It was pitch black and I couldn't see my fingers.
Meng Yu directly released a thunder shield technique on himself to prevent being attacked by others.
After more than ten breaths.
My eyes brightened.
Meng Yu stared and saw that he had not moved at all, and the surrounding scene was still the same.
The others were all there too, looking around equally suspiciously.
Still in Tieling, there is nothing strange around.
The thick black fog just now seemed to have caused no harm to anyone.
"Be careful, this is a dream! It's not the real world!" Gong Xingju said solemnly. He had the highest cultivation level and was the fastest to discover something strange.
"What?!" Everyone was shocked.
In other words, the thick black fog just now brought everyone into a dream.
"Dream?" A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from Miaozhenzi's body, but this golden light disappeared in an instant, as if a terrifying force suppressed the golden light.
"Yes! This is indeed a dream, and my power has been completely suppressed."
There was surprise on Miaozhenzi's face. It was a monkey turned into a spirit. It practiced the way of incense and had a very strong sense of spiritual magic. Its mental power had been restrained.
"Zhang Qiaoqiao has met all of you, sir." A charming female voice suddenly said.
Everyone turned their heads at the same time. On a large black stone not far away, stood a graceful woman in black robe.
This woman was in her twenties, with a charming smile on her face, and her tight black robe showed off her curvy figure to the fullest.
"Spirit!" Gong Xingju stared at Zhang Qiaoqiao closely. He could tell at a glance that this woman was not a human!
"Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!"
Ghost? Spirit snake?
Same as Mya Mako’s monkey?
Is it her?
A thought suddenly flashed through Meng Yu's mind, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "You want to become a mountain god! Kill Miaozhenzi and replace him!"
"What!" Everyone was shocked again!
Zhang Qiaoqiao looked at Meng Yu in surprise, with a look of interest in his eyes: "What a smart little brother, you dare to speculate like this just because the slave family is a monster!"
She did not deny Meng Yu's words!
This is tantamount to admitting it!
"I have never seen you, nor your temple." Miaozhenzi was very confused.
"The mountain god follows the path of cultivation of believers. If you don't have followers, how can you improve your cultivation?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao stuck out his long tongue and licked his red lips: "The Nu family cultivates the path against the incense."
"When the residents here lose their faith in you, their inner fears, resentments, complaints... and all other negative spirits become food for the slave family!"
Meng Yu's heart was racing, all the clues flashed through his mind, and he already had a vague answer in his mind.
"It turns out that the people in the martial arts hall and the escort agency were also bewitched by you, so they destroyed those girls!"
"They did such tragic things just to make the residents of Tieling no longer trust the mountain god!"
"They didn't frame this matter to the mountain god. It was you who framed it!"
"Perhaps you spread the news about the mountain god harming people on purpose!"
"When the residents of Tieling no longer trust the mountain god, the mountain god will have no followers, the popularity will not continue, and the cultivation will stagnate."
"In order to reverse this situation, Myao Mako-senpai must resolve this matter personally."
"It uses means to kill people in escort agencies, brothels and martial arts schools in order to send a message to the Demon Slayer Division."
"But you have been covering up Myoko's whereabouts and aura!"
"Every time Myoko kills someone, you drag their souls into dreams and then kill them silently."
"If no evidence is found, the Demon Slayer Division naturally doesn't know about this!"
"As time went on, Miaozhenzi had no followers, no incense, and his cultivation would retreat if he did not advance. However, the residents of Tieling became more and more afraid and hated the mountain god, and their resentment towards the mountain god became more and more intense."
"This will greatly enhance your strength!"
"Now, it should be the time for Tu Qiong to meet, right?"
The more everyone listened, the more frightened they became!
Unexpectedly, this Qiaoqiao was actually the initiator of everything!
If you think about it carefully, there is something really strange!
Although the people in the martial arts school and the escort agency cannot be said to be good people, they cannot be said to be bad people either.
Being in Myanmar, how could they not know the consequences after the incident!
It is obviously wrong to violate those Tieling girls as soon as they meet!
Even if you drink and become lustful, it is impossible for everyone in the martial arts hall and the escort agency to lose their minds!
In all likelihood, it was Zhang Qiaoqiao who used demonic means to confuse those warriors and make them lose their minds, which was why he committed such a tragic incident.
This tragedy was Zhang Qiaoqiao's first move against Miaozhenzi!
Everything after that happened according to her plan.
After two years, she has surpassed Myoko's cultivation level.
Today is the time for her to seize the position of Mountain God.
