Chapter 284 Fang Ge: I suspect that the donkey is plotting against me [Seeking monthly votes]

Upon receiving the news, Fang Ge immediately traveled to Mount Shu to inquire about the specific coordinates of Jin Xi's reincarnation.

Yin Ruozhuo concluded that Jin Xi was born into the Jing family, a wealthy family in Shu... The current head of the Jing family had a close relationship with Shu Mountain.

Therefore, he sent Li Xiaoyao and Fang Ge together.

Fang Ge had a... bad feeling.

The cities of Shuzhong, Yuzhou, and Jingjia have a deep connection with the Shu Mountains.

Without a doubt, it is the family founded by Jing Tian, ​​the protagonist of Chinese Paladin 3.

The world view of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 is inherited from the perfect ending of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3.

In this ending, Jing Tian even surpasses the Demon Lord Chonglou in pure martial arts. He finally returns to Xin'an Pawnshop with Xue Jian and Long Kui to begin a new life, living a happy and fulfilling life until his peaceful death.

In later works, only in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 prequel is it described that Jing Tian and Xue Jian had a son named Jing Xiaolou. He also had a disciple named Li Sansi... who is Li Xiaoyao's father.

After that, there was no further description of the Jingtian family genealogy.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Prequel takes place 18 years after the main Legend of Sword and Fairy 3. The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1's story takes place 32 years after the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Prequel.

It's not hard to conclude that fifty years have passed since the main storyline of Chinese Paladin 3 began!

Jing Tian is probably seventy years old now, and even Jing Xiaolou is probably a middle-aged man in his forties.

If Jinxi were truly born into the Jing family, she would at least be Jing Tian's grandchild, or even his great-grandchild!

The Dragon Girl must have accumulated great merit to be reincarnated, and at the very least, she should have a life of joy and happiness... In terms of birth, the Jing family is undoubtedly qualified.

First of all, the Jing family was extremely wealthy in Sichuan, and must have lived a life of luxury.

Secondly, Jing Tian's talent is even more exaggerated than Li Xiaoyao's, and Tang Xuejian's physical body is transformed from a divine fruit, no different from the new gods... It is reasonable that the descendants have such outstanding aptitude and the opportunity to become immortals.

—But isn't this all too much of a coincidence? It just so happens to be the Jing family…

Theoretically speaking, the Book of Life and Death in the Ghost Realm is merely a projection of one of the Nine Springs, the Cold Marrow. No one, including the Three Sovereigns, can interfere with the cycle of reincarnation in the world of Legend of Sword and Fairy.

However, the main god and the infinitely diverse human emperor behind him—Fuxi—are probably not among them.

First of all, the world of Chinese Paladin is a world with a fatalistic view. Without the interference of reincarnation, any coincidence is predetermined.

This is especially true for Jing Tian, ​​who was once a protagonist in the world, and his descendants.

Jin Xi was merely an outsider registered by the main god; she shouldn't have existed in the first place, much less have a predetermined fate. Now, however, she acts as a disruptive factor, influencing the destiny of Jing Tian, ​​one of the main characters…

Fang Ge did not believe that this was the natural evolution of the cold marrow.

Did the main god intervene to force him to do side quests... or did the Human Emperor already have designs on him?
Fang Ge looked up at the sky, feeling as if someone above had made some kind of arrangement.

……

Yuzhou City, Xin'an Pawnshop.

Jing Tian, ​​who is over seventy years old and has white hair and beard, has been busy these days, leading several leading merchants to bring together the charitable organizations—shantang—that have been spontaneously built by merchants from various places.

After all, as people get older, they always have a premonition that their days are numbered and want to accumulate some good deeds before they die.

His life was already fulfilling enough; he had spent his life with the one he loved. His childhood dream had also been realized; thanks to the business of Xin'an Pawnshop, the Jing family was incredibly wealthy. But…

"Ugh--"

The old man sighed and drank his wine in silence.

"It's not too late to regret now."

A deep and magnetic voice entered his ears.

