Chapter 104: Eight-Character Precepts

  "Continue!" Second Brother Liang's descendant, Liang Xin! Liang raised an eyebrow, pointed to the bed with his finger and said to Liang Xin: "Sit down."

  Liang Xin didn't mince words either. He put down the monkey and his adoptive father, and sat down on the bed in a row, only then asking: "How did you know?"

  "Qu Qing Shi is under me as a subordinate, but in his mind, he has always been thinking of reversing the case for Liang Yier 300 years ago. Does he not know?"

  Jiulong Temple has had a total of 23 commanders since its establishment. Among them, Shilin's tenure is the longest, from the age of 38 to now, he has been in this position for exactly 30 years. It can be seen that he is very capable.

  Qu Qingshi bore the weight of his ancestors' will, secretly helping Liang Yier turn over a new leaf. Stone Lin had long since seen through him, but he also knew that Qu Qingshi wouldn't be able to find any clues, so he didn't expose him.

  Until recently, Qu and Liu were caught, and Shi Lin vaguely felt that this case might be related to their experience on Kunlun Mountain five years ago. Then Liang Xin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

  At first, Shi Lin thought Liang Xin was a spy, until the battle of Jiezhong Town, when Shi Lin dispelled his doubts and confirmed from Xiao Quan, Cheng Qi Lianzi, Huang Gua Mo Ya, Long Qing Yi and others that this fake You Ji named "Liang Mo Dao" had been thinking of saving Qu Qing Shi and Liu Yi.

  Jiulong Temple immediately launched a large-scale investigation and soon found that five years ago, the descendants of Liang Yier were convicted as sinners and exiled to Kunai Mountain. Liang Xin was in the same camp as Qu Qingshi, but later a tragic case occurred on Kunai Mountain, leaving only Qu Liu and one other person surviving.

  Having searched to this point, Shi Lin finally understood that there was another survivor named Liang Xin, and he didn't know where Qu Qing Shi had hidden him. Now hearing that Qu and Liu were in trouble, he immediately rushed over to rescue them.

  After a brief explanation, Shi Lin sat back in his chair and looked at Liang Xin: "I heard from Xiao Qu that you've contacted your friends to help Qu Qing Shi and Liu Yi overturn the case? What do you plan to do?"

  But unexpectedly, Liang Xin shook his head: "It's still not the time to say it." His meaning was very clear, he didn't believe Shi Lin.

  Shilin didn't think much of it, smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, I have two friends of yours here, go see them, they know something big!" As he spoke, Shilin raised his head and gave an order to someone outside.

  Before long, the tent door curtain was lifted, and two people with black and white hair, tall and slender, like a pair of immortals, bowed and entered. They were exactly Tong Chuan and Ri Xian, the two bosses of the funeral home, Zhuang Zhou and Song Gongjian!

  At the time of Tongchuan's disaster, Langya's Huimao Yemian also saved them. Later, Qingmo was injured and Liangxin went to find Dasiwu, leaving them in their original place.

  The border fort was destroyed in an instant, such a big thing, even if Qing Yi was anxious, he had to send someone to investigate, and the two shopkeepers were caught by Jiulong Qingyi and secretly sent to Shilin.

  With the serious and respectful attitude of Zhuang Zhou and Song Gongjian, they entered the Jiulong Temple. Shi Lin told them everything that had happened, but that was not all - he also inadvertently learned a major piece of news from their mouths!

  "Life and death are unpredictable. These days have been spent in fear, afraid that knowing the truth about Tongchuan's disaster would lead to being silenced by Jiulongsi for no reason. After seeing Liang Xin, the two brothers were stunned at the same time and asked in unison: "Were you also caught?"

  Zhuang Buzhou immediately reacted, recognizing Liang Xin as someone who knew Langyao, Dongying, Song Hongpao and Hui Pao Tiemian. The background was too big to be ignored, it was impossible for him to be captured. He quickly put on a surprised expression and rushed forward: "Liang boss, are you okay? We've been thinking about you these days, and also Old Master Ruan."

  Song Gongjian also came around the bend, but he was a bit more honest than Zhuang Zhou, and directly cried with a sad face to Liang Xin: "You are magnanimous, don't hold grudges about that little thing when we were calculating the copper river, my brother is blind and doesn't know you're a superior person."

  Liang Xin saw the two of them and was actually quite happy, having long since let go of the "malicious competition" from back in the day. He even felt a slight sense of joy, as if he had gained something. This feeling was all thanks to Hei Bai Wu Chang. With a smile and a shake of his head, he didn't bother with small talk and directly asked: "You two, do you know any big news? Tell me about it!"

