Chapter 300: Ways to Survive

Lan Bingju invited Mu Xingqiu to get on the carriage. She wanted to change her place of stay. "There will be a light rain tomorrow morning on the north side of Chaos Cliff. I like the rain when the sun rises. Everything is hazy, and the world seems to be as far as the eye can see." It is big, there is no orthodoxy, and there is no complicated worldly world.

Mu Xingqiu was not in the mood to talk about the weather. He asked, "Since you don't plan to seek refuge in Luanjing Mountain, why don't you join forces with Pang Shan? You hate Zuo Liuying, but Pang Shan doesn't belong to him."

Lan Bingju looked at Mu Xingqiu with a smile. Although she had wrinkles and sagging skin, her eyes were bright and bright, making her sometimes confident and sometimes majestic. She didn't show any signs of fatigue, and even made people forget that she was a nearly 600-year-old woman. The 20-year-old woman said, "Are you starting to persuade now?"

"I'm just a little confused."

"All doubts stem from different positions. You always side with Pang Shan. Of course you think I am a moody old crazy woman. You can try to stand with me and think about Lian Haishan. Maybe there will be no such thing. Confused."

Mu Xingqiu thought for a while and smiled. He didn't even notice that he cared so much about Pang Shan, "Let me guess, no matter how long your life is and how pure your inner alchemy is, you are now a monk."

"Just call me a casual cultivator. I don't care about the title. Yes, I am a casual cultivator now."

"You just want to keep Lianhai Mountain and chase the rainy season here all your life."

"The terrain of the sea and mountains is complex, and there is no shortage of rain all year round. It is the only place I like and care about."

"Have you ever contacted Qi Wushang?"

Lan Bingju nodded, "He sent an envoy, and I reciprocated the courtesy. We reached an agreement. If the Monster Clan goes to war with Luanjing Mountain, I will not help any party, and I will restrain all the casual cultivators under me. Correspondingly, the Monster Clan army is not allowed. Within a hundred miles of me.”

"Qi Wushang was defeated in Duanliu City and has no strength to go south for a while, so you want to reach a similar agreement with Luanjing Mountain."

“This is what I will achieve in Chaos Bluff.

"But neither Qi Wushang nor Luan Jingshan will respect a group of monks with low strength, so you designed a formation to make them understand that offending Lian Haishan will pay a huge price."

"Look, if you change your perspective, everything will be simple and clear. I am self-aware and do not seek to be on an equal footing with the demon clan or Taoism. I just want to tell the powerful people in this world that my ambition is very small, and it is only limited to connecting seas and mountains. Let me go. , it won’t do him any harm, if he insists on surrendering, it will be a dead end.”

Mu Xingqiu thought for a while.

"This is a way of survival, but..."

"Haha. I know what you want to say. Now is the time for all heroes to rise together. When a force gains a firm foothold, it will still get rid of Lian Haishan. No need for prophecy. I can also see this day coming. , but not soon, this is a thousand-year war, and I will die before the war is over, taking my burial companions with me, and never have to deal with the turmoil and disasters of this world."

Mu Xingqiu felt that these words sounded familiar. He quickly remembered, "You are not the only one who thinks so. When the monsters attacked Duanliu City, King Dongjie abandoned the entire country and ran away. His thoughts were similar to yours, but he didn't have your strength."

"Poor mortals, even if they are kings, they still cannot find a stable foothold for themselves. This is why the casual cultivators are willing to follow me. I can provide them with protection."

"Tell me about your formation." Mu Xingqiu once again confirmed that Lan Bingju could not be persuaded. She had her own interests and ideas. Even if Grandmaster Pang Shan came to persuade her in person, the result would probably be the same.

"I came up with this formation two hundred years ago in order to concentrate the power of a large number of casual cultivators. Have you ever seen the iron-spine dragon's fish-dragon transformation? A group of flying fish turned into a dragon. That's where I got it. Inspiration, this power must first be able to protect everyone, otherwise all the casual cultivators will die and the formation will be gone, and then it must be able to fight with the powerful Taoist priest." Lan Bingju paused for a while, seeming to be thinking about what to do. To what extent the formation has been introduced, "I have calculated that as long as everyone's strength can reach the standards I set, then about twenty to two hundred casual cultivators can fight against Taoist priests with one to seven levels of inhalation. A very interesting thing is that the more casual cultivators in the formation, the stronger the power generated by a single person. Therefore, 300 to 800 casual cultivators can fight against the Taoist priest Fengxia, and 900 to 1,500 Rogue cultivators are comparable to Taoist Taoist Tunyan, and 1,600 to 3,000 rogue cultivators should be equivalent to Taoist priests Xingluo."

"There are dozens of Xingluo Taoist priests in Luanjing Mountain alone, but you only have five thousand or at most nine thousand casual cultivators."

"The actual number is less than four thousand, including hundreds of apprentices who cannot join the battle." Lan Bingju admitted with a smile, "Including me, it is only equivalent to the level of two Xingluo Taoist priests. As I said, Lian Haishan only wants to Survive in the cracks, do not want to compete with the strong, wipe out Lianhaishan, and get only a land of continuous rain, but you may pay the price of one or two high-level Taoist priests. No Taoist order is willing to do this to a group of casual cultivators who are indifferent to the world. It’s a waste, right?”

"What can I do for this formation?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"I named this formation the Fish-Dragon Formation. It must be tightly joined without any flaws. Otherwise, if a Taoist priest rushes in, the entire formation may collapse. After the Taoist priest named Zhang Suqin came, Luanjing Mountain was He's been spying on me."

