Chapter 396: Looking for Shadows
Li Xiuchang was indeed a little soft-hearted before he understood everything, and he only used six or seven of his power when torturing the two of them.
But after understanding the situation and understanding that these "shadows" were his natural enemies, he no longer had any unnecessary mercy.
He returned to Xianchen Sect with several senior brothers and sisters, and immediately contacted Zhang Wanzhi who was working outside.
Zhang Wanzhi was still immersed in investigating the identities of Taoist Tianqing and Lingze Sanren when he suddenly received news that he knew how to save Wang Jingxing and asked him to come back quickly!
This made him anxious and rushed back faster than ever in his life. At the same time, he was annoyed that he had missed such a crucial moment.
Fortunately, his trip was not without success...
This time it was a matter of great importance. The neighboring brothers and sisters had worked hard for more than two thousand years and finally saw clear progress. Everyone gathered together and waited quietly for Zhang Wanzhi's return.
There was no spiritual food or immortal brew, so everyone sat in silence, feeling a little heavy.
Zhang Wanzhi didn't know what tricks he had used, but he didn't keep everyone waiting and returned to Xianchen Sect at an incredible speed.
He rushed into the house like a bolt of lightning. Before he could stand firmly, he couldn't wait to ask: "What did you ask?"
Lu Yang said: "Don't get too excited. Sit down first, calm down and speak slowly."
"How can I still calm down? Speak quickly!" Zhang Wanzhi said impatiently.
Chen Changsheng knew Zhang Wanzhi's character and waved his hand: "Don't have high expectations yet. Although the method has been found, it is not an easy task to achieve it."
Next, Chen Changsheng relayed all the information they asked to Zhang Wanzhi.
When he learned about the harsh conditions that needed to be met in order to rescue Wang Jingxing, he did not show any embarrassment on his face, but said without thinking:
"It's a bit difficult, but it's thousands of times better than fumbling around like headless flies like we used to! Now at least we have a clear goal there!"
"In the past, we always thought there was something wrong with Lao Wang. Trying to turn an abnormal person into a normal one was too fussy. We didn't know where to start."
"But now, we know that Lao Wang has not changed. He is still the same person. He is right there, in the shadow world, waiting for us to save him!"
"We have a direction and know what to do. Isn't this a good thing?"
Zhang Wanzhi's words were like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day, shining through the gloom in everyone's hearts.
Yes, at least there is progress, which is a good thing!
They didn't know what was wrong with Wang Jingxing before, and they didn't know how to get him back to normal.
Now the goal becomes simple and clear: rescue the real Wang Jingxing from the shadow world!
Motu nodded: "Let's discuss now how to save people."
Chen Changsheng said: "To save people, two conditions must be met. Wang Jingxing's shadow and body must appear in Xianyin and Xianyang at the same time. Jingxing's body is on the other side, because in the shadow world, we cannot determine his condition for the time being.
"It's possible that he was caught and imprisoned by those shadows and needs us to rescue him, or maybe he escaped and is still free in the shadow world. Maybe he is hiding in Xianyang, waiting for us to rescue him.
"No matter what the situation is, what we have to do is find his shadow first!"
"That's right." Everyone nodded, this was the simplest and clearest idea.
In either case, find the shadow first.
After finding Wang Jingxing's shadow, he will send the shadow into Immortal Shadow. If he can directly exchange it for Wang Jingxing's body, everything will go smoothly.
If it cannot be exchanged, consider the next step, which is how to enter the shadow world and find Wang Jingxing's true body.
"When we enter the shadow world, the risk is high and we may not be successful yet, but we don't have to think about it for now. The most important thing is to find the shadow first. We should think about how to find the person first," Xia Siyun said.
Chen Changsheng said: "Over the years, we have actually never given up on looking for him, but we have never had any clues, so we can no longer use the old methods. It doesn't work. We have to think of some new ideas."
In the past two thousand years, they have never given up looking for Wang Jingxing, but now it seems that they are actually looking for Wang Jingxing's shadow. However, they have not found it for more than two thousand years, which shows that their method is wrong.
Everyone brainstormed and thought of some new methods.
Li Xiuchang looked at Gui Wuyan: "Senior Brother Gui, can you figure out the whereabouts of Senior Brother Wang Jingxing's shadow now?"
Gui Wuyan couldn't do it before, but recently he had a breakthrough in his hexagram technique with the help of Xuanwu rubbings.
