Bai Yunsheng did not expect that the young man who was being hunted was actually the descendant of the immortal beast Tingting from Queshan Mountain.
It is said that the listening monster was born with three eyes. It can hear the will of heaven from above and the pulse of the earth from below. It can know one hundred years before and one hundred years after. It is very remarkable.
The "Peeping Heaven Jue" by Tianmu Wang Yinsheng and the "Tianji Jue" by Tianji Old Man are the two most powerful prophetic skills that go hand in hand in the world.
Bai Yunsheng's plan to rest for an hour in Qianzhou City turned into a day's rest.
After the young man had recovered from his injuries, the two of them took two kilograms of strong liquor and set off for Que Mountain together.
The autumn wind makes the horse's hooves rush all the way.
The young man's face returned to cream color, and he said cheerfully: "My benefactor, are you from Qianzhou City?"
Bai Yunsheng gave a rare smile and said: "Of course, otherwise how could I use the teleportation array?"
The name of this young man in white is Yin Liang. He is the youngest son of Tianmu King Yin Yisheng. He is only 12 years old. More than a month ago, he and his elder brother Yin Jian got permission from their father to go down the mountain to play together. Unexpectedly, on the way back, they bumped into Yanyu Tower.
The killer.
On the way to Que Mountain, Yin Liang asked questions innocently and curiously. He was lively and cute, not playful, and seemed to have recovered from the fear of being chased by a killer for fifty miles.
Bai Yunsheng felt inexplicably fond of this child for a moment.
Having said that, if it weren't for some other reasons that had his life span devoured for decades, he would still be just a twenty-year-old carefree young man. He seemed to see some shadows of his past in Yin Liang.
Yin Liang shook his little head and asked happily: "Bai Engong, did you go to Queshan to find my father?"
"Yes, Senior Yin is one of the eight lords of the Demon Realm. I have long been familiar with his name. This time I left the mansion, I made a special trip to visit him on the mountain."
Bai Yunsheng hadn't talked to others so patiently for a long time. He was in a good mood and asked instead:
"You said you went down the mountain with your brother? Where are the others?"
Yin Liang's face darkened, he shook his head in despair and said:
"I don't know. My brother lured away most of the killers. The man in black kept chasing me, so I got separated from my brother and the other followers were nowhere to be found."
There was no flaw in Yin Liang's words, but it made Bai Yunsheng suspicious.
This kind of thing is understandable in nature, but as long as the matter in Jianghu is related to Yanyu Tower, I'm afraid the problem will not be that simple.
Moreover, now is the time of war in the Yidi Mountain Demon Territory, and the various forces are very sensitive. Just a little spark is enough to ignite a raging war.
"Could it be that his brother Yin Jian paid for the murder?"
Bai Yunsheng guessed in his heart, but then more questions popped up.
"What is Yin Jian's motive?"
"Now that the Heavenly Eye King Yin Yisheng is still at the peak of his cultivation, what kind of hatred can there be between brothers at this time?"
"Or... Yanyulou took over the job of the Jintu rebels and wants to force Queshan into the game?"
The more Bai Yunsheng thought about it, the more fishy this matter became. He looked at Yin Liang on the horse and temporarily put aside his doubts.
Because when we get to Queshan, everything will come to light.
Jinzhi Ridge, an unowned mountain outside Que Mountain, is the only way to enter Que Mountain.
The rolling ridge is now silent and deserted, with wild trees and branches surrounding it, and the life is a bit chaotic. Dots of green are dotted on the dark green rocks, like patches of moist moss.
To enter Queshan, this is the nearest way.
Yin Liang was very familiar with this place, and he led Bai Yunsheng, so the journey was uneventful.
However, although Bai Yunsheng was relaxed, he did not completely let down his guard. He already knew very well that if Yanyulou really targeted the Tingting clan, he would never let it go.
Soon, the ridge emerged and the forest dispersed.
Yin Liang pointed to several lofty mountains in front of him and said excitedly: "My dear, my home is in front of me. If we walk another three miles, we will reach the foot of Que Mountain."
Bai Yunsheng was about to speak.
"Whoosh."
Two silent rays of sword light suddenly shot out from the dense mountain forest, one after another, directly hitting Yin Liang's heavenly spirit and heart.
"careful!"
Bai Yunsheng gave a low shout, jumped up from the horse with Yin Liang in his arms, and took seven killing steps to seize the road.
Yin Liang was woken up by Bai Yunsheng, and when he saw the flying knife, he broke out in a cold sweat.
The galloping horse neighed and was instantly stabbed to death.
