"Everything must be boldly assumed and verified carefully. The results of most of the events we have encountered before are unknown and there are few clues, so it is very difficult to hypothesize or verify. This incident is completely different. It is equivalent to After we get the result of the matter, we can push forward and backward, so the accuracy will be much higher." Qi Zhen first explained her thinking method of reviewing the matter.
Indeed, the only clue the team has now is Buzhou Mountain. It is not like what happened before. The plot direction caused by the uncertainty of the NPC's identity and position is unknown. Therefore, if we follow the current situation backwards, we can get draw many more convincing conclusions.
"The most important point, regarding our main mission, we are going to Mount Buzhou next to find the pillars of the Tianzhu, and then take them back to Shushan and hand them over to Wu Tian. And we can only rely on ourselves for this matter without any external force. We have no assistance, and even the magic weapon to save our lives is the sword behind us." Qi Zhen said.
Everyone nodded and had no objections.
"Then I have to ask why it happened like this." Qi Zhen looked into the eyes of her teammates and said softly.
"The reason why we want to go to Mount Buzhou is naturally because Wu Tian discovered the location of the leak of demonic energy from the Well of Gods and Demons, and the scope of the leak is gradually expanding to the point where it is beyond control, so we must go to Mount Buzhou as soon as possible. Get back the pillar stone." Li Qiang said.
"The reason why we are allowed to go is because of the following reasons. First, only new disciples like us in Shushan will not be affected by the chaotic and thin spiritual energy. Second, as Wu Tian's nominal disciples, only We are trusted by Wu Tian. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we can only go. Third, Shushan is now leaderless and urgently needs Wu Tian to take charge, and the second-generation disciples we are familiar with are not in the mountain, so we have no helpers. You can bite the bullet and do it yourself." Jiang Yan, who had not spoken for a long time, continued.
"The reason for the current result is that the two spirit beads we brought back caused the elders of Shushan to go all out. They also suffered great losses in the process of strengthening the seal of the Demon Locking Tower. On the one hand, it completely eliminates the possibility of evil spirits causing trouble among the disciples of the generation, and on the other hand, it ensures that the seal of the Demon Locking Tower is intact and will not bring us any worries." Meng Ran said.
"I understand what you are saying, but why do I always feel like I am being led by others?" Yu Liang suddenly interrupted.
"You're right, I think so too. This is also the most important reason for my review this time." Qi Zhen smiled bitterly.
"Even Yu Liang can detect something is wrong, then something is really not right." Meng Ran said.
"Hey! What do you mean?" Yu Liang glared and quit.
"It's okay. I'm praising you for your cleverness." Meng Ran said with a smile.
Yuliang snorted and said nothing. A good man doesn't fight with women.
"Except for the sense of fate brought about by the system design, I really can't think of any other reasons that would cause such a thing to happen." Qi Zhen stopped teasing and said: "When we were going up the mountain, Wu Tian happened to discover After finding out the location of the demonic energy leakage and leaving, we worked in Shushan for half a month. It happened that we were going to complete the reinforcement of the Demon Locking Tower today. When we spread the news, someone used our plan to arrange a viewing and set up a comprehensive The precautionary measures happened to ensure that the six elders of Shushan survived their injuries and fell unconscious, and they happened to be in time for Wu Tian to return to the mountain to take charge of the overall situation. And after Wu Tian returned to the mountain, he happened to come back to seek help to seal the leakage of evil energy. In addition, As you mentioned, this last task happens to only fall on our heads."
"I speak frankly, this is a story tailor-made for us." Yu Liang said.
"Nonsense, otherwise why would we call it our game?" Jiang Yan spat at him.
"It has developed step by step to the present level, so that we have to act according to the development of the plot. It is indeed the system's consistent style." Qi Zhen said.
"What should we do next?" Yu Liang asked.
"What else can we do?" Qi Zhen asked.
Everyone was silent.
Indeed, if these plot trends were deliberately designed by the system, then the team's previous attempts to form gangs in Shushan, force Shushan to complete the reinforcement of the Demon Locking Tower, and even rely on Shushan's strong foundation to complete game tasks together, will not work. Now it seems that it is just a joke.
A battle of wits with the game designer? A battle of wits and courage!
Qi Zhen couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she thought of this, but since she was used to the system's usual way of playing cards that didn't follow the routine, it wasn't that she couldn't accept the current result.
In short, we still have to go to Buzhou Mountain, and we will have to wait until we get the pillars of the Tianzhu Pillar back before we can make long-term plans.
