Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 534: Reunion with Li Jinyu, a radically changing future! (Two in one)

Song Changming visited Li Jinyu's residence on the mountain. Although the house was not small with a front hall and a backyard, it was simply decorated inside and out, with all furniture and utensils made of stone and wood, which was close to nature.

Judging from the attitude of other disciples towards Li Jinyu, he should have a good status in Tiandao Academy. It can only be said that he himself has no requirements for residence and does not yearn for those magnificent buildings.

Li Jinyu took a sip of the spiritual wine that Song Changming carried with him, and his face flushed.

"It's a bit of a waste to drink such good wine here." Li Jinyu said, and pulled Song Changming to a hill behind the house.

This place is located on the edge of a cliff, where you can watch the sea of ​​clouds and enjoy the sun and the moon.

There is also mountain spring water flowing down the side, like a silver dragon leaping into the sea of ​​clouds, stirring up layers of spiritual water mist.

Song Changming thought to himself that such a beautiful scenery was indeed rare to see, and no wonder Li Jinyu wanted to drink here.

The two of them sat on the ground, and Su Qingqing also sat beside them.

The three of them were all familiar with each other, so there was no need for formalities and they just drank and talked.

"Brother Li, I know your abilities, so I'll be frank with you. I'm here for a sealing formation." After drinking two glasses of wine, Song Changming went straight to the point.

"I know, it's a tenth-level talisman formation, sealing the stars." Li Jinyu took a sip of the spirit wine and said with a smile.

Song Changming's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he suddenly asked, "Could it be that Brother Li knew that the bottomless abyss we crossed contained a disaster that could destroy the world?"

Li Jinyu was stunned, then shook his head and waved his hands, denying it flatly.

"The endless fog in the Land of Misty Land can obscure the secrets of heaven. Even now I can't see anything. I only learned about the Star Devouring Dragon and the seal after I came to Tiandao Academy. I didn't deduce or calculate it."

Having said this, he paused, and then continued: "However, three months ago, I did see a little secret."

Upon hearing this, Song Changming picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Li Jinyu, waiting for him to continue.

"The predictions of the heavens are never without signs. Something must have happened, and then there were changes in the celestial phenomena. I have not seen much, but there is only one thing: the land of Kyushu will be turned upside down in the future!"

Li Jinyu shook his head and continued speaking.

"Changming, in the distant future, there is no me, but there is you."

Song Changming listened in silence for a while.

“I don’t know what will happen in the future. Maybe it’s an inevitable catastrophe, or some other variable. Maybe it’s decades later, or hundreds or thousands of years later.

There are too many things I don’t know, so I’m too lazy to think about it. Anyway, there’s nothing I can do…”

Li Jinyu stretched lazily, holding an empty wine glass in his mouth, supporting himself with his hands, tilting his head back, and muttering to himself.

Su Qingqing looked at Li Jinyu curiously.

They both knew each other, but she felt that when she saw him again today, Li Jinyu had changed a lot from the inside out.

When he was young, Li Jinyu came to Guyuan Country, just like a young boy who was traveling far away in search of treasure. He had a lot in his mind and felt that the future had unlimited possibilities.

But Li Jinyu now looks lazy and his words show a bit of weariness towards everything. There is no trace of his former optimism and positivity.

Giving up and lying down are now more suitable to describe Li Jinyu.

Not leaving the mountain and not entering the world for decades, isn't this a form of escape?

"Is the future trend not ideal?" Song Changming couldn't help but ask when he heard Li Jinyu's self-destructive tone.

"Yeah." Li Jinyu was silent for a long time before he responded softly.

"How unsatisfactory is it?" Song Changming asked again.

Li Jinyu closed his eyes, listened to the clear sound of flowing water in the mountains, and finally spoke slowly.

"Changming, I said that in the distant future, there will only be you, not me"

“Actually, there’s no one else.”

When Song Changming heard this, his brows furrowed. He had vaguely understood the meaning behind Li Jinyu's words.

"You mean, the human race is gone?" Song Changming asked directly. He didn't want to beat around the bush.

"Maybe. The future is turbid, like a pool of stagnant water. I have seen it countless times. In the few times when I succeeded, without exception, I could not see anyone else except you!" Li Jinyu murmured.

This was something he couldn't accept, but he had seen this result too many times.

From the initial disbelief, heavy mood and depression to the subsequent numbness.

"What exactly happened during this period?" The more Song Changming listened, the more serious his expression became.

