Chapter 1705 Sixty Years Ago and One Hundred and Fifty Years Ago
He Lingchuan and the other two looked at each other, none of them were surprised, they just felt that it was just as they expected.
Before setting off, they knew that there was a high probability that something might happen in Qianhuan Cave.
"Sixty years ago, Master decided to enter a long retreat. At that time, he said that we could not come out of the retreat for another thirty or forty years, and asked us to wait patiently."
However, this statement has been outdated for twenty or thirty years, and Master Qianhuan has never appeared.
Dong Rui couldn't help but ask, "Can't you leave midway?"
"It's rare for the Immortal Venerable to be in seclusion and comprehend the truth of heaven and earth when he feels like it. Once he stops, there may not be another opportunity like this. Therefore, even if the seclusion period he mentioned has passed, none of us dare to disturb him. We just keep the Upside-Down Sea running."
He Lingchuan's face was expressionless.
Although True Man Qianhuan had been in seclusion for an extended period of time, the entire Upside-Down Sea was operating as usual, and the spiritual energy of the Flashing Gold Plain was nourishing the place as usual. The immortals and practitioners of the Huan Sect were living their lives as usual, and everything was beautiful. What was there to rush?
"But we were worried after all, so we repeatedly used divination cups in Minghai Hall to communicate with our master, but it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't." Xiao Wencheng shook his head, "Whenever we asked about this world, we occasionally got a response; but when we asked about the immortal master himself, there was no news at all."
People in various places use divination blocks to pray to gods and even to ask about mountain, lake and water spirits.
The answer to the question is very simple, "yes" or "no", "yes" or "no".
After throwing the dice a few more times, the person asking will know the attitude of the gods.
However, Master Qianhuan, as an ancient immortal with boundless magical powers, did not give any further feedback to his disciples.
It would be strange if Xiao Wencheng and others didn't have any complaints in their hearts.
Aunt Zhu asked, "Is there no way to forcibly interrupt the retreat? It has been overdue for 20 to 30 years, and there is an invasion from the outside world!"
We are all immortals, and we know very well that the so-called "seclusion" can actually be interrupted, but it just costs a little.
The road to immortality is long and full of ups and downs. What should you do if you encounter a strong enemy while in seclusion?
It is the most basic principle to interrupt the retreat. Unless——
Xiao Wenhe hesitated for a moment before saying, "In fact, there were thirteen brothers who followed the Immortal Lord into the Upside-Down Sea, but now there are only eight left. The other five all tried to ask the Immortal Lord to come out of seclusion, but they never came back. The envoy sent by Lingshan five years ago also made this attempt, and the same thing happened—"
He shook his head.
Dong Rui frowned: "Calling out the Immortal Lord is actually so dangerous?"
Old Qian Huan even killed his own immortal disciple? Too cruel.
"Our Immortal Master's retreat is different from other immortals." Elder Liu laughed bitterly, "Other immortals' retreat is just retreat, most of them just sit quietly in the cave to meditate and regulate their breathing, and some immortals can even do more. But our Immortal Master's true body is a sea mirage. When he retreats, even we, his disciples, don't know how he will change in a thousand ways."
Aunt Zhu interrupted: "Is there no other way for you and Qian Huan to communicate?"
"Yes." Elder Liu led everyone out of the meditation room and pointed to the copper bell under the eaves of the main hall. "Before the master went into seclusion, he told us brothers and sisters that as long as we ring this bell at a specific frequency, we can ask him to come out of seclusion in advance. Of course, the bell should not be rung unless it is a major event."
He added: "This eaves bell will not ring no matter how strong the wind is."
After saying that, he casually summoned a gust of wind, which blew across the sky above the hall.
Several large trees nearby were blown all over the place, but the bell on the eaves remained motionless, as if it was welded to the eaves.
"We have rung the bell countless times over the past few decades, including today, to no avail."
He Lingchuan thought about it, and suddenly asked: "Is there any opportunity for Qianhuan Immortal Venerable to go into seclusion for a long time back then?"
Why was it sixty years ago, and not seventy or eighty years ago?
What Elder Liu said just now was Qian Huan's "sudden inspiration", but based on the experience of an ancient immortal, it would be extremely difficult to make it have another insight.
There is a saying that goes, once you have seen the ocean, all other waters are but puddles.
I have experienced too much and understood too much, so my heart is not so easily moved again.
This time he asked the point, because Elder Liu's eyes flickered slightly.
It was just a little bit unusual. But He Lingchuan was so careful that he immediately saw that Elder Liu was doubtful and didn't know whether to speak up or not, so he said: "The more detailed you explain, the easier it will be for Lingshan to make a judgment."
He mentioned Lingshan to emphasize that he came on behalf of Lingshan and represented the organization's inquiry.
Dong Rui added: "Maybe we can help."
Elder Liu did not hesitate for too long: "There is indeed such a thing. Sixty years ago, the Immortal Venerable sent out the giant snake clone in exchange for a treasure, and then began to retreat."
Giant snake? Related to Yao State?
All three of them pricked up their ears.
"This treasure is called the 'Dayan Dzi Bead'."
He Lingchuan managed to keep a straight face with great difficulty, but a thunderclap suddenly exploded in his heart!
Dayan Dzi Bead!
Did I hear it right? It’s the Dayan Dzi Bead from his Panlong City?
