Chapter 72 Xiao Yin and Emperor Liu (Part 1)
These two futures belong to relatively complete "lines", and some "lines" come to an abrupt end.
Among these abruptly ended "lines", some are not deduced by "Gui Zang Deng", and some are Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin who died in the middle, so naturally there is no result.
For example, there is a "line" where Qi Xuansu was involved in the internal struggle of the ancient gods in the southern continent. Unfortunately, he died early and did not reach the stage of the internal struggle of the Taoist sect. Then "Gui Zang Deng" did not deduce that far, but only a small part. When Qi Xuansu died, it did cause a certain sensation and was awarded various titles by the Taoist sect. However, Qi Xuansu's death was like a small stone splashing in the water. It was nothing in the long history of the Taoist sect and was soon forgotten.
Xiao Yin was also quickly forgotten. He first followed Zhang Yuelu, and then Zhang Yuelu went "crazy" and was locked up by the Zhang family. Xiao Yin disappeared from then on, probably returning to the ghost country cave heaven.
There is also a "line" that Xiao Yin died halfway. Xiao Yin dreamed of another self. It was an ordinary afternoon. Xiao Yin went out to look for treasure as usual. Neither Qi Xuansu nor Zhang Yuelu thought much about it. They just thought that Xiao Yin would come back after playing outside for a few days as usual. But they never expected that Xiao Yin would never come back.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu panicked and hurried to look for her everywhere, but Xiao Yin seemed to have disappeared from this world without leaving any trace.
One day many years later, Xiao Yin suddenly came back, but she was dying. No one knew how she entered Yujing. She seemed to have come back with her last breath and the obsession of going home. After returning home, she could no longer hold on. She didn't even wait for Qi Xuansu to send her to Huashengtang. She died at that time.
In the end, Qi Xuansu took her back to the Cave Heaven of Ghost Country and buried her under the Emperor Willow.
"Gui Zang Lantern" naturally did not continue to deduce, and did not say whether Qi Xuansu became the chief teacher in the end.
Of course, there are also cases where Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin both died, which means that the story ends on the spot, and there is no subsequent short deduction.
There is a very obvious logic here, that is, at least one of Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin must be alive for this "line" to be deduced. Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin are key figures and belong to the "protagonists". As for the others, whether it is Zhang Yuelu, Qi Niang, or the three masters, their life or death has no effect and they belong to the "supporting roles".
From this, we can deduce a conclusion that there is a certain connection between Qi Xuansu, Xiao Yin, and the "Guizang Lantern".
So Qi Xuansu took out the "Guizang Lantern" and pointed it at Xiao Yin, meeting the conditions and awakening the "Guizang Lantern" that had been "pretending to sleep".
This also reminded Qi Xuansu of the last incident. When he returned to the Lingshan Cave Heaven in the past, he gathered these three elements: Qi Xuansu in seclusion, the "Guizang Lantern" placed aside, and Xiao Yin who fell asleep inexplicably while holding the "Guizang Lantern". .
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but guess, is it because Xiao Yin touched the "Gui Zang Lantern" that caused him to return to the Lingshan Cave Heaven in the past?
If this guess is true, what kind of ability does Xiao Yin have to cause such a consequence?
Qi Xuansu's first reaction is Emperor Liu.
Xiao Yin herself certainly doesn't have this ability. How can a little girl who was beaten and screamed by the monsters of Fenglinzhou have the power of an immortal. But Emperor Liu is different. Emperor Liu is even better than ordinary immortals. It is said that two ancient immortals fell because of Emperor Liu.
Before this, Qi Xuansu read some documents and materials when he was in Wanxiang Dao Palace and initially came to another conclusion.
The cave heaven, the kingdom of God, the spirit world, and the hell that have never landed are between the human world and the boundless and mysterious world. This is a special dimension. It can avoid the heavenly calamity here and is no longer in the scope of the human world. However, this is not a place to ascend, so it can still return to the human world.
Here time is confused, and space is not stable. Many things that cannot be done in the human world can be done here.
So Qi Xuansu can go back to the past.
However, there is still a question that has not been completely solved. Even if the dimension between heaven and man is very special, it takes a huge amount of power to achieve this goal. According to the estimates of the Taoist predecessors, in theory, two first-tribulation immortals need to work together.
At present, it is known that there are only three immortals, including Zi Guang Zhenjun, Wu Luo and Tianshi. This is of course very powerful, but it is still not enough to reverse time.
Qi Xuansu suspects that there are other immortals involved, and more than one.
Combining the two speculations, it may be possible to replace other immortals with the powerful Emperor Liu.
Tianshi is a quasi-first-tribulation immortal. According to the performance of the national teacher on the battlefield of Fenglinzhou, a quasi-first-tribulation immortal is at least equivalent to one and a half ordinary immortals. In addition to the professional counterpart "Gui Zang Lantern", part of Wu Luo's power, and part of the power of Zhenmojing Dongtian, it is considered a first-tribulation immortal. Zi Guang Zhenjun plus Di Liu are also considered a first-tribulation immortal, which is roughly right.
Qi Xuansu has always suspected that the Heavenly Master can remotely control the "Gui Zang Lantern" because there is a precedent. Whether Qi Xuansu encountered "Izanagi's Left Hand" or later confronted Qingwei Zhenren in Izanagi's Kingdom of God, the Heavenly Master could control the "Three Five Male and Female Swords of Killing Evil" and even influence Qi Xuansu through "Qingyun".
