The weather is becoming more and more erratic.

Spring goes to the summer solstice, and Xia Ji is holding a scroll and reading quietly.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw heavy snow falling on the surface of the lake.

Looking at the sky in the distance, there was a faint sound of lightning and thunder.

The thunder made an unprecedented loud noise, which frightened the whole earth into silence, and then the world-destroying thunder and lightning weaved into a net, falling from the sky and covering the earth for thousands of miles.

Xia Ji watched the redtail fish swimming uneasily by the lake, so he said gently: "Don't be afraid. ”

Today, he has set foot in nearly 20,000 methods.

Ten thousand laws can grind one image, and now he wants to grind the second image.

But in this situation, he suddenly had a whim, that is, he put the book in front of his lap and looked up at the sky.

Snow and thunder in July.

This is a vision not seen in decades, and there is no record of such weather in the local annals.

Xia Ji closed his eyes, pinched his fingers, and calculated.

Although he has not yet learned the divination method of the same grade as Xia Qingxuan's [Vientiane Wangqi], he will know a lot after all.

And calculating this vision of heaven and earth is not troublesome, and it does not need to pay too much price.

On the contrary, the kind of thunder that counts as thunder in a silent place will lose a long life.

He first pinched his fingers and calculated,

Then he took out three bronze coins from the storage space, threw them six times, and combined them with the hexagram book of this world to get a "shock hexagram".

His gaze quickly swept over, landed on the upper sixth, and muttered in his mouth: "Shock, look at the fierce, and recruit the murderer." The shock is not in its bow, in its neighbors, there is no blame. ”

Then he took out the tortoise shell and calculated.

Because his algorithm wasn't good, he didn't pay the price after all, so he tried a few more times.

Fortunately, the signs brought by this vision of heaven and earth were obvious, and the information obtained from several divination was very different.

In the fog given by this information, Xia Ji couldn't tell what was going on, but he could be sure of one thing:

This vision of heaven and earth does not seem to be groundless, but something really happened in the north, or some character was born to bring such a spectacle, anyway, it seems that it has nothing to do with him.

It's just that in this era, who else can bring wonders?

Xia Ji was a little curious, but soon he shook his head, grabbed the book and continued to read, throwing some spirit grass to the redtail fish from time to time.

Maybe it's because the spirit grass has eaten too much, and the scales of the whole body of the fish that have opened the spirit have turned golden red, looking shiny and beautiful.

One person, one fish, one island, is to enjoy the peace of the day after day in this wonder of heaven and earth.

...

Because of his disciples, Xia Ji's three meals a day no longer have to be done by himself.

The disciples would not bother the teacher, and only when delivering food would they stand quietly beside Xia Ji and say a few words or ask a few questions.

Today's food delivery is Nian Ying, she is tall, her face is gorgeous, and after bringing the dinner plate, she is holding the pavilion pillar with her hand, looking like she wants to speak and stop.

Xia Ji said while eating: "Say whatever you want." ”

Nian Ying said: "Teacher... I was only seven years old when I first came here, and now I'm twenty years old. ”

Xia Ji smiled: "Are you reminding the elder teacher?"

"No, no, no", Nian Ying hurriedly shook his hand: "I didn't mean that, I... I just wanted to ask if the teacher was waiting for her?"

She?

Xia Ji: ???

Which one of her?

He suddenly came to his senses, this disciple should be talking about Su Tian, speaking of which, Su Tian has indeed not been here for a long time. At the beginning, Su Tian pretended to be his Taoist companion and was sweet with himself.

But the immortal species is not a love species, she talked for a while, and after finding that she was most comfortable with herself in the mode of "trading", she changed her way, after all, she seemed to be busy with something.

So, Xia Ji shook his head.

With a worried look, Nian Ying asked tentatively, "Does the teacher miss her?"

Xia Ji shook his head again.

Su Tian is a chess player, even if she is sticky with you, like honey to make you feel sweet and warm, she is still a chess player.

Otherwise, she doesn't deserve to live to this era.

And such a person will never put feelings in the most important place.

In the past ten years, he has already figured this out, so naturally he won't think about Su Tian.

Nian Ying said: "Then the teacher wants to go out for a walk?"

Xia Jiqi said: "I have been walking for the teacher for ten years, and I have only rested for more than two years when I came back, and you and I have gone out for a walk?"

Nian Ying said: "Maybe the teacher can meet someone who will accompany you all your life?"

Xia Ji finally understood what this disciple meant, she just watched herself get old day by day, and felt that she should go out to find a confidant.

So, he shook his head again, "No. ”

Nian Ying didn't ask anymore, she lowered her head and waited quietly for Xia Ji to eat, and after the meal, she packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left.

...

If you live in one place, time begins to fly by.

Xia Ji is moving forward at a rate of obtaining 10,000 skill beads in an average of two years.

