Chapter 175: The Tribulation of the Mortal World, Even if You Don’t Die, You Will Lose a Layer of Sk
Return home from school.
You Huang could not avoid being criticized, but she was not forced to change her pen name.
After dinner, she happily returned to Wangshu Tower. Thinking that Murong Xuan asked her for a new vest today, she had to go back and read some books.
After washing up and sending everyone away, Youhuang sat at the desk reading a book. Suddenly, a familiar scent hit him. He looked up and saw a familiar figure.
"It's a dark and windy night. Xue Zun is here to visit. Is he trying to trick me into digging graves again?"
"Nothing, just came to see you."
Xue Zun put a copy of the Minbao on the table: "Why did you choose such a pen name?"
He just returned to Tianji Pavilion today. Everyone was reading the "Minbao". When Guan Fengming saw him coming back, he immediately said, "It's just right that you're back. Go and persuade Chu Youhuang to change his pen name."
"What pen name?" Xue Zun asked puzzledly at the time.
It's only been a few days since he left, and the little girl has come up with something new to play with.
Bian Chen stepped forward and saluted, saying, "The Imperial Court Bookstore has published a newspaper called 'Min Bao'. Everyone can submit their works, and those that are selected will appear in the 'Min Bao'. Chu Youhuang wrote a storybook called 'The Investiture of the Gods', which was published in every issue of the 'Min Bao'. The content is good, but he gave himself a very ugly pen name."
"What pen name caused public outrage?" Xue Zun asked curiously.
"See for yourself."
Taking the "Minbao" from Guan Fengming, Xue Zun glanced at the author column of "The Investiture of the Gods" and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
"How's it going? Isn't it a surprise?"
Even Guangbai couldn't help but come over and tease him when he saw his out-of-control expression.
You Huang understood the whole story and was stunned for a moment before saying, "The pen name is just a code name and does not represent me. Just think of it as me missing the old Taoist nun."
"If you think it doesn't sound good, Mr. Murong from the Palace School asked me to submit my poems under another pen name. I hope you can help me think of one." You Huang was worried and just happened to push the problem to Xue Zun.
Thinking of the message from his senior brother, Xue Zun thought for a moment and said, "You also said that a pen name is just a code name and does not represent the real person. You can choose one yourself."
It turned out that just as he left Xuexuan Sect, someone came to visit him. When he thought of this, the scene in the Shape-shifting Pearl reappeared in his mind:
"Master, Fairy Changle from the Shengyin Sect and Fairy Yuanxiang from the Baihua Sect wish to see Uncle Master Xuezun."
"Tell them that we are too late and the people have left." Lu Shutong replied unhappily.
I never thought that when my junior brother first entered the world of immortal cultivation, he left behind a romantic debt in order to overcome the emotional barrier. Thousands of years later, someone would still come to collect the debt.
"Master, I just said the same thing, but the two fairies refused to leave. They also said..." The disciple hesitated and said, "They want to stay in Jueqing Peak for a long time. They won't leave until they see Master Xuezun."
"Live at Jueqing Peak for a long time..."
Lu Shutong smiled sarcastically: "Just let them go."
If it was so easy to climb up Jueqing Peak, how come my junior brother has been living alone on the peak for hundreds of years?
There were two female cultivators standing outside the mountain gate of Xuexuan Sect. One had jade-like skin, a painted face, a slender waist, green hair and a low voice, with the noble temperament of an ancient immortal who was not tainted by the mundane world. The other had red makeup and light black eyebrows, and was icy and otherworldly, graceful and light as frost flowers.
The two were love rivals who were extremely jealous of each other when they met. In order to avoid losing their composure and fighting, they stood on both sides of the mountain gate, with their backs to each other and not speaking.
It was not until a disciple appeared that the two turned around and waited eagerly for the person to say something.
"Two fairies, the master said that you two are a step too late. Xue Zun has already left the sect. The two fairies should go back."
While replying, the disciple secretly observed the expressions of the two fairies. When they heard that Xue Zun had left, their expressions instantly dimmed, like flowers that have lost their moisture.
"The master also asked me to tell you two..." The disciple hesitated and said, "Xue Zun has long since washed away all worldly ties and let go of the past. He hopes that the two fairies can also let go of the past and live their lives well."
"Just live your life well, he said it so lightly."
Fairy Changle said with a flute: "I don't believe it. I will go to Jueqing Peak to ask him why he refused to meet me."
Compared to Changle's domineering attitude, Fairy Yuanxiang was much calmer and said calmly, "I will soon be in a state of retreat to strive for the Golden Core Stage. If I succeed, we will have a chance to see each other again. If I fail, this will be the last time we meet."
"The headmaster said that if the two fairies don't believe it, just go to Jueqing Peak by yourselves."
"We'll go up, of course."
Fairy Changle walked into the gate first, and Fairy Yuanxiang followed closely behind.
Looking at the backs of the two people, the disciple felt extremely depressed. Xue Zun has been wearing a mask since he joined the sect. Why are there still so many fairies crazy about him?
The disciple couldn't help but ask the old man guarding the mountain gate: "Old senior, Snow Lord has never even shown his face, how come so many fairies are crazy about him, and two Jindan stage cultivators even risked their lives to see him."
"Xue Zun walked through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on him, but..."
The old man looked up at the mountain peaks towering into the clouds and said, "Flowers and leaves are not heartless things. How can they lose their feelings just because he is heartless?"
After hearing this, the disciple seemed to understand and said, "No wonder others say: Once you enter the Jueqing Peak, everything is empty... If you cultivate to become an immortal but lose your emotions, how can you care about the people?"
"If you can comprehend it, you are already at Jueqing Peak." The old man waved the broom in his hand and said, "Get out of the way, don't hinder me from sweeping the floor."
"I just heard the headmaster say that Xue Zun accepted a disciple, and this time I am going to help that disciple to overcome the tribulation..." The disciple became even more depressed when he said, "How can he overcome the tribulation before he officially joins the sect? Is it because his cultivation is very high?"
“It’s the calamity of the mortal world.”
The old man answered slowly.
The disciple was startled and sighed, "The calamity of the mortal world, even if you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin."
The tribulation of the mortal world is one that every cultivator must go through. There are too many fetters in this world that cannot be severed just by wishing to.
"Senior, senior..."
Youhuang's call interrupted Xue Zun's thoughts.
Xue Zun came back to his senses, looked at You Huang and asked hesitantly: "If there are some people you consider as good friends, but they still have a crush on you, how can you make them give up their obsession?"
"Have they expressed their feelings to you?" You Huang thought for a moment and asked back.
"Not really..."
As soon as Xue Zun finished speaking, he heard Ting Youhuang's smug laughter. He knew that he had let the cat out of the bag, but he looked unconcerned.
You Huang thought for a moment and said, "Since they haven't expressed their feelings, you should just pretend you don't know, because often times when they say something, either lovers end up together or they can't even be friends anymore."
"But if I don't explain it clearly, they will never be able to let it go. I will feel bad watching them waste their time. Do you want to persuade them..."
"Don't try to persuade me."
Youhuang immediately denied Xue Zun's idea.
After thinking it over again and again, he said, "There is no solution to the word love. It is useless to persuade those who are deeply in love."
"so what should I do now?"
"Take your time, time will dilute everything."
