Chapter 506 Traveling in the Clouds

While establishing Jingyao as the crown prince, the Divine Emperor also issued another imperial decree.

Zhang Yiai, the commander of the Qingtian Division, was ordered to investigate the case of Zhao Layue's assassination outside Beijing that year, and finally found out the residence of Prince Jingxin.

——It turned out that it was Prince Jing Xin who used the assassin of Bulao Lin to do such a heinous thing.

In fact, everyone has known about this matter for a long time, but this time the court finally brought this matter to the fore, and produced evidence that was either real or fabricated, so it was impossible for Prince Jing Xin to live in the Prince's Mansion any longer, even if he was under confinement, he needed to change places.

Prince Jing Xin was sent to Guocheng Temple to become a monk to pray for the late emperor.

The two edicts before and after caused an uproar in the world. Everyone knows that Prince Jingyao is a disciple of Qingshan, and Prince Jing Xin is from the Zhongzhou faction. The two sides have been fighting secretly in Chaoge City for many years. Wouldn't these two edicts force the Zhongzhou faction to turn their backs? Are the two leaders of the righteous way really going to start an all-out war because of the position of the emperor?

At this time, an order from Tan Zhenren came out of Yunmeng Mountain——Yunmeng Mountain will be closed for three years.

A few years ago, Wu En Sect announced the closure of the mountain because Pei Baifa died at the hands of the Sword God of the West Sea. The sect did not have a big thing to support the sky, so it could only close the mountain for self-protection.

The Zhongzhou faction has not been going well these years, but the two Daoist Tanbai are still standing at the top of the world, and their background strength is still extremely strong. Why did they suddenly do this?

Yunmeng closed the mountain, and the Zhongzhou faction officials who supported Prince Jing Xin were leaderless. They didn't know how to deal with it. In addition, Yimao Zhai, represented by the Prime Minister, remained strangely silent. The two imperial edicts were successfully promulgated without any obstacles.

This situation is all because of that sword light.

The sword light that criss-crossed the sky and the earth was invincible, and no one even dared to look at it.

It is said that the unicorn beast of the Zhongzhou faction once took a look at the sword light from a distance, but almost had an accident.

The present Master Liu Ci can be said to be the strongest in the millennium, and even ranks in the top three among the previous masters of Qingshan.

People don't understand, he has already reached this level, what are you waiting for if he doesn't ascend?

...

...

The sound of the waves in the East China Sea is no different from that in the West Sea.

A convoy from Chaoge City arrived at Moqiu, and left again without staying for long, heading for Shuiyue Nunnery by the sea.

Jing Jiu's gaze followed the convoy into the nunnery before turning away.

"This scene is a bit embarrassing." Liu Ci said.

Prince Jing Xin was in that convoy.

The emperor's will was to let him go to Guocheng Temple to become a monk, and then he would accompany Qingdeng Ancient Buddha to listen to scriptures, but Guocheng Temple refused to accept him.

Given the close relationship between Guocheng Temple and Jing's royal family, he would actually do this. It can only be said that Zenzi has a lot of resentment against Liu Ci for letting Daoist Taiping go.

The embarrassment Liu Ci refers to is that Jing Xin was forced to go to a nunnery to become a monk, and he was also a little ashamed of Zen Zi.

Jing Jiu said, "Being a monk is not death, it's always a problem."

The imperial decree has been promulgated to the world. I believe that in a few years, Jing Yao will become the only prince in the hearts of the people in the world. The problem is that when that day comes, the Zhongzhou faction will definitely do something. As long as Jing Xin is alive, he will definitely be pushed out by those people.

Knowing the relationship between father and son, Liu Ci couldn't explain it to him. He walked to the edge of the cliff, looked into the deep underground, and said, "I haven't been there yet."

This is the Tongtianjing by the East China Sea, if you jump down, you can go to the underworld, if you can not die.

The underworld is just a gloomy and dark point, not the place where the soul returns in the myth. If you die, you won't go there, and you don't know where you will go.

