"I want to know the real reason why Aunt Jing was voluntarily imprisoned."
Ying Baiye's voice sounded calm, Qing Yanjing looked at him softly, with a "sure enough" look in her eyes.
She knew that her adopted son, who had been extremely smart since he was a child, would be able to detect the anomaly in this matter.
"Well, with your personality, if you can't figure it out, you will definitely pursue it stubbornly."
Qing Yanjing said with a slightly thoughtful tone. "This temperament really hasn't changed at all."
Ying Baiye pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.
Look at him looking like he needs a beating.
Qing Yanjing was amused and immediately shook her head: "Maybe it's not a good time for you to be exposed to these things now."
But Ying Baiye's eyes were firm. This child had a stubborn personality. If he didn't tell him now, he might keep looking for him later. Rather than doing this, it would be better to tell the truth now.
Looking at the man and woman raised by her own hands, Qing Yanjing turned around and looked at the distant sky.
"Once upon a time, in the vast world, a war involving the entire territory broke out. Do you know this?"
"Is it the catastrophe in ancient times?"
"It seems that you have been exposed to some things in this area." Qing Yanjing nodded. "Yes, it was that catastrophe, a war that left the entire world shaken."
Regarding that catastrophe, Si Qingyu's memory inheritance seemed to have deliberately erased that part of the content, but by reading the classics collected by his second uncle, he was able to know to some extent what happened in that catastrophe.
Countless saints died, and Si Qingyu created a new era of Yantian Sect.
But it is strange that many classics do not explain who the enemy in that war was.
"There's not much I can tell you about this matter, because I haven't actually seen them. I only know that they are extremely dangerous existences to the entire world."
Qing Yanjing shook her head and said no more. This was just a reason. What she really wanted to tell Ying Baiye was the following words.
"That war did not eliminate all dangers. Those dangerous enemies are outside the world, staring at everything in this world. The war has never subsided. It is only destroyed by those in ancient times. The strong have won the opportunity to relax.”
"Who are they?"
Ying Baiye narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
Qing Yanjing turned around and looked at Ying Baiye calmly.
"The evil tribe outside the territory."
"Outside the territory...evil clan."
Ying Baiye murmured the name in a low voice.
He suddenly remembered the words Si Qingyu asked in the secret realm of the Four Gods Sacrifice.
"If the balance tips again, what should you do?"
Did she already expect that war would break out again in ancient times?
That's why she was thinking, faced with the same situation as her, what can subsequent practitioners of the Yantian Sutra do?
"Preserve heaven's principles and destroy human desires."
It is an evil practice that goes against human principles, but this is the answer given by Si Qingyu.
Now, will this issue be put in his hands?
He clearly remembered that at that time, when faced with Si Qingyu's question, his answer was "to watch with cold eyes".
He was confident that even if he was alone, he could put the toppled balance back to its original position, so he just had to watch with cold eyes and walk alone.
but now……
Ying Baiye raised his hands, and he found that his hands seemed to be trembling.
Now there is no other person in the entire world who can understand this feeling, because they don't know what the Yantian Sutra means. From the moment he saw Si Qingyu next to the light curtain, he seemed to understand Yantian at once The meaning represented by the sutra is definitely not as simple as a spiritual technique.
It feels like a special mission has chosen you.
He seemed to be carrying something very heavy with these hands.
And when he heard the words "evil tribe outside the territory", this feeling, which was originally like the feeling at the bottom of the lake, gradually became clearer.
His trance only lasted for two or three seconds when he was interrupted by a jade hand holding his.
The hand held his trembling hand firmly, causing him to come back to his senses instantly and look in her direction.
What caught his eye was Ling Xi's concerned gaze. Ying Baiye subconsciously held his heart with his other hand, feeling the vague connection.
Only with this connection can he feel that the world is so real.
He smiled and shook his head at Lingxi, gathered his thoughts, and then looked at Qing Yanjing again.
"So, the real reason is related to this evil tribe from outside the territory?"
