Zhang Tianle breaks his promise to his deceased master to save his younger martial sister suffering from leukemia, deciding to trade his life for hers by leaving seclusion to tell fortunes and earn...
The pointer eventually landed on "the master's specific clues".
Zhang Tianle's eyes lit up.
He wanted to see what kind of clues the dog system would provide.
Just then, a picture appeared in Zhang Tianle's mind.
Then his master appeared at the Qingxia Ancient Temple where his aunt was. After meeting his aunt, he walked westward until he reached a stone mountain. He sat there for a day, and then a hole appeared on the large rock opposite him.
His master crawled into that stone cave.
A faint white light emanated from inside the stone cave entrance.
He reappeared shortly afterward.
However, when he came out this time, he looked much older.
His expression was full of fatigue.
At this point, the lead went cold.
This system seems to have given us clues, but it also seems to have given us nothing at all.
For example, what was his master's purpose in seeking out his master's aunt?
And that rocky mountain.
What exactly did his master do after entering that rocky mountain? How could he seem to have lost decades of his lifespan in just a few hours?
All of this has once again been shrouded in mystery.
It seems he has no choice but to go see his aunt.
"Junior sister, I'm going to Qingxia Mountain." After saying goodbye to Liu Yiyi, Zhang Tianle prepared to push open the door and leave.
Just as he pushed open the door, he saw Master Hui'an pacing back and forth outside the door, hesitating.
When she turned and saw Zhang Tianle, she seemed to have made up her mind: "Kid, come with me, there's something I want to tell you."
Zhang Tianle stepped aside: "Master, let's talk in the study."
"It's hard to explain in the study, come with me."
Instead of coming in, Master Hui'an walked out.
She led Zhang Tianle to the parking lot, to a red Ferrari, opened the door, got in, and looked at him: "What are you standing there for? Get in the car."
Zhang Tianle: "..."
This gave him an extremely strong sense of unease.
A nun in her forties or fifties, dressed in a patchwork robe, drove a Ferrari and had this young and handsome man with her.
This image looks bizarre no matter how you look at it.
"Do you still want to know about your master? If you do, just come with me. Don't dawdle."
Zhang Tianle opened the car door and got in: "Master, driving this car is really not in line with your image as a nun."
Master Hui'an scoffed, "I help others solve their problems, and they reciprocate with kindness. Besides, wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart. I cultivate my mind; what do other people's opinions have to do with me?"
Master Hui'an looked Zhang Tianle up and down as she spoke: "I say, little nephew, I heard you're quite popular on Xianyin Live, and you've told fortunes for many people. Surely no one has repaid you by giving you luxury cars and mansions? If I remember correctly, you're the kind of person who'd risk your life for fortune telling, right? You're using your own life to tell fortunes for others, and you still don't charge a higher price for your services? Your life is too worthless."
Zhang Tianle: "..."
That's really heartbreaking.
"Looks like that's it. Nephew, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you can't be too rigid. You should earn money when you should earn it and spend it when you should spend it. Don't end up helping others and they think you're obligated to help them. You don't owe them anything!"
Zhang Tianle smiled but did not respond to Master Hui'an's words.
Master Hui'an shook her head and drove her Ferrari through the city, heading west. Naturally, they attracted a lot of attention along the way.
The way people looked at Zhang Tianle was varied.
If eyes could speak, the translation would probably be:
People's hearts have changed! A nun is keeping a handsome man and driving a sports car around town!
Master Hui'an led Zhang Tianle to a cemetery, opened the car door, and got out.
After Zhang Tianle got out of the car, she waved to him: "Let's go. There's still a long way to go."
After Zhang Tianle caught up, they walked forward, and Master Hui'an said to him, "I had considered whether to tell you about this. But after thinking about it, I still think I should tell you."
"My senior brother came to me before he died. He asked me to keep a secret for him, a secret that belongs to our sect."
Master Hui'an moved with incredible speed, speaking to Zhang Tianle as she said, "This secret was originally meant to be passed down between you and your fellow disciple, but your lifespan is short, and your junior sister is sickly; she might pass away any day now. So, I'm the only one left to keep this secret, since she knows her fate..."
Master Hui'an sneered at this point and did not continue the topic: "As for the secret that your master asked me to keep, it is on that mountain."
Master Hui'an pointed to a stone mountain and said to Zhang Tianle.
When Zhang Tianle saw the stone mountain, he was stunned for a moment.
Because that stone mountain was the same stone mountain fragment from the video his master had shown in the system.
“Your master said this is a secret that should originally be kept by the head of our lineage. This secret involves an ancient secret.” Master Hui’an paused here, her expression somewhat complicated: “This matter shouldn’t originally be your concern, but I feel you have the right to know. I’m telling you this, and you can decide how to handle it yourself!”
Master Hui'an sighed: "This matter involves the affairs of the gods in that era."
Back then, the Thirty-Three Heavens were breached by gods and demons from other realms, creating a passage connecting to the outer realms. The top gods of China commanded all the gods and Buddhas, using their divine bodies to forge the Great Wall, blocking the entrance to the Chaos Heaven and also preventing that danger from spreading.
What our lineage is to do is to enter the stone mountain once every fifty years to offer sacrifices to these immortals and gods.
I had promised your master I wouldn't tell you this, but..."
Master Hui'an looked at Zhang Tianle: "After you gave me that merit seal that day, I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to tell you. I don't know what you went through after your master left, but it seems that you have had your own extraordinary encounter."
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to stay so lively and energetic after telling so many fortunes for others.
This was also the main reason why she decided to tell Zhang Tianle.
She wouldn't have mentioned this secret to Zhang Tianle if he hadn't accumulated that much merit.
Instead, she would secretly cultivate a successor to the lineage of the Great Dao, and then inform that person of this matter so that he could carry on the tradition.
After all, when his senior brother was choosing a successor, he didn't care much and mainly relied on fate.
The result was that Zhang Tianle died young.
Liu Yiyi: A sickly person.
In the end, there wasn't even one person who could inherit his legacy, so she, a lonely old woman, had to carry it on.
"Oh. Also, this should be given to you as well. I'm no longer with the sect, so it's not appropriate for me to handle such matters." Abbess Hui'an took out a thumb ring from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Tianle.
