Chapter 325 – Dust Break
An Zheng looked at Xu Meidai, who was in front of him, in a bit of a daze, and in that instant, he had an impulse to let time return to the past. He did not have feelings for Xu Meidai, nor did he want to use Xu Meidai’s feelings to save her life. He just didn’t want Xu Meidai to take the risk. He didn’t want Xu Meidai to sink deeper into the abyss.
For him, the entire Tian Haogong had been thrown in, and even now, hundreds of disciples had disappeared. For him, Xu Meidai, who was once the pride of Da Xi Sky, was now living in the Buddha Country in the Western Region and would soon become the next Sect Leader of the Peacock Palace. Xu Meidai said that she wanted to cut off their relationship, but if she could do so, was this really the life that she wanted?
An Zheng looked at Xu Meidai, the corners of her eyes moist.
One of the reasons why Xu Meidai cut off their mortal ties was to avenge him. Those who had hurt him before, had all been found by Xu Meidai.
“No!”
An Zheng shook his head, “Can I do it myself?”
Xu Meidai shook her head slightly, “No, that’s not good. I’m not going to kill those people to avenge you. Maybe you think I love you so much... But after that kiss, the relationship between you and I was severed. I’m not lying to you, I really want to become a qualified Peacock Palace Sect Leader. You may think it’s incredible that I’m lying to you, but I’m not. ”
She looked at An Zheng and said seriously: “After leaving the State of Yan, I will first head to the Golden Crown. I will tour the various countries from the Golden Crown to the east, and hear about the buddhist arts. These days are the calmest days of my life. In the end, I went to the Peacock Palace and the Hierarch himself helped me enlighten myself. I don’t force you to convert to Buddhism, she said. I just want you to see your own heart. I was in front of Peacock Palace’s Cui Ping for 13 days, suddenly enlightened … Fang … An Zheng, I have already found my target. ”
Her voice was calm, and the tears had dried at the corners of her eyes.
“I used to think that my goal was to follow in your footsteps. It’s good to follow behind you and watch your back. But the Buddha’s enlightenment made me understand that if I continue like this, I will only be imposing my pain on you. I’m in pain, and you’re in pain. It’s time for me to wake up. This world is nolace where you have to get what you want. The happiness I once thought was only the root of my pain. ”
Gradually, an expression which An Zheng felt was extremely unfamiliar appeared on her face: “I’m not taking revenge for you, I’m only cutting off the ties of fate in my heart.”
An Zheng suddenly understood.
Xu Meidai was right, she was not lying to him. If Xu Meidai wanted to pursue a very high realm of consciousness, then she had to cut off everything that was related to him in the past. The person who was once the deepest and most unshakable in Xu Meidai’s heart was An Zheng. Now, she used a kiss as a blade and cut off this part of her obsession. In other words, that kiss was to say goodbye to her past self, and not to An Zheng. She had to cut off everything in her heart that had nothing to do with Dharma. Only then would she be able to concentrate on cultivation.
An Zheng didn’t know what to say, could it be that he could force himself to bring Xu Meidai back? Even if he brought his back, was that really the right choice for Xu Meidai?
He stood there, not knowing what to do in front of him for the first time. That’s right, An Zheng wasn’t someone who relied on his wits to act, he was always a little impulsive. He was also a bit clumsy when it came to relationships between men and women, so he was always on the defensive. But An Zheng was very clear of one thing, and that was that he could not think of anyone else just because of his own thoughts. An Zheng asked himself, what could you use to help Xu Meidai?
Affection?
An Zheng treated Xu Meidai as her best friend, and even as family.
“You can go.”
Xu Meidai walked higher and higher, as if she was about to reach the heavens. It was as if everything here had nothing to do with An Zheng anymore. Including those from the State of Zhao who had fallen to the ground and turned into ashes, and even Xu Meidai who was walking away slowly, including herself.
An Zheng suddenly discovered that after leaving the State of Yan this time, he had bid farewell to many things. It wasn’t just Xu Meidai who was bidding farewell, An Zheng was also there. An Zheng didn’t know whether or not this was a sudden enlightenment, but this kind of farewell made people sad.
An Zheng bid farewell to his past self. Within the bronze door, he bid farewell to his past self by clapping his hands.
The past is given to the past and the future to the future.
“You will encounter danger!”
An Zheng shouted to Xu Meidai who was getting further and further away: “Chen Zhongqi’s cultivation is also unfathomable, although he rarely makes a move, he’s good at hiding himself. Even I don’t know the depth of his cultivation. Moreover, experts will definitely be as common as the clouds by Chen Zhongqi’s side. ”
Xu Meidai smiled faintly, it was the confidence of a strong warrior.
“If I can’t even cut through these, how will I cultivate my mental state?”
She turned around. “It’s like it’s been a lifetime. I won’t be seeing you again.”
With that, her figure disappeared. An Zheng stood there in a daze. His mind was in a mess, but he didn’t know what he was thinking. Xu Meidai saw through the Red Dust. Her kiss was like a blade, followed by another slash. An Zheng raised his head and looked in the direction that Xu Meidai had left. “Where are your disciples?” What about them? But Xu Meidai had already disappeared...
An Zheng turned around and walked back. When he arrived outside the Beast Battlefield, he felt as if he had broken through an invisible barrier. Then, he suddenly realized that when Xu Meidai saw him just now, she had casually set up a ban on people not being able to see them.
Xu Meidai kept repeating these words in her mind, causing him to feel as if her heart had been squeezed into a ball.
