Chapter 1287: North Out of the Bamboo Forest
Xiyue Temple is in the northeast of Wei State. Southeast of Qinku Academy.
To be more precise, it is in an ancient bamboo forest that is rarely visited by people.
This bamboo forest is deep and quiet, and this place is hardly marked on the maps of various countries.
The bamboo forest has no name, and people may call it Xiyue.
As a Buddhist sect in the world, Xiyue Temple is not like the Hanging Temple, which has a front and back mountain gate. It opens its vast Buddhist land to shelter believers. One temple is almost like a country.
The mountain gate of Xiyue Temple is hidden and not open to the secular world.
In this regard, Xiyue Temple is closer to Mount Xumi.
At this moment, Jiang Wang stood in the bamboo forest with a gentle breeze, listening to the rustling of bamboo leaves, and was actually a little confused about the road ahead.
Yu Zhen said that he should "get out" by himself, but after all, he was in Xiyue Temple and needed to cover up. So she sent him out herself.
It wasn't too complicated. He was just given a monk's robe and a cloak, and then led out of the mountain gate.
He didn't meet anyone along the way. I don't know if there were few people in Xiyue Temple or if they were all sent away.
In short, it was very smooth.
It was obvious that Yuzhen also had a good status in Xiyue Temple.
After taking him to the bamboo forest, she left gracefully without saying anything.
Jiang Wang thought quietly for a while, and first found a secluded place, and put the tattered Ruyi fairy clothes in the inner room so that it could absorb power and slowly recover.
Although Yuzhen said disdainfully that it was a rag, and although it was indeed always in a damaged state... but it was indeed the best robe on his body, and he couldn't disdain it.
Regarding the next road, Jiang Wang didn't rush to make a decision, but connected to the Taixu Illusion Realm, intending to understand the situation outside first.
Needless to say, the blessed land has fallen to Huxi Mountain, which ranks 47th.
The honor of being the first inner court of Taixu was also surrendered, and the first at this time was "Lingyue".
It seems that Zuo Guangshu has really worked hard during this period, and he should also be preparing for the mountain and sea realm. It's a pity that I can't go there, otherwise the power of the world's first inner court should be seen by the world...
There are many accumulated paper crane letters, Ning Jianke has three, all asking when he is free to spar. Calculating the time, it is about after Jingshitai announced that he is in touch with the devil, and no more letters came.
Zuo Guangshu has five letters, first asking what happened, then asking what happened, and then asking Jiang Wang to see the letter and reply, saying that he might be able to help... The letters ended on the day when Zhao Xuanyang tracked down Zhongshan Kingdom.
Chong Xuansheng has accumulated nine letters, and there is no extra words in the letters. They are all summaries of the current situation and suggestions to Jiang Wang... Those suggestions are so complicated that they simply don't trust Jiang Wang's own thinking at all.
For example, the most recent one -
"The emperor secretly replaced Wanyan Xionglue with General Cao Jie, killed Qi Hong, and broke Liyuan City. The world is in turmoil. If you have been rescued, it is not appropriate to show up in front of people for the time being. You can continue to hide. After all, your disappearance is very beneficial to our negotiations. If you are still held hostage by Zhao Xuanyang, or are trapped in other things, report to my address as soon as possible. If you don't see this letter... just pretend I didn't write it."
But after a few days of recuperation, the world has suddenly changed and has come to such a situation! It really feels like a lifetime ago!
Jiang Wang wrote a reply letter to Chong Xuansheng, with only nine words on it - "Zhao Xuanyang is dead, I am temporarily free."
After waiting for a while, without waiting for Chong Xuansheng's response, he exited the Taixu Illusion, identified the direction a little, and went to Muguo -
His first target location was actually the Hanging Temple. In Chong Xuansheng's letter, he already knew what Ku Jue had done for him, and even now, Ku Jue was still looking for him.
So he had to at least report his safety to Kujue first.
But firstly, if he went directly to Kujue, he would be easily discovered by Jingguo. Secondly, Kujue was looking for him all over the world, and his whereabouts were uncertain. If he could not disclose his identity, he might not be able to find Kujue.
Fortunately, the whereabouts of Monk Jingli were fixed. As Kujue's beloved disciple, Jingli should have a way to contact Kujue.