Before the two of them landed, "whoosh", there were two more knife lights, fast and cold.
Seeing that Bai Yunsheng had no time to dodge, he decisively separated the swords. The Changsheng Sword knocked away the fatal flying knife in front of him, while he used his body to block the knife from behind.
"puff."
The flying knife penetrated deeply into Bai Yunsheng's back.
Bai Yunsheng still held Yin Liang in his arms, and the karma in his body circulated rapidly, resolving the cold karma that had invaded his meridians.
There was no time to stop, so he took back the Eternal Life Sword, forgetting the bleeding wound on his back, and ran forward with Yin Liang in his arms.
The enemy is in darkness, but we are in the light.
Bai Yunsheng was unable to confirm the number of killers, so they had to get to Queshan as quickly as possible before they could enter a safe area.
No matter how arrogant Yanyulou is, he will definitely not dare to act wild at the feet of the Demon Realm King.
"Swish swish."
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen knives were chasing after him from behind, heading straight for the vital points behind Bai Yunsheng. Every stab he made was enough to kill him.
Bai Yunsheng gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his back. Karma circulated throughout his body. The speed of the Seven Killing Steps under his feet suddenly increased sharply, leaving behind a black afterimage and dodging those deadly flying knives.
Yin Liang, who was hiding in Bai Yunsheng's arms, was already scared out of his wits, but the young master of Diting was considered strong and kept clenching his teeth without saying a word.
He knew that Bai Yunsheng had been injured and his pace had reached its extreme speed.
The scenery in front of me quickly receded.
Under Bai Yunsheng's full speed, Queshan Mountain appeared in front of him in less than a cup of tea.
The killer behind him disappeared without a trace.
As Bai Yunsheng expected, Yanyulou did not dare to act recklessly in front of the demon world lord.
Bai Yunsheng stopped and took a breath, but suddenly a sharp pain came from his back.
That seemingly ordinary flying knife was extremely powerful, and the ribs on Bai Yunsheng's back were broken in half.
After setting foot on Queshan Mountain, Bai Yunsheng put Yin Liang down and immediately sat on the ground to use his karma to heal his injuries.
Yin Liang's little face was full of anxiety, and tears were about to come out:
"My dear friend, are you okay? You lost a lot of blood."
This little injury is naturally not a big problem.
Bai Yun smiled without any trace of a successful plan, because he knew that Yin Yisheng was coming soon.
He nursed himself back to health for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."
Yin Liang was new to the world and did not understand what serious injuries were. He stood up in a hurry and said:
"My dear friend, please wait here while I go to find my father and ask him to help you."
After saying that, I was about to run away.
A cold voice suddenly came from the majestic mountains: "No need, I'm already here."
As the sound approached, an elegant middle-aged man floated down from behind the mountain, like a fallen leaf brushed down by the mountain god from the top of the mountain.
He has green hair and green eyes, straight eyebrows and starry eyes, and his whole body is indescribably chic and elegant.
After the man landed, Yin Liang seemed to have seen a god. He immediately ran over and hugged the man's waist, crying:
"Father! I thought I would never see you again!"
The Heavenly Eye King Yin Yisheng gently stroked his youngest son's hair, his eyes full of doting. Then he patted Yin Liang's shoulder and comforted:
"Liang'er, don't cry. Dad told you that men don't shed tears easily!"
Yin Yisheng's slightly majestic words were very effective. Yin Liang let go of the hand holding Yin Yisheng, wiped away his tears, and said in surprise: "Dad, how did you know I'm here?"
However, Yin Yisheng kept looking at Bai Yunsheng and replied: "I don't know what's going on on Queshan Mountain."
Yin Liang took Yin Yisheng's hand, walked to Bai Yunsheng who was cross-legged to heal his injury, and said excitedly:
"Dad, this is my benefactor Bai Yunsheng. My brother and I were being hunted. He saved me in Qianzhou City. He also blocked a knife for me on the road just now."
Yin Yisheng didn't seem to hear his youngest son's words, and stared at Bai Yunsheng behind the mask, as if he wanted to see through his soul.
"Oh? I can't see his cultivation clearly."
Yin Yisheng thought to himself in surprise.
Bai Yunsheng, who closed his eyes to heal his wounds, was clearly aware of the scene outside. He could clearly feel that Yin Yisheng's seemingly ordinary eyes had the ability to see through people.
After a while, Bai Yunsheng woke up from his recovery, and felt a little happy. This knife brought him a direct meeting with Yin Yisheng, which was a very good deal.
