letter to Southern Xinjiang, but he himself followed the anti-criminal team spread out by the Wei State General. According to the most likely escape route analyzed by the Criminal Division, he searched for Zhang Linchuan within the Southern Territory for two days.
The result was also nothing.
Zhang Linchuan seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, completely out of Wei's intelligence network. He never appeared in anyone's sight again.
He is like an evil beast in the dark night, sneaking into the dark night again after sunset.
During these two days, there was no response from Ruan Yuan at all. Instead, Chong Xuan Sheng's analysis was conveyed in a timely manner through Taixu Illusion Realm.
"Your intuition is right. Zhang Linchuan is indeed covering up something. Zhang Linchuan is absorbing innocent souls in Wei State to replenish the inanimate world. Everyone will feel that Zhang Linchuan is 'cultivating death to become a Taoist'. On the contrary, this should not be his
Purpose."
In the Xinghe Pavilion, Chongxuan Sheng said: "Because if he wants to achieve such a goal, what he should do is to hide himself as much as possible instead of exposing himself. His first action should not just kill tens of thousands.
When people are unprepared, they should kill as many people as possible the first time. If you want to become enlightened by killing, with Zhang Linchuan's wisdom and strategy, you can definitely take more dramatic actions."
Jiang Wangdao: "I feel that he is very calm, both in terms of his own life and the lives of others."
"We have temporarily reached a consensus on Zhang Linchuan's judgment." Chong Xuansheng squinted his eyes and said: "Let us take a look at what Zhang Linchuan did in the Wei State - massacre the town, provoking the Wei State with a blood letter, representing Wu Sheng
The Patriarch admitted this and stated that this was just the beginning of the Wusheng Cult’s revenge. What do you think is the point?”
He stopped, gave Jiang Wang some time to think, and then answered by himself: "The key point is irreplaceability. Of all the things he did in Wei, the only irreplaceable thing was his provocation against Wei. Where is the killing?
You can kill them all to retaliate for the destruction of Wusheng Cult, and you can also carry out it in other countries. Under the current situation, no matter where he commits the murder, his evil deeds will be spread quickly, so there is no reason to say that he can't create it.
More hate."
"So let's think about this question. If it was just to kill people and steal souls, to fill the inanimate world, why didn't Zhang Linchuan just find a small country? Why didn't he go to Cheng Country or Mo Country? Anyway, they were massacring civilians. In Wei and Zai
What's the difference between Cheng Guo doing such evil things?
After much thought, there is only one very strange and hard-to-understand point - he will encounter danger in Wei State, but not in countries like Cheng State and Mo State."
Chongxuan Sheng said: "The difference between choosing Wei and Cheng is the reason why Zhang Linchuan chose Wei. Whether I understand it or not, this is the only answer.
I don't know what the connection is. But we now know two things. First, Zhang Linchuan's main purpose must be to restore his cultivation and strengthen himself. Second, he chose to do such a thing in Wei State, and
Danger' related.
From this we can conclude that Zhang Linchuan's method of recovering his cultivation and strengthening himself requires the existence of factors such as 'danger'.
Chen Siwu told you that Zhang Linchuan seemed to be seeking death, and he was not wrong.
But he didn't really want to die, otherwise he should have chosen to go to Chu State to kill people and massacre the town.
His action strategy should be to 'put himself in a dangerous enough situation to achieve a certain goal, which will ultimately lead to him recovering his cultivation and strengthening himself'. At the same time, his choice must avoid situations that will make him die.
place."
The context of this is indeed very clear. As Jiang Wang listened, his specific understanding of Zhang Linchuan became clearer.
The first is self-confidence. Zhang Linchuan is more self-confident than he knew or imagined. Whether it is the Bone Evil God, the Overlord of the Eastern Region, or any other strong man and country, he dares to face anyone and plot against anyone. His life
There seems to be no word awe in it.
As a result, he has superhuman courage. Ignoring the life and death of others is not brave, and ignoring one's own life and death is sometimes a kind of cowardice. He is very obsessed with "living", but he can treat death calmly and calmly.
Facing danger...this kind of person can be said to have extraordinary courage.
On this basis, Zhang Linchuan is ruthless and has far-reaching calculations.
You must not be at all negligent when it comes to being an enemy of such a person.
