So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Located deep in the Western Region, a Bodhisattva in white stands quietly under an ancient tree, looking as if through many mountains and forests, directly to Nalanduo Temple.

"Have you thought it through? It is not a good thing to agree to the Lord of Reincarnation's request. It will eventually involve the Western Region in this dispute."

In this place of pilgrimage in the hearts of countless people in the Western Region, an old monk wearing cassocks clasped his hands together. He looked old, and there was a golden light shining behind his head, adding a bit of sacred aura.

Although he was clearly in Nalanduo Temple, the gentle voice of the old monk seemed to reach under the ancient trees through the mountain peaks: "Today's Dongzhou is too strong, and many powerful people attach great importance to Mu Zhian. If there is reincarnation, If the two masters join forces to take away Mu Zhian, I am afraid that there will be endless revenge from Dongzhou. "

Three days ago, the Lord of Samsara came to see the Bodhisattva in White, and finally expressed his cooperation.

The Bodhisattva in White's eyes are as clear as glass without a trace of emotion, and his cold and melodious voice reveals a charm that is enough to make people feel calm:

"Xiao Leiyin Temple once offended Dongzhou. At that time, Dongzhou recorded this account throughout the Western Regions. Now that Xiaoleiyin Temple has been destroyed, people in the Western Regions believe in Nalando. But now not only The fortunes of the Daqian Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions are also declining. "

"If this progress continues, within a hundred years, all the countries will be destroyed... By then, the Western Region will have entered a period of decline for a long time. But if there is luck, the situation will be completely different."

There was a glint in the old monk's eyes: "The condition proposed by the Lord of Reincarnation is to exchange luck with us?"

The white-clothed Bodhisattva stepped on the lotus with her delicate jade feet, her face was cold, and she nodded slightly and said: "With a huge national destiny, even if the countries perish in the future, it will not affect the destiny of the entire Western Region. Only in this way can we be qualified to impact the emergence and ascension. ”

The cultivation methods of the Western Regions are very special, and they also have a special way to increase their strength, which is to use the power of faith of the creatures in the Western Regions for their own use, and then temporarily become immortals.

If the power of faith is enough, one can even use the power of faith to attack the Feathering Realm.

But the power of faith is not invincible. First, the power of faith is produced by the creatures in the Western Regions. Once the countries in the Western Regions are destroyed and the people are displaced, the power of faith will weaken.

Second, the power of faith can only be used in the Western Region.

The Buddha at Xiaoleiyin Temple was eager to prevent the Qing Emperor from ascending to heaven and entering the realm of Dongzhou, so he was killed before he could even use the power of faith.

And the power of faith in Xiaoleiyin Temple now belongs to Nalanda.

"I heard that after Mu Zhian realized the Tao, he had a natural cauldron of the Ascension Realm. If a monk of the opposite sex practices with him a few times, he will be qualified to attack the Ascension Realm." The old monk said slowly.

The glass-like clear eyes of the female Bodhisattva were still calm, staring into the distance without sadness or joy, and said calmly: "It is ultimately inferior to rely on others to achieve immortality and ascension, and the right way is to achieve immortality and ascension with faith in living beings."

The natural furnace cauldron may be an irresistible temptation for female cultivators in Kyushu, but in the Western Region, especially in the eyes of female Bodhisattvas, this is just the evil way.

The so-called natural furnace is not enough to make her have any emotional fluctuations, let alone desire.

"What does the Lord of Reincarnation want us to do?" the old monk asked.

"The first generation Lord of Samsara brought his disciples back to the Forbidden Land of Samsara. There will be a big battle in the Forbidden Land of Samsara in the future. She hopes to take this opportunity to completely educate her master."

"Besides, the Lord of Samsara wants to get Mu Zhian. But I guess that the Lord of Samsara is not the only person involved in this matter. The last time the dynasty was destroyed, Isis in the Immortal Forbidden Land got a huge national fortune. This time Among the collaborators, she is probably one of them.”

The old monk clasped his hands together and sighed softly: "After this time, I'm afraid the Western Region will also be involved in this dispute."

The female Bodhisattva's expression is still calm. Her appearance is completely different from that of Dongzhou. She is a very typical Western Region race. Although her appearance is hazy, her facial features can still be seen as delicate.

Hearing this, she replied in a cold tone: "The coming of heaven is imminent, and no force in Kyushu can be alone. In any case, the national destiny has an irreplaceable role in the Western Regions. For the Western Regions, the value of the national destiny is higher than that of Mu Zhi install."

The old monk nodded slowly.

For other forces, national destiny is simply something to stabilize the dynasty, but for the Western Regions, only by stabilizing the dynasty can the power of faith be maintained.

After all, the Western Region has been planning for so long, isn’t it just for the day when it will become immortal?

"Has Nanhuang agreed?" the old monk asked slowly.

There has been a lot of secret cooperation between the Western Region and the Southern Wilderness for a long time, but now that the Three Pillar Gods are dead, no one knows what the attitude of the sole master of the Southern Wilderness is towards the Western Region.

The female Bodhisattva's tone was indifferent, and there seemed to be no emotion in her glass-like eyes.

A cold voice then sounded: "Xue Yi, the God of Space, has agreed to this cooperation. She will help us capture Mu Zhian."

…

After entering the back mountain and walking along a jungle path for a while, you can see a unique courtyard.

There is a vast expanse of white snow, and there is a smokeless charcoal fire burning quietly in the courtyard, adding a bit of warmth.

Lan Mulian was sitting opposite the master, holding a cup of hot tea and a chess box next to him.

Opposite to the senior sister, Mu Zhian saw a beautiful woman with a plump figure wearing a black dress. She was twisting a chess piece in her hand and looked like she was thinking about the chess game.