“Those who have hurt you before are my shackles. If I want to cultivate Dharma, I must break through these shackles. Cut them off and let them cease to be a demon in my heart. An Zheng... Once, you were my biggest inner demon. But now, the past is my biggest inner demon. You are only a part of my past. I know you’re sad, but it’s not because I don’t love you anymore. It’s because you think I’m suffering. No... Cultivating makes me incomparably happy. ”
The words Xu Meidai said before she left were like knives slicing through An Zheng’s heart.
Actually, Xu Meidai had seen through everything thoroughly from the beginning till the end.
“The State of Zhao’s Su Mou who was in charge of contacting the State of Yan’s empress dowager came. The Yin Zhiting who was bribed to pass the Sacred Emperor’s decree came, the head of the divinity who was besieging you, Zhuang Dong. The mastermind, Chen Zhongqi, also came.”
An Zheng raised his head, his eyes gradually becoming clear again.
Could she stop Xu Meidai? No, no. Just as Xu Meidai had said, all of these things seemed like they were taking revenge for An Zheng. But in reality, she had nothing to do with An Zheng anymore. What she wanted was to cut off the past, cut off all the obsession that had existed in her heart. Those people who framed An Zheng, were pricked one by one in Xu Meidai’s heart. After she had pulled out all the thorns, she was no longer Xu Meidai but the Peacock Palace’s Sect Leader.
An Zheng looked towards the relay station, where there was one of his enemies. An Zheng never thought that there would actually be Yin Zhiting among those who deceived him. That young man who once purely wished to repay her, why did he betray her?
An Zheng wanted to ask clearly.
His steps were somewhat heavy. It turned out that bidding farewell to the past was not an easy matter. His heart ached and ached everywhere. An Zheng thought about the words that Empress Dowager Su Qingnuan had said before her death … Fang Zheng was a complete failure! Do you think that Chen Zhongqi is the only one who wants to kill him? Then you’re wrong. There were too many people who wanted to kill Fang Zheng, and Chen Zhongqi was just an operator. There were too many people behind him. Do you think Fang Zheng is a failure for someone who could make almost the whole of Da Xi want to kill him?
Is that so?
An Zheng asked himself.
At least he lost on his own quest for justice.
Perhaps not. Death did not mean failure.
When An Zheng walked to the entrance of the relay station, he saw Yin Zhiting standing there and looking at him. His hand was holding onto the Embroidered Spring Sabre by her waist, which was the standard weapon used by the Da Xi Ming Fa Si. The Embroidered Spring Saber in his hand was personally given to him by An Zheng at the time. That day, An Zheng gave a black Flying Fish Robe and an Embroidered Spring Saber to Yin Zhiting. Tell him that from today on, you are a man of justice.
“Where did you go?”
Yin Zhiting’s eyes were a little cold. Even in the darkness of the night, it was hard to hide the glint in her eyes.
An Zheng replied with a question, “Where did I go have anything to do with you?”
Yin Zhiting held onto the handle of her blade tightly: “I want to talk to you alone.”
An Zheng was quiet for a moment, then slowly nodded: “Alright.”
Yin Zhiting turned and strode forward with An Zheng following behind him. The more she looked at the familiar figure, the more she felt that she was unfamiliar.
The two of them crossed the street, one in front of the other. It seemed to pass through the world of the present and return to the world of the past.
In front of him was an empty space. It should be the gathering place of Peacock City, and it was very spacious. There was no one living in the surrounding area. Yin Zhiting’s footsteps stopped, and she turned around to look at An Zheng: “Although I don’t know why you suddenly arrived at Tsukiko, or if it has something to do with me. But there’s something in your eyes that scares me... I don’t know why, but I don’t like it. ”
An Zheng looked at Yin Zhiting: “So you want to kill me?”
Yin Zhiting was startled for a moment, “I saw you do it before, when you killed that Jin Sian En, so I knew I couldn’t kill you. I asked you out because I wanted to know one thing... You came to the Tsukiko for Xu Meidai? ”
An Zheng nodded, “Yes.”
“What’s your relationship with her?”
“Old friend.”
Yin Zhiting’s expression clearly changed, “You are very young and have never gone to the Da Xi Empire before. That’s why I find it hard to understand why you said that you are old friends with her. However, an old friend of hers died in State of Yan, what kind of relationship do you have with that person? ”
An Zheng laughed coldly: “Didn’t you say that he definitely didn’t die?”
Yin Zhiting’s face gradually paled: “You … Is it really related to that person? ”
An Zheng stepped forward, and approached Yin Zhiting, step by step: “Are you happy?”
This sudden question caused Yin Zhiting to almost collapse: “You … “What do you mean?”
An Zheng walked in front of Yin Zhiting, and the two were so close that they could even clearly hear each other’s breathing. An Zheng looked into Yin Zhiting’s eyes, and asked word by word: “I’m asking you, what did you get after betraying him? Are you happy with all these things you have? ”
Yin Zhiting suddenly laughed so hard that her face had turned sinister, “I knew it, you must have come because of him. So you came to kill me, right? Ha ha-ha ha … “The day that I feared the most had finally come. It was finally here …”
An Zheng shook his head: “You are just feeling guilty, if it was another person from the State of Yan, you would also have the same suspicions. You’re not afraid of me, you’re afraid of the ghost in your own heart. ”
Yin Zhiting fell to the ground, she cried and laughed at times, and then she said crazily, “I …”
He raised his head to look at An Zheng, and suddenly wailed: “I was wrong … I know I was wrong. ”
