Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 174 Meeting the Seniors (2-in-1)

Si Tianjian was kneeling down below and said with a trembling voice: "If you peek into the secrets of heaven, you will be watched by heaven. I am afraid this matter will not be solved..."

Emperor Daqi was silent for a long time, looking outside the study, as if he saw Daqi's current prosperity, and said:

"Destiny is such that Daqi cannot escape this disaster."

He stood up slowly, his rickety figure gradually straightened up. He was clearly not tall, but he seemed to be standing tall against the sky!

An emperor's aura as thick as a mountain suddenly erupted, covering the entire imperial city.

Countless palace people immediately knelt down in the direction of the palace hall, and the practitioners also saluted in this direction in awe.

In Sitian Prison, the star officer who was originally crazy, talking nonsense, and dancing suddenly became quiet at this moment, and knelt down tremblingly.

Emperor Daqi stood with his hands behind his hands and said in a deep voice:

"But I can try my best to protect the people of Daqi and let most of them survive..."

He reached out and touched the sky, and a golden light flashed across the sky, and then calmness returned.

There may not seem to be any difference, but if there is any strange phenomenon in the sky and someone looks up again, they will not see anything different, but will simply skip it.

The emperor took action and already concealed the secret!

The emperor of Daqi actually has a Second Grade Daoan realm cultivation level, and he is a real Saint!

The Daqi Dynasty is the last country left over from the ancient era of nations. It is also the only huge country that does not rely on sects and stands in the central region.

The emperor himself was the top practitioner.

Without relying on national luck, he still suppresses many sects!

"Daqi is lucky to have His Majesty!"

The supervisor knelt down again and said, "I have just vaguely observed that the crack in the sky may have been torn open by man, and it is located in a small village in the south. Do you want to send someone to investigate?"

He worriedly said: "If someone deliberately uses this to subvert our government...such vicious people must not be allowed to stay!"

Emperor Daqi pondered: "Can I meet him?"

"Yes!" Jian Zheng took out an astrolabe, muttered something in his mouth, and moved it a few times. Suddenly, a phantom appeared on the astrolabe.

The scene in this shadow was clearly the thatched house where Chen Kuang and Xi Mengquan were.

It can be seen that the two of them are sitting and standing at the same time, and it is Chen Kuang who is coaching Xi Mengquan and Lin Qin.

The prison officer pointed at Chen Kuang and said sternly: "It is this person who caused the disaster!"

But then, when he took a closer look, he was suddenly stunned, because Chen Kuang's cultivation level was...only Sea Opening Realm!

This...is this too low? !

Jian Zheng looked down at the astrolabe in his hand and began to wonder if he had made a mistake.

How can a Sea Opening Realm achieve the act of Opening Heaven? !

Could it be that Tianji was blocked and misled him into looking in the wrong place?

Jian Zheng couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor seemed to know what he wanted to say. He looked at Chen Kuang on the screen, shook his head and said:

"He doesn't belong here."

"Now we know that you, me, and the world are all puppets with strings tied to them. If destiny wants him to come, he is destined to destroy me, Daqi... I can't blame him."

"Not now, but one day, we will see that scene."

Jian Zheng was silent.

Because Si Tianjian is currently studying a dome formation, trying to use the Celestial Phenomenon to calculate the fate of Daqi in the next year and get a glimpse of the future.

If the research is successful, they may actually be able to see this crack in the sky.

The emperor smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, just go ahead."

Jian Zheng saluted and stood up: "Yes."

After he left, the emperor said: "Yang Xiuxian."

A skinny old eunuch who had been waiting at the door turned around and walked in: "My servant is here."

Emperor Daqi took out a thumb-sized seal from his sleeve, with only the character "岐" on it, and handed it out.

"Take it."

The old eunuch was shocked: "Your Majesty! This is absolutely impossible!"

This seal is not the national seal, but the private seal of the royal family. It comes from the ancestors of the Daqi royal family in ancient times and represents the development and inheritance of Daqi.

This ancestor's name contains the word "岐".

For Daqi, whose royal family's strength is paramount, the significance of this seal is far greater than the national seal!

The emperor smiled, but there was no room for rejection in his words: "I have watched you grow up, and you are the person I trust most."

"From today on, you can resign and return to your hometown to retire with it."

"When the time is right, go and give this seal to that person."

The old eunuch took it carefully and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor waved his hand, and the old eunuch suppressed the grief in his heart and stepped back step by step in front of the emperor. Then he knelt down outside the study and kowtowed three times before leaving.

Emperor Daqi looked at his back and murmured:

"Saint's life span is still 3,000 years, but the life span of this world is less than 3,000 years. I once thought that my feeling was wrong... I hope this move can allow me to continue my great discord."

…

Chen Kuang lived in seclusion in this small village where no one lived, and gradually learned about Xi Mengquan's current situation.

The village was almost deserted a few years ago, with only a few families left.

Except for Xi Mengquan, the other households are all occupied by elderly people in their fifties and sixties. Therefore, most of the entire village is overgrown with weeds, and the fields are uncultivated.

