Although there was a vague "barrier" separating them, Xu Qian'an could imagine that the face of the white-robed sorcerer was becoming more serious, more ugly, and more gloomy...
"Or, should I call you "Xu Pingfeng" if that's your real na."
The white-robed sorcerer did not answer, and the valley beca quiet. The father and son looked at each other in silence.
One was dressed in white like snow, and the other was covered in blood.
The wind blew up the corner of the white-robed sorcerer's clothes, and he sighed as if he was lost, and slowly said:
"How did you find out?"
Xu Qian'an grinned, his eyes looked disdainful: "Guess."
He was pale and haggard, and his ragged clothes were stained with sweat and blood, but after they explained each other's identities, the arrogance between his eyebrows beca stronger and stronger.
The sorcerer in white groaned for a mont and said, "Through the art of heavenly secrets..." Xu Qi'an sneered:
"Everywhere you go, you will leave traces. For , as long as there is a flaw in the art of shielding heavenly secrets, it will not be invincible."
The sorcerer in white did not speak, but manipulated the stone plate to refine the luck in Xu Qi'an's body with a large array ford by the fusion of 108 small arrays.
Xu Qi'an, who was in crisis, said calmly:
"Shielding heavenly secrets, how to shield heavenly secrets? To completely wipe a person out of the world? Obviously not, otherwise no one would know about the first generation of supervisors, and the current supervisors would beco the first generation in the eyes of the world.
"When I knew the truth behind the tax and silver case, and knew that you, a great enemy, were lurking in the shadows, I had been thinking about how to deal with sorcerers, especially the mysterious art of shielding heavenly secrets.. Today you shielded , and I have considered this situation. "
"Gradually, I sumd up the two limitations of the art of shielding heavenly secrets.
"One: There is a limit to shielding the secrets of heaven. This limit is divided into two aspects. I divide it into influence and causality.
"As for influence, if you shield a stone on the roadside, no one will notice that it has disappeared. It is equivalent to completely erasing it from the world, because its instinctive influence is almost nonexistent. It is just a piece of stone that no one cares about.
"But you can't shield the Golden Throne Hall in the palace, because it is too important. It is so important that without it, people's understanding will be problematic, the logic will not be self-consistent, and the effect of shielding the secrets of heaven will be minimal.
"Just like the contemporary supervisor shielded the first generation and everything five hundred years ago, but people still know that Emperor Wuzong plotted rebellion and usurped the throne? Because this matter is too big? It is far from being comparable to a stone on the roadside.
"The sa reason? Turning objects into people, if you shield a person, then people who have a general relationship with him, or no relationship with him, will completely forget him. Because whether this person exists or not does not affect people's lives.
"But in his closest relatives, in his best friends, in his confidantes? The logic is not self- consistent. The reason is simple. Even if you block my parents, I still won't forget them, because everyone has parents. No one can co out of a stone.
"So, in order to "convince" myself and make the logic self-consistent, I will deceive myself and tell myself that my parents died when I was just born. This is the cause and effect relationship. The deeper the cause and effect, the harder it is to be blocked by the art of heavenly secrets."
This was actually told to Xu Qian'an by the wild sorcerer Gong Yangsu who t in the underground palace of Yongzhou.
The wild sorcerer who inherited from the first generation of supervisors had already explained the art of blocking heavenly secrets clearly.
The white-clothed sorcerer sighed, "Aweso, what is the second restriction."
Xu Qian'an said in a deep voice, "The second restriction is that for high-quality warriors, the blocking is temporary."
Wei Yuan could rember the existence of the first generation of supervisors, but only when he deliberately thought about similar information would he suddenly realize from the sense of historical fragntation that there was another first generation supervisor in the
Sitianjian.
The sorcerer in white nodded: "It depends on the cause and effect. The high-ranking people who have little relationship with you can't rember you at all. But those who have a deep cause and effect with you will rember you soon. And forget you quickly. And so on.