Qing Yanjing nodded: "As mentioned before, this war has been going on, and both sides are in a state of recuperation. But in fact, I don't know if the ancient Futu tribe is declining among the five major gods. There seems to be some shadow of the evil clan from outside the territory in this clan.”
"penetration?"
"No." Qing Yanjing shook her head. "Even if it declines, it will not be reduced to this situation. That tower will not allow these evil things to roam around."
"We haven't investigated the specific situation yet. We just know that there seem to be traces of these evil clans in the clan. This is the reason why I was actually voluntarily imprisoned. Until now, we have not found where these traces came from. Is it It is not clear who it came from, whether it was a spy or a collaborator."
"But, what I know is that no matter what, you children must not be exposed to the eyes of these people."
Her beautiful eyes filled with power, she looked at the man and woman in front of her, and then looked in Muchen's direction.
Needless to say, Ying Baiye's talent was of course undeniable. He was able to enter the supreme realm at this age, and he could easily and effortlessly defeat a first-grade supreme being of the same level. With such talent, he could be called a peerless genius even among the five major protoss clans.
And Muchen...
"Mu Chen's talent is more exaggerated than you think. If it really appears in the ancient Buddha clan, it will definitely appear in the eyes of those people. By then, whether it is the bright spears of the other two lines of the ancient Buddha clan, or the evil spirits from outside the territory, The clan’s hidden arrows will bring him countless fatal disasters.”
so……
It was impossible for her to bring him into the Ancient Buddha Clan, as this would only place him in an extremely dangerous environment.
It doesn't mean that she is strong enough to protect the father and son.
Sometimes, no matter how strong you are, you can't take everything into consideration.
Her original idea was just to let the father and son live peacefully in the Northern Spirit Realm and not participate in the chaotic and bloody battlefield of the world.
With the talent Muchen inherited from her, even when resources were scarce, he was enough to dominate the small area of Beiling Realm and protect Muyu and Mufeng.
But unfortunately, sometimes, things always backfire, and Muchen breaks out of that world and enters this dangerous world.
This may be the reason why she is too self-righteous.
But that's fine. It's better to let him wander around alone than to face behemoths like the Shangfutu Ancient Clan and the Evil Clan from outside the territory from the beginning.
As for this higher world, it is natural for her as a mother to carry it.
After hearing what Qing Yanjing said, Ying Baiye still didn't forget the core issue at the beginning.
"So, is Aunt Jing's imprisonment a contract with Futu Xuan?"
Qing Yanjing smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Aunt Jing promised the old man not to tell anyone about this."
Ying Baiye nodded.
The meaning of this sentence is already obvious, and the answer is obviously "yes".
The Ancient Futu Clan has indeed shown signs of decline among the five major divine tribes in recent years. After all, an ancient tribe that is divided into three branches, has constant internal fighting, and some people have ulterior motives. The position of the leader has been vacant for many years. It is difficult for an ancient tribe to go downhill. A normal thing.
However, the thing that Ying Baiye is actually most concerned about right now is...
"Is this a suggestion made by the great elder himself?"
Ying Baiye asked.
Qing Yanjing was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.
The scene suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it made people want to laugh.
Ying Baiye had a weird expression and finally covered his eyes with his hands.
All right.
It seems that this suggestion was a "deal" proposed by my Aunt Jing herself, and the great elder was just convinced by this suggestion.
In this case, it can also explain why there were so many unreasonable things in this matter before.
He originally thought that the great elder was either extremely wise and foolish, or extremely stupid. At first, he was really leaning towards the former, but as of now, it turned out to be the latter.
Even Qing Yanjing and Ying Baiye could somewhat imagine the general process of this incident. Aunt Jing was indeed suppressed and imprisoned by the tower at the beginning. However, no matter how powerful the sacred object was, It is impossible to suppress a real saintly strong man all the time, so if Aunt Jing really wants to launch a riot in the future, it will be easy to escape from imprisonment.
