Chapter 674: A Breakthrough
It's just that even if Chu Xian is already a phantom god painting skill, and he also participated in the restoration of the Hundred Immortal Diagram, he still can't see the clue and can't find the problem.
This is obviously impossible.
The painting was painted by a real person with a wonderful brush in the same period as the Holy Ancestor, and the real person with a wonderful brush has already died out, so it is obviously impossible for a real person with a wonderful brush.
At this time, Chu Xian looked at the surrounding scene in the painting again, and suddenly had a realization.
He found that he had complicated the matter.
Li Qianlong They came prepared that night, how did they know that the Hundred Immortal Diagram was going to be repaired?
Is it because of the fairy light in the picture?
This is what Chu Xian and Shoufu Ge thought before, but if not.
Investing in Li Qianlong, they already knew that the Baixian Diagram would be repaired that night?
If you look at it this way, the problem is simple, when it will be fixed, only Chu Xian and the four painting saints know, and it is impossible for others to know.
In other words, Li Qianlong was so accurately prepared on which party it would be, which can only mean one thing, one of the five people leaked the news.
That's the problem.
First of all, Chu Xian can exclude himself, then there are only four painting saints left, after so many days, no one among them has mentioned this matter, this is a manifestation of being a thief, and if you reason according to this condition, then someone who informs Li Qianlong must be someone from Li Qianlong's side, or even, Li Qianlong's cronies, then, maybe this person will put the Holy Ancestor's edict that has been prepared a long time ago into the Hundred Immortals Diagram, and borrowing the Hundred Immortals Diagram to repair it will attract everyone's attention and announce the Holy Ancestor's edict to the world.
But Chu Xian thought about it carefully and felt that it was impossible.
Because Chu Xian was involved in the whole process, who could do such a thing under the noses of the other four people? This is also the reason why Chu Xian ruled out the possibility of mole at the beginning.
Chu Xian participated in the restoration of the Hundred Immortals, so he knows the four painting saints best, you must know that before, Shoufu Pavilion also suspected that one of the four painting saints was Li Qianlong's person, but Chu Xian denied it.
Because in Chu Xian's understanding, these four painting saints have noble qualities, and it is impossible for any of them to be with Li Qianlong, but sometimes, knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, this time the matter cannot be solved by common sense.
The current situation is that all the impossibilities have been eliminated, and the rest, even if it is considered impossible, may be the only answer.
Chu Xian is currently in this situation.
At this time, Chu Xian didn't consider the character and morality of the four painting saints, and reasoned from the assumption that one of them was Li Qianlong's traitor, to see who was most likely to do tricks on the Hundred Immortals Diagram that was about to be restored.
As a result, Chu Xian found that no one had such an opportunity.
Because when the Hundred Immortal Diagram was restored, none of the five of them had the opportunity to be present alone, most of the time, there were five people, even if it was a very few, there were at least two of them.
So how is it possible to deceive another person and do things under the nose of another person?
This is unlikely.
You must know that the four painting saints are also cultivated, although the combat power is not high, but the perception is definitely not bad, whoever does the tricks and feet, it is impossible to do it behind the back of others, and more or less will show clues.
The reasoning is here, and it has reached an impasse again, although Chu Xian has this conjecture, but the actual situation seems to be unable to corroborate, if there is no evidence of inference, it is actually all nonsense, and nonsense is obviously useless.
But if it weren't one of the four painting saints, who would it be? If this path doesn't work, then the reasoning of this clue is not valid.
Chu Xian walked in the painting, unconsciously into the mind, and walked to the place where the Holy Ancestor of Taizong was located in the painting, the scenery here is excellent, but it is the scene of the Holy Ancestor leading the immortals to meet the enemy, because in the painting, this scene is like being immersive, in addition, the power of the immortals and many gods and the great sage of the demon clan is also undoubtedly revealed in the painting, but Chu Xian has repaired the painting before, and he has already come in countless times, and he is already accustomed to it.
But the first time he came in, Chu Xian was indeed shocked.
If you use ordinary painting skills, not to mention so many immortals and gods and Buddhas, no matter how powerful you are, you can draw them casually, but if you use phantom painting skills, it will be different, painting tigers and wolves can scare lambs to death, draw ghosts, and even scare people to death, not to mention painting immortals.
Every character here is perfectly depicted, as if they were alive.
At this time, Chu Xian suddenly realized something.
Miaobi Zhenren is the earliest saint of painting, and from his works, you can see his character, that is, the pursuit of perfection, not to tolerate the slightest flaw.
This picture of a hundred immortals, although every character is very well drawn, but strictly speaking, the central character in it is still the Holy Ancestor of Taizong.
If it is said that this Hundred Immortals Diagram was specially painted to hide the Holy Ancestor's edict, this possibility is extremely small, in other words, the wonderful brush real person will not allow his painting to do this kind of thing, so it is certain that the Holy Ancestor's edict was brought in later.
