Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

Chapter 555: A Strong Desire to Survive

Xuan Yi has been delivered to our door, so there is no need to wait for a later date to discuss the Buddhist scriptures. It is better to do it as soon as possible.

Because one day earlier or later will not make much difference. As for the inherent hidden dangers in the Buddhist scriptures, we can only deal with them as they arise, and it is difficult to prepare too much.

Chu Wuji quickly found the elders of the Immortal Family. Senior Jiujiu, who had been away for a while, also came back. Instead, Ning Xianzhi went back to the sect to refine weapons and was unable to discuss with them.

Crane Immortal felt incredible when she looked at the Ksitigarbha Sutra. As she flipped through it, she said:

"I don't know how many years this has been offered, the incense is so strong that it's unimaginable. If you put it in any dilapidated temple, it will soon become magnificent.

The Daoist Canon enshrined in the Immortal Family’s ancestral hall is probably the only thing that can surpass the aroma of incense here.”

Combined with the purchase process previously described by Xuanyi, the elders of the Immortal Family were quite surprised. This was no less than the Immortal Family disciples secretly selling the Taoist Canon for gold, silver and money.

Taoist Jiuwu was amazed and took a big sip of wine. He said:

"Even this thing can be bought. It would be great if all the fine wines in the world could be clearly marked with prices, ah~"

...He talks about wine every three sentences.

Chu Wuji couldn't help but admire Senior Jiujiu's steadfast Dao heart. He said:

"I can only say that I was lucky. If I hadn't had a relevant informant to help me, I'm afraid that Xuanyi's mother would have had to fight for it. I'm afraid that it would have been another huge debt of murder."

The informant was naturally the Holy Maiden Hehuan. Xuanyi had mentioned her to him on the way, but it was not convenient to mention her in this situation.

Not to mention the presence of the immortal elders, Yun Qingying would probably clench her fists when she heard the name of the Holy Maiden Hehuan.

[It may seem like luck, but it's actually fate. The Ksitigarbha Sutra needs to appear in the right place. Once the conditions are met, all kinds of situations will become helpful and send this Buddhist scripture here.]

In the reception hall, a majestic and ethereal voice rang out, as if it came from all directions, or as if someone was speaking in a valley, with echoes spreading out layer by layer.

The two immortal elders with profound Taoism could roughly capture the location of the owner of the voice, but no one else except Fu Guanyin could see it.

Chu Wuji said unhappily:

"Please reveal yourself, Cihang Yuanjun. You are playing secret here, which only delays the negotiation time and the finalization of the matter."

Yu Shiqi and the others were also present. Although they didn't say much, they were there to join in the fun. They said:

"Bring the little white tiger over here and see where she's howling."

It has to be said that everyone in Prince Jing'an's Mansion is more disrespectful to Cihang Yuanjun than the other.

Fu Guanyin whispered a few words to the empty seat next to her, then made a gesture of invitation with proper etiquette.

The pure white ethereal figure finally appeared in front of everyone. She stood behind Fu Guanyin, with soft light surrounding her.

With one hand holding the willow branch and the other hand pinching the flower finger, the snow-white arm exposed between the sleeves is delicate and flawless.

Her eyebrows are lowered, her face is beautiful, and her temperament is quiet and serene. At first glance, she looks like a quiet valley, which can make people who come into contact with her feel peaceful and free from distractions.

Even more subtle feelings can send chills down one's spine, just like suddenly seeing a pale and beautiful figure in the dead of night in the wilderness. It is beautiful, but the occasion is not right.

I think it is because she, as the will of the scripture, has a strong obsession with "finding a successor". When her mind is full of energy, her temperament will naturally change.

The two blond and blue-eyed feathered women said:

"During this time, when we were training with Guanyin, we always felt that there was a strange aura around her yard. Finally, we saw her true face."

Aunt Green Snake has already revealed a hint of murderous intent.

She still remembered the first time she knew about the existence of Cihang Yuanjun. It was when everyone was watching Fu Guanyin meditating. This woman took advantage of Fu Guanyin's meditation and made a move. It was very insidious.

Have to be on guard!

"Will this ghostly being draw strength from the Ksitigarbha Sutra and do something reckless again?!"

Crane Immortal said:

"Little Green Snake, don't be so nervous. Little Guanyin can feel whether Cihang Yuanjun's power has recovered most directly. If there is even the slightest abnormality, she will definitely tell us."

Bai Sujin gave her sister a look, asking Qing Snake to calm down first, and then asked:

"Senior Tingqin, you've just read through the Ksitigarbha Sutra. Have you discovered anything?"

