"When did the teacher first know about it?" Qin Feng asked curiously.
"When you successfully enter the academy." Tianjian Imperial Master responded calmly.
Isn't that just the beginning... Qin Feng's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought of many details.
Previously, when asking Wen Sheng Dao practitioners how to improve their cultivation, the teacher always said that someone would be responsible for teaching him, and the person who often taught him the method ended up being senior Xuan Yi.
"Wait a minute, there is a scene related to Senior Xuan Yi on the sealing floor of Ting Yuxuan, and Ting Yuxuan is the clone of the Tianjian Imperial Master, that is, the cheap master gave it to him when they parted in Jinyang City. Could it be that
The teacher has arrived long ago, will Senior Xuan Yi live in my divine sea?"
Qin Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with a look of fear on his face. He even had a suspicion that he was a chess piece from the beginning to the end, and had been acting according to the established trajectory of the Tianjian Imperial Master!
Master Tianjian saw Qin Feng's thoughts and said: "There is no need to think wildly, everyone can only make the decision in his life.
It’s like a fork in the road, all others can do is give you advice, and it’s you who ultimately decides which way to go.”
What's the difference? I haven't listened to you every time... Qin Feng silently complained in his heart.
Believe in the teacher and gain eternal life. This is the principle he has been following since time travel.
If I think carefully about the major decisions I made in the past, if I had gone against the teacher, I might not have survived three episodes at all.
"So when the teacher chose to hand over Ting Yuxuan to me, he saw in advance that I was gifted and could make a big splash in the literary sage tradition?" Qin Feng asked with some pride.
Imperial Master Tianjian said expressionlessly: "The person who handed over Tingyuxuan to you was not me, but someone else."
Teacher, the tsundere has already withdrawn from the environment. Is it so difficult to admit that I am excellent?
Qin Feng didn't take it seriously: "Aren't you and the cheap master in Jinyang City the same person? The immortal method transforms the three pure beings into three parts, allowing you to divide yourself into three parts. The leader of the Burial Sky Organization and the cheap master are
Your clone.
So whether he pays it or you pay it, in fact, it is your choice."
"Who told you that the two of them are my clones?" Tianjian Imperial Master asked.
"Huh? Isn't it?" Qin Feng was slightly stunned. The appearance of these three people was exactly the same. He had long regarded this idea as the truth.
Master Tianjian did not answer this question, but said: "Each of us is making a choice, and you are not the only answer.
He chose you when he was in Jinyang City, the other chose Luo Yu, the son of King Luo, and my first choice was your senior brother Shen Li."
Qin Feng was stunned and heard the teacher speak again: "Luo Yu's talent in the Wen Sheng Dao Tradition is not weaker than yours, but it's a pity that because of King Luo, he embarked on a road of no return.
And Shen Li was my carefully selected disciple, but he also failed to pass the test."
"What test?" Qin Feng asked subconsciously.
"Breaking into the Academy."
Hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly remembered that he had heard someone say that senior brother Shen Li also broke into the academy. After failing to break through, he became crazy after coming out of the academy and even threatened to assassinate Emperor Ming. As a result, he was killed.
The Imperial Master of Tianjian was suppressed in the Nine Levels Prison.
Of course, it was later proven that this was all a move made by the Imperial Master Tianjian. The purpose was to allow the senior brother to sneak into the enemy's army and act as an undercover agent...
He has experienced the psychological test of the Academy. It is indeed not easy, but for a scholar like Senior Brother Shen Li, it is not that difficult.
Now that I think about it, the senior brother must have broken through the academy, because he did not really become crazy, so what the teacher was referring to could only be——
"The reason why Senior Brother failed the test is because he failed to bring the saint's remnant soul out of the academy?" Qin Feng asked tentatively.
Master Tianjian nodded: "Looking at it now, if you want to bring out his remnant soul, his character is not important, what is important is his innate energy."
Qin Feng nodded in approval, because Senior Xuan Yi told him the same thing at the beginning.
"It was only after you broke through the academy that I really gave up on Shen Li and chose you."
Then I really thank you for letting me endure so many dangers later... Qin Feng said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher, for your careful cultivation."
"If you don't mean it, there's no need to force it." Tianjian Imperial Master glanced at him.