Everyone in the team went back to rest with their own thoughts, and only Qi Zhen and Li Qiang were left in the room.
At night, the two of them were lying on their beds, unable to sleep.
"Captain, I don't want to play this game anymore." Qi Zhen said.
"What are you saying to be depressing?" Li Qiang said.
"It's not that I'm discouraged. I'd actually rather play a game like Plants vs. Zombies. It's a face-to-face fight with gongs and drums. It's just whoever is stronger will win in the end. Even if the process is a bit more exciting, it's still fun to live and to die. It's so happy, nothing like now." Qi Zhen said.
"It's not bad now. At least you don't have to worry about not seeing the sun tomorrow morning." Li Qiang said.
"I'm afraid that one day, once we make a wrong choice, it will lead us to death step by step. We don't even know which step we made the wrong choice," Qi Zhen said.
"This is the biggest difference between life and survival. Here, survival is not what we need to consider most. How to achieve the best results and how to use everything around us are what we really care about." Li Qiang said .
"I understand what you're saying. It's like the difference between cooking oil in hot fire and boiling a frog in warm water. I feel like we are frogs now," Qi Zhen said.
"To be honest, this is my first time to experience this kind of game, but in comparison, I still like this kind of game more." Li Qiang said.
"Why?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Because this kind of game allows me to feel that I am still alive, not just a tool or a machine." Li Qiang said in a deep voice.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
After a long time, Qi Zhen's voice rang out again: "Thank you, captain."
"Go to sleep, we have to travel tomorrow."
Early the next morning, the five members of the team arrived at the gate of Shu Mountain on time. As expected, as Wu Tian said, no one saw off the team today.
The atmosphere in Shushan is extremely strange now. Even on Dajianping, there are few disciples practicing swordsmanship. It seems that after what happened yesterday, the normal operation of all Shushan has come to a standstill. It seems that a generation of elders have collectively taken a break. It still had a great impact on Shushan.
Also, maybe for Shushan, daily practice does not completely rely on the advice and guidance of a generation of elders in Shushan, but suddenly losing the existence of a generation of elders is like the people living a normal life suddenly without the support of the government, even if their lives are not. I wasn't greatly affected, but I still felt a little uneasy inside.
After all, the six Shushan elders are fundamental to Shushan. Without the foundation, where would there be the lush branches of the towering trees?
"Let's go."
Several team members nodded to each other and drew the swords behind them.
Flying swords belonging to several people look different.
Li Qiang is a large and generous sword, and the width of the arrow body can probably allow Meng Ran to lie on it without worrying about falling; Qi Zhen's sword is relatively regular, and there is nothing special about it; Yu Liang's sword has patterns on it It's more complicated. If you have to compare it, his sword seems to be the most valuable one among the team; Meng Ran's and Jiang Yan's swords are both relatively small and delicate, and they are obviously prepared for female disciples. The difference is that Meng Ran's sword was shorter and slender, but the sword in Jiang Yan's hand didn't look like a sword because there were several bends in the middle of the sword body and it looked quite weird.
At that time, the swords flying out from behind Wu Tian flew directly to the sides of several people. In other words, there was no room for the team members to choose on their own. The team members did not choose, and they were not pointing at these swords anyway. The sword can really produce as much offensive power as you want, as long as it can fly.
But one needs to shed blood to recognize the Lord.
The term "recognizing one's owner by dripping blood" is familiar to everyone in the team. According to Yu Liang, it has the same meaning as a dog peeing under the roots of a tree, but the dog urinates to tell others that this place is mine, and this behavior is a bit It's like letting the sword know that we have each other.
That's probably what it means.
But at this time, Yu Liang still asked a question that had been waiting in his mind for a long time. As soon as this question came out, not to mention Qi Zhen, even the others frowned.
"Qi Zhen, how do you think Wu Tian managed to control other people's flying swords around him?"
Qi Zhen shook her head: "How could I know how strong Wu Tian is?"
These days, the team is actually not only doing things in Shushan, but also looking at the library in Shushan, hoping to find something they can learn.
As a result, Yunshan Wuzhao couldn't understand it but didn't talk about it. Those who could understand it didn't know how to practice, but I also learned a lot of knowledge.
Among them, the pregnancy and raising of the natal flying sword still amazed everyone in the team.
The general meaning is that in one's own body, the sword temperature can be developed into a magical skill that seems to be a part of one's own body.
Is it equivalent to one of my own legs?
So what Wu Tian did at that time was indeed too unbelievable, it was equivalent to cutting off someone's leg, bang! Become your own.
