Chapter 389 It’s Really Unexpected

After being freed from the identity of the Earth Charm Spirit Turtle, Meng Zhou began to consider the next arrangements.

Sneaking into the Xingxiu Sea was only the first step of the plan. There was still a long way to go before he could break the pill and become an infant with the help of this fourth-level spiritual vein.

Moreover, there was another huge obstacle in front of him, which he had not expected at all when he made the plan.

"Xingxiu Tianchi!" Meng Zhou whispered in his heart.

…

In order to be as unnoticeable as possible, although Meng Zhou sneaked into the Xingxiu Sea with the help of the female cultivator Fan Ling, he deliberately did not use her to spy on the Xingxiu Sea.

The only intersection between him and this woman was that he took a "ride" with her return.

On Kou Chong's side, Meng Zhou often used the monkey demon's vision to observe Kou Chong's life and enhance his understanding of the Xingxiu Palace.

And through Kou Chong's deliberate exploration these days, Meng Zhou also had a deep understanding of the "Xingxiu Tianchi".

…

On Lingming Island.

Inside a stone hall.

Inside the hall, the space is very large.

The lighting is excellent, transparent and bright.

In the empty hall, there are bookshelves made of black jade-like stone.

The distance between each bookshelf is very large, and each bookshelf has its own insect-proof, insect-proof and moisture-proof functions.

On the bookshelf, there are paper books arranged in different categories.

In addition to paper books, there are also special books with text or pictures on bamboo slips, wooden slips, silk, cloth, and even animal skins and barks.

Most of these books have a long history. They can be preserved to this day thanks to the proper preservation of Xingxiu Palace and the conscious maintenance of all Xingxiu Palace people.

Although, the Xingxiu Palace has long been secretly copying the contents recorded in these books with jade slips.

If you want to check any information, directly searching the jade slips with your spiritual sense is much more efficient than coming here to look through books one by one.

But when the Xingxiu Palace monks want to find an answer to their doubts, this hall will still be their first choice.

Buried in the sea of ​​books, through time, they can directly communicate with the collections accumulated by the people of Xingxiu Palace from generation to generation, and exchange and learn from the wisdom hidden in those books.

When they flip through these books, they see not only the content of the books.

There are also the words written by the authors themselves.

The words written by the authors with their heart and wisdom are like solidified music, or like the continuous gurgling water. The pauses of the strokes, and even the trembling of a certain line, may hide a certain throbbing of the author's mood at that time...

If you can completely immerse yourself in it and go deep into these books and words, you can really touch the author's soul, wisdom, and even some subtle thoughts that are not really recorded in words and hidden.

This experience cannot be given by viewing the information on the jade slips.

Only by directly flipping through the first-hand text notes written by the author, completely immersing yourself in it, and even putting yourself in the author's shoes, can you trigger the situation.

This is also the true expectation of the Xingxiu Palace disciples who came here to seek answers to some confusion in their hearts.

They tried to find a passage that would brighten their eyes and even dispel the haze in their hearts from the countless words.

This was the case with Yan Zhuang in the past.

This is also the case with Kou Chong now.

At this moment, Kou Chong was sitting cross-legged casually on the smooth and cold ground of the hall, with piles of books piled around him.

The height of the piles of books exceeded the height of his body.

At this moment, a figure came from a distance and stopped at the periphery of the "maze array" formed by piles of books.

This was a skinny old man. At this moment, he had a stern face and looked at Kou Chong, who was completely unaware of the outside world, with anger on his face.

"Kou Chong!" The old man suppressed his anger and shouted directly at Kou Chong, who was buried in the pile of old papers.

Kou Chong did not respond.

"Kou Chong!"

The old man shouted again, and this time, his voice was filled with undisguised anger.

In addition to anger, there was also a strange power.

When this sound entered Kou Chong's ears, it was like a bunch of fine needles piercing Kou Chong's eardrums.

Kou Chong, who had no reaction at first, screamed and even wanted to jump up on the spot.

But he was pressed to the ground by an invisible force.

Except for being able to barely lift his head, he could no longer do anything.

"Ah, Uncle Zheng!"

The old man called "Uncle Zheng" is the current manager of the hall here. Although, according to the rules of Xingxiu Palace, as long as the cultivation is at the same level, they are treated as peers and can be called senior brothers and junior brothers, senior sisters and junior sisters.

