Chapter 388 Damn human yellow hair!
There is the Chu family, the ruins, Lingjian Mountain, and even the Dan Sect.
Too many complex and extensive factors have been brought together, making them too complicated to distinguish, and there are not many direct correlations between them, leaving everyone confused.
Why did the demons, who risked arousing suspicion among the barbarians, come to the human race and investigate so much redundant information?
In the inner courtyard of Tianshu Academy, everyone was thinking hard and frowning because they couldn't guess the intentions of the demons. They thought to themselves, damn it, could it be that the demons are smarter than humans?
Similarly, the investigation on the demon clan side was not going smoothly.
Because in the minds of humans, they are invaders after all, so it is normal for them to be treated with caution.
Moreover, the specific details of the thousand-year-old families joining forces to commit evil, in fact, except for the top leaders of the six major immortal sects themselves, basically not much information is disclosed publicly.
Why?
The reason why the Chu, Li, Zhuang, Zhu and other aristocratic families can so easily ascend to immortality with the help of the relics is that the Immortal Sect was deceived into opening the relics because they were greedy for the immortal opportunity. This is a loss of dignity for the Immortal Sect.
If too many details were disclosed, the prestige of the Immortal Sect would definitely be greatly reduced.
This is not alarmist. Isn't the Danzong incident the best example?
Ever since the news of the five major immortal sects joining forces to besiege Danshan spread, those aristocratic families have become very cautious, some going into seclusion, some locking their doors.
This was a heavy blow to the stability of Qingyun Tianxia, and cultivation required a stable environment to concentrate on enlightenment. Disunity was what the Immortal Sect least wanted to see.
So on the one hand it was because of the human race’s vigilance, and on the other hand there was not much public information, so their investigation into the human race’s destiny once reached a bottleneck.
As night slowly fell, the lanterns in Shengjing Fairy Garden were lit one by one.
Ye Han, Lin Dou and Ya Shan sat in the study, thinking for a long time about the scraps of information they had collected, their brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"Among the people we can contact, there are very few who are close to the core of this matter. Even those who have followed the Immortal Sect to conquer those thousand-year-old families are not clear about the ins and outs."
"This isn't surprising. There's a widely circulated saying among humans: 'It's rare to be ignorant.' Their culture makes them unwilling to seek the truth, and they'll force it wherever possible."
"So what should we do?"
"Time is running out. Keep collecting relevant information. Maybe there will be other clues."
Ye Han picked up the teacup, drank the tea in the cup, and then looked at Lin Dou: "How are you and Feng Yang getting along?"
Lin Dou raised his head and said, "Yes, we went to the human race's teahouse to watch a play together today."
"Has she been going out often these days?"
"Well, she seems to be very interested in the female cultivators of the human race's immortal sects. She even wrote down quite a few names, such as Yan Shuyi, Yuan Caiwei, etc."
Ye Han has come to the human race more times than others, especially the last time he came for trade and was welcomed, so he knows a lot about the human race's geniuses.
He knew who Yan Shuyi was and where Yuan Caiwei came from. More importantly, he had heard rumors about the Taoist Forum in recent days and knew the subtle relationship between the two.
Recalling the portrait he had seen in Fengyang's room, the demon prince fell silent instantly.
Lin Dou didn't know why he was silent and asked him what was wrong, but Ye Han just told him to get along well with Feng Yang, and then asked them to go down and rest first.
As the sky was filled with stars, the night gradually deepened, and the candles in Shengjing Fairy Garden went out one by one, except for the study, which remained lit.
Ye Han was still at his desk, studying the information he had collected over and over again.
Soon, the door was gently pushed open from the outside.
The Demon Prince looked up and saw his sister Feng Yang stepping in from outside the room: "It's already midnight, brother, why aren't you going to bed yet?"
"The Emperor of Daxia has issued an edict, stating that he will summon us for a second audience tomorrow. I previously proposed that Yunzhou be made our inherent territory and that my people be allowed to join the Immortal Sect to cultivate. They will probably respond tomorrow."
Ye Han unhooked his sleeves from the documents on his desk. "According to diplomatic mission rules, regardless of whether they agree or not, we must leave within three days of the audience, so time is running out."
Feng Yang nodded, then walked slowly to the desk, extinguished the lantern he had picked up, and placed it next to the desk.
