Chapter 563: The extremely cordial Yun Clan's Mansion
"Gurgling ......"
When I was about to arrive at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony Square in the center of Phantom Moon City, and saw the other children who had arrived early sitting on the ground eating, my stomach was also screaming, obviously hungry.
Only then did I remember that since I left the sea and no longer had the Water Avoidance Divine Bead in my mouth, I only cared about trying to find a way to enter Phantom Moon City and hurry, and I did forget to eat something, and without the help of the Water Avoidance Divine Bead, I had lost my special ability to skip meals for several days and nights.
So I understand that at this moment, I must hurry up and eat something to replenish my strength, lest I go back to midnight when the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony begins, but I don't have enough physical strength to participate, so I will be passive.
Fortunately, I looked at the moonlight and deduced that there should be at least an hour before midnight, that is, more than two hours, so there is still plenty of time for me.
It's just that what worries me is that there are no restaurants open in the neighborhood at all. Even the doors of each house were closed, without a single light, and it was obviously empty.
After all, tonight is the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony, and the Yin Qi is too heavy, so anyone who does not have children in the restaurant or family to participate in the Spiritualization Ceremony will leave the center of the city one day in advance, go to the outside of the city to take refuge, and only dare to come back after the Spiritualization Ceremony is over.
For those who have children at home, the men all accompany the children to the square to help meditate the mantra, while the women also go out of the city to hide, so I know that no matter which restaurant I go to, or which family I go to solve the problem of eating, I can only eat behind closed doors.
And even if there were restaurants open, and some of the residents had people at home, I couldn't go and buy food to fill my stomach because I had no money.
After all, I am the eldest grandson of the emperor who was imprisoned on an isolated island, and I had been searched in the palace before I came, so I didn't have any money or anything of value on me at all.
The only valuable jade pendant, that is, the identity jade pendant that can prove that I am the eldest grandson of the emperor, was also taken away by those royal shadow elite guards when I faked my death and left the island a week ago.
Of course, even if the jade pendant is still in my hands at the moment, I can't easily show it to the outside world, once my identity is revealed, even if I can exchange it for a sumptuous dinner, I'm afraid it is not impossible to belong to the last supper.
Thinking of this, I knew that the only way was to find a secluded place, preferably in a deep mansion compound, in a place where I would not be seen by outsiders, and let Bela Duoduo from the Pony Mansion in the wrench help me deliver some food, and then eat my stomach unconsciously so that I could have sufficient physical strength to participate in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony an hour later.
With this decision in mind, I took a quick look around and chose the direction of a house closest to me.
Because the houses in that direction are surrounded by tall walls, and are obviously rich and noble, they are relatively private, so I plan to choose a house from there and sneak in quietly to solve my dinner problem.
Along the way, I saw many other children sitting on the ground eating, and there was a circle of men sitting around them or around them, silently reciting the mantra.
I also saw that the men were all with their eyes closed, engrossed in chanting the Lock Yang Mantra, and they didn't seem to dare to be sloppy at all, presumably because they were worried that if they relaxed a little, they might cause the children to be guarded to lose the opportunity to participate in the spiritual ceremony due to the invasion of Yin Qi.
As for the children who were guarded, they were all eating while staring at the high platform of the opening ceremony in the center of the square not far away, obviously with the intention of achieving it.
I can also understand this, after all, this Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony can only be turned once in ten years, and not every child is lucky enough to participate.
Although participating in this kind of spiritual ceremony is dangerous and even pays the price of life, in line with the idea of wealth and danger, both children and their families are willing to gamble, in case they become the only lucky person in ten thousand, and from then on, they will return to their hometown, and it will not be in vain to live this life.
When I bypassed these children and their families and went to the mansion of the rich and noble, some of the children noticed my actions and had a lot of expressions when they saw me passing by them alone.
Some of the children were surprised, naturally they didn't expect that I would dare to come to the opening ceremony without a family escort.
And some of the children were sympathetic, obviously thinking that I was pitiful, and I didn't even have a family member to escort.
Even some of the children gave me a very contemptuous look at me and stopped paying attention to me, probably thinking that I was stupid, that I would die without a family escort, and that it was not worth their time to waste attention on me.
There are also children who gloat with a face of schadenfreude, presumably they also feel that there is one less competitor for him, and they are more sure that they will achieve a better ranking in this Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony, and they will be able to enter a better sect of immortal cultivation in the future.
