Chapter Eighty-Seven: Checkmate
The long gray-white hair stretched for more than ten meters, spreading down from the thousands of joints on the wall, overflowing the cold ground, and connecting to the slender and ethereal figure in the middle of the Santu River.
She floated slowly in the amplification fluid that soaked her body, and scattered points of light passed from each strand of hair to her brain, and disappeared as she breathed.
Guanyin stared at Meng Po in the water through the huge glass cover, patiently waiting for the result.
After a while, Meng Po opened her eyes and did not speak, but replied through an electronic synthesized voice: "Master Guanyin, according to the characteristic parameters you provided, no matching soul records were found. ”
Guanyin bowed slightly, half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
In this way, the inferior scripture learner is not dead, and the Xuanzang he saw is not pretended by others. A review of the historical records of the Jinshan Mine has found no clues, and the possibility of soul transfer can also be ruled out. So, what is the reason that caused Xuanzang's behavior to change drastically, so that even she almost fell for the trick?
The problem first appeared in the fire of the Zen temple. After learning that Xuanzang was only faking his death at that time, Guanyin immediately came to the underworld and investigated the relevant dead people along the way. She soon discovered that among the early scripture learners, Yuan Ce's soul recovery time and the time when the body was found did not match.
The memories of the three entourages all show that Xuanzang has a wealth of knowledge that does not match his identity. The scripture learner's mind has pre-stored the survival knowledge to deal with the Journey to the West, which is the false news she deliberately released to Yang Jian. Xuanzang must have deliberately shown certain skills in order to cooperate with this lie after coming into contact with Yang Jian, and the further back he looked, the more natural this kind of knowledge was revealed.
Where did he learn it? He claimed to be a messenger, and in this capacity explained to Chang'an's entourage the source of his powers. But Guanyin knew very well that he had been living in the Jinshan Mine and had never had access to knowledge such as hemolysis or calcified water.
She began to regret that she hadn't repaid attention to Xuanzang earlier, and it wasn't until she discovered Yang Jian's intentions that she planned to reactivate the outcast. I thought that leaving a back hand was already one step ahead, but I didn't expect to encounter such a variable. Now it seems that although Xuanzang is out of Yang Jian's control, his position still seems to be biased towards that side, and he sent a helper to Yang Jian.
She even wondered if Xuanzang's fake death and Yang Jian's anger were also a play they co-starred in......
"Bodhisattva." Hui'an Walker, who was kneeling behind her on one knee, interrupted her thoughts, "The disciple has just returned from the investigation in Gaozhen, and it is confirmed that Tianpeng has been active in Gaozhen for many years, and his name and appearance have not been concealed, but the process of his recovery is still unknown. In addition, some residents in the town revealed that two days before the mysterious disappearance of the canopy, a bald man and a girl in white had inquired about him.
"These two people are suspicious, before they came, Tianpeng had been doing business in Gao Town, and his reputation was very high, and there were no bad rumors. But after they appeared, Tian Peng left Gao Zhen and participated in the Huang Fengling case. The disciple believed that they should be the other two fugitives, and it was they who bewitched Tianpeng. ”
Guanyin replied: "Yes, thank you for your hard work." Then he fell into deep thought again.
Tianpeng's rebellion is also related to Xuanzang, it seems that unlike the assessment of other gods, Xuanzang is the leader among the three people, the planner of a series of events.
As for the girl in white, the latest battlefield reports indicate that her true body is a liquid metal robot of the Heavenly Court. Each time the witness was killed quickly by her, leaving few memories behind, and it was difficult to make an accurate judgment. The only thing that is certain at the moment is that it is not the killer program that was originally installed with the machine.
And that black impermanence......
"Master Guanyin...... "The pot-bellied Hades hurriedly ran over and saluted her, "The things you ordered have been done, and after investigation, it has indeed been found that the underworld has created an unplanned impermanence to replace the escaped black impermanence. The enemy's methods are very clean, and they have forged a full set of logs, so that we have not been aware of it, and we are really guilty of death. ”
"The lord of the dignified underworld, why bother to talk about death?"
Hades, who was ridiculed, couldn't even hold his head up.
Guanyin ignored him anymore, silently pinched his fingers and handed over the information to his assistant brain. She divided her mind and thought about Xuanzang's affairs, and suddenly had an irrepressible worry.
