It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

Weird things don't just appear in the Great Chu Kingdom.

Including many countries around the Great Chu Kingdom, there are also situations where weird things are happening.

This is the fact. Even if several countries are fighting each other, when facing two things, they are unanimous in dealing with the outside world.

One is those quack monsters who disturb the world, such as those who indulge in sex.

The second is weird.

Weirdness doesn't matter which country you are in, as long as weirdness appears, all living people will be threatened.

If it's a simple and direct kind of weirdness, that's okay, just lead people to get rid of it.

But I am afraid of the kind of weirdness that is particularly difficult to eradicate and very weird.

If you encounter this kind of weirdness, it will cause horrific casualties.

Therefore, in addition to studying how to make each other's life difficult, several countries are surprisingly consistent in dealing with weirdness.

At some points, they even share intelligence, like the current nightmare.

Dai Viet has done more research on nightmares because they have encountered them more often.

The number of times you encounter this thing also depends on luck.

At this time, the folder in Zhou An's hand contained information about the nightmare, and it was also sent by Dai Viet.

"If this is the case, then this method of Dai Viet is indeed feasible, but it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Can Maplewoods State afford it?" Zhou An asked.

The methods written in the brochure are actually methods in which long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

The weirdness of nightmares is similar to that of the Guild. They are both unkillable existences. As long as someone dreams, there must be nightmares.

And they have one thing in common, that is, after the time is up, they will naturally disappear, waiting for the next appearance.

But there are also differences between nightmares and covens.

In addition to the different objects that occur, another point is that the gathering of conspiracies is fixed and will not become stronger over time.

But the nightmare is different. It is not fixed and will become stronger as time goes by.

If one nightmare cannot be handled well, it will become stronger. If a bunch of nightmares cannot be handled well, then when the time is up, what awaits is a powerful weirdness.

Even if it is a trivial thing, it is impossible to cover everything, let alone weird.

Therefore, what Maplewood Town's Guisi is most worried about right now is the nightmare that will finally appear and reach the point of being uncontrollable.

After all, for now, there have been some casualties, and the nightmares are starting to get stronger.

The letter given by Dai Viet Kingdom is an extremely tough method.

Their suggestion was to gather all the people, regardless of state, prefecture or county.

Then people were sent to strictly guard them, and as long as there were people who had nightmares, they would be eliminated immediately.

"At first glance, it seems to make sense, but if it is actually implemented, it will be extremely difficult. I doubt how Dai Viet implemented it." Zhou Andao said.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this method, but if you really look carefully, you will find that there are really many flaws.

First of all, we need to consider the problems of the people.

This method is equivalent to bringing all the people to one place, so how should we explain it to the people?

Secondly, important factors such as a country's production and economy are all closely related to its people.

If all the people are gathered together, then various places will become a kind of dead city in name only.

There will be no more people on the streets, and there will be no excitement at all.

When all these situations are added together, a little carelessness will cause major consequences, no less than an attack from a nightmare.

Hou Sizhou heard what Zhou An said and understood what Zhou An meant.

Although he is not in a position to manage the people, he has sat in this position for a long time, so he is naturally aware of the consequences.

"Dai Viet Kingdom only provides such a method. They have not tried it yet. Your Majesty gave us this to see if we can think of a better method." Hou Sizhou explained.

Zhou Andao: "It turns out that this is just an ideal method, and even Dai Viet cannot implement it."

"This should be the last resort." Hou Sizhou explained: "I looked at this envelope for three days and three nights, and also thought about it for three days and three nights. Don't tell me, I really thought about it. A feasible method, but it requires Mr. Zhou’s help.”

"Tell me what you need my help with," Zhou An said.

Hou Sizhou organized his words and then said: "Master Zhou, the current situation is much more serious than we thought. I have roughly calculated that if we follow the current progress, it will take nearly a month to , the nightmare will be powerful to an extremely terrifying level."

"At that time, if we really can't deal with it, what awaits us will be horrific casualties."

Zhou An nodded. Although he did not speak, he did not comment on Hou Sizhou's statement.

It is only the early stages of the outbreak, and casualties have already begun to occur. It is difficult to imagine what horrific things will happen later.

