Chapter Eighty-Nine: Promise
In the early morning, the capital was boiling.
The streets and alleys are crowded with people. All kinds of vendors, carrying their own gadgets and pushing their own carts, followed the flow of people to the imperial city in the center of the capital.
The Eastern Dynasty has a stable life, and the competition is a rare event.
The Yang family specially rented an extra carriage, and a group of more than a dozen people also walked in the direction of the imperial city.
Yang Tianchen had already said a few days ago that on the day of the martial arts competition, he needed to complete the things arranged by the Venerable Master. So there was no companion, so let Yang Xiaoru follow Yang Hong and go to see the excitement together.
Alone, riding a horse, he left the Yang family's shop.
The Yang family talked and laughed along the way, discussing the matter of this martial arts competition, Yang Dingtian and the others were also happy, and they didn't plan to keep the money saved, so they went to the side stalls to press a few bets to have a good time. Waiting for Yang Tianchen to appear, of course buy them all. It's not that Yang Tianchen can overwhelm the crowd, so he wants to show an attitude, and the Yang family trusts his family.
"Phew!" a man arrived on horseback and stopped the Yang family's team.
Yang Dingtian stopped his horse, stopped talking and laughing with the elders, and looked at the people who stood in the way.
The latter rode a sassy horse, dressed in clothes that were even more luxurious, and if you look closely, her posture is extraordinary, and those who practice martial arts have the pinnacle of Nirvana.
The people who came dismounted and walked forward.
Yang Dingtian didn't dare to be abrupt, and also dismounted.
"Dare to ask, but it's someone from the Yang family in Gushan?" the man asked politely, clenching his fists.
Hearing this, Yang Dingtian did not hesitate, and also hugged his fists and said, "Exactly, dare to ask Brother Tai what is the matter with my Yang family?"
The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, Tianchen Gongzi is here?"
Yang Dingtian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and instead of answering directly, he asked, "I don't know what Brother Tai is?"
"Below is the people of the West Palace, and the old prince ordered him to come down to find Tianchen Gongzi to return to the house, and he has something important to ask. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at each other, not knowing why.
Yang Dingtian also felt strange, frowned, and looked at the person in front of him.
"Brother, Tianchen is not here. Yang Dingtian said.
"Not here?" the man was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Didn't Tianchen Gongzi return to the Yang family a few days ago? I went to the Yang family's shop before I came, and there was no one, how could I not be here?"
"Brother Tai, Tianchen separated from us before, saying that His Holiness had something to arrange, and he should have gone to the Xiwang Mansion. ”
The man was even more surprised, he was sent by Yangui, how could there be such an oolong thing.
"Tianchen Gongzi is really not here?"
Yang Dingtian's face sank.
"Why should I lie to you? Everyone is here, it's just a carriage, why don't you go and search it?"
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's abrupt." Maybe I really missed it, so I won't bother, go back to find it again, and say goodbye. ”
So saying, the man turned, mounted his horse, whipped his whip, and galloped away.
Watching the man leave, Yang Dingtian's brows couldn't help but lock.
"What's the matter, master, has something happened to Tianchen?"
"What can happen to Tianchen is this person's own problem. Yang Dingtian didn't have a good breath and said, "Venerable, are you still afraid that Tianchen will not be able to go back?" Okay, it's none of your business, let's set off and go to the martial arts arena." ”
A horse shuttled back and forth in the streets and alleys of Beicheng, searched everywhere, but still found nothing, and in desperation, returned to the West Palace.
West Palace
"It's not good to do things in a lowly position, and you can't find Tianchen Gongzi, please punish the prince!" the man knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice.
Yan Lao, who was sitting, couldn't help but sneak a glance at Yan Gui when he heard this. The latter closed his eyes and did not speak, as if he did not care.
Yan Jiu waved his hand.
"Let's go down. ”
"Yes!" the man replied, and bowed out the door.
"Father, what do you think you should do now, are you going to find Senior Brother Tianchen in person?" Yan Jiu asked.
Hearing this, Yan Gui opened his eyes and sighed softly.
"I couldn't find his breath. ”
Yan Jiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
"Father, now bring back Senior Brother Tianchen and ask clearly. Yan Jiu persuaded him, "It's not a good thing for you to blindly protect him, if the thing is really there, it will be fine to hand it over." ”
Yan Gui smiled, turned his head to look at Yan Jiu, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I deliberately didn't tell where he was?"
