I'm not a psychopath!
Chapter 247: Flickering Candlelight
At this time, he noticed that Qin Xiaosui's elder brother Qin Zhan had not come yet, so he asked his junior sister Luo Shui next to him: "Why didn't Brother Qin Zhan come today?"
Luo Shui drank tea while answering: "He had something important to do, so he rushed back to the capital last night. Before he left, he told me to be at ease, and he didn't come to have breakfast."
Jiang Qing nodded to show his understanding.
Just like the disciples of Ziyun Sect each have their own responsibilities, it is common for them to miss meals due to training or missions.
Maybe the Qin family has some important matters that need to be dealt with.
"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?" Li Changsheng asked when he saw Jiang Qing was a little absent-minded.
Jiang Qing came back to his senses and smiled: "Nothing."
After breakfast, Jiang Qing returned to his residence. In the oil paper in his hand were a few hot big buns filled with spirit fish meat, and a bowl of animal milk.
Qin Xiaosui had already woken up and was sitting in front of the dressing table getting dressed. Jiang Qing walked over, hugged her gently, and said softly, "Good morning, Xiaosui."
Qin Xiaosui turned around, snuggled into Jiang Qing's arms, and said softly, "Brother Qing, good morning."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
……
Ziyun Sect, in Jiang Qing's study.
Jiang Qing sat at the desk, the pen in his hand hovering in the air, his eyes fell on a mysterious letter that had just been opened.
The letter was unsigned, and the handwriting was simple and mysterious, revealing an indescribable majesty.
The letter read: "The survival of the human race hangs on a thread. The luck of the Central Plains will be dispersed. You are responsible for the important mission of the sect. Are you willing to take on this responsibility, gather the luck, and protect our human race?"
Jiang Qing was shocked. The content of this letter concerned the fate of the entire human race, and he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
But who wrote this letter?
And why did she appear in his room?
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart, and then picked up the pen to reply on the letter paper: "Junior Jiang Qing, I would like to hear the details, how to gather luck and protect our human race?"
At this moment, the air in the study suddenly fluctuated, and a vague figure gradually solidified opposite the desk.
This is the image of an old man whose face cannot be seen clearly. He is wearing a long robe, has white hair and a long beard, and exudes a vicissitudes and powerful aura.
He is truly an immortal.
The old man's voice seemed to have traveled through time and space, slowly echoing in the study: "Jiang Qing, do you know what luck is?"
Jiang Qing replied respectfully: "Qiyun is the power of heaven and earth, and it is related to the rise and fall of a country and a clan."
The old man nodded and continued:
"good.
Luck is invisible, but it can affect everything. Now the luck of the Central Plains is about to dissipate, and the human race is facing an unprecedented crisis. You are in the Purple Cloud Sect, so you should do something. "
Jiang Qing's heart moved, and he asked: "May I ask, Senior, looking at the entire continent, I am just a small Nascent Soul cultivator, how can I protect the human race?"
The old man did not answer the question, but continued to answer mechanically: "To gather luck, three conditions must be met.
First of all, you must be strong enough to sense and guide destiny.
Secondly, you need to find the source of your luck and establish a connection with it.
Finally, you must have the world in your heart and a heart of great love, only then can you truly gather your destiny."
Jiang Qing listened carefully, and had some ideas in mind. He asked, "Although I am still a young man, I am willing to try my best. I wonder what the source of luck you are referring to is?"
Could it be the dragon of destiny?
The old man smiled and said, "The source of luck is hidden between heaven and earth, and you need to explore it yourself.
But I can tell you one thing, Ziyun Sect is a famous and upright sect in the Central Plains, it has a deep heritage and may be able to provide you with some clues."
Jiang Qing was delighted and quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
The old man's figure gradually became blurred, and his voice became farther and farther away: "Jiang Qing, time is running out, you'd better take care of yourself." After saying that, the old man's figure completely disappeared into the air.
Jiang Qing stood in the study, lost in thought for a long time.
The other party's origins are unknown, motives are unknown, and the so-called source of luck is probably the Dragon of Luck.
Since the other party didn't know that he had seized the Dragon of Fortune, then why did he come to him?
Moreover, when the other party talked to him, it always felt unreal to him, as if there was an infinite distance between them.
But he didn't sense any malice, and the other party had no reason to lie to him.