"As expected, Luo Yuheng and Zhao Shou almost rembered you, but they couldn't find this place. Originally, blocking your secrets was just to create ti."
This is scary enough...Xu Qian'an sighed in his heart and continued:
"In fact, I have a third guess about the limit, but I can't be sure. Why don't you solve it for ?"
After a pause, regardless of the sorcerer in white's attitude, he said to himself:
"If I appear in the eyes of my relatives or the people in the capital now, can they rember ? Will the technique of blocking the secrets automatically fail?"
"Is this important?"
While the sorcerer in white was talking, he drew a formation in the air. One after another, characters composed of clear light condensed and entered Xu Qi'an's body to accelerate the refining of his luck.
"It's very important. If my guess is true, then when you appeared in the sky above the capital and in everyone's sight, the art of shielding the secrets of heaven had already failed. My second uncle rembered you, my elder brother."
The sorcerer in white was silent for a long ti, and smiled: "Anything else?"
Xu Qi'an curled his lips: "The supervisor has a total of six disciples, but I have been dealing with the sorcerers of the Sitianjian for so long, and I have never heard any information about the eldest disciple from them. This is very unreasonable.
"Thinking about it later, the only explanation is that he shielded himself.
"But at that ti, I didn't realize that the supervisor's eldest disciple, the high-grade sorcerer who appeared in Yunzhou, was the real culprit behind the scenes. Because I didn't know the origin of the first and second grade sorcerers."
If he knew that a second-grade sorcerer had to backstab his teacher in order to be promoted to the first-grade, he would have revealed the truth long ago and would not have been confused by this Xu family literary star.
Xu Qiyan talked freely, like an experienced criminal investigation expert. The situation seed to have reversed, and the white-robed sorcerer, who had always been calm and
composed, began to listen quietly.
Xu Qiyan, who had beco a chopping block, spoke slowly and without panic.
Since he had long known about the existence of the white-robed sorcerer and knew that his own luck ca from his gift, how could Xu Qiyan take it lightly?
No one would take his own life and death lightly.
"Originally, if I continued to investigate according to this situation, I would sooner or later realize that the enemy I was facing was the eldest disciple of the Supervisor. But later, I t Ji Qian in Jianzhou and asked this royal bloodline for very critical information, and learned about the existence of that lineage five hundred years ago and the news that the first
Supervisor was still alive.
"Everything is reasonable and there are no logical loopholes. You used the information gap to make completely believe that the first generation of the Supervisor was not dead. Your purpose is to alienate and the Supervisor and make feel alienated from him, because Ji Qian told that if I took out the luck, I might die.
"Then, I must guard against the Supervisor forcibly taking the luck, and anyone would be wary. But in fact, everything Ji Qian said at that ti was what you wanted to know. If nothing unexpected happened, you were in Jianzhou at that ti."
The white-robed sorcerer did not stop carving the array pattern, and nodded: "This is also
true, I did not lie to you."
Xu Qian'an narrowed his eyes, nodded, agreed with his statent, and said:
"In fact, you deliberately gave Ji Qian to to kill. To alienate and the Supervisor is only one of the purposes. The most important thing is to send the dragon tooth to so that I can use my hands to destroy the spirit of the dragon vein."
The white-robed sorcerer acquiesced, paused, and sighed:
"There is another reason. It is better to die at the hands of the first generation than at the
hands of my biological father. I don't want you to know this fact. But you finally found out my
true identity."
Xu Qian'an said, "Shouldn't I thank you for your fatherly love?"
He took a deep breath and said,
"Speaking of which, I only realized your existence when I was investigating Jeanne d'Arc. The daily records of the 10th and 11th years of Yuan Jing did not mark the na of the recorder, which was almost impossible to happen in the rigorous Hanlin Academy.
"I thought it was a flaw of Emperor Yuan Jing at the ti. Following this clue, I found that the problem was with the recorder himself. So I checked the imperial examination in the 10th year of Yuan Jing and found that the na of the first place was erased.
