Chapter 243: Master Imperial Master, You Have Me in Your Heart (Two in One)
Most of the heroes and demons in the world always appear in groups at an appropriate time, and are then pushed to the stage of destiny by the tide of the times, each showing their magical powers.
One thousand three hundred years ago, the Qingman pushed the front line to the south of the Yangtze River and almost destroyed the Central Plains dynasty. Afterwards, many powerful practitioners who were familiar to later generations emerged.
Going against the trend, they established a whole new order that continues to this day.
Five hundred years ago, Prajna Lianyue personally killed Garuda, and at about the same time, a little Taoist nun, who was still unknown, walked out of the mountains and forests, and looked at the prosperous world below the mountain with curiosity with a pair of clear and cold eyes.
However, she soon witnessed the true face of the world.
Practitioners fight each other, mortals struggle to survive, ambitions and desires, and corpses are scattered all over the ground under the lofty immortal gate. They are all just insignificant footnotes to the prosperous times.
This "prosperous and peaceful age" that everyone praises seems to have never been "peaceful".
Xu Fu began to think about where the destiny he was pursuing was.
The disciples of Tianming Dao are best at the art of cause and effect, but their own destiny is not so easy to calculate.
Some people's destiny is very specific and they just need to do it.
For some people, destiny is very abstract, just a vague and hazy concept. How to pursue it and how to achieve it ultimately depends on personal understanding.
Xu Fu's destiny belongs to the latter.
At first, she thought that "peace" was in the hands of the immortals. The mortals in this world were weak and miserable, but the practitioners could move mountains and fill the sea, and were omnipotent. As long as the practitioners were willing to use their abilities to benefit the people and everyone was kind, there would naturally be no more suffering in the world.
But apparently, she wasn't the only one who thought so.
One thousand three hundred years ago, someone held on to this ideal, with the great ambition to "control half of the country", pushed back the Qingman army for 100,000 miles, and established the Yaoshan Academy.
This person's name is Xie Qian.
Xie Qian, who first emerged at the end of the troubled times, is indeed worthy of the title of "Confucian Sage".
However, 1,300 years later, the world has not changed. Instead, Yaoshan Academy has now become just one of the many immortal gates.
In fact, it now seems that Xie Qian and Yaoshan Academy are even more inhumane than the average immortal sect.
So Xu Fu understood that "peace" was not in the immortal gate.
Then, she speculated that "peace" might be in the hands of the court.
The Wei Dynasty court generally represents the interests of mortals. If the court had not checked and balanced the immortal sects, the world today would be even more terrifying.
Xu Fu was at the very center of the Wei court and served as the imperial teacher for five hundred years.
With the two characters "Chan Liao" given by her master, she built the towering tower to help the Wei Dynasty rule the world.
But she also saw that the prosperity and prosperity of the Wei Dynasty seemed to have nothing to do with the people under it.
The imperial court does protect the people, but this does not mean that they love the people like their own children. It is simply because they need the food, clothing, shelter and transportation provided by mortals, and use this as a bargaining chip in a tug-of-war with the immortals.
Then Xu Fu understood that "peace" was not in the court either.
If the immortal gate disappears one day, the imperial court will become another immortal gate.
And it will only get worse.
For a long time, Xu Fu could not find the answer to her destiny. The divination results in the Starry Sky Water Mirror always fell on the Wei Dynasty, so she could only wait.
Waiting for the destiny to turn.
During the 170th year of Yong'an in the Wei Dynasty, she discovered a thief who was stealing the country's destiny.
As the ripples of the water mirror that predicted the nation's destiny pushed the trajectory of the stars, the "peaceful" destiny that had been dormant like rust for five hundred years also fell on the little thief.
Before this little thief in the Zhenbei Palace was suddenly "possessed", the destiny that Xu Fu sensed had always been vague.
But it became increasingly clear from the moment he stole the country's destiny.
This is also one of the reasons why Gu Fangchen's threats always work.
If the direction of destiny had been a little vague, Xu Fu would not have retreated again and again and been bullied by this little thief.
And when Gu Fangchen began to say the words corresponding to the nine preachers, the destiny of "Taiping" was welded to him, and no matter how Xu Fu calculated, it did not waver at all.
So Xu Fu understood that the answer he had been thinking about for five hundred years was not in the immortal sect or in the imperial court.
It all depends on this little thief in front of me.
This answer was ridiculous, but Xu Fu knew clearly that there was no possibility that he had made a mistake.
And those nine words are the key among the keys.
She must cut off the cause and effect in order to truly reach her destiny.
