253. Not in the world
In the year 1019 of the Wei calendar, midsummer.
Almost the entire northern realm knew that the regent of Great Wei was in a bad mood.
Because, Concubine Yuan suddenly disappeared.
Overnight, there was no trace.
Although Xia Ji is still a teenager, with a child, he feels a wonderful new connection. Now that this connection has been suddenly severed, even if it is through the Xuan, his mood is still a little fluctuating.
Now.
The royal capital, the royal palace, and the Huaqing Palace have become forbidden places.
Nothing in the palace can be moved.
Except for the one who can come in and out.
The high gate of the palace gate casts an immovable phantom shadow into it, but the shadow of the tree sways back and forth, moving appropriately, showing the tranquility and beauty of the afternoon.
Xia Ji had been sitting in this palace for three days and three nights, and after making sure that he couldn't find the concubine, he sat back here.
There was a letter spread out on the black lacquered gold coffee table, and half a heavy pendant was pressed on the letter, all of which proved that the concubine left by herself, not being kidnapped and held hostage.
What is written in the letter is bullshit.
Xia Ji almost tore up the letter.
A simple line of words: Xia Ji, farewell, don't come to me.
The regent read the nine words back and forth several times, and then turned the letter open, baked, and soaked it, trying to find the secret words hidden in it.
But none of them.
This happened without warning, which is why the regent couldn't believe it.
Suppressing his anger, he picked up another half of the pendant.
It is like a full moon that is broken and divided in half.
The material made of the pendant is not very clear, it is cold, hard, and heavy, not like jade, but biased towards the material of thousand-year-old black iron.
Crucially, the edges of this pendant are jagged, apparently broken off in one piece.
Xia Ji groped for a long time, couldn't see a name, put away the pendant and letter paper, turned around and strode out of Huaqing Palace.
At the same time, he told the guards in front of the door: "No one is allowed to enter, otherwise there will be no mercy." ”
The guards hurriedly said yes.
Xia Ji walked out of the Huaqing Palace area, stepped out, and disappeared immediately.
In the distance, in the corner of the wall, a girl with a scar on the left side of her face and a fierce temperament slowly walked out, carrying an extremely long knife diagonally.
The guards recognized the person and said respectfully: "General Cicada." ”
Han Cicada just nodded, and then looked in the direction of the regent's departure, showing a worried look.
To a certain extent, Xia Ji can be regarded as her teacher and her only relative, no matter how stubborn and strong this girl is, how can she not worry about his situation at this time.
No matter who it is, I'm afraid it's extremely tormented at the bottom of my heart at this moment.
"Huh. The chill sighed lightly, "I hope you can come out soon... As a disciple, I really don't know what I can do for you.
But if you let me know that anyone has malicious intentions towards you, then the cicada will definitely take off that person's head for you!!"
The fierce girl clenched her fists, which was considered a kind of determination.
She worked extremely hard, she always exercised until she was exhausted, and she often fainted because she exceeded her limits, if it weren't for the pill resources in the palace, I am afraid that this body would have collapsed long ago.
All she did and asked for was to become stronger, because she still had something on her mind.
The regent she was concerned about was already standing at the foot of Wangxiang Mountain, at the intersection of the Qilin Temple.
The name of the unicorn manifestation has long been spread, the incense is prosperous, and the tourists are endless.
The abbot named Yun Lin became famous again, and even established friendship with many temples of the Perak Sect.
Then again, can this name not come out?
The golden unicorn wants incense, and the new god naturally has to be diligent when he takes office.
Jin Yao Taibai Qiu Weiyang is offered as a living bodhisattva by the entire Qilin Temple, so she will also respond to divination from time to time, doing some small things for mortals to point blessings and misfortunes and cut off opportunities.
This kind of trivial matter has nothing to do with heaven, and it is not a big deal.
The two sides are superimposed, making this Qilin Temple really a fairy temple.
Tongxuan Immortals are too far away for mortals, so far away that they are just a concept.
But this unicorn manifestation is real.
The mountain road with nine turns and eight bends is casting rich shadows of trees, coming and going back with the cool breeze in the mountains.
Visitors talk and laugh and walk on the stone steps.
The shadows of people and trees are entangled, and the shadows of the mountains are huge, which are relatively reflective, and show the meaning of majestic and insignificant.
In the crowd, a young man in ordinary clothes and with a mediocre appearance stepped forward, like the most ordinary pilgrim.
In the noisy hall of tourists, he stepped forward and inserted a stick of incense, and then looked at the unicorn statue for a long time without saying a word.
The little novice next to him looked at everyone, and if he didn't give him money for incense, he would show a cold look, and if he gave it to him, he would smile slightly, which was a blessing.
Seeing that the young man had not moved for a long time, and he didn't look like he had brought incense money, Xiao Shami couldn't help frowning, and was about to step forward and sneer according to the number of roads.
It's a big temple in the Qilin Temple, but you come to worship the Qilin but you are so insincere... Then it's no wonder he's gone.
The little novice was only halfway through when the abbot was walking out of the inner sanctum with a great good man smiling.
The abbot is silent and sees the four roads with his eyes and listens to all directions.
His gaze swept over the pilgrims in the hall as usual, and then swept to the little novice who was watching the temple.
Seeing the appearance of the little novice, the abbot knew that he was going to find someone to trouble.
The unicorn is merciful, but it is only merciful to those who are sincere, and as for those who are not sincere, they need people like the little novice to teach them a lesson.
As the abbot of the big temple, Yun Lin naturally has a sense of superiority overlooking the world from the clouds.
