The door of the main hall was pushed open, and Ji Ping'an stepped in, facing a pair of surprised, shocked, and confused eyes without any nervousness.
Tonight, he was going to reveal the secret with his own hands.
There are considerations behind:
First, considering the degree of correlation and the results shown on the star map, even if he continues to hide the news of the return of the stars, the major sects will also respond.
Secondly, in his calculations, this return was different from the previous ones in history. As the former first star officer, when the meteor streaked across the sky, he faintly sensed a sense of fateful crisis.
Thirdly, it was the cracks of the wood carvings that made him vaguely make an extremely crazy but without evidence guess. If that guess was true, it would have alerted these sects who were apparently allies with each other earlier and treated him similarly. More beneficial.
At least, compared to possible enemies, the five sects appear to be much more amiable.
Of course, he was only going to tell part of it. Key information, such as moon anomalies and certain speculations, are not planned to be made public.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Qi Hongmian stared at him with squinted eyes, diverting the fire.
The five warlords looked confused and suddenly had some kind of premonition.
"Headmaster, Ji Sichen is going to break in, we..." The Taoists in Tsing Yi outside the hall hurriedly cleared the air, Xin Yaoguang's red lips lightly opened:
"knew."
Then the palace door slammed shut.
A chair moved on its own, and Ji Pingan walked over to sit down without ceremony.
Looking around at everyone, he said calmly:
"I know you are confused about the connection between this spiritual recovery and the celestial phenomena, and it just so happens that I hold some secrets."
Too lazy to talk nonsense, Ji Pingan directly threw the bag on the table, took out a new or old astrology record, and said calmly without waiting for anyone to ask questions:
"Here are some of the astrological records stored in the Qintian Prison. Each one spans at least hundreds of years... and based on careful calculations and restoration and calculation of some of the ancient records, we can be surprised to find that the stars in the sky are Operation, in fact, every once in a while, a 'reset' will occur, and all the stars will return to their original positions...
"Today is once, there was once four hundred years ago, and it was also once seven hundred years ago... And according to the history books corresponding to the dates, shortly after the stars return to their positions, the pattern of the human world will change, some of which are more obvious, such as today Generally speaking, but more are obscure and slow, difficult to detect..."
He took out the records one by one and threw them on the table while explaining in a calm tone.
In the entire hall, everyone seemed confused at first, but soon, everyone's expressions changed, turning into unprecedented solemnity and seriousness.
Li Guofeng and others took the lead in picking up the star map and tried to correspond to what Ji Ping'an said, and then their pupils contracted.
Although the rest of the people have limited understanding of astrology, they also know that this kind of thing is actually easy to prove, and there is no need for Qin Tianjian to act out this scene.
Also shocked.
The stars return to their positions...a "great cycle" that spans tens of millions of years and repeats itself every once in a while, corresponding to great changes in the world...
Once this argument was raised, it was difficult for everyone to remain calm.
"Li Jianhou, is this true?" Gao Mingjing picked up a record, scanned it and looked at the five eunuchs solemnly, "Such a major matter has never been mentioned by Qintian Jian."
Li Guofeng and the other five were speechless and wanted to explain, but they didn't know. But I know this explanation is too absurd.
Ji Ping'an saw this and said calmly: "The five warlords don't know this secret."
Are you kidding? How did you know... Gao Mingjing subconsciously wanted to refute, but then he woke up and his eyes sharpened:
"What you mean is..."
Ji Ping'an said "yes" and came up with an all-purpose reason:
"This is the discovery of the National Preceptor, and this is also the most important task he has given me."
The five warlords were not surprised by this answer. After all, there had been precedents for similar things before, but they were just a bit sour.
However, considering the potential shown by Ji Ping'an and the previous internal strife in Qin Tianjian, it seems that this is indeed a safe option.
The arrangement of the Imperial Master... Hearing this answer, the others present were startled at first, and then their convictions suddenly increased a lot.
