Chapter 31 The secret of not floating in the water

During the period when Yuan Jun and Cao Bing fought at the Baima Ferry, in a fairy mountain Taoist temple thousands of miles away from Baima, a Confucian scholar wearing a green gown was sitting alone in the hall, looking at the chessboard in front of him with a calm expression.

I saw the black and white chessboard standing in a row, facing north and south, as if the two armies were facing each other, vaguely emitting a burst of solemn and murderous aura.

What's even more incredible is that this Confucian scholar did not make any moves. The black and white on the chessboard seemed to be alive. You advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance, and there was a stalemate.

"Baizi has a great advantage..." The Confucian scholar sighed slightly, and looked along his gaze and saw that the white piece on the chessboard actually occupied two-thirds of the chessboard, while the black piece could only shrink into one piece and struggled to resist.

Suddenly, the Confucian scholar's eyes changed slightly, because he saw a strange black whirlwind appearing in the area where the black pieces and white pieces were stalemate on the chessboard. At the same time, the white pieces were defeated step by step. In the blink of an eye, they had retreated three grids.

"The remnants of the Yellow Turban..." The Confucian scholar frowned suddenly. After looking at the strange small whirlwinds for a long time, he suddenly raised his right hand as if he was going to do something, but after hesitating for a while, he still put down his right hand hesitantly and then sighed.

"If you haven't received a notice, you should not intervene..."

As he was speaking, a yellow light flashed across a white piece on the chessboard. Then, a line of white silk flew out of the chess piece and fell into the hands of the Confucian scholar. The white silk was written with three big characters [Fu of the Wind Sacrifice] on the head. The small characters below were densely packed, which was clearly the article written by Feng Ji.

"Hmph, Feng Yuantu! - Although he is a stubborn guy, he is still righteous!" The Confucian scholar snorted lightly, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. However, after a moment of pause, he saw the Confucian scholar raising his hand and waved his hand on the chessboard. But when he saw his sleeves sweeping over, the black whirlwind suddenly disappeared without a trace.

And just after the black winds dissipated, the white pieces on the chessboard regrouped again, and opposite, the black pieces fell into a disadvantage again.

However, this phenomenon did not last long. In just a moment, a monster about the size of a chess piece appeared in the grid where Kuroko belonged. Judging from its appearance, it was clearly the shrinking of the Shikigami named Thunder Light attracted by Zhang Susu.

Seeing the small monster rushing around the chessboard and destroying many white sprites, the Confucian scholar frowned again.

And at this moment, a white piece on the chessboard emitted a yellow light. In the yellow light, the scene of Guo Tu painting a dragon and snake on the white silk appeared faintly.

"Guo Gongze," the Confucian scholar frowned slightly, and then murmured, "Although he is greedy for selfish interests and is not as good as a person, he is still a good scholar. Good fortune and good fortune should be determined by heaven. Now... it's fine!"

As he said that, the Confucian scholar looked at the black snake painted by Guo Tu and muttered to himself.

"snake?"

After saying that, he seemed to have some enlightenment. He reached out and looked again. When he looked, there was a black snake in his hand that was as big as two knuckles. It was thin and long, looking like an earthworm, very awkward.

But in fact, this snake, the size of an earthworm, is a famous character even among the ancient monsters.

Black water black snake!

It was a first-level monster that was not listed as the top ten ferocious beasts in ancient times. Even looking at the two meat bags slightly raised on the head of the little snake, it was enough to prove that this was not an ordinary mysterious snake, but a mysterious snake that was almost like a dragon. Its strength was obviously not under the thunder lightning of the tiger-shaped monster that Zhang Susu attracted.

"Go!" The Confucian scholar shouted softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the little snake turned into a black wind and fell on the chessboard. After biting the monster called Thunder Light, both disappeared.

After that, the situation between Hei and White regained its original situation again, and Heizi was still at a disadvantage. However, the Confucian expression did not change at all. He stared at the chessboard for a while, sat upright, slowly closing his eyes, and seemed to have no intention of intervening in it.

[Huang Tian...hum! Nonsense!]

At the same time, at the White Horse Ferry, which is thousands of miles away, Zhang Susu is venting his unwillingness in his heart.

"Those two scholars... are so abominable!"