In addition, after going to the Hanging Temple, it would be easy to return to Qi, which is a safer choice.
But it is not that simple to go from Xiyue Bamboo Forest to the Hanging Temple.
The battle of Liyuan City has settled, but it is just the beginning of the war...
The war of Mu Jing!
After Muguo captured Liyuan City, both Mu and Sheng continued to increase their troops.
Shengguo and Jingguo behind Shengguo would never recognize the outcome of Liyuan City. Muguo finally broke the "tip of the knife" of Shengguo and wanted to drink water from the Central Region, so naturally they would not give in.
What would be the result if the two hegemonic countries collided head-on?
The scorched earth river valley plain may be an answer.
The vast space between Jingguo and Muguo, including the northern and central regions, may become a battlefield.
There are countless eyes staring at this place.
For safety reasons, Jiang Wang never intends to cross this area.
In this way, it is the most reliable route to go around the rear of Muguo and enter the eastern region via Quguo.
He can't cross the long river again, run to the southern region, and go back to the eastern region from the southern region. That is farther and more unsafe.
In addition, passing through Muguo, he can also meet Xiaowu and tell him that he is safe, so as not to worry.
This route seems complicated at first glance, but it is the result of Jiang Wang's careful consideration after carefully judging the situation.
……
It was at night when Chong Xuansheng replied.
At that time, Jiang Wang was wearing a cloak and an ordinary brown linen robe, and had already traveled a long way - the monk's robe that Yuzhen had covered him with had naturally been changed early.
It's not an embarrassing matter like women's clothing. The blue-grey monk's robe is a unisex style and does not differentiate between men and women. It's just that Muguo is a country that practices Shinto, and the Cangtu God's family is the only one, so they don't have much favorable impressions of monks and Taoists.
He dressed the way he did just to avoid trouble.
After finding a hiding place and entering Taixu Illusion again, I saw Zhongxuan Sheng's fat paper crane staggering towards me.
Jiang Wang didn't read the letter and directly opened the galaxy space.
Not long after, the two met again in the bright galaxy.
A small pavilion is erected across the galaxy.
The two of them sat across from each other, there were no tears in their eyes, only the joy of surviving the disaster.
Chong Xuansheng looked at him with a strange look on his face: "Did you kill Zhao Xuanyang?"
Jiang Wang sighed: "I have no choice."
The fat on Zhong Xuan Sheng's face wrinkled up: "Can you stop bragging so much in front of your brothers?"
Jiang Wang:......
He really didn't want to brag this time. Yes, he did regret Zhao Xuanyang's death.
But there is no way, the truth is already like bragging, who is to blame?
Jiang Wang could only sigh again: "You don't understand me, I don't blame you. I only blame myself for being too strong, beyond the scope of your understanding."
"Enough is enough, you!" Chong Xuansheng slapped the stone table, and the fat on his face shook.
"Okay." Jiang Wang said helplessly: "Actually, the reason why I can kill him is because..."
"Stop!" Zhong Xuansheng quickly made a stop gesture: "I don't want to hear how you killed him. I'm afraid of ruining the pure impression of brother in my heart."
Although I understand that this is because Chong Xuan Sheng does not want to explore his secrets, but these words... why do they sound so weird?
Over there, Zhongxuan Sheng had already said: "We are only discussing the follow-up of this matter now."
Jiang Wang thought for a while, then said: "I'd better tell you the story in detail, so as not to make you confused and confused."
"Huh." Zhongxuan Sheng said in surprise: "If you don't know what I'm thinking, how can you say it's a mess?"
Looking at this familiar fat face, my fists felt a familiar itch.
"Let's talk somewhere else?"
"I don't."
After all, he is a person who has survived a catastrophe. When he looks back at the world, he has become a lot more tolerant...
I expected you to be stupid, and I expected you to behave this way when you saw me.
Jiang Wang unclenched his fist and smiled openly: "The situation at that time was like this..."
In this way, he recounted what happened in the ancient devil's cave. Including Zhao Xuanyang who received the order to kill him, including the real blood puppet Song Wanxi, including the Seven Hate Demonic Skills, including the black-clothed demon clan... Only Yu Zhen, out of some kind of psychology that he couldn't explain clearly, just said He was an old acquaintance from Xiyue Temple.
