"hiss-"
I couldn't help but take a deep breath, then whispered to myself, "No wonder the Xuan Jing Division spared no effort to plot against Zhan Qing. It turns out they are trying to eliminate the manpower of the Half-Life Dao."
Seventh Shui Lan said: "I have asked someone about Zhan Qing's affairs. When Xuan Jing Division detained Zhan Qing, most of Zhan Wuxiang's secret collection was destroyed, especially the body of the general was destroyed, which is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of Zhan Wuxiang's lineage defying the heaven."
I couldn't help but ask, "What is the body of a general?"
"It's a zombie that Zhan Wuxiang left behind in the secret vault." Seventh Shuilan said, "You've been into the Heavenly Dao Jade Disk, so you should know that the key to changing your fate is to move the thread of your own destiny under the strong pressure of Heavenly Dao."
"But the way of heaven is hard to find, the will of heaven is hard to change, and the majesty of heaven is hard to violate!"
The seventh Shui Lan pointed to the top of his head and said, "The world is vast, who can tell where the place closest to the thread of heaven is? Even if you find the place that connects to the sky, how can you find your own destiny from the intricate thread of fate? Even if you find your own destiny, how can you break through the pressure of heaven and move the trajectory of destiny?"
"This..." The series of questions from Seventh Shuilan left me speechless.
The seventh Shui Lan said: "Zhan Wuxiang left behind the body of a general, just to let his descendants get the strongest body in the world, break through the power of heaven, and go against the will of heaven to change their fate."
The seventh Shuilan said earnestly: "You must know that we warlocks cannot ascend to become immortals. Even until death, we are still mortals. If we use our mortal bodies to attack the way of heaven, we will be shattered to pieces under the might of heaven before we even touch the thread of fate. Only the bodies of generals and ministers who can withstand the thunder and fire of heaven have the hope of defying the heaven."
"It's a pity that Zhan Qing was killed by Lin Jingyuan just after he found Jiang Chen's body. The destruction of Jiang Chen's body was equivalent to the destruction of all Zhan Wuxiang's arrangements. Zhan Qing naturally lost his value, so Xuan Jingsi decided to kill him."
Seventh Shui Lan turned to look at me and said, "Now, the person who is most likely to succeed in defying the will of heaven is you, so the day when the Xuan Jing Division comes looking for you is probably not far away."
"Me?" I couldn't help but wonder, "Are you saying that I already have the qualifications to defy the heavens?"
"At least you have obtained the complete Xuanming inheritance." Seventh Shuilan said, "The function of the Xuanming Ice Armor is similar to that of the General's Body. You have already met one of the conditions."
Seventh Shui Lan said: "Ever since you received the Xuanming inheritance, the Xuanjing Division and the Hell Gate have been constantly testing your strength. Fortunately, you didn't show anything too outstanding, so they didn't rush to attack you, but patiently waited for you to find Ning Nitian's back-up plan."
"In order to divert the attention of Xuan Jing Division, I did not hesitate to expose myself, but Xuan Jing Division did not regard me as the biggest enemy. They still regarded you as their main target."
I looked at the seventh Shui Lan and said, "It's impossible that the Xuan Jing Division didn't have any precautions against you, right?"
"Yes." Seventh Shuilan said, "They even know that I have become the actual ruler of Hell Gate, but this does not hinder their original plan."
"You know, the overall strength of Hell Gate is the lowest among the four sects. Even if I control the entire Hell Gate, it is impossible to pose a fatal threat to Xuan Jing Division. Besides, there are Prajna Temple and Red Ding Mansion in the magic world, which are not weaker than Xuan Jing Division."
"As long as the Xuanjing Division is willing to give out some of the benefits of being a protector, Prajna Temple and Red Roof Mansion will most likely join forces with them. Hell Gate will definitely not be able to withstand the siege of the three factions."
I asked back, "Was it your plan to lure Xue Wuchang here this time?"
"That's right." Seventh Shuilan admitted, "Xue Wuchang is Senluo's trusted general. After killing Xue Wuchang, my next target will be Senluo. Within a month, I will completely control the Hell Gate. Before that, I will not have any contact with you again, so you must be more careful."
"I will." I thought for a moment and said, "There is a question I have always wanted to ask you. If I change my fate, even if I succeed, it will only push the thread of my own destiny. Will it have any effect on you or the Half-Fate Path?"
"Good question!" said the Seventh Shui Lan. "If you change your fate, it will be your own fate, but your fate will affect the fate of the entire Half-Life Path, and even all fortune tellers."
"The thread of fate is not without a source. Everything in this world, even gods and heaven, has a starting point. The same is true for the fate of fortune tellers and even sorcerers."
"Some people think that the fate of a sorcerer is determined by the Conferred God War, while others believe that the fate of a sorcerer originates from the ancient times. But no matter what, all fortune tellers have the same fate. It's like the branches on a big tree. Although all the branches are different, there is only one root. If you shake your own fate, it is equivalent to moving the branches that are connected to it, and then moving the fate of all fortune tellers."
