Moon Emperor

Chapter 407 No, this is not true

Three days later, in the vast world, Yan Tiancheng, wearing a gray gown and dressed as a low-level casual cultivator, came to Yueya Valley Fang City to inquire about the news.

His face was still a little pale, and the power of that palm was more terrifying than he imagined. He had to stay in seclusion for several days before barely removing the hidden danger. This also made Yan Tiancheng even more afraid of the unknown high-ranking Buddhist figure.

The market is more lively than the past few days, not because of the magic lamp of wish that has been auctioned, but because of the news that the Piaomiao Fairy Palace has appeared here, which has attracted a lot of people who want to try their luck and take a chance. of monks.

Many people are sure that the fairy palace will appear again. Even if it doesn't appear, it would be a waste of time to look for clues here. The most important thing for monks is time.

Because of this, no one paid attention to Yan Tiancheng, a "little character". He followed the position in his mind, turned left and right in the crowd, and came to a stall with magic weapons, formation flags, elixirs and other sundries. forward.

The stall owner is an old man with a gray beard. He is taking a nap with his eyes closed and does not greet the customers. He looks enigmatic.

Yan Tiancheng pretended to look at a few things and said directly: "I want them all."

The old man immediately "succeeded" and opened his eyes with a smile, "The total is seven thousand three hundred spirit gathering stones. I'll give you a zero, seven thousand will be enough."

Yan Tiancheng casually threw a bottle of elixir over. The old man carefully opened the stopper and smelled a little bit of the elixir. The smile on his face became brighter and he immediately put it in his arms without asking for change or anything.

Seeing this, Yan Tiancheng asked casually in a tone of inquiring for information: "Why is this Crescent Valley so lively? When I came here half a month ago, there were not so many people."

"Hey," the old man slapped his thigh, "Isn't this just a few days ago? A fairy palace appeared out of nowhere. These guys all said that some ancient cave abode was born, and they all came here just to take advantage of it."

Of course that wasn't what Yan Tiancheng wanted to ask, he was just looking for a random topic to start with; but before he could ask about Su Yan, the eloquent old man in front of him said something that surprised him.

"But old man, I heard someone say that that fairy palace has a background. It's called [Piaomiao Fairy Palace]. It has an owner. It's not a place for monks to pick up bargains. Most of those people's efforts will be in vain. "

"Oh?" Yan Tiancheng showed interest. He didn't expect that this little old man knew quite a lot.

The old man felt a little proud when he saw this. He stroked his beard and continued:

"Someone has collected some ancient myths and legends to prove that the palace is a mysterious building that existed a long time ago. It is suspected to be the residence of ancient immortals. Although it is correct to say that it is an [ancient cave], it is not the same as what those people imagined. It’s not the same thing.”

"And in the past few hundred years, that fairy palace has appeared at least twice. The time a few days ago was only the third time."

"Anyway, the immortal residence that disappeared for thousands of years has been reappearing frequently in the past few hundred years. It probably has an owner."

Yan Tiancheng nodded slightly. This was normal. He had returned to the main world at least a dozen times over the years.

The first few times I just wanted to come back, but later I found out that I couldn't come back. Most of the time I just threw the magic lamp of wish in, and sometimes I also stole some people away.

It's normal for someone to notice it once it happens many times, but Yan Tiancheng is surprised that someone can actually dig out ancient documents and get the correct name of the Immortal Palace; this person must have some background, and he wants to spread the news for some reason. .

Before Yan Tiancheng could ask where the stall owner's information came from, the old man said mysteriously, "Do you know who the Lord of the Immortal Palace is?"

Yan Tiancheng smiled and shook his head, but he said in his heart: If you knew my true identity, I'm afraid you, the old guy, would be so scared that you would kneel down and kowtow.

"This is first-hand information. For the sake of your generosity, I will tell you for free. The master of the Immortal Palace is Su Yan!" the old man said firmly.

Yan Tiancheng's eyes widened instantly!Su Yan? !Are you kidding me? ?

The old man was very satisfied with the guest's "shocked" expression. He said with a leisurely and fascinated look: "I think that the banished immortal has become famous in the spiritual world in just four or five years. His achievements are outstanding and everyone in the world knows it." , no one knows.”

"Recently, he led the [Twelve Patrolling Envoys] organization that disappeared for more than a thousand years to return to the world. Now the Su Immortal has another name, called the [Monarching Immortal Master]."

"What kind of existence is the Immortal Master? That is a position that only true immortals in the lower world can hold, let alone in the mortal world. Even in the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Master only obeys the orders of the Emperor of Heaven. In daily actions, he can be executed first and then dealt with. It is authorized by the imperial power! Do you think it’s powerful?”

