Chapter 120 - Divine Ordinance
After Mu Yunjin left the courtyard, she subconsciously looked back and lightly scrunched her brows as she glanced at the towering Ancient Millenium Tree.
Could it be that the reason her mood changed when looking at the Ancient Millenium Tree was Qin Munan?
Thinking up to here, Mu Yunjin was a little apprehensive and with quick steps strode in the direction of the Buddhist Hall.
Outside the Buddhist hall, one could see Daoist Feng Xuan and Great Master Huai Yuan walking out. As they stepped out, they saw Mu Yunjin hastening over.
The Old Daoist raised his eyebrow in displeasure as he angrily opened his mouth.
"Dead girl why are you running? Is there a ghost chasing after you?"
"Yes ah, there is a ghost chasing after me." Pat came Mu Yunjin’s reply between her gasps for air.
"Tsk, not serious." Daoist Feng Xuan glared at Mu Yunjin and walked forward. "Bring me to the Secret Pavilion."
Mu Yunjin stopped and turned to look back. She was surprised to find Great Master Huai Yuan still standing where he was.
"Master, aren\'t you going?"
In response, Great Master Huai Yuan shook his head and smiled.
Mu Yunjin curled her lips and turned to follow Daoist Feng Xuan closely towards the Secret Pavilion.
On the way, the Old Daoist glanced at Mu Yunjin. "I heard from Huai Yuan that you are the one who broke half of Kong Shi\'s array."
"Not considered as breaking." Mu Yunjin lowered her gaze. It was related to modern technology, an infrared ray and people from ancient times were unclear in that area.
"Hmph, you lass seem ordinary, not according to standards in appearance, but unexpectedly a little clever.
"Ordinary? But I am the most beautiful lady in Xi Yuan country, ok?!
"I don\'t see it."
♚♚♚
Mu Yunjin took Daoist Feng Xuan to the Secret Pavilion. When they arrived at the location of the array, Mu Yunjin looked towards the old man.
Daoist Feng Xuan wore a serious expression, his eyes completely focused on the array in front of him. After a while, Daoist Feng Xuan looked around the array.
As she waited and waited, Mu Yunjin finally gave in to her curiosity. She could not help but ask, "Master, what do you see?"
"Immortal Incantation Lock." Daoist Feng Xuan slowly uttered three words.
Mu Yunjin frowned. It appeared he had said the name of the array.
"Do you know it?"
"Mu\'er..."
In the quiet and secluded pavilion, a ghostly voice sounded. Mu Yunjin felt cold and subconsciously looked towards Daoist Feng Xuan.
"Feng Xuan you\'re here?"
The voice sounded again.
"It\'s been twenty years, but you still remember me?" Daoist Feng Xuan let out a long sigh.
A low laugh was heard. "You and I are acquaintances, how can I forget you? I just did not expect you would come here."
"Your son is trying his best to get you out, but I think you are enjoying your stay here." Daoist Feng Xuan spoke in a teasing manner.
All this while, Mu Yunjin stood still at the side, quietly listening to their conversation.
"Where am I pleased? It\'s just that I have stayed here for many years, besides the emptiness and coldness in my heart, there is nothing." Rong Fei’s weak voice floated.
"Why then, did you bequeath the secret Huang Yu Pavilion to this lass?" Daoist Feng Xuan questioned coldly.
Mu Yunjin\'s heart shivered, as she looked at Daoist Feng Xuan in surprise. She thought that she had covered it well but it turned out that he had seen through it all.
This old man is something.
"Mu\'er is not an ordinary woman, I think you should know that."
"Hmph, she was originally an ordinary woman, but after you entrusted her the Huang Yu Pavilion she no longer is."
"Rong Wanyue, you should think about it. I can still hide it for you now, but once Chu Li possesses the method to break the array, you can no longer hide anything."
Rong Fei sighed. "Feng Xuan, you are devoted to the right path, but one can see your dire state. By contrast, Qiuye now has his own sect and is revered by the people."
"Are you really willing?"
♚♚♚
Walking out of the Secret Pavilion, Daoist Feng Xuan had a long face, and his countenance heavy. He had plunged into a solemn silence.
Mu Yunjin walked at the side, digesting the conversation just then. She couldn\'t help but think that there was something queer at play here. She was piqued.
"Lass." Daoist Feng Xuan suddenly stopped walking.
"What\'s the matter?" Mu Yunjin looked towards Daoist Feng Xuan.
Daoist Feng Xuan looked askance at Mu Yunjin. "I\'ve always followed the right path, am I wrong?"
Although she heard his words, Mu Yunjin couldn’t understand the meaning within. So she shook her head.
"Following your beliefs is not wrong, What is wrong is that others don\'t consider your beliefs."
Taking this opportunity, Mu Yunjin made an attempt to placate her curiosity. Mu Yunjin narrowed her eyes and asked, "What\'s Rong Fei\'s secret?"
From their conversation, it seemed that it was not as simple as the Phoenix body. Rong Fei, the Huang Yu Pavilion, Secret Pavilion, her imprisonment, they all seemed to be intriguingly connected.
"You don\'t have to know that, it is not good for you." Daoist Feng Xuan started to depart.
Mu Yunjin stared at Daoist Feng Xuan, unwilling to give up. "But it concerns Chu Li, I do have the right to know."
"Tsk, why are you obstinate today!" It seems that Daoist Feng Xuan had no intention of answering as he went out of the temple.
"Then let me think, is there any other reason for the Emperor to imprison Rong Fei besides her Phoenix body?"
