Above Destiny

Chapter 435: The Hidden Enneagram
Dead silence.

In the study, there was dead silence except for the sound of the thermos cup being raised and put down.

Ye Xian had just picked up the cup when she heard about Ji Jue's "great achievements" outside and immediately fell silent.

Tactical drinking failed.

After a long time, he picked up the cup again, stared at the rising steam, and couldn't help but sigh silently.

broken.

It's too late to clean up...

You tell me, in just over a month, you messed around in Xinquan, and then made your moves on to the Wandering Sea, colluded with various parties, had a head-on battle with a water ghost leader named Pacquiao and a large group of water ghosts, sold your "civilian equipment" to the Thousand Islands and Middle-earth, became a military supplier for the Seven Cities, a strategic partner of the Dragon Skeleton Fleet, an extra-staff priest of the Red Lord of the Red Nation, and by the way, cleaned up the wilderness and massacred countless settlements?
Ye Xian was speechless for a long time.

If that were all, it would be fine, but take a look at what is involved in these things!
Huangji and Beijing should both step aside.

What mysterious group of old masters taught you the secret of defeating evil, issued tasks for you to embark on a journey to collect six days of ghosts to become the most powerful group trainer, what secret inheritance of swordsmiths in the Ye family, and even this videotape in front of you, the seeds of the abyss in Quancheng, and the damn evil demon...

Each one is more powerful than the other!

After the initial shock and bewilderment, a strange feeling of suffocation came naturally.

It’s like, in the blink of an eye, the traveling toad that you just threw out the door comes back home with a lit bomb while you’re not paying attention... and happily asks you what it is?
My blood pressure is almost off the charts.

Stomach pain.

Ye Xian closed her eyes and took a deep breath...

I can't help but want to advise you: Why don't you just go and achieve Nirvana!

At least that one is safer than this one!
Who knows if he will dig a hole that leads directly to the whirlpool like Lu Changsheng if he keeps digging in the wilderness like this...

"Close the door." Ye Xian said suddenly.

"what?"

Ji Jue was stunned and subconsciously shrank his neck. Is the spiritual attack and defense class about to begin?
That’s not right!
I didn't do anything wrong, and I saved a lot of materials!

Even so, he still hesitated, stood up, closed the door, blocked out Ye Chun's gloating gaze, returned to his chair, and sat down carefully.

Clever.

Fortunately, Ye Xian was not deceived by the dog's cute look after he rummaged through the shit pit. He held the teacup and looked at him straight.

Poker face.

After a long time, he reached out, opened the drawer, and took out an hourglass.

Slapped it on the table.

The bronze hourglass has a simple shape and a distinctly exotic feel, but the amount of sand inside is not that much and can only barely fill half of the bottom.

After flipping it at this moment, a crisp ticking sound suddenly rang out and spread out, with strands of flashes rising from it, so gorgeous.

But as the sand dripped, Ji Jue felt as if something invisible filled the room and enveloped them.

All the sounds outside disappeared.

Not only the sounds, but also the waves caused by the operation of the workshop's spiritual essence, the electrical appliances perceived by the ex machina, and even certain feelings that one is accustomed to when in contact with etheric materials for a long time have quietly changed.

If you insist, it's like being blocked.

The black ink dripping onto the paper covered up the traces of writing underneath, making it impossible to see through it, thus eliminating all possibilities of prophecy and divination.

A consumable blessed relic!

Seeing the teacher so serious, Ji Jue sat up straight and didn't dare to think anymore - are you kidding? The teacher hitting him is like playing. If he really doesn't like him, why go through so much trouble?
“I originally thought that the less you knew about Ye’s mess and mess, the better, so I didn’t intend to tell you.

In the end, I didn’t expect that you would dig it out again with a shovel…”

Ye Xian sighed, took off his glasses, and rubbed his nose. "Yes, the inheritance in the Han Xiang Jian is indeed flawed. This is the most ridiculous thing about family inheritance. They always like to hide something. We are obviously all family members, but they always like to distinguish between you, me, and him. In order to ensure the advantage of the main lineage, they suppress the craftsmen of other branches. Even the key inheritance of the Nine Types is passed down orally without any written records."