"So, I think the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain." Hou Sizhou took a deep breath: "The way Dai Viet came together gave me an inspiration. Why don't we put the nightmare away before it completely breaks out?" Gather together and destroy them first."

"As long as the nightmare is destroyed once, its strength will plummet, and then it will be easy to deal with it in the future."

Zhou An touched his chin: "This idea is indeed possible, but how can we gather all the nightmares? Is it possible to gather the people and manage them together?"

If we could gather all the nightmares, it would indeed be feasible in the early stages of the outbreak.

Even if they get together, it is just a nightmare in the early stages of the outbreak. Although it is difficult to solve, it is better than it is in the later stages.

But how to gather them together is a big problem.

If we still use the idea provided by Dai Viet, it would be better to just use the previous control method.

Hou Sizhou also knew what Zhou An was thinking, and he had considered these things.

If there was no other way, he wouldn't ask anyone to invite Zhou An over.

Hou Sizhou clapped his hands: "Please come in."

As Hou Sizhou finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Zhou An turned around and saw an old man who was nearly seventy years old.

The old man was wearing linen clothes. He was thin and lean, but in good spirits.

As soon as they entered, the old man bent down and saluted the two of them with a very respectful attitude.

"I've met Mr. Hou, I've met Mr. Zhou, old man Chen Zhongshan is so polite."

Zhou An didn't know who this old man was, so he looked in the direction of Hou Sizhou, meaning to explain.

Hou Sizhou didn't do any ink, and explained: "Mr. Chen belongs to a profession in the Zamen called line master. This profession is based on the line master."

Mortician?

Zhou An knows this business.

Now, after reading the books given by the Emperor of Chu, Zhou An has made great progress in this area.

His current knowledge reserve is already extremely deep.

The so-called embalmer is actually a profession derived from dealing with the dead.

When some people die, their remains will be sorted out when they are buried.

The person responsible for sorting out the remains is the undertaker.

They serve the deceased so that they can pass away in a peaceful state.

It has become a business.

As for the lineman, it is a branch of the undertaker's profession, and it also belongs to the miscellaneous sect.

In this world, some people die peacefully, and some die due to accidents.

Some deceased people may even have missing arms and legs after death, and the profession of line technician came into being.

They sewed up the body of the deceased so that the deceased could be buried in a more dignified manner.

These are what the connection engineer should do.

But Zhou An didn't understand why dealing with nightmares had anything to do with the connector.

Chen Zhongshan seemed to see Zhou An's doubts and explained with a smile: "Master Zhou doesn't know something. The old man has entered the innate state. Now he can sew not only the dead, but also some strange things."

"For example?" Zhou An asked.

Chen Zhongshan replied: "Like a dream."

Zhou An raised his eyebrows: "I understand."

How to connect the nightmares in dreams may depend on this connector.

"What does the specific operation look like?" Zhou An asked.

Hou Sizhou said: "Actually, the operation is very simple. The soul line is a trick of the innate realm connector. It can connect the consciousness of others and will not cause harm to the living."

"The connection master will plant the soul thread into the body of every common people. Once the common people have a dream, and it is related to the nightmare, the soul thread will be pulled into the connection master's body. In this way, we can directly solve the problem. ”

Chen Zhongshan said from the side: "The old man will gradually absorb all the nightmares, and after absorbing the nightmares, the people will still be thought by the nightmares that they are still dreaming, and the nightmares will not happen again. So Lord Hou's solution is actually very good. perfect."

Hearing this, Zhou An touched his chin, then stretched out two fingers and said, "It's a good idea, but I have two questions."

"First, since the connection master has this ability, why not use it earlier."

"Second, as time goes by, Mr. Chen will receive more and more nightmares in his body. Can he bear it?"

These two issues are what Zhou An is currently considering.

He didn't understand why the soul thread could guide nightmares, and he never asked, because this was the unique skill of the cable master.

So Zhou An doesn't care about the principle, as long as it can be done.

It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, it is a good cat if it catches mice.

But Zhou An has considered some of the issues here.

He thought about what Hou Sizhou said and felt that this method was indeed extremely reliable. It could not only solve a wide range of problems, but also prevent people from having nightmare-related dreams.

