The Journey of Flower - Chapter 37

With an immortal’s body, her memory improved significantly. Hua Qian Gu was in the writing room to recite so Bai Zi Hua could listen, there was a lot of content, he freely chose any subject, thankfully she already memorized everything.

Hua Qian Gu recited flawlessly, passing the test. She was busy gloating when Bai Zi Hua unexpectedly gave her more books, five in total, Hua Qian Gu flipped the pages, the books were about the five elements. The books did not have pictures or sounds, full of ancient theories and formulas that were difficult to understand, the dense writing made her dizzy.

“Teacher……”

“You should read the books first, you have to understand the riddles and meanings in the books on your own, if you do not understand after reading once then read again, if you do not understand after reading ten times then read a hundred times, do not ask me, do not ask Tang Bao. Practice the metal element on day one, practice the wood element on day two, practice the water element on day three, and so on, five days each cycle, over and over, never taking a break.”

“Oh right! Teacher, the Xian Jian Games this year……”

“You do not have to attend.”

“Yes, what about next year?”

“You also do not have to attend.” Bai Zi Hua put down the brush in his hand and gave her the paper he just wrote, “When cultivating, hang this in your room.”

Hua Qian Gu looked at the paper, the big word was “Oblivion.” The brush strokes were sturdy and compelling, completely untainted.

“Yes, Teacher.”

Hua Qian Gu respectfully took it to her room and hung it up, she was confused because the word hanging in the meditation room was “tranquility,” Teacher wanted her to be “oblivious,” be “oblivious” about what?

That night, Hua Qian Gu laid on her stomach on her bedding, her hands propping up her chin and dazedly looked at the word for a long time.

Tang Bao held up a paper crane, strenuously unfolding it, crawling onto her head: “Gu Tou! A letter from papa!”

Hua Qian Gu happily popped up to take the letter and read it with Tang Bao. Then she picked up a brush to reply, Tang Bao laid on the other end of the paper to write its reply, it drew a dividing line, not allowing Hua Qian Gu to cross over the line. The letter was sent out when done, Hua Qian Gu suddenly remembered something, had she not reached the Zhi Wei level, how could she use it?

Tang Bao explained: “You can use a mirror, water or any methods, think of who you want to find, an event that happened, and so on…… Of course, if your cultivation is immense, you can use your fingers or your mind, you can know what happens thousands of miles away.”

“Wah, does that mean outsiders will know everything we do at Mount Chang Liu?”

“Mount Chang Liu has a protection barrier, outsiders can’t spy on us. Also, using magic causes a loss in internal energy, which can’t be prolonged over a long period of time. Distance, the strength of the opponent, location, the environment, and so on…… can affect the Zhi Wei level, which is why an object is used in most cases.”

“Can I do it now? Let me find a mirror!” Hua Qian Gu was excited, she eagerly wanted to excel at this, would she not be able to see what Dong Fang Yu Qing and Yun Yin were doing from far away! Haha! How funny!

“My power only allows me to sense people’s existence. What can you do!” Tang Bao stuck out its chin and snorted.

“I’m your mom!” Hua Qian Gu could not find a mirror that was big enough, she ran to the lotus pond in the back courtyard, following Tang Bao’s instruction. However, she looked and looked for a long time, the water surface was smooth like a mirror and did not reflect anything except the crescent moon.

“Who are you thinking of?”

“I want to see Dong Fang!”

“He’s too far away, of course you can’t see him. You have to start with something close. Begin at Jue Qing Hall first, then expand out to Mount Chang Liu, then the entire world.”

“Oh? Can I search for Teacher?”

“Yes, he’s in Jue Qing Hall like you, you can try to search for him, it’s good enough if you can guess where he’s at.”

Hua Qian Gu stopped breathing, her mind cleared, Jue Qing Hall suddenly shrunk into a miniature model. Her eyes were large and could look down to see everything.

Teacher, where could Teacher be?

In his bedroom? Teacher’s bedroom suddenly appeared in the pond, but the image was blurry and shaky. Tang Bao could not believe it, oh mama, could you actually be doing this!!!

Not in the bedroom, what about the writing room? The writing room appeared, the image was clearer than before.

Hua Qian Gu adjusted slowly, gradually understanding what she needed to do, rummaging through Jue Qing Hall over and over again, but still not a trace of Teacher could be found.

“How strange……”

Tang Bao sighed sadly, huh, mama’s power already surpassed its power, mama would probably bully it from now on, huhuhu……

“You shouldn’t search wildly like that, you’re just wasting your internal energy. Start by using your mind to sense Zun Shang’s existence, then where he could be at, that’s how you do it!”

“Oh, I see.”

Hua Qian Gu closed her eyes, used her mind to search carefully again, her body seemingly turned into a breeze blowing from the southeast corner of Jue Qing Hall, passing over the grass, slowly drifting through every corner. Her mind suddenly readjusted, she opened her eyes wide, yelling out in surprise: “I found him!”

