Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 225 Flower Bone 17

As soon as the Buddha Moyan opened his mouth, he asked Bai Zihua to deal with Hua Qiangu. "I still haven't figured out what Hua Qiangu is. So far, I have only found out that she was born in Hualian Village, which is on the border between Zhou and Shu. Because she was born with the withering of thousands of flower stamens, she was given the name 'Hua Qiangu' to suppress her."

"Not only can she make flowers and plants wither, she is also particularly prone to attracting ghosts. Even though the former head of Shushan, Taoist Qingxu, set a seal for her, he was unable to keep her alive until she was sixteen years old as expected."

"So I think Hua Qiangu's origin must be unusual. Judging from the fact that she made the plants wither, she is probably similar to a demon god."

"Also, there was a young man named Dongfang Yuqing who once appeared beside her. That young man also looked a little weird. He is now serving as an official in Shu State, but I always feel that he is really a little unusual."

"Zihua, two people who have problems but cannot be found guilty are together. You know what this means without me having to explain. Can you guarantee that you will not be ambushed? Even if you can guarantee your own safety, what about Xinxin?"

"Xinxin is a good child. I intend to let her take over your position. But if your master makes any mistakes during the life and death crisis, have you thought about how to arrange for Xinxin?"

When Bai Zihua heard Mo Yan mention Jiang Xinxin, he fell silent for a rare moment.

After a long while, Bai Zihua finally spoke: "Brother, I know you are doing this for my own good, but people always treat life and death as a formidable enemy, but recently I have some new ideas."

"In the final analysis, the tribulation of life and death is a major tribulation in cultivation. It is no different from the tribulation during ordinary advancement. It is the way of heaven testing the cultivator's cultivation and state of mind. As long as the cultivation is deep and the mind is strong, I believe that one will always be able to get through it."

Mo Yan felt that Bai Zihua was too conceited, but he couldn't say that what he said was unreasonable, so he could only leave in anger. But after he returned, he strictly ordered Sheng Xiaomo to keep Hua Qiangu under good care.

"I used to think that Hua Qiangu was quite honest, but recently it seems that this is not the case. She has actually been secretly trying to find out about Changliu's internal affairs!"

"You too, you don't care about anything on weekdays. Don't you care about the safety of Changliu and Zihua?!"

Sheng Xiaomo was humiliated after being scolded by Mo Yan. Although he always felt that Mo Yan was making a fuss over nothing, he also felt that something was wrong with Hua Qiangu. Especially recently, he had discovered that Hua Qiangu sometimes disappeared for a while at night, as if she was going to meet someone. Although he was unwilling to suspect others for no reason, he would not turn a blind eye to such an obvious abnormality.

When Mo Yan heard Sheng Xiaomo say that Hua Qiangu was secretly meeting someone at night, he immediately flew into a rage: "Are you a fool?! Why don't you follow them to find out what's going on? Do you think the demons and monsters are not noisy enough, and we in Changliu are too peaceful?!"

Sheng Xiaomo did not dare to argue that Hua Qiangu might have secretly met with his disciples, so he could only quickly agree to keep an eye on Hua Qiangu, lest Mo Yan would not let him go.

In order to communicate directly with the Heavenly Dao, preparation work was essential. Everyone fasted and bathed seven days in advance, changed into gorgeous clothes early on the day, and presented the prepared offerings one by one. After Jiang Xinxin's soul-pleasing dance, Bai Zihua took Mo Yan and Sheng Xiaomo to start communicating with the Heavenly Dao.

After a lengthy Chinese article of praise, Bai Zihua finally asked the three questions he had prepared long ago, and Tiandao could not wait to answer with three "yes", and also gave Bai Zihua specific operational instructions: activating the Ten Directions Divine Artifacts could not only unlock the Void Cave and release the demon god, but also open up the Void Cave again as a realm of gods.

But to do so, one needs to sacrifice a person, and the other person must be willing to sacrifice himself for the common people, and this person must also have profound cultivation.

When Bai Zihua heard this, he decided to sacrifice himself to open up the divine realm. But when he returned, he felt very reluctant to let Jiang Xinxin go when he saw her sitting next to him and helping him with affairs.

He told himself that he just couldn't bear to part with his only disciple.

But Jiang Xinxin knew that the person that dog Tiandao was talking about was her. Anyway, she had no intention of staying in this world until she died of natural causes. So it would be best to sacrifice herself, take the other rewards from Tiandao, and leave as soon as possible.

However, Jiang Xinxin lived in dire straits in the following days. Even though the ten divine artifacts had not yet been gathered, Bai Zihua was ready to sacrifice himself. He was also prepared to teach Jiang Xinxin everything he had learned before that, so that she could succeed him as the head of Changliu and become the new number one in the fairy world.

Jiang Xinxin had no idea that Bai Zihua had such great ambitions. She was busy like a top every day. It was fine for one, two, three days, but when the time was up, she would make a fuss.

Although she thought so, Jiang Xinxin was still busy for more than half a month before she went to confront Bai Zihua.

"Master, I don't know why you are so strict with me all of a sudden, but cultivating immortality cannot be achieved overnight. If you insist on doing it, it will easily lead to inner demons, Master. You see, my face has become smaller, this won't do."

Bai Zihua looked at his little apprentice who was lying on his desk with her face in her hands. He could see that she had indeed lost a lot of weight. He felt sad and said quickly, "It's all my fault. I was too anxious. I will give you a day off today. Go and play with your friends."

"Thank you, Master!"

Before he finished speaking, the person had disappeared, which made Bai Zihua suddenly feel depressed. However, he just reflected that he was too anxious and did not think there was anything wrong with Jiang Xinxin.

After Jiang Xinxin came down from the Jueqing Palace, she went directly to the Greedy Palace to find Mo Yan. She could see that Mo Yan valued her more than Luo Shiyi, and she also understood that this value was probably because he wanted her to take over as the head of Changliu, but she had already decided to help Tiandao and leave as soon as possible, so she could only let Mo Yan down.

However, what needs to be said must be said, but it is not appropriate to act too close or unruly in front of Moyan.

When Mo Yan heard that Bai Zihua had been forcing Jiang Xinxin to practice recently and had also added many other courses for her, he immediately felt that Bai Zihua was a little strange. He left a group of young disciples and went to the Jueqing Hall.

Mo Yan thought a lot. He directly grabbed Bai Zihua and asked, "Zihua, Xinxin said that you have been very abnormal recently. Did Tiandao give any instructions that day? This is a serious matter. You can't hide it. If something goes wrong, it will not be something we can handle for a long time."

Bai Zihua had no choice but to tell Mo Yan everything that happened that day. After all, Jiang Xinxin was his weak spot. Mo Yan always used Jiang Xinxin as an excuse, but he was fooled every time.

When Bai Zihua said that he would sacrifice himself for the birth of the God Realm in the future, Mo Yan was the first to disagree: "The God Realm was created for the Demon God. The Demon God should be sacrificed to the heaven. How can I let you sacrifice yourself?!"

Bai Zihua was helpless: "Brother, how can you think that anyone can accomplish such a major task as opening up the God Realm? This person must first have a profound cultivation base, and secondly, he must have merits and virtues. In this world, who else can do this except me?"

"Besides, I secretly think that solving the problem of the demon god and the power of the wild is a great act of public virtue. Maybe the heavens will give us another chance of survival in the future."

No matter what Bai Zihua said, Moyan did not agree with Bai Zihua's sacrifice, but it was too early to say anything now, after all, the ten divine artifacts had not yet been collected.
