Knock, knock, knock ~ Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
White Lotus opened the door, and the first thing she saw was a pair of white eyes.
She blinked her eyes and struggled out of the whiteness. "What can I do for you, Second Elder?"
"Can't I come to greet the Holy Maiden?" The Second Elder smiled. The smile on his aged face should have been benevolent, but because only the whites of his eyes remained, it looked extremely evil. "The Holy Maiden's cultivation has improved quite a bit. It is truly a blessing for my White Bone Path."
"Not at all. Elder, you are the white jade pillar that supports the sky and the purple gold beam that supports the sea. "
"Hahaha. Aren't you going to let me in? "
"This …" White Lotus looked embarrassed. "I'm a girl after all. Isn't it inconvenient?"
"I've watched the Holy Maiden grow up. You're like my daughter. What's inconvenient about it?" The Second Elder said and squeezed into the room.
He looked around and pretended to ask casually, "Why is the Holy Maiden wearing a veil in her room in the Church?"
White Lotus blinked. "I'm a natural beauty. I have to hide my strength and bide my time."
"Hahahaha …" The Second Elder laughed and suddenly stopped. "Ouyang is back. I can smell his scent."
"This is a good thing! It's not in vain that we sacrificed so many spies to cover for him. Why hasn't the Great Elder shown up yet? "
"Who can guess what he's thinking?"
"If you can't guess it, I don't know either."
"You don't know, or you don't want to know?"
"I don't need to know." White Lotus smiled. "The Elders still have to make the decision for the sect's important matters. I'll wait for the news. "
The Second Elder looked at her deeply, then got up and walked out.
Before stepping out of the door, he suddenly stopped. "Why is the Holy Maiden so easy to talk to today?"
White Lotus chuckled. "Look at what you're saying. When was she easy to talk to? Even if she occasionally has a temper, isn't it for the sect's important matters? "
The Second Elder finally left, and the pressure that shrouded the room seemed to be separated by the door.
…
"Perhaps this is the final test."
White Lotus whispered.
She sat quietly for a while, making sure that no one would disturb her. Only then did he put down a formation disk, pulled open the wardrobe, took out Jiang Wang, whose eyes were tightly shut, and threw him onto the bed.
At this time, Jiang Wang's five senses were sealed. Only in this way could he avoid the pair of white eyes.
White Lotus made a hand seal to undo the seal on her five senses.
Jiang Wang suddenly stood up and looked at White Lotus. He pressed his hand on his sword and said nothing.
Although his five senses were sealed and he couldn't hear the conversation between White Lotus and the Second Elder, he cleared his five senses and calmed his heart, thinking about what happened today.
"What do you want to ask? Go ahead." White Lotus walked to the table and sat down.
"You saved me again." Jiang Wang's voice sounded a little strained.
White Lotus smiled. "It's not worth mentioning."
"This is the lair of the White Bone Path. Are you a member of the White Bone Path?" Jiang Wang asked.
"We're all members of the Daoist sect," White Lotus said.
Knowing that it was meaningless to argue with her about whether the White Bone Path belonged to the orthodox Daoist sect, Jiang Wang repeated, "I'm only asking you, are you a member of the White Bone Path?"
"It's not me." White Lotus pointed at Jiang Wang. "It's us."
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't want to tell you so soon, because your 'transformation' hasn't been completed yet." White Lotus sighed and asked, "But since you've appeared here today, you won't give up until you get an answer, right?"
Jiang Wang didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked, "So Fang Heling coming to Ox-Head Mountain today was a trap? Against whom? "
"The White Bone Envoy's chess piece isn't against anyone. It's just that no matter who followed Fang Heling tonight, they'll die here. In any case, we're about to give up on this place. You and that hidden sentry from the Narcotics Department just happened to be here at the right time. "
The White Bone Path would leave Ox-Head Mountain very soon.
Jiang Wang keenly grasped this information, but he put it aside. Instead, he asked, "What do you mean by 'transformation'? What do you mean by 'you' and 'us'? "
"The White Bone Lotus on your back, the Flesh Soul Return that you suddenly grasped … aren't these enough for you to connect the dots?"
"You've always understood me very well. Perhaps these are all part of your plan. The White Bone Lotus might have been tattooed on by you when I was unconscious, and the Flesh Soul Return might have been imparted to me through some method … I can't be related to the White Bone Path! "
"I don't have the ability to modify memories." White Lotus suddenly laughed. "However, I've always been paying attention to you. When you were still a beggar …"
Jiang Wang was shocked!
