The stolen magic is a bit magical

That's good; not only is it closed, but it remains nameless.

Even the gate itself is gone.

This was Miaoxin's demeanor, and since Guan Wuming was unknown, no one knew about the steadfastness in her heart.

Since someone has touched on my secret, I might as well just forcefully wipe away this dust.

"Senior, your methods are truly remarkable. You can even decide the fate of a Dao Realm Spirit Platform that has been solidified for three thousand years," Lin Xiaosu praised. "However, Senior, you are mistaken. That old friend left you not of his own volition, but because he had unavoidable difficulties. He has transformed himself into an array, enduring three thousand years of suffering. His only regret is that he did not explain the reason when he said goodbye. If you no longer keep him in your heart, wouldn't it be heartbreaking to see the blood he shed every day for the past three thousand years, and the longing he felt for you every day?"

"What did you say?"

With a whoosh, the door to the quiet room suddenly swung open.

Lin Xiaosu and the nun stood face to face.

Lin Xiaosu stared blankly at the nun in front of him, his heart suddenly racing, so much so that his initial words vanished in an instant.

How could this be?
What did I see?
Why do I feel so familiar with her?
Yes, those eyebrows, those facial features—it's all so familiar, etched into my very bones…

"You said...you said he...he transformed himself into an array?" Miao Xin's face was no longer as calm as before.

Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath: "Senior, I took a picture of him. You'll understand as soon as you see it."

With a slight lift of his hand, a pair of strange glasses appeared in his palm.

Beneath the dragon's eye lies the Two Realms Mountain, another world unfolds!
A lone sword, covered in dust!

His face was already covered in dust and grime.

His physical body merged with the mountain.

Looking at the dashing swordsman she had once traveled thousands of miles to meet, and seeing how time had etched itself into his unrecognizable face, Miaoxin's heart was no longer at peace, and her expression no longer resembled that of a Buddhist nun.

Lin Xiaosu sighed softly, "He told me that back then, he roamed the martial world freely, walking the path of swordsmanship without dust. If it weren't for you, he would have walked this path without hesitation. However, he met you! That night at Jianmen Pass is his only thought in this life. He wanted to accompany you all the way to the end of time, but fate had other plans. The sect was in trouble, and the Array Sect was forced out of the Desolate Ancient World. His father died in battle, and all his brothers and sisters died in battle. As a son and a member of the Array Sect, he had to join the battle!"

"Join the war! Join the war!" Miao Xin's lips trembled slightly. "Why...why didn't he tell me? Why?"

"Because he knows that you have the gate to reincarnation behind you, and you are the person he loves most. In a man's world, when faced with a life-or-death situation, he can only bear it alone! He only wishes to bring you all his love in this life, not to be a burden!"

Miaoxin slowly raised her head, and the artificial wall she had built in her mind crumbled.

Countless long-forgotten memories flooded my mind.

These memories are so beautiful that they have been perfectly preserved even after three thousand years of solitude.

She hated her husband for starting a relationship with her and then abandoning her.

She hated these beautiful things, which brought her three thousand years of desolation and loneliness.

Unable to resolve these issues, she named the nunnery after the fallen flowers.

And now, a person from afar has brought news...

Her husband had never betrayed her!

His departure was solely due to the sect's predicament.

He left without saying goodbye because of a man's deepest love for her—but when faced with life-or-death danger, he would bear it alone, not wanting to be a burden to her, not wanting to burden the Gate of Reincarnation behind her…

Buddhist precepts, at this moment, are far beyond reach.

Love that had been dormant for so long erupted like a volcano at this moment.

"Tell me where he is!"

Seven words, an endless impulse.

“He is, of course, in another world!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Senior, since I was able to find you, you can naturally see him again. However, that world is currently in a state of unpredictable mystery, and as a Dao Holder, you cannot set foot there.”

"Do I care about these things? I'll test whether Heaven truly intends to punish this traitorous disciple of Buddhism!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her hair suddenly started growing out of thin air.

Her blue dress suddenly turned into a white dress!

At this moment, she transformed into Du Yuexin, the reincarnation saintess from three thousand years ago!

