Absolute light was absolute darkness. This was a simple truth that many people understood. When Prince Long Qing and Ning Que entered the Second floor of the Academy to compete in climbing the mountain, they had been enlightened by the Headmaster's illusion. How could the Headmaster, who set up the illusion, not understand? But just as he said, the Great Way was simple and invisible.
Ning Que had read the "Ming" Handscroll of the Tomes of Arcane and the notes left by Buddha. He had lived in the Desolate Man's tribe for a long time. He used to be the Son of Yama and Sangsang had always been the Daughter of Yama. He had a deep understanding of Yama. At this time, when he heard the Headmaster's words, he suddenly understood many things that he did not understand when he read the "Ming" Handscroll of the Tomes of Arcane and the Buddha's notes.
During the Desolate Man's ceremony to worship Yama, they called Yama Lord Guang Ming, which was the Lord of Light. There were records of the Immovable Wisdom King in the Buddha's notes and the current Buddhism Sect. In fact, he was the Immovable Yama King.
Ming was Ming.
Yama was Acalanatha.
…
…
But he still did not believe it, or he refused to believe it. He looked back and forth between the Headmaster and Sangsang, and his eyes were full of pain. He said in a hoarse voice, "Haotian has no reason to do so many things. Sometimes it is bright, and sometimes it is dark. Does it have nothing to do, or does it want to play a joke on the human world?"
"God does not play a joke. It does things for a purpose."
The Headmaster looked at him and said, "Haotian has done so many things, made such a big lie, and made such a shocking plan. Other than the need of the Everlasting Night, its main purpose is of course me."
"At that moment in the Wilderness, it successfully made me believe that Sangsang was really the Daughter of Yama and let me inject the power of the human world into her body."
"I told you how to fight against Haotian. I did not jump out of the Three Realms, but went straight to the human world. I integrated myself with the human world. This method is very safe, but also very dangerous."
"But Haotian did not find you."
"I am the human world, and the power of the human world is a part of me. Now a part of me is in Sangsang's body. From that moment on, it has found me. "
The Headmaster looked at Sangsang and said with a smile, "During the journey, it has been looking at me, and I have been looking at it. That's why I can't taste meat, so I took you around the world to look for meat."
Sangsang looked at the shadow of the willow in the Sishui River. Her thin body trembled slightly, and she was confused and uneasy. Then, just like when she first saw the Headmaster lose his temper in the Wilderness, she began to feel sad.
"Actually, I've vaguely sensed a long time ago that my fate and your fate would be intertwined. My body is in the mortal world and my heart is concerned with the affairs of the mortal world, so my perception is not clear enough. Your Eldest Brother's body and mind are pure, so his perception is stronger than mine. "
"So after he came back from the Wilderness that year, he tried to keep a distance between Sangsang and me. However, at that time, he thought that Sangsang was the daughter of Yama. He didn't expect the truth."
"I don't believe in fate, and I don't believe that my fate is destined to be intertwined with hers. But in fact, under the arrangement of Heaven, these things have long been destined."
The Headmaster looked at Ning Que and said, "Eighteen years ago, I saw you coming out of the woodshed at the back of the mountain of the Academy. I also saw her birth. I saw the blood in the woodshed and the dark baby girl in Mrs. Zeng's room. But I didn't know what it meant at that time."
"She became the daughter of Yama in the Lanke Temple, and then you took her to be chased by the human world. I had many opportunities to strike, but I didn't. Now that I think about it, it was because I had already vaguely sensed the direction of fate, so I instinctively wanted to keep a sufficient distance from this matter."
Ning Que asked sadly, "Teacher, why did you choose to strike in the end?"
After a moment of silence, the Headmaster laughed. He spread his hands and said, "I don't know either … Maybe it's because I'm bored of staying in the human world. Subconsciously, I want to see what fate Heaven has arranged for me. So I took advantage of this opportunity to break the barrier in my heart and fight with Heaven?"
"Don't rush to criticize me."
The Headmaster looked at Ning Que and said with a smile, "It's your Youngest Uncle's fault. After a thousand years of cultivation, I have become calm and forbearing enough. But he insisted on going against Heaven with a broken sword. Decades ago, he had already provoked my anger. Cutting the peach blossoms on the Peach Mountain only vented a little bit of my anger. It has accumulated for so long, and eventually it will explode."
Ning Que said with a trembling voice, "This battle … can't be avoided?"
The Headmaster pointed at Sangsang and said, "As I said before, a part of me is in her body. It has always been watching me, and I have always been watching it. It knows where I am, and I know where it is. So I can't refuse its invitation anymore. This battle is inevitable."
Ning Que had been thinking painfully, using all his wisdom and experience to think. Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes brightened. He looked at the Headmaster and said, "No … If Yama is Haotian, why did it let the Everlasting Night come to the human world?"
