Peach Bell Ding Tian Di Secret
Perhaps she wanted to prove her innocence, but actually she was attracted by the hairpins with strings of pink peaches that were tucked between Xie Jinhui's fingers.
I stopped in my daze, staring blankly at the pink, plump peach bells that were tickling and making a tinkling sound as they bumped against each other.
want to!
Xie Taoshu also stopped, displaying the dignity befitting a tree.
He shook the peach bells like he was teasing a ravine, enticing his peaches.
Furthermore, I suspect he was retaliating.
“Come on, put these on, and I’ll believe you’re innocent,” he said.
I don't want my innocence, I want Tao Ling.
I walked right into a trap! No, that's not right.
The speed at which the peach tree flew down, hanging from a branch, startled Xie Taoshu.
He crossed his peach-bell hairpins and used them to protect his chest.
I pointed eagerly to my head, urging him on.
"Grandpa Peach, hurry, hurry, help me put it on! I'm your long-lost Peach!"
Xie Jinhui's lips curled up, and he said in a rhythmic tone, "Good, good, good."
That voice, like an old tree in autumn.
I lowered my head and wrung my hands, carefully inhaling the fragrant scent of peach blossoms.
The movements in my hair were gentle and soft, and even after Xie Jinhui said that the hairpins were full, I didn't feel any heaviness.
I shook my head, carefully feeling the number of peach bells in my hair, and the clear, ringing sound that rang incessantly.
Having something you love and find interesting makes even the most thorny person's heart soften.
I circled around in front of Xie Jinhui, trying my best to look like a peach. Then, the peach took a deep breath and shook its head.
"Grandpa Peach, look! The branches are full of peaches. We have a bumper harvest!"
Xie Jinhui's lips curved even more, and he raised his hand as if to rub my head, but in the end he just adjusted the peach hairpin.
"Yuan'e, you too will reap abundant rewards."
I looked up and bumped into his hand, then chuckled.
"I will definitely grow lots and lots of hills, just like peaches."
Xie Jinhui's eyes were innocent and pure, full of trust and determination.
He hummed in agreement.
Looking into his eyes, faced with such trust emanating from within, I couldn't help myself.
"Xie Jinhui, you're actually quite funny, but..."
He then produced a peach-shaped hairpin and used a small peach to touch my lips.
“Yuanhe, I’ve said it before, I want to come to you in person, not in the way you think I am clinging to you.”
My heart felt like a stone had been turned over, rolling into some kind of whirlpool.
No, my heart, if you run around recklessly and break apart, what will happen?
I slammed down and tightened my grip on it.
Goodness, Xie Jinhui, you speak so abruptly. Well then, I'll change my mind too.
"Hey, Xie Jinhui, what are you going to do if you can't deliver the goods that Emperor Zhuangli arranged for you to be betrothed to?"
My real intention was to induce him to split.
But he said, "Let the Emperor bring one out from the rumors, anyway he said the child could come from anywhere."
I was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and praised him for his practical application of knowledge.
"I admire your attitude toward the rumors. It's unique, truly unique."
Xie Jinhui shrugged and said casually, "Since the truth cannot be proven, the innocent will prove themselves..."
“Then let the corrupt remain corrupt!” I replied.
Tao Ling pecked me on the forehead, and he finally couldn't help but hit me.
Then he said in a quirky way, "Yes, let the troublemakers do what they want."
Then, his tone became ambiguous, and he whispered in my ear, "Yuanhe, think about it, if that still counted, maybe we really would have..."
Back then! When else could it be when the monster sucked away the grasshopper son!
I get so angry just thinking about it. How dare he bring it up again, and in such a way?
Besides, those two grasshoppers were merely shells formed from immortal power; they were just shells.
However, after a moment's thought, I realized that this unspeakable secret was aimed at both him and me.
Would it work if I used it to threaten him?
Give it a try!
I patted him on the shoulder and whispered something to him.
"Xie Jinhui, if you don't want others to know that we turned into grasshoppers together, you have to tell me something."
Otherwise, I wouldn't keep it a secret for you.
His shoulders trembled with laughter. "Yuan He, threatening me?"
"Don't worry about it, is it working?" I continued to buzz in his ear.
"What do you want to know?" Xie Jinhui asked with great interest.
"The secrets of Moxu Chenyuan." I felt guilty as soon as I finished speaking, and carefully retreated, looking into his deep eyes.
He added, "Is that okay?"