After all, all the nightmares have been absorbed by Chen Zhongshan. According to the rules of nightmares, there will not be a second nightmare as long as the absorbed nightmare is not destroyed.

But here comes the problem. The two types that Zhou An thought of are the most obvious ones.

Hou Sizhou said: "Master Zhou, actually this matter seems simple, but without this letter from Dai Viet Kingdom, it would be really hard to think that we just have preconceived notions."

Zhou An understood the meaning of these words, and that was indeed the case.

Sometimes when reading novels, even some famous classics, where some difficult things appear and solutions are given, Zhou An will exclaim that it is so simple.

In fact, this is the reason for the preconception.

When you look at something from God's perspective, it seems extremely simple.

"As for the second thing Mr. Zhou said...Mr. Chen will use the unique method of the connector to solve the nightmare problem." Hou Sizhou said.

Chen Zhongshan explained: "Line divisions deal with the dead, and we are the ones closest to death."

"The ultimate goal of the nightmare is to make people die. The connector can use secret methods to put himself on the edge of life and death, causing misunderstandings for the nightmare's instinct."

"To live, to make the nightmares think that we can still be attacked, to die, to make the nightmares think that we have already died in their hands and not to launch powerful attacks. After all, it is weird to act based on instinct, and it is actually easy to deceive."

"It's just that by that time, the old man can't move."

After listening to all the explanations, Zhou An understood.

If it can be implemented smoothly, this method is indeed effective.

"What do you need me to do?" Zhou An asked.

Now that the matter has been solved and Hou Sizhou has called him over, he definitely needs his help.

Hou Sizhou thought for a while and said: "Mr. Zhou, actually what I'm most worried about is that the nightmares will be stronger than we imagined when they gather together. Although at this stage, even if they gather together, they won't be ridiculously strong. , but you have to be prepared.”

Zhou An understood what this meant.

What Hou Sizhou is worried about is that if an accident occurs, a master will be needed to take charge.

After all, it is weird, so it must be comprehensive and foolproof.

And Zhou An happens to be able to help in this regard.

After all, Zhou An's combat power, in Hou Sizhou's opinion, can run sideways in the entire Maplewood State.

Zhou An nodded and said: "When you need to deal with it, just call me."

After Zhou An's reply, Hou Sizhou finally felt relieved.

"In that case, Mr. Chen, let's make preparations first. It will take about ten days to connect all the soul lines to the people." Hou Sizhou breathed a sigh of relief.

The Linker's soul thread is aimed at the dead and will not have much impact on the living. This is what Hou Sizhou is relieved about.

If it would affect the people, Hou Sizhou would not dare to use it like this.

Chen Zhongshan agreed and said that he would start working on it immediately.

Zhou An was listening and frowned: "Master Hou, do you need ten days?"

Nightmares will gradually spread as time goes by. Within ten days, I am afraid that they have already been in a period of high incidence, which will affect subsequent treatment.

And the impact is immeasurable.

Hou Sizhou said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about this. Maplewood Prefecture is too big, with so many prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction. We still have to travel in between. Even at the speed of people in the industry, ten days is already a long time." It’s the limit.”

Fenglin Prefecture has so many prefectures under its jurisdiction, and there are more counties under the prefecture. If you really count it carefully, ten days is actually a short time.

Zhou An touched his chin and said, "Is it just a matter of rushing?"

Hou Sizhou nodded: "That's true. If we really want to connect, it won't take much time."

"Well, it would be great if there was a master in the psychic realm. If he could fly, he could compress the time to about three days."

At the state level, those in the Xiantian realm can already be considered masters.

As for the psychic realm further up, you have to find it at the Beijing level.

Although there is a capital, there is actually not only one capital. It is just because the capital is where the emperor of the Chu Kingdom lives, and there are more masters there.

If you really want to count it out, the capital city is more like the commander-in-chief of all Beijing-level regions.

Other Beijing-level areas are called so-and-so Jing, while the capital city is called Jingcheng.

Zhou An fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said: "If it only takes three days to fly, I think I can help."

As soon as these words came out, not only Hou Sizhou, but also Chen Zhongshan was stunned.