The Enneagram is profound and extensive, and the heritage and mysteries behind it are enough for a craftsman to explore throughout his life.

But so what?
The Ye family has been exploring for so many years, and so many people have been circling around the Nine Types, tinkering with it, but isn't the Ye family still gone?

Four hundred years later, has a Grand Master appeared? !

If he was really that awesome, Ye Xian, who was born in a branch family, would not have run away from home.

Fed up with the stench of seniority, the infighting among the various families, and the ugly attitude of those useless people who were only old and relied on their age to bully others, the talented younger generation who had once risen to fame, when faced with the gift of favor from the main lineage, shook his head without a second thought, left home, and embarked on the path of his own choice.

Even after so many years of twists and turns, this inheritance finally returned to his hands, but Ye Xian still did not value it much.

What’s the point of picking out words from a pile of old papers?
Enneagram was just a stepping stone for Ji Jue, there was no need to invest his whole life into it. In comparison, fluid alchemy was more suitable for him.

Just learn it.

Knowing that such a thing exists, you can explore, digest and master it as a resource, and use it as one of the countless accumulations to finally take your own step.

But since Ji Jue asked, as a teacher, there is nothing to hide.

Instead of letting him mess around and come up with something to surprise you, it’s better to be straightforward and save yourself some trouble.

“As you can see, the connection between the Ye family’s swordsmiths and the Eternal Empire is even closer than you can imagine, so close that even the Ye family itself had to conceal part of its inheritance.

In order to distance oneself from the matter, one has to hide one’s head and show one’s tail.”

Ye Xian sighed mockingly: "The Panying Incident was indeed lacking in some aspects.

Not only Pan Ying, but all nine types of changes have their own hidden secrets.

The danger of Panying lies in the six evil spirits being present and the three days of fighting against the rebels; the essence of Chixiao lies in holding great power and being domineering; the mystery of Yuchang lies in stabbing the king and killing the driver, and the white rainbow piercing the sun; the stability of Juque lies in the earth veins below and the star of the sky above; the pass of Zhanlu lies in locking up the wilderness and containing the thunder pool inside..."

A true word is passed on, and a thousand volumes of books are falsely passed on.

Ye Xian so casually revealed the secret that only the inherited swordsmith and the head of the family could know.

Without any hesitation, a key point of instruction, even if it did not involve the essentials, had already pointed out a crucial direction for Ji Jue.

He widened his eyes, held his breath, and memorized every word. The mysteries of the nine types of changes in his mind rose and fell endlessly. When they collided with each other, connections were derived. The past structures were torn into pieces with the arrival of understanding, and then reassembled into unprecedented appearances.

Just a few short sentences were like a flare that suddenly rose in the long night, illuminating the landscape and road ahead for Ji Jue.

Even if it goes out again, I will not be afraid of the darkness.

Ji Jue's eyes lit up and his heart surged. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "What about Chunjun?"

"Chunjun..."

Ye Xian looked at Ji Jue with a strange expression, "Didn't you find the right way by accident?
The loftiness of Chunjun lies in the use of sword to give a name and to achieve the unity of self and object.

No matter how well the sword spirit transforms, it is still an external object after all, and it is only used to deal with side things.

The real key is to use one's own spirit to enlighten the spirit of creation and to name Chunjun after the swordsmith. Man and sword are originally one and naturally there is no distinction between them.

From then on, the craftsman had a pair of eyes that never rested and a pair of hands that never tired, as if he had created another self..."

After briefly talking about the pass, Ye Xian did not mention it any more, but just said: "I roughly know what the mysterious group you mentioned is. It is probably the inheritance of the former Eternal Empire... The priest is nothing more than a wisp of spirituality entrusted to the Supreme Good. It can rely on other things and occasionally show its head in the bloodline. It is the limit. There is no need to care."

"Then... Shengxie?" Ji Jue asked cautiously.

