Zhangsun Zijun and Yi Xichen are the protagonists of the novel 《The Chronicles of the Nine Thousand Worlds Vicissitudes》. One was solid and reserved; the other was free-spirited and uninhibited...
The two men flew away from Chimei Town with their swords, leaving Xiao Kui, Lu Ziyao and others far behind.
The eldest grandson, Jun, asked, "Where are we going?"
Yi Xichen said, "Tianjian Sect, look for Feiji." He paused and said, "Or, we should call him Little Ancestor Fenglian."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, was surprised: "He is the young ancestor?!"
Yi Xichen remained silent.
Yi Xichen had doubted Feiji's identity since he was sure that Feiji was the man in red who helped him in the Void Realm. Even if a beast was born with spirits, it was extremely rare for it to transform into a human form in just a few months. Moreover, Feiji was an adult man when he first transformed, not a child. This could only mean that he was not a newborn bird from the beginning.
Was it rebirth from Nirvana? Or was it the reincarnation from the infancy? In short, he was definitely not an ordinary newborn spirit beast.
The most suspicious thing is that Fei Ji knows Xiao Lijun.
In the Void, although Yi Xichen was in a state of confusion due to the demon in his heart, he vaguely heard Fei Ji calling Xiao Lijun's name and talking to him for a few words. If what happened at that time was his illusion, it would be even more suspicious that Fei Ji knew about the Formless Heavenly Demon - and the little ancestor of Fenglian had fought against the Formless Heavenly Demon five hundred years ago!
But until then, Yi Xichen just thought that Fei Ji was just an unknown master, and never dared to connect this little gray bird with the world-famous Fenglian ancestor. It was not until he met Wei Changyun in the ghost world that he came up with this guess.
Even though Wei Changyun was already dead, there must be a reason why he thought he was Little Ancestor Fenglian. He should not look like Little Ancestor Fenglian. Several elders in Tianjian Sect had seen Little Ancestor Fenglian, but they had never heard of anyone he looked like. It must be something on him or around him that made Wei Changyun feel Little Ancestor Fenglian's aura, so he mistook him for Little Ancestor.
Was it Fei Ji, or the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl in his body? Or was it both?
Yi Xichen clenched his fists.
If Fei Ji is really the ancestor of Fenglian, then all the questions that have puzzled him for a long time will be answered.
The first question is what is in the back mountain of Tianjian Mountain. The back mountain has been listed as a forbidden area of Tianjian Sect for many years, and no one is allowed to enter. There are rumors that there are masters practicing there. What kind of masters have not been seen for a hundred years and are not known to people? The most likely person is the disappeared Fenglian Patriarch, and he must have been injured, so he did not show up.
Another thing that Yi Xichen couldn't understand was the attitude of Jade Ying towards him. He had been in Tianjian Sect for more than ten years, but Jade Ying had never treated him favorably - of course, Jade Ying had never treated anyone favorably, and he didn't care about his disciples at all. However, before they left Tianjian Sect, Jade Ying seemed to have changed into a different person, and wanted to accept him as a disciple and help him to refine his body and release the seal.
Yi Xichen said: "I never understood why the master wanted to help me unseal it, until Yuan Chendu said that if the magic weapon in my body was not unsealed, others would not be able to use it. At that time, I remembered this matter again, but I had no other evidence..."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, understood. After all, they were disciples of the Tianjian Sect. Although they had no relationship with Jade Ying Zhenren, the leader's majesty was always there. Without sufficient evidence, it was difficult for them to believe that Jade Ying Zhenren was a bad person.
Yi Xichen said, "The Sect Master has always wanted to keep me, but he wants to separate you from me. It seems that he favors me, but if his goal is the fire bead, then what he did makes sense. But if it is really as I expected, I think the Sect Master probably knew about the fire bead not long before we left Tianjian Sect. Otherwise, I have been in Tianjian Sect for so many years, wouldn't he have taken action earlier? At that time, you were not so powerful yet, and it would have been much easier for him to succeed."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, nodded and agreed with him: "Master also knows that."
Speaking of the fact that the medicine is not poisonous, Yi Xichen's expression darkened: "Yes, I think Master knew it earlier. Maybe... he knew it when he brought me back to Tianjianmen."
