"you you... ... "
The young man took half a step back, and Zanli's face turned red.
Just as the bright moon rises from the dark clouds, the cold moonlight sweeps down from the clouds and quietly scatters like a layer of gauze. It dispels the lazy and sick look on the young man's brows and eyes in the past, and it becomes thrilling for no reason.
The black-haired and white-clothed doorkeeper paused, tilted his head, "What's wrong?"
Beside his slender, jade-like fingertips, the tongue of fire had completely swallowed up the word "xi" in "Qianyue Xi" and completely turned it into ashes in the lamp oil.
For some reason, Zong Ci actually saw some innocence in the man's flawless face. He hesitated for a moment, and felt that his reaction was really a bit surprising, so he pretended to be calm and said, "... Are you ready to put this lamp out?"
Qian Yuexi nodded, his fingertips brushing the lamp surface imperceptibly.
Zong Ci was dubious for a moment.
Could it be that... the master of the Tianji Sect doesn't know the tradition that one cannot light a lantern together during the Lantern Festival
It's really not surprising that he was suspicious. After all, just now, the leader of the Tianji Sect knew the secrets of the demon ascetic monks and talked about them eloquently, but now he doesn't even know the most basic customs of the Lantern Festival. Who would believe it
But the expression on Qian Yuexi's face was too natural, no different from his usual expression of neither sadness nor joy. Zong Ci was stunned but couldn't see anything wrong. On the contrary, when the latter raised his eyes slightly, and suddenly met those closed eyes, his face became increasingly hot.
He even dared not look at the expression of Tianyi next to him. After all, to outsiders, Zong Ci was just staring at the master of Tianji Sect intently. Apart from anything else, for Zong Ci, a young prince who had been reading poetry and books since he was a child and abiding by etiquette, the act of staring at other people's faces without blinking was really too rude.
Confused, the young man looked away in panic, "No, it's nothing."
The master of the Tianji Sect was originally the closest being to the way of heaven. Such a figure was beyond the constraints of the world. Naturally, it was impossible for him to remember to light lanterns during the Lantern Festival like ordinary people.
He comforted himself like this, and then heard the person in front of him say -
"Then I'm going to let it go."
Zong Ci raised his head in shock, but could not find any reason to stop him, so he could only watch the wooden wheel and bones rolling to the river.
In just a moment, the extremely exquisite lantern floated to the water.
The things in Tianji Sect are naturally made of extremely precious materials. This lantern is burning with shark ointment, has a base carved from agarwood, and is covered with transparent stardust paper. It is completely different from the simple lanterns in the distance.
Not long after the bottom of the lamp touched the water, it swayed along the direction of the river, dragging a dark purple tail out.
Slowly, it merged into the shadows of lights gathered in the middle of the river downstream. Surrounded by thousands of lights, this one stands out the most.
Looking from a distance, there is an unknown sense of trance in the dimly lit gathering place.
In previous years, someone would accompany Zong Ci during the Lantern Festival. There was once a fox-like cunning boy who rubbed his lantern. At that time, he was young and ignorant, so he turned off the lantern and put it back in his storage bag.
Thousands of years later, another lamp was lit under such an unexpected situation.
When he thought about what it meant for the two of them to light a lantern at the same time, Zong Ci couldn't control the heat on his face, and he didn't even dare to look back at the glorious Tianji Sect Master.
Silence fell under the night sky again.
Zong Ci thought that he would not look back, but others would always find a way to see him.
Since he appeared on the street, Qian Yuexi's consciousness has never withdrawn.
The young man stood by the river. The cool night wind lifted up his black hair that was scattered behind him. The moonlight coated him with a layer of clear light. In the night sky, it was like a bright moon shining on water. Together with the light crimson color on his face, he looked even more... It's meandering and unconventional.
I don’t know why, but this scene gave the Tianji Sect’s master the illusion of absurd time and space.
He suddenly remembered the appearance of the young man in front of him a long time ago.
At that time, Qian Yuexi had not yet become the master of the Tianji Sect, and the previous master had not yet accepted his fate. Even if you think carefully, he was just a young man in his early teens who had just started working for ten years.
