Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

Until the original group of elders ascended to Feisheng and passed away, Huo Bingqing's generation gradually matured and assumed the positions of elders in various palaces.At this time, Xicheng has become accustomed to the system of joint decision-making by the elders, but it is impossible for Xicheng to remain without a teacher.At that time, Mingzheng performed too well. He broke through the Nascent Soul at the age of two hundred, causing a storm in the cultivation world.In response to the theme of "New Millennium and New Atmosphere" of the All-World Cultivation Alliance, Xicheng decided to mold Mingzheng into a young and promising head teacher, in order to prove that Xicheng is still a vigorous sect of immortals, attracting more The joining of outstanding young monks.

In the past, Jiang Suxing always thought that the elders formed a small group and wanted to take the position of head teacher, but no matter what Huo Bingqing's original intentions were, he was the leader of this small group.But gradually now, Jiang Suxing felt that this might not be the case.

Huo Bingqing definitely has the ability and opportunity to be a teacher, whether it was Mingzheng back then or Jiang Suxing later.As long as he raised his arms, neither the elders nor the young disciples would object.Huo Bingqing has this strength. Although he has been an elder for so many years, he has been exercising the duty of the head teacher.Then why didn't Huo Bingqing become the teacher himself?This was something Jiang Suxing was very puzzled about.But he is not easy to ask, firstly, he is not familiar with Huo Bingqing, at least not as familiar as Yusuke; secondly, he has always been resistant to Huo Bingqing.Because Huo Bingqing had the intention of killing both Xuegou and Gu Baitang.Whether it was Huo Yan or Huo Bingqing, they both lacked tolerance, and they wanted to eradicate all oddities.This is also true.

Although Jiang Suxing admired their abilities, he couldn't fully agree with their ideas.As the saying goes, different ways do not seek each other, probably he and Huo Bingqing will never be able to understand each other.But should he start this "elder and head teacher" war, when will it start, what method will he use, and to what extent will he achieve it?He still has to think about these things.After all, his own ability is indeed immature, and there are many things he still needs to learn from Huo Bingqing.Cultivation can be achieved by entering the Yunding Sect to retreat into a strong substitute, but leadership is not something that can be achieved overnight, it needs years of accumulation and learning.Before he himself truly matures, Xicheng may still need Huo Bingqing to lead.

As soon as the meeting was over, the elders went back to their own palaces.Jiang Suxing also stood up, ready to go back to Yuding Palace.He wants to study and sort out some of Huo Bingqing's policies and methods over the years. What was said at the meeting were results and general policies, but why these policies are implemented in this way, and what aspects are specifically related to them all require Jiang Suxing Go back and study it carefully.

He is about to hold a conferring ceremony, and on that day, he doesn't want to attract visitors just because of the two gimmicks of Fuxi Tianlong and Tingyi reincarnated.So he was going to put forward some of his own views on the future direction of Xicheng on that day.This view may not be accurate enough, but it cannot be too naive or too whimsical.If he wants the elders to agree with him, he must first have a basic attitude and an account.Seriously study Huo Bingqing's policies, and on this basis, put forward some novel ideas.

According to Huo Bingqing's elimination of Nancheng monks and elimination of redundant institutions, he should be more concerned about the overall competitiveness of Xicheng, and wants to ensure that Xicheng stands at the forefront of the trend among the fairy gates where a hundred flowers are blooming.The best thing about West City is that it has the longest history, but this is also its biggest drawback.Then, in order to improve the competitiveness of Xicheng on the existing basis, it is imperative to introduce young blood...

"Teacher, stay a step."

As soon as Jiang Suxing reached the door, he heard someone calling him.He turned his head subconsciously and saw Huo Bingqing walking towards him.

"Uncle Huo." Unexpectedly, Huo Bingqing took the initiative to call him, Jiang Suxing was a little bit guilty.To be honest, he was a little afraid of Huo Bingqing.He was afraid that Huo Bingqing would trouble him because of Gu Baitang's affairs 30 years ago, and he was also afraid that the rumors he said in Brahma had already spread back to Xicheng.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, it is estimated that the entire comprehension world now knows the fact that he not only double cultivated with others, but was also abandoned by others.On the day of the conferring ceremony, many people probably came to see him making jokes. Thinking of this, Jiang Suxing felt extremely irritable.

He originally thought that this exit was a new beginning. He was no longer the little-known head of the Yuping Jiang family in decline, but the youngest head teacher in the history of Xicheng, and the first head teacher to break through the Nascent Soul stage.I don't want things to become like this now, what a joke.Jiang Suxing didn't feel it at first, but now when he thought of the upcoming conferment ceremony, he felt a little fear and loathing for no reason.