She couldn't help but remember that many years ago, a similar incident had been issued.
In the 43rd year of the new calendar, the sensors laid on the small island in the east soil suddenly received a large amount of mutation data, and the monsters that had been pacified also suddenly attacked and destroyed the reincarnation network on the island.
The youkai was originally only a slightly more powerful metal lifeform, and they believed that it was only a matter of time before they fully understood its life mechanism. However, the progress of cracking the soul trait parameters was many times longer than the original plan, and the process was interrupted by this mutation, and those sharp increases in the index were confirmed to be not instrument errors, which made the gods have to consider recruiting the monster to make it easier to control.
At that time, it was also like getting some kind of apocalypse in an instant, from ability to words and deeds, it was like a different person, from a stubborn demon monkey with a little intelligence, to an awe-inspiring fighter.
Now that I think about it, it was all a precursor to a nightmare.
Guanyin closed her eyes and drove the Heart Sutra to get rid of these uneasy thoughts. Everything has passed, they are no longer the gods and Buddhas of five hundred years ago, and Wukong is still locked in that spatial rift, and countless countermeasures against it have been studied, and they no longer have to be afraid of it as they used to.
That invincible demon monkey is preparing to accept the same fate as the thieves around the golden cicada back then. It will be put into the journey to the west, and even the sharp edges and corners will eventually be smoothed.
"Muzha, follow me to the Five Fingers Prison to inspect the progress of the infusion of the Tightening Spell."
"Yes, Bodhisattva."
……
……
The Treasure Palace.
All the immortals have retired, leaving only the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian.
"The last time I refused, I can understand that it was a dark loss for Rulai. But in the past few days, the prism has consumed excess energy, what is the reason? The Jade Emperor said solemnly, "'Who will monitor these monitors', Erlang Zhenjun, this issue has been discussed since before the establishment of the Supervision Department, and I don't want to repeat it." ”
Yang Jian replied calmly: "The countermeasure procedure has not been initiated, which proves that I have not crossed the line." ”
"I must admit that your performance in recent times has made my trust in you begin to waver."
"The Ombudsman doesn't care about anyone's trust, which is why we leave our countermeasures to the process."
"People are unpredictable, but programs are not necessarily error-free." The Jade Emperor frowned, "The prism belongs to the Inspector, not you, Yang Jian." If you continue to resist, don't blame me for depriving you of your immortality. ”
Yang Jian was not moved: "A few rebels, worthy of such a threat from you?" ”
"They activated the Dijiang chariot, and it is very likely that it has something to do with the golden cicada. The stakes are high and urgent. The Jade Emperor stared at him, his voice falling to freezing, "You are so delaying the search, I have reason to suspect that you are colluding with the rebels!" ”
Yang Jian looked back at him without dodging, and the objects in the hall began to tremble slightly, and the battle was about to break out.
Eventually, he closed the weapon safety again, made a gesture, and passed the key to the Jade Emperor.
"If you want to see it, you can use it yourself, and I won't change the permissions until you find it." Leaving this sentence, Yang Jian strode away.
It's too late. In order to lock down the rebels' location as soon as possible, the Jade Emperor would definitely call on the maximum number of prisms to cross-observe, and within a day, those dark marks should be observed.
Although he doesn't know how to do it, Yang Jian can be sure that Xuanzang has the stealth technology for prisms. And he didn't know that the prism would be able to detect his movements.
Interference with prism imaging is generally not noticeable. But just like the ancient split-tip interference detection, if multiple prisms are used on the same area at the same time, the effect of the interference is multiplied enough to form a visible dark mark. Coupled with the fact that Xuanzang's recent movement speed has increased dramatically, the length of the dark mark will be more obvious.
He had observed the direction of Xuanzang's advance earlier and guessed his purpose. He wanted to notify the other party to cancel the operation, but at this juncture, he happened to be summoned by the Jade Emperor.
There are more important things to do, and you can't turn your face with the Jade Emperor right now. But Xuanzang can't be easily abandoned, the value of this mortal is being highlighted, and if you lose this chess piece too early, you will need to pay more when performing certain tasks.
What the hell is this guy doing in the Valley of the Two Realms? Send it to death!
Yang Jian pressed the side of his head and pondered bitterly.
Xuanzang, how can you stop yourself from participating in this defeated rescue?
