Wu Jie and Xiao Buyi have been practicing in the desert, and the days have passed like this.
For monks, years in the human world are of little significance, and it is common for them to concentrate on cultivating for at least a few years or even decades at a time.
Whether it is Wu Jie's practice of condensing the true fire of the sun and understanding the swordsmanship, or Xiao Buyi's practice of perfecting Buyi's divine form and mastering compound spells, they all need to consume a lot of time. If there is no interference from external objects, they may really be able to do it.
I have been practicing for several years.
But accidents always happen.
One night in autumn, watching the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Wu Jie was meditating under the moonlight, comprehending the wonderful sword skills taught by the abandoned sword disciple in the spiritual world, but he was suddenly awakened by Xiao Buyi.
"Look!" Xiao Buyi pointed to the sky and said with some confusion, "Someone used the method of 'star shifting' to cover up the celestial phenomena in the southeast starry field."
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
When it comes to astrology, Wu Jie is a complete layman, completely ignorant. However, he has a good habit of asking questions when he doesn't understand.
"The so-called star field is the correspondence between the stars and the nine states in the human world. The southeast star field corresponds to the Chu Kingdom. The celestial phenomena covering the southeast star field means that astrologers all over the world cannot judge what happened in the Chu Kingdom through the stars." Xiao Buyi smiled.
He said, "This person did it extremely skillfully, even a less skilled astrologer would not be able to do it - hehe, looking at this technique, he looks like one of my fellow astrologers..."
Wu Jie frowned.
Although he doesn't understand celestial phenomena, he at least has political and military knowledge.
Is there any situation where it is necessary to cover the southeast starry field so that astrologers all over the world cannot understand the situation in Chu State? Of course, it is only when "something big is happening in Chu State"!
In his impression, the Chu State could be said to be in a peaceful and prosperous time, with no signs of natural or man-made disasters. And because the emperor was in poor health, there was no possibility of foreign war for a while.
Logically speaking, there was no need for the Chu royal family to cover up the celestial phenomena.
And if the person covering up the celestial phenomena is not an expert enshrined by the Chu royal family, then the situation would be a bit bad...
"Do you have any other way to figure out the situation in Chu?" he asked.
Xiao Buyi naturally understood the meaning behind this phenomenon, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
Under his command, Wu Jie collected a lot of sand, used the true energy as a sieve, sieved them carefully, and sifted out a batch of extremely fine sand grains.
Then this true disciple of the cloth-clad god was stripped barefoot, holding a red-dust ten thousand-character banner, and started to cast spells that Wu Jie could not understand.
This spell casting seemed very hard. It took him nearly half an hour to complete the spell. At this time, he was sweating profusely and his face was slightly pale due to excessive consumption of infuriating energy.
"Fortunately, you have lived up to your destiny!" After completing the spell, Xiao Buyi did not bother to wipe his sweat and informed Wu Jie of the result, "Although Chu's destiny is still stable, it is showing the tendency of the pillars of heaven collapsing, and even more evil spirits are attacking the emperor's star.
, the brilliance of the Young Emperor's star chart is dim... In my opinion, I am afraid that someone in the royal family is going to launch a coup, kill the emperor and the prince, and seize the throne!"
When Wu Jie heard this, he couldn't help but frowned again.
The Emperor of Chu had a good relationship with him, and he had received some advice from Senior Ji and owed a favor. It is said that one should repay a favor, but the most taboo thing for cultivators is to be involved in the struggle for the throne - this kind of
A political incident affects the whole body and can easily lead to a catastrophe. At that time, all the immortal cultivators involved will inevitably be involved in the cause and effect.
"If the situation continues to develop, will it cause any large-scale disaster?" He thought for a long time and asked in a deep voice.
"No, this is an internal matter within the royal family. Whoever comes to power will step down. At best, a group of people loyal to the old emperor will die, and it will not lead to a catastrophe."
Wu Jie nodded and was about to put the matter aside when suddenly an idea flashed in his heart and he jumped up suddenly.
When a usurper comes to power, he will definitely kill the forces loyal to the late emperor, and if others don't say it, at least the Lin family and his son must be loyal to the late emperor!
"Oops!" He yelled and asked hurriedly, "How far has the situation developed now? Is there still time to stop it?"
"I'm not sure... The human being who covers the sky is more advanced than me, and has powerful formations to assist me. I can spy on some information, and I can barely do it by relying on my magic skills to be better than him. If I want to figure it out clearly, it's really difficult.
I feel powerless."
Wu Jie frowned, hesitated again, and finally gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and made a decision.
"I'll rush back now! No matter if it's too late or not, I'll always try to make amends!"
Xiao Buyi was puzzled and asked doubtfully: "What does this palace coup in the human world have to do with us ascetics? When you go, you will step into the world of mortals... This matter is not trivial. If you get involved in it, you will inevitably be entangled in cause and effect.
!”
"Even if the cause and effect is entangled, we don't care. The third uncle and his wife are in the capital, and with his temper, he will definitely be loyal to the late emperor." Wu Jie looked at the moonlight in the sky again, estimated the time, and kept saying
Shaking his head, "Seeing that it's October 15th these two days, Lao Wu must have gone to Beijing to take the exam - maybe he has already taken one or two exams. Once this thing is launched, he will not be able to escape!"
"You have helped them enough..."
