The Path Toward Heaven

Jing Jiu stood in front of the window, holding a cup of tea, looking at the black eaves of Taichang Temple looming in the distance, and remained silent.

The tea in the cup was already cold.

He has no love for tea, he just tries to hold it like an ordinary person, trying to help himself understand those ordinary people in this way.

He was thinking about Suigetsuan's confession and what the girl said before he left.

In the end, he still didn't understand and shook his head.

Things are already like this, the next thing to do is to move forward, why go back and ask why?

Even if you know your life background, emotional experience, and occasional impulsive mistakes, what's the point? Time should not be spent on these aspects.

There was a knock on the door.

Jing Jiu walked back into the room from the window, stroking the sword bracelet with his right hand to ignite the sword fire, and then landed on the teapot.

Squeak.

Brother Jing opened the door.

He didn't know whether it was because he knew the other party or for some other reason, but he didn't refuse the other party to enter, and he didn't even ask Jing Jiu for instructions.

The visitors came with the night breeze, and the footsteps that landed on the crabapple petals made no sound.

The girl in fluttering white clothes was extremely beautiful, with a weak expression and clean eyes, like a pool of clear water.

Like a fairy falling into the mortal world.

Jing Jiu motioned her to sit down, picked up the reheated teapot, and poured her a cup of tea.

He thought that the other party would send someone to comfort him or persuade him, but he didn't expect it to be this person.

Bai Zao is the only daughter of the couple who are the heads of the Zhongzhou School, and has a special status in Yunmeng Mountain. Even looking at the entire cultivation world, her status is extremely noble.

When she came to see Jing Jiu, it must be said that the Zhongzhou faction expressed enough respect.

Bai Zao thanked softly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a slightly different expression.

She didn't expect that the tea tasted so bad.

Even if the Qingshan Sect doesn't pay much attention to these aspects, but there are worshipers like Baoshuju, it is impossible to drink such tea...

The most important thing is that the tea is obviously not brewed correctly.

A pot of cold tea, boiled again by the sword fire, naturally tastes not much better.

Jing Jiu didn't know what she was thinking, thought she didn't know how to speak, and said, Please tell me.

Bai Zao thought to himself that he was an impatient person, if so, then he had to change his behavior style.

The possibility of Wei Chengzi breaking through to the late Yuanying stage is very small, and the school's support for him is not sufficient, but he is an elder of my Zhongzhou faction after all, and it is very difficult to be bribed. The fact that Bulao Lin can do this shows that their hands have reached deeper than we imagined. The most troublesome thing is that it seems that Bulao Lin may have something to do with the Underworld.

She looked into Jing Jiu's eyes and said earnestly, So our idea is that we should be more cautious in the investigation of this case.

Both the Qingshan Sect and the Zhongzhou Sect are leaders in the orthodox practice circle, so of course they should examine the assassination case of Zhao Layue from the perspective of the overall situation, and then make the safest judgment.

Jing Jiu understood what she meant, but he himself was not good at making these judgments, or he didn't think it was very important, so he said, Why did you come to me?

I heard Senior Brother Luo talk about what happened in the old plum garden. Although he and I don't understand it very well, it seems that the Layue peak master seems to care about your opinion.

Bai Zao's voice was very gentle, and her tone was very frank: If you are willing to keep silent for a while, or she can too, this matter will not be too urgent.

Jing Jiu said, Have you confirmed that Wei Chengzi is from Bulaolin?

Bai Zao said, Sorry, it's inconvenient to say this.

Jing Jiu said, Even if we don't say anything, the teachers in Qingshanli, including your parents, may not let Bu Laolin go.

Hearing this sentence, Bai Zao showed a mocking smile.

Jing Jiu knew that the smile was not for him, so who was it for?

Bai Zao looked at the night outside the window, and said softly: I know my parents and your teachers, because they are the same kind of people in essence. They won't want to go to war easily, because the old forest is not easy to deal with, and more importantly, they are used to peaceful cultivation.

The phrase not to be disturbed by worldly affairs has two meanings. The more important meaning is that one does not want to be disturbed by worldly affairs.

Jing Jiu understood what she meant, because he was also this kind of person.