"I see you listened very seriously just now, tell me, what have you heard." Unexpectedly, Huo Bingqing didn't ask him anything else, nor did he blame him for those things 30 years ago, but Ask him what he just learned in the meeting.

Jiang Suxing was dumbfounded, and said what he had been thinking about in his head just now.

"...Although I haven't personally experienced it in the past 30 years, I have also noticed that the west city has a feeling of being left behind. These are all closely related to the policies implemented by Master Huo. Those people on Tianzhu Peak are actually just the first step in your "returning to the old and welcoming the new".It is only natural to take down the monks in Nancheng first, and then turn to the entrenched and corrupt forces that are rooted in the city. "

Huo Bingqing rarely showed a gratified smile, stroked his beard and nodded: "You can see this? Sure enough, your master saw you right."

Jiang Suxing smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm ashamed, I only realized it today. As an elder, you are truly wise and courageous if you can personally cut off the soil of the elders' interests. But..."

"You have any doubts, but it's okay to say."

Jiang Suxing thought for a while, and asked the truth: "I still don't understand, Master Yihuo, you are so talented, why don't you teach yourself? Whether it is Master Mingzheng or me, we are too young to take on the big responsibility." .And many things in between, in fact, you have always been in charge, and only you can make the decision. Instead of doing so much, why not go into battle yourself? It also saves people from misunderstanding, saying that you control the teacher and treat us as puppets. In fact, with your ability, as long as you are willing to be the head teacher, I believe that no one will object. Master and I will be convinced, why push us up?"

At this time, the two had already walked out of the Law Enforcement Palace, and came to the small stone road between the Law Enforcement Palace and the Jade Cauldron Palace, which was full of Xiangfei bamboos.Huo Bingqing probably admired Jiang Suxing's youthful and progressive attitude, and was willing to have a long talk with him.

"I didn't say these things to people. I never cared what the world thinks of me. But since you asked now, I'm willing to tell you."

Huo Bingqing raised his head and pointed to the bright pearl on the Law Enforcement Tower, "Have you seen that blue sea pearl?"

Jiang Suxing looked up at the blue sea pearl, at this moment the pearl was blooming with a blue halo, covering the entire west city in a light blue halo.

"It stands to reason that the gods and fairy worlds have all fallen one after another. The west city is located under the Jiuchongtian Palace, and it is the oldest fairy gate. In today's new world where a hundred flowers are blooming, he can still occupy the position of fairy head. Do you know why?"

"Because the west city has a long history and deep roots?" Jiang Suxing couldn't think of a better answer, so he could only say this.

Huo Bingqing said: "It's not just the Xicheng family with deep roots. The history of West Kunlun is older than ours. Why didn't they become immortal heads?"

Jiang Suxing wanted to say that the West Kunlun was covered with snow and it was so cold, except for those from the Fu family, which ordinary disciple would go to such a bitter place to practice.However, he knew that his words were too low-level, so he chose not to say anything.

Huo Bingqing said: "West Kunlun still sends their young master to our West City every year to learn from a teacher. The purpose is just to learn some methods and go back to strengthen West Kunlun. In the future, they will compete with Xicheng for the position of the head of the fairy. But throughout the ages, Xicheng has still stood firm. The reason for this is hard for the world to see. Because of the special environment in West Kunlun, only the Fu family dominates. No matter how powerful it is, it is just the private territory of their Fu family. Come to think of it, West Kunlun is at most just a famous family, not a qualified and formal sect of immortals.

This is not the case in the west city. There are 220 eight palaces in the west city, and they accept disciples from all over the world.No matter where you come from, what kind of background you have, as long as you have the ability and ability, you can be a teacher.In the history of Xicheng, Ming and Huo were the two surnames with the most teachers because of their superior innate conditions.But apart from this, there are many other examples where ordinary people finally became the head teacher through their own efforts.There are also 72 palaces in the west city. The elders and chief disciples of each palace can be obtained through their own efforts, rather than relying on a simple hereditary system.In this way, Xicheng can integrate the thoughts of hundreds of schools and gather talents from all over the world. Only in this way can it be called "the head of the fairy". "

Jiang Suxing had already arrived at the side entrance of Yuding Palace, but because he was fascinated by what Huo Bingqing said, he returned to follow, and the two of them passed the alley again, and walked back to the entrance of Law Enforcement Palace.

