Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 46: Ascending Wen Si, the Dragon Soars into the Sea, Leaving the Cage

Unfortunately, he had made the wrong decision.

Although Chen Kuang didn't know if this Pure Land had a mountain called Yuanjue, he knew that Wei Yan was lying with his words.

And just by thinking about the result for a moment, he could tell that Wei Yan was definitely using the place name to test whether Chen Kuang was a disciple of the Pure Land.

Chen Kuang turned his head with some confusion. "Elder, are you mistaken? There is no Yuanjue Mountain in this Pure Land."

Wei Yan immediately covered it up and laughed, "It's possible, after all, I haven't been to the Pure Land, so it's inevitable to make mistakes. I hope you can forgive me."

Hmm? This sentence is also a lie.

This elder has been to the Pure Land... but it seems like he doesn't want to mention it.

To prevent this guy from continuing to ask questions, Chen Kuang decided to take the initiative and shut his mouth in advance.

Narrowing his eyes, Chen Kuang said meaningfully, "Really? I feel like the elder is quite familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere, maybe in the Pure Land?"

Wei Yan's expression froze for a moment, but then he put on a fake smile. "That would be my honor, but it should only be your misconception. I have indeed never been to the Pure Land."

In fact, he had definitely been there.

When he was young and full of energy, he thought those bald donkeys in the Pure Land were nothing more than chanting and advising people to put down their butcher knives. There was nothing special about them.

Coincidentally, at that time, he had squeezed into the Canglang Ranking, and the bald donkey in front of him happened to be one.

So he challenged him on the Pure Land, and the other party immediately agreed, only to be beaten by him... well, it was fake, until he beat the other party to death, he realized that he was already in the Illusory Realm of the Golden Bowl.

His evil nature was exposed in front of the Buddhas.

Fortunately, this matter was not publicized by the other party, but Wei Yan regarded it as a lifelong shame.

Since then, he had been cautious and became a smiling tiger in the eyes of others. He also began to keep silent about the Pure Land.

If you talk about hatred? He didn't even dare to have thoughts of hatred.

The other party had already exposed his most embarrassing side, so he could only stay far away like a rat in a sewer. Otherwise, others would know that he had long lost his Dao heart and his cultivation could no longer progress...

Chen Kuang didn't care whether Wei Yan had been to the Pure Land or not, but since the other party took the initiative to give him a handle, he naturally had to take advantage of it.

After this incident, Wei Yan indeed stopped probing anything.

In no time, the three of them arrived at the bank of the Wen Si River.

In the dark night, the Wen Si River seemed boundless, with gray water surging and layers of waves crashing against the shore. Thick mist floated above the river, chilling the skin and making people shiver.

Vaguely visible in the mist was a small fishing boat, with a small light like a star, swaying with the waves.

It seemed as if there was a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat on the boat, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed like there was none.

Wen Si River, Wen Si Boat.

That fishing boat was the Great Monster in this river.

Chen Kuang often went out of the city to make purchases in his early years, and the most common warning he heard was to stay away from the Wen Si River and not listen to the sound of Wen Si.

Because although this Great Monster didn't cause trouble, it often inexplicably dragged people into the river or lured them onto the boat to ask strange questions.

If you answered incorrectly, you would be buried in the boundless waves, or worse, be taken onto the Wen Si Boat.

Especially since he was blind, his hearing was particularly sharp.

Others often warned him that when passing by this river, if he heard someone calling his name, he must never respond.

If he accidentally touched the water, he would definitely be taken onto the Wen Si Boat.

However, Chen Kuang had also met a merchant who claimed to be a lucky survivor from the Wen Si Boat. He used this as a topic of conversation every day to attract customers.

This merchant had said that there was indeed a voice on the Wen Si Boat that would ask him questions.

But the questions asked were mostly true or false.

That is, it would say a sentence, and you had to judge whether it was right or wrong.

Coincidentally, this merchant had traveled far and wide since he was young and knew the right and wrong of the things asked at that time. After answering three questions, he luckily survived.

The reason why Chen Kuang wanted to use this as a breakthrough point was because...

As long as the other party said the question out loud, it meant that the sentence spoken by himself could be used to judge whether the other party was lying.

Because if the other party knew right from wrong in his heart, it meant that whether he was lying or not was certain.

With Chen Kuang's "I Am Intuition" passive ability, he could easily judge the truth or falsehood and right or wrong of the words spoken by the other party.

It was simply a question with the answer already given.

Wei Yan put him down and asked, "Wen Si River has arrived, where is your senior brother?"

Wen Si River stretches across, passing through two counties, and merges into Dongting Lake as a tributary.

One of the counties is Ji Shao County.

And the tributary of Wen Si River also connects to Ye Du Pass.

"Hoo..."

Chen Kuang looked at the vast rolling river and took a deep breath, slowly exhaling.

He felt the cold and misty wind, which penetrated every part of his body... His spiritual energy began to surge, activating every inch of his flesh and acupoints. This body had never felt so light.

He turned his head and looked at the still burning imperial city. In the darkness, it was like a burnt-out firewood, slowly extinguishing.

The despotic ruler of the old era has been beheaded.

The women are still fleeing, and the future is still uncertain.

After leaving... let's go see the family he hasn't seen in ten years.

It's not far.

He thought.

Ji Shao County, he still remembered. The terrifying drought that impoverished his family to the point where they had to blind his eyes and sell him as an apprentice to passing musicians.

In the ten years that followed, he went out of the palace many times and could have passed by Ji Shao County countless times, but he always declined.

This is a knot in his heart.

Not his own, but another Chen Kuang's.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Zhao Lie lost patience and took two steps forward, asking, "When will your senior brother finally arrive?"

"Ah, Elder Zhao and Elder Wei, please don't be impatient."

Chen Kuang sighed and looked into the distance, smiling. "Look."

"Here comes my 'senior brother' to pick me up, isn't he?"

After Chen Kuang finished speaking, both of them instinctively looked towards the river.

However, there was nothing on the surface of the river, only a flickering lamp amidst the waves.

"Plunk."

Wei Yan turned back in astonishment, only to see Chen Kuang like an arrow leaving the bow, like a dragon entering the sea, suddenly diving into the river.

Disappearing into the waves.

"You!!!"

Zhao Lie and Wei Yan reacted at the same time, and both attacked with a sword and a knife, their killing intent rampant.

"Boom!"

The entire river was split open, and the waves on both sides were astonishing.

"Splash!"

The rolling waves exploded and soared into the sky.

Half of Chen Kuang's figure was in the water, torn apart by the furious sword and knife shadows.

But the next second, he returned to his original state.

The intense pain only lasted for a moment.

He deceived two Embracing Moon Realm elders in one breath.

This was truly satisfying, so he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... cough, cough, cough."

Chen Kuang shook his head, reached back, and unexpectedly touched a plank. In front of his eyes, dripping with water, was a brightly lit lamp.

"Ptui! Ptui!"

Chen Kuang spat out two mouthfuls of water that had choked him, and when he focused his gaze, he saw a straw-hatted fisherman standing beside the lamp.

Under the straw hat were fish scales.

"I have three questions I want to ask you."

A sticky voice sounded, and under the bamboo hat, a giant fish eye, now turning white, appeared.