Seeing through but not telling off is the way to be wise... Qin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and changed the subject: "So, teacher, you and the clone, what is the purpose of choosing us? It is just to select one person to bring out the senior saint from the academy. The remaining soul?"
Imperial Master Tianjian pondered for a moment and replied softly: "Find the only answer from countless impossibilities."
Saying it means not saying it...
"I see." Qin Feng nodded slightly, as if he understood.
Since the teacher didn't want to talk in detail, he naturally wouldn't bother himself by asking more questions. Instead, he told about Senior Xuan Yi in his Divine Sea and the scenes he saw in Ting Yu Xuan.
"Teacher, I always thought that Senior Xuan Yi was the saint who saved this world when the gods and demons came to the world, and he was also a native of the human race.
But there are various signs that Senior Xuan Yi’s identity is not simple..."
"What are your guesses?"
Qin Feng did not answer immediately, but entered the divine sea to confirm that Senior Xuan Yi was not awake, and then said: "I suspect that Senior Xuan Yi is from the immortal world, and even more, he is just like the senior brother and the Second Senior Brother is like a spy who infiltrates the enemy."
As soon as these words came out, the air became quiet.
Imperial Master Tianjian looked at Qin Feng quietly, his eyes were thought-provoking.
Could it be that I said something wrong... Qin Feng thought subconsciously.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs. Looking for the sound, the person who came turned out to be Eunuch Li, the seal eunuch.
"It turns out that Mr. Qin is here. He really makes it easy for us to find him."
He went to the Qin Mansion early in the morning and found out that the Qin Mansion was not in the mansion. He searched many places before arriving here.
"What does Eunuch Li want from me?" Qin Feng asked curiously.
"Your Majesty invites you."
...
Emperor Ming wanted to find him, so Qin Feng naturally did not dare to neglect him. Even though he still had many doubts in his heart, he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave, following Eunuch Li to the palace.
And not long after a few people left, the void shook slightly, and a white shadow appeared out of thin air. It was Xuan Yi in Qin Feng's divine sea!
"Now you can break away from his divine sea and exist on your own?" Tianjian Imperial Master asked softly without any surprise.
The white shadow nodded slightly: "After he entered the second-level realm, I have basically recovered all his memories. However, now the balance of life and death in the three realms has been broken. Otherwise, I could attract the lost three souls and seven souls and restore most of my strength.
"
"What was the situation like when you left the fairy world?"
"The Buddha and I combined the power of the vows of the Buddhas in the Western Region to disperse the origin of the monster, and then sealed it in this world through the gap in time and space.
Although this method greatly weakened the enemy's strength and allowed the immortal world and the ghost world to breathe, the loss of the fighting power of me and the Buddhas also made the battlefield of the immortal world almost sink."
"Actually, I have never quite understood why, with the strength of your gods, demons and Buddhas in the immortal world, you were defeated by those guys. What kind of existence are they?"
"I have also discussed this issue with the Buddha. Those existences jump out of the three realms and are not in the five elements. Even if you ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the ghost world, you cannot find their past and present lives.
However, after years of fighting and the moment when their origins were broken up, Buddha and I saw some clues."
"What's the clue?" Tianjian Imperial Master asked.
Xuan Yi pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "They may be the incarnation of the principles of heaven and earth, or... they are the first will of chaos that appeared at the beginning of Hongmeng."
After hearing this, even the Tianjian Imperial Master, who had experienced all kinds of storms, couldn't help but widen his pupils.
He is able to devour the human nature of others and turn it into his own use, and he also possesses the magical power of immortality.
If those weird guys are really the laws of heaven and earth, the incarnation of the will of chaos, then everything seems to be right?
But if this is the truth, how should we fight against such an enemy? After all, the result of erasing those existences is to eliminate the Three Realms themselves!
At this time, Master Tianjian seemed to have thought of something: "So when you sealed their origins, you and Buddha did not seal them in the fairy world, because you guessed that it would be useless, and the laws of heaven and earth in the fairy world could not be used at all.
Seal their origins."
"Yes, although I don't know why, the will of the world here seems to have not assimilated with them.
And from the moment the Buddha and I learned about this, we already knew that the only chance to completely eliminate them was to break the boundary.
This is also the beginning of everything.”
The fact is just as Xuan Yi guessed, the laws of heaven and earth here make it difficult for those beings to invade, and the particularity between the fairy world and the ghost world, life and death, makes the emergence of the law of life and death a fatal blow to them.