Before the sword competition, when the candidates for each pavilion were decided, Yi Xichen was seduced by his eldest grandson Zijun in order to compete with Wang Qingqiao. At that time, it was revealed that he was not a fake spiritual root, and Yao Budu was angry about it. It was anger rather than shock, which was enough to show that Yao Budu had known that Yi Xichen was not a fake spiritual root, so he should have known the existence of the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl. And that seizing the initiative exposed the fact that Yi Xichen was not a fake spiritual root, which might have let Yuying Zhenren, who was originally unaware, know about it, or let Fenglian Xiaozu know that the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl was in his body, so Yuying Zhenren suddenly changed his attitude towards him.
Another thing that bothered Yi Xichen was that he saw Yao Budu coming back injured from Tongtou Spring. At that time, Yao Budu said that he had gone out of the mountain, so Yi Xichen did not doubt it and always thought that the person who hurt Yao Budu was someone outside Tianjian Mountain. But when the skyfire descended, whether it was Xiao Lijun or Long Ruijun, if they broke into Tianjian Sect and led the skyfire to kill people, how could hundreds of disciples and elders of Tianjian Sect not notice it? ! What's more, Yao Budu would never leave Tianjian Mountain easily!
Perhaps Yao Budulian knew who the murderer of Yi Xichen's parents was, or perhaps he didn't know it so clearly, but he had a suspicion in his heart, so he secretly investigated, and was discovered by the murderer, so he killed him to silence him. And this murderer is most likely someone from the Tianjian Sect!
If this is the case, all the questions are solved! Why was the murderer able to sneak into the Tianjian Sect and kill people without anyone noticing? What kind of murderer was it that made Yao Budu not dare to tell them anything before he found out the truth? Who instructed Master Yuying to change his attitude suddenly? Why did Fei Ji have to follow him? Why did the murderer use heavenly fire to kill people?
Because the young ancestor of Fenglian was injured and his magic power had not recovered, he used the Heavenly Fire to kill Yi Xichen's parents twenty years ago! Yao Budu tracked down his affairs, and he saw his eldest grandson Jun using the Heavenly Fire. He wanted to kill him to silence him and drive his eldest grandson Jun away from Yi Xichen, so he summoned the Heavenly Fire to kill Yao Budu again!
His injuries must have been serious, so serious that people speculated that he had died. Even Yuan Chendu thought he had died, so he told his eldest grandson Zijun that there was no Fenglian Xiaozu in their names!
This conjecture made the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen feel cold all over.
The eldest grandson Zijun said: "Could it be that he was the one who pushed me down from Tianzhu Mountain?!"
"I'm afraid so!"
At that time, the two fought back to back, blocking all enemies from outside, but someone pushed the eldest grandson Jun from behind. They thought it was the Ghost King, but since the Ghost King has an absolute domain, why would he need such a sneaky method? If it was a little ghost, it would be even more impossible. How could a little ghost have such ability to sneak into their midst without them noticing? If it was Fei Ji who had been lurking among them, then it made sense.
Yi Xichen looked solemn: "If it is really as I expected, the only thing I can't understand is why Xiao Zu did this? What is the use of the bead in my body?"
The eldest grandson Zijun said, "I know." He had previously heard Xiao Kui talk about the use of the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl, so he told Yi Xichen the truth.
After hearing this, Yi Xichen was still confused: "A container for the soul...what does he want this for?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said: "Just ask him in person and you will know!"
"Ah." If everything is really as expected, if Fenglian Xiaozu is really the murderer who killed Yi Xichen's parents and Yao Budu, no matter what his difficulties are, he will never let him go!
However, after flying not far, Yi Xichen suddenly turned around and fell down.
The eldest grandson Jun followed closely behind.
Yi Xichen took out the Thunder Fruit and many other immortal materials he had obtained, and piled them all in front of his eldest grandson, Jun. "I don't need these anymore, you can use them to refine the sword."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, no longer refused and took all the immortal materials. If Feiji was really the young master of Fenglian, none of them knew how powerful the young master was. Before returning to Tianjian Mountain, they must make all possible preparations.
Yi Xichen looked up at the sky with empty eyes. Tianjian Mountain was thousands of miles away, but none of them had thought that they would have to go back so soon.
The eldest grandson Zijun sat down next to Yi Xichen, touched the back of his neck and hugged his shoulders.
Although everything is still just speculation, this speculation is probably not far from the truth. They have gone through so much trouble to find the murderer who killed their master, but now that they have guessed the true identity of the murderer, they do not feel relieved at all.
Yi Xichen was in a very heavy mood.
The eldest grandson Jun embraced him and pressed his head onto his shoulder.
Yi Xichen raised his eyes and smiled at him, then sighed, "If possible, I really want to cultivate with you until the end of time and then go back."
