Start with the jailer

Qing Juetian clasped his fists slightly: "Lord Wuzhu!"

Wu Zhu: "Have you seen me?"

Qing Juetian: "When the Thirteen Gods conquered Jishanzhou, I was at the edge of Kunlun..."

As he said this, he suddenly realized that this was not a glorious thing, so Qing Juetian shut up abruptly.

Wu Zhu sneered in his heart.

A traitor can never please anyone.

"I see……"

"If you had not stood by and watched back then, I'm afraid my demon race would have been in great trouble... But now, you are willing to join forces with us to fight against the Immortal Organization. The Immortal Organization will undoubtedly be defeated!"

Qing Juetian's expression improved slightly. At least the other party recognized his strength: "Are you sure it's the winter solstice?"

Wu Zhu: "Yes! On the winter solstice, the six yins end and the yang returns. All things begin to come to life, and the grass and trees take root and begin to wake up... The ancient demon flower is the strongest on the winter solstice!"

Qing Juetian: "Then let's high-five to swear an oath!"

"it is good!"

boom!
boom!
boom!
Three palm prints formed by true energy and three palm prints condensed by demonic power collided in the air.

Then the mist disappeared.

The rust also disappeared.

Mo Shuyang did not talk to Qing Juetian again, which made Qing Juetian believe that Mo Shuyang and the demon clan had really planned to attack Hou Tuzhou on the winter solstice.

"In this case... we are 70% sure..."

Qing Juetian thought so and closed his eyes to meditate again. His perception kept sinking down to the ground, as if he was trying to communicate with something underground.

……

At the same time,
In the sea of ​​stars, Mo Shuyang said with some sarcasm: "You have been secluded from the world for too long... Have you lost even the basic wisdom?"

"This is... Qing Jue Tian? Is this the Qing Jue Tian that I also looked up to back then?"

"However... there are only fifty-three days left until the winter solstice. I have to speed up and find the remaining saint corpses..."

"As for the corpse of Green Emperor Yi Fangzhen..."

"Save it for last."

Strictly speaking, Qing Emperor Yi Fangzhen is not the strongest among the Thirty-two Saints. In fact, Qing Emperor Yi Fangzhen is not even among the top ten among the Thirty-two Saints.

However, the corpse of the Green Emperor Yi Fangzhen happened to resonate extremely strangely with the entire Suzaku Galaxy, making it the most difficult to obtain among the thirty-two holy corpses.

"But there's no rush..."

He had only found the corpses of twenty-three past saints, but he had already obtained seven opportunities and fortunes around the corpses of the past saints, which made his realm rust increase several times again.

When he finally arrives at the corpse of Green Emperor Yi Fangzhen, he will only be stronger!
……

Also at the same time,

On the eighth floor of the Heavenly Prison, Li Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes.

During this month, he has appeared in front of the public as a substitute clone, and performed the duties of the emperor as a substitute clone.

It was precisely because the only substitute clones that could be used at present that Li Qingfeng did not make any drastic changes to anything, and as a result, Hou Tuzhou had a rare month of peace.

During this period of time, Li Qingfeng focused all his energy on the world of fire.

At this moment, he was quietly looking at the two blood-red chains that were sinking into the depths of an unknown space in front of him, and a hint of depth gradually emerged in his eyes.

"According to Yan Wei... this is [Yi]..."

Change means change.

This ever-changing state is Yi!
In fact, this world of origin of all things is the true source of the Book of Changes. Some ancient sages observed the Book of Changes, refuted it with the Lianshan method, and established the Lianshan Book of Changes to pass down to future generations. Later, another ancient sage observed the Book of Changes, refuted it with the Guizang method, and established the Guizang Book of Changes to pass down to future generations.

This was some of the information Ji Yanwei got after divination, but it was still not enough. Afterwards, the ancestor of the Ji family and Ji Yewei, Ji Chenwei, and Ji Xiwei joined forces to divination and obtained more crucial information.

The reason why the two saints who founded Lianshan Yi and Guizang Yi named this world of fire Yi is not only because it exhibits the characteristic of constant change, otherwise it would be more appropriate to directly name it [Change].

The most important reason why it was named "Yi" is that it contains the meaning of simplicity.

Easy can mean ever-changing or it can be extremely simple and easy.

Only by starting from the extremely simple place can we have the possibility of cracking this world of fire.

It is just like Shi Potian, who was illiterate, but managed to learn the Taixuan Sutra.

It is just like how things in the past thousands of years are different, but their spirits are the same.

If one can go beyond the changing forms of things and grasp their essential spirit, then one can understand one law and all laws... Therefore, Li Qingfeng added a third point to the information obtained by Ji Yanwei and others through divination.

"Yi means change, simplicity...but it is also one! A consistent one!"

"The method to crack it..."

Li Qingfeng was still a little hesitant.

