Every place in Tiangong makes Zhong Guanyuan feel familiar and strange. After all, a full hundred thousand years have passed since the age of the gods, and a full hundred thousand years have passed since he walked the world.
"Master Zhong, why don't we go to Yunqing first?" Ji Yihe followed him obediently, passed through the sky-level cloud platform, and stood in the endless void.
Zhong Guanyuan touched his nose with his hand, and said with a smile, "It's better to go back to Tiangong to prepare."
Ji Yihe nodded with a vague understanding, he understood that Zhong Guanyuan did not have absolute trust in Yun Qing, and he seemed to know that person very well. Ji Yihe asked curiously: "Master Zhong, is she... the same as us?"
She slept in the Yaoque Pagoda for one hundred thousand years, and the gods slept in the Heavenly Palace for one hundred thousand years. They may have experienced catastrophe before returning to the world.
Zhong Guanyuan said dryly: "It's not the same."
Ji Yihe was still curious, he asked: "Why?"
Zhong Guanyuan said perfunctorily: "She is a girl, and Yihe is a boy."
"..." Ji Yihe obviously took it seriously, he frowned and said, "Baidi is the embodiment of rules, there is no distinction between men and women."
Zhong Guanyuan was speechless, but he still didn't want to talk about Yun Qing with Ji Yihe, so he chose to change the topic: "I'll go to Daoqi to have a look later, you can just find a place and wait for me."
Ji Yihe is good at detecting colors, so he nodded quickly and obediently: "Yes, I understand, Master Zhong."
Daoqi is surrounded by the most powerful force in this heavenly palace.
When the Qing Emperor fell, his remnant soul quickly gathered the power of all the gods, and then built the Buried Cloud Heaven Palace with it. The most important thing in the palace is without a doubt Dao Chess. The forces guarding Dao Chess are extremely mixed, and some of them conflict with each other, but under the control of the Qing Emperor's breath, they can still get along peacefully. After the Qing Emperor built the Buried Cloud Heaven Palace, he has not yet completely dissipated in the world. He also set up the other six holy places.
Zhong Guanyuan is the God of Secretary, and he was also a god who served the Qing Emperor. No one knows better than him what happened before and after the fall of the Qing Emperor. However, Zhong Guanyuan never mentioned to Ji Yihe the situation of Emperor Qing's return.
Ji Yihe didn't dare to ask, let alone go to Zhong Guanyuan's palace to look for the history books written by him. Because even Zhong Guanyuan didn't dare to mention something, there must be hidden the great horror of life and death in the world.
Ji Yihe always felt that Qing Emperor's fall was not simple, and the more Zhong Guanyuan concealed it, the more real his conjecture became.
Later, when it came to the matter of conferring immortals in Beihai, Ji Yihe discovered that Zhong Guanyuan's behavior was a bit strange.
It has not been a day or two for the sage of the immortal way to plot the other hall. Whenever he catches the opportunity, he will ask Zhong Guanyuan how to go to the other hall, but Zhong Guanyuan has been trying to avoid him. That Beihai Fengxian Taiqing invited Shinto to watch the ceremony must have such thoughts, but Zhong Guanyuan still insisted on bringing the descendants of the five emperors to participate.
Thinking about it now, he probably made a special trip to meet Yun Qing.
"I'm going up, I'll be back soon." Zhong Guanyuan's words interrupted Ji Yihe's train of thought.
In front of them was an endless sky staircase, the white staircase blended with the surrounding white clouds, and the surrounding area was empty. Going straight up, you can see the chess table of that year. On the chess table, Dao chess is placed, and the endgame of the game from 100,000 years ago is still preserved on Dao chess.
"Well, I'll wait for it." Ji Yihe stood still and watched him go away, and then began to think about the relationship between Yun Qing and Zhong Guanyuan.
At the beginning, he simply thought that Yunqing was Huangquan, and Zhong Guanyuan approached her because he wanted to ask her about the battle of Biluo Huangquan. However, the subsequent trip to Wuhuang Demon Realm broke this conjecture. Yun Qing once defied the sky and changed his fate in order to devour Huangquan. Even the current sages have never considered this point, but Zhong Guanyuan, like a prophet, asked Ji Yihe to go to the Wuhuang Demon Realm to meet her.
Ji Yihe felt that Zhong Guanyuan knew that person, but it was hard to say whether that person knew Zhong Guanyuan or not. Judging from their encounter in Beihai Fengxian, Zhong Guanyuan had a great reaction, but Yun Qing didn't feel it at all, maybe it was hidden deeply, maybe it was because they really didn't know each other.
Recognized, important, and able to get Zhong Guanyuan to help... All these conditions are superimposed, and Ji Yihe can only think of Qingdi.
Is it really Qingdi
After asking myself this many times, Ji Yihe felt a little uncertain.
"Yihe, why are you standing here?" A brisk voice came from behind Ji Yihe.
Ji Yihe was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Xuanyuan Jun walking towards him: "Xuanyuan... are you back?"
"Well, Zhong Guanyuan asked me to come back recently." Xuanyuan Jun yawned and said lazily, "Although I still prefer to stay in the world."
Ji Yihe frowned: "You're back, so what should we do?"