"That third place later ford a party in the court and had great power. Su Hang, who was executed for corruption, was one of the core mbers of the party. In Cao Guogong's superstition, there is a party whose na has been erased. If nothing unexpected happens, the erased word should be: Xu Party!"
He glanced at the white-robed sorcerer and saw that he did not refute, so he continued:
"I used to think that it was the Supervisor who erased the existence of the Tanhua Lang, but later denied this speculation because of insufficient motivation. The Supervisor would not be involved in court struggles, and party struggles were just a child's ga for him.
"So I changed my perspective. What if it was him who erased the existence of the Qijilang? Wouldn't all this beco reasonable? But this is a hypothesis, and there is no evidence. Moreover, why did Qijilang erase his own existence, and where is he now?
"I never figured it out until I received a letter from a confidante."
Xu Qian'an paused, did not continue, but changed the subject, and said:
"Why is Yunzhou called Xuzhou?"
The white-robed sorcerer said calmly:
"The royal family I supported promised to make my descendants the king of the opposite sex.
Once the great event was accomplished, Yunzhou would be renad Xuzhou and belong to the Xu family. Of course, I don't care about this state. Oh, you are not the only one of my
descendants.
"It's not surprising that you can guess that I am the eldest disciple of the Supervisor, but how
can you be sure that I am your father?"
Xu Qian'an sneered:
"I just said that blocking the opportunity will confuse the logic of the closest people. They will self-repair the confused logic and find a reasonable explanation for themselves. For example, my second uncle always believed that the person who blocked the knife for him in the Battle of Shanhaiguan was his eldest brother.
"For example, the ntally confused elder of the Xu family was obsessed with the Xu family's literary star, Xu's eldest son. But the Xu family's literary star is the old man, and I am
a warrior. There is a problem with the logic here. Obviously, the elder with a unclear mind was
not talking about , but you.
"What really made realize your identity was the news that Erlang sent back from the
northern border. He t his second uncle's comrade-in-arms, who angrily accused his second uncle of being ungrateful and unworthy.
"Because the person who blocked the knife for the second uncle that day was not you at all,
but an old soldier nad Zhou. At that mont, all the clues were connected, and I finally knew who the enemy I was facing was."
At that ti, Xu Qian'an sat in the study for a long ti, full of sadness, for his second uncle
and the original owner.
"However, there are so things I still don't understand. You are a sorcerer, why are you a
third place winner?"
Xu Qian'an asked with curiosity.
The sorcerer in white sighed:
"This is an attempt. If I had not been forced to do so, I would not have wanted to be an enemy
of my teacher. My idea at the ti was the sa as yours, trying to support one of the existing princes to ascend the throne. But it is more comprehensive than you think. Not only do I have to support a prince to ascend the throne, but I also have to enter the cabinet and beco the
pri minister, and take charge of the center of the dynasty. "Two-pronged approach, condensing the luck, may help step into the first rank and beco the destiny, so there is the Xu Party."
Xu Qi'an sneered: "But you failed, is it because the supervisor did not agree?"
The sorcerer in white shook his head:
"He agreed, and made three rules with , not to use the ans of sorcerers as a tool for
party struggles, party struggles are party struggles, whether I can be the pri minister depends entirely on my personal ability."
Xu Qi'an gloated: "So, you lost the court struggle, so you withdrew from the court and supported the lineage from five hundred years ago?"
The white-robed sorcerer nodded, then shook his head:
"It's not as simple as you think. At that ti, the Xu Party was very powerful, just like the Wei
Party today. All parties rose up to attack. And the enemies I have to face are not only these, but
also Yuan Jing and the forr head of the Renzong Sect."
How to say this... Xu Qian'an frowned.
But soon, he figured it out.
