Chapter 58: Water Fairy (5)
The embroiderer's face darkened. She put down the melon seeds in her hand and looked at Li Yuanying dimly. "Do you know what I hate most in my life? People like you who talk about benevolence and righteousness and are hypocritical."
"Even if I'm full of righteousness and morality, and my Li family has accumulated immeasurable merit through good deeds, what about you? Xiu Niang, think about your current state. Do you want to remain a monster, neither human, nor demon, nor god, forever?"
When the embroiderer heard this, her eyes dimmed. "It's come to this. There's no point in saying more."
"Do you know Fairy Shengle?"
The embroiderer's pupils shrank: "Do you know her?"
"I have resolved her emotional issues, and the demonic energy has been completely purified. Do you want to take that step? Perhaps there is still a chance for salvation?"
The embroiderer looked at Fifteen and sighed, "Let me think about it."
Li Yuanying no longer disturbed the embroiderer. She lay back on the bed, ready to have a good rest, because tonight would definitely be a tough battle.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Li Yuanying couldn't help but recall the conversation she had with Mr. Zhang, Zhang Qingchen's father.
Mr. Zhang was already dying at that time. He called Li Yuanying to his bedside to make final arrangements.
"Wanwan, Master's time is up, and I want to entrust something to you." The old man's face was pale, and his hair had turned snow-white from using forbidden techniques.
"Master, Wanwan will never let you down." Li Yuanying held back her tears and knelt in front of Master Zhang's bed.
"Humans and demons have been at odds for a century... ultimately, it's because the three realms have lost balance... Mount Buzhou was originally a chain connecting the heavens. For centuries, the human and demon realms, blessed by the heavens, had lived in peace. Since ancient times, the gods have fallen, and the five gods who presided over the human world have become demons, causing the chain connecting the heavens to collapse and transform into Mount Buzhou. As a result, the demons have harmed the human world, causing years of war and chaos, and the people are living in misery."
Mr. Zhang said so much in one breath. He seemed to have exhausted all his life energy. He began to cough violently and spit out blood.
Li Yuanying was so frightened that she quickly helped Zhang Lao up, tears streaming down her face: "Master, Master, please hold on."
"Wanwan, Qingchen is too weak to handle this heavy responsibility. You must remember Master's words. Restore the Five Gods, reforge the Heavenly Chain, and you can restore the order of the world..."
"Okay, Wanwan, I'll remember that. But where is Wanwan going to find these five gods, and how do we recast them?"
"The restoration of the Five Gods depends on God's will. Even if you search everywhere for something, you will find it when you meet it. And to recast the Heavenly Chain requires..." Old Zhang held Li Yuanying's hand tightly and handed a secret book to Li Yuanying.
After Li Yuanying read the secret book, she understood why Mr. Zhang said that Zhang Qingchen was not suitable.
"Wanwan... Your teacher is so sorry..."
"Master, don't worry. I am already dying, so I have nothing to worry about. Please rest assured, Master. I will definitely complete my mission."
After saying this, Mr. Zhang passed away.
Years have passed since they parted, and Li Yuanying has not been able to find an opportunity to restore the Five Gods. When she thought she had no chance to complete the mission assigned by her master, she met Fairy Shengle.
When she first arrived in Shengle Township and saw the Shengle Fairy, she realized that the gears of fate had begun to turn.
Later, she met the fairy Miaoling who had no one to worship.
Now, she encounters a god who has fallen into the form of a demon.
Already the third god.
A betrayed god, an ignored god, a wronged god.
She only needs two more gods, and then she might be able to fully restore the five fallen gods that her master mentioned.
In the end, she only needs to do what is said in the secret book to recast the Heavenly Chain and restore order in the Three Realms.
She endured the pain for fifteen years, dragging her crippled body to live, just for that day.
Now, that day is about to come.
So, Qilang, there is a way to avoid the two tribes fighting each other. Don't worry or be sad.
As Li Yuanying was thinking, she fell into a dream.
The sun was shining, the spring flowers were pretty, and in her dream Li Yuanying found herself in a fertile field.
A man in exquisite satin clothes is working in the fields with his sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, which looks very incongruous.
Li Yuanying found it funny. She saw the man looking up at her with a bright smile on his face.
"Ma'am, you're awake."
A familiar voice came, it was Qilang.
He put down what he was holding and trotted towards Li Yuanying: "Madam, look how capable I am. I have finished all the work."
There were a few guys standing by the field, smiling awkwardly at the sweet couple.
"I think Qilang, you are here to cause trouble?" Li Yuanying said with a smile.
"Qilang? Who is Qilang?" The man frowned. "Where did Madam meet this stranger?"
Li Yuanying was stunned: "If I don't call you Qilang, what should I call you?"
"Didn't you always call me Wanwan?"
"What evening?"
Qilang looked unhappy: "You don't even know your husband's name?"
The man walked over to Li Yuanying, hugged her in his arms, and whispered softly in her ear: "Husband Pei Wan, have you forgotten?"
Pei Wan.