Is it fun to lie to him?
He sat down again, picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and wrote down his determination on the letter paper: "Junior Jiang Qing will live up to the trust of the seniors, do my best, gather the luck, and protect our human race."
As the last stroke was made, a light suddenly lit up in the study. Jiang Qing felt a warm and powerful force surging into his body. His cultivation level actually improved significantly in this instant.
Jiang Qing frowned suddenly, took a deep breath, put away the letter, and strode out of the study.
I don't know when, but the sky outside the house was already covered with dark clouds. The thick and dense clouds hovered in the sky, which was extremely depressing.
……
Baili Ye suddenly woke up from his bed, his heart tightened and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
He actually fell asleep at such an important moment, and today was the wedding day of his best friend Jiang Qing!
He was anxious and got out of bed, but because of the sudden movement, he felt dizzy.
Baili Ye shook his head, trying to dispel the discomfort, and then rushed out of the house in a hurry.
His actions attracted the attention of the eunuchs in the palace. An old eunuch hurried forward to support him and asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?
What's the hurry?"
Baili Ye calmed himself down and said hurriedly, "I have to go to Ziyun Sect to attend Jiang Qing's wedding. I can't delay the time! Get ready quickly and bring the gifts I prepared.
Set off now.
I overslept, why didn't anyone wake me up? "
Baili Ye was displeased.
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants in the palace were attracted by the noise and cast curious glances at him.
A eunuch in charge showed a panic on his face, stepped forward, and said cautiously: "Your Highness Baili, you have been there yesterday, and it was the Imperial Master who personally took you back to the Imperial City at dawn.
It is now the morning of the second day, almost noon."
"What?" Baili Ye was stunned. He couldn't believe that he actually missed Jiang Qing's wedding. He had no memory of this experience at all.
Seeing that Baili Ye didn't believe him, the old eunuch explained, "Your Excellency drank too much at the wedding banquet yesterday and passed out, so he was sent back to the palace by the Imperial Master.
Although immortal cultivators have strong bodies, the Immortal Drunk of the Purple Cloud Sect is an immortal brew, incomparable to ordinary wine, so it is common for you to get drunk."
After hearing this, Baili Ye was already 70% convinced.
However, he did not expect that he would lose his memory due to drinking, and he didn't even remember how he got drunk.
Unable to help but smile bitterly in his heart, Baili Ye waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, and he walked back into the house with a heavy heart.
He gently stroked his forehead, and it was indeed painful. As the rumor goes, drinking too much can indeed give people a headache. But when he touched the painful area, he found that the pain was concentrated on the back of his head, which made him a little confused.
Why does the pain only come from the back of the head?
Could it be that he fell down while drunk and accidentally injured his head?
……
In the north of the north, behind the boundary wall, an invisible barrier stands quietly.
In this desolate land, a line of faint golden footprints was faintly visible in the wind and sand. It extended from behind the northern boundary wall to under the barrier, and finally disappeared here.
Not far from the footprints.
An unknown human-shaped sculpture stands quietly on the ground. Its surface is covered with traces of time, as if it has witnessed countless vicissitudes.
Suddenly, there were fine "cracking" sounds on the sculpture, and cracks began to spread across it.
Then, the sculpture collapsed with a loud bang and turned into a pile of rubble.
At the same time, a powerful force surged in from behind the rubble, turning into a black fog that covered the sky and quickly enveloped the plains, valleys and rivers of the north.
This power brought about terrible changes.
The trees grew twisted and developed ferocious eyes; the flowers bloomed with sharp fangs, flashing cold light.
Animals mutated into various forms of extraterritorial demons. They ran rampant on the earth and engaged in brutal fights with the creatures on land.
The fish and shrimp in the river also mutated. They grew lungs and hands and feet, climbed onto the shore and joined the chaotic battle.
Depending on the degree of pollution they have suffered, these extraterritorial demons appear in different forms.
Some became extremely powerful, and some mastered strange magic. The same thing is that they all lost their minds and only knew how to destroy and kill.
They also like to devour and kill each other, making the North a completely dangerous world.
Reject the northern city and Tianmen territory.
