Chapter 379 New Level New Horizon
Tong Ming was so shocked by the secret that Shen Wen suddenly revealed that he stood up from his seat. He looked at Shen Wen for a long while before he sat down calmly again.
Tong Ming picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of the good tea that Shen Wen mentioned. He put it to his lips and took a sip. Then he asked, "What else did you see?"
Shen Wen said: "I told you what I saw, it's enough for you to believe me, as for other secrets... I really don't know."
Tong Ming asked: "What do you want to do by telling me this secret?"
Shen Wen stared at Tong Ming and said, "He was a dead man who came back to life through a corpse, and you are a deity, what can I do for you?"
Tong Ming said with a smile: "Immortal? What's wrong with immortals? You mean borrowing a corpse to revive? What does borrowing a corpse to revive have to do with me? If he is a ghost, the underworld will take care of him. If he is a human, the human world will take care of him. Even if he is neither a human nor a ghost but a demon, there are demon slayers to take care of him. He has nothing to do with us, the immortals."
Shen Wen looked at Tong Ming carefully, grinned and said, "You are so ugly!"
Tong Ming was stunned and said, "You said I'm ugly? I think there's something wrong with your eyes. Who in this world doesn't look obsessed with me? You actually said I'm ugly? I think you should go back and find a clinic to get your eyes healed."
Shen Wen lay on the table, propping up his face with one hand and said, "Chun Yu is good-looking, but you are much worse than him. Aren't you ugly?"
Tong Ming exploded. He stood up taller, squinted his eyes and looked down at him and said, "You've provoked me!" A powerful aura pressed down on him. If it were someone else, he would have changed his words and begged for mercy.
Shen Wen didn't react to his aura at all. He held his chin and said, "He is more capable than you."
Tong Ming's anger intensified.
Shen Wen continued, "Chun Yu can do anything with ease, but you...can't..."
Tong Ming's eyes bulged out!
Then he saw the purple clay teapot, which had been lying quietly on the table, suddenly began to boil. The gurgling sound became louder and louder, and at the last moment it exploded with a bang.
The boiling water splashed everywhere! Fortunately, Shen Wen dodged quickly, otherwise the fingernail-sized water droplets would have splashed on his body, forming a red bubble.
Shen Wen looked at Tong Ming with a frightened face, and finally said: "You are even more vicious than him!"
Tong Ming, who was 1.8 meters tall, looked like a sulky kid who couldn't get any candy. He pouted his mouth, folded his arms in front of his chest, and disappeared on the spot.
Shen Wen bit his lip with a look of resentment.
Even though he was provoked to this extent, he didn't just stand up and promised to deal with the old emperor, but just ran away like that?
Shen Wen gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said, "I don't believe that others dare to do it!"
The four old monsters in the West Palace were not easy to see, and Shen Wen did not expect that the immortal Tong Ming would come. He just gave Xiao Jiu a letter and asked him to go to the West Palace to invite a few people to pick one of them. Unexpectedly, the person who came was not the ancestor, Chunyu, or the second father Hu Liuli, but Tong Ming who had a disagreement with them.
There are differences?
This idea suddenly popped up in Shen Wen's mind. He remembered that when he first met Tong Ming and Chunyu Lihe in the West Palace, the two of them had different opinions. Later, he heard from Xiaojiu that the ancestor and Hu Liuli also had differences with Tong Ming. The ancestor and Tong Ming had a grudge, a big grudge. Hu Liuli was guarding the five immortal souls who were beaten back to their original forms. It seemed that he got along harmoniously with Tong Ming and Chunyu Lihe from the other two palaces, but compared to the degree of closeness, Hu Liuli was actually closer to the ancestor. Most of the creatures sheltered in the West Palace were foxes, and there were people like Tong Xianyu who were changed into foxes by the ancestor. These little fox fairies obeyed the arrangements and dispatches of Hu Liuli, which means that in the fox group, Hu Liuli is above the little fox fairies, and above Hu Liuli is the ancestor. In fact, Shen Wen was not very clear about their relationship. This was all he could analyze.
It really proves the saying that it is hard to see a god.
So Shen Wen decided to go to the West Palace.
Shen Wen left the restaurant and went to the vicinity of Duke Ji's mansion first, and sent someone to inquire whether Tong Xianyu from the Ji mansion was in the mansion. Not long after, the news came back that Tong Gongzi from the room of the eldest son of Ji was not in the mansion, and had just left the Ji mansion to go out of the city for fun.
Shen Wen couldn't count on Tong Xianyu, so he had to go find Xiaojiu. However, he couldn't find Xiaojiu who was waiting near Taohuazhai. Shen Wen looked back at Taohuazhai, which seemed to be peaceful and tranquil. He was afraid. Bah! No... I was afraid... No... Anyway, he was fearless. He might as well break into Taohuazhai, which was full of dangers.
Shen Wen pointed at the wall of Taohuazhai and muttered, "Ancestor! I'm here!"
Shen Wen turned around quickly, went to the entrance of Taohuazhai, and once again stepped into this secluded place that should not exist in this world.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the door of Taohuazhai, he was bounced back by an invisible force and sat down on the ground.
Another voice said to him, "Shen Wen, no matter how strange and inexplicable things are in this world, there are always causes and effects. Everything is interdependent. You don't have to look for me or the two people in the palace. The person who borrowed the corpse to come back to life is completely different from you. He can't do anything."
It was the voice of the Fox Ancestor. When Shen Wen heard him say this, he knew that he would not care no matter what.
