Lord God: Times have changed

Chapter 504 The Strategy of Fear
into the night.

The tavern was brightly lit, and twenty or thirty guests were eating and drinking, chatting with each other.

At this moment, a drunk suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Damn dragon demon!"

In this kind of tavern, there are often drunks who go crazy after getting drunk. People who often come here are somewhat used to it.

But with the loud yell of the drunk man, the noisy tavern suddenly fell silent.

Twenty or thirty guests, together with the inn's shopkeeper and buddy, all turned their heads and stared at the drunk man, with a look of incomparable fear in their eyes.

The drunk man was at the same table with two other companions. Hearing the words, his whole body was shaken, he was sober, he quickly stretched out his hand to grab the drunk man, and said: "Shut up, don't talk, do you want to die? How dare you shout that The name of a great king?"

"Name? Dragon demon? Are you afraid of him?"

The drunken man had a wild and proud look on his face, and he shouted: "I'm not afraid! What will he do? It's just a monster... Let me tell you, tomorrow... tomorrow! Tomorrow is his death day, wait until he dies." Once the demon Master Zhao arrives, and punish him to death without a place to bury him, we people might still be able to eat a mouthful of dragon meat... ah!"

Halfway through the rampant words, the drunk suddenly screamed, fell to the ground, and struggled frantically.

This time, the guests in the tavern were so scared that they all moved away. Even the two companions beside the drunk man jumped two or three meters away, not daring to approach at all.

The drunk man didn't know how terrible pain he endured, and his screams were extremely shrill, but there was no trace of blood on the surface of his body, and he could only vaguely see streaks of unknown things running around in his body.

In a moment, the drunk man fell limp to the ground and flattened out.

That's right, it was laid flat on the ground like a piece of paper.

The paper mentioned here is not a metaphor, but after this guy has suffered that pain, it seems that there is only an outer layer of skin left.

The people around only saw the drunk man struggling in pain, and suddenly his whole body collapsed, their faces white as paper in fright, and after he died completely, everyone stood there blankly for a long time before reacting, and circled around Passed the drunk and left the tavern.

It also includes the tavern keeper and the buddy.

They didn't dare to stay there any longer.

Under the moonlight, on top of the pitch-black mountains, there are undulating mountains and towering peaks. A long dragon is entrenched on the entire mountain range, and its huge body forms a winding wall of copper and iron.

The dragon's head is high, wrapping around the highest peak of the entire mountain range, looking up at the sky.

This huge dragon was formed entirely of boulders. It was transformed by Zhou Ming who used the scriptures to directly cover the entire mountain range after completing the fusion work of Tathagata God's Palm.

On the day the giant dragon appeared, Zhou Ming turned into a magic dragon and appeared in the sky, announcing that the mountain range had a radius of [-] li, and all of them belonged to his territory.

Then order all the monsters and practitioners within this range to come to pay their respects.

In the end, many monsters came, but the practitioners only came to some evil cultivators.

Zhou Ming naturally didn't care. After compiling all the monsters and evil cultivators, he began to investigate the information here.

As a result of this investigation, he discovered that the mountain range he now occupies is really a good place.

In Journey to the West, the famous Shituoling is here!
Knowing this, Zhou Ming was stunned at the time, and deeply suspected that what he was entering at this moment was a Journey to the West, or a derivative story world of Journey to the West.

According to the original description of Journey to the West, the three demons in Shituoling, that is, the green-haired lion, the white-tusked elephant, and the golden-winged roc, had secretly descended to the lower world for seven days before the arrival of Tang Monk, his mentor, and his disciples.

One day in the sky and one year in the earth, that is, seven years.

It took 14 years for Tang Monk to learn the scriptures, and Shituoling is actually the middle and late stage of the Westward Journey route.

Perhaps Tang Seng came here when he was studying Buddhist scriptures for the tenth or 11th year, seven years back, that is to say, Tang Seng has already started to learn Buddhist scriptures and has been walking for a year or two.

But that was based on the arrival of the three Shituoling monsters at Shituoling. When Zhou Ming arrived, there were obviously no big monsters here, but there were quite a few ordinary little monsters.

In other words, he was ahead of the Three Demons of Shitou Ridge.

