Chapter 210 (1/2)

Who were those people? Who did not believe the legend of Son of Yama? Who could let Divine Hall make a sharp turn on att.i.tude? Who could make the Tang Empire suppress the anger and calmly wait? Who could put Great Divine Priest of Light into the dust by saying a word?

A view of a quiet mountain and an old abbey emerged in Li Qingshan's mind. His body suddenly became stiff. Many years ago, when West-Hill Divine Palace had granted him the rank of Great Divine Priest, he had visited that old abbey. It was only once in his life, but it was unforgettable for a lifetime. When he thought of it, he seemed to see that fluttering thin figure beside the cliff, feeling slightly cold all over his body.

Great Divine Priest of Light said, ”I don't know what exactly the abbey dean has thought. I respected him from my heart, but I still stuck to my own ideas.”

Li Qingshan silently looked at his old cheeks. Then Li Qingshan realized it was actually Taoist in indigo who personally had imprisoned Great Divine Priest of Light. Soon he thought of Great Divine Priest of Light was still able to adhere to his own ideas in front of Taoist in indigo and could not help feeling a great sense of admiration.

”Because I insist, I will not give up.”

The l.u.s.ter in the eyes of Great Divine Priest of Light was quiet and deep. He slowly said, ”I have not stopped using both eyes to see the world in these years after being imprisoned in the back of The Peach Mountain. In a certain year, I had once tried it.”

Li Qingshan frowned and said, ”Yan territory murder?”

Great Divine Priest of Light did not give an positive answer, but indifferently said, ”Unfortunately, I still couldn't kill that person. I clearly see that shadow of the night is still floating in the world, sometimes thick or thin, disappearing or appearing from time to time. But in these two years, the shadow became more and more solidified, showing that person became more and more powerful.”

Li Qingshan solemnly asked, ”Who on earth did you see? Is this person in Chang'an City?”

Great Divine Priest of Light gave a very difficult obscure answer. ”My eyes can only see him there, not see his existence. One day I saw him appear in Chang'an City. So I was so anxious to come to Chang'an City.”

Although he said he was anxious, the old man still looked calm on his face, no sense of anxiety at all.

Li Qingshan kept silent for a long time, as if to keep thinking in his heart to judge these words. Eventually he slowly but firmly shook his head and said, ”The legend is just a legend. No one has discovered Underworld from the ancient time to today. Headmaster of Academy has travelled around the world for years. I heard that the abbey dean is also floating in the South. Presumably they are looking for the Underworld. If even the two of them failed to find the Underworld for so many years, then the Underworld inevitably is not a real existence. If there is no Underworld, there is naturally no Yama. Without Yama, there is naturally no Son of Yama.”

Great Divine Priest of Light said, ”Of course there is Underworld, there is naturally Yama.”

Li Qingshan stared at his eyes across the winter wind in the lane and asked, ”Then where is that Underworld?”

Great Divine Priest of Light said quietly, ”I don't know.”

Li Qingshan said, ”Then why are you sure there is Underworld?”

Great Divine Priest of Light replied. ”Because it exists.”

Li Qingshan suddenly felt like he returned to Scent Workshop of many years ago and met the crown prince who was more shameless than himself. Except beating the opposite, there was no way for him to carry on a normal conversation.

Great Divine Priest of Light looked at him and said smilingly, ”There are records of Underworld invasion and Invariant Yama's existence in ”Ming” Handscroll. But they were lost millenary years ago, for that ancestor took ”Ming” Handscroll into the Wilderness. Thus no one has seen it, so it was gradually forgotten and even turned into an unreal legend.”

Li Qingshan frowned and said, ”However, you have never seen 'Ming' Handscroll.”

”I really didn't have the Lucky Chance to see the authentic 'Ming' Handscroll. But you must not forget that both that ancestor and I were Great Divine Priests of Light, and the inheritance of some narratives persisted in an unspeakable way.”

Li Qingshan looked at him and shook his head. He sighed and said, ”G.o.d, have you ever thought that you just gave up all to be against the whole world because of your illusion and an unreal legend?”

Great Divine Priest of Light shook his head and said, ”My Taoist Heart is clear. What you see is what you believe. Then you naturally believe what you have seen. As long as you believe, then the illusion is often real.”

Li Qingshan moved forward one step after a moment of silence. When his gra.s.s shoes fell on the ground, a very light airflow splashed upwards, as if a stone fell into a calm lake causing circles of ripples.

”Only the Haotian can see all the world and all realities by one glance. Although you have a G.o.d t.i.ttle under the sky, you're a human being rather than G.o.d and Haotian.”

The eyesight of Great Divine Priest of Light fell on the top of his right foot moving forward. There was no trace of mood change in his voice. He calmly said, ”Because I am not G.o.d or Haotian, you don't believe me?”

”Yes.”

Li Qingshan's right hand was exposed outside his sleeves and looked very delicate. It was in the air shaking slightly, as if holding a dragon body that was constantly struggling to bounce. And his sword in the sheath behind him uttered a buzz, like a dragon who was about to go out.

”Even if you are G.o.d, there is a G.o.d-stunning Array in Chang'an City.”
