Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 28 Celestial Phenomena
Wu Xie and Xiao Buyi have been cultivating in the desert, and the days have passed day by day.
For monks, the years in the world are meaningless, and it is common for a concentrated cultivation to take a few years or more than a few decades.
Whether it was Wu Jie's cultivation of condensing the Sun True Fire and comprehending the swordsmanship, or Xiao Buyi's cultivation of perfecting the Buyi Divine Dao Method and proficient compound charms, it would take a lot of time, and if there was no external interference, they might really be able to cultivate for several years.
But accidents always happen.
One night in autumn, seeing the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Wu Xie was meditating under the moonlight, and comprehended the wonderful swordsmanship taught by the abandoned sword disciples in the spiritual world, but was suddenly woken up by Xiao Buyi.
"Look!" Xiao Buyi pointed to the sky and said with some doubts, "Someone has used the method of 'Star Shifting and Turning' to obscure the celestial phenomena in the southeast star field. β
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
In terms of astrology, Wu Xie is a complete layman, and he doesn't know anything at all. But he has a good habit of asking questions if he doesn't understand.
"The so-called Hoshino is the correspondence between the stars and the Kyushu of the world. The southeast star field corresponds to the state of Chu, and the celestial phenomena that cover the southeast star field mean that astrologers in the world cannot judge what happened to the state of Chu through the astrological signs. Xiao Buyi said with a smile, "This person has done it very skillfully, and even astrologers who are a little less skilled can't see it - hehe, looking at this technique, it looks like my fellow ......."
Wu Xie frowned.
Although he did not understand celestial phenomena, he at least had political and military common sense.
What is the need to specially shade the southeast star field so that the astrologers of the world cannot understand the situation of the Chu State? Of course, only in the case of "something big is happening in the Chu State"!
In his impression, the state of Chu can be said to be a peaceful and prosperous country at present, and there is no sign of natural disasters and man-made disasters. And because the emperor was not in good health, there was no possibility of foreign war for a while.
It stands to reason that the royal family of Chu has no need to cover the heavens at all.
And if it is not the master enshrined by the royal family of Chu State who covers the celestial phenomena, then the situation is a bit bad......
"Do you have any other way to account for the situation in the Chu State?" He asked.
Xiao Buyi naturally understood the meaning behind this phenomenon, groaned for a while, and nodded.
Under his command, Wu Xie collected a lot of sand, used the true qi as a sieve, and sifted through them finely, sifting out a batch of extremely fine sand grains.
Then this true disciple of the cloth-clothed god was stomped on his feet, holding the red dust 10,000-character banner, stepping in this large area of fine sand, and began to cast spells that Wu Xie couldn't understand.
This spell seemed to be very hard, it took him nearly half an hour to complete the spell, and by this time he was already sweating profusely, and his face was slightly pale due to the excessive consumption of true qi.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" After completing the spell, Xiao Buyi didn't care about wiping his sweat, so he informed Wu Xie of the result, "Although the luck of the Chu State is quite stable, it shows the trend of the Heavenly Pillar collapsing, and there is even more evil qi to offend the Emperor Star, and the glory of the Young Emperor Astrolabe is dim...... In my opinion, I am afraid that someone in the royal family wants to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, kill the emperor and crown prince, and seize the throne! β
When Wu Xie heard this, he couldn't help frowning again.
The emperor of Chu had a good relationship with him, and he was instructed by his predecessors at the beginning, and he owed a favor. It is said that if you owe favors, you should repay them, but the most taboo thing for immortal cultivators is to be involved in the struggle for the throne - this kind of political incident will affect the whole body, and it is easy to cause a catastrophe, and all the immortal cultivators involved in it will inevitably be entangled in a cause and effect.
"If things go on, will there be any large-scale catastrophe?" He thought for a long time and asked in a deep voice.
"No, this is an internal matter of the royal family, whoever comes to power and who steps down, at best, a group of people loyal to the old emperor will die, and it will not cause a catastrophe."
Wu Xie nodded, and was about to let go of this matter, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart and he jumped up violently.
When the usurper comes to power, he must kill the forces loyal to the first emperor, and if others don't say it, at least the Lin family father and son must be loyal to the first emperor!
"Oops!!" He cried out and hurriedly asked, "Where is the situation now?" Is it too late to stop it? β
"Not sure...... The person who was covering the heavens was more advanced than me, and with the help of a powerful formation, I was able to spy on some information, and I was already barely able to do it with the help of spells that were better than him. If you want to figure it out, you really can't do it. β
Wu Xie frowned, hesitated again, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and made a decision.
"I'll rush back now! Whether it's too late or not, always try to remedy it! β
Xiao Buyi was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "What does this human palace coup have to do with us cultivators?" When you go, you're stepping into the red dust...... This matter is not trivial, and getting involved in it will inevitably be riddled with cause and effect! β
"Even if you are riddled with cause and effect, you can't care about it. The third uncle and his wife are both in the capital, and with the temper of the third uncle, he will definitely be loyal to the first emperor. Wu Xie looked at the moonlight in the sky again, estimated the time, and shook his head again and again, "Seeing that these two days are October 15, he must have already entered Beijing to take the exam - maybe he has already taken one or two exams, once this matter is launched, he can't escape!" β
"You've helped them enough......"
