    Hongjun hid in a collapsed wall with the ghost king and Yuzaoyun. Looking out, Hongjun was holding a chain of thousand apocalypses in his hands and saw Yuan Kun walking down the altar with his back facing everyone.

    "Did they find out?" Hongjun asked Yuzaoyun.

    Yuzaoyun was very puzzled, shook his head slowly, and replied: "It doesn't seem to be, you were too confused when you started."

    Hongjun looked towards the direction where the exorcists had evacuated, and after hesitating for a moment, Yuzaoyun said, "Chasing them?"

    Hongjun's mind is full of scenes of Li Jinglong desperately fighting, what is this guy thinking? There are times when you are so uncomfortable?

    Hongjun looked back on the ghost king and said: "The injury of the ghost king is important, go first!"

    Yuzaoyun turned into a human, and left with Hongjun, supporting the ghost king, and hurried away.

    Luo Yang Exorcism Division.

    "Are you crazy?!" Morigen said angrily.

    Li Jinglong's face and body were full of blood, sitting exhaustedly on the collapsed steps in front of the Exorcist, and could not help panting, with doubts and flashes in his eyes.

    Qiu Yongsi said: "You can't save people. Don't take your own life in. Long history. You have to reflect."

    "I see." Li Jinglong said with his eyes closed.

    "Follow Fox King's plan." Ah Tai said, "At this time, it's useless to be anxious."

    Li Jinglong leaned against the pillar, raised his hand to press his eyebrows, and slowly said: "General Guo Ziyi is on his way to Luo Yang. I'm afraid I can't persuade them with a letter. It's best to get rid of them before then. "

    Lu Xu's arm was injured by a short-term cut with a shuriken when he fought Yuan Kun. Morigen was bandaging him at the moment.

    "Isn't it just a temptation?" Lu Xu said, "How did you become a real hands-on?"

    "Ask him." Morigen said helplessly.

    Li Jinglong said: "Remember how he discovered us?"

    The people were originally well hidden. According to Yuzaoyun's intelligence, they avoided the surveillance of Asuka and quietly came to the vicinity of Yanqing Hall. Qingxiong apparently didn't know they were coming and was interrogating Hongjun. But just before Li Jinglong started his hand, Yuan Kun still saw their sneak attack through mana, came to the altar and pointed out where Li Jinglong was hiding.

    "He saw it." Li Jinglong frowned and said solemnly, "Yuan Kun is always staring at us."

    In front of the Earth Vein Array, the place where the original magic treasure was stored was empty. Qingxiong looked at the scene in front of him, unable to believe his eyes.

    "Where is the variable?" Qingxiong trembled.

    "It's impossible." Yuan Kun panted, pressing his forehead with three fingers, holding a wooden staff in one hand, "Li Jinglong must die today! How did he escape?"

    Qingxiong turned around suddenly, stared at Yuan Kun, and asked, "Where is the magic weapon?"

    "I can only see the future, I can't see the past." Yuan Kun said slowly, "under the appearance, something must be wrong."

    "How did you tell me back then?" Qingxiong no longer calmed down for a while, and became nervous.

    Yuan Kun said: "Hongjun's existence is a trap. You tell him that the trial will be on the third day of March, that is, two days later. The Fox King will inform him and Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong decided to do it in advance. Taking advantage of the second time, you When Hongjun is arraigned, Li Jinglong will do his best to come and rescue him..."

    "At this time, the magic circle is activated to remove Li Jinglong in one fell swoop." Qingxiong said solemnly, "What did you see?"

    "I saw his death." Yuan Kun said, "I saw Li Jinglong dying in front of the altar, the war dead ghost king and the nine-tailed fox king came to wait for an opportunity to steal the Zhanxian flying knife, and was burned to death by the earth vein array."

    "But no!" Qingxiong said almost irritably, "Where did Drought Demon go?!"

    Yuan Kun replied: "This is indeed the future I see, which has been changed again. Impossible! Why on earth?"

    Qingxiong said solemnly: "I don't care why I change it! Tell me, what should I do next?"

    After Yuan Kun was attacked by Li Jinglong on the Sacred Mountain of Snowstorm, his strength was extremely weak, swaying and almost standing unsteadily. He said in a deep voice, "It will take a while to activate the spell. Can you glimpse the way of heaven again, what do you want to see?

    Qingxiong scrutinized Yuan Kun, and at this moment Yuan Kun threw the question back to him, with Yuan Kun's mana at this time and one last chance, let him choose what he saw.

    Qingxiong did not answer, turned around and walked out of the underground magic circle.

    Luo Yang, inside the big house.

    "They are in the ruins of the Exorcist Division." Yuzaoyun whispered, "In the past?"

