Chapter 1090 A Companion Immortal Treasure? The Protection of the Spirit Crane?
The words of the monk Jingyan were deliberate and cryptic, each word carrying profound meaning and piercing the heart.
The scene fell into a brief, deathly silence.
"What nonsense!"
The deathly silence was finally broken by Lü Dongshan: "Old Gu is one of my Haoyu people. He began to show his talent and became famous in Haoyu five hundred years ago. After escaping death and experiencing many changes, he has risen again now."
"You say he's some kind of young master of a celestial sect, some kind of reincarnation of a celestial venerable? That celestial venerable is far too weak. He descended to the mortal realm and was still betrayed by a bunch of ungrateful wretches."
"Does anyone believe what you're saying?"
Don't be fooled by Lü Dongshan's seemingly nonsensical arguments; in reality, his arguments are not just empty talk.
On the contrary, every time he raised a question, it was actually a reasonable and well-founded argument.
In contrast, consider Jingyan.
As a high-ranking Buddhist monk in the Western Desert, if his previous two identifications had been true, people would naturally believe him. However, since the first two identifications were problematic, this third identification has made people doubt his words.
"Do you think what the monk said is true or false?"
"I feel something's not true. Gu Xiu is some kind of young master of a cultivation sect. How could he have suffered such a terrible fate and escaped death?"
"There are so many ingrates in the Qingxuan Holy Land. If Gu Xiu were the young master of an immortal sect, he should have joined the Tianyuan Sword Sect and become the Tianyuan Sword Master. How could he have been deceived by those ingrates, lost all his cultivation, and been bullied by such petty people?"
“I remember that Gu Xiu was there when Qingxuan was destroyed. If what this monk Jingyan said is true, that Gu Xiu wanted to kill everyone who had a karmic connection with him, then why weren’t those people from the Qingxuan Holy Land killed by him? Why are they still alive?”
"And then there's Jiang Xun. If Gu Xiu is the reincarnation of a Celestial Venerable, then Jiang Xun is also a celestial being who descended to the mortal realm. They should be in cahoots, so why are they causing trouble for Gu Xiu?"
"Didn't Gu Xiu grow up in the Qingxuan Holy Land? How could he suddenly become an immortal? This monk must be lying to people, right?"
"..."
Similar questions continue to arise.
Although Jingyan's words were indeed intimidating, there were quite a few problems with them. The common sense of "the boy who cried wolf" was being played out in the Tianyuan Sword Sect.
How could the monk Jingyan not understand the principle behind this? At that moment, he immediately used his cultivation to loudly proclaim:
"I am but a humble monk, and my words carry little weight. It is normal that no one believes me. But since I am here, why don't you all take a look at my evidence? Even if I am framing you, don't you want to hear the truth?"
"You damned monk, what you've said..."
“Everyone knows that Gu Xiu was taken in by Guan Huaiyi, the former sect master of Qingxuan Holy Land. But you probably don’t know that on the first day Guan Huaiyi found Gu Xiu, he discovered that Gu Xiu was unusual and even discovered the truth that Gu Xiu was the young master of the immortal sect!” Ignoring Lu Dongshan’s words, Jingyan spoke directly.
Oh?
Everyone was surprised.
"When immortals descend to earth, it is always accompanied by strange phenomena and all sorts of strange events. As you all know, the Qingxuan Holy Land initially prospered because they gained the favor of the Immortal Crane and began to raise the Immortal Crane for the first time in history, obtaining all sorts of rare resources from the feathers, droppings, and even the dead Immortal Crane."
"Aren't you all curious about why the Celestial Crane, a rare and unparalleled spirit beast, was obtained by the Azure Profound Holy Land?"
When Jingyan said this, everyone's eyelids twitched.
indeed.
This is actually a secret of the Qingxuan Holy Land.
The mythical crane, a mythical creature, has existed since ancient times, and people have always tried to raise it.
However, the Celestial Crane is never bound by human control, and countless sects that tried to do so ultimately failed. This is because the Celestial Crane never lingers in one place, so obtaining treasures and resources related to the Celestial Crane used to rely on luck.
However, more than 500 years ago, the Qingxuan Holy Land suddenly acquired the method of raising Immortal Cranes for some unknown reason, and relied on raising Immortal Cranes to obtain a lot of resources, thus starting to prosper. Even after Qingxuan became a holy land, their raising of Immortal Cranes never stopped, because in the entire universe, almost only Qingxuan had this method.
No one has mastered this method yet.