"Will Zhang Linchuan make another move? Has his goal been achieved? I don't know." Chong Xuansheng said: "But if he will take the next step, Song Kingdom, Dan Kingdom, Longmen Academy, and Nandou Hall
, Jiange, these five places are the most likely. The two countries of Yue and Zhuang are the next most likely."
He paused and looked at Jiang Wang: "I hope Zhang Linchuan is still a few steps away from his goal, otherwise he may not show up again."
Jiang Wang stood up suddenly: "I will go to the Song Dynasty now to remind Chen Siwu that if Zhang Linchuan has gone to the Song Dynasty, he can just ask them to catch turtles in the jar. In the other places, I asked Guangshu to help me send a message and ask them to arrange it secretly.
Be lenient but strict within, so as to lure Zhang Linchuan into the situation."
Chong Xuansheng thought for a while and said: "Marquis Wu An's idea of doing things is already very appropriate... please take care of yourself."
Jiang Wang didn't say anything more, and his figure had disappeared from Xinghe Pavilion.
…
Time is running out, and Jiang Wang will never waste it or give Zhang Linchuan more room to move. He exited the Taixu Illusion Realm, briefly explained a few words to the person in charge of the pursuit in Wei State, and then went to Song State.
go.
Flying all the way, running without stopping.
Chen Siwu was obviously very surprised by Jiang Wang's arrival, but he also received him politely.
With the highest courtesy of a scholar, he invited Jiang Wang to his study for a chat.
The house is filled with books filled with treasures, but unfortunately visitors don’t pay much attention to them.
The person we talked about in the Yanyun Mountain Underground Palace was Zhang Linchuan, and the person we are talking about now is also Zhang Linchuan. It seems that Zhang Linchuan is more important than these thousands of years of cultural romance... It is a bit regretful to call him Chen Siwu.
But he was a man of etiquette, and Fengya only asked for himself, and would not force others. So he started communicating with Jiang Wang about Zhang Linchuan.
After listening to Jiang Wang explain the situation in Wei State in a few words, he also said with emotion: "We did such evil things in Wei State, but Wei State didn't catch any trace at all? Zhang Linchuan is really a bit evil.
."
Jiang Wang went straight to the point: "I'm here to remind Brother Chen to be careful with Zhang Linchuan. He must have an agenda to make trouble like this. The next target is probably the Song Dynasty."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your concern." Chen Siwu was obviously full of confidence in the Song Dynasty's defense: "Since the Yanyun Mountain underground palace incident, our country has entered a state of alert. From Shangqiu to the border towns, all passes must be strictly inspected.
, not even a strange fly can fly over. All departments are on standby for twelve hours. If Zhang Linchuan dares to come to this cultural place, he will be buried here!"
When Jiang Wang heard this, he knew that Chen Siwu didn't really take it to heart. He obviously didn't think that Zhang Linchuan dared to come to the Song Dynasty to run wild at this time.
But when it comes to strict inspections at passes and vigilance in various places, isn’t that the same in Wei?
What about the end?
Zhang Linchuan still committed evil deeds, managed to escape, and disappeared without a trace.
"Brother Chen, please pay attention to this matter." Jiang Wang said very seriously: "I have always known that the Song Dynasty has outstanding people and a very profound background. But Zhang Linchuan is a very cunning person who has lost human nature and cannot be judged by common sense. I even doubt that he
Maybe he has sneaked into the Song Dynasty now."
At that moment, he explained Chong Xuan Sheng's analysis and the information he summarized about Zhang Linchuan to Chen Siwu in detail. His words were extremely sincere. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he spoke with sincerity.
When discussing the defense of other countries, it is easy for people to feel bad about pointing fingers. But Jiang Wang's attitude was so sincere, and Chen Siwu was an tolerant character, so he actually listened to it.
He thought for a long time, saluted Jiang Wang, and said solemnly: "Brother Jiang's analysis is reasonable. Zhang Linchuan really cannot be underestimated. I will immediately promote the secret screening operation throughout the Song Dynasty. If Zhang Linchuan has sneaked into our country, he will definitely
There is no way he can escape again!"
…
…
"If I capture Zhang Linchuan, I will skin him, eat his flesh raw, and chew his bones to pieces!" said the red-eyed Wei general in the military tent fiercely.
The discussion, analysis and curses on Zhang Linchuan were not limited to one person in one place, let alone one moment.
There were a circle of generals sitting around the brazier, and the firelight danced and illuminated their gnashed teeth.
