Xu Qi 'an put on his robe and climbed up to the Eight Trigrams Platform alone.
The chilly autumn wind was like a thin knife stabbing into the skin of his face.
He saw the back of the Daibun's Patron again. Different from the past when he sat in front of the table, this time, the Supervisor stood at the edge of the Eight Trigrams Platform with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the palace.
"What's your 'meaning'?" the Supervisor asked.
"Broken Jade!"
Xu Qi 'an replied straightforwardly.
"Broken Jade …"
The Supervisor chewed on this word slowly and nodded with a smile. "It matches the characteristics of the Heaven and Earth Single Cut. It's not a waste for me to give this unique skill to you."
"You old coin …" Xu Qi 'an had guessed this long ago, but it was the first time the Supervisor acknowledged it.
The Supervisor asked again, "Do you know the origin of the Heaven and Earth Single Cut?"
Xu Qi 'an shook his head.
"It came from a First Grade Warrior. The First Grade Warrior tried to break the Cage of Heaven and Earth with the sword in his hand, and then he died," the Supervisor said with a smile.
"That means he used the wrong weapon. If he had used an axe, he might have succeeded …" Even in such a bad situation, Xu Qi 'an couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"What's the name of a First Grade Warrior?" He took the opportunity to add more knowledge and asked the question in his heart.
The Supervisor shook his head. "When Confucian Sages divided the realms into nine grades, he left the First Grade Warrior blank and didn't give it a name. It's interesting that Confucian Sages named the Super Grade Warrior as Martial God.
"What's more interesting is that since the Celestial and Devil Age, First Grade Warrior is rare, but there will always be one or two in the long history of hundreds of thousands of years. Only the Martial God never appeared. "
This was indeed interesting. The ranks that had already appeared were left blank by the Confucian Saint, while the ranks that had never appeared were named 'Martial Gods' by the Confucian Saint. A series of question marks flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind.
At the same time, he was thinking about why the Supervisor had given him the Heaven and Earth Single Cut. He couldn't have hoped that he could cut open the cage of heaven and earth with one slash, could he?
I'm not Pangu … He muttered to himself, "Can you tell me about Jeanne d 'Arc? I'm a little curious. "
"Why are you talking about him? What a disappointment!"
The Supervisor shook his head. His tone was like a passerby who had stepped on a pile of dog poop on the street and exclaimed, "F * ck!
Then, he walked away in disgust.
The Supervisor waved his hand, and a milky-white pill floated in front of Xu Qi'an. "Eat this pill, and your injuries will heal very quickly."
Xu Qi'an took the pill and swallowed it. He took a few steps forward and said, "Supervisor, I only have one request for you."
…
Yunlu Academy.
Light flickered, and a figure in white took Xu Qi'an to the foot of the mountain. The figure in white faced the stone steps, with the back of his head facing Xu Qi'an.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yang."
Xu Qi'an expressed his sincere gratitude to the Act-Tough King and said, "I'll invite you to have a drink in the brothel when you have time."
"You don't have to!"
Yang Qianhuan snorted coldly, and his figure flashed and disappeared.
After a while, he flashed back and stared at Xu Qi'an with the back of his head. "If you can find a terminally ill Top Beauty of the Musical House, I can consider it."
"Why the terminally ill Top Beauty of the Musical House …" Xu Qi'an couldn't understand for a moment. "Senior Brother Yang has such a weird sexual hobby?
Does he like to perform acupuncture on girls? "
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yang Qianhuan took it as a yes. He tilted his head back twice to show that he nodded, and then disappeared.
"Senior Brother Yang is always weird, and his brain circuit is not the same as that of ordinary people." Xu Qi'an muttered.
Thinking of an alchemy madman who wanted to make trouble every day, a shivering wretch, and a gourmet, he suddenly became calm.
Xu Qi'an looked up at the top of the mountain, and then slowly climbed the mountain.
Just as he reached halfway up the mountain, he turned his head and saw an old Confucian scholar sitting in a pavilion by the stone steps. His hair was white and messy, and his robe was washed and faded.
It was Zhao Shou, the dean.
"You're here!" Zhao Shou said with a smile.
Xu Qi'an didn't answer. He sat down beside the pavilion, thought for a moment, and asked, "Dean, do you know about Joan of Arc?"
Zhao Shou was silent for a long time. "Before the battle, Wei Yuan mentioned it to me, but he wasn't sure at that time."
Duke Wei really knew about it. Even if there was no evidence, there was no lack of corresponding speculation. Even so, he still insisted on attacking the headquarters and sealing the God of Sorcerer …
He said in the letter that it involved a secret above the supreme grade …
Xu Qi'an pondered and said, "Why did Duke Wei seal the God of Sorcerer?"