Disciples came and went on the altar square, and saw Elder Huo sending the head teacher back to Yuding Palace one night, the head teacher sent Elder Huo back to the Law Enforcement Palace, Elder Huo sent back, and the head teacher sent back...

The two walked around like this all night, which was enough to show the loving and filial atmosphere between the elder and the head teacher.What, it turns out that those legends were all false.It is not harmonious to say that the headmaster will start a war with the elders as soon as he returns.

"Now do you know why I didn't become the head teacher?" Huo Bingqing turned around and asked after returning to the gate of the Law Enforcement Palace.

Jiang Suxing thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Could it be that, do you think your ancestor Huo Yan ruled Xicheng for too long? Are you afraid that Xicheng will become the Huo family's private land?"

Huo Bingqing stood on the steps, looking at Jiang Suxing with meaningful eyes.He didn't answer Jiang Suxing's question, but said: "Now is the new world, and the young people will be the masters in the future. You are the leader of these young people, and there may be a bigger and broader stage waiting for you to play in the future." No matter how big Xicheng is, it is just a city, and no matter how powerful I am, I still have my limitations. For example, I may not be able to do what you dared to do 30 years ago. But it turns out that you are right. So you I have your way, and I have mine. You can not be restrained by the elders. Although it is a bit deviant, it is also a new way of thinking. I just hope you can settle down more. After all, governing the world still requires more careful and comprehensive consideration, rather than putting other people or even the dawn of the world in danger for one person alone."

The following words are talking about Jiang Suxing helping the devil's seed golden cicada out of its shell 30 years ago.Huo Bingqing didn't blame him, he just made insinuations, asking him to measure a person against the world.

Jiang Suxing saluted, "Thank you for your teaching, uncle."

Huo Bingqing said: "It's getting late, you can go. The first day of August is the official conferment ceremony. I hope you can adjust your status these few days and think about your identity and responsibilities."

Jiang Suxing walked through the alley alone, still thinking about what Huo Bingqing said along the way.How does he think he can adjust to a mature and steady state?The personal relationship between the children has been ruined, so I can't be decadent because of this, and I should focus on national affairs.He is the head teacher and the future of Xicheng. If he can't stand this setback, how dare he have any ambitions?I am even more ashamed of the origin of "Ting Ji reincarnation".

There were two lanterns hanging on the side door of the Jade Cauldron Palace, but they were extinguished for some reason. The Qingshiban road was long and silent, with towering bamboo forests on both sides, making it quite deep and silent.Jiang Suxing walked along the road alone, the road ahead became darker and darker, he vaguely saw a white figure standing in front of the door.

He felt a little puzzled in his heart, who is still standing there so late?Are the disciples of Jade Cauldron Palace waiting for him there?Why didn't he light a lantern?

"Who's there?"

Standing five or six steps away, Jiang Suxing asked.

The other party didn't answer him, so Jiang Suxing walked over, thinking that some angry disciple came here to hide.

As a result, as soon as he took two steps closer, he heard a voice as cold as a cold spring whispering: "I thought you were going to send each other off tomorrow morning."

Jiang Suxing was startled, but he was angry, so he turned around and left immediately.

Jiang Suxing was more angry than anything else, when he thought of what that person said earlier, "clearing up the grievances" and "no more ties to each other", he felt a burst of pain in his heart.

With grievances and pain all over her body, and disorganized thoughts, she finally adjusted her mentality.He decided to turn his grief into strength, and put all his thoughts on the upcoming conferment ceremony.Even though most of the jokes may come from watching him, Jiang Suxing believes that he can hold the scene and show his truest level to everyone...

But this person, since he said such heartless words, why does he still appear here now?Doesn't he know that he has become his demon, his shadow?As long as I think of him, my whole body seems to be entangled in deep despair, and I can only see the eternal darkness...Since it is absolutely impossible, let him stop thinking about it forever...Why? Will it appear again...

Still so majestic, he naturally appeared at the side door of Jade Cauldron Palace, waiting for him and questioning him.What does this mean? ...

Jiang Suxing was really upset, he didn't go back to Jade Cauldron Palace, he just walked out of the alley and passed through the altar square.He had no purpose and didn't know where he was going, so he walked up the mountain along the mountain road.

The night is dark, the altar square is flickering at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain road is long and rugged.

This ancient fairy city that has existed for millions of years can be regarded as the greatest miracle in the current cultivation world, and it is the dream palace of all monks.And he is now the headmaster of this dream palace, what an honor and pride it is.Life is not only about love.There are also magnificent mountains and rivers, and the sea is boundless.Love is certainly beautiful, but if you are heartbroken by love, tortured to the point of breaking your heart, and even describe it as haggard and depraved, then love is not a good thing.It's poison, it's disaster.