Tianji Sect has many unknown practices. Every sect leader is inspired by the way of heaven. After going down the mountain to search for it, he brings it back to Tianji Sect and teaches it carefully. Over time, before the Tianji Sect disciples actually succeeded as the sect leader, they did not have a clear grasp of the world situation, so they needed to enter the world every ten years, which is called entering the world of mortals, broadening their horizons, and cultivating with the sect disciples to a certain extent before going down the mountain. Experience is the same thing, but you can't reveal your identity as a Tianji Sect member during the experience.
Because Qian Yuexi joined the Tianji Sect early, unlike the previous sect leader who only entered the Tianji Sect when he was a teenager, he lacked experience in getting along with others. So before he went down to Tianshan Mountain, the former sect master had a rare chance to see his old father. Although the sect master still looked indifferent on the surface, he secretly prepared almost three storage rings, one inside each. Everything you need is amazing.
On the contrary, Qian Yuexi, who was going down the mountain for the first time in ten years of Qingxiu, looked extremely calm, like a normal person.
He was not an ordinary boy to begin with. Compared to other people of his age, he was aloof, indifferent, and much more taciturn. After being suddenly told that he was going out for training, Xiao Qian Yuexi remained as cold as ice and responded calmly.
The masters of the Tianji Sect are not only in charge of the world of cultivation, they also manage the world of mortals. They are responsible for everything in the world, but there are more and bigger things in the world of cultivation, and it is easier to affect destiny.
It just so happens that Tianshan Mountain is located in an inaccessible area, near the junction of several vassal states.
After all, Qian Yuexi was still a teenager at that time. Although he has joined the world, he still has the vigor of a young man in his heart, which is quite dusty.
The previous sect leader was busy calculating star trajectories and measuring his own fate all day long, and he didn't pay much attention to the psychological problems of his disciples. Because Qian Yuexi sometimes didn't feel like a child to him, but more like an old man who had gone through many hardships.
There are countless living beings, and even one who can enter the Heavenly Mystery Sect has not been able to emerge in hundreds of years. Who is not a proud man of Heaven? Even the former sect leader had made quite a name for himself in the world of cultivation when he was young. In his opinion, Qian Yuexi's arrogance is nothing to worry about, and he is more popular at least.
What the former sect leader didn't expect was that this time down the mountain, Qian Yuexi, who had never needed to worry about his elders, would start to get aggressive.
He didn't show it on his face, but secretly circled a period of time after practicing for several days and made detailed plans for himself on what he would do after coming down the mountain.
Qian Yuexi has had an unknown and secret connection with the way of heaven since he was a child. This is manifested in his ability to foresee the future for a short period of time, see through people's hearts, and even see "luck" that even the great powers in the tribulation period cannot see.
Luck is a very mysterious thing. It is a kind of energy of heaven and earth that cannot be described.
Everyone has luck, and even a country has its own destiny. Luck determines the height of a person's life, and similarly, so does the fate of a country.
Luck cannot be observed, and the monks only use the word "luck", while the mortal world uses words such as "luck" and "luck" to summarize it. In order to enhance the good fortune, monks hold lamps on the lamps, and wear consecrated spiritual objects or gems in the mortal world, which may also play a small role.
Although Qian Yuexi has never been in the world, he still has his eyes high and looks down on ordinary people in the world. He has no intention of getting involved in the world of lower-class people. He only plans to take the high-end route of Yangchun Baixue.
He directly made a hexagram on the Tianshan Mountain. The hexagram indicated the directions with the greatest luck in the entire world. Then he raised the flying magic weapon, and the old god was on his way.
Qian Yuexi, a young man who has grown up in ambition, plans to go and see what is different about the places where great luck gathers in the world. I also plan to do something to make a name for myself.
He traveled to many places in those years.
He uses a luck chart, and those who can be calculated are the most outstanding ones. For example, if one of the dynasties had a prosperous country, Qian Yuexi could tell at a casual glance that this dynasty would sweep away the land and unify the Central Plains in the near future. For example, in an inaccessible valley, an ancient cave will appear in the near future, and a dragon in the cold pool may be able to jump over the dragon gate if it devotes itself to cultivation.
Everything in the world is invisible to him.
Just like this, after a few years in the human world, Qian Yuexi's figure changed from a boy to a young man. At the end of a certain year, I was preparing to return home. On the way back to Tianshan, I took a wrong turn and entered a country that was about to perish.
The reason why he noticed this country called "Chu Country" was because there was something really strange here.
