The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 254 Xue Ji's Death Breaks Seven in One Night ([-] words for subscription)

The Emperor waved his hand and forcibly changed the subject:
"Well, it's not important. I think the main thing is that a man lives in the world and does whatever he thinks of. Since you know her whereabouts and she is in danger, go if you want to. I support you. "

Ji Pingan said speechlessly: "I'm not..."

The emperor's chubby little face is old-fashioned:

"I understand. You are investigating the information held by the Four Sages, so as to find out the truth about the return of the stars. Besides, we will oppose what the enemy claims. Isn't that what you said back then?

If that's the case, let's go there, and it's best to kill the members of the Four Sages in Lanzhou in one fell swoop. In this way, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Demon Sect. right? "

Ji Pingan opened his mouth: "I..."

The Emperor of God patted the dust on his buttocks and said:
"Anyway, you should think about this matter carefully, ask yourself, when will you set off to inform us, if you are not going, then simply give me an answer, and then we can discuss whether Gou can practice in the city with peace of mind, or continue to investigate 'The world', or find other reborns."

After speaking, the little fat pier twisted his buttocks, stepped on the blue tiles, and stepped on the bamboo ladder carefully climbed down the roof, yawned and went to sleep.

It was unexpectedly free and easy, which made the national teacher a little envious.

"Ask your heart?"

Ji Pingan was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he took out the kit from his bosom, and poured out half of the dark green jade pendant.

……

"Is it a miracle?"

At the headquarters of the Four Saints Sect, Xue Ji heard the old woman's footsteps and left, whispering.

Involuntarily, a person appeared in my mind.

Then, she fumbled in the sleeves of the robe in a strange way, and when she spread her palm, there was half a piece of jade pendant in her palm.

The jade pendant was not big, it should have been in the shape of a ring originally, with simple patterns embossed and engraved on the surface, and the whole body was dark green, but it seemed to be cut in the middle by a sharp object, leaving only half of it.

No one knew that the item on the demon saint's body was left by her in her previous life.

To be precise, it is the only funerary object buried in his tomb by the "Lord Tingxue" in his twilight years more than three hundred years ago.

In this life, Xue Ji walked away for a long time after her rebirth, followed her memory to find her own tomb, and retrieved this funeral object from it.

It was precisely because of this action that he exposed himself to the eyes of the Four Sages, which indirectly led to being locked up in this cage again.

And if the Emperor is here, he will definitely recognize it at a glance:
This jade pendant was worn by a military adviser many years ago, but after he was captured by the demon saint, all his belongings were searched and taken away, including this one.

Xue Ji clearly remembered that after the God Emperor led the army to destroy the sub-rudder, she was able to "fake death" to escape, and then became worried after knowing it:
Will that guy go back on what he promised himself?

Men are always good at rhetoric, but now he is out of danger, and he is trapped in the army. The situation has reversed. Can the "cooperation" that was originally agreed be still fulfilled?

It's so strange, it should have been found a way to restrain them before the cooperation was reached, but for some reason it didn't.

Fortunately, the little military adviser of the rebel army really spent a lot of money, tried many methods, and finally took out the Gu worms in her body.

"From now on, you and I will not owe each other,"

In the room used as a temporary medical center, the young military master used his homemade "tweezers" to place a dead, blood-stained Gu worm on a porcelain plate, and said with a smile:
"Miss Xueji, congratulations on regaining your freedom."

The former Xue Ji sat in front of him, her clothes half-undressed, with a white arm open, a bloody hole on her shoulder, and the granulation was slowly wriggling.

Hearing this, he was stunned for a while, and said woodenly: "Thank you."

It's so strange, I thought that on the day of liberation, I would rejoice and be overjoyed, and rush to the world of freedom impatiently.

But when he really broke free from the shackles, there was no joy in his heart.

She remembered that she followed up and asked, "Then I will..."

The military division smiled and said, "You can leave anytime."

It was not until many years later that Xue Ji realized why she was not happy at all.

Because if the Gu worms are not removed for a day, she can use the excuse of "fulfilling the contract" to follow him, and the day the Gu worms are removed is the time when she wants to part with that little military advisor.

When Gu worms were planted in his body, he desperately wanted to leave.

But the Gu worms in his body were gone, and he desperately wanted to stay.

