371: The list of gods is out, another round is set up
After spreading it out, it was a triangular roll of broken ancient paintings, with dense, mottled and obscure golden-red patterns remaining.
Just at a glance, these patterns seemed to be alive, and gradually began to twist strangely, like some kind of wriggling insects.
But when he shook his head and looked over, he found that the pattern had not moved at all, as if everything just now was an illusion.
"Indeed……."
Zuo Chongming bit the tip of his tongue hard, his confused eyes suddenly became clear, and a look of horror appeared on his face: "The List of Gods."
Yes, its real name is Fengshen Bang.
It's not the so-called soul-locking scroll that Concubine Liu said at all.
But, this is actually not the fault of Concubine Liu.
Zuo Chongming estimated that the infamous name of the Soul Locking Scroll was probably given by a certain self-righteous Shabi in Dongxu Valley.
anyway.
Since the Conferred Gods List is called Conferred Gods, then of course it is for the purpose of conferring Gods.
Strictly speaking, it should be to canonize the soul of a strong person to make his true spirit immortal.
In ancient times, the holder of the Conferred God List suddenly fell ill and sealed a pervert inside. Unexpectedly, this pervert was actually the peak master of the Jiange Pavilion.
You must know that Jiange not only has the Zhuxian Formation that rivals it, but also has n magical weapons.
So as expected, the people from the Sword Pavilion smelled the smell and came to the door, using a killing thing like the Immortal Killing Sword Formation to forcibly break the list of gods.
Since then, the list of gods has been divided into two pieces and scattered all over the world, and no one has collected them all until now.
Speaking of which, we have to mention Emperor Wu.
At that time, Taizu of the Wu Dynasty relied on this half of the list of gods to conquer the world and establish the Wu Dynasty.
In the following hundreds of years, there were also some crises that shook the country, and in the end the emperor used this trump card to overturn the situation.
But why is it that in Nan Hao's generation, the Conferred God List can no longer be used?
In fact, the reason is very simple...
Because the list of gods is full!
Taizu of the Wu Dynasty and emperors of all dynasties thought that the capacity of the list of gods was unlimited, but in fact they were completely wrong.
The complete list of gods can canonize a total of 108 souls, but the remaining half can accommodate forty souls, which is good.
Back then, when Taizu of the Wu Dynasty was conquering the world, in order to live up to the loyalty of his subordinates, he would confer a few titles from time to time...
By the time it was passed on to future generations, there were not many places left, and successive emperors used it to turn the tables and canonize some souls.
When it was passed to Nan Hao's generation, the quota was already full, so his sacrifice was destined to fail.
Take ten thousand steps back.
Even if there is still a quota, Nan Hao will still fail. This is related to the method of use discovered by Taizu of the Wu Dynasty.
The method used by Taizu of the Wu Dynasty was to temporarily integrate it with the Conferred Gods List through sacrifices, obtain part of the authority, and then use it.
But he ignored one issue, and that was strength.
Taizu of the Wu Dynasty was a strong man himself, and the sacrifice method he found was acceptable to him personally.
But his successor is far less powerful than him, and his successor cannot bear the consumption he can endure.
The first few generations were fine, but the emperors became less powerful as they went to later generations. Later, sacrificing sacrifices was almost equivalent to sacrificing one's life.
Therefore, given Wuhuang Nanhao's strength and his condition at the time, it was impossible for him to succeed even if he had a quota.
Ultimately, it can only be blamed on luck.
To put it in more superstitious terms: This means that the Wu Dynasty has run out of energy and God is going to destroy it.
"The remaining half is in the hands of Dongxugu."
Zuo Chongming squinted his eyes, thoughtfully: "We have to find a way... maybe the Qingqiu Fox Clan can take advantage of it."
Originally, he didn't think so much about it, just half of the list of gods was enough.
But now that he knew the existence of the other half, of course he had to find a way to get it.
"Hu Mei."
"Master Hou, do you want me to have something wrong?"
"close the door."
Zuo Chongming raised his chin and motioned for her to sit down: "Do you want to save your mother?"
Hu Mei touched his eyes and seemed to understand something, her expression suddenly became excited: "Master Marquis, have you really got that thing? Then what are your plans..."
Zuo Chongming asked: "I would like to ask you, does the eight-tailed old fox on Qingqiu Mountain know what the artifact of the Wu Dynasty is?"
Hu Mei smiled bitterly: "Well, she didn't elaborate. She only said that when Emperor Wu was on his deathbed, he would naturally take out the magical weapon and reverse the situation."
Contrary to her expectation, Zuo Chongming laughed out loud: "That will be easy to handle."
"Um?"
Hu Mei was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
Zuo Chongming said softly: "The third prince's biological mother, Concubine Liu, is accused of regicide and assassination. If Nanchuan and Nanyun want to ascend the throne, they must be convicted of this crime."
Having said this, a cruel smile appeared on his face: "I would like to ask you, how can you prove a person's crime without being retaliated against?"
"Dead men cannot speak."
Zuo Chongming nodded approvingly, picked up the tea and blew it: "Yes, so Concubine Liu is dead, and she will bear the blame."
"Once the old fox in Qingqiu learns about this matter, he will definitely suspect that Concubine Liu's actions are related to the artifact, and then associate it with Dongxu Valley."
"What a coincidence, Hu Yingying's two foxes are currently in the hands of the Thirteenth Prince Nanchuan. He and the Third Prince are enemies."
Hu Mei suddenly said: "You mean that after Qingqiu gets this news, he will send people to contact Nanchuan and unite to deal with the third prince."
"That's right."
Zuo Chongming nodded: "Whether it is plotting a divine weapon or the safety of Hu Yingying and the two of them, the Qingqiu Fox Clan will definitely do this."