Zhao Shou didn't answer him directly. "Have you heard of the legend about the God of Sorcerer in the Southern Border?"
Xu Qi'an frowned, and immediately thought of Lina's words.
The prophet of the Heaven Gu Division predicted that the God of Sorcerer would wake up sooner or later. At that time, it would bring unimaginable disaster to the World of Jiuzhou, and the whole Jiuzhou would become a world of gu.
Xu Qi'an was shocked. Now he knew that the God of Sorcerer was also sealed by Confucian Sages, and the God of Sorcerer was also sealed by Confucian Sages. According to the legend of the God of Sorcerer, if the God of Sorcerer was unsealed, would it bring a similar disaster?
Was this the reason why Duke Wei would risk his life to seal the God of Sorcerer … Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and asked,
"How much do you know about Joan of Arc?"
"I have lived in seclusion in the Qingyun Mountain for many years, so I don't know much about the former emperor. Although Wei Yuan realized that Joan of Arc might still be alive, he didn't have time to check. "Zhao Shou paused and analyzed.
"But we can guess his purpose to a certain extent according to his behavior."
Xu Qi'an waved his hand.
"My understanding of him might be deeper than yours. All the purpose of Joan of Arc was to live a long life. No, it should be to be a long life emperor.
"Duke Wei once told me that the war will shake the destiny and affect the country. The more the war is lost, the more the destiny will be lost until the country is destroyed. "
The reason was not difficult to understand. The country kept losing, people kept dying, and the territory kept being occupied. Over time, the country would definitely be destroyed.
Zhao Shou nodded and continued the topic, "So Joan of Arc colluded with the God of Sorcerer to kill Wei Yuan and tried to wipe out the 100,000 troops in order to destroy the destiny of Daibun.
"The armies of Yan and Kang Kingdoms attacked Jade Sun Pass unreasonably to slaughter Xiangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou and destroy the destiny of Daibun.
"Now, he is not willing to give Wei Yuan a name. His real purpose is not just a name. He wants to use this to define the war as a crushing defeat. In this war, Daibun lost, and the 100,000 troops were almost wiped out. As long as it is announced to the world and the people believe it, it will also shake the destiny of the country. "
Xu Qi'an nodded. This was not difficult to understand.
He looked at Dean Cynic and frowned. "I have a question, but before that, I have to ask you a question. Is it possible to weaken one's luck to a certain extent, and that would negate the law of the universe that states' one cannot live forever with luck on their side '?"
"I know what you want to say. If it's only a small amount of being tainted by destiny, he won't be restricted by the law of heaven and earth. But Joan of Arc can't. Unless Daibun is destroyed, he will still be the ruler of a country. Then, his lifespan will definitely come to an end, and he won't live longer than ordinary people. "
Zhao Shou gave his answer in a rather certain tone.
In that case, my conjecture of infinitely weakening destiny and breaking the law of heaven and earth won't hold water … Xu Qi'an frowned.
"In that case, what is he trying to do? Yes, all members of the royal family have destiny. As the emperor, Joan of Arc's destiny is the greatest. Does he want to destroy the country to get rid of the shackles of destiny?
"But this contradicts the desire and reluctance for power that Yuanjing Emperor has shown."
The two immediately fell silent and didn't speak again.
A few minutes later, Zhao Shou said, "I have a rough guess."
Xu Qi'an immediately sat up straight and adopted a posture of listening attentively. "Please speak."
Zhao Shou slowly said, "Joan of Arc and the Witchcraft Cult joined forces to destroy a hundred thousand troops and kill Wei Yuan. The former was to erase Daibun's destiny, while the latter was to protect the Witchcraft Cult. Both sides took what they needed in this cooperation.
"Then, why did the Witchcraft Cult send troops to attack the Jade Sun Pass in such a hurry? If it's just to take revenge on Daibun, a truce would be the wisest choice given the Witchcraft Cult's current state.
"Victory and defeat are common in war. Revenge can be taken at any time, but there's no need to fight so desperately. If it's for an alliance or a promise … Heh heh, there's only interest between the two countries, not feelings. "
Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up as he vaguely grasped something. "There must be a temptation that the Witchcraft Cult can't resist."
Zhao Shou showed an expression that showed that he was worth teaching and continued.
"According to what you said, Joan of Arc's goal is to become a long-lived emperor. So, what's the way to make him an emperor and live forever? Let's put it another way and you might understand.
"You know the ruling structure of the three affiliated countries of the Witchcraft Cult, right?"
