Chen San exchanged a few polite words with the other party, and got a general understanding of their situation.
The monk surnamed Liao is called Liao Sheng. He has a cultivation level in the later stage of Daoji. The other two, one is Xia Tongji and the other is Mu Yun, are also in the later stage of Daoji. This kind of cultivation is naturally good for dealing with ordinary people, but once When you meet a master, you feel a little bit unsatisfied.
Thinking of this, Chen San subconsciously glanced at the woman named Long Yue. This woman's magical power and strength could not be judged from the surface, but based on his intuition, almost instinctively, he realized that this woman was not easy to mess with. .
After Long Yue complimented him casually, he turned back to business and said, "What my lady means is that because of our weakness, we need to win unexpectedly, so she wants to invite a few of them to go and explore the rumored Yongzhen man. The secret place left by the master here."
Chen San frowned when he heard this, pressed his palms and said, "Wait a minute, that gentleman here in Yongzhen? Who is it?"
Not to mention Long Yue and others, even Lin Miao'er had a speechless expression and said: "Who else is there in Yongzhen Punishment Place? Isn't it Emperor Taihao, one of the Five Emperors? "
Chen San touched his nose and was speechless for a long time. This was of course due to his ignorance, because he had never cared about these things other than cultivation.
"The story of this great emperor is just a legend. Where can I really find it? Besides, even if it is true, after so many years, it should have been hollowed out by the three royal families in the Imperial City? It makes no sense that his direct descendants cannot be found, but we can Found it."
After a pause, Chen San asked calmly, but the question he asked was straight to the point.
Long Yue chuckled and said confidently: "Don't worry, we have been secretly investigating this matter for many years, and we already have a clue. In order to suppress the sinners in the Punishment Land, the great emperor used the artifact that he was born to before disappearing. The Taihao Pagoda remains in the depths of the turbulent flow of space. If something happens, future generations can use this power to quell the chaos. This matter is recorded in the classics of the three royal families, so it is absolutely correct."
"Yeah?"
Chen San responded calmly, with secret disdain in his heart. Even if it is recorded in the classics of the three royal families, this method is still illusory. Otherwise, if the three major royal families can rely on the power of Taihao Tower, how can the other families dare to act recklessly against it?
What Chen San fears most is that this Taihao Pagoda is just a cover used by Yuan Yao and others, and there are other reasons for actually going there.
"You can't blame him for being too cautious. Walking in the world of cultivation, if you are not careful, you may even lose your life." After thinking about it, he did not immediately agree to Long Yue to go with them, but said: "I dare to ask Miss Long, even if this news is true, what good will it do to us?"
Taihao Pagoda is just a legend after all, and Chen San is not optimistic about it. Besides, even if it wasn't a legend, Chen San didn't think they had much chance of conquering such a treasure, which was why he didn't believe the other party. It was like a group of ants trying to pick up a weapon used by a giant. It's just wishful thinking.
The people across from him obviously didn't expect that he would be so straightforward, and there was a slight dissatisfaction on Long Yue's face. He frowned and said, "I don't know what's in Taihao Tower yet. I have to find out before I know. Brother Chen, aren't you going to ask for wages first without doing anything?"
Chen San chuckled, cupped his hands, and said nothing more. He didn't want to fall out with the other party yet, so he said: "I don't know when this will be done."
"The young master is making arrangements. The specific time will be notified separately. Please stay here for a while. When the time comes, someone will naturally come to greet you."
Long Yue said calmly, the implication of this was that Chen San and the others were not allowed to go out. Chen San knew in his heart that after learning such a secret, if he and the two of them quit at this time, there would definitely be more trouble. The forces that are hunting them down.
Chen San would naturally not be stupid enough to fall out with the other party right away. After the two sides chatted in vain, Long Yue found a maid and took the two of them to rest.
Sitting in the courtyard, Chen San noticed the extremely obvious auras of divine power around the courtyard. Chen San smiled slightly. The one these guys were monitoring was blatant. They probably knew they couldn't hide it from the two of them, so they simply used "clear vision".
"Do you really believe what that woman said? Why do I feel unreliable?"
There was no one around, so Lin Miaoer said with a slight dissatisfaction. In her opinion, this matter could be noticed by anyone with some brains. It was a complete fantasy. Everything must be done in a certain way, and the goal should be higher. Wrong, but it would be a bit too conceited to suddenly reach a height that is completely beyond your reach.
"This is the situation they are in now. Either the other party is lying, or these guys are in a hurry and seek medical treatment, pinning their last hope on an illusory artifact without thinking about it."??Is the artifact accessible to ordinary people?
"wrong."
