Watching the Fall of Immortals

I’m a college student, and I got lost. Everyone here calls me Young Master Ji and advises me to accept my misfortune and move on.

Before I could even react, the daughter of the county magistr...

Chapter 377 Have you ever tried to control the Book of Heaven?

Chapter 377 Have you ever tried to control the Book of Heaven?

The Dao of Heaven is infinitely mysterious, and Qingyun cultivators often describe it as having three thousand great Daos, so there are naturally many items that can be discussed.

The discussion continued for the next two days.

Yan Shuyi and Ji You would come to the scene from time to time, and just like the day before, they had very little communication, only occasionally looking at each other.

Sometimes it was Ji You who initiated the eye contact, and Yan Shuyi would look back at him coldly.

As a young woman, it is not easy for her to control the entire Lingjian Mountain alone. She does need a certain degree of majesty that is not in line with her age. Only by using a transcendent attitude to make the mountain submit can Lingjian Mountain be stable.

However, they often left together and left their trysts without saying a word.

This led to some people gradually stopping paying attention to the discussion and instead consciously paying attention to the actions of the two people.

Some people saw them walking side by side on the Xinye Bridge in the north city, feeding the fish for a long time, while others saw them going to the West Market Teahouse and sitting for a long time.

One of them was dressed in white, and the other was graceful and noble. If you ignore their identities, they were really a perfect match.

"The market is over."

"Then go back. Remember, you are my lover, so let me go in front."

On a sunny afternoon, Yan Shuyi and Ji You were strolling in the West Market.

As they walked around, the two gradually reached the end of the market, then turned around and walked back, one in front and the other behind.

Ji You walked slowly behind Xiao Jianzhu. When he turned around, he looked at the gazes coming from the street next door, and then at Yan Shuyi's expression of pretending to be calm.

She thought to herself that although she was afraid that her relationship with Yu Shanzhong would damage Yu Shanzhong's dignity, she really wanted others to see that she had a lover, otherwise she wouldn't have been walking around in public all the time.

Shengjing City is full of immortal cultivators. Who would have thought that the little master of the Imperial Academy has such a childish and cute mentality?

At this time, Yan Shu also walked with his head held high and steps slowly, as if he was not close to his husband.

But as she walked, she suddenly stopped.

"There are tiger-head shoes..."

"Hmm, it looks good..."

The beautiful phoenix eyes were looking at a stall full of handicrafts, among which was a pair of tiger-head shoes with bells tied at the ankles with red ropes. She was eager to try them out.

Ever since she decided to give Ji You a child under the pretext of "reproducing offspring is a big deal", she has liked this kind of thing.

I secretly bought a lot of it when I went to the market with Ji You during the New Year. I couldn't help but want to buy it as soon as I saw it.

However, she knew that she couldn't buy it when everyone was watching, otherwise people would know that she had always wanted to give Ji You a baby, which would not be good for her image.

Moreover, she didn't want the disciples of Xiaoxiaotian Academy to know that she really wanted to have a child with him.

Looking at the shoes so close to him, Yan Shuyi felt a little unwilling, but still turned around and left.

After watching the two disappear on the long street, the gazes in the tavern and teahouse were quickly withdrawn, and replaced by discussions.

"The young master is truly majestic. Even when strolling around, he never looks around. Ji You only dares to follow behind, not even daring to breathe!"

"Yes, it seems that this private relationship is not so easy to have. I am afraid that I have to humble myself and be humble."

"Isn't this just clinging to power? All sons-in-law since ancient times have been like this!"

"Heh, he said he looked down on the Immortal Sect and was self-righteous, but it turns out he's just too ambitious. His usual fearlessness of power and wealth has finally been exposed in front of Little Master Jian."

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were also in the teahouse because the owner of the inspection didn't allow them to follow.

But when they heard the discussions in the teahouse, they couldn't help but click their tongues, thinking that this was acting, do you understand acting?

What you see is what the judge wants you to see.

How would you know that my mistress wants to cry as soon as she closes the door, without even realizing it, and she calls her husband "husband" all day long because of the young master coming in and out, and she wishes she could stay in his arms all day long.

