Walking up to Jingtian Temple, I knew it was a punishment from my master.
The incident ten years ago caused such a big fuss that even though the master had retired from the world, there were always people who had nothing better to do and came to him to complain.
Pei Jing thought that it would be better not to let him catch the gossiper.
In the center of the Qiantian Mountains, the formation was activated and the clouds and mist dissipated. After a hundred years, the step-by-step road leading to Hanxiao in Jingtian Courtyard remained unchanged.
In mid-February, the snow in the mountains had not melted, the grass and trees were all white, and the wind blowing down from above brought a chill.
Chen Xu was halfway there when he realized, "That's not right! Master only asked you to go up on foot, why should I follow him! You walk slowly, I'll go first." After saying that, he flew straight up on his sword.
"Oh."
Pei Jing broke the branch in his hand expressionlessly.
Jingtianyuan became lively again.
Pei Jing walked slowly to the top of the mountain to look for his ancestors.
Walking along the snow-covered walkway, he ran into Yu Qinglian and Ji Wuduan.
Within ten years, the five of them had broken through the Nascent Soul stage one after another.
Three years ago, Yu Qinglian had already taken over all the affairs of Yingzhou and became the master of an island. Her temperament had also become more stable. Her water-red dress was gorgeous and fragrant, and her white feet did not feel cold at all when stepping on the snow. On her arms were delicate and gorgeous gauze, which hung in the wind, and on her wrists were golden bells.
Ji Wuduan beside her was still sickly, with a pale scholarly look, and a gloomy aura that seemed to be somewhere between the yin and yang worlds.
Yu Qinglian was talking to Ji Wuduan, who was listening in his usual manner.
The two walked around the courtyard and bumped into Pei Jing.
Their eyes met and there was a moment of silence.
Pei Jing grinned: "Long time no see."
It was still the same smile that had angered the entire Jingtian Courtyard.
Ji Wuduan looked at him with a very strange look.
Yu Qinglian covered her lips and couldn't help laughing out loud.
When they were in Zhonglian Village, she had guessed most of what Pei Yuzhi was talking about from the topics he asked her. She thought it would take him a long time to figure it out, but she didn't expect that Yunxiao would become known to the world this time.
Yu Qinglian asked with a smile: "Why are you so late?"
Pei Jing said truthfully: "Master asked me to come up step by step."
Yu Qinglian said meaningfully: "Is that so? I thought you went to Tianyan City first."
Pei Jing had expected this to happen, so he said hypocritically, "No, no, no, I came to Jingtianyuan as soon as I got the order from my master."
Ji Wuduan, who had been silent the whole time, was now certain that what happened ten years ago was true. He curled his lips and said, "I didn't expect that among the five of us, you would be the first to find a partner."
God knows that when he heard the news in the ghost realm, his hands trembled and he almost crushed the skull in his hand. His mood was extremely complicated, and he even felt a little strange - is there anyone in the world like Pei Yuzhi that he can look up to? And even with his dislike for people, how can he love someone
That’s roughly the feeling, and it’s hard to describe in words.
Pei Jing was actually puzzled as well: "Yes, when I went to find you ten years ago, your father was already looking for a Taoist partner for you. How come you are still alone now?"
Ji Wuyuan mentioned this and felt both headache and annoyance: "Who knows?"
Pei Jing asked again: "Didn't I give you a beautiful woman who changes into many different forms?"
Ji Wuduan thought of the eerie mask and gritted his teeth: "... She's nothing but a beauty."
Yu Qinglian had not expected this and was a little shocked: "Your father actually wanted to find a Taoist partner for you?"
Ji Wuduan glared at him angrily: "Is it not possible?"
Yu Qinglian still remembered their love view of either being effeminate or straight, and smiled: "No, of course. I say, do you want to learn from Pei Yuzhi? There are far more male cultivators than female cultivators in the cultivation world. Relax your gender requirements, and you might find someone suitable."
Actually, both of them understood her subconscious meaning.
You can’t find a girl, so just find a guy to deal with.
Ji Wuduan smiled: "There are so many male cultivators in the cultivation world, but I haven't seen you marry yourself off."
Yu Qinglian's smile disappeared: "Oh, what does it have to do with you?"
Pei Jing enjoyed seeing the two of them bickering, and fanned the flames: "I do have a suggestion. When I went to the ghost realm, I heard two little ghosts at the city gate discussing your marriage. They think you and Yu Qinglian are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Do you want to consider it?"