"Okay." Tan Wenqi said, "Zhang Linchuan will never die if he scolds him."
He especially looked at the one with the loudest voice, and said in a cold voice: "Who allows you to drink alcohol while performing official duties? Go back and take the blame!"
The general who was called out did not protest, he just gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers are not willing to give in!"
Zhang Linchuan's escape is a fact, and this is what those of them who are still fighting for it must face.
Qin Wenqi was silent for a moment and then said: "Qi Wuanhou left without any letter, probably because he did not invite Ruan Zhenjun. Tomorrow you take people back first, and I will go to Mount Sumeru to see if I can persuade Zen Master Dong Xingnian to take action.
."
Zen Master Xing Nian of Mount Xumi is the highest attainer of the "Future Star Tribulation Sutra" in this world. He will not lose to Ruan Yuan when it comes to peering into destiny.
But even so, he knew in his heart that the chance was slim.
For one thing, the longer time passes, the weaker the connection between Wansang Town and Zhang Linchuan becomes. Even for Zen Master Xingnian, it is far more difficult to trace the whereabouts of the demon now than it was a few days ago.
How could a person like Zen Master Erze Xingnian care about his feelings? He didn't care much about Wei Guo's face. No matter how much merit money he brought, the other party would probably dismiss it. Apart from the future of Mount Sumeru, Buddhism
I'm afraid there's nothing worthy of Zen Master Xing Nian's intervention in the Dharma. He said he was worshiping the mountain on behalf of the Wei State, but he might not be able to see the real Buddha.
But if he doesn't give it a try, how can he be willing?
Although the pursuit of Wei State is still continuing, it is still quite vigorous. But Zhang Linchuan has already escaped!
The Wei State will not give up the pursuit of Zhang Linchuan, but the resources that can be mobilized for such a Mao Shen-level cult leader are quite limited, and it is impossible to spend the entire country on this matter.
And the limited resources...are simply not enough to kill Zhang Linchuan.
This is a paradox, but it is also a reality he has to face.
Hearing what Tan Wenqi said, the generals under his command also gritted their teeth, swallowed their blood and tears, stood up gradually, and turned around to lead the troops.
Soon, only Tan Wenqi was left in this military tent stationed in the wild.
Only at this moment did he show signs of fatigue.
A veteran general like him on the battlefield is not afraid of the charge of tens of thousands of troops, nor how brave the enemy generals are. He just opens up the formation and fights hard.
But for an opponent like Zhang Linchuan, he really felt like he was trying to pull a turtle and had no way of making a move.
If you can't find anyone at all, how can you deal with it?
This person has no relatives, no family, no friends, and the Wusheng Sect he founded is gone. If you want to follow the vines, there are no vines to follow.
Even if all of these exist, it is unlikely that they will affect Zhang Linchuan.
During this period of time, so many people in the Wusheng Cult died one after another, and how many devout believers cried out for help from the Lord? Zhang Linchuan didn't even say white smoke.
Such ruthless people don't care about anyone at all.
Tan Wenqi looked at the brazier in front of him in silence, feeling furious that he wanted to kick it over. Even he felt that he had nowhere to use all his strength, and he was filled with hatred that he could not release.
Full of hatred...
He felt his anger filling his chest.
Bang bang!
He felt that his heart was beating very fast and heavily.
Not good! Tan Wenqi, who has been through battle for a long time, noticed something was wrong at this moment, suddenly woke up, and the soldiers rose up like a tide.
But the next moment——
Gaba!
His sternum tore through the flesh and blood, like a door, opening to both sides. His chest cracked open, and a bright red heart jumped out!
Tan Wenqi stared at his heart, and saw that the heart was also filled with cracks, and then it shattered like petals, and a pale white seed jumped out from the middle.
The seed just jumped in the air and swelled when it saw the light, transforming into a man with an unremarkable face.
"Zhang, Lin, Chuan?" Tan Wenqi saw that his eyes were split, and he heard his own voice sounding so painfully.
Although he had never seen this person with his own eyes, and even though his eyes were covered in blood, he was very sure that the person who appeared in front of him at this moment was Zhang Linchuan, the ancestor of the Wusheng Cult.
Zhang Linchuan left a total of 27 pointing clues in Wansang Town to mislead the tracking, and also designed to interfere with the Xinlan County Sheriff, buying himself more time to escape.
