If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 504 Cause and Effect and Fate

After Li Rongji was taken away by the God of Death, Li Wenpan and other ghosts and gods also tactfully retreated.

"Master, did you gain anything?" Prince Qinghe asked nervously.

Master Xuanyin understood that what he cared about was not the situation of Prince Li, but his own destiny as an immortal.

"Your Highness, didn't you notice that the night before yesterday when you woke up from a nightmare and felt that your destiny was leaving you, it coincided with the time when Li Rongji broke the 'Qingshui River Oath'.

Almost immediately after Lee Young-kee broke the "Qingshui River Oath", an unknown change occurred. Your fate changed again, and you felt it in your heart, so you had nightmares one after another.

These things did not happen simultaneously, but they happened in sequence, linked by cause and effect.”

"Qingshui River Oath?" The Prince of Qinghe was stunned and asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with the Qingshui River Oath? Besides, I didn't break the oath!"

Xuanyin Zhenren said: "Back then, you and Yu Fengxian swore an oath on the Qingshui River, but I won't go into the details.

Isn't the purpose of your oath on water to reach a covenant of not harming each other and trusting each other?"

"Don't hurt each other." After thinking for a moment, Prince Qinghe nodded and said, "That's not wrong.

At that time, I just wanted to draw a line between us.

Considering the previous destiny of "destroying Shu in Xisha", I put forward various requests.

Make sure she doesn't return to the Xisha Islands to raise dragons again, and don't participate in the dynasty struggle and go to the Qin Dynasty. It doesn't matter.

In order to show his sincerity, Xianzhi also made some promises to her on behalf of me and the Li family. "

“Now Rongji and Yaochan have formed an alliance to murder her.” Prince Qinghe had a conflicted expression, “Although I don’t agree with Rongji’s behavior, Yu Fengxian also has her own way of seeking death.

She is too domineering, repeatedly killing the prince's followers, even hacking them to pieces in the street, just for trivial matters."

Xuan Yin said: "If she killed Li Rongji for such a trivial matter, she would be the first to break the Qingshui River oath.

Whatever consequences arise, she will bear them herself, and it has nothing to do with your Li family.

By the way, when you swore an oath on the water that day, in addition to the heaven and earth as witnesses, did you also ask Dipamkara Buddha to be a witness?
Alas, any oath made with Yu Fengxian cannot be taken lightly.

Most of the time, gods and Buddhas will ignore other people’s oaths.

Even if heaven and earth respond, you will still have to settle accounts with the King of Hell after you die.

Yu Fengxian swore an oath, and heaven and earth responded immediately. The Emperor of Heaven and Buddha immediately made a covenant on her behalf that whoever broke the oath would be in trouble.

The day before yesterday, she was almost there, but she held back.

Li Rongji couldn't help it, and joined forces with Yaochan to break the Qingshui River oath first.

Afterwards, she killed him, not only did she not break her oath, but it also confirmed the oath of Qingshui River - those who break their oath will fall into the endless hell forever. "

Li Jingyu hesitated and said, "I still don't understand. Rongji broke his oath. He can represent the Li family, but he can't represent me! Xianzhi and I didn't break our oath."

Xuan Yin Zhenren said: "Swearing by the water was originally the oath between Yu Fengxian and the Li family.

You represent the Li family, and Prince Xianzhi represents you.

Li Rongji's identity is very special. He is the prince of Western Shu and the designated head of the Li family.

I understand that you absolutely don't want him to represent you, but God has recognized that he represents the Li family."

Li Jingyu's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, even if Rongji represents the Li family, he broke his oath and has to prove his original oath. He will not die well and fall into hell. But what does this have to do with my destiny?"

Xuanyin Zhenren said: "The reason why I think the 'Qingshui River Oath' is related to your immortal fate.

It’s because Li Rongji just broke his oath the night before yesterday, and you immediately felt the connection.

This is deducing the cause from the result.

As to why this kind of cause and effect occurs.”

Xuan Yin Zhenren pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I must know what Yu Fengxian did the night before last."

"What happened to Yu Fengxian? According to the ghosts and gods, she buried Shaoyao from Hongxiufang in Cuiping Hill outside the city the night before yesterday." Li Jingyu said.

"She must have done something else. Think about it, your fate as an immortal is related to the Qingshui River Oath, and the Qingshui River Oath is related to Yu Fengxian."

Taoist Xuanyin stared at Li Jingyu's face and made quick calculations with his hands based on the changes in his luck.

His frown gradually relaxed.

Under normal circumstances, when a fortune teller looks at the person's qi, what he sees is only the qi revealed by the person concerned.

Just put the steamer on the pot and burn it. People outside can see the hot steam rising above the steamer and guess that the temperature inside is very high, but they don't know what's inside or what the exact temperature is.

