Chapter 728: The River of Destiny in the Backflow - Chu Xianping's Request
There are five elders in the Kuilong Elder Council.
Now the token of the elders of the Green Stage is in his hands, the token of the elders of the Black Stage is Chu Xianping, the token of the elders of the Yellow Stage is Lu Hongji, and the token of the elders of the White Stage is Zhuang Zhiming.
Good job.
Chu Xianping had already fooled Zhuang Zhiming to the point of being at a loss, and now he has teamed up with Lu Hongji . What the hell is this?
Holding the Kuilong token in his hand, Wei Changtian looked very ugly.
However, the next moment, Xu Suisui said something that made the situation even worse.
"Now, we can't hold the elders meeting now."
"What??"
Wei Changtian suddenly turned his head: "Why?"
"Because, because the Council of Elders has to change the chief elder every ten years."
Xu Suisui explained softly: "This year it is Elder Huangtai's turn, that is, Lu Hongji's."
In order to prevent one person from dominating the power, Elder Kuilong changes the "rotating chairman" every ten years.
The remnant soul of Xuantian Sword had mentioned this before, so Wei Changtian knew about it.
But he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"So, the person who can convene the elders meeting now is Lu Hongji?"
His gaze froze, Wei Changtian widened his eyes and asked, "Have you held any meetings this year?"
"It opened once about half a month ago, and then there has been no news since then." Xu Suisui answered truthfully.
Half a month ago.
At that time, the two countries of Qianhui should still be in a stalemate with Xinfeng, and will activate the traitors in the Buddhist community in a few days.
And he had already begun to doubt Chu Xianping, and asked Yan Huaiqing to take the initiative to test him. From this point of view, the last elders' meeting was probably the fuse that triggered Chu Xianping's decision to "fly away".
It’s just that Xu Suisui didn’t hear it at that time.
"Okay."
By now, Wei Changtian had gradually calmed down from his recent anger.
He did not accuse Xu Suisui of anything, but just shook his head and asked, "In the book you read, the Moon-Picking Sword should have been obtained by Kui Long in the end, right?"
"yes"
Xu Suisui replied in a low voice: "But now the plot has changed too much, I don't know if these will happen again."
"Don't worry about it, it has probably already happened."
Wei Changtian sighed: "Alas, if I'm not mistaken, the Moon-Picking Sword Manual is in Lu Hongji's hands now."
"Huh? W-why?"
Xu Suisui's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her appearance made Wei Changtian pause.
"In the original plot, was it Lu Hongji who first got the Moon-Stirring Sword Manual?"
"How did you know that?" Xu Suisui opened his mouth in shock.
"It's simple, because in my experience, this damn heavenly way will usually try to correct the changed plot."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "I have experienced too many such situations before."
"As long as the changes are not too big, the plot will often return to the right track inexplicably."
"It seems the same is true for the Moon-picking Sword."
“No matter how different the process is, the result is the same.”
“.”
No matter how different the process is, the result is the same.
This sentence sounded a bit mysterious, but Xu Suisui, who also came to this world through a book, immediately understood what Wei Changtian meant.
It’s actually very simple.
It was just like the first time Wei Changtian set up a trap in the Wei Mansion to ambush Xiao Feng.
According to the original plot of "The Peak of Martial Arts", Xiao Feng would not have had the Qingjue jade pendant.
But just before Xiao Feng went to Wei's Mansion, the "Wheel of Fortune" shifted first, forcing him to add a "drama", which ultimately allowed him to escape.
In the original book, it says "he destroyed Wei Changtian's cultivation and left."
In reality, he "escaped from death with the help of the Qingjue Jade Pendant".
Obviously, the two processes are not identical.
But the result was the same, that is, Xiao Feng did not die.
And this is what Wei Changtian calls "self-correction of destiny."
Of course, subsequent facts proved that this "correction" was not omnipotent.
When the plot changes greatly enough, beyond the upper limit of what can be corrected, even "Heaven's Way" will be powerless.
For example, the battle on the top of Yanyun Mountain.
Xiao Feng found five second-rank masters, and logically speaking, he could have saved Wei Changtian from death again, or even killed him.
But even "Heaven" probably didn't expect that Wei Changtian actually had such a perverted thing as "System".