As for when the three monsters will come, it is not certain.

Maybe, never will come.

After all, you already have yourself here.

Therefore, whether Tang Seng's journey of learning Buddhist scriptures has begun is still not certain.

What's more, just by the name Shituoling, it is not certain that this is a Journey to the West.

Zhou Ming then asked these little monsters if they had heard the rumors about Tang Seng.

The result is no.

In this way, there is a contradiction. You must know that Tang Priest has just started to learn Buddhist scriptures, and the news of immortality after eating Tang Monk's meat has already spread all over the Westbound Road.

These little monsters have never heard of Tang Seng, which is really strange.

But this time, the main line and the advanced main line, and even the challenge tasks, have nothing to do with Tang Seng's learning. Even if this is a world of Journey to the West, it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter.

Zhou Ming also had no intention of being involved in that vortex, and asked these monsters and evil cultivators to pay attention to the news in this regard, and then began to implement his plan.

The previous faction missions mainly depended on reputation.

After choosing the camp now, the task assigned to the demon camp mainly depends on people's fear of him.

Fear is simple.

Based on his previous actions, anyone who saw it must be afraid of his existence.

But the requirements of 'sincere fear' and 'not daring to give birth to a heart of resistance' mentioned in the task are really a bit elusive.

Human fear and bravery, as well as the corresponding resistance, are very elusive.

Walking alone at night, when three or five hooligans surrounded him, all of them holding knives and trying to rob them, they were naturally afraid, and at the same time, because the difference in force was too great, they didn't dare to resist.

But if ten people are walking together at night, all of them holding guns, and encountering three or five hooligans besieging and robbing them, of course there is no fear, not to mention resistance, and they may even be very excited.

Zhou Ming fought against the golden body of Tathagata in the posture of a dragon before, showing extremely powerful strength.

If it was an ordinary person, of course he would have no resistance to him.

But if a group of people get together.

Or some powerful demon slayers came to back them up.

What's more, heavenly soldiers and generals descended to support them.

If that was the case, even if he was just a mortal, he might become more courageous and develop a heart of resistance against Zhou Ming.

In addition, there is another situation, that is, the situation where the oppressed is so ruthless that you can't survive.

Anyone who studies history knows that people will find their own way out, but as long as they can survive, the common people can always endure it.

But if they are not even given a chance to survive, the result will be uprisings.

This point is the same in this kind of world of gods and demons.

If you are in a hurry, who cares if you are a god or a demon?

To be honest, when thinking of this, Zhou Ming felt that he might have thought a little too deeply, maybe the standard of the main god was a little shallower than what he thought, and he didn't need to think so deeply.

But to do this kind of task without obvious standards, it is better to think deeply than not to think well.

The key is that the main god did not give the current amount of fear points obtained this time.

Unless the task is completed, Zhou Ming doesn't know whether the fear value he has obtained is one point or nine thousand points.

For the above two problems, Zhou Ming found a solution.

The first thing is to let the people live a good life, have a family, a mouth, a son and a daughter. Such a person has a lot of entanglements behind him, so it is naturally impossible to give birth to a heart of resistance.

Then there is the feeling of fear.

Killing is certain, the key is how to kill.

Zhou Ming directly imitated Voldemort.

Voldemort, the villain in Harry Potter, didn't do any great things, but he did bury his terrifying image in people's hearts, making people fear him so much that they didn't even dare to mention his name. 'That person' comes as a title.

And Voldemort can do this, firstly because he did have a cruel rule, and secondly because he cast a spell on his name, as long as someone mentions his name, he can be aware of it.

So Zhou Ming also used the skills he mastered and the great karma technique to create a very simple name induction technique, which can directly sense the person who said the word 'Dragon Demon'.

It is set that as long as someone can say the word "Dragon Demon", they will immediately feel a chill in their hearts, creating a terrifying feeling as if they are being locked in by a murderous intent.

In this way, no one dared to say these two words.

Only dare to call him 'that king'.

Not even daring to say his name, the fear in his heart can be imagined.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ming found some bullies and gangsters who were usually evil, and cast illusions from a distance, letting them curse the dragon demon wildly in the public, and then bestowed on them an extremely cruel way of death.

