The moment we walked out of the Broken Bridge, the wind and snow disappeared. The cold and damp air also dissipated completely. The sky was bright, with golden clouds floating in the sun and green mountains everywhere.
In the end, Chu Junyu was the only one left standing in front of the bluestone.
The snowy wilderness just now seemed like a dream. However, he had expected it and did not even look back to find the missing person.
The eyes are only focused forward.
The bluestone that has stood here for thousands of years is silent, and the three sword marks on it are unrestrained and show the vigor and vitality of the person who carved it.
Chu Junyu bent down, put his pale fingers on the bluestone, and slid down gently.
The black hair falls down, covering the expression.
Fingers traced the words as if brushing dust off a tombstone.
Pei Jing withdrew his spiritual sense with a sullen look on his face.
Chen Xu was almost laughing out loud. It was a rare opportunity to see him get humiliated, so he gloated over his misfortune and said, "I think he is a good candidate. I will definitely let him enter the Inner Peak."
Pei Jing: "Who do you think you are?"
Chen Xu said, "Don't be angry because of shame. You deserve to fall down after bragging about yourself like this."
Pei Jing pulled the corner of his lips: "Heh."
Chen Xu shook his head: "You still want to accept him as your apprentice, but he doesn't think highly of you at all."
Pei Jing glared at him and said, "Get lost."
Everyone in the hall was trying to hold back their laughter, but no one except Chen Xu dared to be so rude to him. The female cultivator in charge stepped forward, handed over a list, and said softly, "Brother Pei, we have already selected the ten disciples who will enter the inner peak. Please take a look."
Pei Jing no longer paid attention to Chen Xu's ridicule. He took the list from the female cultivator's hand, held the pen, and saw the name circled in red at the top. He was stunned and fell into deep thought.
Chen Xu noticed his expression, frowned and said, "He has passed your assessment, so don't do anything weird anymore."
Pei Jing said in a calm tone: "It's as if I was deliberately making things difficult for him."
Chen Xu: "Aren't you?"
"If you say so, then so be it." Pei Jing admitted his false accusation and was too lazy to explain.
He picked up the pen, paused only for a moment before writing, and then quickly and decisively crossed out Chu Junyu's name with one stroke.
"you!"
In Chen Xu's shocked and angry eyes, Pei Jing said: "I still think he is not suitable. But I feel it's a pity to give up on him. Let him stay in the outer peak first, and then see after a while."
Chen Xu was on the verge of irritability every day when he was with him, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Aren't you afraid that the master will come back and kill you?"
Pei Jing thought about it and smiled lazily: "No." He was silent for a while, then turned his head and said to Chen Xu: "I really think I know him better than any of you."
He said this from the bottom of his heart, but Chen Xu just thought he was talking nonsense and walked away angrily.
Pei Jing returned the list to the female cultivator and had no interest in the next selection. He could understand Chen Xu's feelings. He probably felt that a good seedling was wasted by him. With a single spiritual root and a foundation-building skill at a young age, he was bound to be a famous person in the future.
However, this young man named Chu Junyu is definitely not that simple.
Putting aside other things, the most obvious thing is that... ... there is no such genius character in the plot of "Zhu Jian".
This was enough to make Pei Jing suspicious.
It has been decades since I entered the world of books.
Since being accepted as a disciple by Master Yunxiao, everything has been going according to the trajectory in the book. Chu Junyu is the only accident. Pei Jing can't help but care.
This is a world in a book, but Pei Jing did not volunteer to travel through the book. After all, in this book, he is not the protagonist, but a hypocritical villain who kills himself.
Thinking of the tragic ending of the original owner in the book, Pei Jing felt a headache.
In the original text of this book called "Sword Punishment", Pei Yuzhi only has a good appearance and looks like an immortal on the surface, but he is actually an extremely selfish and cruel person in private. In order to break through his cultivation, he did a lot of unscrupulous things. The most suicidal thing he did was that he took a fancy to the protagonist's pure yang physique and took him as his apprentice with ulterior motives, wanting to seize the protagonist's golden elixir as a medicine guide.
But how could the protagonist die? The one who died in the end could only be Pei Yuzhi.
After the protagonist escaped from Canghua, he awakened his bloodline, obtained various secret realm inheritances, and soon became the number one in the world of cultivation. The first thing he did when he came back was to abolish Pei Yuzhi's cultivation, strip him of his tendons and bones, and make him lose all his dignity in front of everyone. After Pei Yuzhi was thrown into the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, he howled in agony all night, and finally his soul was scattered, his body was broken, and he died with his eyes open.
Now that he has become Pei Yuzhi, he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake and die again.
During the years he traveled through the book, he also tried to change some things, but Heaven, as the guardian of order, restored everything without a fuss, especially those related to the protagonist.
If it is the protagonist’s adventure, he will not get it; if it is the protagonist’s sister, he will not be allowed to meet her.
Pei Jing deeply realized what the irreversibility of the plot was.
So he just waits to die
How is that possible.
His traveling to this world was a variable outside the world of heaven and earth.
Even if we can't change the protagonist's life, he can at least change himself.
The routines in the Qidian article are clearly arranged. Those who follow the male protagonist will prosper, and those who go against the male protagonist will perish. In the future, when he meets the male protagonist, he should not cause trouble or seek death, but hold on to his thighs and not force him to turn evil. Wouldn't that solve the problem
You have to know that the male protagonist Ji Wuyou was also a kind-hearted child when he was young. He would shed two tears when he saw a rabbit die.