This was her stance; after clearing up the misunderstanding with her husband, she became a rebel against Buddhism.

She stopped being a nun and returned to being Du Yuexin.

Because her entry into Buddhism three thousand years ago was a misunderstanding.

Lin Xiaosu was internally screaming, "Damn it!"

Before entering Luohua Nunnery, he had prepared a whole speech in his mind, thinking about how to fool her. However, all that preparation was useless. After only a few words, she changed completely.

We must immediately set off for that world.

Do you know that if you run away, we're all doomed?

When you enter that world, the laws and secrets of Heaven have not yet been fully adjusted, and you may have been punished by Heaven in the past.

That realm is currently protected by spirits of the dead, who cannot fight against you. The Great Xia Kingdom is in chaos because of your reckless and intrusive actions.

And I'm counting on you to take me south of the Yangtze River. What am I supposed to do now that you've gone off to meet your lover whom you haven't seen in three thousand years?
Originally, he didn't have any good ideas, but after seeing her true face just now, and that familiar outline that seemed to be etched into her bones, Lin Xiaosu had a new breakthrough: "Senior, if I may ask, do you... have any descendants?"

Du Yuexin's fervent heart suddenly turned cold: "He and I have a daughter! Because of the wind under Jianmen Pass that day, I named her Feng Ji (Wind Princess)."

Wind Princess!

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat; her daughter's name was Feng Ji!

This name perfectly matched a name that came to mind...

Du Yuexin's voice turned sorrowful: "Feng Ji had just broken through to the Enlightenment Realm when she traveled far and wide to find her father. I left behind her soul lamp, but ten years later, the soul lamp went out, and she was no longer in this world! It was because of these experiences that I lost all desire for the mortal world and truly entered the Buddhist order."

As the words fell, she swayed precariously.

"Senior, please don't be distressed," Lin Xiaosu said. "Your daughter might still be alive! No... I'm almost certain she's still alive!"

Du Yuexin was terrified: "You...how can you be so sure?"

"Because in Kuncang of that world, which is where Senior Lone Sword is, I met a woman with the bloodline of reincarnation. Her name was Feng Ji. She confessed that she was once a skeleton, who was saved by the Valley Master of Sheng Hua with a miraculous method. She addressed me as her senior brother and junior sister. As soon as I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity because your appearance was almost exactly the same as hers."

This is the truth.

After Feng Ji's appearance became truly normal, she wore a mask most of the time.

The only exception was when she intended to forcefully open the gate of reincarnation.

With her cultivation level, if she opens the gate of reincarnation, she will definitely enter the cycle of reincarnation and never look back.

To make it easier for Lin Xiaosu to find her in the next cycle of reincarnation, she took off the mask she had never taken off before, leaving him with a fleeting glimpse of her beauty.

The two reincarnation marks on that face had already flown away.

She was more beautiful and flawless than ever before.

Lin Xiaosu remembered every detail of that face clearly.

At this moment, Du Yuexin in front of me looks almost exactly like this face.

This is the genetic resemblance between mother and daughter. Although many mothers and daughters are not so similar, they are both of reincarnation lineage. Perhaps in the cycle of reincarnation, there is an invisible hand quietly correcting everything on their faces.

Du Yuexin asked, "Do you...do you have her keepsake?"

“A token…that’s right!” Lin Xiaosu said, “I have a drop of her blood. Senior, why don’t you take a look?”

"A drop of blood? Quick! Let me see it!" Du Yuexin was so excited.

Lin Xiaosu moved his finger, and the drop of blood he had obtained from Feng Ji appeared at his fingertip.

The moment Du Yuexin touched the drop of blood, her entire demeanor changed: "It's her! It really is her! She... she really found where her father was, but before she could see him, she was murdered, causing her soul lamp to go out. I saw the soul lamp go out, but I couldn't see her reincarnation..."

Lin Xiaosu was overjoyed.

Truly overjoyed.

Feng Ji had told him many times that she didn't remember where she came from, but now, she's found it, hasn't she?

Sometimes, you just have to be logical.

Feng Ji's appearance in Kun Cang was not a coincidence. She was searching for her father and had indeed found the place closest to him, but she was killed.

