Chapter 228 Senior?

Gao Jian was stunned when he heard this.

The new Taichi changed his position?

No, Taiyi is the center of the sky and the master of the Eight Characters. He is also a top-notch existence among the star officials and gods. How could such a thing be exchanged?
Besides, didn’t the gods leave?

Three thousand years ago, the gods disappeared without a trace. Since then, the world has lost its naturally functioning weather, disaster spirits began to spread, and everything in nature needs to be driven manually.

The human race of the Divine Dynasty established the Temple of Heaven to promote the four seasons, while the true dragons promoted ocean currents in the Dragon Palace, maintaining the basic climate and the normal operation of the ecosystem.

And now suddenly they say that Taiyi has been replaced?
Moreover, he was replaced with a name, Qi?

When Gao Jian heard the news, he felt that the fire dates in his hand were no longer fragrant. He sneered and said, "What a joke! Taiyi is Taiyi. How could he have any other name? Besides, the name Qi sounds too trivial. How could Taiyi, as the master of Dou Shu, be called this name?"

"It sounds like a joke, but it's all true." The tour guide said immediately, "When the Astronomical Supervisor observed the stars, he really got this answer, and it was so clear that it was as if Taiyi himself was announcing it to the whole world."

"Tsk, according to this statement, Taiyi's position must be visible in more than one place. It must be everywhere in the world. Even more than the whole world, including those places in the Buddhist heavens, can Taiyi call himself 'Qi'?"

The tour guide said immediately, "Yes, there are similar sayings in the Buddhist heavens. Don't you know? Those heavenly beings are also saying that Taiyi has been replaced."

“In other words, the gods still exist, they are still alive, but they have just given up on this world?” Gao Jian immediately realized something.

"That's not clear. However, it doesn't matter whether there are gods or not, right? Even without gods, we still got here this way, right? By the way, sir, is there anything else you want to know? Oh, by the way, it's this time, look over there!" The tour guide handed Gao Jian a telescope and pointed to the horizon.

Gao Jian took the telescope and looked in that direction, only to see that the originally calm air suddenly began to ripple. Seven rainbow lights shot out from towers in different directions, interweaving into a picture of "Quehua" above the inn. There were also several young men riding mechanical cranes across the mountains in the painting, and the jade rings on their belts collided with the rainbow light, making a clear sound like a bronze bell.

"That was a performance sponsored by the Legend Building. We just happened to see it today. You are lucky, sir." The tour guide changed the subject at the right time.

She could also see that the rich man in front of her seemed quite annoyed by Taiyi's question. In that case, it would be better to change the subject quickly and not get involved too much with the guest.

But Gao Jian just took a look, he didn't have much interest in these things.

He just felt a little surprised.

Taiyi, has a name?

Furthermore, those gods are still alive? Are they even changing?

Even the Heavenly Monitoring Department and even the celestial beings have observed this "change?"

How many places have noticed this change? Is this change intentional?
If it is true that the legendary 'Taiyi' has been replaced, then does this have anything to do with the departure of the gods?

No, it should not be related.

The gods left three thousand years ago, and Taiyi has shown unusual movements. Have people with stargazing abilities everywhere observed Taiyi's changes?

Gao Jian thought... maybe he should learn how to stargaze.

It was not the "half-baked" way of calculating the stars that he was doing now, but the real way of predicting the future through stargazing, or even reading the charm of the stars, thereby comprehending some techniques or even skills, and even getting direct inspiration from the stars.

To use Gao Jian's words, the stars are not simply lights, but signal lights given by the gods in the sky to mortals. Different light signals represent different situations and are related to the high intensity of the energy of heaven and earth.

And if Taiyi really has a new person, I should go and see.

While Gao Jian was thinking about these things, the tour guide was not idle either. She tentatively took a red date and put it into her mouth.

Feeling that her body was indeed rising with abundant spiritual energy and her body's qi and blood were replenished, it was obvious that these were genuine fire dates, and her words became more and more eloquent.

however--

At this moment, a clear sound suddenly came from the air, like the sound of some glass or crystal colliding with each other.

Gao Jian came to his senses immediately, turned around and saw that not far away, a dozen cargo kiosks were being urgently reorganized, the Hu merchants' flying boats were retracted, and various alarms were dinging. It turned out that the spiritual energy vortex of the waterway had formed in advance, and several people were speeding over in black shuttles, scattering thousands of talismans as their sleeves fluttered.