As for why Ji Ping'an received such an important task from the National Teachers Commission... the speculation of personal transmission is no longer a secret.
Fang Liuhuo suddenly realized: "So, you deliberately chose to watch the stars today because of..."
Ji Pingan said:
"Although the national master is strong, it is difficult to predict the starry sky. I only said that the cycle will be in late summer and early autumn, but I did not expect it to be so much earlier. Moreover, it is accompanied by the revival of spiritual essence."
The meaning of this sentence is:
This round of return is extremely special and deserves great attention.
Xin Yaoguang asked: "Where are those flying stars?"
Ji Ping'an shook his head:
"I don't know, but it's definitely not simple. But I think if we can find those fallen meteors, we might be able to find something."
This kind of big project cannot be handled by him alone.
The imperial court and these "local snake" sects stationed in major state capitals must be mobilized.
No one was surprised by his answer. The National Preceptor was able to predict this and was already called a "man of heaven". As for the specific details, it was normal for the prediction to be inaccurate.
If everything is calculated, it will appear false.
The hall fell into an eerie silence for a moment, with everyone bowing their heads in deep thought.
After a long time, Xin Yaoguang spoke slowly. The female headmaster looked solemn at this moment and said:
"Obviously, there are some secrets hidden in the starry sky that we haven't noticed yet. When the heaven and earth move, I also try to see clearly, but I also find resistance. Therefore, I look for and collect flying stars scattered everywhere, or a clue, and the Taoist sect will send orders to all states. The gatekeepers of the mansion are searching for it, and the imperial court will be invited to dispatch it later. I hope that everyone here can also cooperate and share the information."
No one had any objections. Even if they didn't know the secret, they would still send someone to investigate, let alone now.
As for whether to "share"...it depends on the specific situation and specific analysis.
Xin Yaoguang continued: "However, this matter may not be solved for a while. In comparison, the turmoil that may be caused by the recovery of Lingsu is what we need to face urgently."
As we all know, since the spirit of heaven and earth fell into a low ebb more than four hundred years ago, it has been difficult for practitioners to advance.
Now that the heaven and earth are loose, I am afraid that there will be no peace in all parts of Kyushu in the next few days.
The first batch of changes will happen to those monks who have been stuck at a certain bottleneck for many years.
Due to changes in the general environment, they will quickly break through and leap to a new level.
The conflicts accumulated in the past will be stimulated by this. If only some low-level monks are promoted, it will not be a big problem. After all, it is an overall promotion, and the court and major factions can still maintain stability.
But if some strong men break through... this will definitely break the stable pattern.
However, considering that the world is relatively peaceful today, chaos will not happen immediately, but the general trend is obvious.
After that, some young geniuses will rise in their realm, impacting the stability of the power class of their respective sects.
Once the control is not good, it is likely to cause power changes or conflicts. In order to maintain internal stability, the best way is to transfer conflicts externally.
This also means that there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the world...
This is just the simplest deduction, but it is enough to scare everyone present.
Of course, this process won't be too fast.
At least in the next few months, there will only be signs, and it will not really start to explode until at least the end of the year.
Troubled times are coming.
Thinking of these four words, everyone looked unhappy.
Although there are many militants in the spiritual world who are looking forward to troubled times, at least a group of people here are "vested interests of the old forces" and are more inclined to maintain the old structure.
Therefore, the true meaning behind Xin Yaoguang’s words is:
While everyone is present, let's reach a gentleman's agreement first and work together to maintain stability within the Great Zhou Dynasty before talking about anything else.
No one, including Qi Hongmian, had any objections to this.
Ji Ping'an calmly watched a group of people talking to each other, discussing possible troubles that might arise in various places in the future, and remained silent.
The current actions of each family are the purpose of his visit today.
As for him, although he has broken three, he is still not strong enough to intervene in these real events.
Moreover, in the next period of time, I am afraid that the strength of monks everywhere will explode, and his Po San, who attracts the attention of thousands of people in the Grand Prize, will gradually become less surprising.