The newcomer had appeared beside Jing Tian without anyone noticing. He was tall and slender, clad in armor, and exuded an air of extraordinary martial prowess… except for a pair of sharp horns on his head and crimson hair, which were somewhat strange, but not unattractive. “What’s there to regret about living a carefree and joyful life?” Jing Tian impatiently pulled out a chair, gesturing for his friend to sit down.

Chonglou wasn't annoyed by his disrespect. He smiled slightly and sat down next to Jingtian, waiting for him to pour him some wine.

“You don’t look carefree at all… So, what brings you here?” Chonglou picked up his wine glass and got straight to the point.

"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me if I tell you this..."

A strange expression appeared on Jing Tian's old face. "My son, Xiao Lou, recently took another concubine..."

"He has his own destiny, and over the years, Xiao Lou has grown into the head of the family. It's normal for men to be attracted to beautiful women, and with the Jing family's wealth and influence, there's nothing wrong with having many children. I'm too lazy to care..."

"As a result, the concubine gave birth a couple of days ago, which should have been a joyous occasion... but some things went wrong."

"Is there anything in the human realm that you can't handle?" Chonglou's crimson eyes narrowed, somewhat surprised.

"The moment the child was born, snow fell heavily... It's August now, and Chongqing has never seen anything like this before."

Jing Tian took a sip of his drink, his expression bitter: "The delivery room was frozen solid, covered in frost. Even with my personal intervention, I could only barely save the lives of her mother and the midwife..."

"In my opinion, that child may have something special about him, possessing an extremely strong yin and cold spiritual power from birth, which is why he has attracted such a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth..."

"She couldn't control herself, and her cold spiritual energy harmed both herself and others... If I hadn't placed her on a piece of warm jade red soul, she probably would have frozen to death!"

Only the Jing family, with its vast wealth and power, could find a piece of "Red Soul" in their treasury large enough to be used as a crib.

Even when the Qionghua Sect forged the Xihe Sword, they did not use so much Crimson Soul.

"You came to find me for this matter?" Chonglou put down his wine cup, guessing what his close friend wanted.

"Hey, otherwise why would I treat you to such fine wine?"

Jing Tian chuckled, "You don't know, Xuejian has been telling me to quit drinking for a long time, and today is the only day I have the chance."

"...You're still the same as always." Chonglou closed his eyes and sensed the source of the icy spiritual energy that Jingtian had described.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, his expression solemn.

"It's impossible that even you can't do anything about it, right?" Jing Tian's expression suddenly changed. He didn't want to encounter the heartbreaking situation of a white-haired person burying a black-haired person in his old age.

"There's something wrong here... That's extremely yin and cold spiritual energy, it shouldn't exist in the human realm, ordinary mortals simply can't withstand it!"

Chonglou's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "My solution is to take her back to the Demon Realm and nurture her with the power of the Flame Wave."

"Go to the Demon Realm?" Jing Tian was clearly dissatisfied with this answer. "The human world is so vast, isn't there a way?"

"With my abilities, what difference is there between the human realm and the demon realm?"

Chonglou said impatiently, "Going to the Demon Realm is fine... Due to her special characteristics, she must constantly replenish her essence with the most yang and strong substances. Otherwise, her physical body will be depleted of blood and energy, and she will become extremely weak. Furthermore, she must begin cultivating as soon as possible, or she will not live to adulthood."

"Such immense spiritual energy of cold marrow, if it were used by someone to replenish their yang energy through yin-yang cultivation, even with a huge difference in cultivation level, it could greatly help that person advance in cultivation, potentially even leading to ascension to immortality..."

"I advise you to give up your dream of being human as soon as possible. I will give you half of my spiritual power to help you achieve immortality."

"Otherwise, when you die of old age, your son will not be able to protect her."

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian remained speechless and frozen in place.

Until... a knock suddenly sounded on the door.

"Li Xiaoyao of Shushan and Fang Ge of Qionghua Sect request an audience with Senior Jingtian."

"Hmph... They really came."

Chonglou snorted coldly, "Jingtian... do you really trust that pot of Shushan white tofu?"
