Chapter 231: Changes in the Soul Silence Mountain Range
The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked by hand.
In the night, Baguatai stands majestically in the center of the Imperial Observatory.
Pei Xuanxi was wearing a black and white Taoist robe and a lotus crown on his head, standing on the edge of the Bagua platform on the top floor of the Zhaixing Tower.
The night wind was blowing coolly, ruffling the black hair beside her ears.
She stood with her hands behind her back, overlooking the capital of Dajin, with a cold look on her beautiful face.
The art of divination is all-encompassing.
From observing the shape and qi, searching for dragon points, to observing the stars and the moon, and deducing celestial phenomena, all are possible.
One of the functions of the Star Picking Tower is to gather the power of the stars to help Pei Xuanxi deduce.
Ever since Su An reminded her that something might happen in the Hunji Mountains, Pei Xuanxi would regularly use the power of the Zhaixing Tower at night to monitor whether there were any abnormalities in the Hunji Mountains.
Although there is nothing unusual about the phenomenon tonight.
But Pei Xuanxi still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
This was a divine perception from a ninth-level magic practitioner, as if something bad was happening.
"Master, where will Sister Shishi live after she joins the sect?"
"Why don't you just live in my building?"
Xie Yun's voice came from behind.
The Embroidery Tower where she lived was three stories high and was located next to the Zhaixing Tower. It was originally Pei Xuanxi's residence.
But because Pei Xuanxi stayed in the Zhaixing Tower all year round, it became Xie Yun's residence.
The space in the embroidery building is quite large, more than enough for one more person to live there.
"You haven't decided to accept her as a disciple yet, why are you in such a hurry to find a place for her to live?"
Pei Xuanxi stood with his back to Xie Yun, his hands behind his back, his eyes closed, sensing the evolution carefully, and spoke in a calm voice.
Hearing this, Xie Yun couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart.
Xie Yun came from a scholarly family.
Although her grandfather was known as the top poet of the Jin Dynasty, poetry is just a minor way to cultivate one's sentiments. No matter how good Xie Qian's poetry and lyrics are, they are ultimately not up to standard.
Before Xie Yun entered the Imperial Observatory.
The Xie family is just a small family, not as good as any other family, but better than any other family.
The title of "Poetry Champion" pales in comparison to that of "Sword Champion" and "Knife Champion".
None of those dignitaries really looked up to Xie Yun's grandfather, who was known as the "poet champion".
But when she entered the Imperial Observatory, especially after she was accepted as a personal disciple by her master.
Which official or nobleman in the capital would not show some courtesy when seeing her grandfather?
There are so many high-ranking officials, princes and nobles in the capital, and every one of them is trying their best to establish a relationship with Master, and wants to send their descendants to Master to become his apprentice and learn skills.
Even His Majesty the Emperor was eager to send all the princes and princesses to the Imperial Observatory for training.
However, Pei Xuanxi was very picky when it came to accepting disciples.
There are strict requirements on character, conduct, talent, and age, and none of them can be missing.
These are just the requirements for recruiting little Taoist children at the Imperial Observatory. These boys and girls are considered registered disciples by Pei Xuanxi.
Pei Xuanxi would only give them some pointers when he was free and in a good mood.
Usually, it is Xie Yun who teaches on his behalf.
The recruitment conditions for a direct disciple like Xie Yun who can always be by Pei Xuanxi's side are much more stringent.
This involves a more mysterious and unspeakable condition.
That is the "secret of heaven".
Sister Shishi is obviously lucky, because she has a special relationship with her junior brother. Because of her love for the master, her path to becoming his disciple will be smooth.
The junior fellow apprentice has come to ask for it in person. It can be said that as long as Sister Shishi doesn't become too lazy and greedy in the future, it is basically a foregone conclusion that she will become Master's disciple and a personal disciple.
This is the power of connections.
The position of a personal disciple is something that even His Majesty the Emperor cannot obtain.
In the eyes of our Master, even the Emperor’s face is not as important as that of my junior brother.
"Then Sister Shishi can live in my embroidery building. It's spacious."
Xie Yun finally decided.
Pei Xuanxi closed his eyes and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.
Suddenly, something moved in her heart.
The next moment, Xie Yun saw that Master opened his eyes.
At the same time, a clear black and white light flashed, and then a Tai Chi Bagua diagram a meter wide appeared in front of Master.