Perhaps, Gu Baitang was really his catastrophe.In his last life, he did not go through this catastrophe. He failed Gu Baitang, so the heavens punished him.Even though he is successful and famous, he always misses Gu Baitang faintly in his heart.This longing is not very strong and does not affect his career, but it can put him to death at a critical moment and make him disappear.

In this life, he faced difficulties and wanted to stay together with Gu Baitang.They did have a sweet and dizzying love entanglement, but God's will tricks people, Gu Baitang was entangled by the devil's seed, and he turned out to be the reincarnation of the ruthless and desireless Mieshi Tianzun.Jiang Suxing didn't care too much about the legend that he had listened to the ghost's entry into the world. Unlike Xu Xutianzun who was reincarnated after a calamity, once he broke through the catastrophe and returned to his rightful position, he would still be Xu Xu Tianzun himself.But Ting Zan is a hard-fought soul, his soul scattered, reincarnated in various worlds, experienced countless lives, even if he finally returned to the Jiang family, his soul was inherited by the Jiang family's descendants.Jiang Suxing is just the biggest and strongest Ting Ji soul, but this does not mean that he is Ting Ji himself.So although many people regard him as Prince Tingyi himself, this is actually not correct.Jiang Suxing is just Jiang Suxing, he is completely different from Ting Ji.

But even so, the illusory Tianzun and Ting Ji are completely opposite camps.In a sense, Xuxu Tianzun is the great enemy who killed Ting Ji's family and destroyed his home.

Jiang Suxing didn't know whether the gods would remember these father-killing vengeances so clearly like ordinary people, and he didn't know what kind of person Ting Yi was, what Ting Yan thought of the Void Heavenly Venerable, whether he would hate him, whether he would Want to seek revenge on him?

So now, Jiang Suxing's heart is actually very complicated for this illusory deity.This is no longer simply a matter between him and Gu Baitang, but a matter between him, Gu Baitang, Ting Ji, and Xuxu Tianzun.This also involves the war in the Middle Ages, the entanglement of grievances, love and hatred 1 years ago...

Jiang Suxing climbed up the mountain all the way, trying to let the gentle brilliance of the blue sea pearl soothe his fluctuating mood.During this process, he also had a few moments where he worried that that person had left.But he didn't want to return to Jade Cauldron Palace in such a messy mood, and he didn't want to face that person by himself in such a mess.Such a weak self, such a wronged self...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Suxing came to an old courtyard.It is not as grand and grand as other palaces, it is just an ordinary courtyard, quietly located on the mountainside.But in such a remote place as Xicheng, I don't know where to go?

The courtyard was dense, and there was a faint light inside, but there was no human voice.

Jiang Suxing yelled a few times, but no one came to answer him. What responded to him was still the deep night and the faint candlelight.So he stepped into the yard lightly, like a child exploring.There is a strange power in this yard. When a person is in it, he will feel a powerful force in his heart, which can smooth his fluctuating heartbeat and wipe away those painful troubles and grievances.

He stood in the yard and looked up at the plaque. Under the light blue halo of the blue sea pearl, he could clearly see the words "Zen Xindian".

Jiang Suxing narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew where it was.

Zen Heart Hall is the oldest palace in Xicheng, and it is also the residence of Qiu Huayu, one of the founders of Xicheng.The West City was built after the end of the ancient times and the beginning of the middle ages.At that time, the God Realm and Immortal Realm were still very prosperous.Emperor Nanyue has seven disciples, the eldest disciple is Qiu Huayu, and the other two disciples are Huo Bing and Ming Yuan, who are the ancestors of the current Huo family and Ming family.

After Qiu Huayu cultivated into the body of an immortal god, she handed over the position of head teacher to Ming Yuan, while she retreated to the second line and cultivated herself in the Zen Heart Hall.Later, he took in a female apprentice named Gu Qingying, and the master and apprentice had a legendary and peerless love.Later, the female apprentice Gu Qingying turned out to be the reincarnation of the ancient mythical beast Xuanwu, and Qiu Huayu herself turned out to be the ancient mythical beast Qinglong.

