Chapter 115: The Love Wall in the Buddhist Pagoda
After sending off the two of them, Yi Tianxing was not surprised to see the abbot of Bao Tong Zen Temple whom he had met before.
"Have seen the master."
"What need for more courtesy?" The abbot joined his palms together.
Yi Tian Xing also bowed, but his expression showed a hint of embarrassment: "Sorry about that, the person was looking for me and disturbed your meditation, Master. Where is he now?"
The abbot smiled and said: "The guardian deity is indeed aware of the trouble. At present, that person is waiting for the guardian at the East Mountain Buddhist pagoda."
As the winter wind gradually subsided, the branches were bare of leaves. Yi Tian Xing walked towards the back of the temple, ascending to the top of East Mountain. Along the way, he stepped on stone stairs, and when he turned his head, he couldn't see the chaotic mountains, only the faint yellow walls of the Chan Temple. As he slowly tread on the stone stairs, he saw the eight-story Buddha tower standing before him. His entire being was already in top condition, with the fire element of his life wheel rotating slowly within him. He silently recited the Heart Sutra, ready to strike at any moment.
The Buddhist pagoda is majestic and solemn, like a Buddha statue that seems to be staring at you. The trees around the pagoda are lush and verdant, with a natural aura surrounding it. At the foot of the pagoda, there is a railing, and beside the railing stands a person.
A woman, a woman wearing light-colored clothes.
"What's the point of meeting again if it's like facing a great enemy?" The woman slowly turned around, her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, sparkling and dazzling, it was actually Qin Zhi'er.
Yi Tian stopped a zhang away from her and didn't get any closer, saying lightly: "Every time I meet you, my life is in danger once more. How can I not be careful?"
Qin Zier smiled slightly, and the beauty of this Buddhist temple scene was stolen by three points: "It seems that we haven't fought in school before, let alone you have a diamond body that can't be broken, how can my life be decided by a little girl like me?"
"The terrible formation in the Temple of Return seems to indicate that you are a habitual liar." Yi Tianxing did not believe her, "A cultivator's first priority is to cultivate their heart, I don't understand how with your cultivation state, you could do such despicable things."
If you can't beat her, then you must scold her into submission.
...but the other side didn't scold back.
Qin Zier's face calmed down, and she slowly sighed: "Everyone has a knot that cannot be untied, please forgive me."
"Whatever." Yi Tianxing knew that his cultivation had improved again on Mount Wudang, but the beautiful woman in front of him was not someone he could handle. Since he couldn't take her down, he might as well be carefree: "Why are you back in the provincial city again?"
"I'll go back to the mountain to recover from my injuries, and once I'm healed, I'll naturally return."
"So it seems that your private actions have caused the death of twenty or so disciples of Jixiangtian, and yet as the master's own daughter, you're not affected in the least?" Yi Tianxing sneered.
Qin Zier let out another sigh: "My punishment will naturally be received later. The senior brothers of the Hao Ran Tian are about to come and take over the central affairs, and my visit this time is also a private action."
"Come back and see me, what's up?" Yi Tian Xing's eyebrows slightly wrinkled, without his usual smooth talk.
Qin Zier's face was as cold as ice, but upon hearing these words, a flush of red appeared on her cheeks for an instant before disappearing. Fortunately, Yi Tianxing didn't notice it, or else who knows how many more problems would have arisen.
"On Mount Wudang, I deceived you once. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I owe you an apology, so today I've come especially to remind you of something."
"What's going on?" Yi Tianxing pretended to be absent-minded, listening while gazing at the moss growing on the surface of the Buddhist pagoda, thinking that this tower was a bit too old.
"You are in great danger now." Qin Zier looked at him, her eyes shining with a bright and piercing light.
"What danger?" Yi Tianxing's heart skipped a beat.
"After returning to the provincial city, I heard from Bamboo Uncle about what you've been doing recently." Qin Ziyue's tone carried a hint of reproach, "You're being too ostentatious, this isn't the demeanor a cultivator should have."
Yi Tian Xing snorted: "I'm not a person of your Three Heavens, your sect rules don't apply to me."
"It's not a rule." Qin Zier shook her head and said slowly, "Don't you find it strange? Why are those underworld people suddenly so interested in the Gu family? Whether you admit it or not, you're a cultivator after all, and...” The young lady hesitated before continuing, “and cultivators can't harm ordinary people just because of their cultivation."
"What's with that look? One of my brothers is still lying in the hospital, with a broken leg!" Yi Tianxing asked her, somewhat angrily.
Qin Zier sighed and said, "Regardless of whether Zong Si is dead or alive, he has already been expelled from the mountain gate by Jixiang Tian. If he is found inside the door in the future, he will naturally be punished according to the rules."
Yi Tianxing hummed and found himself at a loss for words.
