Hu Yun originally thought that he had practiced hard enough, but when he thought about the situation when he would meet Lu Shanjun in the future, he suddenly felt that he had to work harder. At least he had to have a chance to explain himself. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to be swallowed up as soon as they met.
'Hey, Mr. Lian Ji didn't say anything... It seems that I haven't practiced hard enough...'
Hu Yun thought so sadly.
In fact, Ji Yuan knew about Hu Yun's practice over the years. He worked much harder and more diligently than ordinary monsters, and his progress was also amazing. Ji Yuan just didn't want to interfere with Xiezhi's methods of training his disciples. He also knew that Lu Shanjun would not really do anything to Hu Yun.
No one knew what was going on in Hu Yun's mind. He clearly understood that Lu Shanjun wished him the best, but understanding was one thing and he was really afraid. He always felt that Lu Shanjun might eat him at random. Even with his current level of cultivation, he would avoid more than two dogs in Ning'an County.
Although Ji Yuan was playing chess, just like his method of deducing from books, he was also deducing from chess. The advantage was that he did not have to concentrate on the chessboard all the time, because the chess pieces would remain there after being placed without being moved, and he could continue to deduce with continuity.
At this moment, Ji Yuan held a black piece in his hand and scanned the overall chessboard. It seemed that the chessboard did not have 19 vertical and horizontal lines, but was constantly extending, and evolved into mountains, rivers, the earth, and all things. The black and white things on it seemed that they were not simple chess pieces, but the destiny of all living beings on the chessboard.
In the corner of the chessboard in sight, there are endless blue waves on the vast ocean, but if you look more closely, you will find that there is a brilliant light in it. When the black piece in Ji Yuan's hand falls, a red light rolls, and golden lines fly out from the brilliant light. The white pieces that were originally connected seem to have ripples as well.
Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the white chess box. Suddenly, a chess piece flew out and naturally flew to the side where the black piece had landed before. The ripples of the white piece then stopped.
"It's beyond reason, but also within expectation."
Xiezhi, who had already approached the stone table, looked in front of Ji Yuan. What he saw was still an ordinary chessboard, but he also knew that Ji Yuan could not be just playing chess for fun.
"What did you see?"
When Xiezhi asked this, Ji Yuan looked up at him, nodded and shook his head.
"In fact, it is not surprising to me that there are people from the opposite camp in the immortal world, or in other words, in the righteous ways of cultivation in all walks of life. After all, the secrets of heaven and earth also bring an irresistible opportunity. Even the most advanced cultivators may not be able to escape the temptation. But there is still one thing that is unclear."
Xiezhi frowned. Even Ji Yuan didn’t know about this
"What's up?"
Ji Yuan looked at the chessboard and murmured.
"Time has passed, the world is no longer the same as it was in ancient times. It is they who need to break the impasse, not us. We can take it slow, but time is on our side. How can we break the impasse?"
The natural pressure of heaven and earth exists, and it is impossible for his true body to be here in its prime. It is too difficult to break heaven and earth. Moreover, all living beings and heaven and earth complement each other. Although the negative aspects of all living beings also affect heaven and earth, now under Ji Yuan's chess game, the trend is for the better. So if this situation is not broken, how can we talk about the return of the old heaven and earth, and how can we talk about the great cause of transcendence
Xiezhi’s brows jumped.
"Why do I feel like you care about this matter more than they do? Just delay it as long as possible. Give it a few hundred years or a thousand years, or even just a few dozen or a hundred years to experience the power of the change. By then, the world will be completely new, and the living space of the evil demons will be even narrower. Isn't that wonderful?"
Xiezhi refers to the most critical links in Jiyuan's chess game. In the human world, there are hundreds of schools of thought, and the brilliant and dazzling ones lead the world. There is also communication with the underworld, and even the way of reincarnation is deduced. Even some difficult-to-resolve grudges and unwillingness will have more opportunities to be resolved, and it can also melt away the hostility and guide people to do good. At the same time, the way of gods can have a new chapter. In short, it is to interfere with or even snatch part of the way of heaven and earth, lead each path to the right path, give sentient beings more paths, and make up for some deficiencies in the number of days.
It can be said that Ji Yuan's chess moves are, in the general direction, an upright formation and advancement. It doesn't matter even if they are seen through, because by the time they can be seen through, that's when the chess moves will be effective. In Ji Yuan's words, I'm not playing any tricks on you, I'm just pushing forward head-on.
Most of the time, Ji Yuan was just there to stir up some trouble, without any earth-shattering moves. But now, the situation has become so diverse that flowers are blooming everywhere, and even the Yellow Spring in the underworld cannot be stopped.
To put it bluntly, the power of righteousness is still stronger in this world today. Under this premise, the petty thieves who can only act secretly cannot resist Ji Yuan's conspiracy at all, and this conspiracy is difficult to see. I am afraid that most people think that the current changes are the natural process of history.
But it is obvious that those who stand on the opposite side of Ji Yuan must have made more than one move. For example, the matter of Jingxuan Haige is obviously one of them.
“Perhaps the breakthrough point is still in the two wastelands?”
Xiezhi said this, and Ji Yuan did not refute it. After all, the words left by the founder of Yunshan Temple were closely related to Heihuang, but there was also a sentence "the sun is crying".