And Xu Fu himself is also involved in these causes and effects——
"Chanliao" means high, vast, remote and lonely.
This is Xu Fu’s destiny book.
To completely sever the cause and effect, it means that she must go against her own destiny... This is the destiny she is pursuing.
It is a necessary path that must not be avoided.
"Of course I know that the name 'Chan Liao' refers to the Grand Master, but why did the Grand Master come to me when he was about to cut off the cause and effect?"
Gu Fangchen looked at Xu Fu, who was sitting next to him seriously, with a half-smile and asked a question even though he knew the answer.
At this moment, the State Master still kept a distance of one foot from him, which was very polite. However, for the State Master, who always stood a hundred feet away from others, this distance was already quite close.
The unique cold fragrance of the nun has unknowingly filled the surroundings.
Gu Fangchen thought of the time when Xu Fu possessed Xue Xiang. There was a faint and alluring fragrance. Only when he was in love, and it was soaked with sweat, could it have such a strong fragrance, which made people even more eager.
He probably guessed why Xu Fu suddenly came over, but he was also a little surprised. After all, the National Master has always been a little arrogant.
When possessing Xuexiang, he thought Gu Fangchen was unaware of the situation many times, but when he contacted her again, he turned his back on him.
It is obvious that the Imperial Master is really thin-skinned.
Looking at the Imperial Master sitting there seriously, Gu Fangchen couldn't help but want to tease her.
Xu Fu sat upright, pursed his lips with a serious expression, and explained:
"The word 'Chan Liao' means lofty, vast, and distant. In other words, it means detached from the mundane world... Therefore, to completely break this destiny book, I must step into the mortal world and experience the seven emotions and six desires."
The Imperial Master spoke in a serious tone, but this was not the answer Gu Fangchen wanted.
He raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Fu, and said word by word:
"Master Imperial Master, how could I not know this?"
You know, you still ask?
Xu Fu was a little annoyed, feeling that this little thief Gu Fangchen was playing tricks on him again. He turned around, but met Gu Fangchen's fixed gaze on him, and was stunned for a moment.
His eyes were extremely serious, totally unlike the way he used to smile and joke with me.
She had been clasping her hands tightly against the edge of the bed, but she subconsciously loosened them.
Gu Fangchen looked at the stunned nun in front of him, smiled, blinked his eyes, and leaned over to say softly:
"Xu Fu."
Xu Fu's heart skipped a beat and he was a little at a loss... This seemed to be the first time he called his name directly.
In the past, this little thief was always laughing and only called her "Master National Master". Although he called her "Master", he did not show any respect to her, but was very affectionate instead.
This time, when he called her name, it seemed like he cherished her very much.
Gu Fangchen stretched out her hand and gently covered Xu Fu's slightly cold slender hand, then naturally slipped her hand in between their fingers and held her hand.
Xu Fu pursed his lips, thinking about what he came here for today, and did not avoid it.
"To experience the seven emotions and six desires, is there a specific object?"
He laughed and said:
"Or, could it be that my name, Gu Fangchen, is written in your water mirror?"
Xu Fu was stunned, then shook his head:
"Of course not..."
The destiny of "peace" is indeed on Gu Fangchen, but there is no specific way to break her own "Canliao" destiny book.
Just need to break it...
Seeing that she was a little confused, Gu Fangchen continued to persuade her:
"So, there's no specific person, but you subconsciously came to me, right?"
Xu Fu opened his mouth, but found that it was indeed the case.
Theoretically, her fortune book has nothing to do with Gu Fangchen.
But without much thought, she decided that she needed to go through Gu Fangchen to leave the world behind.
This cannot be explained by her previous experience when she possessed Xuexiang, because she once told herself that it was nothing more than the cause and effect of the physical body and had nothing to do with herself.
After being freed from the possession, she is still the Grand Master of Wei, the Saint of Life Xu Fu.
How could she sink into despair just because of an accident in the desert sea... She could completely separate these two things.
Then why did she come to find Gu Fangchen now?
Gu Fangchen said quietly:
"Seven emotions and six desires, seven emotions come first, six desires come second."
"You and I both know that having desires without emotions doesn't count as breaking the instructions in a person's destiny."
Those proverbs are a summary of a person's life.
Xu Fu was a heartless man, which is why he was given the name "Chan Liao".
If you want to break this word and cut off this cause and effect line, you will naturally change from being ruthless to being compassionate.
The Grand Master, with a serious attitude as if doing his job, was blabbering on with a lot of explanations. To put it bluntly, he was just trying to cover up a fact.
