Monk Liaochen did not mind Zhang Ping's doubts and continued, "I am an otherworldly person and should not interfere with the affairs of the mortal world. However, the demon caused chaos and stole the country's fate, causing the natural disasters to multiply and even the earthquake this time. The people of the world died because of the demon's greed. The demon not only stole the fate of a country but also the vitality of the people. My friend, you have learned some Xuanshu, you should understand. "
Wei Ci was scared by Liaochen a few times and now his mind was much clearer.
"Who is that demon?"
Liaochen shook his head and said, "I don't know. This demon is extremely cunning and we still don't know what he looks like. "
Wei Ci was shocked and said, "This demon actually dared to do this …"
He had learned Xuanshu and naturally knew some unorthodox methods. Stealing and transferring fate were all evil techniques and almost no one had a good ending.
Stealing a little could lead to the death of an entire family, but …
Wei Ci closed his eyes and carefully recalled the successive disasters in Dongqing over the years. Compared to the situation in his previous life, it was at least thirty percent more. In addition to the huge earthquake this time, he did not dare to imagine how much of Dongqing's fate was stolen and how much of the vitality of the people was stolen.
It was unbelievable that he could still be alive after stealing so much.
It was true that Dongqing's fate was nearing its end but it could still survive for seven to eight years. However, looking at the current situation, it might not even last two to three years.
The ability to check the fate of a country could only be done by a mighty person.
The old monk in front of him was probably a real Taoist master.
"In fact, I had already noticed it ten years ago. At that time, Dongqing's fate was weakening rapidly and the fate was getting thinner and thinner."
When a country was about to die, it would either die today or tomorrow. Liaochen did not care about this at all.
People outside of the secular world did not like to interfere with worldly affairs and would get involved in karma and sin for no reason.
However, this demon who stole the fate had evil intentions. When Liaochen made up his mind to catch it, he realized that the demon's whereabouts were strange and he could not find any trace of it. The demon stole around Dongqing and left a mess behind. Instead, the innocent people had to bear the consequences.
"Even with your level of cultivation, you can't catch that demon?"
Wei Ci frowned and was worried.
"There's nothing we can do." Monk Liaochen shook his head helplessly, "But it was this earthquake that allowed me to discover some clues. The next Ziwei Emperor Star's fate was also stolen a little, but the Emperor Star's actions were in accordance with the will of the heavens, so it should have grown … "
Wei Ci's face suddenly turned pale. He understood who the Ziwei Imperial Star that Wei Chen was talking about was.
According to his words, could it be that the demon had his eyes on her?
Although the Emperor's Aura of Ziwei was a mysterious thing, Wei Ci knew that it would be fatal to lack it at certain times.
Take a chestnut, for example, having the geographical and human advantages, but lacking the crucial "timing", what kind of feeling was that?
Sometimes, luck was also a part of strength.
Wei Ci knew that the person was capable, had a good temperament and means, but if he was defeated because his luck was weaker than his opponent's, then it would be too unjust.
"Master, do you mean … that demon is currently lurking around Lanting?"
"Yes, I realized this, so I hurried to the north to warn Liu Langjun to be careful. But … "Liaochen smiled bitterly," That Langjun is full of malice. Not to mention the demon, even if a ghost came, I'm afraid it would turn around and run. "
Monk Liaochen realized that Jiang Pengji's Emperor's Aura had mysteriously decreased, then after a period of time, it steadily increased again.
He spent a lot of effort to calculate and realized that this person's fate was many times more malice than the previous dynasty's Prime Minister Huangfu's fate.
If that demon really had his eyes on her, it would not end well.
Speaking of which … the fate of this young man in front of him seemed to be no different from that of Prime Minister Huangfu.
It was no wonder that this person and Liu Langjun were fated in the mortal world.
Using malice against malice, they were a pair.
Harming each other, saving the world.
Amitabha!
Good, good!
Monk Liaochen chanted the name of Buddha in his heart. On the surface, he showed a compassionate look, as if there was a Buddha's aura behind him.
"So, I prepared to go back."
Since he was fine, why would he go to the earthquake-stricken area?
Wei Ci was speechless.
"When I passed by this place, I found a dying phoenix. I knew it was you, so I came to pay a visit."
After Monk Liaochen finished, he looked at Wei Ci silently.
If this person died, the Zhenlong would only be left with a lonely life. Even if he could found a country, there would be no inheritance. It was equivalent to ending a dynasty.
Enlightening this person's heart was equivalent to saving his life. It indirectly linked the fate of a country, but it was not related to karma.
Feeling good.
For a superior person like Monk Liaochen, nothing was more attractive than merit.
Wei Ci was an introverted person. After being lectured by Monk Liaochen, his cheeks turned bright red. It was not because he had a fever, but because he was embarrassed.
At this moment, he was really glad that he was seriously ill. Otherwise, he would not have the face to see anyone.
Liaochen said, "The Ziwei Imperial Star is fine. You should focus on recuperating. Don't think too much."
"Thank you, master."
As if a huge rock had been removed, Wei Ci felt his entire body become lighter.
Seeing that he was still tired, Monk Liaochen gestured to leave. Zhang Ping stood up to send him off. Along the way, his expression was extremely conflicted.
Monk Liaochen thanked the farmer for the two pancakes and a full water pouch. He took the bamboo hat and wooden staff from the young novice monk.
"Farewell, almsgiver." Monk Liaochen was about to leave.
"Wait, master …" Zhang Ping stopped him and asked hesitantly, "Zixiao … he has the fate of a phoenix?"
Since ancient times, when was there a man who was empress?
Master Liaochen said, "The phoenix is a male bird."
So, there was nothing wrong with the fate of a phoenix.
Zhang Ping's expression became more conflicted, but he did not pursue the matter. Instead, he went back to take care of the patient with a heart full of worries.
After Zhang Ping walked far away, the young novice monk raised his head and asked, "Abbot, why did that almsgiver look so pale?"
Liaochen said seriously, "It's because he is not used to it."
The young novice monk seemed to understand.
Liaochen continued, "In the future, when you travel thousands of miles of mountains and rivers with your feet, you will be used to the misery of the world. Naturally, you will not be surprised."
Zhang Ping felt that his worldview had been ruthlessly reshaped. After a few days, Wei Ci's sickly appearance had disappeared. Instead, he was the one who was conflicted.
Besides, when Jiang Pengji led the people to Xiangyang district, they met many mobs along the way. But how could the unorganized and undisciplined mobs compare to the well-equipped imperial guards and the troops who were strong and capable in battle?
With nearly twenty thousand people, the marching speed was naturally not fast. Jiang Pengji was not in a hurry either. They walked during the day and rested after three meals. At night, they camped out for the night. Even the elderly and children could easily keep up with the troops. None of the injured people were left behind.
It was another night in the open. The troops that were sent to Xiangyang district to spearhead the attack returned in a sorry state.
When Jiang Pengji heard the news, she hurriedly sent someone over to report.
Hearing that, she almost exploded.
"What?" Jiang Pengji's voice suddenly rose. "You said that bastard occupied my Xiangyang district?"
