154. The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.
Cao Yue watched Zhou Shu stuff a handful of healing elixirs into his mouth, with a worried look on his face.
After a while, Zhou Shu sighed.
Sure enough, it still doesn’t work.
His body was like a sieve, and all the medicinal power could not be retained.
No matter how many pills he takes, his body cannot return to normal.
It seems that the only way to recover is to recast the divine weapon map.
"Uncle——"
Cao Yue said, his face full of worry.
"I'm fine."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "We've almost finished our stay here. It's time to leave."
The ever-changing magical powers have a time limit and can only last for one day and one night.
Counting the time, the magical powers he used on Dong Jian were ever-changing, and the time was almost up.
If you don’t leave now, you will be caught in a trap by the Dong family.
It is said that Zhou Shu transformed into Dong Jian, and he benefited from being in the Dong family's stronghold.
At least, I had a delicious meal and took away a lot of healing pills.
He doesn't need these healing elixirs himself, but they can be worth a lot of money if sold.
In fact, Zhou Shu deliberately teased Dong Jian and obtained benefits from him. The purpose was to use his magical powers on him and obtain an item contaminated with his aura.
With Zhou Shu's current cultivation of Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie Mental Technique, even if Dong Jian's hair and blood are not needed, he can use it on anything contaminated with his aura.
It was also because of the use of Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Mental Technique on Dong Jian that Zhou Shu was able to impersonate Dong Jian in front of the Dong family knights without any flaws.
"Uncle, according to your wishes, I have asked the Dong family for two strange beasts and a carriage."
Cao Yue nodded and said, "We also asked them to prepare food on the carriage."
"Very good."
Zhou Shu said a little tiredly, "You come to catch the car. After leaving here, go all the way east."
Although the use of the ever-changing magical power and Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Heart Technique does not require the consumption of spiritual energy, it does consume Zhou Shu's mental power.
He was seriously injured and his mental strength was not as good as before. Continuously using magical powers was also a very tiring thing for him.
After getting on the carriage, Zhou Shu leaned on the soft seat and fell asleep instantly.
……
"Boom——"
A figure fell from the sky and hit the ground with a loud bang.
Dong Qinglong came down with a group of knights, stared at the figure that crashed into the ground, and shouted coldly, "Let's capture him without mercy, you will never escape today!"
"Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate the head of the Dong family!"
Waves of air rolled around his body, ready to strike again at any time.
At this moment, there was a cough, and in the smoke, the man slowly stood up.
"Dong——Qing——Long! I will never forgive you! I am really angry!"
The voice came, containing overwhelming anger.
Dong Qinglong was stunned, why did this voice sound so familiar?
The smoke gradually dissipated, and Dong Qinglong's eyes suddenly widened.
"Dong——Dong Jian?"
Dong Qinglong stammered.
The figure that walked out of the smoke was none other than Dong Jian!
Not only his appearance, but also the aura on his body was clearly that of his familiar brother Dong Jian!
How is this possible?
The person he just attacked was obviously an assassin.
Moreover, brother Dong Jian was obviously seriously injured and was recuperating in the city.
"You are not Dong Jian, who are you!"
Dong Qinglong took a step back involuntarily and said loudly.
Whether it's his eyes or his perception, the person in front of him is the real Dong Jian.
Dong Qinglong himself is a strong man in the cave world. He used to be very confident in his eyes, but now, he is a little unconfident.
What the hell is going on?
Who is Dong Jian!
"Dong Qinglong! Are you blind and your head broken?"
Dong Jian said angrily, "You have been fooled by others!"
If Zhou Shu were here, he would definitely laugh at Dong Jian.
With your brain, you still have the nerve to laugh at others?
"Fooled?"
Dong Qinglong frowned and said, "How do you prove that you are the real Dong Jian?"
"Humph!"
Dong Jian snorted coldly, "You have three moles on your butt, and your penis is only three inches..."
Dong Qinglong's expression changed drastically and he shouted loudly.
"Brother Jian! You are my Brother Jian!"
He said loudly, interrupting Dong Jian's words, "Brother Jian, what on earth is going on? Why did you become an assassin? And even your aura is the same as that of an assassin?"
