108|Feng Shui Temple Night Talk to Discern Truth and Falsehood

Upon hearing this, Hua Cheng turned his head, his eyes fell on Shi Qing Xuan and Ming Yi who were pinching each other at the back, signaling one person, saying, “Him?”

Xie Ren nodded.

Flower City said, “How do you want to test it?”

Xie Ren said, “Years ago, I dealt with two vernacular Immortals, and was pestered by one for most of the year. At that time, I was able to learn from their words, and I was able to test out one of their characteristics. Some of them don’t even realize it themselves, but with a little effort, they can recognize it.” After saying that, he secretly passed on this skill. Hearing this, Hua Cheng said, “Good. So and so.”

Two people have finished discussing, just returned to the broken Feng Shui Temple. It was cold in the fall, and the sky was dark. Shi Qingxuan everywhere to find his brother’s head of the statue of the water master god, give it back to the stick, the two statues of the gods correct, re-placed on the God stage. Xie Ren, on the other hand, built a pile of fire in the broken temple hall, picked up some broken wood and burned it, and the four of them sat around the fire.

Shi Qingxuan plugged his ears, sullenly drank a few pots, and finally couldn’t hold back, saying, “We can’t just sit around and wait for that thing, right? Is there any program that can help?”

He took the initiative to propose it, which was exactly what Xie Ren wanted. Ming Yi, however, rattled the fire and said, “At this time, what other programs do you need to cheer up.”

Shi Qingxuan pooh-poohed, “Be. Doesn’t that thing want me to be afraid? I prefer not to be afraid, this Wind Master will have fun however he pleases, even more so than usual, so I’ll treat it as if it’s having a big year and be angry with it.”

Xie Ren said in the psychic formation, “How about a game of dice?”

Shi Qingxuan said with a sad face, “Dice again? Comparing sizes again? Your Highness, you’re not addicted, are you.”

Xie Ren said, “Which is ……”

Shi Qingxuan said, “Forget it, there’s nothing else on hand to play with anyway. But there are four of us, it’s a bit chaotic to play, isn’t it?”

Xie Ren said, “It’s not messy, like this.”

He spread out his palm, and there were two small and exquisite dice. Xie Ren said, “The four of us, divided into two groups. Sanlang and I will form a group, and the two lords will form a group to compare which side is lucky. Two dice, one group will roll once, one person will roll one, and the number of points will be recorded. The group with the larger number of points wins, and, the other group with the smaller number of points can be asked to have to answer a question they ask, or do one thing.”

Shi Qingxuan said, “I have a question.”

Xie Ren said, “Please ask.”

Shi Qingxuan shook his leg and said, “Why, rightfully so, are you two grouped together, Your Highness the Crown Prince? Did you consider our feelings before you grouped up?”

Xie Ren coughed lightly and said, “This one, if you guys want to change the grouping, it’s fine. No difference.”

Shi Qingxuan inserted his duster into his back collar and said, “That’s just it. I actually don’t have a problem with this grouping. But with Blood Rain Scout being so lucky, wouldn’t our group be at a disadvantage?”

Xie Ren smiled and said, “You can’t say that. Although Sanlang is extremely lucky in our group, I’m extremely unlucky. When the two are added together, one on top of the other, wouldn’t we be even?”

When Shi Qingxuan thought about it, it made sense, and with a slap of his thigh, he said, “Good! This is it.” Turning his head and elbowing Ming Yi, he said, “Hear the rules yet Brother Ming, don’t drag me down.”

Ming Yi glanced at him, and his cold voice rang out from the psychic formation, “Forgive me.”

Shi Qingxuan hurriedly pinched him back and said, ”Dragging and dragging is fine! Forget it, come on! You’d better accompany, or else I’ll be alone in a group how miserable!”

So, the four of them simply made an oath to abide by the rules of the game, and then began to play. In the first round, Shi Qingxuan rolled a “five”, Ming Yi rolled a “four”; Hua Cheng rolled a “six”, and Xie Ren rolled a “one”. Xie Ren rolled a “one”.

Shi Qingxuan rejoiced, ”Hahahahahahaha! Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are truly having terrible, terrible luck! Hahahahahahahahaha ……”

Xie Ren rubbed his brow and said in a warm voice, “Although what you’re stating is the truth, Wind Master Lord, however, could you not say it in such a happy tone?”

Shi Qingxuan said, “Cough! Alright, so what, if our group wins, this Wind Master asks the two of you to do one thing. So what, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Blood Rain Scout! I, command you to-immediately help each other undress!”

