Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mandate of Heaven Is Inviolable
The night was sultry, and my steps seemed a little staggering, perhaps because of the suspicions, and at the moment my heart was mixed.
I came to the place where Master Guanyin received us during the day, but fortunately, there was no one to stop us along the way, but it was quiet and terrifying.
I'm not sure I'll see Kannon at this time, but I'd like to give it a try, but the results are gratifying, and when I look at the lotus platform, I'm sitting cross-legged on my knees alone, my eyes closed.
I deliberately took my steps lightly and didn't dare to make any noise, because I didn't know how to speak yet.
But although Master Guanyin closed his eyes, he seemed to have known about my arrival, and without me knowing, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Why are you waiting for you to come here late at night? ”
I was frightened and staggered, but I quickly adjusted my mentality, bowed down and saluted: "Master Guanyin, the junior Lin Pianhong has something to inquire about. ”
Master Guanyin slowly opened his eyes, then looked at me, and asked suspiciously: "Disciple of the Tang Dynasty, right?" Say, what's the matter? ”
"Yes." I nodded, and then recounted all the things I had done on the stage and Cheng Yanjin's instructions to Master Guanyin.
After listening to this, Master Guanyin didn't say anything for a long time, but stared at me like a torch, as if he wanted to see me through, and I didn't dare to move, so I had to wait for the other party's answer.
"You come closer."
"Huh? Master Guanyin, what do you say? ”
"I told you to come closer to me."
"Uh, good, good......"
As I approached Guanyin, he suddenly pulled out a willow branch inserted in a bottle and spilled a drop of water at me. I suddenly felt a coolness all over my body, not only did the little tiredness disappear, but I also became more and more energetic, and the blood in my body seemed to be flowing rapidly.
Guanyin didn't speak, and I didn't dare to speak.
After a while, Master Guanyin frowned tightly, and said as if talking to himself: "Strange, very strange......"
"Master Guanyin, what are you talking about?" I couldn't help but wonder.
Hearing my inquiry, Master Guanyin shook his head gloomily and said, "I don't know, I don't know, it's just that the situation in your body is different from ordinary people, or rather, you are not human." ”
"Huh? What the? No...... Not human? Master Guanyin, don't be kidding! What is it that a junior is not a human being? "It bolds me.
Master Guanyin shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't give a specific answer, but the destiny is like this, you don't have to go against the sky." ”
"Destiny? What Destiny? I said.
Master Guanyin swore and said: "The so-called destiny of heaven is everyone's destiny, and it is the natural law of everyone's existence in the six realms and three realms, and no one can change their life against the sky, so when you experience or encounter any strange things, don't panic, that is what you should encounter in your destiny, so, the answer you want is dispensable, not so important, isn't it?" ”
I was a little anxious: "Master Guanyin, why isn't it important?" Important! My master said that you must be able to answer for the juniors, this ...... This and this ......"
Master Guanyin smiled abruptly and said: "Then you go back and tell your master that everyone's life has an irresistible problem, and we can do it, only to help, but not to help him change his life, do you understand what I mean?" ”
I nodded as if I didn't understand, "Uh, that'...... Master Guanyin, the younger generation is like this, if you encounter that situation again, will you die? ”
"Life and death also exist in the number of lives, so why not live? What's the point of dying? Master Guanyin didn't seem to want to speak anymore, so he slowly closed his eyes.
I was bored with myself, so I didn't ask any more questions, but bowed again, and turned away.
When I got back to my room, it was late at night, and I wondered why I bothered to ask for it, since Master Guanyin couldn't give me the answer in my body. It's better to see everything, take care of him three seven twenty-one, besides, if the king of Hades wants me to go on the third watch, he will never keep me until the fifth watch!
That night, I slept soundly, until the next morning, when there was a knock on my door.
"Senior Brother Lin, are you awake? It's time for us to go. It was Bai Rou's voice.
I was a little embarrassed, so I quickly got up and dressed, cleaned up briefly, and opened the door, only to see that there was not only Bai Rou outside the door, but also the two Lin Xi and Xiaolongnu who buried me last night.
"Yo, good fellow, you're really not afraid of life! I sleep so soundly everywhere! Admire, admire! Lin Xi began to laugh again like he did last night.
I glanced at Lin Xi and replied impatiently, "I said this Lin girl, where did I offend you?" If you give me a happy word, I'll change it, will it? ”
Lin Xi pouted and said, "Hmm...... didn't offend me, it's just that this girl is curious why the Tang Dynasty Government sent you? ”
Without waiting for me to respond, the little dragon girl beside him pulled the corner of Lin Xi's clothes and whispered, "Lin Xi, let's go, let's ...... Let's leave other people's affairs alone......"
"Don't be afraid, little worm! You and I all know how important and sacred this guarding the God of War Mountain is, I'm just curious! While Lin Xi comforted the little dragon girl, he didn't forget to roll his eyes at me.