This is also what he wants to see.
And not just because you avoid the troubles that fame brings.
What's more, on the way here, Ji Ping'an kept activating the Dayan Secret Technique, using his own destiny and some old objects in his bag as a medium to perform horoscopes.
And all the results point to the same place.
The meeting lasted for two hours. At the end, everyone hurriedly left with heavy hearts. When Ji Pingan was about to leave, he was stopped by a Taoist priest in Qingyi:
"Ji Sichen, the headmaster wants to meet with you alone."
Xin Yaoguang wants to see me? Can't we chat privately? Must meet?
Ji Ping'an was confused and nodded to the supervisors, letting them go first, and left with the Taoist.
Li Guofeng and others looked at it like lemons. They always felt that in Xin Yaoguang's eyes, their group of prison princes were not as good as Ji Ping'an.
…
…
Silent Garden.
"Please. The master is inside." The Taoist priest in Qingyi pointed at the hanging flower door, showing no intention of entering.
Ji Ping'an smiled and thanked her, and stepped into the cold garden. It was already late at night, the sky was dotted with stars, and the bright moon hung high, and nothing unusual could be seen.
It was as if everything before was an illusion.
It was slightly dark in Jiyuan. When he walked along the bluestone road towards the only light source, he found Xin Yaoguang standing under the eaves, looking up at the stars.
The feather coat is white and soft, as if covered with moonlight, and her flawless face is faintly covered with sadness.
This gave the female headmaster a somewhat delicate temperament.
It seems that only at this time, she is not a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, but a Kun Dao who resides in the world.
When she heard approaching footsteps, she finally put her wandering thoughts back together. She twisted her neck and stared at the young man in front of her with her narrow eyes.
Then, she suddenly took a step forward, a little closer, and then closer again.
Ji Ping'an didn't move. At first, there was still about a foot of distance between the two - this was out of courtesy.
And when Xin Yaoguang's feathers brushed across the ground, slowly walked over, and finally stopped, the two of them were almost close at hand and could smell each other's breath.
Maybe it's because the gap in cultivation is too big, or this body is still too young.
Instinctively, Ji Ping'an's heart beat uncontrollably and his blood flow accelerated. This made him a little helpless and jokingly said:
"Master, please respect yourself."
There was a hint of surprise in Xin Yaoguang's eyes, but she was not angry at his teasing. She just looked at his appearance and suddenly said:
"You look a lot like him."
"with who?"
"National Master." Xin Yaoguang said the name, and then sighed with some regret:
"Although the appearance is different, the temperament and charm are really inherited by 70-80%. Sometimes I think that when the Imperial Master was young, he must be like you."
Ji Ping'an's heart beat again, but this slight difference was inconspicuous among the thumping of his heartbeat.
He smiled: "That's too much praise."
Xin Yaoguang shook her head and did not continue the topic. She turned around, looked at the garden, and said slowly:
"There will be no peace in Kyushu in the future, but for you geniuses, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You will no longer be troubled by spiritual elements. It is difficult to say about the divine treasure, but the realm of observing the sky has the potential to impact. What do you think? What's next? The Grand Prize in the City of Gods has ended. According to the rules of each major sect, after entering Pojiu, you will not stay in the City of God forever. This is not good for your practice. You will eventually have to go into the world to hone yourself. .”
Ji Pingan breathed a sigh of relief silently, turned around, looked at the garden side by side with her, and said:
"I'm going to take a short rest and go to Lanzhou. I heard that there is a mixture of fish and dragons there. It's more lively than the gods. There are more and more powerful forces, which is convenient for honing your cultivation. I happened to meet a child of the Pei family during this big prize. It’s also a lot of help when you’re in trouble.”
This was his prepared plan, an honest and impeccable reason.
The purpose is to hide the true purpose:
The horoscope results one after another pointed to Lanzhou, and the feedback from the stars told him that the hope of improving his cultivation and solving the mysteries of the starry sky lay in Yongzhou.