But the old man is too old. If you really want to talk about it, he is even older than the Yuanying ancestor who died in his prime. A "young boy" like Kou Chong dare not really call the other party "Senior Brother Zheng". Gradually, the old man surnamed Zheng has the conventional name "Uncle Zheng".

"Uncle Zheng" hummed lightly as a response.

He immediately noticed Kou Chong's red eyes, and then saw his face which looked extremely haggard due to long-term overdrawn.

The old man saw this, and his anger immediately disappeared by 80% and his voice became softer.

"How many times have I told you? Just read in a disciplined manner when reading. You can only take out ten books at most at a time. After reading, return them to where they were before you can pick them up again!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Kou Chong, who was sitting casually on the ground, and then glanced at the piles of books surrounding him in the center, and his voice rose again:

"Besides, didn't I provide you with tables and chairs here?

If you want to read a book, just read it in an upright manner. What are you like now?

If everyone behaves as randomly as you do, no one will be able to watch it for a long time! "

After listening to the old man's reprimand, Kou Chong stood up with a stern expression, bowed to the old man, and explained:

"Uncle Zheng, believe me, I must have been fascinated just now. I didn't want to run back and forth, so I just browsed at the bookshelf. I don't know why, so I sat down, and the books around me were piling up more and more... I It’s really not intentional!”

The old man snorted.

“It doesn’t matter whether you did it on purpose or not, it’s just what you did.

...This is my third warning. If you ignore my words again, I will drive you away directly. Don’t come here again! "

After hearing this, Kou Chong finally showed a nervous look on his face and put away all the little thoughts in his heart.

"Uncle Zheng, please wait a moment. I will correct it right now. I will correct it immediately!"

As he spoke, Kou Chong stretched out his hand and touched it gently, and all the books on the ground floated gently under the support of a gentle force.

Then, these books quickly dispersed, like tired birds returning to their nests, returning to different empty spaces on different bookshelves.

During the whole process, Kou Chong was cautious, as if he was afraid of bumping them due to his rudeness.

After all the books were returned to their places, Kou Chong looked at the old man with an expression asking for credit.

As if to say: "Look, I have done everything you asked me to do."

The old man nodded with satisfaction, but warned again: "Remember, this won't happen again!"

"Hey, I took note of it...then you are busy with your business."

With that said, Kou Chong turned around and walked towards other bookshelf areas.

At this moment, the old man suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

Hearing this, Kou Chong stopped, turned around, and looked at the old man with doubts on his face.

The old man stared at Kou Chong and said, "You are in a very bad state now."

Kou Chong nodded and did not reply. He continued to look at "Uncle Zheng". The look of confusion on his face did not disappear, but became a little stronger.

"If I remember correctly, you came here very quickly after you returned from the Juye wilderness half a year ago.

I stayed here for half a year and never went out again, right? "

"Well, yes." Kou Chong replied.

The old man nodded, thought for a while, and said: "I roughly understand what you are looking for. I can tell you clearly that if you continue to search like this, you will not get any results even if you stay here for a hundred years."

When Kou Chong heard this, he looked startled, and then murmured: "You mean, there is nothing I'm looking for here?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I'm just a manager. If you ask me, who should I ask?"

Kou Chong was obviously not satisfied with his answer and muttered:

"Then why are you so sure that there will be no results if I stay here for a hundred years!

Since you don’t know, you shouldn’t say such things for no reason. Isn’t it fun to kill people’s hearts? ! "

The old man shook his head again, "Is this what I'm talking about? I'm talking about your attitude and method of doing things!"

"What do you think of reading? Do you think that if you put in the effort, you will be rewarded? What a joke!"

"A smart brain, abundant energy, active thinking, and a flash of inspiration after reading a lot of books... Without these prerequisites, what you see is just a dead text record."

"You just watched it briefly. Apart from that, what else do you expect to gain?"

After hearing what the old man said, Kou Chong was speechless.

"Then...what should I do now?"

"You should go back and have a good rest now, and then come back after you have regained your energy." The old man said.

Kou Chong was silent, but there was some hesitation in his expression.

Seeing this, the old man suddenly said: "If you listen to me, I can give you some more useful suggestions."

When Kou Chong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the old man eagerly, like a greedy puppy waiting for his master to feed him.

"You are searching aimlessly now. There are so many books, do you really plan to search them one by one?" the old man asked.