Seeing this, Ye Han picked up the upside-down teacup, turned it over, filled it with tea, and handed it to him: "Have you been wandering around Shengjing City frequently in recent days?"
"I looked around." Feng Yang responded softly with his lips pursed.
Ye Han stared at his sister for a long time before suddenly speaking, "Lin Dou is quite good, both in terms of family background and talent. However, we demons don't place as much emphasis on family background as humans do. If you like any demon general, my father and I will support him."
"dislike."
"Then choose Lin Dou."
Feng Yang had been staring at the documents on the table. Upon hearing this, his beautiful pupils suddenly raised. "The Chu family used the origin of the sacred artifact to perform a sacrifice, finding the connection between the Heavenly Dao and the sacred artifact, thus making the sacred artifact lose its power. What do you think of this idea, big brother?"
Ye Han was slightly startled, then he lowered his head to look at the case file in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he looked up and asked: "Follow the clues?"
"Indeed, they use the Origin as a vine, which is why they are able to find the connection between the Heavenly Dao and the Sacred Artifact and then sever it. The human race's behavior patterns usually make them repeat things, because things they have accomplished before are the simplest and most likely to succeed."
"What does my sister want to say?"
Feng Yang pointed at a section of the case file. "After the Qiling incident, the Immortal Sect sealed off all the ruins. Those noble families were unable to bypass them and open the ruins. The only way was to ask the Immortal Sect to help them open the ruins. To do that, they needed to be able to bring the Immortal Fate out of the ruins. Did anything major happen before that?"
Ye Han picked up the case file again and glanced through it. "Yes, a year before the incident, the Heavenly Dao had predicted that floods would fall and that earth dragons would frequently rise up. This was shortly after the human cultivators entered the holy land of the ancient sages."
"So the disaster started from that time, otherwise the Heavenly Dao would not have sent down the revelation."
"You mean, the Sage Holy Land is related to the Immortal Sect suddenly opening the ruins?"
"Yes, I heard during my travels these past few days that the people of the human race's immortal sect showed signs of a rapid increase in their cultivation over a year ago. If we follow this logic, what's the explanation?"
Ye Han pondered for a long time before his eyes fixed. "They followed the sages' holy land and severed the connection between the human race's destiny and the Heavenly Dao, thus causing the Heavenly Dao to lose its supervision over the human world, allowing the immortal fate to be taken away?"
Feng Yang nodded: "So the destiny of the human race was cut off by themselves."
"But the Holy Land of the Ancients is a closed space. Even if the luck is cut off, it shouldn't be lost. I believe this was also the purpose of the ancient sages of the human race in establishing the Holy Land. Why would it be torn apart later?"
"I don't know about that."
Ye Han spread out all the case files on the table and reviewed them according to his sister's ideas, and his mind gradually became clearer.
He found that his sister was right. The thousand-year-old family wanted to tempt the immortal sect to open the ruins. The only way was to allow the immortal fate in the ruins to be taken out. To do this, they had to cut off the supervision of the heaven over the human world.
My father once said that the Way of Heaven is not subjective, and it cannot change the cause and effect of the human world. The only thing it can do is to monitor things that should not be retained by connecting with the destiny of the human race.
"Brother."
"Um?"
Feng Yang put down the teacup in his hand and said, "After meeting the Emperor of Daxia tomorrow, I want to go to the Tianshuyuan for a walk."
Ye Han slowly raised his head after hearing this: "What's so good about Tianshuyuan? It's just a bunch of people sitting in the mountains, practicing without caring about worldly affairs."
"I'm quite interested in the human race's method of enlightenment and cultivation."
"Some of the noble families that secretly traded spirit stones with us actually welcomed us. It's the same as visiting them as a guest."
Feng Yang blinked slightly: "After all, immortal sects and aristocratic families are different, and the Heavenly Academy is relatively closer."
Ye Han was silent for a long time before he smiled and said, "Okay, I will raise this request with the Emperor of Daxia during the audience tomorrow."
"Thank you, brother."
"Go and rest first."
Feng Yang nodded, then slowly stood up and walked out the door.
Watching his sister leave through the window, Ye Han gradually restrained his smile.
The demon tribe has many classic stories about matters between men and women. One of them tells the story of a young man from the hair tribe who seduced an innocent girl from the scale tribe to elope, and the story that he did not return until she became pregnant has been widely circulated.
