Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

"Zuo'er will be almost 28 this year, right? How long has it been since you came to the Xuanqing Mountain School?"

Zhu Hongyan was seated on the floor in front of the low table, with good tea still in front of her, but today she was not in such a good mood to play with the tea ceremony leisurely.

"The disciple entered the teacher's school at the age of nine, and this year is No. 18." Qi Zuo said.

"Then do you remember how long you have been under my sect?"

"The disciple entered Taoism twelve years ago. The next year, the master took over as the head of the sect. He accepted me as a personal disciple. It has been 14 years."

"I don't have many disciples under my sect. Your elder brother was picked up by me from outside, and Yu'er is the orphan of my elder brother. Only you and Shujian were the only ones who were really selected as apprentices from among the disciples."

"It is the greatest honor of a disciple in this life to be selected by the master as a disciple."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongyan's eyes flickered indistinctly, and asked, "Then do you know why I chose you back then?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

"It's because of your Transcendence physique."

"Du Ling?"

"All the previous leaders of my sect have the physique of crossing spirits."

Qi Zuo immediately heard the implication of Zhu Hongyan's words, and hurriedly said: "Master is an upright man, why bother to mention the passing of the throne too early."

"The previous head biography was in No. 14 when I was in office." Zhu Hongyan avoided talking about this matter, and asked instead, "Do you know how the land of the Central Plains has stabilized?"

Qi Zuo didn't understand why he suddenly turned to this topic, so he replied as usual: "Beiyan annexed South Vietnam to unify the Central Plains, ending years of war and chaos in the world. Xianmen will also wipe out the evil cultivators who took advantage of the chaos, and after the massacre of the city Only by setting up a magic circle on the ground can the turmoil be quelled."

Zhu Hongyan said: "Actually, the disaster did not end with the completion of the magic circle."

Qi Yu slightly frowned suspiciously.

Zhu Hongyan said: "Everything a person does in his life will be transformed into a person's blessings or evil rewards in the dark. When the Yan conquered Yue, the massacre of the city was too heavy. The founding of the country did not take long. The whole family of the Chunyu clan of the Yan royal family suffered from an unknown curse. The young and middle-aged were all seriously ill, and most of the children died young. The previous two monarchs died suddenly one after another. Most of them withered."

Qi Zuo was puzzled and said, "I have heard about this before, but isn't it just a rumor among the people? In fact, when Dayan conquered Yue, except for the three cities bordering Xirong, the rest of the casualties belonged to the war. The normal death is not considered a murder. The massacre of the city was driven by evil cultivators behind the scenes, and it was not directly ordered by the monarch of Beiyan. It stands to reason that it would not be retribution to the royal family. Moreover, Dayan was built on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. If the royal family declines in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the world that has finally stabilized will soon be in chaos again due to power struggles within the ruling class. My disciples see that the royal family of Dayan and Chunyu are strong and strong today, and they don't look like they are plagued by evil retribution .”

Zhu Hongyan explained: "The reason behind it was indeed only fabricated by the Nanyue people out of hatred after the annihilation of the country, but what happened to the Chunyu clan is indeed a fact. The reason why the royal family can be so prosperous today is only because someone stood up and wiped out the evil consequences. It's just memorized."

Qi Zuo looked at Zhu Hongyan silently, expressing that he was listening carefully.

Zhu Hongyan said: "At that time, the entire Chunyu clan was shrouded in a shadow, with the exception of one person, who was the third monarch of Dayan, Chunyu Shuo. The life of the famous Youxian Baiyucheng in both worlds got a piece of his spirit-protecting jade, and because of the protection of this piece of spirit-protecting jade and his own good fortune accumulated over the years, he survived the curse safely. Therefore After he realized that this matter was not done by humans, he immediately went to Bai Yucheng for help."

Qi Zuo asked: "Did Bai Yucheng bear the evil fruit for Chunyu?"

Zhu Hongyan seemed to nod helplessly, and said: "The principle of the Immortal Sect has always been that you should not interfere with the affairs of the world. Chunyu's royal family will have such an end. It is the result of the cycle of cause and effect. In accordance with the law of heaven, he should not have interfered in this matter. But the favor of saving lives has to be repaid secondly. The important thing is that this battle is a great loss of vitality for both the immortal sect and the mortals. Nei couldn't stand the next war anymore, so he personally borne the consequences for Chunyu's royal family and extradited all the curses to himself."

Qi Zuo couldn't help sighing: "Bai Yucheng is also a man of great righteousness, and he has successfully won for Dayan's stability for decades with his own efforts. However, since the curse of Chunyu's royal family is not a bad retribution, why is that?"

Zhu Hongyan asked: "Zuer, do you still remember where all the resentment comes from?"

Qi Zuo said: "The damage is caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters."

Zhu Hongyan asked again: "What is the reason for the heaviest resentment?"

Qi Zuo replied: "The resentment of the creatures who died due to man-made disasters is the heaviest, followed by natural disasters."

Zhu Hongyan added: "Man-made disasters can also be divided into karma and unexpected disasters. The undead who died due to unreasonable disasters are the most vicious, and most of them will become resentful spirits. They are the most difficult to deal with, and the people who are implicated to death because of wars for no reason belong to this category. .”

Zhu Hongyan took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then said: "The Central Plains has been in turmoil for so many years, and there are frequent frictions between neighboring countries, and wars of all sizes are frequent. As long as there is war, it is inevitable that a large number of people will die at the same time. There are also a lot of people, but most of them are within a reasonable range. Most of them are soldiers who died normally in the war. Usually, they don’t generate much resentment. After the war subsides, they will disperse automatically within a few years. This kind of inhumane thing has never happened before, and Xianmen has no experience in dealing with grievances of this scale."

Hearing this, Qi Zuo roughly understood what Zhu Hongyan wanted to convey, and asked hesitantly, "Could it be that the resentment has not been completely suppressed?"

Zhu Hongyan nodded and said: "The deaths in the three cities were all innocent people who were implicated in the war. The dead souls who died in vain had the deepest resentment. At that time, many monks almost died in battle to suppress the resentment. But in the past, there was no After dealing with grievances of this scale, everyone thought that the calm on the surface meant that the suppression was successful. Unexpectedly, the grievances of hundreds of thousands of dead souls were too deep. It has descended on the royal family of Beiyan."

Qi Zuo was startled and said: "Then Baiyu City is equivalent to taking the grievances of hundreds of thousands of dead souls with one person's power?!"

Zhu Hongyan said in a deep voice: "It was only after he accepted the curse that he realized that it was not a simple curse."

Qi Zuo said worriedly: "To undo the curse, one must either get rid of the person who cast the curse, or use stronger spells to break it. In this case, the curse cannot be undone at all."

Zhu Hongyan said: "That's right, so Baiyu City can only bear it by itself. But the source of resentment is the hundreds of thousands of resentful souls who died in the massacre of the city, and it can only be borne by one person. Got it. Besides, although Bai Yucheng is powerful, but he is still young, and he has not even reached the threshold of the transformation realm at that time. You can go back to the teacher's door for help."