The more Yan Tiancheng listened, the uglier his expression became. Is Su Yan really that big of a person?He doesn't believe it, absolutely doesn't believe it. If he is so powerful, he will be forced into the position of the Lord of the Immortal Palace?
Or is it just the same name?Or maybe it’s a homophone and I misunderstood it.

The old casual cultivator continued, "Su Yan, as the Immortal Master and a person closely related to Heaven, has been making a lot of noise recently; many people suspect that the Immortal World will return to the human world soon."

He said a little embarrassed, "Actually, I only found out recently that the fairy world above has disappeared for many years, but it doesn't matter whether I know it or not. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us low-level monks. At most, we can have more talk."

"Back to the topic, Su Yan shoulders a major mission and reopening the Immortal Palace may be just an insignificant thing among the many things he has to do."

"Although this is just a speculation at the moment, there are many people who agree with it. Everyone thinks that maybe the next time Su Yan appears in front of the world, he will appear in the palace of the Immortal Family."

Yan Tiancheng was filled with ignorance when he heard this, but a small character who temporarily took his place in jail was inexplicably given the name of the Lord of the Immortal Palace by you. I am the Lord of the Immortal Palace!
He resisted the urge to kill the chattering old guy in front of him and asked proactively: "Where did you hear all this news? Including the name [Piaomiao Immortal Palace]; and the speculation that Su Yan is the Lord of the Immortal Palace. .”

The old man also knew that his so-called "first-hand information" was untenable, so he hesitated before telling the truth, "I had a drink and chat with some monks from Yunhai Sect last night and listened to what they said."

Yan Tiancheng nodded, and then asked with a humble look: "Old man, to be honest, I have been locked up by my father to practice in the family since I was a child. I have made some achievements in practice recently, so I got their permission to come out to practice alone. Break out.”

"I have heard about the name of this banished immortal, but I know his specific deeds are ominous. Could you please tell me in detail?"

"Ouch, my guest, you have offended me," the old man said, but it was still useful to see his expression. "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will talk to you."

"This matter has to start from the past."

Adhering to the principle of starting from beginning to end, the old man just started from Su Yan's life experience, talking about the Su family being framed by Qi Yanwu, then Su Yan went to Qingcheng Palace to learn Taoism, and then went to Luoyang to avenge his family. The words were very exaggerated and blew Su Yan to the sky.

Especially Su Yan's several important achievements, the old casual cultivator wrote about them in great detail, like a storyteller telling a story, all he needed was a gavel tree and a pot of tea.Immortal reincarnation?Bodhisattva reincarnation?Blue eyes with square pupils?Peerless swordsmanship?Red lotus karma fire?Golden body dharma image?The more Yan Tiancheng listened, the more incredible his expression became. Even outsiders could see the surprise that he couldn't hide.

"That's it, Dragon Girl's apprenticeship was fruitless, and Immortal Su was nowhere to be found. He was probably busy dealing with matters in Piaomiao Immortal Palace." After speaking, the old man smacked his lips, took out a wine bag and drank it. A few mouthfuls.

Yan Tiancheng's expression was gloomy and uncertain. The old guy probably wasn't lying about this kind of public news, he just used exaggerated words. However, he really couldn't compare this banished immortal with Su Yan, who claimed to be the "Heir of the Gua Immortal" Number.

Could it be that Su Yan deliberately pretended to be weak to deceive himself so that he could take the Piaomiao Immortal Palace as his own?Have you been fooled? !
Thinking about it, it is not impossible. Although it shouldn't be a problem for Su Yan to banish the immortal and kill him directly, it is not that simple for him to become the Lord of the Immortal Palace, because when Yan Tiancheng was still in that position, he died. Gods can also escape into the core of the fairy palace to protect themselves.

In this way, unless Su Yan demolishes the entire Misty Palace, Yan Tiancheng will be immortal and can still disgust him all the time.

In order to avoid this result, Su Yan deliberately set up a trap?

At this moment, Yan Tiancheng carefully recalled all the details of the original interaction between the two. Su Yan's response, actions, and words did have traces of a performance, and seemed to be hiding some real purpose.

And the most important thing is that Su Yan himself proposed the wish to become the Lord of the Immortal Palace!

Thinking of this, Yan Tiancheng seemed to have a shocking thunderbolt in his mind. He actually followed Su Yan's wishes and took the initiative to fulfill the other party's wish.
If this guess is true, then Su Yan should have started planning it many years ago. Could it be that the reason why he took the magic lamp of wish and hid it deliberately was to lure himself and Miao Miao Xiangong to show up?
And Su Yan was very cautious. He was worried that he would become suspicious, so he hid it for several years, and then in a "coincidence" way, he deliberately encountered the second magic lamp he threw out.

