The God Emperor waved his hand and forcibly changed the topic:
"Okay, that's not important. Mainly, I think, a real man lives in heaven and earth, and he will do whatever he thinks of. Now that you know her whereabouts and she is in danger, you can go if you want. I support you. "
Ji Ping'an said speechlessly: "Me neither..."
The God Emperor's plump little face looked old-fashioned:
"I understand. You are investigating the intelligence held by the Four Holy Religions in order to find out the truth about the return of the stars. Moreover, we must oppose what the enemy advocates. Isn't this what you said back then?
In this case, let's go there and kill the members of the Four Holy Sects in Lanzhou in one fell swoop. This will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Demon Sect. As for Xue Ji, she did it conveniently. right? "
Ji Ping'an opened his mouth: "I..."
The God-Emperor patted the dust on his buttocks and said:
"Anyway, you should think about this matter carefully, ask yourself in your heart, and inform us when you are going to leave. If you are not planning to go, then just give us an answer, and then we can discuss whether to practice peacefully in the city or continue to investigate. 'On Earth', or find other reborns."
After saying that, the little fat man twisted his buttocks, stepped on the green tiles, stepped on the bamboo ladder and carefully climbed down the ridge of the roof, yawned and went to sleep.
He was unexpectedly free and easy, which made the Imperial Master a little envious.
"Ask yourself?"
Ji Ping'an was stunned and silent for a moment. He took out the brocade bag from his arms and poured out half of a dark green jade pendant.
…
"A miracle?"
At the headquarters of the Four Holy Sects, Xue Ji listened to the footsteps of the old woman leaving, murmuring.
Involuntarily, a person appeared in my mind.
Then, she groped in the sleeves of her robe by mistake, and when she opened her palm again, half a piece of jade pendant appeared in her palm.
The jade pendant was not big. It should have been in the shape of a ring. Its surface was embossed with simple patterns, and its entire body was dark green. However, it seemed that it had been cut in the middle by a sharp weapon, leaving only half of it.
No one knows that this item on the Demonic Saint's body was left behind by her in her previous life.
To be precise, it was the only funerary object buried in the tomb of the twilight "Master Tingxue" more than 300 years ago.
In this life, Xue Ji walked for a long time after her rebirth, followed her memory to find her tomb, and took out the burial object from it.
It was precisely because of this move that he was exposed to the eyes of the Four Saints, which indirectly led to him being imprisoned in this cage again.
And if the God Emperor were here, he would definitely recognize it at a glance:
This jade pendant was apparently worn by the military advisor many years ago. However, after he was captured by the Demonic Saint, all his belongings were taken away, including this item.
Xue Ji clearly remembered that after the God Emperor led his army to destroy the helm, she was able to "fake death" to escape, and then she became worried after realizing it:
Will that guy go back on his promise?
Men are always good at talking sweet words. Now that he is out of danger, and he is trapped in the army, the situation has reversed. Can the "cooperation" originally promised be fulfilled?
It's really strange. I should have found a way to restrain them before reaching a cooperation, but for some reason I didn't.
Fortunately, the little strategist of the rebel army spent a lot of money and tried many methods to finally remove the poisonous worm from her body.
"From now on, you and I don't owe each other anything."
In the room that served as a temporary medical center, the young military advisor used homemade "tweezers" to place a dead, blood-stained Gu worm on a porcelain plate, and said with a smile:
"Miss Xue Ji, congratulations on regaining your freedom."
Xue Ji from the past was sitting in front of him, her clothes half-undressed, a white arm exposed, a bloody hole on her shoulder, and the fleshy buds were slowly moving.
Hearing this, he was startled for a moment and said numbly: "Thank you."
It's really strange. I thought that on the day of liberation, I would be overjoyed, overjoyed, and eager to rush to the world of freedom.
But when I really broke free from the shackles, there was no joy in my heart.
She remembered that she asked immediately: "Then what I will do next..."
The military advisor smiled and said, "You can leave at any time."
It was not until many years later that Xue Ji understood why she was not happy at all at that time.
Because the beetle was not removed for one day, she could use the excuse of "fulfilling the contract" to stay with him, and the day the beetle was removed would be the time when she was about to part with that little strategist.
When the poisonous insect is planted in the body, he desperately wants to leave.