"How the hell do I know what's going on?"
Dong Jian's face was gloomy and he said coldly.
Suddenly, he remembered something, "I know, it's those two people! It must be them, that person even bumped into me!"
"Suffer it!"
As soon as he reacted, Dong Qinglong's expression changed drastically.
"There is Dong Jian in the city. He was seriously injured and is recovering at our Dong family's base!"
Dong Qinglong said, "If Brother Jian is here, then the Dong Jian in the city must be fake!"
"Injured?"
Dong Jian's eyes flashed, "How many people does he have?"
At this moment, Dong Jian's brain seemed to be illuminated and he suddenly became smarter.
"Two..."
"It's them!"
Dong Jian said loudly, "Damn it, these two bastards have the ability to change, they can become like us!"
Dong Jian looked at Dong Qinglong with a wary look.
"Are you the real Dong Qinglong, or are you fake?"
Dong Jian shouted, the light on his body skyrocketed. If Dong Qinglong could not prove his innocence, he would choose to take action immediately to eliminate Dong Qinglong!
The expression on Dong Qinglong's face froze suddenly. Now is it Dong Jian's turn to doubt him?
What the hell is this?
He was obviously out to hunt down the assassin, but in the end he became a suspect?
"Of course I'm real!"
Dong Qinglong said helplessly, "Brother Jian, when you were three years old..."
Dong Qinglong began to talk about the embarrassing things that happened to Dong Jian when he was a child. The two were brothers of the same race. They even grew up together when they were young. They even knew each other's size, not to mention some embarrassing embarrassing things.
Dong Qinglong was clearly retaliating against Dong Jian for telling everyone that he only had three inches, so he exposed Dong Jian's childhood embarrassment in front of all the Dong family knights.
By the time Dong Jian stopped him, he had already said several things.
"Okay, I believe you are the real Dong Qinglong!"
Dong Jian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. This was partly because he had been injured by Dong Qinglong before, and partly because he was too embarrassed!
I will have no shame in commanding these knights from now on!
"We have confirmed that it is true, what about them?"
Dong Jian pointed at the knights of the Dong family.
They suddenly discovered a huge problem.
If the other person really has the ability to change his body shape and even his breath, then any member of the Dong family may be transformed into the other person.
Then who else can they trust?
"You must tell your family about this immediately."
Dong Jian said solemnly, even if he was not smart, he still realized the seriousness of the problem, "We can't chase anymore. When there is no way to ensure that the people around us are truly our own, if we continue to chase, we will not
Does it have any effect!"
"That's right, let's go back to the family now. The family leader and the Supreme Elder will definitely find a way!"
As they spoke, Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong didn't even have time to verify the authenticity of those knights, so they rose into the sky and headed towards the Dong family's base camp.
The knights looked at each other and kept a safe distance from each other in a tacit understanding, and then followed Dong Jian and the others into the sky.
Now they feel that everyone around them is very suspicious, and all their comrades who used to fight side by side can no longer be trusted. This is almost a devastating blow to the Dong family knights.
……
The reactions of Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong were within Zhou Shu's expectation.
He let the other party discover the existence of ever-changing supernatural powers, just to make the Dong family fall into self-doubt.
After all, his top priority now is to retrieve the Heavenly Emperor Sword, not to get entangled with the Dong family.
No one in the world knows the ever-changing power of supernatural powers better than Zhou Shu.
Back then, Zhou Shu almost turned the demon world upside down by relying on his magical powers.
As long as the Dong family discovers the existence of ever-changing supernatural powers, they will definitely be suspicious of each other. Before this problem is solved, they will never have time to trouble the villagers of Jieqiao Village.
In this way, Zhou Shu can go find the Heavenly Emperor Sword with peace of mind.
In fact, the Dong family's reaction was exactly as Zhou Shu expected.
This magical ability to change body shape and even breath at will may not be worth mentioning in terms of lethality, but its effect is unparalleled.
In a big family, when everyone cannot be trusted, the family will definitely fall into chaos.
"Uncle, it's been three months. The Dong family hasn't caught up with them anymore. We are safe."
