Chapter 124: The Secret of Twin Flowers
When Xiaobai turned the corner of Langhuan Pavilion, he saw the black cat, Ajin, had transformed into a human form and was leaning against the porch, seemingly waiting for him. He walked over without hesitation and sat on the railing, looking relaxed.
"I'm afraid I haven't seen you in two hundred years. I thought you had ascended to the divine realm, but I didn't expect you to still be wandering around in the human world!"
Ah Jin was not angry when he heard this, and his golden eyes showed a calm expression.
"I thought you, a fox, would only harm women in the mortal world, but I didn't expect you to come to the Xuanmen to do evil."
These words made Xiaobai stand up immediately.
"What do you mean by doing evil? I just couldn't see through it. Now that I see through it, isn't that why I came here to practice?"
Ajin looked at Xiaobai, the golden color in his eyes was dreamy and unpredictable.
"Are you here to practice cultivation or to cultivate your mind?"
As soon as he said this, Xiaobai immediately sat down in silence. He came here because of the incense, and for the incense, but he didn't expect that this old friend from a hundred years ago could see through him at a glance.
"Lingxiang is indeed a good girl, but she is not someone you can dream of. Even though she is safe and sound now, she had a very difficult life, and you couldn't give her that only chance of survival."
Xiaobai was shocked when he heard this.
"What do you mean?!"
Ah Jin did not answer, but looked at the mountains in front of him, his thoughts going back to the past.
…
"Ajin." Mrs. Qiao was so weak on the bed that even the pills Lingxiang gave her could no longer help her to regain her strength.
Ajin looked at the gentle woman in front of him and stroked her forehead, as if she was still the girl with a pigtail from the Qiao family the day before.
"Ah Jin, thank you for taking care of me, a sickly child, for all these years. I'm not your destined one, so I can't let you ascend. But I'm grateful to you from the bottom of my heart, grateful that you can still be so kind to others."
Mrs. Qiao coughed twice as she spoke, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. Seeing this, Ah Jin hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it for her, but Mrs. Qiao turned her head slightly away.
"It's too late. Just listen to me. Since I saw you when you were little, I've seen this day and know what your future holds. But the secrets of heaven are truly unfathomable. What you seek will soon come to pass. But before then, I hope you can go to Jiuque Mountain to find him. He's a kind child, and besides my husband, he's the one I can't let go of the most."
"Although it was a close call in the end, as a mother, how could I bear to let my child suffer that kind of hardship? You must promise me that you will protect him and keep him safe." Mrs. Qiao looked at Ajin, her eyes full of pleading.
This was the girl he had watched grow up! But now she was in such a state...
Although he had seen life and death in the world for thousands of years, he still couldn't take it lightly, not to mention that she was the most different.
She is the only person who understands him in thousands of years!
"Okay, I promise!"
Ajin said it calmly, but who could have known that even after thousands of years of experience, his heart was still full of waves today.
It’s the woman in front of me who is about to lose her life!
"Don't be sad. Just think of me as one of the people you've met. God has arranged this for me. I think there must be a deep meaning behind it."
Mrs. Qiao coughed twice as she spoke, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. The red blood dripped onto the pillow, one drop... two drops... It was as smudged as ink, but as sharp as needles, piercing Ajin's heart and causing pain.
But even he couldn't save her!
"Miss Lingxiang is a good girl. Your future success will be largely due to her. However, her fate has been full of setbacks and tribulations, but she is fortunate to have the protection of the Heart Constellation by her side. However, soon, the Kang Constellation will come looking for her. I believe you recognize him. You must be careful when that happens, and don't hinder others from finding love, so as to protect her... If..."
Mrs. Qiao stopped talking before she finished, staring at the top of the tent. The tent was her dowry when she got married, and on the top was a wisteria embroidery she had embroidered herself.
"In my life, I've understood people and their fates, and I've seen through all the mysteries of heaven. It hasn't been all in vain..."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and never opened them again.
…
True Master Donghui truly disliked meddlesome matters, but the recent repeated attacks by Bai Wuchang had indeed infuriated him. He still vividly remembered the disaster of years ago, and his hatred for the demons was no less than that of his fellow disciples. Consequently, most recent discussions within the sect concerned demons, and True Master Donghui was never absent.
After riding the wind for a while, I returned to the door of Langhuan Pavilion, but saw Muchen lying on the table with his butt sticking up, not knowing what he was doing.
This little rascal started playing here in just a short while. He really needs a beating.
"Ahem!" Master Donghui cleared his throat. "Tong'er, why aren't you guarding the library properly? What are you doing there?"
Muchen was enjoying his meal when he was caught off guard by the sudden return of his master. He turned around hastily, his mouth blocked and his answers came out in sobs.
Looking at Mu Chen, whose mouth was still dripping with sugar, Master Donghui felt helpless for a moment, but when he saw the fruit plate behind him, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Although the fruit plate was extremely exquisite, it lingered with...
It is surrounded by the aura of demons!
…
The pavilion was indeed filled with books, including countless magical techniques, talismans, and theories on formations. Even the techniques for rare weapons could be found. Xinyi and her group browsed for a long time and surprisingly found a book that was similar to their own techniques.
Xinyi was a little confused and asked Lingxiang, but Lingxiang rolled her eyes at him.
"To be honest, Taoism was originally a unified whole. It's only over time, and after many twists and turns, that it branched out into many schools. There are countless examples of schools that have blended various techniques to form their own, but generally speaking, aren't they still the same old things? As the saying goes, Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and finally, all things were born."
"Take your Long, Lu, and Qiao families for example. Weren't they one and the same a long time ago? What's so strange about this?"
Lingxiang said as she slid down a ladder and handed the selected book to Rendong.
Honeysuckle looked down and saw that they were "The Art of Runes" and "The Secret of the Five Elements".
"This... didn't you say you wanted to teach me the Fan Technique? Why did you ask me to look up Talisman Techniques and the Five Elements Technique?"
"I have my considerations. Just look carefully and see who is the master, am I or are you?" Lingxiang said as she climbed up another ladder.
This time he climbed a little higher and was rummaging through a bookshelf, muttering to himself, "I remember it was here."
At this time, there was a rolling sound, and Long Qi was seen setting up another ladder and flying to Lingxiang.
Long Qi originally wanted to suddenly appear and scare Ling Xiang. If she lost her balance, he could take over and save her, but...
But Lingxiang was indifferent and just kept searching without any intention of paying any attention to him.
Long Qi felt lost for a moment. Bored, he picked up a book and flipped through it randomly, glancing at Lingxiang from time to time.
"What are you looking for?"
Lingxiang flipped through the pages intently, and without even looking up, she replied, "The music sheet. I remember it was right here, but I can't find it anymore."
Long Qi felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard this. Why was this spiritual fragrance so depressing? He was bored and looking at the book in his hand, but saw the three words "Twin Flower Secret" written on the page.
"Huh? This spell's name is interesting."
Lingxiang turned her head when she heard that, but her eyes flashed.
"It seems good, but if you are not deeply in love, you will not be able to use such magic."
Long Qi was very confused when he heard this. He looked down and his face darkened.
If it were him, he would definitely not use it...
