Chapter 100: Immortal Ascension Conference
"Boom", Yin Tiancheng felt that he had smashed into a person's body, and in a trance, he saw the shadows of the surrounding trees, and when he turned over, the person was speechless in surprise.
He found a middle-aged man lying on the ground, this unlucky guy was originally standing behind this big tree, but was smashed into a meatloaf on the spot by Yin Tiancheng, who suddenly fell from a high sky.
Just when Yin Tiancheng was remorseful, and before he could scold Lu Wu for framing him, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the forest behind him, and then walked out of a middle-aged Taoist priest with a panicked look and a thin face.
This Taoist priest was taken aback when he saw Yin Tiancheng covered in blood, and when he wanted to flee in panic, his eyes fell on the person who was wrongfully stoned to death, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
Then he walked briskly over and bent down to examine the corpse.
This guy's expression when he inspected the corpse was very focused, Yin Tiancheng could have taken this opportunity to run away without seeing anyone, but after all, he chose to stand aside, silently paying attention to the middle-aged Taoist's every move.
This is not because of the guilt after the mistake of killing, but because of a special feeling formed when handling the case, which made Yin Tiancheng realize at this moment that although the middle-aged Taoist priest knew the deceased, he didn't seem to have the slightest good impression of him.
In addition, he stoned a person to death in a daze, but he couldn't even figure out the identity of the other party, which was really difficult for Yin Tiancheng, who had been a fast catcher, to walk away.
Just when Yin Tiancheng was uneasy, the middle-aged Taoist priest actually raised his head and smiled at him and asked, "You killed this person?"
"Yes. Yin Tiancheng nodded, thinking about how to explain, but saw the middle-aged Taoist priest smiling even happier.
"I can't see that the little brother's spell is so good, so I dare to ask, what spell did you use to take his life?"
"What do you mean by that?" Yin Tiancheng suddenly became vigilant, for fear that this Taoist priest would find out.
The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smiling face: "I'm not afraid of brothers' jokes, Poor Dao has been fighting with people for 20 years, and I have never seen such a powerful spell, which can beat people into meat pies at once, and make him snort before he dies." ”
Yin Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, realizing that he had really guessed correctly, the Taoist priest in front of him was not with the deceased.
Seeing that his attitude was a little friendly, Yin Tiancheng replied in a deep voice: "Don't you think it's a bit rude to rashly ask about the origin of other people's spells?"
"What my brother taught me was that he was reckless. The middle-aged Taoist priest's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted and said, "Thank you for your help, if you hadn't killed this guy in time, Poor Dao would have almost lost his life." ”
Yin Tiancheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly echoed his words: "I passed by here just now, and I happened to see this person hiding behind a tree sneaky, so I stopped and secretly observed......"
Before he finished speaking, the Taoist priest cut off his words and said, "As a result, Engong saw that this dog wanted to harm me, so he saved Poor Dao's life?"
Yin Tiancheng almost burst out laughing, he found that this middle-aged Taoist priest looked stable on the outside, but in fact he was an impatient person who didn't know much about the city.
He couldn't hold back a laugh, and replied according to the other party's meaning: "What the Taoist chief said is extremely true, I saw that he secretly condensed a large amount of vitality in his palm, as if he wanted to attack you, so he took the first step......"
"Thank you so much, otherwise I don't know who killed Poor Dao when he died. ”
"The Taoist chief is polite. Yin Tiancheng pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring and replied: "Although I don't know what grievances you have with him, I have always hated the young people who hurt people with dark arrows, so I took his life in anger." ”
"Engong, what are you talking about, how can you feel guilty about it, this dog thing is completely unfortunate to die. The middle-aged Taoist priest remembered that he didn't know the origin of the other party, so he opened his mouth to ask Yin Tiancheng's name.
"Under the surname Yin Tiancheng. After hesitating for a moment, Yin Tiancheng still told the truth.
"It turned out to be a dead wood senior, Xiaodao has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, disrespectful, disrespectful!" The middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly looked shocked and saluted Yin Tiancheng again.
Yin Tiancheng was also a little surprised, he didn't expect his reputation to be so loud, he couldn't help but ask curiously how the other party could know so much about himself.
"Senior, you came out of retreat this time, and casually beat the Sword Feather Gate and the Gucang Sect, such heroic deeds, who in the world doesn't know!"
After the middle-aged Taoist priest said a word, he looked around vigilantly, and then whispered: "This is not the place to speak, how about the poor Taoist begging the seniors to go with me to other places, and then discuss?"
