Chapter 3692
That night's ending was no different from the first time. After the thunderbolt, the woman disappeared. However, this time Fu Zhiwen was careful and used his Divine Sense to follow her. However, the moment his Divine Sense was released, it was immediately destroyed by the thunderbolt. Not only did Fu Zhiwen not find the woman's whereabouts, but he was also injured.
Fu Zhiwen was unwilling to admit defeat. He immediately thought hard and used the runes of the Tian Shu in his chest as a guide to seal the areas near the cave and explore one by one.
Hard work paid off. After nearly half a year of hard work, Fu Zhiwen finally found an area in the depths of the mountain with faint lightning and found the Tian Fa Prison Crystal inside.
Although Fu Zhiwen didn't know what this thing was, his intuition told him that this thing was the woman named You Tan!
Looking at the lightning that would appear from the void above the Heaven Punishment Prison Crystal every once in a while, his heart would ache when the lightning landed inside. He could imagine how his lover would be suffering inside!
Sure enough, on the same day in the second year, the Tian Fa Prison Crystal flashed with dazzling clouds. The binding inscriptions on it broke and turned into strokes. You Tan flew out of the clouds.
Worry Tan looked at Fu Zhiwen and then at the Heaven's Punishment Prison Crystal in front of Fu Zhiwen. She sighed slightly and didn't say another unpleasant word. She held Fu Zhiwen's hand and looked at the crescent moon in the night sky. She told him how much she missed him in the past year. The two of them made love to each other until two hours were up. The inscriptions on the crystal recast and produced a thunderbolt that pulled the woman into it.
The woman didn't mention her origin, let alone what the Tian Fa Prison Crystal was. Fu Zhiwen brought the Tian Fa Prison Crystal back from the foot of the mountain. From then on, he regarded the woman as his wife and told this to his parents.
Of course, Fu Zhiwen's parents didn't agree. They even threatened to expel Fu Zhiwen from the family and exterminate the mountain spirits!
However, just as Fairy Jing had guessed, Fu Zhiwen's parents didn't ask to see the Tian Fa Prison Crystal and the so-called mountain spirit, You Tan.
Fu Zhiwen didn't give in. He took Xiao Rui and the old housekeeper out of the house and made a living alone. In order to help You Tan resist the Sky Thunder in the void, he went to Zhai Xing Lou in the Bronze Pillar Country, met Xiao Hua, and obtained the Thunder Amplification Wood.
"I see!"
Fairy Jing nodded and said, "It seems that this old one has wronged you and You Tan. Your relationship is truly admirable.
Unfortunately, you are a cultivator of the mortal world. Your Confucian cultivation base is not high, and you have also mixed Daoist cultivation methods. It is very difficult for you to marry someone from the Immortal Palace.
Not to mention that this woman … has violated the laws of the Immortal Palace and is a sinner. How can you be with her?
Even if you're sneaking around right now … if you're discovered by the Law Enforcers, you won't be able to keep your lives!
I'm afraid that You Tan also knew this. That's why he decided to … separate from you. He didn't want you to be implicated. "
"Fairy Jing!"
Xiao Hua was a little bewildered. "Didn't you say that the sinners in the Heavenly Punishment Prison Crystal are unable to communicate with the outside world?
Why can this Sorrow Cloud come out for two hours every year? "
"I can't answer Fellow Daoist Xiao's question!" Fairy Jing shook her head. "I've only heard rumors and don't know the truth."
"There might be two possibilities!"
Xiao Hua nodded and said, "The first possibility is that the Heavenly Punishment Prison Crystal has been in there for too long. The Engraved Law Chains inside have already lost some of their effectiveness. That's why Miss You Tan can come out for two hours every year."
"Hehe, this possibility isn't big!"
Fairy Jing said with a smile. "The Engraved Law Chains are made of the Immortal Palace's most authentic Engraved Law Chains. They can absorb the Awe-Inspiring Qi from the Heavenly Lightning. No matter how long it has been, it can still bind the sinners."
"Then it's the second possibility!"
Xiao Hua said with a smile. "The Engraved Law Chains of the Heavenly Punishment Prison Crystal have been tampered with. Every once in a while, it has to be unlocked for two hours to let Miss You Tan come out for a breath of fresh air."
"And under this possibility …" Fairy Jing nodded. "Then Miss You Tan's identity is rather interesting!"
"Indeed!"
Xiao Hua looked at Fu Zhiwen. "That Miss You Tan is most likely a member of the Immortal Palace's inner family. She has committed a great crime. Although there is the punishment of the Immortal Palace, there is still someone who can reach out and block some of it for her …"
"Inner family? Impossible!" Fairy Jing said with a smile. "How could the Empress' bloodline be so carelessly left in the Hidden Immortal Continent?
I'm afraid she has some relationship with the inner family … a female official, or a side branch of the Empress … However, judging from this woman's scheming, it's more likely that she's a female official. "
"Scheming?"
Xiao Hua was slightly taken aback. Soon after, he understood a little. Disregarding everything else, this woman had been with Fu Zhiwen for so many years without revealing any of her background. It was impossible for an ordinary woman to do that.
"It doesn't matter who she is!"
