C1775 One Who Breaks an Agreement
How old was she this year? Where did it come from?
These two questions aimed at Taoist Hongchen were undoubtedly the ones that all those who believed that the Celestial Clouds Mountain was the Immortal Mountain and Taoist Hongchen was one of the immortals' most wanted to know.
But the thing that was different from those fools was that Yang Xue had grown up in Celestial Clouds Monastery since childhood.
Half-blooded Yang Xue, did not know who her biological parents were. After she had just become sensible, she had already lived in the Celestial Clouds Monastery and was raised by other Daoist nuns. Since she was young, she had already seen Taoist Hongchen countless times.
On the surface, Yang Xue appeared to be in her thirties, but in reality, she was already over sixty years old. This had a lot to do with the environment she lived in, her training and her eating habits.
However, ever since she was young, Taoist Hongchen's appearance had never changed. Other than his white hair, he had never aged.
A person who had lived in the Celestial Clouds Monastery since sixty years ago could see Taoist Hongchen at any time. However, during these years, Taoist Hongchen had never spoken to her more than ten times.
She didn't know why Taoist Hongchen was still able to maintain such a face 60 years later.
The closer they got to certain legends, the more they realized that those legends were actually not legends, but likely true.
It was just like Yang Xue who had been living in the Celestial Clouds Monastery from sixty years ago. Until now, she still did not know Taoist Hongchen's age and origin.
She, like the normal nuns, was the closest person to Taoist Hongchen. However, she didn't know how old Taoist Hongchen was or where he came from.
This, was probably the most infuriating part.
Since more than forty years ago, Yang Xue had always hoped to be able to leave the Celestial Clouds Monastery, and forever leave this Taoist Hongchen, who had never even looked at her, even if he died. So, she had joined the 'Hurricane' organization that had gone to the continent to assassinate her.
Fortunately, or perhaps unluckily, Yang Xue managed to return to the Celestial Clouds Monastery alive in the end.
Then came decades of life with a heart as still as water.
It was a nice way to put it.
As a matter of fact, this kind of dull and boring life made Yang Xue go crazy: there was no electrical appliances here, and there was no dance hall that would make people feel nostalgic when they went down the mountain a few decades ago.
There were those who meditated, recited scriptures, trained, and waited in silence for themselves and their companions to be like them. They would slowly grow old, close their eyes forever, and sleep in a coffin suspended on the cliff at the back of the mountain.
Does this life make sense?
Life is better than death!
Dozens of years ago, when she descended the mountain, Yang Xue enjoyed a short three years of prosperity, and tasted the taste of a man … It was impossible to forget that every night for dozens of years, that feeling of being able to eat the marrow and understand the taste had tortured her to death and made her unable to endure more and more.
But she had to endure it, because she knew that if she didn't have Taoist Hongchen's permission, she would absolutely not descend the mountain on her own, or else the consequence would be that she would be like a comrade called Li Ming, nailed to the cliff by the sea by four long nails.
Li Ming had died for a full four days, and she'd already lost the ability to commit suicide, yet she still retained the ability to wail.
What sort of concept was it to die four days in one person?
Every time she recalled that Li Ming wasn't a human and wailed in grief, a flame in Yang Xue's heart would be extinguished like a ladle of cold water being poured over her.
In the eyes of others, Taoist Hongchen might be an immortal immortal.
However, in Yang Xue's heart, she was a true devil!
It was her that caused all the disciples within the Celestial Clouds Monastery to not dare to descend the mountain without permission, so they could only accompany her in slowly dying of old age within the sect.
Yang Xue wasn't willing to give up, but she didn't have the strength to fight back. All she could do was wait.
Wait for someone from somewhere, take her away.
Yang Xue knew that she was an orphan, and was different from Li Ming and the other orphans. Li Ming and the others were people born and raised in the East, whereas she came from the Western World.
came from a very mysterious place in the Western World.
That place, was precisely the Atlantis.
Strictly speaking, Yang Xue was raised in Celestial Clouds Monastery and together with 196 of her comrades who came from the west, she had some sort of mission on her shoulders.
After dozens of years of a hurricane and the collision of cliffs, only fifteen of the 196 comrades managed to return alive.
Just these fifteen people, upon their return, had been completely sealed within the Celestial Clouds Monastery and had not taken a single step out of it until their deaths.
"When can we return to our world?"
Yang Xue finally couldn't help but ask after her last comrade died due to serious injuries.
His comrade answered Yang Xue's question before he died, "It is said that only when an envoy from Atlantis appears can they leave the Celestial Clouds Mountain and not be punished by Taoist Hongchen."
"When will the envoys of the Atlantis arrive in the Eastern Lands?"
"I don't know. I've been waiting for too long, but it still hasn't arrived. Perhaps they have already forgotten about us."
These words were the last words his comrade said before he died.
maybe he had forgotten about the people he sent to the Eastern Lands due to the Atlantis.
Every time she thought about her comrade-in-arms from the Atlantis who had said those words before they died, Yang Xue's heart would hurt.
Because, she didn't want to die tragically like Li Ming.
A dull old death seemed to be much better than a tragic death, right?
However, when Yang Xue had completely accepted her fate, God gave her hope!