But the poison in his body was gone, and he desperately wanted to stay.
The poison in the body has been removed, but the "poison" in the heart is still deep-rooted.
Only then did she realize that the "heart poison" was far more powerful than the "gu" used by the Demon Cult to control people. It was so terrifying that she followed him willingly.
So she bandaged the wound, walked out of the "medical center", and walked around the military camp for a while. She found the future God Emperor in the strange eyes of the soldiers, and asked the question out of nowhere:
"Can I join you?"
Standing in front of a huge map, the God-Emperor was extremely irritable as he temporarily transferred his troops to rescue the military advisor, causing the defense line to become a mess.
After hearing this, he carefully examined the "demonic witch" in front of him for a moment, and said coldly:
"You should know what will happen if the news is spread that the demon witch is in the army."
Xue Ji turned pale.
The God Emperor waved his hand and said:
"Of course, you were brought back by the military advisor after all. If you insist on following, you can go to the military advisor and tell him. If he agrees, I will agree."
Xue Ji nodded blankly, walked out of the big tent in a daze, and then wandered outside the medical center for a long time. After all, she still didn't have the courage to go in.
Instead, he returned to his temporary residence and packed his packages alone.
She also found the military counselor's jade pendant from the package. She originally wanted to wait for the other party to fulfill the agreement before returning it to him, but suddenly she didn't want to give it back.
Just like that, Xue Ji, with a bandage on her shoulder, walked out of the military camp step by step, carrying her own small baggage, her steps getting slower and slower, hypocritically thinking that someone would come to save her, but there was no such thing.
"Ha." She laughed to herself, raised her arm and wiped it quickly in front of her eyes, and then walked away quickly.
Unknown to him, shortly after she left, the military advisor who had finished his busy work pushed open her residence with a food box, and was stunned to find that she had already left without saying goodbye.
The next day, the army broke out and headed north.
Xue Ji was alone, heading south.
Next, Xue Ji kept her name anonymous and began to walk around the world while guarding against being found by the Demon Cult again, following the stories told to her by the military advisor from all over the world.
Go to Wanzhou to see the broken bridge he talked about.
Go to Yuezhou to climb the Goddess Peak he talked about.
Go to Qingzhou to see the rising sun he mentioned.
Go to Beiguanzhou to see the wildest snow in the world.
Go to Leizhou to pick the sweet wild grapes he said.
…
Everywhere she went, she would find well-informed people to inquire about the situation in Kyushu, and learned that the rebel army had attacked the city and occupied several states.
became the largest force.
She will smile when she hears good news, and she will be unhappy when she hears bad news, but it is always good news.
But as that army became stronger and stronger, and the name of the military advisor spread throughout the world, she found to her dismay that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther.
In fact, Xue Ji once had a dark thought in her heart:
They secretly hope that the rebel army will fail and be wiped out by the court, so that the military advisor will be defeated and then hide in the rivers and lakes anonymously.
When the time comes, she will be a former demon sect saint and not a good person.
He is the former bandit leader of the rebel army, and he is also not a good person.
Don't dislike anyone, that's great.
But the reality is often not what people want. Finally, a few years later, when she walked to the place again, she was surprised to find that the city had been replaced by a familiar flag.
And received a piece of bombshell news: the rebel army had broken through the capital of Daqian and changed its flag.
Another year passed, and the world was initially settled, news came out that the leader of the rebel army was going to proclaim himself emperor in the capital of God, and the country would be named Dazhou.
Xue Ji packed her bags and turned around to Zhongzhou.
When she entered the Divine Capital, it happened to be the enthronement ceremony. The entire Divine Capital was decorated with lights and the streets were filled with crowds.
She was lost in the crowd and followed the flow of people all the way to the imperial city. From a distance, she saw two people on the top of the city who were being worshiped by the soldiers in the city.
One is the Divine Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the other is the Imperial Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xue Ji stood in the crowd, as tiny as an inconspicuous ant.
She raised her head and squinted her eyes at the man on top of the city. She always felt that he was looking at her, but there were tens of thousands of people in the square outside the imperial city, and the Imperial Master was just overlooking every citizen equally.
That day, the sun was blazing, and Xue Ji's heart felt like an abyss.
She finally gave up the idea of trying to enter the imperial city: the auras emanating from the godly generals guarding the city frightened her.