The Gu worms in the body have been pulled out, but the "Gu worms" in the heart are deeply rooted,

Only then did she discover that the "heart Gu" was far more powerful than the "Gu" used by the Demon Cult to manipulate people, and it made her follow her willingly, which was terrifying.

So she bandaged the wound, walked out of the "medical hall", wandered around the barracks for a while, and found the future emperor under the strange eyes of the soldiers, and asked the question out of nowhere:

"Can I join you?"

Standing in front of a huge map, the god emperor, who temporarily transferred his troops to rescue the army division, caused the defense line to become a mess, feeling extremely agitated.

Hearing this, he carefully examined the "demon girl" in front of him for a moment, and said coldly:

"You should know what will happen if the news of the Demon Sect's witch in the army gets out."

Xue Ji's face turned pale.

The emperor waved his hand and said:

"Of course, you were brought back by the military adviser after all. If you insist on following, you can go to the military adviser and tell him. If he agrees, I will agree."

Xue Ji nodded in a daze, and walked out of the big tent in a daze, then lingered outside the medical hall for a long time, but finally she didn't have the courage to go in.

Instead, he returned to his temporary residence and packed the package alone.

And found the military division's jade pendant from the package. She originally wanted to wait for the other party to fulfill the agreement before returning it to him, but suddenly she didn't want to give it back.

Just like that, Xue Ji, with bandages on her shoulders, walked out of the barracks step by step with her own small burden on her back, her pace getting slower and slower, hypocritically thinking that someone would come to keep her, but there was no such thing.

"Oh." She laughed at herself, raised her arm and wiped it quickly in front of her eyes, and then walked away quickly.

Unbeknownst to her, not long after she left, the military adviser who was busy with other things pushed her away from her residence with a food box, and was stunned to find that she had already left without saying goodbye.

The next day, the army pulled out the stronghold and headed north all the way.

Xue Ji was alone, heading south all the way.

Next, Xue Ji concealed her identity, and while she was wary of being found by the Demon Sect again, she began to walk around the rivers and lakes, following the stories told to her by the military adviser, all over the world.

Go to Wanzhou to see the broken bridge he mentioned.

Go to Yuezhou to climb the Goddess Peak he mentioned.

Go to Qingzhou to see the Chaoyang he mentioned.

Go to Beiguanzhou to see the wildest snow in the world.

Go to Leizhou to pick the sweet wild grapes he said.

……

Everywhere she went, she had to find well-informed people to inquire about the situation in Kyushu, and learned that the rebel army had attacked cities and villages all the way, and had already occupied several states.

became the biggest force.

She will laugh when she hears good news, and unhappy when she hears bad news, but it is always good news.

It's just that as the army became stronger and stronger, and the name of the military division spread all over the world, she found that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther to her dismay.

In fact, Xue Ji once had a dark thought in her heart:

It is to quietly hope that the rebel army will fail and be wiped out by the court, so that the military division is best to fail, and then flee to the rivers and lakes to hide under his name.

At that time, I will be a former demon saint, not a good person.

He is the former bandit leader of the rebel army, and he is also not a good person.

Don't dislike anyone, that's great.

But the reality often fails. Finally, several years later, when she walked to a place again, she was surprised to find that the city had been replaced with a familiar flag.

And got a big news: the rebel army has broken through the capital of Dagan and changed its flag.

Another year later, the world was initially settled, and news spread that the leader of the rebel army in Shendu was about to proclaim himself emperor, and the name of the country was Dazhou.

Xue Ji put her bags on her back and turned to Zhongzhou.

The day she entered the capital city happened to be the enthronement ceremony, the whole city of the capital city was decorated with lights and festoons, and the streets were crowded with crowds.

She was submerged in the crowd, and followed the flow of people all the way to the imperial city. From a distance, she saw two people on the top of the city who were being worshiped by soldiers all over the city.

One is the Divine Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the other is the Imperial Master of the Great Zhou.

Xue Ji stood in the crowd, as tiny as an inconspicuous ant.

She raised her head and squinted at the person on the top of the city, always feeling that the other person was looking at her, but there were tens of thousands of people in the square outside the imperial city, and the national teacher was just looking down on every citizen equally.

On that day, the sun was scorching hot, and Xue Ji's heart was like an abyss.

She finally gave up the idea of ​​trying to enter the imperial city: the aura emitted by those guarding the city made her afraid.