Regardless of whether the founder of Yunshan Temple really has the ability to make accurate statements, let's just assume that it is very likely. Then Ji Yuan is afraid that it is also related to the sun.
After all, fighting against the Golden Crow was secondary, but how could the living things in the world escape the radiance of the sun? Ji Yuan did not think that the Golden Crow was the same as the sun, but the relationship between the two was definitely significant.
"You've already taken the lead. If you've figured it all out, what's the point of them getting by? At worst, we can just fight head-on. Who's afraid of who?"
Ji Yuan also smiled.
"There is really no need to be afraid. Even if I cannot win, there are many capable people in the world, and there is always a glimmer of hope for everything."
Not only Hu Yun was confused by what Ji Yuan and Xiezhi said, but Zao Niang on the side also didn't quite understand. However, she also knew that what the master was thinking about must be a major matter concerning the way of heaven and earth.
"Sir, you will definitely win!"
Zao Niang interrupted and said this, and Xiezhi quickly agreed with a slightly flattering tone.
"Yes, yes, yes, what Zao Niang said is right. There is no need to say anything discouraging. After a while, we will start the Way of Money and wait for Huang Quan to appear in the underworld."
Ji Yuan put down the chess piece in his hand, and today's deduction ended here.
"Speaking of Huangquan, I'm sure there are many people who want to find me for a chance."
"Of course not. Many people are probably going crazy!"
Hearing Xiezhi's slightly teasing tone, Ji Yuan felt that the last three volumes of "Huangquan" should be sent out.
…
Far away in a mountain in Hengzhou in the northern border, Lu Shanjun, whom Hu Yun had been thinking about, had just taken action. At this moment, he and Lao Niu, who had also taken action together, were calming down and looked thoughtful.
The ghosts that were sent out before came back and brought back some bad news. They went too late and failed to run into Lian Ping'er, and Aze was probably still possessed by a demon. They briefly met Aze, who seemed to be possessed by a demon, in the sky above Ruanshan Ferry, but were unable to communicate.
While the two ghosts were talking, Lu Shanjun suddenly realized something. He roared and attacked the void, forcing out a demonic shadow. It was not known whether it was Aze, but it was obvious that he wanted to invade the minds of Lu Shanjun and Niu Batian with his demonic thoughts.
When Lu Shanjun and Lao Niu encountered such a thing, of course they would attack back fiercely at the first opportunity. Even if it was Aze, they could not hold back after he was possessed by the devil.
But the evil shadow was very slippery, and tried to influence Lao Niu and Lu Shanjun to attack each other. After failing, it fought with the two of them. After finding that there was no chance to attack them head-on, it quickly disappeared without a trace. It was really weird.
The two were not afraid that Lian Ping'er would know about the devouring of the two monks Xia and Liu. After all, Lu Shanjun and Niu Batian's own personalities were there. They might do anything if they were unhappy. Moreover, they were on good terms with Bei Mu, so they had good reasons to be unhappy about the matter of Jingxuan Hai Pavilion.
But if that evil shadow is Aze, it would be a bit troublesome.
"This demon's form is as changeable as a phantom, and its demonic energy is purer than anything I've ever seen. But in terms of purity, I'm afraid it's not even as pure as the Northern Demon. It's very likely that it was transformed by Aze! Old Lu, you shouldn't have shown mercy just now!"
Lao Niu sighed and Lu Shanjun frowned slightly. In fact, he had a chance to swallow the demon shadow in one gulp just now. With the power of his true body, Lu Wu, the demon shadow would have no hope of escape after being swallowed. But thinking that his master valued Aze very much, even Lu Shanjun hesitated and let the demon shadow escape.
"It's really my fault! Next time I see you, I won't hold back..."
"No need for next time. I can still smell a hint of evil spirit."
The usually cheerful and emotional Lao Niu now seemed even more heartless than the cold-blooded Lu Shanjun. He stared at Lu Shanjun and said.
"Let's chase!"
Lu Shanjun looked at the old cow and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Don't look at me like that. If he is really Aze, we should help him get rid of it!"
Lu Shanjun turned his gaze to the distance, sniffed the subtle demonic energy, and said with a flash of his eyes.
“I just think that since the gentleman values Aze so much, is he really that obsessed?”
"Alas, the way of heaven is ruthless, and Mr. Ji can't predict everything in the world!"
Lao Niu shook his head and sighed, then rode away with Lu Shanjun. Perhaps the evil spirit was deliberately led over by the demon shadow, but he and Lu Shanjun were not afraid.
In the distance, another Aze was still chasing Lian Ping'er based on his feeling. After a long time, a demon shadow exactly like him merged into his body, making him understand what had happened before.
Aze recognized Lu Shanjun and Niu Batian. These two powerful monsters were present at the underwater conference.
Judging from the performance of the two ghost minions before, these two big monsters are just as they seemed that day, and they are extremely incompatible with Lian Ping'er. Although the expressions of the two monsters did not change after seeing Aze's evil shadow, there was a hint of concern and anger in their emotions, but Aze did not trust them either.
In this world, Aze only trusts a few people, one is Ji Yuan, one is Jin Xiu, one is Ying Niangniang, and the rest may be Agu and others in Jiufeng Cave Heaven.
But although Daze did not trust the two big monsters and did not want to contact them, he was happy to lead them to Lian Ping'er.
