stand back, let me come

Chapter 1441: New Successor (Part 1441) [Seeking monthly pass]

When Jiang Sheng arrived, Shen Tang was staring at something in a daze.

It was a scroll with a white background and gold edges.

Could it be that she painted it in her spare time?

"My Lord, there were some unusual celestial phenomena just now..."

Before Jiang Sheng finished speaking, Shen Tang waved his hand to indicate that he knew about this matter, and put the scroll aside: "I know, it's okay."

Although talking to Jiang Sheng, his eyes were still fixed on the scroll.

This detail aroused Jiang Sheng's curiosity: "Is this the Master's new work?"

Shen Tang shook his head, frowning slightly, like the arc of water waves quietly rising on the surface of a lake: "This thing just appeared in my hand out of thin air... I'm still figuring out what it is."

Jiang Sheng asked cautiously, "How can you touch something you don't know?"

Things of unknown origin should be kept far away. Who knows if this is the enemy's conspiracy? Jiang Sheng wanted to block Shen Tang behind him to separate her from this weird thing. Shen Tang smiled and said, "Xian Deng is here just in time. Let's open it together?"

Jiang Sheng: "... open it again?"

Shen Tang was not worried because her intuition told her that it was okay, but this reason obviously could not convince Jiang Sheng. Just at this time, Gu Chi and Jimo Qiu came over one after another. Shen Tang's joking eyes fell on Gu Chi's face and asked with a smile: "Have you finished digesting the food?"

Gu Chi said: "Oranges are not enough to satisfy your hunger."

As he spoke, Gu Chi's attention was also attracted by the platinum scroll on the table. He had some vague guesses in his mind, but he still had to ask.

"What is this?"

Shen Tang said, "I want to know too. I was just about to open it, but I'm worried that it may have hidden dangers because of its unknown origin."

Gu Chi suggested: "Then let me open it on behalf of my lord?"

Naturally, Shen Tang would not refuse.

Gu Chi picked up the scroll and felt it was cool and delicate, like a piece of jade, but its texture and luster were clearly precious fabric. He observed it calmly and found that the back of the scroll was not pure white, but had floating patterns of similar colors. The floating patterns included mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, the sun, the moon, and the stars. He carefully unwrapped it, and as the scroll unfolded, he found a patch of golden characters on the paper.

It doesn't look dazzling, and there is even a faint glow lingering around.

“These words are floating on the paper?”

Gu Chi's fingers passed through the golden light with a look of surprise.

Jiang Sheng came closer to identify it carefully: "It does look like words, but I don't remember where there are words like this..."

It is not the words as I imagined, but more like pieces of a puzzle.

He then asked other people if they had seen it.

Gu Chi didn't recognize him either, and Shen Tang seemed to be thinking about something.

She said: "I seem to have some impression, but I can't remember it."

If she had an impression of him, it meant that Shen Tang had come into contact with him before. She searched her mind for a long time and was sure that this familiarity did not come from the past ten years, but from the more distant past. Thinking of this, she placed her hope on Jimo Qiu: "Does the high priest know him?"

The high priest showed a hint of nostalgia on his face.

"Yes, I know. This kind of writing is only circulated among the clan."

"The Gongxi clan?"

The high priest's lips curved slightly: "It's not this."

It is the ethnic group that has long disappeared in the long river of history.

Jiang Sheng paid some attention to the two of them, and keenly noticed that Jimo Qiu's conversation was strange. In addition to the Gongxi clan, did Jimo Qiu have other "clan"? However, the most important thing at the moment was to know what was written on it.

Jimo Qiu is willing to help.

As soon as I opened my mouth, I found my throat was dry and I couldn't make a sound.

He tried twice and could only shake his head to apologize. The young man looked depressed: "I can't say, it seems that the secret is not yet mature. The above content does not affect Your Highness, it doesn't matter whether you know it or not."

Being controlled by "Him", we are not even qualified to speak freely.

I can't even reveal such simple information to His Highness.

Jiang Sheng changed the question: "Looking at the order and length of these words, they don't look like poems or words. Are they a list?"

Jimo Qiu nodded and said that this information could be revealed.

He just couldn't reveal who was on the list.

This painting is also strange.

Don't be fooled by the arm-thinness. It shouldn't be very long when fully unfolded. Who would have thought that this thing could go around the tent, and Gu Chi still had a large section in his hand that he hadn't unrolled. The scroll wasn't filled with names. The part with text was only 15 feet long, and the rest was completely blank. I wonder if the list was that long, or if there was some left that he didn't have time to fill in?

Jiang Sheng saw with his sharp eyes that a ball of golden mist was quietly emerging at the end.

