The King of Special Warfare Chapter 127

When the treasured places in Fengshui on the bank of West Lake were mentioned, all local people in Lin’an would regard Lonely Mountain, which carried too many stories and had a long history, as the foremost.

But if Mount Qingyun was mentioned, perhaps few local people knew it.

Mount Qingyun was part of the Lonely Mountain and it was a name that had come into being in recent years due to Great Master Wuwei. It occupied about three-tenths of the area of the Lonely Mountain. Surrounded by blue waves all year round, the mountain was luxuriant with flowers and plants. With scattered pavilions, it looked like a garden that combined the beauty of nature and art, natural and beautiful.

On the beauty and marvellousness of the scenery, perhaps Mount Qingyun could not outshine others. But in terms of fate, it could definitely be regarded as a place of the most abundant fate in the whole Jiangzhe Province.

“This place is the way to a bright future. If Mount Qingyun doesn’t fall, the prestige of heaven won’t decline.”

Great Master Wuwei made that remark 20 years ago, but it still circulated in the circle of big shots in Zhongzhou State till now. For many years there were some stupid forces which attempted to obtain Mount Qingyun, but their members died on the way to Mount Qingyun one after another. This happened not because of Mount Qingyun, but because of Qingyun Temple.

This was Great Master Wuwei’s retreat.

Although the great master was wandering in other places all the year round, as a great master of metaphysics, he had acc.u.mulated good connections over the past decades. He was not an Invincible Realm expert, but many Invincible Realm experts were willing to serve him if he wanted to. Therefore, without his permission, other people who wanted to obtain Mount Qingyun couldn’t even go up the mountain, and in most cases, they would die on the way.

Like Lonely Mountain, Mount Qingyun was open to the outside world, but Qingyun Temple, located in its core area, was a no-go zone. With yellow walls and grey tiles, the temple was not large, covering an area of four or five thousand square meters. It was exquisite and compact, but not simple. When the master was out traveling, there were only two disciples in the temple. Without the need for incense, the temple achieved the real transcendence. It only emphasized predestination and causation. For those who didn’t have a predestined relationship with Buddhism, they could not meet the Living Buddha. This sentence was the perfect complement to the temple.

June 9th.

It was rainy on the Lonely Mountain and the raindrops. .h.i.t green leaves.

When it was rainy, the Lonely Mountain was covered by a vast expanse of misty.

Boating on the lake through a vast expanse of misty and drizzle was the most delightful experience in one’s life. Green mountains and rivers looked like a freehand landscape painting made by splashed ink. It was fresh at first glance, but anyone would be intoxicated by it if more attention was paid to it.

In the painting, the G.o.ddess, like a fairy, stood on the bow.

Raindrops fell aslant and blue ripples spread across the lake. In the breeze and morning fog, standing on the bow, the woman seemed to walk on water. Her hair was dancing in the wind, which endowed her peerless charm.

The landscape was infatuated with her.

And even the world was struck by her beauty.

She was indescribably beautiful and striking. It was no exaggeration to say that her beauty could overthrow states and cities.

Flaming Fire loved watching Qin Weibai in this state. It was a simple and pure love that had nothing to do with l.u.s.t and pursuit.

At this moment, Qin Weibai was quiet, but she had a kind of unparalleled charm and looked like the world’s most elegant and ethereal scenery. She was natural and striking, and she gathered all the grace of the world. She was outstandingly beautiful, yet aloof.

Under the rain curtain.

Clear blue water receded.

The lonely boat pulled in to sh.o.r.e gradually.

Flaming Fire instinctively took one step forward, wanting to support Qin Weibai with her hand.

“I am not so weak.”

Qin Weibai chuckled. She walked briskly up the bluestone steps on the bank and up the hill.

She wore an elegant white dress with gold embroidery and a pair of embroidered cloth shoes, with her hair hanging loose about her shoulders. Walking along the mountain path filled with morning mist, she appeared beautiful yet cold, while the green mountain looked enchanting. Everything, be it the mountain, the lake, or the scenery, seemed to detach themselves from the world along with Qin Weibai, staying away from the hubbub.

The air was fresh.

The path was secluded and long.

The beautiful scenery by West Lake gradually appeared underfoot.

Qin Weibai’s beautiful figure moved at a modest pace. She first entered Lonely Mountain and then Mount Qingyun. She looked more detached, as if she was a fairy who stayed away from human life.

“When Tianlan called me, I lied to him that I was still abroad. Moreover, I didn’t see him when I was in Huating. Flaming Fire, do you think he’ll get angry?”

Qin Weibai suddenly said in a soft voice. She seemed to be asking someone else, as well as muttering to herself.

Flaming Fire was obsessively watching the back of her boss. Hearing that, she was suddenly agitated.

Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan again!

The muscles in the corners of Flaming Fire’s eyes pulsed slightly and she said in a stiff tone, “You do it for his own good, boss. He’s leaving today. He must maintain a peaceful mind state.”

