Chapter 2819 Yan State Taishi
Just when Yang Feng was a little confused, the fat man continued, "What I asked you to kill is actually a demon. The real Song Bai was taken advantage of by the demon when he passed the tribulation. In order not to attract others' attention, this demon actually had the early realm of the True Immortal, but he has been suppressed in the Mahayana realm..."
Yang Feng interrupted the other party and asked, "I don't understand one thing. If there is really a demon, he will definitely act secretly and will not reveal any news. How did you know so clearly?"
"this……"
The fat man opened his mouth, but he couldn't say it.
Yang Feng said lightly: "What you said is really incredible. If I don't explain the reason further, it will be hard for me to believe it."
Hearing this, the fat man lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
Yang Feng didn't say anything, just waited quietly.
After pondering for a long time, the fat man suddenly raised his head slowly, as if he had made some important decision, and his eyes became firm.
He wiped his face with his hands, and a blue light flashed, and he took out a rabbit mask.
After taking off the mask, the fat man's body lit up at the same time. After a twist, his body quickly contracted and his figure became slender.
A moment later, the fat man before disappeared, replaced by a girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old.
This girl is often very beautiful, wearing a pink skirt.
However, there were some scars on the girl's face, but there was a hint of sadness.
Yang Feng looked at the change of the person in front of him, without any expression on his face, but suddenly realized it in his heart.
The aura emitted from the girl's body at this time was only in the late stage of the God Transformation.
No wonder he just released a little breath before, which made him react so much.
But with such cultivation, how did you join the Impermanence Sect?
After Yang Feng observed carefully for a while, he found that there seemed to be something unusual on the girl's body, but he didn't see what was unusual for a while.
The girl said, "In the impermanence, members are not allowed to inquire about each other's identity. You know, I am now in my true face, and I believe you should be able to see my sincerity."
For the cultivator who was standing in front of him in a real immortal realm, there was no nervous expression on the girl's face.
Yang Feng asked lightly: "You might as well explain my previous doubts first?"
The girl took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to tell you that my name is Song Yu, and I'm Song Bai's granddaughter, back then..."
In the girl's narration, Yang Feng roughly figured out the whole story.
It turned out that the girl's parents were unfortunately killed when they were traveling in their early years. He was smart since childhood and had a good talent. This made his grandfather Song Bai liked him very much, so he stayed by his side and always loved him very much.
Later, Song Bai went into seclusion and rushed to the realm of the true immortal. When he was overcoming the tribulation, he was tragically taken over by the demons. No one could see that he was the first to discover it.
However, after he told the people of his clan about this, no one believed it, and even his relatives did not believe it.
At first, this demon dared not be arrogant. After he completely integrated Song Bai's memory, he gradually controlled the entire Song family, and with the identity of the Grand Tutor, he began to reach out to the court of Yan State.
Since then, strange incidents have occurred frequently in Yan. From time to time, people from one city and another suddenly disappeared. As the Song family, as the cultivator of this country, naturally sent people to investigate, but found nothing.
"Later, as the demons acted more and more strangely, some people in the family finally discovered the abnormality and began to investigate the matter, but the demons took the initiative to attack them first and eliminated them one by one. The demons took a fancy to my talent and wanted to cultivate me into a cultivation cauldron, so they kept imprisoning me in the forbidden area of the clan. My uncle was killed by the demons when he rescued me..."
When Song Yu said this, he couldn't help but stop, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
"Fellow Taoist please mourn me."
Seeing this, Yang Feng's expression did not change and he comforted him.
"When I fled, my uncle stole the mask and ancestor tokens passed down from my ancestors and handed them over to me, and told me to join the dragon gate to practice with the tokens, and to come back to avenge the family when I have the ability. But I am just a mere Yuanhua Divine Stage. Even if I practice sleeplessly, I don't know when I can compete with the devil..."
After a while, I heard the girl continue to say.
"So you posted this task in the Impermanence Sect and came to find someone to help you kill him?"
Yang Feng nodded and asked.
He deeply agreed with this woman's statement.
Not to mention the true fairyland, Yang Feng knew the difficulties in the advancement from the God Transformation Stage to the Void Refining Stage, let alone the heavenly tribulation after the Mahayana.
"That's right! I accidentally learned the existence of the Impermanence Gate from that mask, so I issued that mission. Over the years, the demons' search for me has never stopped, and I was able to escape repeatedly with this mask. But if I can't find anyone to kill this demon, I am afraid I will be unable to hide."
