Chapter 376: Defying the Heavens to Change Life

Gu Wei frowned slightly when he saw Zang Qing's expression.

"The one you saw was a person who used witchcraft, right? His surname is Mu?"

Zang Qing pondered.

Gu Wei nodded, "I don't know his last name, but it is definitely witchcraft.

After a pause, Gu Wei continued, "Master, why do I feel like this world is covered with a veil? I can't see its true appearance at all."

Zang Qing's eyes were deep and he sighed.

"You know the Zhou Dynasty, right?"

Gu Wei nodded.

Zang Qing continued, "It is said in ancient times that two stars fell from the sky and blessed the world. It happened that the Leng Mu family gave birth to a pair of twins that year, one was proficient in mechanical devices and the other in divination, so they became the earliest mechanical engineers and high priests of the Zhou Dynasty.

But later, a traitor emerged among the priests, who used the priestly techniques to manipulate evil ways, and the priests gradually declined.

I am a descendant of the Lengmu family of the Zhou Dynasty. My original name should be Lengmu Cangqing. So I am proficient in both mechanical engineering and divination.

The current Nanzhao priest is the descendant of the traitor back then. As for mechanical arts, if I guess correctly, he should only have a superficial understanding of them and is not orthodox."

Gu Wei frowned.

That person's mechanical skills are indeed not very good.

"Master, are you a descendant of one of the nine great families of the Zhou Dynasty?"

Zang Qing nodded.

"You shouldn't be surprised. Haven't you already found the parchment scroll and learned something about them?"

Gu Wei held his forehead with his hand.

"Master, what is there in this world that you don't know?"

Hidden clear curved eyes.

"You didn't learn divination well in the beginning, did you? Divination is a mysterious art. Young people, don't listen to the advice of the elderly."

After saying that, Zang Qing turned and went into his own little house.

No longer pay attention to Gu Wei.

After the heavy sound of a door closing, Zang Qing's voice came from afar, "Don't leave right away. Stay for a few more days and keep me company. We see each other less and less."

Gu Wei stood on the edge of the cliff, thinking about something. The mountain breeze lifted his wide sleeves, making them flutter violently. His handsome eyebrows were shrouded in deep sorrow.

When he heard this, he thought it was just the old man's daily nagging, and just replied with a faint "hmm".

At this time, Gu Wei thought that this was just an ordinary sentence.

Two years later, everything has changed and the place is in ruins.

Only then did he truly understand the meaning of Zang Qing's words and comprehend Zang Qing's complex inner world.

But he never got the chance to answer.

The good things in the world are not solid, glass is easily broken and colorful clouds disperse.

Gu Wei was thinking about what Zang Qing said about Xie Ling’s “great disaster”.

It's not that he doesn't believe Zang Qing, he just doesn't want to accept it.

Gu Wei turned around and went to the library.

When I was young, I was rebellious and believed that my destiny was in my own hands. I had never taken a divination class and thought it was ridiculous to determine a person's life through celestial phenomena.

But now, when it comes to Xie Ling, Gu Wei admits that he is afraid.

What don't you believe?

What's so ridiculous?

All the beliefs of youth were shattered.

He is willing to be a believer of Star Tracks and to learn divination wholeheartedly, just hoping that his lover can be safe.

In the next few days, Gu Wei immersed himself in the library every day.

All the disciples of Tingxue Tower spontaneously developed a feeling of respect for Gu Wei.

Even after passing the Qianlou test, he still loves learning so much.

As expected, he is the young master.

Just be attentive.

Hearing this, Zang Qing picked up his teacup and sneered, "He is not studious at all, he is just a lovesick man."

Half a month later.

Although Gu Wei is not proficient in divination, he can also observe some things through astronomical phenomena.

Late at night, he looked up at the sky.

On the dark blue sky, stars are connected into lines, and the vast Milky Way is surging and twinkling.

The clear mountain breeze seemed to pass through his body, clearing his eyes. All living beings had never appeared so clearly before him.

