Chapter 183: The demon man set up a battle array and offered three strategies because the shopkeeper made a surprise
"What's the problem?"
As soon as these words came out, Ruan Hunxiong immediately followed up.
The original plan has been finalized, why did Zhou Shi raise objections at this time?
Facing the questioning eyes of everyone, Zhou Shi said calmly: "The plan just now was completely based on the idea that the demon will launch an attack in the city on New Year's Eve, right?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"Yes, and it's big."
Zhou Shi walked around the private room and said: "If the demons may use formations to launch attacks, how could they not start preparations until New Year's Eve? Zhang Daozhang, what are the approximate steps required to set up the formations?"
"According to our Wudang Taoism, the two steps of setting up an altar and offering sacrifices are indispensable, and the more complex the formation, the higher the requirements for the ritual." Zhang Huanming replied, but he also rejected Zhou Shi's idea.
, "But once the formation starts, it cannot be interrupted, so I don't think they can start the formation in advance."
"Yes, but what about the preparations before setting up the altar and offering sacrifices? For example, the planning of the venue and the preparation of sacrifices?" Zhou Shi looked around at everyone, "The various strange things that happened in Jiangdu this year are basically the work of demons.
But there was no big fuss. Could this be their preparation for the New Year's Eve operation?"
Zhang Huanming frowned slightly and lowered his head to think about this possibility.
"Let's just talk about the sacrifice. What did you think of?"
Others may not know, but Zhao Xuan and Yu Heng reacted immediately and blurted out:
"Yichunyuan Hidden Corpse Case!"
"Exactly."
Zhang Huanming raised his head: "Use corpses as sacrifices?"
"Is it feasible?"
"Well, I did hear that some evil magic requires this kind of ritual..."
"In this case, it makes sense why the demon buried a large number of corpses in Yichun Garden." Zhou Shi said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xuan's expression changed after hearing this.
"When Master Zhao, Mr. Mo, and Daochang Zhang were not in Jiangdu City and Wu Zhaokun was in charge, these corpses stayed well underground; when they were dug out, there were no problems; but as soon as they left the city, they changed rapidly. This shows that
What? It means that the purpose of the monsters is not to use the walking corpses to cause destruction in Jiangdu City, but to hide them in the city!"
"So, the zombies attacking the martial arts masters are just using a trick to cover up their intentions?"
"Well, it makes sense that they chose Yichunyuan, a place where people come and go. Maybe they heard..." Zhou Shi remembered that the identities of Mrs. Hu and Luo Ziqing could not be exposed, so he hesitated, "There are people with complicated backgrounds.
Businessmen from Shu wanted to take over this No. 1 brothel in Jiangdu, so they hid the body here and deliberately left clues for the businessmen to notice. Because their hands were unclean, the businessmen would definitely help cover up the body after discovering it.
"Who would have thought that a gold-medal police officer would be stationed in Jiangdu, and he would also bring with him a stranger who knew the art of fortune-telling, and he would be the first to discover the body under Yichun Garden."
At this point, Zhou Shi paused for a moment to let everyone think for themselves.
After hearing this reasoning, they were surprised at first, and then thought hard and felt a little admiration.
Able to see what ordinary people cannot see and think what ordinary people cannot think of, Shopkeeper Zhou is not only brilliant in his methods, but his thoughts are also unfathomable...
But Zhou Shi is not very proud. He knows that he can deduce these, firstly, because he has the memory of two lifetimes, which adds up to more than fifty years old, and his thinking is much more mature. Secondly, because he has the most contact with demons and understands their thinking better.
way, so you can think from someone else’s perspective.
What he didn't notice was that Zhao Xuan and Yu Heng briefly focused on him at the same time, seeming to be weighing something...
After a long time, Fu Yujiang was the first to break the silence. He slapped the table: "Shopkeeper Zhou is right! We were completely led by the monster!"
"But, what does this have to do with our plan?" Ruan Hunxiong asked more calmly, "Even if according to Shopkeeper Zhou, the corpses of the monsters hidden in the city have been cleared away, they must re-arrange their formations?
”
"How do you know that the corpses have been cleared away? What if there are other places to hide the corpses? What if they use other formations and hide the items needed to complete the formation in the city early?" Zhou Shi retorted. p>
Zhao Xuan questioned: "The qi watcher I brought has checked and found that there is no suspicious yin energy emanating from the city. This statement is not valid."
Yu Heng, who also mastered the art of looking for energy, also nodded and said: "I also inspected the city and found nothing unusual."
Mr. Mo put down his cigarette rod at this time and looked at Zhou Shi with a strange eye.
Zhou Shi tried not to show an offensive look and said: "The technique of looking at qi is not easy to use in Jiangdu City, because the feng shui here is very strange. It is a place surrounded by yin energy. There is no abnormality at all with ordinary qi looking techniques.
.Just like it’s difficult to distinguish different people’s voices in a crowded market.”
Yu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a thing? It's unheard of."
This is what Zhou Shi saw in An Rudao's memory, and it cannot be false. He added:
"The Feng Shui here is also known as locking the dragon's throat, which chokes the dragon's energy in the river, hence the name."
Zhang Huanming was shocked: "Do you know about locking the dragon's throat?"
This reaction was beyond Zhou Shi's expectation, but then he thought about it, Wudang is the orthodox Taoist sect, and its spread of Fengshui methods must be deeper than that of the outer sect.
"My master once said that the ingenious feng shui of Jiangdu City is where the dragon's throat is." Zhang Huanming said, "It seems that shopkeeper Zhou... is also a highly respected person."
"Wherever, if you touch too many evil things, you will naturally develop a knack. It's not trivial." Zhou Shi was modest.
"But the art of looking at Qi will be ineffective in Jiangdu City. This is something I have never heard of."
"I know that this matter must be carried out carefully. As long as the Qi reaches a certain level, I will be able to detect abnormalities. As for me, I only noticed something was wrong after staying in Jiangdu for a long time."
No... Zhang Huanming clearly realized that this week's shopkeeper has extremely high attainments in Wangqi, coupled with the strength he showed in the previous crusade against Empress Xu...
Moreover, Mr. Mo came out with him. Could it be that he is Mr. Mo's beloved disciple? He has also heard some stories about this outer sect legend and knows that this strange old man is definitely not a common man. If shopkeeper Zhou is his heir,
One can imagine the strength.
"I admire it. Shopkeeper Zhou, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Huanming calmed down his thoughts and turned to Zhou Shi for advice.
"That's right, Shopkeeper Zhou, please give us a move. I'll listen to your arrangements." Fu Yujiang agreed.
Mr. Mo also said: "Xiao Shi, if you have ideas, don't hide them away. Speak out and listen."
Mr. Mo, the most prestigious person, said so, and no one else, including Zhao Xuan, had any objections. Seeing that he had gained considerable trust, Zhou Shi said:
"Thanks to all of you, my suggestions are as follows:
"First, because sir, Senior Ruan is guarding the place where Yichun Yuan's corpse is buried to prevent the demon from using the remaining corpses to make formations.
"Second, the government officers and soldiers should stay still, do not go to the streets, and serve as a reserve team with Mr. Zhao."
"Third, Mr. Yu, Mr. Mo and I will stay in Fengde Building and wait and see what happens."
