The firelight was reflected in Chen Kuang's pupils, as well as the Taoist's almost ugly appearance.
A subtle chill climbed up my spine, as if a centipede had stretched out countless legs and was crawling up my skin.
Although the Taoist priest in front of him looked like a human being, he gave him an inexplicably disgusting feeling.
Today, he finally met one of the culprits who had caused him to be displaced and hunted since he crossed over.
The former national teacher of Liang State, who was said to have refined the elixir of immortality and presented it to Su Yu.
And it is very likely that he also gave Su Yu advice, making him a shadow behind Chen Kuang.
But the strange thing is that Chen Kuang could not sense this man's cultivation level.
Chen Kuang had already known from the evil incarnations of Han Shan and Tong Shi that Jiang Wuya, who was captured and taken to Prince Jingnan's Mansion, had no cultivation and was completely a mortal.
However, Chen Kuang thought that Jiang Wuya must be pretending.
How could such a person have no cultivation?
Even though it is generally difficult for practitioners to accurately judge the other party's cultivation level, as long as there is spiritual energy on the body, the breath and momentum will be different, and one can roughly know the other party's level of cultivation.
Even if others can't see it, Chen Kuang has the passive skill of "Seeing Through Fire", so how could he not feel the other person's cultivation?
But when Chen Kuang really faced Jiang Wuya, he found...
There is really no spiritual energy at all on the other party, and no cultivation at all!
"How is it possible..."
Chen Kuang took a deep breath and became extremely alert.
Based on his understanding of this world, this abnormal situation represents the real danger.
Because he was sure that the other party couldn't be without cultivation—
How could a person without any cultivation appear in front of him silently, and he had no idea or warning at all before that?
But whether it is "seeing through things like fire" or "sudden inspiration", they all seem to be ineffective.
This situation has never been seen before!
Su Huaiying's pupils constricted. She had seen this bald-headed Taoist priest before in her memory.
But at that time, she was still in her infancy. This person seemed to be reading her fortune in front of Su Yu, but she had no memory of what he said specifically.
Even though he was gifted and intelligent, Su Huaiying could only remember things that happened six months later at most, and before that, everything was a mess.
However, she knew this person's identity very clearly.
After the fall of Liang, this person disappeared and the Imperial Master's Mansion was deserted, just like the fake Taoist priests who cheated people by offering elixirs as described in all the story books.
If it was because he was seeking profit and avoiding harm, or was afraid of being implicated, then he appeared here again at this moment, targeting Chen Kuang. What was his purpose?
Chen Kuang calmed down and took out the glass shadow lamp. He flicked it with his fingers and said slowly:
"You were the one who told Prince Jingnan about my whereabouts and identity, right?"
As soon as the glazed shadow-reflecting lamp appeared, the dilapidated temple immediately became brightly lit, and the shadows of all objects disappeared in this light.
Only behind Chen Kuang, not only did he retain his own shadow, but there was also an even taller shadow.
Wearing a crown with twelve tassels, he looks like an emperor!
Su Huaiying's little face suddenly changed.
Combined with the previous conversation with Zhang Zhizhou, the little princess finally understood what the piece of the puzzle that she didn't know was.
Her father was indeed not dead. Not only that, he had possessed Chen Kuang through some means!
It looked like it was waiting for the moment to devour Chen Kuang...
Jiang Wuya chuckled, rubbed his hands and said:
"Isn't it for self-protection? If I don't tell you, King Jingnan will be very cruel. Not only will he torture me, but he will also take my life."
"Self-protection?"
Chen Kuang said with a forced smile: "I remember Wen Qie pierced both of your feet with 'Red Dragon Thorns'. If you don't have any cultivation, you will definitely not be able to break free."
"But now, not only have you broken free, you seem to be unharmed. Without knowing this, what can the Taoist priest say?"
Jiang Wuya's feet and ankles were indeed intact, without any visible scars except for a thick layer of dirt.
The bald-headed Taoist priest looked down, scratched his legs, and muttered:
"It was just a mistake. How did he know about this?"
He raised his head, grinning with his yellow teeth, and said, "Don't worry about such details."
Chen Kuang said in a deep voice: "Okay, then I won't beat around the bush. I only have one question I want to know: what exactly is the elixir of immortality?"
In his opinion, since Jiang Wuya had revealed the so-called "ghosts behind him", he must not intend to conceal the whole story.
All he wanted was the truth; he didn't want to be a muddle-headed, manipulated pawn.
Jiang Wuya spread his hands and said, "I don't know either."
Chen Kuang sneered: "You are the one who presented the elixir of immortality, don't you know?"
What about ghosts offering medicine? This kind of talk may be enough to fool ghosts, but if Jiang Wuya brings it up now, it means he is trying to fool fools.
Jiang Wuya looked at him, his eyes flashing with an almost gorgeous purple light:
"The elixir of immortality is the elixir of immortality, but what exactly is the elixir of immortality? I really don't know."
Chen Kuang was silent.
Can the Riddler get out of Cangyuan?!
Chen Kuang took a deep breath.
Well, by guessing, he could roughly understand what Jiang Wuya meant.
The elixir of immortality itself is indeed the elixir of immortality.
