The Word of Heaven

Chapter 301 A Good Person

After saying that, Wei Qingci turned around and walked to the empty grave again.

He lowered his head, staring at the tombstone in front of the grave in silence, and for no reason he felt a sense of shabbyness.

Naturally, no one in Yishui would like the words on the tombstone, or rather, Yishui's disciples yearned for the choice made by their ancestor, because those sword lights once truly appeared under the sky and were seen by the world.

Go to Weiyang Palace to ask for the sword and fight with the White Emperor.

This is something that countless sword practitioners in the world dare not say out loud but dream of.

Last winter, the reason why Wanjianchi and Chaotianjianque were persuaded by Zen Buddhism and various aristocratic families was that they also wanted to seek the truth through swords.

Wei Qingci suddenly said: "But what is the final result?"

It was quiet in front of the grave.

There was no emotion in his voice: "Chaotian Jianque has already knelt, Wanjianchi is unwilling to kneel because he thinks the sky is high and the ground is far away, but how long can he hold on? If he fails to ascend to immortality, the final outcome will be nothing but emptiness."

"I have a good memory. Of course I remember what you said to me. It is meaningless to break through the realm and become immortal with the method of the barbarians... in your opinion."

"But now Yi Shui needs this meaning that seems meaningless to you."

“I can do whatever it takes to do that.”

No one else heard these words.

This is what Wei Qingci really said to himself.

He looked at the slender shadow not far behind the grave, hidden among several flowering trees, and remained silent.

Wait a minute, it's right there.

This sword of Yishui has been silent since it returned from Cangzhou. It has been kept in its sheath, like a dead tree. I don't know if it is mourning for the dead king, or for some other reason.

Wei Qingci was very clear that if this fact were known to outsiders, the pressure Yi Shui would face would become even greater. However, the current situation in the world meant that he would be unable to hide this secret, and the day when it would be exposed was only a matter of time.

In this situation, he had no choice but to try to take that step forward.

But when he thought that Chu Jun and his master had no relationship and they had only met once at most, but he came to Yishui today with such a ridiculous reason, and finally said the word "metamorphosis" to him, he had to think more.

For example, whether this is a conspiracy woven by the demon lord.

Otherwise, how could the world be so coincidental?

Wei Qingci watched the sunlight outline the words deeply engraved on the stone tablet. He wanted to sigh deeply countless times, but in the end he did nothing. His expression was still so indifferent, or numb.

"Even someone as arrogant and self-indulgent as you, Master, was still played around with to death without knowing it after getting a little closer to the Demon Lord. Before he died, he even felt satisfied with his own death, believing that his life was worthwhile. So... how could someone like you, who is far inferior to you, be an exception?"

Finally, he said to his master and himself: "This is a fact that the nunnery master, you and even the division master have proven with their lives, so I will never let Yi Shui go down a path of no return."

……

……

Before his death, the Lord was hailed as the most mysterious person in the world, which was inextricably linked to the efforts of the Sky Patrol Department over the past few decades.

Therefore, when Qiuzhi decided to find out about the life story of the Master, in less than half a day, dozens of files that were previously classified as top secret were piled on the desk in front of him for him to read.

The storm is coming, life and death are ahead.

Why go see a dead person today?
Qiuzhi looked at the pile of files in front of him and recalled the implicit meaning revealed by Qing Xiaoyue and Zhao Qi during their casual conversation in Cangzhou City after Eunuch Cao read out the charges against the chief.

——No matter what Gu Zhuo does, Master Si must die.

Why did Her Majesty the Queen take things to this extent?
It is absurd to say that this is done to gain fame. Although the Lord has committed countless evil deeds, those evil deeds were hidden in the night and were unknown to the public.

Even with the appearance of the imperial edict, all the crimes were exposed to the light of day, but people in the world could not feel the reality of it and still felt it was far away.

There was no way the Queen Mother was unaware of this, but she still did it, not leaving any dignity for the Lord Si.

That means that she has a reason why the Master must die.

The idea of ​​seeking knowledge is very direct.

The storm that the Sky Patrol is facing now comes from the Queen Mother. As long as she can't call the wind and rain, the predicament will be resolved.

Starting from the chief judge, looking for the secret relationship that once existed between the criminal and the queen, and using this as a starting point to make a big fuss, is the only way that can be thought of at the moment.

The only problem is... there are more files related to the Master than he imagined.

Qiuzhi had a worried look on his face, thinking that although he was much better than before, he was still half illiterate. How could he possibly read all these things?
He rubbed his frowning brows, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision.