Xie Ren: “????”

Xie Ren said, “Master Feng???”

Ming Diao turned around in disgust, holding his forehead as if he didn’t want to see this kind of bad taste scene. Shi Qingxuan yelled, “Come, come, willing to bet, the titular Magus and the titular Ghost King won’t cheat, right? I’m already seated, please start your performance!”

“……”

Xie Ren looked at Hua Cheng, who spread his hands and mouthed wordlessly ”Brother, it’s not my fault”.

Xie Ren had no choice but to say, “Take off how much?”

Shi Qingxuan is just fooling around, of course, will not really want them to be embarrassed, shaking his legs and laughing: “Take off a piece is enough, keep a few pieces behind to continue well, hee hee hee hee.”

He actually wants to continue …… Xie Ren hesitates, secretly transmitting voice: “San Lang ……”

There was no fluctuation on Hua Cheng’s face, but his voice whispered in Xie Ren’s ear in a serious and comforting manner, “Nothing. Didn’t we agree that we can let them win a few times, there will be times when they lose later.”

This was indeed what they had said beforehand, it was just that Xie Ren didn’t expect Shi Qingxuan to play around like this, rather like lifting a stone and smashing his own foot. He dawdled to undo Hua Cheng’s sash, and only after a long time did he help Hua Cheng remove the black garment, revealing the snow-white middle garment inside. Huacheng also look as usual to help him take off the coat, the action is gentle and slow, and did not touch Xie Ren limbs. Both of them actually only took off a jacket, no pain, no harm at all, but Xie Ren still felt that this matter was incomparably bizarre, and sat squarely in his seat and said, “Again …… again.”

In the second round, Shi Qingxuan rolled a “three” and Ming Yi rolled a “six”; Hua Cheng still rolled a “six” and Xie Ren still rolled a “one”. One.”

Shi Qingxuan pounded the ground and laughed, and Xie Ren looked at Hua Cheng. The two hadn’t broken their channeling, and he transmitted, “…… Sanlang!”

It’s not what was promised!

Hua Cheng then apologized back, “Sorry, sorry, Fang forgot. Brother don’t be angry, it’s my fault this time.”

Shi Qingxuan drank up again and rolled|up his sleeves, “Okay, this round, I order you to ……”

Xie Ren busily said: ”Hold on! We’ve done it and taken it off in the last round. This round, it’s time to ask questions instead.”

Shi Qingxuan hailed, ”Asking questions? Also good. Then, my first question, Blood Rain Scout, in your mind, what is the most painful thing in the world?”

Hua Cheng’s smile suddenly faded, while there was a slight silence in the Feng Shui Temple.

Shi Qingxuan said, ”Don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean anything in particular. It’s just that I’m genuinely curious, having achieved the position of Ghost King like you, Blood Rain Scout, is there anything else in this world that can make you feel pain. Perhaps, does not exist?”

Flower City asked rhetorically, “What do you think?”

Shi Qingxuan thought for a moment and guessed, “Copper Furnace Mountain Compulsion City?”

This was indeed the first answer that would pop up when many people pondered over this question. Hua Cheng, however, smiled faintly and said, “Not enough to fear.”

Shi Qingxuan wondered, “Isn’t it? Then what could it be?”

Hua Cheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, the arc quickly disappearing, and said, “I’ll tell you what it is.”

He said softly, “Watching your loved ones being trampled on and abused|humiliated with your own eyes, and not being able to do anything about it. You realize that you are nothing and can do nothing, and that is the most painful thing in the world.”

At those words, Xie Ren’s entire body held its breath. In the dilapidated Feng Shui Temple, no one answered the words, Shi Qingxuan could not say a word for a long time, and only after a long time did he say, “…… Oh.”

Ming Yi’s demeanor remained cold as he rattled the fire and said, “Continue.”

Shi Qingxuan scratched his hair and waved his hand, “I’m done asking. Brother Ming, you do it.”

Thus, Ming Yi raised her head slightly, stared at Xie Ren, and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Only then did Xie Ren come back to his senses and said, “Huh?”

Ming Yi said, “What is the thing you regret the most in your life?”

Unexpectedly, Ming Yi was usually quiet, but once she opened her mouth, it was such a blunt and heavy question, Xie Ren was momentarily stunned.

Shouldn’t you have disobeyed the warning and insisted on going down to the boundary privately? Shouldn’t you have gone to Yongan to bring down rain? Shouldn’t you be so delusional as to want to protect Senryaku? Or should we not leave some people alive?

He knew that none of it was.

