Chapter 2497: Seeking a Living

The clues regarding the Yellow Springs (Huang Quan) are not necessarily limited to the Guanlan Inn (Guan Lan Ke Zhan) on Youxia Island (You Xia Dao). However, the situation in the Tianzi (Tian Zi) Number Three Room is the most complex, and it's the place on Youxia Island most likely related to the change in the Yellow Springs water drop.

Jiang Wang (Jiang Wang) will investigate everyone who appears in this guest room.

He "asks" Shuofang Bo (Shuofang Bo), "interrogates" Wu Guan Wang (Wu Guan Wang) and Dushi Wang (Du Shi Wang), and "observes" Tian Anping (Tian Anping).

Someone like Tian Anping won't yield results from asking, cannot be interrogated, and threatening him is completely meaningless. The only approach is to observe him directly.

As a firsthand witness to Jiugong Tianming (Jiu Gong Tian Ming), the master of the Yunding Xian Palace (Yun Ding Xian Gong), Jiang Wang naturally knows where the echo of the Ba Fu Xian Palace (Ba Fu Xian Gong) is.

He is also aware of the struggle between Tian Anping and Yin Guan (Yin Guan) for the Wanxian Palace (Wan Xian Gong).

The latter at least suggests that Tian Anping originally had some understanding of the Xian Palace.

Although Shuofang Bo's suspicion of Tian Anping is still just suspicion, in Jiang Wang's heart, there is already a degree of certainty.

There are many people who speak wildly, and not a few who threaten at every turn. Xie Baoshu (Xie Baoshu) even once boasted after drinking that he would break Yan Fu's (Yan Fu) leg.

The reason Tian Anping's threat particularly angers him is because Tian Anping is very different. Unlike others who are only verbally aggressive, someone as unscrupulous as Tian Anping is very likely to carry out his threats!

So he pierced his throat with a sword, as an eternal warning.

This part of his Potential Intent Sea (Shi Yi Hai), like rock and iron, doesn't allow people to peek even a drop, and it hasn't shown any waves for a long time.

This indicates that Tian Anping's heart is very closed.

It also shows that in the realm of consciousness, Tian Anping is also a master in this regard. He can suppress his thoughts at any time, preventing any useless stray thoughts from arising. Every thought can be focused on cultivation or contemplation.

Of course, Jiang Wang is in a place he absolutely cannot reach at his current stage.

This door, this chair, this figure sitting still.

It's a hurdle he cannot overcome.

No matter when, from what angle, or how far Tian Anping looks, he can only see an ordinary cloud.

While Jiang Wang sits here quietly, looking at the flat waves of the sea for ten thousand li, looking at waves like cast iron, looking at a person known for madness, and his incomparably solid inner world.

Beneath this piece of sea, it is so obscure and gloomy, the hidden dangers cannot be described.

Of course, for Jiang Wang, they are just slightly darker ripples.

The so-called "Terror Tian Jun" (Kong Bu Tian Jun) cannot bring him terror at all.

He will always gaze at this sea, and he will gaze at Tian Anping's entire process of reaching the peak.

At least at the moment of reaching the peak, this sea will not still be so deathly silent. Perhaps from it, he can glimpse Tian Anping's inner heart.

Tian Anping is suspended in the rain.

Beneath his feet is the boundless, surging sea, wave after wave, like stairs to heaven, pushing him upwards layer by layer.

Thunder clouds cover the top, like his terror crown.

Sudden rain and thunder are the usual sounds entering his ears.

After startling back Zhong Liyan (Zhong Liyan), his aura is still rising, always rising. After reaching a certain critical point, the rising speed becomes very slow, but it is always upwards. This world has heavenly limits, and as he takes the last step on the extraordinary path, he is approaching that heavenly limit almost endlessly.

No matter how people have viewed him in recent years, no matter how he has been stopped—whether by Qi Tianzi (Qi Tianzi) locking his cultivation for ten years, or by Jiang Wang's sword piercing his neck.

He is the one who gazes at the absolute peak, and even higher scenery, and he is absolutely not satisfied with ordinary ascension.

Today, as he walks on the stairs of ascension on the East Sea (Dong Hai), he doesn't know how many people are watching, how many people are worried.

Although hated to the bone, although his name causes shock.

He just looks at the sky quietly, with a wisp of vague bewilderment in his eyes, and cloud-like shadow that cannot be dispelled... and curiosity.

The limit of this path... where exactly is it?

Zhong Liyan looked at the sky once, the dark clouds like night, the rain showing no sign of stopping.

He looked at Zhuge Zuo (Zhuge Zuo): "Go, this big master will send you back first. Your grandfather still has tasks at sea, leave me a note, don't worry about the rest—"

He saw Jiang Wang at this moment, and thus stopped speaking.

Jiang Wang walked out from the rain, the raindrops all over the sky parting like a curtain for him.

One after another, semi-transparent rain curtains, pulling open layer by layer, the hem of his sinking blue shirt, actually like a god walking.

Big Master Zhong Liyan pursed his mouth.

Twelve parts of mood, twenty parts of discomfort.

"Damn... rain!"

