The young girl was Shui Yue Nunnery's Guo Dong.
It was said that she was the personal disciple of Lian Sanyue.
For some reason, she didn't participate in the Cultivation tournament of the Plum Meeting this year, but came to White Town to see the Buddha.
It was unknown why the voice would say such a thing.
So it's you? What is the original meaning of this? Could it be that she wasn't herself?
Guo Dong said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect you to recognize me."
The man said, "Maybe it's because I've been watching you from behind for many years."
I watched from behind for many years because I didn't have the courage nor the qualifications to stand in front of you.
But your back has already been imprinted in the deepest part of my soul, so no matter how your appearance changes, how could I not recognize you?
(I know these two sentences are sour, but after thinking about it, I didn't delete them. Because he's this kind of person …)
…
…
Standing in front of the Buddha statue, Guo Dong fell silent for a long time.
After an unknown period of time, the voice resounded once more, and it was filled with sorrow and sorrow.
"I didn't expect you to choose this path in the end. Is it worth it to make such a huge sacrifice to catch up to him?"
"What about you? Is it worth guarding this place for hundreds of years? "
"As long as I do what I want to do, it doesn't matter if it's worth it or not."
"Me too. The only difference is that until the day you die, you will not be able to prove your success, but I have already proven my failure. "
"So you came to the human world for a walk?"
"Back then, he often said that one must look at the sun after coming to the human world. I don't have much time left, so I also want to look at it." (Hai Zi's poem)
"Oh, that's why I remember you didn't know how to play the zither. Why did you participate in the Plum Meeting? I think even the Golden Zen Master wouldn't dare say anything bad about you."
"No, I didn't attend the Plum Meeting."
"No, you did. If you hadn't lent me a hand at the Plum Meeting that year, I wouldn't have been able to kill that snow worm of the King State with my Cultivation state at that time. "
Guo Dong wasn't used to being mentioned by Jing Jiu in such a grateful tone. She turned around and left the Buddha statue. She came to the doorsill and looked at the snowland.
"Back then, you didn't manage to predict that insect. Could you have made a mistake this time?"
"Why do you care about such trivial matters?"
The Law Tournament was the stage for the geniuses of the younger generation, and it was of course a major event for the cultivation world.
Yet, that person was fully aware that these were trivial matters for Guo Dong.
"Jingyang's disciple is inside. Although I don't like him, I don't want him to die."
"Why don't you like him?"
"Too beautiful."
Guo Dong walked back to the front of the Buddha statue and took out a futon from under the table. She sat on it cross-legged and started resting with her eyes closed.
She seemed to be very familiar with the temple, having been here many times before.
She said nothing more.
The temple was very quiet.
Night fell.
A sigh was heard.
He was filled with gratification.
It was still sad.
Dawn came.
Guo Dong opened her eyes and walked to the front of the doorsill again. She looked at the deep part of the snowland with a slightly grave expression, as she sensed that something was about to happen.
That deep and broken voice rang out behind her.
"She's never been like this."
Shui Yue Nunnery's [Heaven's Will Connection] and Guocheng Temple's [Two Minds Connection] are the world's most powerful means of divining Heaven's secrets.
Yet, Guo Dong was fully aware that nobody in this world had a better understanding of the being in the deep part of the snowland than the person behind her.
"What on earth has happened?"
"I don't know. I sensed irritation, anger, pain … and a bit nervousness in her awareness. I don't understand why such a great being would feel nervous."
…
…
The early morning arrived, and another night had come to an end.
Jing Jiu opened his eyes and rode the iron sword to the highest point of the peak, looking at the distance.
The Snowy Kingdom was on the other side of the mountains.
Suddenly, his Dao Heart was moved slightly.
Looking at the distance, so far that he couldn't even see it, he felt a bit nervous, but he didn't know the source of it.
As far as he was concerned, it was rare for him to feel nervous.
As the sound of something breaking through the air rang out, Bai Zao appeared by his side. The Nanping Bell exuded a faint energy, blocking the cold intent.
"What's wrong?"
In her eyes, the cold mountains were the same as the day before.
Jing Jiu's reply was simple and concise, "Something has happened."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a violent wind rose up.
The cold air traveled through the fields and mountains at an unimaginable speed, making countless ear-piercing whistling sounds.
The ice and snow that had accumulated for tens of thousands of years around the peak were blown away by the strong wind, revealing the black rocks. The temperature in the air suddenly dropped.
In such a severe cold, an ordinary person would be frozen and die in an instant. Even if a cultivator operated the Zhen Yuan, he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.
Bai Zao felt that the cold intent had entered the barrier of the Nanping Bell, so he didn't dare to be careless. He took out a cloak made of fiery golden sparrow and put it on. Feeling the natural warmth in it, he looked a little better.
Jing Jiu glanced at her, making sure that there should be no problem, and then he didn't pay any more attention to her.
Bai Zao looked at the thin white clothes on him, and couldn't help but feel puzzled, wondering if the cultivation method of the Aoyama Sect was so magical.
The ice and snow on the peak continued to fall, and suddenly there was a vibration from the depths.
Bai Zao looked down and saw a scene that was hard to forget.
A snow worm was poking its head out from between the cliffs.
The skin of the snow worm was translucent, and it wouldn't change after it grew up. However, it was extremely tough, and even the flying sword of a cultivator couldn't cut it.
The body of this snow worm was so thick that it could fit into a small house. As it crawled, the sunlight fell on its translucent skin, and the things inside could be vaguely seen — there were stones, branches, and some broken limbs of snow foot monsters. There were also some white bones of unknown animals.
As the most famous monster in the Snowy Country, the snow worm was extremely fast in the holes corroded by its own juices, but it moved relatively slowly in other places. However, it was extremely dangerous, especially its appearance and way of eating, which could easily make people feel disgusted.
Bai Zao felt very disgusted at this moment, but he didn't dare to make any sound.
The snow worm crawled out of the cliff, but it couldn't find a foothold. It swayed around in the cold wind, looking like a maggot growing on rotten meat, but many times larger.
Bai Zao frowned slightly.
Suddenly, the body of the snow worm stopped in the cold wind.
She felt a consciousness fall on her, and she knew that the snow worm had discovered her existence. Zhen Yuan silently channeled her power, ready to fight the enemy with the Nanping Clock.
For some reason, the snow worm ignored her and continued to stretch its body in the air in front of the cliff.
In the end, its body touched the opposite cliff, and it crawled in again.
It wasn't until the tail of the snow worm disappeared into the opposite cliff that Bai Zao was relieved.
This was a high-level snow worm. Even if she had the Nanping Clock, she wouldn't be able to defeat it.
Except during the monster tide, humans rarely saw such a high-level snow worm. Why did it appear here?
Then there were many small sounds in the mountains. Even the howling cold wind couldn't drown them out.
Bai Zao used the Clearwater Discernment to look around. She saw many black shadows in the wind and snow, rushing toward the north at a high speed, as if they were summoned by something.