Seeing that Yu Shiqi was still curious, Crane Immortal passed the Buddhist scriptures to her and responded to Bai Sujin's concerns:

"No, one could even say that the Ksitigarbha Sutra is very clean, even cleaner than the Taoist techniques taught in many Taoist temples. The thoughts left by the writer dissipated without a trace."

Even if one does not practice magic but only cultivates the mind, after reaching a certain level, if one concentrates on writing an article, the monks can see the "hard work" left in the manuscript, and can even see the joy and sorrow of the author's expression when he picks up the pen.

Jiuwu Taoist agreed and said:

"If it weren't for the incense on it, I would have suspected that it was a rubbing. And even if it was a rubbing, with such a high level of craftsmanship, there would be a mark of one's own wishes and thoughts from studying the Buddhist scriptures on it.

But this Buddhist scripture doesn’t have anything extra, just words.”

Cihang Yuanjun remained silent. She knew that if she spoke too much, these people would become skeptical and refute her.

Fu Guanyin further confirmed:

"Then what do you think, Senior Tingqin? Can Master Chu try to practice it?"

It was difficult for He Xianren to make a definite conclusion. She was not worried about being slapped in the face or anything like that, but she was afraid that her confident words would make Chu Wuji relax his vigilance too much, which would be a hidden danger.

Chu Wuji understood what Hexianren meant and answered on his behalf:

"Senior Tingqin has just answered this question. She has reviewed the scriptures and has not found anything unusual for now. She will definitely protect the Dharma throughout the process, so there is no need to worry too much!

You can’t be timid now~”

The women all knew Chu Wuzhi's temper, and now just by listening to his tone, they knew when he was going to take action.

Highlight a conversation that day and execute it that day.

Chu Wuji's tone and expression just now were consistent with the meaning of "execution on the same day".

Xuan Yi was still unclear. Seeing that the details of the scripture had been discussed almost completely, she asked:

"Then when did you start trying to comprehend this Buddhist scripture?"

Bai Sujin didn't even turn her head to look at her, and said calmly:

"Of course it will be today, but it may be later, not now. Maybe after having dinner and chatting with the women in the mansion, I will start preparing."

Although the White Snake Lady didn't utter a single word of ridicule, her tone clearly concealed another meaning—

You wouldn't even question your son's thoughts and habits, would you? How can you be a mother?

"This is Wu Ji's business. Don't make decisions for him, let alone interfere with his actions!" Xuan Yi frowned and said coldly with disdain.

Aunt Qingshe's expression began to become serious. She was worried that if Xuanyi was slapped in the face, she would want to get angry but it would be inconvenient to show it in such an occasion. What would happen if he took his anger out on her?

This is definitely an unexpected disaster!

The expressions of the women were subtle. They basically agreed with Bai Sujin's words. It was not because they were xenophobic and deliberately did not help Xuan Yi, but simply because they all knew Chu Wuji very well.

Chu Wuji stood up, cleared his throat, and began to lay the groundwork:

"I've been thinking about how much effort Xuan Yi's mother put into finding the Ksitigarbha Sutra. I can't rest here at all and always feel guilty, so I've been preparing for this, and I can say that I've been quite thorough.

Therefore, I do intend to start working on this matter tonight, and I don’t want to waste the time of my seniors.”

Aunt Green Snake secretly gave him a thumbs up.

The desire to survive was so strong that in order to express that "White Snake guessed right", she actually said a lot of good things to Xuan Yi.

Chapter 556 You Are Still You

To be honest, a big part of the reason why Chu Wuji was so anxious was that he was afraid that when his mothers, the White Snake and the Black Snake, were free, they would occasionally glance at him and then become unhappy.

It’s better to be anxious!

"Let's not talk about the Buddhist scriptures for now. We'll have plenty of time to study them in the evening. There's no need to keep talking about it now. How about we just chat about something casually?"

Chu Wuzhi gave Aunt Qingshe a look, indicating that she should start the conversation and change the topic, otherwise they would get back to talking about serious things.

Aunt Green Snake pointed at herself and said with her eyes:

Shall I start a conversation?

Although it was a bit difficult, Aunt Green Snake also knew that if she didn't talk about something good, she would be in trouble again later, and she would definitely be the one to suffer.

Aunt Green Snake pretended to be natural and chatty, and said casually:

"Ahem, um... Sister Xuanyi, did you eat on the way here?"

Chu Wuji held his forehead with his hand. This topic was indeed quite casual, and it would probably become awkward after just a few words.

