Chapter 392, Moon Goddess, you seem somewhat...
Chapter 392, Moon Goddess, you seem somewhat...
"So you are the Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School. No wonder I never saw you on Mount Taiyi. Why are you here, Moon Goddess? This is not a place for entertaining guests."
Xu Qing lowered one hand and held the bamboo slip in the other, his expression calm and peaceful as he smiled and spoke.
Looking at the gentle, refined, and handsome Xu Qing, the Moon Goddess felt inexplicably at ease and peaceful, and her originally cold expression softened slightly.
"I just had nothing to do, so I came out for a walk, and before I knew it, I had arrived here," the Moon Goddess said, shaking her head slightly.
Upon hearing the Moon Goddess's answer, Xu Qing shook his head slightly, his smile gradually fading, replaced by a solemn expression, and he spoke.
"Don't you have anything to do?"
“I think the Moon Goddess is not idle. The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic says: Anger injures the liver, sorrow erodes the lungs, and emotions affect the five internal organs.”
"Although the young lady's expression was calm, her face was filled with resentment, and her anger was hidden in her heart, which was damaging to her liver and lungs. If this continues, it will be very bad for her health."
Seeing that her thoughts had been exposed, the Moon Goddess was first taken aback. She couldn't help but be amazed by Xu Qing's medical skills. She could see Xu Qing's true emotions from her expression, which truly surprised her.
"Is the hospitality of the Taoist Tianzong sect really this thorough? They even take the pulse and treat the illness of their guests."
The Moon Goddess spoke in a clear, cold voice. Her beautiful eyes, hidden behind a veil, calmly looked at Xu Qing, without the slightest ripple.
"Tianzong naturally doesn't care about the guests' feelings; this is just my personal opinion."
"The scenery here is beautiful, peaceful, and serene. The Moon Goddess is as lovely as a lotus in the distant mountains, with a face as beautiful as the moon and as lovely as a flower. Her eyebrows are like distant mountains shrouded in mist, and her skin is like a peach blossom in full bloom. If this gloomy atmosphere were to spoil the scenery, wouldn't that be too unromantic?"
Xu Qing maintained a calm smile on her face, but began to flirt with him.
The Moon Goddess is still young, and her mindset is not as cold and ruthless as it will become when she becomes the Grand Tutor of Qin.
Furthermore, having cultivated Yin-Yang arts at the Yin-Yang School since childhood, he knew very little about matters of love between men and women. Apart from Donghuang Taiyi, everyone he encountered was extremely respectful; who would dare to offer praise or flirt?
Unless you're willing to die.
Faced with Xu Qing's direct yet elegant flirting, the Moon Goddess's calm state of mind quickly wavered, and her tranquil eyes gained a touch of brilliance.
"This person seems rather frivolous, not at all like the composed person people say he is. However, he has a rather pleasant way of speaking."
A hint of shyness rose in the Moon Goddess's heart, but she quickly suppressed it.
"It's getting late, don't you need to go back?"
The Moon Goddess looked at Xu Qing and spoke in a soft and pleasant voice, no longer as cold as before.
Does the Yin-Yang School have any restrictions on its disciples?
Xu Qing did not answer the Moon Goddess's question, but instead asked with some curiosity.
Xu Qing naturally noticed the strange expression on the Moon Goddess's face. To him, the Moon Goddess was like a well-behaved girl from his previous life. She had been strictly watched over by her family since she was a child, and she had to go home before eight o'clock every night.
Most girls like this are very well-behaved, gentle, and excellent, but they are also the easiest to be deceived by blond-haired men. This is because they are too well protected by their families and do not understand the wickedness of people's hearts. They are easily charmed by blond-haired men with just a few words.
"Access control? No."
The Moon Goddess shook her head slightly, realizing that Xu Qing had misunderstood her words, and her rose-red lips moved as she spoke.
"I heard that you are going to represent the Heavenly Sect in the Covenant between Heaven and Man. Your strength is far inferior to that of Xiaoyaozi of the Human Sect. Don't you need to go into seclusion to prepare for the battle?"
Her mission was to make contact with Xu Qing, thereby helping him eliminate Lü Buwei and allowing the Yin-Yang School to successfully enter Qin.
If she were to propose cooperation to Xu Qing right away, it would definitely arouse Xu Qing's suspicion. Therefore, her plan was to gain Xu Qing's trust step by step, and the first step to gaining his trust was to help him win the Covenant between Heaven and Man.
Although it is difficult, it is not impossible.
"I wonder what the Moon Goddess thinks of the cultivation practices of my Taoist Heavenly Sect?"
Xu Qing gestured to the Moon Goddess, then sat down on a protruding rock by the lake and spoke.
The Moon Goddess glanced at Xu Qing, then walked over and sat down on the rock opposite him.
Long, slender, pale purple hair cascaded down her right shoulder. Her delicate hands rested flat on her lower abdomen, her legs were slightly bent, and her floor-length skirt rode up to reveal pink and blue high-heeled sandals.
The originally conservative long dress accentuated the slender and graceful figure of the moon goddess as she straightened her posture. The sleeves and hem of the dress were inlaid with violet flower patterns, adding a touch of youthful vitality to her mysterious, gorgeous, noble and dignified temperament.