Xi Mengquan was abandoned at the gate of this village since he was a child and was raised by several old people together.

But unfortunately, there is no popular plot where these old people are not ordinary people.

These old people are just ordinary people.

The thatched house where Xi Mengquan lives is the home of one of the old people, and the old musician who first taught him how to play the piano passed away last year.

After Xi Mengquan was ten years old, he learned to go to the city with a caravan that came and went to sell some herbs grown by the old man, which supported the livelihood of the entire village.

It was also during this time that he witnessed how the sect disciples in the city treated ordinary people, and gave up the idea of ​​joining the sect.

Chen Kuang asked curiously: "Then how did you start practicing?"

Xi Mengquan said: "From the first time I touched the strings and plucked the first sound, spiritual energy naturally gathered and I understood how to practice."

Chen Kuang: "..."

Excuse me, farewell.

He originally thought that he had a plug-in and was already a hero among geniuses, but he didn't expect that there were still masters.

He still needs to activate the "Embryonic Breathing Technique" passive, plus a Huo Hengxuan Grandmaster to guide him, before he can officially start the path of cultivation.

It's better for Xi Mengquan, he doesn't need anyone to teach him, he just practices automatically.

Is this the beginning of Saint?

Sure enough, he was so much faster than others.

Chen Kuang was speechless for a moment and continued to teach Xi Mengquan the knowledge that originally belonged to him.

After Opening Heaven cleared that day, Chen Kuang asked Xi Mengquan not to tell anyone about the incident, and to live in the village as if it had never happened.

Regarding other elderly people in the village, Chen Kuang lied that he was a teacher and stayed in the village to teach Xi Mengquan because he cherished talents.

The old people were particularly enthusiastic and brought a lot of fruits and vegetables every day, praising Xi Mengquan’s sensibility and talent to Chen Kuang.

Although Chen Kuang's status bar is still silent.

But it was rare for me to truly relax and feel so comfortable that I didn’t even want to move.

However, he knew that this was only a temporary measure. Even if he was really in another timeline, he would not be able to wait for two thousand years. Such a long time would be enough for too many changes to occur.

Even enough to erase someone directly.

It's a pity that after that day, Chen Kuang never succeeded in cutting through space with the "Sword of the Sky".

He didn't dare to try again in the sky...

However, at the same time, during this boring review day after day, Chen Kuang's understanding of the "five tones" became more and more profound.

As spring goes and autumn comes, five years have passed.

…

It's drizzling outside.

Xi Mengquan sat under the eaves as usual, crossing his legs in front of the coffee table, calmly making tea for himself.

He is now eighteen years old and looks like a young man.

It's just that her appearance is opposite and much plainer. She doesn't have the look of a boy or girl in earlier years, but she can still be called handsome.

In the past five years, he has learned how to use the sound of the piano to attract animals, and found a group of deer in the mountains near the village.

By harvesting deer antlers, Xi Mengquan made a lot of money, repaired the small village, built a compound, and raised the old people.

Of course, such a move naturally attracted a group of unscrupulous people.

A few years ago, when Xi Mengquan's cultivation was not enough, it was Chen Kuang who took action to solve the problem. Of course, before solving the problem, he would have preferred to see Xi Mengquan's embarrassment after being beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and then he finally rescued people.

Let you calculate!

Chen Kuang's days of gloating over his misfortunes did not last long. In the second year, Xi Mengquan advanced to Innate, and ordinary gangsters could no longer do anything to him.

But Chen Kuang soon found new joy.

He just wanders around and often "offends" practitioners for various strange reasons.

At first, it was Independent Cultivator, and later, it was some martial arts sects!

And he must leave his name and origin - Xi Mengquan, a person from Heyun Village in the western suburbs.

Xi Mengquan was inexplicably forced to accept all kinds of strange strangers coming to seek revenge.

The culprit, however, was eating melon seeds nearby and watching the fun, wanting to clap his hands and applaud... Xi Mengquan's teeth were itching with hatred, but he couldn't beat this intruder.

Xi Mengquan couldn't see through Chen Kuang's cultivation.

On the surface, Chen Kuang's cultivation level has reached the Moon-Embracing Realm four years ago. His movements and movements are in line with the principles of heaven and earth, and can resonate with all living things.

But Xi Mengquan still can't see his upper limit.

Once, someone finally discovered that Chen Kuang was just using the name of Xi Mengquan to cause trouble in an attempt to catch the real owner.

The other party almost dispatched the entire sect and even invited a Grandmaster.

But Chen Kuang just let the other party make a move, and the other party actually chose to admit defeat and left in despair!

Xi Mengquan put down the teapot and looked up at the figure in white sitting on the roof opposite and playing the piano in the rain.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

But the rain around the figure in white automatically avoided him, but there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on his body.

Xi Mengquan intuitively felt that if the current Chen Kuang was willing, he should be able to directly advance to the Grandmaster realm.

But for some reason, Chen Kuang didn't do that. Instead, he seemed to deliberately stay in the Moon Holding Realm.

