Chapter 15 The Tiger
Wanli Plain.
This is the largest plain in the west of Qixia Realm, with a vast territory, flat terrain and pleasant climate. Going west from here is the Sea of Storms, also known as the West Sea.
In the middle of the Wanli Plain, a land channel about 40 miles wide and nearly 800 miles long spreads towards the sea, dividing the offshore area of the Sea of Storms into two halves, and at the end of the channel is a huge floating island.
This is Moqiu.
It is said that long ago, Moqiu did not exist.
There was an ancient ferocious tapir that made waves in the West Sea area, causing people to live in dire straits. The mighty Guangfa Tianzun pleaded for the people and killed the vicious tapir. After the dead tapir died, it transformed into an island, changed the terrain, connected the island to the land, and connected the islands of the West Sea to the land. become part of the land. As a result, the area of the land expanded, forming a spectacle where the sea penetrated deep into the interior of the continent.
The earliest Moqiu people developed on that isolated island in the West Sea. They infiltrated to the mainland along the long sea channel, and finally controlled a large area of western land including the Wanli Plain.
In this way, Moqiu developed from an isolated island to a huge country.
On the east side of the Wanli Plain, there stands a lonely mountain, which is Tianshen Mountain.
The headquarters of Tenjin Shrine.
Tianshen Mountain is not a naturally formed mountain, but it is artificially created by the power of Tianshen Palace and the use of a lot of manpower.
The entire Tianshen Mountain is made of jade, about 2,800 meters high. Due to the doping of a large amount of rare metals, the entire mountain will shine golden in the sun.
This is the origin of the golden color of Tianshen Palace.
There is a splendid palace on the top of the mountain, which is Tenjin Palace.
But few people know that what is exposed on the top of the mountain is only a small part exposed outside the Tianshen Palace. In fact, the entire Tianshen Mountain is the Tianshen Palace - at the beginning of the mountain formation, the people of the Tianshen Palace completely cut the inside of the mountain. Inside the entire mountainside is a huge building complex, with five palaces and thirteen halls in total. This is where the real Tenjin Palace is located.
No thoughts palace.
In the meditation hall, Shi Wunian sat quietly with his eyes closed.
His breathing was long and powerful, and when he exhaled, the space in the meditation hall would make a humming sound, as if expanding outward. And when he inhaled, the meditation hall became introverted, forming a small vortex with Shi Wunian as the center.
As a result, the entire Zen room is in a wonderful rhythm with breathing, beating like a human heart.
Until a voice sounded outside: "Deng Yuqing from the Eagle Hall is asking to see Master Dayuan."
Stop breathing.
Shi Wunian opened his eyes slightly: "Come in."
With a wave of his hand, a door appeared inexplicably in the closed room with no doors on all sides.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a long beard entered the room, knelt down to Shi Wunian and said, "Yuqing has met the Lord of Great Wishes, may the Lord of Great Wishes live a long and healthy life, and enter Xiantai as soon as possible."
"Get up and sit down." Shi Wunian waved, a small stool was formed out of thin air in the quiet room.
"May the boy dare not sit in front of the Lord." Deng Yuqing said hastily.
"If you are asked to sit, you can sit, and you have worked hard all the way."
Deng Yuqing didn't dare to refuse any more and had to sit down.
Shi Wunian said: "How is Jinyu now?"
Deng Yuqing hurriedly replied: "The collusion between Da Daotang and Qijuemen is almost confirmed, but there is no evidence for them for the time being. The hall master is currently watching them personally, and immediately takes action if there is any change, but because of this, it is too late Come back, I have to let the subordinates come back."
"Hmm." Shi Wunian didn't react at all, he just responded lightly: "Where is Tiandu Mountain?"
"The general list is already available, and the relevant information has also been filed, and the follow-up collection is still in progress." Deng Yuqing took out a booklet and handed it over.
With a move of Shi Wunian's hand, the book automatically flew to him, flicked through it, and stopped on the seventh page.
The first name on the top came into view.
Tang Jie!
Shi Wunian stared at the name for a long time before saying, "What do you think of this person?"
"There is a lot of suspicion." Deng Yuqing replied.
"After so many years,
After spending so much effort, I have to say that there is a lot of suspicion. "Shi Wunian's voice was deep and cold.
