The Fourth Financial Crisis

Obviously, Mingzhu has some non-mainstream views.

So Yang Lu quickly asked for advice humbly: "I have noticed this problem for a long time. I wonder if you have any advice?"

Mingzhu saw Yang Lu agreeing with his statement, and the light in his eyes became brighter: "Before the demon outside the world appeared, there were big problems in the history of the entire Kyushu cultivation world. For example, after the second Heavenly Dao crisis ended, there were Many senior experts in the world of cultivation wanted to restore the structure of the world of cultivation to the pastoral and pastoral medieval era. However, all their attempts failed. In the medieval era, people and monsters crossed rivers to rule, and large sects and small sects were at the same time. It seems that it is impossible to exist stably in a social state where cultivators all over the world use spirit stones as currency, sect management is completely laissez-faire, cultivators only need to kill people and seize treasures to practice, and social governance is completely absent. The Demon Shang Beyond the Heavens At that time, because the entire society was in a state of serious crisis, and the population was rapidly decreasing due to killings, social governance could have been more chaotic. However, after the demon outside the world disappeared, the cultivators suddenly discovered that the ancient methods that had been used by their ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years were The wisdom suddenly stopped working, and the crisis of social governance still continued. In the end, everyone could only rely on the three-standard currency system left by Yellen to manage the situation. The internal management of various sects also continued to be chaotic for hundreds of years. Countless classical sects Because internal conflicts were wiped out, many new sects such as the Haiya system appeared in various places. You must know that in the hundreds of thousands of years of medieval times, we had never heard of the existence of any cultivation plutocrats, let alone any cultivation economic system. !”

Yang Lu had heard Li Qingyang analyze these things, so he followed Mingzhu's words and continued: "Yes, that's why President Li Qingyang called the medieval era false history!"

Mingzhu also nodded happily, seeming very happy that Yang Lu and Li Qingyang could understand his thoughts: "But after the appearance of the demon from outside the world, the historical process of the entire world of cultivation has almost become much normal. In the past few thousand years, cultivation in Kyushu has become much more normal. The changes in the world are probably even greater than those in the past hundreds of thousands of years."

"So you think there must be some connection between the two?"

Mingzhu sighed and said: "I never thought before that the history of the cultivation world might be false. I just felt it was very wrong, but you really gave me a great inspiration... If the Kyushu cultivators actually lost In the crisis war of heaven that year, the group of demons from outside the world who defeated the cultivators used some kind of magic method to tamper with everyone's memories in order to permanently enslave the cultivators in Kyushu. So all the problems that were difficult to explain before are now solved. It all makes sense!”

Not only were Wang Ziwei and Fu Zhibin completely dumbfounded, but Yang Lu was also stunned.

According to Mingzhu, all the residents of Kyushu in the world today are actually residents who have been enslaved by the demons from outside the world using brainwashing techniques. In order to prevent everyone from realizing that they are enslaved, they are taught that "we have defeated the demons from outside the world". False memories, even the memories before the Demon from Beyond appeared, were tampered with by the other party.

Mingzhu seemed to notice everyone's surprise, but he continued to talk to himself: "Our world is the back garden of demons from outside the world. The demons from outside the world look at us just like we look at the monsters kept in captivity in nature reserves. , and the so-called ascended immortals such as Lu Yang, Ma Tianyi, and Xiao Huang represent the evil forces from outside the world who come to Kyushu to harvest spiritual stones!"

"Isn't that right? Since the demon from outside is so powerful, wouldn't it be enough to just steal the spirit stone?"

"How can the efficiency of hard grabbing be as high as cutting leeks?"

Ancestor Mingzhu's mouth twitched slightly, obviously thinking of some unpleasant memories: "Looking back now, Lu Yang established the Lingshi Reserve Bank just one year after entering the immortal sect. He and Xiao Huang joined forces to Tianyi, in just a few months, collected tens of millions of spirit stones and wiped out thousands of years of accumulation in the world of cultivation. Now it seems that cutting leeks is more efficient than robbing a bank. high?"

"But didn't you just say that Ma Tianyi searched for spiritual stones to build rockets?"

Hearing Yang Lu's question, Mingzhu was speechless.

Yes, if Ma Tianyi is the representative who came to Kyushu to search for spiritual stones on behalf of the demons from outside the world, what kind of spiritual stone rocket would he build?