He saw all living beings, saw their suffering, and saw their helplessness.

All the stars are intertwined and tangled in chaos.

This one was when he was young, experiencing a life-and-death crisis and gradually becoming bleak.

He encountered another scarlet star, which lit up all his star plates and began to twinkle again.

That scarlet star should be Master.

The master's horoscope is too profound for him to see through.

Gu Wei didn't blink until the sky became bright, the sky in the east began to pale, and the stars disappeared, then he gradually came to his senses.

He took a deep breath and shook his head. He had never felt such a headache before.

Every night after that, Gu Wei's tall figure could be seen on the Qingjing Cliff, with a pen and paper, drawing.

Half a month later, he finally sorted out his star track, followed the Red Luan Star, and found Xie Ling's star track.

Her star trajectory is indeed different from that of everyone else on this continent.

Other people’s star tracks and destinies are like the Milky Way, intertwining and surging throughout their lives.

And hers only has one star.

Nothing else.

Gu Wei stared at the star for a whole night. His eyes became sore and he shed tears naturally, but he never looked away.

It was not until a rooster crowed in the distance and the bright morning light shone down that he staggered to Zang Qing's house.

As soon as Zang Qing opened the door, he saw Gu Wei standing in front of the door. His body was covered with dew, his eyes were red and his gaze was unfocused. No one knew what he was thinking.

Zang Qing raised his eyebrows and coughed to wake up Gu Wei's thoughts.

"Why don't you knock on the door?"

Gu Wei said in a hoarse voice, "I am afraid of disturbing Master's rest. Master, is there any way to solve that great difficulty?"

Zang Qing narrowed his eyes.

"You have studied divination for a month, so you should know better than anyone that everything has its own rules. People have a predetermined destiny in this world, and they cannot go beyond that track. If they do, they will be punished. This is destiny."

The young man's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. "I don't believe in fate. Why should a star determine a person's life? How can such a statement be so absurd?"

Zang Qing sighed and shook his head, "You really shouldn't learn divination. I'm really afraid that you will turn the world upside down."

After he finished speaking, he turned away.

Gu Wei returned to the library again and read all the books in it.

Three days.

He didn't eat a single bite of food or drink a single drop of water. His eyes were red from staying up all night, and his long black hair was loose on his shoulders. Even the elders in the library said he was crazy.

At last.

He went up to the seventh floor.

The seventh floor is never open to the public and is guarded by a special person.

But with Gu Wei's skills, it was not difficult to sneak in.

The furnishings on the seventh floor of the library are the same as those on the floors below, except for the books on the shelves.

The books below are all paper books.

The books on the seventh floor are all written on bamboo slips, silk, or oracle bones and tortoise shells.

It is covered with dust, the fonts are messy, and some are even stained with yellow mud. It bears traces of time, as if it came from thousands of years ago.

Beams of light illuminated the dust floating in the air, and the air he breathed was filled with an ancient and old atmosphere. Gu Wei flicked away the accumulated dust on the books and opened them one by one...

The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

The more excited I am.

It turns out that the evil ways of the Leng Mu family are not just about witchcraft...

Three days had passed when Zang Qing received the news that Gu Wei had gone to the forbidden area.

His eyes widened instantly, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, cracks appeared on his usually calm face, and he used lightness skills to fly quickly towards the forbidden area, leaving only a residual image.

The disciples standing still were shocked by Zang Qing's speed.

Master has always been indifferent, drinking tea and planting flowers all day long.

They almost forgot that Zang Qing's martial arts were actually very powerful.

The forbidden area of ​​Listening Snow Tower is in the back mountain, and no disciple has ever been here.

There is no grass growing here, the wasteland is empty and everything is dead, and the wind is so strong that it can almost blow everything over.

It is hard to imagine that such a place could be hidden in Tingxue Tower, a place full of lush vegetation and life.

Countless stone steps extend upward, almost perpendicular to the ground, straight into the sky, there are probably tens of millions of steps.

When Zang Qing arrived, the long steps were already covered with blood.