Qin Weibai made a noise in agreement and continued to move forward. After she pa.s.sed by, the fragrance of women could be smelled everywhere. “Has he received the medicine?” she asked.

“Yes, of course.”

Flaming Fire nodded and explained simply, “Horsewoman will go with him, and you don’t have to worry, boss.”

Qin Weibai smiled and continued to go up the mountain.

She was still extremely beautiful. However, in Flaming Fire’s perception, her boss—the fairy who was detached from the secular world, suddenly walked into the world of mortals. She changed from a G.o.ddess into a happy little girl.

No, a happy little woman.

Woman…

Flaming Fire was convulsed with agony inwardly. Subconsciously, she pictured Li Tianlan pressing her boss on the bed.

Her heart grew restless, and she felt like gnashing her teeth.

“This son of a b.i.t.c.h has such good fortune. He should have been struck by lightning,” she thought.

Qingyun Temple could be seen from afar in a hazy landscape.

Qin Weibai quickened her pace a little and went straight to the gate of Qingyun Temple.

On either side of the gate, two middle-aged monks in plain robes stood quietly outside. Looking at Qin Weibai coming in a white dress, the two smiled and clasped their hands in a natural and peaceful gesture.

Qin Weibai bent down gently and said, “Pay my respects to two senior brothers.”

“Master is chanting Buddhist scripture inside the temple, please go in.”

The monk on the right side said with a smile. His Dharma name was Ruzhen. The monk on the left was his junior brother Ruye. They were not only brothers of the same master but also twins with identical appearances and figures. They were kind and gentle, though they had never really attained spiritual enlightenment, they almost had the manner of eminent monks.

Qin Weibai asked softly, smiling and nodding, but not moving, “Are you waiting for someone, senior brothers? Will there be a distinguished guest in the temple a while later?”

“It’s Taoist Xuan Xuanzi,” said Ruye slowly.

Unlike his senior brother Ruzhen, his voice was deep and authoritative, and every word was very powerful. “Today, Taoist Xuan Xuanzi will deduce the secrets of heaven and the general trend with our master.”

Deduce the secrets of heaven and the general trend!

Qin Weibai frowned slightly. Metaphysics existed if someone believed it, and it didn’t exist if n.o.body believed it. However, fate really existed. If a man forcibly deduced the secrets of heaven with his fate, he would have to bear the consequences. Great Master Wuwei was nearly eighty years old. Even if Xuan Xuanzi shared the karma of this deduction with him, he may have to pay a heavy price afterwards.

Ruzhen looked at Qin Weibai’s face and sighed, “President Li Huacheng just left yesterday. How can our master refuse the President’s personal request?”

Qin Weibai fell silent.

The President of Zhongzhou State came to Mount Qingyun in person. She knew exactly why he had come here.

A great change was about to happen in the Dark World. She, or Samsara Palace itself, was one of the most important behind-the-scenes instigators. Thus, she knew the reason best.

“Just go in.”

Ruzhen smiled and said again.

Qin Weibai nodded and went straight into the temple gate.

In the very small temple, the Super Master Hall was impressive.

Flaming Fire stood before the hall, not going forward.

Any Super Master must stop in front of the Super Master Hall.

Qin Weibai walked alone through the Super Master Hall into the Mahavira Hall.

There was low, soft chanting echoing through the courtyard, as if it was a voice from the void.

Wearing a bright ca.s.sock, Great Master Wuwei closed his eyes and chanted sutra in the beating sound of the wooden fish.

Buddha was sitting in the temple, looking solemn.

Qin Weibai walked up to Great Master Wuwei, and in awe, she knelt down devoutly. She did that meticulously and respectfully.

“Why do you bend your knees when you don’t believe in Buddhism?”

The chanting inside the temple filled the air.

Having opened his eyes, Great Master Wuwei looked at the tender face of the pious Qin Weibai and asked with a chuckle.

“I believe in fate.”

Qin Weibai said calmly, straightening herself up.

“You believe in fate?”

Great Master Wuwei smiled but didn’t express any opinion. “If you really believe in your destiny, how can you go against heaven?”

He stood up and walked slowly out of the temple, sighing softly, “You, after all, are still too stubborn.”

Qin Weibai followed Great Master Wuwei obediently and spoke softly, “You ought to have known, from the day you brought me back and adopted me, that my destiny is against heaven. Though my destiny is against heaven, isn’t it the will of Heaven?”

Great Master Wuwei’s eyes blurred. He seemed to have thought of the little girl who was thinly clad yet so calm in the wind and snow so many years ago.

That year he traveled to the southwest, and he stayed there for six years.

Everything happened for a reason.

Nevertheless, he did not know whether his good deed of that year would bring him good karma in the future.