Old Man Tianmen and Xu Beitian, the head of the Xu family, gathered here with solemn expressions. Apart from the army resisting the demon clan, all the Xu family members have been dispatched, and together with the 128 star generals of the Boundary Gate, they are clearing out the extraterritorial demons on the border.
Although these demons are irrational and will not actively attack cities, some of them will come to the border because of their aimless wandering.
For ordinary people, these demons are extremely terrible disasters.
And they have a tendency to devour evolution.
Several small villages on the border of Jubei City have suffered from their invasion, so Old Man Tianmen and Xu Beitian had to defend the border with all their strength to try to block the source of the disaster.
However, just as they were busy, Old Man Tianmen and Xu Beitian suddenly felt a shock in their hearts, and a shudder from the soul exploded in their hearts.
They all stopped what they were doing at the same time, looked towards the north, and a look of fear appeared on their faces.
At this moment, all the extraterritorial demons in the entire northern territory prostrated themselves on the ground, showing a gesture of submission and trembling in fear.
The face of the old man Tianmen turned pale instantly. His voice trembled as he uttered a few words with difficulty: "They have arrived..."
Xu Beitian's expression also became serious, and he quickly ordered: "Quick, inform the Imperial Master, there is trouble in the North!"
Everyone's heart tightened and they took immediate action, strengthening the border defense while continuing to send people to rush to Jubei City for reinforcement.
The fate of the North, and the future of humanity as a whole, hangs in the balance.
Old Man Tianmen and Xu Beitian looked at each other and saw the determination and firmness in each other's eyes.
……
At this moment, the footprints end.
In this barren land, Old Man Zhu, Wang Haoran, and several other old friends were standing high in the sky, looking down and gazing into the distance.
In fact, the end of this line of footprints represented the limit of the world, and they could not move forward even half a step.
But if you look out.
You will find that the broken line of golden footprints appears faintly in the distance, as if forever.
At this moment, Old Man Zhu pursed his lips and stared at the footprints outside with a serious look.
Suddenly, in his field of vision, the rolling mountains under the footprints seemed to tremble slightly, as if something underground was about to break out of the ground.
He held his breath involuntarily, his heart beat faster, and the oppressive feeling that came from his soul made him feel suffocated.
At this moment, the earth began to shake violently, mountains rose, rocks cracked, and a huge black spine slowly rose from the ground.
This section of the back is covered with scales as hard as iron, each scale gleaming with a dark luster, and there are rows of sharp thorns on the back, like the scythe of the god of death.
As the ridge rose, more land was lifted up and tens of thousands of tons of rock and soil rolled down.
Although they were dozens of miles away, the shocking scene made Old Man Zhu and Xu Beitian feel unprecedented fear.
Moreover, those footprints were completely erased when this demon god broke out of the ground.
"This is the devil from outside the domain..." Old Man Zhu muttered to himself, with a tremor in his voice.
The body of this demon god was like a black mountain of flesh, huge and terrifying.
Black smoke billowed from its back, lingering in the sky, forming a dark cloud that covered the sun.
Under the influence of the foreign demon god, the creatures in the north began to change. Some creatures instantly stiffened and lost their breath.
Some become violent, with red eyes, driven by the desire to kill and destroy.
Witnessed the horrifying scene of the arrival of the foreign demon.
However, in their hearts, besides fear, there is also a firm determination.
They knew that they were shouldering not only their own life and death, but also the future of the entire human race. Old Man Zhu took a deep breath and turned to look at several old friends around him. Their faces were filled with solemnity and determination.
These old friends are all members of the Tianjie Society, a secret organization that usually takes it as their mission to punish evil on behalf of God, but their real purpose.
It is to deal with today's catastrophe.
"We established the Tianjie Society, which has been passed down for more than 107,000 years." Elder Zhu said in a deep voice, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, "The real purpose is for today."
Every member of the Tianjie Society present here has taken another half step forward on the basis of the realm of the strongest.
Their strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.
He had reached the limit of the world, and this was just a rigid standard for joining the Tianjie Society.
If there is anyone in the world who can go one step further and go further, it can only be the National Master.
The National Master knew about the existence of this organization. In fact, the Tianjie Society had also invited him, but he refused because of different philosophies.
He has his own ideas...
"If our old bones can exchange for another 50 years of stability, it will be worth it." Wang Haoran continued, his voice revealing a sense of vicissitudes and open-mindedness.