Such a cold and noble demeanor, coupled with her coy and shy appearance, made Xu Qing's heart itch with desire. He wanted to tear open her veil and see what this beauty was hiding.
"The Heavenly Sect cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness, believing that cultivation should involve selflessness, merging with heaven and earth, and forgetting all emotions, thus becoming ruthless." Although the Moon Goddess was puzzled as to why Xu Qing asked this question, she still answered truthfully.
The Yin-Yang School also branched off from Taoism, so they naturally have some understanding of the internal cultivation methods of Taoism.
However, compared to the Taoist approach of first cultivating oneself, then one's mind, then comprehending the universe, and finally using the power of the universe to nourish oneself, the Yin-Yang School believes that this is not what a true seeker of immortality should do. The Yin-Yang School believes that cultivation is going against the will of Heaven and must take some radical measures. Therefore, they take an unorthodox approach, advocating that one should first comprehend the universe and use its power to replenish oneself.
First, make yourself strong enough, then cultivate your character and mind.
However, this also means that the Yin-Yang School is even stricter in selecting disciples than the Taoist School, since such an extreme method could easily lead to death by explosion if one is not careful.
"What the young lady said is very true. To achieve merging with heaven and earth and forgetting all things, the first thing to do is to feel all things. How can one transcend the world without engaging with it?"
"The world is a turbulent place, and everything is a trial. The people we meet and the things we experience are all trials on the path of seeking the Dao. I wonder if you believe in fate?" Xu Qing looked up at the Moon Goddess and asked calmly but earnestly.
After listening to Xu Qing's cultivation method, which favored the Human Sect, the Moon Goddess was slightly puzzled for a moment before she had her answer.
Xu Qing's teacher was He Guanzi, whose philosophy was the unity of heaven and man, and also incorporated the Yin-Yang philosophy of the Yin-Yang School. It was perfectly normal for Xu Qing's cultivation to have the shadow of the Human School.
"As for fate, who can truly say what destiny holds?"
As the Moon Goddess spoke, she looked towards the twilight on the horizon, a complex expression rising in her eyes.
Fate is destiny, and she naturally believes in destiny.
The Yin-Yang school uses astrological principles to predict the future, but who can truly say what the future holds?
Even the Yin-Yang School can only glimpse a corner of the picture and cannot get close to the whole picture.
"Fate is something that cannot be explained, just as we are complete strangers, yet we are now sitting together discussing fate."
"It is fate that we meet. The Moon Goddess is feeling down. Since we are destined to meet, I should naturally try to help you. This is both my medical ethics as a healer and my experience as a disciple of the Taoist Heavenly Sect."
Xu Qing looked at the Moon Goddess with a serious expression and sincere eyes, and slowly spoke.
If this answer were given to anyone else, the Moon Goddess would definitely think that the other person was deliberately trying to get closer to her and was just talking nonsense.
However, Xu Qing was a disciple of the Heavenly Sect and the renowned deputy head of a medical family, so this unreliable reason seemed exceptionally plausible to the Moon Goddess.
Although the Yin-Yang School is based on Zou Zi's Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory, it was also influenced by Yang Zhu's teachings. Therefore, Xu Qing's benevolent heart seemed somewhat strange to the Moon Goddess.
"Is this all you do? You rush to help anyone with a mental illness? There are so many people in the world, can you help them all?" the Moon Goddess couldn't help but ask back.
"The world is so vast, how can one person possibly save it all? But since we've encountered this situation, it's only right that I lend a helping hand. This is my way, and it's what I should do."
Xu Qing sighed softly, a hint of melancholy on her face, and said in a low voice.
“Compared to me, I think you're the one who needs guidance,” the Moon Goddess said.
"So fate brought us together. Fate brought two melancholy people together in the vast sea of people, giving them the opportunity to confide in each other. Isn't this destiny?" Xu Qing said with a light laugh.
He's serious about flirting with girls. For girls from the Yin-Yang School, it's not enough to just be sincere; you also have to start from the destiny they believe in.
This way, the relationship between the two people can be brought closer without them even realizing it.
The Moon Goddess was taken aback at first, then realized that Xu Qing was teasing her again. She turned her head slightly to look at the bamboo forest across the lake, trying to hide her unconcealed shyness, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
Xu Qing couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Moon Goddess's appearance.
Although the Moon God is very powerful, his opponent is a naive and innocent girl, just like the kind of obedient girl he met in his previous life.
Because she was well-protected by her family growing up and had never been in a relationship, she had a very vague understanding of romantic feelings. So, she would often get flustered and fall for the blond-haired guy after just a few casual flirtations.
And he's currently playing the role of the blond guy, while the Moon Goddess is that naive and innocent girl, even more innocent than his own Nongyu.
"I was just joking. If I offended you in any way, please forgive me," Xu Qing said, cupping his hands in greeting.
The Moon Goddess glanced back at Xu Qing, then turned her head away again. Xu Qing's words made her feel both shy and curious.
After all, no one had ever dared to speak to her like that before, and Xu Qing's flirting was also well-mannered and did not offend anyone.
"I'm not being offensive, but were you like this when you treated other patients before?"
After calming down, the Moon Goddess looked at Xu Qing again and asked.
"No, not really. I just noticed that the young lady seemed rather aloof. I don't know if it's due to her personality or some inner turmoil, so I thought I'd try to lighten the mood," Xu Qing said.