Zhang Qiaoqiao looked at Meng Yu in surprise: "You... are really smart!"
She only answered two or three questions, and Meng Yu connected all the clues!
Could it be that this is the pride of heaven among human spiritual cultivation?
The taste of God's chosen one must be delicious, right?
Zhang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly when she thought of this!
"Zhang Qiaoqiao, you and Miaozhenzi are competing for the position of mountain god, and the Demon Slayer Division will not interfere." Gong Xingju said calmly.
"You shouldn't have gotten us into this!"
Zhang Qiaoqiao said nonchalantly: "I'm already involved. Sir, what can you do to me?"
A faint smile appeared on her face.
This is a dream world, and it is in her dream.
She is the leader!
She can control everyone's life and death at will!
Unless Gong Xingju's soul cultivation is a level higher than hers, it will be impossible to escape from the dream!
"Is your dream world related to gambling?" Meng Yu saw the helplessness in Gong Xingju's eyes, and he knew that Lord Gong was helpless now.
In this case, we can only save ourselves.
This is Zhang Qiaoqiao's dream world, with specific world rules.
Only by understanding the rules can you find loopholes and leave the dreamland.
That rule must be related to gambling.
Zhang Qiaoqiao looked at Meng Yu in amazement: "You are so calm... Look at those people, their faces turned pale with fear."
Meng Yu glanced sideways slightly. Mu Shengqi and Tian You's faces were indeed pale. Although Liu Hongxiu and Li Xiangwen's faces looked slightly better, they still pretended to be calm.
The four of them have no means to change the current situation.
Although Miaozhenzi and Gong Xingju had higher cultivation levels, they were not stronger than Zhang Qiaoqiao, and they were also unable to break the game.
"What are the rules of gambling here?" Meng Yu turned around and stared at Zhang Qiaoqiao and asked.
"It's very simple!" Zhang Qiaoqiao continued to smile.
"In this world, anyone can bet against me."
"As long as you can beat me once, you can leave this world."
"The special rule is, I'm nine times your size."
Meng Yu was shocked: "What do you mean? Nine times?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao smiled like a flower: "Everything is nine times better!"
"Cultivation, soul, aura, strength, defense, speed... everything, etc., are all nine times."
"You can make any bet with me."
"We can bet on literature, martial arts, souls, luck..."
"Anything works!"
"No limit to the number of times and no limit to the type."
Liu Hongxiu exclaimed: "How can we win?"
Everyone felt hopeless.
Zhang Qiaoqiao is equivalent to himself with nine times the strength. No one can beat himself with nine times the strength, right?
The special rules of this dream world make it impossible to win the bet!
"Think about it, there is only a quarter of an hour, and then the first person will bet against the slave family..." Zhang Qiaoqiao was very satisfied with everyone's desperate expressions.
Despair represents fear, fear, and helplessness!
Such a lost soul would be of great benefit to her cultivation!
Every soul of the ordinary people who died in escort agencies, brothels and martial arts halls had bet with her in her dreams, and every soul fell into the abyss of despair, becoming the nourishment for her cultivation.
These people now are not ordinary people!
They are spiritual!
The spiritual souls are a thousand times stronger than ordinary people. If she can swallow all these souls, her cultivation level will be greatly enhanced. The premise is that she must first make them fall into despair!
Nine times!
This... there shouldn't be any way to win the bet, right?
If you fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him!
You cast a spiritual spell, and the opponent casts a spiritual spell that is nine times more powerful. The difference is huge.
Meng Yu thought hard, but still couldn't find any solution.
Sure enough, the leader of the dream has absolute control.
Last time, Meng Yu was able to escape in a dream entirely because of Dongfang Bubai's dagger.
Time passed by breath by breath.
"The time is up, which one of you comes first?" Zhang Qiaoqiao looked around everyone with a smile, and her eyes fell on Mu Shengqi first.
Mu Shengqi turned pale and avoided her sight.
Zhang Qiaoqiao smiled even brighter and looked at the others. Almost everyone, including Gong Xingju, did not dare to look at her.
"Alas, things started because of old age, and old age came first." Miaozhenzi sighed and walked straight up.
"Okay!" Zhang Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up. As long as Miaozhenzi loses the bet, she can devour the incense cultivation of the opponent, and the position of Tieling Mountain God will be secure.
"What do you want to bet on?"
Maozhenzi's eyes were firm: "Bi Chan!"
"Recite sutras?" Zhang Qiaoqiao was slightly stunned. She had never recited any sutras.
"Not bad!" A hint of joy flashed in Miaozhenzi's eyes.