On the eve of the National Day in the Divine Empire, Taoist Hongchen was in closed-door training. A guest had come from afar from the Atlantis, changing Yang Xue's fate.
The messenger from the Atlantis took out a strange token and placed it on the altar in the hall. He didn't wait for Taoist Hongchen to come out before leaving with Yang Xue.
Someone was waiting for Yang Xue under the Celestial Clouds Mountain.
That person's name is Zheng Fu.
He came from the continent, the current leader of the Cliffs, who had massacred hundreds and thousands of hurricane elites decades ago.
Yang Xue knew him, and he also knew Yang Xue.
Why did Zheng Fu come to the Treasure Island to meet the people in the hurricane, and also through the envoys from the Western Atlantis?
"I want you to deal with someone."
This was Zheng Fu's first sentence after seeing Yang Xue. His tone was like a close friend, unlike the enemies that he had once fought with all his might.
Yang Xue didn't ask who she was going to deal with first, but asked, "Why?"
"From now on, I will tell you in my capacity as the leader of the cliff face that in the armistice signed between the two sides, the agreement that hurricanes were not allowed to return to the mainland is null and void."
When Zheng Fu spoke, he always seemed to be sloppy: "I know, you've been longing for this day for a long time. As long as I appear here, Taoist Hongchen's restriction on you will lose its effect. She will not punish you for going down the mountain without permission. Because, this is my invitation to all of you. "
Although Taoist Hongchen did not create a storm like Yang Xue and the others a few decades ago, she was still the spiritual leader of the Hurricane. After the defeat of the Hurricane War, she signed a 'truce' with the Great Chieftain on the cliff.
Without the permission of the cliff, no one was allowed to set foot on the mainland for the rest of their lives!
This was the only article in the Armistice Agreement.
Now, Great Chieftain Zheng Fu who represented the cliff personally came to Treasure Island's Celestial Clouds Mountain, and invited Hurricane to land on the Divine Empire Continent.
In order to show enough importance, he had even persuaded the envoys from the west to come.
Perhaps, he had come to the Treasure Island after contacting a Western envoy?
However, this was no longer important to Yang Xue.
What was important was that she could finally leave the crestfallen Celestial Clouds Monastery and begin her exciting life!
"Against whom?"
Suppressing the ecstasy in her heart, Yang Xue asked this question.
"Shen Yinbing."
Zheng Fu said a woman's name lightly. Then, he said, "Tomorrow is the good day for her to get married. I hope that you can appear before her before the end of the marriage ceremony and give her a big present."
Zheng Fu took out some information and passed it to Yang Xue: "I'll give you half an hour to look at these." "After you see this, you can decide whether or not you want to agree to my request."
See, I didn't even look at the information. Yang Xue then said slowly: "I agree to it – as long as I can leave the Celestial Clouds Monastery, and don't die like many of my comrades. No matter what I have to do, I won't refuse."
Zheng Fu had expected Yang Xue's reaction.
Therefore, he was not surprised by Yang Xue's answer: "Very good, you can only deal with Shen Yinbing on your trip to the mainland. Besides her, you are not allowed to provoke any other forces, or else it will cause a ruckus on the cliff face. "Of course, you can defend yourself. In other words, when someone other than Shen Yinbing becomes a threat to you, you don't have to hold back and wait for death."
Being trapped inside the Celestial Clouds Monastery since childhood, Taoist Hongchen had never even looked at her once. However, as long as she landed on the continent, it would mean that all the power hidden deep within every part of the Treasure Island would be resurrected.
The hurricane rose up again.
It was an era where the winds are blowing and the blood was surging!
Without hesitation, Yang Xue accepted the invitation from Cliff, and then rushed to the Jinnan of the Divine Empire in the middle of the night to catch Shen Yinbing's wedding.
To be honest, Yang Xue's trip to the mainland was a failure because she was scared off by Gao Fei.
But this really wasn't important. What was important was that when she had landed on the continent, she had an extraordinary significance.
Furthermore, when she left the continent, she brought along a man called Elegant, who had experienced a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.
Thinking about how, at the age of sixty, she could still struggle against this young lad, Yang Xue felt gratitude towards Taoist Hongchen from the bottom of her heart. If she wasn't cultivating wholeheartedly with her, how could she have maintained such a good appearance?
However, she also knew that Taoist Hongchen wouldn't care about her gratitude.
This nun who was so big and had no idea where she came from was definitely angry at her for descending the mountain without permission and stepping onto the mainland.
But what was there?
Yang Xue had come according to the rules. Furthermore, she believed that Taoist Hongchen must have seen the jade token left behind by the envoy from the west: those were people from Yang Xue's' family '. They had the right to call back the children that they had raised in the East for more than sixty years.
Am I finally going to leave this nun and return to the hometown that will only appear in my dreams?
What kind of existence was Atlantis?
Was it really at the South Pole, or under the ocean?
Was it like the Liubo Mountain of the Eastern Lands, a person who lived for eternity?2
Eternal life, forever maintaining the current appearance, living the life she likes -- Yang Xue thought of this, the corner of her mouth slowly raised a yearning smile, and found that Taoist Hongchen opened his eyes.
