Chapter 432 Floating Life Palace

After hearing Ying Che's words, Yao Fusang snorted coldly, and said in a stern voice, "If Empress Wuyang is really the daughter of a saint, her purpose of coming to the island this time is worth pondering."

Jiang Linlang frowned and looked at her thoughtfully, "You mean, the Cangxie Sword is just a cover for Empress Wuyang's visit to Yuheng Island this time, and her real purpose is to target the saint?"

Yao Fusang nodded with a serious face, "This little girl is very cunning, I always feel that her purpose of coming to Yuheng Island is definitely not that simple. In this case, if we go to talk to the saint, don't we hit her right?" in his arms?"

Ji Shu's eyes were deep, he pondered for a moment, then looked up at Ying Che, his eyes fluttered, and he asked with a half-smile, "What does Elder Ying think?"

Among the five of them, Yingche was the oldest and had the highest spiritual power, so he usually took the lead.As for whether everyone really obeys him in private, only everyone knows.

Yingche narrowed his eyes, ignored Ji Shu, and turned to look at Yao Fusang, "Elder Yao means... we shouldn't go to the saintess? So what are you going to do with Di Ji?"

"Just tell her that the Holy Maiden is in retreat, and no one will be seen. If she has any requests, she will tell us, and we will convey them on her behalf." Yao Fusang spoke forcefully, with a cold voice.

"Emperor Ji Wuyang is not such an easy person to fool." After he finished speaking, Ji Yu's cold voice sounded, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Yao Fusang frowned fiercely, his suspicious eyes fell on Ji Yu's face, "Elder Ji, what do you mean? Could it be that we can only let that little girl lead us by the nose?"

Having said that, his voice paused, his deep eyes flicked on Ji Yu's face a few times, and he pointed out, "Elder Ji, from the very beginning, you seem to have taken good care of this little girl." , here...is there something inside that we don't know about?"

Although Yao Fusang is impulsive and irritable, he is not stupid. Over the past few days, he found that although Ji Yu still has that cold and stinky temperament, when he speaks occasionally, he seems to always speak for Song Qinghuan, which makes him suspicious. .

Ji Yu's black pupils were bright, and he shot at Yao Fusang coldly, his tone was so cold that he asked, "Elder Yao is doubting me?"

Yao Fusang snorted coldly, although he had doubts, but there was no evidence after all, he glanced at her, and said with a smirk, "Elder Ji misunderstood. Elder Ji is an old man in the clan, I won't doubt you, just ... If Elder Ji knows something that we don't, please tell us frankly."

Ying Che's eyes flickered, and he stared at the two thoughtfully.

He didn't follow to Handan City, so naturally he didn't know what happened before, but judging by Yao Fusang's expression, could it be... there is really something tricky here?
Ji Yu's expression was still indifferent, his eyes were half-closed, and his cool eyes swept across everyone's faces, "I know nothing more than you." After a pause, he retracted his eyes and continued, "However, the most urgent thing is that we do The identity of Empress Wuyang must be confirmed as soon as possible."

As soon as Yao Fusang heard this, before she finished speaking, he said coldly, "So, you still insist on talking to the saint?" In his words, there was a bit of a sense of asking for guilt.

"I don't care what method is used to determine her identity. However, Elder Yao, don't forget that next month will be the Holy Maiden Renewal Ceremony. If Wuyang Diji is really the daughter of the Holy Maiden, then she is the One of the strong candidates for the Holy Maiden."

As soon as she said this, everyone froze, and the hall fell into an eerie silence.

The term of the previous saintess was 18 years, and as of this year, the 18th year of the saintess of Yuli has expired.The [-]st of next month will be the saintess's reelection ceremony.

Because spiritual power can be inherited, the children of successive saintesses will automatically become one of the candidates for saints or saints.That is to say, just as Jiyu said, if Song Qinghuan is really the daughter of a saint, she will automatically become one of the candidates for the next saint, whether they want it or not.

In this way, things will be a little tricky.

"So, the powerful spiritual power we detected didn't come from the maid named Yu Ge beside her, but from her?" Ji Shu said quietly, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared suddenly, and his eyes were sharp and cold.

She just knew that this Empress Wuyang really wasn't an easy-going lamp, she played them around and saw through their schemes at sea.

Such an opponent is indeed somewhat difficult to deal with.

"Very likely." Himeha said coldly.

Yao Fusang thumped the armrest of the chair, full of indignation, "I was tricked by her again, I am so mad. If I had known this, I shouldn't have brought her to the island in the first place."

Yingche glanced at him coldly, and said with displeasure, "Okay, it's useless to regret now. Since she discovered the secret in the Cangxie Sword, even if you don't go to Handan City, what's the point with her cleverness?" Can't find Yuheng Island? What's more, let's not forget that there is a Emperor Han beside her. That Emperor Han is probably even more difficult to deal with than Empress Wuyang."

