Chapter 278: Reincarnation of the Demon, the Fear of Divine Heart
Chapter 278: Reincarnation of the Demon, the Fear of Divine Heart
As Divine Heart spoke, his gaze sharpened, and he took a step toward You Yingying.
Nine-Fingered Divine Lord quickly grabbed him, scolding, "Are you really that reckless? This woman is from the Star Sea Sect, and this is Sword Venerable Fudao's territory. Don’t be rash!"
Divine Heart replied sternly, "Exorcising demons is the duty of all disciples of the Buddha. How can we neglect our responsibilities out of fear of the strong?"
He immediately tried to shake off Nine-Fingered Divine Lord’s grip.
Nine-Fingered Divine Lord said solemnly, "There are countless demons in the world. This demon hasn’t done any harm yet. How can you act rashly? Don’t forget your mission; there are greater calamities that require your attention."
He felt a headache. Why was this kid so stubborn, even more so than ten thousand years ago?
Although he knew You Yingying had no connection with Sword Venerable Fudao, any conflict here would disrupt the tranquility of the Medicine Valley, which he did not want to see.
Divine Heart frowned, his eyes fixed on You Yingying.
You Yingying seemed to sense something and turned her head to look at Divine Heart.
Their gazes pierced through the vast snow, meeting in the air.
For some reason, just seeing him made You Yingying feel uneasy, even a bit frightened.
She instinctively avoided his gaze and fled.
Even after walking a distance, her fear did not dissipate. She turned her head subconsciously and found Divine Heart still staring at her, which scared her so much that she quickened her pace.
She hurried away, her mind in a daze, until she bumped into someone and snapped back to reality.
She looked closely and saw that the person she had bumped into was none other than Gu An.
Snowflakes fell heavily, Gu An in his blue robe, fluttered in the wind. He held a mirror, like a folding fan, and the crown on his head reflected a bright light. The golden pattern on his forehead made You Yingying stand there, stunned.
You Yingying felt for the first time that Gu An had such a distinguished aura. If there were true immortals in the world, they would look just like this, she thought.
"What’s wrong with you?" Gu An asked, naturally aware of what had happened but pretending to be oblivious.
You Yingying came to her senses. For some reason, she felt at ease in front of Gu An.
"That monk was staring at me just now," You Yingying complained.
Gu An chuckled, "You fear nothing in heaven or earth, why are you afraid of a monk?"
You Yingying glared, "I don’t know why, but his gaze made me uneasy."
"Uneasy? Could it be that you’ve done something wrong, like stealing his robe?"
"Pfft, do you think I’m a black bear spirit?"
With Gu An’s playful teasing, You Yingying finally relaxed.
Gu An walked toward his pavilion, Blood Demon Great Sage following closely. He gave You Yingying a dismissive glance.
You Yingying immediately got angry and started cursing at Blood Demon Great Sage.
The human and the ox began to bicker, but Gu An had long grown accustomed to it and didn’t bother to intervene.
In the days that followed, Divine Heart stayed at the TaiXuan Gate, probing the impressions of the TaiXuan disciples about Sword Venerable Fudao.
Three days passed quickly.
Divine Heart returned to the Medicine Valley, having learned about Sword Venerable Fudao. He believed that Sword Venerable Fudao was well-versed in righteousness and cared for the people, and would not hinder his exorcism efforts.
Upon arriving at the Medicine Valley, he met Yang Jian and Li Lingtian.
Yang Jian was pulling Li Lingtian out to find a place to practice, though Li Lingtian was reluctant, he didn’t back down verbally.
Seeing the two, Divine Heart’s gaze couldn’t be torn away.
He stepped forward to block Yang Jian’s path.
Yang Jian looked at him, his brows slightly furrowed. Even suppressing his cultivation, his inner aura could not be contained, exuding a proud demeanor.
Li Lingtian, standing beside him, seemed utterly insignificant in comparison.
Li Lingtian sized up Divine Heart and said irritably, "Monk, what do you want?"
Divine Heart said, "Amitabha Buddha, this poor monk sees that the two of you have extraordinary auras and unique bone structures. Why not join the Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect and cultivate the great way?"
Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect?
Before Yang Jian could respond, Li Lingtian had already flared up, "You want us to become monks? Impossible!"
He was the Crown Prince; how could he shave his head and become a monk?
"Monk is just a secular term. Becoming a Buddha is the great way, which is eternal," Divine Heart said calmly.
Li Lingtian scratched his head, feeling that this person was either insane or had something special. He suddenly didn’t dare to provoke him.
In this Medicine Valley, he often encountered great cultivators, so he couldn’t look down on everything.
Yang Jian said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a master and don’t wish to take another. Farewell."
He walked around Divine Heart, heading out of the valley.
Li Lingtian hurried to follow.
Divine Heart watched the two leave, calculating with his fingers, lost in thought.
At the same time.
Far away in the pavilion, Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu stood side by side, admiring the snow scenery.
Ji Xiaoyu, seeing Divine Heart, remarked, "That monk doesn’t seem simple. I wonder if he will bring trouble to Yang Jian."
Although she hadn’t practiced with Yang Jian, she sensed that Yang Jian was no ordinary person.
She had also been curious about how Gu An had made Yang Jian so devoted. After learning that it was due to Gu An’s alchemy, slowly revealing Yang Jian’s potential, she admired Gu An even more.
