Chapter 1773 The Unpredictable Power of Gods and Ghosts
Looking at the density of pedestrians on the street and then at the facilities and houses in the city, He Lingchuan reasonably inferred that the number of residents should exceed 200,000 - this is a basic skill for a businessman.
It seems that the number of residents in the real world is more than six or seven times that of the fantasy world.
The expressions of the disciples of Huan Zong changed from nervousness at first, to surprise, to bewilderment now. They could not imagine nor understand that there was such a vast world under their feet, or at the bottom of Yaozi Lake, and there were civilians living and working in peace and contentment in the same map.
In response to this situation, He Lingchuan took out a copper coin between his index and middle fingers and shook it in front of Dong Rui: "Just like the front and back of this copper coin."
The disciples of the Illusion Sect originally lived on one side, and the people of the present world lived on the other side. The two sides did not intersect or interfere with each other.
Until the invasion of the Heavenly Palace broke this balance.
"The boundary between the front and back of this copper coin is the copper coin itself." He Lingchuan then asked Dong Rui, "Then where is the boundary between the real world and the illusion world?"
Dong Rui first ruled out an obvious answer: "Since you asked this question, it must not be Yaozi Lake?"
At this time, a disciple could not help but ask Elder Liu: "Uncle Master, does this world also have sects?"
If so, what are they who come out of the fantasy world?
Elder Liu's answer sounded very accurate to He Lingchuan: "This world also has your ancestor!"
Yes, these two worlds that exist in the Upside-Down Sea will both worship Master Qianhuan.
Dong Rui muttered, "So, is the boundary between these two worlds Qianhuan Zhenren?"
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed and he glanced at him quickly.
The speaker is unintentional and the listener is interested.
Maybe it rained a few days ago, so there were many puddles in the fields. When the team passed by a pond, someone inadvertently lowered his head and exclaimed: "Reflection, look at the reflection!"
Everyone also looked at the reflection in the water, but they found that the people were still the same people, their faces had not changed, but their clothes had changed. They were originally wearing wide robes with big sleeves, but in the reflection they looked like light armor and tight clothes.
They looked at each other and saw that their companions were still wearing the robes of the sect. They looked into the water and saw that they were wearing the uniforms of the armored guards.
"No wonder the farmer asked us if we were the guards of Sun City." Wanqi Feng suddenly realized, "So this is how we look in their eyes."
Aunt Zhu suddenly said, "In ancient times, we called the sun 'sun disk' and the moon 'the lamp of wisdom'."
So that’s why there’s that saying, the lamp of wisdom illuminates the sea of illusions?
So the "sun disk" corresponds to the present world? He Lingchuan looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky.
Elder Liu explained: "We suddenly entered the human world, and the Immortal Venerable must arrange a suitable identity for us."
After hearing this, the disciples of Huan Zong remained silent.
It is the same island, the same terrain, the same mountains and forests, but it is no longer their homeland.
Every tree and blade of grass is so familiar, but they came here illegally and even had to forge their identities.
Of course, He Lingchuan and others don’t have this feeling, they are pure outsiders.
In front of us was an open field for drying grains. There were several rows of racks at the edge of the field, which were usually used to place large sieves, bamboo strips and other farm tools, but now there were several large baskets. The baskets were not filled with grains, but a lot of masks.
These masks are made of wood or bamboo, painted in all colors including red, orange, yellow, blue, black and white. The only thing they have in common is that they look hideous and ferocious.
They are either ghost faces or evil beasts, some have horns or fangs, some are smiling or angry, and they look like Nuo opera masks.
Elder Liu walked over, picked up a mask and put it on his face: "Come here and take it. This mask can confuse our tracks and make it difficult for the pursuers to find our whereabouts."
Just from this one action, He Lingchuan basically concluded that he was in contact with Qian Huan, otherwise how would he know that these masks were prepared for everyone?
An interesting thing happened. After the mask was put on, it only existed for a dozen breaths and then disappeared.
As everyone saw, Elder Liu still had that kind old face.
However, Elder Liu summoned out a water mirror and stood in front of it.
The person reflected in the mirror was not a human at all, but an evil ghost with a green face and fangs, wearing armor.
Wanqi Feng looked at it and realized something: "In the eyes of the people in this world, we have already disguised ourselves. Now that we are wearing masks, we are also disguised in the eyes of the pursuers."
Elder Liu nodded: "That's the truth."
Dong Rui has always been curious about knowledge: "Why ghost masks? Wouldn't it be more awkward if we dressed up as so many evil ghosts and ran on the road?"
Elder Liu kept it a secret: "You will understand soon."
So, He Lingchuan and others and the disciples of Huanzong went to choose masks and put them on. Even Guiyuan and Lingguang chose two masks and put them on.
Similarly, the mask disappears once it is put on, and everyone sees their true face when they look at each other, but in the mirror they appear as a ghost.
This shows that their outward appearance has actually changed.
Elder Liu said, "From now on, in the eyes of outsiders who are not welcome in this world, we are all evil ghosts. Let's go."
The crowd continued walking north along the mountain road.