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were chirping in secret when they saw a peddler wearing the uniform of the Wuliu trading company hurried over to the city, bought a pair of tiger-head shoes in front of a stall, and then hurried away.

At this time, Yan Shuyi and Ji You strolled around the city for a long time, and then entered Wuliu Trading Company from the back alley in the bright sunlight.

"It's almost time. No matter how things progress with Zuo Qiuyang, I'm going to go to Danzong anyway, so I've invited Cao Jinsong, Kuang Cheng, and the others to dinner. What do you want to eat?"

"Spicy and sour shredded potatoes and clay pot chicken."

Yan Shu also spoke softly and answered coldly.

Seeing this, Ji You looked at her and thought to himself, who knew that the little master of Lingjian Mountain was so easy to raise.

At this moment, Yan Shuyi's eyes were suddenly attracted by a pair of tiger-head shoes on the cabinet. When she realized that they were the shoes she had looked at twice at the market, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly.

You bastard, you observe very carefully.

Ji You also came over at this time, looked at the tiger-head shoes and said, "I thought they looked pretty good while shopping, and it would be nice to have them as a backup, so I sent someone to buy them back."

"It's just average."

"Are you talking about how tough you are?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Yan Shuyi walked towards the room while speaking, unfastening his belt beside the bed.

The luxurious robe of the Master of Justice gently slipped off his shoulders, and a touch of snow-white skin with ravines appeared under the cover of the bellyband, looking round and smooth.

Then she took out a woman's dress, put it on, and walked out of the room again.

When she came out again, she saw a waiter hurriedly leaving the yard.

At the same time, Ji You had an extra message in his hand.

"Who is delivering the letter at this time?"

"Zuo Qiuyang, the conditions I proposed to him should have been met. He asked me to go to Tianshuyuan to meet him today."

After Ji You folded the letter, he suddenly remembered something: "I've been focusing on that luck for the past few days, and I forgot to ask you, have you found Master Chen's whereabouts?"

Yan Shuyi shook his head upon hearing this. "If a person who has ascended to the Immortal Realm does not show up on his own initiative, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find him. I have sent people from all over the mountains to keep an eye on this matter, but there has been no news so far."

"What is this old man planning with all his effort?"

"Didn't you check what he left behind in his old home in Yuyang County?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji You suddenly raised his eyes.

He did look up Master Chen's old belongings and read a lot of passionate and easy-to-understand articles, but he got very little information.

But at this point, Ji You suddenly remembered that he had a question he had always wanted to ask. He looked up at his proud ghost and said, "I have something to ask you about the origin of the holy weapon."

Yan Shuyi's shaking feet suddenly stopped: "The origin of the holy weapon?"

"Wei Rui found a spirit stone containing the original power among Master Chen's old belongings. I reached out to take it, but before I even touched it, the original power entered my body. This made me a little confused."

Hearing this, Yan Shuyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed between his handsome eyebrows.

This expression is rare on the face of the arrogant little judge, making her look a little cute.

The reason why she showed such an expression was because the origin of the holy artifact would exclude everyone except the holder and their permitted successor.

Moreover, the holy weapon was bound to the blood of the ancient sage thousands of years ago. Unless the holder of the weapon dies, no outsider will be accepted by the origin without his permission.

But she didn't expect that Ji You could transform the essence into his body, which made her full of confusion.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Jianzhu raised his head and asked: "Have you ever tried to control the Heavenly Book of the Heavenly Academy?"

Ji You raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this: "Do you think I can control the Heavenly Book?"

"Why do you think it's not okay?"

"Isn't it true that only direct descendants can possess a holy artifact after a lengthy process of mastery? Furthermore, it requires the permission of the previous generation of holy artifact holders?"

Yan Shuyi looked at him. "The fact that the origin doesn't reject you is the biggest foundation. And you told me before that the Heavenly Academy once had a lineage of night watchmen that has been passed down through the generations. I've been wondering, if the demon in the story is really that powerful, what on earth does he rely on to keep watch?"