  Zhuang Buzhou stole a glance at Shilin, and after getting permission, he dared to speak to Liang Xin: "You also know that our brothers' teacher back then was a fortune teller. However, our mentor is different from us. Although he relies on the evil spirits in the copper bottle for guidance and has some lucky guesses, he truly loves the mysterious learning of Zhou Yi."

  Liang Xin seemed to have thought of something upon hearing this and raised an eyebrow to ask: "Feng shui?"

  Zhuang Buzhou immediately made a surprised and delighted exaggerated expression: "Great! He's running a fortune-telling stall, but what he's most obsessed with is Feng Shui!"

  Song Gongjin interjected from the side: "He doesn't let people see his mansion's feng shui, because he is studying grand feng shui, which has no use for ordinary people."

  The unpredictable and unorthodox Master Liu, nicknamed "Liu the Half Immortal", actually has very limited abilities. But that's just how things are in this world - you can find chess enthusiasts who are terrible at it everywhere. Liu is one such person, he loves to study mysticism, but indeed, he can't seem to grasp anything. Compared to Zhao Qing and his son, they are worlds apart.

  However, Liu Bansi's own level is not good, but he has a fierce ghost who understands yin and yang, can argue about the movement of gas, and knows the seven emotions of women. Liu Bansi likes to study Feng Shui, so it's natural that he communicates with this ghost, the fierce ghost once pointed out to him that if you want to see the big Feng Shui, you must find the "Tianyan" (Heavenly Eye), which is located at the Tianyan position. After inspecting from there, all the spiritual energy in the world can be seen at a glance.

  To appreciate the great scenery of life, there is an important prerequisite, which is to be detached from it.

  It's just like observing a river, you must be on the high point of the shore. If the observer is also in the river, drifting with the current, it's hard to get an accurate result. This illustrates a common saying: Those who are in the midst of things are confused, while those who observe from outside are clear-headed.

  Although the principle is simple, it's difficult to implement. The great Feng Shui refers to the direction of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the entire Central Plains are under the coverage of these energies. It's not easy to go out and survey them in person.

  And "Tong Tian Yan" refers to the position in the middle of the earth, which is forever fixed and unchanged, no matter how the Feng Shui changes, it will not be affected. If a Feng Shui master can find this position, all the Feng Shui changes in the world are under his eyes!

  Zhuang Buzhou tried his best to explain "Tongtian Eye" clearly, but Liang Xin was still confused, shaking his head with a bitter smile: "The two bosses might as well just continue!"

  Zhuang Buzhou hastily pulled the topic back on track: "My master once asked that ghost, where exactly is the Tianyan Eye? The ghost replied: On the shores of the East Sea, at the spot where the first ray of sunlight reflects at sunrise!"

  The place where the sun rises, unchanged since ancient times. Even if the Central Plains are destroyed, the sun will still rise in the same way. Therefore, the first line of sunlight that shines every day is actually the coordinates of the place where the sun rises projected onto the Central Plains!

  The place where the sun rises will not change, and this coordinate will not change either. Therefore, this place is a "Tianyan"!

  Zhuang Buzhou deliberately lowered his voice: "My master has been searching for many years and finally confirmed that this 'Tongtian Eye' is on a cliff in Qianshan, Linhai!"

  Unfortunately, although Liu Banshen confirmed the location of "Tongtian Eye", Qianshan is a Taoist stronghold, how can ordinary people casually pry into it? Liu Banshen never managed to personally go to "Tongtian Eye" to take a look, and he regretted it until his old age and death. He often mentioned it incessantly, and from this, Hei Bai Wuchang also knew about the matter.

  Liáng Xīn let out a long sigh. He turned his head to look at the commander of the Stone Forest, and said in a deep voice: "This time... things are big!"

  Shilin's face was cold and gloomy, and he nodded slowly!

  The case of Qian Shan has finally become clear in terms of its connections:

  The national teacher changed the trend of heaven and earth's spiritual energy through countless projects.

  The Xiu Zhen Men sect and Dong Fu were affected, and under the thinning of spiritual energy, their cultivation progress was slow.

  The Orthodox Masters were all slowed down in their progress, and the Five Elements and Three Rarities were not valued. Therefore, at the location of Tongtian Eye in Donghai Qian, they built a platform to observe the sky, which was actually used to observe what changes had occurred in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and why these changes had occurred.