"I want to see Deqiusi."

"The De Qiusi who tried to kill the Demon Lord in Wangjing."

"Reason? Of course, it's because I admire his courage and wisdom very much, and I think he is a force that can be used."

"How could I not know that De Qiusi is the apprentice of the Master? Do you know what it means to recruit talents regardless of their background? Why do you have so many questions? Just do your job."

"Anyway, I'm going to meet De Qiusi today. You can figure out the solution."

……

……

The flowers and trees on Baidi Mountain are becoming more and more dense, and the lake is shining with golden light, so bright that it is impossible to open your eyes.

Pei Jinge sat on the stone roof, gazing at the picturesque scenery. He seemed to be thinking, but in fact he was already in a trance.

It was not until Yu Sheng walked over and sat down beside her that she came to her senses.

"How is he?" Pei Jinge asked casually.

Yu Sheng said softly: "I'm still thinking about it, but I don't have any clues for the time being. I don't think I can figure it out so quickly."

Pei Jinge was quiet for a while, then said, "He shouldn't be a person with a lost heart."

Yu Sheng understood the meaning of the words.

The so-called spiritual practice, in the final analysis, is to cultivate oneself.

Every practitioner who has entered the realm of enlightenment must be firm in his views on good and evil, and on the world. His views can even be described as persistent, and he should not have such hesitation.

"If this was just his problem, the answer could be given at any time, but this concerns the entire world."

Yu Sheng said calmly: "Then it's worth it."

As she spoke, she took out some tea and fruits that came from nowhere, and added, "Besides, he is a good man."

Pei Jinge was speechless when he heard this, thinking how could a good person be called the Demon Lord?

Could this be a unique illusion that only couples can have?

She turned her head to look at Yu Sheng, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you feel embarrassed now?"

You must know that Daqin was once the Daqin of you and your majesty.

Yu Sheng said calmly: "That's all in the past."

Pei Jinge admired him very much, because she was sure that she could not do things to this extent, otherwise why would she be so reluctant to take the step towards enlightenment?
Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart with mixed emotions, picked up a cucumber from the fruit plate, took two bites, and pointed to the distance which was also Baidi Mountain.

"If we compare this brand new formation to a circle, then this place where we are now is the final gap. The prototype of the formation will appear here."

Pei Jinge said seriously: "This fact makes me very uneasy."

Yu Sheng suddenly asked: "Why am I here?"

Pei Jinge frowned slightly, not understanding what the words meant, and said as a matter of course: "Since you are his wife, even if the whole world can't find him, you are the exception outside the world."

Yu Sheng liked this sentence very much and said softly: "This is just one of the reasons. The real key is that I once lived here with him for a long time. Although this is a secret, it is not an absolute secret."

Pei Jinge's expression turned a little ugly. After a moment of silence, he said, "Can the eunuch leader guess it?"

Yu Sheng said: "You have the answer to this question."

Pei Jinge remained silent.

As one of the big men at the power center of the Qin Dynasty in the past, how could she not have dealt with the eunuch leader who had stood behind the White Emperor for decades?
That's how she realized that this old eunuch, who didn't have a good reputation, was not only extremely advanced, but also very careful and demanding in his work, which had nothing to do with the word "careless". The mountain breeze came slowly, bringing a bit of coolness.

Yu Sheng's voice rose with the wind.

"He left this as the final gap because he didn't want to reveal the answer in advance."

Pei Jinge said in a hoarse voice: "This formation is more important to His Majesty the Emperor than I thought."

Yu Sheng hummed.

Pei Jinge suddenly felt a pressure coming like a tide, instantly drowning her entire world, leaving no space at all.

What kind of formation in this world could be so important?
Why did the White Emperor not hesitate to give the same standard to the sacrifice to heaven in public and send the most trusted person to handle it personally, and even kept silent and pretended to know nothing after suspecting that Gu Zhuo might be hiding in Baidi Mountain?
There seems to be only one answer.

After realizing the possibility, she inexplicably became more relaxed and said with a smile: "It may be offensive, but I am a little curious. Is this the reason why you are late?"

Yu Sheng looked at her quietly and asked, "Is this answer important to you?"

Pei Jinge said: "It is very important to him."

Yu Sheng was quiet for a while, then said, "I didn't expect that he was so important to you and that you care about him so much."

Pei Jinge said calmly: "It has something to do with him, but it is also my own business."

Yu Sheng finally gave the answer to the question.

Those are two reassuring words.

"No."

She paused, then continued, "But I cannot deny that I hate facing this situation."

