The national teacher does not practice

The cold wind is like a knife, cutting through the rocks and blowing up bursts of snow foam.

Just when the Qintian Prison was busy investigating and tracing, and Wei Huayang was furious and questioning, no one knew that the "dead" Ji Pingan and Liuli appeared in a place that no one expected.

"Ahem..." When Liuli woke up from coma and slowly opened her eyelids, what came into her eyes was a dark stone wall.

The impact of the explosion made her brain dizzy, and the thoughts in her brain were blurred, like a computer that had crashed and restarted, and her thoughts were scattered like smoke, making it difficult to contain them.

"Where is this place?"

Liuli blinked her eyes, and her blurred vision gradually became clearer. She slowly sat up and found herself lying in a cave.

The cave is not deep and seems to be formed naturally. There is nothing else in the cave.

Turning his head to look at the entrance of the cave, he found that pale skylight was coming in, and there was a howling snowstorm outside the cave, blocking his vision. The harsh cold wind passed through the entrance of the cave, making a whimpering sound.

Liuli was stunned for a moment, becoming more and more confused, and lowered her gaze:
  The white cloak on her body was in tatters, barely covering her body. It was stained with red blood, and her body was a little weak. This simple movement affected the wound, making her twitch her lips.

"I'm not in Leizhou?" Liuli frowned and finally slowly remembered what happened.

Li Yang was suppressed by the Lord Buddha and the Great Demon God. At the last moment, he sacrificed his magic weapon and died together. The violent explosion swallowed up everything.

Then she lost consciousness.

Liuli didn't think it was possible to survive an explosion of that level.

So this is the Buddhist country where Buddhists go after death?
  Or Abi hell?

Or, could it be that everything before was just my imagination?

Is it a dream?

Liuli sat blankly in a "duck sitting" posture. The holy "Buddha Girl" seemed like a helpless child at this moment.

The key is……

"Where did Li Yang go?"

At the same time as her thoughts arose, Liuli suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. She looked towards the entrance of the cave and saw a figure slowly appearing in the blizzard.

The figure trudged one foot deeper and one foot shallower, and finally became clear.

It was Ji Pingan who was wearing the same tattered blue robe.

At this moment, he didn't have the style of a "national master" at all. He was like a woodcutter, carrying a large bundle of dead branches on his back, his body was covered with snowflakes, and his face turned red in the cold wind.

At this time, I stepped into the cave and saw the pitiful glass sitting in the middle of the cave, which was dirty due to the explosion. I couldn't help but laugh:

"Are you awake?"

Liuli was confused.

Ji Ping'an, however, looked calm. He stamped his feet vigorously at the entrance of the cave to shake off the snow on his body.

Immediately, he threw the collected firewood on the ground, and like a magic trick, he picked out a beast corpse with white hair, similar to a wild wolf, but smaller in size, from his back waist.

The beast's neck was strangled, its body was still warm, and it died not long ago.

"Just in time, I picked up a game and came back. Now dinner is ready." Ji Ping'an sounded a little happy.

Then he expertly started to build the stove with stones:

"Don't just watch. How is the injury? Can you move? Come and help if you can."

Liuli Daze × 2
  In a daze, she even suspected that even her rebirth was a dream, and that she was still living with Li Yang in the frozen Qiantang six hundred years ago.

"Oh... okay." She responded subconsciously, then hammered her solar system and said:
  "My sea of ​​consciousness is a little turbulent, and my memory is a little messy..."

Ji Ping'an glanced at the female Bodhisattva with scattered black hair, white skin and translucent eyes. He seemed to see the confusion in her heart, sighed and said:

"Everything is true. It is true that Lord Buddha is hunting me. It is true that I am Li Yang. It is also true that I died together with him."

Liuli opened her mouth, but maybe because of the great impact, she looked a little dumbfounded:
  "Aren't we dead?"

Ji Ping'an said "Oh" and explained:
  "Normally speaking, it is indeed so damned that even the ashes can't be left behind, and it is completely blown into nothingness, but maybe we are lucky. The backup plan I left before has taken effect, so we are in a certain death situation. Escaped."

When he said this, Ji Pingan seemed calm, but in fact he was a little scared.

It was indeed lucky. Even after he returned to his peak, his predictions about the future could not be completely guaranteed to be correct.

Therefore, when I died together with the Lord Buddha, although there were traces of performance, there was indeed an element of gambling.

Fortunately, he won the bet!

After the dark sun fell, Ji Ping'an discovered that the space connected to the "starry sky fragments" had changed. His control over it was increasing, and his "authority" in that mysterious space was also enhanced.

