The Spirit World

Chapter 925 Water Covering
【Prajnaparamita Mountain】

The wind rises, the clouds are still, and the mountains are clear.

This mountain is somewhat lonely. How can it be said that it was lively before but not lively now? It is hard to say. After all, time has passed, things have changed, and people have changed. It is desolate and sad.

"Is it going to rain again today..."

He looked up at the sky. The clouds were rolling, the birds were flying, and the summer insects were chirping.

"Little girl? Go and put away the clothes. It's going to rain heavily today." He turned around and shouted into the house, slowly put the book in his hand into his sleeves, and got down from the rocking chair.

He was eight feet tall, handsome as a daffodil, and had generous manners. With a wave of his gorgeous robe, he swung it evenly and put the huge rocking chair into his sleeves.

"Oh! Here she comes!" A girl whom he called "girl" ran out hurriedly from the huge room, stepped over the threshold of the old house, and walked towards him with trembling steps. The clothes hanging in the courtyard were swaying in the wind. There were clothes for adults and children, and there were many kinds of clothes. Perhaps she was going on a long journey and washed all the clothes.

The little girl was wearing a little red dress made of white silk. She had to hold onto her skirt to avoid stepping on it when she jogged. She had two round buns and a small gold lock. Bells dangled on her ankles, making a clattering and tinkling sound, singing a clear song.

The girl wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand. He saw it and couldn't help but laugh and shook his head helplessly: "You ate secretly again... If you keep eating like this, you won't be satisfied until you turn into a ball... This time it's a shortbread, next time it's a meatball, and the next time and the next time..."

Before he could finish his scolding, the girl retorted, ran into the house with a pile of clothes, and rolled her eyes at him as she went.

"Master only cooks but doesn't eat. Isn't it a waste of such delicious food? Rather than wasting it, it's better for me to eat it all... so that the house won't be infested with rats again..."

She turned around and ran into the house, quickly putting the clothes into the inner room.

She ran out in a hurry again, and passed by the master who had been standing there watching her run away, and said something playfully.

"Master, did you make this for me? I ate it, didn't I? I didn't expect Master to be so stingy! He's talking nonsense after eating such a small amount..."

Instead, she sighed angrily, the dimples on her face bulged, and she hurriedly ran to pick up the clothes on the bamboo pole. She turned around and picked up the clothes and hurried back, staring at the master with resentful eyes, and looked at her.

"Hmph, Master is the worst... He always has to complain... Hmph..."

After that, she hurried back and forth to collect the clothes inside and outside, and stood by and watched her master with a wink, as if she had also been wronged, with her hands on her waist, like an old hen with her head held high, and said tirelessly: "You girl, every day here, you either eat or sleep... I don't eat, but you should also be moderate and know that three meals are for food, instead of running to eat whenever you are hungry, regardless of the natural human law. Before dinner time, you eat and eat to fill your empty stomach, then when it is time for dinner, you go out to have fun and sleep with a full stomach. Is that the way people should live?"

He was furious.

"The way of nature is natural. It is natural to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Just take the three meals a day as an example. What the human stomach desires must be what people think. There are rules to follow when the stomach is full and when the stomach rests. Nature has its way... Nature..."

"Master! Stop chanting, stop chanting..."

She went into the inner room, sat on the pile of clothes on the bed, and began to fold them one by one.

From the cuffs to the collar to the lining, from summer clothes to winter clothes to long skirts, all the clothes were hers, not a single one of her master's clothes.

"It's just a matter of eating a few pastries, meatballs, shrimp dumplings, banyan buns, and fish balls. Chef, don't make a fuss about it."

There was really flashing lightning in the sky.

After a while, it began to rain.

The rain was so cold that the master hurriedly hid in the inner room, but half of his clothes were still wet. He pulled out the hairpin that was holding his long hair and stroked it with his hand. The rain all over his body fell off, and his body was clean again. The hairpin flew from his hand to his head, and his long hair was held up strand by strand, and he looked handsome again.

"These alone are enough to turn you into a ball, how come you don't know? When you go down the mountain, you can't eat more, there are so many monsters and demons down there! How can life be good without a meal? Let me tell you, you said there are so many delicious foods down there, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but those are not yours, how can you not worry about food and clothing?" "Master, you have a lot to eat, but there is none down there. You are too young to understand these, you don't understand the sufferings of the people, which people can survive without three meals a day? If you worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation every day, how can you have the good life in the mountain?"

"As long as you get down the mountain, you will live like an ordinary person."

"Oh, I know, I know. Isn't it just sleeping in the open air, drinking ice in summer and snow in winter? If I eat more now, I won't be afraid in the future, right?" She still didn't understand the hardships of people living in the mountains.

"Once you fall into the human world, you must endure all kinds of sufferings in the human world, and having a full stomach may be just a tiny part of it."

In the rain, there were debris similar to ice crystals that broke on the ground, filling the entire Prajnaparamita Mountain with a sudden chill.

"Forget about love, hate, and vengeance. Just the pain of hunger is unbearable for you. How can you concentrate on practicing?"

The master spoke earnestly, then turned to look outside the house and saw someone coming out of the clouds with a golden ball.

He watched calmly as the cloud came down from the sky, floated over the mountain, and then smashed into his courtyard with a firmness as iron.

There was a sudden loud thunder and a flash of white light, which frightened the maid so much that she dropped the clothes in her hands, got out of bed quickly, and ran from the inner room to the master.

After a closer look, she saw that something had happened in just that short moment, making the entire Prajnaparamita Mountain extremely cold, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

The visitor was holding a long sword made of ice crystal.

The Nine Revolutions Spirit Pearl was humming and making a loud sound.

"My dear king..."

Lan Luo stood in front of him, as cold as ever. A concentric circle of light exploded and slowly turned behind her. [Ultimate Snow Wind Realm] moved quietly, freezing the branches of the old trees on the entire mountain. It must be not a good thing.

She hid behind her master, watching Lan Luoying rustling and the glacier running rampant.

"I don't know why the World Tree allows two causes and effects to exist... But I know that if I want to get the [only] king, I must let you."

"Destroyed into ashes!"

Lan Luo's words were full of gems, and his eyes could not hide any other emotions.

She was even frighteningly cold, just like always, always... like this...

"Long time no see... Lanluo..."

The master protected her behind him, and for a moment she thought Lan Luo was coming for her.

He stroked her head gently with his hand and moved her closer to his waist.

But she refused to do so and kept secretly looking at Lan Luo, the great devil with eyes full of hatred.

"Lan Luo, this kind of [cause and effect], even you... would be afraid?"
