Chapter 375: Broken Human Race's Destiny
The Qingyun Forum on the fifth day was originally designed for Ji You, so there was only one finger-playing duel, and no one else was arranged to continue the competition.
Now that the three major immortal sects have withdrawn, there is naturally no need to stay any longer.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Master Jian waved his immortal robe and disappeared in the discussion hall with a step, leaving only a pool of spiritual energy ripples that dissipated in the air.
She practices the purest Taoism, and her technique of shrinking the earth is flawless.
Then, Lingjianshan and his group left.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Qiuyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's situation is extremely dangerous. It can be said that if the young master had not come forward, a war might really have broken out. Once the war starts, it will not be up to them to decide when it will stop.
"Ji You is going to Wannian County to pick someone up. Do you need to send someone to accompany him?"
"No need. Since the battle hasn't started yet, there's not much point in them taking action. Let's go back to the courtyard and talk about it."
"yes……"
Qin Rong nodded when he heard the voice, and before leaving, he turned his head involuntarily and looked in the direction of Lingjian Mountain.
Afterwards, the group rushed back to the mountain, and the elders who followed them returned to the Elders' Pavilion.
They took off their robes and magical instruments, took out the spiritual stones and other items from the storage gourds and handed them over to the disciples for safekeeping. This was prepared in advance because they knew they might take action.
After all, we are facing the coercion of the three major immortal sects, so no matter how much preparation we make, it is not too much.
When they put things back in place, made some tea and sat down, they unconsciously fell into a trance and contemplation.
"What happened today was truly dangerous."
"Yes, a war almost broke out. This has never happened in the human race's thousand-year history..."
"Thank goodness Lingjian Mountain stepped in, otherwise today's incident would have been impossible to resolve."
"Yes, that Lingjian Mountain's Little Master and Ji You..."
Having said this, the scene suddenly fell silent, and the group of white-haired elders didn't know how to continue the discussion.
Yes, the three-on-one situation was indeed dangerous, and Lingjianshan's appearance was indeed unexpected, but what they found most unbelievable was Lingjianshan's young master's behavior towards Ji You.
Did Palace Master Zuoqiu know this beforehand? Is that why he's so tough?
But how could these two people...
At the same time, teahouses, taverns, inns, mansions and other places across the country were almost full.
This scene is actually the same as the previous few days. After all, the wins and losses after the discussion and the comprehension of the techniques must be discussed.
But today the atmosphere was far from lively, and could even be described as solemn.
Because too many things happened today, and they were too unexpected.
First, Ji You killed someone with two fingers, and then Tianshuyuan showed its attitude towards the alliance of three sects.
If these things happened on ordinary days, they would definitely be enough for people to talk about from morning to night.
But when the young master Jian appeared, everything faded.
Whether it was Erzhi's murder or Tianshuyuan's attitude, it didn't matter anymore. The only thing that mattered was the relationship between her and Ji You.
When he was a child, Lingjian actively chose him as his master. He is the youngest person in the middle realm of the boundless realm in Qingyun World and the next generation of the head saint of Lingjian Mountain.
Her in-laws have always been a focus of discussion in Qingyun Tianxia, because who she likes is very likely to change the situation in this world.
Some people said that she would choose Shang Xiyao, who was also her direct disciple, in the end, because this was the best choice when Xuanjian Peak was weak.
However, as Tianjian Peak weakened, such statements gradually became less common.
Later, some people said that such a conceited woman might have already decided in her heart not to marry.
But from beginning to end, no one thought about Ji You.
The two men were from one south and one north. One was of humble origin but arrogant, while the other was of noble status but aloof from the world. No one had ever thought that there would be any relationship between them.
Just like the surging Nujiang River, it should not be obsessed with a small fish in the stream outside Shengjing City.
"This must be a misunderstanding. That's the Young Master of Lingjian Mountain, not some ordinary woman."
"Talking about a Taoist partner or seeking a son-in-law is simply ridiculous."
"Let me ask you all, apart from the time when the Heavenly Academy went to Lingjian Mountain to ask for advice, Ji You has never had any connection with Lingjian Mountain. Even if he did, how could he be noticed by the young master?"