Deng Yuqing did not rush: "Yes. What happened three years ago had a great impact on my Tianshen Palace. Although I thought it was the Moon Cleansing faction at the time, but after thinking about it, there are many doubts. But the biggest doubt is that if Tang Jie was originally sent by the Moon Sect to confuse my view of the Heavenly God Palace, so he is considered a dead man. After three years, the Moon Sect did not give him any rewards. It is unreasonable to punish him for a small contribution. Although it is possible that this was done for us to see, but if there is no benefit in the open, there must be some in the dark, but the fact is that according to the information we have found, the moon wash sect also secretly It didn’t help Tang Jie. Instead, it was the true biography battle two years ago. Tang Jie tried his best to help Wei Tianchong win an opportunity, but Nan Baicheng insisted on obstructing it... No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like what a dead man should do, he deserves it Treatment. If this is how the Xiyue sect treats the dead under the sect, then the dead under the sect will be chilled."
"Hmm." Shi Wunian murmured still calmly: "Then what then?"
"I re-checked Tang Jie's past action data, and found that this son acted prudently, without the high spirits that young people should have, but his temperament is still quite cheerful. Because the dead man repays the sect with his life, he knows that life is also good. You Ya, tends to be surly and rebellious, aggressive and aggressive. Therefore, in terms of temperament, Tang Jie is not like this kind of person. On the contrary, he can help Wei Tianchong stand out, which fully demonstrates his ability. A person like him, It should not be a dead man, and he will not be a dead man. If this is the case, then a reverse conclusion... can be roughly obtained."
Speaking of this, Deng Yuqing paused: "I don't think Changqing did anything wrong back then, but that kid was treacherous and vicious beyond our expectations. Of course, Changqing is not entirely to blame for this. His purpose has always been to find Tang Jie, found Bing Jian, but never thought that this kid would have the possibility of counterattack. Wrong judgment of purpose leads to wrong coping methods, this is also a common thing."
"Then this time, you shouldn't misjudge his purpose again, right?"
Deng Yuqing smiled: "That's natural. If it wasn't the case, why would Master Dayuan go to Xiaoyao Palace in person to persuade them to hold the Fairy Fate Meeting in Tiandu Mountain?"
Shi Wunian nodded his head slightly: "The bait has been dropped, and the fish has started to bite the hook. Whether you can catch the fish or not depends on you."
"This..." Deng Yuqing hesitated.
"What's the problem?" Shi Wunian opened his eyes slightly to look at Deng Yuqing, his eyes flickering, Deng Yuqing hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "That's right. If this son is really Tang Jie, then everything was him back then." The trap set. Those who can set such a trap will never fail to think of us, I am afraid that they will not carry the military sword with them. Changqing once captured Tang Jie, tortured him, and even imposed Ling Chi, but Tang Jie just doesn't speak a word. From this point of view, this son has a firm mind, and torture alone may not be effective. In addition, he has a secret method against soul searching, so even using soul searching techniques may not find anything. People are easy to catch, but the key is to find the military records. It is meaningless to catch people without obtaining the whereabouts of the military records. In the end, even if we get the military records back, given the current situation, it may not be possible. Open the big formation. And if he stays behind, if he is caught, the secrets of Tiandu Mountain will be exposed... We still get nothing."
"Then you mean..."
"Two ways. One is to wait for him to arrive, arrest him directly and continue to torture him. However, the hall master thinks this is the next best strategy. It may not be able to obtain a military lesson, it may not be able to open the big formation, but it may expose Tiandu Mountain. Another method. , I'm afraid I'm going to take some risks..."
Deng Yuqing did not continue, but Shi Wunian already understood what he meant.
He nodded slightly: "If Tang Jie is Tang Jie, then Shifang Valley must be his real destination when he comes here this time. And to break the Jiujue Immortal Execution Formation, he must have military skills. It will be impossible to hide the military sword again."
"exactly."
"However, there are risks in doing so. Once Tang Jie enters the formation before we catch him, we can only hope and sigh."
"Yes, this is where the risk lies. But the subordinates feel that this is nothing."
"Oh? Why?" Shi Wunian asked.
Deng Yuqing replied: "So Tang Jie is only at the Linghai rank now. Even with the military guide in hand and Xu Muyang's teaching, it is still far from enough to break the fairy formation with his current strength. But the Cangxiang Sutra was in the It was discovered after breaking through the first layer of the large formation, which means that the large formation is likely to be arranged layer by layer, and every layer can be harvested. If so, he only needs to break through the second layer to get what he wants. Yes. So I think that if Tang Jie comes, his real purpose should not be to completely enter the land of the ruins, but to test it out and break through the second floor at most. If this is the case, even if he is allowed to mix into the formation, Our losses are also limited."