This name rushed into Li Yuanying's ears and turned into a warm current that nourished her whole body.
In an instant, time and space twisted, and she felt the man put her on the bed and looked at her from above. He let his hair down, untied his belt, and his face was full of spring, which was fascinating.
"Wanwan, I love you."
The words of love warmed the tent, leaving one nostalgic. The gentle kisses fell drop by drop on every inch of Li Yuanying's skin. Her lover's touch warmed her heart, and this warmth spread out like a stream merging into a river, merging and interweaving. The spreading waves swept over her body, and as the waves rose and fell, her spirit also rose and fell like a madness.
She had never indulged herself so much, nor had she ever felt so refreshed. It seemed as if all the restraints and pains had disappeared. She enjoyed herself to the fullest and sunk into joy with her lover.
When Li Yuanying woke up, it was already dark. It was the embroiderer who woke her up.
"It's getting late, she will be here soon," said the embroiderer.
"Embroiderer, time is running out. Have you made up your mind?" Li Yuanying asked.
"I woke you up because I wanted to tell you this. Ling Yao was originally the Fairy Samantabhadra, in charge of wisdom... But, because she was too clever, she was envied, and so she was framed and had stolen a sacred object from the Heavenly Palace." The embroiderer hesitated. "You have to understand, she's a fairy of her generation. No one would dare to frame her unless it was the will of the highest authority."
"So, that's why you said her situation was complicated?"
The embroiderer nodded. "Although it wasn't the Emperor's original intention, it was a powerful collective force that caused the Fairy Puxian to suffer injustice. It's not something a fairy like me, who has fallen into the status of a nameless Buddha, can do."
"What is the lost relic?"
"Polar Cold Lotus."
Li Yuanying was stunned. All these things seemed to be connected.
"The Arctic Frost Lotus was a magical weapon used by the Heavenly Court to suppress demons. It was enshrined atop the Yuanming Pagoda. However, one day, a flash of golden light passed, and the Arctic Frost Lotus disappeared. With demons rampant in the Nine Provinces, the Heavenly Court had no choice but to mobilize the Five Gods to suppress them."
"Finally, they found out that it was Immortal Puxian who stole it?"
"Yes, the golden light left a mark on the top of the tower. It is the mark of the Lotus Divine Seal. This divine seal can only be made by the Immortal Samantabhadra. It can be said to be irrefutable evidence."
"What motive did the Immortal Puxian have in stealing this sacred object?"
The embroiderer shook her head. "I'm just an unknown person, managing marriages in the human world. I'm not a respectable deity, so I don't know much about the affairs of the heavenly court. That's all I can say. It's just that after the Fairy Puxian was punished, snow fell in June, and tears of blood turned into pearls. Everyone began to suspect that the Fairy Puxian was wronged, but it was to no avail."
"Why?"
"Because no one wants to cause trouble, the matter has been concluded, and everyone can live a comfortable life. No one will stand up for her."
"The Polar Cold Lotus was finally discovered in Flame Mountain. What does this have to do with you?"
The embroiderer glanced at Li Yuanying, her eyes becoming strange. "I've been in Yanshan for over a hundred years, and there have never been any polar cold lotuses there. They've only started to grow there inexplicably in the last fifteen years, and they're being protected by ghosts. Don't you find it strange?"
"It's as if this polar cold lotus grew only because of your birth, as if..." The embroiderer leaned close to Li Yuanying's ear, "as if it appeared just to wait for you."
Li Yuanying thought of the secret that Master Zhang had given her. As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, and perhaps she was the most important link.
"She's here." The embroiderer said softly.
Sure enough, Li Yuanying heard the familiar singing again.
“
It was dark,
Close the door tightly,
See who's awake.
Don't breathe loudly.
Don't open your eyes.
Don't whisper.
I know where you are.
Don't tear the body apart.
Don't tear the shadow apart,
Don't try to escape.
I will definitely find you.
”
Ling Yao's game of hide-and-seek has begun again.
"It's the Fuxi tribe." The embroiderer grabbed Li Yuanying's hand and said, "I suspect someone from the Fuxi tribe framed her. Because..."
Before the embroiderer finished speaking, Li Yuanying began to feel subtle changes in the space. The embroiderer stopped talking and seemed to be frozen in time, unable to move.
Sure enough, Ling Yao used magic to separate all of them into different spaces.
Fuxi clan.
Li Yuanying kept thinking about the three words the embroiderer said.
Because only the Fuxi clan can benefit from this matter.
Fuxi clan.
Here it comes.
Li Yuanying looked at the closed door.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Someone is knocking on the door.
"Open the door, open the door."
A woman's voice called softly from outside.
The voice made Li Yuanying shudder.
This time, she felt that the thing outside the door was different from the previous two nights, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
Li Yuanying suddenly felt someone unlocking the door. With a click, the bolt was moved away.
squeak.
The door was opened.
On the first night, the thing entered the room but was scared away by Qilang.
On the second night, because Li Yuanying changed the number under the bed, this thing could not enter the room.
On the third night, which was today, she came.