Ji You couldn't help but raise his eyes: "Do you think that besides the headmaster of the Heavenly Book Academy, the Night Watchman can also be in charge of the Heavenly Book?"

"If that's the case, some things can be explained. And you should know that we are the only two people who can enter the Void Mountain. This is very strange in itself, so you should go and try."

"How do I try?"

"Find a high place and sense it."

"Just like practicing Taoism?"

"No, it's not about cultivating the Dao, it's about calling it to you. The sacred artifact comes from the Dao of Heaven, and its attitude is very arrogant. You need to have the heart to make it submit, and then it will respond to you."

Ji You pursed his lips and said, "After all, it gave me a wife. Is it not good to be so harsh on it?"

Disciples of the small Tianshu Academy are not allowed to be rude, and Yan Shuyi's eyes were instantly frightened.

She knew that the wife the strange man was talking about was herself, because the two of them were connected through the induction of the holy artifact.

Ji You pinched her cheek and then restrained his smile: "The Heavenly Book is the foundation of the Heavenly Academy and the greatest deterrent in the world. If there is any unusual movement due to me, there may be trouble."

"But the timing is perfect now, because everyone knows I'm in Shengjing, and they all know I won't allow anything to happen to you. Even if someone in the Heavenly Academy becomes suspicious, I won't force you to do anything. The most I can do is expel you from the Heavenly Academy."

"Then what?"

Yan Shuyi showed a cold and arrogant expression: "Then you will go to Lingjian Mountain, and I will let you be my personal disciple."

Ji You looked at her and thought, "Are you asking me to be your personal disciple? Are you asking me to be a traitor to my master?"

"But no matter what the result is, don't reveal it to anyone else after you try it. As you said, the sacred weapon is the greatest deterrent in this world. So much so that every year when the power of the immortal sect changes, there will be bloody incidents that are not allowed to be recorded in the history books. We just need to keep it to ourselves and we can talk about it later."

The Night Watchman can also hold the Heavenly Book. Although this speculation is bizarre, as Yan Shuyi said, it is also somewhat logical.

But this matter is of great importance, so it will naturally make people feel a little confused.

So Ji You, who was thinking, couldn't help but reach out and hold the little Master Jian in his arms, his eyes gradually became deep.

Play with the wielder of the holy weapon first to calm your nerves.

Yan Shuyi just sat quietly in his arms, looking somewhat obedient while her husband was thinking.

At this time, the wine shops and tea houses were still crowded with people, but their attention had shifted from the West Market to the Wuliu Company.

Because many people saw the Young Master of Lingjian Mountain go in with Ji You, but they didn't know when they would come out.

In their opinion, Ji You must have done something that displeased the owner while shopping just now, and was now being severely criticized.

This kind of staring continued until three quarters past noon, when everyone noticed that Ji You pushed the door open and walked out, then walked across the long street and headed towards Mount Ni.

Zuo Qiuyang was waiting for him outside the hall. Seeing him coming up the mountain, he turned around and invited him into the hall.

"Palace Master Zuoqiu invited me here. Is this a response to the conditions I proposed?"

"Of course, our Tianshu Academy agrees to your request, but the other three immortal sects only agreed to half of it."

Zuo Qiuyang handed Ji You a post, but it was not the one Ji You gave him.

After Ji You took it and took a look, he found that this one was newly written. The preface and postscript were copied from the one he drafted, but many of the clauses in the middle were changed.

After slowly reading it, Ji You couldn't help but frown: "This is still a strong restriction for Danzong."

Zuo Qiuyang heard the voice and said, "Given the dispositions of Shanhai Pavilion, Daodao Sect, and the Chen Immortal Clan, it's already rare that they can agree to this extent. If it weren't for the profound connection between the human race's destiny, they wouldn't even agree to this. My suggestion is to agree to it first and discuss other matters later."

"There may not be such an opportunity in the future. I can't agree to it."

"Don't think I don't know, kid. When you said you were going to tear down the house, you were actually just planning to open a window. And you know in your heart that they can only agree to this. If they ask for a higher price, they have to allow others to pay back on the spot."