More importantly, since the demons from outside the world can come directly to Kyushu from the outside world, it doesn't make sense at all that they have to ride on a rocket when they come to the ancient heaven!

However, Mingzhu was already caught up in his own reasoning logic and couldn't extricate himself. He refuted forcefully: "There must be some things that I haven't figured out, but my reasoning is definitely correct. We are all kept captive by demons from outside the world." Livestock, Lu Yang and his gang must be here to cut leeks on behalf of demons from outside the world! If you think something is wrong, then come and explain to me!"

Although Mingzhu's theory is outrageous enough, it is surprisingly reasonable in some aspects.

Despite this, Yang Lu always felt that there was something wrong with it.

The most obvious problem is that the then President Lu Yang was by no means from the advanced civilization in the universe that can brainwash hundreds of billions of people at the same time, but an earth traveler who was in a similar situation to himself. He even saw Lu Yang playing Yang Lu was very sure about those "odd and even unchanged" jokes. He and he were still born in the same era. But for some reason, after traveling to the world of Kyushu, the two eras were five hundred years apart. .

With the ability of the earth's civilization in the 21st century, let alone brainwashing hundreds of billions of people at the same time, it is even impossible to teleport across the infinite sea of ​​void. Time travel is even more of a fantasy among fantasy. From this perspective, Look, the civilization level of the earth is not even as good as the ancient immortal civilization of Kyushu Cultivation World. At least those ancient immortals can achieve time and space teleportation.

So Yang Lu immediately asked, "Senior Mingzhu, what evidence do you have?"

Mingzhu looked at his completely demonized right arm and sneered: "I'm about to go crazy, do you think I can still joke with you? Back then, I overheard Ma Tianyi complaining to Lu Yang, It is said that Xiao Huang, another ascended immortal, has gone too far recently. Does it need to modify the memories of the relevant people..."

"Modify memory? This might be some kind of soul-searching spell!"

However, Mingzhu categorically denied: "This is impossible, because Lu Yang's answer is even more suspicious. I remember very clearly that his original words were, 'We'd better not interfere with the common memory of Jiuzhou cultivators, as that can easily cause Uncontrollable consequences', which is why I believed what you said just now!"

"Are you sure that's what he said?"

"I am a Nascent Soul cultivator, and my memory is not this bad!" Mentioning what President Lu Yang said back then, Mingzhu's tone seemed unusually sure, "I was very surprised at that time, what is 'Kyushu Cultivation'? What do you mean by "arbitrarily interfering again"? But at the time I just thought it was Lu Yang's slip of the tongue. After all, that guy usually talks weird words that others can't understand. But after listening to your description of false historical memories , I suddenly realized that the common memory of the Kyushu cultivators must have been modified! And the person who modified the common historical memory of the Kyushu world is the demon from outside the world represented by Lu Yang! "

Although Mingzhu's explanation made some sense, it still did not answer Yang Lu's inner question:

Lu Yang was obviously a visitor from Earth like himself, so why did he become an extraterrestrial demon who could modify the memories of all cultivators?

However, when it comes to his identity as an earth traveler, this question is really difficult for him to ask. Although Ming Zhu was about to degenerate into a demon, there were several unrelated people present who had been dumbfounded by the news. Yang Lu did not dare to reveal his identity as a demon outside the earth in front of so many people.

Demons from outside the world are the biggest taboo in the Kyushu cultivation world.

Li Qingyang didn't kill Yang Lu when he learned the identity of the Demon from Beyond, mainly because of President Lu Yang. However, in the eyes of other cultivators, the Demon from Beyond was ten thousand times more terrifying than the possessed demon. exist!

Thinking of this, Yang Lu also hesitated a little.

Now he has two choices, either to stop here and stop questioning Mingzhu. Although it is safer to do so, the consequence may be that he misses the last opportunity to learn the truth about the world of Kyushu. After all, except for Mingzhu this time There are not many guys, and no one else can understand the ascended immortal so well.

His other choice is to take the initiative to reveal his identity as a demon from outside the world, obtain more information from Mingzhu, and then ask Mingzhu to help him kill people and silence him!

Ming Zhu is now about to die. Apart from the truth of history, he doesn't care about other things at all. Yang Lu even has a vague feeling that as long as he makes a request to Ming Zhu, Ming Zhu might not be able to do anything. I really know how to help him silence the other three people. After all, this person is not even afraid of death and has no worries for a long time.

