522: Nanzhao is the sword, the eve of the closing ceremony
"call……"
She shook her head vigorously and muttered: "Forget it, do whatever you want, take it one step at a time and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
When we were discussing in the group, Xiang Ming wanted to say something for the first time, but after thinking about it carefully, he swallowed it back.
She felt vaguely in her heart that the recent series of events was a bit too coincidental.
Moreover, there is a contradiction in the Hydra incident that cannot be justified at all.
——Why did Zuo Chongming escape back to Xiyun Mansion?
If this question were put on the forum, most players would definitely give the standard answer - nonsense, if you can't beat it, you will definitely run away.
This answer seems reasonable at first glance, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Because judging from the results, Zuo Chongming was not unable to defeat Hydra.
So a more reasonable explanation is that it's not that Zuo Chongming couldn't defeat it, but that the price was too high and Zuo Chongming didn't want to make a loss-making deal.
In this case, the problem arises again.
When Zuo Chongming encountered Hydra in the depths of the South China Sea, there must have been a simple fight before what happened next.
With Zuo Chongming's wisdom, he must have thought about the cost during his escape.
When he found that he couldn't get rid of Hydra, he should have reacted immediately.
In other words, he wouldn't realize that he couldn't escape until he reached the offshore area and had to kill the Hydra.
He can definitely do it in the Zhonghai area!
Considering Zuo Chongming's cautious character, he would even lure the Hydra back to the deep sea, and then use the cornerstone of the avenue to kill the opponent.
To sum up, Zuo Chongming has the time and ability to kill Hydra without exposing the cornerstone of the avenue.
That being the case, why did he lure the Hydra offshore and risk exposing the cornerstone of the road in full view of everyone?
First Xiangming thought hard and finally came up with an answer - it was done on purpose.
Zuo Chongming did not hesitate to expose the cornerstone of the avenue and seriously injured himself to kill Hydra... This whole thing was a show, and he deliberately led it.
Having determined this point, the next question arises.
——Why did Zuo Chongming do this?
First Xiangming had no idea at first, until she was talking in the group just now and mentioned that various countries were eyeing Xiyun Mansion, inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind.
She thought of one thing. When Xiyun Mansion launched currency, it bound the currency to gold, thereby storing a large amount of gold.
"That is to say..."
First Xiangming secretly thought: "From that time on, Zuo Chongming has been laying out, paving the way, and preparing..."
"Gold, primeval stones, natural materials and earthly treasures, military research and development, cutting-edge technology, medical experiments... everything is adding value to Xiyun Mansion."
"He used his influence to build Xiyun Mansion into a golden mountain step by step. He deliberately made Xiyun Mansion coveted by the world."
"Xiyun Mansion has never been a base camp or a lair in his bureau, but a bait carefully cultivated by him."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel her scalp numb and took a breath of cold air.
The coolness flowed down her throat and into her lungs, making her shiver immediately.
"Xiyun Mansion is used as bait to influence the overall situation of the world."
First Xiangming suppressed his shock and said in his heart: "Using the method of cultivating gods to stir up chaos in southern Xinjiang, and instigating the revival of the method of cultivating immortals..."
"And looking for the ruins of Heaven...What are you doing and planning for? What do you want to do?"
——

Bang~!
Zuo Chongming was sitting in a secret room, playing with Yuan Shi as a pebble.
Although he was indeed seriously injured at the time, his reserves were too rich.
This kind of injury, which in the eyes of others was basically waiting for death, fell on him very quickly.
Just as the world thought, his series of actions were indeed fishing, and he concluded that he would definitely lose his composure.
Because even if everyone keeps their composure, some forces with average strength will be forced by the strong to take action against Zuo Chongming.
Of course, this trial is doomed to fail.
Although Zuo Chongming was determined to withdraw, he would never do so hastily.
Just like making movies or writing novels, Zuo Chongming just wanted to attract a few pathfinding stones this time and crush them to further incite hatred.
"You guys, please don't let me down."
Zuo Chongming used a little force with his fingertips and crushed a primeval stone, muttering in his heart: "I gave you a chance, you must cherish it."
Suddenly, a voice came in: "Master Hou, my subordinate has something to report."
"speak."
"Nanzhao sent a special envoy to protest against us."
"Protest against what?"
"Protest that our country treats Nanzhao as if it is nothing and is so violent and domineering..."
"Tell the important point."
Jiang Fenglong grinned: "Their special envoy said that if we don't release Patriarch Ziyun and his family and compensate them, we will start a war."
Zuo Chongming said: "First spend ten days and a half with them, and then you will come forward to reject them in my name and expel them from the country."
"Um...that's all?"
"Yes, that's all."
"As ordered, I will take care of it now."
Not long after he left, there was a breeze.
The closed door of the secret room slowly opened, and an old man with white hair and beard stood quietly outside the door: "Where is your bodyguard?"
The bodyguard he was talking about was naturally referring to Chen Xingzu.
"Looking at your expression, it doesn't seem to be going well."