He scolded absentmindedly.

"There's a question I want to ask the two of you." Jiang Wang had a kind of impartial directness: "There are clues very important to me in the Guanlan Inn on Youxia Island—I heard the two of you have been there, I wonder if you can tell me why?"

"We two just went to the sea to play, looking around everywhere. We even specifically reported this to the Qi (Qi) country court." Zhuge Zuo was still in tears the moment before, but the next moment he pulled himself together, spoke seriously, and even politely bowed to Jiang Wang: "I have seen Mr. Jiang."

He always remembered that he was representing Chu (Chu) country at sea, and that he had a task entrusted by his grandfather.

He could explain things clearly, and it was best not to let Zhong Liyan speak—it was easy to cause trouble.

After all, he had listened to lessons in the Chao Wen Dao Tian Palace (Chao Wen Dao Tian Gong), so the address "mister" was also acceptable.

Zhong Liyan grabbed the back of his collar with one hand and lifted him behind him.

Although Zhuge Zuo was smart, he didn't understand Jiang Wang. Although this answer was faultless, it lacked sincerity.

This surname Jiang might not be a good thing; if he had an opinion of you in his heart, he would play dirty tricks.

"Playing is one aspect!" Zhong Liyan said loudly and boldly: "We two are on the order of Star Witch (Xing Wu) adult to wander the sea! There was no specific plan, just letting us look around while strolling, following our hearts, following fate. Of course, Youxia Island was specifically mentioned—we might not have done anything, and as for what Star Witch his old man can calculate from our experiences, that's his old man's business. Old Jiang, you understand me, I'm too lazy to bother with idle matters!"

If everyone was in the Shenlin Realm (Shen Lin Jing) at that time, Nan Yue (Nan Yue) would have smacked him down long ago—

"Then what did the two of you experience?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhong Liyan couldn't bear it after all, and squinted at him: "What, you can calculate too?"

"Curious. Asking." Jiang Wang said expressionlessly: "This clue is quite important to me, it concerns my life and death enemy. To let me know who cut off my clue and affected my pursuit, I will certainly flay and draw tendons, use his big tendon to wrap his neck, hang him up, and beat him for nine days and nine nights."

"Didn't experience anything!" Zhong Liyan shrugged: "When we went to that inn, what should have happened had already happened, we just observed the aftermath scene a bit. It was after leaving that inn—"

He looked at Jiang Wang's expression and didn't continue to sell suspense: "We encountered Tian Anping. He grabbed a Jing (Jing) country Mirror Guard (Jing Wei) and walked towards us, then inexplicably pinched this Mirror Guard to death. This is something we saw ourselves. The Mirror Guard's name is Jiang Nanpeng (Jiang Nanpeng), calculated by Xiao Zuo (Xiao Zuo)."

Zhong Liyan's news and Wu Guan Wang's news match up—

Wu Guan Wang fundamentally understood nothing, or rather, he was talking nonsense from the start.

Since the one who descended on Jiang Nanpeng was the Yi Zhen Dao (Yi Zhen Dao) person, then it's not possible it was for ambushing Yin Guan and descending.

Looking at the dialogue between this person and Miao Rulai (Miao Ru Lai), they seemed more like a sudden confrontation based on some misunderstanding.

After all, he still wanted to "talk a bit".

Then, the question arises for Jiang Wang—

Why did Tian Anping want to kill Jiang Nanpeng?

If he didn't know that Jiang Nanpeng was the body descended upon by the Yi Zhen Dao disciple, why would he arbitrarily kill a Jing country official in a situation where there was no war between the two countries?

If he detected Jiang Nanpeng's state, it's even more interesting, why would he want to kill an Yi Zhen Dao disciple?

It couldn't be an act of justice, could it?

Jiang Wang calmly lifted his eyes once.

In the distance of the wild wind and fierce rain, Tian Anping was still in the process of ascending.

"Alright, maybe it wasn't entirely inexplicable." Zhong Liyan gestured: "I asked him who the person in his hand was, he said he didn't know either. I just let him ask... maybe he felt provoked?"

Even Zhong Liyan, such an unreasonable person, felt that Tian Anping would kill for such an absurd reason, showing how deeply rooted his image of madness is.

"Brother Zhong Liyan actually just endured like that." Jiang Wang's tone was inexplicable.

Zhong Liyan had endured for a long time, and suddenly jumped up: "I'm giving Qi country face! If not in the East Sea—"

From that high sky above, a lightning bolt crackled down, hitting Zhuge Zuo exactly on his heavenly spirit (Tian Ling). In an instant, his serious face, still with tear marks, turned a blinding white!

Zhong Liyan reached out, but it was too late. Jiang Wang detected it but did not reach out.

But saw that winding lightning, like a branching tree in the air. It seemed to have accumulated enough thunder, the wrinkled branch turned into a hand, stretching into a wooden carved human shape. It was just suspended there, a star disc flying out from above Zhuge Zuo's body.

At first glance, it looked like condensed light, but upon closer examination, it was full of flesh.

This shape was three zhang high, quite plump, with a tight robe supporting the mysterious patterns on the robe to the extreme. It was bulging in front and protruding in back, slightly trembling in the rain.

