Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Even if fate has thousands of shackles, it can never trap the people with destiny. It seems to be the same in reverse. People with destiny can never be trapped by fate with thousands of shackles. It's nothing more than life and death!

To live, one must go against the will of Heaven and change one's fate; to die, one must obey the will of Heaven and accept the fate. This is the difference between the chosen ones and the rest of the world. Only the chosen ones have two choices, while the rest of the world has only one choice, which is to obey the will of Heaven and accept the fate. It is difficult for them to die in the end. There is still a death calamity in the realm of Dao Heng's longevity. Perhaps this is the reason, it is God's will!

The person who can light up life and death at the same time is the chosen one.

The chosen son of heaven will follow his destiny, and no one will stop him. But if he goes against heaven and changes his fate, countless people will oppose him and even kill him, because those who benefit from heaven will not be allowed to change their current destiny, such as the Ji family.

What is the essence of defying fate and changing destiny?

What has changed is the rules of the world, the structure of the underworld forces, and the fate of everyone.

How could the Ji family possibly allow this? Even the Ten Thousand Demon Sect wouldn't allow it. Once the balance of the world was broken, everyone would be annihilated in this catastrophe.

Of course Shen Yichen didn't know about these things, but someone knew. Yi Xuan, the handsome pretty boy and the owner of Tian Xianglong, knew something about it.

In fact, Ji Xuanyan in black also knew it, but her heart was conflicted. Her attitude towards Shen Yichen was that she wanted Shen Yichen to obey the will of heaven, but she also wanted Shen Yichen to defy the will of heaven and change his fate. However, Guanxingshan chose to let Shen Yichen obey the will of heaven, while Ji Xuanyan in black wanted Shen Yichen to have the ability to defy the will of heaven and change his fate. As for what Shen Yichen would choose in the end, Ji Xuanyan in black did not know.

However, Ji Xuanyan in black knew very well in her heart that the heart of the chosen one would be activated one day. What she could do was to make Shen Yichen be able to make his own choice when his heart of the chosen one awakened!

At the ancient pavilion on the road, Yixuan pointed at Shen Yichen, so shocked that he was speechless.

"What am I? What's wrong with me? Is my life bad?"

Shen Yichen was also surprised at this moment. Yixuan's reaction was too intense.

Yixuan remained silent for a long time. Finally, like Shen Yichen, he shook his head, rubbed his eyes, picked up the Tianxianglong on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Qingchen, your future path will be a mixture of life and death. If you live, you will be a dragon roaming the heavens, looking down upon the world. If you die, you will be a dragon sinking into the cold abyss, your blood flowing like a river. But regardless of life or death, you are destined to be a dragon, not a worm!"

After Yi Xuan finished speaking, the Tian Xiang Long in his hand turned into a Tian Xiang Ring, which he wore on his wrist. There were still eight words on the surface:

The sky and the earth are dark yellow, life and death are yin and yang!

"You, what on earth are you?"

"Tian Xianglong, a little gadget!"

Yixuan looked at Shen Yichen's surprised expression. It was obvious that Shen Yichen didn't take the fortune-telling seriously. Yixuan not only didn't mind, he even wanted Shen Yichen to forget about it. He just wanted to know the result. To be precise, this was best kept as a secret that belonged only to him.

Shen Yichen really didn't take the fortune-telling words seriously. Yixuan's words were obviously just to please him.

"Is there something wrong with the changes in Tian Xiang Long just now? Why are you so shocked? Did I break Tian Xiang Long?"

Shen Yichen wanted to know why Yixuan looked shocked.

"It's nothing. Tian Xiang Long can really predict a person's life and death. You lit up the word 'death', which means Brother Qing Chen is really doomed to die. You'd better be more careful. If you are really worried, you can stay with me for a while. Tian Xiang Long can show you the direction of life and can also eliminate disasters for you!"

Shen Yichen looked at Yixuan's smile. For a moment, he really couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false. It was certain that his journey in the martial arts world was full of disasters and tribulations, but it was really an exaggeration that Tian Xianglong could predict that he would die!

"Brother Yixuan, since I'm facing a mortal crisis, I won't burden you any more. Life and death are determined by fate. Only after you've overcome this mortal crisis can you know whether you're a dragon or a worm!"

Shen Yichen rejected Yixuan's kindness, which might not have been a good intention, because the words of death came from Yixuan's mouth.

