TEMBMBIWB Chapter 62
by VolareZhou You was stunned for a moment, “Why is that?”
Tan Zhui lightly said, “After so many years, I’m also a little tired, just consider it an excuse for me to take a break.”
Yue Shanglan was bewildered, “A’Zhui, are you going to lock the mountain?”
Tan Zhui replied, “A’Lan, you know me best.”
Yue Shanglan said, “You only reopened the mountain gate for a little over five hundred years, and now you’re going to lock it up again?”
Tan Zhui looked at the scenery outside the window, “Five hundred years, I feel as if it has been ten thousand years, time flies by like an arrow.”
Yue Shanglan, “Then, what about Little Chunsheng?”
Those blue eyes trembled, and he said, “For Hibiscus, staying in You Ming Land is already the best outcome. He was born in You Ming, he shouldn’t have stayed by my side.”
“I have already chosen a path for him.”
“I left some Xiu Luo cultivation methods for him to practice, and there are many of his kind there. He shouldn’t feel lonely.”
Yue Shanglan somewhat unyielding, said, “He has always been the most attached to you. Now that he has just come of age, are you willing to lock the mountain and never see him again?”
Tan Zhui lowered his eyes, “Now, I can barely protect myself. If I involve him again, it will probably be a lose-lose situation. It is better for us to each go our own way.”
His eyes fell outside the door and suddenly became sharp.
Yue Shanglan and Zhou You came to their senses and looked towards the door at the same time.
The door was pulled open at this moment, and a figure walked in.
“Divine Lord, I heard you self-detonated your immortal marrow, how are you now?” Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng quickly walked in, looking worried and quickly asked.
Tan Zhui smiled faintly, “It’s not a big deal, I just need to lock the mountain and recuperate for a while.”
Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng looked surprised and subconsciously looked at Zhou You on the side.
Zhou You made a bow and said, “Reporting to the Heavenly Lord, the Divine Lord’s immortal marrow has scattered and he has no more divine power. Locking the mountain to recuperate is indeed the best course of action.”
Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng was extremely surprised and said in disbelief, “How could this be? This…”
“Is it possible for the Divine Lord to recover?”
Zhou You met Tan Zhui’s gaze and understood, “I’m afraid it’s unlikely. This immortal marrow was something the Divine Lord was born with. It’s already one in a million. With it scattered like this, I don’t know how many tens of thousands of years it would take to be reborn…”
Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng was stunned for a long time, seemingly unable to accept it.
“Right now, the three realms are peaceful, thanks to the Divine Lord sacrificing himself to detonate his immortal marrow, but this Heavenly Lord can do nothing.”
He sighed, “I wonder if there is anything the Divine Lord wants? As long as the Divine Lord says it, I, this Lord, will definitely do it.”
Tan Zhui smiled, “In that case, I won’t be polite.”
Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng laughed, “Just say it.”
Tan Zhui’s eyes sharpened as he said, word by word, “I hope the Heavenly Lord will guarantee that from now on, he will never step into You Ming Land, abide by the contract of the three realms, and each maintain their position and return to their original heart.”
Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng’s face stiffened, and after a long while, he said, “Alright, I promise you.”
Tan Zhui smiled, “In that case, I thank the Heavenly Lord.”
…
The news of the White Deer Immortal losing all his divine power and locking himself in Fangcun Mountain quickly spread throughout the three realms.
Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng also issued a contract, promising not to recklessly start conflict for ten thousand years.
The three realms returned to peace.
You Ming Land, Sunset Village.
The Cheng Feng Xiao Lou had already gone through three spring and autumn seasons.
The young man slowly opened his eyes, the scene before him was unchanged. He subconsciously wanted to look for that figure, but turned around and found nothing.
A sound outside the house attracted him, he almost burst out of the door.
But was instantly stunned.
A group of stubborn stone people were busy working in the courtyard. None of them were tall. Some were watering flowers and planting vegetables, some were feeding chickens and picking up eggs, some were sweeping the courtyard and doing chores, some were busy in the kitchen.
It was quite lively.
Before long, they all noticed that the young man had woken up.
They bowed to the young man together, and then continued doing their own things.
Only one stubborn stone person came waddling over with a box.
Sui Chunsheng looked at it with suspicion and picked up the box that almost crushed the little person.
The familiar scent of rosewood touched his nerves. The young man quickly opened the box. The first thing he saw was a neatly placed letter.
Sui Chunsheng quickly opened the letter.
He was very familiar with Tan Zhui’s handwriting.
Hibiscus, may this letter find you well.
Your teacher spent some effort to create these stubborn stones, they are all riverbed stones from the Blue Sea of You Ming. They have been exposed for many years and have some spiritual energy. They are much smarter than the wooden lumps from Fangcun Mountain, and I believe they can take good care of you.
Your teacher found many Xiu Luo cultivation methods and paired them with this “Qu Ku” sword. It will definitely help you.
Forgive your teacher for leaving without saying goodbye.
Good Hibiscus, my dear Hibiscus, Hibiscus.
Sui Chunsheng held the letter, tears already falling.
He understood that he had been abandoned again, he would always be abandoned.
Sui Chunsheng looked into the box. There were indeed several cultivation manuals and a completely black sword with a red coral tassel.
This sword was much more flamboyant than his Tansue Sword.