Only after a long time did Xie Ren say, “Second Ascension.”

The other three people in the temple looked at him, none of them speaking. Xie Ren was out of his mind for a while, and after a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses and said, “What’s wrong? Gentlemen, I’ve finished answering.”

Hua Cheng said in a faint voice, “Nothing much. Go on.”

In the third round, Shi Qingxuan “two”, Ming Yi “two”; Hua Cheng “six”, Xie Ren “one”.

Seeing this, Xie Ren breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The Divine Officer has finally won!

It was Shi Qingxuan’s group’s turn to be punished, but he jumped at the chance as if he wasn’t afraid of anything, saying, “Come on come on. Feel free to do as you please!”

Xie Ren laughed, “Then, I’ll make myself at home. Master Earth Master, after you.”

He turned to Ming Yi and said, “My lord, the next question I ask, you must answer it properly, do not lie.”

Ming Yi didn’t say anything, and Shi Qingxuan waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Ming, this person, won’t lie at all.”

Xie Ren guffawed and said, “Good. First question: who am I?”

Shi Qingxuan froze and said, “Your Royal Highness, what kind of question is this, aren’t you just you, who else could you be if not you??”

Upon hearing this, Ming Yi slowly raised her head and locked eyes with Xie Ren, and after a short while, she replied, “Crown Prince of the Immortal Music Kingdom, Xie Ren.”

Xie Ren nodded and said, “Second question, this one sitting next to me, who is it?”

After a moment’s pause, Ming Yi replied again, “Lord of the Ghost Market, Blood Rain Tanager.”

Xie Ren said, “So, last question – the one sitting next to you, who is it?”

Shi Qingxuan grew more and more baffled: ”Your Highness, what are you playing at? Who am I? I’m the Wind Master ah???”

Xie Ren said, “Master Earth Master, please answer.”

This time, Ming Yi was not so quick to answer.

After dealing with the White Talking Immortals many times, that marvelous pattern that Xie Ren had discovered in them was that once a White Talking Immortal opened its mouth, within three sentences, there would definitely be at least one sentence that was a lie.

This characteristic, just like an ordinary person, no matter how strong and fit he is, he must drink water within three days, otherwise he will die of dehydration, will not change with the level of ability. Unless one ascends and ceases to be human.

The Thousand Mile Shrinking Array was drawn by Ming Yi, and the door was also closed by Ming Yi, who was at the end of the line. If he wanted to get his hands dirty, he would have the best chance, and Xie Ren’s first suspicion would naturally be of him. However, at that time, Shi Qingxuan was obviously disturbed, if he were to reveal his suspicions in the immediate future, it would undoubtedly cause Shi Qingxuan’s mind to be shaken, resulting in the True Immortal of the White Speech being able to suck more negativity out of him, transforming it into a source of mana. Therefore, at that time, Xie Ren quickly found another possibility. But in truth, he did not give up on the most straightforward possibility.

Although the Wind Master and the Earth Master were extremely close, if the Earth Master was a White Speech True Immortal in disguise, the Wind Master would never fail to see it. But, what if that White Speech True Immortal had already attached himself to Ming Yi silently?

That’s why he wanted Hua Cheng to cooperate with him at the beginning, to corner Ming Yi’s words. On the other hand, Flower City suggested that the two of them and Ming Yi originally did not communicate much, so it would be unnatural for them to get words out of her. Why don’t they first try to create an opportunity under the name of a game, so that Ming Yi could say more, and see if they could find out the truth without being detected by the Wind Master and the Earth Master.

However, Ming Yi has always spoken very little, the atmosphere is even more enthusiastic words like gold, the party during the game, Xie Ren has been attentive to listen to every sentence, he opened his mouth, most ambiguous, it is impossible to judge whether he is lying. In the end, had to use the killer, borrowed the skills of the city of flowers, secretly manipulate the dice points, so that Ming Yi lost, and then suddenly threw out three questions, so that he rode the tiger difficult, had to answer on the spot.

Because it was in the game, Shi Qingxuan wouldn’t be able to react for a moment and would still think that they were joking, and thus wouldn’t be taken advantage of by that vernacular True Immortal to suck in mana. As for Ming Yi, as long as he answered incorrectly, the moment he revealed his footsteps, Xie Ren would immediately restrain him.

It was known that within three sentences of something like a Vernacular Immortal, there must be at least one that was a lie. Now that Xie Ren had asked two questions, both of Ming Yi’s answers were true.

Then, if Ming Yi is the true immortal of the vernacular, he will surely answer falsehoods to this last question.
