…
“Since I couldn’t be with my beloved one, why should I care if the world was crashing?”
“What does it matter to me if the earth was upside down and the sky was falling apart?”
Even eminent monks like Great Master Wuwei, who had learned the truth of Tao, had remained silent for a long time after hearing these remarks and did not know what to say.
How decidedly affectionate was it so that this remark could sound arbitrary and soulful but actually showed a hint of madness?
It was said that Qin Weibai was extremely beautiful.
It was said that Qin Weibai was strong and resourceful.
It was said that Qin Weibai was charming to common people.
But she had always been her. Her heart was like ice and snow, glittering and translucent. She never forgot her original aspiration.
All her life, she only lived for one person at all costs.
Was this love in the world of mortals? Or was this a psychological barrier outside the world of mortals?
“Karma.”
Great Master Wuwei sighed deeply, and his tone was helpless and desolate.
“I don’t mind what is right. I just want to keep doing what I should do all the time. How can it be said as karma?”
Qin Weibai stroked her long hair beside her ears. She was fresh and elegant like a lotus flower beside the lake, holy, white, and flawless.
She looked at the master of metaphysics in front of her sincerely, and whispered, “Please help me, master.”
Great Master Wuwei’s body slightly stooped down. His ca.s.sock was still bright and dazzling, but his whole spirit was gaunt. In a short period of time and in a few words, the eminent monk could clearly feel that he was tied up with cause and effect and they were almost unbearable.
“I will do my best.”
He opened his mouth and finally spoke, but he spoke with extreme difficulty.
“Thank you, master.”
Qin Weibai bowed again. Shen said in a respectful tone, “I’ve heard that the president of Zhongzhou State has asked you to predict the secret of heaven. This is in the bag. Master, you do not have to devote yourself to it. Just deal with it casually, and avoid being attacked by the backfire.”
“It’s in the bag?”
Great Master Wuwei squinted his eyes.
Qin Weibai nodded with a calm face. Her eyes were natural and firm.
“So… are you really behind the scenes?”
Great Master Wuwei asked directly. In fact, he only knew that there would be big moves in Zhongzhou State, but he didn’t know much about the specific plans. As a master of metaphysics, he didn’t need a detailed battle plan. When President Li Huacheng went to the Qingyun Temple, he also only gave him a general direction.
At that time, Great Master Wuwei only felt that this move was really crazy, but when he thought about it carefully, there was room for operability. If Qin Weibai and Samsara Palace were pushing the matter behind the scenes, then it would be a bit more certain. After all, Zhongzhou State might hurry to prepare, but since Samsara dared to make moves, it would definitely not be risky. They should have been preparing it for a long time.
“It’s a heaven-sent opportunity when it happens.”
Qin Weibai said quietly, without admitting or denying it.
“I believe this is a heaven-sent opportunity. But is it really just a coincidence?”
Master Wuwei asked with a smile.
“Samsara is prepared for this, but this opportunity was indeed created unintentionally. However, since the opportunity has already appeared, there is no reason to miss it.”
Qin Weibai had said everything and hid nothing. As the main planner of this top secret action, the confidentiality agreement of Zhongzhou State was nothing but waste paper for her. It was only a small matter that it was leaked to Great Master Wuwei.
“This time, the higher-ups should be so…”
The old monk shook his head, not knowing whether to describe it as decisive or as hasty.
Qin Weibai smiled and said indifferently, “Zhongzhou State is more urgent than we are. In recent years, the atmosphere among the Six in Zhongzhou State is very strange. They really need external interests and pressure to ease and transfer the internal contradictions. We just pushed them a little, and they agreed almost immediately without hesitation. After this, each of the Six has its own gains. What they can see and what they cannot see cannot be measured. It is also beneficial to the country. They have no reason to refuse.”
“Is it really good for our country?”
Great Master Wuwei looked at Qin Weibai deeply in the eyes and smiled softly. “Although each of the Six has its own gains, Samsara is a foreign force. What can you get from this operation? “At the very least, judging from the various clues that have emerged, I do not see any benefits that you can get from this operation. As for the Dragon Soul gathered by the Jiang family, I’d say you can just take it by yourself in the chaos and it does not belong to trade chips. Therefore, from this point of view…”
His eyes seemed to gradually become sharp. “In this case, maybe Samsara is really doing a good thing? You will weaken your own importance in the eyes of Zhongzhou State, in order to fulfill the dream of establishing the Shenzhou Empire?”
Qin Weibai tilted her head and smiled. “Isn’t that Dragon Soul enough?”
“It may be enough for you. But for the whole Samsara, it’s not enough.”
