Chapter 391: Chess Pieces

In the early morning, the sun was shining, and the big man took Yin Tiancheng out of the dark room to his new residence.

Out of the dark room, Yin Tiancheng realized that he was imprisoned under the seven-story ancient tower of an isolated island, surrounded by a lake and water.

On the shore, you can see green farmland and villages half-hidden in the woods.

Farther away, it was gray and foggy, making it impossible to see the horizon.

After getting into the boat, the big man propped up his sails and sailed straight to the southeast by the wind.

Boating on the sparkling lake, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but feel a little envious when he saw those busy fishermen putting away their heavy fishing nets and happily selecting fish and shrimp along the way.

But it didn't take long for him to notice that the atmosphere was a little different.

As long as there were fishing boats passing nearby, Yin Tiancheng noticed without exception that the fishermen who saw him had surprised expressions on their faces.

After the end of the year, these tanned fishermen invariably put down their work and bowed to Yin Tiancheng or took off their hats, and some even wanted to paddle over and talk to him after saluting, but they were strictly stopped by the big man.

Even after Ye Xiaozhou left, Yin Tiancheng could still feel that those fishermen were pointing behind his back and talking about it, as if he was a great big man, and he was patrolling in micro-service at the moment to observe the people's feelings.

"Don't be scared, the fishermen just mistook the wrong person, thinking that you are the great hero who stands up to the sky in their minds. ”

Seeing that Yin Tiancheng looked a little proud, the big man sneered.

Yin Tiancheng retracted his expression, turned his head to look at the other party, and said, "When they saw me, they thought it was Hou Yi coming?"

"Yes. ”

While paddling, the big man replied, "Our ancestors have lived here for generations, just to wait for King Yi to return again. ”

Yin Tiancheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Your ancestors have lived on this land for hundreds of years, right?"

"Far more than that, at least a thousand years, since the fall of poor countries, we have moved here to live and multiply. ”

"For these men are descendants of poor nations. ”

Yin Tiancheng secretly sighed in surprise, and then asked, "Is this what Xun Chi said, or is it the historical record in your genealogy?"

The big man looked at him, and suddenly laughed: "Hehe, I am the one who witnessed the incident, can I not know?"

"Haha, don't tell me you're a god too!"

Yin Tiancheng also laughed out loud, although the aura he felt from the other party was a little weird, but it was still the vitality that an immortal cultivator possessed, so he smiled at the words of the big man.

"I'm not a god, I'm just a human being who lived for more than 1,500 years. The brother you quarreled with yesterday also lived a long life, and he was only two years younger than me. ”

Yin Tiancheng knew that the brother he was talking about was the middle-aged strong man, and the sneer on his face had quietly turned into a sneer.

"I know you don't believe it, but it's true. The big man said lightly: "The reason why we can live for so long is because we have eaten peaches." ”

Pan Tao Yuan, located on Kunlun Mountain, is a sacred place under the jurisdiction of the Queen Mother of the West.

The peach tree in the garden blooms and bears fruit once every 9,000 years, it is said that people can become immortals after eating, even those peaches that are not good, green and ugly, can live longer by a thousand after eating.

On the surface, it sounds like there is no loophole in what the big man said, but Yin Tiancheng still doesn't believe it.

The reason is very simple, the peach is a special food that can only be enjoyed by the gods, and mortals have never even seen it, let alone taste it.

If human beings want to enter the Pan Tao Garden, they must first have the ability to climb Kunlun, but that sacred mountain is an insurmountable forbidden area for human beings, except for Hou Yi, who has been demoted to mortality, no one in the world can enter this sacred mountain.

If there was such a powerful person in the world, Lu Wu, who was guarding the Kunlun Mountain Gate, would have told Yin Tiancheng a long time ago, which turn would be the turn of the big man to brag here.

"Do you suspect that I haven't eaten a peach?" the big man just smiled and said, "Of course I don't have the ability to pick a peach, it is a gift from King Yi to our brothers." ”

Yin Tiancheng was speechless, of course Hou Yi had this ability, he had gone to Kunlun to ask the Queen Mother of the West for the elixir of life, and it was not surprising to ask for a few more peaches before leaving.

But he couldn't tell if the other party was lying, so he had to ask from a different angle: "Why did Hou Yi do this, are you his relatives?"

"Hehe, how can I have such a blessing. In fact, our brother was ordered by King Yi to assist the three adults Taifeng, Xunchi and Wuluo to guard this place, and it is impossible to do it without enough lives. ”

Yin Tiancheng rolled his eyes and asked again, "What kind of place is this?"

"Everything you see is a shelter built by King Yi Immortal with divine power before his death, which can protect the people from living happily from the outside world. ”

"It's mysterious, I've never heard of such a shelter in the world. ”

"The truth is that even the gods don't know that Dongyi has its existence. Because the shelter is covered by King Yi's barrier, outsiders cannot detect its location. And we can only live here, and we can't leave. ”

"You can't get out, how is this possible!" Yin Tiancheng was surprised, but more suspicious.

"When you stay here for a long time, you'll naturally get bored and try it. ”

The big man replied indifferently: "But I can guarantee that no matter where you go from without turning a corner, you will return to the same place in ten days." ”

"Is this an enclosed space? What's the difference between that and a prison!"