Dong Rui was surprised and asked, "How could it be related to Yao Country? Yao Country holds this treasure?"
He asked Aunt Zhu: "Have you heard of this thing?"
Aunt Zhu shook her head.
"The giant snake clone has been staying at the Jade Spring Palace for sixty years, and even fought with two gods for King Yao." He Lingchuan's heart surged, and he couldn't help but say, "I don't understand why the Immortal Venerable Qianhuan would condescend to make such an exchange with a mortal country?"
He spoke cryptically, but everyone present understood what he meant:
With Master Qianhuan's ability, why doesn't he just take away the things he likes in the mortal world?
Why are you being so polite and want to exchange your own physical body for something?
When has the immortal ever been so polite to mortals?
When have you ever been so polite?
Can the immortal's external physical form be given to you casually?
Elder Liu's statement sounded full of abnormality.
He Lingchuan's question was actually a bit off topic. The focus was not on Qianhuan, but on the Dayan Dzi Bead itself. So he immediately asked, "Qianhuan Immortal Venerable has been in seclusion for a long time, so the origin of this Dzi Bead is very suspicious. Could it be a trap set by the Heavenly Palace?"
"There is a lot of history behind this matter." Elder Liu waved his hand. "The Immortal Venerable got this Dzi bead more than a hundred years ago, but couldn't use it at that time. It had to be cleansed by the mortal world, which means more civilians, and it would be best if it could also be cleansed by the country's destiny. Looking around, the only country that could possibly survive on the land of the Shining Gold Plains was the Yao Kingdom. So, Master made a deal with the then ruler of the Yao Kingdom and swore a blood oath."
He Lingchuan was clearly standing here, but he felt that Elder Liu's words seemed to come from far away, and every word could cause waves of echoes in his ears: "Master has always been ethereal, and his behavior and deeds are like footprints in the snow and mud, and are difficult to understand. We are not very clear about this matter, but didn't you say that Yao Country had just switched to Miaozhantian at that time?"
He Lingchuan blurted out: "So you want to find another layer of protection for Yao Country?"
Although the king of Yao State led his subjects to convert to Miaozhantian, one of the conditions he set was not to take the mysterious medicine of the sky. Perhaps, they were always a little worried.
"As far as I know, the king of Yao country privately agreed to the deal with the Immortal Venerable and placed this Dayan Dzi Bead in the palace. In exchange, if Yao country is in trouble, Master will let us take action; but Yao country has always been peaceful, so we don't have to go there to support it. Ninety years later, when the Dzi Bead is fully developed, Master will follow the agreement of that year and send the giant snake clone to Yao country to serve as the guardian beast for a period of one hundred years. Because the cold spring under the Yuquan Palace is also suitable for the giant snake to continue practicing."
Dong Rui chuckled: "It turns out that the Yao Kingdom has been two-faced and dishonest since it surrendered to Miao Zhantian. Hehe, it took Yanshou 150 years to be destroyed. Not unfair, not unfair."
The number "one hundred and fifty years" made He Lingchuan feel uneasy.
Historically, Panlong City was destroyed more than 150 years ago! From the perspective of time, isn't it too coincidental?
Why was the orb originally held in the mouth of the black dragon statue at the south gate of Panlong City not taken away by Beijia, but instead fell into the hands of Master Qianhuan?
Thinking about the fact that one of the people in charge of Lingshan at that time was Zhenren Qianhuan, He Lingchuan's jaw suddenly tightened.
He still remembered the cheers of the soldiers and civilians of Panlong City on the day the orb was embedded, and he also remembered what Zhong Shengguang said:
I hope that the day when the Dayan Dzi Bead is refined will still be in Panlong City.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
At this moment, the rage in He Lingchuan's heart was like a tidal wave.
But he didn't even clench his fists. He just lowered his head slightly and felt the hatred boiling in his chest.
Dong Rui asked again: "What is the origin of this Dayan Dzi Bead?"
Elder Liu shook his head: "This is the secret of our sect, sorry I can't reveal it to the public."
"Then what is its function? You can tell me about it." Dong Rui was dissatisfied. "Otherwise, how can we infer it?"
"When the master got it, he was very surprised. He said it was miraculous and that as long as we can truly refine it, we can reach the level of supreme creation." Elder Liu also felt a little regretful. "None of us has ever held this gem, so we don't know its true effectiveness."
He Lingchuan forced himself to suppress the thousands of thoughts in his mind and looked at the Haoyuan Golden Mirror. Bai Ziqi's fleet seemed to be approaching the shore. "If the Immortal Venerable doesn't come out, and if the Heavenly Palace team is invincible, what will you do?"
Before Elder Liu could speak, he said, "Since Bai Ziqi is leading the team, he must be well prepared."
Bai Ziqi never let him down.
Elder Liu shook his head: "Although the master is in seclusion, there is no way these people can win in the Upside Down Sea."
Aunt Zhu could tell that he was taking it for granted, so she said in a muffled voice, "Those immortals whose caves were hollowed out in the past also thought so."
It has never been very polite, and Elder Liu was also a little unhappy: "I said that Master's retreat is different from others; Master's paradise is also different. These people can enter but cannot leave."
Can get in, but can't get out? He Lingchuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said:
"I understand. We have already found out the truth. Elder Liu, please escort us out. We want to return to Lingshan!"
When these words were spoken, the two companions were a little surprised, but they did not show it.