During his time in Jijiacun, he also gradually gained deeper control over the mysterious space, and finally in the explosion, he moved the debris and tore open a real space crack.

With Liuli, he got into the space with his "real body" in a thrilling way, passed through the stone door, and escaped from the battlefield.

However, as a price, the two of them also suffered serious injuries, which was why they were in such an embarrassing situation.

"Escaped? Aren't you dead?" Liuli was startled.

Ji Ping'an laughed and cursed:

"Don't always think about death. Isn't it good to live?"

The joy of surviving the disaster surged in Liuli's heart.

Of course she didn't want to die, but she was more shocked by Ji Ping'an's methods.

She really couldn't imagine what unpredictable methods Ji Pingan had used, but considering the many mysteries and magic in him, it was not surprising.

"Then Lord Buddha and the others..." Liuli couldn't help but speak.

While Ji Ping'an was lighting the fire, he thought for a while and said:

"As expected, the rest of the people should think that we are dead now. Let me guess, my eldest disciple must be no match for Old Bald Donkey, but if there is such a big commotion, the strong men from all sides will definitely gather in Leizhou. Old The bald donkey saw that I was dead and his purpose was achieved. He must have greased his feet and ran away.

Next, when the news of my death spreads, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will inevitably go to war with Buddhism in the Southern Tang Dynasty. It will not involve a large-scale war. The fighting will be limited to the level of practitioners and will last for a long time. Buddhism can only choose to retreat and be beaten.

But with the foundation of Buddhism, they will not be defeated. The demon country can breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking about the subsequent turmoil, it will be a mess. "

There were also some speculations that he did not mention, such as that he might not be able to keep his vest.

The national master's vest will definitely fall off, and Li Yang's vest will probably fall off in a small area.

Huayang and Xiao Xu will probably go crazy. They are also capable of starting a war, but Huayang has both a crazy side and a calm side. He will not be willful enough to overwhelm the entire Taoist sect for his own selfish desires...

The most likely possibility is that after venting his anger, he starts practicing crazily, and then goes to destroy the Buddha when he returns to his peak cultivation level.

Just like back then... when he died, Huayang also reached the peak of his cultivation, and then killed the Dao Alliance and destroyed it in one fell swoop... This was Huayang's style of doing things...

Xiao Xu, on the other hand, will probably be more willful... But with Qi Hongmian blocking him, he probably won't be able to do anything in the end... As for the people in Qintian Prison, Ji Ping'an believes that Jian Zheng will handle everything.

At least he won't let his star officers get carried away by anger and die in vain.

Of course, Ji Ping'an felt that there would be some people who had doubts about his "death", such as Jian Zheng and Xin Yaoguang.

After all, this suspended animation is not perfect. There are also some loopholes in it, such as the whereabouts of the "Tao Jing".

But in his opinion, this is not a big problem. The so-called suspended animation does not need to be hidden from everyone. It only needs to be believed by hostile forces including Buddhism and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, even if they have doubts, no one can find evidence to prove that he "faked his death", let alone know his whereabouts. This is enough. This is also the reason why his mentality is relatively stable:

Although his death will make those close to him sad, it is only temporary.

Next to him, Liuli stared blankly at him as he calmly talked about his "after death" and suddenly said:
  "Is that also in your calculations?"

Ji Ping'an raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Liuli said seriously:

"Since you had already prepared a means of escaping, and then took the initiative to step into this hunting trap and complete this fake death, it should not be just to avoid this disaster."

Her thoughts gradually became clearer and she analyzed rationally:

"By pretending to die, enemies, including Buddhism, will no longer set their sights on you, and then what? Is it really just like that?"

Ji Ping'an blinked, looked at her little face and asked him seriously, and suddenly smiled:
  "I just saw you acting stupid all the time, but you seem to be quite smart."

... Liuli's cheeks were slightly red for no reason, and her eyes were averted. Even though she was serious, she was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of compliment.

Ji Ping'an did not continue to "tease" her, but nodded seriously and said:

"Your guess is correct. It is true to escape by feigning death, but it does have another purpose."

After a pause, he suddenly said seriously:

"I will also take this opportunity to find the truth about the stars' return."

Liuli was startled and her two exquisite ears stood up!

The stars have aligned for the truth!

As a member of the "Reborn", she was naturally sensitive to this topic. At this time, she hesitated and asked:

"Speaking of which, you haven't explained yet why you are both Li Yang and the Grand Master of Zhou Dynasty."