Moreover, he had actually calculated the wrong target before. Gui Wuyan had calculated the whereabouts of Wang Jingxing instead of the whereabouts of Shadow. Although the two were closely connected, they were separated by a layer after all.
Now that Gui Wuyan knows more, directly calculating the whereabouts of the shadow can reduce some of the difficulty.
Gui Wuyan nodded and said: "You can try, but it's difficult to directly calculate the specific location, but you can figure out some clues."
It was very difficult for him to predict the specific whereabouts of Taoist Tianqing's group before, let alone Wang Jingxing's shadow.
Wang Jingxing's shadow has most likely left the Immortal Shadow Realm a long time ago, hiding in an unknown world.
These shadows have some anti-divination properties. Wang Jingxing's shadow cultivation is very high. If he finds someone to hide the secrets for him, it will be even more difficult to predict.
Li Xiuchang said: "Senior brother, just do the math. I've given you as many longevity pills as you need, so you don't have to worry about lifespan."
Gui Wuyan's eyes lit up: "With your words, I feel more confident."
Gui Wuyan closed his eyes and began to calculate, just like he was asleep.
The others also waited quietly. If Gui Wuyan could calculate it directly, that would be the best, and it would save them from having to think of other ways.
After calculating for a while, Gui Wuyan opened his eyes and asked Li Xiuchang to borrow the rubbing of the black tortoise shell.
He held the rubbing of the tortoise shell in his hand, and his hair began to turn white one by one, and his face aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a long time, Gui Wuyan returned the tortoise shell to Li Xiuchang, and took the brick-sized Wanshou Pill from Li Xiuchang's hand, and took a bite to recover blood.
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, he slowly ate a large piece of the Wanshou Pill, regained his youth, and then a word appeared on his head:
"I calculated something. He has never stayed in one place for a long time in the past two thousand years. He kept changing his residence and went to many worlds. His current location cannot be determined. We can only calculate the worlds he has been to in the last hundred years."
Li Xiuchang keenly discovered the problem and said, "Shadows cannot ascend. How can he go to different worlds? It stands to reason that he can only go to the lower world through the channel every time. Once he goes to the lower world, he can no longer return to the upper world. If he continues like this, after changing worlds several times, he will reach the first level of the world. If he changes again, he can only go to the Demon Suppression World."
Zhang Wan knew: "Unless someone helps him."
Lu Yang nodded: "Yes, and it has to be a normal person, not other shadows, and has a certain strength."
Li Xiuchang thought about it and it was indeed possible to lead people to ascend.
When he went to the lower world when his cultivation was low before, he relied on his senior brothers to bring him up.
But leading people to ascend requires a certain strength.
At least a True Immortal level of cultivation!
And he can't take people to the sixth world, he can only travel between the first to fifth worlds.
Shadow, who has no ability to ascend, found a True Immortal level helper to help him ascend to other worlds.
Li Xiuchang's eyes lit up: "In the lower world, it is not so easy to find a True Immortal level helper who is willing to take him to various worlds. He can't change helpers frequently. It is very likely that he has been looking for the same person for all these years.
"And this person is not Shadow. Compared with Shadow, it is much easier to calculate. Brother Gui might as well try to calculate this person directly."
Gui Wuyan nodded, and the words appeared above his head and said: "That's what I meant. ”
This is the tacit understanding of the fortune tellers. When the target is difficult to calculate, you might as well start with the things around the target.
Gui Wuyan made another divination, and the target was changed to the helper of Wang Jingxing's shadow.
This time the calculation was much smoother.
But in a moment, Gui Wuyan's black hair turned white.
He expressed it in words: "That man is the apprentice of Wang Jingxing's shadow. In the past two thousand years, he accepted a disciple and cultivated him to the realm of true immortals."
"It's really painstaking." Zhang Wanzhi snorted coldly.
Personally cultivate a disciple and ensure his loyalty, just to let this disciple take him to various worlds.
Gui Wuyan continued to output text: "His disciple is currently in the Wanshan Realm, but their master and apprentice are not in the same world. Shadow has been in the Youhe Realm, the Bishui Realm, the Desert Realm, and the Bitter Sea Realm in the past hundred years..."
For every extra sentence output, Gui Wuyan's hair will turn a few more white. Fortunately, now he has Li Xiuchang, the power bank, and he no longer has to worry about not having enough life.
"Wanshan Realm? "Everyone was surprised. Wanshan Realm is one of the lower realms of Xianyin Realm.
