"Before answering this question, I would like to ask you to answer me a question, how much do you know about celestial beings?"

Zeng Yan held the fishing rod in his hand, and his eyes calmly fell on the floating channel rippling on the lake.

"To be honest, my understanding of the Celestial is quite poor, and in my eyes, the Celestial is nothing more than a powerful creature that has cultivated itself to a higher level. ”

Xia Fan said without thinking.

"A very straightforward cognition. Zeng Yan smiled. "As you said, the Celestial is indeed a powerful being, but do you know why the Celestial is called a Celestial?"

"Another name for an immortal? Or is it a heavenly man? a heavenly one?"

Xia Fan said casually.

"Neither. Zeng Yan shook his head. "Celestial beings, heavenly beings, the real meaning is people outside the heavens. ”

"it?!"

Xia Fan's expression was stunned when he heard this, he twisted his stiff neck to look at Zeng Yan, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth to express the shock in his heart.

"Celestial beings are people outside the heavens?!, that is, ......"

"Yes, the earliest celestials were not actually from our own world, but from outside the heavens, or from another world. ”

Zeng Yan still maintained a smile on his face, but his tone was extremely calm.

“...... I felt like I heard something very incredible. ”

The corners of Xia Fan's eyelids and mouth twitched unconsciously.

Ever since he knew the concept of celestial beings.

He had always regarded the celestials as first-class cultivators similar to immortals, but he never thought that the earliest celestials belonged to the same realm as him.

"Interested in hearing me tell a story?"

Zeng Yan was calm.

"Speak. ”

Xia Fan's expression suddenly turned right.

10,000 years ago.

The human civilization in the Shenzhou Continent is still in the era of ignorant tribes.

Until one day, the celestial beings suddenly descended into this world, but no one knows where the celestials came to this world.

Initially.

The celestial beings who first descended to the world of Shenzhou have a blind attitude towards the natives of this world, and they don't seem to have any idea of interfering in this world at all.

However, after seeing these celestial beings who flew to the sky and showed all kinds of miracles, the natives of the Shenzhou world directly worshipped these celestial beings as gods, and even began to search for the whereabouts of the celestials everywhere to pray for the blessings of the celestials.

Over time.

At the same time, under the teaching of the heavenly people, human society has developed rapidly, especially the first generation of human emperors who directly unified the entire land of Shenzhou after being taught by the heavens and men by chance, and since then the Shenzhou civilization has opened a new chapter.

The Antiquity officially began.

After laying the foundation of the world, he calculated the calendar, taught the people to sow seeds, develop writing, make dry branches, make musical instruments, create medicine, and even risked being punished by the heavens, and even announced the cultivation methods taught by the heavens and men to the world.

Time.

The wind of Shenzhou cultivation is flourishing.

More and more people became monks, and with the continuous improvement of the cultivation methods announced by the Human Emperor, they introduced new ones, thus giving rise to different schools of practice.

But strange things started happening.

Every monk who has successfully cultivated to the realm of heaven and man will often be led by the real heaven to go to the "immortal realm" where the heaven and man are located, some monks will never return, and some monks will completely change their temperament after returning, as if they have completely become a different person.

If I have to describe it, they have become exactly like the real celestials.

High up, no fireworks.

I no longer regard the people of this world as my own people.

And then.

The last human emperor Jedi Tiantong has completely separated heaven and man from then on.

It is said that the Emperor of Man left such a sentence before he died.

Heaven and man should not exist in this world, and the fairy world is also not the real fairy world.

"What exactly is the meaning of the last words of the Human Emperor?"

After Xia Fan listened to Zeng Yan tell the story in his mouth slowly and logically, his whole brow furrowed.

Literally. ”

Zeng Yan said lightly.

"Of course I know it's literal, I mean what is the reason for the Emperor to say this?"

Xia Fan didn't have a good airway.

"What do you think?"

Zeng Yan lightly threw the question back to Xia Fan.

"This group of foreign celestials has bad intentions!" Xia Fan said unabashedly. "Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Human Emperor to take such a big risk to make the Jedi Heavenly Pass and completely let the Heavenly Man disappear into this world. ”

That's how we see it. Zeng Yan said softly. "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and this truth is understood by each other, but ......"

"Just what?"

Xia Fan subconsciously asked.

"We still don't know the true purpose of this group of celestials coming to this world, perhaps, the answer is only known to the human emperor back then and the celestials who are still alive today. ”

Zeng Yan said unhurriedly.