On the way to Queshan, Bai Yunsheng was still worried about what to do if Yin Yisheng didn't see him. After all, this Tianmu King claimed to be omniscient and omniscient. What if he learned his identity and deliberately missed him?
It's not a trip in vain.
So when the Yanyulou killer appeared just now, Bai Yunsheng's plan fell into the trap.
I was injured trying to save your son, you wouldn't avoid it, would you?
Seeing Bai Yunsheng regaining consciousness, Yin Yisheng showed a meaningful smile and said politely:
"Yin thanked Brother Bai for saving Quanzi's life."
Bai Yunsheng knew Yin Yisheng's identity as soon as he saw the blue sky eye mark between the other person's eyebrows, so he returned the favor:
"Junior Bai Yunsheng, I would like to pay my respects to King Yin Tian."
"Hahaha......"
Yin Yisheng laughed and said: "Brother Bai, you are so polite. Yin has not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time and has already lived up to his reputation as a heavenly king."
Bai Yunsheng still said respectfully: "Senior, you are too modest. I have already heard Master Jing Hao's evaluation of you. Your listening eyes are unique in the world, and no one can break the magical pupil technique."
Yin Yisheng put away his smile and asked curiously: "Oh? Are you a subordinate of Boss Jing?"
Just as Bai Yunsheng was about to speak, Yin Yisheng patted his head and said ashamedly:
"Hey, look at me, after living in these deep mountains and old forests for a long time, people have become confused. How can I let guests stand here and talk. Brother Bai, please follow me up the mountain. Let's sit down and chat slowly."
Bai Yunsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yin Yisheng did not chase away the guests. He leaned over and saluted, saying: "It is better for me to obey my orders than to be respectful."
Tianyi Pavilion.
This is the place where Yin Yisheng drank tea and rested on weekdays.
The attic is built on a small mountain peak. Next to it, there is a 100-foot waterfall flying down. It is majestic and filled with water mist, just like a nine-day Milky Way lost in the world.
Outside the pavilion is surrounded by green trees, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant.
The rumbling sound of the waterfall is magically blocked by a beaded curtain outside the window. Sitting in the quiet pavilion, one's mood will calm down involuntarily.
Bai Yunsheng took a sip of tea first, and felt the fragrance of the tea was fragrant. It was warm and moist when it entered the throat. The aroma lingered for a long time, and he said intoxicatedly:
"Senior is really a strange person and a true saint. Living in such a remote place, I really envy others."
For the first time, Bai Yunsheng felt that tea could also be intoxicating.
Yin Yisheng slowly sipped the tea and said with a smile:
"When you get old, you should find a place to rest. The chaos in the outside world is no longer suitable for me. Don't call me like the senior lord. If you don't mind, just call me big brother."
As soon as Yin Yisheng said these words, Bai Yunsheng smiled bitterly in his heart.
It seems that the legend is true. People who are close to the King of Heavenly Eyes have no hidden secrets in their hearts.
"Then Bai is so high up, Brother Yin!"
After saying this, Bai Yunsheng drank the fragrant tea in silence and slowly thought about how to persuade Yin Yisheng.
Yin Yisheng talked about something else first.
"Brother Bai, you said the killer chasing Liang'er is from Yanyulou?"
Bai Yunsheng did not answer, and directly took out the Baiyun Blood Rain Token from his arms.
Yin Yisheng recognized Yanyu Ling at a glance, his face immediately darkened, and he said coldly:
"I didn't expect that Yanyulou's tentacles have already reached Nanhuang. But what is his purpose in killing Liang'er?"
Bai Yunsheng put down his tea cup, looked at the Milky Way Falls in front of him, and said calmly:
"Brother Yin, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."
Yin Yisheng's eyes flashed with green light. He wanted to see what Bai Yunsheng was thinking, but gave up immediately and asked doubtfully: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
How could Bai Yunsheng fail to see Yin Yisheng's little move just now, but it made his impression of Yin Yisheng a little better.
After all, no one wants to be forcibly peeked into the secrets of their hearts, and it is easy for the King of Heavenly Eyes to see what he is thinking.
Bai Yunsheng touched the tip of his nose and rolled his eyes behind the mask a few times. He did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject and said:
"Brother Yin may have guessed it. To be honest, my younger brother is here to ask my eldest brother to join the coalition forces and put down the rebellion together on the orders of Lord Jinghao."
Yin Yisheng was not angry, nor was he in a hurry to answer. He picked up the tea cup again, took a few sips carefully, and then said slowly:
"I guessed your purpose as soon as you came here. Unfortunately, I can't agree to this."
"Why?" Bai Yunsheng asked immediately.