It might not be a coincidence that Wang Jingxing's shadow's disciple appeared in Wanshan Realm. If he had not lived in Wanshan Realm for a long time, he might have come with some purpose.
"Since we are in Wanshan Realm, it saves a lot of trouble. Let's go down to the lower realm to catch him." Zhang Wanzhi was anxious to set off.
Although Gui Wuyan had already circled the location of Wang Jingxing's shadow in four worlds.
But it is not easy to find a person in the four worlds. The workload is amazing.
And we have to prevent the other party from escaping halfway.
Therefore, it is better to catch his apprentice first, and then lock the master through the apprentice. This is more reliable.
Chen Changsheng said: "It's just to catch a real immortal. There is no need to mobilize all forces. Let Lao Mo do this."
Zhang Wanzhi just wanted to do more, and said: "I will go too."
"You have other things to do."
"What is it? "Zhang Wanzhi was puzzled.
Chen Changsheng said: "Go and talk to Shi Tian. You know a lot now. We know all the things they didn't want us to know before. Let's talk to them and see if we can get more information. "
They know a lot, they know the peculiarity of the shadow world, they know the existence of shadows,
but there are still many things they don't know.
For example, how was the shadow world formed?
What secrets are behind it?
Why don't you want them to know?
And how to stop the expansion of Xianyin!
After knowing the truth, it is not difficult to understand that once Xianyin expands and covers the entire Xianyin world, it will cause the people of the entire Xianyin world to exchange positions with the people of the shadow world.
In the future, all people living in Xianyin world can only survive in the shadow world.
And the shadows of the shadow world will occupy Xianyin world.
Zhang Wanzhi nodded, this matter can only be handed over to him.
Speaking of this, he thought of his gains from this trip, and said: "I did find the records of Lingze Sanren in Dengxian Pavilion during this trip. He was a famous casual cultivator hundreds of thousands of years ago. He got his name because of his deep understanding of the great way of water and created a Lingze.
"Interestingly, according to records, Lingze Sanren and Tianqing Daoist were close friends. Dengxian Pavilion also has some records about Tianqing Daoist, which are more detailed than Xianchen Sect.
"It is said that in those days, Tianqing Daoist entered Xianyin with Wuhu Jushi, another elder of Yintian Sect, and Lingze Sanren, but in the end only Wuhu Jushi managed to escape from Xianyin.
"In addition, after Wuhu Jushi came out, he said that he saw Tianqing Daoist and Lingze Sanren die at the hands of wandering corpses."
At this point, everyone understood what Zhang Wanzhi meant.
The fact that Wuhu Jushi came out alone does not mean anything.
But he said with certainty that he saw Tianqing Daoist and Lingze Sanren die, which is not normal and is obviously a lie.
So needless to say, this Wuhu Jushi must also be a shadow!
Zhang Wanzhi coughed and said, "This Wuhu layman is still alive and is the supreme elder of Yintian Sect."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wanzhi went out and successfully caught a traitor of Yintian Sect.
However, this kind of thing may happen in the four major immortal sects.
Li Xiuchang dared not even think about how many shadows there are in the senior leaders of Xianchen Sect!
In the past countless years, there have been many people from Xianchen Sect who have entered Xianyin, and it is impossible to judge which of them are the real bodies and which are shadows.
This is not difficult, but who will do it.
If the four major immortal sects can initiate self-examination, they can definitely make those shadows nowhere to hide.
But it is difficult to push this matter forward by relying on Li Xiuchang and others.
No one believes what they say, and they have no substantial evidence. They only caught a few shadows, only their confessions.
The confessions of these people are not convincing, and are not enough to bring down those shadows who are in high positions in the four major immortal sects.
This is also the reason why Zhang Wanzhi and others have been lurking in Xianchen Sect for more than two thousand years, but dare not negotiate directly with Xianchen Sect.
They don't know how many enemies are hidden in Xianchen Sect, let alone what position the enemies hold.
Maybe the Xianchen Sect is controlled by those shadows!
Li Xiuchang has a deep sense of identity with the sect.
Saving Senior Brother Wang Jingxing is the long-cherished wish of the senior brothers and sisters. Li Xiuchang just wants to help the senior brothers and sisters. He himself has no friendship with Senior Brother Wang Jingxing.
But for Xianchen Sect, he really wants to help the sect to find out those hidden traitors.
"We have to find a way to let the four major sects discover the existence of these shadows!" (End of this chapter)