And if he had any experience, he would also use it in his books, and store it in the library in the middle of the lake.

And what he writes will always make seventy-two disciples run over to watch it for the first time, even if they can't understand it, they will secretly copy it, and Xia Ji doesn't care.

He thought that the strength of this world could be improved, so that the gap between mortal dust and the family could be flattened, and there were many people in mortal dust, this number was not comparable to the family at all, and in the catastrophe after catastrophe, there would definitely be a lot of odd numbers, and this was what he wanted to see.

His heart has been peaceful, and for the family and the ancestor, it is no longer a narrow love and hate, but a posture of a player who has calmed down and sat on the other side.

It's not about grudges, it's not about everything.

It's just that the camps are different, the positions are different, the wills are different.

In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed, and in terms of the age of the mortal world, Xia Ji is already thirty-six years old.

There is still one year left before the agreement with the Wu family.

And this is another season of snow, and the snow has drifted until the New Year.

A year later, a disciple finally came to resign.

Now the disciples are divided into brothers and sisters according to the ranking.

According to the order, Fengfeng Xue is the senior brother, and the disciple of this resignation is named Yu Long, ranking fifty-six.

He was born handsome and upright, a talent, and his temperament is also humble, polite and measured, and when he changes into rich clothes, he is a personable son of the turbidity world, which is a character in the normal person series.

Xia Ji had an impression of him, so he asked, "Is the realm broken?"

Yu Long knelt in the snow and said respectfully: "The bloodline has been initially awakened, and the three mystical skills of the spirit and spirit are still cultivating. ”

"What bloodline?"

Yu Long knelt down and took two steps back, letting out a low roar.

And his body began to swell and grow.

As the snow droplets flew, he had transformed into a giant snow leopard kneeling on two legs.

Even if he was kneeling, this snow leopard was nearly three zhang tall, and his body was already far higher than the pavilion, which could be regarded as overlooking Xiang Xia Ji.

Yu Long seemed to notice that something was wrong, and hurriedly crawled down and lay outside the pavilion.

Xia Ji looked at his disciple, he was sure that the disciple could awaken the bloodline so quickly, and he could awaken to such an unusual extent, it must be the black fire that he secretly mixed in the fire that played a role.

What's more, he went to "add fire" every once in a while, so that the "black fire" could maintain its original power.

He looked at the behemoth beast that was more than three feet long and more than ten meters down, and suddenly asked, "How to attack?"

The snow leopard still maintained the characteristics of a human face, and the human face spoke, "Disciple, please stand up and show it." ”

Xia Ji nodded.

Only then did Yu Long stand up, he was a standing snow leopard, with a terrifying and exaggerated body size, strong and muscular skin, and each piece contained terrifying energy.

With one claw, he raised his hand to grab the toothpick-like knife at his waist.

As soon as he pulled out the knife, the knife suddenly appeared with a cold light, and it dragged nearly six meters with his claws.

Obviously, this is a special knife, and the material is not bad, and it is not a small force in the rivers and lakes that can create this kind of knife.

I saw that in the wind and snow, the snow leopard grabbed a six-meter-long knife, and its figure suddenly disappeared in place, and then flashed out from time to time.

Xia Ji walked out of the gazebo.

Outside the pavilion, the snow stopped.

If you look closely, every snowflake in this area has been blocked by Yu Long's knife, so that there is an illusion that the snow has stopped.

Xia Ji was not shocked by this exaggerated power, he just watched quietly.

After a long time, Yu Long returned to his original state, but his original clothes had completely exploded, but just when he changed back to his original state, Xia Ji had already thrown out a velvet cloak and covered him.

Yu Long knelt down in the snow, a little frightened and regretful, because he knew that the teacher didn't seem to be able to awaken the bloodline, but it was really a little bad for him to behave like this in front of the teacher.

Xia Ji returned to the pavilion.

For a long time, there was no sound.

Yu Long raised his head slightly curiously, and looked at the teacher with bright eyes, only to see that the teacher was writing at the desk.

He waited quietly.

Waited for about three incense sticks.

Xia Ji stopped writing and waved out a stack of pages with his left hand, and the pages passed through the wind and snow steadily and landed in front of Yu Long.

Yu Long hurriedly took it with both hands, and his eyes swept it, but he found that it was an exercise.

After a closer look, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

Because this exercise was almost tailor-made for him, he couldn't find it himself, but today the teacher actually gave it to him.

These pages are simply priceless to him.

"Teacher!"

Yu Long knelt on the ground and bowed deeply, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Xia Ji smiled and asked, "Which girl?"

Yu Long said: "Yang Fu, the daughter of the owner of Wanjian Mountain Villa, I met her last year, she didn't know my identity, she just said that I was a wanderer with no sect.

I fell in love with her, but I kept pushing it off because I was reluctant to leave, but this year I couldn't put it off, because the owner of the village was choosing a good son-in-law and wanted to choose a wishful husband for her.