“Should we gather the six evils and six fierce men to see you? The three days have long been gone along with the empire, and Shengxie is destined to never be able to recover in its entirety.

Besides, don’t forget, the more Enneagram learns, the more deeply he becomes involved with the Empire.”

Ye Xian warned solemnly: "The reason why the Ye family fell overnight was not only because of the internal strife that led to corruption, but also because of the relationship with the Eternal Empire. Moreover, there is a group of remnants of the restoration of the Eternal Empire behind them who are dreaming of restoring the Eternal Empire and are messing around.

All these years, Achun and I have been able to live in peace, all because I am not the main lineage, and Achun is not a craftsman, and the Nine Types inheritance has been broken.

But if you continue to be so ostentatious and people find out that Enneagram still has its true teachings in the world, you will probably be targeted sooner or later.

If you get entangled with that bunch of trash, you'll probably never have peace in your life.

This is not your business, Ji Jue, do you understand what I mean?"

She looked at the student in front of her and sighed, "Ye is gone, and she died in a proper way, so it can be considered a happy death.

Neither I nor Achun thought about recovery or reconstruction.

As a teacher, I will teach you everything I have learned, but I don't want you to be involved in any of this karma. It is best to stop the Ye family's affairs from now on."

"I understand."

Ji Jue nodded decisively: "Teacher, don't worry."

Don’t worry!

It's because of your appearance that I can't feel at ease at all!

Ye Xian frowned, restraining the urge to split his skull with his strong hands, feeling that he was just saying those words to a dog.

There is a response to everything, but no agreement to everything...

The purpose of stating the pros and cons is to make you understand how big the trouble is, not to let you take the responsibility yourself after you know how big the trouble is.

Before, she simply talked about the glory and benefits of the Ye family, and she also calculated Ji Jue's point. If it was just for money or power, Ji Jue would definitely not be interested in the Ye family.

But after knowing the situation, he still hid behind the teacher. If he mastered the inheritance of the Ye family but still wanted to use the teacher and senior sister as a shield...

All I can say is that whenever Ji Jue had such a thought, he would want to strangle himself to death.

Besides, are they just a bunch of remnants of the Eternal Empire?

There is nothing to be afraid of.

It’s true that I learned the Enneagram with one hand, but did you see clearly the non-attack with the other hand?
It is you, the wishful thinking remnants, who are responsible for this!

Back then, Mercury even dared to chop down the pillars of heaven. Although Ji Jue is not interested in Mo Zhe's identity now, if such a group of ignorant guys really come to him... he doesn't mind expanding his material library and assembly line.

Seeing Ji Jue speaking confidently, patting his chest and talking nonsense, Ye Xian held up his teacup and sneered:
"I don't care about the training of the Nine Forms, but if I ever hear Director Ji say something like you want to revive the Ye family under the guise of the Nine Forms inheritance, you'll be kicked out!"

Suddenly, Ji Jue stiffened.

Silence, nothing more to say.

Ye Xianqian sipped his strong tea and shook his head mockingly. It was too easy for a teacher to beat a student or a master to beat an apprentice - if I can't handle that old dog Tianlu, why can't I handle you?
If you want to play the hypocritical game in front of me, just wait until you become a master!

After hitting the dog on the head with a stick and making sure that the guy would be quiet for a while, Ye Xian didn't waste any more time talking about useless nonsense.

It's useless to say it.

Her eyes dropped to another object on the table.

The box of discs that Ji Jue brought.

It became clear after just one look.

"There are no problems or hidden dangers, don't worry about it."

She waved her hand and said, "Since those guys are looking for you for benefits, there's nothing wrong with cooperating with them, as long as you don't get too involved or too close.

What they like most is to drag others into trouble... That troublesome woman Lu Yingyue may have set her sights on you."

"who are they?"

Ji Jue was curious: "Apart from the Security Bureau, are there any other secret departments within the Federation? What exactly is this?
It can’t really be music, right?”

Ye Xian did not answer most of Ji Jue's questions. He just reached out to pick up the disc, weighed it, and suddenly sneered.

"Do you know what 'knowledge and perception obstacles' are?"
