The four characters of the forbidden incantation: Mo Xu Chen Yuan
Moxu Chenyuan?
In which book of immortal history have I ever seen this?
I have a vague impression, but only four words float in my memory.
Why are there so many four-character phrases today that suggest "each harbors its own ulterior motives"?
I'll have to investigate this properly once this is all over.
Huh? This isn't over yet, am I going to be the one who's finished...?
That's really strange!
I, along with the three old men, looked up in awe at the golden characters of the heavenly book imprinted on the sky.
Seeing one's name being advertised like a price tag...
Am I... stunned?
No, I, the goddess Yuan'e, cannot lose to that scoundrel next to me.
Xie Jinhui stood with his hands on his hips, a crooked smile on his face, gazing at the sky with an air of utter dejection, as if saying, "I can't do anything about you."
In an instant, he muttered "Never mind, never mind," and then turned his gaze to me, gesturing silently to his chest with his left hand.
"I will marry you."
Oh my god, my mom is like a mountain, she'll crush him to death!
Mu Heng, the Divine Lord, snapped out of his daze, clapped his hands, and pointed his thumb at the Fairy of Marriage, praising, "Wonderful! I didn't expect that in just a few days, your magical power has increased so much that you can carry the Winding Lotus with you."
Lotus along the winding path! I know what that is.
He could shrink the winding lotus, which was half the size of the Heavenly Emperor's Purple Palace, to a tiny size and bring it out.
The Marriage Immortal's strength is terrifying; even his stubble is thicker than my master's.
Oh, Yuan'e, the situation is getting worse.
The old man, the matchmaker, had wrinkles all over his face, showing humility and modesty. He blushed slightly, and when he saw me glaring at him, he was so frightened that he threw the little trumpet back into his storage bag.
"Hehe, you flatter me, you flatter me. My magical power is meager, how could I possibly bring out my true form?"
"That was merely a winding path through the lotus blossoms, an ingenious trick of mine, relying on the mutual resonance of immortal power to achieve a semblance of harmony."
I appreciate your honesty, but your eyes and mouth are a bit too much!
Xie Jinhui, that rascal, is waving his big sleeves and drifting towards me again, isn't he?
I desperately need a spearhead.
Hehe, it's you, matchmaker! Take this!
Suddenly, Lord Muheng bowed his head and groaned in pain.
Of course, I took advantage of his inattention to grab his beard, and then used my divine power to pull in the matchmaker, who then tightened one end of the red rope binding his beard and tied it to Lord Muheng's beard.
"Anyone can arrange a marriage randomly, so this goddess will act as your matchmaker."
The bearded men are definitely not happy, and neither am I. Who cares about me anyway?
As the three of us were struggling, we heard Xie Jinhui behind us say eagerly, "Yuanhe, let me help you."
I snapped my head around; I should have been especially fierce.
"You stay right there and don't move."
Xie Jinhui's face was pale.
"Oh, okay."
I knew there was another person who wouldn't just stand by and do nothing, so as soon as Master's "Don't Mess Around" started, I was ready to bring him in as well.
Compared to the old men's scheming and bizarre tastes of matchmaking, what is my antics?
Using my divine power to control the matchmaker, I tied Mu Heng to my left hand and my master to my right.
I chuckled loudly.
"Count me in, Master. Let me bring this love triangle to fruition."
Spun and spun, entangled and entangled, let me show you just how complicated it can be to be caught in the whirlpool of emotions.
Lord Muheng was sweating profusely again—no, those were tears of love in the howling whirlwind.
"Fate Fairy, your Mirror of Fate is fake, isn't it? What do you mean by 'deeply in love'? This girl's condition is clearly not right."
The master got tired of blowing his beard and sighed.
"My daughter, Yuan'e, is a stone."
"You mean she's not emotionally aware and can't feel anything?"
"Judging from the current situation..." The master looked down at the marriage knot on his beard and said sincerely, "They probably haven't opened any doors yet."
"No, Master, I've figured it out. I hold grudges. Let's continue."
My words clearly didn't incite any trouble, but for some reason, the two deities' eyes sharpened, and they both turned on the Matchmaker Immortal.
The matchmaker looked around, then at me, and suddenly shouted, "I've seen the light!"
"I've been negligent, I've been negligent. The last acupoint in my heart meridian has finally been opened," said the Matchmaker Immortal.
His trembling hand rose and fell again as he looked at me sincerely.
“Goddess Yuan’e, I am blind and ignorant. Although it is true that you are deeply in love, your karmic connection with Lord Xie is actually not that deep.”
You two only have one lifetime of love.
"Goddess Yuan'e, just make do for this lifetime, and your love will be over."
After all that fuss, the key point is still just four words.
"A lifetime of fading away"
I have learned important news.
The three old men were no longer useful, so I tossed them aside and called on another one.
"Xie Jinhui, come here."
The red thread binding the old men's beards came undone instantly.
I understand that they simply couldn't bear to hit me.
“Yuan’e, just think positively.”
"Come, come, Little Xie, come here quickly." Mu Heng regained his usual cheerful and enthusiastic manner and started pulling again.