Jiang Linlang settled down, "Indeed. Then... what should we do now?"

"In my opinion, we need to have a good talk with the Holy Maiden to find out what the relationship between this Empress Wuyang and her is. But it's an extra crime." Ying Che's face turned stern, his eyes rolled, and he said, "As for Empress Wuyang, why don't you send someone to test her and see what she is capable of."

"Okay, I agree with that." Jiang Linlang said quickly.Ji Shu's eyes darkened slightly, but he also nodded in agreement.Ji Yu pursed her lips noncommittally, as if she accepted Ying Che's proposal.

In this way, even if Yao Fusang had an opinion, he could only be forced to accept it.

"The Holy Maiden, let me go by myself." Seeing that everyone agreed, Ying Che thought for a moment, then opened his mouth, his eyes swept over the several people, and finally fell on Ji Yu's face, "Elder Ji, you go with me , what do you think?"

Yao Fusang frowned, and subconsciously wanted to object, but he met Yingche's cold gaze, knowing that he had gone too far today, and if he spoke again, the relationship would inevitably become strained.Although he didn't like Song Qinghuan, he didn't want to fight with the four of them. After thinking about it, he swallowed what he wanted to say.

Ji Yu raised his eyebrows and replied coldly, "Okay."

"As for the people who are going to audition Wu Yang Di Ji..." Ying Che drew his final voice and looked at Ji Shu, "Why don't you let Ji Ye and Yan Luo go, what do you guys think?"

Ji Shu rolled her eyes upwards, and smiled charmingly, "It's a great honor for Elder Ying to trust Aye. He will definitely live up to the expectations of the elders."

"Okay." Ying Che nodded, "Then it's settled. Elder Jiang and Elder Ji will notify Ji Ye and Yan Luo."

As a result, Yao Fusang became the only one who was not assigned a task.Although he was dissatisfied, he also knew that Ying Che was giving him a warning, so he lowered his eyes resentfully, and didn't say much.He is weak at this time, obviously not suitable for a direct confrontation with him.

A sarcasm flashed in Ying Che's eyes, he glanced at the four of them, and said in a deep voice, "If everyone has no objections, then let's break up."

After finishing speaking, Yao Fusang stood up, bowed hastily to everyone, and was the first to leave the Xuan Hall.

Ji Yu also stood up, said goodbye and left.

The rest, Ji Shu and Jiang Linlang, said a few words and got up to leave.

Watching the four of them leave one by one, the smile on Ying Che's mouth faded, his eyes were as deep as ink, and he stared blankly ahead, wondering what he was thinking.

But say the other way.

Si Tan and another young woman named Gui Ying led Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan out of the Xuandian and returned by the same route.After passing the Baibei bridge, Si Tan's fingers changed, and the barrier behind him began to close slowly.

Song Qinghuan looked back, and saw that the Qionglou Yuyu scene just now had disappeared, only a faint mist lingered behind him, as if everything just now was just a mirage.

She drooped her brows and eyes, retracted her heavy gaze, and didn't say much.Having nothing to say all the way, he followed Si Tan and Gui Ying back to Qingya Xiaozhu.

The two greeted Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan with a smile and said goodbye, then turned and left.

Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan looked at each other, and walked into Qingya Xiaozhu.

Shen Xing and Liu Yue were talking about something in the yard, when they saw them coming in, they rushed forward to meet them.Jun Xi in the room also heard the movement, and walked out accompanied by Yu Ge, but there was no trace of Xuan Ying.

"Huan'er, Brother Huang." Jun Xi walked up to them, showing concern, "How is it? They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Song Qinghuan shook his head, smiled at her, and signaled Junxi not to worry, "It's nothing, just tested me. It depends on their attitude towards the mother and concubine. We can live here with peace of mind for the time being. I think, It won't be long before they make a move."

Jun Xi was slightly relieved, "If you need my help, just ask."

Song Qinghuan nodded, and looked at Yuge beside her, "Yuge, follow me, I have something to ask you."

Yu Ge responded, and followed Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan into the room.

"Sit down, Yuge." Song Qinghuan ordered lightly.

Yu Ge thanked her and sat down respectfully opposite the two.

"We went to Xuandian today and met five elders." Song Qinghuan said slowly, and glanced at her, "When you were here, was there an enchantment around the holy hall and Xuandian?"

"Boundary?" Yu Ge was taken aback and shook her head in confusion.

Song Qinghuan's eyes dimmed, and he told Yu Ge about the current situation where the Profound Palace and the Holy Palace are located.

After listening to the song, the astonishment in her eyes was even greater, she bit her lower lip and said, "When I went to the temple, there was no such a barrier, nor such a bridge."