Here is another piece of evidence to support it:
As a reincarnation of an immortal or a Bodhisattva, doesn't Su Yan know that taking out the first magic lamp will allow him to immediately follow the causal link to find him?Unless, he really means it.

By the way, there is also the golden Buddha palm that appeared out of thin air after the two parties completed the exchange of cause and effect and destiny. It was not the enemy who provoked Su Yan from the air, but his own hand!

"Bodhisattva is reincarnated, Bodhisattva is reincarnated." Yan Tiancheng's face has become very pale, and there is even some cold sweat on his forehead.

No, that's not right. If Su Yan was innocent on the surface but actually did it secretly, then why did he want to spare his life?At that time, he had lost his identity as the Lord of the Immortal Palace. Logically speaking, if he died, he would die.

Could it be that Su Yan was worried that he had a backup plan, so he deliberately weakened the power of that palm to test whether he had really been fooled?

It is very possible that that palm is mysterious and mysterious, with incredible power of law, but the actual power cannot match the corresponding realm level.

Yan Tiancheng originally thought that it was possible that a certain Bodhisattva had taken action from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and his power had been weakened countless times, so that was why it happened.

But the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss has disappeared for so many years. If we could really take action from a distance, would the overall strength of Buddhism in the mortal world be so weak now?

Assuming that this speculation is true, a new question arises: why did Su Yan not kill himself on the spot after confirming that he had no backup plan, but instead allowed himself to escape from the fairy palace.

Is he worried that after killing himself, the cause and effect will return, causing him to temporarily lose his identity as the Lord of the Immortal Palace, and he will have to find ways to regain the recognition of the Immortal Palace?

The more Yan Tiancheng thought about it, the more confused his mind became, and the more he thought about it, the worse his mood became.

On the one hand, he told himself: Don't be too conspiratorial, don't scare yourself, Su Yan is not that powerful at all, maybe he is weak to begin with, he is just a deceitful person who has deceived everyone in the world.

But on the other hand, Yan Tiancheng felt that there was something wrong with him: none of the powerful enemies Su Yan had faced in the past were much weaker than him. No matter how he could deceive, he could still kill opponents in the Three Mysteries of Life and Death. Cheating to commit suicide?Not to mention there were so many onlookers watching.

No, no, these two people are definitely not the same person!

Yan Tiancheng couldn't accept that he had been deceived. He suppressed his anxiety and asked a few more people later. This old guy's words sounded unreliable.

"One last question," Yan Tiancheng's tone suddenly became colder, "Three days ago, there was a man standing in front of your stall. Do you know who he was?"

Since the position of Su Yan was determined by causal connection instead of spiritual perception, Yan Tiancheng did not know that there was a woman following Su Yan.

Of course, when he was escaping later, he spotted the white stream of light, but it was only a glimpse from a distance and he could not determine who it was. He was more likely to believe that it was a monk who saw the appearance of the Immortal Palace and took the initiative to find out.

The old casual cultivator's expression changed slightly. He smelled something dangerous. He quickly lowered his eyebrows and answered honestly: "I don't know."

Since the other party didn't ask about the woman, he didn't say much to correct her.

"Did you see him disappear in front of you?"

The old man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"What was his expression at that time? Surprised? Shocked? Or calm? Calm?" Yan Tiancheng's expression was solemn.

The old man frowned and thought about it for a moment, and then said slowly: "The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't deliberately observe the guest's expression at the time, but he was calm from beginning to end, giving people a feeling of confidence. "

No, Su Yan was already ready to eat soft rice.
"Did he immediately turn around and flee when he saw the Immortal Palace appear?"

"No." The old man answered with certainty, "Although the guest originally said he was leaving, he said it before the change happened. After the fairy palace appeared, his first reaction was to look up. sky."

Yan Tiancheng's heart sank more and more. In his opinion, this was another piece of evidence:
If Su Yan was really weak and suddenly saw the fairy palace coming, and it was probably the magic lamp that brought him here, his subconscious reaction at that moment would definitely be guilty, flustered, and he might even throw away the magic lamp and run away in a hurry.

But Su Yanming knew that there was something wrong with the magic lamp, so he actually took it back, and then he was caught by him and taken to the fairy palace. Doesn't this prove that he had premeditated it?

Now Yan Tiancheng resents his contempt and carelessness towards Su Yan at that time. You didn't notice such an obvious flaw? !