Kou Chong said, "Uncle Zheng, you must know something, right?"

As he spoke, he had a look of affirmation on his face, nodded and said:

"You have been responsible for taking care of this place for hundreds of years. There is no one in our palace who is more familiar with the situation here than you!

So, you must know something, right? ! "

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Kou Chong was not disappointed. Instead, he stared at the old man with his eyes, as if to say, you make it up, keep making it up!

"However, I can point you in which area to search, and you will have the greatest chance of success." The old man said slowly.

Kou Chong's face showed the first smile in half a year, as if to say, look, you showed it yourself, right?

After all this, you still say you don’t know anything. Is this appropriate?

"Uncle Zheng" seemed to know what he was thinking, shook his head and said:

"Do you think you are the only one who wants to find that answer? Don't think of yourself too special!

I have seen too many people like you. They were looking aimlessly like you at first, but in the end, those who persisted and never gave up will stay in a certain area for a long time. "

After hearing this, Kou Chong's eyes lit up and he said, "So, the answer is probably hidden in the book collection in that area?"

"Uncle Zheng" nodded, "I think so too, but this is also my guess. I don't know whether it is the case or not."

Kou Chong, on the other hand, looked unbelieving, "You've already put the food in your mouth, how can you hold back your greed? I don't believe you haven't verified it yourself!"

"Uncle Zheng" shook his head and sighed:

"What am I asking for proof? For me, if it is a real proof, what's the use?

I am no better than you. I am able to get to where I am today simply by living a long time and cultivating my abilities bit by bit.

At my age, I am thankful to God that I can keep my cultivation level intact. There is no hope of going any further.

You said, why should I seek verification?

It's okay if you don't seek proof, but if you do seek proof and something comes out, it will cause countless troubles, wouldn't you make yourself unhappy? ! "

Kou Chong was choked by "Uncle Zheng"'s frank words.

He also realized that his feelings could not be equated with the feelings of all Xingxiu Gongdan.

Although the disciples of Xingxiu Palace are all geniuses, how many of them are able to cultivate all the way to the ninth level of pill formation and still have the energy and ability to continue to move forward?

Most of these people had already tried it during the last mountain closure period that lasted nearly two hundred years.

Some have succeeded, and many have failed.

"So, I am the 'few exceptions'."

Thinking of this, Kou Chong felt inexplicably a little disappointed.

Originally, after learning from others about the consequences that "Xingxiu Tianchi" would have on the Xingxiu Palace Formation Pills, Kou Chong subconsciously felt that he was standing with all the Xingxiu Palace Formation Pill Formations.

The four newly promoted Nascent Soul Ancestors stood on the opposite side of this whole group.

This kind of imagination gave Kou Chong inexplicable confidence.

But now, "Uncle Zheng's" words suddenly made him realize that he did not stand with all the Xingxiu Palace Formation Pills.

He was probably standing alone opposite the four new Nascent Soul Ancestors.

This kind of imagination made Kou Chong unable to breathe for a while.

Soon, Kou Chong suppressed these thoughts in his heart, changed the topic and asked:

"Then can you tell me the specific location of the book collection area?"

"Uncle Zheng" smiled and shook his head: "Have you forgotten my request?"

Kou Chong said "Yeah", with a look of surprise on his face, and said hurriedly: "I'll go back and rest right now, I'll go back and rest right now."

With that said, Kou Chong, who was about to turn around and leave the palace, suddenly thanked "Uncle Zheng" solemnly and said, "Thank you for your concern."

"Uncle Zheng" waved his hand and said, "I just don't want you to die suddenly here. Then I, the old man, will have to deal with you."

As he spoke, he shook his head and walked away.

Kou Chong was stunned.

After the old man left, he shook his head and chuckled: "This is Uncle Zheng."

With that said, Kou Chong also left the hall with a massive collection of books and walked outside.

At this moment, he was in a pretty good mood.

It can even be said that since returning from the Juye wilderness half a year ago, his body and mind have never been so relaxed.

Ever since he returned from the Juye Wilderness and learned from other people what impact the opening of the "Xingxiu Tianchi" would have on the Xingxiu Palace Pill Formation, he was in a state of almost suffocating depression.

He was unwilling to do so.

He was unwilling to let his path stop there.

Although, reason told him that even if the road to Yuanying was open to him, the chance of him being able to rush through was very small.