A person's true destiny is hard to foresee.

Li Jingyu is a little different, his fate is difficult for others to predict. Wuzhuang Temple has a causal connection with him, and with the authorization of Li Jingyu himself (a special sacrificial ceremony was held in Wanshou Mountain), Xuanyin can vaguely see part of the landscape in the "steamer".

“You, your destiny, the Qingshui River oath, and Yu Fengxian are connected by a thread of cause and effect.

Li Rongji broke the oath on behalf of the Li family. The Qingshui River oath affected Yu Fengxian's fate, allowing her to gain something, or realize something, and do something that she would not do or could not do normally.

The successful completion of that thing directly led to your loss of immortality. At least you had nightmares, felt lost, and felt like your immortality was leaving you.

In this way, there is cause and effect, a line connects into a circle, it is complete and also ends. "

Li Jingyu panicked, "No, it can't end! I just had a nightmare. I feel like I've lost something, but it doesn't mean I've really lost my chance to be an immortal."

Xuanyin Zhenren sighed, "Li Rongji also said earlier that he slept uneasily that night and had a nightmare as well. His heart felt like it was on fire and his mind felt like it was frying in oil. It was almost exactly the same as your situation."

Li Jingyu grabbed his arm tightly, and begged with a pale face: "Master, help me! I can't lose the immortal fate, and the Li family can't lose the ancient Dragon Palace inheritance."

"The key lies in Yu Fengxian! Now the whole chain of cause and effect is basically clear, only she is missing." said Taoist Xuanyin.

"Then let's go find Yu Fengxian immediately." Li Jingyu said anxiously.

"Where can we find him?" Xuan Yin Zhenren raised his head, his eyes piercing through the City God's blessed land, and saw the morning light outside, "It's dawn, and Pushan still hasn't returned to Yingxiang Mansion.

Just as I expected, she didn't find Yu Fengxian.

Yu Fengxian chose to wait for us at the dock and had already made plans.

I guess she just wanted to confirm what new enemies the 'Yingxiang Mansion Incident' would bring, so that she wouldn't be confused in the future and not know who would attack her.

Her goal was basically achieved. She defeated Zeng Wendao and basically resolved the cause and effect of Guan Chenghuang's death.

She waited for you and me, but we were timid. She realized that the death of Lee Young-ki was of little significance.

She waited for Pushan, and from then on the 'enemy of Lingshan' changed from Yaochan to Pushan.

If she really became a follower of the Buddhist sect of Rāhula, perhaps she would do something.

Alas, look, we all thought she was doomed, but she has already torn through the first layer of the net."

“Let’s go down to search for the underground water veins—” Seeing Xuan Yin Zhenren’s expression change, Li Jingyu changed his words and said, “Zeng Wendao, Zhenren, let’s go find him. He is a true immortal and was just careless last time.

If he can join forces with the River God, he will definitely be able to capture Yu Fengxian."

"Zeng Wendao may have some hope. The White Dragon King was obviously timid by Yu Fengxian. How could he listen to you?" Xuan Yin shook his head. "It's not the White Dragon King, he is useless. I'm talking about the Black Turtle River God of Liusha River." Qinghe County King said.

"Can you convince that old turtle? He has been appointed to an official post in the Qin Empire and is responsible for guarding the Flowing Sand River.

If he had dared to leave his post and run around when the emperor was still in power, the Great Qin Immortal would have killed him first." Xuan Yin said.

Li Jingyu smiled bitterly and said, "How can I command him? I mean he has so many guards under his command.

Yu Fengxian has a grudge against them.

Now we just have to enter the underground sewer to look for Yu Fengxian's trace.

Once we find the target, we can let Zeng Wendao or someone else deal with Yu Fengxian. We don't need the guards to do anything. They probably won't refuse the opportunity to beat the downtrodden dog."

Xuan Yin pondered and said, "Let's go see Zeng Wendao first."

A moment later, Bao'an Hall in Tianmen Town.

"Ah, Great-grandmaster Xuanyin!" Upon seeing the two visitors, Doctor Min's face changed drastically. He hurriedly walked up to Xuanyin, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Xuan Yin looked at him doubtfully for a while, "Do you know me?"

In fact, he hasn't been down the mountain for many years.

When he was indeed very familiar with city life.

There is no contradiction between the two, simply because he has lived for ten thousand years.

Once upon a time, he lived in the market for many years. Even after becoming an immortal, he forgot about the passing of time and remained an "ordinary man" for hundreds of years.

But in the past thousand years, he seldom went down the mountain, so he didn't know much about the "famous people" in Yingxiang Prefecture and Tianmen Town.

