Chapter 60 Chapter 60 "So Xie Qi, what did you do...
Stealing jade and stealing hooks, hating purple and taking away red.
It turns out that Xie Qi was the one who took away the Buddha's luck.
In the Ice and Flame Mirror of the Demon Realm, he saw the greatest fear of his life. After returning to the Brahma Temple, he abruptly terminated the transaction with Du Xuandu.
He asked her to leave, not wanting Kong Wen, who was breaking through the barrier on the dangerous building, to hear it.
Kong Wen was so wise that he saw the whole picture in just a few words.
"Blame me, it's all my fault." Master Kongwen, having failed to break through, and now facing this incident, felt completely exhausted. "I hated him for going astray back then, and I was too harsh. I personally pushed that child into the demonic realm. All of this sin is my fault."
When Xie Qi heard Kong Wen's words, it was like a wake-up call, and the last bit of his hope was completely shattered.
That night, the young monk took off his robes, exposing his breasts, just like the unrestrained woman when he first met Du Xuandu.
As he walked out of the confinement room, the young novice monk who was meeting him was so frightened that he fell to the ground, rolled and crawled away screaming.
Xie Qi was possessed by a demon.
He has a single horn on his head, evil and frivolous eyes, and his clothes are not covering his body.
He grew up in the Brahma Temple and was deeply loved by Kongwen. He knew all the important places in the temple very well and stole the relics easily.
The possessed Xie Qi met Du Xuandu in the temple.
Du Xuandu had been released by Kong Wen a long time ago. Xie Qi didn't know why she was still lingering, but it just happened to suit his taste.
He took out the relic and held it in front of Du Xuandu with both hands: "How about this letter of surrender?"
"You want to enter my demon world?"
"No." Xie Qi raised the corner of his mouth, "I want to join the Hehuan Sect."
He approached her and said in a seductive voice, "Serve the Saint."
Du Xuan did not comment: "I was abandoned long ago, and now I am just a lonely ghost."
Xie Qi was tall and slender, looking down at Du Xuandu, but as if looking up: "You are the saint in my heart."
Du Xuandu smiled, as radiant as a spring blossom. His eyes passed over Xie Qi's handsome face and moved behind him: "You heard it all."
Kong Wen walked out from the darkness and stepped forward step by step. Xie Qi kept his back to him and only turned his head slightly.
Kong Wen said, "Disciple, it is never too late to turn back."
Xie Qi laughed, his voice painful: "I didn't have an shore from the beginning, Master, you deceived me all my life."
Du Xuandu said: "He didn't lie to you. Not everyone can understand the secrets of heaven and cause and effect."
Xie Qi looked at Du Xuandu with a gentle gaze: "I have nothing left. I offer my heart to you. Du Xuandu, will you accept me?"
Xie Qi looked at Du Xuandu, but she kept looking at Kong Wen behind him.
Kong Wen looked dejected, his eyes filled with shame and pain. He advised Xie Qi for the last time: "Disciple, put down the relic."
Xie Qi never looked back. He offered the relic to Du Xuandu: "Do you want it?"
*
The night wind blew over my head, and the Bodhi leaves made a rustling sound.
Yao Ning sensed a sense of discord: "If she were a Buddhist disciple... Xie Qi was afraid that Du Xuandu would replace him. After returning from the demon world, why didn't he just kill her?"
Master Kongwen said, "Even if you kill Du Xuandu, the destiny has already been written down, and the secrets of heaven cannot be changed."
But why?
Is he willing?
On the top of the dangerous building, Xie Qi said to Du Xuandu, you can go now, I don’t need you anymore.
The bright pearl turned into a fish eye. He had enjoyed a glorious life for half his life, but it turned out that he was a fake of the Hehuan witch.
When they first met, he was aloof and indifferent, and she was untouchable, while he treated her like a prostitute because she was wanton and bold.
Suddenly, the world turned upside down, everything changed, she became a treasure covered in dust, and he was the thief who stole the Buddha's destiny.
What would Xie Qi think?
Is it really just the intertwined fates that he fears?
Moonlight leaked through the gaps between the branches and leaves. Yao Ning looked up and saw the huge crown of the Bodhi tree, which had gone through the dust of the years and silently cast its shade.
