In the room, after Ji Pingan entered the information, he waited patiently for a moment and saw the text returned on the paper:
[Xin Yaoguang:? 】
It's really simple and direct, full of aloofness... Ji Ping'an exhaled and did not immediately state his purpose, but wrote:
[Something happened in Yuhang tonight. 】
[Xin Yaoguang: Say]
It's so short, let's see if you can stay calm later... Ji Ping'an said:
[The martial arts temple was destroyed, and someone stole the country’s destiny]
As soon as these words were spoken, the text on the paper disappeared first, and then Xin Yaoguang's response suddenly popped up:
【What did you say? ! What happened? 】
Across the paper, it seemed that one could see the shocked and anxious expression of the female headmaster. Unable to maintain her aloof persona any longer, Ji Pingan slowly wrote down the matter piece by piece and sent it.
…
In the capital of the gods, inside the Qingyun Palace, the Silent Garden.
The cold moonlight shone down, and the courtyard it reflected was particularly quiet. Among the row of houses on the north side, the one belonging to Xin Yaoguang was lit.
Wearing a lotus crown, a feathered cloak, and a stunning appearance, the female Taoist priest sat cross-legged in front of the window in a daze, holding the Taoist sutra in her hands and raising her slender eyebrows.
On the flawless face, the expression first showed shock and anger, and then the brows gradually relaxed.
When he learned that Ji Ping'an had solved the crisis, Rao had a full understanding of his abilities, but Xin Yaoguang still felt shocked.
"This Ji Ping'an... As expected, there will be a lot of things to do wherever you go." The female Taoist thought.
In the capital of the gods, it was enough to show extraordinary performance repeatedly. Now I went to Lanzhou and fought against those old guys who had returned from "history", and I didn't fall behind...
If she hadn't been so sure, she would have even questioned whether this little star official was also resurrected from the dead.
Shaking his head, Xin Yaoguang lowered his head slightly and swept the paper with his slender hands: [I already know this, what else can I do? 】
[Ji Ping'an: I would like to ask about information about the 'celestial beings']
[Xin Yaoguang: Why do you ask this? 】
[Season: Curiosity]
...Xin Yaoguang stared blankly at these two words, his eyes becoming weird: This little guy is getting bolder and bolder, actually speaking in this tone.
Shaking her head, she still wrote:
[Although our Taoist scriptures contain many secrets, there are still not many records of 'celestial beings'. In other words, as of now, the entire cultivation world has no public opinion on whether 'celestial beings' exist.
The so-called "celestial beings" refer to the existences mentioned in some legends recorded by ancestors of all ethnic groups during the ancient times of ignorance. According to legend, when one of them appears, there will be a sudden change in the celestial phenomena, and it will not descend from the mortal world, and it will appear briefly...
There are all kinds of unpredictable powers, but there is no evidence that they actually exist.
'Heavenly Beings' are just like 'Red Earth Immortals', they are things passed down from ancient times and are not sure whether they exist or not. Over the years, various major sects have continued to study and explore, and they also tend to believe that it is more likely to be a 'myth and legend'. 】
The implication is: it cannot be true.
After all, you know the authenticity of things like myths and legends.
Many great practitioners believe that "celestial beings" do not exist at all, but that it is the change of heaven itself.
As for the "Red Dust Immortal", it is even more fabricated. It only exists in the legendary realm, and no one has reached it since ancient times.
But some people are skeptical: If it is purely fabricated, then why did similar legends exist in various places and ethnic groups in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient?
Ji Ping'an has lived for a thousand years, so he certainly knows these things. The reason why he asked is to elicit some requirements in a logical way.
For example, checking some Taoist classics to confirm some things... Some things are too far away after all, so I can't remember them clearly.
As for the latest "academic theories" in the spiritual world, he may not have read them.
[Ji Ping'an: I want to know the exact records of 'celestial beings' appearing in the Central Plains area from ancient times to the present]
Xin Yaoguang pursed her lips and realized that this was the reward the other party asked for after saving Yu Hang.
Although I don't know why it is needed, as a Taoist leader, I have a certain demeanor and don't bother to ask.
After all, it's not important information.
She replied "Okay" and her figure suddenly faded away.
When he reappeared, he had arrived at a huge pavilion in the "Sutra Department" of Qingyun Temple. As far as the eye could see, there were all Sutra books.
The female Taoist glanced at her slender eyebrows and raised her hand to grab it. Suddenly a booklet flew over and she flipped through it out of thin air.
She raised her hand to write and passed the information she had found. It took a long time before she got Ji Ping'an's response:
【Thank you, I understand】
What do you understand? Xin Yaoguang's curiosity arose in her heart for a long time, like a cat scratching her head, but as a head teacher, she was reluctant to ask a junior.