It was a monkey that became a spirit. Before it became a spirit, it once lived next to an eminent Buddhist monk in a deep mountain forest.
The monkey has a spirit and will often pick some wild fruits from the mountains as offerings to the eminent monks.
The eminent monk praised the monkey for his understanding, so he recited a sutra for the monkey every day.
The name of that sutra is "Thus Honoring the Impermanence Sutra".
The monkey listened to eminent monks chanting sutras every day, and gradually opened its spiritual orifices, opened the transverse bones in its throat, and gradually became able to speak human language.
The monkey wants to worship the eminent monk as his teacher and learn the method of spiritual cultivation.
The eminent monk sighed that although the monkey resembled a human body, it was not a human body and could not practice human spiritual skills.
In the end, the eminent monk passed on a set of incense skills to the monkey. By practicing this method, one can gain followers, accumulate incense, and follow the path of Shinto. Mountain God is the most suitable path.
After that, the eminent monk wandered around and did not return to the mountains for more than ten years, so the monkey set out on the road to find the wild mountains.
Wild mountains are mountains without mountain gods.
It took the monkey decades to find Tieling, and finally settled here, becoming the mountain god here. It also gave itself a human name, Miaozhenzi.
Myoko had listened to eminent monks reciting sutras for several years. After opening her spiritual acupoints, she had already memorized this sutra by heart.
The eminent monk's chanting method is very beneficial to his Shinto practice.
That’s why it competes with Zhang Qiaoqiao in chanting sutras!
It believes that although Zhang Qiaoqiao is blessed by the special rules of dreams, he definitely cannot recite sutras!
"How to determine the outcome?" Zhang Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, she was not worried.
Because this is her dream world, and the ninefold rule is the strongest means of her dream.
Ever since she realized this dream method, no one or anything has ever been better than her in dreams!
"Quickly, you and I will recite the "Thus Honoring the Impermanence Sutra" at the same time!" Miaozhenzi was full of confidence.
"Whoever recites the entire scripture faster will win."
Zhang Qiaoqiao rolled his eyes and said with a charming smile: "What if you and I finish reciting at the same time, wouldn't it be a tie?"
"How about this, we recite it at the same time. If we finish reciting it at the same time, and then recite this verse backwards, whoever recites it from the end to the beginning first will win, how about it?"
Myoko's expression changed drastically!
Although it memorized the scriptures very well, it never memorized them backwards!
"Don't you have confidence?" Zhang Qiaoqiao raised the corner of her mouth.
"Okay! Just do as you say!" Miaozhenzi nodded suddenly.
It never believes that the other party can recite it faster than itself!
She must be putting on airs!
"In that case, you can start. I'll give you... thirty breaths." Zhang Qiaoqiao remained calm and asked Miaozhenzi to recite it first.
"No need to let me, you and I will recite it at the same time!" Miaozhenzi said quickly after a change of heart.
It felt that Zhang Qiaoqiao didn't know the content of the scripture at all, so it asked it to recite it first.
"Are you sure? As you wish!" Zhang Qiaoqiao opened her lips lightly.
"Thus I have heard, the spirit of all beasts, the way of man, the noble spirit of all beasts..."
"Thus I have heard, the spirit of all beasts, the way of man, the noble spirit of all beasts..."
Maozhenzi was shocked to find that it and Zhang Qiaoqiao actually recited the exact same scripture!
The two voices were consistent, and the two voices blended together as if they were one voice!
impossible!
Myoko, hurry up and speed up!
"... There is no bone in the throat, which can communicate with people, and there is communication in the brain, which can open people's orifices..."
"... There is no bone in the throat, which can communicate with people, and there is communication in the brain, which can open people's orifices..."
However, Zhang Qiaoqiao actually accelerated at the same time, and there was no difference between the two!
Miaozhenzi was getting more and more frightened!
They have memorized more than half of the entire scripture, and there are only a few hundred words left, but the two of them still maintain the same speed!
"You..." Miaozhenzi suddenly stopped reciting and stared at Zhang Qiaoqiao closely!
She must have heard the content of her own scriptures before she knew the subsequent scriptures. As long as she didn’t memorize them, she probably wouldn’t know either!
However!
"...Thousands of beasts are imaginary but not human. If you don't practice spiritual magic, you should practice the divine way. Mountains, rivers, seas, and the earth...all can become gods..." Zhang Qiaoqiao actually continued to recite!
"You, it's impossible to know the subsequent verses!" Myoko's face turned pale, he lost!