He slowly drew the sword. The black sheath contained a blade as red as fiery clouds. On the blade was engraved a row of small characters – Ling Li Qu Ku Sword.
The blade was like the dazzling tail of a long-tailed pangolin, making it hard to look away.
He finally couldn’t help but cry out in pain. He crushed the letter into pieces.
The young man’s voice trembled, filled with confusion and resentment.
“Why… why do you treat me like this… If you were going to deceive me, why love me, why pity me, why cherish me?! Why, why… why didn’t you just throw me here, why didn’t you just leave me with nothing, why didn’t you just let me live or die on my own…”
He painfully squatted down, clutching the Ling Li Qu Ku Sword in his hand, wishing he could crush it.
“I don’t want to love you anymore… I hate you… I should hate you…”
“But why can’t I… hate you…”
The stubborn stone people nearby were startled by his cries and came closer, making a series of cooing sounds.
“Goo goo goo…”
Sui Chunsheng was annoyed by them and was about to get angry, but he saw one of the stubborn stone people reach out and touch his head, then gently pat his shoulder.
Then, it hummed a melody.
He was very familiar with this melody. It was the one his master often used to coax him to sleep.
The young man’s chest stung, and he almost couldn’t breathe.
“Don’t sing, don’t sing…” He pushed the stubborn stone person away.
The stubborn stone person staggered and stood up, looking at him with incomprehension.
Sui Chunsheng met its innocent gaze and felt a little guilty.
“I’m sorry, but don’t sing it again.”
The stubborn stone person seemed to understand and softly said, “Goo goo.”
Several stubborn stone people came over with food, urging him to eat with cooing sounds.
Sui Chunsheng had no mood to eat, he just said, “You eat, I want to sleep for a while.”
With that said, he closed the door.
A group of little people stood there, looking at each other.
Sui Chunsheng returned to the room, looked around, and couldn’t help but recall everything that had happened in this room.
He threw the sword in his hand out of frustration, and it crashed heavily to the ground.
With a loud bang, the sword hit the wall heavily and then fell to the ground.
A hole was made in the floor, and the red coral tassels on the hilt scattered all over the floor. Some of them were broken and shattered, almost completely destroyed.
The Little Hibiscus Immortal locked himself in his room for several days, and the stubborn stone people’s attempts to persuade him were unsuccessful.
The young man often pulled them to drink together, and always ended up drunk and slumped, eventually being dragged to bed by the stubborn stone people.
One night, Sui Chunsheng, didn’t know how many times he had gotten drunk. He was sleeping on a reclining chair when he heard a chaotic noise.
There was also a series of anxious cooing sounds.
He frowned impatiently and shouted, “What are you doing again? Won’t you let me sleep!-”
The sound grew louder and louder, and one of the stubborn stones walked quickly towards him, reaching out to pull him.
But the drunk young man was like a pile of mud, and it took them a lot of effort to pull him up.
A stubborn stone person poured half a bowl of hangover tea into his mouth. Sui Chunsheng coughed twice and suddenly opened his eyes.
He saw that the group of stubborn stones were holding a stone slab in front of him, cooing and seemed to want him to check it out.
Sui Chunsheng patiently looked at the stone slab.
The scene displayed on the stone slab did attract his attention. The flat stone slab showed a scene of You Ming Land.
At the border of You Ming Land, a lot of flying, unknown auras seemed to have appeared. The auras didn’t look like demons and monsters, nor did they look like demonic auras, but they looked very much like Xiu Luo auras.
They flew around and made a mess of every place they passed, sending sand flying.
Sui Chunsheng was stunned for a moment, “What is this?”
The stubborn stone people pointed to the center of the stone slab, which was a vortex wind eye surrounded by You Ming River.
The stubborn stone anxiously said, “Goo goo goo goo!”
Sui Chunsheng looked over and saw that the speed of the vortex wind eye seemed to be getting faster and faster, continuously expanding and engulfing its surroundings. The black auras that were escaping were exactly Xiu Luo auras.
“This, this wind eye seal seems to be dissolving.”
The young man subconsciously became nervous. If the wind eye loosened, releasing all the Xiu Luo demonic beasts and remnants of souls within, it would engulf the entire You Ming and turn it into a true no-man’s-land.
Moreover, the barrier at the border might also be broken, and these ancient Xiu Luo might use this opportunity to escape, inevitably bringing chaos to the three realms.
But after thinking about it, Sui Chunsheng lay back down.
So what if the three realms were to collapse? What did it have to do with him?
This kind of thing was only related to those noble, ethereal immortals and had nothing to do with a Xiu Luo demon like him.
He also didn’t know who broke the seal of the wind eye.
The stubborn stone person on the side seemed to see through his thoughts and immediately became anxious.
Sui Chunsheng was amused by its appearance, “Little guy, what are you rushing for? Let’s just eat and drink here, it won’t disturb our mood.”
The stubborn stone person stumbled and put a bamboo basket on its back, swaying back and forth, while still pointing at him.
It was like a person running around with a large pot on their back.
Sui Chunsheng tilted his head, “Did you drink too much?”
One of the stubborn stone people hit him once, pointed at the one running around with the basket on its back, then pointed at him, and kept cooing.
He looked back and forth, seeming to understand. He said, “Me? To take the blame?”
A group of stubborn stone people immediately nodded.
Sui Chunsheng was surprised, “Why should I take the blame?”