Yan Jiu pursed his lips, didn't dare to look directly at Yan Gui, and muttered in a low voice, "You are a cultivator of the Mortal Realm, your divine sense is extremely powerful, and you are familiar with Senior Brother Tianchen, the capital is so big, you want to find someone to ......"
Yan Jiu said halfway and didn't continue, for fear of provoking Yan Gui's displeasure.
The latter shook his head and said, "I know what you said, I was already exploring the breath just now, I, a fake disciple, have a lot of means!"
Yan Jiu looked at Yan Gui's helpless expression and didn't say anything more.
"Father, I've always been curious, but I didn't dare to ask more at the time, who is that master?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Gui couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Yan Jiu was naturally sensible, his father was reluctant to say it, and he was not reluctant. In the bottom of his heart, he has been speculating about the identity of the person who can let His Majesty the Emperor stand by his side and bow his head and wait, let the Sect Master of the Infinite Sect Du Xinfeng bring tea and water, and can make his father, the Venerable Venerable of the Mortal Sect kneel and worship.
After being silent for a long time, Yan Gui still spoke.
"Ancestor of the Eastern Dynasty!" Yan Gui muttered.
Hearing this, Yan Jiu was not surprised, but rather puzzled.
"First Ancestor, First Emperor?"
Yan Gui shook his head and said, "It's not the First Emperor. ”
"Who is that?"
"The same surname Jiang should be the ancestor of the first emperor. Yan Guidao.
Yan Jiu was even more surprised.
"Hasn't my father seen it?"
Yan Gui nodded and said, "I just heard from the first emperor that the Jiang family founded the country here because of the influence of the ancestors of the Jiang family. And the Eastern Dynasty has been stable for many years, and it is also because of the existence of this ancestor that no matter how strong other countries are, they will not dare to step into the land of the Eastern Dynasty in vain. ”
Yan Jiu couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard this.
"Father, do you know what kind of cultivation this ancestor is? I knelt in front of the hall yesterday, and I only felt an inexplicable pressure, but I couldn't see through it at all. ”
"The first emperor said that eight hundred years ago, Jiang Shizu was a cultivator who returned to the realm of emptiness, and yesterday, he vaguely felt that although his cultivation was profound, his qi and blood were decaying, and he was afraid that he would not go any further, and he should still return to the realm of emptiness. ”
When Yan Jiu heard this, he was in a heavy mood, and he ran out for no reason, which made him worry about what he was planning, pondered for a long time, and looked at Yan Gui again.
"Father's ......"
Who knew that before Yan finished speaking, he was stopped by Yan Gui raising his hand.
"Jiang Shizu never asked about the state affairs of the Eastern Dynasty, for a hundred years, if it wasn't for the first emperor to mention it, I wouldn't even know about his existence, so you don't have to worry. Yan Gui said, "I don't stop you, but also because I also think that the Eastern Dynasty, the country and the people are safe." I don't want to see the Eastern Dynasty like the outside world. ”
"The ...... of the Immeasurable Sect"
"I think that Your Majesty's enduring the collusion of the Infinite Sect with the children of the royal family should be because the mysterious master of the Infinite Sect Du Xinfeng is Jiang Shizu. Yan Guidao, "Don't worry, Jiang Shizu is a master who has returned to the void, and he will not be willing to pay attention to the petty fights in the Eastern Dynasty, even if the Eastern Dynasty destroys the country, I am afraid that he will not necessarily save it." ”
Hearing this, Yan Jiu felt a little relieved, but in a blink of an eye, he became worried again.
"What should I do with Senior Brother Tianchen?" Yan Jiu asked.
I can't help but be a little scared when I think about it.
When Jiang Shizu asked about the treasure called the Soul Moisturizing Elixir, Yan Gui admitted that he didn't know, but the ancestor didn't believe it, so he wanted to search for the soul.
This is a means to damage the spirit, Yan Gui's face is pale, Yan Jiu has no choice, so he has to put aside the risk of his father's scolding and say Yang Tianchen.
took out the detailed investigation report of Yang Tianchen who investigated privately, and explained it in every possible way, before Yang Tianchen was separated from the thief family surnamed Tao, and came to a conclusion obtained by chance. Coupled with the guarantee of His Majesty the Emperor, there is a glimmer of life to hand over the treasure and not blame the past.
