Chapter 223 - Fighting Against the Fake and Getting the Real (1/2)

“Big brother, can you stop shouting!” Hao Ning rubbed his ears. Zhou Yuan’s shouting was too loud that Hao Ning’s ears got itchy. He teased. “you are too anxious. Isn’t he still not taking action?”

“But this is the video half an hour ago! How do you know that he is not taking action now?” Zhou Yuan was so scared while saying. He was going to pack up things and leave the hotel. “No, I have to leave hurriedly. Maybe he has already arrived nearby. — No, he has already been in this hotel – no, maybe he has already been behind the door – no! Maybe he has disguised himself as someone. Right! Maybe he has been among us!”

While saying, Zhou Yuan scared himself. In the end, he was going to be mad. With his hands keeping shaking, he circled in the room, which stunned the other three people.

“…” Hao Ning helplessly turned to Xiao Hong. “Xiao Hong, what should we do to cure the god that got crazy?”

“There is no cure, and what we can do is only to kill him with a stick.” Xiao Hong laughed, and then reminded Zhou Yuan. “Zhou Yuan, stop scaring yourself. The glasses of that person are magical, but it seems that they cannot accurately find where you are. If I were you, I would quickly protect myself with Virtualised reality and then consider it.”

“Virtualised reality?” Hearing it, Zhou Yuan suddenly understood and patted his head. He said, “yeah, I forgot that I have this skill!” While saying, he slapped his fingers. The surrounding environment trembled once and then turned into normal. It is the Virtualised reality.

“This is the weakest Sun Wukong I have ever seen!” Hao Ning snickered and said to Liu Shuai. “No wonder the golden cudgel is willing to stay in my eyebrows rather than looking for him.”

“The golden cudgel?” When Zhou Yuan heard the words, he happily raised his brows and thought that if there was such a treasure to protect him, he would not be afraid at all. He quickly seized Hao Ning by the collar and shouted, “Hao Ning, give the golden cudgel back to me. I want to use it to protect myself!”

“Big brother! Calm down!” Being shaken by Zhou Yuan so violently, Hao Ning felt he was going to suffer a cerebral concussion. He said angrily, “the golden cudgel came here itself. Sun Wukong said very clearly that when you find your heart, it will go back naturally. You see that you are not yourself now, let alone the heart. Even your spirit has gone! Are you the Fighting Buddha? The Great Sage Equaling Heaven who made the uproar in the Heaven? Even Niu and Ma in the nether world are better than you!”

“I have never made the uproar in the Heavenly Palace myself. It’s him, not me…” Zhou Yuan sat down on the floor sadly, complaining. “So, what do you think that I should do? When you heard someone else want to slice you last night, you were also scared for a whole night!”

“It makes sense….” Hao Ning thought for a moment and sighed. That is a horse of different color. Sun Wukong was also not born to be the Fighting Buddha. The words himself had just said were over the line. hat Zhou Yuan said also made sense. Anyone who got in the same situation would also feel nervous. Hao Ning thought about it and said, “nothing is easier than fault-finding. Zhou Yuan is in danger now. What should I do?”

“I have an idea.” Xiao Hong understood why the two people quarreled in this way. When he thought about it for a while, he suddenly said, “maybe you can do it once and for all.”

“You say it.” Zhou Yuan took Xiao Hong’s hands as if he had found a savior. “Talk about it, how can it be done once and for all?”

“Don’t hurry. I think Yi Pingzhi should have some abilities and powers. We can’t fight against his strength on our own.” Xiao Hong said with a deep voice. “But seeing that although he had the chance yesterday, he didn’t take action in the stone-gambling field. I think he should be the same that he won’t kill people in places where people are crowded. If we go to places where no one is there, he wouldn’t have the chance to kill you…”

“Bang!” Zhou Yuan fell on the ground, pointing to Xiao Hong. “Do you think that I have lived long enough? Why do you ask me to go to a place where there is no one in order to be killed by him? You and me, who is the crazy man now?”

“Don’t worry.” Xiao Hong waved his hands and continued to explain. “Let him kill the fake you. You should let the four fakers outside the Virtualized reality leave H city. Let them drive tonight on a relatively remote road with no people. And in the same time, we will hide in the Virtualized reality, following far behind.”

“Ah, I understand.” Hao Ning’s eyes lit up. He thinks that Xiao Hong, as the follower of Bodhisattva, did enjoy the wisdom. “In this way, the ones that Yi Pingzhi found would be the fake people, and then we can just let him kill those fake people.”

“What’s the point?” Zhou Yuan said with a sad face and shook his head. “We are still alive!”

“But Yi Pingzhi will think that we are dead!” Liu Shuai also understood, and he nodded. “In this way, he will not care about us. Not only you, but also Hao Ning will be safe. You see, if Yi Pingzhi thinks that he has killed us by himself, he would not care about us anymore. He does not believe in others, but doesn’t he believe himself?”