Xue Ji came, and Xue Ji left again.

From the beginning to the end, no trace was left in the city.

She returned to Lanzhou, returned to the familiar rivers and lakes, and learned that the Four Sages had been wiped out by that man, so she no longer had to worry about being found.

Therefore, Xue Ji, who was not considered young this year, decided to do something. She rescued some girls who were being kept by some forces in the rivers and lakes, and began to teach them cultivation and martial arts.

She doesn't like magic skills, so she didn't pass on magic skills. Considering that women are not good at melee combat, she focuses on hidden weapons.

Gradually, a female sect appeared in the rivers and lakes of Lanzhou, named Tingxuelou.

She chose the location of the sect and built a bamboo building. When she was not busy, she would stand in the bamboo building, stare blankly at the outside, and listen to the snow.

She likes the middle of winter, the days when the snow is blowing.

"Master, Master, why do you like snow days?"

After finishing her practice, the immature girl ran to the bamboo building and asked with her head tilted.

Crow's feet had grown out of the corners of her eyes, and the aging Xue Ji raised a finger to her lips, and said:

"Hush. Listen carefully, the sound of snow falling."

The girl listened carefully, and said puzzledly, "There is clearly no sound."

Xue Ji shook her head and said:

"Someone is telling a story, and there is a story in every snowflake."

The girl held her head, tried hard to think but couldn't figure it out, she simply gave up, turned around and ran down the bamboo building.

Fighting with the other girls in the mountains with bamboo swords, only a string of white footprints were left on the floor, which slowly melted into water.

A year has passed.

Three years have passed.

Ten years have passed.

20 years have passed.

Every winter, Xue Ji would stand in the bamboo building, Tingxue Building gradually became a scale, and she could gain a foothold by herself. With a new "landlord", she, the leader of the faction, is getting older and older.

The disciples would often send news about the Kyushu, and the thoughtful female disciples found that the master liked to hear the news about the Great Master of Zhou the most.

Listening to the other party going to the Tang Dynasty and going to Buddhism to debate scriptures.

Go to the barbarians and reason with the White King.

Go to the East and West Yaozu, and stabilize the territory little by little.

After all, they are all big, big events that concern the entire Kyushu, various ethnic groups, and top powerhouses, and are far, far away from the rivers and lakes.

There are more and more wrinkles on Xue Ji's face, and she spends less and less time going out.

Hair is getting grayer.

After giving up the practice of magic arts, she also gave up the hope of being promoted to Guantian, and stayed in the realm of sitting in the well for the rest of her life.

The lifespan of a monk sitting in a well usually does not exceed two hundred years.

And the Great Zhou National Master has been promoted to Shenzang, and is in full bloom.

Xue Ji became less and less fond of moving.

Finally, on another midwinter day with heavy snowfall, Xue Ji, who had a premonition that her time was coming, took out the round, dark green jade pendant, drew her sword and split it in half, stuffed the half into an envelope, and ordered The disciple sent it to Qin Tianjian, the capital of God.

Then take the other half by yourself and leave without saying goodbye.

She remembered that the military division once told a story about cats.

It is said that when the old cat has a premonition that it is about to die, it will leave the place where it lives, find a quiet corner, and die quietly alone, without being seen by people who are familiar with it.

Xue Ji found a beautiful place and built a tomb for herself. She bought a shroud in the city and lay down in the coffin with only half a jade pendant on her body.

And the other half of the jade pendant was sent to Shendu City, Qin Tianjian as he wished.

But how can a power in the rivers and lakes come into contact with the dignified Master of the National Teacher?
"The national teacher is in retreat. After he leaves the customs, he will convey it on his behalf."

A small official of the Qin Tianjian dismissed the Tingxuelou disciple casually, and threw the envelope into the warehouse for storing letters casually.

Because Master Guoshi is so famous, every year, letters sent to Qin Tianjian from all over Kyushu, who use various excuses to contact Guoshi, or letters of thanks from people who have been helped by Guoshi, have long accumulated. Chengshan.

According to the procedure, these letters will be checked by the officials first, and then sorted according to importance, passed up one level at a time, and submitted to the national teacher at his convenience, and placed on his old man's desk.

And even if everything goes well, according to the order, it will take several years for this letter to be handed over.

years later.

