【What a pity!】 Guanyin was extremely regretful.
She could see what Li Changzhou saw and hear what Li Changzhou heard. In order to achieve a purpose that was almost non-existent in the world, she almost became one with Li Changzhou.
Except for special occasions when she would avoid him, Guanyin could sense everything Li Changzhou felt, including the fact that his divine body was about to break through.
“It’s not the right time yet.” Li Changzhou’s anger had subsided, and he didn’t care at all.
Without needing to say much, Guanyin could sense his abundant confidence in himself—if he could do it, why should he be afraid of not being able to?
Li Changzhou drove his chariot across the sky, a hint of amusement in his voice:
"Qinglan often tells me that we cannot use our ideal of perfection to demand reality, or even judge or deny reality, otherwise life will be very painful."
Your wife has a profound understanding of the world; she is a genius in spiritual cultivation.
"Yes, yes, she is my wife!" Li Changzhou said, completely misunderstanding the situation.
Guanyin: [...]
To use a trendy phrase, she never imagined that she would one day be eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"Bodhisattva, do you know what kind of supernatural power Zhu Jiuyin's 'seeing it as day and closing it as night' is?" Li Changzhou asked.
He possesses the Fragrant Leaf Crown, the first volume of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, the complete volume of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, and the Hundred Gates of the Three Thousand Great Divine Powers. He also has several divine powers that can change the world, although he has hardly cultivated any of them, but he knows a little about them. However, he does not recognize the moves of Zhu Jiuyin.
Guanyin pondered for a moment and said, "[It's more like an instinct than a supernatural power, similar to the laser eyes of your divine body.]"
"What the Bodhisattva means is that opening one's eyes is like daytime. In reality, it's because Zhujiuyin's eyes have a built-in 'flashlight' function in order to see the world clearly. When he opens his eyes, his 'gaze' illuminates everything he can see?"
"This is just my guess; we'll have to wait for your confirmation..."
call!
A strong wind blew across the clouds, causing them to surge and undulate like ocean waves. A wind bird burst forth from Li Changzhou's sleeve, flying away into the distance like a flowing cloud.
Li Changzhou pulled on the reins, restraining the strange beast, and hovered above the sea of clouds.
"Why are you stopping? Hurry up and chase after them!" Guanyin urged.
Li Changzhou glanced at Zhujiuyin, who stood like a pillar of heaven, and before he could speak, Guanyin already knew what he was thinking.
Is now the time to satisfy your curiosity? You've lost your 'unrestrained' nature; there are penalties for failing the mission. Go now!
Li Changzhou sighed, like a child who had finally finished his homework and was about to watch some TV, only to be told by his elders to go to bed.
"drive!"
He pulled on the reins, and the beast galloped off in the direction of the wind.
The sky had changed from dusk at four in the afternoon to a deep blue at six, and soon it turned completely dark again.
During this time, as Zhu Jiuyin closed his eyes, the world seemed to have a compressed illusion.
The Milky Way in the sky spun like a sword, as if displaying its blade to the wild land; on the land, strange plants and beasts emitted specks of light.
The creatures, fearing the gaze of Zhujiuyin, emerged from their caves and began their nocturnal hunt.
A two-thousand-meter-tall tree blossoms, each flower a lamp, its oil the sweetest and most nutritious honey. Countless predators hide in the tree, in places where the lamps cannot reach.
This should have been a hunting day, no different from the last time Zhu Jiuyin closed his eyes.
But a black hand, silent and still, emerged from the thick darkness and grasped the tree adorned with lanterns.
The strange beasts that filled the tree let out panicked and shrill screams.
The lantern trees, clustered together like a forest, suddenly went out, just as windows that had heard gunshots and screams coming from the street were about to be extinguished.
Xiang simply pounced on it and quickly stomped out the campfire.
"grandfather......"
"Quiet!"
Everyone held their breath; some carefully raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses, while others reached for the weapons at their waists.
The screams of a dying man continued for most of the night before the world returned to peace, and the lanterns were lit again, making the world shine brightly once more.
In the distance, Jiao gently grasped her grandfather's arm, patted his hand, and stepped forward to light the campfire.
The firelight seemed to have been holding back for a long time, and it couldn't wait to burst out. Everyone felt a warmth and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who?!" Xiang suddenly jumped up and drew a burning branch from his waist.
Amidst a series of clanging metallic sounds, the others drew their weapons.
As everyone watched, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. The firelight cautiously probed before daring to fall upon the figure.
The wandering knights, led by Xiang, gasped in shock.
It is short in stature, with one head, one nose, one mouth, two ears, two eyes, and four limbs, and walks upright!
They are either descendants of the Three Sovereigns or the Five Emperors.
"Gentlemen, I mean no harm," the newcomer said, clasping his hands in greeting. "It's just that the surroundings are dangerous, and I'm all alone. I'd like to borrow a light from you all."
"Prime Minister." Everyone looked at the Prime Minister.
Xiang's four eyes were fixed on Li Changzhou. As a wandering knight who had spent most of his life on the road, he could easily smell the murderous aura and bloodstains on Li Changzhou, which made him feel cold all over.
No match for them!
"...Haha!" Xiang put away the burning branches and clasped his hands in a fist salute. "When we're out in the world, we're all friends. Please don't look down on us because we're small and weak."
"Among friends, there is no distinction between the strong and the weak."
The group sat around the campfire.
They had previously said they were friends, but Li Changzhou was clearly isolated, with the wandering knights, led by Xiang, gathering in a fan shape opposite him.
As Li Changzhou used his Emerald Bee Sword to grill a piece of exotic beast meat, he observed the people by the firelight.