On the other side, inside the room.
Ji Pingan found the information he wanted from the line of records on the paper, and his eyes became solemn.
He had just learned about the geography and history of Kyushu, compared the appearances of Taoist Masters in the pictures, and combined them with the records of "Heavenly Man", he basically determined:
The "celestial beings" mentioned by ancient ancestors are undoubtedly Tao Zun... at least, part of the "celestial beings" are.
"So, the picture I saw is not false, but consistent with historical records... What is the mystery about the identity of Taoist Master and the ancient saints? Who is the other saint among the four saints?"
Ji Ping'an's thoughts were up and down, and he was looking at the moonlight outside the window in trance.
Jiang Jiang floated beside him curiously, looking at him with his arms folded, confusion appearing on his face.
…
…
The capital of gods, the royal palace.
Under the night, a chariot slowly left the "Qianqing Palace" and arrived at the Ancestral Temple.
The old eunuch opened the curtain, and then Emperor Yuan Qing, dressed in white uniforms, with black hair and a majestic bearing, hurriedly stepped out of the carriage.
"Your Majesty!" a group of Yulin guards shouted in unison.
Emperor Yuan Qing had a cold face, waved his hand, left the others behind, and walked straight into the Huangwa Ancestral Temple alone.
As usual, he walked through the spacious and elegant courtyard and arrived at the red door. He placed his hands on it and pushed hard.
"Wow."
The door opened, the candlelight flickered in the hall, and the light of the waning moon crossed the threshold from outside the door and spread into the hall.
On the altar table, the ancestors' rankings swayed slightly, the light dimmed, the moonlight was forcibly expelled from the hall, and the illusory layered voices came:
"What's going on?"
Emperor Yuan Qing kowtowed respectfully and said:
"Reporting to Emperor Taizu, the Nine Provinces in the palace have changed, and the national destiny in the direction of Lanzhou has been shaken. I don't know what happened yet, so I came here to ask my ancestor for advice."
"Emperor Taizu" at the altar table calmly listened and said:
"Lanzhou is fine, no need to panic."
Emperor Yuan Qing let out a long sigh of relief at first, letting go of his worries, and then he became curious:
Could Emperor Taizu be aware of the changes in the country's destiny while he was in the Ancestral Temple?
However, he knew the temper of "Taizu", so he did not ask further questions. Instead, he stated the recent information one by one, and finally said:
"Now that all the major forces have noticed it, they have no choice but to order the military offices in various places to search for them in advance. However, all the factions have sent people to gather in the Central Plains. Yuhang City is currently afraid of..."
"Emperor Taizu" said:
"Qin Tianjian has already entered Yuhang, so there is no need to invest too much energy here."
Has Jian Zheng entered Yuhang?
Emperor Yuan Qing was startled. You must know that it has been a long time since the former went out to travel, and he has not heard any relevant news for a long time. Even the prisoner who was rewarded by the gods has not returned.
He originally wanted to say that he had found traces of Ji Ping'an and ordered the military government to kill him.
Now it seems that it is difficult to do it.
Unless he can leave Yuhang.
…
…
That night, Yuhang City was not peaceful. The search by the officials lasted all night and finally stopped at dawn the next day.
At this time, the news about the "violence" of "thieves" in the city last night gradually spread.
This is the version for ordinary people. The forces in the world are concerned about the collective appearance of "Darknet Killers", and it is suspected that a sword-bearer of this generation has been born.
The forces at a higher level are still speculating on who is responsible for the attack and why the Four Saints are so bold.
As for the episode at the Nangong Family dinner, in comparison, it became a foil to this important event.
However, all these disturbances are over for Ji Ping'an.
early morning.
When Ji Pingping got up and went out, he found that the wind in the city had greatly reduced.
After having dinner with Yu Yu and others, Mu Yaoyao was ordered to practice in her room, while Huang He and Yu Yu went out to inquire about the aftermath of this incident.
Ji Ping'an stretched himself and opened the Gua Guan shop as usual. As soon as he opened the door, he saw an old prisoner wearing an ordinary gray robe with white hair and beard walking over with a smile.
"Really on time." Ji Ping'an twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and sat down.
The wind was blowing in the willows and the sun was shining brightly. The old supervisor was not annoyed by his attitude. He sat down and waved his hand, and the teapot and cups flew to the side. Then he said with a smile:
"What you did last night was not bad."
Ji Ping'an said "ha" in his heart and said:
"Is the supervisor happy to see it?"
Qin Tianjian smiled kindly:
"With wine and meat, it's natural and relaxing."
