Chapter 104 Precipitation
Guyue Mountain!
There is a Moon-Watching Pavilion on the Moon-Watching Cliff.

This pavilion was built on the edge of a cliff. A corner of the cliff extended out like a hand, holding a small pavilion.

The view of the moon is best here.

Especially on the fifteenth day of every month, the full moon seems to be on the top of the mountain, within reach.

It is neither the fifteenth nor night.

Wu Qianhuan sat alone in the pavilion in a daze, sometimes happy, sometimes angry, and sometimes touching the corner of her lips, her face showing a faint blush.

In just a moment, the smile turned into a sigh.

"If this continues, what will happen?

"With an impure mind, how can one comprehend the profound meaning of Master's magical skills?"

She murmured softly, but indignantly:

"It's all his fault... He's been out for so long, and he hasn't sent back a single word. I don't know if he didn't take my words to heart... Or, does he still want to run away?"

She gritted her teeth and took out a booklet from her arms.

The booklet was not big, but rather thin. On the moon-white cover were four large characters written on it: [Moon-Pointing Mysterious Art].

Since she returned to Qingsong Cave and paid homage to her master with the intention of practicing more advanced martial arts, Master Ye Tan taught her the Fingering the Moon Technique.

Tell her that the Mysterious Art of Fingering the Moon is the foundation of his school.

If one can comprehend the true meaning of it, one can be reborn. I dare not say that I can stand on the top of the world, but as big as the world is, I can go anywhere.

However, this secret book is obscure and difficult to understand. Even with the experience taught by Master Ye Tan, it is not easy to get started.

Master Ye Tan told her that this skill emphasizes meaning rather than form, and relies on enlightenment.

Afterwards, she was asked to come to the Moon-Watching Pavilion for meditation.

I was confused after reading the secret book and had no idea how to practice it, so I just sat here and thought about random things.

But all I could think of was that hateful face.

“I don’t know what happened to me…

"In the past, this guy would have run away, but I was hoping he would come back so I could break his legs.

"But now... every time I think about it, he's the only thing on my mind."

The masked one, the one who was talking, the one who was killing... and also the one who was pressed down by her in the Shili Wangxiang Pavilion, at a loss.

As he thought about it, a smile appeared on his lips again, but it quickly turned into anger:

“It’s simply a demon!!

"Do you still want me to come out and help you in three years?
"If you want to, get out of my mind right now! Come back when I have mastered it."

Wu Qianhuan opened the secret book with hatred and tried hard to read the obscure contents.

Suddenly, a voice came from my ear:
"Sister Wu!"

Wu Qianhuan thought she was hallucinating at first, but then the man shouted twice more, and the voice got closer each time.

Only then did she confirm that she had not heard wrongly.

Looking back, I saw a young man coming along the mountain path.

He walked and shouted, and when he saw himself looking back, he was still waving.

Wu Qianhuan was stunned for a moment, then she started to laugh:
"Brother Zuo? Why are you here?"

She stood up and bowed to the young man.

Senior Brother Zuo is called Zuo Wenchuan, and he is not a disciple of Master Ye Tan.

But he is the disciple of Master Tianyou.

Master Tianyou lives in the neighboring Qianyang Mountain. Wu Qianhuan knows that this master and her own mentor, Master Ye Tan, were once fellow apprentices under the same master in their early years.

Originally, they were not monks, but later, for some unknown reason, one became a monk and the other became a nun.

The two people are obviously senior and junior brothers and sisters, but they haven't seen each other for so many years.

Even if you want to deliver something to the other side, you have to ask your disciples to run errands.

That was why Zuo Wenchuan often came to Solitary Moon Mountain, and Master Ye Tan asked Wu Qianhuan to call him "senior brother".

When it comes to the origin, it makes sense.

"Junior sister, there is no need to be polite."

Zuo Wenchuan was born with a good appearance. Perhaps because he followed Master Tianyou in chanting Buddhist scriptures and reciting Buddhist scriptures, he had an aura that was not tainted by the mundane world.

"Senior Brother Zuo, are you here to give my master something again?"

Wu Qianhuan asked:
"I wonder what was delivered this time?"

"That's not true."

Zuo Wenchuan shook his head:
“I came here this time because I have something to tell you.

"Then, we have to go down the mountain again."

"Going down the mountain?"

Wu Qianhuan was a little surprised. Zuo Wenchuan rarely came down the mountain and seemed to have no interest in the secular world.

Master Ye Tan also praised Zuo Wenchuan for his affinity with Buddhism, which meant that he had wasted time practicing Buddhism under Master Tian You. If he were to worship under the great Buddhist sect, it might not be a bad idea for him to become a Buddhist disciple.

Why do you suddenly want to go down the mountain this time?