"Get out of the way!" The old monk at the helm of the flying boat let out an angry roar and began to pull the rope hard. The rope left bloody marks on his palms. The whole ship was under tremendous pressure due to such an extreme turn, and the hull made a creaking sound.

Everyone was hiding, including those in buildings, and some even took routes that violated the law.

The cause of all these movements was the huge building behind him——

No, that was not a building, but a giant glass skeleton that seemed to be growing. As the 36,000 bone fragments opened and closed, they shook off some kind of interwoven light rain.

"Classmate, you are in such a good mood. You are actually here listening to these bluffing and sensational words. Are you lost?" A voice came from the huge skeleton.

classmate?

When Gao Jian heard this, he immediately realized it.

The person who came was a student from the Imperial College.

Just as he realized this, Gao Jian heard the clear sound of glass colliding.

A huge pressure came over me.

Only the bricks and stones under his feet suddenly cracked into spider-web-like patterns. As he stumbled back, he saw that the glazed skeleton that spanned the sky and blocked the sunlight was stretching its spine!

Two balls of dark blue flames suddenly ignited in the skeleton's empty eye sockets, and some kind of deathly aura was condensing. The man in green shirt had his sleeves fluttering, and seven stars were hanging on his fingertips. He took a step forward, and a layer of restriction ignited on the glazed skeleton. Those ignited restrictions condensed into materialized shackles in mid-air, locking the giant skeleton tightly with a crackling sound.

Gao Jian frowned slightly and looked around.

It was obvious that this pressure was only directed at him, and only the bricks and stones under his feet were broken.

Gao Jian didn't show any mercy to the other party. He drew his sword and the blade lit up immediately.

An inch of the blade was directly worn away. At the same time, Gao Jian's heart became as clear as a mirror, reflecting the charm of the other party's giant glazed skeleton.

Spirit is the part of heaven, and bones are the part of earth. It is clear and dispersed when it belongs to heaven, and turbid and gathered when it belongs to earth. Spirit is received from heaven, and bones are inherited from earth. The clear and transforming qi of heaven becomes spirit, and the heavy and turbid qi of earth becomes bones, so it is said to be inherited. It is said that "spirit enters its gate, and bones return to its root."

This huge glass skeleton is not actually a dead person, but "earth energy".

Then… the book says: “If winter politics is not enforced, the earth’s energy will not be hidden.”

If the earth's energy is not hidden, it will be able to take back its killing power. All insects will lie dormant, stay at home and close their doors, and the killing power will be quiet. As long as the earth's energy is not hidden, the killing power of the earth's energy can be taken back, and the huge killing power of the opponent's skeleton can be suppressed by the method of Dong Zheng's unstoppable power.

It happened in a flash. With the help of the clear mind brought by the blade, Gao Jian instantly understood the other party's situation, and then found a solution in his mind.

There's just a problem.

How can he achieve "no restrictions in winter"? With his current means, it seems impossible.

This was the first time Gao Jian encountered such a situation.

I saw through it, I learned it, and I understood it. I found a way to fight it, but... I can't do it.

Even if you know the opponent's background and weaknesses, you have no way to target them due to the limitations of your own means.

However, the opponent will not stand there and the next attack has already arrived.

The glazed skeleton stared at Gao Jian, and a chill like a dry bone swept over him.

Gao Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the attack was aimed at Shenguan, which was equivalent to the opponent giving up the initiative.

He simply ignored the attack, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and the blade had already rushed in front of the opponent!
"Huh?" The man in green exclaimed in surprise, as if he had not expected that his attack against the divine will would completely fail in front of the other party. How could this man's will be so firm?
This move lost the initiative, allowing the warrior Gao Jian to rush in front of him, and even he felt a little bit troubled.

Allowing warriors to get close to you is always a hassle for people from any sect.

but……

Gao Jian did not cut it down.

Instead, he put away his knife, dropped it on the glass skeleton, and extended his hand: "Greetings, senior."

The owner of the glazed skeleton raised his eyebrows and stopped the magic gestures he was making.

If Gao Jian had insisted on taking action just now, he would have taken the blow from Gao Jian and then let Gao Jian experience what it means to exchange injury for life.

Maybe Gao Jian still has some other means, but there is no need.

Because this junior fellow student is...interesting.

It is rare in the Imperial Academy to be able to force him to the point of exchanging injuries for his life.