For example, the drunk who died in the tavern just now was actually a dog raised by a family in the city. Relying on the fact that he had learned a strange technique, he helped that family do some dirty things.

A villain like this deserves to die.

But ordinary people don't know it, they only saw a stranger yelling at the dragon demon, and then died miserably.

Coupled with the spread of rumors, rumors appeared around Shituoling that those who dared to curse the dragon demon or disrespected them would be cursed by the dragon demon and die miserably.

And this is just a prelude.

When those demon slayers arrive, people have the strength to support them, and the fear in their hearts will naturally dissipate.

But Zhou Ming will let them know that the damned are still going to die, not to mention demon slayers, even if the heavenly soldiers and generals stand behind them, it is useless.

It's a pity, just because the previous action was too big, the demon slayers around Shituoling were frightened, and no one dared to accept the order to get rid of the dragon demon.

Those in power in the surrounding cities can only send people to farther places and invite demon slayers from other places to come to Shituoling to slay demons.

So much so that Zhou Ming managed to manage Shituoling almost, and finally heard the news that a demon slayer was going to deal with him, the dragon demon.

"Master Zhao? There will be a demon slayer named Zhao on Shituoling?"

Zhou Ming felt a little strange.

According to Tang Seng's learning path, Shituoling belongs to the middle and late period.

The entire route for learning scriptures is one hundred and eight thousand miles away, so Shituo Ridge should be [-] miles away from Datang. It is really strange that there is a demon slayer named Zhao in this kind of place.

Could it be that the exorcist from Datang came here?
That guy, I'm afraid he really has some skills.

After all, this world is full of monsters. Even ordinary practitioners who want to come to Shituoling from Tang Dynasty have to go through many twists and turns, let alone a demon slayer who makes a living by slaying demons.

While thinking about it, Zhou Ming discovered a new line of cause and effect, connecting with himself.

Following this causal line, Zhou Ming directly found the demon slayer called Master Zhao.

This person is wearing Taoist robes and a lotus crown on his head. His complexion is sallow, with a weather-beaten feeling. No matter his appearance or clothes, he is completely different from the customs around Shituoling.

Did it really come from Datang?
Zhou Ming's eyes were flooded, and he looked at the causal line around this person. He didn't think it was a bit funny.

Because he is not from the Tang Dynasty, but from Zhu Ziguo in front of Shituoling.

His ancestor was a native of the Tang Dynasty, and a powerful cultivator. He traveled in Zhu Ziguo for a period of time, leaving behind his blood and some cultivation techniques.

Since then, it has been passed on for two or three generations. This master Zhao was born, his blood is back to his ancestors, he looks like a Tang Dynasty person, and his aptitude is very good, he has practiced the ancestral skills to a good level.

Possessing strength, he naturally embarked on the road of demon slayer.

But the business of exorcising demons is not so easy, so Master Zhao took advantage of his appearance to forge the identity of a practitioner from the Tang Dynasty.

As the saying goes, foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures. Some people are too familiar with the things around them, but because of their familiarity, they subconsciously belittle them.

But for strangers from outside, they hold a novel and fresh attitude.

Relying on his forged identity, Master Zhao has successfully become famous among demon slayers. Even though his strength is not top in Zhu Ziguo, he can get the reputation and treatment of a top demon slayer.

The reason why he accepted the order from Dragon Demon was precisely because his own strength was not top-notch.

There is a gap between Zhu Ziguo and Shituoling. The real top powerhouse can also see Zhou Ming's actions against the golden body of Tathagata in Zhu Ziguo.

On the contrary, Master Zhao is not strong enough to see clearly.

It is precisely because of this that I do not understand the actual situation.

In addition, he has been in Zhu Ziguo for a long time, and the novelty of Zhu Ziguo's dignitaries has disappeared, and they have also figured out his strength. Recently, business has not been very good.

He himself is also thinking about whether to leave Zhu Ziguo, go to other countries, and open up new battlefields.

As a result, he ran into the dragon demon.

The people from Shituoling traveled all the way to Zhu Ziguo to ask someone to subdue the devil, this was a great opportunity for him.

It's much better to be invited over than to run over by yourself.