In this way, the spearhead was once again pointed at the four painting saints.
Chu Xian's sudden whim at this time came up with a guess that he couldn't even believe.
Previously, he thought that it was not one of the four painting saints, because no one was alone with the hundred immortals when the painting was being restored, and at any time, two or three people were present.
Therefore, Chu Xian felt that it was impossible for anyone to manipulate the painting in the presence of others.
It was not wrong to think so, but Chu Xian found that if someone put the Holy Ancestor's edict into it after it was determined that the painting was restored, with this premise, and then reversed, there would be an amazing result.
If the impossible is ruled out, then what remains is the possibility.
Chu Xian is the impossible, in this way, the four painting saints have all become suspects, and it is not one of them, it is all of them.
Thinking of this, Chu Xian gasped.
He was stunned by his idea, but if he assumed that the four painting saints had problems, and they were in a group, then it would be too easy for these four to deceive themselves.
Thinking about it carefully, the four painting saints actually have some suspicious places, such as going out separately for a period of time, in addition, these four have been guarding the Treasure Pavilion in the imperial city for a long time, so they have more time to contact the royal family, and Li Qianlong has too many similar doubts, I didn't think it before, but now there are problems no matter how you look at it.
With this guess, Chu Xian actually opened his mouth, as if a candle flame was suddenly lit in a dark room, and what was originally hidden in the darkness gradually revealed his figure, and there was nothing to hide.
Chu Xian has now deduced the truth of how the other party presented the Holy Ancestor's edict to the world through this assumption, of course, this inference still needs to be verified, but it is already the most likely one in theory.
That is to say, the four painting saints are all Li Qianlong's people.
When the Yang officials first planned to borrow the Hundred Immortal Diagram to drag themselves down, there might be the shadow of Li Qianlong and others behind.
"It's broken!"
When Chu Xian thought of this, he found something.
Who was the first to propose to use the restoration of the Hundred Immortal Diagram to hold himself back? Chu Xian didn't know, but he was sure that the other party must be an official of the Yang family, and he must be a trusted cronie of Yang Zhenqing.
If this matter was a bureau and a conspiracy from the beginning, then it would be possible that the Yang cronies who put forward this idea could also be deliberate.
This assumption is very scary.
This shows that there are Li Qianlong people around Yang Zhenqing, so in other words, what about Xiao Yu's side, will there also be Li Qianlong people.
Li Qianlong has a very deep plan, in terms of wisdom alone, in the Shoufu Pavilion, I am afraid that there are very few people who can compare with him, this is not an exaggeration of Chu Xian, this is a fact, the Holy Dynasty has been five thousand years, for such a long time, there are not one hundred and eighty people in the royal family who are plotting to seize power and become emperor, but why only Li Qianlong succeeded?
It's not luck, it's real strength, just like until now, the Shoufu Pavilion hasn't figured out how Li Qianlong won over Nie Zhizhong, the Lord of the Starry Sky.
So, in addition to Nie Zhizhong, what other immortals in the world will support Li Qianlong?
It's hard to know for sure.
The layout of the other party is afraid that it started a long time ago, and maybe it has secretly infiltrated the various factions of the Holy Dynasty.
In the dream life, Li Qianlong did not claim the title of emperor, Chu Xian knew that it was not that the other party did not want to, but that he had not waited for the opportunity, this person was extremely patient, and he might wait for years, or even decades, for a foolproof opportunity.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Chu Xian became, he thought that he and Shoufu Pavilion had already taken a big look at Li Qianlong, but they didn't expect that they still underestimated this opponent.
Chu Xian took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions. Now I have a rough idea of how this Holy Ancestor Edict came out of the Hundred Immortals Diagram, but I know that this is of little significance, and what really needs to be solved is the matter of the Holy Ancestor's Edict.
After understanding the Holy Ancestor of Taizong, Chu Xian can be said to have read all the classics about the Holy Ancestor of Taizong, including the precepts and anthologies of the Holy Ancestor, and it can be said that he can recite them backwards and have a deeper understanding of the Holy Ancestor of Taizong.
To put it simply, with Chu Xian's understanding of the Holy Ancestor of Taizong, it is absolutely impossible for the Holy Ancestor to leave this kind of edict.
That's not the style of the Holy Ancestor, nor is it the original intention of the Holy Ancestor to govern the Holy Dynasty, it's very simple, if the Holy Ancestor wants to implement the imperial system, why establish the Shoufu Pavilion, from the time of the Holy Ancestor, set up the emperor, and pass it down from generation to generation, why leave this edict?
What is this not taking off your pants and farting?
Therefore, from this point, it can be concluded that the edict of the Holy Ancestor is false.
But here's the problem, when can this fake thing be exactly the same as the real thing, and even many Dao immortals, even Master Lu Yan can't tell the difference.
Chu Xian believes that when this problem is solved, he will not be far from the truth.
