"Xiaowu, go to bed early and don"t come to the woman"s wing room so often."
"Uncle Qiong is right. I got it."
Nie Xiaowu answered Qiongqi in a confrontational tone, which made Qiongqi have more suspects. "It seems that I should remind the G.o.ddess of the Moon to be alert to Nie Xiaowu."
In the wing room, Changxi had been listening to what happened outside. "Does Nie Xiaowu approach me also for the Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book? But Nie Xiaowu is only a common person. How can he know about the Pangu Heavenly Book? No! Xiaowu is a kind boy. How can he be a spy? He will not be the man of Chidi. If he did belong to the Mount Da Huang, Chidi would have been here already."
The room was filled with medicinal herbs, and the bathtub was wrapped steamy fog. Wuyou closed her eyes, her face flushed by the medical steam. Her arms and legs had never stretched out as now. The flowing air spread out in all directions. Changxi gestured in her palms and read the spell. Then, her brow bones opened, and Spirit Power flowed in the bones. Floating flowing light gathered little by little. When a blue thing jumped out of the brow bones, Changxi condensed the blue things. It was an exquisite spinel that was suspending and floating. This was called "G.o.d Farmer Techniques" in the Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book. The G.o.d Farmer condensed the Spiritual Herb"s quintessence. The Spiritual Herb had been growing for tens of millions of years and born with the sun and the moon. It was the spiritual quintessence created at the moment of the initial opening of Chaos, which was a panacea able to detoxicate every kind of poison. Changxi opened Wuyou"s all the veins. Flowing light surged on her fingers slowly. When the delicate blue spinel melted open, suspending medical herb"s spiritual quintessence was dancing. Then, Changxi tore off the seal on the Heavenly Book, and tens of thousands of spiritual quintessence flooded into Wuyou"s body. With sharp eyes and agile hands, Changxi condensed her Spirit Power to conjure and seal up these spiritual creatures. So the restless spiritual quintessences were sealed into Wuyou"s souls. Well, these spiritual quintessence could not be overlooked, which could make a common person"s body get brisker day after day and could clean the poison inside the woman. When the woman adapted herself to the spiritual quintessence, she could have the power to summon her Ancient Spirits. The spiritual quintessence took a tiny part of the Divine Being Heavenly Book. Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book embraced the power of the universe and was a collective wisdom of Pangu"s generations. No one could imagine that such a shabby room would be a place where the G.o.d of Creation of the three realms would emerge. And one day people would be impressed by such Spirit Power.
Changxi had spent tens of thousands of years comprehending its profound secret. The mystery that Black Emperor failed to understand was broken through by the G.o.ddess of the Moon. But there must be someone to inherit the wisdom. The G.o.ddess of the Moon chose Wuyou, merely because Wuyou had a strong will and a kind heart. The Heavenly Book possessed divine power. Whosoever inherited it must have a compa.s.sionate feeling for all creatures. The Heavenly Book both had the power to create the world and the incarnation to destroy it. Therefore, to protect the three realms, it was a must to have the power to control Divine Being. "Master could not do that. Perhaps the woman can eliminate demons for the three realms and stop such dark influences to bring peace and harmony to the Master"s three realms again. Master, this is the atone for my crime. Though it comes tens of thousands of years late, I hope it can solace your souls in the Heaven."
Qiongqi was guarding the G.o.ddess of the Moon quietly outside the door. He showed no interest in the Divine Being Heavenly Book, though everybody was desperate for. He only hoped that he could accompany the G.o.ddess of the Moon in his lifetime. The Heavenly Book was the G.o.ddess of the Moon"s secret worry. Finally, it could find its master today. All the people believed that the Heavenly Book was a kind of book. But in fact, the Heavenly Book was a delicate spinel, a crystal that condensed the wisdom of the Pangu"s generations. Qiongqi knew the G.o.ddess of the Moon"s painstaking intention, and he always knew it because they were close friends for tens of thousands of years.