The pursuit of practitioners is to never touch this problem.

Jing Jiu said, "It's a bitter place where you don't see the sun, and there's no scenery, so you don't have to go."

Liu Ci said: "Then there is another place worth visiting."

What he was talking about was the snowfield, where the highest level of life in the Chaotian Continent was located, and the greatest threat to the human race.

Jing Jiu said, "Calm down."

...

...

Leaving the Tongtianjing and coming to the East China Sea, Liu Ci still didn't give up on that idea.

The last sword fell on the snow field. For human cultivators, it was really the best ending.

He said: "You have also seen Cao Yuan's knife, if he helps me, it may not be impossible."

Jing Jiu said, "No."

Liu Ci sighed and said, "Then I'll be leaving now."

He is going to leave Chaotian Continent and travel to other continents.

As for the situation in Chaotian Continent, as long as he is still alive, no one will dare to do anything, and it doesn't matter whether he stays here or not.

When he really leaves, Chaotian Continent will naturally know.

Jing Jiu glanced at Baiyun at his feet, and said, "Are you sure you don't need to take Yuxifeng with you?"

It is very difficult to refine one's own flying sword. It is even more troublesome for Feijian to change hands between sword repairers. Only Jing Jiu was in a special situation. He had a way to use his own sword for others, and he could also use other people's swords for his own use. For example, Firth Sword should be considered as shared by him and Zhao Layue now.

Liu Ci has only cultivated one sword in his life, but he didn't use it until the last few days. Of course, he used it very smoothly, and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go with me?"

Jing Jiu said, "I've been to those places, it's so boring."

For many people, traveling is a very pleasant thing. For him, it may feel a little new for the first time, and it is a waste of time to go there once.

Jing Jiu glanced at his feet and couldn't help saying, "Jian Yun is really slow."

Liu Ci was a little annoyed, and said, "Do you understand Yunyou? Of course you have to travel on the cloud!"

After saying these words, he rose up on the clouds and headed for the depths of the East China Sea.

The sun shines on the clouds, outlining the Phnom Penh.

Qing'er flew out and landed on Liu Ci's shoulder, pointing to the distant sky, not knowing what to say.

Jing Jiu watched quietly until the cloud disappeared into the sky, then turned and left.

...

...

Jing Jiu went to Shuiyue Nunnery to take a look at Winter, who was still asleep, and returned to Qingshan without going to see Jing Xin or Guocheng Temple.

The cold sword light illuminated Shenmo Peak, and three people and one cat came out to welcome them.

Gu Qing knew that something serious must have happened and wanted to come back, but because Jing Yao had just been made the crown prince and there were many things going on in Chaoge City, Zhao Layue did not agree.

After Yuan Qu and Ping Yongjia saluted, they returned to the palace honestly.

Gu Qing was not there, but the rules were in place - when the two teachers wanted to talk, the disciples had to stay away.

The white cat was not a disciple, and felt that he had earned some glory this time, so he naturally didn't hide, lying on the edge of the cliff, ready to listen to the excitement with his ears open.

The bamboo reclining chair was under Xue Ji's body at this time, and Liu Shisui promised to make a new one, but Jing Jiu didn't bother to do it now, so he sat on the edge of the cliff.

It may also be because I see Liu Ci sitting like this a lot.

It's just that his legs are not as long as Liu Ci's, so he can only step on the sea of ​​clouds, but cannot reach in and step out of the waves.

Zhao Layue sat down beside him.

Jing Jiu said, "That ghost is Liu Ci."

When he was in Xihai, Liu Ci stood in front of Daoist Taiping, covered the sky with his palm, and took away those thunders.

At that time, Zhao Layue guessed the answer and asked, "The head supports Daoist Taiping?"

Jing Jiu said: "No, even his most loyal subordinates don't really support him, including people from the underworld, because he is crazy."

Zhao Layue asked: "What exactly does Master Taiping want to do?"