If the Heavenly Master can control the "Gui Zang Lantern", does it mean that Xiao Yin's secret touch of the "Gui Zang Lantern" is also within the Heavenly Master's expectations? However, considering that the Heavenly Master and Zi Guang Zhenjun are both masters who are proficient in divination and predicting the future, it is not difficult to predict this.
Qi Xuansu now has a rough outline of the speculation.
All this was planned by the Heavenly Master. Maybe the Heavenly Master saw through the Earthly Master's plan, or maybe the Heavenly Master knew some of the facts. In short, the Heavenly Master wanted to pick the fruit, so he personally promoted this matter.
Qi Xuansu actually became a pawn in the game between the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master.
However, Qi Xuansu couldn't blame the Heavenly Master, because the Heavenly Master never forced Qi Xuansu, and always went with the flow. If Qi Xuansu didn't want to find out, the Heavenly Master's plan would have nowhere to go.
After this incident, Qi Xuansu roughly understood the reason why he returned to Lingshan Dongtian.
But this also raised a new question.
Is Xiao Yin so powerful?
Qi Xuansu had known for a long time that Xiao Yin was the spirit of the Emperor Willow, but he didn't think Xiao Yin was that powerful. Although the Emperor Willow was powerful, Xiao Yin obviously couldn't exert the power of the Emperor Willow. Fighting with others was the most direct manifestation. Xiao Yin's combat power was just so-so. He had a strong body, strong self-healing ability, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and amazing appetite, and then he was gone.
Xiao Yin was different from Wu Niang. Wu Niang's body was the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan", which could be understood as the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan" becoming a spirit and forming a human. Wu Niang was not a human in essence, but an immortal, so it was difficult for immortals to kill Wu Niang. Xiao Yin's body was not the Emperor Willow, because Xiao Yin was born from the Emperor Willow. Qi Xuansu understood that Xiao Yin was the fruit of the Emperor Willow, so Xiao Yin could not be equated with the Emperor Willow. Sun Heyu certainly couldn't hurt the Emperor Willow, but he could hurt Xiao Yin, which also showed that Xiao Yin and the Emperor Willow were not one and the same.
This reminded Qi Xuansu of something Zhang Yuelu had mentioned to him.
Lin Yuanmiao, Pei Xiaolou and Ji Jiaozhen are brothers and sisters, known as the "Three Friends", and they agreed to drink and fish whales together.
Xiao Yin also wanted to join in, but the three men rejected Xiao Yin's proposal on the grounds that Xiao Yin was too young. Whale fishing is addictive. Sometimes the three of them can fish for a whole day. After being immersed in it, Lin Yuanmiao didn't care about Xiao Yin, which indirectly led to Xiao Yin sneaking out.
In the end, Lin Yuanmiao personally took action and found Xiao Yin who was playing hide-and-seek with "Tian Ting".
Zhang Yuelu asked Xiao Yin what she wanted to do. Xiao Yin said that she dreamed of another self who buried treasure in Nanyang and she went out to find treasure. Zhang Yuelu certainly didn't believe it, which led to a series of events that later sent Xiao Yin to Wanxiang Dao Palace to study.
Qi Xuansu also heard it at the time, and he didn't believe Xiao Yin's words either, thinking that it was an excuse for Xiao Yin to exonerate himself. Now it seems that this may not be an excuse, but the truth.
Just thinking about this, the light of the "Guizang Lantern" suddenly became deep, and the full-body image of Xiao Yin emerged in it.
Then
Zhuan means bamboo; Tuan means pig; pig means elephant. Seal script is the font before official script. Seal script is divided into large seal script and small seal script. Large seal script includes oracle bone script, bronze script, Zhuan script, stone drum script, etc. Small seal script is the font used by Zulong to implement the unified writing of books.
This kind of text still has certain traces of pictographic characters, and it is rarely used now. However, Wanxiang Taoist Palace has a special course, because many records within the Taoist sect are written in small seal script, even oracle bone script and bronze script, so this course is specially opened. However, with the beginning of the Taoist translation movement, the Taoist sect unified these ancient materials, compiled them into a book, and re-recorded them all in modern characters, so this ancient character course has become an elective.
Needless to say, Qi Xuansu never took this course in the past, and the layout and typesetting of the seal were special, so he made a joke in front of Yao Pei.
However, Qi Xuansu was also brave after knowing shame. After reaching a higher realm, his qualifications improved, and his learning efficiency was greatly improved. In addition, he had to know two strokes of calligraphy after his status was high, so Qi Xuansu made up for this problem again. It was not difficult to recognize seal script.
This line of seal script was asking Qi Xuansu, wanting to know Xiao Yin's origin?
Qi Xuansu thought about it seriously, and did not agree directly, but asked back: "Then, what is the price?"
Qi Xuansu's experience told him that there is no free lunch in this world. Not to mention the matter of the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", it has not been dealt with until now. There is also the revelation of Zi Guang Zhenjun, the help of Tianshi, etc., which all illustrate a fact that all gifts are secretly marked with prices. Even if this price is not collected now, it will be collected in the future, so it is better to ask in advance.
The response of "Gui Zang Deng" was also simple: "Divine power."
Qi Xuansu was not surprised. Divine power is indeed hard currency, a currency that is more advanced than Taiping money. The gods recognize that it is a strategic material for Taoism and the Holy Court. The key is that divine power has infinite plasticity.