Drop by drop, it flowed down the long steps. Three days later, it was still bright red and had not dried up.

This means that the person on the long steps has been bleeding all the time.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zang Qing's eyes turned red, and he, who was always cold, couldn't help but swear.

He flew up, but couldn't hold on for more than a dozen steps.

The sound of the wind was like a real knife cutting into the skin.

He fell straight down.

Zang Dan knelt on the ground and cursed his mother.

It's really unlucky to meet such a disciple.

I still have to worry about him at my age.

Zang Qing continued to fly upwards.

Although his martial arts skills are very high, they are still a bit clumsy due to not using them for a long time.

This time, halfway through the difficult journey, he was blown down by a strong west wind and fell once again.

Zang Qing's skin was already covered with bloody marks from the wind blades, and blood was oozing out. Not a single piece of exposed skin was intact.

Just as he was about to fly up again, a slender figure flew down from above.

The young man was dressed in white with his long hair fluttering in all directions. His delicate facial features, due to his pale face, seemed even more fragile, as if they were as fragile as ceramics.

There was a deep wound on his left wrist that was so deep that the bone could be seen, and it was bleeding.

Zang Qing wanted to slap Gu Wei, but when he saw the wounds on Gu Wei's face, he stopped.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and was extremely angry.

"How dare you? You use evil magic to change fate. What's the difference between you and the witches who play with evil ways? For a woman, for a woman, you——"

Gu Wei's eyes were nonchalant, and he had a sense of arrogance, "I love her."

After he finished speaking, Gu Wei closed his eyes and fell backwards, losing too much blood and falling into a coma.

Zang Qing closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

He resigned himself to his fate and carried Gu Wei on his back.

It was already the next day when Gu Wei woke up. His left hand was tightly wrapped in bandages, and he felt a dull pain when he moved it slightly.

He coughed and called out to the figure under the window: "Master, I'm sorry."

Zang Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he woke up.

He asked, "Did you know from the books on the seventh floor that the forbidden area was a place for sacrifices during the Zhou Dynasty?"

Gu Wei nodded with a pale face.

Zang Qing snorted coldly.

"You are amazing. You even learned the art of changing lives. Your little lady is fine now, so you should think about your own funeral."

Gu Wei explained: "Master, the disaster is not necessarily life-threatening. There are many ways to escape it. Besides, I am a martial arts expert, no one can do anything to me."

"you know too!"

Zang Qingli is very serious.

"As long as you take good care of your little lady, what can happen to her?"

Gu Wei tilted his head, "She is not with me now, I am worried."

Zang Qing rolled his eyes, "Then you can't exchange your life with hers! I saved your life, and you ruined it without saying a word. Do you want me to be mad to death?"

Gu Wei coughed, lowered his eyes, and did not dare to look at Zang Qing.

Zang Qing held his forehead and sighed, "Just this once, forget all the secret techniques you saw. If you dare to use them again..."

Zang Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold and stern, "Then I will kill you myself, clean up the family tradition, and eradicate the roots."

Gu Wei nodded, "As long as it doesn't involve her, I won't use it again."

Zang Qing sneered, "Her bad luck is now all on you, what can be the problem? By the way, what did you see on the altar?"

Hearing this, Gu Wei's expression became somewhat complicated.

Even after a day, he still couldn't forget the feeling of standing on the altar.

The altar was very high and the wind was very strong. If it weren't for his extraordinary concentration, he would have been blown off.

But he had never experienced that feeling of being the only one in the world, with the world at his feet.

For a moment, he almost thought that he was the emperor destined by heaven, able to control the mountains and rivers and move mountains and seas.

The world is a chessboard and all things are chess pieces.

And he is the only master.

Gu Wei stared into Zang Qing's eyes, paused, and said two words.

"It's great."

Zang Qing frowned, "What else?"

Gu Wei said slowly: "I am the only one who is supreme."

Zang Qing's eyes were complicated and she said "hmm".

"Lie down on the bed and don't go anywhere."

