Red Heart Survey

"He knows that Mei Yue from Sanfenxiang Tower is Yu Zhen from Xiyue Temple."

"He lived in Xiyue Temple for a while. I believe that Nun Yuankong, who was trying to achieve transcendence in Tianhai, was the biggest backer of Nun Yuzhen. But Yuankong had already failed to achieve transcendence, and without Emperor Qiwu's painting of another world, his current status is unknown."

"Rakshasa Mingyuejing's will may not be resisted by Yuankong."

"So there is a high probability that Meiyue is unable to be independent."

"He sincerely hoped that all of Meiyue's actions were forced upon him."

"I also hope that Master Yuankong's inaction on Yu Zhen is because she is unable to do so, and not because she is unwilling to do so."

"But reason told him that Meiyue regarded human life as worthless and didn't care about other people's lives at all."

"Reason also told him that Master Yuankong might have some kind of relationship with Luosha Mingyuejing."

"So he came to Xiyue Temple, paid the price, exchanged benefits, and pushed for the result."

The sound in the Moon on the Moon seems like it is really the Moon on the Moon.

Higher than the human world, untainted by dust.

With a coolness without any emotion, everything is left out to dry.

"He is indeed a kind-hearted person, always willing to think of others with the greatest kindness. But he lives very soberly. After being tempered by suffering, he put on a scabby armor and understood how to move forward and how to fight."

"If such a person chooses Yuzhen, then that would be the best outcome. Since he did not choose Yuzhen, then leaving no hope would be the best outcome."

Yuankong said slowly: "Yuzhen is very smart. If I take action now, she will definitely figure out who did what."

"So it's better to be so."

"What I miss is in the clouds, what I remember is in the past, I have no worries, I wake up from the dream."

"And she once again walked out of the bloody quagmire and won the right to breathe entirely through her own struggle."

"She can finally feel the night."

“Although it may be painful, cold, and dark, if you keep moving forward, you will eventually reach the starry sky.”

She originally had the opportunity to achieve success in the Dao and become the foundation of Xiyue Temple, but unfortunately her dream was shattered in Zhongzhou.

Of course, now that she has cultivated into the Pure Land of Moonless Glaze, the road ahead is open again. Having been a human twice, she walks a little slower, but more determined.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes of serving the master that she heard him say so many words at once.

Although it is the moon above the earth, it cannot help but be moved by the feelings of the human world and feel the same way as the picture before it, right?

Yue Tiannu thought. The master might have thought of Emperor Wu of Qi. That great man who shone in the history books, was eventually cut off from the sea of ​​​​sky and sea, with no prospect of returning.

The master will have to find his own way in the future... So is eternal separation a kind of rebirth?

She looked at the clouds under the moon, and realized that this black umbrella in the human world could not cover the drizzle in her heart. The sound of the gears grinding was somehow a little sour: "I have known Yuzhen for so long, and this is the first time I heard her cry, and it's not charming at all."

"Before everything started, Yuzhen had no confidence in escaping. This is the cemetery she... chose for herself." Nun Ciming sighed, "Compassion is not perfect, or love is regretful."

The fate started in Zhuang Country, so it was reasonable to choose an unknown hill in Zhuang Country and bury the body near the maple forest.

You can see the raised tomb on the top of this mountain. The tombstone with "Forever in the Underworld" is the entrance to Fenglin Underworld. Zhenhe Zhenjun has achieved the pinnacle and came here to add a seal. The people who rest in the Underworld will never be disturbed.

It’s more than just a cemetery… Yue Tiannu thought.

Although she is now a real person in the world, there is still a huge gap between her and the contemporary abbot of Xiyue Temple.

If Sister Ci Ming couldn’t see it, then of course she couldn’t see it either.

But she has a deeper understanding of Yu Zhen.