"I don't know." Li Jinyu shook his head.

He also couldn't find any clues. No matter how he deduced, the result was the same.

That is the land of Kyushu, no longer inhabited.

The only ray of hope came from Song Changming's last sight.

Song Changming didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing Li Jinyu's incoherent talk.

According to Li Jinyu's inference, some major event happened in the future, leading to the extinction of the human race and even all living things in Jiuzhou.

Only Song Changming survived to the end.
Based on this result, he deduced the main cause. When faced with the huge crisis that was already showing signs of emerging, Song Changming could only think of the star-devouring dragon under the sealed abyss.

Could it be that in the future the Star-Devouring Dragon would break the seal and once again summon the alien beasts in the fog, triggering a third world-destroying catastrophe?
Li Jinyu obviously thought so too.

After hearing the secret that Li Jinyu had kept in his heart, Song Changming's brows relaxed. He took the empty cup that Li Jinyu was biting and filled it with wine.

"Brother Li, I remember hearing you say that the future that has not yet happened is not a foregone conclusion. Everything depends on human effort, and fate can change. Why are you sighing so early?"

“It is not easy to change the outcome of such a huge change that affects the entire human race and even all living beings.” Li Jinyu looked at the wine in the glass, but inexplicably felt bitter in his mouth.

Small things are easy to change, big things are hard to change.

The world's general trend is like a rolling wheel, how can it be easily swayed by the will of a single person?

"Brother Li, difficulties do not mean that they cannot be done. I insist that the human race will not perish. If God wants to destroy me, I will turn the world around and create a new world!" Song Changming raised the wine glass in his hand, his expression serious, but his tone was so wanton and arrogant.

It was also the first time that Li Jinyu saw Song Changming like this, and for some reason he was moved.

The originally stiff face gradually relaxed.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly let out a long breath, with a smile on his face again.

"I don't know why, but after listening to Brother Song's words, I feel a lot more relaxed. I was anxious to see you today, and it was the right decision." Li Jinyu laughed, raised the glass of wine, clinked it with Song Changming, and drank it all in one gulp.

He had never told anyone about this matter, and only when Song Changming came today did he want to tell him.

Firstly, Song Changming was the last person in the future he foresaw. Secondly, perhaps he felt deep down in his heart that only Song Changming could soothe his troubled heart.

Su Qingqing on the side said nothing and just listened silently.

She saw that Li Jinyu seemed to be in a better mood, and she believed in Song Changming's bold words.

It seems that as long as the young master is around, any world-destroying disaster is not scary at all.

She believed that Song Changming could handle everything.

Afterwards, the two talked about many things that had happened to them since they separated.

Only after finishing the pot of wine did Li Jinyu get up with a sense of relief. "Let's go, Brother Song. I'll take you to see the head of our Tiandao Academy."

"Okay." Song Changming agreed.

Li Jinyu walked with his hands behind his back, an empty wine jug in his fingertips, still at a leisurely pace.

It’s just that the steps are much lighter than before.

Along the way, they saw many disciples wearing Taoist robes. When they saw Li Jinyu, they all bowed to him.

Li Jinyu responded one by one.

Song Changming now basically understands why Li Jinyu has such a high status in Tiandaoyuan.

He was accepted as a personal disciple by the head master, and his status was equal to that of some elders of Tiandao Academy, so most disciples would bow to him when they saw him.

Suddenly, Song Changming looked up and saw flying birds and geese flying in from afar and landing in the Taoist gate on the top of the mountain.

Standing on these flying birds and geese are some disciples of Tiandao Academy.

Riding a flying mount is the preferred way of travel for these mountain monks, and it can be considered a trend.

Easy access, no need to climb mountains every time.

"It seems that not all disciples of Tiandao Academy stay at home."

Song Changming said this casually, and his attention was focused on the sky above the Taoist temple.

Every time a disciple returned, an image of a hexagram formation would appear in the sky above him for a moment and then disappear.

Song Changming knew that it was the manifestation of the talisman formation.

With his attainments in the art of talismans, he could see the mystery in it at a glance.

"It's worthy of being the Tiandao Academy. The talisman formations that can be seen everywhere are probably more than the sixth-level talisman formations." Song Changming said.

“Brother Song has good eyesight. This Qian formation is a seventh-level formation. When it locks the sky, even a late-stage master will not be able to break through it easily.