"Since the ancestor is interested in taking a look at the martial arts competition, then there is still a chance, just find Tianchen in the next few days. Yan Guidao: "Old man, you remember, no matter whether Tianchen's master is really the thief or not, you must treat it as if it is not! This is not only to save Tianchen's life, but also to avoid disaster for the Eastern Dynasty." ”
Hearing this, Yan Jiu's heart sank, and he said solemnly, "It's my father, and my sons should keep it in mind." ”
Yan Gui nodded, feeling melancholy in his heart.
Fate is often such a coincidence, Yang Tianchen will not do foolish things if he is not drunk, and take out the soul-moistening elixir that he has never heard of. If he doesn't leave a little left, then no one will know.
That's just the case, the treasure that Venerable Transcendent didn't know was from the Infinite Sect, and the elders of the Infinite Sect just appeared at the banquet.
One is the ancestor of Jiang who has returned to the realm of the void, and the other is the person who has taught the apprentice who is not afraid of the Venerable Venerable. Who is strong and who is weak? He Yan Gui couldn't see clearly, a powerful monk, looking at mortals like ants, how could he care about stepping down and trampling on a few of them?
How many mortals are there in the capital? He Yangui guards a piece of land for the sake of the people living and working in peace and contentment, and such a thing will never be allowed to happen.
"Let's go, the martial arts competition is about to start, let's go ahead of time, don't be rude. Yan Guidao.
"Shouldn't Your Majesty accompany the First Ancestor?" Yan Jiu asked.
Yan Gui shook his head.
"No, if the ancestor wants someone to accompany him, how can he not ask the slightest question about the Eastern Dynasty for hundreds of years?" Yan Gui said, "Let's go, everything is as usual." ”
After speaking, Yan Gui passed away in the air, and Yan Jiu naturally followed behind.
In a small alley not far from King Cheng's mansion, Yang Tianchen changed into a shirt that was very different from his previous style early, plus three headscarves inside and out, and wrapped himself tightly. Only one pair of eyes are exposed.
He stared at the sun with his eyes blank, waiting for the time when the Chengwang Mansion was the easiest to sneak into.
He was not worried about the leakage of his breath, before the sun had risen, the second master of Qianwen had already rushed out, reminding him of today's important things, and he was more active than him. Qianwen, who has stabilized his cultivation, is not ambiguous at all, and the means of concealment are endless, and he bluntly said that unless he is a martial artist who has broken through the extraordinary, he will not want to find his traces.
Yang Tianchen laughed, this is a means to be a thief, isn't it that he has been following the Nine Star visitors for thousands of years, and he has been going around being a thief.
Yang Tianchen sat in the alley, doing nothing, looking at the magnificent gate of King Cheng's Mansion from time to time.
After a while, a carriage stopped in front of the door.
"Second master, look, is that carriage the carriage the carriage of the second prince that Yan Wolf said?" Yang Tianchen asked.
Qianwen looked for prestige, and also saw the carriage that was remarkably royal and rich everywhere.
"I guess, don't you know the second prince? Keep an eye on it to see if he will get in the car and leave. ”
"Well, I won't blink my eyes from now on. Yang Tianchen said.
With his eyes wide open, staring intently at the carriage parked in front of the mansion, Yang Tianchen had to search his body with his eyes even if he flew a fly over.
The hard work paid off, and after a stick of incense, Jiang Cheng, who was dressed in a cyan python robe, really walked out of King Cheng's mansion.
"Second uncle, come out. Yang Tianchen said excitedly.
A thousand questions follow the prestige.
"A Purple Mansion Realm human race, thirty or forty years old, is not bad. Qian asked.
"It's similar to what Yan Wolf said, he will really take a carriage to the martial arts field. Yang Tianchen said, and began to move his muscles and bones.
Jiang Cheng got into the carriage and gave a few words to the people in the house, and the carriage went with the whip, Yang Tianchen was not in a hurry, but waited for an extra quarter of an hour, and did not see the carriage turn back, and there were no other changes in the courtyard, so he stood up.
"Second uncle, it's up to you. ”
"Hmm" Qian asked in response, and said, "There are not many warriors in this courtyard today, much less than last time, so to be on the safe side, I still enter from the north." ”
"Okay!" Yang Tianchen finished speaking, leaning against the wall, and flashing towards the north wall like a snake.