Xie Jinhui shook the peach hairpin, amusing himself. His gaze shifted from the hairpin to mine, landing on something clear and bright.
"Tomorrow," he said.
Tomorrow? Xie Jinhui promised me, but it carries the words "Heavenly Punishment" and the secret of Moxu Chenyuan.
Seeing that I was staring at him with wide eyes in disbelief, Xie Jinhui immediately repeated himself.
"tomorrow."
Just then, my mind received a response from the Holy Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor said, "I will consider it."
In that instant, I forgot what I had said to the Heavenly Emperor.
My mind raced, and I remembered it was about requesting to become the Empress!
The Heavenly Emperor said he would consider it!
And Xie Jinhui just promised me that he would tell me the secret of Moxu Chenyuan tomorrow.
My God, freedom and truth have descended upon us at the same time!
I snatched the peach hairpin from Xie Jinhui's hand. "This is mine too."
Unable to contain my joy as I snatched it, I hopped and skipped back.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, don't forget..."
The peach ornaments on my head jingled, like the shackles of my "deeply rooted love" were about to be loosened.
I was so happy I didn't know what to say.
As luck would have it, I met many fellow immortals on the road after the banquet, and I immediately spotted Qingting holding a compass in her hand.
I, a mad rabbit or a peach, hopped in front of the immortals to greet them.
He was staring at the only young man among the large group of old men.
"Qingting, Qingting, I'm happy."
Then, I leaped onto the cloud and shouted – Somersault Cloud.
This monkey of mine has gotten what I wanted.
I heard Xie Jinhui exchanging pleasantries with the immortals behind me.
I also heard him express his gratitude to Qingting and mention the "Myriad Phenomena and Profound Observations".
However, I found Qingting's answer, "the friendship between colleagues," particularly helpful.
That's right, that's right, Xie Jinhui, look how sensible Qingting is.
Throughout the entire immortal realm, everyone should treat each other with the same camaraderie.
I shook the clouds and listened to the sound of peach bells; their words had all faded away.
Once we reached the airspace above Qingning Pavilion, we were relieved to find it quite quiet below.
However, a sticky, magical tongue suddenly pierced through the clouds and pulled me down.
I shielded Tao Ling, cursing inwardly, "It's over, Master has gone mad again."
Master, are you treating me like a mosquito?
Mosquitoes? At least they pretended to be mosquitoes.
After the Heavenly Mystery Earthly Scroll, I landed steadily in the main hall of Qingning Pavilion, my master's secret chamber.
Just as I was wondering how to sober him up, my master, contrary to his usual drunken state, became serious and used his divine power to protect me as I landed safely.
He kept a straight face, but couldn't hide his joy, and settled me in his shabby, spiritually vibrant room on a spotlessly clean wooden chair.
Looking at my master, who seemed hesitant but was determined to say something to me, I gestured for him to speak.
He was standing, and I was sitting, but I still felt he was drunk; he was swaying unsteadily.
Until he spoke.
"Master knows about your affair with Little Xie Shenjun in the wheat field of the mortal realm."
A wheat field in the human world? Good heavens, ho ho—Mu Zhu records his achievements.
"Master, Xie Jinhui and I..." I stopped mid-sentence, trying to reason with him. It wasn't quite right to say whether I was innocent or not.
When I become depressed, all I can do is struggle feebly.
"Master, with your level of cultivation, can you tell if I'm pregnant?"
After he finished speaking, his master did not waver. He said mysteriously, "It's not impossible that he can't see, after all, he is a child of Moxu Chenyuan."
I frowned: What if Mo Xuchenyuan's child inherited an ability that no one could see...?
That's such a clever way of thinking; even if something doesn't exist, it does.
This is... I just can't think of a solution.
Forget it, I'll just relax completely and chat with my master while we're sprawled out.
Anyway, I'm now in a position of great wealth and power thanks to this fabricated child.
“It’s not that your master doesn’t believe you, nor is it that he wants to question you. It’s just…” The master’s eyes flickered, and his words trailed off.
I don't like hesitant frogs; whether you believe it or not is meaningless. I've started to believe Xie Jinhui's words now.
Perhaps public opinion can be powerful enough to inspire a child.
My master saw that I would rather laugh at the ancient tortoise shell beside me than pay attention to him.
Finally, the master overcame his habit of being hesitant to speak and said righteously, "Yuan'e, because of the rapid development of your relationship with Xiao Xie Shenjun, I will no longer hide the story of Mo Xu Chen Yuan from you."