The golden mist changed from light to thick, stretching and distorting into new content.

Shen Tang: "Is it a list that is updated in real time?"

Gu Chi asked: "Who is the new one?"

Jimo Qiu carefully identified him: "Stranger, I don't know him."

but--

He added.

"I do know who wrote this person down."

"Who?"

"My brother."

Gu Chi and the other two noticed that there were many repeated "characters" in these unfamiliar words. The fonts of these repeated "characters" were smaller than those next to them, and the layout was denser and lower. After discovering this detail, Gu Chi began to look for similarities. With a strange look on his face, he discovered that the frequency of appearance of certain patterns was very high. In addition, there was another little secret! Gu Chi looked at his master who was leaning forward slightly.

When the master approached the scroll, some of the text shifted and quietly hid in the opposite direction of the master.

These words——

Are there any reactions?

The corners of Gu Chi's mouth twitched slightly.

He had an 80% grasp of the meanings of certain words.

It must be [Shen Tang] or [Shen Youli]!

A few moments after the new name appeared, Gu Chi found that the list had been updated again. The first few words of the "Notes" under the new name were very familiar. Gu Chi secretly rubbed his chin.

According to the in-depth analysis of the existing intelligence, the so-called "List of Gods" has two types: living people on the list and dead people on the list. This list is updated in real time, which means that the current ones are all dead people, and the living people are still alive. Isn't another meaning of writing the dead on the list just to kill people and put them on the list? The master is right next to her, so who can kill people in her name and send them to the list?

That is to say, it is the incarnation of the Lord sent into the outside world.

False and non-existent.

The one who has the chance to kill and escort Gong Xichou should be Zixu who is running a force in the central region. In order to confirm his guess, Gu Chi quietly pulled down Shen Tang's sleeve. He leaned over and whispered to the king and minister: "Did Zixu join the battle in front of the battlefield?"

Shen Tang looked strange: "Yeah."

Gu Chi asked again: "Murder?"

Shen Tang said: "I just killed a guard..."

She paused suspiciously, her eyes turned, and her sight fell on the two new names that appeared on the scroll. Zixu's business route in the central region is different from that of Kangguo, and its style is closer to that of Wuguo. To put it simply, no infrastructure is needed, just do it!

Attack the target at the fastest speed.

Those who can be gathered are gathered, and those who cannot be gathered are all killed.

The speed of siege was extremely rapid.

Even if they took a city with great effort, took a short break and led their troops to leave, they didn't care if the captured territory was taken back by the enemy. Many forces couldn't guess what this group of people were up to, and what they were up to.

Money, women, territory...

You should draw one, right?

In the end, they don't want anything.

They didn't plunder money or women, and if they lost their territory, they just lost it. They seemed to enjoy the process of attacking cities, smashing walls and killing people. Apart from the defenders, the highest mortality rate was among the wealthy families in each city. In some cases, they even used their family tree to kill people.

Headless bodies were hung at the doorsteps of every household, and heads were thrown randomly on the ground.

Some naive children even picked it up and kicked it like a ball.

This ruthless style of work has caused everyone in the central region to feel insecure.

From the outside, this young force seems too crazy.

Like a mad dog, biting people everywhere, even to death!

His style was so aggressive that even his ally, the Qu State, had complaints about it.

This move doesn't look like conquering the world, but rather like someone who is looking for death. He made countless enemies in a blink of an eye. How can this be a long-term solution? The Central Allied Forces divided their forces to suppress the rebellion, but the speed of pursuit could not catch up with Zixu's speed of demolishing the house.

Shen Tang blinked: "...Is this a kill list?"

Gu Chi felt that it was about the same.

Apart from the lucky ones who might be alive and on the list in the future, the list that is five feet long and updated in real time is a kill list, isn't it? Gu Chi pulled Shen Tang's sleeve maliciously, motioning her to get closer to a few of the names: "Try it."

Shen Tang watched in silence as the golden name drifted away.

Although it is said to be far away, it is actually not that far.

These names seemed to be restricted in their range of activities, unable to be crossed. Shen Tang became curious and deliberately chased the name with her finger, watching the name running around in the invisible frame. After teasing for a while, she came up with a guess: "I killed him?"

The golden name quieted down.

Shen Tang understood: "Oh my goodness, the battle list."

Gu Chi: "..."

Well, it seems that this can be said.

Shen Tang held up his chin and said, "I just don't know which enemy it is."

She was also in a playful mood, and deliberately ran her finger over the long list. Most of these names chose to avoid or not respond, only a few hesitated for a while and moved closer to the tip of Shen Tang's finger. Shen Tang widened his almond eyes, leaned forward slightly, and his nose almost touched the name: "Good boy, does this reaction mean that the owner of the name has a good relationship with me?"