Shi Wunian nodded again and again: "It makes sense."
"Actually, this subordinate has a more adventurous plan."
"explain."
Deng Yuqing said: "The matter of the soldier's treasure, I think it is a war. The key to the victory of this war is not Tang Jie, or even the soldier's mirror, but who can get the last treasure. All victories and losses are meaningless. After all, we once had a military guide, didn’t we also fail to obtain the treasure of the military master? Considering this aspect, the subordinates feel that we can be more lenient towards Tang Jie. Before he enters the core, there is no need to do anything to him. If necessary, we can even let our formation masters approach him secretly and give him pointers so that he can break through more layers, and we can use Tang Jie to break through the formation. Opportunity, observe the mystery."
Deng Yuqing's suggestion was more radical. According to him, instead of preventing Tang Jie from breaking the formation, he should help him break the formation, and use Tang Jie's hand to open the Jiujue Zhuxian formation. Even if it can't be fully opened, you can still learn the secret of breaking the formation from Tang Jie's method of breaking the formation.
Of course, the risk of this approach is also self-evident, even Shi Wunian couldn't help but frowned: "This is too risky. We don't know what is the arrangement inside the Jiujue Zhuxian Formation and what opportunities are there. I know. In case there is any internal mechanism that can stop us, or if there is any natural material and earthly treasure that Tang Jie gets first, even if we catch his people again, I am afraid that we will have little chance."
Some treasures are not to be kept on the body. Judging from the situation of the soldier lord returning to the ruins for ten thousand years, it is quite normal to have the ten thousand-year-level spirit fruit fairy grass. These things are already extinct in Qixia Realm. If Tang Jie ate them in one bite first, there would be nowhere for the shrine to cry that day.
"But it is also possible for us to solve this matter at once. May the Lord, our people have been active in the Tiandu Mountain area recently, which has already aroused the suspicion of Tianya Haige and Qianqingzong."
Shi Wunian still shook his head: "No, no, it's too risky."
"Then let's make a compromise. The Nine Absolute Immortal Execution Formation is divided into nine layers. I don't know how many years it will take for Tang Jie to break through the layers. Why don't you help him secretly and break through to the fifth layer. From the nine Judging from the aura leaked from the Absolute Execution Immortal Formation, there shouldn’t be any ten-thousand-year fairy fruit in the first five levels, and the real benefits are all within the fifth level. Let’s see how he breaks the formation first. With these levels, we have enough observations , wait until you grasp the problem and then take it down."
"There is no ten thousand year fairy fruit, and there is no ten thousand year spiritual fruit?" Shi Wunian said angrily, "Up to three floors, and then Tang Jie must be taken!"
"Yes." Deng Yuqing sighed in his heart.
In Shi Wunian's eyes, everything belonging to the Warrior Lord's Return to the Ruins should belong to Tianshen Palace, and any benefit that Tang Jie could take away from it would make him jump violently, feel heartbroken, and reluctant to let go.
It's no wonder that in a place like this, even the most common spirit grass has ten thousand years of merit, so how could he be willing to give it to Tang Jie.
However, because of this, Deng Yuqing thought it was necessary to open it quickly.
Even if Tang Jie opened his mouth to eat a large place in Nuo, the Lord of Guixu, how much could he eat?
As long as the big formation is opened, the rest will not all belong to Tianshen Palace?
In fact, this is not Shi Wunian being stingy.
It's just that he still doesn't like Tang Jie in his bones.
A little guy who is not even out of the ordinary, he can't even be called an opponent.
Deng Yuqing's analogy is correct, this is like a war.
One side is a powerful country, and the other side is just a small village.
You go and tell the king that you need to be prepared to pay a hundred thousand silver to defeat this village, and the king will only think you are crazy.
If you look down on your opponent, you will not make too much capital investment for an opponent. If you insist on solving an opponent that can be solved with one hundred taels of silver, it is a kind of incompetence and failure in itself.
Therefore, Shi Wunian's opinion can't be regarded as wrong, he can accept the idea of helping Tang Jie break through the two-layer formation, which is already a respect for Tang Jie. As for the method Deng Yuqing mentioned, it was too radical and too risky. Young people are always eager for success in order to make meritorious deeds, Shi Wunian is completely unacceptable.