Xie Jinhui, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought and dared not come over.
Of course, bait is needed to catch prey, and I already have an idea in mind.
With a loving look in my eyes, I smiled and said to him, "Come with me, and I'll marry you."
The three immortals were so excited they almost applauded together.
Xie Jinhui remained motionless, lowering his eyes and then raising them again.
"Where to?" he asked.
I glanced at Mu Heng's location and replied frankly.
"Reincarnation Platform, Rebirth, Severance of Karmic Ties."
“Yuan E”
I just want to marry you; I don't want to be reborn.
Xie Jinhui raised her hand to loosen the soil around her temples, her sweet and delicate voice turning into a serious expression.
"I don't want a marriage certificate from someone else, but I want to walk towards you myself."
He'll come to me personally? I chuckle.
"Then come here." I beckoned to him.
“No!” he refused firmly, then added, “It’s not…”
He might say it's not the same thing?
Stop wasting time. A moment of bliss is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I'll kidnap you and take you to get married right now.
bring it on!
Fast! Ruthless! Decisive!
"Binding Immortal Cloud Lock!" I shouted, and after binding Xie Jinhui, I grabbed the end of the rope and ran.
"Hey, mine, mine!" Lord Muheng chased after me.
I packed up Xie Jinhui, who was filled with sorrow, and took him with me to the edge of the Immortal Shield.
"Master, open the door," I commanded.
My master stopped Lord Muheng and opened a path to heaven for me.
I heard him say from behind, "Go early and come back early. Your teacher will be back at Qingning Pavilion waiting for you to come home."
...
That's how my encounter with Xie Jinhui at the Reincarnation Platform came about...
Then, what happened after returning to Qingning Pavilion.
Ha! They're all liars.
The Reincarnation Platform asked me for the cancellation document. When I returned to Qingning Pavilion, I saw three old men gathered together.
Before I could even ask the matchmaker to sever my emotional ties, his words, as cold as ice for millions of years, completely "calmed" me down.
"What did you say? A love that lasts a lifetime is a lie?"
"That was in several lifetimes, Immortal of Marriage, please explain clearly. At worst, I'll just invite more fellow immortals."
I was terrified.
At first, I was full of hope, naively thinking that having a few more lifetimes would just mean having a few more people.
"Goddess Yuan'e," the Matchmaker said, sitting in a sandalwood chair, his eyes sincere, "I swear to the ancient gods, the love between you and Lord Xie runs deep."
No solution, no solution!
Is there no solution?
Then let's use nothingness as the solution.
It felt like a knife was being stabbed into my heart! I couldn't even whimper.
With tears welling up in my eyes, I listened to the matchmaker explain the reason and clever argument behind his deliberate mention of "a lifetime of love."
What was it to temporarily soothe my emotions and to save my beard?
In addition, it created opportunities for Xie Jinhui and me to spend time alone, and was an expedient measure that was beneficial to everyone, including Deng Deng.
I counted on my fingers how many silly eagles he killed with a single arrow.
Looking around, I found that the hall was full of...
When the word "unsolvable" was uttered, all three old men, including Xie Jinhui, nodded in agreement.
I dejectedly saw Xie Jinhui and me out of Qingning Pavilion.
There was no hope left. What crushed me wasn't the matchmaker's prediction, but what happened when I asked my master...
“At first, I just shook his hand.” I tried to express my innocence and lack of intention.
But Master said earnestly:
“Yuan’e, do you know that Little Xie Shenjun was that left hand back then? You held his entire being in your hands.”
All of it? He only had one hand back then!
Next, will they force me to take responsibility? If he fails to transform into an immortal, will I still have to marry that left hand?
Seeing Xie Jinhui's gaze towards me, which was not simply one of gratitude,
He wielded his newly tamed pet spirit snake, "Binding Immortal Cloud Lock," which coiled around me, posing a serious threat to my mind.
I solemnly pleaded with the three immortals to allow each of them to protect me for one day.
Do not let Xie Jinhui get close to me for the next three days.
I need to think about it carefully.
The immortals agreed, but Xie Jinhui then put forward conditions.
Let me personally see him out.
Well, if you can agree, I'll deliver it.
They were taken to the outside of Qingning Pavilion.
"Xie Jinhui, I have fulfilled your conditions. You should leave now. Just remember, don't show up for the next three days."
He gave me repeated orders, which at least made me feel a little more at ease, just a little bit.
Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, he closed his eyes and leisurely inhaled the fragrance of flowers wafting from the mountain garden.
"Today's events are not over yet; you owe me something."
However, I will definitely return to my parents' home in three days.
He vanished like golden dust at sunset, his misty voice echoing around the Thirty-Three Realms.
I gained a moment of peace, then ran back to my room like a madman, startling the plants and trees in the mountain garden.
Unfortunately, I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, with one thing on my mind.
Where is Moxu Chenyuan?
The next day, I searched the entire Qingning Pavilion and found that not only was my master gone, but several books in his study were also missing.
Ha! He's deliberately avoiding me.