Great Master Wuwei shook his head and said, “Not enough at all.”
“Don’t worry.”
Qin Weibai looked down at the pool at her feet and said vaguely, “This is good for our country. As long as some people don’t do stupid things, they will understand it sooner or later.”
Great Master Wuwei seemed to have said much more than he used to today. In the past, he lived in Mount Qingyun and turned a blind eye to the disturbance of the outside world. Today, however, unlike usual, he was asking persistently, “What on earth the Samsara wants?”
“We want to create an opportunity.”
Qin Weibai said frankly, “An opportunity that can be grasped by other people. It is hard to say whether the other party will grasp it. I am only responsible for sending this opportunity out.”
Great Master Wuwei pondered and remained silent, trying to digest all this in his mind. Some clues have become clear with their questions and answers. However, there were also some clues that were still shrouded in clouds and mist. However, metaphysics could not be used to solve these unknowns.
It was related to the Six in Zhongzhou State and even the whole Dark World. As for this general trend, it was already an offence to use metaphysics to deduce the secret of heaven. It would be the same as seeking death to try to see through the mist.
“So, has the new organization in Zhongzhou State been set up?”
Great Master Wuwei asked again.
Qin Weibai planned this matter and pushed it forward. Now she had come out to run it. All the actions showed that the operation had reached a critical moment. The establishment of the new organization of the Zhongzhou State’s Special Warfare System might be the formal start of the operation.
“It’s been set up.”
Qin Weibai nodded and said, “The president has made up his mind. He probably decided it when he returned from here. The meeting of the Decision Making Committee was held until the middle of the night. They named it Snowdance Corps temporarily. Gu Qianchuan, the First Elder of Kunlun City, will be the commander of the army.”
Great Master Wuwei shook his head subconsciously.
Kunlun City, the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, the Academics and Sigh City all showed great eagerness in this operation. Great Master Wuwei was almost certain that this was an operation in which all parties had their own thoughts and purposes, and even their own evil ambitions. It was just that while all parties had their own plans, they really seemed to be doing their best in the overall operation. As for the result, no one would know.
Perhaps Qin Weibai also knew?
Great Master Wuwei looked at Qin Weibai again and shook his head again.
The little girl he adopted was really becoming more and more difficult to control.
“Master, if it had been before, you would never have asked me these questions.”
Qin Weibai was silent for a moment, then she suddenly smiled and said.
Great Master Wuwei smiled and said slowly, “I’m just curious. I just want to hear a story.”
Qin Weibai nodded and did not care much about this matter. She just whispered, “What about the thing I ask for?”
Great Master Wuwei stared at Qin Weibai.
In a trance, he seemed to see the end of his fate and the future that was far away.
“I will do my best.”
He finally opened his mouth and said calmly.
Qin Weibai nodded without saying thanks.
Great Master Wuwei had turned around. He casually waved his hand and said, “You should leave the mountain now.”
Qin Weibai bowed down again, then straightened up and walked to the Super Master Hall in the front yard.
The aged voice of the master sounded behind her, gentle and calm, with a kind of open-minded spirit that seemed to see through the world. “It is still not too late for you to regret. Once the Divine Spirit breaks due to the Dragon Soul, it is hard to say how serious the backfire will be, but your original chaotic birth destiny must become clear, so if…”
“Why shall I regret?”
Qin Weibai’s slim and tall figure did not stop. She entered the Super Master Hall as her elegant white dress gently waved. Her cold and resolute voice also reached the ears of Great Master Wuwei. “I will not regret until I die.”
In front of the Mahavira Hall.
Great Master Wuwei, who was left alone, finally showed an undisguised wry smile, helpless and pitying.
He silently turned around and entered the hall again.
The howling wind, accompanied by light drizzle, fell outside the temple, disturbing with one another.
In the hall, the candlelights lit up the room dimly, quiet and calm.
But the master’s heart rippled.
…
The rain was getting heavy.
Qin Weibai stepped out of the Super Master Hall. Flaming Fire, who was standing in front of the hall, had already opened up an oiled paper umbrella that she bought by the lake when she came. Its surface was clean and pure, matching well with the silent Buddhist temple and the surrounding green mountains and waters.
Seeing Qin Weibai coming out, Flaming Fire instinctively took a step forward and carried the umbrella over Qin Weibai’s head.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Weibai turned around and looked at the s.p.a.ce behind the Super Master Hall. Her bright eyes sparkled. After a long time, she then turned around gently and commanded calmly.
“Aren’t things going well, boss?”
Flaming Fire subconsciously asked.