“Yes, but we still have to keep a low profile.” Xiao Hong nodded. “I will ask Jienan not to contact us recently. Of course, they are public figures. Yi Pingzhi seems to be cautious, and there is no reason to deal with them. As a result, we will safe after this period.”

“Great!” Zhou Yuan finally understood Xiao Hong’s plan, and he suddenly smiled cheerfully. “What else do you have to say? Let’s go right now!”

“How can we start now?” Hao Ning said, tittering, “how can we leave without letting you change your pants?”

“Why should I change my pants?” Zhou Yuan spoke. “Are you out of your mind? It’s your trousers that have been torn off by yourself. There is nothing lost on my pants. Why should I change!”

Xiao Hong looked at him and couldn’t help but laugh. The three stood up and left a distance from Zhou Yuan. “Your pants did lose nothing, but there is something liquid on it!”

“… D**n.” Zhou Yuan looked down. Just now he was sitting on the ground and didn’t pay attention to that. Something liquid should have oozed out of the crotch of his pants. Zhou Yuan was embarrassed, and he was still playing a tough guy. “Just now my life hung in the balance, and it is good enough that I did not pass out. What is wrong with the wet pants? What is the matter! Have you never wetted your pants since your childhood? —” After finishing the words, he said to Hao Ning embarrassingly, “could you please lend me the trousers that I bought for you?”

A few hours later.

It was already one o’clock in the morning. There was a lonely car running on the remote road through the woods. It was reasonable to say that when driving on such a small road with no pedestrian, no vehicle and no speed camera, most drivers would drive the car very fast. But this car was strange. It ran very slowly, and the people in the car seemed to be dilly-dallying and all looking at a mobile phone. Even the driver was looking at the mobile phone from time to time. It seemed that they were waiting to see something.

“Well, will this strategy work?” Zhou Yuan stared at the screen and his eyes were almost blurry, and he was depressed. “There seems to be no intention for the Yi Pingzhi to take action!”

“Don’t hurry.” Liu Shuai yawned and waved his hands and said, “we came out for just 10 minutes. This video will be delayed for half an hour! That is to say, the scene you are seeing is about the Yi Pingzhi half an hour ago. At that time, you have not driven the four fake us to start. How could Yi Pingzhi know?”

“It sounds awkward.” Hao Ning recalled Liu Shuai’s words and smiled. “Driving four fake us. Although this is a fact, it is also very interesting. Thinking about that after a while, I will watch the Yi Pingzhi fight with the four fake us. I am a little excited.”

“I will say it first.” hearing Hao Ning’s words, Zhou Yuan quickly reminded everyone. “No matter how Yi Pingzhi fight, he is fighting against the four fake us that I have made. You can’t turn against or toss!”

“How could it be?” Liu Shuai shook his head. “We all know that the ones he will fight against are fake, and why will we fall out?”

“This may not be the case.” Xiao Hong shook his head. “Zhou Yuan’s talent is strange. The four fake us that Yi Pingzhi will see should be the us in his mind. So how the fake us will act, in fact, is not something we or Zhou Yuan can control. Maybe Liu Shuai, you will cry and kneel on the ground to slap yourself –” Seeing that Liu Shuai was about to be angry, Xiao Hong quickly waved his hands. “I mean the fake us imagined in Yi Pingzhi’s heart.”

“Yeah.” Zhou Yuan continued. He had used a similar spell on his parents, but it was over the top later. It did be as what Xiao Hong said, not under his control. “Xiao Hong is right. So, whether how many disgusting things we will do in Yi Pingzhi’s eyes — even if he is very abnormal and use our flesh to take a hot pot, you should not feel any discomfort. Anyway, it is enough when we get through tonight.”

“I see.” Hao Ning had been accustomed and had known how terrible people’s imagination would be during he saved Zhou Yuan’s parents. But Liu Shuai frowned and said, “so why should we still look at it? Sleep directly and wait until tomorrow. All right?”

“We cannot do in this way.” Zhou Yuan shook his head. “We have to confirm whether Yi Pingzhi really thinks that we are dead.”

“And, Yi Pingzhi thinks that we are experts.” Xiao Hong continued to analyze, “and he will certainly use his most powerful ability to fight with us, and then we will know the bottom line he has, and we may find some methods.”

“Shh—” Zhou Yuan said nervously, “Yi Pingzhi seems to have an action!”

It was seen in the screen that after the arrangement of everyone, the glasses of Yi Pingzhi suddenly flashed. He said secretly, “there is no way for you to escape from the H city? It is not so easy!”

He took out a small door-like sculpture and put it on the ground. The sculpture turned two circles on the ground and immediately became a real door. Yi Pingzhi opened the door. Outside the door was just the place two or three kilometers ahead of the road.