She was waiting for me, but she couldn't wait too long, so she came to quit. ”

Xia Ji said: "It's very good. After going out, you must not violate morality, you must not kill your fellow disciples, you must not call yourself my disciple, and you must not use the lifeless knife again. ”

Yu Long: "Yes, Master. ”

Xia Ji said: "Go ahead." ”

Yu Long didn't move, he hesitated, and stopped talking.

Xia Ji said: "Let's say it directly." ”

Yu Long stammered: "Disciple... In vain... If you are married, can you invite your teacher to the wedding feast, to be my father, and to be bowed down by me and her?"

Xia Ji said: "If I were here, I would have dressed up in disguise." ”

Yu Long: "Thank you. ”

After saying that, he knocked his head three more times, then got up, grabbed the shrunken long knife, wrapped his cloak, turned around, shook the snow, and walked away.

...

A few days later.

The Su family sent a disciple to a secret letter.

Xia Ji actually knew the contents of the letter for a long time, because Ji Xuan had already told him everything.

Sure enough, the content of the letter was the same as what Ji Xuan said.

In short, Ji Xuan's experience is almost over, and in the early spring of this year, Lei Lu, the city lord of Juye City, will die of illness, and Qingwang will ascend the throne according to the script, with his temper, Qingwang will definitely treat the people well and make a Ming Jun.

But next spring, Qingwang will become brutal and unreasonable, this is the time for the heroes to rise together, and Ji Xuan is also one of these heroes, but Ji Xuan, who has five great families, and Ji Xuan, who is assisted by the emperor and the national teacher and the general of Yinjun Wenshou, is impossible to lose.

Ji Xuan will spend a year killing the Qingwang, another three years to consolidate the south, and another year will directly claim the emperor, raise troops to the north, and face off against the second whetstone in the north, Xia Xian, the original third prince of the Great Shang.

The "script" is all "written".

Xia Ji said, "Got it", and the two disciples of the Su family went back, after all, the family is full of spiritual energy and can live for three hundred years, and if you breathe outside for one more minute, you will lose your life for an extra two minutes.

After the Su family disciples left, Xia Ji grabbed the letter and thought in the dark.

He reaffirmed one thing, it seems that the Maison is not fearless.

Otherwise, why go through the process?

Everything is a coincidence.

Is this the way of heaven, or is it the great way?

What is the Tao?

What is the Holocaust?

What defines or influences epochs?

The world is shrouded in fog.

He sat in his study and lit a candle to dispel the darkness.

sighed, "There are a lot of things this year."

First of all, it is necessary to respond to the appointment of the Wu family, secondly, Ji Xuan wants to come back, and thirdly, Hua Miaoyu, which the ancestor of the Lu family said, should also appear.

The candle flame flickered, and the candle tears made a slight explosion...

And the sound of footsteps in the wind and snow outside the courtyard was also heard,

The little stupid girl came crampedly with the mutton soup in her hand.

Zhao Yange sat opposite Xia Ji and said, "Teacher, it's time for dinner." ”

...

...

At this time.

In addition to Xia Ji, there was also a second person who received this secret letter.

In the lamplight, a small and delicate lady with an elegant temperament had already read the letter and lit it.

Ashes jumped in her eyes, and she gradually fell into deep thought.

For a long time, she smiled self-deprecatingly.

Winter Snow turned wild, she grabbed a pot of spirits, put it to her red lips, and drank it with her head up, giving people the feeling that an innocent woman was giving up on herself.

But she didn't give up on herself, she was just cornered.

Rumengxue gritted her teeth and gently spit out two words: "The family..."

Suddenly, the voice of a child shouting "Mommy" came from the side hall, as if he had woken up from a nightmare.

That was the child she gave birth to for King Qing the year before last.

A boy named Tang Long.

A girl named Tang Feng.

The look on Rumengxue's face softened, but she didn't enter the house, but let the two children cry outside, sooner or later they need to adapt to the world without themselves, so it's better to witness their adaptation by yourself, isn't that good?

She sat in the dark, her fingers swiping on the table, as if she was calculating something, her life had been ruined by the family, she hated the family, her tears had flowed, only blood remained, so her heart was like water.

"Is there only one year left?"

Rumengxue muttered to herself calmly, she grabbed another letter, it was a letter from the Wu family, the Wu family knew that she was an important pawn of the Su family in the Qingwang incident, but the Wu family and the Su family did not deal with each other, so this letter was a "letter of persuasion", what she wanted was that this former slave of the Su family "was in Cao Ying's heart in Han", helping the Su family on the surface, but secretly helping him the Wu family.

Rumengxue did not burn the letter, but carefully put it in her arms, close to her body, and put it away, her eyes flashing with a touch of quiet madness in the deep winter.
