"Your Majesty, you can't do it!" Bo Zhu rushed over and hugged Cui Jue's leg, looking up at her pitiful little face, her eyes burst into tears as soon as she squeezed her eyes.
Xie Bian hurriedly begged: "My lord, don't get angry. Master's personality is a bit unruly, but there is no malice. Please forgive him."
Zhong Kui was also taken aback: "Ziyu, don't be impulsive, I was wrong, we have been friends for so many years, do you want me to die young?"
Ye You also persuaded: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
Cui Jue smiled coldly: "You ignore the laws of the underworld and violate the prohibition repeatedly. I see that the emperor relies on you, and I have never punished you. It seems that I have indulged you too much, which made you so unscrupulous." He opened his lips slightly, and breathed into the book of life and death, the pages of the book rustled automatically without turning, and finally a page spread out, "I will let you know today, the law of the underworld..." He looked down at The book of life and death, but people were suddenly stunned.
Everyone watched Cui Jue's face change, and the hall of Jiuyun was so quiet that a needle could be heard.
Fan Wuxi broke the silence: "Fu Jun, what's wrong?"
Cui Jue stared at Zhong Kui, his eyes were a little red, his chest heaved forcefully, and he reprimanded sharply: "You always do your own thing and don't listen to dissuasion, do you think that you are so capable that you really have no taboos? As a martial artist Judge, don't you know that if you create cause and effect indiscriminately, you will suffer from it!"
Xie Bian had never seen Cui Jue like this before, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart: "Fu Jun, what, what's wrong?"
Zhong Kui put away his hippie smile, and pondered, "My lifespan has decreased, right?"
Xie Bian froze. With Zhong Kui's cultivation level, it is not a problem to live a hundred years. If it is only a decade or two, Cui Jue will not have such a big reaction, unless...
Cui Jue closed the book of life and death, pursed his lips and remained silent.
"How long is left?" Zhong Kui asked himself and answered, "Oh, you can't tell. It seems that there are not long left."
Xie Bi'an said anxiously: "Master Fu, you, could you be mistaken? If you take another look, how could it be reduced for no reason?"
"There is no such thing as 'no reason' in this world." Cui Fujun said in a low voice, "Whatever the cause is, what the result will be. If you frequently interfere in human affairs, you will only bear more and more karma."
Zhong Kui smiled: "I am a living person, how can I completely transcend the world of mortals? If I hide in the underworld because I am afraid of death, and do not involve cause and effect, then what is the point of practicing Taoism in my life. Life and death have their own determinants, no big deal, Besides, if I die, I’m a real errand.”
Bo Zhu hugged Cui Jue's leg, and begged, "Fu Jun, can you give the Celestial Master a longer life? He is a hero and righteous in the world, and it is a blessing."
"Bo Zhu, don't talk nonsense." Zhong Kui reprimanded lightly, "Mr. Cui's residence must not be favoritism."
"Those who can increase their longevity must have great merit. You used the Donghuang Bell to reconstruct the enchantment of Fengdu, and you have increased your longevity by 20 years, but you created this cause and effect unintentionally..." Cui Jue said angrily, "What did you do in the world?" What?!"
The three masters and apprentices were silent. Zhong Kui had a conflict with the leader of the world of cultivating immortals in Shushan. This was the most likely reason for Zhong Kui's life.
"Yeyou said that you stayed in Shushan for several days, and one night Cangfeng had a strong ghost aura. What happened to you in Shushan? Is it related to this?"
Xie Bian looked at Zhong Kui anxiously, his eyes full of anxiety.
Fan Wuxi whispered: "Brother, don't worry, cause and effect can be reversed."
Zhong Kui replied: "In the cave of Diancang Peak, we found a wild ghost that was sealed by the Tiangang Positive Demon Binding Formation. It is very likely that Li Buyu did it."
Ye You was puzzled and said: "Shu Mountain is too yang, I can't even get close to Diancang Peak, why wasn't that ghost discovered before?"
"That night, there was a small earthquake in Shushan, which destroyed the formation, so he was released."
Ye You frowned, thoughtful.
Cui Jue said solemnly: "It is indeed possible to reverse the cause and effect. Your fate depends entirely on your future choices. Since you have already been involved in this matter, you can only take one step at a time."
"No matter what, I will investigate to the end." Zhong Kui laughed, "You guys, don't be so serious, I really want to know who can kill me."
"Master, don't talk nonsense." Jie Bian's face was extremely ugly, "We must not let such a cause and effect happen."
Zhong Kui patted Xie Bian on the shoulder: "My boy, it's okay, everything is predetermined, so don't worry about it."—
After Cui Jue left, Xie Bian kept frowning and his mind was in chaos.
Seeing his distraught appearance, Fan Wuxi called out helplessly, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother?"
"Huh?" Xie Bian looked at Fan Wuyin.
"It's time to change my medicine."
"Oh, yes." Jie Bian took the medicine box, carefully took care of Fan Wuxi's wound, and said softly, "This wound is getting better every day, and it won't be long before the arm can move."
