Chapter 303 I also lied to her
Bai Bugui now absolutely does not want to graduate. He ate, slept, did purchasing on behalf of others, occasionally donated money to the fox tribe to buy indulgences, and went to the back mountain to find Wu Yun for a physical examination when he had nothing to do. He lived a leisurely life, so he began to pay attention to his living environment. The gregarious cat demon not only reveals its original form at home to live in more groups, which is very uncivilized in the eyes of Bai Bugui, a demon, but also eats smelly cans, which makes Bai Bugui very dissatisfied. And Wu Yun obviously likes kittens more than foxes.
Because of this, Bai Bugui was ridiculed by Su Jue. If it weren't for the regret expressed by the back mountain party, with the current technical conditions, there would still be some risk in separating the souls of the two people. Bai Bugui had already driven Su Jue into the mushroom's body.
The mountains in front and behind are thriving and prosperous. What makes people quite worried is Xiang Wuxing. The place where he is trapped now is still under the control of the Demon Realm. It is a difficult place to escape death, as it is close to the Demon Realm’s current camp. Although Bai Ruoru already had a solution, she was afraid that if she took action, it would definitely alert the enemy and allow Jiang Duo to destroy Xiang Wuxing's only chance of survival.
In Ning Mingmei's opinion, this matter is best done quietly. Find some traitors and no one will find out.
The last person to make a report was Xu Yao, who was in charge of intelligence. After she dismissed everyone, she asked, "Boss, how long do you think it will take you to come back?"
"Not far away." Ning Mingmei said, "In your case, it will take at most 20 years."
Xu Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Mingmei noticed the worry between her brows and asked her, "Have you thought of something?"
"Most of the people in the back mountain were born and raised in the fairy world. Even if they came from the human world, the human world is vast and most of them live in different places. But I have a subordinate who grew up in the capital of the human world. She was originally a lady from a famous family, but her whole family was imprisoned in the political struggle, and later fled to the fairy world. Therefore, her understanding and feelings about the human world are more acute and more profound than ours." Xu Yao laid the groundwork, "Her family was later vindicated. Although she no longer has any feelings for the human court, her nephew went back to be an official and a loyal minister to serve the court. Therefore, she still cares about the affairs of the human world."
"so?"
"The old emperor won't live long. For an old emperor like him, living to this age has already exhausted all the resources of the world. All in all, he has only a few decades left to live," said Xu Yao.
"There are such good things in the world..." Ning Mingmei immediately thought of the only thing missing from his lotus lantern: fire within fire.
Shouldn't we take advantage of the grand and violent death of the old emperor to pay our respects and take some things away?
"The old emperor has dozens of descendants, among whom more than ten are capable of inheriting the throne. Each of them will fight for all the resources they can at all costs." Xu Yao said, "I'm afraid that the human world in the next few decades will..."
"Hasn't the immortal world always promised not to interfere in worldly affairs and never interfere with the royal family of the human world?" Ning Mingmei asked knowingly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"The human world is a big pie, who wouldn't want to take a bite? Cultivators are also human. Moreover, the human royal family carries the dragon vein and has great luck. If you can use the royal luck to cultivate, the effect will be twice the result with half the effort."
Ning Mingmei pondered for a moment and said, "I just hope Fang Wuyu can control his temper and not get involved in this matter."
"Fang Wuyu is fine, but I'm afraid of Qi Miancheng."
"Qi Miancheng?" Ning Mingmei was surprised. "Hasn't he been in office for hundreds of years..."
A vegetative state?
Speaking of which, I wonder how Qi Miancheng’s mouth-breathing project is progressing. Ning Mingmei is very much looking forward to it.
"But how can the Qi family be willing to accept this? What if a prince in the human world's royal family finds a way to wake Qi Miancheng up? What if a prince in the human world's royal family secretly colluded with the demon world? What should we do?" Xu Yao said, "Which side should the Qingji Sect stand on at that time?"
Ning Mingmei was very keenly aware of something: "Is there a prince trying to reach out to the Qingji Sect?"
"There is a clue." Xu Yao said.
Ning Mingmei frowned. Then, Xu Yao said, "Besides that, there is one more thing. After the Changle Gate Incident, you ordered me to check the whereabouts of Mu Hanshan and Elder Chang. Before that, my people had not been able to find their whereabouts. It was as if they had disappeared. They had not participated in any incidents or performed any magic in the past hundred years."
It even sounds like he ran away to some uninhabited mountain and lived in seclusion for a while.
"Mu Hanshan only left a letter to Wen Siheng and Duan Ying, saying that he was fine and there was no need to look for him. Apart from that, there were no other clues. But in the past few days, someone saw traces of Elder Chang in the internal rituals of the Crescent Moon Sect." Xu Yao said.
"New Moon Sect..." Ning Mingmei stood up straight, "Is the New Moon Sect developing very well now?"
"...Even some small countries in the Western Regions in the human world have converted to the Crescent Moon Religion and established it as their state religion. They say that if you convert to the Crescent Moon Religion and express your true gratitude, you can enter the Heaven on Earth. The human world is full of sufferings and disasters, and the Heaven on Earth is your only home." Xu Yao said slowly, "Because the old emperor was dying, the Crescent Moon Religion did not attract their attention very quickly. But now they are acting more and more high-profile, preaching in major capitals in the human world, and have attracted the attention of officials from all over the country..."
Ning Mingmei calmed his mind: "It is not uncommon to use religion as a pretext to amass wealth and seize power."
"But the Crescent Moon Cult is promoting a doomsday prophecy." Xu Yao said, "The end of the world is approaching, the shadow is coming, matter will eventually be destroyed, but the soul will be eternally reborn in heaven on earth, the land of eternity... I always feel that this is not a good thing. Moreover, because the Crescent Moon Cult rescued the people during the war, it has a high status in the hearts of many people, and it is difficult for us to exclude..."
