Chapter 480 Astrology (2/2)

However, he still helped to ask, ”what happened?”

One of the servants replied, ”Madam got so mad that she's accidentally beaten her to death. So she told us to find a place to bury her.”

Shen Lian said, ”leave her to me.”

The servant was looking at the imperial guard and the guard did not want to continue saying here to argue, so he said, ”leave her here and we'll deal with it.”

The two servants happily agreed with it since this was not a big deal after all.

As for the maidservant's body, it was being held by the Black Tiger. Although it was not really willing to do so, it had to pretend that it was happy. The Black Tiger had summed up the three criteria to serve its master. First criteria was to obey master's orders, second criteria was to never say no to master's orders, third criteria was to refer to the first two criteria.

Shen Lian was also somehow speechless about the Black Tiger because he could clearly understand what the Black Tiger was thinking about using his ideomotor reflex. He was unsure why this Black Tiger would behave like this.

On their way out of the residence, they reached the surging river edge of Diqiu. That was a spiritual canal which had aggregated Diqiu's spiritual vigor. Its surging flowing water had clearly shown Da Xia's prosperity.

The spiritual canal was also known as Xia Canal.

The imperial guard asked, ”you want to bury her in the Xia Canal?”

Shen Lian said, ”why can't I?”

”You have to be quick. Or else if you're spotted by the people who patrol the city, you'd be in deep trouble,” the imperial guard said softly. He was not hard-hearted. Since he had chosen to take care of this business, he should have done something more. Moreover, there was no difference between them and the maidservant, they were all just servants in the eyes of the noblemen, their existence was insignificant.

Shen Lian's fingertips had come together to produce a wisp of flame. Instantly, it had burnt the maidservant's corpse to ashes. Lastly, it flowed towards the Xia Canal and with the surging force of the Xia Canal's spiritual vibrations, it would wash away everything in the past.

There was a melodious syllable coming out from Shen Lian's mouth and that was the Pure Land Rebirth Mantra. There was a glow on the surface of the canal and wrapped within it was the maidservant's spirits. In the end, it had flown away with the Xia Canal. Perhaps at one moment when she finally took insufficient spiritual vibrations, she could enter reincarnation.

”You actually know how to chant. Did you learn it from Sramana land mortals?” The imperial guard had seen Daoists and monks before. Although he did not understand the Pure Land Rebirth Mantra, he was clear that the Pure Land Rebirth Mantra sounded similar to the chants of the monks.

”I know because I've heard of it before last time. If one day you're going to die, and you can manage to find me, I can help you to chant. This is the Pure Land Rebirth Mantra, it's used to help the dead to cross the death for reborn,” Shen Lian turned around and told the imperial guard with smile.

Instantly, the imperial guard did not want to talk to him anymore.

It was already late at night. The Dynasty School's entrance was very small. It looked like a small wooden house from outside.

However, only those who had actually entered the place would realize that space inside was actually so big. Moreover, the sky above was actually filled with stars, and you could actually have a very clear view of the sky of stars.

Tracks of the stars movement were actually abstruse. Every connection between the stars had given all the stars their fixed tracks to move. Everything was standardized.

Guan Longzi had spent majority of his time and energy to study about astronomy. From this, he was able to understand the legendary astrology which allowed him to see the destiny which ranged from as important as a country's destiny, to as insignificant as a person's destiny.

The future was just like a river, there would be numerous branches in the middle and fork in the road, but where it would flow to was already destined.

From 12 years ago when the Flower of the Other Shore blossomed, it was already destined that a new chapter of this world destiny had been opened. The future could look good but scary as well.