Jing Jiu said, "He wants to kill all mortals and create a world where there are only practitioners."

Hearing this answer, Zhao Layue was surprised.

She had guessed countless times what evil deeds Taiping really wanted to do, which would be tolerated by the world, but she still didn't expect such a bizarre, evil and even absurd idea.

A few days ago in the imperial palace of Chaoge City, the Divine Emperor had a similar conversation with Concubine Hu Gui. At that time, Hu Guifei's reaction was how could this be possible. Zhao Layue didn't say this because she knew that if the practice sect really went crazy, it could easily kill all mortals. The question is...why do you want to do this? Ascetics are one in a thousand or even one in a thousand. If there are not enough human races, how can the practice world continue, let alone killing all mortals, wouldn't it be to let the race be wiped out?

In addition to this most important problem, there are also some problems that Zhao Layue can't solve, and said: "You said that practitioners are supported by mortals."

Jing Jiu said: "He doesn't think so. He thinks it's not ordinary people supporting practitioners, but practitioners are providing jobs for ordinary people and supporting them."

Zhao Layue said: "There are no mortals, who will farm, mine, and pick sea pearls, and who will provide the resources needed by practitioners?"

Jing Jiu glanced at her.

Without a butcher, would you still eat meat?

There is no food, do you want to eat minced meat?

Zhao Layue knew she was wrong.

Just like all practitioners, he was used to being supported by mortals, so he took it for granted.

There are no mortals, and practitioners can farm, mine, pick sea pearls, and grow medicinal herbs by themselves.

Moreover, with the ability of practitioners to call the wind and rain, no matter what they do, they must be countless times more efficient than ordinary people.

There is only one more problem. Most of the practitioners are arrogant people, and they are all people who are dedicated to seeking the Tao. How could they be willing to do those things?

"Do farmers farm because they want to farm? Do miners like to dig in the dark underground? Ama..."

Jing Jiu thought of Liu's Ci and didn't continue to say it, but the meaning was already clear.

Even if practitioners don't want to do it, there will still be an invisible force forcing them to do it.

That power comes from the fear of death, from the need of the stronger.

Zhao Layue understood completely.

That would be a brand new world, but it would not be fundamentally different from the old world.

Practitioners will have different positions in that world according to their talents and abilities.

Still layer by layer.

Or draw the knife to the weaker.

The difference from today's world is probably just that those at the bottom are much more capable.

But in this way, at least the power of the new world will far exceed the current world.

Zhao Layue suddenly said: "There are too few practitioners."

This sentence sounds very powerful, but in fact it is a bit weak.

Knowing that she had the answer herself, Jing Jiu said, "So he thinks that the most important thing for practitioners is to have children."

He once said to Zhao Layue back then that if Daoist Taiping hadn't been unable to accept the appearance of a bloodline similar to his own in the world, he would have already planted seeds in the world.

Zhao Layue thought of another question. If practitioners form a Taoist couple, there is a high probability that the offspring will have spiritual bones and Taoism, and have the talent for cultivation, but there is also a certain probability of giving birth to mortals. What about those descendants who cannot practice? Are they all killed? This inference made her a little cold and extremely uncomfortable.

That is something that the evil sects, not even the Blood Demon Sect would do.

No wonder everyone wants to die in peace.

"He thinks this is the price one should pay for evolution. Although practitioners come from mortals, they are already two completely different lives from mortals."

Jing Jiu said: "If a practitioner wants to go further, he should travel lightly and throw away all the burdens of the old days."

Zhao Layue withdrew her legs, hugged her knees, and said in a low voice, "But the world is so big, no matter how powerful the practitioner's world is, even if it takes up all the other continents, so what? Since it is meaningless, why does he insist on making our world stronger?"

Jing Jiu said, "Because he sees more than our world."

Zhao Layue followed his gaze to the sky.

The clouds high in the sky fell on her black and white eyes, casting a faint shadow.