The white-robed sorcerer sneered:
"The head of the Renzong Sect knew that he had no hope of overcoming the tribulation, but
he had to pave the way for his daughter Luo Yuheng, and the luck of a country is limited. It is still unknown whether it can achieve two destiny at the sa ti. Even if it can, there is no extra luck for Luo Yuheng to quell the fire of karma.
"Therefore, the forr head of the Renzong Sect regarded as an enemy. As for Yuan Jing,
no, Jeanne, you know what he is secretly planning. He wants to disperse his luck, how can he tolerate the birth of another destiny?
"In such a situation, how can I win? At that ti, I was almost in a desperate situation, and the teacher always watched coldly, neither intervening nor supporting.
Xu Qian'an couldn't help but think of the story in Fuxiang's letter. The young eagle was
bullied, but the old eagle watched coldly. The young eagle was angry and flew into the blue
sky, and never ca back.
So that's it......
"In the predicant, I suddenly thought, why can't I follow the teacher's example and help a
branch of the lineage to rise to the top, just like Wuzong's eradication of the emperor. Once this idea ca up, it was hard to stop.
"All my subsequent layouts and plans were working towards this goal. Why do you think Joan
of Arc cooperated with the Wushen Cult? Why did I send the dragon tooth to you? Why did I
know that he wanted to extract the spirit of the dragon vein?"
The white-robed sorcerer smiled.
All this originated from a casual conversation with ulterior motives back then.
He played a role in fueling all of Joan of Arc's plans today.
Fuck...Xu Qian'an's face changed slightly. Now that he recalled it, how could Joan of Arc think
of sacrificing the spirit of the dragon vein, turning the Central Plains into a vassal state of the
Wushen Cult, imitating Saren Agu, becoming a first-class with endless lifespan, and dominating the Central Plains? This kind of operation related to luck, at least Joan of Arc back then, could not have thought of it at all.
But if it was a professional sorcerer, it would be completely reasonable.
The Dizong Dao Shou and Xu Jia Dalang were the culprits for Dafeng's current situation. The
two of them have successively dominated today more than 40 years later.
"Later, I resigned from the court and conspired with Tiangu Old Man to plan the Shanhaiguan Campaign. During the process, I shielded myself and made Xu Jia Dalang disappear in the capital. Of course, this is inseparable from human manipulation, such as adding the nas that disappeared from the family tree, such as building a tombstone for myself.
"The mories of the Xu family mbers are also chaotic and cannot withstand scrutiny, but as long as no one deliberately wakes them up, they will deceive themselves. If you carefully inquire about the past, you will find that Erlang was crazy for a period of ti. Of course, these things are not glorious, and no one will take the initiative to ntion them. "My forr political enemies will not rember . In their eyes, I am just a thing of the
past. According to the principle of shielding the secrets of heaven, when I leave the court, the
cause and effect between and them has been cleared. Without deep entanglents, they will not care about ."
Xu Qian'an fell silent, and after a few seconds, he said:
"No wonder you want to use the tax silver case to get out of the capital in a reasonable
way. Although my luck was hidden by the old man Tiangu in so way before waking up, I am
your son after all, and the eyes of the supervisor are more or less on . "If you forcibly abduct by unreasonable ans, the supervisor will react quickly. But why don't you take away directly, but stay in the capital?"
The voice of the white-robed sorcerer changed slightly, revealing a tone of regret:
"You only guessed half right. The tax case was indeed intended to allow you to leave the
capital reasonably, but the reason why you stayed in the capital and were raised by Erlang was
not a mind ga under the lamp, but purely an accident that year."
"Accident?"
Xu Qiyan frowned and asked back.
The white-robed sorcerer nodded, his tone returned to calm, and smiled: "There is sothing I didn't tell you. Luck is not sothing that anyone can bear. You are the
best container, not only because you are my blood, but also because you are the blood of the
Dafeng royal family."
???
Although he had already talked about it today and knew too many hard-core secrets, Xu Qiyan was still hit hard at this ti and was dumbfounded.