"Ignore my aunt's nonsense. Mother Xuanyi, what's the latest situation in the Western Regions? Is there any news about the Witch Tomb? There was recently a rumor here that the Chuhai Kingdom was attacked by members of the Witch Tomb."

My aunt was quite dissatisfied with being called "talking nonsense".

You have already thought of what to talk about, and you still want me to take the lead. Are you trying to find fault?

Xuan Yi said, "It's quite ordinary, a stable chaos. The demonic cultivators have become more active, gradually taking control of many small kingdoms and using them as branches, but the Shenshui Sect remains peaceful."

Now, even if the Shenshui Sect took away the Sun and Moon Kingdom, its sphere of influence would still be larger than that of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, but the core altar of the Shenshui Sect would definitely be located in the original location.

Xuanyi mentioned a lot of situations, but none of them were a threat to the Shenshui Sect.

But the future is not certain. At this stage, the demonic forces have not yet come to their door. That is because they work together harmoniously on the surface, but there is some friction because of their respective territories and who wants to occupy which small country.

There was no actual fighting, but the elders were invited to come for talks and consultation. There was tension, but it was much better than before.

The alliance that has been formed into a ball is still strongly attached to its own interests and is really loose.

After the small country was controlled by the evil monks, many swordsmen and warriors with some skills gradually moved to the territory of the Shenshui Sect. Therefore, Bai Kongque could obtain fresh information from these people.

"Bai Kongque said that in the near future, the various Buddhist temples in the Western Region will come into conflict with the Demonic Alliance, as the territories they occupy will overlap. Once this round of turmoil is over, they will probably target the quietly developing Divine Water Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wuji showed his compassion for the people and sighed:

"It's happening too fast. I hope the monks in the Western Regions don't suffer too many casualties. Be sure to leave some for me..."

Yu Shiqi likes to watch the fun, but she is not very interested in the chaos in the Western Regions. She yawned and said with little interest:

"In a place like the Western Regions, there are only a few oasis plains where tribal states can form. The treacherous desert cuts through all the land. Over time, some places will become relatively independent, and the result will be a situation where many states exist.

It becomes too frequent and boring, like dividing up the family property over a few cows and sheep; it's too petty."

Fu Guanyin lowered her head and sighed softly.

In the past, the elders of the Water and Fire Sect tried to build roads to connect various places with convenient transportation, but the wind and sand were merciless. Every year when the windy season came, the strong winds and flying sand could blow away other people's graves.

Auntie Qingshe's impression of Yu Shiqi was that she was just a lazy street urchin, and she said in surprise:

"You still have such insights?"

“Only when you know more can you know where the fun things are~”

Crane Immortal did not participate in this topic. Her attention was more focused on Xuan Yi. Xuan Yi's existence was incredible.

From Chu Wuji, He Xianren learned about Xuan Yi's general deeds. After hearing Chu Wuji describe it so seriously two days ago, He Xianren thought that Xuan Yi's violent and evil nature would be even more serious.

Now it seems that it is not as serious as imagined.

It is probably the White Snake's inner nature that worked. The White Snake has a kind temperament and knows how to restrain itself.

As time went by, even the hatred and resentment were suppressed, and things gradually became as stable as they are now.

"Is there something?" The beautiful woman in black robe noticed the gaze of He Xianren and asked calmly.

"Nothing special, just a little surprise and admiration. You suppressed the anger in your heart very well and didn't let those evil emotions control you."

Crane Hermit chuckled calmly and continued slowly:

"Wu Ji was afraid that after you came here, Xuan Yi, we would mistake you for a lunatic who did all sorts of evil things. So he spoke well of you to us early on, saying that you would not implicate innocent people and that we should not rashly target you."

"I am an innocent person but I am often implicated..." Aunt Qing Snake complained in a low voice, but did not dare to show off too much.

Xuan Yi's beautiful eyes were scarlet, like a bloody glow, yet surprisingly calm. She asked:

"The Immortal has now met me and has talked with me in this hall for a while. What are your thoughts?"

Crane Immortal did not pause for long before replying:

"You are the White Snake of the past. Although you are called Xuan Yi now, it is just a name. The most important thing is...

You are still yourself, without resentment or evil spirits taking over your heart, and that is enough."

The words of the Crane Hermit are a bit mysterious and enigmatic.

Aunt Qingshe was observing Xuanyi's reaction, and so was Chu Wuji, while also thinking about words to warm up the audience.

Xuan Yi's mother's temperament is still rather violent and violent, and she may not treat others with courtesy like Bai Sujin. If she is not satisfied with He Xianren's evaluation and says something cold and unpleasant, Chu Wuji will have to make amends.