I suddenly thought of Chu Qing's face and couldn't help but think of her:

"Could it be that there is a girl that Senior Brother Zuo has fallen in love with?"

Zuo Wenchuan shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Junior sister, please don't tease me. The mortal world is like a wolf and a tiger to me. How dare I get involved in it?
"However, I just heard Uncle Shi mention that Junior Sister's marriage seems to have been settled?"

Wu Qianhuan didn't shy away and nodded with a smile:

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, brother."

Zuo Wenchuan nodded and said:
"That's good. You said before that you wanted to follow your uncle and live a life of seclusion and meditation. I can't help but worry about you.

"You have a bold and unrestrained personality, and you were born to roll around in this turbid world. The ancient Buddha with green lamps is not suitable for you.

"Now that you can give up the idea, I am happy for you."

"Thank you, Brother Zuo."

Wu Qianhuan asked:
"I wonder if you have anything to say to me this time, Senior Brother?"

"This matter is related to Taiyi Sect."

Zuo Wenchuan immediately said in a deep voice:
"There have been rumors in the martial arts world recently that the Earth Scroll that was lost by Taiyi Sect has reappeared in the martial arts world."

"what?"

Wu Qianhuan was stunned. The three volumes of the Unchanging Heavenly Book of Taiyi Sect were too important to Taiyi Sect.

This news must be quickly sent back home so that my father can inform the second brother of the Chu family.

Seeing her anxious, Zuo Wenchuan smiled and said:

“Junior Sister Wu, don’t worry yet. It’s still unknown whether this news is true or not.

"And it involves a lot, not just because of Taiyi Sect... I came down the mountain this time because of this matter."

"Senior Brother Zuo, please tell me slowly."

She took a step back and invited Zuo Wenchuan into the pavilion. The two sat opposite each other, and Zuo Wenchuan slowly said:

“This incident seems to have started a month ago. There was news that the lost Earth Scroll was found by a strange man.

"This man called himself 'Tianji Jushi', and his life story is unknown, but after obtaining the Earth Scroll, he did not return it to Taiyi Sect.

"But I took it for myself..."

"Mr. Tianji?"

Wu Qianhuan frowned. She had been influenced by this since she was a child and knew a lot about the affairs of the martial arts world.

But Mr. Tianji had never heard of it.

She glanced at Zuo Wenchuan:

"Then where did this layman Tianji hide the scroll with the character Earth?"

"I don't know about that..."

Zuo Wenchuan smiled bitterly:
“I came down the mountain this time for this matter.

“The news said that Master Tianji has extraordinary martial arts skills.

"It's just that he lived a solitary life, and people in the martial arts world didn't know much about him. "In his later years, because no one was around, he went astray while practicing martial arts, and wandered around the martial arts world like a madman for several years...

"Finally, by chance, he was rescued and taken care of.

“Perhaps it was because that person took such good care of him that Tianji regained consciousness before his death.

"He gave the man a 'Tianji Order' and told him, 'With this order, you can enter Tianji Valley'. He also said that everything he had gained from his life's travels in the martial arts world was in the valley.

"He has lived half his life in loneliness and half his life alone. Everything in Tianji Valley is a gift to thank the man for taking care of him."

“…Who is that person?”

When Wu Qianhuan heard this, she naturally understood that this person was the key.

Zuo Wenchuan said softly:
"The ancestor of Luochen Villa, 128 miles away, Wen Tianheng!"

"One hundred and twenty-eight miles from Luochen Villa..."

Wu Qianhuan's hands suddenly clenched, she knew that Chu Qing's first stop on this journey would be Luochen Villa.

But if this news about Zuo Wenchuan were to spread, Luochen Villa would probably have become a place of controversy.

She looked up at Zuo Wenchuan:

"Senior Brother Zuo, are we going to Luochen Villa this time?"

"Exactly."

Zuo Wenchuan nodded and said, "This matter is of great importance. It not only involves the Earth Scroll of the Taiyi Sect, but also the treasure and inheritance of this Tianji hermit. People in the martial arts world are moving because of this.

"My master is worried that there might be something else going on, so he asked me to go down the mountain to investigate."

Wu Qianhuan slowly closed her eyes, opened them after a while and said:

"Brother Zuo, this matter is indeed very serious. You are going alone, so remember to be careful."

Zuo Wenchuan smiled very freely:
"Success or failure is all up to fate. Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister."

After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye.

This is the news he wanted to tell you. Before leaving, he had to meet his uncle and this junior sister, and then he could go down the mountain.

Because Wu Qianhuan was in seclusion in the Moon-Watching Pavilion and it was inconvenient to send him out, she bowed to him from a distance in the pavilion.