While driving the beast car, Cao Yue turned back to Zhou Shu in the car and said.
"Well, I'm afraid they are busy checking whether anyone in the family is an impostor."
Zhou Shu's voice came, "There is no use in checking this kind of thing. Every time we meet, we must first confirm the identity of the other party.
Zhou Shu doesn’t think that a mere Dong family can have the means to decipher the ever-changing magical powers.
"What's ahead?"
In the carriage, Zhou Shu sat cross-legged, sensing the presence of the Emperor's Sword with all his heart.
"Uncle, in front of you is the Dong Family Fort, which is the headquarters of Zhu Rongtian's Dong family."
Cao Yue's face looked a little strange, but he still replied, "The direct descendants of the Dong family live here."
"The ancestor of the Dong family is one of the nine generals beside the Emperor. He holds a high position. Uncle, do we really want to take action against the Dong Family Fort?"
There was a slight excitement in Cao Yue's voice.
A simple mountain village boy turned into a militant in a short period of time!
"Huh?"
Zhou Shu opened his eyes, with a look of confusion on his face.
Such a coincidence?
He sensed that the Heavenly Emperor Sword was within a thousand miles radius, and the aura was vague and absent. Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor Sword fell into the hands of the Dong family?
He had no idea about Zhu Rongtian's direction. Before, he had just followed the scent of the Emperor's Sword to ask Cao Yue to drive the car. Unexpectedly, unknowingly, they had arrived at the Dong family's base camp.
If the Heavenly Emperor Sword really falls into the hands of the Dong family, there will be some trouble.
The Dong family is currently in turmoil. It will be difficult to sneak into the Dong family at this time.
"Cao Yue, go in first and find an inn to stay in."
Zhou Shu said in deep thought.
He once dreamed of Dong Jian and had a certain understanding of Dongjia Fort.
Although Dongjiabao sounds like a manor, it is actually a city, a large city with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Not only the direct descendants of the Dong family live there, but also many branches, including people with other surnames.
After all, the core members of the Dong family cannot live without food and drink, and they also need someone to serve them.
This Dongjia Fort is the largest and most prosperous city in the area controlled by the Dong family!
Of course, where the core members of the Dong family live, outsiders cannot easily enter.
The place where Zhou Shu and Cao Yue entered was only the outer city of Dongjiabao.
Zhou Shu had plundered a lot of money from the Dong family's base before. During these days, they had always spent the Dong family's money on food and accommodation, and it is the same now...
Zhou Shu directly rented a private courtyard in the best inn in Dongjiabao. Anyway, he spent money from the Dong family. Zhou Shu didn't feel bad at all.
After spending all the money, just go to Dong's house to get some.
"Cao Yue, go out and find out what major events have happened in Dongjiabao in the past year."
Zhou Shu called Cao Yue and told him, "Be careful and don't get caught."
Now that Cao Yue has decided to follow him, he is destined to face wind and rain in the future.
Zhou Shu was also deliberately training Cao Yue.
After all, when he dreamed of Dong Jian, he didn't get any news about the Heavenly Emperor Sword. It would be strange if Cao Yue could find out about the Heavenly Emperor Sword when he went to inquire outside.
Cao Yue didn't know so much. He only knew that he had to do what Zhou Shu asked him with his heart.
"Yes, uncle, I'll go right away."
Cao Yue said.
Zhou Shu did not use his magical power to change him. The Dong family had never seen Cao Yue's original appearance.
Moreover, Cao Yue's unparalleled magical power of benevolence and righteousness has long since expired. Now he is just an ordinary young man without any cultivation.
When he walks on the street, no one will give him a second glance.
After Cao Yue left, Zhou Shu also left the inn and walked slowly to the street.
After these months of recuperation, although Zhou Shu's injury has not improved, fortunately it has not worsened.
Now he can barely move around like an ordinary person.
He walked on the street, seemingly strolling. In fact, if anyone noticed the route he walked, they would definitely find that Zhou Shu walked in a straight line.
Feeling the breath of the Emperor's Sword, he came step by step to a magnificent castle.