Changxi planted the Spiritual Herb"s original essence into the woman"s body. The spiritual quintessence ran through Wuyou"s bloodlines, and the dancing original essence jumped under her skin to grab a place. And naga"s poisons in Wuyou"s blood were ringed by those original essences. When Changxi injected more Spirit Power, those original essences jumped on the naga"s poison, leaving them nowhere to hide, and thus, naga"s poison was annihilated completely by the Spiritual Herb"s original essences. Changxi unlocked the second seal, and the s.p.a.ce on her eyebrow bones opened. Flowing light like blood and magma gathered in the Spirit Power. This was the world devastating power, whose incandescence would destroy all living creatures. The blood of the purgatory had the aura of the G.o.d of Death. Changxi knew it was the power that the three realms were crazy for, but now it would belong to the woman. Changxi had not expected that Pangu"s power would be granted to a woman, but she was certain that the woman was competent for the power, maybe going further than Black Emperor. Changxi"s spiritual fingers gently pushed the suppressing-Divine Being power into the woman"s body. Even Black Emperor himself could never have such power to surrender a G.o.d and wipe out a devil. But Changxi had puzzled it out. Those power being nurtured in the Original Spirit would belong to the woman. Black Emperor never thought that the Heavenly Book must be fostered by the Original Spirit, shone by the sun and the moon in Yao Guang, and fed by the Fo Lai fruit. To activate the Divine Being Heavenly Book, Changxi had been living in the Mount Yao Guang, and no one including Wu Shen knew her trace. After the battle in the Cuihua Mountain, Changxi abandoned both Yun Mu"s spirit and her daughter and made the agreement with the King of the Fairy Kingdom that she would never see her daughter. Afterward, Changxi did not take a step in the Fairy Kingdom. She wanted nothing but a penance to comprehend the formidable power that could shake both the heaven and the earth one day, and protected the three realms for her Master. The Spirit Power flowing on the Heavenly Book poured out of the Original Spirit. Changxi could not help but dropping tears. When the third Heavenly Book"s seal was removed, Spirit Power converged like roaring rivers. The Spirit Power breaking out of the spinel was the power of restoration and resurrection to nurture the living creature in the three realms just like rain and sunshine to nourish everything. Changxi snapped her spiritual fingers and opened the wisdom door for Jiang Wuyou. The woman was lifted up suspending by the divine power. The original essences were cleaning the woman"s bones and veins while the Spirit Power that could wither any G.o.d and devil was burning in the woman"s body like magma. When the Power of World Creation met with the three Spirit Power, the woman"s inky hair loosened up and her scars on her cheek were peeling off. When the skin that had been corroded by the naga"s poison recovered, Changxi was amazed by the scene: the woman"s skin was as clear as jade; her closed eyes were covered with thick eyelashes, and her nose was straight and slightly upturned. Although her lips looked rather pale, it did not affect her beauty. Some of her hair strayed on her elegant neck. Her jade-like skin was so crystal and mellow. What made Changxi most amazed was the woman"s four inches waist, which could stand out her plump breast. Bathed in the flowing light, the woman"s purple hair band gleamed attractively. In front of Changxi, the woman was still the woman. But Changxi knew that the woman was not what she used to be. Her charm and beauty could not be covered by the sun and the moon. To conceal the woman"s real look, flowing light drifted around the woman. Qiongqi had been guarding outside the room. As for what the G.o.ddess of the Moon had done, Qiongqi knew well. But he did nothing but let out a sigh. Because the G.o.ddess of the Moon should have inherited the divine power, but she was willing to give to the woman easily. "It may not be a bad idea. The G.o.ddess of the Moon can free herself from the crime on her that accused her of killing her master and grabbing the Divine Being Heavenly Book."
Since Nie Xiaowu had been caught in the act by Qiongqi, Nie Xiaowu was being watched closely. Wuyou had to move on her life. Every day she pa.s.sed the vegetable garden, she had some expectations in her heart. She knew that Xu Linghe had forgotten her, but she was still willing to guard her lover. This time, she stood in the courtyard, waiting for the night"s falling. It had been so late, but the courtyard in the neighborhood was still quiet. In normal time, Xu Linghe would sit on the courtyard, enjoying the tea. But why hadn"t he shown up yet? With more thoughts, Wuyou became more worried. She tried to climb over the wall to see his courtyard, but always fell from the wall after several attempts. On the other courtyard, Xu Linghe was amused by the woman. "Why can"t she climb over such a short wall?" Just now he tried to find out Si Shui on the map with Ying Fu, but failed. So he wondered where Ying Fu got the map. Xu Linghe knew that the woman was Xiao Douya"s mother and he loved Xiao Douya so much. Even one night, he dreamt about Xiao Douya. And he woke up with surprise. It seemed that he should marry a woman now.