"This ......" Yin Tiancheng hesitated, after all, he didn't know anything about the middle-aged Taoist priest, in case this guy had bad intentions and led himself to a certain place to plot, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
The middle-aged Taoist priest stepped forward and said, "The senior saved my life, and I should also give Poor Dao a chance to repay it, otherwise, Poor Dao will have a disturbed conscience in this life." ”
Seeing that his attitude was sincere, Yin Tiancheng let down most of his guard, so he nodded in agreement, after all, today's matter is a bit strange, and his curiosity is slowly growing.
After the middle-aged Taoist priest took Yin Tiancheng out of the woods, he did not take the avenue, but picked a small path and hurried forward.
Yin Tiancheng was afraid that this guy would have bad intentions, so he deliberately pulled a distance behind him to prevent the other party's way.
Along the way, the middle-aged Taoist priest was very vigilant, and looked around from time to time, until he was sure that no one was following, and then he took Yin Tiancheng to the town and entered the inn where he was staying.
After Yin Tiancheng followed him into the wing room, he saw a Taoist priest in the same costume hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw Yin Tiancheng following behind, his eyes suddenly showed a bit of hostility.
"Senior brother, don't panic, I'll tell you the details right away. Before his companion could open his mouth to ask, the middle-aged Taoist priest spoke first.
"Hmm. The companion nodded, and quickly locked the door.
The middle-aged Taoist priest whispered his previous encounter in the forest to his companions, and the Taoist priest immediately changed his attitude after hearing this, and expressed his gratitude to Yin Tiancheng with his senior brother.
Yin Tiancheng responded modestly with a few words, and then the two sides informed their respective names.
It was only at this time that Yin Tiancheng knew that these two people were disciples of Qinggangmen, the middle-aged Taoist priest was named Ming Zhiyuan, and the younger one was Ming Yunfei, saying that he was on the order of the sect master to do a top-secret mission.
Yin Tiancheng couldn't help laughing, and said to the two: "It seems that your mission this time has been leaked, otherwise I wouldn't have met the thief who wanted to harm the Dao Chief." ”
"What the predecessors said is extremely true, the Divine Dragon Sect has always been against my faction, and the guy you killed just now is one of their hall masters. ”
As soon as he heard Ming Zhiyuan say about the immortal cultivation gang of Shenlongmen, Yin Tiancheng suddenly felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while, so he asked the two of them in detail.
"Senior, a big incident happened in Cangzhou recently, I don't know if you know?" Ming Zhiyuan took a few steps forward, almost close to Yin Tiancheng's ear and said.
"Oh, what's going on, can you tell me about it?"
"Recently, the Murong family secretly invited some heads and sect masters to get together in his mansion, saying that everyone was talking about the old together, have the seniors heard of this matter?"
"What the Taoist chief said is the Murong family of the hereditary Guannei Hou in my Cangzhou?" Yin Tiancheng was stunned.
"Exactly. Ming Zhiyuan nodded in response.
Originally, this was a top-secret matter, but Yin Tiancheng had a life-saving grace for Ming Zhiyuan, so he didn't hide it anymore, and directly said it.
"We've got definite news that these old things are actually going to secretly hold an immortal ascension conference! I heard that among the people who participated in this meeting, there will be a lucky one who will become an immortal. ”
"Become an immortal?" Yin Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "There is such a good thing? Then what else do we cultivate in our daily life, why don't we just go and befriend Murong Houye?"
"This matter is absolutely true, otherwise the hall master of the Divine Dragon Gate would not have harmed the poor Dao. Senior, you said that if you encounter such a thing, who wants to miss this opportunity?"
"That's right. Yin Tiancheng said perfunctorily, a little surprised in his heart, and said secretly: "Why has it become so easy to cultivate immortals now?"
If it was in the past, Yin Tiancheng would have been jealous of such a good thing, but after taking a trip to Kunlun with Lu Wu, he knew many things that ordinary immortal cultivators did not know, and now Yin Tiancheng's interest in cultivating immortals has slowly cooled down.
Because of this, when Ming Zhiyuan said this, Yin Tiancheng immediately calmed down and thought about it, and then he noticed something strange, so he said coldly: "If that's the case, isn't the Murong Marquis family's family out of immortals for generations?" As far as I know, their family is more than rich, but there are very few cultivators. ”
"It seems that the seniors don't know anything about it. Ming Zhiyuan sighed and explained the reason to Yin Tiancheng in detail.