Zuo Chongming was not surprised at all by his arrival. He casually pointed to the teleportation formation base at his feet: "Let's go and talk somewhere else."
The old man wrinkled his thick eyebrows, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words and came to his side in a few steps.
There was a flash of light, and the two people on the teleportation array disappeared instantly.
"Secret realm?"
The old man looked around and said thoughtfully: "You actually locked onto a small secret realm without saying a word? As the last retreat?"
While speaking, he heard a burst of laughter.
Looking closely, it was Ouyang Yu and others playing in the peach forest.
"hehe."
Zuo Chongming smiled and took him to the river to sit down: "I went to look for the ruins of Heaven. What was the harvest?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This old man is none other than Long Ancestor, who has disappeared for a long time.
"I can't say that there is no gain, but it is indeed very little."
Long Zu squatted on the shore without any image, cursing: "I always feel that someone is one step ahead of me, erasing the clues about the ruins of the Heavenly Palace in advance."
Zuo Chongming stared at the fish in the water and said softly: "Your feeling is right, there are indeed people... you should be familiar with them."
familiar?
Long Zu raised his eyes and looked at him subconsciously.
Looking into each other's eyes, the confusion on his face was gradually replaced by lividness, and eventually turned into solemnity.
Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said: "Ancient alien race?"
Suddenly, Longzu looked around and said thoughtfully: "The reason why you are talking here is because you want to avoid their eyes and ears?"
"sharp."
Zuo Chongming took out a handful of fish food from his pocket and threw it into the river, smiling as the fish kept fighting for it.
Dragon Ancestor asked again: "All this you did was to deal with them?"
"no."
Zuo Chongming shook his head and nodded: "But we can't get around them. At least we have to kill them first."
Long Zu was silent for a few seconds, then changed the subject and said, "How is the situation here? Has the teleportation array been repaired?"
"Over there."
Zuo Chongming pointed casually not far away, where there was a simple formation base covered with runes.
"When are you going to leave?"
"Perform a play and then leave."
"I heard about the recent things, but I didn't expect you to be able to kill that guy."
"you know?"
"heard about it."
Dragon Ancestor explained: "The Hydra, also known as the Nine-Headed Insect, is the nephew of the Dragon King of the ancient dragon clan, and its strength can be considered tyrannical."
"Its most famous battle was with the Monkey King, one of the Seven Great Sages of the Demon Court, and even escaped from its hands."
Zuo Chongming looked up at him: "Seven Great Sages?"
The Dragon Ancestor said as follows: "The Great Sage Bull Demon King of Pingtian, the Great Sage Demon King Flooding the Sea, the Great Sage Peng Demon King of Huntian, and the Great Sage Lion Camel King of Moving Mountains."
"The Ventilation Great Sage Macaque King, the God-Expelling Great Sage Monkey King, and the Monkey King Qitian. Their strength is definitely famous in the Demon Court."
Having said this, he glanced at Zuo Chongming: "Do you remember Motuoling?"
Zuo Chongming frowned: "What's wrong?"
Dragon Ancestor said softly: "The area of Demon Tuo Ridge was the territory of Shituo Ridge, the Great Sage Yishan and the Great Sage Huntian in ancient times."
"There is a fairy island in the East China Sea called Aolai, where the Great Sage Qitian, the Great Sage Ventilation, and the Great Sage Expelling Gods are entrenched."
"As for the Great Sage Pingtian, it is said that he was in the far west, and there was a Flame Mountain there at that time."
"The Great Sage Fuhai is a loner. Although he is just a dragon, his strength is stronger than that of ordinary dragons."
After Zuo Chongming heard this, he asked in surprise: "The Seven Great Sages don't live in the Demon Court? Instead, they live in the world?"
Long Zu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "They rose up later and can't get along with the group of guys who founded the Demon Court."
"But later when the human race rose, they were the first to suffer misfortune, so the Seven Saints were forced to withdraw to the Demon Court and join forces to fight against the enemy..."
Zuo Chongming asked with great interest: "What happened next?"
"later……"
Long Zu lamented: "The Great Sage Pingtian was reduced to the mount of the Moral God, the Great Sage Huntian was suppressed by Buddhism, the Great Sage Qitian was absorbed by the Heavenly Court, and the rest are all dead."
Patting his forehead, Longzu reminded: "By the way, there is actually an elephant demon in Shituoling, and it was finally subdued by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of Buddhism."
Zuo Chongming smacked his lips: "Tsk, it sounds lively."
Long Zu glanced at him helplessly and asked: "Let's get back to the topic. You just talked about acting. What kind of drama are you acting?"
"The closing drama."
Zuo Chongming gave him a toothy smile and said meaningfully: "If I want this play to be wonderful, I have to let you appear and help me out."
Longzu saw something was wrong with his smile and couldn't help but become wary: "What do you mean?"
"Means nothing."
Zuo Chongming said quietly: "I'm thinking of letting you make an appearance and show your face, pretending to be a reclusive senior of the Dragon Clan, seeking revenge from me for the incident in the South China Sea, and storming Xiyun Mansion's... Champion Hou Mansion."
