56|Tracing the Past to Mount Tai Cang again
by Jessie@AFNCCFor some reason, all of a sudden, Xie Ren seemed to have a burst of courage.
After Lang Qianqiu left, his pace had been a little sluggish and his back a little bent. But this courage came from nowhere, and I don’t know where it’s going, but it made his whole body straighten up again without even realizing it. As he stood still, Shi Qingxuan walked up and patted him on the shoulder, saying: ”This person is quite interesting. Your Highness, I don’t know how you made friends, but you’re lucky.”
This was the first time Xie Ren had heard someone say to him, You’re so lucky. He glanced at Shi Qingxuan, smiled faintly, and said, ”Is that so? I guess so. I think so.”
Behind them, Feng Xin continued to wipe his face silently. When the two of them turned around, they saw his face covered in white hair, and it was hard for them to hold back their laughter. Xie Ren said, “I’m sorry.”
This was considered an apology in place of Flower City. Feng Xin finally pulled his white hair down and said, “The skill is not as good as the others. There’s nothing to say.”
The three of them searched the lair again, to make sure that there were no more trapped living people, and there were no more fish in the net, and then rode on a gust of wind, and returned to the immortal capital again.
After passing through the ascension gate, they only saw many lower-level magistrates of the Central Heavenly Court blocking the street, coming and going, as if they were on the verge of an enemy, and were checking out every palace on both sides of the street. When they arrived at the Divine Martial Hall, it was already filled with Divine Officers from the Upper Heavenly Court, and from afar, there were voices of argument that entered their ears. The first sentence they heard was: “Flower City actually said that our Heavenly Court has planted eyes in the Ghost Market. This is really ridiculous, do we need to have eyes and ears under him in the Heavenly Realm?”
Upon hearing this, Xie Ren and Shi Qingxuan both coughed gently. The matter of planting eyes undercover in the Ghost Market was 80% not a lie. If we can’t wait to yell before things are clear, if it’s true, wouldn’t it be like lifting a rock and smashing it into one’s own foot?
The three of them entered the hall, and Shi Qingxuan walked in the forefront. As soon as the crowd took a look at him, they greeted, “Master Feng has returned?” “Hard work hard work!” The eyes, however, were all fixed on Xie Ren. They were about to ask again, but immediately afterward, they saw Feng Xin, who looked as if he had just crawled out of a pool of blood, walking in with a sullen face behind the two of them. The crowd instantly froze and moved their gazes away. After all, no one wanted to hear the curses that resounded through the air in the quiet hall. Only Mu Qi, not only did she not avoid it, but instead deliberately looked this way, her intentions were clear.
Xie Ren raised his eyes, only to see Jun Wu sitting at the top, one hand supporting his forehead, pressing his temples, eyes closed, looking as if he was slightly tired. Xie Ren was very understandable.
To in the past, a month or two are not necessarily open a set of discussion, but recently it is a frequent occurrence of accidents, within a short period of time, the divine martial arts hall full several times, as if every day something, hate to discuss twice a day, in exchange for Xie Ren, he is also tired. Moreover, there were many people who wanted to express their opinions, and they were all talking. One of the Magi said, ”He came when he said he would, and connected the Immortal Music Palace to somewhere else, this point is really terrifying. Today, he can easily capture the Crown Prince who offended him, and tomorrow, he might be able to capture other Divine Officers in other halls. This matter must not be tolerated, it must be curbed in time!”
If it is changed to the earth, it is equivalent to a certain anti | thieves in the palace dug a tunnel, come and go as you please, of course, people fidgety. It is no wonder that the group of gods in the Heavenly Court were on full alert, checking in all directions. Mu Qing’s focus, however, was not on this, faintly saying, ”Flower City has so many believers and sits on a ghost market, a mere Polar Place, burning it down, can it still mean anything to him? It’s not necessarily because the Crown Prince offended him that he broke into the Immortal Capital.”
Shi Qingxuan immediately said, ”General Xuanzhen, that’s not correct, we all heard Flower City itself admit it. Speaking of which, which general’s turn is it to guard the court this month? The gate of the Immortal Bliss Palace has been given a spell to connect it to another place, and it’s surprisingly unnoticed. Is this considered dereliction of duty?”