"I've been thinking about this these days. I've been thinking that Haotian is a farmer working hard on the land in the human world, harvesting crops one after another. No matter how fertile the land is, it needs to rest after many years of planting crops. The Everlasting Night is probably the time to rest. "
The Headmaster said, "There is another possibility. As humans continue to reproduce in the human world, their numbers will increase and their civilization will become more developed. The number of cultivators will increase and the number of powerhouses who can surpass the Five States will also increase. Haotian's food source will be more abundant, but it will also start to fear. When we were eating boiled meat in the Wilderness, I once told you that lions are powerful, but if there are enough bison, they will die."
"Ants are lowly, but if there are enough ants flying in the sky, they can cover the entire sky. Now that I think about it, Buddha said that everyone can become Buddha. Maybe this is the reason."
Ning Que said, "You said earlier that Haotian is afraid that humans will reproduce and become stronger, so it developed in the human world for tens of thousands of years, and when it reaches a certain threshold, it will bring a catastrophe to destroy the world?"
The Headmaster said, "That should be the reason. Of course, this is still just our inference. As for the truth, it seems that I have to ask it face to face."
Ning Que suddenly said, "I understand."
The Headmaster said after a moment of silence, "I understand too."
Ning Que said, "Teacher, you are wrong, and so is Youngest Uncle. Lotus is right."
The Headmaster sighed and said, "Yes, it seems that he is right."
Ning Que asked, "Is it too late?"
"I am already on my way, so there is no time to turn back. Moreover, this is my story. I want to see if my method works. As for how to write the story in the future, it is up to you."
Ning Que said, "I am worried that I am not capable of writing this story."
"There is no Yama, but it can be said that there are many Yama Kings. Haotian is Yama King because it wants to punish humans with the Everlasting Night. I am Yama King because I want to go against Heaven. She is also Yama King because she is Haotian. You are also Yama King because you come from another world. According to you, the widest area of that world is extremely cold. If I can't do it, then you must. "
The Headmaster looked at him and said, "In fact, from the day you started cultivating, you have always had this ability. You can change the world, now or in the future. It is up to you."
Ning Que looked at Sangsang.
The emotions in his eyes were very complicated. No words could describe them. They were strange, familiar, sad, sad, fearful, and struggling.
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
He looked up at the sky that was divided into many areas by the willow branches and asked, "Teacher, are you confident?"
The Headmaster looked up at the sky with him and sighed, "I have never really fought. Where does my confidence come from?"
For countless years, the Headmaster had been thinking about how to defeat Haotian. He had thought of many ways to avoid and think on the academic and spiritual level, but he had never put them into practice.
Sangsang suddenly raised her head and looked up at the sky quietly.
Then she withdrew her gaze, looked at the Headmaster, and said something.
"In fact, I am not confident that I can defeat you."
…
…
Sangsang's feet left the grass by the river.
She floated above the Sishui River. Her short yellow hair suddenly became extremely black and then grew long. It fell on her shoulders like a waterfall and looked like countless rays of light.
Her black pupils turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then merged with the white of her eyes. Then it became faint and almost transparent, and then there was a faint holy light enshrouding it.
Two completely different emotions appeared on Sangsang's face. One was the fear and pain of Sangsang in the human world, and the other was the indifference that appeared on the carriage in the Wilderness.
Absolute indifference, the indifference with divinity that rejected life and joy.
Looking at this scene, Ning Que felt that his heart was suddenly torn into the willow branches by the Sishui River. He cried out in pain, and with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, he reached out to grab her feet.
The Headmaster sighed leisurely and gently waved his sleeves, fixing him on the riverside.
On the quietly flowing surface of the Sishui River, Sangsang's body kept changing. Her thin body gradually became plump, and her black clothes were torn into countless threads, revealing her naked skin.
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and the expression on her face became more and more painful. Her body kept twisting as if she was struggling in a net, and then gradually became still, leaving only indifference.
Her torn clothes slid down like water, revealing her warm and smooth skin.
The thin, ordinary, and sick Sangsang was gone. At this time, Sangsang appeared in the human world as a beautiful naked woman. Whether it was the facial features or the body, they were impeccable and perfect to the extreme.
The perfect body and face, coupled with the holy and indifferent divinity, gave people a feeling of inviolability, as if she was the Haotian Goddess worshiped by some Taoist sects. At this time, the only difference between Sangsang and the Goddess was her skin color. Her skin was still a little dark, as before.
Whether it was Sangsang in the City of Wei or Sangsang in the Old Brush Pen Shop, her body had always been dark.
But her feet were miraculously as white as jade, like two snow lotuses.
Looking at this scene, the Headmaster sighed and said, "Being in the dark, stepping on the light. So that's how it is."