No wonder, after her spells were broken by the other party twice in succession, Zhang Susu's mood obviously fell to a low point. You should know that she was a person with a strong personality. Now she was in Fengji and Guo Tu's hands twice, so it was no wonder that she was indignant.

She was determined to use spells like Guo Tu and Feng Ji challenged her, but unfortunately, she did not have the huge demonic power as much as her sister Zhang Ning.

Therefore, every time she casts a magic trick, she needs a certain amount of time and energy to absorb the slightest demonic power that is displaced between heaven and earth. But to be honest, this is actually the most common process for casting magic tricks. In addition to Zhang Susu, magicians like Jia Xu must also go through this process.

As for Zhang Ning, who has huge demon power in itself, can ignore the process of absorbing demon power between heaven and earth, and even without worrying about demon power, the existence of various magic power can be cast... It is simply a cheating character. No wonder Zhang Susu can never surpass Zhang Ning. After all, the gap brought about by the huge demon power of the nine-tailed fox in Zhang Ning's body is really too huge.

Who broke Susu's spell?

Looking at Zhang Susu's unwilling look, Chen Mo muttered to himself.

Perhaps because he heard Chen Mo's muttering, Zhang Ning sighed slightly, raised his hand and pointed in front of him. An instant twist appeared in the air in front of Chen Mo. Then, the illusion of Feng Ji, Guo Tu and the others bowing to Yuan Shao was actually presented.

"This is..." Chen Mo looked at Zhang Ning in surprise, staring at the illusion, seeing Yuan Shao seemingly praising Feng Ji, Guo Tu and other people thanked him with humility. Seeing this, Chen Mo was stunned. After pondering for a moment, he frowned and said, "Is it these two who broke Susu's magic?"

"That's right!" Zhang Ning nodded after hearing this.

Chen Mo was stunned because he could not see anything special from Feng Ji, Guo Tu and the others. In his opinion, the two were just weak scholars with no power. Looking at their thin faces and bones, the expression on Chen Mo's face became more and more strange, because he felt like those two people, and he could even kill hundreds of them without any effort.

Or, using the mind reading technique to hear the strange thoughts in Chen Mo's heart, Zhang Ning couldn't help laughing, covered his face with his sleeve and chuckled twice, and then reminded Chen Mo softly, "General Chen, don't underestimate these two literati. The literati in the world came from Confucianism. After the decline of the Taoist sect, most of the classics in it flowed into Confucianism. Therefore, there are many Confucian scholars who are proficient in practice. Moreover, Confucian magic is more labor-saving than the Taoist sects of ours..."

"What does it mean?" Chen Mo looked puzzled.

Zhang Ning smiled slightly, and after looking at Feng Ji and Guo Tu in the illusion, he looked back at Chen Mo and said, "General Chen is probably thinking, why these two people have no momentum, right?"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he seemed to be subconsciously about Feng Ji, and Guo Tu accidentally compared with Jia Xu.

"Uh...yes!"

It has to be said that compared to Jia Xu, who had flooded a city with one person's strength in Hongnong, the 30,000 elite Xiliang soldiers under Guo Si's command were wiped out, Feng Ji and Guo Tu in front of him were really worth mentioning.

"That's the case, General Chen is not thinking about it," Zhang Ning whispered, "Although Confucian magic also inherits my Taoist art, after the improvement and research of Confucian scholars, it is already very surprised with my Taoist art. The general must know that if I want to use magic, I need to use Taoist talismans to gather the energy of heaven and earth, gather the essence of the sun and the moon, and then use my personal will to command all land monsters, wind, god and rain masters... the so-called land spirit

The monster, Master Feng Shenyu, in the words General Chen could understand, is a medium that can cause strange phenomena, just like merchants buying and selling transactions. We can repay the demon power. In this way, the medium of land monsters and other media can be temporarily ordered by us. The talisman, after all, is called the [indication], is a prop that can contact those spiritual creatures. It does not require the [Heavenly Dao] to handle it. Therefore, this is the method of [stealing the sky and changing the sun], and it is also the foundation of the world that can exist in the world after Taoism!"

"What about Confucian magic?"

"Confucian magic is different. I just used magic to secretly eavesdrop on the movements of Yuan army on the other side. One of these two is Feng Ji and Guo Tu, both of them are Confucian disciples. The reason why they were able to cast magic was because of the help of [the way of heaven]!"