Looking down into the pond, Bai Zi Hua’s figure appeared in the rippling waves.

But, but……

Hua Qian Gu was stunned, feeling blood rushing upward, straight to her head, then blood gushed out of her nose.

“Who is it?!” Bai Zi Hua immediately became alert, turned to look up, his piercing cold glare seemed to penetrate through the water, looking straight at Hua Qian Gu. She was so scared her legs shook, a cold sweat broke out and she staggered back a few steps, the image in the pool disappeared.

Tang Bao was also stunned, still looking at the water in a daze, still drooling, causing the fish in the pond to mistakenly think the silly worm was in love with them.

Hua Qian Gu’s nose continued to bleed, like an surging river.

Oh Heaven, what did she see? She could not be dreaming or sleepwalking, right?

Under the silver moon, Great Teacher was bathing alone at the stream that converged with the waterfall. Such a rare view! Oh Heaven, she actually saw Great Teacher’s naked back!

Although it was only for a moment, Teacher’s long hair was loose and blowing forward, exposing the sharp lines of his sculptured back. She did not know, a man’s back could be so beautifully proportioned.

Previously, she only saw his cold face keeping everyone at a distance, but under the moonlight, in the mist, his back was seduction seeping into the bones, his immortality seemed mixed with a little demonic savageness. White and translucent skin, shiny and smooth like jade, the moonlight reflecting off of it stung Hua Qian Gu’s eyes, as if cutting into her heart, which rhythmically beat according to his every move.

The ethereal image was like pure snow, like moonlight, captivating Hua Qian Gu. Even for her who respected Teacher like he was Buddha, she could not help but feel a little strange, the excitement caused her nose to continue bleeding. Just a naked back, but her world had crumbled to ashes.

Although she was still a child, she already read the seven books, almost all the knowledge in the world was in her head, her face blushed crimson as if it was about to explode.

The naked back lingered in her mind, her nosebleed flowed without stopping. While her nose bled she tried to get rid of all the evidence, then finally slipping back into her room, collapsed into bed and had a shameless dream with a lot of drools.

The next morning, she consciously knelt in the main hall, her hands holding a cane.

Bai Zi Hua walked out of the writing room, helplessly looked at her: “What are you doing here?”

“Teacher, I know I was wrong……”

“Wrong? Wrong about what? Tell me…… did you break something or cause a disaster?”

Hua Qian Gu grimaced, finally confessing loudly: “I know I was wrong, I should not spy on you when you’re bathing!”

Bai Zi Hua suddenly choked, he coughed and could not stop. Although his face was without emotions, it switched between turning crimson and turning pale.

He wanted to know who was so powerful to penetrate the protection barriers and complicated traps at Mount Chang Liu and Jue Qing Hall, to spy on him, and he did not discover until it was too late. So it was this little girl, because of the short distance, most of her immortality power came from him so the scent was similar, he was not careful and did not recognize her. Huh……

Hua Qian Gu saw Bai Zi Hua was silent, his face frowning, cold like dying wind or melting frost, he appeared untouchable, impassively glancing at her, completely different from the beautiful image that was like a lotus like a dream floating in the water last night. Her heart pounded with worry. Huhuhu, could Teacher be really angry?

“Teacher, I know I was wrong, I didn’t mean it, I was practicing the Zhi Wei level to see where you were, unfortunately this was when you were bathing. Huhuhu, don’t be angry Teacher, I didn’t see anything, only your naked back……”

Bai Zi Hua was more embarrassed and did not know what to do, Hua Qian Gu was surprised to discover Teacher who seemed like ice that had frozen for thousands of years could look so awkward.

“It is all right, stand up, all appearances are dusts of the world, are emptiness, are obsessions. You go back and study……” Bai Zi Hua’s power was unfathomably deep, if he wanted to search for her, he always knew when he should and should not look for her. Hua Qian Gu was inexperienced so she could not control herself.

“Thank you, Teacher!” Hua Qian Gu happily jumped up, Teacher was very forgiving! Hahaha, if she knew she would have looked longer yesterday.

“The Xian Jian Games will occur in two days, Luo Shi Yi is in charge of everything so that will probably be too much for him, you should go see if he needs help.” Bai Zi Hua said.

“Yes, Teacher! I’m going.” Hua Qian Gu knew the disciples of Shi Zun and Ru Zun were busy with playing or cultivating, everything that needed to be done was pushed onto Luo Shi Yi. Lately, he did not even have time to play with Tang Bao anymore. Tang Bao woke up late every day, saying it slept a lot to cultivate so it was proud of itself for being diligent, promising to quickly be more powerful than its mother.

Bai Zi Hua nodded and walked away.

Hua Qian Gu looked at his sleeves fluttering and untouched by the dusts of the world, her body suddenly froze. The seductive image under the moonlight from last night appeared again, his figure floated before her eyes, warmth surged up to her nose, she quickly pinched it, Amitabha, Amitabha……