Chen Kuang sat on the roof, closing his eyes and playing the guqin in his hand.

But if you look closely, you will find that the xylophone he placed on his lap has no strings at all.

This piano is a real Guqin he bought a while ago.

It has a history of nearly a thousand years, and the material used is also top-notch wood. It should be of high value, but this piano has a fatal flaw, that is, it has no strings.

It is said that after the war, all the strings of the instrument were cut off, and without the matching original strings, if the descendants continued to replace it, it would just be a piece of cake. In addition, the original owner's family was in ruins and he was eager to sell it. The final transaction price was only One hundred taels of gold.

After Chen Kuang bought the piano, he did not restore it.

In fact, he just fell in love with the fact that the piano had no strings.

...I definitely don’t want Xi Mengquan to empty out his family fortune, ahem, absolutely not.

At this moment, the piano in Chen Kuang's hand still had no strings, but every time he played, the sound of the piano came out from his fingertips, and invisible fluctuations spread with a mysterious meaning.

But at this moment, the music score played by Chen Kuang only has three notes: Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, which can make sounds.

The remaining two tones were silent.

As a result, the music he plays now is completely out of tune, like the result of a child plucking the strings randomly. It can even be evaluated as "dumb and hard to listen to".

Every time Chen Kuang plays, the corresponding characters will dimly light up in his palm, but only the character "yu" is stable, while the light of "horn" and "heng" is relatively weak and intermittent.

This is what he has achieved in the past five years.

Starting from the character "Yu", Chen Kuang originally wanted to teach Xi Mengquan first and then let him understand it on his own, so that he could learn from it more easily.

Who knows... the character "yu" is too profound for Xi Mengquan at this moment.

He knows absolutely nothing!

Chen Kuang was also helpless and could only teach Xi Mengquan while thinking about it on his own.

As a result, after five years, he directly integrated all the music theory taught by Xi Mengquan back then, and deduced "jiao" and "zheng" from the character "yu".

Chen Kuang began to doubt that he would be able to collect all the five tones in another two years.

This Xi Mengquan is really useless!

He still has to rely on himself!

Chen Kuang sighed.

Over the years, his understanding of the way of "time and space" has also improved to a higher level. He feels that if he asks the world now and chooses to use "time and space" as his way, then he can be promoted to Grandmaster immediately.

However, Chen Kuang was not willing to do this.

Moreover, whenever he has such an idea, it will even trigger a "whim".

Vaguely, he felt that if he really took "time and space" as his guide and climbed all the way up, something extremely dangerous would happen.

Combined with what he saw through the sky mark before, Chen Kuang felt that it was best not to act rashly.

After a long time, Chen Kuang suddenly heard the sound of construction work and stopped what he was doing.

He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. It was a Taoist temple under construction on the mountainside.

Xi Mengquan explained quietly: "A few days ago, in order to get the one hundred taels of gold you needed to buy the piano, I sold the hilltop."

The land deeds near this village are all owned by Xi Mengquan, including the hill.

Chen Kuang pretended not to hear his secret criticism and asked, "Did you sell it to practitioners?"

Xi Mengquan nodded: "I saw that the person opposite me was clean and he was an Independent Cultivator with a peaceful mind, so I agreed."

Chen Kuang is not surprised.

Although this place looks remote, for Chen Kuang, who has the Divine Ability of Mountain and River Map, the scene in front of him is quite different.

Not far from the top of the mountain, there is a small dragon vein where spiritual energy gathers, making it a very suitable place for spiritual cultivation.

It's not surprising that some people take a fancy to it.

Chen Kuang acquiesced and was still immersed in his enlightenment career, playing the piano every day.

However, within a few days, the other party came to the door.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Three knocks on the door, unhurried.

Seeing that no one was paying attention in the room, the Taoist nun wearing a white gauze hat at the door hesitated for a moment, then Rourou said:

"Is the master of the house here? I have been listening to the music of the piano for many days. If I have some enlightenment and longing for it, I wonder if I can sit down with you and discuss the Tao?"

Chen Kuang stopped playing, exited from that mysterious state, and looked down from the roof towards the door.

The breeze blew by, blowing the white gauze on the Taoist nun's bamboo hat, revealing a beautiful face.

This Taoist nun is about thirty years old, with black hair and snow-skinned skin. She has a sword at her waist and a whisk in her hand. She is wearing a fluttering feather coat that flutters in the wind. The soft fabric sticks to her body and outlines her graceful curves.

Her face is as charming as a fox fairy, but her eyes are pure and serious, and she is clearly a serious cultivator.

However, his cultivation level is a bit low, he is only at the first level of climbing the stairs, and his aura is unstable, so he must have just broken through.

It can still be vaguely seen that she is actually a little worried under her serious expression.

Chen Kuang had never seen her appearance before, but she had a good attitude and was a rare beauty, so he said calmly:

"If you want to visit, you have to give your name first."

The Taoist nun's eyes were filled with joy and she bowed her head and said:

"Independent Cultivator Lu Zhexuan, Taoist name Qing Pingzi, I have met my senior."