"And the reverse is also true. At this juncture, Nanchuan will definitely draw in all the forces that can be drawn in, even demons."
Hu Mei licked her lips excitedly: "What's next?"
"The stakes are high."
Zuo Chongming said quietly: "Whether it is Nanchuan or Qingqiu, it is necessary to send high-level officials to meet and discuss in detail."
"But the old fox won't come out. Qingqiu has lost two more seven-tailed foxes, and there is only one left that can move."
Hu Mei slapped the table and gritted her teeth and said: "As long as we intercept and kill..."
"Why did you intercept and kill her?"
The corner of Zuo Chongming's mouth twitched, and he looked at her as if she was mentally retarded.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hu Mei’s forehead was sweating when he looked at her, and she asked with a dry smile: “Aren’t you going to kill me?”
Zuo Chongming glanced at her and said in a neutral tone: "Think about it again."
Seeing this, Hu Mei shrank her head subconsciously and racked her brains to recall.
Fully half an hour passed.
She raised her head suddenly and looked at Zuo Chongming in shock: "What you mean is..."
Zuo Chongming raised his eyelids: "Have you thought of it?"
"Um."
Hu Mei nodded excitedly: "When Hu Yingying was captured alive by you, I pretended to escape and returned to Beijing, and notified the Seventh Prince Nan Yu."
"Subsequently, he notified Qingqiu to send someone to rescue her, and asked you to escort Hu Yingying back to Beijing. That's when the flying boat was robbed."
"Not long after that incident happened, the eldest prince revealed the collusion between the seventh prince and the Qingqiu Fox Clan's demons through the flying boat incident..."
"This resulted in the Seventh Prince falling from his horse and being captured, while Hu Yingying and the two seven-tailed fox demons fled in a hurry and hid in the east of the capital xz."
"Until later, they didn't run out. Instead, you calculated their location and let the Thirteenth Prince capture them both."
"uh-huh."
Zuo Chongming was noncommittal and motioned for her to continue.
Hu Mei put her hands on her hands and smiled: "Although Hu Yingying and the others already know that I am a traitor,... Qingqiu doesn't know yet."
"That's right."
Zuo Chongming nodded: "So you are still a loyal undercover agent with the old fox in Qingqiu. This is our opportunity."
Hu Mei couldn't help but lean forward: "What are you going to do?"
"It's very simple, make up a story for her."
Zuo Chongming muttered: "Let's just say that you followed Emperor Wu and prepared to take action, but Concubine Liu took the lead and the two of you fought fiercely in the palace."
"The opponent was superior and seriously injured you and took away the Wu Dynasty artifact, but during the fierce battle, you saw what the artifact looked like."
Hu Mei said worriedly: "Master Hou, the old fox is very suspicious. She will definitely verify the authenticity. If verified, won't we be a gangster?"
"No no no."
Zuo Chongming laughed dumbly: "First of all, your actions are faster than the news. By the time you tell her the story, the news about Concubine Liu will be spread soon."
Hu Mei suddenly realized: "If the old fox can only believe my story three points, when she learns about Concubine Liu, she will believe my story five points."
Zuo Chongming said with a smile: "Half belief and half doubt, that's enough."
"What's enough?" Hu Mei was stunned.
Zuo Chongming lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "It's enough for her to generate motivation to further verify this matter..."
"At this time, you can tell her that during the Yunmeng Treasure Ship incident not long ago, the Dragon Clan accidentally obtained the "Book of Escape" inherited from Tianji Pavilion."
"Tell the old fox again that the inner guard accidentally found out where the Scarlet Sea Demon King is hiding. It is said that Princess Wan Sheng of the Dragon Clan is looking for him."
"So, you can use the information about the Scarlet Sea Demon King as a bargaining chip and ask the Halloween Princess to do this for you and deduce the location of the artifact."
Hu Mei was stunned when she heard this: "She, will she believe it? This is too..."
"She will."
Zuo Chongming said quietly: "Remember, the old fox trusts you personally, and her suspicion is only about the story you made up."
"Besides, Tianji Pavilion has a good reputation, Dun Yishu is extremely magical, and you can provide chips, the old fox doesn't have to pay a penny at all."
"This kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing is related to the artifact she has longed for. She will give it a try no matter what..."
Hu Mei's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this: "Then..."
Zuo Chongming grinned: "Then, the Dragon Clan will tell her that what she is looking for is in the hands of... Dongxugu."
"Qingqiu has lost Hu Yingying and two other seven-tailed demon foxes. It is definitely no match for Dongxu Valley. The old fox must unite with Nanchuan."
"Firstly, we can rescue Hu Yingying and the two seven-tailed sky foxes. Secondly, we can form an alliance with Nanchuan to deal with Dongxugu and the third prince."
Hu Mei was startled at first, and then her face changed slightly: "In this case, I will be exposed."
"No."
Zuo Chongming shook his head: "Because by that time, Hu Yingying and the three seven-tailed foxes... will never be able to return to Qingqiu."
"So you won't be exposed, and don't forget that there are actually two bloodlines of Tianhu, one is Qingqiu and the other is Tushan."
"Guess, if there is only one old fox lingering in Qingqiu, will Tu Shan just watch?"
"Qingqiu, which is lacking in combat power, must gather all its strength in order to resist Tushan's offensive, including... releasing your mother."
"hiss……"
Hu Mei couldn't help but feel horrified and took a breath of cold air.
This is no longer killing two birds with one stone, but killing two birds with one stone... many, many birds.
How did Zuo Chongming’s brain grow?
How could he put together such a thorough plan in such a short period of time?