Zuo Qiuyang poured him a cup of tea and said, "You should know that even so, Danzong will be grateful to you."

Ji You knew that these old men with profound cultivation were not so easy to deceive, so he stuffed the note into his arms and said, "I will set off as soon as possible, but I still need the cooperation of Palace Master Zuoqiu to have the Immortal Sect send some disciples to accompany me."

"This matter is of great importance, and the Dan Sect is also angry. Your request is not excessive, but how will the candidate be decided?"

"You can beat me if you can't."

Danzong had just been attacked by the five major immortal sects because of the immortal relics.

Now that there is a problem in the Holy Land of the Sages and we need to ask someone to come out, we can't just send Ji You to talk and talk.

You must know that people live by their breath and trees live by their bark. Even if the luck is shattered and leaked, which will bring disaster to the whole clan, for the sake of dignity and hatred, Danzong will still refuse to agree.

The worst that could happen is that we can die together. In this rotten world, if we can't even keep our home, what's the point of living?

Therefore, all the immortal sects that went to Danshan to commit crimes on that day need to show weakness and make sufficient apologies.

Of course, if someone with too high a cultivation level goes there, it will inevitably cause a stress response from the Dan Sect, so they will definitely not be able to defeat Ji You.

Only in this way would Danzong be willing to see them.

If you can't beat Ji You, then this is a good choice.

Zuo Qiuyang turned his head and looked at where he had hidden the note. "I'll take care of the selection. Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion has been closed due to the garrisons of the Barbarian and Demon tribes at the border. Just take this as his tacit agreement. The only thing missing is the promise of the Little Master of Lingjian Mountain. Does she agree?"

What gossip! Ji You couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Now everyone in the city thinks that the relationship between the two of them is one in which the woman is superior to the man. Zuo Qiuyang is indirectly asking whether the young master of Lingjian Mountain listens to him.

However, when it comes to the family throne, Ji You is naturally impeccable.

After agreeing on the follow-up matters with Zuo Qiuyang, Ji You left Zizai Palace and then strolled down the mountain.

With the arrival of spring, new buds have sprouted on the old trees on Mount Ni, giving the impression of being full of green. Coupled with the bright sunshine today, the vitality is visible to the naked eye.

Ji You turned his head and looked to the west, his eyes falling on the Heavenly Book Peak.

Go to a higher place and call it to come, with the intention of making it submit.

After thinking for a long time, he turned and headed towards Tianshu Peak.

The intersection of the five peaks is the Purple Bamboo Zen Temple, the Qingfeng Lecture Hall and the Yunwu Cliff.

He Lingxiu, Shi Junhao, Chai Ze, Yu Shiliu and others did not attend the Taoist discussion meeting again, but were planning to practice in the Purple Bamboo Zen Temple.

Seeing Ji You coming towards them, several people couldn't help but stop and bowed slowly while looking at each other.

"Junior Brother Ji just came from Zizai Palace?"

"I have something to discuss with Palace Master Zuoqiu. I just came down the mountain. Since I haven't stayed in the inner courtyard for a long time, I decided to take a stroll here."

Shi Junhao couldn't help but bow after hearing this. "As cultivators, the younger generation like us have long admired the young Master Jian. The relationship between Xiantian Academy and Lingjian Mountain has been quite tense, and it has been inconvenient for us to meet with you. I wonder if you could invite the young Master Jian to join us at the table this time."

Master Xiaojian of Lingjian Mountain is the next headmaster. Holding the sacred weapon, he will surely be the one who holds power in the world in the future.

In the past, they would not have been able to find a way to meet the emperor, but after what happened with Sang He at the Lundao Conference, more and more people began to have feelings for Ji You.

In fact, the He family, the Zuoqiu family, the You family and others also had this idea.

"She doesn't like crowds like this. She'll get irritated and her temper will falter. She might even end up making things worse. Let's wait for the right opportunity in the future."

"Then we'll talk about it later when we have the chance. We'll be waiting for you, Master Jian, to come at any time..."

Ji You nodded, saluted them with a fist, and made a gesture to leave.