"You mean, you have a real demon fighting force at hand?" Chongxuan Sheng was stunned.
Even though he was from a famous family and had extensive knowledge, he couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Wang's fortune.
Thinking about this, Jiang Wang's process of surviving from death and capturing the real blood puppet in the duel between Zhuang Chengqian and the Bone Evil God was so thrilling!
"Currently, we can only have the opportunity to summon him in the Ancient Demon Cave." Jiang Wang corrected: "I will not try again unless it is absolutely necessary. So it can be said that it is equal to nothing."
Having already attracted the attention of the terrifying black-clothed demon clan, it is undoubtedly a foolish act to regard the real blood puppet demon as a reliable method.
Chong Xuan Sheng suddenly laughed: "It's so interesting! Eight real people in this world went to the Wumandu Mountains together, not missing a single trace, but in the end they came up with a result that was thousands of miles away from the topic!"
"It's not too far off topic." Jiang Wang said: "It is true that a third party took action, but that third party is in the Tomb of the Ten Thousand Realms."
"Yes, yes." Chongxuan Sheng said with a smile: "And that old acquaintance of yours who can hide it from real people!"
At this point, he narrowed his eyes: "Why do I feel that this so-called old acquaintance is Qiao Yanjun again?"
Jiang Wang just said: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!"
Zhong Xuan Sheng thought for a while and said: "Then the matter is like this -"
"In order to avoid Ku Jue's pursuit, Zhao Xuanyang took you hostage and hid in the Ancient Demon Cave. You stayed in the Ancient Demon Cave for a few days, and then, for some reason you didn't know, a real demon suddenly came across the border. Zhao Xuanyang drew his sword and fought with him. In During the battle, you were shot through your organs, breaking the Wufuhai, and fell into a coma. When you woke up, you found yourself in a barren mountain, and your injuries had been destroyed. It has been dealt with, but you don’t know who saved you, and you don’t know what happened in that devil’s cave afterwards..."
"I don't know anything?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Of course you don't know." Zhongxuan Sheng said: "How else can you explain your blood puppet true demon?"
"Why not say that Zhao Xuanyang is dead and that the real demon took his body to the Tomb of the Ten Thousand Worlds?"
Chong Xuan Sheng Leng said: "It's better to leave some suspense about his life and death, lest someone goes crazy... and you don't know anything!"
"Will others believe it?"
"Qi people must believe it, because you must be innocent! Especially in the current situation." Chong Xuansheng asked: "As for other people, does it matter whether they believe it or not? After this matter, is there anyone who can search your soul and test you? clean?"
Jiang Wang smiled bitterly: "If there is a way to prove innocence without damaging the soul, I would like to give it a try!"
Chong Xuan Sheng heard the distress in these words.
As the entire incident has developed to this point, the most innocent person is Jiang Wang himself.
But now he has to lie to protect himself, because he has understood: In this world, you can be innocent unless you are really innocent!
Anyone can be falsely accused of being a demon for anything, and a blood puppet, the real demon Song Wanxi, is enough to beat him beyond redemption.
"Jiang Wang." Zhong Xuansheng looked at him and said seriously: "You are so dazzling, you don't even realize how dazzling you are. Wang Yiwu is your defeated general, and Tianya Terrace is your name." Stepping Stone, after the meeting of the Yellow River, you are already the rising sun! Do you know how many pairs of eyes are watching you?"
"Everyone can see you, everyone will see you. As soon as the eyes fall, the impact has already occurred. Goodwill is gentle, while malice is dazzling. So goodwill is often forgotten after seeing it, but malice will be accumulated. , infinitely amplified.”
"It will make you depressed, make you doubt yourself, make you feel wronged and angry. If you feel that you are the enemy of the whole world, you might as well look around you. There are always many people who support you and there are always many people who believe in you."
He pointed at himself: "At least these few hundred pounds of fat I have will always be on your side."
I didn't expect that Chong Xuan Sheng would say such words.
Perhaps the pursuit of Jingshitai this time also left him with lingering fears, right?
It is indeed a very difficult journey from Zhaoheng City to the Ancient Demon Cave in the Wumandu Mountains. The most difficult thing is not the powerful opponents and the dangers encountered, but the stigma and too much hostility that must be endured at the same time.
