One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Eight. Who Is This Person?
"From Jiuyou?" Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng were surprised to hear this.
Although they had noticed something unusual before, they still didn't expect it to be related to Jiuyou.
After a moment of silence, Yan Zhaoge said softly: "I thought it would be related to Tushita Palace."
He said this directly, and Feng Yunsheng beside him couldn't help but look sideways.
Hou Tu Niangniang held the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, but she sent the Zhuxian Ancient Sword back to the place where Guangchengzi's body was, leaving it for Yan Zhaoge and others to find.
At the same time, it was equivalent to involving the attention of the demon clan, the orthodox Buddhist sect, the fairy court, and the White Lotus Pure Land.
But during this period, Yuxu Palace reappeared in the world.
It is hard not to make people think that Hou Tu Niangniang deliberately used the Zhuxian Ancient Sword to divert the attention of others and create an opportunity for herself to find Yuxu Palace.
Then an old question came, how did Hou Tu Niangniang find Yuxu Palace?
There may be more than one answer to this question, including that Hou Tu Niangniang herself disappeared for so many years because she was searching hard, and now she finally got the reward.
It is also possible that she got the news from other places.
But among all the answers, the one with the greatest possibility still points to the one in Tushita Palace.
The whereabouts of Yuxu Palace, Bajing Palace, and Biyou Palace may be hidden from everyone, and even other Taoist ancestors may not necessarily know it, but Taishang Laojun, as the surviving shadow of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, must know where Yuxu Palace is.
So on the way here, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng discussed this issue, and the first thing they suspected was that Hou Tu Niangniang had been in seclusion for many years, and might actually be hiding in Tushita Palace.
"I did come from Tushita Palace." Hearing Yan Zhaoge's words, Hou Tu Niangniang did not take it as an offense, and her tone was still gentle, without any fluctuations.
And her answer also made Yan Zhaoge and the others excited.
However, more doubts followed in their hearts.
Yan Zhaoge stood quietly in the dim world, thinking silently, and thought a lot in his heart in an instant.
Then I heard the Queen Mother Hou Tu continue to say: "However, this ancient sword of Zhuxian does come from Jiuyou."
"Back then, Daoist Fellow Guangcheng fell, and the ancient sword of Zhuxian in his hand eventually fell into the hands of the devil." A long sigh sounded: "Until the two swords of Luxian and Xianxian were born one after another, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon personally visited the Tushita Palace and brought the ancient sword of Zhuxian, wanting to exchange it with Laojun."
"Laojun did not comment and handed the matter over to Daoist Fellow Wuxian to deal with. In the end, Daoist Fellow Wuxian made the decision and agreed to the deal. The ancient sword of Zhuxian then returned to my sect and stayed in the Tushita Palace."
The Queen Mother Hou Tu said slowly: "Until this time, I took it out and put it back to Daoist Fellow Guangcheng."
"Master Xuandu..." Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng nodded slowly, thinking.
Master Xuandu, also known as Miaole Tianzun, the full name is "Dahui Jingci Miaole Tianzun", sitting on a nine-color lotus throne, with ten cranes hanging down, is the top powerful man in the Taoist sect.
In addition, there is also the honorific title "Wuxian Lingguan Emperor", which was conferred by the Heavenly Palace.
Therefore, Hou Tu Niangniang, who is also a giant in the Heavenly Palace, is accustomed to using this honorific title and calling Xuandu Dafashi "Wuxian Daoyou".
However, the descendants of the Three Pure Ones are more accustomed to the honorific title of Xuandu Dafashi. Generally speaking, the world generally regards this powerful man as the closed disciple of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, but because of his excellence, he has always been known as the first disciple of Taiqing.
It is worth mentioning that Jiutian Dangmo Tianzun, that is, Zhenwu Dadi, was originally introduced to Taoism by Xuandu Dafashi.
However, in the Middle Ages, Xuandu Dafashi rarely appeared in the world, so his reputation gradually faded.
When people mention the top powerhouses of Taiqing, they are often accustomed to first thinking of Ziwei Dafashi, who is listed as one of the Four Imperials of Taoism with Hou Tu Niangniang and is the leader of the Four Imperials.
But in comparison, when Ziwei Emperor was learning Taoism, the Three Pure Ones had already transcended and was listening to lectures under Laojun, so his master was a little confused.
"I wonder what kind of deal Jiuyou wants to make? If Hou Tu Niangniang knows, can you tell me?" Yan Zhaoge asked softly.
Hou Tu Niangniang replied: "The matter was handled by Taoist Fellow Wuxian.
I don't know the details, but afterwards, Taoist Fellow Wuxian handed the sword to me."
"I see, no matter what, I have to thank Hou Tu Niangniang for giving us the opportunity to obtain the Zhuxian Ancient Sword."
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly: "Then, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I dare to ask Hou Tu Niangniang, is there any chance to enter Yuxu Palace again? I wonder if there are any treasures in Yuxu Palace now?"
Hou Tu Niangniang used Yan Zhaoge and his group and the Zhuxian Ancient Sword to attract the attention of others and facilitate her to enter Yuxu Palace.
If not, she could just give the sword to Yan Zhaoge and others directly. Why put it back next to the body of Guangcheng Tianzun and fake the scene, as if the Zhuxian Ancient Sword had always been in Guangcheng Tianzun's hands?
Yan Zhaoge did not ask what she had taken from Yuxu Palace.
Compared to what Hou Tu Niangniang had gained, Yan Zhaoge was more concerned about whether he had a chance to enter Yuxu Palace.
"Yuxu Palace was opened for only a moment, and I could not stay for long either, and was soon sent out." Hou Tu Niangniang said gently: "I don't know when I can enter again."
"The palace is empty, with only a solitary lamp burning. Fortunately, what I'm looking for is this lamp. I got it today, and it's worth the trip."
When she said this, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng understood.
Yuxu Liuli Lamp, the spiritual lamp that Yuanshi Tianzun lit when he preached in Yuxu Palace in the past, although it has all kinds of magical powers, but Yuanshi Tianzun has many treasures with him, and this lamp can't show its magical use, it is only used for lighting.
Although he heard that there was nothing in the Yuxu Palace and there might not be a chance to enter again, Yan Zhaoge was not upset or frustrated, nor did he question whether the other party was unwilling to tell the truth.
He smiled and bowed to the empty dark yellow world: "Today, I am grateful to you for telling me so many things. It has broadened my horizons and solved many doubts in my heart."
"There is only one last question that has been lingering in my mind. I wonder if you can tell me?"
Yan Zhaoge said slowly: "I wonder why you want to pretend to be Hou Tu Niangniang?"
The dim world was quiet in an instant.
"If you hadn't left clues intentionally, it would be difficult for Wu Dang Shengmu Niangniang and us to find clues." Yan Zhaoge's voice echoed in the space.
If it weren't for the discovery of the breath left by Hou Tu Huangdi on the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, Yan Zhaoge and others would naturally think that the ancient sword had always been with the remains of Guangcheng Tianzun, and would not have noticed that the Zhuxian Ancient Sword had already been passed on several times.
In that case, Yan Zhaoge would naturally not have been able to find here all the way with clues such as Hou Tu's handwriting.
"But, I have read a lot of Hou Tu Niangniang's handwriting, and I have gained some insights. I can see that you are not the real Hou Tu Huang Di."
"So, may I ask you, who are you?"