    Hongjun was in the Exorcist Division last night, but today Li Jinglong passed by with the exorcists. Hongjun helped the ghost king to escape from Luo Yang Palace and chose this mansion to temporarily rest.

    Hongjun pondered for a moment, but still decided not to meet with Li Jinglong first. After all, no one knows whether Yuan Kun can predict what will happen in the future, but at least through Li Jinglong’s trial, he understands one thing-Yuan Kun only I can see the "facts" that are about to happen, but I can't see everyone's actions anytime and anywhere.

    For example, he focused all his attention on the exorcists, ignoring the future of Hongjun and Yuzaoyun, and the ghost king stealing Zhanxianfeidao. The current situation is still favorable for them. As long as they don't rendezvous with Li Jinglong before the trial, Yuan Kun will not be able to find that the current "Hongjun" is faked by Du Hanqing.

    Once Li Jinglong knows that "Hongjun" trapped under Qingxiong is a fake, maybe he will be easily spotted in his future actions.

    "So, today Han Qing asked to see Qingxiong in person." Hongjun asked Yuzaoyun, "Is it all arranged by Jinglong?"

    Yuzaoyun said "Um" and replied, "I kept the fact that you got away last night and let him think of a way for us."

    Yuzaoyun detailed what happened to Li Jinglong the night before, only telling him that Hongjun was imprisoned and that the chain of thousands of chances could not be broken, so Li Jinglong helped with the plan. So Li Jinglong designed a series of mental activities from Qingxiong for "Hongjun", and planned to take the opportunity to take risks with Qiu Yongsi and others to rescue Hongjun.

    "In other words," Hongjun said suddenly, "if Han Qing were not there, today's situation would become..."

    Thinking of this, Hongjun couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. Without Du Hanqing posing as himself, he would not have come out to act with the ghost king and Yuzaoyun. The two demon kings would be burned to death in the earth vein formation and come to rescue. His Li Jinglong is bound to die in front of himself under the altar.

    "Is this what Qingxiong said, the trap they set up?" Hongjun murmured, "but why did everyone survive?"

    "Because of you." Ghost King said lightly beside him, "hasn't all this already happened?"

    Hongjun shook his head and raised his hand. He was hazy, as if he had grasped an idea, but said it was not true.

    "Did Yuan Kun expect this?" Qiu Yongsi and Li Jinglong sat side by side in the courtyard.

    Lu Xu said, “People who don’t have enough brains will hear you talk about Kunshen. It’s so exhausting. I won’t have a meeting anymore.”

    Yu Province said: "I don't understand, it's too complicated."

    Morigen sent the two to go first, leaving Li Jinglong, Ah Tai, Qiu Yongsi, and Morigen to ponder among the ruins of the Exorcist Division. At this moment, a touch of white came into the courtyard silently, but it was Yuzaoyun who came, squatting in the courtyard, quietly looking at Li Jinglong.

    "Fox King?"

    "Fox King." The crowd greeted Yuzaoyun.

    Yuzaoyun said: "I'll tell you a word."

    Li Jinglong raised his eyebrows and motioned to Yuzaoyun to say if he had something to say. For a while, everyone's eyes focused on it.

    "Yuan Kun saw the scene of your sneak attack today." Yuzaoyun said slowly.

    "Definitely." Qiu Yongsi replied, "Otherwise, there will be no magic circle where the altar and time suddenly stop. This is what he and Qingxiong are waiting for."

    Morigen: "But he didn't tell Qingxiong before, but chose to show the warning before we started."

    Qiu Yongsi said: "Because he wants to prevent the possibility of all variables, the more people who know the future, the easier..."

    Li Jinglong motioned everyone to be quiet and listened to Yuzaoyun.

    Yuzaoyun nodded and said: "We guess that he foresaw the conversation between Hongjun and Qingxiong today and foresee your sneak attack, but at the last moment, what he foresaw was definitely not your successful evacuation."

    Li Jinglong said: "Yes! We are also discussing this matter! At the last moment, someone..."

    "Shhh." Yuzaoyun said suddenly.

    Everyone suddenly looked at Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong raised his eyebrows slightly, and his facial expressions became subtle.

    Qiu Yongsi suddenly asked: "Have you got the flying knife?"

    "I got it." Yuzaoyun said calmly, "Originally, I and the ghost king, I thought, we would die in the earth vein formation, which is what we couldn't figure out."

    Li Jinglong suddenly stopped speaking, and there was a long silence in the courtyard.

    Finally Yuzaoyun said: "We can't figure it out, maybe you can figure it out, go."

    With that, Yuzaoyun turned around and left the ruins of the Exorcist Division.

    Everyone looked at each other, and Morigen asked, "What happened at the last moment?"

