1055 Tricks Of The Headmaster And His Disciple, Backed By Chang’an (1/2)

One day, a year ago, a spring rain showered the human world. Numerous people saw the giant ark sailed in Divine Flame toward the golden line. She stood at the bow and her green dress swayed in the spring breeze. Flowers bloomed on her dress.

Everyone assumed that she had already left the human world and returned to the Divine Kingdom. But actually she did not. Instead she hid in the north, in the extreme coldness. She did not make it to the Divine Kingdom. Upon opening her eyes and seeing the lush mountains, she realized that she did not make it. Because there should be nothing but light in the Divine Kingdom. This was Min Mountain.

She did not understand why. She made use of the Buddha's chessboard and stayed in it with Ning Que for a thousand years. They experienced the vicissitudes of life and practiced Buddhism for so long. She was eventually able to get rid of the three poisons of attachment, aversion, and obsession, as well as the human energy inside her. But why did she fail to return to the Divine Kingdom?

She stood on Min Mountain and pondered for many days and nights. In the end she realized why — she was the choice of human beings. Therefore her destination was the human world. It might not be the ultimate answer, but it was her only conclusion for the time being.

Having realized this, instead of returning to the Divine Halls of West-Hill, she chose to walk toward the north along the familiar hunting trails on Min Mountain.

She kept walking and passed through countless hunting villages, the Helan Mountain, the Tianqi Mountain, the Icefields and eventually came to the peak in the extremely cold North Wilderness.

Her green dress got thinner through the journey, and the blossoms on the dress withered. She knew exactly what was happening. It was the power of time and she was becoming weak.

She chose to go to the extremely cold north instead of returning to the Divine Halls of West-Hill because she sensed danger and wanted to go somewhere safe. More importantly, she did not want anyone to see her right now.

She was becoming bigger and bloated. She was not plump. She seemed more like a pregnant woman. Yes, she was pregnant. Therefore she did not want to be seen by any human beings.

She was pregnant, with Ning Que's child.

Perhaps she was weakening because of the pregnancy. She was becoming a weak and insignificant human being that she used to look down upon.

A divine figure came to the human world, and was gradually humanized… She had such experiences previously. The Headmaster once charged human energy into her body and took her on a tour to see the charms of the human world. Later on, she was led by Ning Que throughout the human world to taste human emotions. She was humanized throughout those days.

Inside the chessboard, she made use of the Buddha's plan and Ning Que's affections to practice and purify her divine figure, and eventually discharged the human energy. She thought that she would win in the battle against the Headmaster, that she would eventually became indifferent again and return to the Divine Kingdom. However, she was again forced to stay here unexpectedly. She could no longer return to the Divine Kingdom. It was Ning Que's trick — the infant in her matrix!

She stroked her lower abdomen. There was no motherly love or any other emotions on her face. She felt calm, but somewhat uneasy.

She looked at the snow capped mountain far away outside the window and pulled herself out of the memories. When she looked toward the snow covered Thermal Sea not far away, she recalled something else.

It was right here in the snow covered chilling world many years ago, where the Headmaster treated her with peony fish, indulged her in a hot spring and hosted a wedding for her and Ning Que. They celebrated their wedding night while the Headmaster went for a ride on the big black horse, wore nothing and bolted for hundreds of miles in the snow.

The Headmaster was extremely delightful. Perhaps it was because he already predicted her future, and knew that she would probably be pregnant with Ning Que's child and would never return to the Divine Kingdom.

The Headmaster used to say that it was a historical moment for her and Ning Que to celebrate a wedding night. Indeed, now she knew why.

Sangsang turned away from the Thermal Sea and lowered her head. Being forced to stay in the human world twice by the Headmaster and his disciple stunned her.

The Headmaster and his disciple always had their unexpected tricks, shameless, life-giving, silent, yet … earthshaking.

The roaring snow storm suddenly ceased. And the clouds were wiped away by the wind that came from the black sea on the other side of the snow-capped mountains. The stars shone, and the bright moon came out.

Sangsang looked above to the bright moon. Her right hand moved away from her lower abdomen and reached out to the dark sky. She pressed her thumb and index finger against each other.

She tried to crush the bright moon, out of unwillingness to reconcile.

But she could only use her imagination now. That was something only her counterpart in the Divine Kingdom could fulfill. As for her now, she was even afraid to be found by her counterpart in the Divine Kingdom.

Sensing the vague restlessness deep down her psyche, Sangsang became pale and felt cold.

She picked up a piece of fur from the bed and covered herself tightly, especially around her lower abdomen. And she flipped to light the firewood in the fireplace.

She tried to warm herself up, which had nothing to do with the child inside her.

In fact, although she was weakening she still did not need the warmth. Coldness had no influence on her. But she lit the fireplace anyway. She was no longer acting indifferently on the rules like she used to be. It had nothing to do with the fundamental rules of the world. Instead she acted on her instinct, which was exactly a human thing.

There was an oil lamp by the window. She did not need the lamp or the light. It was not helpful at all to light a lamp in the darkness, except for exposing herself to dangers. But she did so despite the dangers. Because the light was indeed very warm.

Perhaps because she used fish oil in the lamp, it generated no smoke or irritation for her eyes. Instead, it smelled nice with the burned fat.

Sangsang suddenly felt hungry. She looked toward outside the window and asked indifferently, ”What took you so long?”

The Wild People had migrated to the south. No one was left throughout tens of thousands of miles in the snow kingdom. Who was she talking to?

Heavy pants were heard from outside the cottage. An indigo dog held a frozen peony fish in his mouth and delivered it to her in a flattering manner.

Perhaps due to the frozen of the Thermal Sea, there were very few peony fish left. The only few alive had been hiding at the bottom of the sea. How could an indigo dog catch a fish down there? It was indeed incredible.

However, it would be much less incredible if one knew that the indigo dog was the awesome indigo lion inside the Buddha's chessboard.

Sangsang took the peony fish, came to the chopping board, and chopped it with bare hands. Despite the dog's flattering, she made her own sauce and started eating by herself. She seemed indifferent at all until she finished the whole fish. She frowned slightly as she found the fish less tasty than it used to be.

It had nothing to do with the fish or the sauce. She chopped it with her hand but did it much better than the Eldest Brother and Ning Que. Then why was it less tasty? Was it because it was not well-cooked?