But Yang Lu quickly put away this dangerous idea.

Ming Zhu was about to become possessed now, and it was absolutely impossible for Fu Zhibin to release this time bomb before rescuing Wang Sandao, not to mention that Wang Sandao, whom they were planning to rescue, had also been hanging out with Lu Yang for a long time. Moreover, he was born in the mysterious and unpredictable wilderness, and he may not know less than Mingzhu.

Letting go of Wang Sandao's information in order to get Mingzhu's information is not a very cost-effective deal. After all, Mingzhu seems to have almost finished everything he can say, and Wang Sandao's face, he has not yet said. Never seen it before!

Thinking of this, Yang Lu cupped his hands and said, "In that case, is the information I just revealed worth your compliments?"

Upon hearing Yang Lu's request, Mingzhu sighed with some disappointment.

He thought he could hear more important information in the last moments of his life, but he didn't expect that Yang Lu actually didn't know much, so it ended in an anticlimactic manner.

After a long silence, Mingzhu waved his hands with a dejected expression, and slowly said: "Well, at least you let me know something before I died that I didn't know before. Since I have reached the point where my fuel is exhausted, there is no need. It’s all your juniors’ fault, just go ahead and save Wang Sandao, I won’t stop you!”

Hearing this, Cheng Shida and Fu Zhibin both looked ecstatic.

For Fu Zhibin and Cheng Shida, what Mingzhu and Yang Lu discussed was simply fantasy.

But no matter what, even if he uses a madman's method, as long as he can convince Mingzhu, it will be a great thing. Now that Yang Lu has successfully made Mingzhu choose to compromise with just some incomprehensible words, how can they Can you not be happy?

They even felt that allowing Prince Vera Yanglu to join the group was the wisest decision they had ever made!

Wang Ziwei looked around at everyone (especially Ancestor Mingzhu) and saw that no one had objections, so he nodded and shook the bell in his hand again.

This time Mingzhu did not interfere.

Despite this, the communication between Wang Ziwei and Wang Sandao still seems not to be smooth.

Although others could not understand what Wang Ziwei was talking about, they saw that the two parties had communicated with each other many times but never reached a consensus. They also knew that the communication situation between the two parties did not seem to be good.

At the same time, the degree of demonization of Mingzhu Ancestor became deeper and deeper, and even half of his body became a chaotic demon state, which made Wang Ziwei's expression become a little anxious.

If Mingzhu Ancestor completely loses his mind, he will definitely attack the restrictions in these prisons crazily. In this way, the guards of Qishan Prison outside will easily notice the changes happening here. If Qishan Prison enters a state of emergency because of this, all retreats will be closed. All the prison guards on standby are mobilized, and their plan will be difficult to implement!

After all, they only have more than 20 moles in total!

If there are only about 60 guards active in the prison, these moles can account for almost half of the total prison population. Even if there are mistakes in the operation (which is almost inevitable), they can easily find ways to remedy the situation and fight each other. It's also very easy to cover, serve as backups and reserves for each other.

But if all the more than 160 prison guards are mobilized, the actions of more than 20 of them will be easily noticed by interested people, especially their actions also involve destroying the main formation of Qishan Prison. In a state of emergency, , the main formation of Qishan Prison will definitely be the top priority for the protection of Warden Chu Zhe.

As long as there is no problem with the main formation, even if something big happens in Qishan Prison, the warden can stand still and wait for help. Therefore, Chu Zhe will inevitably choose to arrange a large number of manpower to protect the formation...

Although everyone was anxious, Wang Ziwei did not say a word, and no one could interrupt him casually.

Time passed like this minute by minute, but the situation seemed to show no signs of getting better. Just when time was getting increasingly urgent, Mingzhu Ancestor suddenly stood up on the spot.

He shook his head at Wang Ziwei and said: "You are indeed very creative in using the method of demons from outside the world to communicate with Wang Sandao. If only I could have thought of this method earlier... But you don't seem to understand Wang Sandao's character very well. , it’s useless to persuade him like this!”

(This should be before the chapter "Open the Door and Release the Dogs". I'm too lazy to ask the editor to change the order of the chapters, so I'll leave it like this)