The new official walked into the warehouse, holding the account book, found the dusty envelope in order, and presented it to the desk of the national teacher.

The Great Zhou Guoshi casually tore open the envelope, only to hear a "clang", and half of the jade pendant fell on the table.

The national teacher was stunned, as if thinking of something, he pinched his fingers and used astrology to calculate for a moment, then got up suddenly, grabbed the jade pendant with one hand, and his body collapsed into starlight.

The Great Cultivator of Shenzang traveled across the state at lightning speed, and appeared on a beautiful mountain in a short time. The national teacher stood in front of the small, inconspicuous tomb without a tombstone for a long time.

He said softly, "I'm late."

And all of this, Xue Ji will no longer know.

……

A quiet fast, on the roof.

In the quiet night, Ji Pingan came back from the memory and stroked the half jade pendant in his hand.

In the end, he was not sure why Xue Ji sent it, and what kind of meaning it contained.

But it seems that now I have the opportunity to ask myself.

"Want to go?"

Ji Pingan clenched the jade pendant tightly, his eyes became firm, and he made a decision.

He put the jade pendant in the kit, and took out two things, namely the "big piece" made up of five star fragments, and a top-grade elixir.

"You have to hurry up." Ji Pingan murmured softly, swallowed the pill, then held the star fragments tightly, and began to practice.

The sky is full of stars shaking.

Numerous spiritual essences were like snowflakes, one after another, falling down with the starlight, covering the entire small courtyard.

As if a snowfall had fallen, the roof ridge and patio of the courtyard were covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

……

Onmyoji Academy, on the observatory.

With white beard and white hair, wearing a strange robe, holding an astrolabe, and suppressing a magician's severed arm below, Qin Tianjian, who is sitting cross-legged and meditating, is opening his eyes.

Relying on the ability of the "star official", he could clearly see a pillar-like star river rising from somewhere in Yuhang City, piercing the sky and the earth.

"It's eye-catching..." Qin Tianjian shook his head and sighed, muttered, raised his hand and waved it lightly, covering up the spiritual element fluctuations caused by Ji Ping'an's practice.

Then he closed his eyes again.

……

Lanzhou.

On a certain river, a boat cleaves the waves. In the darkness, a young figure in a Tai Chi gossip robe sits cross-legged on the deck with his back to all living beings.

"Hahaha..." Suddenly, the young man burst into laughter, and the sound shook the whole field.

A famous Daoist disciple in the cabin was startled, woke up from sleep one after another, and lit the candles.

A Taoist disciple held a lantern, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and opened the curtain, only to see the boat shaking violently, the surrounding river roaring wildly, blasting waves of water, and the sound was terrifying.

He looked at the figure in front of him, and asked in horror:

"Brother, what's the matter? But encountered a strong enemy?"

"Hahaha..." The Holy Son stood up and stood with his hands behind his back. He waited for a group of disciples behind him to ask questions, and then he slowly restrained his smile and said displeasedly:
"We are patrolling the world on behalf of the Taoist sect. Why are we so panic-stricken? It doesn't matter. It's just that the Holy Son has just realized something, and it's not far to break through the next realm."

Phew... It turned out that it was just some comprehension. As for manipulating the surrounding rivers, is it so loud... The Taoist disciples complained in their hearts, and raised their hands on the surface:

"Congratulations, brother!"

"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." The Holy Son said with a smile:
"Now that the Holy Son has entered Lanzhou, next, I will not teach that Ji Ping'an to show off his prestige again. The front is Guqiantang County. As a Taoist team, we should go to Yunlin Temple first. Heh, I heard that Yihong The mage has some abilities, and I want to compete with him."

……

The next day is dawn.

When Yu Yu finally woke up from her practice, she suddenly felt a sense of comfort all over her body. For some reason, she suddenly felt that her spiritual essence was strong last night. After one night, her cultivation base and progress had increased a lot.

"If this goes on, it won't be long before I can break six."

Yu Yu was very happy, and was about to go out for a while, and immediately got down to open the door, and then was stunned, only to see Ji Pingan sitting on the wicker chair in the courtyard, his breath gradually subsiding.

Seeing the girl looking over, he turned his head and smiled: "I'm seven years old."

……

I found that once I started writing this kind of thing, I couldn't stop the car. I only wrote half of the plot that I planned to advance in this chapter...