I didn't want to bother with it, but I didn't want to make it too stiff, after all, the two of them had saved my life before, so I had to hide my eyes to the sidelines.
Bai Rou noticed my situation, so she pulled out of the way and stood in front of me, and asked Lin Xi and the others: "I'm sorry, the decision of our Tang Dynasty Mansion is not the turn of you two outsiders to speculate and suspect here, we still have to hurry, please get out of the way." ”
"Huh...... We didn't talk to you......"
"Get out of the way!"
Under Lin Xi and Xiaolongnu, as well as my consternation, I saw Bai Rou take the lead in holding my hand, pushed Lin Xi and Xiaolongnu away, and walked forward. Only Lin Xi and Xiaolongnu were left with wide eyes, you look at me, I look at you.
After walking a long distance, Bai Rou let go of my hand, I felt the temperature from Bai Rou's hand, and my heart was very moved, so I said a little embarrassed: "Senior sister, just ...... Thank you for helping me out! ”
When I said this, a trace of crimson appeared on Bai Rou's face, and then she said without looking back: "No...... It's nothing, let's hurry. ”
Immediately after saying goodbye to Master Guanyin, and the chief disciple of Putuo Mountain, Liyue, in Liyue's mouth, I learned that the smoke of Huasheng Temple and Li Qingxian of Fangcun Mountain had already said goodbye and left, so Bai Rou and I accelerated the pace of going back.
On the way back to the Tang Mansion, it was quite calm, and the demon king Xiao Xiaoxin I had seen before did not appear again, and it only took three days for Bai Rou and I to arrive at the Tang Mansion.
When Bai Rou and I had just walked into the Tang Dynasty Mansion, Bai Han ran over to meet us.
"Senior sister, Senior Brother Lin, you're back! Is there still a lot of peace on the road? Bai Han said with concern.
I nodded, which was a response, and Bai Rou repeated it to Bai Han in detail, including the matter of the demon king Xiao Xiaoxin who I had met before, and the matter of the smoke in the Huasheng Temple, all of which were repeated.
When Bai Rou finished speaking, I couldn't wait to pull Bai Han and Bai Rou to meet my master Cheng Yanjin.
When the three of us came to the quiet room where the master rested, the chief disciple of the Tang Dynasty Mansion, Senior Brother Shadow, was also there, and I saw that the two of them were discussing something, but after seeing the three of us coming in, they all set their eyes on the three of us.
"Coming back?" Cheng Yanjin asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Bai Rou and I nodded in unison.
"How? Not bad, right? Is it safe on the road? ”
"It's okay, it's just ......"
Immediately afterwards, Bai Rou retold the things she had just retold to Bai Han, and retold them all to her master Cheng Yanjin.
After listening to Bai Rou's retelling, Cheng Yanjin only nodded slightly, and then waved his hand at Bai Han and Bai Rou and said, "Okay, you two go out first, I want to talk to you Senior Brother Lin about some small things." ”
Bai Han and Bai Rou were surprised by each other, but they were helpless, so they had to lower their heads and leave each other's rooms.
"O Pianhong! Go, close the door. Cheng Yanjin commanded at me.
I frowned, a little confused, but quickly closed the door.
"Sit down, sit with your shadow brother." Cheng Yanjin then commanded.
I wondered again, but I did so, and sat side by side with the shadow in front of Cheng Yanjin. However, I can clearly feel that there is a sense of seriousness in the air right now.
Then, Cheng Yanjin didn't take the lead in asking about guarding the God of War Mountain, but instead sounded about the strange situation in my body.
I shook my head helplessly, and replied: "Master Hui, Master Guanyin said that she didn't know what was going on in my body, and she also said...... Let me look away a little bit, and say that the destiny cannot be violated......"
"That's right! It seems that Sister Guanyin also agrees with my point of view! ”
"Opinions? Master, what point of view? I asked, surprised.
saw Cheng Biting Jin hurriedly bypassing the topic and interrupted: "Uh, haha, it's nothing, it's nothing, since Sister Guanyin has said so, don't worry, it's not a big deal!" The so-called destiny cannot be violated, right? ”
I was curious, but I didn't ask any more.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yanjin asked about guarding the God of War Mountain, talking about the guarding of the God of War Mountain, I couldn't help but be angry, and before Cheng Yanjin finished asking, I snapped and said: "Master, you lied to me!" Didn't you say before that I should go on a tour? Dare you trick me into doing the mission! ”
"Haha!" Cheng Yanjin laughed heartily and said, "Isn't this a better trip?" In vain! Do you think, after a long journey, and still receive such an important task, isn't this a better trip for you? ”
"I ......," I was speechless.
Seeing this, the shadow on the side smiled slightly and said: "Senior brother, you should be happy, after all, such an important task, the master is willing to trust you, and if you are another disciple, the master is not like this." ”
I reluctantly smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, since you have already decided, master, the disciple can just do it." ”……