What?! Master's age has been confirmed as fake; he's really at least 320,000 years old? And he knows the secrets of Moxu Chenyuan?
Looking at my master's appearance, he really doesn't resemble him. Look at the Heavenly Emperor, look at the Emperor...
I think I'll pass.
Let's see if Master is fooling me or if it's the truth.
Master said that the secret of Moxu Chenyuan must be told from 320,000 years ago.
At that time, the Primordial Emperor returned to chaos, and the one originally ordained to succeed him was none other than Moxu Chenyuan…
Master said that it wasn't that he didn't remember Xie Jinhui's father's name, but that this being had already forgotten or put away his own name.
At that time, the immortals in the celestial realm only knew that Moxu Chenyuan had a magical artifact called Xie Chen, and a special immortal with considerable spiritual power—Zu Jun.
I asked my master, "How old is the ancestral master now?"
Master said, "1,010,000 years old."
I exclaimed, "He is much older than the current Holy Emperor!"
This ancestral ruler has already gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao; he only needs to bind all things to the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone on the day of his succession.
But he did not appear, nor did he give any explanation.
Because his temperament is such that he doesn't care about anything, big or small.
What Zu Jun pursued wholeheartedly was "entering nothingness through existence".
I think Zu Jun must have succeeded now, because not only is Mo Xu Chen Yuan invisible and traceless, but even his own son says he can't see his father inside Mo Xu Chen Yuan.
My master corrected me; his son didn't need to see it because Xie Jinhui could directly sense the Ancestral Lord.
As for ordinary immortals, unless the Ancestor Lord contacts them personally, they will probably never be able to sense him.
"Was Xie Jinhui's powerful sensory abilities developed through special training by his father?" I wondered to myself.
I asked my master, "Since the Ancestral Lord is not going to take over, isn't there still the Holy Emperor of Heaven to succeed him?"
Why has the Mystery of the Unknown Beginning become a sealed secret?
The master sighed: "When I was young, I vaguely saw the Holy Emperor Sheng, and I remember his appearance when he was still the Emperor of the Boundless Heaven."
Since he ascended to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, he has been peaceful in nature and his actions have been in complete accordance with the Way of Heaven.
But his former ethereal pride and vibrant vitality have vanished.
Although I don't remember what the Heavenly Emperor looked like before, I know that when the Emperor from beyond the Boundless Heaven ascended to the throne, he must have changed his appearance and sacrificed something very important..."
A sense of unease welled up inside me. I suddenly wondered if I, this little strange stone on Qingmang Mountain, was also rejected by the Heavenly Dao and thus abandoned.
So I anxiously asked my master what he had given up.
The master revealed a sense of bewilderment and loss.
"I don't know, and this is just my own guess. So, Yuan'e, do you know why the Moxu Chenyuan is a secret?"
I shook my head, puzzled.
“Yuanhe, because the Holy Emperor Shengsheng is not the appointed Heavenly Emperor. He was appointed in a time of crisis and willingly left the more carefree Boundless Heaven to come for the sake of all living beings.”
All the immortals knew about this matter.
However, he never explained what he did to gain the approval of Tai Su Wu Nian Shi.
Therefore, if this matter had been made public back then, it would have attracted endless suspicion and made Zu Jun's behavior subject to much criticism.
For 320,000 years, the Holy Emperor has led the Immortal Realm without war, conflict, or any bias or error.
I have the utmost respect for him.
However, it is hard to predict how the immortals would comment on or how they would tell the story if the events of that year were mentioned today.
The Heavenly Emperor does not reveal what he did back then, and the Ancestor King does not want to bear the infamy, so this secret is not easy to uncover.
Seeing my master's unusual seriousness, I felt as if I was directly moved by the Heavenly Emperor, even though I didn't know if my master's guess was right or wrong.
But the Holy Emperor treated me extremely well; he was indeed so good that all the gods and immortals revered him.
Such a truth that even the Heavenly Emperor is unwilling to reveal is probably beyond compare to the deepest heartache.
“Master, Xie Jinhui promised me today that he would tell me the secret of Moxu Chenyuan tomorrow.”
Did you beat them to it, or did you two conspire together? This is too much of a coincidence.
The master's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and he smiled and said.
“Yuan’e, Lord Xie has made up his mind about you, and the secret of Mo Xu Chen Yuan may no longer be a secret.”
