"It's good that you have confidence." Yu Yun Jun was satisfied.
Pei Zi Yun saw that the conversation had ended, and noticed that the ink on the painting had dried. He then rolled it up and handed a letter over.
"Master, I believe you know the whereabouts of my childhood sweetheart, Ye Su 'er. Please help me pass these two things to her."
"In the past, I was not very talented, and my cultivation was not high enough. Even if I were to pass them to her, I'm afraid that her sect would reject me. I don't want to disturb her cultivation."
"Now, it should be enough." Pei Zi Yun said, his voice was filled with melancholy.
He had the original owner's memories, and had the experiences of his past life. Naturally, he understood this logic. Don't assume that Daoists do not have the concept of a marriage of equal status.
Hearing Pei Zi Yun's words, Yu Yun Jun could only sigh. She had done her research and found out that Ye Su 'er was extremely talented. It's just that once she entered the sect, she would get married in the future. Ai … Yu Yun Jun sighed in her heart and did not say much. She took the letter and the painting and turned to leave.
Pei Zi Yun walked to the window and looked out. In the distance, there were many mountains and birds flying about. He thought to himself, "Ye Su 'er, are you doing well? How could you trust a Daoist Nun so easily and leave me? "
Qian Ji Mountain
Qian Ji Mountain was a famous place, stretching for hundreds of miles. The mountains were tall and the waters were clear. There were many mountains and valleys, and there were hundreds of temples on the mountain.
One of the temples was deep in the mountains, with clear water. From afar, one could see birds flying in the sky. The mountains on both sides of the mountain looked like a dragon, and the other looked like a tiger. They were two small mountains, and this was a small branch of Black Altar Sect. At the end of this branch, there was a Daoist temple.
Although this Daoist temple was built on top of the branch, it did not look like a paradise. It looked very ordinary.
A Daoist walked towards them. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years of age, and was dressed in a feathered robe and a crown of stars. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, and his body was like a willow in spring. His face was like the mid-autumn, and he looked extremely spirited. If it was Pei Zi Yun, he would have gritted his teeth in anger. This Daoist was Xie Cheng Dong, the man who would become a True Sovereign in the future.
At this moment, Xie Chengdong was leading a little Daoist boy. The little Daoist boy was carrying a box that was engraved with some Dao patterns. The two of them entered the Daoist temple. A blindfolded Daoist was sitting inside the temple, holding a hand seal. When he saw Xie Chengdong, he smiled and said, "I was wondering who it was. So it's Young Master Xie."
Xie Cheng Dong wasn't angered by the Blind Daoist's words. He laughed, "You said that the heavens have shifted. I've ordered people to retrieve this turtle. Come and take a look. Is this turtle alright?"
Xie Chengdong waved his hand, and the Dao child behind him carried the box forward and opened it. Within the box was a black tortoise tied up by a silver chain. The silver chain had silver runes on it, and the tortoise was extremely ferocious. As the box was opened, it seemed to wake up, and it stretched out its head to bite the chain.
"Kacha, kacha." The tortoise bit down ferociously, but the chain did not budge.
The Dao child looked at the ferocious tortoise, and his face turned pale. He then carried the tortoise and placed it in front of the blind Daoist.
The blind Daoist seemed to have an intense black aura around him. When the Dao child neared, he felt a strong sense of disgust. He hurriedly retreated, as though he had just seen a poisonous snake. His face was filled with fear.
The blind Daoist stretched out his hand and gently stroked the tortoise's body, feeling every single inscription on it. The tortoise was originally ferocious, but when the blind Daoist touched it, it was as though he had been struck by lightning. The tortoise's entire head retracted into the tortoise, and its body trembled violently, as though it had just met its natural predator. Its four limbs moved in an attempt to escape.
The blind Daoist then tore off the black cloth that covered his eyes, and pulled his hair back, revealing his face. His eyes were gone, and there were only two bloody holes on his face. His entire face was filled with sores, and his entire body seemed to emit a strong stench. Anyone who saw him would be unable to avoid him.
Looking at the blind Daoist's appearance, the Dao child was so frightened that he retreated several steps before stopping. He then leaned against the wall in disbelief. Xie Cheng Dong was used to this, "Go out and guard the door. I have something important to discuss with the Daoist leader."
"Yes!" Hearing Xie Cheng Dong's words, the Dao child endured the disgust he felt towards the blind Daoist and bowed before leaving the room. Seeing the Dao child leave, the blind Daoist then spoke, "Young Master Xie, this tortoise can be used. It's just that ever since I was saved by your father twenty years ago, I've been divining for your father and for you. I've even used the Art of Thieving the Heavens. Although I had the protection of the Earth Meridians, the sin still followed me."
The blind Daoist could only sigh.
"I'll remember all your hard work. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to achieve what I have today." Xie Cheng Dong spoke in a serious tone.
"Young Master Xie, I have no other requests. If I carry on like this, I'm afraid my lifespan will run out in a few years. When that happens, I'll fall into the netherworld and be plagued by sin. All I ask is for Young Master to achieve the Dao and be redeemed in the future. That would be enough." As the blind Daoist spoke, blood flowed out from the holes in his eyes, turning into two streams of tears.
"Don't worry. Since you've divined for me, I'll definitely redeem you in the future. I'll agree to this." Xie Cheng Dong's face was filled with confidence and determination.
"Since Young Master has agreed to this, I'm relieved." The blind Daoist laughed out as he picked up the tortoise. The tortoise seemed to have sensed the impending doom, as its body started to struggle within its shell, trembling.
The blind Daoist didn't seem to care. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the tortoise's shell gently. The tortoise seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, as its head popped out from the shell.