Return to the house.

Zang Qing silently dug out the wine from under the old peach tree in front of the door.

He doesn't like drinking.

This jar of wine was buried by Jiang Yunzi when he came to visit Tingxue Tower.

Almost twenty years.

As soon as he opened the lid, he smelled a refreshing fragrance that went straight to the top of his head and shook his soul.

He chuckled: "It's really good wine. It seems Jiang Yunzi didn't lie to me."

Thinking about the last time I met Jiang Yunzi, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Zang Qing was a simple person and had few friends in his life, and Jiang Yunzi was one of them.

If they could meet again, he would definitely scold Jiang Yunzi severely, because the good disciple he raised actually kidnapped his own disciple.

He was completely deceived, even willing to climb seven thousand steps for her, shed a thousand layers of blood, draw a line on the ground to make a prison, and change his fate...

Zang Qing took a sip of the liquor and choked, his face turning red and he coughed heart-wrenchingly.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have this opportunity.

Zang Qing held the wine jug, his eyes distant and peaceful.

This incident gave him a completely new understanding of his disciple, who was usually the most well-behaved and clever.

The child appears to be well-behaved, sensible and obedient, but in fact he is unruly and stubborn.

If Jingxuan knew that he and the old man surnamed Pei had been deceiving him for so many years...

There is no telling what this rebellious boy will do.

That's it.

He is also a young man.

It was time to tell him those things.

Zang Qing sat on the edge of the cliff, his white hair flying in the wind, looking at the waves of forest waves blown by the mountain wind, and fell into the distant past...

This time, Gu Wei rested for a full month before he recovered a little bit of his energy and blood.

He has been out for too long, it’s time for him to go back to Sinan.

Before leaving, Zang Qing handed Gu Wei a letter and looked at him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Not until Gu Weidu had gone down the mountain did Zang Qing hurriedly chase him back.

"Take your fellow apprentices with you and go down the mountain to see the world outside."

Gu Wei was puzzled. The rules of Tingxue Tower stated that one must pass the Thousand Towers Test before leaving the tower.

"Master, don't you always pay the most attention to the sect rules?"

Zang Qing said calmly: "You have violated so many rules. I am old and don't want to care about these rules. Take them to see the outside world."

All the disciples of Tingxue Tower were so happy that they cried and wished they could throw Zang Qing away.

God knows how envious they are of that kid Su Qu, who has been showing off Sinan’s delicious food and the beautiful outside world every day since he came back!

Zang Qing's eyes rarely showed a hint of tenderness, "Listen to the eldest brother when you go out, and don't cause trouble for him."

"it is good!"

"Master, don't worry. My senior brother told me to go east, but I dare not go west."

The disciples were talking at once, and no one noticed the sadness deep in Zang Qing's eyes.

So two years later, everyone recalled this day.

The first person that comes to mind is not Zang Qing.

But it is the warm sunshine and gentle mountain breeze.

The white cranes on Fuyao Mountain made elegant calls; standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the trees on the mountain were swaying together, like a blue sea.

As the frozen time gradually thawed, they remembered the great sorrow hidden behind Zang Qing's gentle smile.

Across time, like a sharp sword, it pierced them all over.

The moment Gu Wei turned around.

Zang Qing said loudly: "Jingxuan, you are actually quite right. Divination is the most hateful art in the world."

Gu Wei was puzzled.

Zang Qing waved his hand and his expression returned to its cold and sullen state.

"Remember, fate cannot be reversed, and everything has a traceable path."

Before Gu Wei could reply, Zang Qing turned around.

Gu Wei went down the mountain in confusion.

He was not in a hurry to go back this time, so he planned to take a boat to let his fellow apprentices broaden their horizons.

As soon as he got on the boat, Gu Wei took out the letter given by Zang Qing.

The master never wrote to me, and he even said he would open it after he came down the mountain.

Gu Wei opened it puzzled.

There were only a few big words written on the empty letter.

"Go to Qinghe to find your grandfather."
