"Can sadness change reality?" Yan Li lay back down and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
"You failed before you even tried," Ji Hyun-woon said sympathetically. "Don't you think it's very discouraging? Don't you still want to join the Nine Schools of Confucian orthodoxy? "
"Sometimes reality doesn't change according to my will," Yan Li said calmly. "Even if I'm in so much pain, so what? But there are some people and some things that I've seen clearly. "
"What people and things?" Ji Hyun-woon asked.
"You still have a major exam," Yan Li said.
"What's wrong with me?" Ji Hyun-woon glared at him fiercely, as if he would punch Yan Li to death if he dared to say anything bad about him.
Yan Li smiled and said in a magnetic voice, "I'll remember how you protected me that day."
"Oh, I see." Ji Hyun-woon shrugged. "Even if I see abandoned kittens and puppies on the streets, I'll take care of them. Who doesn't have sympathy? "
"You're a little cute when you don't say that." Yan Li rolled his eyes.
"What about the major exam?" Ji Hyun-woon said nonchalantly.
"Is the major exam like a carp leaping through the dragon gate?" Yan Li said sarcastically. "Not at all. It's more appropriate to say that it's like a dog digging a hole."
"You, you, you, aren't you scolding Xiao Wang as well?" Ji Hyun-woon angrily pointed at Yan Li's nose and said, "I think you're just saying that the grapes are sour because you can't eat them!"
"Maybe," Yan Li said calmly.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Ji Hyun-woon glanced at it and said to Yan Li, "Alright, you don't have to think so much. It'll affect your recovery. Lie down and don't move. I still have something to deal with." He got up and walked out.
"Is Xia Wanli dead?" Yan Li suddenly asked.
"Him?" Ji Hyun-woon stopped in his tracks. "Did you lose your memory? Ji Wuyu saved him and now he's living a carefree life! "
"I see," Yan Li said.
"Pig head," Ji Hyun-woon suddenly turned around and stared fixedly at Yan Li, "Tell me honestly, did you kill Liang Wen?"
"Yes," Yan Li said.
"No wonder you were injured so badly. How could that clown hurt you?" Ji Hyun-woon was touched. He grinned, "But aren't you afraid that Xiao Wang will betray you? I'm a member of the royal family, there's no reason for me to help you and not help my relatives. "
"Even if you betray me, my end won't be any worse than it is now," Yan Li said.
"Looks like you still can't get over it," Ji Hyun-woon said.
Yan Li didn't say anything.
"Rest." Ji Hyun-woon turned around and left.
After he left, Yan Li suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the bed, making a muffled sound that shook the entire bed. But because he used too much force, it affected his internal injuries. He couldn't help but grimace in pain. He took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes, thinking about his next move.
… …
Ji Hyun-woon followed Yuan Fushun outside and said, "What did those old fellows say?"
Yuan Fushun first looked in the direction of Yan Li's room, then laughed bitterly and said, "Although they more or less have some friendship with Prince, when Ji Wuji's matter is mentioned, they still avoid it like the plague. Who in the court doesn't know Ji Wuji's bad temper? This matter is very difficult to handle. "
"Ji Wuji must be crazy!" Ji Hyun-woon was so angry that he cursed. "He's ruining someone's future with just a few words. How can he be so immoral?"
Yuan Fushun thought that this matter had nothing to do with morality. He might as well say that it was revenge for ruining someone's mood. Moreover, it was only a small effort.
Of course, he dared not show it on his face. He said solemnly, "At the end of the day, this matter might be the will of the dynasty. If someone like Yan Li becomes successful, he'll be a thorn in the side of those old gluttons who are guarding the ancient system. "
"Let's look for him again. If it really doesn't work, I'll beg him!" Ji Hyun-woon said.
Yuan Fushun sighed and agreed to it. He walked to the door and suddenly recalled something. He turned around and said, "By the way, Crown Prince, two of Yan Li's friends are also working on his matter. I wonder if there'll be any results."
"His friends?" Ji Hyun-woon said doubtfully, "Didn't he say that he doesn't have any friends?"
"I only know that one of them is the last disciple of the Mountain Sea True Lord. You've met him before," Yuan Fushun said.
"Oh, it's him. This guy is quite reliable," Ji Hyun-woon said thoughtfully.
…
The person whom Ji Hyun-woon said was reliable was heading to a Taoist temple with Huang Shaoyu.
This Taoist temple was called the "Sun Shou Temple". The temple master was a highly respected Dharma Protector of the Pure Yang Temple. His name was Zhao Leshan, and his title was Qing Ping. All the Taoists in the world respected the Taoist Court and followed its rules. A Taoist's Dharma name could not be given casually, nor could they be given by themselves. Only when one's cultivation and virtue had reached a certain level could they be given a Taoist name or Dharma name.
Therefore, as long as there was a Daoist priest with a Dharma name, their cultivation had reached the level of mastery, and they were all like immortals.
"I'm so envious of Yan Li. He has people running errands for him even when he's lying down," Huang Shaoyu said with a snort. However, his footsteps were not slow.
Yu Qiuyu was a little worried, so he said, "When you see Taoist Qing Ping, don't be so talkative."