She felt that Ji Ping'an held some secrets about rebirth, which were related to his other identities.

However, Liuli guessed wrong this time. Ji Ping'an's rebirth was completely different from others...

Ji Ping'an smiled, thought for a moment, and said:

"If I said that I was the two souls of Li Yang and the Imperial Master, reborn into the same body at the same time, would you believe it?"

Liuli stared at him expressionlessly and said nothing.

"Ah haha, just kidding," Ji Pingan said haha.

Although the statement of one body and two souls actually sounds the most "reasonable", if you think about it carefully, if you promote this rhetoric, it will cause some bad results.

For example, whether they are friends of the Imperial Master or Li Yang's friends, their attitude towards him will be ambiguous.

It's like suddenly discovering that there is a stranger inside your loved one, and you still can't tell who is talking to you...

Undoubtedly, he will not be in a good mood, his trust level will also decrease, and he will even think about how to split him open and drive out the other soul...

Especially for his few confidantes, it is even more uncomfortable...

So Ji Pingan decided to answer honestly:
  "Then if I say that I might actually be one of the earlier reborn people than you, would you believe it?"

Liuli thought for a while and said:

"So, you were reborn as a young Imperial Master after Jie Shan's death? I have read some history books, and there are many weird things about some records of the Imperial Master's early years. For example, he pioneered the star official path very early. This is not what a genius should do.

Moreover, it is said that the imperial master used Tao more in his early years. He claimed that he accidentally obtained the notes of Master Liyang and cultivated it. Now that he thinks about it, this statement is too coincidental. "

After Ji Ping'an became the National Preceptor in his previous life, he quietly made a move to erase some of the early records of the National Preceptor status.

For example, after a serious illness in his youth, the national master's temperament changed drastically, and he learned to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting without any teacher... But after all, there are some records that cannot be erased.

Liuli continued:
  “Furthermore, the Great Zhou Imperial Master was too obsessed with the study of astrology.

Many studies and observations have little to do with practice, and are more like pure scholar-like research. I heard that in his later years, the National Master had predicted the return cycle of the stars.

And revealed by who you are now.

If you were actually reborn hundreds of years ago, then everything would be explained. Your talent, cultivation, exploration of the starry sky, and today's layout are all explained. "

No... you are overthinking... The main reason why I explore the stars is to find the coordinates of the earth... Ji Ping'an remained silent.

And his appearance, in Liuli's eyes, was an admission.

Liuli was able to become a Bodhisattva in the past, although due to her "clear Buddha's heart", some things seemed a little ignorant and dull.

But that doesn't mean she lacks intelligence.

Compared to the random fabrication of "one body and two souls", she believed in the possibility she had deduced.

And this is also Ji Ping'an's purpose:

It not only explained his identity, but also concealed the biggest secret of being a "traveler".

Liuli became excited as she spoke:
  "So what exactly did you find out?"

At this point, Ji Ping'an was no longer prepared to hide anything. He briefly talked about how he had used the star chart formation to smelt the fragments and open up the mysterious space, and finally said:

"I found that in that space, my astrology was stronger. On the day of the Black Sun, I got some revelations about the future. One of them was that when I passed through that stone door, I was not far away from unlocking the truth. ”

Having said this, even with Ji Ping'an's determination, he could not conceal his excitement:

"In other words, I suspect that the truth about the return of the stars, the core secret, is hidden here."

Liuli's heart was beating wildly and she became excited. She immediately thought of a question that she never had time to ask:
  "But where is this place? Do you know?"

Ji Pingan said:
  "When I first came here, I wasn't sure, but when I went out to collect firewood, I made some calculations using astrology and determined where we are."

After a pause, Ji Pingan picked up a branch and sketched a "map" of Kyushu on the dust on the ground.

Then a few more lines were added to represent the outlines of each continent.

Finally, Ji Ping'an pointed to the north of the Great Zhou Divine Capital with a branch.

That is, the northern Guanzhou territory continued north, all the way to the northernmost end of Kyushu. He nodded and said in a complicated tone:
  "We are now located in the core area of ​​the territory controlled by the barbarians to the north of Beiguanzhou, and to the south of the 'Pole' of Kyushu, the base camp of the barbarians, which is the so-called..."

"The land of exile."

Liuli was stunned.

……

……

Yuhang City.

After nightfall, in the Yin Yang Academy, Qin Tianjian was overlooking the map of the Kyushu territory on the table.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Xu Xiurong, dressed in a dark green official robe, walked in with a slightly haggard expression.