Pei Ming had stood with his arms wrapped around him, the old god didn’t say anything, when he heard this, he said, “Me.”
Shi Qingxuan, however, accidentally misremembered, he had thought it was Mu Qing, but ended up bombarding Pei Ming, and could not help but be embarrassed. Pei Ming did not shirk his responsibility and said, “I was the one on duty this month. It was indeed my dereliction of duty.”
The Magus who had befriended him immediately relieved him, “In my opinion, it’s better to take things piece by piece, let’s first clear up the matter of the Bloodwashing Gilt Banquet!”
At that moment, Ling Wen, who was serving at the front of the hall, suddenly said, “His Highness Tai Hua has news.”
Jungo finally opened his eyes and said, “What did he say.”
Ling Wen waited quietly for a moment and said, “He said that the matter of the Yongan Kingdom’s Gilt Banquet had another inside story, and that he would find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to resolve it on his own, without the need for bystanders to intervene. But please make sure that His Highness the Crown Prince does not succeed in degrading himself, these are two different things.”
Muoi frowned, “What inside information?”
Spirit Man said, “Nothing more, no news.”
I did not expect to see a big battle is about to start, a hammer heavily smashed, but lightly landed, all the magi can not help but be a little disappointed. Lang Qianqiu is the victim, the victim does not look for the murderer to collect the debt, then what is the other side of the lively to see? Moreover, Lang Qianqiu did not say, Xie Ren looks like he will not say, this is really not even a little chewing.
Next, Jun Wu ordered Feng Xin and Mu Yi, let them assist Pei Ming to strengthen the vigilance, and arranged something else, waved his hand, let everyone dispersed. Xie Ren stayed behind, vaguely heard someone talking: “Sure enough, every time he stirred up something, the emperor said he wanted to try, in the end, not all things are not well ……”
“I have eyes to recognize Mt. Tai, so it’s a big Buddha, be careful what you say in the future.”
……
When the people had dispersed, Xie Ren walked up to the front of the hall and owed, “I’ve caused you trouble.”
Jun Wu said, “That’s not much trouble. It would only be troublesome if you had been dead set on biting the fact that it was you who bloodied the Gilt Banquet.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Xie Ren still explained the whole story by herself.
After listening, Jun Wu commented, “Xian Le, you’ve really done this thing, it’s a thankless task, inside and out.”
Xie Ren hung his head and said, “I know.”
Jungo said, “That’s just it. You’ve always been like this. Tai Hua’s attention is now diverted to chasing after the Green Ghost. When he catches up, he will inevitably still come to you, how to respond, have you thought about it?”
Xie Ren said, “I haven’t thought about it. But at the moment, I’d better think of something else.”
Jungo laughed and said, “Thinking about what? Is there something funny that would make me happy too.”
Xie Ren said, “The Earth Master went undercover in the Ghost City, did you send him?”
Jungo said calmly, “Yes.”
Xie Ren said, “Why is that?”
Jun Wu slowly said, “Because, it was Flower City who first planted his eyes in the Heavenly Realm.”
Xie Ren was stunned. Jun Wu stood up and said, ”For many years, the news from Flower City has been too fast. Moreover, some of what he shouldn’t know, he knows exactly. For what can be done, what can’t be done, where is the bottom line, how to rub the edge and press the line, he grasps it too precisely. And this time, he directly opened the channel to your Immortal Music Palace, has been tantamount to indirectly proving that the Upper Heavenly Court does indeed have an insider that he has planted. It would be impossible to do this otherwise.”
In fact, regarding this point, Xie Ren was also more or less aware of it, after all, Flower City really did know too much, so it wasn’t unbelievable for Jun Wu to say it. He said, “Do you have proof?”
Jun Wu slowly shook his head and said: ”It is because of the lack of evidence, but also fishy repeatedly, I let Ming Yi mixed into the ghost world. I didn’t expect that the ghost in the Heavenly Court hadn’t been uncovered, but Ming Yi fell into his hands. Although it is not folded in his hands, to you saved back, but now, to find his eyes, more difficult.”
Xie Ren said, “Is it the Upper Heavenly Court or the Middle Heavenly Court that has gone wrong?”
Jungo said, “It’s hard to say. Just assume it could be anyone but you. Maybe, just one, maybe, more.”