The seventh Shui Lan sighed: "The founder of destiny left us the ability to deduce the past and the future, but left us with a fate of five disadvantages and three shortcomings. Why do we deduce the way of heaven? In the final analysis, it is just for survival. But who is willing to struggle with five disadvantages and three shortcomings?"
"Not all fortune tellers in the world want to change their fate, but at least half of them are unwilling to accept their fate completely. However, only those who follow the Half-Fate Path dare to stand up and change their fate. Therefore, the followers of the Half-Fate Path are the fortune tellers with the worst fate!"
"That's right." Ye Jin couldn't help but sigh, "Ban Ming Dao is indeed the most miserable fortune teller, no doubt about it."
I sighed with them and couldn't help asking, "Have you ever thought that there are traitors in the Half Life Sect?"
Seventh Shui Lan said: "Zhan Wuxiang and Ning Nitian both suspect that there is a traitor in Banming Dao, but no one has finally confirmed it. Moreover, I have always suspected that my notes kept disappearing because of the traitor's manipulation."
"But the descendants of the Half-Life Dao have long been scattered. Even Bai Ze and I have no way to find all of them. How can we tell who the traitor is?"
Seventh Shui Lan changed the subject and said, "I even suspect that Bai Ze's experience is related to the traitor. As far as I know, even if the people of Wang Qing Men help someone forget their love, they will not damage the other person's soul. But look at Bai Ze, it is obvious that his soul was damaged, which is why he lost most of his memories, and he also lost the ability to speak ancient and modern languages."
Seventh Shuilan was right. The divine beast Bai Ze knows everything about the past and present. If Ye Jin's soul had not been damaged, he could at least reveal the identity of the traitor, and at the very least, he could predict where our crisis came from. But now Ye Jin can only transform into Bai Ze, and he can't even clearly explain what he has experienced. How can he still have the ability to predict the past and present
I said in a deep voice: "Did you discover Ye Jin's identity?"
The seventh Shui Lan said: "The person who discovered Ye Jin's identity was not me, but Miao Kong. Miao Kong felt the aura of Ye Jin the first time he saw him. When the first generation of the Nine Half-Life Sons joined forces to create the Endless Blood Coffin, they integrated Bai Ze's blood into the blood coffin, so Miao Kong felt that Ye Jin was unusually kind."
"At that time, I also doubted Miaokong's judgment. Later, when I used the power of the Hell Gate to collect Ye Jin's information, I discovered the secret of his immortality. It was not until then that I suspected that Ye Jin was Bai Ze."
"Because I couldn't figure out Bai Ze's past, after I carefully recalled Ye Jin's performance in Shenmu Temple and the ghost realm, I found that he seemed to have forgotten his identity. Then I thought that he must have forgotten everything in Wangqingmen. At that time, I found Gu Piaoran, because I knew he had the secret records of Wangqingmen. We really found the record that the ancestor Wangqing had helped a Bai Ze forget everything."
"The Forget Love Sect has a habit of recording in the secret records why the employer forgot love. So even though most of Bai Ze's secret records have been lost, we can still infer from a few words that Bai Ze once made a choice between love and righteousness."
When I looked at Ye Jin, he had already shown an undisguised sadness in his eyes, but he tried his best to control his emotions: "Did I make the wrong choice that time?"
Seventh Shui Lan shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's not recorded in the secret records. If you want to regain your previous memories, you can go ask someone."
Ye Jin and I asked in unison: "Who?"
"Old Huangdou." Seventh Shuilan said very seriously, "Although the Wangqing Sect was destroyed, the descendants of Wangqing Sect are likely still hiding in the art. Back then, when Old Huangdou joined the Xuanjing Division and took charge of the Killing Hall, he also lost his memory like Ye Jin."
"Although Lao Huangdou was young at that time, her skills were already comparable to those of the masters of the time. Otherwise, the Xuanjing Division would not have allowed her to take charge of the Killing Hall, one of the five Xuanjing Halls. Think about it yourself. If she didn't want to, how many people in the world could force her to forget everything?"
Just as a glimmer of hope emerged in Ye Jin's eyes, Seventh Shui Lan continued, "However, I don't recommend that you really go find the heir of Wang Qing Sect. When the Wang Qing Patriarch cast a spell on Bai Ze, he must have had bad intentions, otherwise, Ye Jin's soul would not have been damaged so badly."
"More importantly, if we sort by time, the Forgetfulness Sect completely disappeared not long after Bai Ze lost his memory. No one can tell whether the Forgetfulness Sect left behind in the art world is the descendant they left behind by chance, or the hidden clues left behind by the protectors."
"If they are really the protectors, as long as Ye Jin finds them, the Xuan Jing Division will immediately hunt you down. Because Bai Ze's appearance means that the Half Life Path will rise again. This is the last thing the protectors can allow, so you must be more cautious."
When Ye Jin and I looked at each other, I couldn't help but feel deep worry in my eyes.
Half Life Path, Guardian of the Path, everything came so suddenly that I couldn't even digest the information. I felt that something big was about to happen! (To be continued)