"What about the smaller palace on Futu Mountain?" Song Qinghuan narrowed his eyes and asked again.

Yuge shook her head, "It is difficult for ordinary people to see the temple once in their lifetime. The slaves and maidservants had a low status in Yuheng Island, so they never went to the temple. The day they stole the fairy grass was at night, so they didn't notice it. Is there a palace on Futu Mountain?"

Song Qinghuan frowned slightly, appearing to be in deep thought.

It seems that... I can't get any more useful information from Yu Ge. I don't know if what I said just now in the Xuan Palace has shaken the elders?
She raised her head, looked at Yu Ge and smiled, "Understood, you go back first, I'll call you if I need anything."

Yuge got up and said goodbye.

As soon as she left, Song Qing sighed happily, looked at Shen Chuhan, rested her elbows on the table, supported her chin, and looked at Shen Chuhan helplessly, "Ashu, do you think they will let me see the concubine mother?"

Shen Chuhan thought for a moment, then said leisurely, "Ah Wan was so resolute just now, they are afraid of the Cangxie Sword in your hand, so they will definitely do something. As for whether they will let us see the concubine mother..." He paused slightly, and took a look Song Qinghuan, "Ah Wan, I suspect...they have already begun to doubt your identity."

Song Qinghuan was taken aback for a moment, but soon felt relieved.

She and Mrs. Qingxuan already have some similarities in appearance, and the three elders just didn't notice it for a while, but now that they think about it carefully, they are bound to find some clues.What's more, her words and deeds in Xuandian today were indeed a little irritable.

However, her words and actions just now were more intentional.

If both of them stand still, I don't know when I will see my concubine mother.Now that she is pretending to reveal some flaws, then... as Shen Chuhan said, they will definitely take action.

"Ah Shu thinks they will attack me, or the concubine mother?" Song Qinghuan asked thoughtfully.

Shen Chuhan stretched out his hand to pour himself a cup of tea and took a sip, playing with the cup in his hand, "I think they will do both."

Song Qinghuan gave a thoughtful "hmm" and said with a sense of regret, "It's a pity that the Xuandian is surrounded by barriers, otherwise, we might be able to secretly detect the actions of a few elders."

Shen Chuhan hooked his lips and looked at her with a slight smile.

Song Qinghuan felt that his smile was a bit weird, and looked at him suspiciously, "Ashu, what are you laughing at?" Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the sly look in Shen Chuhan's eyes, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he raised his eyes in surprise, " Ashu, shouldn't you...have you already sent Xuan Ying...?"

Shen Chuhan's smile became brighter and brighter, and he reached out to stroke her hair, "Ah Wan really has a heart-to-heart with me." The corner of his mouth curled up, and he said calmly, "Just now when Si Tan came to lead us to Xuandian, Xuanying He quietly followed behind us. At this moment, he should have been hiding on the small island. Once the elder makes a move, he will secretly investigate."

Song Qinghuan came to a sudden, no wonder he didn't see Xuanying when he just came back, it turned out he was still on that island.She glared at Shen Chuhan, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"I also had a sudden idea when Si Tan came, and I never found a chance to tell you."

Song Qinghuan was just joking with him, so he didn't say much when he heard the words. He only lowered his eyes slightly, and was a little worried, "The elders are all people with high spiritual power, so Xuanying won't be in any danger, right?"

Shen Chuhan smiled at her, and expressed relief, "I have fought against Elder Shui, but his martial arts are not mediocre. The Fulan people have been hiding from the world for a long time, and they rarely communicate with Yunqing Continent. In my opinion, although the elders have high spiritual power, their martial arts are not good enough. But it's just ordinary. Xuanying is good at light work, and has a cautious temper, so she won't be discovered by them."

Seeing what Shen Chuhan said, Song Qinghuan was slightly relieved.After thinking for a while, he said, "Ash thinks, how will they test me?"

Shen Chuhan raised his brows, calmly, "It's hard to say. But... In my opinion, even if they know your true identity, as long as we have the Cangxie Sword in hand, they won't be able to do anything to us." As he spoke, the corners of his lips Slightly ticking off, with a half-smile but not a smile, "Besides, I think that if your identity is really exposed, we will have more reason to ask to see the concubine mother."

Song Qinghuan couldn't help chuckling, "According to what you're saying, I made the right move today?"

"Of course." Shen Chuhan smiled dotingly, "In this way, the current stalemate has been broken. I really deserve to be Ah Wan." Without blinking, Shen Chuhan praised her seriously.He was originally born in a very good condition, looking at Song Qinghuan with a smile on his face like this, it seemed like a charming spring, it was really overwhelming.Ripples of joy rippled in Song Qinghuan's heart, and the haze in his heart couldn't help but be swept away for the past few days.

