On this day, the prince paid a private visit to the Qin Mansion incognito and met with Ya'an.
Today, the latter has less of the youthfulness of the past and more of a mature charm. Compared with before, the whole person is more fresh and fresh.
The prince understood that he had been nourished by men and became very different...
"Brother, how come you have time to see me today?" Ya'an asked curiously as he took a sip of tea.
"Ever since the people from the ghost world discussed matters with my father in the imperial study, my father would often stay in the inner room of the imperial study and look at the scroll for a long time.
I was a little worried about my father's condition, and I couldn't find anyone to talk to, so I thought of coming here to find you."
He and Ya'an were born from the same mother, and the latter had no chance of usurping the throne from him, so they could naturally be on good terms with each other.
Ya'an's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. Naturally, she was also impressed by the scroll in the royal study. What was sealed inside was the sword worn by the founding emperor of Daqian - the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.
It is said that at that time, when the world was in constant war and the people were in dire straits, the founding emperor followed the signs of the sky and rose up.
One day when he was trapped on the top of a mountain, he was about to fight to the death, but a white light shone from the sky and turned into a sharp sword. With a wave of his hand, millions of corpses were buried, and the danger was averted.
Later, he used this sword to overcome obstacles and ascend to the throne of the emperor.
This is the divine sword!
Of course, this story was so absurd that the royal family only heard it as a legend and did not believe it at all.
Ya'an knew even more clearly that this legend was nothing more than a myth added by the royal family in order to gain authority among the people.
But one thing has to be said.
Xuanyuan Slaying Divine Sword can only be used by members of the royal family. Although it is powerful, the price to pay is not low.
As for what exactly they have to pay, they can only know it from the mouth of the previous emperor when each emperor succeeds to the throne.
This sword has not shown its sound for thousands of years since it was sealed in the scroll. Now it is more like a royal symbol and decoration.
Ya'an did not focus on the divine sword, but asked: "Is it because the father is worried about the alliance with the people in the ghost world?"
The prince heard this and shook his head: "During the discussion in the royal study, several other royal brothers and I were also present, and the content of the discussion was not much different from the original alliance with the Asura clan.
I just learned from Zhao Wenhe that the Three Realms are about to encounter a catastrophe, and now we are all just boats in the sea, and will be swallowed up by the stormy waves at any time."
Ya'an frowned.
She also learned roughly the reason why the ghost world invaded this world from her husband's mouth.
If the ghost world was not on the verge of overthrow, it would not be possible to make dangerous moves.
The existence that covets the Three Realms is so weird that even now, she still finds it difficult to accept it.
After a pause, she said worriedly: "Could it be that my father has foreseen that the future situation will require the use of the divine sword, so that's why it's like this?"
As the crown prince, how dare the prince speak nonsense, he could only sigh.
Ya'an asked again: "How did the Tianjian Imperial Master respond?"
"Since the end of the Rebellion in the Ghost Realm, the Heavenly Supervisor has closed the Dengtian Tower and has never seen anyone again."
...
Haowen Courtyard, climbing to the top of the sky tower.
The white-robed and white-haired Tianjian Imperial Master sat opposite Qin Feng.
The latter asked in confusion: "I heard from the senior brothers, teacher, are you looking for me?"
The Dengtian Tower has been closed for a long time, and he has also heard that only the first floor is for the senior brothers to live in, and no one is allowed to climb the other floors.
Why are you looking for him again now?
The Imperial Master Tianjian looked up with a look of relief in his eyes: "Yes, the battle in the ghost world has given you a deeper understanding of the principles of destiny. It seems that I have a successor."
Why do these words sound like Tuogu... Qin Feng scratched his head and said: "Teacher is joking, you live as long as heaven, and you are the master of the laws of destiny. Why do you need to let others inherit the mantle?"
Master Tianjian took a deep look at Qin Feng, and did not continue to struggle with this topic. Instead, he stood up and asked: "What do you think is destiny?"
Qin Feng was slightly stunned, and after pondering for a moment, he replied: "The cycle of cause and effect has its own destiny. Human destiny is determined by destiny. Is this destiny?"
"You are right, the heavenly soul and self-nature are the will of heaven, and heaven governs all living beings.
If Heaven wants people to perish, they must perish; if Heaven wants the country to perish, the country must perish; this is the destiny of heaven."
"To the way of heaven, the passers-by in this mortal world are just passing clouds and smoke, and the vicissitudes of life are just a blink of an eye to the way of heaven.
All things are like ants, follow the way of heaven and prosper, and go against the way of heaven and perish, this is the destiny."
Qin Feng frowned. These remarks sounded as if all living beings were pawns on a chessboard, and they could only be at the mercy of heaven, which was unpleasant.
"Even so, students have also heard the truth that man can conquer nature.
Just like you, teacher, spying on the destiny and rescuing the human race and generals from overthrowing several times, wouldn’t that mean you have defeated the destiny?”
Imperial Master Tianjian turned around and looked at him, half-smiling but not smiling, with a hint of sadness in his eyes: "What if all of this is still within the destiny?"
Qin Feng was stunned and asked in surprise: "Teacher, what do you mean?"
The Imperial Master Tianjian did not answer, but told a story.
There is a little fish in the pond. Because he does not want to be trapped in the pond, he always hopes that one day he can go to the mountain stream ten feet away.
It was always waiting for an opportunity, and one day it rained heavily and the water overflowed the pond. It followed the current and swam into the mountain stream.
But after staying in the mountain stream for a long time, it felt that the mountain stream was too small and wanted to go to the river.
So it swung its tail desperately and swam upstream. After unremitting efforts, it jumped over the rapid waterfall and fell into the river.
But it was still not satisfied and swam into the river and merged into the sea.
The endless sea made it unable to see its head. It felt that it had finally escaped its fate and was no longer a small fish in the pond. But when it looked up, the sky was no different from what it saw in the pond.
It thinks it controls its destiny, but it is always under its control.
"...How ridiculous." Tianjian Imperial Master laughed at himself.
Qin Feng frowned: "Teacher, what you mean is that all living beings are like little fish, thinking that they have escaped from destiny, but in fact, all of this is in destiny, and we have never escaped?"
If this is the case, then what does the future he has glimpsed in the past mean?
My mood became heavy for no reason.
“The path of becoming a teacher was on the wrong track from the very beginning. Even though I went through many experiences, I just fell from the fish pond into the sea.
But you are different, Qin Feng, you were not born in the fish pond, you are a variable, you have the qualifications to open the chessboard, you have the ability to ascend to the sky and change your destiny."
Qin Feng couldn't help but take a step back. He had never seen Master Tianjian like this before: "Teacher, I don't understand what you mean."
Imperial Master Tianjian looked at him quietly and smiled with relief: "That's all, just think that this bad old man like me has lived for too long and is nagging a lot, and wants to find someone to talk to..."
"Just get out of here."
Qin Feng opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, but still clasped his fists and bowed to leave.
After the people left, Tianjian Imperial Master looked up at the sky and said, "It is said that a mantis can block a car with its arm, and a fly can shake a tree. It is an overestimation of one's own capabilities, but there are so many of them, who says it can't be done?
The tide of fish comes one after another, building ladders to reach the sky. I wonder if I can leave you with a water stain on your face?
Let me be the first fish..."
At the bottom of the Nine Hells Prison, a contemptuous laughter came and went away just as quickly.
