Chapter 101 Brother Aotian, Don’t Be Fatal
Chi Yu was bewildered and started playing chess with Xie Xiyi. After a few moves, Xie Xiyi said, "You're very honest. You said you know a little, and you really do."
Chi Yu: "..."
I know you dislike my food.
Chi Yu urged, "Senior Brother Xuanji, please continue."
Xie Xiyi took the box containing the white pieces in front of Chi Yu and started playing chess with himself. He could fight with himself freely without having to think.
He placed his pieces with the swiftness of a gust of wind, speaking in a melodious voice: "The Way of Heaven is to benevolent and bright, while the Way of Earth is to humble and ascend. This should be the law of Heaven. However, Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs. This is also the law of Heaven. It's interesting that the Way of Heaven in this world is both, and neither."
He smiled broadly, but even though he was smiling, Chi Yu felt strangely cold. "...What do you mean?"
"It is understanding, manipulating, and pushing. Do you think this is the way of heaven?" Xie Xiyi asked.
Chi Yu: "...Senior Brother Xuanji, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand."
Xie Xiyi smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't understand. It's better if you don't understand. If you could understand, I wouldn't be telling you this."
Chi Yu: "...?"
Do you treat him as a tree hole in your feelings?
Xie Xiyi said, "I'm very curious. As a chess player, if I see the chess pieces on the board not moving according to their plan, what more interesting things will they do?"
"How interesting." A thin laugh escaped from his throat. "Do you understand how incredible it is that so many coincidences came together to destroy an immortal family? If any one link had gone wrong, this result would not have occurred. I realized how deep and unfathomable the malice of the heavens in this world is towards this immortal family—"
Hmm? You don't look surprised. How much did your Senior Brother Xuanji tell you? Did he take you home?
"..." Chi Yu held his breath, and after a while he exhaled, and said carefully: "Take me home... So, is your family really destroyed?"
Xie Xiyi looked at him quietly, then suddenly smiled, "This is shocking. You two are a little too close."
Despite saying this, Xie Xiyi continued, "Yes, after I returned to secular life from Buddhism, I realized one thing: the destruction of the Xie family is inevitable."
"The Xie family is the descendant of the God Clan. They entered the Haoyuan Realm through the Infinite Sea. Because they are the descendants of the God Clan and not cultivators in the world of cultivation, no one in the Xie family has spiritual roots, yet they have a long lifespan."
"The ancestors of the Xie family have conducted experiments and found that using the flesh and blood of the Xie family members can prolong the lifespan of mortals by several decades. This is equivalent to a walking cultivation resource.
If I don't stand up on my own, if I'm discovered, I'll just become a spiritual medicine for cultivating longevity pills. Even better, the Xie family doesn't belong to the Hao Yuan Realm and isn't bound by the Hao Yuan Heavenly Dao. Consuming the flesh and blood of the Xie family members won't increase any karma or increase the Heavenly Dao's thunder tribulations.
"From the moment the Xie family entered the Haoyuan Realm, they attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao.
After two thousand years of planning, it finally destroyed this family in my generation."
Xie Xiyi stared at Chi Yu. "Don't you find it fascinating? They've gone to great lengths to destroy this family, even using the blood and bones of these outsiders to cultivate a large number of talented cultivators. From Wanqiongzhou all the way to Dongjingzhou, even mortals can buy a bottle of longevity wine. It's nothing more than sucking the marrow out of the bones."
Chi Yu's mouth opened wide. He took out the bottle of Qianshan Brew from the Xumi Ring and said, "Senior Brother Xuanji...is this it?"
Xie Xiyi took it, opened the bottle, sniffed it gently, and laughed, "Of course."
Chi Yu finally understood why the villain Xie Xiyi changed his face and wanted to kill him.
He was unable to calm down and couldn't help asking, "Why did the Heavenly Dao do this?"
Xie Xiyi said: "Why? The reason why the Heavenly Dao can become biased and selfish is naturally because of interests... Let me guess, it's naturally because-" He laughed, "As long as there are enough cultivators ascending in the Haoyuan Realm, then this world will be promoted from the Small Thousand Worlds to the Great Thousand Worlds.
Anyone who has practiced Buddhist meditation can sense that, in addition to the world we can see with our eyes, there are countless other worlds, and each world has its own levels and hierarchies. The higher the level, the richer the spiritual energy. It makes sense that cultivators want to advance, to ascend to immortality, and that the Heavenly Dao also wants to advance.
Chi Yu: "..."
He was so shocked that he couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that the outcome of the family's destruction cannot be changed?"
Xie Xiyi smiled and said, "Do you think it's possible? Can a chess player lose control of his moves? All coincidences are due to the karma and fate within the human heart. And who controls this karma and fate? It's the Way of Heaven."
