Chapter 300: Chapter 188: Heavenly Secret_2

The Little Monk asked again, "Why must they see Master? Are there some things that even Senior Hongzhi and Senior Hongyuan don’t know?"

The Old Monk said, "Because I have lived long enough..." He then looked around the courtyard at the flowers and plants, and with a laugh, added, "Sitting and watching the clouds unfold, lying down and listening to the birds sing, watching the leisurely flowers in the morning and listening to the rain at night, of course, I have lived a long life. Even the Emperor, the abbot, do not have a life as carefree and joyful as an Immortal."

The Little Monk looked at his Master, this was quite different from what Senior Hongzhi and Senior Hongyuan had told him.

The Old Monk seemed to guess what the Little Monk was thinking, chuckled a few times, and then said, "You should only listen to half of what your two Senior Brothers say. My words, however, should be remembered fully."

The Little Monk nodded thoughtfully.

A moment later, Liang Zechong and his grandson arrived. Liang Zechong made a bow to Bei Kong and said, "We have not met for ten years, yet the Old Fairy looks as hearty as ever, while my father has already passed away many years ago."

Bei Kong clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the circle of life and death is determined by the heavens, and I only have a dozen or so years left."

The two were invited into the meditation room to sit on the couch, and a young Monk poured tea before leaving, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Bei Kong got straight to the point, "In the past decade, each time I went to Baoguo Temple, I was never able to meet with Master Liang, nor the Emperor. Even taking Hongji as a disciple was entrusted to me by Master Hongzhi. It really is because I am getting old and no longer wish to be troubled by these mundane matters."

Was this a clear refusal of the tasks entrusted by the Emperor?

That sentence rolled around in Liang Zechong’s throat, but he suppressed it and instead brought up his own family’s matters, "I want to know about Zhaozhao’s illness. Can it truly be cured? Before my father passed away, he mentioned that the Master once predicted Zhaozhao’s fate. He said that among all living beings, there would be someone destined for Zhaozhao, and if fortunate enough to meet, Zhaozhao could turn peril into safety. From then on, she would be blessed with great fortune and live a smooth life. Does that mean if this destined person appears and they come together, it can change Zhaozhao’s fate and cure her illness?"

The Old Monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Master Liang has misunderstood the meaning of ’destined.’ What I meant by destined is that she is fated with a certain rare Spiritual Object. Only she can acquire that Spiritual Object, and with it, Zhaozhao’s illness can be completely healed, unlike what you are thinking."

Liang Zechong asked excitedly, "Does that mean, Master, you have already foreseen where this destined person is? My Zhaozhao is saved?"

The Old Monk said, "I have not only foreseen where she is, but I have also met her. Moreover, Zhaozhao has a deep connection with her, and your Liang Mansion also has ties with her family."

Liang Zechong pondered for a moment, then guessed, "Is Master referring to one of the Qian family’s young girls?"

The Old Monk nodded and said, "Yes, it’s the Qian family’s girl. However, this matter should only be known to you and Zhaozhao; it must not be spread. Otherwise, it would bring disaster upon that girl."

Liang Zechong solemnly promised, "Master, rest assured. I, Liang, and Zhaozhao are not ungrateful people; we will keep this secret strictly confidential."

The Old Monk nodded and added, "That Spiritual Object is hidden deep within the mountains and cliffs, and the journey will be fraught with extreme danger and difficulty. When the time comes, I will have to personally go and lend a hand for her to succeed in her quest."

Liang Zechong said, "I can send a few top experts to assist her, what do you think?"

The Old Monk scoffed and said, "If it is a Spiritual Object, it will not allow the disturbance of worldly people. Only the one with destiny can truly see it."

Liang Zechong got off the couch and gave the Old Monk a deep bow, saying, "Thank you, Master. The fate of my Zhaozhao depends entirely on your compassion."

...

The next day, Liang Zechong was to descend the mountain alone and return to Xizhou Mansion, while Liang Jinzhao would continue to stay here.

Early in the morning, he went to bid farewell to Master Beikong, thinking about the matter entrusted to him by the Emperor. His face turned red, but he still couldn’t bring himself to ask.

The Old Monk looked at Liang Zechong and said, "Ten years ago, celestial bodies suddenly showed anomalies. I calculated that not only have the fates of many people changed, but the golden age of Daqian will continue for nearly a hundred more years. The worries of the Emperor will not come to pass... The secrets of heaven should not be revealed, and this is all I have to say."

Liang Zechong did not expect the Master to say these words. Although the details were not revealed, it was enough for him to give a report.

He again deeply bowed to the Old Monk, left the courtyard, and took a carriage down Xiding Mountain.

Meanwhile, down at Xijing Mountain in Huaxi Village and Darong Village, the villagers were still gleefully discussing how the Master County Magistrate and the County Lord were accompanying officials from the Capital City to visit the Qian family. The people envied them, so much so that they didn’t even feel jealous or resentful anymore, because even they admitted they were not qualified to feel such envy or resentment.
