Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 118: The Supreme Being is not Heartless, and the Supreme Being is not Desireless

Seven days before the Battle of Lanjiang.

"Qing Jingyuan, the battle of the Dao is about to begin, why don't we go down the mountain?"

"Don't panic."

Four days before the Battle of Linjiang.

"My Master Qing Da Zhai, aren't you panicking even now?"

"Not urgent."

Two days before the Battle of Linjiang.

"Qing Jingyuan, are you going to Dongting Lake or not? With our speed, it's still not too late for us to leave."

"Don't be impatient."

August 15th, when the sun sets.

In the Rain-Viewing Pavilion, Zhuang Buyan and Shi Qingxuan sat opposite each other at the table.

"Qingxuan admires you. You've waited until now just for the peaches in the peach forest to ripen this season so that you can use them to make wine."

Shi Qingxuan held his forehead and sighed:
"As for the art of brewing wine, I think it's just like your martial arts skills, both are extraordinary."

"If others use peaches to make wine, the wine they make is usually full-bodied and has a charming peach aroma."

"And you've been brewing peach blossom wine for more than ten or twenty years, but the taste gets more bitter every year."

"After brewing it, they didn't drink it, so they buried it under a peach forest, saying that after a few decades, it would become a mellow, delicate, and lingering wine of the highest quality."

"I have to say, your winemaking skills are truly unique, transforming the fragrance of peach blossoms and the sweetness of peaches into a bitter and astringent wine."

After hearing this, the young man in blue shirt slowly poured out two glasses of wine:
"New wine may not be as rich as aged, but it's more mellow. Considering our over ten years together, I'll treat this as a tasting wine. Please."

"Master Qingzhai has said so, how could Qingxuan not dare to give him face?"

Shi Qingxuan picked up the wine glass and smiled:
"please."

Zhuang Bu Ran also raised his glass and gestured, and they both drank it in one gulp.

Shi Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out:

"Have you mastered the art of brewing wine?"

"Since we are putting it into practice, how can we brew bitter wine?" The young man in blue shirt laughed.

Shi Qingxuan poured herself another glass without hesitation and first smelled the aroma of the wine:
"I thought the aroma of your wine this time would be the same as before, with a soft, sweet scent of peach blossoms that would make one feel as if they were in a peach forest in spring, but it's just a slick exterior with rotten cotton underneath."

She said this, took a sip of peach blossom wine, and then said:
"I didn't expect this to be so bitter, unlike the previous ones. Instead, it was sweet and mellow, with rich layers of flavor. The initial gentle sweetness was similar to the sweetness of honey, but not overly sweet, with just the right amount of natural sweetness."

"Then comes the fragrance, sweetness, and mellowness. When the wine enters the throat, there is still a faint floral and wine aroma, which makes people linger in the aftertaste and has a slight feeling of intoxication and warmth."

Shi Qingxuan added another sentence at the end:
"Your wine is delicious, but it's still a bit strong. It's best to savor it slowly."

Zhuang Bu Ran also poured himself a glass of wine and said meaningfully:
"Then I hope you will remember the lingering fragrance of flowers and the taste of this mellow wine, and do not cry uncontrollably tonight."

Shi Qingxuan said elegantly and quietly:
"Qingxuan just doesn't believe that with my current martial arts cultivation of the perfect heavenly realm and the perfect state of mind, I can still be beaten to tears by you."

"Okay, let's wait and see." The young man in blue raised his glass and smiled.

Nearly two hours passed in a flash, and the moon was bright in the sky, shining brightly.

I saw the sky as dark as ink, with a full moon hanging high in the sky, as crystal clear and flawless as a jade plate. The bright silver light poured down, covering the earth with a hazy veil.

"Qing Jing Yuan, it is now roughly the Xu hour. In two hours, it will be the Zi hour, which is also the time when the Dao theory will be broken."

Shi Qingxuan's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at the blue-shirted youth with a slightly tipsy look. Suddenly, she realized something:

"I suddenly remembered that everyone says that the Master of Qisha Zhai has the ability to fly and hide underground. Are you planning to fly to Dongting Lake on a cloud?"

"It seems that the drunk Mr. Shi is actually much more perceptive."

Zhuang Bu Ran stood up, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and murmured softly:
"There is a bright moon in my heart, and reunion will last forever."

"I didn't realize that Master Qingzhai has such a talent for poetry." Shi Qingxuan stood up and walked to the side of the young man in blue shirt.