Hao Ning wondered and looked at the watch. “Zhou Yuan, it seems to be strange. According to the time we just counted, the four fake us should start a few minutes later. Why did Yi Pingzhi know it so early? Is there any problem happening on the fake ones that you are driving?”

“How do I know?” Zhou Yuan responded with a bad mood. Of course, moment god did not like others to question his own spells. “There should not be any problem. According to the time of Yi Pingzhi in the video, we should come out of the hotel about 8 minutes later. And then it should take about 8 minutes for us to drive to the place where Yi Pingzhi arrived. As for why he has known it so early, I have no idea.”

“His glasses.” Xiao Hong frowned and thought. “His glasses must be special.”

Sure enough, Yi Pingzhi looked at the watch and said to himself, “there are still 8 minutes for them to leave the hotel, and then it should take a total of over ten minutes to get here. It is enough for me to prepare.”

After saying, he took out dozens of silver beans from his pocket and scattered them in the air, shouting. “Go!”

The silver beans blasted in the air, like popcorn, and then they turned into dozens of people whose heads were difficult to see clearly. They kneeled on the ground and said in a same voice, “what instructions does master have?”

“Form the Nine Curved Yellow River Array!”

“Yes!” After saying this, all the bean men disappeared. After a short time, the road suddenly became distorted. Then it flashed once and became straight again.

“Nine Curved Yellow River Array?” Hao Ning and Zhou Yuan screamed, “how could he acquire this!”

“How could he use the Scattering Beans as Soldiers!” Liu Shuai and Xiao Hong cried, “how could he acquire this!”

The two pairs of people looked at each other and had their own thoughts. Liu Shuai broke the silence and said. “Scattering Beans as Soldiers is already a very powerful spell. Xiao Hong, can you use it?”

“I can use it, but I can only spread beans as normal soldiers,” Xiao Hong scratched the head and stunned. “But look at the means of this Yi Pingzhi. These soldiers are not ordinary soldiers! Have you ever seen soldiers who can form the Nine Curved Yellow River Array of the Sanxiao Goddesses — Immortal Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao?”

“Yeah.” Hao Ning nodded. “The Nine Curved Yellow River Array is the array of the Sanxiao Godnesses to trap the twelve golden Immortals in the world of Gods. It is in this array that the thousand-year powers of the twelve golden Immortals were eliminated. However powerful Yi Pingzhi is, how can the soldiers he spread out also have this spell?”

“Stop guessing!” Zhou Yuan made a gesture to ask them to keep silent. Everyone quickly stopped speaking and continued to watch the phone.

They only heard that Yi Pingzhi said to me. “The essence of thearchy is good, but there are many restrictions. I can’t use it myself but can only rely on the power of others. If there is any new means in the Heaven Master, why should I use so many small soldiers? I can form the array by myself!”

Liu Shuai nodded and whispered. “It turns out that these small men may be equivalent to the Implements. Only these Implements can use the essence of thearchy.”

“This is also very powerful.” Hao Ning whispered. “I don’t know who made these small men. It is already very powerful for dozens of small men to be able to make such an array.”

At this time, Yi Pingzhi took out the door-like thing again and threw it on the ground. It turned into a big door and Yi Pingzhi went in. When he came out, he held a table out himself. After the table was placed in the middle of the road, he went back into the door. After he went back and forth many times, he took out a teapot, a teacup, a tea stove, and an incense burner and so on.

And then he took out a mat and put it on the ground. Then he took out an instrument Zheng and put it on the table. After he finished, ten minutes passed.

“What is Yi Pingzhi doing?” Hao Ning felt a little strange. Facing an approaching war, who would have nothing to do but do these things?

“Huh” After Yi Pingzhi placed these things, he sat on the mat and had a try. “Hey, I’m so tired to prepare for the ostentatious show. But when they come here, these will scare them. It is called waiting at my ease for the fatigued.”

“Puff.” Zhou Yuan laughed for that he understood it. Yi Pingzhi did not have the same fate of moment god, but he got the same “disease” of the moment god. Zhou Yuan smiled and explained it to everyone. “No wonder he came so early, it turned out that he wanted to get everything ready. These things he moved to there are useless. But the more useless they are, the more people who come here will feel that he has been ready and confident. As for people who are so addicted to the ostentatious scene, the first person is the fake Manjusri, and the second is me while this third should be him.”

“It should be this.” Hao Ning also understood, and he said with a smile. “Thanks to your Spiritual Flying Bugs, we can know there are so many embarrassing preparations before the glamorous scene.”

“Slap!” Yi Pingzhi suddenly hit his own neck. While scratching, he frowned and scolded. “How come there are so many mosquitoes!”

