Hidden Beauty
Xie Fengxue was sitting in a rocking chair with a book covering his face. The sunlight was warm and his posture was leisurely, not like a prisoner.
The voice came from under the scroll.
"Sheshan today has long since become a ruin recorded in history books,"
As warm as ever.
Changxia asked: "How was Sheshan destroyed?"
They sat side by side, relaxed and unhurried, as if they had briefly returned to the time when they were fellow apprentice brothers and sisters at Cangfeng Mountain.
Xie Fengxue said: "Who knows."
Changxia curled the corners of his mouth.
Xie Fengxue added, "I went to the Immortal Realm and worked so hard just to do this. Now that you've locked me up, I can't find out anything. Why don't you just let me go now? When I find out, I'll tell you."
Chang Xia: "Dream on."
Her attainments in formations were not as good as Xie Fengxue's, so she chose to use absolute strength.
The sword energy on the top of Cangfeng Mountain was reinforced by her again and again. Now, she is the only one who can enter and exit freely in heaven and on earth.
Xie Fengxue laughed at her for having a mistress in her golden house.
Just hide it, it’s no big deal to hide Xie Fengxue.
Then again, if she can trap her senior brother with a little effort, can't her senior brother also use a little effort to trap her in return?
People are now taking it easy, but it's just a matter of willingness.
But what she wants is for someone to take the bait willingly.
When it comes to their views on each other, they are surprisingly unanimous - it is better to keep such a troublesome person under their own supervision.
Just as he was joking with Xie Fengxue, there was suddenly a movement outside the sword energy.
Changxia pinched his eyebrows helplessly.
There were many people who came to see Changxia, some to test the waters, some to curry favor with him, and some to please him, but Changxia was too lazy to pay any attention to them.
But this one outside doesn't work.
Chu Xian poked his head outside and asked, "Senior Sister, is Lingyao coming to dinner today?"
Changxia replied: "No."
He said "Oh" softly, with no expression of disappointment or anything else on his face, and turned and left.
Chu Xian was the most mature among the children. He was only eight or nine years old when he came, but he was able to manage everything in an orderly manner.
Washing clothes, cooking, practicing magic every day, even Li Bai had times when he was lazy, but Chu Xian never stopped practicing sword regardless of rain or shine, and he enjoyed it.
He was like a person trapped in a box, doing the planned things step by step every day. Others could not get in, and he could not get out either.
People who mature early will mature late.
This child is quiet and taciturn. When he is bullied, he just wants to avoid causing trouble for his senior brothers and sisters - what he doesn't know is that his senior brothers and sisters are the most troublesome people in the world.
Chang Xia spent a lot of effort to make him believe that his senior brothers and sisters would really support him unconditionally in anything. This child seemed to be born not to trust others, but once he decided to give his trust, it would be 100% and he would not tolerate even the slightest falsehood.
So how should he explain to him now? The junior sister he saw every day, the girl he had a crush on, had gone on a long journey on a sunny day for the sake of her senior sister who didn't treat her with much affection, and might never come back.
Chang Xia sneered and turned to look at Xie Fengxue: "Senior Brother, look, this is the beautiful world where everyone loves me."
Xie Fengxue turned the book and asked, "Do you like this beautiful world where everyone loves you?"
Chang Xia said firmly: "I don't like it."
Xie Fengxue's fingertips suddenly stopped turning the book, and he held the scroll in his hand. He turned his head, looked at Changxia, and smiled meaningfully: "But I like it very much."
Compared to watching Changxia die over and over again, he really loves this new world where everyone dies for Changxia.
He lay back in the rocking chair, his face covered by the old book in his hand, his crazy thoughts buried in the stale and decayed smell of the paper.
Xie Fengxue closed his eyes, but saw him reincarnate again and again.
When he was young, he and Changxia went to Xiaoling Mountain with their master as guests. The Zen master talked about Buddhist verses with them. The Zen master praised Changxia for being rare in understanding and rare in confusion, but said that he had committed the three poisons.
He is plagued by the three evil karmas of greed, anger and ignorance, without missing a single one.
The Zen master advised him to be clear-minded and calm his mind, to break the delusion and seek the truth, so as to practice Mahayana.
Xie Fengxue said at that time that if there was anything in the world that made him angry and foolish, he would definitely do it even at the cost of his life. For him, anger and foolishness naturally became Mahayana.
He didn't know why Changxia died every time time went back in time, and he didn't know why the so-called "Heaven's Law" always gave the girl he loved the most tragic ending.
But ah——
The Green-robed Sword Immortal's vision was filled with nothingness.
He seemed to be trapped in endless darkness, but he did not struggle.
But, if sacrificing Changxia alone can bring peace to the universe, then why can't he do the opposite and sacrifice the entire universe so that only she can survive?
By then, Changxia would no longer be so nervous about bearing the love of so many people. By then, he would be the only one who loved her.
——
Song Jia was dressed in black, hiding his figure in the night.
Shen Siyan glanced at him and whistled, "Wow, you even dyed your hair black!"
Song Jia: "I remember the first time you saw me, my hair had turned black."
The long sword spun deftly in his hand and then landed on the neck of the person opposite him.
"You are not Shen Siyan."
The person opposite raised his hand. Not afraid at all, he smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous."
The lines on his face seemed to have changed slightly, and he looked like another demon.
A stupid look
Song Jia put down his sword directly.
"You went on a long journey today without that Deerhorn monster."