She believed that Yu Zhen was the kind of person who would never give up. Facing Luosha Mingyuejing was of course a desperate situation, but in this desperate situation, there must be some preparation. She would not just wait to be slaughtered and pin everything on Luosha Mingyuejing's mood.

If Luosha Mingyuejing had refused to raise his hand just now, and the master had not come over...what would have happened?

She couldn't imagine it, but she believed something would happen. Maybe it would be terrible.

However, she did not speak out this guess, but only said carefully: "Ancestor, is it possible that Luosha Mingyuejing has discovered you?"

"I borrowed your Pure Land Hidden Moon on purpose. After all, glass is spotless and dust can easily hide. She shouldn't be able to find out." The voice in the Moon on the Moon said, "But her strength is not inferior to mine. She has been in charge of the Three-Point Fragrance Tower for so many years, so she may have some other means. So I shouldn't be too confident. The possibility of her finding out... is 30% to 70%."

"Disciple has always wanted to ask, but I don't know if I can ask--" Yue Tiannu raised his eyes: "What is the relationship between Luosha Mingyuejing and you?"

The secret connection between Xiyue Temple and Sanfenxiang Tower has been going on for many years.

Even the intelligence center of Sanfenxiang Tower can be accessed by Xiyue Temple Master at any time.

But this secret relationship has only been known to a few people and is the deepest secret of Xiyue Temple.

Apart from the abbot, only the head monks of the three halls like Yue Tiannu knew about it.

Yu Zhen's cultivation as Mei Yue was an attempt, and it was also a move made by the ancestor to Sanfenxiang Pavilion... But why did Sanfenxiang Pavilion agree? It also truly opened the core promotion channel, allowing Mei Yue to go all the way to the first place in Xinxiang.

Mei Yue did work very hard, but this was not something that could be achieved simply by working very hard.

The voice in the Moon on the Moon said, "The biggest difference between you and your Senior Sister Ciming is this—she knows what she should know, and she already knows it. So she doesn't want to know what she shouldn't know."

The old nun Ciming was already the head of a nunnery, but she was still respectful and modest in front of Yuankong, with her eyes lowered and no words spoken.

Yue Tiannu immediately bowed and said, "This puppet often has a reckless mood... I am sorry for the disrespect."

Being a puppet is indeed a good excuse. I hope she can become a Bodhisattva in the future and not use this as an excuse anymore.

Nun Yuankong seemed to laugh: "Anu. But this is exactly why I prefer you. Ciming is too sensible, so sensible that I can't worry about her...I need her to worry about me instead."

Once the word "preference" is uttered, the answer will obviously be revealed.

Nun Ciming raised her eyes. Although she didn't have to know the answer, she was actually curious about the answer to the question.

Having been in charge of Xiyue Temple for so many years, she had a vague guess - Sanfenxiang Tower might be the sect's backup plan left by the ancestors, to be used when the sect is in danger, in order to continue the Taoist tradition.

But even if we speculate with the most optimistic attitude about Sanfenxiang Tower, the relationship between the founder and Luosha Mingyuejing will determine whether it will really have an optimistic effect in the future.

The Moon on the Moon was silent for a moment, confirming once again that the colors in the cave had faded.

"To be honest, there is no need to be vague about it anymore."

Master Yuankong finally said, "The initial establishment of Sanfenxiang Pavilion was indeed supported by our Xiyue Temple, but it was not only Xiyue Temple... but also Qi State."

Both Ciming Lao Ni and Yue Tiannu were shocked.

How many years has Sanfenxianglou been developing in Qi? It was only with the relationship of the distinguished guest we discussed tonight that it was able to gain a foothold in Linzi.

How did it become related to Qi State?

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.

"It's just as you thought." Master Yuankong said, "Whether it's the Xiyue Temple or the Sanfenxiang Tower today, they all originated from Wujiu's layout back then."