"It is difficult to rule out the possibility that some princes recruited the Crescent Moon Sect to help them seize the throne." Ning Mingmei said.
Xu Yao agreed. Ning Mingmei pondered for a long time and said, "The old emperor won't live much longer."
Ning Mingmei was not particularly anxious to leave Xinghuo Island. But a few decades later, big changes were imminent, so he had to put the matter of leaving Xinghuo Island on the agenda earlier.
But ideas are one thing, reality is another. The energy accumulated in the Spark Island teleportation array is limited, and it is not enough for Ning Mingmei to make a complete return trip. Unless Ning Mingmei changes the transmission destination.
With the extremely limited energy currently accumulated by the teleportation array, where can Ning Mingmei be teleported safely?
Fortunately, there were many notes about the teleportation array on Xinghuo Island in Weng Xingyun's office, including a map of the available teleportation array locations on the mainland. Ning Mingmei took out the map and fell into deep thought.
He calculated with pen and paper, and the model gradually took shape in his mind. In the end, Ning Mingmei drew a circle of locations.
There are three teleportation points, one in the demon world and one in the human world.
Unfortunately, Ning Mingmei had heard of the teleportation point to the human world, but it had been destroyed in a war four hundred years ago. Ning Mingmei happened to know the teleportation array of the demon world, and it was still usable. It is located in a remote area. It is an isolated city that once belonged to humans, was later occupied by demons, and was eventually abandoned in the yellow sand. As for whether it is still usable now, Ning Mingmei sent his men to confirm it.
However, it was the third location that caught Ning Mingmei's attention.
"This... is the place closest to the Heavenly Gate. It is the most magnificent altar in the six realms."
The altar stands on the pillar of heaven. The Pillar of Heaven rises high into the clouds, connecting the sky above and the abyss below. The abyss is so deep that it is said that there is a crack in it left over from the creation of the world. At that time, the goddess passed through this altar and flew to the Heavenly Gate with the help of various tribes.
To get here, not only do you have to accept the test of your cultivation and character, but it is also extremely dangerous among the layers of clouds and fog. After finding the entrance to the Pillar of Heaven, you still have to climb up ten thousand steps. Detailed information about the Tianzhu Altar has long been lost in history, leaving only these legends.
But there was actually this place on Weng Xingyun's map... and there was another thing that shocked Ning Mingmei.
She circled most of the teleportation array marks on the map with a pen. This means that she has been to all the places where these teleportation arrays are located.
The location of the Tianzhu Altar also has coordinates written on it and a circle drawn around it.
In other words, she had been to this altar before she died!
"And what did she see at the altar at that time?" Ning Mingmei suddenly thought to himself, "She also wanted to open the gate to heaven? She also wanted to save people? After so many years, is there any trace left on the altar?"
After this process of repeated thinking, Ning Mingmei made a copy of the map and carefully put it into his Qiankun bag. Weng Xingyun's study is very large. He originally came here with the intention of reading some information, so he only read the books here as information.
Although Tianmen is interesting, it is not what he should do at this moment... As the time of departure is approaching, Ning Mingmei looks at these books and thinks that for those that he didn't have time to take away, he should find a way to make a copy and take them away.
After all, there are so many mysteries here. For example, this map. Who would have thought that such a simple map would contain such important information?
Ning Mingmei consciously reproduces these books on a daily basis. Now, all he needed to do was to complete the copy of the last bookshelf - the bookshelf where the map was located. But when he took out the last book, copied it and put it away, he suddenly heard a "click".
That sound frightened him.
There are no living things on Spark Island, no day or night, only the white moon that Ning Mingmei put in the sky. It was so quiet, there shouldn't be any sound.
But Ning Mingmei heard the sound of the mechanism... It was like hearing the echo of the dead, as if something had come to life.
Ning Mingmei looked towards the place on the bookshelf where the sound came from. That place was originally smooth, but now there is a depression with a pattern on it. Ning Mingmei stared at the pattern for a long time and suddenly realized something.
He took out the lotus lantern from his package.
He placed the lotus lantern into the depression. Slowly, he heard the sound of the mechanism being opened.
Something was mechanically delivered from the mezzanine. Ning Mingmei suppressed his excitement and looked carefully.
it turns out……
"A letter and a notebook?"
He took out the letter first. After opening the envelope and taking out the letter inside, Ning Mingmei was surprised to find that it was actually a blank piece of paper.
"No, this must not be a prank. I need patience."
Ning Mingmei stared at the white paper for a long time, and finally, lines of words appeared on the white paper.
That was the self he was very familiar with, the Hengshui body, but a somewhat distorted Hengshui body.
Every word... is like a pair of hanged feet...
"You are finally here." The owner of the font wrote.
Ning Mingmei felt a chill on his back. But soon, the next sentence made him feel a little relieved.
"You have the Lotus Lantern, can enter the study room smoothly, and have finished reading all the books here... It seems that you are the trustworthy successor we finally chose."
"It feels great to find a trustworthy successor at the end of my life. Maybe I won't be able to see it anymore, but as long as I know there are people coming, I will be full of hope."
"I've been feeling really bad lately. For example, when I was writing this... my mind was often distracted... I wrote one sentence and then I had no idea what the next sentence was."
"Anyway..."
Then, there were large areas of blackened marks!
Ning Mingmei saw many seemingly frantic handwritings in the blackened trace. But he couldn't see what each word meant. He could only try to make out. Finally, he saw a passage behind the blacked-out text that he could make out:
"I saw behind the altar..."
"I can also tell her that I have lied to her before..."
"That's... fair... she can accept it..."