“Yes.”
Qin Weibai shook her head and whispered, “My harvests are quite abundant.”
Flaming Fire said, “I see.” Then she walked out of the temple and immediately asked, “Where are we going now?”
Outside the temple, Ruzhen and Ruye had also left the temple for tens of meters. An old Taoist priest, dressed in a ca.s.sock with a wide robe and large sleeves, came around with calm and serenity, with a horsetail whisk in his hand.
Qin Weibai glanced at her and said quietly, “Let’s go to Jinling, the Eastern Theater of Operations.”
The two persons walked out of the temple gate.
Accompanied by Ruzhen and Ruye, the old Taoist priest who visited by himself entered the temple gate.
Ruzhen and Ruye nodded to Qin Weibai and didn’t say much.
When the two sides were about to pa.s.s each other, the old Taoist priest, Xuan Xuanzi, who came to invite Great Master Wuwei to deduce the secrets of heaven, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on Qin Weibai.
“Hermit Qin?”
Xuan Xuanzi stopped and said with a smile, “After a few years of separation, you are more graceful than before.”
Qin Weibai smiled with little sincerity. She didn’t even bother to be perfunctory.
A few people knew that when Xuan Xuanzi traveled to Huating a few years ago, he came across Qin Weibai, who was just over 20 years old at that time, and he gave her a four-word comment that was completely opposite to w.a.n.g Tianzong, the head of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
Internal King & External Saint.
But what no one knew was that the two people who met for the first time didn’t have a very good talk—it even could be said that they broke up in discord.
Facing Qin Weibai’s indifferent att.i.tude at this time, Xuan Xuanzi didn’t feel embarra.s.sed. His smile remained unchanged, and he whispered, “Since I meet you here, I can be sure that the big move in the Dark World was promoted by Hermit Qin.”
Qin Weibai didn’t look at him even a bit. She just smiled and went straight ahead with Flaming Fire.
They pa.s.sed by each other.
Behind her, Xuan Xuanzi’s clear and gentle voice with some dignity continued to ring, echoing through the mountain forest, “You are not a person trapped in the mundane world, so how should you disturb the world?”
Qin Weibai’s pace slightly paused, and she replied without turning around, “How can a person disturb the mundane world if he belongs to it?”
Xuan Xuanzi’s lips moved slightly, while Qin Weibai had gone far away.
The light rain was getting heavier. The Taoist priest stood on the spot for nearly 20 minutes, then he took a deep breath and turned towards the temple.
Ruzhen and Ruye closed the temple gate.
Leaves were swaying in the wind and rain.
With the door closed, the small temple was getting quieter.
Xuan Xuanzi walked along with Ruzhen and Ruye.
They walked through the Super Master Hall.
A gust of extremely cold wind, as if from a fierce winter, appeared in the most inappropriate time and blew straight into the Mahavira Hall.
In the fierce wind, cracks appeared on the two pillars in front of the Mahavira Hall. The whole main hall was trembling in the wind.
Bricks and tiles were flying and scattering everywhere.
The wind blew past the hall.
“Crash!”
In the sight of the three stunned people, the Mahavira Hall, small but vigorous, collapsed suddenly and turned into ruins.
Buddha’s golden body bathed in the rootless water between heaven and earth and looked more and more sympathetic and solemn.
Xuan Xuanzi’s face changed dramatically.
Amid the ruins, an old man in a bright ca.s.sock stood up, holding a broken disk with a peaceful smile. “Amitabha, Your Eminence has come from far away. I’m sorry to have you seen this.”
Xuan Xuanzi, who looked pale by the shock, strode forward two steps, forgetting to salute. He looked at Great Master Wuwei in front of him, and said despondently, “How could it be like this? Why will this happen?”
“Let’s not talk about it. It only adds troubles.”
The old man smiled with the disk in his hand.
It was indeed an old man.
His ca.s.sock was still bright and dazzling under the rain, but his white hair, almost shoulder-length and like ice and snow, stung everyone’s eyes.
Living Buddha grew white hair!
The old man, whose breath was extremely weak, grasped the disk in his hand, wiped the blood on the corners of his mouth with his other hand, and smiled softly, “Your Eminence, don’t worry about it. I just tried my best to do what was entrusted to me. Today’s deduction will not disappoint you.”
“Trying his best to do what was entrusted to him?”
Xuan Xuanzi suddenly responded, “Is it Qin Weibai?”
Without waiting for Master Wuwei to speak, he flung the horsetail whisk in his hand and said bitterly, “The evil woman is troubling the world! The evil woman is a disaster for the country!”
