Chapter 29: Jing, You Can't Do This



In this world, the secular feudal dynasties have historians who specialize in compiling history, but the sects in the world of cultivation do not have similar positions.

Only some sect deacons who guard the classics will sort and store the various ancient books collected by the sect into different categories - that's all, it is impossible to compile them, so you can just read what you want to read, and forget about it if you don't want to.

Therefore, most of the ancient secrets that most monks know come from word of mouth, except for the occasional read in the Sutra Library, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

To some extent, the average experience of monks is even far less than that of modern people in the era of information explosion.

In the era of information explosion, it is impossible for you to know everything about the world. It is more effective to be familiar with various search engines.

However, in this era, a book as thick as a Xinhua Dictionary can probably record all the "things in the world".

After all, the channels for information dissemination are too closed, and there are not many news items that can be spread to the level of "world affairs".

Ling Yunpo can be certain that this secret realm of Golden Palace hangs high in the sky, and there must be some magical means to detect the world.

In addition, these True Lords, like the Sword Master in the Baiyujing Secret Realm, are all projections left by the former great human beings. Usually they do nothing in the Secret Realm, but just keep track of these "world affairs". Who can compare with them?

If my guess is correct, any "ancient secrets" that can be found in ancient books, or any "major events in the world" that can be narrated by irrelevant people, will definitely not be able to be concealed from the eyes and ears of these True Lords.

In order to win this test, you must come up with real information - secrets obtained from the mouths of eyewitnesses of the incident, which have never been leaked on a large scale, are the most likely answers to the requirements.

However, if it is really a secret that is so secret that no one knows about it, then how can you confirm that it is true and not something you made up?

I think maybe we can only use arithmetic to verify it...

Ling Yunpo's thoughts were racing as he considered various possibilities in his mind, while others also gradually thought of what Master Mo Gu had thought, that is, "the one who speaks first has the advantage", and quickly rushed to share the secrets they knew.

Unfortunately, just as Ling Yunpo speculated above, no matter what secrets everyone talked about, that True Lord Zi Yuan could add more details very quickly and clearly, as if she herself was a person who was present at the story.

Ling Yunpo watched coldly and asked Ah Jing secretly:

"A Jing, do you have any secrets that can help me pass this test?"

"I have plenty of secrets," Kunlun Jing replied, "but I can't guarantee whether this Purple Yuan Zhenjun has heard of it."

"And there is still a problem." Ling Yunpo said in a deep voice, "How do I explain the source of this secret?"

"No need for that, right?" Kunlun Jing asked curiously, "Why don't you just say you read it in a book? Besides, these people are not Shushan monks, so how could they possibly suspect you for this?"

"It's better not to arouse suspicion." Ling Yunpo reminded, "Although it must be an ancient secret, it's better not to be of such importance that people will think 'I must report it to the master immediately' when they hear it."

"Your requests are really increasing." Kunlun Jing sighed and said, "Okay, let me think about it."

Before she could figure it out, she heard Demon Bone Master suddenly laugh:

"Fellow Daoist Qingheng, why did everyone else share their experiences, but you didn't say a word? Did you give up in advance because you were not confident of passing the test?"

After what happened with Qiu Changtian, Ling Yunpo already knew that this guy had some mental problems, so he simply ignored him.

As a result, the other party continued to persevere and said:

"How about this, you withdraw from the test now and give the qualification to my men. I will also give you some compensation, how about that?"

"After all, you Shushan monks can do nothing but fly swords. I am doing this to save your face."

Ling Yunpo sighed and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Kunlun Mirror say:

"Yes, you might as well ask the True Lord Zi Yuan if he knows anything about the fairyland."

"What fairyland?" Ling Yunpo was confused. "A Jing, are you talking about the fairyland after the immortals ascended to heaven?"

"Of course." Kunlun Jing said with a smile, "These True Lords are the projections left by the great powers of the human race in this world. Those great powers of the human race must not have ascended to heaven at that time, so it is impossible for them to know anything about the fairy world. If you tell her about the fairy world, you will definitely pass the test."

"So that's how it is. That's a good idea." Ling Yunpo sneered, "So why do I know about this fairyland? If no one else mentions it, what if this Demon Bone Immortal goes back and spreads it rashly, and the whole cultivation world knows about it? Then when people from Shushan come to ask me, 'Where did you learn about the fairyland?' How should I answer?"

"Just say you read it in a book..."

"Come on, I knew you were unreliable!"

Ling Yunpo and Kunlun Jing were bickering with each other, while Demon Bone Master saw that he remained silent and said with a smile:

"He's still a taciturn person? But considering he's from Shushan, it's not surprising."

"Enough!" After hearing this person insulting Shushan again and again, the calm and steady Master Shi Yuan could no longer bear it. "Mo Gu, if you want to take part in the test, think about your secrets carefully and don't say such unnecessary words, otherwise it will only expose your shallowness and ignorance."

“No, no, no, I don’t mean to look down on him.” Master Mogu suddenly crossed his legs roughly and sneered, “Master Qingheng didn’t say anything because he saw through it from the beginning. There is no way he can win this test.”

"Master Zi Yuan, let me ask you: if we really told you an ancient secret that you have never heard before, how would you judge whether it is true or not?"

“Although I have never heard of it, there are methods of calculation that can verify it.” True Lord Ziyuan said with a smile.

"That's where the problem lies!" Demon Bone Master clapped his hands and said, "We thought of an ancient secret, and just when we started, you immediately used your magic to figure out the whole story, and then you said a lot of nonsense, and finally said, 'I already knew this secret.' How can we argue with you like this?"

"Because you have been invincible since the beginning!"

Ling Yunpo listened secretly and thought that this Demon Bone Master was quite good at talking nonsense.

These True Lords designed the tests not to stump everyone, but to eliminate most of them and leave one person to inherit the position of the Lord of the Golden Palace.

If no one passes this test in the end, it means that the golden throne in hand cannot be given away, and the True Lord will have to think of another test all over again. Isn't that asking for trouble?

However, he also realized that the reason why Demon Bone Master was making such a fuss was because he felt that the possibility of passing the test by following the rules was slim, so he tried to instigate and incite everyone to make a fuss and use some tricks outside the game.

Sure enough, another person who came from the magic sect, Lianshan Zhenren, immediately started to shout at the top of his voice:

"What Mo Gu said is absolutely right! No one has been able to pass this test from the beginning, so what's the point of us coming here?"

Looking at Tianlan and Shiyuan again, although they did not agree verbally, their expressions seemed to be shaken.