In the Shengjing Teahouse, Fang Jincheng kept shaking his head as he spoke.
His words seemed to be proving himself to others, but also seemed to be persuading himself not to believe it.
This statement naturally received a lot of support, and most of the people upstairs agreed with it.
Yu Shiliu opened his mouth when he heard the voice: "When Fengzhou raised the price of grain, Lingjian Mountain was the first to accept this price."
"That doesn't mean anything."
"Little Master Jian has his clothes in her storage gourd, and she can easily take them out. This is something only a Taoist couple can do, not to mention her gaze..."
"In my opinion, this is just a tactic to stop the war. I can only say that the young master is very far-sighted and easily discovered the key to breaking the deadlock."
While they were arguing, a group of people were walking hurriedly towards the residence of Prince Chong on the long street.
They were all from the Lingzhou aristocratic families, and the one walking in the front was the head of the Zeng family. They bent over and bowed all the way, looking very nervous.
Most of these noble families that passed through the long street participated in promoting the tax increase, with the original intention of stripping Fengzhou of its wealth.
But after what happened today, everything became different.
Just like Ma Xiang and He Ye felt that disaster was imminent because of the confrontation between the three major immortal sects and the Tianshu Academy, the aristocratic families that depended on Lingjian Mountain also needed to figure out their positions.
So the first thing they need to figure out is this relationship that has never been known to anyone.
Because the whole city was asking about this relationship, the Zeng family's visit to the residence of Master Xiaojian in Lingjian Mountain immediately attracted a surge of attention.
In full view of the public, they were received at the western residence of King Chong.
At that time, the young master had just returned to the small building and was drinking tea. His face showed no sadness or joy, which made people a little frightened.
"Master Jianzhu."
"Why did Master Zeng come here?"
"I was previously foolish and ignorant, as short-sighted as a frog in a well. That's why I was deceived and followed the Fang family's advice to participate in the tax increase. I have offended Master Ji. I beg for forgiveness, Master Jian."
The head of the Zeng family is also very good at language arts, and his questions are very clever.
On the one hand, he explained that he had participated in the tax increase without knowing it, and on the other hand, he used this matter to test the relationship between Jianzhu and Ji You.
Because if one can really ask the Lord to atone for offending Ji You, that in itself means the relationship between the two.
Otherwise, why would Jianzhu forgive them on behalf of Jiyou?
So several other noble families also followed suit and begged the Lord to atone for his sins.
However, the young master's answer did not go as they expected.
"How did you learn to gossip?"
"As long as we behave properly and sit upright in this world, why should we worry about our standing?"
"Master Zeng's cultivation has been unable to improve over the years and has been stuck at a bottleneck. I think it's because he's been calculating too deeply."
In the main building of the courtyard, Yan Shuyi's face was cold, and his brows were furrowed with anger, which made the head of the Zeng family feel uneasy.
Afterwards, they were asked to leave the courtyard and were surrounded by people who were concerned about the matter. They also wanted to know what the young master had to say about it.
And when the heads of the major families in Lingzhou told the young master about his scolding, countless people fell into deep thought.
Because listening to this speech, just like listening to a speech, can't explain anything.
But during this time, the head of the Zeng family did not say a word, but just turned the teacup in his hand and thought carefully.
The judge's answer is indeed ambiguous and it is difficult to tell what it means, but this is the meaning itself.
Because what Jianzhu hated most in her life was people fabricating her relationship with others. Otherwise, when she heard that the Holy Son of the Taoist Sect had come up the mountain in a high-profile manner, she would not have left the mountain directly.
From this we can see that if the two of them are really not as everyone misunderstands, she should not be ambiguous, but should make a stern explanation.
So that's not an excuse, that's a tacit agreement.
I assume everyone's guess is correct, but I just want everyone to stop spreading it...
The head of the Zeng family's heart trembled constantly, and the half cup of tea in his hand could not help but ripple.
Not long after the Zeng family came to pay homage to the emperor, another group of Lingzhou families, led by the Lingzhou Hua family, also hurried over to pay homage to the emperor.