"That's why Yang Baozhen found out that Shen Geng was in danger and came to the rescue." Mu Xingqiu suddenly said, "You deliberately arranged for us to fight to seduce Yang Baozhen?"

"Haha, you think too much of me. I'm not Zuo Liuying. It's just a coincidence. Yang Baozhen happened to save her son and also happened to break through a loophole in the Fish-Dragon Formation. That's the highest place, the casual cultivator. My strength is limited and I can’t defend it at a high place for long. I need one person to plug this loophole, and that’s you.”

"What do I get?"

"Don't ask me to help Zuo Liuying. That's impossible. You should know my position very well."

"But I will give you another benefit. You practice the illusion of mind alone without the guidance of any high-level Taoist priests. You actually reached the third level of the illusion and learned many methods on your own. I am indeed impressed, but you can't go far like this. Yes. Illusion is the same as the Five Elements Spell. The more advanced it becomes, the more difficult it becomes. You are approaching the limit of how far you can go, and there are still some mistakes, but they are not obvious. "

"Are you willing to teach me the magic of telepathy?"

"In return for your help in making up for the Fish-Dragon Formation."

"Aren't you afraid that this is Zuo Liuying's plan?"

Lan Bingqu had made similar speculations before. Now he doesn't care, "So what? Even if you learn the correct mind-reading illusion technique, you will only be an ordinary Taoist priest within a hundred years, which will not be of much help to Zuo Liuying. Moreover, mind-reading science and Taoism are inherently inconsistent. I would like to see Let’s see if you can escape your fate.”

The carriage stopped, and Mu Xingqiu turned around and opened the curtains to look outside. It was already dawn, and sure enough, it started to rain lightly. A large number of scattered cultivators were setting up formations in the rain. This place was not far from Chaos Cliff. They have to start preparing in advance.

"Okay, I agree." Mu Xingqiu opened the curtain and faced Lan Curling. The bald man scratched his neck with a strand of hair, but he didn't respond. "But you have to teach me the mental illusion skill first, so that I can make the fish dragon The formation is better protected.”

Lan Bingju was silent for a moment, and the smile on his face became mysterious. "Do you know how much mortals like to lie? I have been walking in the mortal world for more than four hundred years, and I have met almost every mortal. Especially these casual cultivators. , they will lie to me when they get the chance, I have to be careful of them at all times and try not to let them appear in front of me. But I believe in your promise, because you are a Taoist priest, Pangshan Taoist priest. Remember Pangshan has a reputation for being rigid.”

"Unless I die. My promise is always valid." Mu Xingqiu said with some pride. He didn't think mortals liked lying, but he didn't want to argue with Lan Bingke about this issue.

Lan Bingju stood up. "Each of the eighteen subjects of Taoism is broad and profound, and the subject of Nianxin is no exception. I think that I know the most about Nianxin illusion among the nine Taoisms, but I only scratch the surface. However, these are the skins that I will pass on to you in a nutshell. It will take a few months, but our transaction is limited to today, so what do you want to learn? "

"I want to know what the Taoist priests of Nian Xin Ke use as their main means of attack. Is it virtual or real? Or is it a combination of virtual and real or turning virtual into real? Is it useful to provoke people's hearts in the end?"

"Ha, it's hard to answer your questions. To put it simply, the mind science department is divided into two groups, one is pragmatic and the other is pragmatic. There is no question of who is stronger and who is weaker, but don't try to go hand in hand. This is exactly what you made before. Mistakes, vacillating between reality and reality, will eventually cause you to be mentally divided. It is not a multi-purpose mind in an illusion, but two hearts that interfere with each other and are hostile to each other. In the end, you will be ruined. "

"I prefer to be pragmatic." Mu Xingqiu knew very well which faction he liked.

"Well, generally speaking, when a Nianxin Taoist priest fights with an enemy, there must be at least two people, one virtual and one real, doubling the power, but you are the only disciple..."

"I'll find a way to solve this problem."

"Then it depends on whether you can train another Nianxin disciple in the future." Lan Bingju briefly thought about the Nianxin illusion she knew, "You want to be a Nianxin Taoist priest who can see blood with a whip... In addition to the nine transformations of the mysterious beast, What other Nianxin boxing techniques have you learned?”

Mu Xingqiu reported several boxing techniques. Although he had practiced them, he felt they were too weak and had never used them in actual combat. Lan Bingju quickly interrupted him, "Needless to say, they are all useless boxing techniques. , you are only in the realm of inhalation, and it is impossible for you to see all the books in the Forbidden Secret Tower. Let me think about it again, it is too late to teach you advanced boxing skills today... By the way, why is there lightning on your whip? ? The Nianxin Boxing and Whip Techniques I know don’t seem to have such an effect.”

"That's a spell." The five-character spell left by Mei Chuan'an has taken root in Mu Xingqiu's heart. Whenever he performs an illusion, he doesn't need to distract himself from reciting it silently, and it will take effect naturally, sending out lightning bolts. Qiu's habit has become natural and he can't get rid of it, so he said it smoothly, "Don't be wrong or weak."

The air in the carriage shook slightly, and it was fleeting. It did not cause any harm, and it did not even disturb the horses outside. However, Lan Bingju's face darkened at this moment. He squeezed the Fire Technique with both hands at the same time and cast it on himself. A few protective spells, and then asked sternly: "Who taught you this? Do you know what spell this is?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head. There were many opinions about this spell, but he believed that none of them were accurate.

Lan Bingju sat down and was in a daze for a while, then raised his head and said coldly. "The person who gave you the spell didn't have good intentions."