I quickly went out to look for clues.
Whether you encounter a fellow immortal, an official immortal, a maid immortal, or an envoy immortal, ask them questions as soon as you open your mouth.
Do you know about the Moxu Chenyuan?
Today, my fellow immortals all looked exceptionally well. Their faces flushed red when I asked them anything, and they all giggled shyly with longing in their eyes.
"I don't know, I don't know," they said. "Besides, given the relationship between Goddess Yuan'e and Lord Xie, you don't need to ask us at all."
Hehehehe..."
What's wrong with the celestial realm? All the immortals are living in fairy tales and have been assimilated.
Since we can't rely on anyone, why not try the Immortal Library – Shuiyiju?
I took action as soon as I thought of it.
The celestial realm is centered on the Heavenly Emperor's Purple Extreme Palace, with various celestial continents and islands surrounding it like stars orbiting the moon in all directions.
It not only divides the space into east, south, west, and north, but also uses the Purple Pole as the base to divide it into seven layers, totaling fourteen layers of spatial orientation.
In the celestial realm, the elegant layer is called "string".
The master's residence, the Qingning Pavilion of the Three Strings in the west, is quite a distance from the Seven Strings Water Residence in the southeast. Even riding on clouds, it would take quite a while to get there.
Looking down from the clouds, the water is like ink, the peaks like brushes, and the pavilion is nineteen stories high.
Outside the Water Pavilion, in front of the connecting corridor and immortal steps that are about a hundred feet long, today is different from the past, with immortal friends lining up in a queue that is more than three times longer.
I'm ashamed to say, fellow cultivators, have you been working this hard lately?
Everyone's here to read?
As I got closer, I heard a series of sounds rising and falling:
"Don't cut in line, I'm in front..."
Dissonant sounds, etc.
Too many people, should we just put on a show of good manners and queue up?
The first day of the three-day agreement has already taken up half a day.
I can't wait.
We have to go through the back door, that's the right answer!
So I sent a message to Qingting, the manager of Shuiyiju.
He replied to me immediately, shouting in his deafeningly loud voice into the ears of all the fellow immortals.
"Goddess Yuan'e, come quickly! Your reserved seat number one from the other day has been prepared with tea."
The immortal friends group immediately erupted in chaos.
"The goddess Yuan'e is here! She's really here! Oh my god..."
I flew into the pavilion with my tail between my legs.
Because the fellow cultivators queuing below looked very angry, I was worried about a mutiny.
A woman in a light blue dress with flowing sleeves greeted me at the door.
He remained as dignified, elegant, calm, and composed as ever.
Except for that one time ten thousand years ago when he said he liked me.
At that time, of course I didn't agree, I didn't agree with anyone.
Therefore, he has now cultivated the path of ruthlessness, making it particularly safe to be around him.
I got straight to the point and told him that I wanted to find historical materials about Moxu Chenyuan and wanted to know everything about it.
Suddenly, the long queue seemed to stretch out its thousand legs like a centipede, echoing, "We also want to know, the way..."
It startled me. Turns out they were thinking the same thing as me. Should I pretend to queue for a while?
The eagerness of my fellow cultivators was evident in their eyes, while I stood there dumbfounded, feeling guilty.
At this moment, a fellow immortal flew swiftly down from the twelfth floor of the Book Pavilion above the Water Pavilion.
He handed me a book with profound magical power, clearly an old artifact.
He even kindly turned the page for me with a simple tap of his finger.
"Goddess Yuan'e, look, I've finished reading."
After this fellow cultivator finished speaking, he left, and I picked it up and began to read.
Millions of fellow immortals stretched their necks out in response.
The booklet does indeed have four characters written on it, "莫须尘渊" (Mo Xu Chen Yuan), but what follows is:
The Heavenly Emperor decrees that no one other than a celestial being of 320,000 years or more may open this gate.
Those who disobey... will be punished by Heaven!
I heard gasps and sighs of despair.
320,000 years of immortality?
I silently stretched out my finger.
Although my master found me 170,000 years ago, my true immortal age can be counted on one hand.
“320,000 years ago, wasn’t that…” a voice suddenly popped out from the long line.
I pricked up my ears.
The faint voice was quickly swallowed up by the chorus of voices.
The cultivator who was about to leave after finishing reading was stopped by someone: "Hey, fellow cultivator, you've been reading for an hour now, haven't you? It takes you so long to read just four words. Why are you wasting everyone's time?"
All the immortals looked at him.
The immortal friend laughed heartily.
"The immortals in front of me have been watching for even longer than I have, and there are those even further ahead."
Which one of you would be willing to tell you that there are only four words to read?
As the saying goes, even if you're frustrated yourself, you have to share the joy with everyone else; after all, we're just too curious.
He continued laughing and walked away nonchalantly.
The long dragon froze, and then it broke just as suddenly.
Fellow immortals have ascended to the clouds, acquiring magical artifacts and mounts...
Drifting and swaying, gradually fading into the distance.
Qingting pulled me back, "Goddess Yuan'e, let's talk inside."