Shen Wen left Taohuazhai and for a moment he didn't know whether he should go to the West Palace to talk to Chunyu Lihe again, because that fox was more experienced than the ancestor and they had had contact in their previous life.
Shen Wen wandered aimlessly on the street and didn't know when he reached the north gate of the imperial palace. He stood under the wall of the Forbidden City, still undecided whether to risk going inside.
Suddenly a woman's voice sounded behind him.
"You haven't given up that idea yet? Do you want to go to the West Palace to find those two to take care of this matter?"
Shen Wen turned around to look at that person, and found her to be a stunning beauty in a rosy skirt and moonlit night cap, spotless and spotless.
Although every time he met this person, she would hide in someone else's skin to cause trouble, and her appearance was always different, Shen Wen still recognized that she was the Stone Cliff Fairy.
The Stone Cliff Fairy and Shen Wen stood opposite each other, but the latter always gave people an illusion that the tall image of an immortal was rising invisibly, and there was always a majestic aura that looked down on all living beings.
She said, "You must have understood it now. What if you are a god? What if you have lived for thousands of years and cultivated great abilities? When the time comes, you only know how to avoid disasters and restrain yourself. This is not good, and you cannot take revenge or redress your grievances."
Shen Wen suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Is this your real body?"
Fairy Shiya stretched her arms and turned her head, feeling extremely comfortable and said, "How about showing me your true identity? How about hiding under me and seeking my protection?"
Shen Wen said: "Then how did you get out of Taohuazhai? Wasn't the ancestor guarding Taohuazhai to trap you?"
Fairy Shiya smiled triumphantly and said, "How can an old man like you trap me?"
Fairy Shiya turned her charming eyes and said to Shen Wen, "Little thing, you don't have to go to the West Palace to beg those two old men. I will fight the dog emperor who returned to the Forbidden City and wanted to dream of the Spring and Autumn Period again."
After saying this, the Stone Cliff Fairy's fairy clothes fluttered, and she floated away in the air, leaving behind only a string of strange laughter.
Shen Wen looked at the direction where she disappeared and had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt that he should go back to Taohuazhai again to investigate the inside story.
Shen Wen turned around and ran, using the space conversion system, and quickly returned to the entrance of Taohuazhai.
When he returned to Taohuazhai this time, he saw that the door of Taohuazhai was open, and the magnificent scenery inside was just a glimpse of the iceberg presented to the world. Before he stepped into Taohuazhai, a fairy-like man in white walked out quietly. It was obvious that the man was waiting for Shen Wen.
He walked out of Taohuazhai and stood opposite Shen Wen. He said, "What are you doing here? Now that things have developed to this point, please come with me."
Seeing him getting ready to leave, Shen Wen called out, "Hu Qiyan..."
He didn't understand why the Fox Ancestor came out like this. Wasn't he guarding Taohuazhai anymore?
The old ancestor seemed to understand what he was thinking. He sighed and said, "There is no need to guard this place anymore. I have lived for a thousand years, and only now do I understand how great the difference between the realms of gods and immortals is. Do you know how great the god behind you is?"
Shen Wen was bewildered. The few words he said were as vague as if he were listening to a book written in heaven.
The old ancestor stretched out his finger and scratched Shen Wen's nose, smiling and said: "His brilliance lies in the fact that he brought you, a soul from another world, into our complicated chess game!"
Seeing that the old ancestor was not only not in a hurry but also in a good mood, Shen Wenwei felt a lot more relaxed.
The old ancestor grabbed Shen Wen and said, "Let's go! Come back to the palace with me."
Shen Wen asked: "Will I go back to the West Palace with you? What are you going to do in the West Palace?"
The old ancestor smiled and said, "Don't you want to see what will happen to the old emperor who borrowed his grandson's body? I will take you to see it now."
The old ancestor circled Shen Wen's body, and the two of them flew into the air. In mid-air, Shen Wen inadvertently turned his head to glance at the Taohuazhai behind him. After just a quick glance, Shen Wen's eyes suddenly widened. The entire Taohuazhai, which occupied a small area, was completely immersed in the rising black fog. The black fog was like an invincible cave, so thick and dark that you couldn't see the end at a glance. In the endless black fog, occasionally a Buddha sitting on a black lotus could be seen, meditating and chanting steadily there.
The ancestor took Shen Wen away, but said that the substitute Jesse returned to Ji Guogong Chu Yanqiu.
Chu Yanqiu asked someone to help Shen Wen wash up, and called the court doctor to examine him and prescribe medicine. He stayed with him in the room from beginning to end. He was relieved when he heard the court doctor say that he had no external injuries and prescribed some tranquilizers for him to rest.
It was already evening, and the two of them had dinner at the same table. The stand-in Jesse behaved in a very taciturn manner from beginning to end. Chu Yanqiu thought that he was frightened by what happened in the Shen Mansion during the day. After all, the existence of a murderous god like the Blood Talisman was not something that ordinary people could bear from what they saw and heard.
After dinner, the maid made the bed for Jesse early. Chu Yanqiu still had no intention of leaving. Jesse was worried. He was afraid that this damn man would suddenly say, "It's late, Madam, let's undress."
Jesse was like a quiet little chicken, half of his butt was sitting on the edge of the bed, and he smiled at Chu Yanqiu and said, "You... you have been with me for so long, there should be a lot of things waiting to be dealt with, right? Aren't you going to get busy?"
Seeing that Shen Wen followed him back to his house and lived peacefully with him, Chu Yanqiu felt very satisfied. This was the beginning of their new life.