"The Way of Heaven?" Chen Mo looked strange, and even Zhang Susu could not help but turn Lian here, as if he was a little interested in it.

"Maybe General Chen couldn't believe it, but in fact, the way of heaven exists," Zhang Ning explained in a low voice after organizing the language, "Unlike the spells of our Taoist sect [stealing the sky and changing the sun], most of the magic used by Confucian disciples is mainly [book sacrifice]. Although it is a book sacrifice, it actually includes poetry, lyrics, songs, and fu. In short, it is to submit your long-cherished wish to the heaven and ask the way of heaven to help. Then, the way of heaven comes forward to order those monsters that can cause strange phenomena in the world, that is, media, this is the method of [begging for the heaven to carry on the fortune]..."

"So, the reason why Feng Ji and Guo Tu can crack Susu's spell..."

"That's right!" After interrupting Chen Mo's words, Zhang Ning lowered his voice and said, "There are no ones who can do anything. It is not them who cracked Zhang Tianshi's magic, but the way of heaven!"

Chen Mo opened his mouth in shock. After a long time of silence, he realized that in Zhang Ning's explanation, in addition to humans, animals, plants and monsters, there are also some spiritual bodies that can cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth. For example, he had read the elements in Western fantasy novels before. The Taoist magic, the magic of stealing the sky and changing the sun, can contact those spirit bodies, pay the demonic power as a reward, and temporarily drive those spirit bodies. The Confucian magic [begging for the heaven to carry the fortune] is even more amazing. He directly submits his long-cherished wish to the heaven, and the heavenly way comes forward to order those spirit bodies to help. It is no wonder that Zhang Susu is defeated. After all, how can human power be able to defeat the heaven.

"So that's it...but that spiritual thing..." Chen Mo shook his head with a wry smile. Although Zhang Ning's explanation was clear enough, he was really unbelievable about such an almost absurd thing.

Perhaps he heard the doubts in Chen Mo's heart, Zhang Ning blinked and reminded, "Have you seen those spiritual objects too? Well, it should be said that the general should have a better understanding of them..."

"What?" Chen Mo was stunned. After being stunned for a long time, he said inexplicably, "When did I..." As he was speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.

etc……

wind?

The spiritual object that controls the wind...

Could it be...

Seeing Chen Mo widening his eyes and an incredible expression, Zhang Ning nodded in his mind, and said with a chuckle, "Yes, those spiritual objects that can control the wind will transform into monsters like Fei Lian after they get enough demonic power. However, because monsters are rampant in ancient times, the way of heaven cut off the connection between the world and the sky and the sky. Therefore, in the world, except for the demonic power of those falling monsters, there is no other energy of heaven and earth. Moreover, the world is slowly decaying, and it may eventually completely decay. By then, my Taoist magic will probably not be like what we are now..." As she said that, she sighed and shook her head.

Chen Mo opened his mouth in surprise. After all, there were no so-called Taoist techniques in the future generations he lived in. Could it be that all this was caused by the exhaustion of demonic power in the world?

Although this makes sense, it is too deeply influenced by the concepts of later generations, so Chen Mo is always a little difficult to let go.

Furthermore, he cared more about the demonic powers and spirit bodies...

"Dao of heaven really exists?" Chen Mo asked frowned.

Turning his head, Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Susu deeply, and nodded after raising some points.

"Although what I saw back then was just the clone of the way of heaven, it is enough to prove that the way of heaven does exist. If he had not protected the Han Dynasty, perhaps Uncle Zhang could have probably relied on the rebel army to overthrow Chaotian and establish a new dynasty..."

"What do you mean is that the way of heaven exists, and is it standing on the side of the Han Dynasty?" Chen Mo looked shocked. It was no wonder. After all, everything Zhang Ning said was far beyond his previous understanding.

"Has General Chen not noticed it before? I heard that the Heavenly Dao had warned General Chen when he arrived in Cai in Runan, but General Chen insisted on going against the will of heaven..."

As Zhang Ning said, Chen Mo's mouth widened.

Xia Cai...

Xia Cai...

He suddenly recalled the night when the thunder struck the Yellow Turban flag. At that time, in order to inspire the disheartened Zhang Susu, he held the Yellow Turban flag that was shaking in the thunder and fire in the lightning and thunder.