"In an era when the world is firmly in control, it is extremely difficult to achieve hegemony. The right time, right place, and right people are all essential. No matter how hard you try in the East Region, you will be watched by powerful enemies. Therefore, Wu Jiu has long set his sights on the outside of the East Region, intending to use the shell of the world's largest clan to develop away from the sight of the hegemon."

"Once my wings are fully grown, I will use the East Region as my foundation, and use the Moon Washing Temple and the Three Fragrance Tower as my wings to establish my hegemony in one fell swoop, and even seek to conquer the world."

"But the world is so big that heroes emerge in large numbers, and heroes always kill heroes. None of those who control the order of the world are fools. He has already caused too much fear, and even though he has repeatedly hidden himself in the East Region, no one is willing to give him time to develop."

"At that time, Jing, Chu, and Mu were suppressing him. His sworn brother, Shaoguo Yunhui, also defected in front of the enemy. He was forced by all parties and knew that he would die. Instead, he cut off the connection with Xiyue Temple and Sanfenxiang Pavilion... He pushed me into a clay statue, locked the Xiyue Mountain Gate, and asked me to wait and recuperate. I could not come out without his message. He wanted to make a final fight."

"Later, I finally got news from him."

"He did win the war...but he had to abdicate and inevitably died."

"Fate had already decided its fate, but he fell on the road to changing it."

Nun Yuankong is always on the moon above the moon, never showing her face, and her voice cannot let people see any emotion.

But Yue Tiannu still felt that long-lasting emptiness.

What was the master's mood when the thoughts that had been hidden for more than a thousand years were shattered in the sea of ​​sky?

Although she practiced Zen for two lifetimes and devoted herself to it, she did not understand love. She only saw two kinds of obsession in Zushi and Yuzhen.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Perhaps the Grandmaster hoped that Yu Zhen could let go, but in fact, he hoped that he could let go...

“Incredible…” Master Ci Ming sighed, “His reputation as a playboy is widely known in the world, but his methods are truly extraordinary. If it weren’t for the wrong timing…”

Nun Yuankong's voice continued: "Seriously speaking... Luosha Mingyuejing is my junior sister."

Is he really someone from Xiyue Temple?

In Yue Tiannu's mind, a drama of fellow sisters competing for the position of abbess had already begun.

She hadn't experienced this much.

Because of the presence of the Grandmaster in the painting, all the struggles were within certain limits and could not be considered vicious. She herself was escorted all the way, and the places she arrived at were specially prepared for her.

Maybe it's not just a fight for the position of abbot?

My emotions have fluctuated so much tonight that this puppet body seems to have regained its youth.

"Back then, I entered Xiyue Temple under the tutelage of Master Dengyi... She was the abbess of Xiyue Temple at that time."

Of course, Master Yuankong could not know everything her disciple was thinking. Her voice was as soft as the moonlight, "Back then, Xiyue Temple was plagued by internal and external troubles, and it was already on the verge of collapse. She wanted to find a way forward but couldn't, and I was just about to take over and seek development from outside."

"Finally, we reached a cooperation. Wujiu handed over the Paradise Palace to her and helped her to build the Three-Point Fragrance Tower and seek the great way outside. She left the Moon Washing Temple to me, so that I could become the master of the Withered Flourish and the Moon Washing, and achieve the Zen skill myself."

"After I took over Xiyue Temple, I immediately closed the mountain and cultivated myself behind closed doors."

"Master Deng Yi faked her own death to escape, jumped into the mortal world, and fell into a sea of ​​suffering."

"We agreed that Xiyue Temple and Sanfenxiang Tower would be one dark and one bright, and from now on, we would help each other and seek the great way together... We are of the same blood. The relationship between master and disciple is deep."