Ascetics have reached the middle and late stages of the long years, their attitudes towards world affairs are naturally different from those of young people, and they have no similarities with ordinary people's views at all.

Because of his silence, Bai Zao misunderstood something and said another sentence.

We just ask you to be silent for a while, so as not to spoil the whole situation. In fact, we are already ready to start a war with the old forest.

Jing Jiu knew what she was talking about.

Just now when he asked her if she had confirmed that Wei Chengzi was from Bulaolin, it was also a kind of confirmation.

A few years ago, Liu Shisui ate the demon pill in the Zhuohe River outside Chaonan City, which was the beginning of this preparation.

He's just not sure who we... who Bai Zao mentioned many times in his words.

He asked, Who are you?

Bai Zao looked at him quietly for a long time.

The room was very quiet.

The copper teapot made a very slight metallic sound after a sharp alternation of hot and cold.

Just when Jing Jiu thought she couldn't speak, her voice sounded.

Senior Brother Luo, Tong Yan, me, Wanshu and several fellow disciples, Tonglu of the West Sea Sword Sect, some young disciples from Shuiyue Temple, Guocheng Temple, Kunlun Sect, and Tonghua Temple.

Bai Zao said calmly: In your Qingshan, there are some Liangwangfeng disciples from Guonanshan, Jian Ruyun, Gu Han, and Ma Hua.

This is incomprehensible trust and honesty.

Only then did Jing Jiu understand why both Luo Huainan and Tong Yan disliked him.

What is your intention to organize such...

He wasn't quite sure what to call this group of gifted disciples from various sects.

Our thinking is different from that of our teachers, but we are still young and not strong enough, so we need to help each other.

What's the difference?

Facing the threat of the Snow Country, the human race must unite and take the initiative to do something, and we can't just focus on cultivating in the mountains by ourselves.

Bai Zao said: When you are born into the world, you have to make the present world stable first, otherwise it will become a retreat from the world.

Jing Jiu said, It turns out that you are all believers in the Sword Saint.

Bai Zao said: No, we respect the sword master, but we feel that he works too hard like that, and without help, it will be difficult to achieve great things in the end.

Jing Jiu said, There is some truth to it, although he may not have thought of accomplishing any great things.

Bai Zao was slightly startled, thinking about the purpose of today's visit and said: Actually, we started paying attention to you and Zhao Layue a few years ago, but we didn't expect that for some reason...

This is naturally the story of Jing Jiu's feud with the disciples of Liangwang Peak.

Jing Jiu understood what she meant and shook his head.

Bai Zao thought he was afraid of something, and said: The teachers know our existence, and they probably want to see if we can do something.

Jing Jiu said, This is the expanded version of Liangwang Peak.

It can be understood in this way.

I don't like Liangwang Peak, so I don't like you either.

You don't need to like it, you just need to cooperate. There is no reason to be hostile or discord between the orthodox sects, especially the Qingshan sect and our Zhongzhou sect. Is it just to fight for leisure? That's too boring. And this time, I always feel that someone wants to force us to attack Bulaolin in advance, and then gain benefits from it.

Bai Zao's voice was very soft, as if wrapped in moist late spring air, it sounded very comfortable, sincere and persuasive.

Jing Jiu thought that your feelings should be right, and then remembered Liu Shisui who is now missing.

I promise you that I won't do anything to Bulao Lin, and you don't need to mention anything else.

This is a clear rejection of the invitation of these spiritual geniuses.

Bai Zao didn't show disappointment, let alone anger, and said softly: There is another thing.

For her, this matter is the focus of her visit to the Jingfu tonight. Compared with it, the previous persuasion and solicitation are more like excuses.

Jing Jiu said, Please tell me.

Bai Zao looked into his eyes and asked, Are you and Zhao Layue a Taoist couple?

Jing Jiu said, No, we don't have this idea either.

Bai Zao stood up, stretched out his hands, and slowly turned around.

Starlight passed through the window and fell on her.

The white skirt is light and fluffy, not a dance, and her figure is not very graceful, but it is extremely moving.

She looked at Jing Jiu, put on the appearance of asking Jun to admire, and said seriously: Then how do you see me?
