Chapter 679: A Glimpse of the Whole Picture
Late at night.
Ye Chen knocked on the door of Monk Mingxin's room.
"Brother Ye, why are you not sleeping at night and running into my room?"
Monk Mingxin opened the door with a vigilant look on his face.
Why are you so vigilant? Can I eat you... Ye Chen complained in his heart, and then smiled, "I can't sleep, so I came to have tea and chat with you."
As soon as the voice fell, before Monk Mingxin refused, Ye Chen squeezed in sideways.
Monk Mingxin was helpless and had to close the door.
Ye Chen sat at the desk and took out the tea set from the ring.
With a flick of his finger, a burst of ancient flame appeared under the teapot and began to boil tea.
To boil tea with strange fire, you must have extremely exquisite control, and it is difficult for alchemists with weak foundation to do this.
Monk Mingxin was also happy when he saw it, "I am honored to have the ancient flame that is very likely to be ranked first on the strange fire list in the future to make tea for me."
"This tea is also the leaves of the thousand-year-old tea tree. It is harvested once every thousand years, and only about one kilogram can be harvested from each harvest. It is also very precious."
While making tea, Ye Chen looked up at Monk Mingxin, "You saw some clues about what happened today, but you didn't say it, right?"
"What aspect do you mean, Brother Ye?"
Monk Mingxin was slightly surprised in his heart, but he pretended to be stupid on the surface.
As a monk, not telling lies is the most basic requirement.
"Okay, there is nothing hidden between the two of us. Since you have noticed something, come and tell me."
Seeing that the tea was almost cooked, Ye Chen took out a cup and poured a cup of tea for Monk Mingxin and pushed it over.
Monk Mingxin continued to play dumb, "Brother Ye, I really don't understand what you are talking about."
"You must ask me to clarify, right? Today, when Jing Zhongyue held the Longquan Sword, I noticed that your eyes were different, and you obviously noticed something, but you have never seen Jing Zhongyue before, let alone the Longquan Sword, so what do you know?"
Ye Chen simply stopped talking and got straight to the point.
The words were made clear, and Monk Mingxin continued to play dumb, which was unreasonable.
Helpless, he could only face it.
"Brother Ye, why do you have to pursue these?"
Monk Mingxin saw that Ye Chen was very persistent and sighed slightly.
"This Longquan sword was given to me by a woman in white. She told me to treat it well. Jing Zhongyue has now joined my Tiandao Sect. These two things are inseparable from me anyway, so I must know the whole story, otherwise, I will not feel at ease."
Ye Chen looked serious, "What is the relationship between Jing Zhongyue and the woman in white who gave me the sword? What kind of secret is hidden in the Longquan sword?"
Mingxin monk hesitated several times. He looked up and met Ye Chen's eyes.
After a few breaths, Mingxin monk smiled bitterly. He raised his hand and dipped it in tea, and slowly wrote on the table, "This matter is very troublesome, involving three aspects in total."
Six big characters were written on the table: Dao, Qiyun, Tianji!
"Dao, Qiyun, Tianji?"
Ye Chen frowned, very puzzled.
He raised his head again and looked at Monk Mingxin, "Master, please explain in detail."
You call me monk when you have nothing to do and Master when you have something to do. You are too real... Monk Mingxin touched his nose and continued, "If I am right, the woman in white and Jing Zhongyue should be the same person."
Sure enough, it is exactly the same as my guess... Ye Chen's heart was burning, and he continued to ask, "Since they are the same person, why does Jing Zhongyue have no memory of this? The woman in white is a mark. She was stranded there many years ago, holding the Longquan sword and handed it to the destined person. This does not match Jing Zhongyue's age at all."
"So I said before that these three points are involved."
Monk Mingxin pointed to the desk again and said in a secretive way, "These three points can only be achieved by people with great means, and they have to plan many years in advance. I guess that at least the existence of the Great Emperor level can be qualified to plan."
"Great Emperor?"
Ye Chen was shocked.
Although Monk Mingxin's words were a bit obscure, Ye Chen still understood his basic meaning.
Behind Jing Zhongyue and the woman in white, there was an existence at the level of the Great Emperor who participated in the plan.
"The Great Emperor has already stood at the top of the Qinglian Realm. What is the so-called plan? Are Jing Zhongyue and the woman in white the pawns of the Great Emperor? What is the ultimate goal?"
Ye Chen asked questions in a serious manner.
Monk Mingxin sighed, "Brother Ye, I can't reveal these things too clearly, because it can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of the person behind the plan. With our current strength, it's best not to get involved rashly."
"The Great Dao, luck, and heavenly secrets."
Ye Chen's face sank, and he analyzed word by word, "The word Great Dao should refer to the pursuit of the Great Dao. Everyone is pursuing the Great Dao, and the Great Emperor is no exception; as for luck... The existence of the Great Emperor level can never lack luck, because he has already stood at the height he should have. Those who lack luck can't become the Great Emperor."
"But since the Great Dao and destiny are put together, it means that the emperor must not be satisfied with the present and must want to pursue more... As for the secrets of heaven, all things operate according to the law. The number of emperors has always been fixed. In the final analysis, it is because there is not enough destiny. The rules of heaven and earth have some restrictions on this. It can only be divided equally among each emperor. But if you want to go further and get more destiny, you can only use means to conceal the secrets of heaven and earth and steal the day..."
"Be careful with your words!"
Mingxin monk's face changed drastically, and he suddenly made a move to seal Ye Chen's mouth.
Ye Chen was delighted in his heart. Mingxin monk was so excited that it just showed that he guessed right.
Of course, these guesses are not aimless.
Since the first time he peeked into the rules of heaven and earth in the virtual world, Ye Chen has been trying to understand these powers beyond the mortal world. Combining the theories of emperors and destiny, and stepping into the realm of life and death, and accepting the inheritance of Wuchen's 'Heaven and Earth Alchemy Method', he naturally has a deeper understanding of all this.
In addition, Mingxin monk wrote those six words before.
He thought that what he said was rather obscure and Ye Chen could not understand it, but who would have thought that Ye Chen had already tried to analyze it all. Those six words helped him piece together all the fragments in his mind, and naturally formed a complete set of logic.
And Monk Mingxin was also exposed in a hurry.
"So, I guessed right?"
Ye Chen's eyes sparkled, and he transmitted his voice, "The emperor was not satisfied with his current position, so he used means to conceal the secrets of heaven, manipulated the woman in white and the moon in the well, and used them as pawns to strive for more luck. If he succeeded, it would eventually give back to the emperor himself, allowing him to go further!"
"And the emperor's goal is... a world of great contention!"
"Amitabha."
Monk Mingxin smiled bitterly.
He never expected that Ye Chen could see the whole picture from a glimpse, and he realized so many things from it.