    At the moment Yuan Kun cast the sky-defying spell, everyone was forcibly imprisoned by time. Morigen stared at the top of the sky, unable to turn his head. Lu Xu, Qiu Yongsi and others were all focused, focusing on Hongjun in the center of the altar. , No one has seen what happened in the hurricane.

    "Someone broke the cause and effect." Li Jinglong murmured, "saved us and the two demon kings."

    "Who is it?" Morigen frowned.

    Li Jinglong said: "It doesn't matter who it is, the key is...I think...I understand! Just like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly technique...I went back to the past and changed the cause and effect of Liu Qi for the first time. This is the second time... You have to find that node!"

    "Did you succeed?" Ah Tai said a little dazedly, "Anyway, we all survived."

    "No." Li Jinglong said, "We haven't really survived. Now we are in a ‘possibility’. We must decide it thoroughly before it becomes inevitable!"

    Qiu Yongsi said: "What will happen without a thorough decision?"

    "I don't know." Li Jinglong spread his hands and said, "Maybe we will still die."

    "Wait..." Even Morigen's brain started to run out, and said, "What are you talking about?"

    Ah Tai said, "I couldn't understand them since Yuzaoyun appeared."

    The first four exorcists were all first-class, but by this time, the wisdom of Li Jinglong and Qiu Yongsi finally had a higher difference. But this time Li Jinglong didn't pretend to be mysterious, after all, it was a big deal. He took a branch, drew a circle on the soil, and wrote "Six Tools".

    "Yuan Kun once changed our fate on us." Li Jinglong explained, "He brought the light of heart through Hongjun and awarded it to me, so that King Fudo Ming could no longer concentrate the six weapons on me..."

    Morigen sat down and said, "You said that. Yuan Kun changed his fate first, and finally used Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly technique to send you back to the past."

    Qiu Yongsi pondered: "We have discussed this process. It's not enough to just change the'process'. After a series of destinies have been changed, we need to return to the beginning and lay this path."

    "Cause and effect cause and effect." Li Jinglong said, "In addition to cause, there is also effect." He explained to Ah Tai: "You can imagine it as, everyone's fate is a book that has been written and needs to be changed. I have to choose one of the paragraphs and rewrite them. After I finish writing, I have to turn to the front and place a seal. The process of Yuan Kun granting me the heart lamp is the rewriting itself, and Zhuang Zhou’s dream made me go back to the past. , The opening of this destiny was established, and this is..." As he said, he made a "stamp" gesture: "It is the action of stamping."

    Ah Tai understood roughly and said, "But what does this have to do with the present?"

    "The first change to fate has been completed." Li Jinglong said, "Yuan Kun dispersed the six weapons through the first change, which also caused Hongjun to remain alive and weakened the power of the Exorcist. Now, he wants to take the opportunity to destroy us all, and in the process, some people use their own way to treat their bodies and initiate the second change. The purpose is to let us survive and defeat Yuan Kun and Qingxiong. . And now, we are in this second change."

    "So, now we have to find that'seal'." Qiu Yongsi said, "That is, the'node' we are talking about can completely lay down the changed cause and effect. Just like Hongjun survives, the node that separates from the demon seed is Jinglong originally requested the separation of the six weapons in front of King Fudo Ming, and now we are retreating, and there is also an event node."

    Morigen and Ah Tai understood roughly. Morigen said, "I think you have to ask the person who changed. Who is it?"

    Li Jinglong shook his head and said: "If you can tell us, Yuzaoyun must have said it. If you don't say it, there must be a reason for it."

    Qiu Yongsi said: "I think, from the look in its eyes, maybe it has never figured out."

    Li Jinglong murmured: "It doesn't matter, we have explained to Yuzaoyun last night, it must be concealed in order to fool Yuan Kun who has an insight into the future."

    Ah Tai said: "But even if you find the past node, how do you go back to that point in time to stamp it?"

    "Hmm..." Li Jinglong murmured, "Yes... Only Yuan Kun can make us go back to the past from our dreams. It depends on him."

    Qiu Yongsi suddenly said, "Jinglong, remember? The past you went back to is not the real past."

    "That's just a dream." Li Jinglong said seriously, "this dream can't affect others."

    This issue has been discussed by exorcists more than once. Yuan Kun’s Zhuang Zhoumeng butterfly technique did not really change the timeline of the entire world, but only brought Li Jinglong back to himself many years ago. When he woke up from the dream, Hongjun's parents were still dead. In a sense, he did not change the past.

    It's not so much "change", it's more "establishment", Yuan Kun has already changed the cause and effect, waiting for the moment when Li Jinglong finally establishes the facts. The promise he made in front of Fudo Mingwang Shenzun became the source of all this, and only Li Jinglong himself could do this behavior.

    "So." Li Jinglong murmured, "This node should still belong to me."
