Chapter 174: The Cruel Truth
But when Yin Tiancheng walked into the cave, he was taken aback.
This is a huge cave that is wider and deeper, and there are countless night pearls inlaid on the rock wall, each of which is priceless and rare in the world, so that Yin Tian became dazzled and fascinated for a long time before he came back to his senses.
He fixed his mind and looked around, but he didn't see any figures in the cave, although the bright light emitted by the night pearl illuminated this place like day, but there was a lifeless atmosphere, which made Yin Tiancheng feel a little depressed.
He was immediately surprised to find that there were many stone statues lying in the cave, all of which were mutilated and dilapidated, apparently deliberately vandalized into this way.
Yin Tiancheng walked over to check on these fragmented stone statues, and when he saw the face of the stone statue clearly, the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble, because the appearance of the stone statue was the mirage demon Sun Wangye!
All the stone statues are mirage, judging from the degree of damage, they were destroyed by people with extremely powerful spells, it seems that this destroyer, like Yin Tiancheng, hates mirages very much.
At this time, Yin Tiancheng had already understood the reason, and the person who destroyed the stone statue must be the Deadwood Dao Chief.
He could imagine the scene at that time, when the Deadwood Daoist found the mechanism that opened the door, he entered the cave with him, and when he saw the stone statues all over the cave, he naturally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and then destroyed them to the fullest.
This also alarmed the mirage, who showed up and killed the respected senpai.
Then Yin Tiancheng saw that all the destroyed stone statues had words left on their chests, and they all had the same content: Sun Wangye's holy life is boundless.
This could not have been done by the mirage itself, but was engraved by the worshippers who worshiped him.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying inference came out of Yin Tiancheng's mind, and he could no longer control the anger in his heart, so he immediately shouted and threw dozens of balls of light one after another, destroying these stone statues for the second time.
The roar echoed in the cave endlessly, and the stone statues were all blown to pieces by Yin Tiancheng, shattered into stone slag, and could no longer see its original appearance.
He thought that by doing so, he could force out the mirage and fight this old demon, and at the same time confirm the judgment in his heart.
But Yin Tiancheng miscalculated, until the cave was silent for a long time, he didn't see the murderous mirage appear, and there was no trace of the flow of demonic energy in the air.
There is only one explanation for this, and the mirage has long since abandoned this place.
Although the Deadwood Daoist was sacrificed, his efforts were not in vain, and after that battle, the mirage demon never appeared in Ganzao Mountain again, which allowed the disciples of the Flying Feather Sect who did not know the truth to escape.
It wasn't until Yin Tiancheng angered this old monster that he reappeared in Ganzao Mountain, trying to take Yin Tiancheng's life, but he was repeatedly saved by the other party with his own ingenuity.
Yin Tiancheng, who understood it, left here in frustration, and the three monsters waiting outside the cave saw that he came back safe and sound, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation inside.
When they listened to Yin Tiancheng's story, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and they all said: "Great, we don't have to worry about it anymore, and no one will disturb our cultivation in the future." ”
Yin Tiancheng asked the snake demon: "Before the Flying Feather Gate was established, you were practicing in the mountains, so you must have seen something that many Flying Feather Sect disciples didn't know, right?"
Seeing that the snake demon nodded yes, he asked again: "When did the murderer of the Deadwood Daoist first appear in Ganzao Mountain?"
"It's been almost 200 years. ”
"Do you know the reason why this evil obstacle is eyeing the Flying Feather Gate?"
"What else can it be, isn't it just to absorb the cultivator's primordial spirit to increase one's cultivation. The snake demon said with trepidation: "This guy has no bottom line at all, so we are afraid that he will find out and use that cruel means to deal with us." ”
Yin Tiancheng was shocked when he heard this, because this was the same as what he thought when he destroyed all the stone statues, and he asked in a deep voice: "In addition to the Dead Wood Dao Leader, how many disciples of my Flying Feather Sect have been harmed by this evil obstacle?"
"Not much, like five or six. He seems to be a picky eater and is only interested in cultivators with high cultivation. ”
Then the snake demon stepped forward and said, "You must have heard that the Flying Feather Sect once had a disciple who turned into an immortal, right?"
Yin Tiancheng was suddenly startled as soon as he nodded, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be that these seniors did not become immortals, but killed that evil obstacle?"
"Yes, it's all the conspiracy of that old demon, he picked out the disciples who cultivated to be high, and then lied that he was a god, and came to cross the fate of people to become immortals, and then deceived them to a place where no one was brutally killed......"
Yin Tiancheng couldn't listen to it anymore, and he was trembling with anger.
It turned out that the Flying Feather Sect didn't have any cultivation secrets at all, and there were no disciples with outstanding qualifications, let alone a master of the Tao who had become an immortal.
The method used by the Mirage Demon to deceive the Flying Feather Gate was the same as the method he used in the Gucang Sect and Murong Mansion, this method was not very clever, but he tried it repeatedly, all because those immortal cultivators were blinded by their own greed.
Therefore, many of the heads of the Flying Feather Gate believed in the mirage and carved those stone statues to worship him as a god, until the Deadwood Daoist discovered the conspiracy and ended the deception with his own life.
Yin Tiancheng suddenly felt that he was a little lucky, if he didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, and was not interested in cultivating immortals, how could he keep a clear mind and not fall into the trap of mirages, otherwise he would have been deceived like others.