The Lianshan Yi is naturally a scripture that points directly to the essence of all things, and is derived from the Gen hexagram of the Eight Trigrams, which represents mountain, as its main hexagram.

The Gui Zang Yi is a scripture that directly points to the essence of all things, with Kun as the main hexagram of the earth.

The "Book of Changes" that does not exist in this world but existed in Li Qingfeng's previous life seems to be a scripture that directly points to the essence of the universe, with Qian Gua as the main Gua.

But if it were really that simple... then he shouldn't be called Zhou Yi, but Lian Tianyi or something like that.

As for some people saying that the Book of Changes was named after Zhou because it was created by King Wen of Zhou...that is also wrong.

After all, the Book of Changes came first, and then the Great Zhou.

During the Shang Dynasty, the title of Great Zhou was Marquis of Xibo, and his fief was Xiqi, not Marquis of Zhoubo or a place called Zhou.

That is to say, it was the Book of Changes created by King Wen of Zhou that was named Zhouyi, and later when Ji Fa established the country, he used Zhou as the name of the country.

"This word Zhou... is worth pondering."

"The Zhou of comprehensiveness? The Zhou of repeating over and over again?"

"If it is the former... that means Zhou Yi has already understood Yi itself in the most comprehensive and perfect way..."

"If it is the latter, then it means that from Lianshan Yi to Guizang Yi, and then to Zhouyi headed by Qian Gua, the three just form the cycle of Yi, and Zhouyi is the beginning..."

"There is even a third possibility... that is, Zhouyi itself is not based on Qian Gua, but rather uses Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun as the eight angles to penetrate the Yi in the most comprehensive way."

"That is to say, Zhou Yi has achieved the most perfect and ultimate understanding of Yi that humans or all living things can achieve..."

Similarly, after the Zhouyi was created, the Yijing has not changed much, and no one has created a fourth Yijing. "Three possibilities... But there is no doubt that I need to use the three Yijings to make in-depth calculations and deductions again..."

"But... I have finally unveiled the mystery of the Book of Changes, and I finally understand why the Book of Changes is the most important of all Chinese classics..."

If the Book of Changes is really a book of cognition of the origin and essence of all matter in the world formed based on observation of this [world of the origin of all things], then learning the Book of Changes can indeed enable one to reach a level of near omniscience.

After all, there are countless things in the world that are unknowable, which is what Zhuangzi said - my life is limited, but my knowledge is unlimited, and I will never be able to learn all the knowledge in the world.

But if one could directly bypass the complicated phantoms projected from the essential world through some kind of light and directly learn everything about the essential world, then one would naturally be able to grasp the main points and reach the level of knowing everything.

But... because the Book of Changes is a book based on the understanding of Yi itself, most people think that the content of the Book of Changes is like reading a book from heaven, and they have no idea what it means...

"If I can create something based on Lianshan Yi, Guizang Yi and Zhouyi in my previous life..."

"Forget it, this can't be done."

The Book of Changes, the word "Yi" also represents many things.

Even the essential words and sentences are extremely mysterious, just like classical Chinese, which requires understanding... Changes in punctuation will cause thousands of changes in the meaning of a sentence.

Li Qingfeng wanted to describe the contents of the Book of Changes in popular language... But if he really wanted to do that, even if he exhausted all the written materials in the universe, he would still not be able to record all the contents of the Book of Changes, which can be described in just a few thousand words.

"True knowledge... is ultimately too high to be understood by the masses. There are not many beings who can touch the truth..."

Just like the path to immortality that Li Qingfeng has already opened up, there are actually not many people who can truly practice according to this path.

Xiao Jiangshan's example of entering Taoism through martial arts has led many people to choose martial arts.

"Forget it... Let's talk about these later. The most important thing now is to comprehend the Yi. Then, I can draw out the origin of the human race's writing from it, and use it to condense the origin of the human race's spirit..."

Thinking of this, Li Qingfeng slowly closed his eyes, and poured all his innate Taoist spirit into his mind.

At this moment, he was like a computer that had been completely freed from its restraints, and in his mind he began to deduce the Lianshan Yi, Guizang Yi and the Zhouyi of his previous life at extremely high speed.

Only by thoroughly deducing the three Yi, verifying each other to find the similarities among the three Yi, and then further deducing, can we understand how to break through the blockade and suppression restrictions of this [Yi] and have the possibility of entering it.

Time began to pass quickly again.

But the Sky Patrol had a history of killing officials who had committed crimes, and had imprisoned the nine clans of the officials who had committed crimes in various prisons, and even built prisons in the places where they were exiled... In addition, Li Qingfeng had a problem that stumped the heads of the six ministries, the fourteen immortals of the Immortal Mountain, and the eighty-one candidates for the crown prince...

In this world, evil people are extremely obedient. Although they collude secretly, they dare not take any actual action.

The crown prince and others increasingly put the common people first, the fourteen immortals of the fairy mountain and the heads of the six departments took turns walking around the human world, and officials from all over the country worked diligently.