Chi Yu: "..."
He thought of Xiaoqiu and couldn't help asking, "Xiaoqiu...how's Xiaoqiu?"
"..." Xie Xiyi's smile faded slightly. He took out a pendant from his Sumeru Ring, which contained sparkling sand. "He's here."
Chi Yu's mind was instantly confused and he had difficulty breathing. He stood up and said, "I want to go back. I want to go back to Senior Brother Xuan Ji. I want to tell him—"
"It's useless." Xie Xiyi said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "It's useless. The destruction of the Xie family is an unchangeable fate. If we want to blame them, we can only blame them for being pawns. If Zhang San is gone, Li Si will also be there. Countless causes and conditions will eventually point to the Xie family."
The corners of his lips curled up. "But it doesn't matter. I'm still here, and I'm very interested in fighting it."
Chi Yu: "..."
He had no intention of saying anything more to Xie Xiyi. He just wanted to return to Senior Brother Xuan Ji. He was still waiting for Senior Brother Xuan Ji to come out of the Wuliang Secret Realm.
He also wanted to hide the small ball in a place where no one knew. He couldn't protect all the members of the Xie family, but protecting a small ball should be no problem, right?
He wants to go back!
Chi Yu was in a state of panic, but he asked Xie Xiyi hopefully, "How am I going to get back? You should know, right? After all, you are Senior Brother Xuan Ji!"
Xie Xiyi raised an eyebrow, but did not refute his words. He said calmly: "The secret realm is the gap between the worlds. There is a one in ten thousand chance of causing your current situation. If you want to go back, you will naturally wait for that one in ten thousand chance."
Chi Yu began to feel dizzy from his impatience, and his voice became extremely dry: "...What if I can't wait?"
Xie Xiyi tilted his head slightly to look at him, "You can leave the secret realm."
Chi Yu: “Ah?”
Xie Xiyi laughed. "There can't be two identical people in one world. This is an iron rule. And outside the Tiangang Secret Realm, there's another Chi Yu. If you leave the Tiangang Secret Realm, you'll be recognized by the Heavenly Dao and sent back to your original world as a 'fake.' However, the Tiangang Secret Realm has only been open for a few days. It'll be another ten days before the exit appears."
Chi Yu didn't wonder why there was another Chi Yu. He simply didn't have the leisure time for that.
He reluctantly sat back down, "I can wait."
He clenched his hands into fists and prayed with all his heart, waiting for him to come back, Senior Brother Xuan Ji, wait for him, Xiao Qiu, wait for him!
Please, don't get into trouble.
*
Xiaoqiu scratched his face, feeling uneasy.
Controlled by Wu Yunsu, he took a hoe and dug up half of the land in the spiritual plant garden of Luopo Zen Sect. He also used the feces of Yuezhao Qianlibai that Brother Aotian had left for him to take care of as fertilizer.
After returning home, he had to boil water for Wu Yunsu to take a bath. He scolded him and made him unhappy, and even asked him to wash his feet.
Of course, Wu Yunsu's feet were white and tender, very beautiful, and washing them was not difficult, but this clearly meant that he was being treated as a servant, which made Xiaoqiu unhappy.
He was His Highness's servant, and he did these things willingly—of course, His Highness had never asked him to do it.
His Highness didn't even ask him to do this, but he was ordered by this demon to do it. Xiaoqiu felt very uncomfortable.
Moreover, he was forced by Wu Yunsu to call him brother.
Counting from the time of birth in this world, Xiaoqiu is actually eight or nine years older than Wu Yunsu. However, just because Wu Yunsu transformed from a demon into a human and cultivated his bones older than him, Xiaoqiu forced him to call him brother. Xiaoqiu disagreed strongly with this.
Instead of calling him brother, they forced him to call him uncle. What's even worse is that they made him call him dad. They made him call him all kinds of names.
In a place where Brother Aotian and His Highness could not see, the demon bullied him.
As a cultivator, these are actually harmless, but Brother Aotian was bewitched by the demon's face and was reluctant to punish him, which made Xiaoqiu feel jealous.
He had heard that mortal couples would love their first child very much, but if they had a second child, they would favor the second one.
Now that I think about it, the principle is the same.
Xiaoqiu made up his mind that he would wait for Brother Aotian to come out of the secret realm, then he would go to complain. If Brother Aotian was bewitched by the demon again and was unwilling to punish the other party and try to smooth things over, he would lose his temper and let Brother Aotian know that he was about to lose him!
He waited and waited, and finally after seven days, the Tiangang Secret Realm was reopened!
