Chapter 830: Hidden Place

Dang Jiang felt a chill in his heart and asked: "Then you mean..."

Chi Buzi's light green eyes stared at him tightly, and he said in a low voice: "This move is unavoidable. Once the Lu Water sees me and suspects my cultivation, do you think he will ask me nicely where I got the 'Chou Gui Hidden' Early Zifu cultivation method? Whether I have it or not, he won't say a word. He will reach out and look at my memory immediately!"

"Once that happens, it won't just be a matter of a cultivation method!"

"Whether he can find anything or not, I will definitely die... Although you are safe and sound in the sky, you will also suffer heavy losses. From now on, you don't have to think about seeing anyone..."

Dang Jiang felt anxious in his heart and replied: "What do you mean? Aren't you the candidate chosen by the Mansion Lord? That Lu Water True Monarch is just a Golden Core; how can he kill you?"

Chi Buzi looked at him with some gloom and replied:

"What chosen or not chosen? When the fate arrives, the Mansion Lord bestows a path. If you can walk it, walk it. If you can't walk it, even if you die, who cares? Does the Mansion Lord lack this one Early Zifu cultivator? Does he need to come back from outside the sky specifically to save me? It's fine to pull the tiger's skin on weekdays, but don't take it seriously yourself."

When Chi Buzi said this, Dang Jiang frowned, and his mood became anxious. He thought: "That's right... who in the sky doesn't have some divine ability..."

Chi Buzi saw that he couldn't say anything, and the hopeful mood faded. He felt slightly disappointed in his heart and replied:

"My cultivation is low, not worth mentioning. If something happens to me, I'm afraid it will ruin the Immortal Mansion's affairs..."

Dang Jiang looked at him and saw Chi Buzi say:

"I'm counting on you to beg for me and find a way out... If I can see that 【Lord Lord Zhengao】 adult from before, I think I can have some certainty."

Dang Jiang hesitated for a while. He also had to rely on Shao Yu to see Lord Lord Zhengao, so he naturally didn't have much certainty. But the matter concerned Chi Buzi's Dao path and life, so he had to ask. He had to stand up and reply: "You also know that adult; it's not like you can see him just because you want to. I only know where Lord Shao Yu's Immortal Pavilion is, so I can ask for you."

Chi Buzi still had doubts.

He was a direct descendant of the Qing Song Sun lineage, and his mind was clever. He knew quite a lot over the years. He pulled Dang Jiang and said: "The Mansion Lord... controls Yin and Yang. He might have an incarnation in the present world. There was an immortal back then, named Immortal Yingze, who also controlled Yin and Yang. I don't know if it's the same one..."

This made Dang Jiang's scalp tingle, and he didn't dare to say anything more. He replied:

"You ask me to ask about the Mansion Lord's human incarnation. I have nowhere to ask, and I have no life to ask. Even the name of that Li Liu Xianguan descending to the world, I can't ask. It can be seen that this matter... is related to profound secrets. Where do I have the ability to ask?"

"It's not asking you to ask..."

Chi Buzi looked at him, feeling a bit of a headache. He actually knew some secrets. There were many people in the world looking for Immortal Yingze. This person didn't show up, so how could there be any good things? He replied: "This Lu Water is called one of the Six Sons of Chongming, and his master is that immortal who controls Yin and Yang... He is a proper Qing Xuan lineage... The immortals above can't be counted on one hand... I'm not afraid of him fighting with the sky, I'm afraid that the news he knows will cause some changes..."

When Chi Buzi said this, Dang Jiang also felt his heart go numb. In his previous life's memory, he was just a small water official underground. How could he have memories of such powerful figures? He said with great fear: "I know..."

"Side-attack... ask carefully..."

When Chi Buzi said this, Dang Jiang raised his head again. Covering his uneasiness, he walked out while scolding: "If it really comes to verbal skills, you guy might not be as flexible as me. Why do you need so many words!"

He went out of the courtyard gate, and only then did Chi Buzi sit down in his seat peacefully. After all, he was in someone else's cave heaven, even if he was alone, he didn't show half an emotion. His eyes closed slightly, and he entered meditation in his seat.

The white snow drifted beside him, slowly piling up in the courtyard. A fragrant scent of osmanthus spread out. It should have been a scene that made people feel calm. He sat quietly, but his heart was not calm.

Chi Buzi's words were not only a cry for help, but also a probe. In this short conversation, he discovered Dang Jiang's meaning and keenly captured the key from it: he, Chi Buzi, was not important to the sky, the Mansion Lord was doing it casually, and Lord Lord Zhengao didn't give Dang Jiang any special orders.

This man was gloomy and naturally indifferent. With just this one piece of information, a deep suspicion arose in his heart: 'This Mansion Lord is nine times out of ten Immortal Yingze. However, he has been missing for so many years, and he must not want the world to know of his existence, plotting something behind the scenes... He doesn't have a good relationship with Lu Water. Since he is an immortal-level figure, the opportunity he gives me cannot expose himself, nor can it let Lu Water have any doubts.'