After saying goodbye to the three monsters, Yin Tiancheng went to Cang Songzi, took out the jade pendant, and asked him about the situation back then.
Cang Songzi recognized this as Uncle Shi's relic at a glance, and thought that Yin Tiancheng had recovered his memory, so he talked about many past events.
Yin Tiancheng listened quietly, and from time to time he asked about the grievances between the Deadwood Daoist and the previous head.
When he heard from Cang Songzi that these two brothers were originally brothers and sisters, but later became increasingly estranged for some reason, he couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, Yin Tiancheng knew that this was because the head of the sect was deeply bewitched by the mirage, and the Deadwood Daoist had doubts about this, and he suddenly realized that there was not much time left for him, if he couldn't improve his cultivation as soon as possible, the words he had said about avenging the unjust deaths and the like would be a wish that would never be realized.
So in the following days, he cultivated hard day and night, and Lu Wu also gave corresponding guidance from time to time, but no matter how hard he tried, Yin Tiancheng still found that his cultivation did not make much progress.
Finally one day, Lu Wu frowned and said to him: "Don't expect this, compared to normal humans, you have congenital deficiencies. It seems that before Wu Xian reshapes the Seven Spirits, you will not be able to achieve your wishes through normal cultivation. ”
Yin Tiancheng asked: "Are the ten materials on the prescription so easy to get? Far water can't save near fire, what kind of way do you think I should use to cultivate now is the right way?"
Lu Wu smiled and said, "Of course it's opportunistic, didn't you use it quite handily before?"
"You mean let me continue to copy other people's spells?" Yin Tiancheng understood.
The two were talking, and suddenly heard a disciple asking to see him outside the door, Yin Tiancheng hurriedly asked Lu Wu to turn into a cat, and then let the disciple into the house and asked him if he had anything important to report.
The disciple replied respectfully: "Senior Uncle Ancestor, the Liu Alliance Master of Tianxin Pavilion has sent someone to Feiyu Gate, and I heard that I am inviting you to go to Tianxin Pavilion to discuss important matters. ”
Yin Tiancheng secretly sighed in his heart: "Ah, I was about to find a chance to meet with this alliance leader, but he took the initiative to send it to the door!"
Yin Tiancheng hurriedly followed this disciple to meet the comer, he thought that this person was an old acquaintance Sun Quan, but when he entered the living room, what he saw was a middle-aged man who had never known each other talking to Xuanyang.
After Yin Tiancheng sat down and exchanged a few words with him, the middle-aged man took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yin Tiancheng.
Yin Tiancheng opened the letter and saw that the time for the triennial gathering of immortals was approaching, and Liu Rulong specially invited him to Tianxin Pavilion to jointly decide who to participate in.
After reading the letter, Yin Tiancheng said coldly: "This is a matter within the responsibility of the alliance leader, you Tianxin Pavilion can decide for yourself." Besides, Feiyumen has not joined the Immortal Cultivation Alliance in Cangzhou so far, so why does Liu Mengzhu need to ask for the opinion of an outsider. ”
The man hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Senior Deadwood, my Cangzhou Alliance didn't go to the first two Immortal Gathering Conferences for some reason, if you don't make a decision with my sect master this year, I'm afraid that no one will dare to go, and then the immortal cultivators of the entire Central Plains will laugh at me Cangzhou No one." ”
Yin Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask the middle-aged man further, but Xuanyang had already come over and told him the reason.
This gathering of immortals is a major festival in the Central Plains immortal cultivation world, it was created by the first grandmaster of the Shushan faction, and it was originally a gathering to facilitate the exchange of immortal cultivators from various states and discuss their cultivation experiences together.
But later, it slowly changed its flavor and became a place for each faction to show off its strength, so the alliance leaders of each state did not want to see other sects show off their might, and tried to arrange for several of the strongest immortal cultivators in the state to attend the meeting, the purpose was to let the people in their own territory be able to show off at the Gathering Immortals Conference, and then compete for more right to speak in the immortal cultivation world.
Yin Tiancheng heard Xuanyang's implication, and couldn't help whispering: "Although it was not explicitly stated in the letter, it was Liu Rulong who wanted me to participate in this immortal gathering conference to gain some face for him. ”
Xuanyang also replied in the same small voice: "Who said no, the Cangzhou Alliance is the weakest in Kyushu, and no one in the first two sessions had the courage to accept this post, if no one dares to go this time, the face of the leader of the Liu League will not be able to rest, and he may not be able to take it anymore." ”
Yin Tiancheng snickered when he heard this, and then said to the middle-aged man: "Recently, there have been a lot of trivial matters in Feiyumen, and Xuanyang is too busy to be busy, how can I have time to meet with Liu Mengzhu." ”
The disciple of Tianxin Pavilion was in a hurry, and hurriedly got up and said a lot of compliments and beautiful words, imploring Yin Tiancheng to go to Tianxin Pavilion, and even said that if Yin Tiancheng was too busy to have time, he could go back and ask the alliance leader to come to Ganzao Mountain to meet Yin Tiancheng.
"Haha, Liu Rulong is really afraid that I won't go. Yin Tiancheng laughed secretly, and when he saw that the shelf was almost set, he pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.
The middle-aged man was relieved, so he said goodbye and left with confidence.