The Mao boy in the story was not a man of his job, but he was good at sweet talk. He planned to elope because he could not afford the bride price.
After the elopement, the girl's family was naturally heartbroken and cried day and night waiting for her son to come back.
It was not until her daughter came back with the doll that the family saw that she was pale and thin, with even the scales on her body having lost their luster, that they realized how much she had suffered.
The young man from the Mao tribe was remembered by the demon tribe because of his yellow hair and was regarded as the image of someone who stole his father or brother's treasure.
Damn the yellow-haired human! Ye Han slammed the case file in his hand onto the desk.
"The demon race is coming to visit our Tianshu Academy?"
"Yes, it is said that they proposed it during the audience, saying that if our Tianshu Academy allows it, we will go up the mountain in the afternoon."
At noon the next day, a gentle breeze passed through the hall, bringing a surge of freshness.
At that time, Zuo Qiuyang was still reviewing the information that the demon clan had collected in the past few days. When he was puzzled, he heard the report from the Office of Administration and couldn't help but frown.
He was confused about the demon clan's purpose, and the fact that the demon clan suddenly wanted to visit Tianshuyuan made him feel even more confused.
What could the demons possibly plot against the Heavenly Academy?
Seeing Zuo Qiuyang's frown, Qin Rong couldn't help but whisper, "If it's not possible, I'll refuse it right away."
"No need, let them come. Since the consensus is to disintegrate the alliance between the Barbarians and the Demons, befriending our Tianshu Academy will have a far greater impact than befriending Daxia."
"Yes, I will order my disciples to deliver the message."
After Qin Rong finished speaking, he walked down the mountain, but when he was halfway there, he couldn't help but slow down his pace.
Because on the mountain road ahead, Ji You was yawning as he came over. When he saw Qin Rong, he gently bowed and said, "Long time no see."
"It's been a while. Are you here to look for Palace Master Zuoqiu?"
"I have something to ask you. Is he in the temple?"
Manager Qin nodded and said, "The Palace Master is in the palace. You can go directly there."
After hearing this, Ji You bowed and said goodbye to him, then went up the mountain.
Seeing this scene, Qin Rong couldn't help but look back, thinking that he was probably the only one in Tianshu Academy who could enter and leave the Immortal Palace of Tianshu Academy without any notification.
At this time, Ji You had reached the top of the mountain and entered the white lawn in front of the Zizai Palace.
In the few days since he returned to Beijing, he had been reading about the realm of enlightenment in the library, sorting out the relationship between the five upper realms and deducing the realm of the physical body.
Now he planned to find Zuo Qiuyang, who had reached perfection in the upper five realms, to talk about the follow-up from his own perspective and to find some evidence of his breakthrough.
Zuo Qiuyang had already heard footsteps at this time. He looked outside and found that it was Ji You coming, so he ordered the disciples in the hall to serve tea.
Ever since the day Ji You came back, he realized that Ji You was preparing for the next realm, so he was not surprised that he came to see him, and he also had a rough idea of the questions he wanted to ask.
As expected, after entering the hall, Ji You spoke frankly and asked about the information above the divine journey.
"Among the five upper realms, the Fusion to Boundless Realm all rely on the power of the Heavenly Dao to cultivate. By understanding the Heavenly Dao and understanding the operation of the laws, one can achieve profound enlightenment. However, the Wandering Divine Realm is the first time that the mind and the body are separated, reaching a level where the mind can be free of the physical body."
"As for the perfection of the upper five realms, it is to further reduce the connection between the two, allowing the divine consciousness to achieve independent perfection and reduce its dependence on the physical body."
"According to all of Qingyun's immortal theories, the human body is subject to the limitations of the world, will age, and will die, but the spirit can theoretically exist forever, so this is an important step before ascension."
"When one reaches the immortal realm, one's spirit can truly separate from the body and remain forever. Even if the body crumbles, the spirit remains and can still roam the world."
"According to ancient records, the descendants of a thousand years ago did not need the aid of a sacred artifact to ascend. However, you are probably also familiar with the situation of our human race. Without the blessing of a sacred artifact, reaching perfection in the upper five realms would be the end. I also had doubts about this, and Master said that this was the last resort of Heaven."
