I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

What? ? ?

Ye Hongling didn't understand.

Until now, she didn't even know Nian Chaoxi's identity, let alone the grudge between Nian Chaoxi and the junior brother she mentioned.

Just as he was wondering, he heard Nian Chaoxi ask, "Do you know the secret of heaven?"

"Know!"

Ye Hongling nodded: "The Way of Heavenly Secrets, asking for divination, predicting good and bad luck, exploring the past, and peeping into the future, is the most mysterious way besides the Six Paths."

"Then do you know why there are so few people practicing the Tianji Dao?" Nian Chaoxi asked again.

"This one……"

Ye Hongling thought for a moment: "The Way of Heavenly Secrets requires the approval of Heavenly Dao, and the Way of Heavenly Secrets is most likely to encounter Heavenly Punishment. At the very least, lifespan will be exhausted, and at the worst,..."

"Haunted by retribution, a life of loneliness and misery, there will be no escape for eternity." Nian Chaoxi said, shaking his head and smiling:

"You must have heard that encountering the mysteries of heaven is ominous, right?"

Ye Hongling was silent.

But in the end he nodded.

The Tianji Dao is the path most likely to be contaminated by cause and effect and suffer divine punishment. Many well-known powerful people in the Tianji Dao are no exception in the end.

No happy ending!

In fact, it's not just you who will have a bad end.

Many cultivators of the Tianji sect are even destined to be unlucky. Before they die a good death, they will also harm the people around them.

At least for now.

I have never heard of any cultivator who practices the way of Tianji being able to enjoy a peaceful old age.

Suddenly.

Ye Hongling seemed to have thought of something and looked at Nian Chaoxi in surprise.

But Nian Chaoxi nodded: "I am a celestial master!"

This……

Ye Hongling was stunned, and almost subconsciously wanted to move away.

This is human nature, and it is not even under her control.

Fortunately.

Nian Chaoxi didn't seem to care, and said to himself, "In the way of Heavenly Secrets, the most taboo thing is actually to reveal Heavenly Secrets. Once Heavenly Secrets are revealed, it will be contaminated by karma."

"But if a celestial master can truly keep his mouth shut, it won't actually have much of an impact on those around him. However, there are very few celestial masters who can do this."

Ye Hongling nodded, she understood this principle.

As long as you don't reveal the secret, divine punishment will not come down for no reason, nor will it implicate the people around you.

but……

Everyone understands the principle, but few can actually put it into practice.

A simple example.

The master of Tianji knew clearly that going forward would lead to disaster, and the people close to him were about to move forward. Who could abide by the rules and watch those close to him fall into the abyss?

"You must have always been cared for by the sect, right?" Nian Chaoxi suddenly asked.

Ye Hongling was puzzled, but nodded anyway.

She is a genius who is being cultivated with emphasis by Tian Ce Mansion, and is indeed loved by her senior brothers and uncles in Tian Ce Mansion. Although the tests in Tian Ce Mansion are extremely harsh, she has encountered many dangers.

But to be honest.

She has always been the most favored junior sister in Tiance Mansion.

But Nian Chaoxi sighed and muttered to himself:

"I am the eldest sister of a sect. I am respected and loved by everyone. My younger sisters and brothers all regard me as an idol and an elder."

"Can……"

"After I entered the Tianji Dao, all that respect and admiration gradually turned into isolation and estrangement."

“At that time, I was only ten years old.”

This……

Ye Hongling was stunned.

Although she had not experienced all of this, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed for Nian Chaoxi in front of her.

For a child who is only ten years old.

From being a beloved and respected eldest sister, she became an unknown and avoided person in the blink of an eye.

Imagine.

How cruel all this was for a child who was only ten years old.

"At that time, everyone in the sect was deliberately distancing themselves from me. Over time, I became the person no one in the sect wanted to get close to."

"But actually, I'm not a solitary person. On the contrary, I like the enthusiasm of my junior sisters and the care of my master."

"I'm afraid of being isolated, afraid that everyone will look at me with fear, and afraid that I'll become the most withdrawn person in the sect."

"But all this."

"I can't change, and I can't change."

"Because when I stepped into the path of Tianji, it was destined. This is my destiny."

After hearing this, Ye Hongling pursed her lips and tried to speak to comfort her several times.