In addition, Li Qingfeng's substitute clones appear from time to time in Jin'an City, and the world is rarely peaceful.

but……

Xiao Jiangshan and Zhou Huanran have already smelled the scent of a drastic change coming.

Fengge City,
At this time, Fengge City has completely recovered its prosperity.

There was an endless stream of peddlers and hawkers.

The three officials patrolling the city were solemn and solemn. Outside the city, thousands of acres of fertile fields were already lush and green, with crisscrossing paths.

However, some people privately feel that Jin'an City has never been named the imperial capital since the establishment of Datong, and the title of imperial capital has even been completely stripped away, and it is only called Jin'an City.

Many people believed that this was a sign that there would be no capital. After everyone thought about it, a rumor spread among the people that as long as Nanzhou was pacified, the capital would be moved to Fengge City or Qianfang City.

Therefore, many people took advantage of the fact that the court allowed or even encouraged migration to the border and chose to migrate their families to Fengge City.

After all, this is the real imperial capital where the human race last ruled the entire Houtu Continent three thousand years ago.

And going back three thousand years, even during the time when the human race's imperial capital was in Jishan Continent, this city, once named Qianfang City, had always been the royal city where the palaces of the feudal lords of Houtu Continent were located!

This place... is destined to become the core area of ​​Houtuzhou in the future!

Even if the human race regains control of the nine continents and the eight wildernesses in the future, the imperial capital will move back to Jishan Continent. This will definitely be the most prosperous place in Houtu Continent.

As a result, more and more people migrated here in advance.

After all... the benefits of staying in the capital are enormous. Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s talk about the nearby ones... every time a benefit caused by the dramatic changes in Tianlao is brought about, it is always the common people of Jin'an City who are the first to enjoy it.

Even in the previous Tang Dynasty, when chaos reigned everywhere and human lives were worthless, the life safety of the old farmers in the suburbs of the imperial capital was no less secure than that of the local clan members.

at this time,

After traveling around the world, Xiao Jiangshan came to Fengge City.

At the same time, Zhou Huanran also came directly to Fengge City after leaving Huaizhou and Fuzhou.

The two men stood on the top of the city wall and looked towards the east like ordinary people. In their eyes, there were fertile fields stretching for thousands of miles until the end was blocked by mountains.

Zhou Huanran: "Brother Xiao, did you feel it too?"

Xiao Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, I feel it... The calmness over the past month or so is probably the last peace before the storm."

Zhou Huanran: "Then we...just wait here?"

Xiao Jiangshan chuckled: "If Brother Zhou had not hidden himself from the world back then... the Tang emperor might have won the Northern Expedition and recovered Fuzhou."

Back then, Xiao Jiangshan had also sensed the undercurrents within the aristocratic families, but he had to be wary of the Yunzhou Phoenix Clan, and the Tang Dynasty had a deep misunderstanding of them.

If Zhou Huanran had not gone into seclusion at that time... the emperor might have been able to recapture Fuzhou.

It is the same now. Xiao Jiangshan has sensed some movements among the poor clans and the remaining aristocratic families, sensed the undercurrent, and instantly determined that the undercurrent would choose to erupt in Fengge City.

Zhou Huanran also noticed it, not much slower than Xiao Jiangshan.

Zhou Huanran shook his head: "A dynasty like that...even if it really has the ability to recover the Nine Continents and Eight Wastelands...it is meaningless."

Xiao Jiangshan shook his head and said, "If we could have recovered Fuzhou 200 years earlier, the human race as a whole would have been able to obtain the resources of the Nine Provinces 200 years earlier. Now the human race... might be several times stronger than it is now!"

Zhou Huanran was speechless: "...Brother Xiao, you are so righteous! But I can't have the same vision as you."

Xiao Jiangshan: "Should we inform the emperor about this?"

Zhou Huanran smiled and looked at Xiao Jiangshan: "Brother Xiao, do you think that I am new to the world and don't know the emperor well?"

"Isn't it clear that the Emperor himself is fanning the flames of this situation?

The two smiled at each other and stopped talking. They just looked at the eastern sky. It seemed that they could see the extremely blood-red flame in the clear sky and bright earth.

In fact, both of them were clear about Li Qingfeng's style of doing things. Combined with the several arrangements Li Qingfeng had made before, and the fact that the calm this time was almost condoned by Li Qingfeng...it was not difficult to withdraw from the undercurrent they had sensed, which was actually the Later Emperor Li Qingfeng who was fanning the flames behind the scenes.

As for the Fourteen Immortals of the Fairy Mountain, the heads of the other six tribes, the Demon-Suppressing Army, etc.... they cannot be notified.

Once notified...it would easily alert the enemy.

Now that he has mastered the martial arts and possessed the three-color immortal energy, Qie Xiao Jiang Shan is confident that he can protect Fengge City on his own in the future undercurrent riots! (End of this chapter)