Ji Ping'an glanced at his eldest disciple and wondered from whom did he learn this shameless energy...
Seeing that he was silent, Jian Zheng took a sip of herbal tea by himself, and then said curiously:
"Aren't you curious, why didn't I take action? Just sit back and watch?"
Ji Ping'an said slowly:
"Without my arrangement, you would have taken action."
His tone was very firm, which made Jian Zheng feel a strange emotion, as if the young man in front of him knew him better than himself.
Ji Pingan continued:
"However, you didn't even show up. There must be another reason for this."
Hearing this, Qin Tianjian's admiring expression showed a hint of surprise. He took a deep look at the young man in front of him and sighed:
"Your demeanor really has the same demeanor as the Imperial Master did in the past."
"..."
The old supervisor just sighed with emotion, and then said seriously:
"The Four Saints' adventure to steal the country's destiny is indeed beyond my expectation. Old man, although I sensed the danger in advance, it was difficult to capture it with astrology. I originally guessed that it might be because of the 'resurrection from the dead' Therefore, it is difficult to predict, but now it seems that the impact of the national destiny may be greater.”
Ji Ping'an stared at him:
"But you still guessed it."
"Yes," Jian Zheng sighed softly, with nostalgia in his eyes:
"These young practitioners today have not experienced that era, and have no concept of the real fighting and fighting among practitioners, and their understanding of the so-called 'big road must be fought' is too shallow. But I, the old man, barely caught a glimpse of the tail end of the last turmoil in Kyushu. Even if you don't rely on divination, you can still guess a thing or two. But you can guess it, it's really not easy."
Ji Ping'an said nothing and motioned for him to continue.
Jian Zheng pondered for a moment and continued:
"At first, I wanted to intervene directly and arrest some Four Saints for torture. But when I came up with this idea, the starry sky gave me a revelation that once forcibly intervened, it might lead to some chain reactions and make certain things happen in the future. Bad transition.”
This sentence is very vague, but the "Star Official" prophecy is like this. The more important it is, the more vague and unpredictable the premonition of one's own destiny will be.
Ji Ping'an frowned slightly:
"A transformation that would make even those in the Heaven-Observing Realm fearful?"
Jian Zheng said "En", put down the tea cup, his face was solemn and serious:
"As a star official, you should know that you should never treat this kind of premonition lightly. Of course, if those people really take away the country's destiny, I will have no choice but to stop them. Fortunately, it didn't come to that point."
Ji Pingan nodded and asked:
"Is there anything else? Did you sense it?"
Jian Zheng was silent for a moment and said:
"Not sure, but I have a hunch that it's best for me not to leave Yuhang in the next period of time."
Ji Ping'an thought for a while and said:
"No one in Yuhang City is stronger than you, so it should not be that you will be in danger after leaving, but that some forces will follow or have noticed your existence. And once you leave, Yuhang will be in danger? Just like this time when the tiger leaves the mountain ?”
He offered a guess.
Jian Zheng said seriously:
"Maybe so, maybe not."
Why are all the star officers under me so confused... Ji Ping'an resisted the urge to hold his forehead and said:
"If that's the case, then when you came to my place today, you just wanted to give me a compliment, or explain why you didn't take action?"
"No," the white-bearded supervisor's eyes were deep and hidden with vicissitudes of life:
"I came here this time because I had a premonition that you might leave Yuhang for a short time. Well, it won't be long. So I want to remind you to keep your spirits up and be careful of the dangers hiding in the dark."
He raised his hand and threw out another tip bag:
"This thing is given to you. If you encounter a crisis that is difficult to solve, you can open it and take a look. It may be helpful."
Ji Ping'an raised his hand to take it and found that the kit was sealed by a star power and could not be opened because "the time has not yet come".
His eyes became strange, thinking that he seemed to have protected his disciples in this way back then.
Now it's reversed. The former disciple is finally able to protect himself as his "teacher"...
After Jian Zheng said this, he turned around and turned into starlight to escape without staying any longer.
In the shop, only Ji Ping'an was left sitting in a chair, stroking the kit in trance - the true meaning of Jian Zheng's words just now, was he hinting that he might be in danger next?
But what could happen?
Ji Ping'an thought and waited quietly in the shop.
The whole day passed peacefully without any special incident.
Only the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop next door chatted with him boringly, asking him what gossip happened in the Nangong family.
Until the evening, the red clouds fell.
When Huang He and Yu Yu returned, they also brought explosive news:
The leader of the martial arts alliance issued a "Heroic Order" and prepared to mobilize the power of the world to eradicate the resurgent Four Saints.
…
Follow the trend and wish you good luck in the college entrance examination. Although I very much doubt that any of the readers of our book are going to take the college entrance examination...