Although the capital is empty today, after all, it is still daylight, and it is really not suitable for sneaky things. There are thousands of questions that have been restored to Vientiane, and the powerful divine sense has indeed cleared him of many risks of being discovered.
Yang Tianchen didn't hide it at this time, according to Qianwen's instructions, the body technique of "Hundred Shadows Divine Technique" was used to the extreme, and he quietly shuttled through King Cheng's mansion.
"The wolf demon is on the west side. Qian asked.
"Okay!" Yang Tianchen responded, his body changed, avoiding all the people in the house, and Yang Tianchen appeared in a garden during tea time.
The moment he stepped into the park, Yang Tianchen suddenly felt several fiery waves of qi rolling, and the temperature in the garden was obviously a lot better.
Looking for the source of the heat wave, I saw a fire wolf lying in the middle of the garden, concentrating on the aura.
The surging demonic qi overflowed in one breath and one breath, and the huge body of the flame wolf was like a volcano waiting for an opportunity to erupt at this moment, the pressure was terrifying, Yang Tianchen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this, this is the most full state of seeing this flame wolf several times.
"Ready?" Yang Tianchen retracted his surprised expression, appeared beside the flame wolf, and said with a smile.
The sudden sound really startled the Yan Wolf in an instant, and the demonic aura trembled violently, and the whole body suddenly turned to Yang Tianchen, and the fiery red hair on his back stood up at the same time. The precautions made in an instant were also lowered at the same time when they saw Yang Tianchen's smiling face.
The flame wolf let down his guard, and the hostile demonic aura gradually dissipated, looking at Yang Tianchen and said lightly, "It's quite punctual!"
It's no wonder that the Yan Wolf reacted too aggressively, just because in the middle of the vomit, the Yan Wolf also paid attention to the slightest change in the mansion, went out from Jiang Cheng, and walked away from the carriage. Not a single detail was spared.
But Yang Tianchen, who suddenly appeared, caught him off guard, and the vigilance in his nature was dictated.
"Hehe, aren't you scared?" Yang Tianchen asked with an unpleasant smile when he saw the change in the Yan Wolf's reaction.
The latter rolled his eyes helplessly, "The concealment method is very powerful, I really didn't find out." ”
"Trails. Yang Tianchen waved his hand casually and smiled modestly.
The flame wolf didn't seem to have the heart to retreat with him first, so he immediately said.
"Now that you're here, hurry up. ”
When Yang Tianchen heard this, he also put away his jokes, "Just according to what I said last time, I won't show up, and you will solve everyone." ”
"You know, there aren't many people in the house, be careful, no one will know about you, come with me, I'll take you to the treasure house." Flame Wolf said.
With that, the wolf walked out of the garden.
The subordinates of King Cheng's Mansion all knew about the existence of the Yan Wolf, so the Yan Wolf did not shy away from it along the way, and when everyone saw him, they couldn't stand the scorching heat, and took the initiative to flash aside.
Yang Tianchen naturally followed quietly, all the way to a room in the west of King Cheng's mansion.
This house is a little weird, the door is quite magnificent, the mahogany carved dragon, the gilt door buckle, two gates, one zhang high. But this house is not very tall, there are no pillars of beams, and there are no high eaves teeth.
The Flame Wolf stood in front of the door, and stopped. Seeing this, Yang Tianchen also understood that this was the treasure house of King Cheng's Mansion. So he unhurriedly found a hidden place, hid in it, and waited for the action of the fire wolf.
The latter hesitated in front of the door for a moment, took a deep breath, raised his front paws, and pushed towards the door.
I thought there was some mystery, but who knew that the door of the house would open with it. Yang Tianchen, who was smooth, suspected that there was fraud in it.
"Second uncle, it's not right, it's so simple. Yang Tianchen couldn't help asking.
"Don't worry, look closely at the wolf demon. ”
Yang Tianchen scratched his head, and then looked at the flame wolf.
If you don't look closely, you really didn't find that the flame wolf began to tremble in his limbs since he touched the door of the house, and he seemed to be unstable on his feet, and his sharp wolf teeth were also dead together, obviously bearing an inexplicable force.
"Is this really the case with the Sleepy Heart Mantra!?How do you feel that he is about to kneel down after taking two more steps?" Yang Tianchen muttered in surprise.
The moment the door opened, a powerful voice rang out.
"Who dares to trespass into the treasury!?"
