691 Turning the World Upside Down II (2/2)

”This world is covered with the Qi of Heaven and Earth and it is divided. Maybe because the world is crooked, there are many crooked passages, through which people can reach a place thousands of miles away,” said the Headmaster.

...

Ning Que said, ”Is that the Limitlessness?”

The Headmaster answered, ”Yes, it is. If you can enter the Limitless State, it would be harder for Haotian to kill you. The problem is, you are unable to run all the time because you will be dead tired. So you need to find some other ways.”

”I told you that my only advantage was having lived for a long time. Because of this, my state is so high that I can't find a predecessor to learn from. I have to grope by myself. Fortunately, I did find something to stop it from finding me.”

”I have given up this body and did not to jump out of the Three Realms, staying in the human world. I integrated myself into the world. If Haotian wants to kill me, it has to destroy the whole world. As the rule of the world, if the world is destroyed, Haotian will be devastated as well. Therefore, it has been trying everything to find me, so it can invite me to fight with it in heaven.”

”It is a dangerous way: if it can find a piece of me, it can trace back to me. However, it is the safest way because I am everywhere. If my person doesn't show up, it will never find me.”

Ning Que thought about it for a long time and said, ”I still don't understand, but it sounds pretty good.”

The black horse carriage arrived at the Sishui River.

The willows were green and the houses on the other side looked brand new.

Ning Que and Sangsang sat beside the Headmaster, looking at the view and taking a rest.

The story about Haotian and the Headmaster was over, but there was an important role that had never been mentioned.

Ning Que asked, ”What is Yama?”

The Headmaster said, ”There is no Yama.”

Ning Que was stunned. He turned to his teacher and asked, ”No Yama?”

The Headmaster answered, ”I have been to many places and seen many sceneries. There is no such a place called Underworld. If there is no Underworld, there is no Yama.”

Ning Que was confused. He said, ”How could that happen? Isn't the Underworld about to invade the world? Aren't the Buddha Light Array in the Lanke Temple and the magical weapons that the Buddha left prepared for countering Yama?”

The Headmaster said, ”The Buddha wanted to suppress the one who he considered as Yama. In this sense, his preparations were reasonable, but he never figured out who Yama was.”

Ning Que became more confused. Pointing at Sangsang who was playing with a weaved toy, he asked, ”She is Yama's daughter. If there is no Yama, where did she come from?”

The Headmaster turned around and said with a smile, ”Idiot. Is it that you really don't understand or you just don't want to believe it?”

His smile was gentle and his eyes were calm. Ning Que's heart chilled and his eyelids began to tremble. His legs became weak like willow branches and were about to fall.

Countless sweat drops poured out from every part of his body and drenched his black robe. The Great Spirit inside him was going to collapse because of his mood.

Ning Que felt so bitter in his mouth that he could not say anything.

Looking at Sangsang, the Headmaster rubbed her head and said, ”Don't forget, she was the Daughter of Light before she became Yama's.”

Upon hearing this, Sangsang looked up at him, not knowing what he was talking about.

”In fact, she has been the Daughter of Light all the time.”

The Headmaster patted him on the shoulder and calmly said, ”In other words, she is the Daughter of Haotian. She is the doppelganger of Haotian which means she is Haotian itself.”

Sangsang heard this sentence but she failed to understand it. She was upset and her face turned paler than the cosmetic powder of the Chenjinji Cosmetics Store on her face.

Ning Que's face was paler than hers. He said with a hoarse voice, trembling, ”But they all said she was Yama's daughter.”

The Headmaster said, ”I told you many times. There is no Underworld nor Yama. If you have to find a Yama, it should be Haotian. Haotian is Yama.”

Ning Que put his head between his legs and said, ”It... makes no sense.”

”This is the most simple fact, even a little kid can understand it. In fact, I should have understood it long before, but the reason is just too simple.”

”Absolute brightness, is equivalent to absolute darkness.”

His eyes rested on the azure sky through the willow branches. He praised, ”The great Way makes everything the most simple.”