He turned his head and said to Yu Qinglian, "I think what you said is quite right. One of you thinks 'I am the only one like a flower in the world', and the other thinks 'all the living and the dead are fools'. Your tempers are so similar."
Yu Qinglian: "..."
Ji Wuduan: "..."
Pei Jing continued shamelessly: "Now billions of girls in the cultivation world are still heartbroken for me, and they can't tolerate other men in their eyes. I have ruined too many marriages. I will slowly atone for my sins, and if I can make do with a couple, then make do with a couple first."
Yu Qinglian was so angry that she was about to whip him, but when she looked up, her eyes were blank, and then her expression changed in an instant and she smiled gently.
Ji Wuduan did the same, the ghost butterfly in his hand turned into ashes, and he looked very humble.
The two of them said in unison behind him, "Senior Xu Han."
Pei Jing: “…”
Oh shit.
Behind him was the long-lost, smiling voice of the master: "Millions of girls are heartbroken. Oh, tell me, which millions of girls are they?"
The dream man of millions of girls became stiff as stone.
Pei Jing hated it. After hundreds of years, why couldn't they fight openly? They had to call each other elders. What a bunch of rubbish.
Taoist Xu Han was wearing a black robe made of light dust, and he looked like a young man. His green eyes were full of smiles. "It's incredible. Your master and I both practiced the ruthless way, cutting off emotions and love, but we raised a good disciple who is romantic and passionate. He first attracted millions of female cultivators, and then he broke his sleeves and everyone in the world knew about it. Yu Zhi, you are amazing."
Pei Jing said stubbornly: "Master, I can explain."
Yu Qinglian and Ji Wuduan were watching the show from the back, feeling very relieved and almost laughing out loud.
In this world, the only one who can cure Pei Yuzhi is probably his master.
"Explain."
Xu Han sat down on the bed.
The wind brought the scent of cedar and green bamboo outside Jingtian Courtyard, and his sleeves flowed, leaving traces of starlight.
Pei Jing was actually quite ashamed, but he thought that he had to say it sooner or later, so he said: "The billionaire female cultivator thing was a joke, but I am serious about Chu Junyu. I really want him to be my wife."
Xu Han had never thought that one day he would worry about the marriage of his descendants, so he asked, "Do you know Chu Junyu?"
Pei Jing paused and said, "I don't know much about him, but he's a good person. He saved me many times and helped me many times."
Xu Han was in a very complicated mood. He had lived far away from the world for thousands of years and did not understand the sadness of marrying off a daughter. At his age, he had seen through many things. After a long time, he could only say a warning that did not sound like a warning: "That person's cultivation is far superior to yours. If you are bullied in the future, don't come to me to cry."
Pei Jing pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "No."
Xu Han asked again: "Have you really decided to go to Tianyan City?"
"yes."
"Looking for your wife?"
“... ... Ahem, Grandmaster.” Could you please not be so blunt
Xu Han said, "What a coincidence. Originally, I wanted you to form a baby and then go to Jingtianyuan, so that I could let you go to Tianyan City. Now there is no need to force you to go."
Pei Jing was slightly surprised: "Why does Master want me to go to Tianyan City?"
Xu Han looked at him and said, "I want you to find out the truth."
Pei Jing: “Ah?”
Xu Han jumped down from the bed and stretched out his hand, "Give me Ling Chen."
Pei Jing presented it.
There was a layer of purple light visible to the naked eye surrounding Ling Chen's sword.
Xu Han's expression became serious and he said, "It seems that the Sword Master has awakened him. Even if you meet the Heavenly Demon, you will be able to fight."
Seeing that Pei Jing was still confused, Xu Han said, "This time, I summoned you all here not because of the problem with the Heavenly Ladder, but because of the problem with Tianyan City. However, there is no difference between Tianyan City and the Heavenly Ladder."
Pei Jing retracted the Lingchen Sword and frowned: "Tianyan City, are the villains inside rebelling?"
Xu Han smiled, his blue, white, and black eyes were slightly cold, "If it was just a rebellion by villains, it wouldn't be worth my attention. This time I'm afraid it's the emergence of the Heavenly Demon," he said slowly, "The Heavenly Demon Clan has emerged."
The demon clan.
Pei Jing subconsciously thought of Ji Wuyou.
Xu Han knew what he was going to say from his expression, and said, "Don't worry about the child you accepted as your disciple. After all, you can't control him even if you want to."