Xue Ji came and Xue Ji left again.
From beginning to end, no trace was left in the city.
She returned to Lanzhou and the familiar world, and learned that the Four Holy Sects had been wiped out by that man. She no longer had to worry about being found.
Therefore, Xue Ji, who was no longer young this year, decided to do something. She rescued some girls who were kept by some Jianghu forces and began to teach them cultivation and martial arts.
She didn't like the magic skills, so she didn't pass them down. Considering that women were not good at close combat, she focused on hidden weapons.
Gradually, a women's sect named Tingxuelou appeared in the Lanzhou arena.
She chose the location of the sect and built a bamboo building. When she was not busy, she would stand in the bamboo building and look outside in a daze, listening to the snow.
She likes the days when the snow is flying in the middle of winter the most.
"Master, master, why do you like snow?"
After the young girl finished practicing, she ran to the bamboo tower and tilted her head to ask.
Crow's feet have grown out of the corners of her eyes. Xue Ji, who is getting older, raised a finger, put it in front of her lips, and said:
"Shhh. Listen carefully to the sound of snow falling."
The girl listened carefully and wondered: "There is obviously no sound."
Xue Ji shook her head and said:
"Someone is telling a story, and there is a story in every snowflake."
The girl held her head and tried hard to think but couldn't figure it out. She simply gave up thinking and turned around and ran down the bamboo building.
He and other girls fought with bamboo swords in the mountains, leaving only a series of white footprints on the floor, which slowly melted into water.
A year has passed.
Three years have passed.
Ten years have passed.
Twenty years have passed.
Every winter, Xue Ji would stand in the bamboo building. Tingxue Building gradually grew in size and could stand on its own. With a new "owner", she, the leader of the sect, was getting older and older.
Disciples would often send news from Kyushu, and the thoughtful female disciples discovered that the master liked to hear news about the great master of the Zhou Dynasty the most.
I heard that the other party went to Tang Dynasty and went to Buddhism to debate scriptures.
Go to the barbarians and reason with King Bai.
Go to the East and West Monster Clan and stabilize the territory bit by bit.
After all, they are some very big events that concern the entire Jiuzhou, all ethnic groups, and top powerhouses, and are far away from the Jianghu.
Xue Ji has more and more wrinkles on her face and spends less and less time out.
Hair is getting grayer.
After giving up practicing the magic method, she gave up the hope of being promoted to Guantian and stayed in the realm of sitting in the well for the rest of her life.
The life span of monks who sit in wells often does not exceed 200 years.
The Great Zhou Imperial Master has been promoted to Shenzang and is in his prime.
Xue Ji became less and less active.
Finally, on another midwinter day with heavy snowfall, Xue Ji, who had a premonition that her end was coming, took out the round, dark green jade pendant, drew her sword, split it in half in the middle, stuffed one half into an envelope, and ordered her to die. The disciple sent it to Qin Tianjian, the capital of God.
Then he took the other half with him and left without saying goodbye.
She remembered that the military counselor once told a story about a cat.
It is said that when an old cat has a premonition that it is about to die, it will leave the place where it lives, find a quiet corner, and die alone and quietly, without being seen by people who are familiar with it.
Xue Ji found a place with beautiful scenery and built a tomb for herself. She bought a shroud in the city and lay down in the coffin. She only took half a jade pendant with her. She used the last of her cultivation to gather the soil without erecting a monument.
The other half of the jade pendant was also sent to the Divine Capital City, Qintian Prison, as expected.
But how could a Jianghu force come into contact with the majestic National Master?
"The Imperial Master is in seclusion and will convey it to him after he comes out of seclusion."
A minor official from the Qintian Prison dismissed the Tingxuelou disciple casually and threw the envelope into the warehouse where the letters were stored.
Because the Imperial Master is so famous, every year, letters from all over Kyushu are sent to Qintianjian, using various excuses to contact the Imperial Master, or letters of thanks from people who have been helped by the Imperial Master have already accumulated. into mountains.
According to the process, these letters will be reviewed by officials first, then sorted by importance, passed up one level at a time, and presented to the Imperial Preceptor at his convenience, and placed on his desk.
And even if everything goes well, according to the order, it will take several years to deliver this letter.
A few years later.