But whether I can rush over or not is my business.

Even if I can't make it through, or even die in front of the checkpoint, it's also a matter of my own ability.

But this cannot be the reason for you to "close the road"!

He is not angry.

Why?

Why do you four have to block the way for us latecomers after you four become Nascent Souls?

How do you qualify to be called "ancestor"?

He wanted to know more about the "Xingxiu Tianchi".

He even wants to find a way to crack it!

In fact, after half a year of aimless searching, he himself had lost much confidence in it.

He would even occasionally jump out of his body, stare at himself who was busying around from a bystander's perspective, and laugh at him mercilessly: "Hey, let's see how long you can last."

As the emotions that initially filled my heart, boiling as if they were about to erupt like a volcano, slowly dissipated in the futile search.

Kou Chong found that there was no longer so much unwillingness and resentment in his heart.

If there was no more light, he even doubted how long he could torture himself in vain.

The appearance of "Uncle Zheng" and some of the information revealed in his words were like rain falling on the dry earth.

His heart suddenly showed signs of revival.

This made his heart, which had been tense for half a year, suddenly relax.

However, it was precisely because of this sudden relaxation that many negative states that had been suppressed by his strong cultivation and will came flooding back.

Now, as soon as Kou Chong walked out of the hall, he felt a strong sense of sleepiness hitting him like a mountain and a tsunami. He couldn't wait to return to the cave and have a deep sleep.

As for the original purpose of his return this time, he had long forgotten about his breakthrough to the late stage of Jindan.

His condition in the past six months was indeed not suitable for this.

At this moment, Kou Chong suddenly remembered this "business" again.

"Breakthrough?... Hey, breakthrough?!"

...

Three months later.

Kou Chong, whose cultivation level had risen from the peak of the sixth level of Jindan to the seventh level of Jindan, stepped onto the steps of the library again.

At this moment, his condition was much better than when he left here three months ago, and he was completely different.

After entering the empty and quiet hall with the token, Kou Chong did not immediately notice the figure of "Zheng Bo".

He walked around the rows of bookshelves for a long time before he found "Zheng Bo" quietly resting with his eyes closed on a recliner in a hidden corner.

A beam of sunlight shone in from a not-so-large window above, projecting on the side of "Zheng Bo". This strong change of light and dark made the area where "Zheng Bo" was more difficult to detect and easy to be ignored.

That's why Kou Chong took a long time to find him.

"Zheng Bo."

Kou Chong whispered to the old man on the recliner.

"Huh?"

"Zheng Bo" opened his eyes and looked at Kou Chong, surprised:

"It's you, kid. I thought you wouldn't come. It's been a few months?"

Kou Chong smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me to have a good rest? I wanted to take this opportunity to do the business I came back for, so I spent some more time."

"Zheng Bo" nodded, looked Kou Chong up and down, waved his hand and said, "Then go."

Kou Chong stood there without moving.

"Zheng Bo" looked at him in confusion, as if to say, what are you still doing there? You're blocking me from the sun!

Kou Chong said helplessly, "Where should I go?"

"Zheng Bo" groaned and slapped his legs and said, "Oh, I'm old and confused. Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

"Zheng Bo"'s brain seemed to have just been turned on and restarted, and he looked like he was trying to retrieve his memory.

After a while, he said:

"Diyin District, yes, go to the bookshelf from the first row to the twentieth row of Diyin District to look for it.

By the way, remember what I said last time, you can only take ten books at most at a time, find a seat and sit upright, read it properly, if you want me to see it again... uh, where is the person?"

After giving instructions, "Zheng Bo" also remembered his duties and said the words he had repeated countless times again.

But before he finished speaking, he found that Kou Chong, who was standing respectfully in front of him just a moment ago, had disappeared at this moment.

He immediately thought of what was going on and cursed: "This little bastard..."

After cursing, his mood was smooth and he closed his eyes again.

While resting with his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, as if he was happy that he had fulfilled his management responsibilities.

...

Time went back to three months ago.

Kou Chong's mind was completely hooked by "Xingxiu Tianchi", and he had no mind to care about anything else.

He did not think of releasing the sleeping monsters in the beast bag to play after returning to Xingxiu Sea.

The monkey monster transformed from the body of Tai Sui was naturally able to sleep peacefully in the beast bag.