Maybe Aunt Jing had this idea at first.
As long as he escapes and relies on his own strength, even if Qingmai declines again, it is still one of the three meridians. With the blessing of her saint, even if there is no internal division, Qing Yanjing can at least get out of this predicament.
After that, he will confront the stubborn and stupid elder step by step, and one day he will be able to bring Muchen and his son back to the ancient Futu clan.
But in fact, after she didn't know where she learned that "someone in the ancient Futu clan was related to the evil clan outside the territory", she immediately gave up this idea.
She has never seen the evil tribe outside the territory, but she has heard the story of that catastrophe since she was a child. She knows very well what kind of crisis the people she wants to protect will encounter if she goes according to the original plan.
And she also knew what kind of impact it would have on the Ancient Buddha Clan when they had one more saint-grade expert available.
Although she doesn't like this race, this is her home after all, and everything she has now comes from her family.
She could fight against this family for Muchen and his son, but she couldn't just watch it get hurt.
Therefore, based on the above two reasons, she changed her original plan, negotiated with Futu Xuan, and made a deal. The content of the transaction was very simple. She would not make trouble while she was imprisoned, but the Ancient Futu Clan You can't go looking for trouble with those close to you either.
These people include Mu Chen and his son, Ying Bai Ye Lingxi's adopted son and adopted daughter, Yu Chanyin and Kong Ziwei's two best friends, and so on.
That's what this whole thing is about.
This can be regarded as a question that has puzzled Ying Baiye for eight years. Today, he finally gave a clear answer.
"Huh~"
Ying Baiye breathed out, with a sunny smile on his face.
"I know Aunt Jing that nothing will happen to you, that's the best news."
"So, you two little guys don't have to worry about me."
Qing Yanjing touched the heads of Lingxi and Ying Baiye respectively with both hands. "When everything is settled, if Futu Xuan is still stubborn and unconvinced, then Aunt Jing will naturally have Aunt Jing's methods."
Although she reached an agreement and was imprisoned voluntarily, this did not prevent her from doing other things.
If that old guy Futu Xuan still dares to persist in this matter, then Qing Yanjing will dare to overthrow the entire ancient Futu clan.
Futu Xuan can no longer sit in the position of great elder.
"Oops." Qing Yanjing looked at her body that was almost disappearing, turned around quickly, and waved to Muchen and Luo Li.
"Come here you two."
When Muchen and Luo Li saw this scene, they quickly flew over and landed next to Ying Baiye and Lingxi.
"mother."
Muchen shouted, and he saw that Qing Yanjing's body was on the verge of collapse.
"This spirit body can't hold on any longer. It's time for me to say goodbye to you."
Qing Yanjing looked at the four children with a smile.
"Wait for me, mother, we will be reunited one day."
Muchen nodded, his eyes a little red: "I will bring mother back one day."
Qing Yanjing smiled slightly, her smile still so gentle.
The next moment, her body suddenly turned into a ball of spiritual fragments and dissipated in place.
Muchen lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly. Luo Li watched him caressing the back of his hand, trying to ease his current sadness.
Lingxi glanced at Ying Baiye, and Ying Baiye nodded, then she raised her hand to construct a teleportation formation back to Beicang Spiritual Academy.
The spiritual formation at his feet was quickly constructed.
The next moment, the figures of the four people disappeared.
In the distance, a white cat watched the four people disappear from her sight and opened its mouth in disbelief.
I just feel like, have I been forgotten by a certain couple?
She began to doubt again whether following Ying Baiye was the right choice...
…
In the dark space, Qing Yanjing opened her closed eyes, and her beautiful eyes looked towards the direction of Beicang Continent with longing.
As long as everything is fine with you, that's her biggest motivation to stay here.
It was really an unexpected surprise for her to be able to see them when they grew up.
With such surprise, she closed her beautiful eyes and continued the work at hand.
The ancient Buddha Clan's clan-protecting formation has opened the door to her control.