The dragon vein symbolizing the fate of the country hovers over the capital, and its body is extremely damaged, which is a metaphor for the collapse of the building.
Within ten years, this dynasty will definitely cease to exist.
The strange thing is that even though this dragon's energy has been exhausted, the sky in the capital of the Chu Kingdom is covered with purple clouds that symbolize deep blessings.
Purple is the most noble color. Even the dynasty that Qian Yuexi passed through a few years ago cannot compare to the color of the sky above the capital of Chu State today.
It is a pity that this purple cloud was just born and cannot save a country from decline. But such a large area of luck still aroused Qian Yuexi's curiosity. So he took out the hexagram plate that had not been used for a long time and walked along the place with the most luck.
The final destination is the imperial palace of Chu State, where palace people carry lanterns and shuttle between the palaces and pavilions.
After a few years in the world, Qian Yuexi still understood the most basic rules. He casually performed an invisibility trick and walked into the palace under the watchful eyes of everyone who was seriously ill.
Qian Yuexi thought that he would see some treasured and enshrined artifact of a great country, such as Lantian and Shibi. What's worse is that the palace has a good Feng Shui layout, which is just in line with the dragon's heart.
Unexpectedly, what he saw was not these dead objects, but a person.
To be precise, he is a young boy.
The young man is sitting in the East Palace, wearing a white-gold robe with ancient jade hanging around his waist. He is very noble at his young age. His unopened face is calm and serious. Just by looking at his eyebrows, you can tell what he will be like when he grows up. Qingjun elegance.
The prince was giving lectures in front of him, and the young prince listened attentively. From time to time, he lowered his head and dipped his head in ink to write down a few strokes.
Qian Yuexi, who had used the invisibility technique, stood by the window sill, his usually expressionless purple eyes now filled with doubts.
To put it bluntly, if you take a look at the luck of a country, it cannot compare to the little prince of Chu State in front of you. In other words, it is really weird that even such a heavy fortune cannot save a country from decline.
He felt strange, so he silently remembered the incident in his heart and returned to Tianshan.
Time flies by like a white horse, and ten years pass by in a blink of an eye.
This time, when Qian Yuexi came down the mountain again, he had transformed from a young man into a man and succeeded the legendary title of the master of the Tianji Sect.
The master of Tianji Sect is not born easily. Qian Yuexi went down the mountain this time to place his master's bones, and by the way, he followed Tianjipan's instructions and went to the world to find the candidate for the Son of Destiny.
The previous sect leader gave all his power to Qian Yuexi. Although he died without leaving a single word, Qian Yuexi stubbornly wanted to bury his master in a place with peach blossoms.
The previous sect leader was destined to be a peach blossom demon. Even when he died, he was staring at the only flower bed in Tianshan Mountain, his eyes full of nostalgia. Qian Yuexi thought that he should fulfill his master's unfulfilled wish.
Perhaps it was God's will. This time when he went down the mountain, he met again the little prince whose purple energy filled the entire capital in a small border town.
At that time, the little prince was no longer the prince of Chu, but the chief disciple of the Taiyan Sect dressed in white.
The young man in white clothes is only in the Qi refining stage, but he carries a cool and upright look. His black hair is neatly tied in his crown, and he holds a long sword and is full of energy.
After doing some calculations, Qian Yuexi realized that a few years ago, when the king of Chu died, the entire Chu State was devastated and turned into nothing under the influence of Qi's soldiers and cavalry.
Of the entire palace, only the little prince in front of him survived.
Qian Yuexi held an incense burner and stood under the withered tree, having some enlightenment.
The young man's profound blessings were completely ineffective for the Chu State. It turned out to be because his path to heaven was not in the mortal world, but in the world of cultivation.
Those who are chosen by Heaven to have great opportunities will always take away the advance price required for success.
The master of the Tianji Sect looked over there from afar.
The little prince has not been in the world of cultivation for a long time, but he still can't let go of the worldly relationship. He occasionally sneaks out of the Taiyan Sect's mountain gate and returns to his homeland to reminisce about his old dreams.
When Qian Yuexi saw him, he was helping a refugee from Chu who had been wandering around since the fall of the old country. He raised his sword and used a magical power, causing the ragged refugees to kneel down and shout loudly. Calling "His Royal Highness."
When he raised his head, his eyes were brighter than the stars.
In the heart of the distant and indifferent sect master, an invisible seed was quietly planted.