Perhaps Gu An’s cultivation potential was average, but his character deeply impressed her.
Gu An turned his head and said, "He is a great monk. How could he bring trouble to Jian? If he does, it would be a blessing, wouldn’t it?"
Ji Xiaoyu glanced at him, noticing the smile on his face and feeling that his words were sincere.
The two continued their casual conversation, chatting intermittently.
In the end, Shenxinzi managed to find You Yingying. Initially, You Yingying was very afraid of him, but as he only asked for her opinions on certain matters, she gradually lowered her guard.
Though Gu An’s gaze was not fixed on Shenxinzi, his attention remained on him.
If You Yingying were to be caught by Shenxinzi outside, he would naturally not bother to intervene. However, in the Medicine Valley, that was unacceptable.
Gu An originally thought Shenxinzi would not harm You Yingying, but he was wrong.
When it was deep into the night:
You Yingying was meditating inside the room, her shadow flickering on the wall in the candlelight.
Suddenly, she sensed something and opened her eyes, only to see a figure standing before her, causing her face to pale as she instinctively retreated, only to hit the wall.
“What do you want?” You Yingying asked nervously, her voice loud, clearly hoping others would hear her.
Shenxinzi stood by the bed, looking down at You Yingying with a solemn expression.
“There’s no point in struggling. This poor monk has already cast a barrier, so no one can hear your cries, and you can’t escape,” Shenxinzi said coldly, his eyes filled with a sense of oppression.
You Yingying gritted her teeth and asked, “Who are you? What grudge do you have against me?”
“Amituofo, I have no grudge against you. This poor monk can let you die with clarity. You are the reincarnation of a Heavenly Demon. Once you cultivate to the point of forming a spirit, you will regain your past memories and bring calamity to the world,” Shenxinzi replied.
Upon hearing this, You Yingying’s face changed dramatically, but she did not refute. Instead, she sat on the bed, her expression dazed and desolate.
“So that’s how it is…”
You Yingying muttered to herself, a bitter smile appearing on her face.
She closed her eyes, preparing to accept her fate.
Shenxinzi closed his eyes and raised his right hand, ready to end You Yingying’s life.
Thud!
A hand suddenly pressed on Shenxinzi’s shoulder, causing him to open his eyes abruptly, his Buddhist heart trembling.
This feeling was indescribable, making him inexplicably panic.
He had faced countless powerful demons and even times when he couldn’t win, but he had never experienced such a feeling.
He realized with terror that he couldn’t move, his spiritual power suppressed, unable to be mobilized.
He immediately thought of one person.
Fudao Jianzun!
It was rumored in a book that Fudao Jianzun would pat the shoulder before killing.
He had thought it was just a joke, but it turned out to be true.
“No killing is allowed within the TaiXuan Gate.”
Gu An’s voice reached Shenxinzi’s ears, hoarse and indifferent, conveying an unyielding authority.
Immediately after, Shenxinzi felt the hand on his shoulder disappear, as if a great burden had been lifted.
He let out a long breath, his forehead drenched in cold sweat, unable to maintain his composure.
For a moment there, he truly felt he would die.
He looked at You Yingying again, his expression complex.
“Amituofo!”
Shenxinzi’s voice sounded, followed by the sound of the door opening.
She opened her eyes to see that Shenxinzi was gone.
She thought about his voice just now, as if he was sighing?
But...
You Yingying did not feel relieved to have survived. She remained lost in thought.
Reincarnation of a Heavenly Demon...
She had heard the legend of Heavenly Demons in the Star Sea Sect. No wonder her father refused to teach her cultivation. When he heard she was coming to the TaiXuan Gate, he had been delighted, fearing she would implicate him.
That night, You Yingying leaned against the wall, lost in thought.
The next morning, she tidied up and left the room.
Seeing the Medicine Valley disciples practicing, each with a smile on their face, she felt as if she were in a different world, suddenly feeling a bit envious.
These people, though lacking talent and noble birth, at least had something to look forward to in their future.
But what about her?
Born under an inauspicious star, unloved by her father, avoided by her mother, everyone regarded her as a curse.
You Yingying saw Shenxinzi, who was watching the disciples practice under a tree, lost in thought. Facing her gaze, Shenxinzi did not turn his head.
“Was he reluctant to kill me? Or was he afraid I would dirty his hands?” You Yingying stood there, dazed.
After the morning practice ended and the disciples dispersed, she still stood at the door.
How long had passed?
Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Saint past her courtyard, shouting to her, “Miss You, what are you daydreaming about? If you have nothing to do, go help them shovel snow. Since you live in my Medicine Valley, you should contribute a bit, right?”
You Yingying snapped out of her daze, looking at Gu An with a slightly displeased expression, and subconsciously nodded in agreement.
Gu An’s face showed satisfaction. After giving her a look that said “You’re being reasonable,” he had the Blood Prison Great Saint continue on.
At this moment, You Yingying came to her senses, recalling his smug expression just now. She couldn’t help but stomp her foot and mutter, “To actually have this girl do chores for you!”
Though she was complaining, she wasn’t actually angry.
She suddenly realized that nowhere in the world would accept her, but this Medicine Valley did. She wasn’t as pitiful as she thought.
If worse came to worst, she wouldn’t cultivate for the rest of her life, just living for a few hundred years like Gu An, then dying of old age. As for where she would go in the next life, she couldn’t be bothered to care.
In the next life, she would not be herself again.