"I am a sorcerer who can tell fortunes, so I can steal the moon poems of my juniors."

Shi Qingxuan was speechless and sighed:

"For a moment, Qingxuan didn't know whether to say you are shameless or that you have great magical powers."

"The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright, it's just right to take you away from the smell of alcohol." Zhuang Bu Ran waved his sleeves, and a vine wrapped around Shi Qingxuan's slender waist. The two of them jumped up one after the other and blended into the night.

The moment before midnight.

Outside Dongting Lake, in addition to 5,000 cavalry patrolling around, there were also 20,000 elite troops stationed.

Above the lake, there is an island that stands tall and hundreds of feet high.

Then they saw warships gathering around the war island, patrolling back and forth to prevent any accidents. In addition, there were more than ten huge ships, and all the forces from the martial arts world were on them.

At this time, six small boats broke through the waves like arrows and shot towards the isolated island.

As they approached, the people on the boat took off, showing an extremely high level of lightness skills. After a few breaths, they landed at various places on the top of the mountain.

Kou Zhong looked out at the lake and laughed heartily:
"Dongting Lake, 800 miles long, shares the same color with the sky. The emerald waves ripple, and the mist is vast. It's as if this vast expanse of water is the only thing left between heaven and earth. With such a beautiful view, it's no wonder that my master chose this place for his discussion of the Dao."

Ning Daoqi stroked his beard and said:

"Today I realize how vast Dongting Lake is, where the water meets the sky, and the scenery is magnificent. I even regret not staying here for a few years."

Suddenly, a gentle and peaceful voice seemed to come from the full moon in the sky:

"Master Ning, if you retreat this time, you can stay in Dongting for a few years."

Not only the six people at the top of the mountain saw two figures falling from the sky.

The same was true for the people watching the battle outside the island. A look of astonishment instantly appeared on their faces. Although most of them had heard of the deeds of the Master of Qi Sha Zhai, they still found it incredible and hard to believe.

But this scene tonight makes people believe it.

I saw a man with flying white hair and clouds and mist all around him, slowly descending to the top of the mountain like a celestial being.

One person just watching from afar seems to be able to feel the pure and unworldly temperament, and vaguely see the incomparably beautiful jade-like face.

"Disciple greets Master."

When Kou and Xu saw the visitor, they couldn't help but salute.

Especially Kou Zhong, he no longer has the majesty and domineering aura of a founding emperor, and seems to have become a young man who has just entered the world of martial arts.

"You have aged quite a bit."

"My dear teacher, your achievements are as great as those of nature. How can I compare to him?" said Xu Ziling.

"Zi Ling, if you continue to hold on to this idea, you will be the first to die."

The young man in blue looked out at the mirror-like lake and said calmly:

"I have been cultivating my character for twenty years, and I am just saying one more piece of nonsense."

"Tonight, we will discuss the Dao. You will either die or shatter the void. If you don't leave now, it will be too late."

"I'm happy with it. Please help me break it!" said Kankan, who still looked like a girl, with a sweet smile.

"I have a sword named Emperor. Please take a look at it, Master." Kou Zhong held the hilt of the sword.

Xu Ziling said solemnly:

"I also have a method, and I would like to ask Master for your guidance."

"I have been sharpening knives for decades. I hope you will give me some advice." Song Que stood with the knife in his hand.

"If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening. I will die in the pursuit of the way of heaven, and I have no regrets!" Ning Daoqi said seriously.

"I have been practicing hard for twenty years, just for this day." Shi Zhixuan said expressionlessly.

The young man in blue shirt glanced at Shi Qingxuan and said leisurely:

"Don't say anything. If you open your mouth again, I'm afraid the Evil King will lose his patience and will destroy me and him immediately."

Shi Qingxuan pursed her lips and smiled:
"Master Qingzhai, do you know why? It's because some people know their own nature very well. When they see someone with a temperament even worse than their own, it's hard not to feel a surge of emotion."

After hearing this, a strange look appeared in the eyes of the people on the field. The emotions in Kou and Xu's eyes were the most inexplicable, as if they couldn't believe it.

"The highest state of forgetfulness is not without emotion; the highest state of desire is not without desire."

“I treat all things with love, and I see all beings with compassion.”

The young man in blue shirt stood with his hands behind his back and said:

"Tonight, if you can catch my eye, even if my strength is not up to par, I will destroy you. Why don't you take action?"