That's the capital where the divine power is superior to the imperial power. Of course, Xu Qi'an knew.
He replied, "Their monarchs control the military power, and their courtiers control the political power. Above the two, there's a third-grade Spirit Intellect to maintain the balance, but they usually don't intervene in military and political affairs. "
Zhao Shou got up and walked out of the pavilion. He looked northeast and said faintly, "The monarchs of the three countries are actually vassal kings. The real center is Jingshan City. The real emperor should be the Great Wizard, Salen Agu.
"But Salen Agu has lived for thousands of years."
Boom!
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Xu Qi 'an's mind, leaving him dumbfounded and trembling all over.
Salen Agu was the Great Wizard and the supreme leader of Jingshan City. In the past thousand years when the Witch God was sealed, he was the real decision-maker of the Witchcraft Cult. His status was equivalent to the emperor of the Central Plains.
And Salen Agu was a first-grade master who lived from ancient times to the present.
"Dean, do you mean that Joan of Arc wants to imitate Salen Agu? No, to become the second Salen Agu?"
The shock in Xu Qi'an's eyes slowly subsided, and his tone became calm.
"Yes, as long as Daibun becomes an affiliated country of the Witchcraft Cult, he can become the second Salen Agu. Salen Agu is in charge of the three countries in the Northeast, and Joan of Arc can be in charge of the thirteen states of the Central Plains.
"He's still the emperor. The only difference is that there's a Witch God above his head. But the Witch God has been sealed, and no one can keep him in check. Even if the Witch God is unsealed, the supreme wizard can make Salen Agu control the Northeast, so it's not impossible for him to make Joan of Arc control the Central Plains.
"Joan of Arc's cultivation is at least second-grade. Such a master deserves the greatest respect from the Witchcraft Cult. For the Witchcraft Cult, turning Daibun into their affiliated country is what the founding emperor of Daibun promised, and it's what the Witchcraft Cult has dreamed of.
"So they urgently attacked Jade Sun Pass and cooperated with Joan of Arc to shake Daibun's luck. In this way, the behavior of Joan of Arc and the Witchcraft Cult can be perfectly explained. If they want to turn the Central Plains into an affiliated country of the Witchcraft Cult, they must first weaken Daibun's luck. I can understand this, but how exactly do they do it?
"Luck is mysterious, but the heroes of the Central Plains are real. If the people don't agree, they will definitely rise up, regardless of whether you're from the Witchcraft Cult or Buddhism. But maybe this is what the Witchcraft Cult wants to see?"
He chattered nervously while looking at Zhao Shou, asking for his opinion.
"Our guess is the same. As for how to turn the Central Plains into an affiliated country of the Witchcraft Cult, this may be another supreme wizard's secret. I don't know. At least Confucian Sages didn't leave a word, so we can only explore it ourselves, "Zhao Shou said in a deep voice.
"How did the Witch God achieve immortality by condensing the luck of the three countries in the Northeast?" Xu Qi 'an frowned.
"No one said, and there are no written records, that the Witch God condensed the luck of the three countries in the Northeast. Maybe the Supervisor can answer this question. The practice of warlocks is related to luck. The Supervisor has lived for five hundred years, and the warlock system was born from the wizards. "
Zhao Shou answered.
So transcendent-rank Magi could also manipulate fate like Warlocks? Xu Qi 'an was silent for a moment and stared at Dean Cynic.
"I came this time to take away the item that Duke Wei left for me."
Zhao Shou didn't nod. Instead, he looked at him. "Have you decided?"
Xu Qi 'an nodded slowly. "In the past, I didn't understand why the Supervisor always watched coldly from the sidelines. He clearly had the ability, but he didn't do anything. Especially after I learned of the existence of Joan of Arc, I couldn't understand it and even resented him.
"After Duke Wei died, I was like a man in a desperate situation with nowhere to retreat. During that time, I thought about many things and reviewed many details. I suddenly realized that the answer had been given to me long ago, but I just didn't realize it. "
As he said that, he looked at a certain place at the peak of Qingyun Mountain and said with emotion, "Great Confucian Qian Zhong has already told me the answer."
Only luck could defeat luck.
Confucian cultivation was related to luck. The second-rank Great Confucian brought the resentment of the people to scatter the Dragon Vein of the State of Zhou.
If the Supervisor wanted to kill Joan of Arc, it would be like Qian Zhong hitting the Dragon Vein.
Both good and bad would be destroyed.
Zhao Shou's sleeve slowly swept over the stone table in the pavilion, and a brocade box appeared on the stone table.
"This is what Wei Yuan gave you," Zhao Shou said with a smile.