This inadvertently provided convenience for Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou also knew the activity trajectory of Kou Chong in the six months after returning to Xingxiu Sea from the Five Regions.

He naturally had a clear understanding of the "Xingxiu Tianchi".

When Kou Chong read books, he also read books with him.

In theory, the information they obtained from the books in the hall was the same.

But the ability of the two to absorb information was completely different. Kou Chong just read them. He threw away any records that were not related to the "Xingxiu Tianchi" and did not take them into his mind.

And all the books that Kou Chong had read were stored in the "Deduction World" without missing a word through the monkey monster.

-- Because of some special designs, those books are usually sealed. Only when the viewer opens a page, the content will enter the viewer's field of vision.

The purpose of doing this is to preserve the divine will in the book as much as possible, and to prevent the subtle true meaning hidden between the lines from being lost under the scouring of the long torrent of time.

But this also brings another effect, that is, practitioners cannot directly absorb the information in the book with their powerful divine consciousness.

If not, Meng Zhou would have found a way to "pack" all the books in the hall into the "interpretation world" through the monkey demon, and use his information processing ability that far exceeds other cultivators to eat it up.

——In addition, it should be mentioned that Meng Zhou did not directly observe Kou Chong's environment, including the people and things around him, through the monkey demon.

Limited to the strength of the monkey demon's true body at the peak level of the third-level middle grade, the Tai Sui body that Meng Zhou used was of the same quality. In this case, the strength that the monkey demon itself can exert will naturally be greatly limited.

Even if he can make the monkey demon's power more efficient to achieve power output beyond its own strength, this is undoubtedly actively putting the monkey demon in a more dangerous situation.

His understanding of Kou Chong and the people and things around him came entirely from Kou Chong himself.

It was the bloody meatball that had transformed into the monkey demon's body that was used. This was originally a means for the contractor to control the contracted demon beast, but after being processed by Meng Zhou, it was not only perfectly "transplanted", but also the "one-way channel" that was originally used by the contractor to control the contracted demon beast was turned into a "two-way channel".

Through this connection, what Kou Chong saw, the monkey demon could also see.

Even Kou Chong's intense emotional changes could be sensed by the monkey demon in reverse.

In the Xingxu Sea, where there were many Jindans everywhere and it was unknown when Yuanying would appear, it was undoubtedly a very suicidal behavior to directly spy outside with a monkey demon.

Hiding behind Kou Chong was undoubtedly a more concealed and safer approach.

…

Meng Zhou could feel that after half a year of almost venting "trouble", Kou Chong suddenly heard about the "Xingxu Tianchi", and many negative emotions that suddenly arose in his heart had been unconsciously dissipated.

According to this development, Kou Chong would wake up from this "crazy" state in half a year at most.

From beginning to end, it took less than a year.

He couldn't really destroy himself because of this.

"It's good that Zheng Bo appeared!"

Meng Zhou felt the same emotion as Kou Chong.

However, the deep meaning behind it was completely different.

In Kou Chong's eyes, the appearance of "Zheng Bo" was just like timely rain.

When he was most confused, needed help and advice the most, "Zheng Bo" appeared.

Because of the appearance of "Zheng Bo", his confused and shaken state of mind was stabilized and nourished at once.

I'm fine again!

After many twists and turns, there seems to be no way out, but there is another village!

But in the eyes of Meng Zhou, a calm bystander, it means something completely different.

He even tasted a kind of familiar charm from it.

What a familiar feeling!

However, Meng Zhou and this "Zheng Bo" were clearly meeting for the first time.

In fact, it can only be regarded as "half-meeting" at most.

"Something is strange!"

"There is something wrong with this Zheng Bo!"

This is Meng Zhou's intuitive judgment.

All the memories related to the Xingxiu Palace were quickly searched in Meng Zhou's mind.

Finally, Meng Zhou found the source behind the intuitive judgment.

At that time, Yan Zhuang suddenly realized that the "Blood Heir Cleansing Spirit Secret Method" had caused fundamental damage to his foundation.

He could no longer reach the peak of the Jindan stage by himself, let alone break through the Yuanying stage.

The "Substitute Infant Secret Method" became his only way out.

The "Ancient Painting True Spirit" that had been refined in the blood of generations in Cuiyu Lake for more than a hundred years became his only hope for further progress.

So, he couldn't wait to return to the Five Domains (i.e. the Juye Wilderness).