It's the kind of grievance with no way to appeal, the kind of resentment of "How innocent am I?"!
Thousands of people pointed it out and died without any disease.
How can one survive being hated by everyone?
Hatred, disgust, and grievance will either kill a person or kill his heart. After being hit by these painful negative effects, all that is left is often devastation... even if he is alive, he is a completely different person.
This leads to anger, resentment, and hatred of the world... It is really common.
"Hundreds of pounds of fat!" Jiang Wang took a breath: "No wonder it's so greasy!"
"I really miss the time when I first met you!" Chong Xuan Sheng said through gritted teeth.
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows: "I was still used to you back then, right?"
Chongxuan Sheng said quietly: "You couldn't beat me at that time."
"Hey!" Jiang Wang laughed: "Are you trying to beat me up? Don't say I won't give you a chance. How about a walk on the sword discussion stage? I'll give you one hand."
If you give up one hand in battle, your combat power will be almost halved.
The fat on Zhong Xuan Sheng's face trembled, and he was obviously a little moved: "Let me give you the hand holding the sword?"
Jiang Wang said openly: "I told you I'd give you a chance, so let me give you whichever hand you want!"
Chong Xuan Sheng suddenly sneered: "So you have already achieved Tianfu!"
"I just thought, how could it be that easy?" Jiang Wang said with an innocent look.
Zhong Xuansheng laughed loudly: "Originally, I was only 30% sure, but now I am 100% sure! You Jiang Wang looks like a human, and you don't want to do human things. You play dirty with me!"
Jiang Wang couldn't figure out where he was exposed, and couldn't help but ask: "When did you find out?"
Chong Xuan Sheng's laughter suddenly stopped and he said coldly: "Now."
Jiang Wang:......
This serial fraud is really annoying!
Chong Xuansheng asked again: "Now that you have achieved Tianfu, have you engraved the Taoist skills of your fifth mansion?"
Jiang Wang shook his head truthfully: "The Fourth Inner Palace didn't even have time and couldn't find a suitable one."
"Okay." Chong Xuansheng smiled: "You find a place to hide first and hide your identity. I will go and ask for some benefits from you."
Jiang Wang was stunned: "Who do you want it from?"
"You deserve to be in trouble!" Chong Xuansheng said with a look of hatred on his face: "Didn't I tell you already? Da Qi is putting pressure on Jing Guo in the name of your seeking justice."
"so what?"
"So you can't show up in front of others yet. You have to hide yourself and play your role as the missing genius!"
"I know." Jiang Wang nodded: "I'm pretending right now!"
Chong Xuan Sheng let out a long sigh: "You are the most dignified and powerful person in the world, Jiang Qingyang, with unparalleled integrity. You are worthy of heaven and worthy of the earth. You are a peerless genius and a good man in the world! How can you hide your head and show your tail and make the world laugh at you?"
Jiang Wang didn't take it seriously: "Hey, what's the matter..."
Zhong Xuansheng had already interrupted him seriously: "Unless you add more money!"
Jiang Wang sat up straight in an instant and replied in the same serious tone: "You are right, I did sacrifice too much!"
Two-in-one, gone at night~
In addition, I very formally recommend a book to everyone and a book recommendation account.
I’ve pushed it a few times before, but figured more people might see me now, so I pushed it again.
The book is "Sword Soldiers Crossing the River", which was a book that we recommended to each other when the results of the Chixin Sky Survey were sluggish.
At that time, I was a reader with the ID of "The Book Desolate I'm Now Desolate One B" (who is also the leader of the Sword Soldiers Alliance). His grades were too low after reading this book, so he took the initiative to help me ask for a recommendation from the Lazy Fall boss.
The Lazy Fall Guy's book was already very popular at the time, but none of us knew about it yet.
This mutual recommendation brought us the leader of the alliance, Iceman Sword, Polar Bear.
The official name is "Chi Ji's Book Relief Center", and it was also when Chi Xinxun Tian was unknown that he promoted this book for one issue.
This tweet brought many new readers to Chixinxiantian.
Whether it's Lazy Fall or Red Halberd, we have never communicated before.
I am grateful for their support during this book's slump.
"Swordsman Crossing the River" is a solid Xianxia novel.
Chi Ji is a responsible book promoter.
I sincerely recommend them to everyone.