No doubt, they also want to confirm the relationship between the two so that they know what to do.
"It seems that the Zeng family's Patriarch has angered the young Master Jian when he left just now. I'm afraid the Hua family won't even be able to see him this time and will be driven back."
"It's really not easy to meet him when he's angry."
A group of people looked at the Lingzhou families, led by the Hua family, walking towards the courtyard, and they couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.
But to their surprise, the Hua family and other aristocratic families were also invited in.
After they came out of the courtyard, they were naturally questioned by many people. The audience process they described was the same as that of the Zeng family, and the young master's reply did not even change a word.
Just as they were lost in thought, the head of the Hua family couldn't help but look at the head of the Zeng family.
He and the Zeng family's Patriarch both felt that the judge was tacitly agreeing...
In fact, as time goes by, other people will also be able to understand this.
If it wasn't really just a matter of angrily denying it, why would there be a need to ask people not to spread it anymore? Being so secretive is not generous at all.
The only possibility is that Xiao Jianzhu recognized that she and Ji You were Taoist companions.
As a result, the taverns and teahouses gradually became quiet, and countless people looked dazed, not knowing what to say.
Fang Jincheng, who had been furious just now, sat down for a rare moment. He felt as if he was falling into an icy cave when he heard the news that the young judge did not deny.
However, the only thing that these immortal cultivators did not understand was that in the following hour or so, there were still many people who went to the west residence of King Chong to pay homage, and everyone who came back said that the Lord of Justice was very angry.
But when the next person came to see the emperor, he was smoothly invited in, which made people a little confused.
"Master Li, take care."
"Thank you two fairies for leading the way. Please don't see me off."
The head of the Li family, who had just finished an audience, bowed and then hurriedly left the courtyard with his followers.
Watching him leave, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu couldn't help but look at each other: "The owner of the Jian Palace did it on purpose. She likes people to ask her if she is the eldest wife."
"Everyone in the world is talking about the son-in-law and Yuan Caiwei. The master has long wanted others to know that she is the elder one."
"But why don't you just say it directly?"
"The judge likes to be questioned. If he explains everything clearly once, no one will ask again. Besides, the judge is a tough guy to begin with."
“Tsk…”
The two stood in the yard, chirping for a while, then looked into the house.
The little judge who had just been speaking coldly was now swinging his feet, peeling pumpkin seeds and putting them into his mouth, his eyes shining.
However, when someone came to visit her again, she immediately returned to her cold attitude.
It was a noisy day, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was getting darker.
When the last head of the noble family who came to the court left, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu immediately felt a hot breath coming, so they turned their heads to look at the sky.
Ji You brought Kuang Cheng to the courtyard, and then gently released the hand that was holding the scholar's shoulder.
Kuang Shusheng was indeed taken to Wannian County, but he did not suffer any abuse and was simply placed under house arrest.
This was probably because Ji You had previously killed five elders of the Immortal Sect in Danshan, letting many people know that he really dared to draw his sword.
When he arrived in Wannian County, the disciples of the Wendao Sect who were guarding there had already withdrawn, and only the door to Kuangcheng was still locked.
At this time, as the two entered the courtyard, some dark divine thoughts came towards this place, but were quickly blocked by a ray of light and could only leave helplessly.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu came over when they saw this: "Is Mr. Kuang okay?"
"I'm fine, I was just asked to have a cup of tea."
After answering Ding Yao's question, Kuang Cheng looked at Ji You and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Ji, I've caused you trouble."
Ji You patted his shoulder and said, "After all, I brought this trouble upon you. What do you have to apologize for? Fortunately, you are fine. Otherwise, I would have been so upset that I couldn't eat for three days."
"Only three days?"
"Three days is a long time. Lao Cao's accident only lasted two days, maybe even less..."
After Ji You finished speaking, he looked up and saw the young master of Lingjian Mountain.
At this moment, she was standing at the door, looking at him with a cold and arrogant expression.
"How's the situation in the capital?"