"Are you really at Dong's house?"
Zhou Shu murmured to himself, reaching this point, he no longer had any luck in his heart.
As expected, the Emperor's Sword fell into the hands of the Dong family.
If he wants to get back the Heavenly Emperor Sword, it seems that he needs to go to the Dong family's base camp.
When Zhou Shu dreamed of Dong Jian, he had some understanding of the situation at the Dongjiabao base camp.
In the Dong family's base camp, there are no less than a hundred strong people in the cave heaven realm stationed there, and there are even an unknown number of supreme elders.
The cultivation levels of those supreme elders are all in the realm of law.
Although Zhou Shu sometimes looks down upon the Dong family, in fact, the strength of the Dong family is not weak at all.
They are stronger than the human race before they defeated Xuan Mingtian.
With only the supernatural powers Renyi Wushuang and Cao Yue, trying to enter the Dong family's base camp and retrieve the Heavenly Emperor Sword is nothing more than a dream.
Even if he has supernatural powers and unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, Cao Yue's ability to defeat a few earth immortals is already the limit. Any cave heaven realm can make him irreversible, not to mention that the Dong family also has the law realm.
Zhou Shu could use his magical powers to sneak into the Dong family's base camp, but he was seriously injured, and this trait cannot be concealed. Even if he becomes too similar, it will be easy for others to expose him.
As for Cao Yue...
Letting Cao Yue sneak into the Dong family's base camp alone is no different from sending a little sheep into a pack of hungry wolves.
While Zhou Shu was pondering, suddenly, he saw two people appearing at the gate of the Dong family's base camp.
The two people, like two door gods, stood on both sides of the gate.
Seeing those two people, Zhou Shu was speechless.
Those two people were surprisingly Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong!
It seems that the two of them have proven their innocence, and since they have had contact with him before, they were sent to guard the gate.
It must be that someone can change into one of them at will, which really scares the Dong family.
As a result, it will be even more difficult for Zhou Shu to sneak in.
A wry smile appeared on Zhou Shu's face. He now felt like he shot himself in the foot.
But even if the thing happened again, he would still do it.
Under the circumstances at that time, other than this method, there was no better way for him to escape from the pursuit of the Dong family and protect the safety of everyone in Jieqiao Village.
"If you think this will make everything foolproof, then you are looking down on me, Zhou Shu."
Zhou Shu murmured to himself. He was about to leave. Just as he took a step forward, he suddenly stopped and looked in one direction.
At the other end of the street, a figure flashed past furtively.
"Is it him? Why is he here?"
Zhou Shu frowned slightly, feeling a little lucky in his heart.
Fortunately, before he left the inn, he carefully applied his magical powers to himself, otherwise his whereabouts would have been leaked by now.
"Mu Zhixing!"
Zhou Shu murmured to himself.
The figure that disappeared was a face that Zhou Shu had never seen before.
But the aura on his body was extremely familiar to Zhou Shu.
That is the aura of someone who has practiced his method of transformation!
Apart from Zhou Shu, the only person in the world who understands his method of transformation is Mu Zhixing!
That figure that disappeared in a flash was most likely the incarnation of Mu Zhixing!
This guy Mu Zhixing is extremely afraid of death. He worked hard to obtain his Transformation Method. The purpose is that when doing things, he does not need to send out his own body, he only needs to send out an incarnation.
He did this when he went to Guanghan Palace before. If it weren't for Zhou Shu, his true self would never have appeared in Guanghan Palace.
Now the incarnation of Mu Zhixing has appeared outside Zhu Rongtian's Dong family's base camp, and he looks sneaky and has evil intentions. Could it be that the Dong family is hiding something similar to the one in Guanghan Palace?
Aroused Mu Zhixing’s interest?
"Mu Zhixing is not a good person. If he attacks the Dong family, I can fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to get the Emperor's Sword back."
Zhou Shu touched his chin and murmured to himself.
Mu Zhixing should not have expected that he would appear here. Judging from his appearance just now, he seemed to want to secretly attack the Dong family. The mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole followed. When he was in Guanghan Palace, Mu Zhixing tricked him.