This Tai Chi Bagua diagram can help the master to predict the future. The Tai Chi Bagua contains numerology, and is a magic weapon for prediction comparable to the Zhaixing Tower. It can also be used to defend against enemies. After the Tai Chi Bagua is activated, the defense becomes invincible and impeccable under the Nine Realms.
It has accompanied Master since his humble beginnings, and has become Master's most trusted treasure until today.
As long as Master offers the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, it means something big has happened.
Pei Xuanxi stretched out his hands and held up the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.
"Wow~"
The next moment, the Tai Chi Bagua diagram rose into the air and stretched out into the wind.
The Tai Chi Bagua diagram, which was originally ten feet wide, gradually grew larger until it covered the entire Bagua platform.
Pei Xuanxi clasped his hands together and began to operate the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.
Accompanied by the flashing of black and white lights, the yin and yang fish quickly rotated.
Soon, on the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, the "Zhen" hexagram in the east flashed with light.
"East?"
Xie Yun suddenly looked towards the eastern part of the capital.
The eastern part of Dajin is close to the sea. It is vast and sparsely populated. There are neither fertile plains for farming nor rich mineral resources.
But there is one place that the entire continent cannot ignore.
Soul Silence Mountains.
"Something has changed at Soul Silence Mountain."
The cold voice of Master rang in my ears.
Xie Yun was shocked.
My junior brother really got it right?
Once, the junior fellow apprentice came to remind the master that there might be changes in Hunji Mountain.
Pei Xuanxi tilted his head slightly and looked towards the east, his eyes as bright as glass, with a clear light flickering in his eyes.
Why would the Hunji Mountain formation, which has been as stable as Mount Tai since ancient times, show abnormalities?
Pei Xuanxi was quite puzzled.
Although she has been guarding the capital of Dajin for many years, she is not indifferent to what happens outside the capital.
In fact, she had been monitoring the entire territory of Dajin, and paid extra attention to crucial places like the Soul Silence Mountains.
But nothing has been found wrong over the years.
Until Su An reminded her that there might be changes in the Soul Silence Mountains.
Pei Xuanxi's side increased their monitoring efforts, and regularly used the Zhaixing Tower to remotely monitor the situation in the Hunji Mountains.
After these days of monitoring, Pei Xuanxi just discovered some clues.
But these clues were very subtle, and it was obvious that someone had concealed the secret. Plus, the distance was far, so she could only sense something was wrong with the help of the divination in the Zhaixing Tower.
Pei Xuanxi then made further divinations and used the power of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram before he successfully captured the abnormality of the Soul Silence Mountain Array.
It was just a moment.
Just now, at a certain moment, the power contained in the Soul Silence Array actually weakened a lot.
After that, the formation returned to normal, and no matter how Pei Xuanxi investigated, he did not find anything unusual.
Sure enough there is a problem.
The art of concealing the secrets of heaven also belongs to the art of divination.
The method of divination is unique to Baiyujing.
In other words, Pei Xuanxi met a fellow disciple in white.
And that fellow disciple actually colluded with the evil creatures in the Soul Silence Mountain Range and secretly attacked the formation.
If Su An had not reminded her, she would have had a hard time discovering this fellow disciple who was hiding in the dark and colluding with evil spirits.
It's him?
But why did Su An know all this?
Pei Xuanxi thought for a long time and could only attribute all this to Su Yan.
She couldn't see through either of these father and son.
"Yun'er, I have to go to the Soul Silence Mountains."
"We will discuss the matter of becoming your disciple another day. You can explain the cause and effect to Su An."
Xie Yun nodded seriously.
Although I don’t know what exactly happened, looking at Master’s expression, it must be something big.
As for what Master said, that he could tell Junior Brother about the matter, the implication was that it should be kept secret from Zhou Qingyu and Wang Shishi.
"If anyone comes to visit, just tell them that I am in retreat."
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Xuanxi added.
"If necessary, you can let Shanshen come out and deal with it."
No matter whether it is Pei Heixi or Pei Baixi, as her clones, they both have the strength of a seventh-level celestial being in the magic realm.
If there is anything that requires her to deal with in person, Pei Baixi can also take over.
Compared to Pei Heixi, Pei Xuanxi is more at ease with Pei Baixi.
After explaining these things.
The next moment, a breeze blew by.
Pei Xuanxi's figure disappeared into the night.