Hou Sizhou couldn't believe his ears and asked, "Master Zhou, is it possible that you have crossed two levels and reached the psychic realm?"

When he said this, Hou Sizhou felt that his voice was trembling.

According to their intelligence, Zhou An was able to advance despite the adversity, but he was actually at the level of a first-rate master.

Even if you reach the Xiantian realm, you won't be able to fly.

So Hou Sizhou believed that this was simply impossible.

If you can really improve so quickly, everyone should stop playing. If you play, it will be in vain.

Zhou An looked at Hou Sizhou strangely: "Who said you can't fly until you reach the psychic realm."

Hou Sizhou understood what he meant.

He is also a veteran and has been involved in the world for a long time. Naturally, he also knows some techniques that can make people fly.

Hou Sizhou smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Master Zhou, how do you do it? After practicing so many methods, you can still improve so quickly?"

He was really curious.

If an ordinary person practices one kind of skill, he will spend a lifetime of energy and devote his whole life to cultivating his own profession.

Human energy is limited, and every profession is enough for people to invest a lifetime in research and improvement.

Even if you are a genius, you can only minor in another type at most.

If you cultivate one more level, then unfortunately, even if you are an extremely talented person, you will be lost in the crowd.

But Zhou An was different. He had never seen someone with so many abilities, but his strength did not decrease at all. On the contrary, the more abilities he had, the stronger his strength became.

So in shock, Hou Sizhou asked subconsciously.

Zhou An glanced at Hou Sizhou and said nothing.

Can someone who cheats on his own compete with a genius?

The more skills you have, the stronger the improvement.

And all he has to pay is his liver.

For a person who has a person on his liver, his liver is insignificant.

Hou Sizhou saw Zhou An's eyes and knew that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked. He cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I was presumptuous just now."

No one has any secrets these days.

It is actually very unethical behavior to rashly inquire about other people's secrets.

If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you may even draw a knife against them.

Zhou An waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it. Then he looked at Chen Zhongshan and said, "Then let me take care of Mr. Chen."

Since it is something that threatens your liver proficiency, then deal with it as soon as possible.

Zhou An is a decisive person, he never makes mistakes.

Only by solving unstable factors can the liver progress bar be more stable.

When Zhou An thought about it, his behavior was different from others.

If you offend me, I will kill you so that I can continue to survive.

Safety is the essence of Gou Dao.

Chen Zhongshan was also shocked.

He has also heard of Zhou An's name.

After all, these days, news spreads rapidly in the world.

Mr. Zhou's ability to fight against adversity has long been widely spread in the world.

If it weren't for Zhou An's identity and the Great Chu Kingdom standing behind him, countless innate masters would have come here to compete with Zhou An.

If you can win by luck, it will be widely spread in the world.

But Zhou An can also fly, which no one has ever known.

"Master Zhou, could it be that he is a monster?" Chen Zhongshan thought in his mind.

Of course Zhou An didn't know what Chen Zhongshan was thinking, and said, "Let's set off now."

For a man, execution is the key.

Zhou An likes to do what he needs to do now.

Chen Zhongshan nodded and said: "Maplewood Prefecture has been connected, we can move towards the surrounding areas."

Zhou An stood up: "Then let's set off. By the way, do you know the specific map?"

Since we are going to start towards the surrounding area, a map is necessary.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I have memorized all those maps." Chen Zhongshan said.

"good."

The matter was urgent, so Zhou An stopped staying and led Hei Yu outside.

Several streets around Zhenguisi were empty of people.

After all, this is an extremely special institution, and it is normal that there are no ordinary people.

At this time, many members of the Zhengui Division had followed behind and walked out together.

Hou Sizhou stood at the front, looked at Zhou An, and said, "Master Zhou, you've got to work."

"Master Hou, you don't have to be polite. These matters are also related to me. If they are resolved early, I will be able to avoid a lot of things." Zhou An waved his hand.

After saying this, he looked at Chen Zhongshan and said, "Mr. Chen, are you ready?"

Chen Zhongshan nodded, indicating that he was ready.

Zhou An stopped staying, turned to Black Jade and said, "Black Jade, return to the shadow."