"My own uncle and brother, I can't talk about whether I can help enough!" Wu Xie said categorically, "Even if I can't stop the coup, I will at least rescue their entire family!" β
Saying goodbye to Xiao Buyi, he jumped up, rode the sword light, and hurriedly flew towards the southeast.
Xiao Buyi stood in the moonlight and watched the snowy sword light gradually fade away, muttered for a while, shook his head after the most sorrow, smiled bitterly, and also took the magic weapon and flew in the direction of Chu State.
He asked himself if he owed Wu Xie a great favor, and if he saw Wu Xie in danger and didn't help, he was really uneasy. If a cultivator is not at ease with his mind, then it will be very difficult for him to make progress from now on.
Whether it's out of righteousness or for the state of mind of cultivation, he has to make this trip!
Under the bright and bright moonlight, a snow-bright sword light and a touch of dense clouds rushed towards the state of Chu.
At the same time, there are several other people in the world looking at the sky.
On an altar deep in the mountains, an old man in a black robe stared at the sky and was silent.
A moment later, a girl who was also wearing a black robe, with a beautiful face and a cold temperament, hurriedly flew to the altar, saluted him, and asked, "Uncle, just now Master sensed that someone was disturbing the heavens, so he asked me to come and ask you for advice. I don't know what trouble this matter will bring to my Outer Heaven Sects? β
"What's the trouble?" The old man said disdainfully, "A junior in the realm of refining gang, and he hasn't obtained the true inheritance of the Great Dao, what trouble can he cause us?" β
He shook his head and said very politely: "Senior nephew Yin, you go and tell your master that it is right to concentrate on preparing for the next three-taught martial arts exercise, and ignore such trivial matters!" β
The girl bowed and retreated.
When she raised her head, a pair of scarlet eyes were as red as blood in her black hair, but their eyes were as clear as water, and there was no trace of hideousness.
Seeing the girl go away, the old man couldn't help frowning.
"After so many years, I still can't figure out where this girl came from...... The affairs of her life have already been found out in the door, but I have always been a little suspicious? Could it be that she was a great monk in the righteous path in her previous life, and she was reincarnated after a failed tribulation? β
"That's not right...... Even so, I should have calculated a little bit of fame to ......," he said and couldn't help but sigh, "It's no wonder that Li Buyi made the inheritance place too hidden, and without the help of people with great luck, if you forcibly break the door, it will definitely be burned...... If I can get his true preaching, I will definitely be able to go one step further, and then there will be nothing in the world that I can't figure out......"
And on an ancient tree in the woods outside a certain town, Su Lin was also lying on the top of the tree looking at the sky and groaning.
"Shade the southeast Hoshino...... Ha Luha, it turns out that Changchun Daoren, the national teacher of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, is one of the two junior disciples I have been looking for! It's just that although this Changchun junior brother's mana is good, the means are a little worse, either just do it directly, or only change a little, this kind of concealment is like laying clues in front of me, just look at it and you can know the clues! β
He pinched his fingers and counted, shook his head and sighed: "No wonder he suddenly jumped out after hiding for so many years, it turned out that he colluded with someone from the evil sect as a backer...... Hehe, it's just that your backer is not very reliable! β
He laughed and calculated, suddenly his face sank, revealing a little doubt, and hurriedly calculated again, before he stopped the calculation in his hand and groaned.
"How come my little junior brother and Wu Daoyou are also involved in this matter? And the people of the Wenyun were also involved...... is just a trivial matter, and it actually involves the fortune of heaven, fortune and culture...... No, it seems that people from martial arts are also involved...... Oh! It's going to be a small thing to a big thing! β
As he spoke, he rolled over and stood up, and was about to go, but stopped again.
After some careful calculation, he smiled and lay down again.
"It's okay, it's okay. The life of the person in charge of the other party was precisely restrained by Wu Daoyou, and if he did everything he could, it would inevitably go down the drain! β
"Ha Lu Ha! It's really a miraculous power! β
ββ¦β¦ Magical powers are invincible to the number of days, and this has been the case since ancient times. After casting the spell, Changchun Zhenren, whose face was slightly pale, stood on the astrological platform, his eyes looked through the night, looked at the palace from a distance, and looked at the old man who was hiding in the ice, "Jealous Daoist, no matter how great your ability is, you can't escape a dead word." This time, in order to leave a lot of strength, so that you can draw your sword to protect the Great Chu Kingdom at a critical moment in the future, you voluntarily freeze ...... But it gave me a great opportunity! β
"The senior is really a clever calculation!" Zhu Quan praised beside him, "Gently and skillfully sealed that half-soul Daoist underground, that formation isolates the Three Realms, even if the blood flows outside, he will definitely have no way to know the Dao!" β
"If you can kill too many people, it's better not to kill so many." Changchun Zhenren showed a compassionate look and sighed, "Although it is said that the throne has been piled up with human lives since ancient times, it is easy to defend the country, and it is difficult to leave some more talents, and you can save a lot of effort in the future." β
"Three-legged toads are hard to find, are two-legged people still hard to find?" Zhu Quan laughed, "If those civil and military generals are willing to cooperate honestly, they can naturally keep their glory and wealth, if they are obsessed...... I have sixteen counties in the Great Chu Kingdom, and I am still worried that I can't find someone who is willing to serve me? β
In the moonlight, his laughter pierced the night and drifted away with the night wind.
