Chapter 34 The Shadow of the Ancestors
Yan Kaiting's figure slowly floated into the air, reached out to hold the jade, and gently rubbed it in his palm. After a few moments, he fell back to the ground, leaving the jade in its place.
Yan Kaiting looked around the room, and then typed a summons outside. After a while, Li Liang and a few other chiefs hurriedly came.
Yan Kaiting pointed out some of the books on the shelves to them and instructed them to carefully take them down and pack them, which also included a few valuable jade tablets.
When the bookshelves were half empty after a period of chaos, Yan Kaiting felt refreshed when he looked at it, and waved his hand to the elders: "You guys are out of the people, send the things to the Hu manager." Don't say much, just put it down and leave, if he doesn't take it, throw it at his door. ”
The elders were confused, but they had long been accustomed to this master not playing cards according to common sense, and Yan Kaiting's instructions were clear enough, just follow it.
After everyone had withdrawn, Yan Kaiting glanced at Li Liang, who was still grinding at the door, and said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it?"
Li Liang looked at the instantly empty bookshelf, and said with a sad face: "Master, these are all good things, so I gave it to the one surnamed Hu?!"
Yan Kaiting said neatly: "What you don't like is garbage." Say something! Get out if it's okay!"
Li Liang subconsciously turned around, and saw that the door had been closed, so he was not very relieved, walked two steps, approached Yan Kaiting and said, "Master, do you know that there is a noble person living in the guest courtyard now?"
Yan Kaiting narrowed his eyes.
Li Liang said smoothly: "I heard that it is from the south, one of the two most powerful craftsmen, the young master of the 'Yetian Workshop'. Qi Xiong's old guy is not a thing, a distinguished guest of such an identity came to the mansion, and he actually received it himself! Master, you can't just let him show his face, otherwise people outside won't know what the surname of 'Tiangong Kaiwu' is!"
Yan Kaiting glanced at him, "News from you." Don't run around all day long, haven't you eaten enough of the white eyes of those big stewards, and the guest house is also a place where you can go?"
Li Liang didn't care, and said happily: "Hey, don't worry, of course I act honestly and step on the rules, no, I step on the rules! It's my friend, what does her brother's little lady's neighbor send to the outer yard...... South goods are coming......"
Yan Kaiting had a headache when he heard this twisted relationship, and interrupted him: "Okay, I know." ”
Li Liang immediately retreated with a look in his eyes, and as soon as he walked to the door, Yan Kaiting stopped him again and said: "The blood tide has appeared, it is estimated that we will be fully prepared for war tomorrow, you don't go out on duty, stay in the mansion honestly, don't move around, and tell them a few words." ”
Li Liang answered yes and withdrew.
Yan Kaiting walked to the bookshelf, picked up the remaining books and jade books one by one, flipped through them, and then arranged them neatly. I don't know how long it took to pack up, and finally put the last volume away.
Yan Kaiting suddenly remembered at this time that he hadn't reported to Xia Pingsheng about discovering those outsiders tonight, so he took out a summons and wrote a few words about seeing the "Flower God Temple" Xiang Yao, the "Seven-Step Miasma" Jiang Hui, and the "Cloud Catcher" Luo Dong.
This rune will be left on the gate of Xia Pingsheng's cave mansion, and he will see it as soon as he comes out tomorrow morning.
After doing all this, President Yan Kai stretched his waist, leaned back in the chair, and closed his eyes to recuperate. I fell asleep unconsciously.
Surrounded by mahogany, Yan Kaiting slept very deeply and calmly. When he woke up, he jumped up with a "snort", and his neck hurt so much that it seemed like it was about to fall off!
Yan Kaiting kneaded and pinched for a while, constantly shaking his head, and finally moved the muscles and bones that were almost stiffened. He turned his head to look out the window, and his eyes sank.
The sky outside the window is neither gray nor white, and it is indescribably weird.
Yan Kaiting didn't rush to open the door and go out to see what was going on. He first pulled the center of the circle in this room out of the half-space, dripped it into his own blood, and obtained the permission to modify it.
At this moment, he realized that in order to completely control this magic circle, only blood was not enough, and he also had to add the breath of the Red Sun Earth Fire to activate it.
In the end, Yan Kaiting stared at a rudder-like figure that appeared in the void for a long time, summoned "Tai Chu" out of the sea of knowledge, kept it the same size as the rudder axis, and tentatively put it on.
The rudder immediately spun around.
Yan Kaiting couldn't help but suddenly, vaguely guessing why the magic circle of the wooden house had not been transformed for so many years.
The original authority to Junsheng should be the authorization given by Yanmu, and the power is estimated to be the top-level level, not only can it fully operate the magic circle, but it can also be authorized externally, but the magic circle itself cannot be changed. However, if you can't transform the magic circle, you can't exclude the Yan family's bones and blood from entering.
Thinking about it this way, the magic circle at the core of the main mansion workshop should be the same, so Yan Kaiting can come and go freely in those heavy places.
Faced with such an ancestral remnant, Yan Kaiting had mixed feelings in his heart. He remembered that he had asked Xia Pingsheng, what is cause and effect?
All things above the spiritual level on the continent, whether they are man-made weapons and weapons, or naturally bred spiritual objects like the red sun and earth fire, or even all creatures with Dao seeds, there is cause and effect.
That's a very mysterious thing.
This is not to say that simply killing living beings will invite cause and effect. Rather, it is necessary to achieve the contract of cause and effect, so that there will be both influence and repercussion.
The most common is the contract of the Taoist couple. This is much more influential than the ordinary relationship between husband and wife, and it has a direct effect on the person who has signed the contract.
