Chapter 194: Going against the decision of our ancestors
After Yuan Ye said this, the old man who was kowtowing loudly collapsed to the ground.
It was rare for him to get angry, and Lin Du looked teachable, but Ni Jinxuan next to him looked a little panicked.
Yuan Ye has always been a cunning but unreliable person in the Supreme Sect. He has never been so aggressive before. If he used to be as weird and unreliable as the mechanical beasts he created, now he looks like a real prince with his aggressive look.
He stood there, with a cold murderous intent all over his body, then he leaned forward gently, saying in a gentle voice, "Master Imperial Master, what are you doing? I am from a prestigious and upright family."
"You are right. You are seeking a way to save the country. Do you still feel that you are justified and have done good things for the country? Do you really deserve the title of National Master?"
Yuan Ye said in a grim tone, "What a pity! My brother conquered the world of Great Zhou. When you sided with the evil ways and allowed them to harm the lives of the common people of Great Zhou, why didn't anyone think that you were doing it to protect the world?"
"What? Are you trying to say that's the price?"
"They only lost their lives, but the Great Zhou lost the whole world?"
Yuan Ye chuckled, and used his spiritual power to lift the head up, looking straight at the old face with wrinkles like plums, "You have disguised your selfish desires as peace and prosperity, and put on patchwork clothes. Do you really think you are the savior? You don't deserve it!"
Seeing that the Imperial Master was slow to respond, Yuan Ye's contemptuous voice suddenly became fierce, "Speak, the savior of the Great Zhou!"
The Imperial Master felt the powerful pressure of the spiritual force that was suddenly released, and burst into tears. "Your Highness, please spare my life, Your Highness, please spare my life! I really just wanted to practice honestly! I just wanted to be able to practice! Who knew... who knew..."
"Who knew that small sect would bully me because of my age and mediocre qualifications, so I could only be an ordinary errand disciple. Later, one day, His Highness's name appeared on the Qingyun Ranking, and I said I knew him... They all laughed at me."
"The sect was too hard, and I didn't have any resources, so I wanted to find His Highness and ask him to at least give me something. So I left the sect and headed north, but I ran into that group of people halfway. They asked me if I knew you, His Highness."
"I said yes, and they asked me how I could prove it. I said I had your birth date and time. Then they asked me if I wanted to return to the mortal world and return in style."
The Imperial Master was vomiting blood due to the pressure of spiritual power, and at the same time he trembled and blurted out everything that had happened before.
"Your Highness, we really went to the Fairy Island to save the country. Now, you are using your spiritual energy to feed back the dragon veins. This is the way to save the country! At that time, I was eager to save the country and never discussed it with Your Highness. But if Your Highness knew about this, he would definitely agree, right? Could it be that you no longer care about the Great Zhou after you become an immortal?"
The more Yuan Ye listened, the colder his heart became, and finally his smile disappeared completely. He stood there, and the wide sleeves he had put on just to pretend were suddenly pulled by someone, and the girl's voice rang out.
"But good is good and evil is evil. You are wrong to continue the dragon vein with evil ways. Why is it natural for Yuan Ye's spiritual power and essence to nourish the dragon vein, but you become the savior? Don't care about other people's lives?"
"In the final analysis, you take it for granted that others are sacrificing, but it's just..." Ni Jinxuan was a little at a loss for words, and thought hard, "It's easy to talk without any pain in the waist!"
The frost in the young man's eyes slowly melted away, and he smiled, stopped talking to the national teacher, and turned to look at Lin Du, "Junior Master?"
"Take him with you, go, and ask him to point out the crime scene." Lin Du paused, and seeing the hesitation in Yuan Ye's heart, he still gave instructions regardless of Xie Yu's presence.
"Yuan Ye, throughout history, no dynasty has been able to last forever. A dynasty can only last two or three hundred years from prosperity to decline, no matter how hard it tries. As long as resources continue to be concentrated upwards, concentrated on the same group of people, and the population at the bottom increases, and the land resources decrease, it will eventually decline. This is the law of society."
"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. We, the righteous, should restore order and not interfere with changing the natural course. Moreover, the prosperity of a country depends more on human affairs, not destiny."
Even in the world of cultivation, there are still great cultivators who constantly give back to the heaven and all living beings, but the feudal royal family and aristocratic families will never give back to the people. The Great Zhou now has redundant officials and taxes, an empty treasury, and nine out of ten houses on the border are deserted. It is already showing signs of decline. Without wise rulers and honest officials to reform and innovate, it will only go downhill. Now it is just struggling to survive.