.
"What are you going to do next?" Tianjian Imperial Master asked again.
"If they fail to invade this world, they will definitely set their sights on the ghost world, and this break in the balance of life and death is a precursor.
They cannot be allowed to liberate the soul, the core of the origin, otherwise the war in the Three Realms will completely unfold and no one will be able to escape.
But I have no control over the battle situation in the ghost world. What I need to do now is to gather the remaining combat power of the fairy world together."
Imperial Master Tianjian closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked: "Is it necessary to return to the Yuan Dynasty?"
Xuan Yi shook his head: "You have done far more than I expected, and this world still needs you.
With your ability to control the laws of destiny, you should have anticipated the changes in the ghost world, and the battle situation there requires your intervention."
"What am I going to do for you?"
"Later, open the cracks in the fairy world for me and help me return to the fairy world.
But before that, I need to go to the Southern Territory to see Him."
"good."
The white shadow flickered slightly, then became blurry.
Xuan Yi suddenly thought of something and said solemnly: "Do you know that you have peeked into too much destiny and are entangled in cause and effect. Your three souls and seven souls are on the verge of collapse. If you continue like this, you will completely dissipate."
"I want to finish the last few moves of chess by myself," said Master Tianjian.
...
The heavily guarded palace and the familiar royal study.
Under the leadership of Eunuch Li, Qin Feng met Emperor Ming. The latter was carefully reviewing the memorial there and did not notice his arrival at the first time.
It wasn't until Eunuch Li reminded him that Emperor Ming raised his head and nodded.
Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh that his majesty actually liked work so much. Every time he saw him, he was working diligently in the imperial study.
Moreover, even in these troubled times, the national treasury was not in any tight situation, and even the pensions of soldiers were never withheld or even paid out of their own pockets.
If this person were placed in a peaceful era, he would be a rare wise man.
"I heard that you gained a lot from this trip to the Western Region, and even entered the second-level realm?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. By chance, we made a breakthrough by chance." Qin Feng said modestly.
"There is no need to be modest. Looking at the past and present, you are the first person to be able to enter the second-level realm at this age, and you are also very likely to be the last one."
Qin Feng flattered: "That must be because your Majesty governs the country well, so the great officials are blessed by the blessings of heaven and earth, and the minor ministers are also blessed by your majesty."
When Emperor Ming heard this, Long Yan was overjoyed.
Eunuch Li on the side couldn't help but look sideways, thinking that this boy might be his biggest enemy. He was so good at flattering...
"I called you here today because I wanted to give you a reward regarding the Western Region.
However, I have been thinking a lot recently, which has caused me to have trouble sleeping and eating. I have consulted many imperial doctors, but they can't find any clues.
Qin Aiqing happens to have superb medical skills, why don't you help me take a look?"
"It's just a small matter, I'll take care of it." Qin Feng vowed, then activated his eyesight and looked at Emperor Ming's body.
But this middle-aged man's body is very strong, and he doesn't have any of the symptoms just now.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Feng said: "Your Majesty's illness seems not to be caused by the body, but by a mental illness."
After hearing this, Emperor Ming couldn't help but admired: "It's Qin Aiqing after all. He can see the secret at a glance. I have indeed been disturbed by some things recently."
Qin Feng was slightly startled, then turned his head and glanced at Eunuch Li.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you say something you shouldn't say or ask something you shouldn't ask, you will be in serious trouble.
Eunuch Li raised his head slightly and gave him an encouraging look.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "I don't know what is bothering Your Majesty. Maybe I can help."
"It's not a big deal. My princess Ya'an has already passed the age of leaving the court, but she has never found her favorite prince-in-law.
Her mother often made subtle insinuations and pointed this matter out to me.
I just realized that I had neglected to care about her on weekdays, so I feel deeply guilty."
I can handle this topic... Qin Feng swallowed and looked at Eunuch Li again.
The latter once again gave me a reassuring look.
"Your Majesty serves the country and the people. I believe His Highness Ya'an will understand you. What's more, there is no way to stop things like fate when they come, so there is no need for your Majesty to be too impatient."
When Emperor Ming heard this, he smiled half-heartedly: "Speaking of marriage in Ya'an, Qin Aiqing, you are well-informed and know a lot of young talents. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"