"So ugly. And you know her? Well, Kunlun"s disciple may not have a chance to see a beautiful woman since they were born."
"Old guy, you are so mean. The woman is miserable, and you still rub the salt on her wound."
The two entered the courtyard one after the other. When Wuyou climbed over the wall, the moon had risen up to the treetops. Her footsteps pattered the fallen leaves. The people of the house were so lazy, and the whole courtyard was quiet. The house beside the bamboo forest was lit up with candles. Wuyou walked along the wall. However, the people inside had discovered her already.
"Sect Master, why did the woman come here at night?"
Chengyi was quite curious about it, and Liu Ruoshui was more eager to know the Sect Master"s opinion. The woman must have some hidden intention since she dared to climb over the wall and enter the house.
"Don"t ask more. She is his lover."
Xu Linghe sprouted out the water he had just taken in. Ying Fu held the paper fan to dodge the spray. Xu Linghe thought, "The old man is really good at speaking shocking remarks. How could he think that the woman is my lover?" Outside the room, the woman crouched at the wall, not knowing that the people inside felt so funny about her posture. Chengyi just felt the woman was quite familiar, but when he could recollect it, Liu Ruoshui spoke first.
"Xiao Douya"s mother?"
Liu Ruoshui"s hanging heart finally fell. After all, the woman looked so ugly while men preferred beautiful ladies.
Looking through the paper window, Wuyou could finally see her husband. In the candlelight, her husband just sat there quietly, the teacup in his hand steaming. Her husband looked quite unreal. Wuyou knew that it was not the candle that fumed her eyes, but the bitterness in her heart. Although there was only a paper window between them, it seemed they were separated by an unreachable distance. Wuyou wrote on the paper window gently. Although she could not speak, she only wanted to miss him one more.
Inside the room, the man"s fingers trembled slightly. "The woman is writing my name!" Although the handwriting was vague, Xu Linghe himself could know that. Not until the slim figure disappeared did Xu Linghe recollect himself and feel remorseful at his trance just now. Ying Fu"s face darkened. "Does the young man really have some affair with the woman?" The more Ying Fu thought about it, the more pleased he felt. "Boy, I haven"t gotten even with you about my falling down. I am such a treacherous villain that I will take this revenge for sure."
When Wuyou came back, she still drowned herself in sadness. Xiao Douya threw himself into Wuyou"s arms with tears. His little hand clenched Wuyou"s big hand tightly. Not knowing why, Wuyou burst into tears. She did not know how long she hadn"t shed tears, but knew that she could not be knocked down, because she had no one behind her. Even if her husband was still alive, they were just strangers. Her husband did not remember her, while she was still waiting in the same place. Wuyou thought about what she used to be like. So reasonably acted in a pettish and mischievous way. But at present, she could do nothing but just peeked at him humbly. Without love, she was nothing.
"Mom, I am good and listen to you... Mom, you should be good... and never leave me."
"Xiao Douya is the best. Come here, your Uncle Xiaowu. Let me fly you high."
Xiao Douya wiped his nose and crawled onto Nie Xiaowu. Wuyou felt better now and felt ashamed about that she wailed in front of Xiao Douya. She should not have done that, but she could not control herself and just want to cry.
The Divine Being Heavenly Book rooted and sprouted in Wuyou"s body. Changxi observed the woman"s changes quietly. The reason why Changxi had sealed up the woman"s look was not to attract others" attractions. After all, the woman had a child. No matter how powerful the woman would be, she could not prevent the thieves. Changxi hoped the woman and her child could live a simple and stable life as much as possible. As for what would happen in the future, Changxi was unable to cope so much.