The master-student relationship turned into a brother-sister relationship, which made the four ancient beasts that had disappeared at that time once again leap into the sight of the Six Realms.Of course, the four ancient mythical beasts are all strange, except for the brother and sister of Qinglong Xuanwu, the third son Suzaku is even more powerful, and he only loves to eat the hearts of heartbroken men, because he himself was broken by heartbroken men .What's even more bizarre is that Suzaku later had a sadomasochistic relationship with Qinglong Xuanwu's son Cang Xuan.But Cangxuan later married the Nine Princesses of the Heaven Realm, Ting Ji's younger sister, the golden dragon who is now atoning in Beihai.

On the day Cangxuan and the Ninth Princess got married, Suzaku got drunk in the Qiong Forest of Taishang Laojun, and remained drunk there for 300 years.He happened to fall under an old Qiong tree, and the old Qiong tree was quite spiritual, and secretly stretched out its small branches, absorbing the divine power of the Suzaku God...

It is the later illusory Tianzun.

……

Relationships are really complicated, right?Jiang Suxing's head also hurt.Especially when he thinks that he is Ting Zan to some extent, and now Ting Zan has this kind of relationship with Xu Xu Tianzun again, it is really embarrassing to death.

But no matter what, after the Great War in the Middle Ages, the gods were buried in the sky and fell, and all the ancient gods and beasts returned to the Outer Nine Heavens.There is no fairy world anymore in this world.

And this Zen Heart Palace has already been idle for tens of thousands of years.But all the facilities in the hall are still the same, and there are special personnel to check them regularly every month, and there will be a major maintenance every other Jiazi.So here, it doesn't feel desolate, but has an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Jiang Suxing stepped up the steps, and smelled a faint scent of agarwood, mixed with ancient sawdust, an ancient and distant breath enveloped him.

The main hall is filled with palace lanterns with unique shapes. These are called "eternal lanterns", and the longest ones can be changed every 60 years.Seeing that the oil wick in the palace lantern is almost exhausted, if Jiang Suxing's guess is correct, no one has been here for 60 years.

Years go on forever, time flies like a shuttle, and the time flies by.Tens of thousands of years have passed by, and the world is already a different scene.And this Zen Heart Hall still stands here, silently witnessing countless histories.

Compared with the long time in the world, all the ancient gods and beasts and medieval gods are fleeting, let alone Jiang Suxing at this moment?If it is said that the gods are still a star, Jiang Suxing is like a gravel, so small that it can be ignored.

While Jiang Suxing was lamenting the vastness of the world and his own insignificance, he suddenly heard a sound from the side hall outside.He immediately turned around and went out, and came to the side hall, where he saw a paper door, and there seemed to be a shadowy figure inside.

This gave Jiang Suxing a strange mood, as if he had just traveled in time.He originally thought that the universe was prehistoric and the world was desolate, but unexpectedly found that there was a person here with him.Suddenly there was a little comfort in loneliness.

Is it the owner here?Or the disciple who came to change the cleaning and changing the wick?

Anyone is good, it is better than letting him walk alone in this ancient time.Perhaps because Ting Ji's soul was imprisoned in the Fuxi formation for tens of thousands of years, Jiang Suxing was very afraid of darkness and loneliness in his bones. He was afraid of the vastness of the world, whether he was running or crawling, he was the only one alone.

Jiang Suxing came to the paper door. Although he felt that it was not good to do so, he couldn't help being curious, and stretched out his hand to slowly open the paper door...

A slender figure was facing away from him, putting a new oil wick into the lamp in front of him.The side hall is very quiet, there is not even the sound of the wind, but the halo and warmth of the candle can be felt.

It turned out to be changing the wick.

Jiang Suxing thought so, and then took a careful look at the disciple who changed the palace lantern.

The man was dressed in white, with wide sleeves and skirt-like sleeves.The figure is tall and tall, the back is cold and straight, like a flower of a high mountain thousands of miles away from the mortal world.

Just standing there like that, twisting a small wick with his slender hands, his whole body exudes a mysterious and cold aura.

Standing tall and tall, reflecting the old wooden walls and the faint light of the long-burning lamp, it is like an ancient picture scroll.Even the folds of the clothes are full of artistic atmosphere, which is extremely fascinating.

Don't look at the face, just look at his back, you can conclude that this person must have a peerless elegance that is unmatched by thousands of people.

Jiang Suxing was fascinated by it, he took it for granted that such a person should have long and smooth hair, preferably the kind that sweeps the floor.It would be even better if it was silver hair, somewhat similar to Xuegou's, but this person's back is much more domineering and charming than Xuegou, so he should be even more beautiful than Xuegou.

I don't want Jiang Suxing to slowly move his gaze upwards, only to see in the end...

A bald head.
