The moon-viewing party on August 15th caused a huge disturbance in the Western Regions.
The most news Luo Jing heard about the Western Regions in the Heavenly Book Pavilion was about the moon-viewing party.
He heard many different versions of the rumors, and after carefully summarizing the similarities, he roughly confirmed a few things.
The Moon Viewing Conference was indeed some kind of conspiracy of the Soul Refining Sect.
It should be a trap set by Dayue King Ying Feihong in cooperation with the Soul Refining Sect, who wanted to lure out the descendant of the Heavenly Demon by using the Heavenly Demon Mask.
And beforehand, the Soul Refining Sect should have deliberately leaked the news to Central Plains.
That’s why so many people from Central Plains showed up at the moon-viewing party.
The three holy places and the Night Walk Division all sent people, and the one who finally got the Heavenly Demon Mask was a young monk named Zhizhen.
This person came from Brahma Pure Land, one of the three holy places. He was quite famous among the younger generation of disciples in Brahma Pure Land. Although he was in his twenties, he had a high level of cultivation.
He revealed his identity in the Western Regions, won the first prize of the Moon Viewing Conference, and took away the Demon Mask openly.
He even fought against Dayue King Ying Feihong and was not at a disadvantage. His strength is unfathomable.
During this period, the reputation of Brahma Pure Land became very popular, and the name of Zen Master Zhizhen even often appeared in the discussions of the people on the streets.
In this world, the lives of practitioners are closely related to those of ordinary people, and the two are not separated from each other.
Those famous practitioners became the protagonists of various folk legends.
Zen Master Zhizhen has become very famous recently.
But Luo Jing understood that this was the Soul Refining Sect's attempt to divert disaster.
Coming from the Western Regions, he understood the style of the Western Demonic Land too well.
Normally, so many righteous practitioners setting foot in the Western Regions would definitely arouse the hostility of the Soul Refining Sect.
This Zen Master Zhizhen may even have difficulty leaving Dayue City, let alone taking away the Heavenly Demon's Heavenly Tools.
Zen Master Zhizhen took away the mask of the Heavenly Demon, so the target of the Heavenly Demon's descendants would naturally shift from the Western Regions to the Central Plains.
In this way, Lu Li, the disaster that may cause chaos, will naturally leave the Western Regions and go to the Central Plains.
For the Soul Refining Sect, this is one less trouble.
Once this troublesome person arrives in the Central Plains, he will inevitably stir up chaos in the Central Plains court, killing two birds with one stone.
Ordinary people are unaware of the conspiracy behind this, but Luo Jing, who was once caught in the center of the storm, sees it clearly.
Fortunately, he was already away from the disputes at this time.
The officialdom and the underworld have nothing to do with him.
Lingyun Immortal Sect did not have much involvement in this incident, and it basically had no impact on him and Qingxuan.
Luo Jing just wanted to practice in silence and wait for the meeting with Qingxuan.
It was cold and windy in December.
Luo Jing, who has been in Haiyan City for more than half a month, has finally settled down in the city.
After get off work every day, he would go to a restaurant in Dongmen to stay for a while.
Although the couple agreed that Luo Jing would wait at the East Gate on the first and fifteenth of every month.
But he had nothing to do every day and was very relaxed, so waiting at the East Gate didn't affect anything.
Whenever Luo Jing sat by the window of the restaurant having a drink and staring at the city gate not far away, a fairy in white would appear beside him.
This mysterious and strange incarnation of the soul has self-awareness and will come down on its own initiative.
When Luo Jing sat by the window, drinking and watching the East Gate, the appearance of the fairy in white seemed to be a kind of companionship.
But she never spoke to Luo Jing.
Even though there were a few times when Luo Jing wanted to talk to her, all he got was silent silence.
But these days, the way the fairy in white looked at him was no longer as hostile and cold as it was at the beginning.
Occasionally, out of the corner of my eye, I could even see the complex emotions surging in the eyes of the fairy in white.
It seems a bit strange.
While Luo Jing was waiting for Qingxuan, the fairy in white was also looking at him.
On the day when the story of Zen Master Zhizhen was fabricated and exaggerated by the storyteller in the restaurant based on hearsay, she was even stunned by the story and stood there for a long time without moving.
Luo Jing felt curious. Could it be that this incarnation of the soul could listen to stories
But that was the only time. After that, the fairy in white no longer responded to the various wonderful stories told by the storyteller.
But the look in her eyes when she looked at Luo Jing became extremely complicated.
On the first day of December, the sun was shining brightly and the wind was cold.
The warm sun in winter cannot drive away the coldness between heaven and earth.
Luo Jing walked into the restaurant as usual and sat by the window on the second floor waiting.
Today, he took a special leave and did not go to work at the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
Because he and Qingxuan had an agreement to wait for him at the East Gate on the first and fifteenth day of every month.
The two had originally planned that Luo Jing would arrive in Haiyan City at the end of November.
So if Qingxuan came down the mountain early, she should come to the east gate to look for Luo Jing on the first day of December.
As soon as the sun came out in the early morning, Luo Jing walked out of the house and went to the east gate to wait.
He didn't practice all night.
The approaching first day of the new year made him fall into a state of anxious anticipation, and he was eager to see Qingxuan.
He even wished he could manipulate time and make it quickly jump to the first day of December so that he could skip the torment of waiting.
Luo Jing, who was sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the city gate, watching every person who walked into the city gate, trying to find Qingxuan.
The waiters in the restaurant were already familiar with this customer. After all, Luo Jing came here every day, so they did not disturb him.
The morning sun shines on the east gate of Haiyan City, coating everything in the world with layers of faint golden light.
The sunny weather seemed to be a sign that Luo Jing would soon meet his wife and have a happy ending.
Luo Jing was in a good mood.
He looked at the fairy in white and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Haven't you heard the story of Sanniang visiting her mother many times? Why are you reacting so strongly this time?"
A fairy in white stood quietly not far away, still keeping a subtle distance from him.
But there was something particularly wrong with the fairy in white today.
She looked at Luo Jing with complicated eyes, her eyebrows drooping and her lips pursed, as if she was in some sad and melancholy mood.
The storyteller not far away was telling a rather sad story in a low voice - Sanniang visits her mother.
This story is widely circulated in the Central Plains.
It tells the story of a rebellious girl who ran away from home after falling out with her parents. After experiencing many hardships, she finally escaped back to her parents' home, saw her gentle mother, and finally felt the warmth of home, and burst into tears.
However, after a night, when the morning came, the woman discovered that her mother had passed away long ago, and what she saw last night was just her mother's wandering ghost.
The mother just couldn't let her go, and couldn't rest in peace even after her death, so she kept waiting at home, wanting to see her daughter for the last time.
In the end, the rebellious daughter finally grew up and became sensible and mature, but she was separated from her mother forever.
This is a very sad story and has been widely circulated, becoming one of the classic stories of storytellers.
But today, the fairy in white seemed to be immersed in the story. Her sad and melancholy eyes made Luo Jing concerned.
