The other person's voice grew softer and softer until it faded into silence.

Chen Shuyu said urgently, "What did you say? Make it clear!"

Black Night Owl shook his head and said, "He's already gone. Or rather, he was never here at all. This is just a sound-transmitting puppet he left behind, like a messenger."

Chen Shuyu said anxiously, "I'll go find Hall Master and the others!"

Old Liu gently raised his hand, "No need, this matter must be faced by the Master himself."

Old Liu slowly said, "Samsung has one characteristic, that is, when they encounter a Master who can subdue them, they are peerless generals. If they don't encounter a Master, they are heroes in troubled times."

"The legendary Three Stars of the late Ming Dynasty are the best example."

Legend has it that the Three Stars appeared in the late Ming Dynasty at the same time: Po Jun (Li Zicheng), Qi Sha (Zhang Xianzhong), and Tan Lang (Wu Sangui).

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong never submitted to anyone in their lives, and both ended up defeated and killed.

Wu Sangui was used by Huang Taiji and conquered half of the country for the Manchus.

When Huang Taiji was alive, Wu Sangui could indeed be called a famous general under his command. After Huang Taiji passed away, Wu Sangui began to stir, until he met his nemesis, Emperor Kangxi.

In a sense, Wu Sangui does fit the character of Tan Lang.

Old Liu said, "The Yi Tian Chess Master set up this game to make the Master submit. Once we have no other choice, the Master will have to ask the Yi Tian Chess Master for help in order to protect Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall)."

"At that time, the Master will have no choice but to obey the other party and assist the emperor."

Chen Shuyu said, "Is the Yi Tian Chess Master so sure that Hall Master is Tan Lang?"

"He's not sure either!" Old Liu said, "Didn't you hear the last sentence of the Yi Tian Chess Master?"

"If the Master suppresses the secret of the Tiewa Temple and colludes with the people in the art, he doesn't have to ask the Yi Tian Chess Master for help. But that also represents the Master's compromise with the art."

"Once a person compromises once, they will compromise again and again. In the end, they will lower their bottom line again and again, completely losing themselves. Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall) will inevitably disappear into the martial world."

"Tan Lang is afraid of death, but also has the pride of a wolf king, and will not compromise with everyone. This is true of all generations of Tan Lang."

Old Liu paused and said, "If the Master learns the truth about the Tiewa Temple and, in his outrage, makes the truth public, then he will definitely be besieged by the art, and at that time, he will have no choice but to ask the Yi Tian Chess Master for help."

"But, is such a Master still Tan Lang? Tan Lang has never been an upright person, and even less likes to uphold justice for the world."

Chen Shuyu said, "Master, excuse me for speaking frankly, but your guess seems a bit illogical."

"Since the Yi Tian Chess Master wants people to enter the Tiewa Temple, why set traps outside the Tiewa Temple to cause inner demons? This doesn't make sense."

Old Liu shook his head and said, "Are you sure that the only thing following the Master is inner demons? The Yi Tian Chess Master should also be by the Master's side."

Chen Shuyu panicked: "Are you saying that Li Po's inner demon is disguised as the Yi Tian Chess Master?"

"No!" Old Liu said, "An inner demon is an inner demon, no one can fake it. The Yi Tian Chess Master wants to determine whether the Master is Tan Lang!"

Old Liu slowly said, "Po Jun and Qi Sha have already established their divine positions, and there can be no more changes. Only Tan Lang has not yet appeared."

"Actually, the Yi Tian Chess Master only said half of what he was looking for when he said he was looking for an emperor. He wants to bring Tan Lang under the emperor's command when he finds the emperor."

"The Yi Tian Chess Master is using the method of raising gu to select the real Tan Lang. However, raising gu is not just throwing gu worms together at will, but requires selecting suitable gu worms."

"The Yi Tian Chess Master set up a Heart Demon Bureau here, not necessarily to wait for the Master on purpose, but to test everyone who comes to the Taiqu Mountain area who may be Tan Lang."

"He is by the Master's side, not only to interfere with the Master, but also to observe the Master up close."

"The Yi Tian Chess Master is playing a clever trick. He can completely bias everyone's thinking, including the Master's, by mixing himself among the inner demons."

"If the Yi Tian Chess Master operates properly, he can even leave a shadow on the Master, making the Master dare not be his enemy."

Old Liu suddenly woke up and said, "Damn, I forgot to notify Wang Butcher and the others to meet the Master."

Old Liu initially didn't let Wang Butcher and the others meet me because he was afraid of aggravating my inner demons. Because Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall) is my weakness.

Now, the situation has changed, and letting Wang Butcher and the others out will be more helpful to me.

Chen Shuyu said, "I have already sent a message to Wang Butcher and the others to respond at any time."

"That's good, you help me protect the Dharma first." Old Liu jumped out of the pit, found a clean tent in the camp and sat in it.

Chen Shuyu knew that Old Liu was deducing all possible outcomes, so she guarded outside the tent.

At that time, I didn't know that I had fallen into the calculations of a top strategist.

I was still slowly walking into the center of the lake. The further I went, the more corpses and weapons I saw. Near the center of the Immortal Bridge, there were piles of corpses, and discarded crescent shovels piled up like mountains.

From these corpses and weapons alone, it can be seen how tragic the battle between the art and the Tiewa Temple on the lake was back then.

The art did not leave any prisoners. Those monks who gave up resistance were taken to the Immortal Bridge and all beheaded. Otherwise, their weapons and bones would not have been piled up in one place.

Just as I moved my feet forward a few times, the vibration of the water waves came from a distance. The human-faced python is coming!