But in the end, he still kept the words out.

Because I think about what I said every morning and evening.

it is true.

The secret of heaven is unknown when encountered.

This is the most widely circulated saying, but it is also a mountain of prejudice that cannot be moved or explained.

It cannot be changed.

"Fortunately, I have a good junior brother."

But Nian Chaoxi smiled and said, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes:

"My junior fellow apprentice is loved by everyone in the sect and is a well-behaved and sensible child."

"But the only thing he didn't do was ignore my senior sister's advice and my master's warning, and took the initiative to approach me and treat me as a friend who could talk about anything."

"When he was little, he liked to come to my cold attic when he had nothing to do, and talk to me about his dreams and the interesting things he had encountered."

"He even took the initiative to help me more than once, reversing the isolation my fellow apprentice sisters and master had placed on me."

"Even as he grew older and understood more and more, he remained unchanged."

"He often goes out for training, but every time he does, he brings me small gifts. He also lies with me on the Star Terrace, just like when we were little."

"While watching the stars with me, he told me about his experiences outside, the enemies he met, the friends he made, and the interesting things he encountered..."

When Nian Chaoxi said this, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Even Ye Hongling was pleasantly surprised when she heard this: "Senior, your junior fellow apprentice is indeed very good!"

"Yes, very good, he is really good." Nian Chaoxi smiled: "That was the happiest time of my life."

"and after?"

"Later..." Nian Chaoxi's face darkened: "Later, I let him down..."

"How to say?"

"My junior brother went to a dangerous place and stayed there for many, many years, even exceeding the lifespan of many people."

This……

The smile on Ye Hongling's face faded, and she vaguely guessed what Nian Chaoxi had encountered.

really.

"With the departure of my junior brother, the person closest to me in the sect disappeared. And because of his departure, those junior sisters who were willing to let down their guard and reconnect with me because of him also began to distance themselves from me again."

"Even after this, I will work hard to prove my ability and make contributions to the sect."

"but……"

"I still can't move that mountain, and I still can't change the fate of the Tianji Master."

Ye Hongling frowned immediately: "How can this be? You are their senior sister and a fellow disciple!"

In response, Nian Chaoxi just smiled.

The smile is complicated.

"What happened after that? Senior, your junior brother should have come back, right?" Ye Hongling couldn't help but ask.

"came back."

"Then he..."

"But when he came back, he became a different me."

"Ah?" Ye Hongling was stunned, a little confused.

"Even after he returned, he was not as good as me." But he heard Nian Chaoxi say bitterly:

"Something happened to him, and for some reason, he became another me, or rather, he became a person even more unpopular than me."

what?

Ye Hongling was surprised and a little bit unbelievable.

After all, according to what Nian Chaoxi said, the junior brother she mentioned should have been very popular, so why was he being rejected and isolated instead?

but……

"and after?"

What Ye Hongling was more interested in was what happened afterwards: "Senior, your junior fellow apprentice is back, and he's not popular. You two should be able to support each other, right?"

This is the best result.

Senior sisters and students support and help each other, and then find a way out. This is the happy ending in all the storybooks.

only……

"I……"

"I failed him."

Thinking of the past day and night, I feel sad.

Ye Hongling didn't understand.

But I heard Nian Chaoxi say sadly:

"After returning, my junior brother encountered many things, a lot of injustices, and a lot of targeting and bullying."

"I have always used the excuse that I was in seclusion to ignore these problems, or even pretended they didn't exist."

"Can……"

“Although I cultivate the way of heavenly secrets, although I stay away from people, although I have always been alone.”

"But I'm someone who longs for warmth. How could I really not know anything?"

Varied……

What? ? ?

Ye Hongling suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her in surprise.

But I heard Nian Chaoxi say sadly:

"I'm sorry, Junior Brother."

"it's me."

"Those who betrayed their junior fellow apprentice."

"also me."

"I'm just an ostrich hiding in the shadows with my head in the sand."

"Whenever I encounter a problem, I pretend to know nothing. When I see any injustice, I hope the conflict doesn't get worse, and then I still don't care, or even..."

"I have hoped more than once that you, like me, would be more patient and consider the overall situation."

"But what is the reality?"

At this point, a line of tears flowed from his eyes as he thought of the past.

"I……"

"He's the real villain!"