"Don't worry, Brother Qingchen. You're thinking too much. I'm just speaking the truth. You don't need to be so wary of me. I'm only describing Tian Xianglong's changes and the results as recorded in the book. I haven't exaggerated, concealed, or lied!"

After Yixuan finished speaking, he turned and looked at the mountains under the setting sun. He was obviously a little unhappy, but Shen Yichen did not respond or explain.

"The heart is as deep as the abyss. It may appear pure, but in reality it is a prison. It is not easy to escape from the prison you have set for yourself!"

Someone came to the pavilion on the ancient road again. Before the person got off the car, the sound was transmitted into the pavilion first.

Shen Yichen and Yixuan looked at each other. Both of them felt that the words were referring to themselves. They turned their heads to look outside the pavilion and touched their chests at the same time because they both felt like vomiting again.

The person who jumped out of the carriage was the elegant middle-aged man in the wheelchair, holding a book in his hand.

What disgusted Shen Yichen and the others was the man pushing the wheelchair. His snot just dripped onto his lips and wouldn't fall back. The demented man pushing the wheelchair was licking his snot, and it looked like it smelled very good.

At this moment, Shen Yichen felt that this person was even more disgusting than the two little girls who ate plain noodles with chopped green onions.

"My two young friends, you have great talents and good looks, but unfortunately, you don't have free and easy hearts!"

The elegant middle-aged man sighed softly, lowered his head to look at the book in his hand, and was pushed into the pavilion by the demented man, facing the mountains.

Yixuan bowed and said softly:

"I am Yixuan, a junior, and I have just entered the Yanquan Jianghu. I would like to know what your name is, senior?"

"Senior! These two words sound too much like the jianghu. I'm a scholar, so you should just call me sir!"

After the elegant middle-aged man finished speaking, he closed the book in his hand, looked up into the distance, and smiled.

Shen Yichen was slightly taken aback when he heard this. Wasn't this what the old scholar Shi Xihu said? It's true that Shi Xihu and the person in front of him had a similar temperament. Both of them exuded the aura of scholars and the fragrance of books.

Shen Yichen also bowed and asked respectfully:

"Sir, we are new to Yanquan. Could you please give us a brief introduction to the Yanquan world?"

The elegant middle-aged man seemed not to hear, but was talking to himself:

"I haven't been here for years. I've read thousands of books, but I've traveled thousands of miles less. I've traveled thousands of miles, but I've read fewer books. It's such a contradiction!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan looked at each other, not knowing what the elegant middle-aged man meant.

"You two young friends must have read thousands of books before deciding to embark on this journey into the martial arts world and travel thousands of miles, right?"

Yixuan smiled slightly and responded:

"Sir, reading and traveling are not about quantity, but about application. I don't read much, but I can travel a thousand miles!"

Shen Yichen did not respond. He had read books, but only before he was five years old. Since he entered the Guanxing Mountain, he had never read a book again. There was not a single book on the mountain.

The elegant middle-aged man turned to look at Shen Yichen, obviously waiting for Shen Yichen's answer.

Shen Yichen was embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he responded:

"Sir, when you walk along the mountain, you look at the mountain; when you stand by the water, you look at the water. The road is under your feet, and the reading is in your heart. I have no books in my heart, and no road under my feet, but I have a heart and feet, and that is enough!"

Poof!

Yixuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The elegant middle-aged man was also taken aback, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said calmly:

"It's just a matter of time, but do you two really think so? One sees a mountain, but another in his heart. The other has a mountain in his heart, but no mountain in his eyes. My two friends, the answers you seek should not be in your hearts, but in the road under your feet and in the books of the world. There's no use in overthinking, and there's no use in worrying too much!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were both shocked. The elegant middle-aged man really hit the nail on the head. They both had too many mysteries in their hearts that they didn't know how to solve, and they had been troubled for a long time.

The elegant middle-aged man took out two books, stroked them gently, and continued:

"We are fortunate to meet today, so I will give you a book!"

The elegant middle-aged man handed each of them a book with an interesting title!

My Life Path

Shen Yichen and Yixuan both thought that the book described the past life of an elegant middle-aged man. When they opened it, they were dumbfounded. The book was blank.

"My two young friends, please write down your thoughts in this book, speak with a pure heart, and walk without worries. The world is wonderful, and life will be wonderful too!"

After the elegant middle-aged man finished speaking, the demented man pushed his wheelchair and left the pavilion on the ancient road.

Shen Yichen and Yixuan didn't understand what the carriage meant until it drove away. Then they realized what was going on and turned around and bowed at the same time!

"Thank you sir!"
