Chapter Five, Eight Gates of the Celestial Tower

The boy was six or seven years old at that time, and in a state of unconsciousness, he was mistaken for a dead person and placed in a coffin to be buried.

Qiu Shuijing said: "What I mean is, what happened after you became blind in both eyes?"

His gaze continued to sweep across the area, and suddenly he made another discovery. He noticed that the Tianmen Town beneath the immortal sword was different from the current Tianmen Town.

Cen Bo lives right next to my house; he is an eccentric person who does not like to talk to others. He told me that my house was destroyed and advised me to move to the town. Thus, I moved to the town, where the uncles and aunts took good care of me

Qiu Shuijing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry

Su Yun looked up in surprise

How should he remove the foreign object from his eye

The whereabouts of the eight-sided skyward pavilion is also a mystery

Su Yun's eyes were blind, and he had no idea that the one speaking to him was not a human. He was even unaware that in the entire Tianmen Town where he lived, he was the only living person

The spirit is dependent on the physical body, making it even more fragile

Cen Bo rescued him from the grave and directed him to live in the town

"Mr. Shui Jing?" Su Yun asked in confusion, having not heard Qiu Shui Jing's voice for a long time.

Qiu Shuijing is an eccentric individual with his own principles. He has always believed that knowledge comes at a price. He is willing to teach Su Yun how to treat "eye diseases," but Su Yun must make a contribution; it cannot be given for free.

Cen Bo

The legendary world of Dongtian actually exists

The Wuzhu coin is the smallest currency of the Yuan Shuo state, with each coin weighing five zhu, hence it is called the Wuzhu coin

This may be an explanation, but it does not satisfy Qiu Shuijing

Of course, what he taught Su Yun was far more than just a single five-cash coin. The reason he insisted on collecting one coin was precisely due to his principles at play

In recent years, he has listened to the townspeople and set up a stall at the market, hoping that someone would take a liking to his "treasures" and treat his eyes. However, it is evident that his "treasures" are not true treasures, as no one has ever been moved by them.

They each used their unique spiritual powers to empower the Chaotian Gate, and one night, they finally opened the portal to another world, connecting the two realms together

"I can't come up with that much money..." Su Yun murmured

Perhaps the strong individuals of Tianmen Town felt that this innocent child was being implicated, and thus spared him during the catastrophe

Qiu Shuijing, upon hearing this, looked around and asked, "Where is your original home?"

This eight-sided sky gate forms a peculiar formation with the Heavenly Gate. The experts residing in Heavenly Gate Town have made significant progress in studying the ghost market of the Heavenly Gate. This realm of eternal life is theirs, it is theirs...

He looked around, and the buildings of Tianmen Town were still standing, even including Tianmen, which had not been destroyed in the catastrophe. Only the Chaotian Que, which had eight sides and connected to another world, had vanished.

Qiu Shuijing's eyes twitched slightly at the corners, and upon comparing the positions of the Eight-Sided Heavenly Gate and the Heavenly Gate Archway, his heart began to race.

Su Yun was momentarily taken aback

It was the strong individuals of Tianmen Town who caused this disaster

After the disaster in Tianmen Town, they took extra care of this child as a result

Qiu Shuijing fell silent

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said: "I am merely imparting to you the method to treat your eyes. Healing your own eyes is your own responsibility, and it has nothing to do with me. Do you still need to pay yourself to treat your own eyes?"

Qiu Shuijing smiled faintly, dispersing his magical power, and the projection of the immortal sword once again returned to Su Yun's eyes

Who exactly took away the Eight-Sided Sky Pavilion

These experts transformed Tianmen Town by demolishing the original houses and reconstructing Tianmen Town in imitation of the Tianmen Ghost Market

Su Yun became excited, but soon fell into despondency

And the cost was that his eyes could not withstand the brilliance and power of that celestial sword, resulting in his blindness

Why did Su Yun, this ordinary child, not perish in this upheaval

However, I am not an official teacher in the school's hierarchy, but rather a private tutor, a private instructor providing supplementary lessons to the noble sons.

Qiu Shuijing steadied his mind and said: "I am here"

The young man continued forward, leaving Tiangmen Town, and said: "I don't know what happened. I only remember that I took a nap, and when I woke up, I found myself locked in a small room. I knocked desperately. It was Cen Bo who opened the door and let me out."

Su Yun raised her finger, and Qiu Shuijing once again saw the crooked-neck willow tree. There was no one under the willow tree, nor any houses, only a desolate grave.