Seeing the tortoise in such a state, the blind Daoist retrieved a small knife from within his sleeves and sliced the tortoise's neck. Blood flowed out from the tortoise's neck.
The blind Daoist retrieved a jade plate and placed the tortoise inside. The tortoise wasn't dead yet, and was glaring at the blind Daoist fiercely. As time passed, the tortoise's body began to lose its vitality, and the tortoise's blood dripped into the plate.
"Young Master, please take a step back. I'm about to set up an altar. In order to avoid inauspicious events, I hope Young Master will leave." The blind Daoist bowed. Xie Cheng Dong was experienced, and smiled as he walked out the door.
The blind Daoist then stood up and retrieved the memorial tablet. He then pulled off the shirt covering his arms, revealing his arms. His arms were filled with scars, one after another. He used a small knife to slice his arms open, and blood dripped down from his arms onto the jade plate. The tortoise's blood mixed with the blind Daoist's, and became a blur.
The blind Daoist gently brushed his hands across his arms, and the bleeding wounds on his arms began to heal. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't close the wounds. It was as if there was a black aura that was preventing him from doing so.
He picked up the jade plate and used a jade pen to write on the tortoise's body. These words were twisted and contorted, and it was difficult to make out what they were. The moment he finished writing, he set up the altar. He then retrieved the tortoise's blood and started to draw on it. The blood disappeared as soon as it touched the tortoise's shell.
Pointing his finger, a furnace in front of the altar started to burn, emitting a green flame. The blind Daoist then threw the tortoise's shell into the altar, where it was instantly engulfed in flames.
"Crackle!"
First, the tortoise's flesh started to burn, and the entire hall was filled with a pungent smell. Once the flesh was completely burnt, the flames started to stick onto the tortoise's shell. After some time, the tortoise's shell exploded, and the flames were extinguished. Only a few pieces of the tortoise remained.
The blind Daoist walked up to take a look, and his face changed as he gasped in shock.
Xie Cheng Dong was outside when he heard this and rushed in. Seeing the blind Daoist's pale face, he asked, "Is there a calamity?"
The blind Daoist touched the tortoise's shell as his face changed, "Young Master, the fate of Ying Prefecture and Free Cloud Sect has changed."
"What?" Xie Cheng Dong's face changed as well as he took a step forward, "Ying Prefecture? Could it be Ji Bei Hou? That makes sense. But why would Free Cloud Sect appear in the midst of all these changes? "
"Free Cloud Sect has appeared in the heavens' prophecy. According to the original prophecy, they should have appeared ten years later. But they've appeared now. That's why I said that there's been a change in fate." The blind Daoist replied coldly.
"It's just a small sect. If it's a change in Imperial Qi ten years later, it's understandable that they've appeared. But now that the world is stable, why would there be a change in fate? Could it be that this sect is more important than the Three Ye's and Two Guo's? "
"Mister, you've said before that the fate of this world will never disappear, nor will it appear out of thin air. Why has it appeared now?"
Xie Cheng Dong was in disbelief as he asked hurriedly.
The blind Daoist fell into deep thought, "The fate of this world has been fixed for a long time. There must be a reason for such a huge change. For example, the Three Leaves and Two Fruits only have three leaves and one fruit. It's because I was saved by your father. In order to repay his kindness, I used a once in a lifetime technique that goes against the heavens and snatched away the fate of this world."
"The Three Leaves and Two Fruits are the only male. He originally had the responsibility of bringing the other three leaves and one fruit into his harem. This was the great responsibility of the heavens. I transferred all of this man's fate and energy to you, Young Master, in order to change the fate of this world."
"Then is there a second mister?"
"That's impossible." The blind Daoist spoke resolutely, "The heavens cannot be blasphemed against. It can be said that I'm the only one in the past thousands of years. And because of that, I've been punished by the heavens."
"Although that's not the case, I still feel that something's not right. I've been punished by the heavens, and my ability to pry into the secrets of the heavens has been reduced by half. However, the portion of energy that is connected to Young Master's fate, I can still feel that this change is disadvantageous to Young Master. Besides, there's an unknown fog that I can't understand. If I want to know the real reason, I'll have to send someone to investigate in secret."
"Is that so? Then I'll make a trip. I want to see Free Cloud Sect and Ying Prefecture. Who's the one who caused the heavens to change, and who's the one who's plotting against me. "Xie Cheng Dong spoke out.
"Young Master, you've been blessed by the heavens. All these years, you've been advancing forward with great luck. You've obtained many opportunities and planted many pawns. However, you've used up quite a bit of your fate energy. You should be meditating in Hidden Mountain now, and allow these opportunities to restore your strength and fate energy. You should be accumulating the heavens' will. You shouldn't attack now."
"Don't forget, you're the one who usurped the throne, and not the orthodox one. There's a flaw in this. If you're not careful, all your efforts might go to waste!"
Hearing these words, Xie Cheng Dong frowned and asked, "Mister, all these years, you've tried to pry into the secrets of the heavens. You've also tried to cast such a spell, and yet you can't leave the monastery. Could it be that you can now?"
"Young Master, how's that possible? I can't leave the monastery. If I do, I'll die. You're in a critical situation now, and can't leave. Furthermore, you can't command the people from Dark Altar Sect. If not, you might end up helping Dark Altar Sect instead."
"I have a disciple, Shi Mu Zhong. You've seen him before. Although he doesn't have the ability to pry into the secrets of the heavens, he's learned some divination skills from me. He can assist Young Master, and find out the reason for this anomaly."
As he spoke, the Blind Daoist's face turned green as he spat out a mouthful of blood. The stench of blood permeated the air. It was obvious that he was suffering from a backlash. Seeing the Blind Daoist spitting out blood again, Xie Cheng Dong's expression softened as he sighed, "I understand. Mister, rest well."