He Lingxiu knew that he had an affair with Xiao Jianzhu earlier, and her mood had calmed down a little. She bowed and said goodbye to him with an impeccable and elegant gesture.

But as he watched him go away, he still felt a slight regret in his heart.

But she didn't know whether the regret was because she failed to make friends with Ji You, or because the choice of Xiao Jianzhu made her feel that her original choice based on family background seemed particularly meaningless.

However, if she had the chance again, she felt that she might still make the same choice. After all, she would not be as willful as the young master of Lingjian Mountain, who could choose a Taoist partner at will without any scruples or considerations about family.

But then again, Xiao Jianzhu's choice may not necessarily bring good rewards to herself. After all, the relationship between the three southern sects is extremely complicated, and losing in-laws who can help her will have a huge impact.

This is also a kind of comfort to her.

"Hey, why is he heading north?" Gu Zetao's voice suddenly sounded.

"Didn't you say you haven't stayed in the courtyard for a long time and wanted to take a walk around?"

"But the inner courtyard immortal residence is on the south side, and there's nothing on the north side. What's the point of turning around?"

At this time, Ji You had already walked into the depths and climbed up the Tianshu Peak when there was no one around.

He had come here once after entering the inner courtyard that year, but saw no one, so he hurried down the mountain.

But later he heard that not everyone could go there. Apart from the five hall masters, only those who were allowed by the headmaster could climb the mountain.

Back then, he had wondered why he could go there despite the ban, and as the affairs of the Night Watch came to light, he gradually had some vague answers.

And he came here today to verify another answer.

Ji You walked up the mountain, looking at the familiar mountain scenery, and passed by the chessboard under the tree.

It has been so long, and the chessboard still hasn't been put away. Fortunately, it was only seen by a gangster with high morals, otherwise it would have been gone long ago.

Whispering to himself, Ji You finally arrived at the pure white Heavenly Book Hall.

Just like the last time I came, the door of the Heavenly Book Hall was wide open, as if they had no habit of closing it at all.

But this is not surprising. After all, if Tianshu Peak really has restrictions, then closing the door is unnecessary.

He looked up at the door for a long time, then stepped into the empty hall. Looking around, he saw intricate murals and the glazed dome with skylight shining through it, which was exactly the same as the last time he came.

This is already the highest point in the Heavenly Book Academy and is also the holy place of the entire academy. He doesn't know where the Heavenly Book itself is, but he thinks it won't be too far from here.

Ji You stood still for a moment, then stretched out his hand. As golden light surged in his eyes, the spiritual energy in the hall began to flow.

The flow of gas drove the wind, passing through the halls and rooms, so that the whistling sound kept ringing in his ears.

If others saw this, they would definitely think that this was just an ordinary technique of sensing the world, just like the communication between heaven and man when practicing Taoism, or the control of divine thoughts when using magical instruments, and there was nothing surprising about it.

However, it didn't take long before something strange happened.

Suddenly, there was a loud buzzing sound in the huge Heavenly Book Hall, and a fairy light whistled down, jumping and leaping in the entire Heavenly Book Hall.

And amidst the flowing light, a book shimmering with golden light appeared on the glazed dome.

Heavenly Book...

Seeing this scene, Ji You's eyes suddenly narrowed. Feeling the closeness revealed by the book, his outstretched fingertips could not help but tremble slightly.

At this moment, all the fairy light released by the book came whistling, like a suddenly unfolded blade of grass, curling around his fingertips, as if trying to pull him closer.

But this force was very gentle, not forced, but more like a test.

At the same time, inside the Zizhu Zen Temple.

The people who were trying to comprehend the Heavenly Book suddenly sensed an unusual aura. At the same time, the spiritual light sensed by the Heavenly Book began to roar continuously, far more magnificent than before, stirring up the clouds and making their eyes widen slightly.

At the same time, several inner court disciples who were sensing the Heavenly Book were awakened by the strong aura, with a trace of confusion in their eyes.

"What happened?"

"The Heavenly Book seems to have been awakened."

"Isn't Master You in seclusion? How could this happen?"
