Because she was possessed by the Lotus of Love, when Master Wuxiang cast a spell to remove the lotus, Yan Baibai's eyes were disturbed by golden light. When she was able to see again, she saw the moonlight in the lotus pond.
Yan Baibai glanced around, realizing her vision had widened. It was then that she realized the Lotus of Love was a pure, milky white, still about to bloom. Unlike before, it was now shrouded in a faint, blue-green mist. This was because the Lotus of Love's spiritual power was so dense and pure that it was dissipating in this way.
A fire point slowly passed by in front of my eyes and then disappeared into the lotus leaves. A breeze blew by, and tiny points of fire scattered from the green lotus. I looked closely and found that the fire point was the faint light emitted by the tail of the firefly.
Following the light of the fireflies, Yan Baibai realized that Jueqing Buddhist was no longer on the bank of the lotus pond. Only Master Wuxiang was left meditating there. He sat cross-legged, his hands clasped together and floating in front of his chest. Floating above his palms was the palm-sized Lotus of Love.
The sound of light footsteps came from far away and got closer. Yan Baibai looked towards the source of the footsteps. As soon as she saw a corner of the flowing skirt, she knew who was coming.
I saw a woman walking slowly towards me holding a lotus lantern. The night wind messed up her hair and blew her dress askew. She came to the lotus pond and stopped, bending her knees forward.
A brisk voice broke the tranquility of the lotus pond: "Master Wuxiang, here is the teapot you requested."
The woman was naturally Tu Shanqing. She placed the lantern in her left hand, and gently turned her right hand over. In her palm, there appeared a purple clay teapot that was slightly larger than the one in her hand. White smoke was emanating from the mouth of the teapot. Just by looking at it, one could almost smell the lingering fragrance of tea.
"Hahaha, thank you, Donor Tushan." Master Wuxiang took the teapot with a smile. He took a small sip from the air before looking at Tushan Qing again and asked with a smile, "Donor Tushan, you look very happy. What good thing happened?"
"Master, when I went to Dongshan Hall to get the teapot for you, I received news that Jueqing would escort me back to the demon world. Is this true?"
Although she was asking a question, Tu Shanqing's face was already filled with endless smiles, and she even stood on tiptoe in excitement, but it was still obvious that she wanted to get a more definite answer from Master Wuxiang.
"It's true. I didn't expect the donor to know about this."
"That's great!" After getting a positive answer, Tu Shanqing's smile became even bigger, and she finally couldn't help jumping up and down.
Tu Shanqing was happy for a while, then her eyes fell on Du Qinglian and she asked curiously, "Is this Du Qinglian?"
"Yes." Master Wuxiang handed the Lotus of Love to Tu Shanqing and said, "Benefactor, please take a look."
"Me?" Tu Shanqing was a little bit incredulous, but still stretched out her hand: "Can I really touch this kind of magic weapon at will?"
Wu Xiang Master smiled and placed the Lotus of Love in Tu Shan Qing's hand. When the Lotus of Love was in Wu Xiang Master's hand, it was floating in his hand without any contact with him, but when it fell into Tu Shan Qing's hand, she caught it firmly.
"So warm!" This was Tu Shanqing's first reaction upon touching the Lotus of Love. She placed the Lotus of Lovelessness on her left palm, extended her index finger and gently touched its white petals. Then she leaned in and sniffed, exclaiming in amazement, "It's soft and fragrant. It feels like a real lotus, not a dead object. It really is a rare magical treasure in the world. It's truly magical."
Tu Shaqing focused all his attention on Du Qinglian, but Yan Baibai noticed the surprise in Master Wuxiang's eyes.
Seeing this, before Yan Baibai had time to think about it, Master Wuxiang spoke.
"Donor, do you know that although this Lotus of Love is a magical treasure, very few people in this world can touch it?"
"Ah, why?" Obviously, this was the first time Tu Shanqing heard this.
"In this world, those who can touch the Lotus of Love are either good or evil." Master Wuxiang looked up at the bright moon in the sky before continuing, "In my lifetime, I have only seen you and Jueqing who can directly touch this Lotus of Love."
"Master, are you saying that Jueqing and I are both kind-hearted people?" Tu Shanqing asked with a smile.
"No." Unexpectedly, Master Wuxiang denied it, "He is so heartless... that he is evil!"
Tu Shanqing's smile froze immediately. She looked at Master Wuxiang, trying to figure out if he was joking. After getting the answer, she slowly opened her eyes wide, "How could someone like Jueqing be such an evildoer? Are you... mistaken?"
"How could I be wrong... Jueqing was abandoned at the gate of my temple. It was a snowy winter day. It was really a miracle that he was still alive when he was found." Master Wuxiang's tone was a little melancholy. He seemed to want to tell Tu Shanqing about Jueqing's past, but after looking at the dark sky, he decided to talk about the important things.
He looked at Tu Shanqing with an extremely serious expression and continued, "When Jueqing was building his foundation, ninety-nine and eighty-one punishment thunders fell from the sky, intending to destroy him. If it weren't for the abbot and the eighteen golden-bodied arhats setting up the formation and sacrificing the Lotus of Love as the center of the formation, Jueqing would have been reduced to ashes."
"Our temple has a method that can reveal the secrets of heaven. However, the price of this method is too high, and the secrets of heaven are not that easy to uncover. But after Jueqing got into this trouble, the abbot discussed it with the elders of the temple for a long time and finally used this method on Jueqing."
As he spoke, Master Wuxiang sighed deeply, and Tu Shanqing beside him even breathed softly, for fear of disturbing Master Wuxiang's narration.
"The abbot and several elders, at the cost of their lifetimes of no progress in their cultivation, finally glimpsed a glimpse of Jueqing's future. In the future, Jueqing will bring about a catastrophe that will destroy the world. This is the greatest evil in the world."
"But Jueqing was born with the bones of a Buddha, a rarity seen only once in a thousand years. He naturally resonates with Buddhist principles, and his destiny carries the responsibility of saving the world."