I'm a monk who has a connection with the true god of the unicorn and the female bodhisattva, and I'm the spokesperson of the gods in the world.
His gaze hid a kind of modest arrogance, and he casually swept the direction in which the little novice was walking.
Then, Yun Lin saw the boy who was burning incense.
I saw that unremarkable face.
Yun Lin couldn't believe his eyes, he rubbed them desperately, this time he saw the face clearly, and also saw the ordinary clothes that the young man was wearing, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and a feeling of frightening urine came from the bottom of his heart.
He couldn't care about the great good man next to him anymore, and he didn't have time to stop the little novice, so he hurriedly roared: "Roundness!!"
The little novice was stunned.
Yun Lonely yelled, "Sweep the floor!"
Little Novice: ???
Could this be the abbot reminding himself?
Yun Lonely said loudly: "Sweep for a year!"
Little Novice: ...
The surrounding pilgrims are sighing that this Qilin Temple is really extraordinary, this momentum can simply make people have an epiphany.
"Is the abbot igniting the little novice?"
"Ah, maybe, after all, there are many examples of epiphany. ”
King Kong roared angrily, breaking his attachment and meditating, he didn't expect to be able to see it here, worthy of being the abbot of the Qilin Temple. ”
Tourists praised it, both men and women, old and young.
Except for the young man who seemed to be in the midst of all the hustle and bustle, he sincerely put on a stick of incense, looked up at the unicorn statue, and prayed silently.
But...
This golden unicorn is his family, is he so useful?
Perhaps, it is just a meditation.
Yun Lonely didn't dare to disturb him, this young man came in ordinary clothes, maybe he just didn't want to be recognized, he stepped forward to break it, it was looking for death...
Silently looked at a pillar of fragrance, gradually blurring in front of him.
Xia Ji took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and walked to the back of the golden unicorn.
With one step, he disappeared in place.
The Dragon Qi Secret Realm of Tianya Mansion.
Qiu Weiyang is very happy to develop.
She had already mastered the Tenth Banner, perhaps because of the secret Heavenly Dao, and the special star she found that she could communicate with was really Jin Yao.
This seems to have its own providence in the dark.
Qiu Weiyang had already restrained his heart to recruit four more stars, after all, Xia Ji had tried, and the young disciples of those hexagrams were not fools, so they refused to come.
In this way, Qiu Weiyang didn't force it, and after the big deal, he called himself "one of the five stars" outside, and said that the other four gods were mysterious and secret, and they rarely appeared, maybe it could increase the world's sense of awe for the small hexagram.
Well, Wuyao Xing is just her...
The rest depends on fate.
Xia Ji found the female bodhisattva of this Qilin Temple, and said straightforwardly: "Help me count where I went alone." ”
Then, he took out the letter, along with half a pendant, "This is what she left behind." ”
Qiu Weiyang took it and walked to a stone platform with a pressed edge, and then ten flags were waved out of his sleeves and planted into gossip, while the other two floated in the air and hovered around her.
On the flag, a mysterious, hopeless star pattern emerges, which is dazzling.
Xia Ji stood outside, although he couldn't learn this method, he probably understood:
Everything is connected to Skynet, and the diviner can explore through this connection.
The connection is not simple.
Skynets aren't just fishing nets, either.
There are spatial connections, temporal connections, causal connections, all sorts of things...
Skynet is a multi-layered and incomparably complex web.
And the more powerful the hexagram master, the more he can calculate.
Qiu Weiyang eats the resources of the entire hexagram alone, if she doesn't develop fast, it will be a waste.
Maybe at the age of nineteen, a girl who becomes the core intern of the hexagram, how can it be simple?
Now...
Her eyes suddenly showed a mysterious "witch", and her pupils gave people a feeling of sparkling and floating.
A green silk automatically spreads out towards the surroundings without wind.
And the gossip flags are also divided into eight directions, which seem to communicate with the Skynet of all directions.
Slowly...
She pointed to half of the pendant and the letterhead.
I closed my eyes and fell into a kind of immersion.
It depends on the temperament if it's not powerful, the little round face now gives people the feeling that she is a master, which is so big that you can ignore that she is a little round face...
Xia Ji had some confidence in her.
He waited quietly.
A strange sense of anxiety suddenly appeared, as if some cracks had appeared in his state of mind.
These rifts were the ones he couldn't dig up before...
Now that he has the true intention of fear, he can easily mend these rifts, or suppress them, and make his state of mind more indestructible, but what about the wayward concubine who doesn't say goodbye, and the child in her womb?
At this time.
In the unknowable gray world.
On an abyssal river, an elegant woman stepped on a huge yellow curly leaf with a slightly bulging lower abdomen.
The water has no waves, and there are no traces.
The withered yellow curly leaves drifted with the waves, and the lonely figure of the woman gradually disappeared.
There is no trace of water waves in the vast blackness, and it seems to be a starless and moonless night sky.
The graceful woman stepped on the night sky, gently touched her lower abdomen, and murmured, "I'm sorry, Xia Ji, but this is the only way." ”
The leaves are falling away, and in the infinite darkness, it seems as if they never existed.
Wei State, Tianya Mansion, Dragon Qi Secret Realm.
Jin Yao Taibai opened his eyes, his expression was weak, his hair was soaked, as if he had just become a chicken in soup during heavy rain.
Xia Ji looked at her quietly, "Where did she go?"
Jin Yao's body trembled, frowning as if he didn't know what to say.
Xia Ji said: "It's okay to say it directly!"
Qiu Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief, a pair of tired but clean eyes looked at the regent, hesitated slightly, and then said softly eight words: "What the prince is looking for is not in the world." ”