After Zuo Wenchuan left, she twisted her pretty eyebrows into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

At that moment, her first thought was to go down the mountain and head to Luochen Villa immediately.

But she soon calmed down.

Chu Qing's martial arts skills are far superior to his own.

Even if I went, it would not be of any help to Chu Qing, and I might even become a burden to him.

Wu Qianhuan has been strong-willed since childhood and is unwilling to drag down Chu Qing.

Therefore, what she should do now is definitely not to go down the mountain to cause trouble for Chu Qing, but to practice this Fingering the Moon Profound Art well.

Only after the magical power is perfected can he stand beside Chu Qing and face enemies from all directions together with him.

Calming down her thoughts, she asked someone to bring her pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write a letter home.

Repeat everything Zuo Wenchuan just said.

He checked it three times to make sure everything was in order, then put it in an envelope, sealed it with sealing wax, and asked someone to send it away.

She just looked at the brush in her hand and the rice paper in front of her. After hesitating for a moment, she continued writing on the paper.

But this time, it was not a letter to my family.

But it was written to Chu Qing.

She picked up the pen and started writing. At first she was a little careful with the ink, but gradually she relaxed.

He presented everything that happened to him on Lonely Moon Mountain in a disorganized manner on paper.

At the end, he asked in the letter whether Chu Qing was okay, whether he was in good health, and whether he had made any new achievements in his magical skills.
There are so many things I want to know that they are densely written all over several pages.

All the messy thoughts in my mind slowly settled down during this process.

She stared at these things and suddenly realized.

Although there are many redundant words on paper, it all comes down to two words... Missing you.

But she misses him but cannot see him. Only by strengthening her will and cultivating profound skills can she face the crisis Chu Qing is facing together.

By then, even if she is not as good as Chu Qing, she will not be a burden to him.

Only in this way can I live up to my trip to the master's door and live up to the kindness of my master in teaching me the skills.

Thinking of this, she put down her brush and put away the papers filled with words.

Then he put down the book Fingering the Moon… Perhaps because his cluttered thoughts had lessened a lot, when he looked at it again now, he suddenly felt that the originally obscure and difficult to understand contents had become clearer.

She gradually became absorbed in thought, silent and motionless.

At a corner of the mountain road, Master Ye Tan, dressed in green, looked at Wu Qianhuan in the pavilion with complicated eyes.

After a long time, he said softly:
"Amitabha."

Turn around and leave...

……

……

At night, dark clouds covered the moon and there was no wind.

In a dilapidated house, Chu Qing and his group sat around a fire.

Bian Cheng was turning the wooden stick in his hand with a pancake being baked on it. The gentle little pot next to him was bubbling with water, showing its presence.

Waves of fragrance wafted out from inside.

Mo Duxing did not sit down. He stood in front of the door, pressing the hilt of his sword, staring into the night with a serious expression on his face.

Chu Qing yawned and stared at the fire in a trance.

At noon, they said goodbye to Du Hanyan and others from Yanyu Tower and left Shendao City.

We finally found a place to stay in the evening.

"Jiang Shendao's death was too easy."

Biancheng was baking sesame cakes while muttering:
"Look at what he has done. I have been in the martial arts world for so long and have seen many tragic things, but it is rare to see such a tragic thing as what happened in the Divine Sword Hall.

"We are so tired that we have no place to spend our money. We even want to stay in a hotel but there is no hotel to stay in!

"That's really outrageous."

Chu Qing opened his eyelids and glanced at him, ignoring his complaints.

He is still thinking about some things.

Probably everything that happened in the Divine Sword Hall in recent years has been figured out.

But there were some aspects of the whole thing that concerned him a lot.

What puzzled Chu Qing the most was Dong Xingzhi.

This man literally died at his own hands...twice!
What Chu Qing didn't understand was how on earth he came back to life and caused such trouble?

He suspected that this incident was related to the martial arts that Dong Xingzhi practiced, and the person who was found in Qingxi Village at that time was most likely the instigator.

Unfortunately, this person hid it too well.

Even Wenrou didn't detect the scent of this person.

And yesterday at the World's Top-Ranked Conference, the 'Nine Profound Divine Art' appeared again, which must have been the work of this person.

I'm afraid this news has spread widely now.

I don’t know what kind of storm will arise.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Shendao City.

Today, when they left, those taciturn people who were buried with the corpses finally started to take action.

The ownerless bodies were carried away and buried.

Later, the news they brought back from Biancheng confirmed that what Chu Qing heard last night was indeed true.

In the final analysis, it was all because of a secret order from Luochen Villa.

Because the matter involved the Taiyi Sect, Bian Cheng and Mo Duxing, who were supposed to return to the mountain to report, also followed Chu Qing and Wen Rou to Luochen Villa.