Therefore, if you are not a disciple of this Taoist temple, you cannot enter the heaven."

"Is this Qian Formation a talisman formation created by Tiandao Academy?" Song Changming asked.

You know, the seventh-level talisman array is basically extremely rare in the outside world.

It is the defensive formation of each major city, which is usually only a sixth-order formation and not up to the seventh-order level.

"Yes, it seems to be the early work of Uncle San Sheng." Li Jinyu nodded.

"It's a very mysterious talisman formation, amazing!" Song Changming exclaimed.

His current attainments in the art of talismans only allow him to set up a sixth-order talisman array. He is still a long way from mastering and setting up a seventh-order array.

“Don’t let Uncle Sansheng hear this, otherwise he will drag you along and brag about it all day and night.” Li Jinyu chuckled.

The two walked and talked.

The disciples of Tiandao Academy who passed by all looked at him curiously when they saw Senior Brother Jinyu and the two outsiders.

It seemed that this was the first time that this lazy senior brother was willing to lead an outsider.

In the past, Li Jinyu never cared about such troublesome matters. Even if the head master personally appointed someone to meet him, Li Jinyu would stay away for various reasons.

"This person... has such a strong aura!"

When a few powerful disciples passed by, they noticed that the aura of Song Changming was a little too strong!

"And what's going on with this body of blood and energy? Is it a monster..."

"What a scary guy, he looks so young."

"Who is this?"

Several people watched Song Changming and his party walk away, then they looked away, frowned, and didn't think any more about it.

Even though they were quite wary of Song Changming, an outsider whose identity they did not know, they thought Song Changming was not a dangerous person because he was accompanied by Li Jinyu.

On the other side, Song Changming was brought to an ancient hall.

"We're here. Brother Song, I've already informed the dean. You can go in directly. I'm staying outside and won't come in." Li Jinyu suddenly stopped and said.

"Hmm?" Song Changming looked at Li Jinyu with some confusion.

Li Jinyu coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly: "I accidentally stewed a Taoist golden pheasant that the dean had raised on the mountain before. It's not convenient to see him now."

Song Changming curled the corners of his mouth and uttered a word.

"It still has to be you, Brother Li."

Song Changming did not force it and asked Su Qingqing to wait outside before he walked towards the Taoist temple hall alone.

At the entrance of the palace, there were two half-grown boys, also wearing disciple robes.

Song Changming handed over the token given by Emperor Yun.

"Yunzhou, Song Changming, come to pay respect to Tiandaoyuan."

The boy did not take the token from Emperor Yun, but said directly: "Master has told us that if we have guests today, we can just go in. Master has been waiting for a long time."

"Okay." Song Changming nodded after hearing this, and went straight into the hall with the token.

In the hall, an old Taoist with a white beard was sitting cross-legged. There was no one else in the huge hall.

The old Taoist priest was wearing a simple pure white robe with his long hair tied up on top of his head, looking quite like an immortal.

"You must be Song Changming mentioned by Emperor Yun and that bastard Jinyu." The old Taoist spoke first with his back to Song Changming.

"Yes, I came here without any reason today and didn't intend to keep the dean waiting for so long. I'm sorry for being rude." Song Changming said with a bow.

“It’s okay. I’m very pleased that you can help my stupid disciple resolve his emotional problems. As for the purpose of your coming here, I also know it.

You can stay in Tiandao Academy for as many days as you want. You can watch and discuss the research on the Star Sealing Array and participate in it. I have allowed it."

The old dean was very straightforward. He agreed to Song Changming's request without any beating around the bush, even without waiting for Song Changming to ask.

"Thank you so much, Master." Song Changming said.

"No need to thank me. If you can really make a contribution to the research on the talisman array in the future, that will be the greatest reward for you." The old dean stood up leisurely, looked at Song Changming, and said calmly.

"I will do my best." Song Changming nodded.

"Hey, little kid, you're quite arrogant. Come on, follow my stupid disciple. Also, tell him that I'll let him go of the golden pheasant incident for now." The old dean chuckled and waved his hand.

"The junior will convey it." Song Changming said and then left.

With the approval of the old dean, there were no obstacles to the following matters.

It was classified as the highest level of the tenth order, and it was also the only tenth order formation in the world, the 'Star Seal'. This seal was the key to preventing the Star-Devouring Dragon from being born.

It is also the key to preventing the occurrence of a world-destroying catastrophe!
No matter what, he would try to master it and be prepared to deal with it.