Xiaoqiu went to the exit of the secret realm early to wait for Brother Aotian, and even braided her hair——
His face was somewhat similar to Xie Xiyi's. He was very handsome, a little tough, not as gentle and beautiful as Raven and Wu Yunsu, so it looked a bit out of place with his braids. Seeing Wu Yunsu squinting and silently laughing at him, Xiaoqiu silently untied his braids and replaced them with the high ponytail that Brother Aotian had tied for him at the beginning.
He had grown a lot taller. The Xie family had excellent genes, and no one was short or ugly. So even though he was still young, he was half a head taller than other monks of the same age.
His level of meditation and insight is not as high as his.
I think in a few years, I will be as tall as Brother Aotian.
By then, he will be able to fight side by side with Brother Aotian and provide support.
Just like Chi Yu relies on Senior Brother Xuan Ji, Xiao Qiu also relies on Chi Yu.
His teenage physique and the self-awareness of a cultivator gradually made it impossible for him to throw himself into Brother Aotian's arms and act like a child - he still felt too ashamed and it felt very out of place.
He couldn't cut up the demon's corpse while pretending to be a weak child and asking Brother Aotian to hug him.
Xiaoqiu thought a lot, his eyes fixed on the exit.
Zen disciples began to come out.
Those wearing red clothes are disciples of the Prajna school, those wearing purple meditation clothes are disciples of the Svaha school, and those wearing blue clothes are disciples of the Sambhava school...
Finally, the Zen disciple in blue clothes came out!
Xiaoqiu went up to them, greeting them with a cheerful expression and tone that gradually matched Chi Yu's. "Brother Jingguan, Brother Wuyou, you're finally out." He quickly changed the subject, "By the way, where's Brother Aotian? Isn't he on your team? And where's Brother Lianchi?"
Jingguan's expression changed slightly. He exchanged glances with Wuyou and asked hesitantly, "Junior Brother Long, didn't come out?"
"Ah?" Xiaoqiu was stunned.
Qingxuan's voice came from behind them, "Junior Brother Long came out fourteen days ago. Didn't you see him?"
Qingxuan strode up to him. He was only slightly shorter than Xie Xiyi, but in front of Xiaoqiu, he was a full head taller. His gaze, cast down on Xiaoqiu, made Xiaoqiu feel a hint of cold scrutiny, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake.
Xiaoqiu couldn't help but panic, "No, Brother Aotian didn't come out! The exit is not open, how could he come out?"
Jing Guan said, "If he hasn't come out, I think Junior Brother Long must have entered a crack in the secret realm. Although this situation is extremely rare, it is not impossible. In this case, it is probably very difficult for Junior Brother Long to come back. After all, there are three thousand worlds, and Haoyuan Realm is just one of them."
Wuyou comforted him, "Perhaps this is also an opportunity for Junior Brother Long."
But everyone present knew that this kind of comfort was too thin.
Qingxuan was stunned. He never expected that this was possible.
He lowered his eyes, his mind in a state of confusion.
He had no intention of harming Junior Brother Long to this extent.
Xiaoqiu panicked even more. "How is this possible? No way, no way. Brother Aotian has always been lucky. How could he be so unlucky?"
He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Wu Yunsu grabbed his hand and whispered in his ear, "Go find Lecturer Hong. Come with me."
After Wu Yunsu finished speaking, he took Xiaoqiu and went to find Lecturer Hong.
Xiaoqiu was dragged along by him, panicking, "Wu Yunsu, what should we do? Will Brother Aotian die?"
Wu Yunsu shouted, "No, cheer up! If Lecturer Hong can't help, you can always ask Xuan Ji for help! Isn't Xuan Ji very powerful?"
Xiaoqiu's attention shifted slightly, "Why are you calling His Highness by his Dharma name?"
Wu Yunsu asked back, "Then what can I call him? He pulled out one of my teeth, and he drew blood from my pretty face several times. If I ever reach the Nascent Soul stage, I'll put a Gu on him and make him wash my feet."
Xiaoqiu was shocked, "You are too vicious. It was our prince who left you here, otherwise you would have been hacked to death by Brother Aotian!"
Wu Yunsu said, "Let's put it this way. He saved me, and I will repay him in the future. But he beat me, and I will avenge him sooner or later."
"..." Xiaoqiu didn't want to argue with him. His attention returned to the past and he howled in panic: "Brother Aotian! Brother Aotian!"
Wu Yunsu shouted, "Shut up! Stop yelling! There must be a way! He'll be fine!"
Xiaoqiu ignored him, feeling anxious and scared, tears welling up in her eyes. She choked and howled, "Brother Aotian, please don't die! I don't want you to die! Brother Aotian! Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, please come out quickly, something's happened to Brother Aotian!"
Wu Yunsu: “…”