But at that time, the Xingxiu Palace was still in a state of closure.

He had no way to sneak out of the Xingxiu Sea and descend to the Five Domains.

In the end, he made the same choice as Kou Chong. With such doubts, he also came to the hall with a huge collection of books.

Hard work pays off.

After spending about half a year, he finally found a way to sneak out of the Xingxiu Sea during the closure period from a certain ancient book.

Originally, Meng Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Now, compared with Kou Chong's experience, the problem naturally emerges.

First, Kou Chong searched for half a year without any results. Facing the vast mountain of books, he gradually began to waver and retreat. However, Yan Zhuang found the answer he wanted after half a year of hard work.

And with the secret method he found, he successfully sneaked out of the Xingxiu Sea and came to the Five Domains many years earlier than other people in Xingxiu Palace.

Is Yan Zhuang too lucky, Kou Chong too unlucky, or is the answer Yan Zhuang is looking for easier to find?

Of course, Meng Zhou had doubts at the time. The process of Yan Zhuang thinking that he was lucky to find the secret method was not actually due to luck, but someone deliberately "fed" it to Yan Zhuang.

It just made him think that he found it himself.

Later, after confirming that the person behind Yan Zhuang was Lian Ziling, Meng Zhou automatically regarded the person behind the action as Lian Ziling.

Originally, Meng Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong here.

But now, after staying in this hall with Kou Chong for half a year, the problem has emerged.

According to the timely appearance of "Zheng Bo" several times, he warned and stopped Kou Chong who had exceeded the management regulations.

And the "reasonable explanation" before he gave effective suggestions out of goodwill was because of the analysis of the behavior trajectories of many monks with similar mentality as Kou Chong in the library hall in the past.

"Zheng Bo's" behavior and his remarks to Kou Chong actually illustrate the fact that he, as a manager, managed this library hall very well.

Don't look at his old eyes and dim eyes, seemingly doing nothing, but in fact, all the monks who entered this library hall, their every move is under his control.

This is his home court.

Then, if Lian Ziling had secretly made a move back then, it allowed Yan Zhuang to "just happen" to find the secret method that could solve his predicament at the right time.

Can such a thing be hidden from "Zheng Bo"?

In other words, if there was no tacit approval from "Zheng Bo", could the secret method appear in Yan Zhuang's hands so "naturally"?

Second, in Yan Zhuang's memory, there was basically no such person as "Zheng Bo".

Of course, this does not mean that "Zheng Bo" does not exist, but "Zheng Bo", who is very low-key and only active in the library hall, is almost a rumor in the Xingxiu Palace. In addition, Yan Zhuang spends most of his time and energy in his own little world. He doesn't care about people like "Zheng Bo" at all.

This is also the important reason why Meng Zhou felt that "Zheng Bo" was strange at the beginning, but couldn't find the specific reason.

Because in Yan Zhuang's memory, he had never met "Zheng Bo".

Yan Zhuang didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and Meng Zhou certainly didn't think there was anything wrong here.

Until the horizontal comparison with Kou Chong's experience, the problem automatically surfaced.

Although "Zheng Bo" is indeed low-key, it is basically impossible to see him elsewhere. Even in this library hall, which belongs to his "base camp", it is also very difficult to meet him face to face.

But even so, in just half a year, Kou Chong and "Zheng Bo" have met four or five times.

If we add the number of times Kou Chong had met "Zheng Bo" in the past, the number would be even higher.

But in Yan Zhuang's memory, he had never met "Zheng Bo" once.

This is too strange.

If it is said that "Zheng Bo" appeared in front of Kou Chong, it was because he violated the rules of the hall, and "Zheng Bo" came out to warn and stop him.

Meng Zhou searched Yan Zhuang's memory more carefully, and he suddenly found that in the past, Yan Zhuang was eager to find the secret method to sneak out of Xingxiu Sea, and he was inevitably anxious in the process of searching.

He also did such illegal behavior as taking out books and looking at them next to the bookshelf, or even just getting a pile of books to read on the spot!

So, why didn't "Zheng Bo", who was so conscientious, show up at that time?

Is it that "enforcing the law" on his own territory is selective and picks people to serve dishes?

After exposing these contradictions openly, Meng Zhou can easily draw two conclusions.

First.

"This 'Zheng Bo' is deliberately avoiding any direct contact with Yan Zhuang."