Song Yu had recovered from his calmness at this time and continued.
"So that's it. This can explain it. Why can you join the Impermanence Sect with your cultivation? By the way, do you say that this mask and token were passed down from ancestors?"
When Yang Feng heard Song Yu's statement, he nodded slowly and asked again.
"The original owner of this mask was an ancestor of our Song family, the immortal who served as the elder of the inner sect in the Longmen. The fact that our Song family can become a family of immortal cultivation that secretly manages the Yan Kingdom was actually because of the fact that this ancestor was there. As for the token, it was naturally his." Song Yu explained.
"Since that's the case, why don't you go directly to the Dragon Gate to find this immortal ancestor and ask him to kill this demon?"
Yang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"According to my grandfather, this ancestor suddenly disappeared thousands of years ago, and there was no news. Several elders in the clan went out to search for it, but they also disappeared together... Since then, the power of my Song family has gradually disappeared from the same time... It is precisely because of this that my grandfather was eager to overcome the tribulation and become a true immortal, and finally the demon took advantage of the situation."
Song Yu sighed heavily and said.
"I cannot verify what you said for the time being. After I have seen Song Bai with my own eyes and confirmed that he was taken over by the demon, I will decide whether to take action."
After hearing this, Yang Feng said so after thinking about it.
He actually didn't believe everything about what the girl in front of him said.
In Yang Feng's opinion, it is not easy for her to hide under the eyelids of a true immortal in the late stage of the God Transformation Cultivator for so many years, so she naturally has more precautions in her heart.
"This...well. The beginning of next month is the ten-year ceremony of worshiping the sky in Yan State. At that time, the emperor will take civil and military officials to the Taishan Fengshan sacrifice to the heavens in the territory. Song Bai, as the leader of all officials, will naturally have to accompany him. If he takes action at that time, he will stay away from ordinary cities and minimize the impact."
Song Yu hesitated for a moment and spoke.
“Okay.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng nodded, which was considered to have settled the matter.
"By the way, I don't know what friends call me?"
Song Yu's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Yang Feng."
...
Taishan, located in the eastern part of Yan State, has always been known for its majestic mountains and beautiful scenery. Among them, Taishan is the highest mountain in the entire country. It has always been regarded as a "sacred mountain". It has a very high status in the minds of the people of Yan State. According to legend, a true immortal who attained Taoism once ascended here in the daytime.
The literati and scholars of Yan State have always been proud of being able to climb Mount Tai and chant poems for him. To this day, there are still cliff carvings left by some poems from ancient times to the present. Every year, many people come to see the true face.
However, just one month ago, the entire mountain was surrounded by a large number of soldiers wearing armor and completely banned. No princes and nobles or the people in the city were allowed to climb the mountain.
The Yan State had no objection to this, because they all knew that the emperor was coming to worship the heaven and pray for blessings.
Although Taishan was banned, a few days before the festival was held, Taishan County at the foot of the mountain was already crowded with people coming from nearby counties.
On the day of the official festival, before dawn, the sides of the official road leading to Taishan in the county town were squeezed into pieces by the people who came to pay homage to the emperor's holy face.
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the emperor and civil and military officials drove straight out of the palace in the county city and headed straight for Mount Tai without stopping under the escort of the Imperial Guard.
On the top of Taishan Mountain, a few incense burners had been set up on an open circular altar, and a brocade red carpet was laid on the ground. There were many officials wearing official uniforms of the Ministry of Rites, each with pious faces and waiting with their hands.
Among these people, there was a middle-aged official with an ordinary face, with his hands hanging in front of him, his eyes constantly turning, and he looked at the surrounding environment.
This person is not someone else, but Yang Feng who has changed his appearance and lurks in, while Song Yu uses another method of hiding to hide outside the altar.
After observing for a while, Yang Feng found that in addition to the soldiers patrolling the outside world, there were more than a dozen Yuanying and Foundation-building cultivators hiding among the soldiers patrolling the outside world, the Minister of Rites next to him was actually an immortal cultivator in the realm of Transformation of Gods.
Yang Feng knew in his heart that most of these people were secretly arranged by the Song family.
After waiting for an hour or two, the emperor's carriage finally arrived.
However, this seemingly old emperor walked off the carriage with the support of the eunuch. He did not rush to the altar, but stopped beside the carriage, as if waiting for something.
After a while, the carriages behind them followed one after another.
Then, a carriage behind the emperor's carriage was stopped two times.