If she didn't possess the bloodline of reincarnation, there would be no story to tell, but she did!

She was born again.

After being reborn, she lost her memory and forgot about finding her father.

Her father, Lone Sword Dust, would never have imagined that one night at Jianmen Pass, he would have a daughter. But he still felt a little guilty. Sensing Feng Ji's reincarnation bloodline, and with the intention of repaying the Samsara Sect, he kidnapped her and Feng Ji to Liangjie Mountain and taught Feng Ji the sword move that her mother was most skilled at: The Blooming of the Other Shore Flower.

If Feng Ji hadn't worn the mask, given her facial features that were almost identical to her mother's, Gu Jian You Chen would surely have sensed something from her. However, at that time, Feng Ji was still young and naive, afraid that the reincarnation mark on her face would ruin her beauty in the eyes of her junior brother. She was more wary of the mask than of a belt. Gu Jian You Chen thus missed his daughter right before his eyes...

This is the impermanence of life.

Suddenly, Du Yuexin's expression changed drastically: "This drop of blood is her primordial blood... Lord Su, you..."

Her voice was hesitant and incredulous.

This drop of blood carries the true meaning of reincarnation, the bloodline of reincarnation; it is the daughter's primordial blood.

What is the Blood of the Beginning?

It's the blood of a virgin!
What does it mean when a woman's virgin blood falls into a man's hands?
Lin Xiaosu thought to himself, "Damn it!" His mind raced, and he bowed deeply, saying, "Your son-in-law greets Your Majesty, Mother-in-law!"

Du Yuexin's body trembled slightly...

The speculation has become a reality.

The person before her was indeed her daughter, and had even become her husband. This man was her son-in-law!
She originally lived in the back mountain of Luohua Nunnery. After thousands of years of ascetic practice, she was all alone. She thought there was no one in the world worth caring about, and no one she longed for.

However, today a court official, who had clearly been targeting Luohua Nunnery before, came to her door and told her that the unfaithful man who had ruined her life had never actually wronged her.

The daughter she bore for that unfaithful man never truly left her.

Moreover, this daughter even married the official in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, she, who had no relatives, had a husband, a daughter, and a son-in-law, and was surrounded by children and grandchildren...

"Su...Lin'er!" Du Yuexin exhaled softly, "Where is Feng Ji right now?"

“She entered this world even before me. She went back to the Reincarnation Gate!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Mother-in-law, she has not yet developed a primordial spirit and cannot remember her past life. She just felt that she possessed the bloodline of reincarnation and should have some connection with the Reincarnation Gate, so she went to the Reincarnation Gate. She hopes to use the power of the Reincarnation Gate to fight alongside me and end the great calamity of that world.”

Du Yuexin slowly raised her gaze, casting it towards the distant south: "You and she both aim to end the great calamity of that world?"

“Not only her and me, but also my father-in-law. He entered the battle with his own body, unafraid of death or annihilation, also to protect that world!”

Du Yuexin let out a long breath and murmured, "He... he is also protecting that world."

Lin Xiaosu's voice was filled with emotion: "My father-in-law left the martial world in his youth, taking the sword as his name, believing that the way of the sword was untainted by worldly dust. However, after all his loved ones passed away, he realized that his heart was indeed dusty. His love for you, senior, his identification with the sect, and the blood ties to his family were all concerns in his heart, and also the dust in his heart. That's why he restored his ancestral surname, taking 'Gu' as his surname and 'Youchen' as his given name! When he left Kuncang, he told me that his life's mission was to protect the great array forged from the blood and flesh of the eighty-one elders of the Array Sect, to prevent the Ancient World from invading that world. He didn't want the 'Dao' that the Array Sect had sacrificed itself for to ultimately be meaningless and worthless..."

“He has his way, you have yours, and your daughter has hers…” Du Yuexin murmured.

"All family members are on the same path, Mother-in-law. I've come here today to guide you onto this path!" Lin Xiaosu gently extended her hand.

Du Yuexin gently reached out and grasped his hand: "We're family, we're on the same path!"

Lin Xiaosu said, "Yes, even though the world turned upside down, even though our fate was fraught with hardship over the past three thousand years, we still managed to cross those three thousand years, and not one of us was missing!"