Second.

"This 'Zheng Bo' has special ideas about Kou Chong."

Finally, after analysis, Meng Zhou felt that these two conclusions may exist at the same time.

Why would "Zheng Bo" deliberately avoid any direct contact with Yan Zhuang?

Meng Zhou asked himself in his heart.

Naturally, Meng Zhou thought of the "handler" behind Yan Zhuang, Lian Ziling.

Soon, Meng Zhou had an idea in his mind.

"Maybe what 'Zheng Bo' avoided was not Yan Zhuang, but Lian Ziling behind Yan Zhuang!"

A long time ago, Meng Zhou had a guess in his heart, just like Lian Ziling was controlling Yan Zhuang behind the scenes, there might be another existence behind Lian Ziling.

At that time, he also made the strongest possible prediction of the strength of this existence.

It is even possible that the other party is a hidden Yuanying.

He really didn't expect that after entering Xingxiu Sea, he didn't take the initiative to find the answer, and the "answer" jumped out on its own initiative.

It's still such a "bad old man".

Although "Zheng Bo" is also at the peak of the ninth level of Jindan, his air of decay and old age cannot be concealed no matter what.

This is really an "old man" who is about to die.

This is really far from the big boss he imagined behind the scenes.

Even his guess was shaken by this.

However, when he thought of the "surrogate baby plan" that Yan Zhuang spent most of his life and finally lost his life on, he suddenly figured it out.

For "Zheng Bo", isn't this the most perfect solution? !

The peak of the ninth level of Jindan is the end point he can reach in this life.

By himself, he can never reach the next level!

As early as hundreds of years ago, he had already started to go downhill.

And he may be the most knowledgeable person in the entire Xingxiu Palace, who has the deepest and most thorough understanding of various "evil ways".

He has the time, the energy, the reasons to do so, and the huge "treasure" behind him...

There is no doubt that even if I were in his situation and had the same convenience as him, I would definitely make the same choice!

After a thorough analysis, Meng Zhou was 100% sure that "Zheng Bo" was the one who hid the most in the Yanzhuang incident.

He couldn't even find a reason why it wasn't him.

As for the fact that his real state and strength were far different from what he had originally expected, Meng Zhou felt that he was too "romantic" at the time.

"If there really is a being that is powerful enough to do whatever it wants, and its strength in all aspects is far superior to others, why would it need to hide behind and do things secretly? Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to stand out openly?"

"What big boss behind the scenes? If it is really exposed, there are actually reasons why they have to do so."

"As long as you avoid their strongest front, you can find their equally weak nature."

"'Hidden behind the scenes' is their most powerful shield.

As long as you remove this shield and expose it to the sun, it is just a paper tiger, not even qualified to bluff people."

Meng Zhou himself did not expect that there would be such an unexpected gain.

As for what special ideas he had for Kou Chong, Meng Zhou did not know for the time being.

But he was basically sure that this was nothing more than "one plan failed, another plan".

Because of his intervention, his plan for Yanzhuang failed completely.

In this case, it is natural to find another way out.

And this time, perhaps Kou Chong happened to hit his gun, or perhaps the failure of the Yanzhuang plan also gave him a huge blow. He was getting closer and closer to the death line and became more and more impatient. His limited life did not allow him to use one or two hundred years to plan.

This made his operation much more direct this time, and he personally went down to be the "grandfather".

There was some impatient meaning.

Of course, there was another important reason for him to act like this.

Because of the existence of Lian Ziling behind Yanzhuang, all his operations on Yanzhuang had to be cautious, and even pretended to be Lian Ziling.

And Kou Chong was very "clean" behind him, and there was no such person as Lian Ziling.

Compared with Yanzhuang, Kou Chong was much easier to fool.

This should be the reason why he dared to go down directly.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou suddenly felt a little funny.

"Lian Ziling is not behind Kou Chong, but I am behind him!"

"What is this? Fate has given 'Zheng Bo' the most appropriate retribution in a way that is most similar to black humor?!"

Meng Zhou has figured out a lot of things in his mind.

In fact, not only in the Kou Chong incident, fate played a malicious joke on "Zheng Bo".

In the Yanzhuang incident, even if Meng Zhou did not exist, he actually had a great chance of falling.

"Lian Ziling is not as easy to control as you think!" (End of this chapter)