Xie Yu had been standing outside the door. When he heard this, he glanced at the green figure in the middle in surprise.
"Yuan Ye, tie him up and take him away."
"Junior Master, let me do it!" Ni Jinxuan volunteered.
"That's fine." Lin Du's voice softened. "Be gentle, it hurts."
Xie Yu was just about to ask why his hands hurt and why he hadn't gotten the iron key to the cage yet, but the next moment, the fairy standing next to Yuan Ye tore open the iron chain that was almost as thick as an adult's arm and easily tore off the rune of the folk master.
The yellow talisman fell at the woman's feet like waste paper, and then the man moved lightly with lotus steps, and easily took out a rope in front of the national teacher who wanted to break out. With a flash of golden light, he tied the man up tightly, which was very textured.
The Imperial Master was tied up like a salted fish, hanging in the air.
Xie Yu: ...Is Yuan Ye really following a legitimate immortal sect?
"Thank you, General. I will take my junior apprentice nephews and leave first." Lin Du said and glanced at Wei Zhi.
Wei Zhi understood and borrowed some spiritual power. The four people and a dying salted fish blended into the sunset and flew rapidly towards the dragon vein and the tomb.
Before the four of them left, Xie Yu called out "Yuan Ye".
"Don't worry, wait for me to come back." Yuan Ye said as he ascended into the air, "I'm Xie Qingyu, a man of my words!"
Ni Jinxuan was puzzled, "Why do you still want to help him?"
Yuan Ye paused and did not say directly that it was because their Yuan family had repeatedly suspected the family of meritorious officials that the Xie Marquis's Mansion had to repeatedly give in and keep a low profile. However, when he saw that there were no more good generals, for the sake of the Great Zhou, he still asked his good brother Xie Yu to agree to go to the front line, which caused the other party to lose his fiancée and his father and brother.
"He gave me his fiancée's birth date and time before, and I made a soul-chasing charm on the carriage."
"If the soul is in this world, it will automatically ignite even if it is reincarnated. However, the soul-chasing talisman cannot be injected with spiritual power. This shows that his fiancée has indeed no signs of reincarnation."
"The spirit of his fiancée is definitely not here."
Lin Du raised her eyes unexpectedly, and then suddenly remembered that year when Yuan Ye mentioned in the library that his study partner in the Great Zhou Dynasty would also hold the pen like her.
She once guessed that Xie Yu's "young master" was a time traveler, but she never expected that she was actually Xie Yu's fiancée.
After traveling through time and space and dying, where does the soul go?
Lin Du suddenly felt dazed. Wei Zhi noticed her momentary depression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Du came back to his senses and shook his head. "It's nothing. I was just thinking that maybe Xie Yu's fiancée is a soul from another world. Do you know how to get to another world if it is a soul from another world?"
Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment. "Generally, each world is governed by the Heavenly Dao. Unless the souls of different worlds have strength that breaks through the Heavenly Dao's restrictions, that is, ascend, they will not leave that world."
Lin Du thought for a moment, "Is there no other possibility? After all, you said that the corpse was a mortal corpse?"
Wei Zhi frowned slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his handsome face. "Perhaps there is an explanation. When a powerful force breaks through the two realms, it will cause chaos, which may engulf some souls that just meet the conditions and are about to leave the body. But such opportunities are too rare. Does the power that transcends the heavenly way and still exists in this world really exist?"
Lin Du also frowned, thinking, "Really?"
"If it is a spirit from another world, occupying the body, won't the Heavenly Dao discover it?"
Wei Zhi glanced at her in surprise. "The body is nothing more than a shell, but the combination of soul and flesh is created by nature, as long as it conforms to the way of heaven."
Lin Du complained quietly, "Does Heaven's Way follow one's heart? What it recognizes is natural?"
Wei Zhi smiled, "Almost. What? Are you a soul from another world?"
Lin Du was very brave and didn't dodge or evade. "I am the most gifted person on the Qingyun Ranking. I am recognized by the heavens. Do you think I am worthy of this?"
Wei Zhi retracted his gaze, looked straight ahead, and avoided talking, "The dragon vein has arrived."
Lin Du patted Yuan Ye on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to dig up your ancestral grave."
Yuan Ye bared his teeth, "Damn! Today I'm going to make a decision that goes against my ancestors!"
