Grand Empress Dowager Xu Yunqing!
Everyone was shocked the moment this name came out of Yan Guilai's mouth.
"You're crazy!"
Ning Siyan stared at Yan Guilai in disbelief, "She is the elder of the Taoist temple and the mother of the retired emperor!"
"She has never tried to assassinate the Emperor. She has always been protecting him. How could she be the Second Dream?"
"Besides, Second Dream is an artificial intelligence. It was created by our ancestors and has existed for thousands of years. It may be able to live forever, but it is definitely not a true human, so it cannot be his mother!"
This was the crux of the matter. Yan Guilai pondered for a moment and replied to Ning Siyan, "What if, I mean, what if the mother of the retired emperor wasn't Xu Yunqing?"
"Or perhaps it's controlling someone in some way? Mr. You said that after the Chosen One descends, a Destroyer is often born. He said this might be a way of achieving balance. As for the purpose... it's probably because they don't want this world's civilization to be interfered with by external forces."
Ning Siyan stared at Yan Guilai and said very seriously: "You are just guessing. Can you just guess about this kind of thing?"
Yan Guilai raised his head and said, "Mr. You said that the only way to confirm this is to find someone."
"who?"
"Master Fu!"
“…”
Yan Guilai turned to look at Fu Xiaoguan again, "Master and Mr. You have traveled to many places in the past three years, including the Taoist temple, Jinling, and the White Horse Temple in Janggeum Castle."
"Xu Yunqing is from the Xu family in Jinling. Her father is Xu Shaoguang. When she was young... Actually, Xu Shaoguang didn't like her because she had some mental problems."
Fu Xiaoguan was suddenly startled. He recalled that when Xu Huaishu came to his house in Jinling, he brought a wooden fish with him. The two had a long conversation, mostly about his mother, Xu Yunqing.
Xu Huaishu said something difficult to understand at that time:
"Actually... there's something wrong with your mother's brain!"
"It's a secret. Anyway, your mother has been a little abnormal since she was a child. It's not serious, she just talks nonsense occasionally."
"I remember when she was little, she often squatted under the old willow tree in the yard, looking at the pond, saying something like... the pool under the shade of the tree wasn't a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky, crushed among the floating algae, precipitating a rainbow-like dream... She was only six years old at the time, saying such incomprehensible things. Was there something wrong with her brain?" "See Chapter 760"
At this time, Yan Guilai spoke again. He looked at Fu Xiaoguan's uncertain expression and said:
"Afterwards, Xu Shaoguang resigned from his official position and retired, spending the rest of his life in that Buddhist temple. My teacher verified that he mostly recited the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, which was in Xu Shaoguang's Buddhist temple. However, this Buddhist scripture was not even found in the White Horse Temple of the Buddhist sect."
Ning Siyan was startled, "What do you mean?"
"Master said that this Mahaparinirvana Sutra was most likely written by Xu Yunqing for Xu Shaoguang. At the time, Master didn't know where Xu Yunqing got this sutra, but after listening to what the Supreme Emperor said just now, I feel that she already knows it. In fact, she knows a lot of things. For example, she became the leader of the Moon Worship Sect by relying on the Turtle Breathing Technique, and the Turtle Breathing Technique was originally a secret of the Moon Worship Sect, but she just happened to know it."
"She once visited the White Horse Temple. No one knows what she said to Fan Wuxiang, the leader of the Buddhist sect. My teacher said that when you unified the five kingdoms, Fan Wuxiang left the White Horse Temple with his monks. He didn't come to kill you, but because of your kindness to Kuchan and the Bodhi Gāthā that you wrote for him."
"He's chasing Xu Yunqing!"
"I chased him all the way to the border town. Coincidentally, you were there, and my mentor was there too. Fan Wuxiang didn't attack you. His target was always Xu Yunqing!"
"Besides... she died twice, but came back to life both times. It's common sense that the dead cannot be resurrected, unless... unless she wasn't human!"
"There are many unreasonable things, such as..."
At this moment, Fu Xiaoguan's heart was filled with huge waves, and he thought of many past events.
For example, the wooden fish given to him by his grandfather Xu Shaoguang.
There was a letter from Xu Yunqing in the wooden fish.
The letter contained a poem called "Xijiang Yue, A Big Dream", which was written earlier than when he was at the Wu Dynasty Literary Meeting, so much so that he was extremely suspicious that Xu Yunqing was also a time traveler.
He thought again of the poem "A Farewell to Cambridge" engraved at the foot of the Confucius Temple.
He also thought of the time in the border town when the Buddhist Sect leader Fan Wuxiang hit Xu Yunqing's shoulder with his stick - that was a saint-level blow, and Xu Yunqing's meridians were broken under that blow, and it was indeed difficult for him to survive.
After that, he buried her in the imperial mausoleum, but a few days later when he went to the mausoleum again, she came back alive from the coffin.
But...she came to save me!
From beginning to end, she never showed any killing intention towards him.
Besides, these views of Bei Wangchuan and You Beidou are just speculations and have no real evidence.
What's more, Emperor Wu Changfeng wanted to pass the throne to him because he was the son of Wu Changfeng and Xu Yunqing!
There is no way that artificial intelligence can evolve to the point where it can give birth to children!
If her goal was to kill me, she would have had many opportunities, but she never did it to herself, and she was even worried about her own safety, so...
"impossible!"
Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand to interrupt what Yan Guilai was about to say, "This matter ends here. No one is allowed to say a word about it to anyone else!"
He stood up and said, "It's late, let's all stay at Jinghu Villa."
No one noticed that Ji Yungui was silently drinking a glass of wine at this time.
…
The night in Guanyun City is very dark.
The ice and snow have not completely melted yet, and it is very cold on such nights.
The lanterns in the main courtyard of Jinghu Villa had already been lit, just as they were when I first came here more than ten years ago.
Fu Xiaoguan had no desire to sleep. He sat under the pavilion in the yard, neither making wine nor tea.
He looked at the faint stars in the sky and felt a little confused.
Yan Guilai's words made him very confused for a moment, and he realized that the world was not that simple.
Was it a coincidence that I came here through time and space?
If it was a coincidence, then I have lived in this world for more than ten years. Although I have encountered many dangers in these ten years, without exception, I was able to turn danger into safety in the end, and there have been no accidents.
If it wasn't a coincidence... then some mysterious force had made arrangements.
Of course, Fu Xiaoguan didn't believe this, because fate was something illusory. Besides, there was no such thing as God in the world, whether in the past life or the present life.
Looking back on past lives, there are many controversial accounts of the birth of mankind.
There are speculations based on the theory of evolution, as well as theories that it was created by alien creatures, so he was not too surprised that there was a second dream in this world. This only meant that the birth of this world was the result of interference from a more advanced civilization.
Moreover, in that half of the Great Prophecy, it was mentioned that they hoped for an outsider, and they even hoped that this outsider could control the Second Dream and thus promote the progress of this world civilization...
He was suddenly startled. Ten thousand years had passed. Could it be that the second dream had evolved into an independent consciousness and lost the constraints of the original program?
If so, could it have already left the nuclear base and come to this human world?
Who will it pretend to be?
"Why didn't it attack me?"
Fu Xiaoguan murmured to himself, and suddenly a voice came:
"Because of the inkwell you have on you!"
The person who came was Ji Yungui, holding an old book in his hand.
"The Taoist temple master, Su Changsheng, once asked Su Jue to give you an inkstone!"
"A circle is formed by a compass, a square is formed by a square. The top is the same, the bottom is even. Draw a line to set the rules, measure three feet and you can set the world right!"