But these are still just pretenses.
Zhang Linchuan was hiding in Wansang Town, hiding in the heart of his Tan Wenqi, and did not escape at all. No wonder the entire Wei State Criminal Division went crazy and couldn't find any trace of Wu Shengjiaozu!
When was it? Qin Wenqi thought painfully... was it the first time he entered Wansang Town, smelled the bloody smell, and felt angry for the first time? It was when he hung up the Xinlan County Sheriff with his own hands and wished he could chop him into pieces.
His time?
He couldn't remember exactly when he was tricked.
What is more painful than the sternum tearing the chest or the heart cracking is——
He sealed off Wansang Town, watched the plight of his own people, vowed to avenge those innocent people, and spared no effort in the pursuit of Zhang Linchuan, but in the end it was he who personally sent Zhang Linchuan out of Wei!
And at this moment...
Zhang Linchuan opened his eyes. There was a brief daze in his eyes, as if he had just woken up.
But seeing Qin Wenqi's appearance and hearing Qin Wenqi's voice, he had regained his sealed "self".
The "Evil Seed" has harvested Tan Wenqi first and destroyed Tan Wenqi's ability to resist.
He didn't say anything nonsense, he just raised his hand and pressed the Qin Wenqi into the ground, turning it into a puddle of mud mixed with flesh, blood and broken bones.
During this activity in Wei State, he did not fight against Wu Xun, nor did he even experience any fierce battle. However, the process was so dangerous that it was many times more dangerous than the one in the Yanyun Mountain Underground Palace!
During the entire process of inhabiting the evil seed, sealing himself, and hiding in Tan Wenqi's body, he knew almost nothing about the outside world.
As soon as it is discovered, it will immediately lead to death.
Once Wu Xun came in person, and Dongfang Shi, who once presided over the Dragon and Tiger Altar, was nearby for divination. It can be said that as long as he left a little trick or exposed a little flaw, he would be dead now.
He is in danger all the time, not just on the edge of a narrow escape?
Although every step he took was impeccable, and the final concealment was almost perfect. But the perfection of the divine level was full of mistakes in front of real people. He had a vision of the true level, so he could only "fill in the gaps" as much as possible, which was impossible.
"No leaks".
But which real person would specifically have insight into a general like Qin Wenqi who has achieved divine presence for many years?
That was almost like stripping off Tan Wenqi's clothes and showing them to the public, which was a great shame and humiliation.
Zhang Linchuan knew very well that once the incident in Wansang Town was discovered, Wei Ting would definitely block the border first. A strong man like the Dongfang Division should also prioritize the sealing of various checkpoints to prevent the murderer from escaping.
Because the murderer has given himself time to escape, according to normal logic, blocking the escape route is definitely the most important step. Seal the scene and investigate the evidence is the second priority.
It was this time difference that he was playing, and he quietly planted the seeds of evil in Tan Wenqi, and then sealed himself and hid himself in it.
Of course, even if he carried out his plan to this extent, he would still be in a life-and-death crisis for a long time.
As long as Tan Wenqi has a little bit of self-awareness, and if Master Dongfang looks at Tan Wenqi more than once, maybe he will have to confess that he was in Wei...
Fortunately not.
What he had planned earlier was to wait until the alert level of Wei State was lowered before killing Tan Wenqi and leaving.
But I didn't expect that Tan Wenqi, as one of the people in charge of hunting down the Wu Sheng Cult Ancestor, left the Wei Kingdom and took him directly out of danger. This was an extremely good result.
Could it be that he killed too many people and was favored by God?
This really made him feel a little bit humorous.
Turning over these things indifferently in his heart, Zhang Linchuan took back his palm and just said: "The second calamity is over."
His aura was obviously stronger.
With just a touch of his pale palm, he used his "rootless" magical power to cut off the connection and then disappeared into the military tent.
…
…
Jiang Wang was sitting at Chen Siwu's home, waiting for the results of Song Ting's nationwide secret screening.
Zuo Guangshu had already sent reminders about Zhang Linchuan to important figures in Dan Kingdom, Longmen Academy, Nandou Hall, Jiange, Yue Kingdom, Zhuang Kingdom and other places through the channels of the Duke of Huai Kingdom.
Yes, even Zhuang Guo was informed by Zuo Guangshu.
