#746 - Clearing the fog, falling into the quagmire
“You should leave first, I want to be alone for a while.”
After a long while, Wei Changtian softly said these words, looking at Xu Sui Sui who was still in a daze.
The former opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything, just got up and silently walked out of the room.
The door opened and closed, leaving only Wei Changtian in the room, along with the shattered pieces of porcelain scattered all over the floor.
To be fair, his visit to Xu Sui Sui this time did achieve its purpose.
He not only figured out that Chu Xianping's rebellion had nothing to do with Xu Sui Sui, but also figured out the former's motives along the way.
Although there were still some small details that hadn't been straightened out, Wei Changtian believed that his analysis was correct in the big picture.
《Martial Arts Great Pinnacle》, the book Xu Sui Sui was reading, and what was happening in reality...
It was like three parallel universes that sometimes ran parallel and sometimes intersected. When transmigrating into a book and being transmigrated into a book happened at the same time, when such a rare event happened to him, Wei Changtian only felt that every decision he made was extremely difficult.
Now, he had finally found a viable path in such a maze.
But what about the future?
What would he encounter?
Even the path under his feet, Wei Changtian was not sure was absolutely correct.
“Sigh”
Sighing, he bent down and lifted up the Eight Immortals table that he had just overturned.
Just now was the second time he had gotten so angry, and the last time was when Li Wutong insisted on going to find Ning Yongnian.
But now, looking back, the development of things to this point cannot be entirely blamed on Xu Sui Sui.
In other words, she could be considered unintentional, or doing a good deed that turned out badly.
After all, "fate" is the most elusive thing, who can know what consequences one's actions will lead to in the future?
Stepping out with the left foot first resulted in a car accident for another unrelated person.
Pressing the elevator button with the right hand resulted in a company going bankrupt a few months later.
It's like a butterfly flapping its wings, how could it have imagined that it would cause a hurricane.
This kind of cause-and-effect relationship seems absurd, but it is indeed absurd.
But everyone is indeed in this absurd world, with countless causes and effects entangled on their bodies.
Can you imagine that your college entrance examination score not only depends on your IQ and effort, but also on your family conditions, your height, weight, appearance, and even whether the egg pancake sold at the entrance of your school is delicious?
Obviously, no one would think so.
Therefore, no one will notice these extremely subtle causal connections.
At least, for those completely "native" people in this world, they don't have to consider whether they are in a "book world" or a "book within a book world".
They only need to follow the most basic logic of behavior and then live out their lives...
Wait.
Looking at the slightly swaying candlelight in the corner, Wei Changtian suddenly froze.
Because he suddenly realized that he seemed to have entered a cognitive misunderstanding.
Why bother to get an impeccable chain of logic?
He could obviously choose to face all this like an ordinary person.
Meet soldiers with generals, water with earth.
If Xin Feng is in crisis, then solve the siege of Fengyuan.
If Lu Hongji gets the Moon Picking Sword, then take it back.
If Chu Xianping wants to control Kui Long, then disrupt his plan.
As for why Xin Feng has fallen to this point, how Lu Hongji got the Moon Picking Sword manual, how big Chu Xianping's ambition is...
These questions may be important, but they should never be the constraints that make him dilemma!
And his and Xu Sui Sui's "clairvoyance" ability should also be his help in acting, not an obstacle!
“...”
As if parting the clouds and seeing the clear sky, at this moment, Wei Changtian's heart suddenly cleared.
“Creak~”
Tidying up his sleeves, he pushed the door open and walked out of the room with a smile.
His completely different appearance made Xu Sui Sui, who had been waiting outside the door, stunned.
“What's wrong with you...”
The latter blinked her eyes somewhat blankly and asked in a low voice, “Did you guess something else just now?”
“I didn’t guess anything.”
Wei Changtian stretched his back and shook his head: “But I have figured out some things.”
“Figured out some things?”
Xu Sui Sui became even more confused when she heard this. Just as she was about to ask again, she was interrupted by Wei Changtian:
“How long can Fengyuan hold on now?”
“Ah?”
The topic changed so quickly that Xu Sui Sui didn't react for a moment.
She was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses and opened her mouth to answer.
But just at this moment...
“Boom!!!!!”
A deafening roar suddenly rang out, instantly drowning out all the sounds of battle in the distance, and even the ground where the two stood began to tremble slightly.
“Hmm?”
Wei Changtian's eyes changed, and he drew out the Longquan Sword with a "swoosh" and suddenly looked up.
He saw six golden pillars of light appearing in the dark night sky.
These six pillars of light were extremely thick and bright, surging up into the sky from six directions of Fengyuan City, and finally converging in one place, as if a sun had risen in the deep night.
But obviously, this was not the sun.
Holding the sword and looking up blankly, Wei Changtian's expression gradually became astonished.
Because he saw that the huge golden halo was slowly spreading, eventually turning into a ring of Buddha light.
And in front of this golden light that could compete with the sun, there was an incredibly large likeness of the Tathagata...
The Dharma is like a lamp, instantly a myriad of lamps.
The huge phantom of the Tathagata, at least a hundred feet tall, cast down a myriad of golden rays, faintly enveloping the entire Fengyuan City, instantly dispelling all the evil cold in the city.
Clouds move, wind moves, and the sky also moves. When the Buddha is present, all things are not chaotic.
The Buddhist school has ten supreme supernatural powers, this is the seventh —
The Heavenly Buddha Descends to the World.
“Chieftain, the situation in Fengyuan City has changed just now...”
Half an hour later, in the main hall of Kui Long's third branch.
In a stone room lit with faint candlelight, a woman dressed in a black dress with an expression as cold as frost whispered a few words in Lu Hongji's ear, and then silently retreated.
Judging from the aura revealed by this woman, her cultivation should have reached the third rank.
However, the feeling she gave people was much more dangerous than ordinary third-rank martial artists, and it was unknown why.
“...”
Watching the woman walk out of the room, Chu Xianping narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
On the other side, Lu Hongji immediately noticed his strangeness and suddenly asked with a smile:
“Brother Xianping, what's wrong?”
“Her name is Nangong Ping. Don't look at her low cultivation, but she does things flawlessly.”
“What? Are you interested in her?”
“Hahahaha, this is easy to say, I can make the decision...”
“...”
Laughter echoed in the stone room, but Chu Xianping's expression did not change at all.
He just sat there silently, waiting until Lu Hongji finished laughing before slowly uttering three words.
“Moon Picking Sword?”
“...”
His figure stagnated, and the smile on Lu Hongji's face gradually faded.
“Brother Xianping has good eyesight.”
“It is indeed the Moon Picking Sword.”
