Chapter 224 Entering the Sea
Fu Weidao frowned, Gui Ruoxue seemed to be thinking about something, and Huang Zhutao glanced at Lian Chengyue with a look that seemed to light a fire on his head.
No matter how they behaved, there was one line of words written in the reactions of these three people: How could Lian Chengyue’s heart be so dark?
A teenager can come up with such a vicious method. Does this mean that his heart is equally vicious?
...Lian Chengyue pursed her lips. In his opinion, his remarks were just based on rational thinking - he analyzed in the most rational way the measures that Fengshi Hou would take with the goal of maximizing benefits. He said this only because he thought Feng Shi Hou might do it, and only because... this was a possible action listed based on logic.
However, just because he can come up with such an idea doesn't mean he will do it himself. He was not in the position of the Marquis of Wind Erosion, and he was confident that even if he were the Marquis of Wind Erosion, he would not allow himself to fall into such a situation. After all, if it were him, he would definitely see the extremely strong development momentum of the fairy world in recent years and would not choose to associate with the demon world.
But these three pairs of eyes, like the eyes that people looked at him with in many similar incidents in the past, were all saying one thing.
"This kid is really vicious by nature!"
"Be careful, don't give him the chance to attack us."
But at this moment, a voice broke through the suffocating deep water, like a ray of light shining on Lian Chengyue: "Yes. Lian Chengyue is right. If I were the Marquis of Fengshi, I would also take this approach."
"you……?"
Fu Weidao was stunned. Ning Mingmei said: "Since Fengshi Hou is going to take this approach, he must be ready to break off relations with the Immortal Realm. In order to prolong his life and rule the Ghost Realm before his death, he has already made a desperate move and will do whatever it takes. Fengshi Hou can do this - ruling the Ghost Realm is his only obsession in this life, and besides, he doesn't have much time left to live."
"However, there are also people in the ghost world who oppose this - or, as long as he is a rational, potential, knowledgeable and young ghost, he will definitely oppose Fengshi Hou's idea. Fengshi Hou's move is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Once the plan fails, the ghost world will inevitably suffer a major reckoning from the fairy world." Ning Mingmei said.
Fu Weidao said: "That's right. Besides, this is a completely unscrupulous act..."
"In war, discussing morality is the most meaningless thing to do." Ning Mingmei said, "This is true for both war and ambition."
"Ning Xianzun." Lian Chengyue spoke as if encouraged, "I think Wu Fang, who is beside Fengshi Hou, is a person we can turn against us."
Ning Mingmei glanced at him - the encouragement and appreciation in the Immortal Venerable's eyes made his blood boil.
Lian Chengyue's family background was not particularly outstanding in the Qingji Sect, and he was an outsider who was directly promoted to the outer sect disciple department. Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, he often acted elegant and humble. He keeps all his emotions to himself and never changes his expression in front of others. Only in this way can he gain the fear and respect of others and get the preferential treatment he wants.
But Ning Mingmei is different at this moment.
The young man rarely showed some youthful spirit, his eyes were filled with joy and surprise, as if he had seen a treasure high above. Ning Mingmei said: "We came to the ghost world to rescue people. Fengshi Hou knows that we will not give up. Instead of hiding the hostages deeper, he will definitely speed up the transformation of the nine disciples. This is a good opportunity for us. The final transformation of the nine disciples must be completed in the Old Ghost Palace. The time when they transfer the disciples to the Old Ghost Palace is our chance to take action!"
He pondered for a moment and divided the next deployment into five parts.
The first group of people went to the Old Ghost Palace to investigate the ambush, draw a complete map of the Old Ghost Palace, and investigate the status of the Old Ghost King.
The second group of people explored Fengshihou Mansion, trying to find the place where the nine disciples were imprisoned.
The third group of people inquired about Jiang Duo's news and grasped Fengshi Hou's movements through his activities.
The fourth group of people tried to gather information from Ukraine and tried to incite him to defect.
The fifth group of people were responsible for escorting the rescued but seriously injured monks out of the ghost world.
Now this matter not only concerns the rescue of disciples, but is also related to the conspiracy of the ghost world to invade the immortal world. Ning Mingmei reminded Fu Wei, "Master Fu, we are short of manpower right now. I'm afraid we don't have enough extra manpower for you to hunt down Chang Feichang!"
After saying that, he changed the subject: "What's more, Chang Feichang is not the real culprit of this incident."
Fu Weidao could also think of this. Although his expression was grim, he still said, "The overall situation is more important."
"Master Fu is a wise man." Ning Mingmei nodded.
Fu Weidao's original mission was to track down the real murderer. Now that the real murderer is Marquis Fengshi, it cannot be considered as dereliction of duty. Ning Mingmei then assigned him the responsibility of escorting the injured monks back to Lanqiao.
Gui Ruoxue is good at disguise and was assigned to spy on the Ukrainian side. Huang Zhutao was responsible for inquiring about Fengshihou Mansion, Ning Mingmei arranged two capable disciples to observe Jiang Duo's movements, and he himself was responsible for inquiring at the Old Ghost Palace.
After arranging everyone, Ning Mingmei wanted to arrange Wen Siheng to do additional tasks, but he saw Lian Chengyue staring at him. So he asked, "What are you looking at me for?"