In addition, there was an extremely vague prediction that puzzled him:
He may encounter some astrologically difficult things to explain in Lanzhou.
Going out for training is a reason that will not arouse any suspicion.
Coincidentally, he was familiar with Lanzhou and had a treasure house hidden there. He was originally planning to find an opportunity to go there and use the resources there to help him restore his cultivation.
There are also some "disciples" and "favors" that have not been repaid in previous lives, and they must be dealt with.
In addition, if you want to find scattered stars, Lanzhou is also an excellent first choice.
As the center of the entire river and lake, in the prosperous commercial Jiangnan, Yuhang City is no less than the capital of the gods, with a population of one million.
The center of the entire Jiangnan.
Convenient for finding clues.
Xin Yaoguang was not surprised as he nodded and said:
"It is indeed a good place, but with your current reputation in the Grand Prize, you should be cautious if you want to leave the Divine City, so as not to be found by the monster killer."
Ji Ping'an nodded: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me."
Xin Yaoguang waved his hand, and suddenly a piece of paper flew over from the house, fluttered, and landed in Ji Ping'an's hand.
He was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that this was actually a page of Taoist scriptures.
"What does this mean?"
"Ordinary talismans are too far away to send messages. I lend you this page of Taoist scriptures. It can be used for storage and communication. The usage is the same as that of Hongyan talismans. If you have something important, you can send a message to me..."
Xin Yaoguang explained calmly, with an understatement, as if what he was sending was not a fragment of a treasure, but an ordinary iron sword.
Are you changing my phone? Ji Ping'an's eyes were strange and he didn't understand:
"This is too expensive."
Xin Yaoguang was silent for a moment and said:
"Jiang Jiang is also among them. She wants to see the world, but I am too lazy to take her there, so I leave it to you."
She wouldn't say that after returning from the Grand Prize, Jiang Jiang's thoughts became wild and he asked her to go out and see the world.
He asked Ji Ping'an to take him by name.
Xin Yaoguang initially refused, but Jiang Jiang sneered and used the Taoist Scripture as a threat, saying that if you don't agree, don't even think about using even one page of the Taoist Scripture.
As a weapon spirit, she has this ability.
This... Ji Ping'an didn't know what to say, but for him, this was indeed a huge benefit.
Although with his cultivation level and the attributes of the Star Official Path, he cannot use this page of Taoist scriptures.
But if he really encounters danger, he won't be able to use it at all... After all, he can actually use Taoism and so on.
Although he is confident in himself, his cultivation level is still low after all.
No matter how many trump cards you have, it may not be effective when facing a strong enemy. Being able to summon a Divine Hidden Realm Sword Immortal at a critical moment will be of great benefit to increasing your survival rate.
Besides, if you can send messages over long distances... then there will be many ways to play.
Hmm, why does this technique feel a bit familiar? It's similar to the jade plaques he gave to others back then... Ji Ping'an thought about it, but still stuffed the Tao Sutra into his arms, thanked him and left.
But as soon as they left, a petite figure sneaked into the garden. Yu Yu's expression was extremely complicated.
She originally came to Jiyuan because she heard that the discussion over there was over and wanted to ask about the situation.
As a result, from a distance, Ji Ping'an and his master were so close to each other, and then they stood side by side and said something, and then they seemed to give something as a gift.
Although she didn't hear or see clearly, it was enough to make the girl think about it and give birth to a strange NTR feeling...
"Master." Yu Yu's mouth tightened, and he leaned over aggrievedly, with red eyes:
"You were only this close to me before..."
Xin Yaoguang watched the performance of the female drama queen speechlessly. After the latter cried, made trouble and hung herself, she said calmly:
"Is that enough? Not enough to continue."
Yu Yu lowered his head in frustration and remained silent.
Xin Yaoguang sighed and said:
"Enough fussing, let's get down to business. I will give you a task next. Go to Lanzhou with Ji Ping'an to search for the fallen stars, and practice at the same time."