Du Yuexin was filled with immense joy and emotion: "Lin'er, what exactly is your goal in coming to Jiangnan this time?"

Before learning these secrets, she didn't believe that this Lord Su of the court had any ulterior motives; he was simply trying to curry favor with His Majesty and obtain a high position.

However, the perception has now completely changed.

He is from another world; he has a much grander goal of protecting the Way, and his vision should certainly not be limited to just getting promoted and making money.

"Does Mother-in-law know that all the entrances to that world are located within the Great Wilderness?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

Du Yuexin's eyes flashed: "So, you want to quickly build your own power base and, with the help of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, sever its roots on this side!"

"My mother-in-law is wise!"

Du Yue thought to herself, "Going down to Jiangnan is part of your plan to strengthen your own power?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The matter of going to Jiangnan has already completed a four-level promotion for me. However, if I want to influence the court and truly use the power of the Great Wilderness Dynasty for my own purposes, a mere third-rank official and the clearing out of Huzhou are far from enough. I need to take over the entire Jiangnan Circuit!"

Du Yuexin's newly grown long hair fluttered gently: "Although I sit quietly in the back mountain, I am somewhat aware of the happenings outside. Everyone is speculating about what kind of ambitions you, Lord Su, have, and how far you can go in officialdom. But no one could have imagined that your trip to Jiangnan is not truly a trip to Jiangnan. Your real goal is not in Jiangnan at all..."

“Mother-in-law, please stop calling me Lin’er and call me Su’er. Su Lin is not my real name. My real name is Lin Xiao Su. I am not from an ancient sect. I am an unofficial hidden dragon from another world. You can think of me as a ‘hidden dragon’!”

"Hidden Dragon? A close confidant of His Majesty the Emperor of that world?" Du Yue thought to herself.

"No, in that world there are no emperors, only people. Our country is based on the people, and the rulers serve the people."

"There really is such a world? Su'er, tell me in detail about your world..."

Lin Xiaosu said a lot.

That world, too, emerged from endless war.

Countless people sacrificed their lives to bring about the prosperous era we enjoy today.

Although this prosperous era hasn't achieved the ultimate goal of everyone living a good life, it's still achievable to have enough to eat and wear...

Du Yuexin listened quietly, and finally let out a long sigh: "Su'er, the country you speak of is a paradise on earth, like a fairyland. Even if it weren't for my husband and my daughter and son-in-law, I would still like to see this beautiful earthly paradise with my own eyes! So, I will help you on this journey!"

"Your son-in-law thanks you, Mother-in-law!"

"Speak, what do you need me to do..."

Outside, under the Bodhi tree.

Yellow leaves are falling.

Zhang Tao shrank his neck, feeling a slight chill.

As a peak-level Enlightenment God, he shouldn't feel cold, yet today, he does feel a bit cold.

Why?

Because of the situation.

The two experts in front of them treated them quite badly, basically not considering themselves as monks.

These two are nothing compared to the founder of Luohua Nunnery, the mysterious Abbess Miaoxin.

Before becoming a nun, Master Miaoxin was a member of the Samsara Sect.

She is studying the law of reincarnation.

Enlightenment leads to attachment; how can it be compared to ordinary attachment?
The law of reincarnation is terrifying and mysterious.

One moment of carelessness, and you're plunged into the cycle of reincarnation, starting all over again.

The adult, all alone, accepted the invitation to enter the back mountain and walked directly to this master of reincarnation. Will he be able to return?

In just half an hour, his mind was filled with turmoil and frustration.

He couldn't think of any effective solution.

Suddenly, the Bodhi tree moved.

Two figures appeared at the top of the Bodhi tree.

One of them was Lin Xiaosu, whose expression remained unchanged.

The other person was a nun in blue. The ordinary blue robe she wore made her seem like a celestial being amidst a vast starry sky.

Master Miaoyu and Master Miaoshen bowed in unison: "Greetings, Sister Chuang'an!"

"Greetings, Ancestor Founder!" Countless voices echoed from the surrounding area.

when!
The Buddhist bell rings without wind!

One sound, two sounds, three sounds...

Up to nine sounds.