"It's hard to say whether my uncle and brother have helped enough!" Wu Jie said flatly, "Even if I can't stop the coup, I will at least rescue their whole family!"
As he said this, he said goodbye to Xiao Buyi, jumped up, and hurriedly flew toward the southeast with the light of his sword.
Xiao Buyi stood under the moonlight and watched the bright sword light gradually fade away. He pondered for a while, then finally shook his head, gave a wry smile, and took up the magic weapon and flew towards the Chu Kingdom.
He thought that he owed Wu Jie a huge favor. If he saw Wu Jie in danger and did not help, he would really feel uneasy. If a cultivator can't even feel at ease, it will be difficult to make progress from now on.
Whether it was out of loyalty or a spiritual state of mind, he had to make this trip!
Under the bright moonlight, a bright sword light and a touch of mist clouds rushed towards the Chu Kingdom one after another.
At the same time, there were several other people in the world looking at the sky.
On an altar located deep in the mountains, an old man in black robe stared at the sky, silent.
A moment later, a girl with beautiful appearance and cold temperament, also wearing a black robe, hurriedly flew to the altar, saluted him and asked: "Uncle Master, just now Master sensed that someone was disturbing the sky, so he asked me to come.
I’m asking you for advice. I wonder what kind of trouble this matter will bring to our various sects outside the world?”
"What trouble can it cause?" the old man said disdainfully, "What kind of trouble can a junior who is only in the realm of refining the Gang and has not received the true teaching of the Great Dao cause to us?"
He shook his head and said rudely: "Senior Nephew Yin, go and tell your master that it is the right thing to concentrate on preparing for the next martial arts performance of the three religions, and ignore such trivial matters!"
The girl bowed and bowed before retreating.
When she raised her head, a pair of scarlet eyes were revealed in her black hair, but their eyes were as clear as water, and there was no hint of ferocity in them.
Seeing the girl walking away, the old man couldn't help but frowned.
"After so many years, I still can't figure out the origin of this girl... Her affairs in this life have been found out by the sect, but why do I always have some doubts? Could it be that she was a great monk in the righteous path in her previous life, and she failed to survive the tribulation and was reincarnated?
?”
"That's not right... Even so, I should have done some calculations..." He couldn't help but sigh, "It's just that Li Buyi made the place of inheritance too hidden, and he didn't have great luck.
With the help of someone else, if I force the door open, we will definitely be destroyed... If I can get his true teaching method, I will definitely be able to make further progress, and then there will be nothing in the world that I can't figure out..."
On an ancient tree in the woods outside a certain town, Su Lin was lying on the top of the tree, looking at the sky and thinking.
"Covering the southeastern star fields... Haha, it turns out that the national master of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, Taoist Changchun, is one of the two junior brothers I have been looking for! It's just that although this junior brother Changchun has good magic power, his methods are a bit poor, or he can just use force directly.
Do it, or just change it a little bit. This secretive and non-distinctive approach is like laying out clues in front of me, and I can get the clues just by looking at it!"
He counted on his fingers, shook his head and sighed: "No wonder he suddenly jumped out after hiding for so many years. It turns out that he colluded with someone from the evil sect to be his backer... Hehe, it's just that your backer is not very reliable!"
He was laughing and calculating at the same time, but suddenly his face darkened, showing a bit of doubt. He hurriedly calculated again, then stopped doing the calculation and began to ponder.
"How come my junior brother and Daoyou Wu are involved in this matter? And the person with cultural luck is also involved... A mere trivial matter actually involves destiny, luck and cultural luck... No,
It seems that people with martial arts skills are also involved...ah! This is going to turn a small matter into a big deal!"
As he spoke, he turned over and stood up, and was about to set off, but stopped again.
After careful calculation, he smiled and lay down again.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The fate of the person in charge of the other party is precisely controlled by Wu Daoyou. If you let him count all the tricks, it will inevitably be in vain!"
"Haha! You really can't beat the magic power!"
"...Supernatural powers are no match for the gods. This has been true since ancient times." After casting the spell, Changchun's face turned slightly pale. He stood on the astrologer's platform, looking through the dark night towards the palace from a distance and towards the man hiding in the black ice.
The old man, "Fellow Taoist Ji, no matter how powerful you are, you can't escape the word death. This time, in order to retain your strength so that you can draw your sword to protect the Chu Kingdom in critical moments in the future, you voluntarily froze... but you gave me a day."
What a great opportunity!”
"Senior is such a clever plan!" Zhu Quan praised from the side, "He easily and skillfully sealed the half-soul Taoist underground. The formation isolated the three realms. Even if there was a river of blood outside, he would have no way of knowing!
"
"If you can avoid killing too many people, it would be better not to kill so many." Master Changchun showed a look of compassion and sighed, "Although the throne has been piled up with human lives since ancient times, it is easier to win a country than to defend it.
Recruiting some talents can save a lot of effort in the future.”
"It's hard to find a toad with three legs. Is it still hard to find a man with two legs?" Zhu Quan laughed loudly, "If those civil and military generals are willing to cooperate honestly, they can naturally keep their glory and wealth. If they are stubborn...
…I have sixteen counties in the great Chu Kingdom, but are we still worried about finding people willing to serve me?”
Under the moonlight, his laughter cut through the dark night and drifted away with the night wind.