Yin Yisheng seemed to have something to hide, shook his head and said:
"In short, I, Queshan, will not participate in this war. But if you go back and tell Boss Jing, he can rest assured that I will not help Jintu either."
Bai Yunsheng heard what seemed to be the difficulties in Yin Yisheng's words, and did not ask any more questions. He rolled his eyes and suddenly continued what he had just said, talking about something else:
"Brother Yin, I heard that you have two sons?"
"Yes, I have an eldest son named Yin Jian. Why do you ask this?"
"Where is he now?"
"Jian'er went down the mountain with Yin Liang to play a few days ago, and he hasn't returned yet."
Bai Yunsheng began to speak with a hint of edge:
"My younger brother heard Yin Liang mention it before he went up the mountain. This time, the two of them went down the mountain together and were hunted down. Why is it that only the second young master came back and there was no news about the eldest young master?"
Yin Yisheng instantly understood the meaning of Bai Yunsheng's words, his pleasant expression disappeared in an instant, and he said seriously:
"Do you suspect that Jian'er colluded with people from Yanyulou to kill Xiaoliang?"
Bai Yunsheng quickly waved his hand and said:
"This is just my guess, Brother Yin, don't take it seriously. Nowadays, the Demon Realm is in chaos, and anything can happen. As the eldest brother, he is in the position of a lord, and the two are not helping each other, so it is inevitable that he will be hated by others."
Yin Yisheng stood up solemnly, walked to the pavilion window, and looked at the waterfall falling outside the window. The rapidly falling water seemed to hit his heart.
He has never doubted the people around him, let alone his own son.
Bai Yunsheng struck while the iron was hot and continued:
"Brother Yin possesses the secret ability to see into the sky. Brother Yin should know better than me what other people are thinking."
After a while, Yin Yisheng turned his back and said:
"What you said makes sense, but it's just one-sided words. Besides, I won't pry into the souls of my loved ones. This is a taboo in our clan."
Bai Yunsheng suddenly felt anxious in his heart. He came here just to win over this great god. Seeing that Yin Yisheng was still hesitating, he had to show his last trick.
"Brother Yin, I wonder if you still remember my face."
As he spoke, Bai Yunsheng slowly took off his black mask, revealing his true face with white hair as white as bone.
Yin Yisheng's mood was elsewhere, but when he saw Bai Yunsheng's appearance, the muscles on his face stiffened instantly, and his thoughts suddenly fell on this face.
It was a face he would never forget.
Two years ago, in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, the owner of this face burned the second lord of the Demon Realm, Jin Xie, into ashes while talking and laughing.
"You are the new demon king!"
Although his hair had turned gray, Yin Yisheng still recognized Bai Yunsheng at a glance.
"I said how can there be people in this world that I can't understand."
Yin Yisheng said in disbelief, and Bai Yunsheng was about to persuade him again.
Suddenly, he felt as if his body was sealed by something. His face was stiff, and even the blood and sweat could not move. He could only open his eyes wide and stare at Yin Yisheng, who was covered in blue light.
A green light shot out from the blue emblem on King Tianmu's forehead, illuminating every part of Bai Yunsheng's body.
In an instant, Bai Yunsheng was shocked, as if his whole soul had been nakedly looked at, as if his clothes had been stripped off and thrown on the street. He felt terrible, ashamed, angry, and powerless.
After a while, Yin Yisheng closed his heavenly eye, and the green light converged.
Bai Yunsheng suddenly regained his ability to move. He almost collapsed on the ground while holding on to the stone table. He was sweating profusely, as if he had just experienced a big battle.
The reputation of Listening to Heaven is indeed not in vain.
"There is no evil spirit, and it is not a monster, but there is good luck in the Dantian, flowing through the sky. How could this happen?"
Yin Yisheng murmured to himself, not paying attention to Bai Yunsheng's strange behavior at this time.
After a while, Bai Yunsheng finally calmed down the chaos in his body and slowly stood up.
Yin Yishengcai's eyes were sharp and he said deeply: "You are indeed the person who killed the golden centipede in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, but you are not that person."
Bai Yunsheng was not angry because of what just happened. Instead, he lowered his eyes and said mysteriously: "People will always change."
Yin Yisheng stared at Bai Yunsheng again, temporarily suppressed the suspicion in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled:
"Jing Hao actually let the Demon King himself act as a lobbyist. It's getting more and more outrageous."
Bai Yunsheng didn't pay attention to King Tianmu's teasing. He stood up, walked to the pavilion window, looked at Yin Yisheng face to face, and said seriously:
"Brother Yin, I hope you can reconsider joining the coalition."