  In order to avoid panic among the cultivators, the Five Great Clans and Three Sects did not reveal the truth. Everyone still thought that Wangtiantai was built by Donghai Qian himself for fun. In fact, the owner of this pavilion is the high-and-mighty Eight Great Heavenly Gates.

  The national teacher changed the Feng Shui, but didn't want to be discovered by the Xiu Zhen Dao, so he simply destroyed half of the cliff, and also destroyed the Tong Tian Yan. The location of the Tong Tian Yan must be a natural creation, now that the cliff has been artificially damaged, the place where the first ray of sunlight is reflected can no longer be accurate. At this point, Liang Xin completely confirmed that the two sworn brothers were wrongly accused, and the mastermind behind this case was definitely the national teacher.

  The Eastern Sea was bombed, and for the Five Great Clans and Three Sects, there were only two possible outcomes: either the imperial court would have to deal with the Cultivation Path, or evil cultivators had infiltrated the imperial court. Neither outcome was acceptable to them, so this time, the Five Great Clans and Three Sects took drastic action, not only inviting cultivators from all over the world to jointly investigate the suspect, but also sending out their own top experts to take action. Their attitude couldn't be clearer: uncover the truth and eliminate it by force.

  The national teacher learned about Qu and Liu's experience on Kunai Mountain through some channels or means, so he framed them. The national teacher's purpose is very clear, to make this case a "personal vendetta" what a coincidence, everything is a coincidence, Qu Qing Shi and Liu Yi killed the true person of Nanyang, fearing that Donghai Qian would discover the truth and retaliate, so they took action in advance and blew them up.

  Not long ago, when Liang Xin was in Tongchuan, he learned from Lang Ya's mouth that Donghai Qian had been bombed. He wouldn't have thought of it even in his dreams, and the matter turned out to be so terrible!

  It's not complicated, it's terrifying! The context of this matter is too big!

  Shi Lin didn't mince words, his voice low and serious: "This matter, I am already powerless to do anything about it. Even if I clearly know that the murderer is Guoshi, even if I clearly know that Guoshi killed Qu Qing Shi and Liu Yi, even if I clearly know that Guoshi wants to take advantage of the situation to get rid of the Jiulong Si, I still can't make a move to counterattack, all I can do is sit and wait for death!"

  Zhuang Buzhou and Song Gongjian exchanged a glance, both of their faces turned pale. The inside story of the Qian Shan case, the game between the Imperial Tutor and the Jiulong Temple, these were not things that they had the qualifications to hear. The more Shi Lin said, the more likely they were to die. Now, Zhuang Buzhou was also furious, almost gnashing his teeth as he asked Shi Lin: "I don't understand, if you reveal all of these things at the trial in the Imperial Court, won't the Jiulong Temple be saved?"

  The words had barely fallen when Shi Lin burst out laughing, but there was no joy in his laughter: "Changing the world's feng shui is an engineering project led by the National Master, but every item has been approved by the imperial court. It's for the public good! Qu Qing and Shi Liu are also enemies of Donghai Jian, that's personal! Blowing up Donghai Jian, this matter started with a public reason, and if it starts with a private reason, just beheading two children will do. Hehehe, the Nine Dragons Bureau was abolished by the National Master, the imperial court is fine, the mortal world is fine; the Nine Dragons Bureau reveals the truth, the imperial court is destroyed, the mortal world is in chaos, and even the human world is gone, what's the point of talking about the Nine Dragons Bureau?

  Zhuang Buzhou still didn't give up and insisted, "I think that two of the national masters are probably evil people. If we can expose their true nature, then the imperial court will be deceived by treacherous people."

  Shi Lin continued to laugh loudly, shaking his head and saying: "Expose them? With evidence to support our inferences, the Imperial Tutor can simply assert that everything is being done by the imperial court, and in the end, isn't it just going to lead to war?"

  In the midst of loud laughter, Shi Lin's voice was stiff and helpless. With a wave of his hand, he threw the wandering nameplate to Liang Xin and said lightly: "Now that things have come to this point, I am powerless, so I asked you to come, wanting to hear your solution!"

  Liang Xin took the token from You Ji, but still shook his head: "The matter is confidential and cannot be said for now." Then he looked at Shi Lin again: "I will do my best! However, this token belongs to someone else and must be returned sooner or later. If I complete this task without incident, you have to give me another one that's exactly the same!"

  Shilin nodded steadily: "It's settled then."