The newly arrived official walked into the warehouse, holding the account book, found the dusty envelope in order, and presented it to the desk of the Imperial Preceptor.
Grand Master Zhou casually tore open the envelope, only to hear a "clang" sound, and half of the jade pendant fell on the table.
The Imperial Master was stunned, as if he remembered something. He used astrology to calculate for a moment, then suddenly stood up, grabbed the jade pendant with one hand, and his body collapsed into starlight.
The great monk Shenzang traveled across the country at lightning speed, and soon appeared on a mountain with beautiful scenery. The national master stood in front of the small, inconspicuous tomb without a tombstone for a long time.
He said softly: "I'm late."
And Xue Ji no longer knows all this.
…
A quiet place on the roof.
In the quiet night, Ji Ping'an came back from his memories and rubbed half of the jade pendant in his hand.
In the end, he was not sure why Xue Ji sent it and what meaning it contained.
But it seems that now I have the opportunity to ask for myself.
"Want to go there?"
Ji Ping'an clenched the jade pendant tightly, his eyes became firm, and he made a decision.
He put the jade pendant into his pouch and took out two things, namely the "big piece" made up of five star fragments and a top-quality elixir.
"You have to hurry up." Ji Ping'an murmured softly, swallowed the pill into his belly, then held the star fragments and began to practice.
The starry sky swayed.
Countless spiritual elements were flying like snow flakes, falling with the starlight, covering the entire courtyard.
As if snow had fallen, the roof and patio of the courtyard were covered with a layer of white frost.
…
Yin Yang Academy, Star Observation Deck.
With a white beard and white hair, wearing a strange robe, holding an astrolabe, and suppressing a broken arm of a magician below, Qin Tianjian, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, opened his eyes.
With the ability of the "Star Officer", he could clearly see a pillar-like galaxy rising in the distance somewhere in Yuhang City, connecting the sky and the earth.
"It's irritating..." Qin Tianjian was shaking his head and sighing. He muttered and raised his hand to cover up the spiritual fluctuations caused by Ji Ping'an's practice.
Then he closed his eyes again.
…
Lanzhou.
On a certain river, a boat cut through the waves. In the darkness, on the deck, a young figure wearing a Tai Chi Bagua robe sat cross-legged with his back to all living beings.
"Hahaha..." Suddenly, the young man burst into laughter, which shook the whole country.
A famous Taoist disciple in the cabin was awakened, and they woke up from their sleep and lit the candles.
A Taoist disciple held a lantern, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and opened the curtain. He only saw the boat shaking violently, and the surrounding river roared crazily, exploding into waves with terrifying force.
He looked at the back figure in front of him and asked in horror:
"Senior brother, what's wrong? But we encountered a strong enemy?"
"Hahaha..." The Holy Son stood up and stood with his hands behind his back. After a group of disciples behind him started asking questions, he slowly stopped his smile and said displeasedly:
"We are patrolling the world on behalf of the Taoist sect. Why are we so panicked? It doesn't matter. It's just that I have just realized something. Breaking through the next realm is not far away."
Huh... It turns out that I just had some understanding. As for controlling the surrounding rivers, is it so big and powerful... The Taoist disciples complained in their hearts and raised their hands on the surface:
"Congratulations, senior brother!"
"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." The Holy Son smiled and said:
"Now that I, the Holy Son, have entered Lanzhou, I will not teach that Ji Ping'an to show off his majesty again. The road ahead is ancient Qiantang County. As a Taoist team, we should go to Yunlin Temple first. Hehe, after hearing that Hong Kong The mage has some skills, and I, the Holy Son, would like to compete with him."
…
It was dawn the next day.
When Yu Yu finally woke up from her practice, she suddenly felt comfortable all over her body. For some reason, she suddenly felt that her spiritual energy was strong last night. After one night, her cultivation level had increased a lot.
"If this keeps up, I'll be able to break six in no time."
Yu Yu was so happy that he was about to go out for a while. He immediately went down to the ground and opened the door. Then he was stunned and saw Ji Ping'an sitting on a wicker chair in the courtyard, his breath gradually condensing.
Seeing the girl looking at him, he turned around and smiled: "I broke seven."
…
I found that once I started writing this kind of thing, I couldn't stop the car. I only wrote half of the plot that I originally planned to advance in this chapter...
(End of chapter)