Subtext: You left home without your brain today
Bai He replied seriously: "Our main task today is to escape, so it's inconvenient to bring him along."
The White Feather Phoenix clan is the fastest among all of Chi Zhouhai. Chen Siyan originally wanted to let Jiang Bailu come, but seeing how he acted like a young wife following behind Tinglan, he gave up the idea.
He couldn't guarantee that after he told Jiang Bailu about his plan today, that guy would sell him out tomorrow.
As for Bai He, he is a little stupid and easily tricked, but the demons who can trick him will not care about the life and death of humans.
Song Jia took a deep breath and repeatedly reminded himself, this is a mount, this is a mount.
Bai He changed back into the appearance of Shen Siyan. It should be the secret technique of the demon clan. Anyway, his attainments in illusion cannot be seen just by looking at it.
He had no idea what Chen Siyan was doing, but it must be something shameful, otherwise he would not have been able to think of a way to let Bai He replace him.
Since Shen Siyan didn't say to terminate the plan, he would continue to carry it out.
Morning Star Mountain has always been the best place in Yunting to watch the stars. There are countless stars in the sky. Among these stars, there are lights belonging to other great worlds, as well as the Taoist traditions of the gods in the sky, and the phantom of fate given by the way of heaven. This is what the fortune teller looks at when he predicts fate.
What Shen Siyan asked him to do was very simple - destroy the star map.
Then the crazy people in Morningstar Mountain will probably get even crazier.
That's why he needed the White-Feathered Phoenix to take him away.
Chen Siyan still felt that the most humane approach to a group of crazy people who were fanatical in their beliefs and committed evil was to destroy them, but Changxia obviously didn't want to do that, so he chose to think in reverse - destroy their beliefs.
He and Ji Sheng stood side by side at the bow of the ghost ship, looking at the seemingly eternal star map, and then couldn't help but glance at the last Human Emperor next to him.
This time it was not entirely to resolve the issue of Morning Star Mountain, but also to verify this person's conjecture.
Where is the eye of heaven?
At present, he and Ji Sheng have become "close friends" who can talk about some secrets.
"So that's why you started to doubt Morningstar Mountain."
Ji Sheng smiled. Perhaps the extravagant life of fighting crickets and gambling dice over the past decade had left too deep an impression on him. When the Human Emperor was not deliberately displaying his majesty, he was actually bright and friendly. He had a shy air that seemed to be deliberately pretending to be well-behaved, but his dark eyes seemed to be filled with bad ideas.
"I have also merged my body with the dragon vein."
Shen Siyan: Hmm
Ji Sheng said calmly: "Don't be so surprised. I am one of the most powerful emperors in Cang Xuan's 90,000-year history. Naturally, I can do whatever I want."
He raised his head, and there was nothing in his black pupils. The heaven and earth could not see him, so naturally there was no heaven and earth in his eyes.
“And then I failed.”
“I began to doubt it.”
Shen Siyan: Ah
“That’s when I started to doubt it.”
"Why not?" Ji Sheng said as a matter of course, "I am also of the Ji family bloodline. Logically speaking, I have everything that Zuo Shi has. I also have the luck of becoming a Human Emperor that he doesn't have. Even after my 'death', I tried once with my soul. I should be more favored by heaven and earth than he is, but I failed. This makes me doubt that Ji Zuo four thousand years ago must have had some special qualities that I don't possess."
"Then I made a deal with Xie Fengxue and asked him to help me find out what the so-called dragon veins are."
"Then he told me that it was the embodiment of the will of the people. That's when I began to wonder, what could better represent the will of the people than this Four Realms Human Emperor?"
"Is it the prince who has not yet ascended the throne? Obviously not. His death was not even that worthwhile—if you don't look at his later performance as a swordsman."
He looked up at the sky.
"I am the Human Emperor of the Four Realms. I am blessed by nature and I am richer than anyone else in the world. But above me, there is only one."
That is heaven.
Ji Sheng's smile deepened, without any cunning in it. His eyebrows curved and he acted strangely and cleverly.
"Then Xie Fengxue and I began investigating the so-called 'divine power, destroyed by this man,' but that story dates back over 10,000 years."
Shen Siyan asked: "Have you found out?"
Ji Sheng replied: "That's natural."
——
"Feng Ruoshui is naturally the proudest phoenix. Hua Chonglou, it must be a flower. My name is 'Xi Ke', so it must be a lotus seed pod. And as for you, Jiang Zhong, your brother is from the Mingyue Palace. I will give you a sun. No matter what others say, here, you are the most dazzling!"
Jiang Zhong: "You don't have to remind me what people outside are saying."
He picked up the two rings and put the Phoenix one on Feng Ruoshui's hand like offering a treasure.
"They're both son-in-laws, but I think being Feng Ruoshui's is better than being the empress!"
Feng Ruoshui: How can I be compared with Her Majesty the Queen?
Hua Chonglou stood aside, watching them laughing and making noise. He waited until the noise died down before he leisurely picked up one of the remaining two. Then, he casually swiped his fingertips twice, and an emerald lotus pod began to spread and grow along the ring. The green that covered the sky instantly enveloped the entire space. The emerald green was so bright that it seemed to be dripping. The other three people were not surprised at all. This man's creation technique had already reached perfection.
Then he turned his hand over and clenched it, and when he opened his palm again, the ring returned to its original shape.
Hua Chonglou threw it to Xu Xike and said, "Keep it, it can save your life."