Chen San smiled lightly and said: "Because of this, I feel that what the other party said is somewhat reliable. Just imagine, if the other party wants to lie to us, they can make up a reasonable reason. There is no reason to say such a thing that seems completely unreasonable." Plan, this will only arouse suspicion. Besides, I don¡¯t think there is anything about us that is worthy of their efforts to deceive us. If the other party wants to deal with us, they can just do it directly. "
"But that is one of the five imperial weapons. Just like the major sacred weapons of us cultivators, they can evolve the world by themselves. How can we get our hands on such a thing?" Lin Miao'er still shouted in disbelief. road.
"Meet your fingers? Bang!"
Chen San sneered disdainfully and said, "You think too highly of them. These people definitely don't want to get involved, but they want to use this artifact to achieve something."
Lin Miao'er was startled, then suddenly realized, she patted her head and said: "Yes, they want to use this artifact, rather than possess it. This makes sense. They want to use this artifact." To destroy the other five tribes in one fell swoop?"
Chen San shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Who knows, anyway, we are just watching the show. Now I want to see what the other party wants from us Taoist monks!"
Thinking of this, Chen San sneered twice. According to common sense, for such a big thing, it is natural to choose an outsider or a monk who is incompatible with his own camp. Most of them will be cannon fodder.
But if the other party really dares to let them be cannon fodder, he doesn't mind giving the other party a big surprise.
After settling down, Chen San asked Lin Miao'er to practice in the space scroll while he stayed outside. Once here, he finally didn't have to worry about being chased and could rest peacefully.
It was night, Chen San was meditating in the courtyard, when an uninvited guest came to his door.
Seeing the other party, Chen San felt a little surprised, cupped his hands and said: "Fellow Daoist Liao came to visit late at night, what's the matter?"
Liao Sheng chuckled and said: "I have doubts in my heart and I don't want to sleep. I saw Brother Chen that you haven't rested yet, so I came to disturb you. Didn't I delay you?"
"It's okay, Brother Liao, please take a seat."
Chen San smiled lightly, knowing that this old weirdo came to visit at night and was definitely not idle. He was a little cautious in his heart and said with cupped hands: "I have something to ask Brother Liao for advice. Brother Liao came just in time." , you and I can have a good talk."
Liao Sheng laughed and said: "Brother Chen is so quick to talk, it's really rare. During the day today, there are many people talking, so I can't go into detail about some things, but I think based on brother Chen's intelligence, I can guess some of them. ?¡±
"What is Brother Liao referring to?" Chen San smiled lightly and kicked the ball back calmly.
"Ha ha!"
The monk surnamed Liao laughed loudly and said: "I have indeed seen the right person. To be honest with you, brother, I am actually murmuring about this matter in my heart. Speaking of which, the relationship between the Tianshan Department and us is not close. The other party only uses us because it is a helpless choice after no one is available, and they do not trust us much, so it is hard to say what kind of situation we will face after entering."
"Brother Liao, what do you mean?" Chen San asked with a half-smile. In fact, he roughly understood the other party's intention, but his face remained calm, insisting that the other party speak first.
"What I mean is, if we don't want to be cannon fodder and be treated as abandoned by the other party, we can only protect ourselves by joining forces."
Liao Sheng said solemnly, as if he was afraid that Chen San would not agree, and then said: "Brother, don't think that I am alarmist. If you stay here for a long time, you will know that in the eyes of these ancient survivors, we monks , they have never been the same kind, they don¡¯t care about our life or death.¡±
Chen San nodded, but then smiled and said: "Brother Liao, since you have so many scruples, why do you still agree to this?"
Liao Sheng shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said: "Brother, please don't laugh at me. Aren't I the same as you, forced by helplessness? Let me tell you another secret, the reason why this space is turbulent We can't open the space barrier from inside because of the suppression of Taihao Tower, so this time I want to see if there is any chance to temporarily deceive this artifact so that we can escape and go back. Although This chance is very slim, but it is worth a try, otherwise we will all have to play in this hellish place in less than ten years."
Chen San suddenly realized that he had ignored a problem all along. He had a space scroll, so the impact of space turbulence on him was not fatal. But for ordinary monks, living here was tantamount to committing suicide slowly. Sooner or later one day??When the true energy is exhausted and cannot be replenished, one will definitely die.
Therefore, once there is an opportunity at this time, even if it is just an illusory opportunity with only a probability of one in ten thousand, it is still worth trying.
Thinking of this, Chen San nodded slightly and said: "Yes, what Brother Liao said is true. We are both cultivators and we should help each other."
When Liao Sheng heard what he said, he was overjoyed and said, "Brother, you are really cheerful. Well, if we can succeed this time, we will be brothers from now on." (To be continued.)