Yao Ning suddenly thought that before Xie Qi became a monk, he came from a wealthy family and had been weak and sickly since childhood.
Weak and sickly.
Haogui's parents agreed to let their youngest son become a monk.
Yao Ning's mind flashed with the image of Xie Qi, tall, strong, and slender, a strong man.
If he wasn't a Buddhist, what would the frail and sickly Xie Qi look like now? Would a wealthy family easily agree to their son becoming a monk?
As if the fog had dissipated, a bold guess emerged in Yao Ning's mind: "Perhaps what he is really afraid of is that after his fate is restored, he will usher in his true destiny."
If you are weak and sickly, you will not live long.
If you are facing death, what does fame, wealth and power matter?
What Xie Qi wants to serve is not the saint, but his own lifespan.
He wanted to fall into the devil's way and lure Du Xuandu with the relic, so that he would sink into depravity with him and become a demon girl of the Hehuan Sect forever instead of a Buddhist son in the human world.
Fate was entangled, and the Buddhist disciple could not take the right position. Xie Qi took over Du Xuandu's fate one day, and he did not have to die young due to frailty and illness.
"Master." Yao Ning said, looking at the bells ringing from the high tower of the dangerous building, "I think I can find Xie Qi."
*
The lights in the temple gradually dimmed, the voices faded away, and footsteps were heard in the dangerous building.
Yao Ning held the candlestick and spiraled up the stairs to the top floor.
She told Kong Wen that she was able to find Xie Qi because she walked all over the Brahma Temple until she finally stepped onto the dangerous building.
The last step disappears, candlelight illuminates the pavilion, and from the wide-open window one can see the overlapping halls and scripture-repository in the temple.
Yao Ning looked around.
unmanned.
Xie Qi is not here.
Yao Ning placed the candlestick in a sheltered place, and then walked slowly around the top floor.
The veil fluttered in the wind, covering a small quiet room on the side. It must have been in the quiet room that Master Kongwen achieved a breakthrough that day and accidentally heard about Xie Qi and Du Xuandu.
Yao Ning thought of Master Kongwen’s illness just now.
It's not just a physical illness, it's more like the spirit is gone.
A disciple who has been trained for half a lifetime is not a true disciple of Buddha, but Xie Qi is actually not bad in qualifications, and at that time Xie Qi had not yet betrayed his master, so everything can still be remedied.
Du Xuandu is a member of the Hehuan Sect in the Demon Realm, and is also a true Buddhist. She has the habits of the Hehuan Sect, but when she pretends to be a Buddhist, one can still glimpse the purity in her nature.
The two men deceived Kongwen, so he became sick from anger.
No, it's not that simple.
Yao Ning had a hunch that Master Kongwen had concealed some details. What he saw on the dangerous building that night was a devastating disaster, a heavy blow to the head.
Master Kongwen loves Xie Qi and treats him like a teacher and a father. Even though Xie Qi does not have the talent of a Buddhist disciple, his own qualifications are extremely outstanding, and his Buddhist heart is firm. Even when facing the charming and seductive Holy Maiden Hehuan, he can remain unmoved.
"So, Xie Qi, what did you do to make your master so angry that he fell ill?"
Yao Ning spoke in the silence, as if talking to himself.
No one answered, only the howling wind swept across the earth.
"You knew he was using you, but you didn't refuse. Du Xuandu—" Yao Ning changed the subject, "You need the relic to please Du Wuzhu?"
It was still quiet, but Yao Ning felt the wind on his face was slightly unstable.
She moved her feet, and suddenly, from the soles of her feet upwards, her white clothes quickly turned red, and after a moment she changed into a new outfit.
Red clothes and gold jewelry were the styles she often wore when she was young.
On the day when Yao Ning was on the fairy boat heading to the Demon Realm, he met a woman in red who introduced herself as "this lady" and said she had a move that could "fulfill all her life's wishes."
I think that is Du Xuandu.
When Du Xuandu met Yao Ning, he said that the person in his portrait was actually you.
Yao Ning, dressed in red, looked like a ghost, walking slowly on the dangerous building. All around him was silent.