More than two hundred years ago, the first generation of ancestors of the Murong family once saved a god from Kunlun, this god wanted to repay the favor of this Murong Gongzi to become an immortal.
The god was depressed, so he made a vow with this ancestor, and every forty years, this god would visit Murong Mansion in person, opening the door to the convenience of those who were destined to become immortals.
And tomorrow is the day when the Great God of Kunlun will come to Murong Mansion as agreed, so Marquis Murong secretly invited all the heads and sect masters to gather in the mansion, so that the gods can choose the lucky cultivator from among them.
Hearing this, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but ask: "Hehe, since ancient times, fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, I don't believe that Hou Ye has such a selfless heart, and he has to tell outsiders about the benefits of guarding the sky." ”
That's exactly what the great god thought about. Ming Zhiyuan continued: "Immortals are no better than us human beings, it is not easy for people to go down to earth, if he always works in vain, won't it damage his reputation?"
Yin Tiancheng was stunned again, and then he understood, and said, "Are you saying that the immortal is afraid that the Murong family has been mediocre in terms of qualifications for generations, so he has extended this benefit to the cultivators in my entire Cangzhou territory?"
"Pretty much that's it. ”
"In this way, Marquis Murong has given your sect master a post, did the two of you arrange the relevant matters first?"
"Alas, if Master Hou invites the sect master, what else do you need the two of us to go down the mountain for, and we won't be targeted by those bastards from the Shenlongmen. ”
Yin Tiancheng continued to ask, and only then did he understand all the intricacies of this matter.
This time, the Marquis of Murong invited the powerful heads and sect masters of those gangs in Cangzhou, and a small gang like Qinggangmen had no chance to get the invitation of the Murong family.
It is also strange to say, according to the rules of the Murong family, although the invitations were sent to the heads and sect masters, this Hou Ye did not recognize the post.
In other words, a certain sect master received an invitation, but if he lost the post before entering the Murong Mansion, then he would lose his qualification to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference.
If this post falls into the hands of other immortal cultivators, then this person can replace the original inviter to participate in the immortal ascension conference, and Ming Zhiyuan has such an invitation in his hand.
After Yin Tiancheng listened to Ming Zhiyuan's narration, there was no change in the expression on his face, but there were already countless waves in his heart.
On the one hand, he was scolding Murong Hou Ye for looking down on people, and he didn't invite the Feiyu Sect for such a once-in-a-few event, and on the other hand, he was very curious about how Ming Zhiyuan got an invitation, after all, it was unlikely that other sects would give such a precious post to a cultivator who did not belong to his own sect.
Continuing to ask, Yin Tiancheng found that Ming Yunfei was hinting to his senior brother not to divulge too many secrets with his eyes, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and was about to figure out a way to get the truth out of their mouths, when he heard Ming Zhiyuan say with a big grin: "The predecessor is a person who is highly respected in my immortal cultivation world, and he saved my life again, if I hide something from his old man, it is not that my conscience has been eaten by dogs." ”
After speaking, he didn't listen to persuasion, and directly took out the invitation from his arms for Yin Tiancheng to see.
Yin Tiancheng unfolded it, and it read: Xiaohou is preparing for the Immortal Ascension Conference, and he hopes to deign to enter the mansion. It's a matter of confidentiality, and don't divulge it to others. Another note into the house voucher, do not recognize people.
The inscription is the title of this Hou Ye Murong Liang, Yin Tiancheng sneered in his heart after reading it, and said secretly: "Murong Liang actually didn't even write the name of the inviter, it seems that he wants to make trouble, maybe this bullshit immortal ascension conference is a conspiracy!"
Yin Tiancheng returned the post to Ming Zhiyuan and waited for him to continue.
It turned out that this invitation was for the Zixiao faction, but before this post reached their master, it was robbed by the Shenlong Gate halfway.
How do you know that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, this invitation is not hot in the hands of the group of people in Shenlongmen, and the Mo sect master of Qinggangmen led the crowd to come to a second robbery, and now the post belongs to Ming Zhiyuan.
Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but be angry after hearing this, and scolded secretly: "Hmph, what else do you say is confidential, now the city is full of turmoil, and I don't know the inside story of Feiyumen!"
He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and thought about it again, then he noticed the strangeness in it, and hurriedly asked Ming Zhiyuan: "Strange, it stands to reason that this invitation should be with your Sect Master Mo, why did it fall into your hands again?"
The two of them suddenly turned ugly, and they didn't dare to reply for a long time.
