As soon as night fell, the lights in Yu Jizi's study room turned on. Gu Jianchi got the news immediately. Knowing that the master had left seclusion, he immediately knocked on the door to ask for permission.
The moment he entered the study and saw his mentor, Gu Jianchi suddenly shuddered in his heart.
In the past ten years, he has been the only one who has personally served Yu Jizi, and he is a man of extremely high moral character and thoughtful thinking.
He had long noticed some subtle changes in his mentor.
In addition to his increasingly violent temper over the years, the aura exuding from his mentor has also changed somewhat.
In the past, as a leader of the righteous path, Yu Jizi practiced the Taoist classic Yin Yang, Qian Kun Dao, which gave others the impression that it was like a spring breeze.
Now, in the eyes of outsiders, Yu Jizi has a more majestic and domineering look on the world.
But in Gu Jianchi's view, in addition to majesty and domineering, his mentor also had a violent spirit.
This violent energy was suppressed and hidden by Yu Jizi at all times, and was rarely exposed, but only the slightest hint of it was unconsciously exposed, which still made Gu Jianchi's heart tremble.
He saluted respectfully to the jade machine, and then considered his words in his mind.
He said cautiously: "Master, are you out of seclusion?"
Yu Jizi sat behind the desk, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
He said slowly: "I have only been in seclusion for a few days, but Cangyun Sect has been messed up by you. How can I practice in seclusion with peace of mind?"
Gu Jianchi was shocked and his mood changed rapidly.
The world is peaceful these days, and there are no major incidents at Cangyun Sect.
Except for the scandal that Huo Xunxian caused Hua Xiaodie.
But I haven't reported this matter to my mentor yet.
Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for such a young disciple's romantic affair to make his mentor so furious.
Gu Jianchi knelt on the ground and said: "Disciple is stupid. I have been dealing with Cangyun matters recently and did not find any trouble in Cangyun Sect. Please give me a clear explanation from Master!"
Yujizi said: "Do you think I have wronged you as a teacher?
Today, four outsiders broke into Master's retreat cave. Thanks to Bai Ze for discovering it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Jianchi's expression changed instantly.
He said in surprise: "This...is this happening?
Have you ever caught the person who secretly broke into the secret cave?"
Yu Jizi said slowly: "The secret passage in the cave of Samsara Peak hides the biggest secret of our Cangyun Sect. Only the past Cangyun Sect leaders are qualified to enter it. Even the leaders of each lineage are not qualified.
Nowadays, the most important forbidden area of Cangyun Sect has become a back garden where outsiders can come and go at will. They can come and go as they please. How can I trust you as a teacher to hand over Cangyun's inheritance to you?"
Gu Jianchi quickly apologized.
He was very smart. Although his mentor didn't say it directly, he heard that the four people who broke into the secret cave today all escaped and were not caught or killed.
Regardless of the fate of these four intruders or their identities, this matter is inevitably related to Gu Jianchi.
He knows his mentor better. Since his mentor reprimanded him in front of him, he should admit his mistake and strengthen the vigilance of Cangyun Mountain to ensure that similar things will not happen again. This matter will most likely be exposed by Yu Jizi.
.
Sure enough, as Gu Jianchi repeatedly admitted his mistake, Yu Jizi's gloomy expression finally relaxed a little.
He actually knew in his heart that Gu Jianchi was not to blame for this matter.
None of the Cangyun Sect leaders in the past knew about that secret passage, and the other party's soul entered the cave after leaving the body, so there was no way to prevent it.
Yu Jizi said: "The enemy secretly sneaked into the secret cave in the mountain from a rock cave in the Bamboo Forest of Houshan through the way of the soul leaving the body.
Send your disciples as soon as possible to completely destroy the secret cave.
At the same time, don’t make this matter public and secretly investigate the identities of the four people who sneaked into the secret cave today.”
Gu Jianchi immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.
Next, Yu Jizi ordered Gu Jianchi to dispatch disciples to repair the passage in the cave that was damaged by Bai Ze as soon as possible.
Repairing the passage of the secret cave is not something ordinary Cangyun disciples can do, they must be trusted confidants.
The only choice is the shadow disciples of Cangyun Sect.
Gujianchi also said that the secret cave passage should be repaired as soon as possible.
After finishing the instructions, Yu Jizi said: "During the period of repairing the secret cave, it is inconvenient for me to practice in seclusion in the secret cave, so I plan to continue the seclusion in another place.
During these few days of retreat as a teacher, has anything happened in the world?"
Gu Jianchi is here to report what has happened in the world these days.
Said: "There has been no movement from the Six Tribes of Heaven and Humanity. Hundreds of thousands of masters from the Six Tribes of Heaven and Humanity are stationed at the Catastrophe Gate in the west of Yinshan Mountain, along with Dawu City and Longmen Ancient City in the Western Regions. It seems that nothing will happen in the world of cultivation in a short time.
Big war.
However, the three main battlefields of mortals are already at war.
The Tianjie West Road army has been bombarding Yumen Pass fiercely for several days, but so far they have not sent out infantry to attack the city.
The army on the north route of Tianjie has already destroyed sixteen cities in three states outside Niangzi Pass. Wherever the army passed, rivers of blood flowed, and almost no chickens or dogs were left behind.
However, with the reinforcements from the foreign beast riders and Feiyu Legion in northern Xinjiang, the Niangziguan defense line has been stabilized for the time being.
Heaven's east-route army dispatched the Storm Legion and the Six-Winged Legion in the ice and snow to harass the entire northern Liaoning region.
Now the seven states in northern Liaoning have become a dead zone. More than two million people died in the battle in northern Liaoning, and more than eight million ordinary people died.
Now the Detachment of Women of Northern Liaoning, together with Goguryeo, Baekje, and Fuyu in eastern Liaoning, and the barbarian tribes in the north, have assembled more than 10 million troops. Some are hoarded at the southern foot of Changbai Mountain, and some are stationed on the east bank of Yalu River, Tianjie.
The main army is unable to launch a large-scale attack on these two human armies due to wind and snow blocking the road.
However, once the ice and snow in northern Liaoning melt, a war between northern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning is inevitable.
Master, the Liaobei Plain is one of the three major granaries in the human world, and now it has almost fallen into the hands of the heavens. I am afraid that the human world will be short of food in the future."
Yu Jizi stared at Gu Jianchi and said: "My master told you a few days ago that the war in the mortal world will be left to the imperial court. You don't need to spend too much time reporting on this kind of thing in the future."
Gu Jianchi nodded and said: "Master, I know that the mortal battlefield has nothing to do with us, but there is one thing that I still have to report to you.
This morning, His Majesty the Emperor sent word that Xuan Ying and Li Ziye suddenly appeared in the palace."
As expected, Yu Jizi became interested and said: "They went to the capital?
What are you doing with the emperor?"
Gu Jianchi said: "They didn't go by themselves, they also brought a young man named Zhan Ying with them.
Xuan Ying recommended to His Majesty the Emperor that the war hero should be appointed as the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses, commanding all the troops in the world.
Your Majesty cannot make the final decision on this matter, so he sent a summons to ask the master what he meant."
Yujizi thought for a moment and said: "Zhan Ying?
Why have I never heard of this person's name before?
How virtuous and capable is this man, that he is actually qualified to serve as the general marshal of the world's military forces?
And will it be jointly recommended by Xuan Ying and Li Ziye?"