Qin Zier said, "You may not understand the consequences of abusing one's cultivation powers." She looked quietly at the young man in front of her, "A cultivator who abuses their magical powers and disrupts social order will invite the wrath of the heavens."
"What's with the 'Hao Ran Tian'?" Yi Tian Xing slightly furrowed his brow, jokingly saying: "Ji Xiang Tian refines equipment, Hao Ran Tian enters the world. Is this Hao Ran Tian not just a department that interferes with others' business?"
Qin Zier smiled slightly: "If my brother knew someone was describing their great mission to save the world like this, he would probably be so angry that he would spit blood."
"How does his skill compare to yours?" Yitian Xing asked out of pure curiosity.
"As for insight, he's not as good as me." Qin Zier said with a lowered brow.
Yi Tianxing also sincerely said, "Qin girl is indeed frank with me, I believe this is the truth. In the past few days, after several exchanges with the girl, I realized that the girl's mind is clear and bright, and it is really beyond my reach. If someone says that there is anyone who has a deeper understanding of Taoism than the girl, I would not believe it." Although he said he couldn't keep up even if he were to flatter her, he also gently patted the horse's buttocks.
Qin Zier raised her head and smiled with a different meaning: "But if we compare our magical powers, I am far inferior to him."
After saying this, she ignored the speechless Yi Tianxing and walked towards the railing of the pagoda. She touched the green stone gap on the railing and said in a low voice: "I'm telling you seriously, be more careful in the provincial city in the future. Don't do things like the other day that might expose your identity. If you really provoke Haoran Tiandong to take action, even if you have great talent, you won't be able to escape this disaster."
Yitian Xing fell silent for a moment before suddenly sighing and asking: "Are you tired?"
Qin Zier's eyes flashed with a hint of puzzlement and incomprehension.
Yitianxing smiled nervously and turned to look at the stone steps of Bao Tong Chan Temple, closing his eyes for a long time before saying with exhaustion: "I'm very tired, very annoyed."
"It's obvious." Qin Zier smiled, and the elegant smile made Yi Tianxing feel a bit better. "You were just an ordinary student before, but now you're suddenly facing so many complicated people and things. It's not normal if you're not tired." She paused and sighed again: "What you did in the provincial city those days was too impulsive."
Yi Tian Xing sneered, "Violent and tyrannical? I know that too. But who is gentle with me? I actually quite like those bald monks, but they're not telling me what's on their minds. You Daoists are probably hoping for my death. I acknowledged a master, only to discover he has ulterior motives. Half a year ago, I was just a poor student picking up scraps in the county town of Gao Yang. Half a year later, and I'm being bothered by so many inexplicable things." As he thought about these frustrating days, his mood became agitated, and his voice gradually rose: "Do you know? Sometimes at night, I'm just an ordinary student at school... Chapter 115 is just a formality, so of course I agreed."
"I'll pass on to you the Three Stars Seven Dippers Method, listen carefully." Qin Ziyu gazed into his eyes, a strand of black silk dancing in the wind.
……
……
After an unknown period of time, Yi Tianxing woke up from his meditation.
"Will you be back at school soon?"
"I originally thought of going to the Guiyuan Temple to take a look, but later on, I thought that if they were willing to tell me, they would naturally tell me, and I didn't need to ask." Yi Tianxing said lightly, turning his face to look at the person beside him who was as cold as ice and snow: "Qin girl, are you going back to school?"
"Do you still remember my name?" Qin Zier asked with a smile.
"I remember." Yi Tianxing also smiled, "A very lovely name, Qin Zier."
"Qin Zier is going back to school now, want to walk with me?"
"It's very quiet in Baotong Zen Temple, I like it, I want to stay a bit longer."
Qin Zier paused and said: "Okay, bus 254 just passed by the entrance of the temple and is heading towards Shengda."
"Are you taking a bus? One trick and we'll be there," said Yi Tianxing.
Qin Zier shook her head and smiled: "Living in the mountains since childhood, living a life of cultivation that is different from ordinary people, it's not easy to come to the provincial city, I don't want to give up these worldly affairs." After saying this, she walked towards the stairs, and stopped again at the entrance, saying: "We all want to live an ordinary life, perhaps that's where you and I are most alike."
Yi Tian Xing was taken aback for a moment.
Qin Zier walked down the steps, stopping for a moment in front of the white wall on the first floor of the pagoda, looking at something, then slowly walking out of the Baotong Zen Temple. A moment later, Yi Tianxing also came down from the pagoda, watching Qin Zier's slightly lonely back disappear outside the mountain gate, and couldn't help but put his hands together in a Buddhist greeting, silently reciting: "People come and go without gathering, sorry."
On the white wall behind him, the words he had previously carved with Heavenly Fire were strikingly clear.
"Lailai, wait for me to marry you."