As a result, after Qingxuan was destroyed, the price of resources related to the Immortal Crane skyrocketed, even reaching a point where there was no market for them.
"I remember that after Qingxuan obtained the method of raising the Immortal Crane, our Divine Dynasty sent people to investigate, hoping to obtain the method from Qingxuan. However, we failed in the end and instead reached a long-term deal with Qingxuan."
"That's true. Before Qingxuan was destroyed, our sect had a cooperation with Qingxuan regarding the Immortal Crane. After Qingxuan was destroyed, our sect recruited many disciples who had escaped from Qingxuan, hoping to find out the method of raising the Immortal Crane. Unfortunately, no one knew it. It is said that only the sect leader and Gu Xiu knew it."
"It is said that Gu Xiu once poisoned the Immortal Spirit Crane, which angered the Azure Profound Supreme and resulted in severe punishment. However, it is said that he was framed. Could it be that the method of raising the Immortal Spirit Crane is really related to Gu Xiu's background?"
Everyone started to speak, sharing what they knew about the Immortal Crane and Qingxuan.
Some even guessed what was going on and couldn't help but ask, "You're not saying that raising the immortal cranes is proof that Gu Xiu is an immortal, are you?"
"Nonsense, what does the Immortal Crane have to do with immortals? Just because they both have the word 'immortal' in their names?" Lu Dongshan immediately denied it, but couldn't help glancing at Gu Xiu in black robes, feeling somewhat anxious.
Just a pity.
Not only did Gu Xiu in black not offer any explanation for himself, but he also seemed quite curious and eager to hear what would happen next.
This……
This inner demon is indeed an inner demon. If Old Gu himself were here, he would never be so foolish as to wait like this.
Lu Dongshan grew anxious, but his anxiety was useless; Monk Jingyan had already nodded in reply.
"That's right!"
"The earliest celestial crane can be traced back to ancient times. It is said to be a divine bird of the celestial realm, which loves to be close to the celestial aura. If there is anyone in this world who can attract the favor of the celestial crane, then he must be a person who possesses the celestial aura, and such a person is naturally an immortal."
“You’re talking nonsense. Gu Xiu entered the forbidden area and left Qingxuan for five hundred years. Didn’t Qingxuan still raise the immortal cranes?” Lu Dongshan retorted.
“Don’t be anxious, Benefactor Lü.” Monk Jingyan chuckled: “Immortal cranes have always liked to live in flocks, and their reproduction rate is not slow. As long as one immortal crane is attracted, it will take only a few years to attract a flock of immortal cranes. So as long as you can win the favor of one immortal crane and make it stay willingly, it will take no more than ten years to raise a considerable number of immortal cranes.”
"Then what does this have to do with Gu Xiu?" Lu Dongshan retorted again.
As soon as he said this, Lü Dongshan sensed something was wrong. He realized he seemed to have become the straight man for this bald monk, but it was too late for regrets, because Monk Jingyan had already spoken again:
"That's a good question."
"Because when Guan Huaiyi found Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu was being protected by a fairy crane. Guan Huaiyi brought that fairy crane back to Qingxuan, and that's how Qingxuan started raising fairy cranes."
"As mentioned before, the Immortal Crane will never get close to anyone except those who possess immortal energy, let alone what Guan Yi witnessed with his own eyes back then, seeing the Immortal Crane protect the young Gu Xiu. This is irrefutable evidence!"
“Gentlemen, think this through carefully. The Immortal Crane likes to be close to those who are imbued with immortal energy, but this vast world is nothing but the mortal realm. How can it be imbued with immortal energy? Gu Xiu had immortal energy in his body since childhood. What else could he be but an immortal descended to earth?”
"Moreover, when Guan Yi found Gu Xiu back then, he not only saw the immortal crane protecting Gu Xiu, but also found a personal immortal treasure on Gu Xiu's body and brought it back to Qingxuan."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed instantly.
"Nonsense!" Lu Dongshan rebuked without hesitation: "What personal treasure, the protection of the immortal crane, these are all just your own words. Guan Huiyi has been dead for more than 500 years, there is no way to verify it. Are you just saying whatever you want?"
Everyone was stunned.
Yes!
Although the monk Jingyan spoke eloquently, he was actually only talking about what he saw in the name of Guanyin, and there was no evidence to support his claims.
only……
Monk Jingyan glanced at Gu Xiu, a cruel smile appearing on his face, and then dropped a bombshell that made everyone's expressions change drastically:
"Caring for righteousness".
"not dead."