Fu Zhiwen didn't care. He smiled and said, "Since this junior believes that she is my wife, this junior will stay with her for a lifetime."
"A lifetime?
That's your lifetime! "
Fairy Jing sneered. "Even if you turn into a skeleton, that woman will still live well. Unless … you can cultivate to the ninth grade of essence energy!!!"
"To be able to have such a wife, this junior is already satisfied." Fu Zhiwen seemed to have steeled his heart. He turned a deaf ear to Fairy Jing's reminder.
"Forget it. Either way, it's your own matter!" Xiao Hua smiled. "You can decide for yourself."
"Two seniors came at the right time. In a dozen or so days, Worried Tan will come out. If two seniors are willing, this junior would like to invite seniors to see her."
Fu Zhiwen thought for a moment and asked with an earnest expression, "Aside from the old housekeeper, no one has seen her yet."
"No need!" Fairy Jing refused very simply. "This old one has other matters to attend to with Fellow Daoist Xiao."
Xiao Hua faced Fu Zhiwen's earnest gaze and said to Fairy Jing, "Since we're already here, why don't you wait for a few more days?"
Fairy Jing didn't know which heartstring had been touched. She shook her head and said, "This concubine doesn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble.
Of course, if Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to stay, this concubine will go there myself. "
Fairy Jing got up and walked out of the wooden house.
Xiao Hua frowned. He felt that Fairy Jing's appearance today was different from before. He nodded to Fu Zhiwen and followed her out.
Fairy Jing stood in front of the mountain and looked at the golden desert in the distance. She said from the bottom of her heart, "Xiao Hua, everything about you is good, except for one thing!
Your heart is too soft!
Previously, at the Jade Pavilion Banquet, I saw that you killed decisively. You were the image of an ambitious and ruthless person. That was why I admired you. But along the way … I discovered that what I saw was far from what I imagined. A person like you … Not to mention Xun Kong, even if it was Zhang Daoran … you might not be able to compare.
Forget it, let's not talk about this!
If you don't want to go, I won't force you. From today onwards, you and I … will go our separate ways and be strangers!
Oh, before I leave, I'll give you a word of advice. The Immortal Palace … The reason it's called the Immortal Palace is because it's the representative of Confucian cultivators for millions or even tens of millions of years. It's far from what our declining Daoist sects can compare to! "
Xiao Hua frowned and said with a bitter smile, "Fairy Jing, how long is the journey from where you want to go?"
"Two days!" Fairy Jing's expression didn't change as she faintly replied.
"How about this!"
Xiao Hua thought for a moment and said, "I can't be someone who doesn't keep his word. I'll accompany Fairy Jing to that place first and then come back."
"Hehe … Actually, since we're already here, whether you go or not … It doesn't matter!" Fairy Jing's misty eyes became even more hazy.
"Let's go!" Xiao Hua said to Fu Zhiwen in the wooden house and then flew into the air.
Fairy Jing didn't say anything. She didn't wait for Fu Zhiwen to fly out of the wooden house and flew away!
One day later, in the depths of the desert, a strange mountain stood out in the dusk.
The mountain was oval in shape and split in the middle. There was a dangerous path leading from the yellow sand to the top of the mountain.
At this moment, aside from Fairy Jing and Xiao Hua who flew to the mountain and stood in the air, there was a man and woman who were struggling to climb the only path.
Seeing Fairy Jing stop, Xiao Hua was a bit puzzled. The man and woman weren't cultivators, but they were quite agile and had a foundation in climbing. They should be using a light body cultivation technique.
Even so, the almost straight up mountain path was too difficult for the two of them. Although the two of them did not help each other at the beginning of the climb, when they were halfway up the mountain, the woman was surrounded by danger several times, and the man beside her could not help but lend a helping hand.
In the end, when the man was in danger, the woman risked her life to save him. When the two of them escaped danger, what surprised Xiao Hua was that the two of them actually held hands and returned from the middle of the mountain. They didn't forget to climb to the top of the mountain.
Fairy Jing also stood in the air and stared at the man and woman. She waited until the two of them landed on the ground, then rode two horses at the foot of the mountain and left. Only then did she faintly say, "Xiao Hua, what do you think this mountain peak looks like?"
"A circle!" Xiao Hua was stunned. He thought for a moment and replied, "Two semicircles."
"In fact, this is a heart, a broken heart!" As Fairy Jing spoke, the corners of her eyes became moist. "Did you see those two?
They were a couple. Although I don't know them, I know that they … must have been trapped by love and reached a desperate situation to come to Heartbreak Mountain!
The reason why Heartbreak Mountain is in such a remote desert and has such a difficult path is because of the Unruffled Love Water. Anyone who drinks the Unruffled Love Water will forget the person they love the most!
There is love in the heavens and love in the world. Although there is Unruffled Love Water in this world, there is no lack of lovers.
Heartbreak Mountain was such a desolate place. It was meant to make people think carefully on their way here from the noisy mortal world. Did they need to forget their true love? Did they need to drink a mouthful of Water of Forgetfulness?!
The path of Heartbreak Mountain is so difficult to pass. It is also a test to see if people are willing to use life and death to erase the scar in their hearts!
The couple just now must have passed the test and couldn't bear to part with each other, so they gave up their earlier impulse and reconciled! "