In order to escape Fang Pengju's pursuit, he had turned into a beggar and lived an ignoble existence in the Anatta Temple. That was before he had even opened his meridians. White Lotus had been observing him since then?
White Lotus quickly explained, "When you beggars settled down in the Anatta Temple, it was under our guidance that you made your choice."
Her voice was faint. "The Anatta Temple is a very meaningful place. It's also the place chosen by Her Eminence. When Zuo Guanglie died in battle, I was curious. So many beggars died, but why didn't you die? Was it just a coincidence?
Why did your cultivation progress so quickly after you returned to the Dao Academy?
You must've noticed it too, right?
After opening your meridians, your cultivation speed surpassed that of ordinary people.
Most importantly, you could devour the White Bone Dao Seed, perfectly adapt to the White Bone Path's secret techniques, and know the Flesh Soul Return! You're not ordinary, you're the White Bone Daoist! "
White Lotus concluded, "I only understood later that your appearance in the Anatta Temple was Her Eminence's arrangement."
"No, that's not right!" Jiang Wang shook his head. He believed that his cultivation came from the Great Illusionary Land, and had nothing to do with the White Bone Daoist. However, the Great Illusionary Land was his greatest secret, and he could not use it to defend himself.
"I'm just afraid that you're crying in your heart even though you say you're wrong."
"What Daoist!" Jiang Wang took a step back. "I've said it before, I can't forgive the White Bone Path for what they did. I can't wallow in the mire with you. We're not the same kind of people! "
"That's because you haven't seen the truth of this world. You haven't completely wiped away your hypocrisy, and you haven't found your true self."
"I know very well who I am. I don't need you to remind me." Jiang Wang tried his best to control his emotions so that he could calm down and think.
"What's the White Bone Dao Seed you're talking about?" he asked.
"It's a very precious item. I only have one. It can absorb the nutrients of the host to grow, and in the end, perfectly control the host. I didn't expect you to devour it … So you see, the Dao Seed can't work on Daoists! "
Jiang Wang looked at her coldly. "Have you tried parasitizing me?"
White Lotus had a rare apologetic look in her eyes. "At that time, we weren't familiar with each other …"
"I'm not familiar with you now. You make me feel like a stranger!" Jiang Wang said coldly, "Say no more! I don't believe that I'm some White Bone Daoist. Even if I am, I won't associate myself with you bunch of bastards! "
Although the word "even" expressed his determination, it also showed that he was wavering.
White Lotus was not in a hurry to make a fuss about this point. Instead, she asked, "In the end, you're rearing Direbeasts and disregarding the lives of the people. Or extracting the Water Clan's Dao meridians to refine the Meridian Opening Pill to calculate the beast's heart? "
"Don't try to shake my Dao Heart with your words!" Jiang Wang's voice was resolute, as if he couldn't resist the pressure he was under otherwise.
He tried to calm his breathing to confirm his determination. "White Lotus, since our paths are different, let's part ways. I said that my life was saved by you. You can take it back now. "
White Lotus's eyes were very beautiful. They seemed angry and resentful. She gazed at Jiang Wang with those eyes.
"How can I bear to kill you?" She softened her voice and said softly, "However, as long as you cooperate, I can erase your memories of tonight. It'll be as if nothing happened. When you completely awaken, you'll remember what happened tonight. "
"Are you deceiving yourself?"
"No, it's just that the time isn't right yet."
White Lotus got up and leaned in. Before Jiang Wang could react, she pushed him down on the bed.
"Look into my eyes," she said. "I don't have the magical ability to manipulate memories. I'm only using a secret technique to temporarily seal this small piece of memory. Therefore, you must open your mind and body and cooperate with me with all your strength. If an accident happens, you'll lose your mind, and your soul will scatter. "
Jiang Wang knew that this was the best choice.
Tonight, he had mistakenly entered Ox-Head Mountain and stepped into the den of thieves. He should have died.
White Lotus's various cover-ups had already saved his life. But no matter what, she couldn't let him return to Maplewood City with the secret of the White Bone Path.
And he would rather die than wallow in the mire with the White Bone Path.
Now, he could postpone the choice he had to face, and he didn't have to die.
Jiang Wang completely opened his mind, allowing his consciousness to be drowned by countless lotus petals.
He felt a kind of warmth and tolerance, as well as nostalgia.
Then, in this boundless sea of lotus petals, he saw a lotus bud floating toward him.
It grew taller and taller, until it was parallel to Jiang Wang's line of sight.
Then, the lotus flower bloomed. The center of the bloomed flower wasn't the stamen, nor were there lotus seeds.
Instead … it was a black candle!
