Qi Jing nodded, "There are monsters now, but I can't sense those gods anymore."
"What I mean is, it just happened that it started from here, that is, after your trace disappeared a thousand years ago, the Heavenly Dao cut off the path of ascension in the human world. Could there be any connection between them?"
Qi Jing shook his head, "I don't know."
Gu Zhou pursed his lips. He shouldn't have asked. He guessed, "Could it be because you changed their original plot? And didn't properly deal with the aftermath, so it got out of control."
Qi Jing was unhappy when he heard this, "So you want to blame me?"
"I'm not blaming you, this is analysis." Gu Zhou held his face and said seriously, "Let's sort it out now. Zhao Yin's story is redemption, right? The goddess went back to the past with the intention of killing Zhao Yin, but fell in love with him."
Qi Jing tilted his head, "She forced Xiao Qi to death, and then she said she liked Zhao Yin. Is there something wrong with her?"
"But what if you hadn't appeared back then? Of the doomed twins, only one could survive. Do you think it would be Zhao Yin or Xiao Qi? Regardless of which of them it was, if the goddess reappeared, would Zhao Yin regard her as salvation?"
Qi Jing pointed at himself and asked, "Did I steal the role of the goddess?"
"Maybe." Gu Zhou put down his hands and analyzed carefully, "Let's not worry about your purpose in intervening in these plots. You definitely want these people to be well. So you saved Zhao Yin and Xiao Qi, raised them, and taught them well. Xiao Qi chose to sacrifice herself to save Zhao Yin. Zhao Yin probably committed suicide in pursuit of Xiao Qi, and because he was tired of the goddess's constant appearances.
Judging from this result, no matter which of the two brothers is the protagonist, they did not develop according to the plot as they should."
Qi Jing nodded and laughed, "So I'm still pretty good, right?"
"Yes! Uncle is the best, give me a kiss."
Gu Zhou praised Qi Jing but did not forget to take advantage of him, pouting towards him and asking for a kiss.
Qi Jing was not vague either. He leaned over and kissed him, then pressed Gu Zhou's shoulders and climbed onto his lap to sit down.
Gu Zhou put his arm around Qi Jing's waist, adjusted his posture, and asked him, "It's not night time, why are you holding me in your arms?"
"The bench is hard." Qi Jing was a little disgusted. In the Qi family, even the hard benches had cushions, and he was used to it.
Gu Zhou chuckled, thinking Qi Jing was so cute that he couldn't help but kiss him again.
After calming down, Gu Zhou continued, "Speaking of Meng Yuan, although I don't know what script he got, according to him, he was able to marry his wife because of your relationship."
"He's a zombie now. I can't see him clearly, but he should have changed his appearance."
"That's right. The hero and heroine set in the plot may not be the best outcome. Let's assume that Meng Yuan's current marriage is due to your changes. Does that mean Yun Bao's marriage no longer exists?"
Qi Jing's eyes widened slightly, "When different people come together at different times, the children born will naturally be different."
"Looking at it this way, could it be that Rainbow Dash became like this because of her birth? It's like a correction of the will of Heaven. Rainbow Dash shouldn't exist. The first time she was captured and made into a monkey, you saved her, and after you left, she became a monkey again."
Although this secret technique is uncommon, Taoism has been very popular for thousands of years. Meng Yuan is an official, so it is not difficult for him to find someone to save Yunbao. Unfortunately, Yunbao's condition is getting worse and worse, and Meng Yuan was killed by lightning. The probability of this happening is really not high.
After Gu Zhou's reminder, Qi Jing also realized that something was wrong. He sat up straight and raised his hand to calculate. The more he calculated, the tighter his brows frowned, and soon he drooped down.
Seeing him like this, Gu Zhou couldn't help but worry, and asked Qi Jing with his face close to his, "What's wrong?"
"The time of Meng Yuan's death was very close to the time when Zhao Yin said there would be thunder." Qi Jing rubbed his lips unhappily. He now had an uncertain but terrifying idea.
Gu Zhou also guessed, "When you went to fight Tiandao?"
Qi Jing nodded, "Isn't he killed by me?"
"Probably not." Gu Zhou touched his head. "We'll know about this later. My current thought is that Zhao Yin and Meng Yuanyunbao have both arrived a thousand years later. Will the same happen to the other people you came into contact with a thousand years ago?"
Qi Jing didn't know, but he felt a little uncomfortable. He asked Gu Zhou eagerly, "Did I harm them?"
"If you had harmed them, they would have hated you and wanted revenge on you for the past thousand years. Do you think they've moved?"
“No.”
"That's not your problem. They recognized you immediately and knew to keep the secret of immortality for you. They respect you and are grateful to you," Gu Zhou comforted him. "You can't just judge things by appearances; you have to consider the attitude of the person involved. If they think it's good, then you've done a good thing."
The slight depression instantly dissipated, Qi Jing raised the corner of his mouth and rubbed against Gu Zhou, "I am a good person."
"Well, little uncle is the best." Gu Zhou looked into Qi Jing's eyes. If things were not going well, Gu Xuanyi would not have waited until now. He would have retained the last bit of consciousness and wait until Qi Jing's soul returned to his body.
The two of them stayed in the room for a while. Qi Jing was very happy with the Xu family's warm hospitality, but he was not full. He went back to his room at night and ate a lot of snacks.
Before going to bed, Gu Zhou threw a bunch of snack bags into the space ring. Fortunately, he had the foresight to stock up, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to feed himself.
The neighbors in the countryside got up early, and it was the New Year period, so there were always cars passing by on the road. The house was not very soundproofed, so the two were woken up early.
This time Qi Jing didn't sleep in. After living in the city for so long, he wanted to go out for a walk and breathe the mountain air.
After a simple bowl of noodles, Qi Jing picked up Yunbao with milk and went out. They walked on the country road, humming a cheerful tune. The two of them, one big and one small, ate snacks and drank milk in a very comfortable manner.
Gu Zhou and Meng Yuan followed behind. In order to understand Gu Zhou better, he asked Meng Yuan about his emotional issues. Meng Yuan did not hide anything and told him everything in detail.
Meng Yuan was born in troubled times. Both his parents died in the war and he became a beggar at the age of five.
Later, when the war subsided, Meng Yuan moved to the imperial city and was settled in the charity hall established by Qi Jing.
When the new country was first established, an imperial examination system was implemented. Meng Yuan studied hard in a charity hall and won the third place in the imperial examination at the age of eighteen.
Meng Yuan smiled when talking about this. "If it weren't for the Grand Master's decision, I would have been beaten to death and thrown to the dogs, let alone the third place."
Gu Zhou immediately grasped the key point, "Could it be that your article has been replaced by someone else?"
"Yes." Meng Yuan placed his right hand in front of him and spoke carefully, "After the results were announced, I didn't see my name. I thought I had failed, so I went back to the charity hall in despair. I had planned to teach the children to read, but I was caught by criminals on the way.
It was the Imperial Master who saved me, took me to the palace to confront him, where we could recognize his handwriting, discuss state policy, and exchange knowledge. That’s how I was chosen as the third place in the imperial examination, entered the court as an official, and met my wife. The Imperial Master is not only my benefactor, but also the greatest benefactor in my life.”
