Chapter 138: Drinking to drown your sorrows, a dead end ahead
One step down.
Illusion arises.
The scenes that happened in the past reappeared before my eyes.
The heart is dissected cleanly.
But this was nothing to Mu Qin. She was always cold and indifferent, never flattering others. Although most of her daily actions were not good, they were all done with a clear conscience.
So, she walked very fast in the first half.
It only took a few breaths.
When you reach the second half.
Her footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Don't you really think that the road ahead for incense is difficult, or even a dead end?"
Ripples appeared on the Bridge of Inquiry, and a voice suddenly appeared in her heart.
She gulped.
I want to refute, but I can't.
Because this is the most real voice from deep in her heart.
She continued walking.
Things deeper in the heart are gradually being unearthed.
"Are you Zhao Qing or Mu Qin?"
"You claim to be heartless, but is that really the case? Do you really have no emotions in your heart? Apart from your disciple, is there no one else in your heart?"
"The road is narrow. Every time you make a decision, are you really as resolute as you appear to be, without wavering at all?"
"Mu Qin is you, and Zhao Qing is also you? It's just an excuse. From the beginning to the end, you are just Zhao Qing, and Mu Qin is just a disguise."
"You have been living in disguise, and in the end you have forgotten your true self. Isn't the way you follow false?"
"You are so nice to Si Nian, isn't it because she looks like both Mu Qin and Zhao Qing?"
"Are you really not ashamed of your disciple?"
……
One voice after another echoed in my heart.
It's like the sharpest thorn in the world.
Mu Qin's real name was Zhao Qing, but the name "Zhao Qing" had been buried for a long time. Ever since she entered the shogunate and was given the name "Mu Qin", Zhao Qing had been dead.
With Mu Qin's body, he fought his way out of the dangerous world of cultivation and earned the title of "Immortal Master" from others.
How tenacious is the Tao heart.
If the spiritual energy is not exhausted.
She has always been Muqin.
Or.
If she had not met that certain person, even if both her lives were lost at the hands of the fortune teller, she would still be Mu Qin, just Mu Qin.
Can be biased.
Someone told her
"Forget the Great Way"
Yes.
Only by forgetting the Tao can one be the true self, the twin of the Tao. How sad it is that she is destined to wander and struggle between not getting what she wants, losing and regaining.
This Tao heart is almost flawless.
But it is difficult to cross this white jade bridge.
A thud.
Her realm fell.
She had fallen completely from the peak of Refining Void to the late stage of Refining Void. Even at this moment, when the spiritual energy revived, it would be difficult for her to move forward even a single step.
"Do you really not feel the slightest bit of guilt towards the people of Dragon City?"
Another question.
Mu Qin's back was already soaked with cold sweat.
The horrific disaster appeared before my eyes.
The rolling flood submerged Dragon City.
How many people died for this?
She had the ability to stop it. If time could go back, she might have chosen to go into the South China Sea to capture and kill the dragon and put an end to the flood.
But she didn't.
It only left the mother river with two lines of blood and tears.
The Hemu Temple was developed and flourished in Longcheng and is considered one of the starting points. The incense, daily prayers, and heartfelt thoughts of thousands of people cannot be repaid with just two lines of blood and tears.
The road is very narrow. After all, those people in Longcheng are the sentient beings abandoned by her. In Mu Qin's view, this is understandable. Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. If they are abandoned, they are abandoned. Mu Qin's heart is as hard as stone.
But she is Zhao Qing after all, and she doesn’t even know it herself. She is Zhao Qing, so... she feels guilty, but she doesn’t know that she feels guilty.
Speaking of this matter.
It was the man in white again who stopped the dragon from wreaking havoc.
yes……
This bridge of self-questioning should be easy for him, right?
Mu Qin thought of this.
He looked up at the dark passage ahead.
She could feel that someone was standing in the darkness, watching her.
A few more steps.
"What were you thinking about at that moment under the peach tree?"
"As the founder of the folk incense industry, you know that this path is not feasible, but you can't extricate yourself..."
"You know the horror of karma. You know you will die, eventually. You even... you have noticed a thin line spreading across your abdomen... This is karma. It is a disease, a terminal illness!"
……
tread--
last step.
Mu Qin's face was pale and she almost fainted the moment she passed the Bridge of Conscience.
This bridge of conscience dealt her a heavy blow.