The contemporary Xiyue Temple Master Ciming was still a little shocked: "Luosha Ming——"

She didn’t know if she could or should call him by his name: “The owner of Sanfenxiang Pavilion, and Grandmaster Dengyi…”

Yuankong replied, "Master Dengyi was the original Rakshasa woman. The current Rakshasa Mingyuejing is her successor. After Master Dengyi's misfortune, she took over the sect. Many people couldn't tell the difference and thought she was the original one, and she deliberately confused them. She also understood the way of the past and practiced the ancient Zen of Burning Lamp. That's why Rakshasa Mingyuejing's past is so vague that no one knows it."

She just glossed over many thrilling plots in one sentence.

Over a long period of time, there have been too many historical ups and downs.

From the perspective of the first Rakshasa woman, today's Nun Yuankong and Rakshasa Mingyuejing can indeed be considered sisters.

Yue Tiannu asked: "So today our two sects..."

Master Yuankong's voice said: "Time can change many things."

"For example, forgetting the promises we made, or destroying the means we once had to control the Three Points Fragrance Tower..."

"My master, Master Dengyi, is not a person with no ambitions. She jumped into the sea of ​​​​mortals in order to seek fame, but unfortunately she was stopped halfway. Today's Luosha Mingyuejing is not a fool. It is in her hands that the Three-Point Fragrance Tower has opened a new chapter."

"If Tianhai had succeeded last time, and Wujiu and I had both successfully transcended, then nothing would have changed. Wujiu's original arrangement was a reality that was bound to come true."

“But Wujiu no longer exists.”

"All his plans have come to naught. Not to mention his plans."

"You have to walk the road to Xiyue Temple by yourself."

"Raksha Mingyuejing is still admitting her old grudges and still calls me her senior sister. But I can only guess what she really thinks in her heart."

Speculation is often equivalent to anxiety.

After all, the two sects have the same origin. Xiyue Temple can control Sanfenxiangqi Tower, so why can't Sanfenxiangqi Tower take over Xiyue Temple in turn?

In fact, the tension between Yuankong and Luosha Mingyuejing can be seen from one thing -

During the most important and difficult Tianhai War, she never thought of asking Luosha Mingyuejing for help.

Today's question about Mei Yue's life and death is just another answer.

Ciming closed the Buddhist scripture in front of him and chanted: "Light the lamp in front of the Buddha, extinguish the fire in my heart, and use my great wisdom to illuminate the ignorance of all..."

The altar behind her lit candles and offered Buddhist lamps.

"The founder worked so hard for the great teachings, and we must not lose this Zen mind. I regret that Ciming is weak and cannot share the worries of the founder."

She added, "Ci Xin, you should try your best."

Yue Tiannu clasped his hands together in respect and said, "Namo Tianhou Bodhisattva!"

Speaking of which, in terms of the orthodoxy of Xiyue Temple, Master Yuankong is the one who has usurped the throne.

But until today, Ciming and Yuetiannu are all descendants of Yuankong. They certainly don't think that the branch that Master Dengyi left behind is the orthodox one.

Nun Dengyi died in the Crescent Bamboo Forest. The one who walked out was a Rakshasa woman.

The Taoist tradition of Xiyue Temple remains in Xiyue Temple, and the one walking in the world is the incarnation of Zen.

The voice of the Moon on the Moon said: "The more powerful we are, the more likely we are to be called by the Way of Heaven. The painting from another world that Wu Jiu left for me has been destroyed. I have no choice but to use the thread of faith to hold myself together to avoid being in harmony with the Way of Heaven. This is why I have cultivated the Bodhisattva of the Sea God."

"But the world of mortals is like a yoke. Before I achieved success in the "Method of Ascending to the Gods through the Means of the Universe", I was restricted in every way and it was difficult to move away."

"This is why Luosha Mingyuejing can deal with Yuzhen without going through me."

"She saw my weakness, and maybe she wanted to test me."

"It is really important to me that the Tiandao painting can be completed this time."

"It's best not to make a move today. I've kept a trump card for another year."

Suddenly the dark clouds cleared and the bright moon shone on the top of the mountain.

The cave was quiet and silent, no one was crying… and no one was around.