She became more and more curious about the identity of the owner of the name.

"Who killed you? Come on, tell me!" Just based on their unique reactions, they deserve her special treatment.

These words naturally cannot speak.

Shen Tang could only ask Jimo Qiu for help.

Ask indirectly: "Do I know this person?"

Jimo Qiu thought about their past: "Yeah, I know him."

"Male or female?"

"male."

"How old are you?"

"He died at the age of forty."

"Scholar or warrior?"

"Scribe."

Shen Tang asked again: "Where are you from?"

The place names started to be reported one by one. Jimo Qiu would respond patiently at first, but after guessing a few places, he was forced to remain silent. Shen Tang almost laughed out of anger: "You authority dog, you are banned from speaking every day, you really don't have any shame, right?"

Aren't these things she will know sooner or later?

What difference does it make whether you know it earlier or later?

Shen Tang cursed twice, and the name near his finger floated up, shivering in a very funny way. Seeing that Shen Tang didn't understand, it shivered again. Gu Chi's face was complicated: "Is it bowing?"

This speculation is quite abstract.

What is more abstract is that people are indeed bowing.

"It can't be..."

Gu Chi lip-synced.

Shen Tang crossed his arms and looked at the scroll: "It's possible."

The world was indeed developing in a direction that she could not understand, and Shen Tang was quite troubled. Based on the principle of not wasting money internally when spending money externally, Shen Tang cursed the heavens and felt much better: "Don't worry about it for now, just roll it up and put it away."

Just a list.

When Gu Chi was about to reach out to touch it, a breeze floated around the scroll, as if blowing away some restrictions.

Then, the four of them saw an unforgettable scene.

A bunch of names floating up and down suddenly stopped, and the next second they reacted and became a mess. The golden name that was bowing just now slid smoothly, pulling a stroke from an unknown word on the way, and rushed in one direction with a fierce momentum. In addition to it, another group of names came to start a fight.

The name that was attacked didn't seem to have any "connection" with words. Just as it was overwhelmed by this group of strange names, other names nearby also came over to join the melee, and all those who intended to come to the rescue were stopped.

It hit from the southwest corner of the scroll to the northeast corner.

Incomplete strokes are flying all over the scroll.

There are also some names that are obviously hiding their heads from the sudden disaster.

The whole picture was in chaos.

Shen Tang: "...Isn't this more exciting than fighting a war?"

Gu Chi grumbled: "How come this is not considered a war?"

Shen Tang didn't know the details of the recommendation, but she guessed that many of them were her enemies. She felt happy when she thought of these enemies tearing each other's hair over a small scroll. She said, "When two armies fight, there are tens of millions of people. How can there be only a few?"

She still has to work hard to make it more lively.

All those who can be recommended will be recommended.

Shen Tang noticed that most of these names took the initiative to join the melee, but there were also a few who looked gentle and weak, struggling to shuttle through the "battlefield", fearing that they would be dismantled and used as weapons by some other name. They gathered in the corner of the scroll, looking pitiful.

Among these names, there is one that is the most eye-catching.

Shen Tang discovered that it also had the strokes that were dropped by someone unknown, and it looked like it was standing on the outermost edge of this group of names, with an imposing posture.

The name is small, but full of security.

Shen Tang was just about to get closer to take a closer look.

A strange name popped up in the center of the melee.

It didn't jump very high, only about the height of a finger, but what made Shen Tang recognize its identity was its next move. It used the strokes of some unlucky person's calligraphy as a bow and arrow, and rushed straight into Shen Tang's eyes. Shen Tang chose to close his eyes.

The stroke twitched on my eyelids and bounced back onto the scroll.

Shen Tang asked faintly: "...Is her last name Yuan?"

No, she didn't kill this man.

Jimo Qiu: "..."

There are more things that are offensive to Shen Tang.

A few more crawled out of the melee, and a few names rode on the strokes that looked like the base of a rocking instrument, fearlessly charging towards her. Shen Tang stared at them for a while, and asked in her soul: "What we see are names, but what they tore off from each other are not limbs, right?"

If so, the scene is indeed too bloody.

She stared at the name that was still trying to draw the bow, and said to it in front of it: "Find someone to call Shengmei over."

Yang Ying's archery skills are also good.

Gu Chi said: "Master, are you sure it is Shengmei?"

"If there is no best one, then choose the relatively suitable one."

Shen Tang did not consider Zhao Wei or Lu Ji. Lu Ji was not good at archery and rarely used weapons other than heavy hammers. Zhao Wei was not taken into consideration because of Zhao Feng and Qin Li.