Pei Jing said: "Master, do you want me to enter Tianyan City and kill all the demons?"
Xu Han was amused by him: "In ancient times, it took the gods, humans, and monsters together to seal them. You are so arrogant."
Pei Jing scratched his head.
Xu Han said, "Go there, find out what's going on, and come back and tell me. There's no need to make too much noise."
Pei Jing: “Yes.”
Xu Han thought of something and narrowed his eyes: "Now the whole world knows that I, Yun Xiao, have a head lady. If you go into Tianyan City and can't bring people back, then don't come out."
"Hmm... Hmm? What?"
What did the master say
Xu Han: "It's no use playing dumb. You made this mess yourself, so you have to clean it up yourself. Don't drag me down to shame with you at my old age."
Pei Jing was speechless. It was too embarrassing to discuss this topic with his master. He might as well go copy books. So he tactfully changed the subject: "Then, master, what should I pay attention to when I go to Tianyan City?"
Xu Han smiled kindly, but his tone was sinister: "Don't cause trouble. If you do, I will peel off your skin."
Pei Jing: Okay. It seems that I can’t be so high-profile anymore.
Almost all the seniors in Jingtian Academy have explained the matters concerning Tianyan City to their juniors.
Chen Xu was called over by Xu Han halfway through the journey, and before leaving, he glared at Pei Jing fiercely.
Pei Jing is really wronged. He hasn't even gone there yet, and you're blaming him
A small pavilion in the courtyard.
Outside, there was green bamboo covered with snow, and the ground was completely white.
Yu Qinglian held her chin with her hand and frowned, her expression somewhat solemn: "What news have you received?"
Ji Wuduan: "Senior Guiyu told me that in Tianyan City, there seems to be a sign that the Heavenly Demon Clan will appear."
Feng Jin teased Chi Tong and said, "Back then, the Heavenly Demon was a disaster. After a great battle, the Heavenly Ladder collapsed and all living things were devastated. If it were to appear again... the consequences would be disastrous."
Wusheng sighed compassionately.
Yu Qinglian said: "Then I may know a little more than you. When the demon cultivators in Yingzhou were causing chaos, I followed the clues and found the accomplices in the Elders' Pavilion. After Canghua and his group, I continued to look for clues. Three years ago, I ascended the throne and finally found out the truth." When she said this, she suddenly smiled, but her eyes were cold and cold without any warmth: "I thought she was colluding with Tianyan City and coveted the position of island master, but I didn't expect... ... It really surprised me."
"In ancient times, the three mountains overseas and the Penglai Abbot of Yingzhou were originally ruled by gods. My ancestor was transformed by the floating blue lotus and was also a member of the god clan. However, after the war of gods, he did not choose to enter reincarnation with the other gods. Instead, he chose to disperse his spirit to protect the safety of millions of people on my Yingzhou Island."
"I found the paper that Elder Fufeng hid in the secret room before she died. It turns out that she had been searching for how to awaken Qinglian."
"The soul of my ancestor has not dissipated, and the real body of Qinglian is sleeping in Tianyan City."
The other four were stunned.
Yu Qinglian's expression showed no joy or anger. "The demon clan should be punished for their evil deeds. I told Aunt Miaoling that I wanted to go to Tianyan City, but she stopped me and said it was too early."
Feng Jin said calmly: "What a coincidence, Elder Feng also advised me the same thing."
Ji Wuduan said: "Tianyan City is now open for exit and not for entry. The elders of our clan all said not to act rashly."
Pei Jing scanned everyone's expressions one by one, raised his hand and said, "So my master was the only one who ordered me to go to Tianyan City?"
"!" The four people's eyes fell on him at the same time.
Feng Jin sneered with a fake smile: "Aren't you going to Tianyan City to look for your husband?"
Pei Jing corrected her, "It's Madam Xun, please say thank you in full."
Ji Wuduan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you really going to Tianyan City?"
Pei Jing smiled lazily: "Of course not. My master asked me to go to Tianyan City to find out what's going on."
Wusheng asked, “Will it be too dangerous?”
Feng Jin was very dissatisfied: "Why did he have to go and not me? What if he was in there talking about love and forgot about the business?"
Pei Jing didn't like what he heard. He pointed his finger at the table, sat up straight, and smiled: "Please be respectful. I am the only hope of the entire Jingtian Academy now."
Ji Wuduan: “Heh.”