She saw clearly at that time that many of the meteor showers fell within the boundaries of Lanzhou.
Yu Yu looked confused and wiped his squeezed tears with his sleeve:
"ah?"
Xin Yaoguang continued:
"Not just you, the Holy Son and others will also lead their own teams to other state capitals. The specific matters will be arranged by Elder Chen."
Although the Dao Sect has manpower in various places, it is still too weak compared to the Qingyun Palace in the divine capital.
What's more, there are local sectarian forces everywhere, and the farther away the imperial court is from the capital, the weaker it becomes.
If we want to investigate the truth, how can Daomen completely rely on the court? Besides, she has always been wary of the royal family.
…
…
The same night, in an inn in the city.
Pei Qian, who had a round face and a festive look, sneezed, put on his clothes, and ordered the inn waiter to move the bathtub away.
After the grand prize was over, while he was staying in the inn, he didn't pay attention when he saw the Tao realm shattered and he fell into the muddy river.
After drinking several sips of water, and later getting soaked even after climbing ashore, the Third Young Master suddenly felt ashamed and left in a hurry without accepting interviews from people in the world.
After returning to the inn, I changed my clothes and took a shower before I felt more comfortable.
"Squeak." The door was pushed open, and Tie Sha came in holding a dinner plate with wine and meat, placed it on the table, and said:
"Third Young Master, let's have something to eat."
Pei Qian had no appetite and looked regretful:
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have stayed in the inn, but stayed with you."
"..." Tie Sha did not hit him and said:
"The Third Young Master has met such an opportunity this time. This is an achievement that no one on the Qianlong List can achieve in his lifetime. When he returns to his home in Yuhang, I believe that the master and his wife will be happy."
Pei Qian scratched his head and said sheepishly:
"I haven't accomplished anything..."
He still had some tricks up his sleeve, mainly because he had the right thigh, but with his character, if he didn't admire Ji Ping'an, he wouldn't be able to bow down to him.
"It doesn't matter what my parents say, the key is the second sister..."
Pei Qian thought of his talented sister who was famous throughout the Zhou Dynasty and said excitedly:
"She will definitely be happy when I bring back those completed poems."
Tiesha said: "Then I will book a boat tomorrow and go home?"
He was a little worried that Pei Qian would have to experience the Jianghu atmosphere again. He would not ride on a boat or a car, but would have to lead his horse to sleep in the wilderness...
Fortunately, Pei Qian has matured a lot after this incident. He nodded and said:
"Fine."
…
Another inn. The willow trees outside the window were swaying, and the owner of Tingxue House stood in front of the window, still thinking about the scene where the formation was activated and the meteors fell.
She couldn't tell much from her cultivation level, but she was also keenly aware that she had a lot more spiritual power.
"Master, are you really going back to Lanzhou tomorrow? The sisters all want to stay a few more days."
The door was pushed open. Hongying, dressed as a heroine with a high ponytail and a row of short knives and hidden weapons stuck at her waist, said with some frustration.
The capital of the gods is a big city, and transportation is inconvenient these days, so it is not easy to come here.
She wanted to play for a few more days.
The tall female host withdrew her gaze, glanced at her, and said:
"Although Juxian Village was ordered to be eradicated by the imperial court, there must still be many fish that slipped through the net in the end. Those local officials will not try too hard. If they return a day earlier, they can stabilize the situation earlier, and... I have a vague hunch. In the next period, Jianghu may not be too stable."
Hongying said "Oh" and said sadly, "Okay."
She didn't care about the words that the world was unstable. After all, in her opinion, the world had never been stable.
…
In the Nancheng courtyard.
Luan Yu walked along the corridor and arrived outside a certain room, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
After receiving the approval, she pushed the door open and entered the room. Through the white jade bead curtain, she looked at Qi Hongmian sitting in front of the dressing mirror, combing Huofeng's hair with green jade fingers, and reported:
"The disciples have finished packing and can return tomorrow."