Only the head part was wooden carved, without five senses, the face carved with a cluster of full ears of autumn millet.

Zhuge Yixian's (Zhuge Yi Xian) Yellow Dao (Huang Dao) Twelve Star Gods... Da Liang (Da Liang).

Not Liang country, it's about storing grain in winter to bear fruit.

"Liang" and "liang" are interchangeable, planning for rice and grains.

It corresponds to the twelfth of the twelve terrestrial branches, You (You) hour, and corresponds to the twenty-eight mansions: Stomach (Wei), Mao (Mao), and Bi (Bi) mansions.

This star palace illuminates one's life, mainly representing early wisdom.

Zhuge Zuo looked up at the sky foolishly, speechless for a moment.

"Star God Da Liang, pays respects to Jiang Jun (Jiang Jun)." This star god's voice was extremely gentle, giving people a feeling of consideration and tolerance. At this time, it bowed softly, actually like a court noblewoman.

Jiang Wang finally knew how to return the courtesy—facing these star gods, it was difficult not to think whether the Star Witch was leading at this moment.

With his current cultivation, facing any star god did not require him to return the courtesy, because although a star god is a true god level, he is a true person monarch (zhen ren jun).

But for a senior like the Star Witch, it was still necessary to maintain respect.

"If you are here to take away Zhuge Zuo—please." Jiang Wang said in a warm voice: "I just asked a few questions, I have no intention of keeping anyone."

Da Liang shook its head: "I came for Jiang Jun. Or rather... I have been waiting for you."

"Oh?" Jiang Wang's heart moved, the Star Witch's great name was like thunder piercing the ear. This time, Zhong Liyan and Zhuge Zuo also came to the East Sea on his order, and experienced or witnessed some things. It was hard to say that this figure standing on the peak of calculation hadn't detected something in advance.

He asked: "I don't know what matter it is?"

Da Liang floated closer: "Sincerely for Huai Gong's (Huai Gong) matters, borrow Jiang Jun's Yunding Xian Palace for one use!"

"If it's for Zuo Gong (Zuo Gong), what need is there to say borrow? I should present it to his hand and respectfully offer it for his use." Jiang Wang had long passed the time of panicking just because he heard about his loved ones, and he wouldn't act rashly just because of a single sentence from Da Liang. He said very seriously: "But if Zuo grandfather needs me to do something, it seems he doesn't need your excellency to convey it. What is the reason for this?"

Da Liang shook its head: "I cannot say."

Jiang Wang asked again: "For what use?"

Da Liang still shook its head: "I cannot say."

Jiang Wang was not annoyed either. He understood what Zhuge Yixian meant to Chu country. Zhuge Yixian's Yellow Dao Star Gods had no need to come and tease him for fun. If they couldn't say, there must be reasons they couldn't say.

He just calmed his mind and sent a message seal.

Da Liang guessed what he was doing and only said: "You cannot contact Huai Gong now, he is in an unspeakable place."

Jiang Wang again sent a message through the Taixu Illusion (Tai Xu Huan Jing) to Zuo Guangshu (Zuo Guangshu)—

"Is grandfather at home?"

Zuo Guangshu was cultivating in the Taixu Illusion and immediately sent a message back: "Out on business not in residence, how? Want to deploy manpower? I'll come over as soon as I win this round."

Jiang Wang replied: "What are you thinking! Is your brother the kind of person who only dances with knives and plays with guns? Just asking casually! Let me know when grandfather is back home, I'll come over for a meal."

Zuo Guangshu didn't suspect anything and replied "um um".

If Huai Gong's business was convenient to mention, Zuo Guangshu would have said so directly in the message. If it was state affairs, then he couldn't speak.

This also counted as a confirmation.

Opposite, the Star God Da Liang spoke again: "I promise the truthfulness of this matter in the name of Zhuge Yixian."

Since Da Liang descended, Zhuge Zuo had not spoken further.

Beside him, Zhong Liyan thought for a moment, then cleared his throat and came over: "If you don't believe Da Liang, I, Zhong Liyan, can act as a guarantee."

This was a rare instance of him trying to please someone, his eyes eagerly looking at Jiang Wang, with some requests in them.

Because he guessed from Zhuge Zuo's various expressions that this was Zhuge Yixian's final game, and his heart couldn't help but sigh—although he still didn't understand how this game would start, and why he had to ask Jiang Wang for help.

No matter what, Zhuge Yixian had no reason to harm Jiang Wang, and Huai Gong was also in the game, so even more so.

Jiang Wang sighed: "Brother Zhong Liyan's character is precious, worthy of being the chief of the southern border. How could Jiang someone not believe? Very well, Star God Da Liang, please lead the way, I will accompany you on this trip!"

Zhong Liyan's slightly stiff face immediately softened, and pride welled up.

His waist straightened, his neck hardened, and he couldn't lower his chin no matter what.

Why couldn't this Jiang Wang be like Dou Zhao (Dou Zhao) of Xiandao (Xian Dao)!?

He's just more enlightened, more sensible!

It's eight o'clock in the evening.