Nine-tone Buddhist bells represent the highest level of respect, a privilege reserved only for the founding patriarch of a lineage.

"Wonderful words!" Du Yuexin said calmly, "According to this Lord Su, our nunnery has taken in seventy-nine sinners?"

"Reporting to Senior Sister!" Miaoyu bowed and said, "It is true that our nunnery took in seventy-nine disciples. However, they have all laid down their weapons and sincerely turned to Buddhism."

"How can you be sure they have laid down their butcher's knives, or are just temporarily keeping them at their waists? How can you be sure they have sincerely turned to Buddhism, or are just hiding in this temple because they can't escape the law in the outside world, waiting for the storm to pass before making a comeback?"

The witty remark startled everyone: "Amitabha, senior sister..."

Du Yuexin gently raised her hand: "The Buddhist Pure Land cannot tolerate filth and defilement! These seventy-nine people are all expelled from this temple. They can return after they have paid off their karmic debts! From now on, no one in this temple is allowed to use the name of 'laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha' to harbor filth and defilement. Otherwise, Luohua Temple will be an accomplice to harming the common people. What right do they have to use the name of Buddhism?"

Snapped!
Snapped!
Gu Suixin clapped his hands in praise: "Master Miaoxin's words are the most authentic Buddhist teachings I have heard in my travels. Your reputation as a great Buddhist and Taoist master is well-deserved! I am truly in awe!"

He bowed deeply.

Zhang Tao also bowed deeply: "That's right. The so-called 'lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot' has a prerequisite: you can't have accumulated a lot of blood debts. You have to pay off your debts before you are qualified to talk about letting go! The laws of the world, punishing evil and promoting good, are themselves debt repayment and reflect the fairness of the way of heaven."

Everyone in the room looked at each other in dismay, while the seventy-nine people were ashen-faced.

If someone else had said these words, they would have had plenty to say in their defense. However, the one who uttered these words was the founding patriarch of this temple.

She founded this nunnery.

She has the final say on the interpretation of all the rules.

If she wants to give up, who can stop her?
With witty words and graceful movements, she slowly straightened her back, wanting to give it one last push...

Du Yuexin met their gazes: "There are two other things I'd like to tell you both at the same time!"

"Amitabha, please give your instructions, Senior Sister!" The two were slightly startled.

"Firstly, if you two had any ties to the Heart Sect before, that ends here! From today onwards, if you still have even the slightest entanglement with the Heart Sect, I will personally cripple your cultivation and cleanse the sect!"

The two nuns were shocked and knelt down with a thud: "Senior sister, please don't listen to this boy's nonsense. We two nuns have never had any abnormal entanglement with the Heart Gate."

Lin Xiaosu said calmly, “What is normal and what is abnormal varies from person to person. Perhaps you think that it is normal for you to have some shady dealings with the Heart Sect in order to improve the status of Luohua Nunnery in the martial arts world. However, in my opinion, your shady dealings are nothing short of aiding and abetting evil.”

This final blow sent a chill down the spines of the two nuns. They suddenly felt as if their entanglement with the Heart Gate had become a settled matter.

The focus of the debate has shifted to what is normal and what is abnormal.

"Amitabha Buddha, Lord Su..."

Du Yuexin raised her hand, interrupting directly: "This matter can be decided in one word! From today onwards, sever all ties. Can you do that?"

"This humble nun obeys the instructions of my senior sister!" Abbess Miaoyu bowed deeply.

Du Yuexin said, "Secondly, I've heard that my Luohua Nunnery also has properties outside the area?"

Miao Yu and Miao Shen's heads pounded: "Senior Sister, it is true that there are properties outside Luohua Nunnery, but those properties were all donated to the nunnery by believers, and the nunnery never forced anyone to give them."

Lin Xiaosu nodded: "I can testify that the seventeen properties of Luohua Nunnery were indeed not obtained through coercion. You were simply providing some assistance to Xinmen, and Xinmen reciprocated by having the sects under its control give you some rewards. Therefore, your acquisition of these properties cannot be considered coercion; you were merely 'smartly seizing' them!"

Everyone's expression completely changed.

This final blow... (End of Chapter)