This time it was to speed up the process, so it would be less troublesome if possible.

Although Black Jade usually doesn't like to return to his shadow, after seeing Zhou An's serious face, he knew that there was no need to discuss it now, so he obediently turned into a black mist and entered Zhou An's shadow.

After doing all this, Zhou An came to Chen Zhongshan, grabbed Chen Zhongshan's shoulders and said.

"Mr. Chen, pay attention."

"Lord Zhou, you can fly as long as you are a man in the industry, so you don't have to worry too much." Chen Zhongshan replied.

Zhou An no longer hesitated, circulated the Qi in his body, used the Flying Dragon Movement Technique, and soared directly into the sky.

As graceful as a startled dragon, graceful as a wandering dragon.

At this moment, Zhou An was like a flying dragon shadow, quickly disappearing into the vast sky.

When the members of the Zhensi Division present saw this scene, they were all so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

They all came out to watch the excitement.

But I never expected that the excitement at this time would be filled with nothing but shock.

The voices of discussion arose one after another.

"Master Zhou, has he reached the psychic realm?"

"It's impossible. How can anyone improve so quickly?"

"But you can fly. Don't you know what being able to fly means?"

"I don't know about the others, but Mr. Zhou's skills are beyond the reach of all the geniuses in the world."

"This is Mr. Zhou who has risen from humble beginnings. Do you think anyone can touch the porcelain? Those geniuses are not worthy of carrying Mr. Zhou's shoes."

The buzz is intensifying.

Hou Sizhou could not conceal his shock.

He is an expert in the Xiantian realm and can better understand this wave of operations.

Zhou An's flight is not as simple as flying.

Regardless of speed or power, this ability cannot be regarded as an ability that can only fly, but more like... a body skill!

"Okay, everyone goes to do their own thing. In three days, there will be a major move. I won't allow mistakes." Hou Sizhou's face turned cold.

Many members of the Suppression Division spoke when they saw their boss, but they did not dare to say more, and left outside to do their own things.

Hou Sizhou looked at it for a while, and then returned to the Zhengui Division.

He needs to continue to make arrangements to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and he deserves Zhou An's help.

——

Three days is neither long nor short.

For ordinary people, three days is enough to do too many things.

But for Zhou An, three days was just a blink of an eye.

In the past three days, he took Chen Zhongshan around the entire Maple Forest State.

It is true as Hou Sizhou said, the time to connect is not long, it is more time to rush.

Moreover, the connection master's methods are quite clever, and the common people can't feel it. Zhou An also has an eye-opening experience.

Of course, I also met a lot of acquaintances on this trip.

Zhou An worked his way up from Anding County.

Anding County belongs to Tingyun Prefecture, and Tingyun Prefecture belongs to Fenglin Prefecture.

We passed by each other this time, so naturally we had to exchange pleasantries.

For Anding County and Tingyun Mansion, it can be said that Zhou An left from them, which can be said to be an honor.

Especially the Fu Ling and Si Fu felt it was worth bragging about.

The famous master of swords and pots in the world, the object of admiration by the doctors of the Chu Kingdom, has risen from us, so you can tell us whether we are good at it, right?

Anyway, now, when talking about Zhou An, Anding County and Tingyun Mansion cannot be avoided.

After all, these days, many people still like to dig into the past of strong people.

The only thing that makes Zhou An feel regretful is that Blacksmith Zhao is no longer in Anding County.

It is said that he has achieved a breakthrough, so there is no point in experiencing life anymore.

As for where exactly he went, no one knows.

Regarding Blacksmith Zhao, Zhou An actually had a lot of emotions.

This younger brother of the chief craftsman supervisor in the capital helped him a lot.

Blacksmith Zhao tried his best to persuade him to go to the original casting competition, which indeed brought him a lot of benefits.

On this trip, Zhou An wanted to catch up with Blacksmith Zhao for a little while, but unfortunately, Blacksmith Zhao was not here, so Zhou An didn't stay any longer.

After visiting all the places, it did take three days.

Maplewood State is also really big.

Fortunately, Zhou An could fly and took Chen Zhongshan with him along the way, and he was able to complete this matter as quickly as possible.