"It is many times better to go to prison than to stay in a poor country, where there is darkness and hell. ”

"Why do you say that, do you know very well about the recent situation of a poor country?" When he said this, Yin Tiancheng did not forget to peek at the other party.

"I said that I couldn't get out, how could I know what was going on in the outside world. ”

The big man didn't react at all, as if he didn't notice that Yin Tiancheng was peeping.

He continued: "This is the news that Lord Xun brought to everyone. After the fall of a poor country to an enemy-occupied area, the current kings and officials are all doglegs sent by the old Wang Ba of Emperor Jun. They never cared about the suffering of the people, and their only interest was in persecuting my fellow citizens. ”

"Didn't you just say that no one in the shelter can get out, does Xun Chi have the ability to open the eyes of the sky, look up at the sky, look down at the netherworld, and know the state of the world?"

"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you. ”

The big man smiled awkwardly, and immediately gave a detailed explanation to Yin Tiancheng.

"King Yi has already thought about this problem, so when we set up the barrier, let it open a rift for a short time at a fixed time each year, so that we can easily establish contact with the outside. ”

"Based on the factors of secrecy and security, the phenomenon of space-time distortion will occur in the rift at all times, so except for Lord Xun and a few other gods, whether everyone else goes out or enters, as long as they step in, their souls and bodies will be devoured. ”

"Yes, then how do you explain the fact that nothing happened after Miss Nangong and I came in?"

Yin Tiancheng's doubts deepened, and he once again seized the loophole in the other party's words and asked further: "I remember Xun Chi said that the mysterious man wearing the mask successfully sneaked in four times in a row, what is your explanation for this?"

"This is exactly the strange place, so seeing the appearance of strangers, we are going to capture you and hand you over to Lord Xun for interrogation. ”

"You actually treat me like a thief, do I look like a bad person?" Yin Tiancheng joked.

"This is a normal precaution, but if it were you, the means might be heavier. ”

After a pause, the big man said again: "But now it seems that you have initially gained the trust of Lord Xun. ”

"Really?" Yin Tiancheng smiled: "I didn't say anything, why did Xun Chi change his opinion?"

"Because you have the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang in your hand, we can not trust the female girl, but we will definitely trust Yu Ying. If she can give you half of the jade pendant, it proves that you are not a bad person. ”

"Why do you believe in Yu Ying so much?"

"Personally, Fairy Yu Ying is the kindest god I have ever seen in my life, and she has a pair of pure eyes that no other living person in the world can have. ”

Yin Tiancheng turned his head, stared at him, and said with deep sympathy: "I have witnessed her kindness, and it is indeed unparalleled. ”

At this time, the boat was docked on the shore, Yin Tiancheng jumped off the boat, and walked forward with the big man.

Not far after walking on the path, Yin Tiancheng stopped, his eyes fixed on the plants on both sides of the road.

Seeing that he seemed to be staring at a bush in a daze, the big man smiled and said, "This is the coriander who cured your heart-devouring poison." ”

Yin Tiancheng's eyes were straight, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The flowers and trees on both sides of the road, except for the coriander flower, other plants, whether they recognize or not, have been seen in the back garden of the female leader before.

He knew that it was not a coincidence, this could only show one problem, many plants unique to Dongyi appeared out of thin air in the death desert of thousands of miles in the red land, and it was definitely not for anyone to get along with the female squirrel, but for himself to see.

After thinking about this truth, Yin Tiancheng was stunned for a long time, and there was an indescribable fear in his heart.

It turns out that all the things that have happened around me over the years are not coincidences, they are all carefully arranged bureaus.

He turned out to be a chess piece pinched in his hand, and he moved forward step by step according to the intention of the chess holder.

"If a god is determined to accomplish something, he can lay it out thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years in advance, and then patiently wait for the result!"

What Xun Chi said to him a few hours ago exploded in Yin Tiancheng's mind like thunder at this moment.

He felt his heart beat faster, his breathing heavily, and a frustration in his eyes that he had never felt before.

In the face of such a terrible opponent, Yin Tiancheng was not sure that he could win the other party.

But how can he admit defeat easily, he wants to let the guy who is hiding in the dark know that even if he loses, he must try his best to create a mess so that the other party is not satisfied!

Yin Tiancheng suppressed his unwilling mood and said to the big man: "If we can put aside our prejudices and cooperate with each other, it will be beneficial to both sides." ”

Confused, the big man asked, "What do we need to cooperate with?"

"I'll help you investigate the true identity of the masked man, and you will help me unlock the secrets hidden in the dragon and phoenix. ”

Yin Tiancheng already had a hunch that he didn't have to go to a poor country, but it was very likely that he would learn the secret of the dragon and phoenix here.

"I can't be the master of this matter, you should tell Lord Xun. The big man replied frankly.

"Then you can take me to see Xun Chi now. ”

"Lord Xun said that I will meet you in two days, why rush for a while. ”

"Things have changed and we don't have to stick to what we agreed before. ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, tomorrow we will hold a centennial sacrifice here, Lord Xun is starting to prepare for related matters, he doesn't have time to discuss it with you in detail. ”

Yin Tiancheng was silent, and he now knew why Xun Chi said that he would wait two days to visit him.
