Chapter 215: The Way Cannot Be Partial
However, Feng Xin did not hesitate for long before he had an answer. He was about to answer, but Jian Lan sneered, "Forget it, you don't need to answer. You are now someone's prisoner. Whether you dare to admit it or not is all nonsense. I don't believe a word you say. Don't say it. Even if you are willing to admit it, I will not admit it to you!"
The fetus was in her arms, spitting out its tongue at Feng Xin and laughing like an adult. Jian Lan slapped it hard on the butt and scolded it, "Why are you making such a weird face? I told you not to run around. You're killing me!"
The ugly little face of the fetus shrank, and finally it became a little obedient. The mother and son hurried out of Nanyang Hall, and Feng Xin shouted from behind: "Jian Lan! Jian Lan!" No response. Finally, he was the only one left in Nanyang Hall. Feng Xin sat back dejectedly, staring at the big white radish in front of him with several rows of deformed teeth marks. He stared for a long time, covered his forehead with his right hand, and lay flat on the ground, not even having the strength to curse.
In Nanyang Palace, Xie Lian also sighed.
At this time, Hua Cheng suddenly said: "Brother, do you still remember that night with Jun Shan, the fetal spirit also appeared."
Xie Lian understood that he was trying to change the subject, so he played along. Plus, the fact that the fetal spirit had appeared on Yujun Mountain was indeed strange, so he pulled himself together and said, “I remember. At the time, I was sitting in the bridal sedan, and it sang a nursery rhyme to tell me how to find the ghost bride, Xuan Ji. And it didn’t let anyone else hear it at the time, it just told me, I don’t know why.”
Hua Cheng said: "It must be Jun Wu's instruction."
Xie Lian said, “Then the mystery becomes Jun Wu’s purpose. As for why it became an evil spirit under Jun Wu’s command, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask the Imperial Master about these.”
Hua Cheng said: "Then go and ask. Tell brother a good news, the Dead Butterfly has found the place where the Imperial Master is imprisoned."
Xie Lian perked up and asked, “Where?”
Lingwen Hall.
Inside and outside the palace, there were fewer literary gods who used to come in and out with piles of scrolls, and more expressionless divine guards who patrolled and enforced martial law. Landing silently on a corner of the eaves, Xie Lian asked, "Is the Imperial Master imprisoned here? Is Ling Wen guarding him?"
Hua Cheng said: "That's right. With Jin Yi Xian in his body, Ling Wen is now considered a literary god, and also a martial god."
After concentrating on observing for a moment, Xie Lian said, “That’s going to be troublesome.”
Although Jin Yixian was no match for them, he was still a highly skilled cultivator after all, and was definitely much more perceptive than the guards patrolling the streets of Xianjing.
If Xie Lian and Hua Cheng rashly sneaked into Lingwen Hall, Jinyixian would not be able to defeat them, but it might not be impossible for them to be discovered. And once Jinyixian discovered them, Lingwen would also be sure to discover them.
Xie Lian said, “Lingwen and Junwu can definitely communicate with each other at any time. As long as Lingwen finds out, Junwu will find out too. Unless the Jinyixian is not on him, he is a literary god and will definitely not be able to detect us; and the Jinyixian that is taken off is just a piece of clothing, and it cannot notify Junwu. We have to find a way to separate them.”
Hua Cheng said, "No need to think of any special solution. He will take off the clothes sooner or later."
No explanation is needed, Xie Lian understood.
Jinyixian is not a good thing after all. He is very cautious about evil spirits. Lingwen has not been officially demoted and is still a priest. Wearing it all the time is definitely not good for the body. Moreover, he has to maintain his male appearance all the time, which consumes mana. I am afraid that few people can withstand this consumption. Within a day, he has to take it off and rest for a while.
The two were discussing in low voices when a man in black walked out of the Lingwen Hall with his hands behind his back, explained something to the guards outside, and walked into the side hall. After a while, another person walked out of the side hall and walked back into the main hall.
This person was Lingwen. When he went in, he was in male form, and when he came out, he was in his true form. Moreover, the black coat he was wearing was gone, and his movements were not as light and powerful as when he was in male form. One could tell at a glance that he had done some meritorious deeds.
She really took off her clothes. At this moment, the Fairy in Brocade Clothes was in that side hall!
The two looked at each other. Hua Cheng said, "Now, they are separated. Brother, you are lucky."
Xie Lian also exhaled, looked at him, and said, "Sanlang is lucky."
Hua Cheng smiled and asked, "Main hall? Side hall?"
After thinking for a while, Xie Lian said, “Let’s go to the side hall! We don’t know what the situation is in the main hall of Lingwen Hall yet. If Lingwen is guarding next to the Imperial Master, then we can’t get around her at all. But if we can get Jinyixian first, maybe there’s still room for a conversation.”
So the two of them waited for a while, and when the guards were changing hands, they both climbed over the roof and sneaked into the side hall.
As soon as he entered the house, Xie Lian wiped the sweat off his forehead.
In any case, sneaking into the priestess's private room was not an upright thing to do. But when he saw the side room clearly, his feeling of shame disappeared a little.
Xie Lian's previous house was more luxurious than this one, Feng Xin's was more messy than this one, and Mu Qing's house was more elegant than this one. In short, it didn't look like a priestess's private palace at all, so the pressure was not that great.