No wonder Jun Wu did not send anyone else to the Ghost Market to investigate Ming Yi’s whereabouts. If it was possible for anyone but him, Xie Ren couldn’t help but think, “Could it be that the Wind Master, Qianqiu, and Feng Xin, all of them, are also possible?”
At that moment, Jun Wu said, “Xian Le, I know you must be quite fond of Flower City right now. You have your own measure of friendship, and onlookers shouldn’t say much. But when necessary, you be careful of some Flower City, don’t let anything bottom out to him.”
At those words, Xie Ren gathered her thoughts. Jun Wu said, ”Those who are able to become Jedi, none of them have gone through pains unimaginable to ordinary people. Either they soar to the heavens, or they are doomed. The two Jedi Ghost Kings that came out of the Copper Furnace Mountain, Blackwater and Flower City, are both far more terrifying than you can imagine.”
Xie Ren lowered his head, not retorting or agreeing. Jun Wu said, “I don’t know what his purpose and movements are, while he knows everything about the Upper Heavenly Court’s purpose and movements. This is unfavorable.”
Hearing him say “this is very unfavorable”, Xie Ren looked up and said offhandedly, “Sanlang he ……” Seeing Junwu exchanging words, he paused and changed his words to say, “Huacheng he , shouldn’t be able to do things that go too far. After all, you think, with his strength, if he wants to cause trouble and chaos, wouldn’t he have been able to stir up a heaven and earth a long time ago? Since he wouldn’t in the past, then as long as nothing major happens, I’m sure he won’t in the future either.”
Jungo said, “I hope so, but you know I can’t take any chances.”
After leaving the Divine Martial Hall, Xie Ren walked slowly through the streets of Xianjing.
As he passed by the Palace of Immortal Bliss, he stopped and looked around for a while.
It was the palace that Jungo had granted him, ornate, new, and at the same time, strange. The vermilion door was shiny with rows and rows of studs, but it had been sealed with two spells written all over it, forming a huge cross that looked shocking to the eye.
Before Shi Qingxuan left the Divine Martial Palace, he said to him, because the gate was connected to another place by magic, your palace is temporarily sealed, you can come to my palace to rest. However, after staring at the “Immortal Music Palace” for a while, Xie Ren suddenly turned around. He didn’t go to the Wind Master’s Palace, and he didn’t care about what he was going to do, but instead, he went straight ahead, exited the Ascension Gate, and jumped down.
Through the sea of capped clouds, the location where he landed was in the Tai Cang Mountains.
On this Taicang Mountain, there was once situated the Huangji Guan, the royal dojo of the ancient kingdom of Xianle.
The Imperial Extremity Concept was an extremely large group of Taoist temples spread throughout the entire Tai Cang Mountain, enshrining several Gods and Immortals that were intertwined with each other. The main deity was the Divine Martial Emperor, and the Golden Palace was on the highest peak. And the Crown Prince’s Palace, located on the second highest peak, also had its heyday for a while.
Eight hundred years ago, Tai Cang Mountain mountains are like fire maple forest, is a big famous scenic spots, maple forest road, all the head, a steady stream of believers. And then Xianle country broken, many former believers in groups ran up the mountain, to burn the Prince Hall, but led to the mountain fire, the whole Taicang Mountain are burned most of the burnt, reduced to a piece of scorched earth.
The charred land, like the land where the dead were buried, seemed to be more fertile. Later, on top of this scorched earth, seeds fell and new trees grew. Hundreds of years later, the hills were lush again, but there were no more red leaves, a completely different landscape from that of 800 years ago.
In the old days, there was a wide and flat green stone mountain path up to the mountain. From time to time, you could see the incense worshippers or the little Taoist priests carrying water and firewood on the path. Now, this trail has long disappeared. The rocky mountains and withered grasses and branches buried it deep in the ground. Xie Ren traveled all the way up the mountain, relying on his legs, and when he encountered thorns and thistles blocking the path, he took down the Fang Xin Sword behind his back and chopped off the withered vines and weeds.
When he climbed halfway up the mountain, Xie Ren got a little tired and leaned against a dead tree, wanting to rest for a while. Suddenly, a dark thing smashed down from the tree, and with a strange sound, it came at him head on.
