Low-level monks compete for cultivation resources.
High-level monks compete for immortality.
There is no doubt that the powerful belong to the latter group.
If a true immortal can emerge from a family, it can almost guarantee that the family will be at its peak for thousands of years to come. All members of the family can benefit a lot from it. The powerful class is separated from the royal family, and other members of the family will be at their peak.
The fundamental reason is that the royal family rules the three states, and the powerful class hopes to be promoted to true immortals.
This contradiction could not be reconciled from the beginning unless the royal family made concessions.
Otherwise, as the powerful class grows, there are more and more high-level monks in the family, and the desire for immortality becomes stronger. This power, like the magma suppressed underground, will eventually burst out one day. Back then, assisting the royal family
The fighting family eventually became the main force in overthrowing the royal family.
Underground, Ning Yi sighed.
The royal family was obviously aware of the hidden crisis in the empire, so they deliberately opened a hole in Yunzhou to vent the power that the powerful class had been brewing for thousands of years.
In any case, Nanao has grasped the vital point of the powerful people.
His proposal moved the hearts of all the speakers present, and what is more certain is that these speakers knew exactly what the master behind him wanted.
"How to make three points?"
"What should we do with the imperial army in Yunzhou?"
…………
The previous words were just nonsense to test each other, and no one can fool anyone. The next division of interests is the battleground.
However, these things do sound boring.
A bad wolf, a fox, and seven bad dogs who thought they were strong. In Ning Yi's view, his alliance was full of uncertainties. It was still unknown whether the so-called interests on the negotiating table could be realized afterwards.
After all, the royal family is not stupid either.
He must have made countermeasures for the possible alliance between the three parties. He doesn't need to worry too much. He only needs to record what he saw today with the formations in the token and report it to the Secret Shadow Division in exchange for merit points. Anyway, that's all.
, catching the evidence of treason of seven marquises is a great achievement.
Otherwise, Ning Yixian is not prepared to do anything more.
Because this matter involves too much, it will be a troublesome thing if the news leaks out, or if the situation is not understood, and the royal family's layout is ruined. The eight people in the room argued until midnight, and finally all parties initially obtained the benefits they needed.
The secret meeting in Fenyunzhou is finally over.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
To ensure that this negotiation is effective, it depends on each person's capabilities.
"Everyone, since the negotiation is over, to show my sincerity, I would like to give you a gift."
Nanao glanced across the audience, saw everyone looking over in confusion, chuckled and said, "Friends, you have been listening to this for a long time, should you show up to meet me?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the seven speakers in the room changed drastically.
At this time, although they are not afraid of falling out with the royal family, but after all, none of them are ready for an uprising. It is exposed at this time that the royal family may not be able to take them all down, but it is still possible to target one or two of them.
Underground, Ning Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Has it been discovered?
Ning Yi's mind changed rapidly, and Ning Yi did not move. It was different from that day when he did not understand the methods of the Fox clan and rushed into the formation rashly, only to be exposed. Now he used the Five Elements Escape to sneak underground, and he had a secret magic treasure to protect his soul. Ning Yi
It is easy to be confident, even Nanao has difficulty detecting his presence.
So Nanao is blasting himself.
There was silence in the room for several breaths, with no one answering or showing up.
Zhao's interlocutor raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this? Is it possible that besides the eight of us, there are others lurking in the dark?"
Nanao didn't answer, blinking his divine light, it fell on Huyan's speaker, and said with wonder: "Interesting, your method of transformation is extremely mysterious, if it weren't for some flaws in your soul, I really wouldn't be able to see it.
"
The other six people in the room had different expressions upon hearing this. They looked at Huyan's speaker and became defensive calmly.
"Variety?"
Huyan's speaker's face darkened and he said: "A certain family is upright, so why change? I heard before that the Fox Clan is not only proficient in change, but also likes to manipulate people's hearts. Don't show off your calculations in front of us. We are not those people.
Foolish people.”
The eyes of everyone in the room changed, and it was unclear who was real and who was fake.
After all, this is the Zhao Mansion. As a landlord, Zhao's speaker stood up and said in a deep voice: "Nanabi, don't show off. You said Brother Huyan was someone else's change. Do you have any evidence?"
"evidence?"
The smile on Nanao's face did not change, and his eyes suddenly became darker. Huyan's speaker froze, as if he was frozen in place. Then, his body and appearance changed. At first glance, he looked like an ups and downs human figure.
Ball, the scene looks extremely weird.
Wisps of black mist poured out from the seven orifices of Huyan's speaker's body. In the blink of an eye, Huyan's speaker turned into the skins of a family and stacked them on the ground.
The expressions of the six people changed drastically. Seeing this sudden change, they couldn't help but scream in surprise.
Underground, Ning Yi's nose twitched slightly.
A faint scent of ink flows into the nose, and it smells very good.
Using his visceral powers to feel the changes in the room, Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the person Nanao was talking about was not him. After combining it with Mo Xiang, an idea flashed in his mind, and he knew what kind of spell Huyan's talker had been enchanted by.
"Draw the way!"