“Ha ha ha ha,” Liu Shuai laughed in the car and pointed at the screen and said. “It is so late and you stayed outside for so long. How come that there are no mosquitoes?”

“Hey…” Yi Pingzhi kept scratching his itchy places and said to himself. “It seems that I can’t use the sandalwood but have to use the mosquito coil incenses. But they should not spell out what it is.”

He opened the incense burner, and then took out a mosquito coil from his pocket. He burnt it and put it in the incense burner and then put on the lid. Suddenly a faint blue smoke floated out.

In the scene, there were a bamboo mat, a long table, an instrument Zheng, a person, a cup of tea, a burner of incense, and the moonlight. Playing the Zheng under such a situation should be very elegant. But in the eyes of Hao Ning and others who knew the cause and effect of the whole thing, it was ridiculous. How could someone do affectations in such a way? In the middle of the night, being a gentle literato while using the mosquito-repellent incense. If you wanted to do the affectations, why did you not play the Zheng quickly? This Yi Pingzhi just put his fingers on the Zheng but didn’t play it.

“They came here!” Yi Pingzhi whispered and quickly took out a tape recorder from the side. When the button was pressed, the music Mountain Torrent rang. Yi Pingzhi began pretending to play the Zheng.

Hao Ning and others looked at the scene and got stunned. There were some people who liked affectations, but no one of them had ever seen such a person who did affectations in such a way. Yi Pingzhi could not play the Zheng himself, but used the recorder to cheat! They had seen the singers do lip-synch on the stage, and the actors pretend to say in the films. But they had never seen such a fake Zheng playing!

Sure enough, here came a car. And it was just the car of Xiao Hong. But in fact, the car was made by Zhou Yuan through his talent, with the four fake people sitting in it.

With a “splash”, the music Mountain Torrent just happened to be here. Yi Pingzhi reached out his fingers pretending to play the Zheng, and then this fake car tumbled up and down under the affection of the Nine Curved Yellow River Array. Suddenly the whole road was changed from straight to distorted. The sand flew wildly in the air, and there were the sounds of crying and shouting of demons from time to time. Suddenly, countless flying swords appeared in the sky, and hit and cut the car back and forth. After a while, the whole car had nothing left, but the countless car debris flew down from the sky. But there was still a yellow big ball flying in the sky. Around the big ball flew several fire dragons. Inside the big ball there were Hao Ning and others. It seemed that the Zhou Yuan in the yellow ball was using some Implements and trying hard to protect themselves. It was obvious that these fire dragons and the yellow big ball were all displayed by Zhou Yuan through the using of Implements. But it was too far, and the mobile phone was too small that they couldn’t see clearly.

“Zhou Yuan?” Liu Shuai curiously said, “when were you able to summon a dragon with such a powerful spell?”

“Crap, how can I do it!” Zhou Yuan smiled and corrected. “I did say that these are the us in Yi Pingzhi’s own imagination. If I didn’t think it wrong, he must be a bit afraid of us. So we turned to be so strong in his imaginations. In the video, he is now fighting against the strong enemy in his imagination!”

“In this way, Yi Pingzhi is really powerful!” Hao Ning sighed. “His imagination is so rich. Even Zhou Yuan himself can hardly catch up with the Zhou Yuan in his imagination!”

“Although Yi Pingzhi is powerful,” Xiao Hong nodded, “Zhou Yuan’s spell of Virtualized reality looks better. Although these people are fake, the power of the Nine Curved Yellow River Array of the Yi Pingzhi should not be small. Zhou Yuan’s spell still has effects in this array. And it’s clear that who is better?”

Seeing Xiao Hong boasting him, Zhou Yuan smiled proudly and continued to watch the video.

“Sure enough.” Yi Pingzhi said with applause. “As I expected, Soul Hunting Sect and Godslayer Sect have already been integrated by that Nezha secretly. The apricot bamboo hat plus Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire. The Nezha is really generous to his followers!”

“It turned out that he is suspecting that we are the members of Godslayer Sect!” Zhou Yuan nodded. “So, he will imagine these things in his subconscious.”

“Who are you?” The fake Zhou Yuan held the apricot bamboo hat in the car like a god, and the fake Hao Ning was busy with taking things out from his pockets. While looking at the fake Liu Shuai, they found that he had kneeled on the ground, keeping trembling and taking kowtow.” Forgive me. The Great God forgive me! We are surely the members of Godslayer Sect, but we have not done anything bad! I beg you to let me off. And from now on, the younger brother will serve you as a slave. You can ask me to do anything you want!”

“Go away!” The fake Xiao Hong in the mobile phone saw that the fake Liu Shuai was so unbearable. And then he reached out a hand out of anger. Two flying knives flew out from the hand, and within only one face-to-face, the fake Liu Shuai turned into the gray ash, drifting with the wind.