In the dressing mirror, Qi Hongmian's dignified and majestic oval face was reflected. She didn't have much expression, she just said "en".
According to the original plan, they would stay for a few more days, but unexpected changes prevented them from delaying any longer.
The Beast Control Sect is located in Lanzhou and has had many enemies over the years. Now that the world has changed, if any enemy in the world takes advantage of the situation to break through, it will be a problem for the empty sect.
Qi Hongmian needs to go back and take charge of the overall situation.
"Is there anything else?" Qi Hongmian asked suspiciously when he saw that Luan Yu had not left.
Luan Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a matter of disciple training. Yuan Yang wants to stay in the capital of gods to train..."
Qi Hongmian sneered and refused ruthlessly:
"The capital of the gods is tightly controlled by the imperial court. Occasionally, there are some monsters jumping around, but they are not enough for the Taoist sect to kill. What kind of experience does she have?"
After a pause, he added:
"But for this big prize, the brother and sister are indeed too young and need to hone their skills. Let's do it this way. If she wants to go, she can arrange to go to Yuhang City. It just happens to be looked after by the agent of the sect there, and she can save money. Accident."
Luan Yu breathed out softly, not daring to disobey:
"yes."
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Ancestral Temple.
When Emperor Yuan Qing's chariot arrived outside this independent yellow glazed tile building, the imperial guards stationed here lined up to greet him.
"Your Majesty!" Under the light, the leading general knelt on one knee, his armor reflecting like broken gold under the light of the torch.
Emperor Yuan Qing got out of the car and said "En" in a majestic tone:
"You are waiting here, you are not allowed in."
"Here!"
Then, Emperor Yuan Qing walked into the Ancestral Temple alone and walked along the white main road.
The Imperial Ancestral Temple is very large and is divided into several palaces. The most important one, the one dedicated to the ranking, is located deep inside.
When he arrived outside the most magnificent hall, he dismissed the waiters, pressed his hands on the red painted door leaf, and pushed hard.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open violently, making a sound, and the flames of the bright lamp in the hall danced.
Emperor Yuan Qing crossed the threshold and walked to the altar table alone. In his sight, there were royal memorial tablets arranged in order.
His eyes raised little by little, and finally landed on the top one.
At the same time, the table full of spiritual tablets suddenly began to shake slightly.
Emperor Yuan Qing looked solemn and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Yuan Qing pays homage to Taizu."
In the main hall, the lights flickered, looking a little eerie and eerie. Suddenly, an indistinguishable, illusory voice sounded:
"Why are you here?"
Emperor Yuan Qing was trembling with fear: "Emperor Taizu, the sky is abnormal tonight, the spirit has revived, and there may be something unexpected..."
"Emperor Taizu" was not surprised. After listening to his story quietly, he said:
"This is the number of days, and it cannot be stopped. The flying stars will fall, the demons will emerge, and the purple will shake. You must secretly send people to Jiuzhou to find the people who are 'resurrected from the dead' tonight, and eradicate them, so that the country can be stable. Remember , it must be kept secret and not publicized.”
The person who came back from the dead... Emperor Yuan Qing was greatly surprised, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He secretly wrote it down, hesitated and said:
"Taizu, there is a big prize today. Qin Tianjian unexpectedly won the first prize, and his reputation has been greatly boosted..."
He talked about the matter again, mentioned Ji Ping'an, and apologized:
"If we knew that this boy's talent was so amazing, we should have sent Pojiu Wufu to hunt him earlier. We didn't want to scare the snake, which would lead to disaster."
"Emperor Taizu" said indifferently:
"Throughout the dynasties, there have been countless geniuses. Now that all the demons have come to the world, a small star official is nothing to worry about. But since he is the heir selected by the national master, if there is a chance, it is better to kill him."
Emperor Yuan Qing secretly thought: Next, Ji Ping'an may leave the capital to experience, and hunting will be much easier.
He kowtowed and said, "Follow Taizu's order."