That turned out to be a simple astronomical phenomenon...

Recalling the words that the ignorant Zhang Jiao shouted at the time, Chen Mo was sweating coldly.

After all, that sentence is no different from what Zhang Jiao proposed [The sky is dead, Huang Tian is standing]. Thinking of this, Chen Mo's forehead was cold.

To be honest, on that night, he actually felt as if there were eyes looking at him in the sky, but he mistakenly thought it was an illusion and didn't care. Now when he heard Zhang Ning's words, he felt a little chill on his back.

"What you mean is that Feng Ji and Guo Tu's Confucian magic use their own righteousness to win the favor of the Tao of Heaven. Then, use the magic of the book sacrifice to ask for help from the Tao of Heaven, and there is no need to consume any demonic power... Is that true?" Chen Mo sorted out his somewhat confused thoughts.

"Um!" Seeing Chen Mo sweating coldly, Zhang Ning couldn't help laughing.

"But this is too that?" Chen Mo frowned after looking at Zhang Susu, "Su Su has consumed a lot of energy to cast those spells just now, but Feng Ji, Guo Tu and the others just wrote a sacrificial article and broke it. This..."

Zhang Ning sighed slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Do you don't know? This heaven is the heaven of the Han Dynasty, not the heaven of the Yellow Turban!"

"What do you mean is that Tiandao deliberately targets Su Su? Why did he need needles..." After saying a while, Chen Mo's voice came to an abrupt end. This time, Zhang Ning didn't need to explain, and even he himself had come up with the answer.

What else is it? It is nothing more than the great wise and wise teacher of the Yellow Turbans. Zhang Jiao put forward the slogan of [The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established]. In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, this is clearly a rebellious act that is above and without the heavenly father. In this way, how can the Heavenly Dao give the Yellow Turban a good look?

Now that things have come to this point, Chen Mo finally understood a little. He finally understood why Zhang Susu abandoned the name of Yellow Turbans and should be used as the Qingzhou soldiers. The reason is very simple, because the Yellow Turban Army has been blacklisted by the Heavenly Dao. According to Zhang Ning's explanation, it is a more terrifying thing than losing the hearts of the people.

"This is really..." Chen Mo sighed long, then turned his head to look at Zhang Susu, and asked hesitantly, "Susu, do you know too, that heaven..."

Zhang Susu nodded, shook her head again, and said softly, "Susu has never seen it with her own eyes, but can only feel it occasionally..."

"Why don't you tell me?"

Zhang Susu looked at Chen Mo in surprise, then smiled bitterly, and whispered, "Xu Dushi, when did Xiao Mo give Susu a chance to explain?"

Chen Mo was stunned. Only then did he remember that when Zhang Susu changed the Yellow Turban to the Qingzhou Army, it was the two of them who were in a long period of cold war because of the deaths of Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Yan and others.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help feeling guilty. After all, when the Yellow Turban was renamed, Zhang Susu was in a bad situation of betrayal of relatives and relatives. Generals like Zhang Yan, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao who could not bear the Yellow Turban rename to the Qingzhou Army left one after another. At that time, he promised to share the joys and sorrows with Zhang Susu, but because of his dissatisfaction, he did nothing and watched the troops that had finally gathered collapse...

"Just like innocently killing Zhu Yan, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and others, you are too arbitrary, Su Su..." Chen Mo sighed long.

Although there was still blame in Chen Mo's tone, and the group of monsters Zhang Susu took action to kill three Han Dynasty generals and more than ones of their tribe, this time, Zhang Susu did not refute at all. On the contrary, Chen Mo's tone mixed with guilt and sigh made her feel particularly warm.

"Next time Susu will never dare again," Zhang Susu looked at Chen Mo with a begging gaze and whispered, "Xiao Mo will accept the position of general of the Fifth Battalion of Qingzhou Soldiers, okay?"

"Really?" Chen Mo was a little suspicious. After all, there were too many examples of her being arbitrary.

"Really!" Zhang Susu nodded repeatedly.

"Hehe," Looking at her serious expression, Chen Mo smiled slightly, and actually raised his left hand and patted Zhang Susu's head gently, chuckled, "Let's talk about this after this battle!"