"Are there really celestial beings alive in this world?"

Xia Fan couldn't help but shake his eyebrows.

"Yes, the incident of the Demon Sect back then made us completely understand that there was a half-dead true celestial hidden behind the Cloud Palace. Zeng Yan said slowly. "Having said that, since the moment the Demon Sect was born, in fact, the Demon Sect has been following the will of the Human Emperor, but the actions of the Demon Sect have made the world unacceptable and incomprehensible. ”

"And that kind of thing?"

Xia Fan looked stunned for a moment, and then became thoughtful.

"No wonder the Demon Sect has survived to this day, dare to love that you guys are deliberately conniving at and shielding the Demon Sect!"

"If we hadn't come forward back then, the Demon Sect wouldn't have been as simple as letting the Cloud Hall collapse. ”

Zeng said that there is no wave road in the ancient well.

"What does the Demon Sect's purpose of maintaining the balance of yin and yang mean?"

Xia Fan said suddenly.

"In short, this world does not allow too many martial artists, because these superfluous martial artists will lead to an imbalance of yin and yang, according to the Demon Sect, once the yin and yang are out of balance, the once disappeared celestials may come to this world again. ”

Zeng Yan patiently explained.

"So you let the Demon Sect set off the catastrophe again and again, the purpose is to cut off the redundant warriors?"

Xia Fan said in a deep voice.

"Do you know about the end of the Middle Ages?"

Zeng Yan asked rhetorically without answering.

"Yes. ”

Xia Fan didn't know why.

"The Battle of the End of the Middle Ages was created by our joint efforts with the Demon Sect. ”

Zeng said that there is no joy and no sorrow.

“...... And what did the Demon Sect do this time?"

Xia Fan was silent for a moment and said.

"There is our tacit approval in this. Zeng Yan said without concealment. "But we didn't expect the Demon Sect to be so aggressive this time. ”

"Since you all understand the intentions of the Demon Sect, why don't you just join forces with the Demon Sect?

Xia Fan said bluntly.

"Because people are selfish, there are many things that we can't help ourselves. ”

Zeng Yan looked calmly at the floating road that was still not moving on the lake.

"You must know that since ancient times, no one in the world has been able to successfully advance to the realm of heaven and man, I think you should know what the realm of heaven and man means, especially for those old guys who are about to die of old age, they don't want to die, so they are more eager than anyone else to be promoted to the realm of heaven and man, and this is exactly in conflict with the purpose of the Demon Sect......"

"This is doomed to make it impossible for you and the Demon Sect to get along. ”

Xia Fan naturally understood what Zeng Yan meant.

"Not only that, some old people do everything in order to be promoted to the realm of heaven and man. ”

Zeng Yan smiled meaningfully.

"For example, sit back and watch the heavens descend, or take refuge in the Cloud Palace?"

Xia Fan's eyelids jumped suddenly.

"Why say something directly, after all, it's not a glorious thing. ”

Zeng Yan sighed lightly.

“...... How strong are the celestials?"

Xia Fan's words changed.

"At the peak of the Demon Sect, there were three supreme grandmasters, nine great grandmasters, and more than twenty grandmasters, and then overnight, most of these people were killed and injured, and the Demon Sect was completely injured, so you can imagine the strength of the celestials. ”

Zeng Yan shook his head and said.

"But the Celestial also paid the price, and as far as I know, the Celestial has been sleeping and recuperating from his wounds to this day. ”

"The strength of this celestial person is a little ridiculously strong, right?"

Xia Fan took a cold breath and said.

Nima.

What a!

In other words, Xia Fan faced the all-star lineup of the Demon Sect back then, and he couldn't escape until he couldn't escape, so he was hammered to death on the spot.

However, as soon as Tianren made a move, he directly suppressed the audience.

Although the Demon Sect did hit the heavens hard, it couldn't change the fact that the Demon Sect collapsed and collapsed.

Ultimately.

The victor is a celestial man after all.

Perhaps it was because of the concern that the major sects took advantage of the fire to rob, so that the Yunxiao Hall was forced to let the Demon Sect go.

After all, Zeng Yan made it clear that they could not reach a consensus on a certain aspect due to selfish issues, not to mention that if the heavens and men fought back on the verge of death, would the major sects be able to afford this price?

on this.