He turned the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand and sighed softly, “You’re obsessed with presentation and individual consciousness but deviate from the essence.”

“That’s who I am.”

Qin Weibai said with a chuckle, “Master, I don’t want to go against heaven, but everything about Tianlan is my destiny. If that’s not the case, does my existence make any sense?”

“You are not you. He’s not him.”

Great Master Wuwei remarked concisely and comprehensively.

Qin Weibai seemed to understand, yet not. The wind from all directions blew past the lower end of her hair, pulling her long hair up. Walking silently beside Great Master Wuwei, she appeared increasingly holy and cold.

“That’s my destiny.”

She murmured softly. Her voice was low, but there was something profound in her words.

Great Master Wuwei shook his head slightly and said no more. Perhaps, as she said, he already knew what was going to happen and he couldn’t change it when he decided to adopt her, a young girl.

No one could go against the will of Heaven and his destiny.

“What are you doing here?”

He glanced at Qin Weibai and smiled to change the subject.

“How’s Tianlan’s birth destiny?”

Qin Weibai asked bluntly.

“After possessing Han Yue Palace and Ming Yue Palace, he has basically gathered the Divine Spirit and some vitality.”

Great Master Wuwei answered calmly.

“But it’s not enough, is it?”

Qin Weibai stopped moving. In front of them was a small pond in the temple. The water was clear and the fish swam leisurely.

“You can’t expect everything to turn out as you wish. He was destined to die, but you’re willing to suffer tribulation for him and I gathered Divine Spirit for him. That’s why he has become who he is today. That’s enough for him.”

Great Master Wuwei looked at the fish and water in the pond and said kindly with a smile.

“What if I add a condensed dragon soul to it?”

Qin Weibai asked in a low voice.

Great Master Wuwei suddenly turned his head, looked at Qin Weibai’s calm face, and asked, “Are you going to harm the Jiang family?”

“I just want to make my man feel less pressured.”

Qin Weibai added indifferently, “Saint is attacking Dragon Gate Mountain. So I’m going to ask you to help me once again, master. Please shatter the Divine Spirit with a dragon soul and let Tianlan’s fate return to chaos.”

She paused for a while and then continued coldly, “The world is like a chessboard, but the Heavenly Son is a p.a.w.n. So what kind of Heavenly Son is that? No one is qualified to control my man’s fate. The fate which cannot be seen through by anyone is the most changeable, isn’t it? If there’s any bad karma… I’m willing to take it on my own.”

Great Master Wuwei’s countenance changed drastically and he stared at Qin Weibai without blinking.

“You’re unable to take it on your own!”

He remained silent for a long time before he looked at Qin Weibai and said coldly.

Qin Weibai turned to face Great Master Wuwei and bowed deeply, saying, “Please grant my wish, master.”

Great Master Wuwei gave a flick of his sleeve and turned, without saying a word.

Qin Weibai kept the same posture and said again, “Please grant my wish, my adoptive father.”

Great Master Wuwei shivered visibly. After a long while, he said slowly, “Is it worthwhile? I’m afraid Li Tianlan wouldn’t appreciate it if he knew you should do that.”

“And after his fate returns to chaos, no one can see his future clearly. His death curse has been removed, and it’s hard to say whether he is doomed or lucky in the future. Are you sure it’s good for him?”

“It’s worthwhile.”

Qin Weibai straightened up and said with a smile, “No matter how much good fortune is waiting for him ahead, he only possesses one-tenth of vitality. Therefore, it’s better to let his fate return to chaos. His destiny and his path ahead, whether they will be good or bad, are under his control. Isn’t that good?”

“But you…”

Great Master Wuwei kind of hesitated.

“I’ll do that at any cost!”

Qin Weibai’s voice became continuously calm.

The morning wind, with its mist, wafted away from the temple to the lake.

Great Master Wuwei sighed heavily and said in a low voice, “The head of the dragon is very important, but the scales are also significant. The Jiang family’s gathering of dragon soul has reached a critical moment. Where is the dragon scales?”

A shaft of sharp, cold light flashed through Qin Weibai’s eyes, and she whispered, “Dragon scales… are in Mount Kunlun, of course.”

Great Master Wuwei narrowed his eyes and said insipidly, “The method to return one’s fate to chaos via shattering Divine Spirit by dragon soul, and the finding fo another location of Emperor. Awesome! Are these all that you got?”

“I’ve got more things.”

Qin Weibai’s expression was calm.

Great Master Wuwei looked at Qin Weibai seriously. After a long while, he shook his head and said, “Your deeds are so terrifying that they’re enough to change the course of history. From this day forward, you owe the entire Dark World a fulfilment. And the so-called tribulation would perhaps fall on you because of this.”

The morning mist pervaded the gloomy sky. Qin Weibai turned to look at the sky and said smilingly, “If my lover’s wishes couldn’t be satisfied, why should I care about whether the world is broken?”