There weren't many things in the hall, so it was impossible to hide anything. It didn't take long for Xie Lian to find a box. But as soon as he opened it, his face darkened. Not only because as soon as he opened it, a gust of evil wind and evil spirit blew in his face, but also because the box was neatly filled with identical black clothes and black skirts.
here we go again!
It was the same last time. I had to search for the authentic Jin Yi Xian piece among nearly a hundred pieces of various clothes. It was a nightmare. This time, there were not so many, only a dozen pieces, but each one was black and indistinguishable. It was hard to tell which time was more frustrating. Was Jin Yi Xian really among them?
Xie Lian said with a headache: “San Lang…what is Jun Wu doing now? Do we have enough time?”
Hua Cheng had been closely monitoring the movements of all parties. After hearing his question, he slowly said, "Brother, don't worry. We have time. Jun Wu hasn't noticed that you left yet. He is in the Shenwu Hall and has brought Mu Qing to trial. It looks like the trial will take a long time."
Hearing this, Xie Lian was startled and asked, “Mu Qing? He interrogated Mu Qing? Interrogating what?”
Hua Cheng said, “The Undead Butterfly cannot enter the Shenwu Palace. I can’t hear you clearly. But you know.” He stared at Xie Lian and said, “It’s definitely not something good.”
Xie Lian thought of how Jun Wu treated Yin Yu, and felt uneasy. But there was no point in worrying now, so he said decisively, "Hurry up and let me try them on one by one. Sanlang, you give me the order."
If the Jinyixian doesn't want to be discovered, or doesn't want to kill the person wearing it, it can be put on and taken off at will. But if someone asks another person to wear it and gives an order, that person must obey. Using this method, you can definitely test out the real thing, but it's a little dangerous. Hua Cheng said: "Let me do it."
Xie Lian shook his head and said, "Sanlang, you wore the Jinyixian's robe, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to work on you. Maybe it doesn't work on the Ghost King? I have to do it." As he said that, he took off his outer robe, and the white robe fell at his feet. Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows, picked up a black robe and handed it to him, saying, "Then, I'd better obey your command."
Xie Lian quickly put the clothes on. Fortunately, fortunately. Ling Wen's black robe did not expose her breasts, nor was it graceful. It was very straight and there was no difficulty in putting it on. Xie Lian looked up and said, "Okay, you can make your request to me now."
“…”
Hua Cheng supported his left elbow with his right hand and his chin with his left hand. He looked at him and seemed to think seriously for a moment before saying, "Then, brother, my order is—"
After a moment, Xie Lian waited for the second half of his sentence. Hua Cheng smiled and said, "——Let's borrow some magic power."
“…”
Xie Lian certainly understood what he meant by "borrowing mana" and almost felt like smoking. He quickly took off his clothes and said, "This, this is not it!"
Hua Cheng said: "Ah, what a pity. This one is not it."
Xie Lian said sternly, “Sanlang, you… this is not right. You need to be more serious and don’t make such a request.”
Hua Cheng said humbly: "Am I not serious enough? What kind of request? Can you tell me in more detail, brother?"
“…” Xie Lian coughed twice and said seriously, “In short, you cannot let me borrow your magic power. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want, such as turning in a circle, jumping a few times, etc. It’s all up to you.”
Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Everything else is up to you, right? Okay, I understand."
As he spoke, he handed another one to Xie Lian. Xie Lian quickly put it on and looked up at Hua Cheng again.
Hua Cheng looked at him for a moment: "Brother..."
After a while, he smiled and said, "Don't borrow my magic power."
“…”
I was careless! How could this happen?
Xie Lian was about to take off the clothes: "Okay! It's not this one either..." But Hua Cheng stopped him and said: "Wait, brother, who said it's not this one? You haven't proved it's not this one yet."
"Don't borrow my magic power", this is Hua Cheng's order. If you want to prove that the clothes on Xie Lian are not the Jinyixian, you must not follow Hua Cheng's order. In other words, you have to do the opposite - "borrow magic power from Hua Cheng".
After going around in circles, I'm back to the starting point!
Seeing Hua Cheng's serious look, Xie Lian was shocked: "...You are too cunning. You can't do this."
Hua Cheng crossed his arms, tilted his head, and said confidently: "Why not? Brother, didn't you say that other than asking you to borrow my magic power, all other requests are fine? Since you don't like this request, then I proposed the exact opposite. How can this be called cunning? Isn't this very real?"
“…”
Xie Lian was speechless, raised his finger and pointed at him for a while, and said: "You...you, hey, I can't argue with you, stop it!" He didn't dare to delay, rushed up and gave him a "chi". Although he knew that there was no one around, he still looked left and right after he finished, as if he was alert to who was peeping.
Hua Cheng's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Very good. I'm sure this one is not the one."
Xie Lian took off the black robe and said, “…Don’t mention this request again.”
Hua Cheng handed him the third piece and said with a smile, "Okay, okay. I will definitely do as you wish."
Xie Lian took it reluctantly, thinking, “I feel like San Lang is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with… Is this an illusion?”
He was still worried that Hua Cheng would make another prank request, but after two jokes, Hua Cheng really stopped teasing him. He became serious, but Xie Lian felt something was wrong.
However, after trying on all the dozen pieces of clothing in the suitcase, Xie Lian did not obey a single order.
Could it be that Jin Yi Xian’s genuine product is not here?
No. Lingwen must have taken it off. And the whole box of clothes is stained with evil spirits, it must be here!
Hua Cheng leaned against the door railing and said, "Brother, it seems that this Jin Yi Xian is not only ineffective on me, but also on you."
Where is the problem?