Xia Fan was speechless.

There was once an opportunity to kill the celestials in front of them, and they didn't cherish it, and now it's too late for them to regret it.

It's just a pity that the Demon Sect fell short, and it was a group of selfish pig teammates.

But.

They can't talk about teammates either.

Because once the Heavenly Man and the Cloud Hall are resolved, the Demon Sect will inevitably turn the spearhead and point the finger at the major sects.

Maybe.

The major sects may not have the consideration of balancing the three parties, otherwise without the Demon Sect, it would be them who would face the Heavenly Man and the Cloud Palace.

What is this?

Dirty political tricks?

So far.

The Demon Sect seemed to have launched a decisive charge against the Celestials again.

But this time.

The Demon Sect no longer believed in the major sects, but used its own means to pull everyone into the water.

Even if it fails.

The dead are enough to balance the so-called yin and yang of the Demon Sect.

Of course.

The above are all Xia Fan's speculations, who knows the true thoughts and intentions of the Demon Sect.

"So you're going to wait and see?"

Xia Fan calmed down and said.

"We only have this option. ”

Zeng Yan said calmly.

"Will you make a move in the end?"

Xia Fan asked again.

"Perhaps. ”

Zeng Yan gave an ambiguous answer.

"I see, send me back. ”

Xia Fan smiled and casually threw the fishing rod in his hand into the lake.

Maybe.

These two words contain too many meanings.

If the Demon Sect fails, the major sects may come to the aid of the Demon Sect, and if the Demon Sect succeeds, the major sects may take action against the Demon Sect.

They are very shrewd in their calculations.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

It's no wonder that the major sects are not responding now, and the whole thing that dares to jump out is the cannon fodder they gave to the Demon Sect!

The boat was once again windless and automatic, and slowly sailed to the pier on the edge of Daze.

But Xia Fan and Zeng Yan did not talk again.

Back to shore.

Xia Fan jumped on the dock, ignored Zeng Yan on the boat behind him, and said hello directly to Zhong Liyuan, who was patiently waiting on the edge of the dock.

"Do you want to drink? ”

"Good!"

Zhong Liyuan nodded without saying a word.

After solemnly saluting in the direction of Zeng Yan on the boat, he followed Xia Fan back to the local county seat.

"You're not in a good mood. ”

Inn.

Xia Fan sat at the table and chair in the corner, holding a bowl full of wine in his hand, absentmindedly touching the bowl with Zhong Liyuan and drinking it all.

Zhong Liyuan picked up the wine jar and refilled the bowl for the two of them with wine, and said without restraint.

"Sort of, after learning something from your ancestor, it made me have a different view of all aspects of this world. ”

Xia Fan shook his head and smiled.

"In the past, my idea was very simple, as long as you don't mess with me, everything is easy to say, but if you mess with me, then don't blame me for being rude. ”

"But you seem to have changed your simple mind now. ”

Zhong Liyuan drank the wine in the bowl without taking a sip and said casually.

"Do you say the Demon Sect is a bad person?"

Xia Fan seemed to be careless.

"For most people in the rivers and lakes, the Demon Sect is indeed heinous. ”

Zhong Liyuan said disapprehantly.

"What about you?"

Xia Fan asked.

Actually, most of the people in the Demon Sect are the same as us, just like me and Su Yunfu. ”

Zhong Liyuan said in a flat tone.

"Although Su Yanfu is a member of the Demon Sect, he has never done anything harmful, and many times, we will only have some differences because of our different ideas, but this will not affect our friendship. ”

"Yes, the people of the Demon Sect are also people, and this world is not black and white. ”

Xia Fan felt it and said.

"I was very angry when the Demon Sect was calculating me, and although I knew that it was due to a conflict between our positions, I still couldn't swallow this breath, so I always wanted to give the Demon Sect a little color. ”

"But have you changed that mind now?"

Zhong Liyuan said with a smile.

"No! How is it possible! Do you think I look like such a generous person?" Xia Fan said flatly. "It's the same thing, okay, a murderer saves people out of kindness, but this can't change the fact that the other party is a murderer. ”

"So what are you going to do?"

Zhong Liyuan asked curiously.

"What should I do?

Xia Fan raised the wine bowl and signaled to Zhong Liyuan, and immediately drank it all again.

"I'll still clean up the Demon Sect how to clean it up, it's just ...... I'll pick a more humane time to clean them up. ”