Gu Fangchen curled up the corners of his mouth, feeling very proud.
"Master Imperial Master, it seems that you have me in your heart."
Xu Fu froze in place, feeling as if struck by lightning. These words were like a bolt from the blue, splitting her apart completely, exposing everything she had hidden.
The self-deceiving words she said to Gu Fangchen seemed to become clear and obvious charges, judging her.
Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows, and when he saw the Imperial Master who was always as cold and elegant as a snowman, his ears started to turn red.
Xu Fu is actually not that slow.
However, the more she was repeatedly humiliated in front of Gu Fangchen, the more unwilling she was to admit it in front of him. Otherwise, she would inevitably be humble, making Gu Fangchen proud and showing off in front of her, and she would be controlled by this little thief again.
Before, when Gu Fangchen murdered the king and defected, she hesitated once, wondering whether to take direct action...
At that time, the connection between the destiny of "peace" and Gu Fangchen was not even so clear. Between Da Wei and Gu Fangchen, she subconsciously protected the latter.
From that moment on, she couldn't even convince herself.
But verbally, she could still use the pursuit of the destiny of "peace" as an excuse.
However, this time, she subconsciously wanted to use the same trick again, thinking that fate could still be used as an excuse, and ran to find Gu Fangchen, but was finally caught by the latter.
Xu Fu pursed his lips and frowned, feeling embarrassed but speechless.
It's impossible that she would deliberately say that she really didn't have a specific candidate just to hide her feelings for Gu Fangchen, right?
There is indeed no specific person to choose based on the cause and effect to end her karma.
But the person in her mind, from beginning to end, was only one person.
It’s the smug little thief in front of me!
Xu Fu was annoyed and silent with a cold face, but Gu Fangchen did not press him any further. He took the Imperial Master's hand, turned his body around, blinked, and said magnanimously:
"Well, that's fine without it."
"Just assume I guessed wrong, okay?"
Xu Fu then raised his head and looked at him, and after a while he snorted coldly:
"I just guessed wrong."
Gu Fangchen naturally went along with the coaxing:
"Okay, okay, I guessed wrong."
"So, Master Imperial Master, where were we talking about just now?"
"To enter the mortal world and experience the seven emotions and six desires."
"Hmm... then how do I enter the Dharma? There are quite a few emotions... I'd appreciate it, Grand Master, please enlighten me."
Gu Fangchen looked at the Imperial Master with a serious face, like a seeker eager for knowledge.
Xu Fu looked at him pretending, hummed, glanced at the two people holding hands, and said indifferently with a high attitude:
"Since you want me to teach you, then you naturally have to listen to me."
Gu Fangchen was stunned, then subconsciously looked at Xu Fu's expression and said carefully:
"Of course I listen, but the Imperial Master needs to make it clear what level of listening is considered listening..."
You can't give detailed instructions such as moving the machine gun a few centimeters to the left, right?
That kind of thing can't be micromanaged to this extent.
Even practitioners can’t do that!
I'm not a saint, and I can't control myself precisely when I'm deeply in love.
He was really afraid that the Imperial Master would get angry and challenge him... wouldn't he be crippled then?
Gu Fangchen thought about it and felt that he might not be able to control the Imperial Master now.
Although Xu Fu is a second-grade Shinto cultivator, after entering the Snow Realm, his physical strength will be raised to the fourth-grade level.
Besides, she is the national teacher and has no shortage of elixir resources, so her physical strength should be at least third level.
But we can’t really fight...it’s really difficult.
Xu Fu raised his eyes and said coldly:
"Do you have any other opinions?"
Gu Fangchen was afraid that the Imperial Master would be so ashamed and angry that he would regret it, so he quickly shook his head:
"No, no."
"...In that case, it's getting late. For the sake of destiny, we must hurry."
With a serious expression on his face, he raised his hand and pulled the very stiff Imperial Master over.
Xu Fu pretended to be calm at the moment, but in fact when Gu Fangchen kissed him, he still couldn't help trembling, and then he seemed to turn into a puddle of water.
“Hmm…”
…
In the evening.
Prajna Lianyue concealed her tracks and landed in the courtyard of Gu Fangchen's mansion.

ps: Post first and make revisions later. Please refresh if there are any errors or omissions!
About the national teacher... In fact, her personality is that she is cold on the outside but a nympho on the inside. From the very beginning, when she was controlled by Gu Fangchen as "lustful", she naturally thought of giving him some "sweetness", and later on, she would definitely not admit it, but she was actually looking forward to it.
Please give me a vote for this lovable teacher who is a bit tsundere but can comfort himself.