Zhao's speaker was startled, then shook his head and said: "No way, I have never heard that the painted Tao is so weird, it can be confused with the real thing, and it is almost difficult to distinguish."
"Not necessarily."
Mu's speaker shook his head, with a gloomy expression on his face, and said: "As far as I know, the Secret Shadow Division has a secret shadow guard, codenamed 'Quie Hua'. This person is known for his weird and ruthless methods, and he is known for his divine soul essence.
Using blood as ink and skin as paper, you can create a living copy of a person. The most interesting thing is that even the copied person feels that he or she is real."
"Secret Shadow Division."
"Cunning painting!"
…………
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the speakers became a little ugly. Zhao's speaker stared at Nanao and asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency just took action and killed this person."
"Unfortunately."
Nanao shook his head, with a trace of doubt between his eyebrows, and said: "I used the fox clan's secret method to follow the connection between the souls and went straight to the source of the soul. But I found that the source was more than one soul, and I couldn't be sure which one was real. Destroyed
We killed most of them, and some of them escaped in the end. Everyone, I take the first step, so you can make your decision early."
As soon as he finished speaking, the faint spiritual power disappeared from the fox monk. The fox monk seemed to be waking up from a big dream. His eyes blinked a few times, his body trembled and he woke up. He cupped his hands at everyone, opened the formation, and quickly
Disappeared in the Lushan Hou Mansion.
In the room, the six talkers looked at each other.
The scene just now was obviously beyond their expectations, and the appearance of the Secret Shadow Division also pushed things into the situation they least expected to see.
"Damn."
Mu's speaker cursed lowly and said: "The Fox clan is indeed treacherous. Although their deception methods are weird, they are only at the Nascent Soul Realm. The powerful Qiwei Dao Realm can actually let him escape. This is
Use the mouth of the Secret Shadow Division to inform the royal family of today’s negotiations, so that we can avoid any retreat.”
"There is no way out for a long time."
Zhao's speaker gave a wry smile and said: "However, I still underestimated the shamelessness of the Fox clan. Everyone, did the royal family really have no expectation of what happened today? So what if you know, we are all just pawns who have nothing to do with the big company.
Son, since the royal family is taking action, the target is not us."
"Huh, I'm a little unhappy after all."
………………
"I've heard of ghost paintings, but I've never seen them."
Outside the Zhao Mansion, Ning Yi followed the Fox clan monk from a distance and whispered: "Although we are both Secret Shadow Guards, we cannot give up this meritorious service."
…………
Jixia Academy, in a dormitory.
A student was reading at night, and on the wall behind him hung a picture of leisurely activities in the mountains. The artist's brush strokes were very strong, and he splashed ink and left white space just right. The wild scenery of the mountains and forests was vividly painted on the paper. In the painting, there was a civet cat, hidden in the mountains.
Among the dead leaves, he is staring attentively at the prey not far away, about to jump up...
Suddenly, the civet jumped up, jumped out of the painting, and landed outside the window.
The scholar seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked around doubtfully, and then returned his eyes to the book.
Outside the window, the civet stretched, its body twisted and enlarged, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a scholar in Tsing Yi, with a gentle manner and a scholarly air in his eyebrows.
"What a powerful magical power! Many paintings were destroyed, but it was worth it."
A look of fear flashed in the scholar's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice. Then his body flashed and disappeared. A moment later, the scholar walked into the library, put on a mask, and appeared in the strange room where the Secret Shadow Division was.
In the space, without stopping, he went straight to the supplies department.
"What are you talking about? Someone has already reported the alliance between the Seventh Mansion and the Fox Clan."
The scholar's face darkened, a little unbelievable. He reached out and grabbed it, and an extra picture circle appeared. With a shake of his hand, he unfolded it, revealing a three-foot-long picture scroll. The ink color blurred and changed, and the scenes in the Zhao Mansion's study were like
Like a movie, everything is shown in the scroll.
The old man in charge of statistics and verification of meritorious deeds squinted his eyes and looked at it. Finally, his eyes were a little pitiful, and he shook his head and said: "Well, that's exactly right. The news I just received is the same as yours, but there is no picture, only
Sound, do you want to listen to it?"
"No."
Guihua's face turned gloomy, then he laughed and said: "Interesting, it seems that a colleague was also present at that time. I don't know which colleague was so good at hiding Nanao."
"It's not a secret, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Gui Hua's eyes lit up. He didn't expect the old man to be so talkative, so he looked over expectantly.
A hint of bad taste flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said with a smile: "I don't like the name. He is not a secret shadow guard, but an ordinary secret shadow guard. Don't you think it's interesting."
"How can it be?"
A look of disbelief appeared on Guihua's face, and he said in a deep voice: "How could an ordinary secret shadow guard hide this from Nanao?"
"Haha, who knows."
Seeing Gui Hua's reaction, the old man laughed happily and said: "Back then, you Gui Hua was able to obtain the title of honor in a short time, but now it seems that a monster even more powerful than you has emerged. Tsk tsk, I'm looking forward to it...