He grew up to be such a cruel and cold-blooded person, all because of a group of cannon fodder represented by Pei Yuzhi.
The cannon fodders did their best to insult, trample and deceive the hero, as if their life was just to annoy the hero. In such an environment, it was difficult for the hero to maintain his original intention. As expected, he became a pervert with a dagger hidden in his smile, and abused those who looked down on him before.
As one of the cannon fodders who was later abused, Pei Jing said: Maybe I can still be rescued.
After three years of seclusion, he returned to the Yunxiao main peak and looked at every blade of grass and every tree with care.
The mountain road in front of the main hall is winding. Among the dense green, there are a few pink oleander flowers swaying gracefully. The clouds are misty and the wind is misty, and the sky is bright.
This mountain, which only a few people in the world can set foot on, is particularly vibrant.
Pei Jing walked to the center of the palace. In the center of the palace was a lake, and in the lake was a jade-carved human hand, dragging a bead. He placed the Lingyun Sword aside, and drew a simple symbol along the outline of the bead with his fingers.
Soon, blue smoke swirled above the bead, and white light illuminated the dark and solemn Tianqian Palace.
The face of the head of Yunxiao Sect emerged on the water. Taoist Tianya was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, with white eyebrows and hair. When he was not angry or glaring at people, he looked like a kind and elegant hermit.
Pei Jing also stopped being so frivolous, stood up straight, and said politely, "Master."
Taoist Tianya was very impressed by his cute tricks, nodded, and asked, "Did you gain anything from this retreat?"
Pei Jing was slightly stunned when this question was raised. His retreat this time could only be described as a mixed blessing. He had broken through the Golden Core Stage to the Great Perfection, but he could not break through the barrier of forming an infant. Every time he tried to transform the elixir into an infant, a chill ran through his bones, hindering the circulation of his spiritual power.
Taoist Tianya frowned when he saw his hesitation: "Have you encountered a demon in your heart?"
Pei Jing shook his head: "I don't have any inner demons, I'm just stuck at the Golden Core Great Perfection and can't find a breakthrough point." He told his master all the problems he encountered. He was a little confused: "I don't know where that coldness came from, but I feel that if I don't expel it from my body, it will be difficult for me to form a fetus."
Taoist Tianya frowned even tighter, his face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't rush into the matter of forming a baby."
Pei Jing nodded obediently: "Yes."
After getting his assurance, Tianya Taoist said slowly, "I have never heard of what you encountered. I will ask the people in Jingtianyuan for you later. What you need to do now is to calm down and not be impatient. Do you understand?"
Pei Jing: “Yes.”
Taoist Tianya nodded with satisfaction and asked again, "Have you seen all the disciples who have entered the sect this time?"
“I have.”
"how?"
Pei Jing said honestly, "Very good, all of them have very good aptitudes. One of them is about a teenager, and he can already condense Qi into objects. His cultivation is estimated to be close to building a foundation. I heard that he only has a single spiritual root."
Taoist Tianya nodded: "Oh? That's a good candidate."
Pei Jing: "But I arranged him in the outer peak."
Tianya Daoist was stunned: "... Why?"
Pei Jing: "He has too much murderous aura, I dare not accept him rashly. After all, Yunxiao practices the way of the compassionate sword, and if he stays, it may not be a good thing for both sides." At this point, Pei Jing pursed his lips: "But later, I set up an extra level for him, and he behaved very normally. I was unsure for a while, so I arranged him in the outer peak first, and let's see."
Taoist Tianya did not comment on his decision. With his current status, he no longer cared about talent. He said, "Well, I will grant you the position of the head of the sect. You can handle these matters on your own."
After he mentioned this, Pei Jing realized that there was such a thing as a temporary headmaster. For a moment, he could no longer maintain his image as a well-behaved disciple and tried to struggle: "Don't, Master, I think there are many people in Yunxiao who are more qualified for the position of temporary headmaster than me, like Junior Brother Chen Xu, who has a handsome face and is quite good."
Taoist Tianya glared at him: "What are you afraid of? Sooner or later, you will be the leader of Yunxiao!"
Pei Jing really doesn’t want to take this position now: “That will be a long time in the future.”
Taoist Tianya ignored his unreasonable arguments and said, "How can a sect leader keep you busy? It's just a title."
Pei Jing: "... OK."
Before severing the spiritual connection, Taoist Tianya seemed to remember something and asked Pei Jing: "If I remember correctly, you have never encountered a demon in your heart since you started drawing energy into your body?"
"It seems so."
Pei Jing was also confused and wondered why his master brought up this matter.
Taoist Tianya's expression became a little serious: "I thought this was a good thing at first, but now it seems that it is not entirely true. You have never encountered the inner demon, which means that you have not yet opened your seven emotions and six desires. There is a level in the Yunxiao sword technique called common people, which may be a hurdle for you."
Pei Jing was stunned: "What should we do then?"
The Taoist Tianya left him only four words: "Return to the original nature."
After saying this, the entire figure disappeared into the pool.
Pei Jing wanted to keep her, so he leaned over to the edge of the pool and almost fell into it, wanting to cry but having no tears.
"Master, please explain clearly what it means to return to the original nature!"
But Tianya Taoist will ignore him.