Yu Qinglian kept laughing, and became interested. She raised her hand and the bell rang: "Then what are you going to do with our only hope? Just one man and one sword?"
Feng Jin was upset about not being able to go to Tianyan City, and said, "Don't hope for it. He's going to meet a man, so you can't count on him."
Ji Wuduan was very interested: "Don't let yourself get so carried away that you can't get out."
Pei Jing smiled back at the two of them: "The jealousy of the weak is terrible. Do you know why the senior didn't let you in? It's because you are weak and talkative."
Feng Jin and Ji Wuduan: "..."
When they were about to fight.
Wusheng, the good guy, came out to smooth things over: "Why don't we ask Yuzhi about his plan first."
Yu Qinglian curled her hair, tilted her head and smiled: "I asked just now, and they interrupted the conversation."
She looked at Pei Jing: "Hope, speak up."
Pei. The only hope. Jing, accepted it politely, and then said: "What kind of plan is needed for this? Just be confident and it will be done."
The three of them sneered in unison.
Wusheng shook his head helplessly.
Pei Jing ignored them: "But, my master told me not to make too much noise. So I can't just rush into the city with a sword. I may need you to help me get an entry permit."
Speaking of the city entry order, Yu Qinglian's eyes lit up.
The girl smiled brightly and stepped forward: "You've asked the right person. After I found out the truth three years ago, I've always wanted to go to Tianyan City, but my mother stopped me. But I asked my female officials to look up a lot of information."
"In the past ten years, the number of entry orders to Tianyan City has been decreasing, and they are almost extinct."
"If you want to get it, you either have to kill people and steal the treasure, or you have to look for it at the auction house. These auction houses are also irregular black markets."
"The Duanmai City on the edge of the Qiantian Mountains in Jingtianyuan is a hodgepodge of good and bad people. It seems that there is such an underground auction house."
She blinked her eyes and looked around gracefully: "Shout, Hua Zui San Qian."
Chen Xu was not wrong in his guess. His master asked him to come over because of Pei Yuzhi's matter.
Chen Xu sold Pei Jing without even thinking about it.
The focus was on complaining about how bad the temporary leader Pei Yuzhi was, and how he was always hanging out with wild men outside the peak!
It is immoral to keep a mistress in a golden house in Tianqian Peak and recognize her as his brother.
Xu Han: “…”
He has already become a god, why does he still need to listen to these things
He waved his hand tiredly and let the frustrated Chen Xu go down first.
Taoist Tianya came back from the ladder and learned that his master had met Pei Jing. He looked around but didn't see Pei Jing. He got angry and couldn't keep up his immortal demeanor. He said, "Where is he? I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
Xu Han glanced at him lightly: "Is this how you act as a teacher?"
Tianya Taoist just couldn't get enough of the anger.
The head of the Yunxiao sect has been practicing the ruthless way for generations, this bastard really makes them proud.
It’s okay to just like someone, but I also like a man.
It would be fine if he was just a man, but he had to make it known to the whole world.
It's been too long since I last played and I'm about to go to heaven.
Xu Han asked, "From childhood to adulthood, have you been beaten and punished enough?"
Taoist Tianya: "..."
Xu Han said: "I gave him a mission. I asked him to enter Tianyan City alone."
When Taoist Tianya heard this, he was stunned and his anger dissipated a little: "Master, is this too dangerous?"
Xu Han said: "It's time for him to take responsibility. In Tianyan City, for those below the Spiritualization Stage, the only one who can enter to find out the truth and escape unscathed is probably Yu Zhi."
Taoist Tianya was upset: "He can't do it. He has just achieved the Nascent Soul stage."
Xu Han said calmly: "What are you afraid of? Don't you have an extraordinary disciple-in-law in Tianyan City?"
Taoist Tianya: "..."
A mouthful of blood vomited into his throat.
Xu Han said: "I told the others to explain to those young people the great war in ancient times and the reason why the ladder collapsed. I hope they can carry on the aspirations of their ancestors and complete what they could not do."
Taoist Tianya frowned and said, "Master, I have been guarding under the ladder for seven days, and there is nothing unusual about the ladder. Maybe things are not as bad as we thought."
Xu Han smiled slightly, his eyes piercing through the myriad things in the world: "The Sky Demon Clan is about to wake up, and I'm afraid she will wake up too."
The author has something to say: Chu Chu will show up in the next chapter, and the Tianyan City dungeon will be opened~