Not to mention, this is a freshman.

newborn!

You know nothing, have never learned anything, and have never attended a single class, yet you can achieve this level!

What an interesting junior.

"No need to be polite, you... are amazing. I'm Canghai, a year older than you, and one level higher in cultivation. I wanted to come to see the new students and take you to school. After all, the roads in Yangjing are winding and it's easy to get lost, so it's a tradition to have seniors lead the way." Canghai said, sizing up Gao Jian: "But... have you found the way?"

"Yes, I found it. I read a book and it said that the Imperial Academy is above Taiweiyuan, where Wenchang Palace is located."

The six stars in the Dipper and the basket are collectively called the Wenchang Palace. Among them: one is the General, two is the Deputy General, three is the Noble Prime Minister, four is the God of Life, five is the God of Reign, and six is the God of Wealth.

The two stars in Wenchang are called Shangtai, which is the God of Life and is in charge of longevity; the next two stars are called Zhongtai, which is the God of Center and is in charge of royal family; the two stars in the east are called Xiatai, which is the God of Fortune and is in charge of military affairs.

The three terraces are the steps to heaven, and Taiyi steps up and down. One is called Taijie, and the star on the top step is the emperor.

These six areas together form the symbol of "fame, wealth and power", and are also the location of the Imperial College in this star array.

The meaning of this position is naturally very clear.

Once you come to the Imperial Academy, fame, wealth and status will naturally be within your reach. If you achieve success in your studies here, you will surely be in a high position in the Divine Dynasty in the future. If you cannot be a central court official, you can be sent out as a high-ranking official and hold all the power as the chief official of a local area.

At the same time, this area is also composed of three steps, called "Tianjie" and "Taijie". Above these three steps is the "Purple Star Emperor", which means to protect the emperor and become the emperor's "step".

The location of Imperial College is in such a place.

Now that Taiyi has changed his position... I don’t know what impact it will have.

"This is the Suzaku District, Jingxiu, and Shuifu. It's quite far away from Taiweiyuan, almost half of Yangjing. Considering the distance to Yangjing, it should be a matter of tomorrow to get there. What do you think? Do you want to stay here for one night, or should I wait for you until tomorrow? Or should we set off early tomorrow morning?" Canghai asked Gao Jian.

"Let's leave tomorrow. I have some people here and they are asleep. It's not easy to wake them up, but it's not easy to go alone. So, senior, do you want to wait for me here? Isn't there anyone else who wants to pick me up?" Gao Jian was a little surprised.

The green-shirted man named Canghai looked at the list in his hand and said, "It is said that there is another person named Helun nearby, the young master of the Taotie tribe. I am too lazy to go there. Today I met an interesting junior like you. By the way, since we have to wait for them, why don't we go to Liusu? There is a lot of food there. I kind of want to chat with you."

The eight stars of Liuxiu are the chefs of heaven, in charge of food and flavor.

The seven stars of Vermillion Bird are Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi and Zhen. Liu is right next to Jing. To the north of Jing is the place where various chefs from restaurants gather, which is probably the food street.

After hearing this, Gao Jian finally stood firm on the huge glass skeleton and looked carefully at the 'Canghai' in front of him.

The blue shirt was not a very precious thing, but it was not cheap either. It was made of Qingshan cloth that cost more than ten gold coins, and the embroidery was also very ordinary. It did not look like the clothes made by a professional embroiderer.

He doesn't have any magic weapon on his body. The most precious thing is probably the giant skeleton constructed with earth energy under his feet.

Looking at his name again, the surname Cang is very rare, and... it is not the name of those well-known Divine Dynasty families.

There are quite a few noble families in the Divine Dynasty, but there are definitely not many. There are only a few hundred of them in total, and they are scattered across the ten states of the Divine Dynasty. Among them, there are some noble families like the Ximen Family which are not very powerful.

There are only 20 to 30 families that can truly hold power in a state, such as the Shui, Zuo, and Wang families. I have memorized all of them, and there is no "Cang" or "Gao" among them.

From this perspective, this person is very likely like Gao Jian, who relied on his own abilities, received recommendations from some official groups, and obtained the qualification for a place in the Imperial College.

"Is it because of my last name that you favor me?" Gao Jian said, "I don't think it's necessary. I will go to Imperial College by myself tomorrow."

"Not really. Besides you, I also want to see a real dragon." Canghai said casually.