"Don't worry. If worst comes to worst, I'll just sew my mouth shut. Although we of the Underworld Forest have connections with both sides, it's still more convenient for you people of Confucian orthodoxy to do this kind of thing. " Huang Shaoyu picked his nose. "But it's said that once this Crown Prince has decided on something, even nine bulls can't pull him back. Does Taoist Qing Ping have a way to handle it?"
"It's hard to say." Yu Qiuyu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
At this time, they arrived at the entrance of the Sun Shou Temple. A young man had been waiting for a long time with his arms crossed. "You're here."
"Yes." Yu Qiuyu stepped onto the stairs and looked straight at the young man. "I've found everyone in the capital. This is the last one."
The young man was Ju Yingshu. He pondered and said, "I can only guarantee that Martial Uncle will meet you. Whether it succeeds or not depends on Yan Li's luck."
"There's one thing I don't quite understand," he said in confusion. "I know that you and Yan Li are classmates, but you don't have to do so much for him, do you?"
"I didn't do much. I just ran around." Huang Shaoyu shrugged. This was the truth.
Yu Qiuyu said, "I can't beat him."
Ju Yingshu was startled and then said, "So what? After the enlightenment, the gap between him and us will only grow. "
If he knew that Yan Li practiced the Taibai Sword Sutra, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
"He has always been stronger than me. That's why I can see my own flaws," Yu Qiuyu said.
Ju Yingshu sighed and said, "That's why the train of thought of you swordsmen is quite puzzling. Come in with me. "
The Sun Shou Temple was not big. There was an incense burner in front of the door, and two stone lanterns were lit at the door.
The main hall worshiped Xuan Xuanzi, the first ancestor of cultivation, and Xuan Xingzi, the first ancestor of Taoism.
The two sages stood side by side, and the incense was very strong.
A Daoist in his early fifties was sitting on a yellow cattail hassock under the altar. He was tall and had a thin face. His black hair reached below his chest, and he wore a dark blue Daoist robe with a cross crown on his head.
"I am Yu Qiuyu from the Heavenly Sword Peak. Nice to meet you, Taoist Qingping." Yu Qiuyu greeted the Taoist with a disciple's salute. Although it was a little dry, it wasn't easy for him to make such a gesture with his personality.
Huang Shaoyu said seriously, "I am Huang Shaoyu, a junior. Nice to meet you, Taoist Qingping. Before I met you, I would never believe that there is such an immortal in this world!"
The Taoist was Zhao Leshan.
Zhao Leshan slowly turned around from the cattail hassock. His eyes were narrow and narrow, which destroyed his overall sage-like appearance. However, his expression was very calm. He did not even look at Huang Shaoyu. He only looked at Yu Qiuyu and said directly,
"Yingshu refused to tell me why you came. He said that he wanted to teach you in person. You can say it now. "
Huang Shaoyu was treated as air, and he was a little angry. This Taoist obviously did not take him seriously at all, so he rushed to say, "I would like to let you know that there was a wrong case recently. The situation is extremely complicated, and it affected my and Qiuyu's friends. I would like to ask you to come out and set things right."
"Did I allow you to speak?" Zhao Leshan glanced at Huang Shaoyu indifferently.
"You …" Huang Shaoyu was furious.
But Zhao Leshan only released a little bit of his aura, and it immediately turned Huang Shaoyu into a frosted eggplant.
"How many innocent people's blood have your hands been stained with?" Zhao Leshan's eyes suddenly became fierce. "If it wasn't for Yingshu, I would not have allowed you to enter the monastery!"
Huang Shaoyu's heart trembled. He subconsciously took two steps back, gulped, and did not dare to say another word.
Yu Qiuyu organized his words, took a deep breath, and said, "I have a friend who lost the qualification for the Major Examination, and I would like to ask you to be my mediator."
"So it's because of this." Zhao Leshan's gaze returned to Yu Qiuyu. "The Crown Prince's judgment is reasonable. If it was me, I would have made the same decision. This matter cannot be changed."
Yu Qiuyu's heart sank, and he said, "Senior …"
"Don't say anything more. Let's go." Zhao Leshan waved his hand and turned back.
The three of them came out of the monastery, and Ju Yingshu said apologetically, "Uncle-Master has always been particular about karma. It's not that he doesn't want to help you, but he can't find a reason to."
"I think he's just afraid that the court will tear down his monastery!" Huang Shaoyu could not help but say angrily.
Ju Yingshu's expression immediately darkened, and he said, "Almsgiver Huang, please be careful with your words. The Shou Yang Monastery and the Pure Yang Monastery are of the same root. No one in this world dares to tear down our Pure Yang Monastery!"
There was an extraordinary confidence in his words, which was something a "grassroots" like Huang Shaoyu could not understand.
"You shut up!" Yu Qiuyu glared at Huang Shaoyu, who still wanted to refute.
Huang Shaoyu shut his mouth, and as he walked, he saw a sloppy man walking toward him. He could not help but ask in confusion, "Shen Wanzhou?"
Shen Wanzhou walked up to them and said to Yu Qiuyu, "Follow me to the East Palace."
Yu Qiuyu also recognized the person, and he said in shock, "The East Palace?"