Ever since his master told him and You Yingqiu before his death that they could see Ji You when they were in doubt, Zuo Qiuyang had completely trusted Ji You, so he told him everything he knew.
Hearing Zuo Qiuyang's words, Ji You nodded slightly, thinking that cultivation is a process of spiritual practice in which the soul escapes from the physical body and ascends to a higher dimension, which is consistent with what he speculated based on his collection of books.
Conversely, physical cultivation is likely to bind the physical body and spiritual consciousness more tightly.
The unity of body and soul...
He had said before that he had no intention of ascending to heaven, so this was not a problem for him.
"Does Palace Master Zuoqiu have any suggestions for my realm advancement?"
"With my traditional cultivation of enlightenment, I cannot give you an answer regarding the cultivation of the physical body. As far as I know, the only cultivation method similar to yours is the Night Watchman inheritance of my Tianshu Academy."
Ji You's eyes flickered after hearing this: "Night Watchmen, that sounds new. Is there anything in their heritage that I can learn from?"
Zuo Qiuyang shook his head: "They are different from you. The Night Watch's inheritance is the dual cultivation of enlightenment and physical training, not the serious deviation from the truth like you have done."
"Are they practicing both Taoism and body cultivation?"
"Yes, I happened to see a document a few days ago when I was sorting through Master's collection of books, and it did contain this record."
After hearing this, Ji You pondered for a while: "Since the Palace Master mentioned that the Night Watchman's inheritance allows for the dual cultivation of Taoism and body, why has no one inherited this cultivation method?"
Zuo Qiuyang smiled upon hearing this: "The Night Watch's body training method is different from any existing method in the world. It is said that there will be a significant difference from the lower three realms. It is a little-known practice method. It is said that the conditions are very strict and not everyone can do it."
Hearing these words, Ji You thought of his spiritual essence that was shattered like a lotus.
The only method of cultivating immortals that he had access to back then was the half volume of the book he picked up in the mountains. He had no other reference and could only practice step by step according to the records.
After his spiritual essence was shattered, he thought he had practiced incorrectly, but now it seems that this is the unique practice method of the Night Watchmen, which requires cultivators to tear their spiritual essence into pieces when they have perfected the lower three realms, in order to lay the foundation for the subsequent spiritual fire body forging.
From the hour of Si to the hour of Wu, Ji You talked with Zuo Qiuyang for an hour, and only said goodbye to him when he had no more questions to ask.
"You want to return to the Holy Land of the Sages to continue your breakthrough?"
"I'll go see Instructor Cao and some of my senior brothers and sisters first, and then I'll go back."
"Why not stay in Tianshuyuan for a few more days?"
"If we delay any longer, the Holy Land of the Ancients will be repaired. Where can I find free spiritual essence for free..."
"?"
After Ji You stood up, he clasped his fists towards Zuo Qiuyang and then headed towards the inner courtyard.
Just as he was leaving, Qin, the head of the office, came hurriedly and reported that the demon tribe had arrived at the Nishan Sacred Road.
Seeing this, Zuo Qiuyang looked at the cloth roll with circles and dots, then ordered Qin Rong to invite several elders from the Elders' Pavilion, and then he floated down the mountain and flew to the outer courtyard.
Sometimes it is difficult to figure out the other person's intentions, so the best way is to actually reach out to them. This is a more intuitive way.
As he appeared in the outer courtyard, the disciples of the Heavenly Academy also gathered near the White Jade Platform of Ascension, and even the two sides of the Green Water Lake were filled with disciples.
Whether out of comparison, hatred, or concern for the future of the human race, they all have a sense of scrutiny towards the demon royal family.
At the same time, the demon delegation had already reached the sacred road.
Ye Han was dressed in a green silk robe and a red silk shirt, with a purple jade crown on his head. He looked elegant yet a little arrogant.
Lin Dou and Ya Shan wore the same clothes. The former had a slender figure, while the latter had a broad and heavy body. Both had cold and arrogant expressions.
The most eye-catching one is the demon princess who has attracted much attention for her appearance and figure after entering the capital.
Feng Yang was wearing an exceptionally beautiful bright yellow dress today. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with auspicious clouds and snow-capped mountains. She also had a crown on her head. With her crimson vertical pupils, her exotic beauty was extremely eye-catching.