If anyone could see the whole picture, they would see a wonderful sight.
As Yao Ning walked, the man and woman opposite him were also retreating step by step. A thin mist like smoke covered the place, like a hazy dream. Yao Ning was not dreaming, but he seemed to be unable to see Du Xuandu and Xie Qi, and was still looking around.
This was like a shallow dream, not enough to bring out the desire in Yao Ning's heart and pull her into the dream, but it obscured her consciousness to a certain extent, making her unable to notice the two people in front of her.
But when Yao Ning's white clothes turned red and gold ornaments were pinned on his hair, Du Xuan, who was originally at ease, suddenly became breathless and his eyes showed hostility and hatred.
Xie Qi held Du Xuandu's hand and stood sideways in front of her.
Yao Ning continued to move slowly on the "empty" top floor.
She sensed a familiar aura.
On the fairy boat, she was pulled into a dream by Du Xuandu. She could feel a slight similarity in the subtle smell and the restless feeling of her consciousness.
She couldn't see it, but she inexplicably felt that Du Xuandu and Xie Qi were hiding here.
"All the immortal gates of Jiuzhou have gathered here. Tonight, you can't fly away even if you have wings. It's not worth it for Xie Qi to cross Xuandu, and it's even less worth it for you to cross Wuzhu."
No one responded.
"The relic is crucial to human peace. If you take it to the demonic realm, Master Kongwen will become an eternal sinner. Even if everyone knows he's not guilty, he won't be able to overcome the obsession in his heart. The master's lifetime of cultivation and the thousand-year reputation of Brahma Temple will all be wasted. Would you be happy then?"
There seemed to be flickering and distorted light in the void. Yao Ning's eyes became stern, and he suddenly rushed out of his body and chopped down with Fu Guang.
The fog dissipated, and Du Xuandu and Xie Qi were separated by a sword. Yao Ning stepped forward in the blink of an eye, took down Du Xuandu with one hand, and with the other hand, he pressed Fu Guang against Xie Qi's eyebrows to stop him from moving forward.
Everything happened in a flash.
"You weren't this strong last time." Du Xuandu put his hands behind his back and tilted his head to look at Yao Ning.
Yao Ning said calmly: "I was injured at that time."
Taking back Fu Guang, Xie Qi stood cautiously where he was.
Yao Ning looked at Xie Qi in the moonlight. He was shirtless and looked unruly. The handsome eyebrows and eyes he had seen on the fairy boat were now tainted with an inexplicable evil intent, and the single horn on his forehead was glowing with a dark black nail-like light.
The devil's breath is entangled.
The former Buddhist disciple was indeed possessed by the devil.
Yao Ning asked him: "You won't save her?"
She twisted Du Xuandu's hands, and the beautiful woman frowned, as if she was forcibly enduring the severe pain.
Xie Qi said, "Let her go."
Yao Ning snorted and unexpectedly changed the subject: "Where were you when Master Ye Kongwen was attacked?"
After Xie Qi left, he quickly brought reinforcements.
"No, Master Kongwen let you go because he knew it was a desperate situation with no chance of survival. He loved his son so much that he wouldn't blame you for being cowardly. He just wanted you to live." Yao Ning said slowly, "So you deceived yourself and really escaped."
Xie Qi gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Yao Ning sneered, "You said Du Xuandu stole your destiny, but do you deserve it?"
Xie Qi stared at Yao Ning intently, then gritted his teeth and smiled: "Fairy Yao Ning, you can laugh at my fate all you want, but fate is determined by heaven. How do you know that you are also in it?"
He looked at the relic in his hand and said, "I was the one who secretly took Du Xuandu aboard Shang Linran's immortal boat. When I first met her, she said she wanted to kill two people, one of whom was you."
"Even if you let her go today—" Xie Qi's eyes wandered over Du Xuandu's face, "I'm sure that one day, she will rush into the flame and die in your hands."
Xie Qi held the relic, and a bright light slowly leaked out from between his fingers, and Yao Ning's whole body suddenly tensed up.
"What are you going to do?"
Xie Qi didn't answer her. His eyes were dark and his emotions were invisible. "Why don't I take you with me to die today?"