Qiu Shuijing expressed his confusion: "You surely do not have even a single five-zhu coin, do you"

Qiu Shuijing laughed heartily, his laughter dispelling the gloom over Tianmen Town, allowing sunlight to shine down, precisely illuminating Su Yun's residence: "I will go with you, and after imparting my knowledge to you, I shall return to Shuo Fang."

Chaotianque

Strangely, the masters of Tianmen Town have preserved their spirits, yet their physical bodies have vanished without a trace

There is one more thing that he cannot comprehend, which is that if the masters of Tianmen Town were killed by the Immortal Sword, then their spiritual essence should be even easier to be severed.

However, the truth is that at that time, Su Yun was merely a child living in Tianmen Town. He happened to look up at the moment the long sword flew here, imprinting this scene in his eyes

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "I never said it would be me to heal your eyes"

The Emperor of the Yuan Shuo Kingdom commanded the experts of the nation to come to this place to study the Tianmen Ghost Market, in an attempt to uncover the secrets of the Tianmen Ghost Market, thereby fulfilling the Emperor's desire for immortality

Su Yun led the way ahead, and Qiu Shuijing saw the Huangzhong appear, continuously rotating to keep time. His heart stirred slightly as he asked, "Su Yun, how did you survive?"

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said: "Therefore, the tuition fee still needs to be collected from you. If you give me one five-zhu coin, I will teach you."

Either it is the great emperor of the Eastern Capital, or someone is snatching food from the tiger's mouth. How interesting

The subsequent changes exceeded their expectations

His expression fluctuated between dark and bright, and he suddenly steadied his mind, confirming his suspicion: "They opened it themselves!"

Qiu Shuijing was greatly perplexed; all the masters in Tianmen Town had perished, regardless of whether they were human or animal, all had vanished without a trace, leaving only the essence of the masters behind

It is Cen Bo who lives under the willow tree

This is likely the change that Mr. Wild Fox referred to

Su Yun raised his hand and pointed. Qiu Shuijing followed the direction of his finger and saw only a small grave, a decayed and dilapidated coffin.

Su Yun quickly said, "I will go find Mr. Wild Fox to borrow a coin."

Qiu Shuijing's heart trembled, as if time had frozen in Su Yun's eyes, imprinting the scene just before the destruction of Tianmen Town.

His pupils were compressed to the extreme by the intense light, and the imprint of the celestial sword was thus lodged within his pupils, rendering him unable to see anything

Su Yun's face flushed red, and her hand fumbled in the sleeve for a long time, but she still did not take it out

Their research has also made breakthroughs, which are focused on the Eight-Sided Sky Tower

Please wait a moment, sir

This is a somewhat stubborn young man who is unwilling to ask for help

This indicates that my assumptions were not entirely correct. There must have been other unexpected changes that occurred back then.

Su Yun nodded in shame and hurriedly said: "Sir, my treasures..."

They attempted to enter that world, but encountered resistance from it. A celestial sword flew out from that world, slaying them and simultaneously killing all the inhabitants of Tianmen Town

Qiu Shuijing's gaze flickered, and the mystery of Tianmen Town has not been completely unraveled

Does this not imply that immortal beings exist as well

It is impossible for the physical bodies of all individuals to be destroyed while their spiritual essence remains preserved

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said: "As long as the foreign object blocking your pupils is removed or allowed to leave your pupils, your eyesight can be restored"

He finally clarified the relationships involved

In Tianmen Town, there stands an octagonal tower, each side of which is exquisitely crafted, adorned with various mythical beasts and divine creatures, as if their spiritual essence and supernatural powers are entwined upon the tower

These distinguished guests arrived in Tianmen Town, living alongside the townspeople, among whom is Su Yun's family

Su Yun lowered her head and pressed her lips together

However, why did Su Yun not die

After he woke up, it should have been during the night when he knocked on the coffin, disturbing the spirit in the grave not far away under the crooked-neck willow tree, namely "Cen Bo"

Is this sword the reason for the destruction of Tianmen Town

You are not truly blind; rather, there is a foreign object obstructing your pupil

Su Yun's so-called "treasures" are actually the burial goods of the poor, worth nothing at all

It is precisely because of this temperament that he could not thrive in the Eastern Capital, and thus had no choice but to resign from his official position and leave that place of disputes

The water column connecting the two worlds descended from the sky, causing a tsunami in the North Sea, resulting in heavy casualties in the Heavenly Market. The area within a radius of 100 miles around Tianmen Town has turned into a no-man's land overrun by demons and monsters

His voice trembled slightly, still unable to suppress the shock in his heart
