Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 595 Astrological Changes
  "I wonder if it would be convenient for my senior to tell me what the relationship between Taoism and Canglong Qisu is?"

"Well..." Bei Mingzi raised his face slightly, as if he was recalling something, but after recalling for a long time, he didn't give Gu Xun an answer. He just said vaguely and perfunctorily, "This is no longer important."

"Today, the only two families that are really closely related to Canglong Qisu are the Mo family and the Yin Yang family."

"Taoism too..." Gu Xun asked with some disbelief, "How could that be?"

Bei Mingzi replied softly, like a murmur, "There is only one Tao, but there are thousands of ways. Different fates lead to different choices. Today's Taoists just made another choice."

"...Can you explain it simply and straightforwardly?" Zhangyu made his request.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the consent. Bei Mingzi just excused himself and said, "It's not important. You just need to know that the Taoist family is not involved with Canglong Qisu at the moment."

Gu Xun stared at Bei Mingzi with absent-minded eyes... What you said is very much like you are trying to distance yourself from the hidden villain.

"Okay..." Gu Xun still chose to believe the old gentleman's words, and then asked, "In addition to the various schools of thought, what about the royal families of various countries and Canglong Qisu?"

Theoretically, the royal families of various countries should be the most enthusiastic about this kind of legend that affects the world. However, judging from what Gu Xun knows now, the seven countries seem to be ignoring it.

Very strange.

"It doesn't matter." The answer given by Bei Mingzi was consistent with Gu Xun's previous guess.

But... "Why is this happening?"

Regarding Gu Xun's doubts, Bei Mingzi replied simply, "I'm afraid you have to ask Emperor Zhou about this."

"..." Gu Xun was speechless for a moment. Does Zhou Tianzi still exist... "Does the one in Yangdi count?"

"You can give it a try." Bei Mingzi replied noncommittally.

However, Gu Xun still felt keenly that the other party probably thought that Yang Di was unreliable.

When Canglong Qisu asked this question, Gu Xun felt that it was about the same. Anyway, the most fundamental question would never be answered, and the rest... there was really nothing to ask, and there was no point in asking.

"Besides Canglong Qisu, there is one more thing Gu wants to ask the seniors, which is about the Shushan tribe." Gu Xun paused and continued, "I asked the Mohist giant Six Finger Black Man before, but he said that in this regard The Mohist family doesn’t know much, so let me come to the Taoist family and ask.”

"Shu Mountain..." Bei Mingzi murmured and directly connected it with the Yin and Yang family, "It seems that Donghuang Taiyi is about to take action against the Fuso sacred tree."

"Fuso sacred tree?" Gu Xun asked, pretending not to know.

"That is a sacred tree that the Shushan tribe has offered sacrifices to for generations. According to legend, it is the gateway connecting the three realms of heaven, man, and the underworld. There is a sacred bird with three legs and a golden crow perched on it. It can guide people to travel through the three realms. It is also necessary for Donghuang Taiyi's plan. "

"So the Fuso Sacred Tree is also a step in finding Canglong Qisu..." Gu Xun first perfected his inference, and then asked, "Is this tree really that magical?"

Bei Mingzi didn't answer, probably because he was unsure.

Seeing this, Gu Xun stopped asking about these side branches and directly asked the most critical question, "Senior, do you know the location of the Shushan tribe?"

Bei Mingzi replied without hesitation, "Just ask Chisongzi."

Gu Xun nodded, indicating that he understood.

He felt that the most comfortable thing about Bei Mingzi was that he never asked more questions about why. He would answer if he could, and he would not answer if he couldn't or if he didn't know. He was very crisp and clear. "Thank you, senior. Well... I have one last question I would like to ask." Gu Xun straightened his body and finally said.

Bei Mingzi said nothing and looked at Gu Xun quietly, as if to say - Have I ever limited the number of questions you can ask?

"Ahem!" Gu Xun felt embarrassed and coughed slightly before asking, "Why are seniors so willing to answer my questions so happily?"

Regardless of whether Bei Mingzi's answer was clumsy or not, at least it seemed that the other party basically told everything.

Gui Guzi because of his relationship with Wei Zhuang, Li Mu because of his own predicament at the time, Six Finger Black Man because of Gu Xun's own strength... They all have their own reasons, at least on the surface, but Bei Mingzi and Chi Songzi No.

Gu Xun originally wanted to use the name of Mohism or Confucianism to build a relationship, but it was of no use... although the three schools of Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism seemed not to be very close in theory.

Bei Mingzi looked at Gu Xun intently, and for the first time he really smiled, very lightly, and then repeated what he said before, "There is only one way, but there are thousands of ways. This is my choice."

"What do you mean?" Gu Xun asked, "Senior, do you mean that telling me this will help you make a choice?"

Bei Mingzi did not answer directly, but suddenly changed the topic:

"Do you know anything about astrology?"

"Uh……"

Before Gu Xun could reply, Bei Mingzi continued to talk to himself:

"The stars change and the laws of heaven change. This is the common way and does not affect all things. The art of astrology is to use humans to peer into the sky."

"Since it's common knowledge, what's the use of peeking at it?" Gu Xun asked honestly, pretending not to understand astrology.

Of course, in fact, he did not understand the meaning of Bei Mingzi's words. If the stars were the normal way, wouldn't it be just like water flowing downwards? What's the use? Cos Wang Yangming?

"Oh, there is always nothing. I want to see how wonderful it is. There is always there, so I want to see how wonderful it is." Beimingzi quoted a line from the Tao Te Ching and replied, "If you look at the sky with a human being, what you see is still a human being, but it is just the Tao. The ever-changing fate of people is the so-called prophecy of astrology.”

"Uh... does this have anything to do with my previous question?" Gu Xun asked in confusion.

"You should know from others that the stars have changed drastically not long ago, and it can basically be concluded that the source of the change is you."

"Uh..." Gu Xun smiled and refused to answer the question.

Bei Mingzi didn't care about his reaction and continued to talk to himself:
  "People who cause astrological changes are not uncommon since ancient times, but there are traces of them, and most of them are just born children. There has never been a situation where a twenty-year-old adult caused such astrological changes."

Speaking of this, Bei Mingzi showed a smile, "Haha, your sudden appearance surprised many people and ruined many people's plans, and the one who was most affected..."

Gu Xun took over the words thoughtfully and murmured, "Donghuang Taiyi..."

Bei Mingzi nodded slightly, "Yes, Donghuang Taiyi was completely disrupted by your appearance."

"All his plans are on a predetermined trajectory. They should be foolproof from beginning to end. However, you not only caused changes in the stars, but also continue to have an impact."

"He, the Yin Yang Family under his control, and everything else are still walking on the path he originally expected. Unfortunately... the end of the road is no longer known to him."
