Chapter 307 Counterattack
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Lin Zheng admired his wife's foresight even more.
If it was really a fight to the death, how could there be such a frivolous confrontation?
"This matter has to start with Junior Brother Tongbao's Transmigration Talisman."
Like Yu Ning, Tong Bao has some characteristics of a new generation of highly educated practitioners. He does not like to follow the rules and likes to think about things that his predecessors have not taught him.
This transfer talisman was developed by Tongbao himself.
Using this talisman, one can temporarily change the shape of the body, but it requires the cooperation of a person skilled in makeup, as he cannot change his face out of thin air.
Yu Ning happened to have a top makeup artist named Lou You. Lou You made a puppet in advance and painted its face to look like Yu Ning. So when Tong Ye opened the car door and saw Lin Zheng hugging and kissing her, it was actually a proportional puppet.
Tongbao came over, got on the car and exchanged faces with the puppet, then fought with the Night Walker as Yu Ning, which led to the scene that everyone saw later.
In fact, Yu Ning was not in school. Lin Zheng was helping her to hold on to the school while she went out to do something important.
Yu Ning got a lot of information from Jia Ruanruan. As a condition for releasing Taotie, Jia Ruanruan provided clues about Leng Wen and Amber.
She only told me where these two people went, and everything else was guessed by Yu Ning herself.
These days, although Yu Ning seemed to have gained nothing, he actually received a lot of fragmented information.
She had long noticed that there was something wrong with this strange beast in the school that could create dreams. There was no such creature in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Instead, it looked a bit like a "dream-eating tapir".
But the dream-eating tapir is a creature created by the book based on Chinese legends. Since the upper realm makes fruits based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is impossible for it to make such a mistake.
So the only explanation is that the strange beasts in the school are not real fruits, but are artificially created.
Combined with the information Jia Ruanruan and Yu Ning found out from their visit to the underworld to find their ancestors, Yu Ning boldly hypothesized that this night-wandering god might very well be an ancestor of their Ningshan sect.
The reason for creating a fake monster was to lure her into the game, establish her authority, and then let Yu Ning take over the position of the head that should have been taken over by Leng Wen.
The dream-eating tapir in the school is a fake fruit, but the Taotie in Jia Ruanruan's hand is a real fruit, and the chicken that was captured is also a reserve fruit.
When Yu Ning came to this conclusion, Lin Zheng's first reaction was that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
Aren't you just bored?
Can't you just say whatever you want to say face to face? Why do you have to go through so much trouble?
Moreover, Yu Ning has several senior brothers above her, whose cultivation is higher than hers. Why must they push Yu Ning, a young girl in her early twenties, to sit in this position?
Yu Ning explained the reasoning to Lin Zheng.
Although she has senior brothers above her, the third, fourth and fifth brothers all have their own specialties and things to do. Moreover, they are old and their talents are always limited, so they are not suitable.
The suitable ones are the eldest and second brothers, those who have the skills to maintain their youth are expected to achieve good results. This is the unspoken rule in the industry.
But according to the information provided by Jia Ruanruan, the two senior brothers have each dedicated decades of cultivation to the benefit of the people of the world, and it is impossible for them to sit in this position again.
So after going around in circles, Yu Ning became the most suitable candidate.
But the problem is that she is too young. Although there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future, there are definitely many people in the sect who do not respect her.
If you want to establish Yu Ning's authority, nothing would be more effective than letting everyone see it with their own eyes.
The night-wandering god is fake, and the strange beast is also fake.
When Jiang Nan fought with Night Wanderer, he also deliberately weakened his strength and pretended that he couldn't win, just to pave the way for Yu Ning. If an opponent that Jiang Nan couldn't beat was easily defeated by Yu Ning, who would not be convinced by Yu Ning?
The plan was perfect, but Yu Ning's high IQ became the only variable in this game.
The intentions of the senior brothers were good, and she was also moved by their righteousness, but she was not a puppet, and she wanted to make her own decisions for her own life.
That’s why there was this farce of fake Yu Ning versus fake fruit.
Jiang Nan and Lin Zheng knew all these things, but the others didn't understand and were dissatisfied with Ning's absence.
"My wife is fighting the real Night Wanderer on the top of the snowy mountain. It's not only for her, but also for you." Lin Zheng's eyes slowly swept across the people present and said something that shocked everyone.
"Have you ever heard that the last dragon vein is hidden on the snowy peak of Baishan Mountain? My wife, Master Leng, and Patriarch Amber are all there."
"Dragon Vein?! Could it be that the prophecy is true?" The old man who had just caused trouble was startled and remembered the mysterious prophecy his master left him.
Not many people in Ningshan knew about this prophecy. There happened to be a few people at the scene. When they heard Lin Zheng mention the dragon vein, these people looked at Jiang Nan at the same time, as if they wanted to seek an answer.
Seeing that his deeds were exposed, Jiang Nan could only nod heavily.
“The prophecy is true.”
Those who knew about it gasped and looked at each other. Realizing that this matter could not be said in public, they all shut up, but a look of worry appeared on their faces at the same time.
If the prophecy is true, then Master Yu Ning will not be able to escape unscathed. Master Leng and Master Jiang have already lost most of their cultivation. For someone like Yu Ning, whose cultivation is still shallow, I'm afraid her path to cultivation will be completely cut off.
Although some of these insiders were dissatisfied with Yu Ning, they also knew that if this young nun devoted herself to cultivation, she would have a promising future. If she could delay the succession for a few years and choose an acting leader from among them during this period, everyone would be able to accept it.
But if Yu Ning also went there, it would mean that there might be no outstanding successors in the next generation, and Ningshan would completely decline like the corpse driver.
Although these old guys covet the position of the head, they also know in their hearts that they can only take over temporarily for a few years. In the future, young people like Yu Ning will have to take over to have a better future.
But Yu Ning just left like that
Is Ningshan’s future ruined just like that?
Thinking of this, regret appeared on the faces of several elders at the same time.
"There's no need to be so pessimistic. Since my wife dares to sit in this position, she has her own way to break the impasse. The dragon vein and she will be safe." Lin Zheng kept these people's reactions in mind.
When Ning comes back, he has to tell the truth. Lin Zheng will know what kind of person's temper is with just a little probing, and then he can let Ning Ning conquer them one by one in the future.
With his assistance, there is no need to worry about Yu Ning not being able to hold on to this position.
"What on earth is Master thinking of?"
"We'll talk about this after she comes back. In order not to reveal the secret, I can only say a little. Do you remember the large-scale ancestor worship ceremony yesterday? The solution to the problem lies there."
It would have been fine if Lin Zheng didn't explain. After he did, everyone became even more confused. What did this all mean?
Those who know, those who don’t know, and those who know half are all confused.
Only Xiao Kui was indifferent to all this. She came to Tong Ye who had taken off his mask, tilted her head and looked at him left and right, sideways and vertically, which made Tong Ye confused.
"Brother, is this Night Wanderer the same one that Ning Xiaozu and I saw in the ghost market? Why does it feel like they are not the same person?"
"They were not the same person in the first place. Didn't you listen carefully to what I just said? Ningning went to see the real Night Wanderer."