"Brother, don't think too much. Every choice a person makes will affect the future, so there are still many turning points for this matter."
"Of course I know that one thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon, and karma always exists in an object, a word, or an event." Xie Bian said seriously, "It's just that with Master's cultivation, He is no longer suffering from illness and old age, the only thing that can take away his life span is an accident, and this accident..."
And this accident could only be a massacre. In both worlds of humans and ghosts, there are not many people who have the ability to put Zhong Kui to death, and Zhong Kui just happened to offend one, so how can people not be worried.
"Master must be aware of these worries. How could he be someone who will be captured without a fight? Now that we know about this, it is actually a good thing. Let us be even more wary of Li Buyu."
Xie Bian nodded and sighed softly: "You are talking about it. I just... the master raised me. To me, he is also my master and father. He is the most important person to me. I can't let him have an accident."
Fan Wuxi was silent for a moment: "Even if your most important person is really dead, you can meet again in the underworld."
but me…
"Having said that, Master is fond of the human world. If Master is lucky enough to ascend, it would be good, but he will never see him again. If he cannot ascend, he will continue to be a judge, but he will no longer be able to travel around the world and taste The wine in the world, how sad he must be, maybe he wants to reincarnate, if reincarnated, I will not see him again." Xie Bian rubbed his temples that were swollen again, "Master can't die, he can't die. Damn."
"He won't die." Fan Wuzhen's voice has not changed completely, and the voice has a childish voice, but with that firm tone, the words he said are very soothing, "We will find out the truth and preemptive strikes. Let Li Buyu not have the chance to harm Master."
Xie Bian clenched his fists secretly: "Wu Ying, teach me Zong Xuan's sword skills."
"Are you really determined to learn?"
"Well." Xie Bian's eyes were firm, "I am not strong enough, if I am strong enough, you will not be injured, and Master will also help. Although Master's Qingfeng swordsmanship is also very powerful, but I have a I have a hunch that Zongxuan's swordsmanship matches mine inexplicably, and I will definitely be able to practice it well."
"You said you could guess my sword move at that time."
"Yes, doesn't this mean that I have a predestined relationship with this swordsmanship?" Xie Bian said, "I will not use it in front of others easily, and you should not tell Master. Maybe you and I can Integrating Qingfeng Sword and Zongxuan Sword better will exert even stronger power."
Fan Wuxi said calmly: "Okay, I will teach you."
The Zongzi Heng in the previous life had already broken through the eighth heaven of the Zongxuan Sword. This kind of talent engraved in his fate would not change even if he was reincarnated.
Seeing Xie Bi'an's eagerness to try, Fan Wuzhe felt a sense of emotion in his heart. Extreme talent is not only a gift, but also a curse. He remembered the words Shen Shiyao said to him - the sun and the moon cannot shine together.
That is the root of all tragedies.
Fortunately, in this life, they have no conflict of interests, and Jie Bian has no possibility of becoming the eldest son Heng—
During Fan Wushi's recuperation period, Zhong Kui had two correspondences with Chunyang Sect, and he tried his best to persuade Zhao Wen and other elders to ask Xu Zhinan to leave the customs early.
Originally, he wanted to go in person, but since the incident of the book of life and death happened, Xie Bian was more nervous than anyone else, and he was not allowed to go to the human world easily. In the end, both master and apprentice took a step back, and if Zhaowen still disagreed after Fan Wuxi recovered from his injury, the three of them would go to Chunyang Sect together.
So these days, Zhong Kui stayed in the underworld obediently, and Jie Bian rarely went to the human world except to collect souls and buy them. He practiced the sword regularly every day, and in private secretly taught Zongxuan's swordsmanship by Fan Wushi. Just as he thought, he seemed to be born with a certain perception of this swordsmanship, and he learned it quickly and comprehended it quickly. , improve every day.
After getting along for a long time, Fan Wuxi discovered that although Zhong Kui is the master, Xie Bian is more like the head of the family, inside and out, every detail, taking care of everything, as if the sense of mission of being the "eldest son" is innate The one who came was exactly the same as the eldest son Heng back then.
For example, during this period of time, in order to heal Fan Wushi’s wounds, the daily soup is a medicinal diet. In pursuit of efficacy, the taste must be sacrificed. After eating, Zhong Kui and Bo Zhu complained endlessly, and Fan Wushi also found it unpalatable, but he never uttered a word. First, he likes Xie Bian's feelings for him, and second, he knows it's useless to complain, and Xie Bian has the final say on the matter of eating.
It's just that his injury has healed in sevens and eighties, and no matter how much blood he lost, he will regain it. If he takes some vigorous supplements, he will inevitably have some uncontrollable reactions.
That night, because his wound was growing new flesh, it was always itchy. It was fine when he was awake, but he couldn't help scratching in his sleep. To prevent him from scratching the wound, Xie Bian slept with him. He fell asleep with the refreshing fragrance of orchids, his blood was boiling and rushing in his body, and in his hazy consciousness, it seemed that there was an extremely sweet thing beside him, luring him to approach...