Because what he hated was never the people of the Zhuang Kingdom, but Zhuang Gao, who regarded the people as material for cultivation, as bargaining chips, and as dirt and grass.
The debt between him and Zhuang Gao, Xian Du Ruhui, can be settled at any time, but he cannot just sit back and watch Zhang Linchuan go to Zhuang Kingdom to slaughter people wantonly.
Now he only hopes that Zhang Linchuan has infiltrated the Song Dynasty, or is preparing to infiltrate the Song Dynasty.
So that he could end all this as soon as possible.
The bloody storm has been going on for too long, and the people of the world should not be confused for a long time because of Zhang Linchuan, the ancestor of Wusheng Cult. He should not let Lin Youxie's legacy wait too long.
The reason why I chose to come to Song Dynasty.
This is because Zhang Linchuan has taken risks many times and is good at exploiting people's psychological blind spots to play "dark under the light" style. The Song Dynasty is the most likely place for his next move -
The premise is that he really has the next move.
Hatred can blind a person's eyes, and so can anger.
So Jiang Wang repeatedly told himself to be calm. To deal with enemies like Zhang Linchuan with a cold calmness similar to Zhang Linchuan.
He kept constructing "Zhang Linchuan" in his mind like a dream.
Not only the image of this person, but also his character, his magic, his supernatural powers, his speech and behavior.
He needs to understand his enemy as he understands himself.
Ye Qingyu sent a lot of information about the White Bone Path, Zuo Guangshu had a lot of information about the Wusheng Cult, and Chong Xuansheng was based in Linzi and was constantly integrating information from all parties...
These are very helpful.
Jiang Wang was studying Zhang Linchuan seriously as if he were studying a top secret skill, with an attitude that was almost obsessive.
He had imagined thousands of times how he would strike his first sword...just waiting for Zhang Linchuan to appear in front of him.
At this moment, the old sword coin that had never moved on his body suddenly jumped out, traced a mysterious and mysterious trajectory in the air, and hung not far in front of him.
It seems to be within reach, but also seems to be outside of the five senses.
The voice of Qintian Supervisor Zheng Ruan Yuan sounded from the sword——
"it's me."
The letter sent to the Nanxia Governor's Mansion was like a stone, and Jiang Wang originally thought that Ruan Zhenjun had rejected him.
He had also thought about asking Yu Beidou to do divination, but he could not contact Yu Beidou at all through the new sword money Yu Beidou gave him.
He had no choice but to give up the idea of relying on experts' divination and continue to fight Zhang Linchuan in other ways.
Unexpectedly, news about Ruan Yuan came at this time.
"Master Jianzheng!" Jiang Wang immediately sat upright.
"I am tired of worldly affairs, and now I have some free time." Ruan Yang did not waste time, explained, and said: "If you tell a hexagram, the cause and effect will be repaid. Please ask me to take action, the price is very heavy, Wu'an Marquis, you have something
Are you ready?"
Jiang Wang just cupped his hands and said, "Please, Mr. Jianzheng, don't hesitate to do the divination. Jiang Wang is already prepared. If the money is available, Jiang Wang is willing to spend all his family wealth. If the money is available, Jiang Wang is willing to do the hard work of a dog or horse."
It is the rule of Gua Dao that cause and effect must be repaid. Even if Emperor Qi asked Ruan Yuan to take action, he would have to pay something, and of course Jiang Wang was no exception. He would give Ruan Yuan whatever he wanted.
"Four years of fame are all used up for selfish hatred." Ruan Yuan sighed: "I know the determination of Marquis Wu An."
The master of astrology did not discuss the price, but only said: "I have read your letter with my own eyes. The bones and blood are very clear, and it can reflect the scene of Sang Town in the late Wei Dynasty."
He changed the topic: "But I can't take possession of those dead people in Wansang Town."
Jiang Wang was a little stunned: "Why?"
Ruan Yuan said with emotion: "I am afraid that everyone in the world has underestimated this ancestor of the Inanimate Cult. There is still a game in the game. I can't take it because none of the dead souls in Wansang Town actually entered the inanimate world, but were put into the inanimate world."
Netherworld. Zhang Linchuan relied on the Bone Holy Body to do evil, used the specious Bone Secret Technique, and pointed the killing to the Netherworld. If any divination master really gets to the bottom of it, it is not Zhang Linchuan who is being blamed, but the White Bone Evil God!"