"Or--"
Mu Yunjin paused, then continued. "This so-called Secret Pavilion and the array are all just games that Rong Fei made herself."
"You..."
Daoist Feng Xuan was stunned. There was a trace of surprise and fear in his eyes. As he looked at Mu Yunjin, she saw the shock in his eyes.
"I guessed correctly?" Mu Yunjin looked at the changing expression on Daoist Feng Xuan\'s face and raised the corners of her lips.
Pursing his lips, Daoist Feng Xuan pointed a finger towards Mu Yunjin. "Don\'t get involved in the affairs of the previous generation."
"But she transferred the Huang Yu Pavilion to me, I am already involved. Besides, I already know that this matter is not simple, I still want to get to the bottom of this matter. I don\'t want to be betrayed or sold to people." Ever since she took over the Huang Yu Pavilion, she had always felt that it was a hot potato. Now that she knew there were concealed layers of secret behind Rong Fei, how could she pretend not to know and fool herself?
Seeing that Mu Yunjin could not be persuaded, he pulled her to the side and sighed heavily. "Do you know that in this world there is a command tablet called the Divine Ordinance?"
Mu Yunjin shook her head, but upon hearing the words Divine Ordinance, her heart inexplicably ached.
"It is normal that you haven\'t heard of it. In the past, we too had only heard of the existence of this Divine Ordinance, but no one has ever seen it."
“Then, why are you speaking about Divine Ordinance?" Mu Yunjin asked with a frown.
Daoist Feng Xuan laughed but only for a brief moment. "It is said that those who possess the Divine Ordinance can summon the dead and dominate the world using the Arts of Death."
"It\'s that mystical? You are not reading mythical books filled with nonsense, are you?." Mu Yunjin felt it was inconceivable.
"Just then, I flipped through Kong Shi\'s notes, he mentioned that he had seen the tablet of Divine Ordinance. But then, it transformed into a white light and disappeared into the horizon. The day he wrote it was the day of his death."
Mu Yunjin had goosebumps all over and trembled slightly. She felt somewhat terrified. "What\'s the relationship between the Divine Ordinance Tablet and Rong Fei?"
"Naturally, they are related." Daoist Feng Xuan then leaned over and whispered a few words into Mu Yunjin\'s ear.
For a moment, Mu Yunjin\'s face suddenly turned white, she stared at Daoist Feng Xuan, startled and shocked.
After a while, Mu Yunjin digested what Daoist Feng Xuan had just said. She pursed her lips before speaking. "Now, Qin Muyue is the Phoenix Daughter… no wonder, the Qin family is like a tiger that has grown wings."
"What did you say? She is the Phoenix Daughter?" Daoist Feng Xuan almost roared and his eyes widened. He couldn\'t believe Mu Yunjin\'s words.
Mu Yunjin twitched her mouth, and showed an expression hinting he should calm down. In a low voice, she replied. "Qin Tai Fei said that she saw the Phoenix mark on Qin Muyue\'s back. The same as the one Rong Fei had."
"Chu Li should have known about this matter."
♚♚♚
This time, returning from Shui Yun temple, Mu Yunjin didn\'t know if she had profited or lost. In a short while, she had learned a lot of things, but it only made her head somewhat of a mess.
First, it was Qin Munan and Mu Yunjin\'s matter, then Rong Fei\'s array matter, and Chu Li...
Oh, forget it, let it be.
"Then, my breaking of the array, isn\'t it meaningless to study?" Mu Yunjin caressed her chest and turned to look at Daoist Feng Xuan.
"Depends on your mood."
Mu Yunjin curled her mouth. Just then she saw that the carriage had stopped in front of the Fu. She held her head, all day long, she was unable to have peace.
When hurried back to the Glass Spring Pavilion, Mu Yunjin was greeted by the sight of a Chu Li drinking tea with a book in hand, in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Chu Li, Mu Yunjin suddenly remembered Daoist Feng Xuan\'s words. As she greeted him, her face wore an unnatural expression.
Chu Li noticed her lack of spirit. "Are you unhappy today?"
"En?" Mu Yunjin just wanted to go back to her room and rest, since Chu Li started a conversation, her eyes became guarded. "How can I be unhappy, it\'s just that I have been in Shui Yun Temple all day and now I feel tired."
When Chu Li heard her words, he nodded his head, then reaching out his hand helped Mu Yunjin pour a cup of tea. "Sit down first."
Mu Yunjin sat down obediently and saw the hot cup of tea in front of her, her heart felt inexplicably sweet. Chu Li even helped her pour a cup of tea.
It\'s rare.
"Eat this." Chu Li took out a small box and opened it, inside was a white pill.
"What\'s this?" In a moment, Mu Yunjin picked up the pill and put it in her hand.
"Medicine to break the spirit of the Black Lotus in your body." Chu Li replied curtly.
Mu Yunjin was stumped for words. She was puzzled and looked towards Chu Li. "Break the Spirit of the Black Lotus? But I haven\'t learned how to break the array yet."
"No need, Benhuangzi will find another way." Chu Li\'s glazed eyes were foggy, deftly masking his thoughts.
Upon his words, Mu Yunjin felt guilty in her heart. Does Chu Li know the real reason for the array? So she doesn\'t need to learn how to break the array herself?
Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes, and pursed her lips, thinking that since Chu Li did not want to divulge then she wouldn\'t prod. Just do as Chu Li wants.
So, she took the pill and swallowed it with the tea.