The contract of the Taoist couple means that from now on, on the path of the Tao, one will be prosperous and the other will wither, and the cause and effect will not be cut off until death. Therefore, among the monks, there are many husbands and wives and few Taoist couples. Not many people have the courage to put the entire future of the avenue in the hands of others.
There is also the deed of spirits. Just like the iconic "Chiyang Earth Fire" of "Heavenly Creation", after being subdued by the ancestors of the Yan family, it is essentially a contract with the blood of the Yan family. Another spirit soldier like the "Taichu Hammer", once it is refined into a life weapon, it is a contract with the natal cultivator.
Although the contract of the spirit is not as serious as the contract of the Taoist couple, it is also a great cause and effect that will affect life and death. To put it bluntly, it is the murderer who snatches the treasure to bear the cause and effect of breaking the contract.
That cause and effect may be that the murderer was unable to form a contract with the spirit treasure, but instead cheapened others. It may also be that although the spiritual treasure was obtained from tossing and turning, the cultivator was not stained with blood, but the residual cause and effect magnified a certain promotion obstacle, and the result was a card for many years. It is more likely that when he was in danger, Lingbao inexplicably caused the murderer and suffered the cause and effect on behalf of others.
In this way, although it is the norm for monks to grab resources and kill people and grab treasures, when it comes to robbing treasures above the spirit level with masters, people will be cautious.
To forcibly cut off the spirit contract of others, first of all, we must consider whether it can be broken clean, how much cause and effect we have to bear, and secondly, after the spirit is lost, it will be completely awakened, and we must also consider whether it can be subdued.
In this way, the qualified starters must at least be real people, and they can't be very watery. In contrast, the cause and effect of forcibly breaking the contract will have to endure, and a monk with a bit of a future might as well explore the secret realm by himself, subdue the ownerless spirit, and create his own suitable weapon.
And when Yan Kaiting asked Xia Pingsheng what cause and effect was, he had just formed a contract with "Taichu".
Xia Pingsheng's explanation is that the road is difficult and dangerous, and there is no one who sharpens the achievement.
If there is no bottom line of rules, blindly the strong live and the weak die, and plunder without scruples, then the nascent Dao species that originally had the potential to ascend to the floating map may not survive to grow. In the long run, it is complete destruction.
The cause and effect of breaking the contract can be seen as Jianmu's constraint on Kyushu, the protection of ungrown seeds, and the instinct of Shenmu to give birth to all things and grow endlessly.
The rudder of the ship rotating in the air finally stopped, the Taichu hammer fell back into Yan Kaiting's hand, and the magic circle of the entire study house was also reset.
Yan Kaiting retracted his thoughts, returned the center of the magic circle in order, pulled the silk on his head, covered the brilliance of the weeping thorns, and then walked out of the door.
The sun did not rise to-day, and the whole sky was no longer the brick red of last night, but completely leaden gray, like clouds on the eve of a rainstorm that fell heavily over the city.
But under such a haze, the sky is not dim, the world is bright, except that there is no familiar sunlight, and it is still not mistaken for daytime.
This is the second anomalous celestial phenomenon after the Blood Tide, which means that the space of this land is being affected from outside the realm. How long can the world barrier last before cracks appear, and the size of the cracks are closely related to the severity of the monsters.
The whole city has woken up from its sleep and is engaged in the intense preparation for the battle, and the atmosphere is inevitably a little oppressive, and even the noise in the streets is much lower than usual.
Yan Kaiting's divine sense expanded, and found that Xia Pingsheng should have received his summons from last night, but did not reply to the message. So Yan Kaiting didn't bother him, and went back to his yard to freshen up, change clothes, and have breakfast.
The order of the City Lord's Mansion reached the Yan Mansion before noon, and with it came a bunch of customary information.
Yan Kaiting didn't care about anything else, he only took the roster of the strong people who assisted in defense and looked at it.
There is no name of "Flower Temple" on it, but the "Beiluo Peak Twin Heroes" are above, and there are several strong people from the west of the black water who are listed with their names.
In addition, they are all some little-known loose cultivators, most of whom have not reached the realm of the Guru, they should have just traveled through Yujing, the destination is still far away, and they are not in a hurry, and they don't want to run to the wasteland in the "magic moment", relatively speaking, the city is much safer.
Yan Kaiting couldn't see anything else, so he sent another summons to Xia Pingsheng.
This time, he received a reply after a while, Xia Pingsheng had finished counting the people to be taken away in the front yard, and told him to take care of himself.
Yan Kaiting pinched the echo of the shape of the paper crane, and he didn't know what he was expecting for a while.
Speaking of which, it was the first time he had participated in the battle against demons.
The last time Yujing City had a "demon moment" was five years ago, when Yan was sixteen years old when the court opened, just reaching the age when he could participate in the war. However, he had been merging with Taichu for less than a year, and the after-effects of the night of the ancestral hall were extremely serious, and he was often awakened by the noise of fire and killing at night.
In the end, Yan Kaiting only stayed in Yanfu and supported the neighborhood. However, the main mansion magic circle of "Heavenly Creation" is so powerful, it is better than the large array of the city, but as a result, I only saw the shadows of a few monsters, and I didn't touch them, and they were destroyed by the guards.
Of course, Yan Kaiting was greatly ridiculed by Tu Yucheng afterwards, and the two fought several times because of this, so there is no need to mention it.
Yan Kaiting shook his head and stood up, feeling that he was idle when he was thinking nonsense. So he immediately stood up, strode out of the door, and walked straight in the direction of the city array without taking anyone with him.