Smiling at Shen Chuhan, he also relaxed his mind and talked about other things.

At night, the cool breeze is blowing, the stars are fading, and the branches draw mottled moon shadows on the ground.

Crescent Moon Island where the temple is located was dead silent.

The spiritual palace on the left is a group of palaces, with a total of six exquisite palaces.

The middle one, Mingling Hall, was originally the residence of the saintess, but it has been vacant in recent years.Although it was night, the candles in the hall were not lit, and it was pitch black, only the shadow of the moon in front of the hall.

Surrounding the Spirit Hall in the middle, there are five other palaces, distributed in a starburst shape, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings, glittering and translucent under the moonlight, exquisite and gorgeous, and are the residences of the five elders.

Clockwise, they are the Golden Hall, the Wooden Hall, the Water Hall, the Fire Hall, and the Earth Hall. At this time, the halls are brightly lit and the candles are flickering. Looking from a distance, they look like night pearls scattered on the sea, emitting a faint light in the night.

At this time, a figure walked out of one of the palaces, walked towards the central spiritual hall, and stopped at the entrance of the spiritual hall, as if waiting for someone.

After a while, another person came in the night, joined the previous person, and had a few conversations.

The bright moon poked its head out from the clouds, and the soft and clear moonlight shone on the faces of those two people, it was Elder Jin Yingche and Elder Mu Jiyu.

The two chatted for a while, then quickly stepped up and walked to the back of the Linggong Palace.

After passing the holy hall behind the Spirit Palace, and walking for a while, the two soon arrived at the foot of Futu Mountain behind Crescent Island.

Futu Mountain is backed by the Wuwang Sea, although the terrain is not too high, the side that backs the Wuwang Sea is a straight cliff.At this time, a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, the cold moonlight shines down, the sea is shimmering, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore is heard.The jagged mountain peaks standing in front of them are silhouetted in the night.

Looking up, the palace standing halfway up the mountain, the glazed outer wall reflects the light under the moonlight, and the greenery on all sides seems to hang in the air, which is amazing to look at.

Yingche and Jiyu looked at each other, each took out a night pearl from their bosoms, and walked up Futu Mountain without stopping.

There is a mountain road at the foot of the mountain, paved with bluestone slabs, winding and winding to the palace halfway up the mountain. There are no weeds growing on both sides of the mountain road, and it can be seen that it is constantly repaired.

The two walked up the mountain under the light of the night pearl.The Ye Mingzhu is about the size of a fist, and its light is soft, which can illuminate the road ten steps ahead, so it is very easy to walk all the way.Not long after, they arrived in front of the palace halfway up the mountain.

Under the moonlight, the glazed palace reflects soft light, which is as beautiful as a dream.There is a white jade plaque hanging above the palace, and the three characters "Fusheng Palace" are engraved on the plaque.

Ying Che took a step forward, picked up the knocker on the hall door and knocked it three times, then took a step back.Soon, the hall door automatically opened to both sides.

Ying Che and Ji Yu stepped forward and entered the Hall of Floating Life.

Behind him, the door of the hall was slowly closed, and a gust of cool wind blew in from the middle of the door that was not yet closed, blowing a corner of Miyu's white shirt.

She frowned, glanced back casually, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

The walls of the hall are decorated with four big night pearls, which are supported by bead lamps made of shells, emitting soft light and illuminating the scenery inside the hall.

There are no extra decorations in the hall, only a statue taller than a person is at the front. The person portrayed is a woman, wearing a plain gauze shirt, with an exquisite figure and long hair behind her. Her skin is as radiant as snow. Zhaohua, with a beautiful and unremarkable complexion, is like a crescent moon clearing the haze, flowers and trees are piled up with snow, and there seems to be a haze shrouded around her, like no one in the world.

Yingche and Jiyu looked pious, bowed to the sculpture a few times, then straightened up, and went straight behind the sculpture.I saw Ying Che reached out and pressed somewhere on the base of the sculpture, only to hear a "bang", and on the ground paved with white jade behind the sculpture, two floor tiles began to slowly open to both sides, revealing a dark hole, Ye Mingzhu Under the light, you can see stone steps leading down from the entrance of the cave.

Ying Che clenched the Ye Mingzhu in his hand, glanced at Ji Yu behind him, and headed into the cave.Ji Yu soon followed into the entrance of the cave, followed behind Ying Che, and walked down the stone steps together.

The floor tiles behind him began to close slowly, and amidst the sound of "bang", a black figure quickly jumped into the hole from the opening of the floor tiles that had never been closed, as fast as a gust of wind, passing by without a trace.

The floor tiles were quickly closed and stitched tightly, the floor was as smooth as before, and nothing could be seen, as if the scene just now had never happened at all.