Although it cannot be said that all his cultivation has disappeared.
But she also fell from the peak of the Void Refinement to the late stage of the Void Refinement. Even before she came down from the Bridge of Questioning the Heart, a voice sounded in her heart again, which almost put her cultivation level of the late stage of the Void Refinement at risk.
Whether it is the main road or the new road, it is all over for her.
She stood up slowly.
His lips were pale, his face was bloodless, and there were still some beads of sweat on his forehead.
There is more morbid beauty.
There was an indescribable complexity in her eyes.
The Eighteenth Hell is right in front of you, and the biggest secret of Kukoji Temple is right there.
But she did not move forward.
Just standing there, looking inside.
There was total darkness in the field of vision.
I can't clearly see what's inside.
But she just watched quietly.
A layer of darkness.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
She couldn't see Li Changxiao clearly, but Li Changxiao could see her clearly.
One person stood in the darkness, and the other stood in front of the Bridge of Conscience.
I don’t know what I’m thinking.
I do not know how long it has been.
Mu Qin withdrew her gaze, turned around, crossed the Bridge of Inquiry and left.
No one knows that the biggest secret of Jiuxiang Temple is right before our eyes.
Why didn't she go?
The bridge of conscience is hard to come across, but easy to go back.
Mu Qin's steps were unsteady and weak. She walked very slowly, and her slightly thin back was slowly swallowed up by the darkness.
Until you can no longer see it.
Li Changxiao stood in the darkness for a long time.
Unscrew the wine cork, drink up all the wine, then change to another gourd and drink up all the wine.
……
Mu Qin reunited with Si Nian and others. She told them that she met the Buddha of Incense on the seventeenth floor. The two fought each other. Although she won, her cultivation level fell to the late stage of Refining Void.
Mu Qin was confused, so she didn't explain much and returned to the inn with the two of them. After resting for a night, she returned to Lingtianzhou.
Si Nian felt something was wrong and was worried, but he couldn't say anything. He could only keep it in mind.
The group returned to the inn after a long absence. By then the turmoil in Buddhist city had almost subsided. The thirteen major temples underwent a major reshuffle, with new rulers taking office and old ones stepping down. This is how things in the world are.
The group didn't care about these things. After returning to the inn, Li Tianyu waved his hand and, with his strong financial resources, called the waiter and asked him to bring all the best food.
No matter how good the food in Buddha City is, it is just so-so. However, there are often wanderers staying in the inn, who secretly store a few jars of wine, which are just ordinary strong liquor. The taste is not good, nor is it fragrant. It cannot be compared with other places, but in Buddha City, it is like contraband nectar.
Seeing that the group was rich and powerful, the waiter lowered his body and whispered to the guests, asking them if they wanted to drink. If they wanted to drink, he would follow them to the kitchen and drink secretly.
Li Tianyu was a prince, how could he do such a sneaky thing? He refused it on the spot. He didn't care about the wine.
After a simple meal, the three of them returned to their rooms. They didn’t bring much luggage with them, so after a simple night’s rest, they could leave the next day.
Si Nian returned to her room, but couldn't fall asleep. She felt that her master was different, which made her feel uneasy. She simply got up from the bed, put on her clothes, shoes and socks, and went to knock on her master's room.
After several calls, there was no response.
She gently pushed open the door, but her master had already gone somewhere unknown.
She was looking for the inn and happened to meet the waiter, so she asked him if he had seen her master.
The waiter chuckled and said that he had actually seen her before. He said that the beauty took a few taels of silver and sold wine in the store when the store was closing time. She sold three large jars of wine at once. Wow, this wine is enough to knock down several grown men. I wonder what a little girl bought it for.
Si Nian asked again about the direction he was going, but the waiter shook his head. She had no choice but to search blindly. Finally, as the night grew darker, she had to return to the inn.
And at this time.
A woman carried three large jars of liquor and walked alone towards a deserted mountain.
It was quiet all around except for the sound of the woman's footsteps.
She climbed up the barren mountain, and finally sat down on a hilltop, unsealing the wax cloth that sealed the wine.
She picked up the jar of wine and poured the wine into her mouth until it was finished, and a blush appeared on her face.
She opened another can, raised the jar, shouted "cheers", and drank in big gulps.
today.
Some people drink to drown their sorrows.
But I am even more worried.