A "divine striking talisman" completely reversed the situation and directly broke through the upper limit of fate's self-correction, ultimately successfully killing Xiao Feng.
Thinking in this way, "destiny" may be like a long river rolling forward. Even if there are twists and turns along the way, its flow direction must be from high to low.
The "system" is a plug-in that can reverse the flow of fate.
This rule applies not only to Wei Changtian, but also to Xu Suisui.
In the dispute between Wei and Ning, Wei Changtian first used the Puppet Pill to hold the members of the Tongzhou Society hostage and successfully supported Ning Wenjun to take the position. He then used the divine attack to kill Wu Ding and Bai Youheng one after another. In addition, Xu Suisui's self-righteous manipulation led to the result that should not have happened, that Ning Yongnian was buried in Lingbo Pavilion.
This huge variable led to the subsequent major war involving seven countries.
In other words, if there was no system, if there was no Xu Suisui's "Lingboting Peace Promotion", this war might not have happened.
But with these, the long river of fate began to flow backwards.
But this is not the case with the Tiaoyue Sword.
On the one hand, although Xu Suisui wanted to change the plot, she did not have the ability and mentality to do so, and was fooled around by Chu Xianping and Lu Hongji in the Elders' Council.
On the other hand, Wei Changtian might have the ability, but he delegated all matters concerning Kuilong to Chu Xianping and did not intervene at all.
When the only two people in the world who can change the "fate of the Great Dao" have not achieved anything, it is not difficult to understand why the Tiao Yue Sword Manual still falls into Lu Hongji's hands.
"But."
"How can you be sure that the sword manual is with Lu Hongji now?"
After being silent for a while, Xu Suisui still had one thing he didn't understand.
She looked at Wei Changtian, who had a bitter smile on his face, and asked unwillingly, "Maybe just like the invasion of the four countries, the plot has also changed?"
“.”
Looking up at Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian shook his head and said slowly:
“Although I don’t know how Lu Hongji got the sword manual in the book you read.”
"But in reality, he could only have snatched it from Old Zhang."
"As for the matter between Old Zhang and the Tiaoyue Sword, very few people know about it except you and me."
"Yang Liushi, Chu Xianping, Du Chang, Qin Zhengqiu, Li Wutong, and Agou, there are only these six."
"I only told her about Yang Liushi recently."
"So, tell me, among the remaining five people, who will leak the secret to Lu Hongji? And who will have the opportunity to contact Lu Hongji?"
"I can't think of any other possibility except Chu Xianping."
"He not only knows the secret of the Moon-Picking Sword and Old Zhang's whereabouts when he returned to the White Palace, but he can also contact Lu Hongji through the Kuilong Elders' Council."
"Adding to his current betrayal, there is a 99% chance that Old Zhang was sold out by him."
Rubbing his forehead, Wei Changtian paused for a moment, his tone somewhat self-deprecating.
"Also, he left me a message the night we fell out."
"It is said that everyone has their own aspirations."
"At that time, I was wondering, what exactly is Chu Xianping's ambition?"
"What does he want that I can't give him?"
"Follow me, you will have power and money."
"Even if this power is not overwhelming, it is still powerful enough to cover the sky with one hand in this small piece of land of Da Ning and Da Shu. Even Ning Wenjun and Ning Yuke would have to give him some face when they see him."
"He betrayed me. Who could have given him such great power?"
“So, I never figured it out before.”
“But now I finally understand.”
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian didn't continue.
But Xu Suisui, who had finally been "smart" for once, stared blankly with his eyes wide open, muttering to himself:
"You mean, Chu Xianping wants the power of the Moon-Stirring Sword?"
"Congratulations, you got half of it right."
Wei Changtian smiled and was in the mood to joke: "I've been guessing all night, now it's your turn."
"There's still half left. Guess what?"
"I-I can't guess."
Xu Suisui frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't guess what the other half was.
Wei Changtian did not answer, but just threw the token in his hand into Xu Suisui's arms.
Xu Suisui lowered his head in a daze, looking at the token that was so familiar to him.
It looks like jade but it is not jade, like stone but it is not stone, I don’t know what it is made of.
There is a ferocious ghost-faced dragon carved on the front, and there is no pattern carved on the back, only two small words.
Kuilong.