Even though the disciples of Tianshu Academy were hostile to the demon race, they still did not hesitate to praise them.
"Palace Master Zuoqiu."
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I wonder how you've been enjoying your time in Shengjing these past few days?"
Ye Han bowed with human etiquette, "Humans and demons share a lot in common culturally. This is something I discovered the last time I came here. This is perhaps the best evidence that demons and humans once lived together in Jiuzhou."
Zuo Qiuyang smiled indifferently and did not respond directly, while the elders behind him had cold expressions on their faces, thinking that the evil intentions of this demon clan were really everywhere.
A simple greeting concealed a tit-for-tat meaning, which made both parties stare blankly.
The only person who was absent from the conversation was Princess Fengyang.
She did not pay attention to what her brother said to the palace master in front of her, but kept looking around, looking at the white jade immortal platform, the enlightenment field, the clear water lake, and the elegant garden by the lake.
In her sight, everything seemed to match the stories she had heard and became traceable.
She looked from the east side of the Bishui Lake to the west side, and as she looked, two figures on the distant mountain path suddenly came into her sight.
It was a young man with long hair tied up, chatting with an older man with big breasts.
During the chat, the young man tried to take something from the other person's arms several times, but was stopped by the fat man with a vigilant look on his face.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yang's eyelashes suddenly trembled, his eyes widened slightly, and his cherry-pink lips subconsciously opened slightly.
She didn't come to see him. She had just been looking around following his footsteps all the way, not wanting to see him.
While she was stunned, the two people in her sight patted each other's shoulders, as if saying goodbye, and then the fat man went up the mountain, while the young man who was locked in her eyes walked towards her.
"You are guests from afar. You have come to visit my Tian Academy specially. I believe you have some advice for me."
"Palace Master Zuoqiu is serious. We have long admired the Heavenly Academy and wanted to visit out of curiosity. We have no particular purpose."
"Why don't you come to my hall first and let the elders introduce it to you, and then you can browse around at your leisure."
"That would be great."
Ye Han bowed to Zuo Qiuyang who had made the invitation, and then planned to leave with him.
But before he took a step, he caught a glimpse of his sister still standing there, as if she was in a daze.
At the same time, Lin Dou, Ya Shan, Zuo Qiuyang and the elders behind him also turned around and saw that the demon princess had a pair of pointed ears slightly erected among her hair, and her cheeks gradually turned red.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Qiuyang and the elders behind him looked at each other, and immediately looked in the direction Princess Fengyang was staring, and instantly saw Ji You.
After a slight pause, they looked at the demon princess again, their eyes filled with surprise and a hint of thoughtfulness.
At that time, Ji You had just finished chatting with Cao Jinsong and was crossing the Bishui Lake to go down the mountain. As he walked, he suddenly found that many people around him were looking at him.
So he raised his head and looked around, and soon saw the group of figures standing on the white jade platform of ascension.
He had been to the Snow Region four years ago. It had been a long time since then, but he still recognized the demon princess who had given him acupuncture at a glance.
So as he stared at him, Ji You bowed slightly as a greeting.
Feng Yang quickly came back to his senses and bowed to him. Then he raised his cold and distant eyes, glanced at him lightly, and walked away with his brother, as if he had just met an old friend whom he had never thought of again.
Ji You was not surprised by this. He watched him leave and then walked down the mountain.
Feng Yang treated him well in the Snow Region, but that was basically out of the professional attitude of a doctor towards a patient. In fact, she had no good feelings towards the human delegation at that time, so even in the friendly state of mutual trade, the princess did not see her off when she left, so they could not even be considered friends.
So even though he knew that the demon clan was in the capital, he never thought of meeting them specifically.
He naturally regarded Feng Yang as a friend of a friend, and he also appreciated her unwillingness to start a war, but this did not necessarily mean that the other party also wanted to be friends with you.
It was just a chance encounter. If you deliberately pretend to be an old friend and go to meet him, it would definitely not be polite, but a disturbance.
Fortunately, Kuang Cheng did not talk nonsense, otherwise he might really have his head chopped off.
Under the clear sky and the faint mountain breeze, the demon delegation followed Zuo Qiuyang up the mountain.
Just as he stepped onto the slope, Feng Yang, who had been neither sad nor happy, suddenly looked back without warning and secretly glanced at the figure coming down the mountain.