Because as far as I know, every time the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony is held, the top immortal cultivation sects in the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent will send people to secretly observe and look for excellent disciples as the basis for selecting disciples after the ceremony.
In addition to the children who enter the top 100 at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony, children outside the top 100 will also be selected according to their various performances before the Enlightenment Ceremony.
Although some children were lucky in the end and entered the top 100, but because he behaved very cowardly before the opening ceremony, he was timid and afraid, and he couldn't even withstand the pressure and trembled and cried secretly.
On the contrary, although some children failed to squeeze into the top 50, they only had a minimum of five family escorts, and before waiting for the opening ceremony to begin, they did not cry or make trouble, were calm, determined, and had a heart far beyond most children.
So I know that a lone child like me will attract the attention of all major sects, after all, if you can come to this spiritual ceremony square where the yin qi is too heavy, or you don't know the height of the sky, and you can't do it enough to come to die.
Either it's a genius child who really has the ability and has great luck.
For other children, it's definitely good to be favored by various sects, but for me, it's not necessarily the case.
Who made me actually the eldest grandson of the emperor who infiltrated Phantom Moon City after faking his death!
The reason why I participated in the Enlightenment Ceremony was only to open the Spirit, and then I could officially start cultivating immortals.
I didn't plan to enter a certain sect to cultivate immortals.
After all, I am currently the eldest grandson of the emperor who is wanted by the whole country, although I have passed the test with fake death, I can't enter the gate sect to cultivate immortals in a grand manner.
After all, there are inevitably people in those top sects who are very familiar with the royal family, and if they recognize my identity, then my fake death will be exposed.
Second, I also plan to go to the Black River Valley to rescue my mother and the Yun clan after the opening ceremony.
So I knew I had to keep a low profile, find a secret place to hide before the ceremony, eat and drink enough, and be patient until the ceremony started.
In the process of participating, I also plan not to be too sharp and eye-catching, as long as I can open the spirit smoothly, there is no need to squeeze into the top 100, even if it is after a few thousand, so as not to attract the attention of people who care, but bring me unnecessary trouble.
It was with this idea in mind that I also tried my best not to attract the attention of others, and with the help of the moonlight, sometimes appearing and disappearing, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, I rushed to the mansion of the rich and noble.
When I finally came to the stone lion at the entrance of the first house, I was also secretly relieved, knowing that I would no longer be noticed by others at this moment, and I could continue to walk with confidence.
Next, for me, it is just to choose a relatively remote and quiet house, but I know that this house should not be too far from the square, lest it be self-defeating if I cannot return to the square on time to participate in the opening ceremony at about the hour.
With this in mind, I closed my eyes again, turned on my soul clairvoyance ability, and looked at this area of the mansion.
After carefully looking at five or six houses in the neighborhood, I chose one that was not far from me, relatively private and looked desolate.
Looking at the overgrown appearance of the yard, I was overjoyed, obviously this house has been uninhabited for a long time.
This is just right for me, and I don't have to worry about the owner of the house suddenly coming back and seeing me during my meal in the house, which will cause me unnecessary trouble.
After choosing this house, I opened my eyes and quickly rushed to the house according to the memory in my mind.
In about a quarter of an hour, I arrived at the door of the house without any problems.
I instinctively looked up at the plaque on the door, trying to see what the family's last name was.
I didn't expect to see a broken plaque, although I could vaguely see the word "house" on the plaque, but the word in front of it was no longer possible to confirm because it fell off, so I had to give up.
Since the door was closed, I tried to push it forward, but it didn't move, apparently the people in the house had locked the door when they left.
So, I silently recited the Yin Sword spell, condensed a dark blue light sword on the sole of my feet, and then controlled the sword to fly, intending to fly directly over the tall walls of the house and enter the courtyard.
Just as I flew near the plaque, I inadvertently used the light of the lightsaber under my feet to see clearly the front part of the word "Fu" on the plaque, although the front word peeled off, but there were still traces of bonding on the plaque.
When I saw the traces of that word clearly, I was also surprised in my heart, because that word was actually the word "cloud", that is to say, this house was actually Yunfu!
In this way, I have to suspect that this mansion is very likely to have something to do with my mother's Yun clan......