'Once Lu Water probes my memory, he will definitely find nothing. As for me... if I don't complete all the plans before Lu Water comes back, my life will be lost, and how Lu Water will ponder me will eventually end in silent death... Then what role does Lord Lord Zhengao play? The Golden Seeking Method is so precious, how can I exchange for it in just a few years...'

He smelled something wrong, and a haze immediately covered his heart: 'Could it be that he is using me... making me catch monsters for him to offer over these years? Anyway, it's not enough. When Lu Water comes, I will die. He has already made a fortune... He doesn't need to find any Golden Seeking Method for me...'

Chi Buzi didn't know much about the power behind the Immortal Mansion, but he was just like this. Based on just a few interest relationships, he judged a result in an instant—if his obtaining the opportunity was not part of the immortal's plan to calculate Lu Water, the sky would definitely not destroy the established plan for his sake, and he would likely die in Lu Water's hands.

Dang Jiang came out of the courtyard, walking with his head shrunk. After walking for a long while, he soon found a large pavilion in the mansion, showed the token in his hand, and had the heavenly soldiers go in to ask for instructions.

Soon, the heavenly soldier with colorful scales and upright features came out of the pavilion and said loudly: "The Book-Checking Official of the Xuan Seven Pavilion... the Immortal Fairy invites you in."

Dang Jiang was still worried that the other party wouldn't see him. Now, as if granted amnesty, he hurried forward, passed through the gorgeous corridor, and saw a stack of silver-white jade slips. The woman in tea-white robes was sitting upright at the desk.

Shao Yu's expression was slightly tired, and the faint white brilliance between her brows flickered slightly. Clearly, these days had not been easy for her. Even seeing Dang Jiang didn't feel as noisy as before. She asked: "So it was you who came... has something happened?"

Although Shao Yu was transferred, Dang Jiang was nominally still her subordinate, which was why he could see her. He bowed to the ground and cried:

"Back then... Lord Liu gave me a responsibility to take care of the talent chosen by the Mansion Lord... but recently he encountered a huge trouble, and his life is at stake, so I came to ask the adult!"

When Shao Yu heard this, she frowned. She knew it was Chi Buzi. Naturally, she didn't have the leisure to meddle in other people's business, but she didn't want to take the blame either. She asked:

"What trouble?"

Dang Jiang bowed:

"It's the same matter as before. The Lu Water Fruit Position True Monarch above his head... is about to come back from outside the sky, but his divine ability was broken through with the help of my fate, involving the sky. The True Monarch is likely to look for him, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Shao Yu shook her head and said: "Who dares to look for trouble in the sky? Let him be. That True Monarch won't kill him when he hears it's the sky. It's just that the sky hasn't appeared in the world yet, and I'm afraid it will be exposed suddenly, attracting blame from above."

Shao Yu's words hit Dang Jiang's heart. He didn't think Lu Water was scary, nor was he as cautious as Chi Buzi. What he feared more was delaying the affairs above. He bowed, and Shao Yu replied:

"You wait here, I will go and see the adult."

Dang Jiang was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, waiting in the pavilion. He waited anxiously for more than half an hour, but didn't expect that there would be movement soon. The woman in the tea-white immortal skirt came in from outside the pavilion, lost in thought.

Seeing Shao Yu step into the pavilion, Dang Jiang hurried forward and asked respectfully:

"Adult..."

Shao Yu shook her head slightly and replied: "I went to ask the adult and got a few pieces of news, so I will tell you."

Her expression was solemn, and she said cautiously:

"First, there is no decree from the adult. The Mansion Lord passed him the magic technique just as a reward for him watching you. He has no relationship with the sky, and the sky has not yet reached the time to appear in the world. If he is caught by Lu Water, the immortal's traces will naturally hide away, and there will be no risk of exposing the sky's traces."

Dang Jiang felt bitter in his mouth and realized in his heart. He had savored Chi Buzi's words. He listened to Shao Yu say: "Second, Lord Lord Zhengao adult thought that he was determined to seek immortality, so he left a line of opportunity. If he feels that Lu Water will harm him, he can ask an immortal official from the sky to take a look and see if there is any room for maneuver."

Dang Jiang only felt dark in his heart and said reluctantly: "I don't know which one to ask?"

Shao Yu smiled helplessly and replied:

"Me."

She got up from the pavilion and replied:

"Go... lead him over."

Dang Jiang had to retreat quickly and return to the courtyard. Chi Buzi hadn't moved an inch, sitting by the case. Dang Jiang was full of bitterness and said the two pieces of news in a low voice. Chi Buzi felt relieved and lowered his brows:

"Good, take me to see the adult."