Pei Jinge's tone was serious and almost a curse: "You will always be in this situation from now on."

Yu Sheng was silent for a moment, and did not respond to this sentence. He said, "Leave before the dawn of the next day."

Pei Jinge asked: "Did he agree?"

"I'm not an idiot."

Yu Sheng said: "There is no reason to refuse."

Pei Jinge said: "Even if he agrees, I think he will have to make enough arrangements before leaving, leaving himself with the possibility to figure out this formation."

Yu Sheng hummed again.

Unlike before, she seemed to find the matter very tricky and her eyebrows were slightly frowned.

Pei Jinge knew what was going on when he saw her expression. He was not surprised at all and said, "I have been thinking about this issue in recent days. I have thought of dozens of solutions, but none of them seem feasible to me."

Yu Sheng seemed unaware of the special intimacy revealed in this sentence, and said nonchalantly: "Are you going to persuade him?"

Pei Jinge smiled slightly and said, "If he was a person who listened to advice, would you still like him as much as you do now?"

Yu Sheng shook his head, not admitting it, but refusing to discuss the topic.

"Then let's talk about something truly meaningful. What is the current situation in the world?"

Pei Jinge sighed and said, "Except for those years of seclusion, I have never been so unfamiliar with the world as I am now."

Yu Sheng briefly explained it again.

Whether north or south, east or west.

Various aristocratic families, various sects, and even the royal families of Northern Yan and Southern Qi, naturally including Zen Buddhism.

In the vast spring rain of the forty-first year of Zhengsheng, the world was noisy in silence.

Pei Jinge listened very carefully, constantly organizing his thoughts from those words, and finally came to a conclusion.

"She has done a better job than I imagined. The situation is becoming more and more stable. If Gu Zhuo were not still alive, the world would be at peace now."

"If she can't do this, how can she become the queen?"

"But I still can't figure out what she wants. If it's power, then how can she accept the fact that she will always be inferior to others? If she wants to practice cultivation, she shouldn't have chosen this path from the beginning."

"I don't understand either."

Yu Sheng's tone was very calm.

Pei Jinge smiled casually and said, "You are not Bai anymore, so there is no need to care about this kind of thing."

Yu Sheng said: "Then why do you care about these things now?"

Pei Jinge put away his smile, looked at her seriously and said, "I have never thought about leaving. There will always be a day when I will go back."

Yu Sheng said no more.

The stone roof fell silent again, leaving only the sound of the two people eating melons and drinking tea.

Until evening, the dusk was as thick as blood.

Pei Jinge raised her head, looked at the sun which was no longer so dazzling, and said, "Tonight or tomorrow will be the last chance for those who oppose her, right?"

Yu Sheng said: "If nothing unexpected happens, yes."

Pei Jinge sighed and said, "A lot of people are going to die."

Yu Sheng asked softly, "Do you want to take care of this matter?"

Pei Jinge was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "As much as I dislike her now, I will overestimate her now. Since tonight is the last chance for those who oppose her, it is also her chance. I will not take such a huge risk."

This statement makes a lot of sense.

However, when Yu Sheng thought about Pei Jinge's current position, he felt that the matter was particularly absurd.

—You are standing shoulder to shoulder with the greatest enemy in the world, but you tell me that you are unwilling to face risks?
……

……

At sunset, Gu Zhuo walked out of the room.

The aroma of food is already wafting in the air, and under the dim light, the food covered in sauce is glowing temptingly.

This is very unusual.

Yu Sheng sat at the table and explained to him, "This is our last meal in the mountains, so it's quite sumptuous."

Gu Zhuo was slightly startled when he heard this. Thinking of many legendary stories, he shook his head and said, "It's really unlucky."

Pei Jinge rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't like it, just don't eat it. Why waste your time talking?"

"You still have to eat after all."

Gu Zhuo was not embarrassed, so he just sat down and prepared to start eating.

Pei Jinge looked at his face, then looked at Yu Sheng again, and asked curiously: "Could it be that the part of you that likes him also includes the word shameless?"

"You think too much."

Yu Sheng acted as if nothing had happened and said calmly: "I have never liked this, but I do envy him for being shameless. After all, this is something I can't do."

There is obviously a deeper meaning behind these words.

For example, Pei Jinge felt that this sentence seemed to be talking about Gu Zhuo, but it was actually talking about her.

The atmosphere in the stone house was a little heavy.

Just at this moment, a cough was heard.

From Gu Zhuo's lips.

He said to Yu Sheng and Pei Jinge: "Regarding the first question, I have an idea."