He Lingchuan has another concern: "Where are the elders who entered Yaozi Lake and were trapped in the present world?"
They are also the four strongest fighters under Qianhuan Sect, and they are especially valuable now.
Elder Liu only said, "They couldn't go back after crossing the lake. They have been living in Sun City. They will soon join us."
They are all still alive. For the current Huanzong, they are four powerful new forces! "So, where are the messengers Lingshan sent before?"
"I'm not sure about that." Elder Liu gave a "but", "They didn't have the right identities when they came in, I'm afraid..."
I see. I'm afraid we'll encounter unknown risks here.
Dong Rui coughed lightly: "Since we have come to the present world, can we leave the Upside-Down Sea?"
Originally they were trapped in an illusion and couldn't get out; now Qian Huan has woken up and everyone has returned to the real world. Logically, the road to the outside world should be unobstructed.
"Of course." Elder Liu nodded and whispered to He Lingchuan, "But Miao Zhantian will soon come across the lake. It's too dangerous to go out to sea now. If you're not careful, you'll capsize. It's better to stay on the shore to avoid disaster."
What he meant was that if everyone took shelter under Qianhuan’s wings, their chances of survival would be greater.
"Once this matter is over, you can leave naturally."
Previously in the Fantasy World, the Fantasy Sect elders used the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror to fight with the Heavenly Palace, and in the blink of an eye, they overturned two or three ships. Thinking about it this way, it seems that the sea is even more dangerous.
Dong Rui and the others looked at He Lingchuan, who only stretched out his index and middle fingers and gently shook them twice in front of his chest. This meant:
Wait and see.
Dong Rui's question was just a slight test. But He Lingchuan knew with his knees that Master Qianhuan would never let him go so easily.
At this time, Dong Rui made a few gestures to He Lingchuan and asked him why Master Qianhuan wanted to bring the Heavenly Palace army into Yaozi Lake.
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "You should have asked this question a long time ago."
Aunt Zhu's voice transmission rang in the ears of the two people: "Is there any need to ask this? There is only one reason: Qian Huan believes that He has a greater advantage in fighting here!"
If it were it, it would also choose a location that is most advantageous to itself before starting a fight.
Aunt Zhu asked He Lingchuan again: "Do you think the immortals of the Illusion Sect know in advance that there is another real Silver Pearl Island at the bottom of Yaozi Lake?"
"Xiao Wencheng may know something, but the other immortals..." He Lingchuan shook his head, "The most terrifying thing is that the mortals and immortals there don't know when they went to the fantasy world or when they stayed in the fantasy world."
This alone shows that Qian Huan has unpredictable powers.
Above the immortals, there is indeed another level of power.
But then again, if the great immortal who has been with Qian Huan for more than two thousand years is still ignorant of this, does it mean that Qian Huan may not have mastered or displayed this power before?
Both Xiao Wencheng and Elder Liu revealed the same idea in their conversations with He Lingchuan: Although True Man Qianhuan had been in seclusion for more than 150 years, as the old saying goes, there is no sun or moon in the mountains, and the time in the cave is mostly unchanged. The real changes in the upside-down sea actually started sixty years ago.
What happened sixty years ago? As far as He Lingchuan knew, Qian Huan Zhenren sent his avatar to retrieve the Dayan Dzi Bead from Yao Country, and he began to close his eyes for a long time from then on until today.
Is it possible for Master Qianhuan to come up with so many tricks in the Upside-Down Sea, is it related to the Dayan Dzi Bead he refined?
"If even Sect Leader Xiao and Elder Liu can't figure out the inside story—" He Lingchuan pondered, "It seems that Miao Zhantian's assessment of the current strength of this old rival may be biased."
Miao Zhantian should know nothing about Qian Huan's progress after obtaining the Dayan Dzi Pearl.
For a competition at this energy level, such information bias is extremely terrifying.
"Perhaps, this is also a major reliance of Master Qianhuan's careful planning."
At this time, a disciple asked Elder Liu: "Master, where are we going now?"
Elder Liu said solemnly: "Go find the Immortal Venerable."
At the same time, stay away from Yaozi Lake.
……
The Tiangong army also crossed Yaozi Lake.
When a person is in the lake, he is most vulnerable to attack because he has no strength to move up, down, left, or right. Therefore, Bai Ziqi first sent the bird demons and masters to patrol the coast and escort the large army.
However, it turned out that his worries were a bit unnecessary. The whole process of the Tiangong army crossing the lake was very smooth and they were hardly hit by any snipers.
There was no one in the sky or on the shore. Everything was quiet except the wind blowing the trees.
Despite the bright sunshine, the lakeside was still damp and white mist was floating in the forest, adding a touch of liveliness to the lake view.
But no one had the heart to appreciate the scenery. The thicker the fog, the worse the vision.
The grey parrot also emerged from the water, stood on Bai Ziqi's shoulder and shook off the water droplets on its feathers: "A defeated enemy cannot be called a brave man."
Before entering the lake, the Huan Zong's escape was a bit undignified. They easily captured more than a hundred people and killed them all.