"We know everything we need to know. It's just that because of the identity of the appraiser, some people still don't dare to believe it. But there are obviously more people coming to see us." Ding Yao answered truthfully.
After hearing this, Ji You looked at Ding Yao and said, "There are clearly clothes in my storage gourd."
"The judge did it on purpose. She wanted others to know."
As they spoke, the two turned their heads and looked towards the hall.
The young master of the imperial court obviously heard the two people say that she did it on purpose, and her cold and proud eyes narrowed slightly.
Ji You entrusted Kuang Cheng to the two of them, and then walked towards Yan Shuyi.
Seeing him walking towards him, Yan Shuyi turned around gently and walked into the hall with the same coldness.
"If you dress me publicly, it will be hard for you to marry someone else in the future."
"It's just a misunderstanding, a temporary solution to help you escape. I can explain it to others later. However, there are smart people in this world. They know you are just a disciple of the Tianshu Academy. Even after what happened today, they still don't believe it. They have already guessed that you and I have no relationship."
Yan Shu also sat opposite him at the tea table and spoke in a cold tone.
After hearing this, Ji You looked at her, then leaned over and kissed her hard mouth.
The young master was stunned by the sudden kiss, and when their lips were separated, he revealed a hint of murderous intent.
But when the strange man attacked her for the second time, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue again.
Ji You was of course aware of the consequences of Yan Shuyi's actions.
The Wendao Sect had always wanted to marry him, but this scene that happened in public undoubtedly hurt the Wendao Sect's face and pushed him to the opposite side.
The situation of checks and balances among the three southern sects may no longer exist.
In addition, having an affair with a rural cultivator would definitely affect her supreme image in the sect.
But she finally showed up.
The young master of Lingjian Mountain has always been known for her rationality, which shows how difficult it was for her to make this decision.
In fact, Ji You felt guilty, because he probably subconsciously felt that no matter how bad the situation was, Yan Shuyi would not ignore him, so he was so tough.
So even if it wasn't a deliberate plan, what happened today was him unconsciously taking advantage of her, and she knew she would be taken advantage of but still took the initiative to join in, which made him feel even more indebted.
"I'm really sorry about what happened today."
"This is my own decision, and I just happened to encounter the right timing. This way, the people in the mountain won't bother me with matters of in-laws. You should be strong and remember to act as a shield."
Yan Shuyi pursed her lips as she finished speaking, and suddenly saw his apologetic look, and couldn't help but lower her head and peck him on the mouth.
Ji You couldn't help but put his hands around her waist and brought her into his arms, while wrapping his tongue around her. He saw a pair of snow-white feet slightly curled up under her plump buttocks, with five round toes gathered together.
At this time, the sun was gradually turning to the west, and the restaurants in the capital were still full of discussions.
In the courtyard of the young master of Lingjian Mountain, there were constant sounds of clicking of the tongue in the hall.
"that……"
"?"
"Let me see the things from the holy land of the ancient sages."
After hearing this, Ji You picked her up and waved his hand to release a ray of light.
In a flash, the room was filled with a fairy-like feeling.
And in the swaying fairy spirit, a bright fairy light like a swimming fish kept swimming, spreading a majestic aura and a majestic Taoist rhyme.
Seeing this thing, Yan Shu, who was sitting in Ji You's arms, frowned slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
"What are you going to do with this?"
"I need to go to the Heavenly Academy first and ask Zuo Qiuyang's opinion. He must have something to say to me when he wrote to me, but the discussion of the Dao has prevented me from meeting him."
"The Heavenly Academy still has some of the majesty of the Holy Sect today, and their attitude towards you seems to have changed a lot. It would be nice to listen to their opinions."
“…”
Zuo Qiuyang has been in the Zizai Hall since he returned to Tianshuyuan. He knew that Ji You would come to find him, so he sat quietly watching the sky until dusk.
When the sky turned deep blue and the evening breeze died down, the figure that had been waiting finally appeared.
Looking at Ji You coming up the mountain, Zuo Qiuyang couldn't help but have a complicated look in his eyes.