"My disciple is..." Doctor Min was about to introduce himself, but when he saw the confused apprentices around him, he quickly shut his mouth, got up from the ground, and led the two guests to the backyard.

After getting away from everyone, he revealed the names of his master and his great-grandmaster.

"Oh, so you are Xuanye's disciple."

Xuan Yin was a little embarrassed. He didn't even know much about Doctor Min's master, "Qiyunzi" He Zhen.

It seems that Xuan Ye is an earthly immortal who attained enlightenment five hundred years ago?

I have some impression of him, so he can be considered my junior brother!
Zhenyuan Daxian is the ancestor of earthly immortals and has accepted many disciples.

There are countless earthly immortals who only teach the Tao but do not accept disciples.

Zhenren Xuanyin is a formal disciple of Wuzhuang Temple.

Xuan Ye, the ancestor of Doctor Min, did not become a disciple of Immortal Zhen Yuan, but he considered himself to be the ancestor's disciple.

Xuanyin is a leader who stands on the stage and speaks.

Xuan Ye had to listen to the lectures in the audience, and Doctor Min even stood on tiptoe in the back row, like a minion.

The minions know the leader, but the leader has never seen the minions.

"Doctor Min, the 'Heyang Immortal' asked about your situation, right?"

Although Li Jingyu was asking, his eyes were already on the most spacious and cleanest house in the backyard.

He was very familiar with Doctor Min's lineage.

He is Xuanyin's real nephew - Xuanyin refuses to acknowledge him and insists on calling him "Prince".

"Master Zeng took the medicine and just fell asleep not long ago," Doctor Min hesitated, "Although he was sent here last night, it took me a long time to heal him.

Almost all of his bones were broken, his internal organs were rotten, his dantian was destroyed, his meridians were disordered, and his yin spirit was on the verge of disintegration.

Fortunately, I have the 'Soul Nourishing Pill' here, which can help his Yin spirit recover and strengthen, so that he can mobilize his immortal energy and cooperate with me to heal his injuries."

Xuan Yin Zhenren glanced at him, smiled meaningfully and asked, "Do you know who hurt him so much?"

Doctor Min's expression remained unchanged, "I heard it was Yu Fengxian."

"Haha, he has woken up, Your Majesty, you can go see him." said Master Xuanyin.

"Master, don't you want to meet him?" Li Jingyu asked.

Xuan Yin shook his head and said, "I myself am not willing to enter the underground water vein to hunt down Yu Fengxian, so why should I encourage others to take the risk? You go ahead, I will talk to this Xiao Min outside."

Li Jingyu nodded, walked to the door, knocked on it first, and then asked, "Brother Dao, it's me. Is it convenient for us to talk now?"

To Xiaoyu, Heyang Zhenxian is a legendary figure.

But to Li Jingyu, he was an old acquaintance whom he had met several times.

When he called me "Brother Wendao", he was definitely not trying to establish a relationship with me. He had called me that before and Wendao had no objection.

"Come in." Zeng Wendao's voice was weak and hoarse, with some distortion.

Li Jingyu then pushed the door open and walked in.

He closed the door tightly and looked carefully at the Immortal Heyang lying on the bed.

He was wrapped in clean white cotton cloth like a dumpling, even his head was wrapped tightly, leaving only a hole as big as a gourd at his mouth.

"Brother Dao is a true immortal, and with the help of Doctor Min, recovery should be just around the corner."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This time, I was too arrogant and looked down on others, which led to my miserable defeat and made me a laughing stock. I was lucky enough to be spared with my life because of people's pity." Zeng Wendao's breathing was very steady.

After most of the night of treatment, his condition was indeed much better.

The injury is no longer getting worse, but is recovering rapidly.

Li Jingyu's eyes flashed, and he sighed, "It is true that Yu Fengxian is cruel, ruthless, and impulsive, but she does have some compassion.

She killed a lot of people tonight, and also spared a lot of people who I thought were doomed to die.

For example, among the 300 Black Dragon Guards of Yonghe Palace, Chen Taiping was only knocked down but not killed. Most of the Black Dragon Guards had wrist injuries, and no more than 30 people actually lost their lives.

In such a huge Yonghe Palace, there was such a big fire, but not a single palace maid or eunuch was burned to death.

Apparently it was due to her precise control of fire."

Then he changed the subject and his tone changed, “However, some people who shouldn’t have died still died.

For example, Rongji and Guan Chenghuang, they were all forced by the situation.

It is right to punish them severely. But killing them is too much."

Zeng Wendao understood a little, "My Lord, do you mean to join forces with me to deal with Yu Fengxian?"

Li Jingyu stared at him with a sharp gaze and asked, "I do have this intention. What do you think, brother?"

Zeng Wendao was silent for a long time, then said hoarsely: "I can't take revenge on her."