The young man's eyes flickered: "Ning Xianzun, do you think I am vicious?"
"When it comes to scheming, you can't outsmart me." Ning Mingmei said, "No matter how dark your thoughts are, I can make good use of them. Vicious?"
He chuckled softly, "You think too much, useful boy."
Ning Mingmei floated away, leaving Lian Chengyue standing there in a daze. At this moment, Lian Chengyue thought: It would be great if Immortal Ning could just tap his forehead.
Gui Ruoxue followed Ning Mingmei and asked, "How do you want me to get Wu Fang to defect and lure him with benefits?"
Ning Mingmei said: "Redemption."
?
"The Xiaoshengke needs redemption." Ning Mingmei said seriously.
Gui Ruoxue said: "How come you only met him once and gave him a nickname, just like you did to me..."
Ning Mingmei ignored Gui Ruoxue's protest and called Wen Siheng and Duan Ying over.
He originally wanted to speak, but at this moment he hesitated. Wen Siheng saw through his thoughts: "Master, you want to send us to find Hanshan and Junior Sister Ye."
The situation is urgent now, but we are really short of manpower. Ning Mingmei knew that there would be a big battle at the Old Ghost King's palace, and he had to stay here.
But, let Wen Siheng and the others go...
"Master, I have now also reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, and Duan Ying has also reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core." Wen Siheng said, "In the past, both Duan Ying and I could have graduated..."
Ning Mingmei's expression changed: "Stop talking nonsense."
Finally, Wen Siheng sighed softly. His voice floated in the air like a dandelion: "Master, I know you are worried. But we are cultivators of the Qingji Sect after all, and we will eventually drift to all corners of the world. Today we are in the ghost world, and tomorrow we will be in the human world, the immortal world, and even the demon world..."
"..." Ning Mingmei said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about. I'm only thinking about the laboratory project..."
"Those Masters think that we have to go to places that are full of dangers." Wen Siheng said, "Master, you can't let us stay by your side forever."
Disciples are like drops of water, like streams. They leave from the mountain called Master, but they will not stay in the valleys.
They will eventually run, shed tears, laugh, and although tired but active, they will merge into the rivers and finally into the sea.
Because, even if this world is cold and ugly, crowded and not vast, even if the elders will always calculate a better life path for young students, even if there is a most perfect and safest golden tower on the high mountains, all young people will still want to rush to that world full of dangers.
Because - that is the world, full of dangers yet bizarre, extremely realistic yet idealistic. In life, who doesn’t want to see a bigger world, even if they know there is a better way?
Ning Mingmei looked at Duan Ying and Wen Siheng - twenty years had passed and they had both grown up. Wen Siheng's facial features have become more mature and three-dimensional, and the girl who used to purse her lips has grown into a woman with a calm temperament. At this moment, they were all looking at him.
They are the two disciples with the highest cultivation level here. But Ning Mingmei always felt that they could do nothing.
"...Then go ahead and come back early." Ning Mingmei finally said with his eyes closed, "Send me a message when you find the person's location."
The ghost cultivator self-destructed, and the incident happened suddenly. Ning Mingmei did not have time to equip Ye Xuefei and Lao Shiyi with communicators. Mu Hanshan did have a communicator on him, but he never sent them his location information.
As for the reason - Ning Mingmei had already vaguely anticipated it.
"Okay." The two nodded.
Ning Mingmei waved at them. This time he didn't say "come back soon", but said: "Don't forget your thesis proposal."
He quietly watched the two people's backs until they disappeared at the end of the road. Then, Ning Mingmei folded his hands, looked up at the gray sky, and let out a long breath.
What Ning Mingmei didn't know was that at this moment Lian Chengyue was not far behind him, watching him quietly.
…
Old Eleven carried Mu Hanshan on his back, and Ye Xuefei carried Chang Feichang on his back. The four of them were speeding under the grey sky of the ghost world.
In the end, Ye Xuefei put one of the poisoned daggers into her Qiankun bag. However, this made her think that this place was even more dangerous. Therefore, she reached an agreement with Old Eleven to transfer Mu Hanshan and the other person to other places first.
Unfortunately, neither of them carried a compass. The further west they went, the more the sky took on a strange pink-purple hue. Old Eleven felt a little frightened. He asked Ye Xuefei: "Do you know where this is?"
Ye Xuefei also shook her head. A voice came from her back: "This place is close to the River of Oblivion."
I see.
They had run far enough. Ye Xuefei and Lao Shiyi found a cave and dropped the two off. Old Eleven was shocked for a moment when he saw Mu Hanshan in pain.
Mu Hanshan's eyes were bloodshot and his face was distorted, and it was obvious that he was about to be possessed by a demon. Old Eleven asked Ye Xuefei: "What should we do?"
Ye Xuefei looked straight at Chang Feichang. She said, "Elder Chang...can we trust you?"
Chang Feichang just said coldly: "If you don't untie my Xue Dao, he will be completely possessed within an incense stick of time."
Old Eleven secretly tightened the hilt of the sword. He and Ye Xuefei exchanged a glance, and finally said, "Okay, Elder Chang..."
"no!"
Mu Hanshan's sharp voice came from the side of the two men.
The voice was so painful, yet so hysterical, and as ferocious as a widowed lone wolf.