Chi Buzi was not surprised by the news in Dang Jiang's mouth. Chi Buzi also expected that Lord Lord Zhengao would be willing to leave him a line of life. But just this, he felt it was enough. Even in the current dangerous situation, he had a premonition early on.

'The moment I went to the island to see Li Qinghong, I had to be prepared to be crushed to death by Lu Water at any time. Now it's not unexpected, nor is it early.'

Back then, after telling Li Qinghong about betraying Lu Water, Chi Buzi only had one thought: 'If I die, I die, just go and try!'

Now the thought was exactly the same.

He was satisfied and ambitious, lowering his head, drilling through the corridor beside the immortal generals and immortal fairies, walking slowly to Shao Yu's case, kneeling down with a thud, and saying respectfully: "Thank you, adult, for saving my life!"

Shao Yu didn't like him, but the other party was a Great True Person, and he bowed to her with his whole body on the ground, so she collected her mood and said softly:

"Do you have any ideas?"

Chi Buzi raised his head, his light green eyes shining, without half a bit of depression or despair, and said in a low voice: "The subordinate does not want to give up the opportunity to enter the cave heaven and pay homage to the immortals in the sky, nor does he want to give up the Dao path. The current plan is only to deceive Lu Water."

"To deceive Lu Water, only I don't remember it myself. As long as I know I'm lying to him, the True Monarch will know I'm lying to him."

Shao Yu looked at his expression. Even though she never liked this person before her, she couldn't help but be moved at this moment and said:

"Continue."

Chi Buzi said in a low voice:

"The subordinate thinks that if I don't know it myself, I can only remove the memory and store it somewhere. Wait for Lu Water to probe me and then leave, and then make me get this memory back. Only then can I escape. As long as he returns to Lu Language Heaven to heal his wounds, it will be difficult for him to keep staring at me."

Shao Yu frowned slightly, listening to Chi Buzi say in a low voice:

"I need a way to change memories in front of the True Monarch without being discovered."

But she saw the immortal fairy before her shake her head and reply:

"Not only that, no jade slip can record memories about the sky. You can only store this memory by stripping away a part of your soul. But splitting the soul is by no means something you or I can do."

"What's more, the pain of splitting the soul is worse than pulling tendons and peeling skin."

Chi Buzi didn't consider pain at all.

He, Chi Buzi, grew up bit by bit from Qingchi to the present level. He was someone who could grab every opportunity that flashed before his eyes by any means necessary. Even if the opportunity was as small as a crack, he would peel his bones and skin, and drill out from the crack like a weed.

Whether it was Chi Wei, Lord Lord Zhengao, demons, or immortals, whatever the superior needed him to be, he, Chi Buzi, could be. With the Jin Dan in front, there was nothing that couldn't be abandoned, and nothing that couldn't be accepted.

'With my own strength alone, pulling tendons and peeling skin a hundred or a thousand times won't allow me to escape from Lu Water's hands. I will definitely be pinched to death like an ant... But it doesn't need much. As long as there is a trace of power of the same status to help, I will have the qualifications to deceive him.'

But Chi Buzi heard this news and didn't nod. His heart turned cold, and he replied:

"Once the soul is separated, how can Lu Water not see it?"

"He will never ponder how many means I have behind me. He doesn't need to think, and he won't think about counter-measures. As long as it involves me, it must be a breakthrough in the Jin Dan and a shaking of the fruit position, and such a miraculous means of separating the soul. He won't allow anyone to act. He can just look at me and kill me under the pressure of the Underworld."

Shao Yu pondered for a while and said in a low voice: "I can ask for you about the means of separating memories. Perhaps there is some spiritual tool that can do it. But how do you ensure Lu Water leaves? Since he is as cunning as you say, he doesn't show traces when he comes back, and he doesn't show traces when he leaves. How do you calculate when you, who have no memory, will recover your memory? This is almost impossible!"

"Furthermore, if you really wait for him to leave and recover your memory, how do you know when he will suddenly pop out? The Jin Dan falling into the present world is a matter of an instant! As long as he has a thought, as long as he steps half a foot out of Lu Language Heaven, he will know everything you have immediately!"

Seeing Shao Yu shake her head repeatedly, Chi Buzi was not in a hurry and said in a low voice: "This matter looks difficult, but actually, only when offering sacrifices is this memory needed."

"As long as the adult can have a way to let me deceive his eyes, I can naturally make myself catch monsters and come, remember this matter in some hidden place, offer sacrifices to the sky, and then forget this matter and leave."

Shao Yu's expression gradually became solemn, staring firmly at his eyes, a thick doubt appearing in her eyes, and she asked:

"Is there any hidden place that even the True Monarch cannot see?"

Chi Buzi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold and calm scrutiny appeared in his lowered expression: "The subordinate really knows one... a place that even the True Monarch cannot see."