When he fell from the sky and landed at the gate of Zhenguisi, Hou Sizhou was already waiting.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou on your successful return!" Hou Sizhou said with cupped hands.

Zhou An nodded and exchanged polite words with Hou Sizhou.

Next to him, Chen Zhongshan looked a little pale at the moment.

Even if you are a connector, using this ability will cause consumption.

He hasn't started it yet, but the consumption at this moment is not small.

"Did it succeed?" Hou Sizhou asked.

Chen Zhongshan nodded palely: "The entire Maplewood Prefecture, including its prefectures and counties, have been connected. There is only one last step left. I need three days to lure all their nightmares here."

The connection is only the first step, the second step is to introduce the nightmare, and introduce all the nightmares into Chen Zhongshan's dream. During this period, Chen Zhongshan will enter a state of dissociation between life and death, making the nightmare think that he is alive but dead again.

After hearing this, Hou Sizhou said: "Then let's stay in Zhenguisi. It would be good to have someone to take care of us."

With that said, he brought Zhou An and Chen Zhongshan into Zhenguisi, and even created a special room.

After Zhou An came in, the shadow behind him twisted for a while, and Black Jade came out of it, looking at Zhou An with confused eyes, as if asking Zhou An, can he come out now.

In the past three days, Black Jade was exhausted.

She wants to play with Zhou An every day, but she also knows in her heart that Zhou An is busy with her own things.

Apart from being well-behaved, he is also greedy.

"Come out." Zhou An said.

With Zhou An's permission, Black Jade emerged from the shadows, holding Zhou An's hand again, with a long-lost happiness on his face.

"Master Zhou, we've been in trouble for the past three days." Hou Sizhou said.

In three days, the nightmare needs to be lured to the bait.

If Zhou An agreed, he would naturally not refuse.

Chen Zhongshan found a seat, sat down cross-legged, and said seriously: "Two adults, next, I will look like dead on the outside, but I will be alive on the inside. After three days, you can enter my dream, but Nightmares are extremely powerful, so a lot of people are needed.”

There is no doubt that the nightmare after fusion is powerful. Even if it is handled one step ahead of time, it must be handled with caution.

Hou Sizhou nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will find the right manpower in the next few days, and then we will all fall into a dream."

By lighting the dream incense, you can collectively enter other people's dreams.

If you were an ordinary person, you might not be able to bear it. After all, the spirit of ordinary people is limited.

But people in the industry are different.

In particular, Chen Zhongshan is still a professional in the innate realm and can accommodate a large number of people into dreams.

After Chen Zhongshan said this, he stopped talking and closed his eyes.

As this action was performed, Chen Zhongshan's vitality gradually weakened and finally dissipated.

This is on the edge of life and death. It looks like death, but in fact it is still alive.

Hou Sizhou said: "Mr. Zhou, you can rest in Zhenguisi. I will ask someone to make a good room for you. I have to go down now and arrange suitable personnel. Then we will enter the nightmare together. "

After saying that, Hou Sizhou hurriedly prepared to go down to do things.

But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Zhou An.

Hou Sizhou was puzzled and looked at Zhou An doubtfully.

Zhou An then said: "Master Hou, find a private and safe place. I have something to discuss with you."

Zhou An was very serious when he said this.

Hou Sizhou didn't know what Zhou An was going to say, but he trusted Zhou An very much.

After all, we have experienced sexual indulgence together, so the trust will certainly not be lost.

Now that Zhou An had said it, Hou Sizhou didn't say anything more and took Zhou An into his place of work.

Of course, before leaving, Hou Sizhou called several masters who suppressed Guisi to be responsible for protecting Chen Zhongshan's safety.

After entering the room and closing the door, Hou Sizhou turned around.

"Master Zhou, my place is absolutely private and safe. I don't know what Master Zhou has to say."

This is his room. If there is nothing serious, no one will come in.

As for outsiders, it is even less possible.

If it was so easy for outsiders to join the Zhensi Si, then it wouldn't be called the Zhensi Si.

Zhou An found a seat and sat down, and said: "Master Hou, I would like to ask, is Chen Zhongshan reliable?"

Hou Sizhou was stunned. (End of chapter)