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was born in the human race, and Xuanyuan Jun was recently sent by Zhong Guanyuan to Lutian Temple to assist the government. Ji Yihe always thought that Zhong Guanyuan wanted to help humanity.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Jun became a little serious, she said suspiciously: "I don't know, anyway Zhong Guanyuan asked me to come back, this guy is so strange."
Ji Yihe has been running around with Zhong Guanyuan, so he didn't pay attention to what the other descendants of the Five Emperors were doing recently. He asked, "Why is it so strange?"
"Let me go to the Temple of Heaven to keep an eye on you." Xuanyuan Jun was a little impatient, "I've been watching him for several years, nothing happened, and then he let me come back. I really don't understand what he's doing."
"Who did Master Zhong tell you to stare at?" Ji Yihe felt that he might have caught some clues, "By the way, what about Chongxi and the others?"
Xuanyuanjun thought for a while, and quickly replied: "A disciple from the inner sect of Lutian Temple, named Qing Chen, looks quite likable. As for Chongxi and the others, they seem to be scattered in various sects."
That was Yun Qing's chess game.
Ji Yihe felt that Zhong Guanyuan's attitude towards Yun Qing became more and more confusing. He seemed to be in a bad mood when he got along with Yun Qing, and he didn't look like he was facing Qing Emperor in terms of etiquette. Now he specially sent the descendants of the Five Emperors to watch Yun Qing's people, paying close attention to her every move, which can be described as "heavily guarded".
If she is not Qingdi, then she must be an opponent at Qingdi's level. This conjecture makes Ji Yihe a little scared, Biluo Huangquan has already fallen, if this is really the case, then who else in this world can fight against her
Zhong Guanyuan yawned as he walked on the sky steps, his steps were slow and unhurried.
I don't know how long it took to go up like this, a pool appeared in the cloud, the edge of the pool was formed by the condensed pure divine power, and the water of the pool reflected three thousand worlds, all beings in heaven and earth. There were two white-haired old men standing by the pool. They looked exactly the same, and they were dressed very similarly. At first glance, it was impossible to tell who was who. One of them is holding a jade bi, and the other is holding a precious pearl, all of them have white hair and childlike faces, and their expressions are indifferent.
Zhong Guanyuan stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Senior Holding Bi, Senior Holding Pearl."
The two old men stared forward like stone sculptures, their eyes were empty, and the same two voices came to Zhong Guanyuan's ears at the same time: "Wen Qu doesn't need to be polite."
Zhong Guanyuan asked with some concern: "Is Daoqi still calm these days?"
"The sage fell, and the world turned upside down. It's not peaceful."
Zhong Guanyuan heard the words and glanced at the water in the pool, the scene above has changed thousands of times in an instant, and there are divine power and mist interference around the pool, just looking at it can't tell why. He wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but the jade bi orb in the hands of the two old men suddenly radiated brilliance and forced him to retreat.
"Wenqu has overstepped." Shen Shen's voice didn't have any ups and downs, but it was full of pressure.
Zhong Guanyuan retreated to the bottom of the steps, and bowed his head to apologize: "It's so offensive, please don't blame the two senior chess servants."
The two old men didn't even turn their eyes, their voices came into Zhong Guanyuan's mind again: "The progress of receiving Tiangong is still slow, I don't know what is the important thing for Wenqu to return to Tiangong?"
The two chess servants were standing next to Daoqi, and they knew what Zhong Guanyuan had done. Now the four poles and the heavenly pillars have been built, and the two palaces have been combined into one, but the combination of yin and yang has not yet been redefined, and the five elements have not yet been redefined. Only when the heavens and the earth are re-opened can a behemoth like the Tiangong come back to the world through such a big change. Therefore, Zhong Guanyuan's progress is still relatively slow. At this juncture, he ran back to Tiangong, and he didn't know why.
Zhong Guanyuan hesitated to speak, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said: "This time I came back here specially, I just want to ask senior, have you ever seen... Yun Qing on Daoqi?"
silence.
Deathly silence.
The two chess servants seemed to have turned into real stone sculptures in an instant, and they stopped talking.
Zhong Guanyuan seemed to understand something, he cleared his throat, and asked another question: "Who is the saint who fell this time?"
"Ghost Dao Saint." The two old men replied in unison.
Zhong Guanyuan clenched his hands tightly, and the worry in his eyes became deeper and deeper. Sure enough, the chess servant couldn't say anything about that person. He couldn't go forward to check the Dao chess, but the chess servant who knew the situation of the Dao chess was deliberately concealing it, and the whole thing suddenly became troublesome.
He could only ask other things casually: "Are there any changes in the sacrificial vessels?"
"No change."
The voices of the two chess servants overlapped completely without any ups and downs, which made Zhong Guanyuan feel extremely depressed. When he heard "no change", he felt even more depressed, and he asked a little excitedly: "Since these things are useless at all, why do you let me take such a big risk to get them?"
"Emperor Qing's will." The two old men were not angry, they saw the jade orb reflecting light slightly, and suddenly they heard their voices say, "There are still remaining heavenly books in the world that have not been put in place, and I hope Wenqu will return this thing as soon as possible. "
Zhong Guanyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "This is natural."
The two old men fell silent and did not respond.
"Yunqing will not die, and all ways will be hard to survive. I hope that the two seniors will remember why they are here, and why the Tiangong was built!"
After Zhong Guanyuan said the last sentence, he walked away without listening to the two stone statues' answers.