People in the courtyard have always said that he has fiancées all over the mountain, but he really didn't expect that he could find his fiancée on the southernmost Lingjian Mountain.
But before he could say anything, Ji You released the fairy spirit from his arms.
Zuo Qiuyang came back to his senses instantly, his eyes were attracted by it and he watched for a long time.
After looking at it for about half a cup of tea, the Lord of the Free Palace could not help but speak softly, "What are your guesses about this thing?"
"There are many speculations, such as spiritual treasures and immortal fate, but my intuition tells me...it should be the destiny of the human race."
“…”
“…”
"To be precise, this is a fragment of shattered luck, which is why it has the effect of benefiting the group. Luck is inherently related to cause and effect, and those who are interconnected by cause and effect will naturally be affected by it."
Zuo Qiuyang was silent for a long time before he spoke: "This proves that the confessions of the Du and Bai families were not false."
After the thousand-year-old family joined forces to commit evil, the major immortal sects joined forces to capture the survivors and tortured them for a long time.
When asked how they had made the fate of the relics accepted by the Heavenly Dao, they said that they entered the holy land of the sages, cut off the destiny of the human race, and made the Heavenly Dao lose the ability to monitor the world.
Not many people in this world know the complete confession. The top leaders of the Immortal Sect know it, and Ji You also knows it.
So at the moment when the holy land of the sages cracked, they all vaguely guessed that this thing was related to luck.
Luck is the destiny of the human race. There is no doubt that those who are blessed with this luck will be blessed.
Therefore, all the immortal sects want to hold it in their hands, but when some people gain luck, others lose it, and the destiny of the human race will no longer be balanced.
To give a simple example, this destiny will subsequently forge an extremely powerful family in a short moment, but at the same time there will also be a plague sweeping the world.
One will gain while the other will lose, this is the inevitable outcome, so Ji You is unwilling to hand it over.
"Since there is a shattered fortune flowing out of the Holy Land of the Ancients, this incident may just be the beginning."
"Yes, this is just one of them. In the future, more luck may be lost, and then the human race will suffer a great disaster."
Zuo Qiuyang looked at Ji You while speaking: "So I would like to ask you to go to Danzong."
Ji You reached out and took back the luck: "Ask them to repair the holy land of the sages?"
"Yes, only the Dan Sect in this world can do this, but the Dan Sect has closed the mountain. Perhaps you are the only one who can enter. We must repair the holy land as soon as possible and find out what happened inside."
"But when the five major immortal sects started a massacre in Danshan for the sake of immortality, do you think they would agree?"
"This is a matter of destiny, and naturally closely related to the Dan Sect. Sect Leader Yuan knows the stakes involved."
Ji You took out a post he had written before coming here and said, "Ask the other immortal sects to sign it, and let Tianshuyuan guarantee it. I am willing to give it a try."
Zuo Qiuyang looked up at him after reading the post. "I thought you would put forward conditions, but I thought it would be taxes. I didn't expect that...Okay, give me some time. After the matter is settled, you can set off for Danzong."
"Then it's settled." Ji You didn't waste any words. After agreeing, he stood up and left.
"Ji You."
"?"
"Young Master Jian, Yuan Caiwei, and those other women... can they get along well?"
Zuo Qiuyang only confirmed today that there was true love between him and the young master of Lingjian Mountain, but according to rumors, Ji You had many fiancées.
Not to mention those in the academy, just Yuan Caiwei from Danzong has been talked about for many years.
He really couldn't imagine how Xiao Jianzhu's personality would get along with them, so he asked.
The two sisters are fine, but as for the other women... it's still just rumors for now.
Ji You muttered to himself, then couldn't help but look at him, thinking to himself, "Palace Master, how come your heart of Taoism is like gossip?"
After watching Ji You leave, Zuo Qiuyang stood on the cliff with his hands behind his back, looking deeply in the direction of the holy land of the sages.
The Chu family and others are greedy, not crazy. They cut off the luck of the human race to seize the holy weapon, and they must know how to take the luck back after they succeed.
He has already sent people to re-interrogate those people, and the most important thing now is to open the holy land of the sages and take a look at what is going on inside.