I should be the only male cultivator in the sect who can freely enter and exit Liangyi Peak and even the residence of the sect master... Mu Zhian felt a little emotional, but also a little regretful, because from the current situation, the sect master, this big shark, is a little too big to fit in his fish pond. If she really comes in one day, the fish in his fish pond may be killed and injured.

After all, Yao Meng, this big shark, has been invincible in the past, but she didn't let her suffer when facing the sect master.

But then again, the sect master sister has seen me since I was a child, and then began to lay out until I grew up... It seems wrong to think about it this way, as if I am the fish in her fish pond? !

Then again, the black and white dresses of the senior sister and the sect leader are really beautiful, especially the sect leader's dress today, which looks a little dark, but it just highlights the whiteness of her skin, and the waist belt also outlines the size of her chest, and it's no problem to say that she has a slender waist.

And... did she put on some light makeup? It feels that her lips seem to be much more rosy than usual, and the color is smooth... Did she dress up deliberately?

Senior sister and the sect master's sister are a perfect pair of master and disciple... Mu Zhian was just thinking about it, Shang Yanfei withdrew her eyes from the chessboard, propped up her chin and looked at him, her voice pleasant: "What do you want? If you come to see your senior sister, do you need me to step aside?"

Mu Zhian came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, but I have some questions in my cultivation that can't be answered, so I came to see the sect master presumptuously, hoping to get the sect master to answer my doubts."

Shang Yanfei raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared in her bright and moving light golden eyes: "Sit down for a while, and we can talk after I finish the game."

Mu Zhian nodded, and then sat next to the senior sister to watch the chess game.

Then he couldn't help but look at the pretty and cold face of the senior sister a few more times. He didn't expect that the senior sister was still in the upper hand when playing against the sect master...

Mu Zhian was thinking about this, but suddenly found that the chess pieces on the chessboard seemed to have changed silently, and one of the white pieces quietly turned black.

For a moment, he even thought that he was dazzled. He subconsciously looked a few more times. After confirming that he was not mistaken, he secretly glanced at Shang Yanfei.

The sect master sat quietly on the chair. Occasionally, snowflakes mixed with cold wind blew through the courtyard, blowing her hair slightly messy. She was staring at the chess game calmly, as if nothing had happened.

No wonder Yao Meng said before that the sect master's sister was a sultry girl. It was too despicable to cheat in front of the disciples, and it was more than once...Mu Zhian calmly retracted his gaze and glanced at the senior sister, thinking about whether he should remind her in some way.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a different touch on his calf.

This also made his thoughts in his mind interrupted for a short time, and he looked down subconsciously.

Someone kicked him lightly from under the table, and then the foot casually rested on the back of his foot.

The delicate and small white feet were crystal clear, and the toes were painted with light pink nail polish, with a transparent texture like jelly.

Going up along the back of the foot, you can see a slender black anklet on her ankle, and a little higher is the black skirt swaying gently in the wind.

Mu Zhian's heart beat slightly, and he glanced at the sect master sister sitting opposite him calmly.

She was playing with a black chess piece in her hand, turning the chess piece flexibly with her fingertips, and her eyes were always on the chessboard.

She was extremely beautiful and charming, and there was no change in her expression at all.

Is the sect master sister warning me not to get in the way... Mu Zhian had to suppress many thoughts in his heart for the time being, and was about to watch the game between the master and the apprentice quietly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a slender hand quietly covering the back of his hand under the table. The cool and soft touch of the girl's hand made Mu Zhian's heart jump slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Lan Mulian's cold expression.

When did the senior sister become so bold? She used to be very obedient in front of the sect master, but today...

Mu Zhian was secretly surprised, but soon relieved.

No, it should not be just the senior sister who is bold, Lan Shihuai's spiritual consciousness should also affect her... Maybe it was Lan Shihuai's suggestion.

Mu Zhian didn't dare to move at all, for fear that his slight movement would attract the attention of the two, so he had to freeze in place and watch the game between the master and the apprentice.

Until a while later, Lan Mulian quickly withdrew her hand as if she felt that this was too obvious.

Just when Mu Zhian thought he could rest assured, he suddenly felt that the other instep was also gently stepped on.

What's wrong with the Sect Master today? Although I don't hate him, it's too much in front of Senior Sister... Mu Zhian's eyelids twitched slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Shang Yanfei, but the woman seemed not to notice and stared at the chessboard quietly.

Mu Zhian lowered his head and glanced at her. Just when he was about to stop her, he suddenly froze.

This is not the Sect Master...

This is Senior Sister!

Mu Zhian's body was slightly tense. Even though he was used to seeing big storms, his expression was a little tense at this moment.

Calm down, finish things as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible... Mu Zhian kept giving himself psychological hints, and finally calmed down slowly.

Then, he quietly summoned the Heavenly Qi in his body.

The Heavenly Qi emitted a faint and soft halo, and then under Mu Zhian's control, it changed from the original chain into a ball of light.

The ball of light first circled around Mu Zhian for a while, and then, as if it had sensed something, it suddenly flew towards Concubine Shang Yanfei.

Then it quickly jumped into her arms.

Not only Sister Meng Rou, the Heavenly Qi also had a natural intimacy with the Sect Master... Mu Zhian's eyes shrank slightly.

He was a little fooled. If the Heavenly Qi had not shown such intimacy to Yuan Luo before, Mu Zhian even really thought that the Heavenly Qi was a thing that followed the owner's temperament, and it would be so intimate as long as it was a beautiful beauty.

"Aren't you going to take your things back?"

At this moment, a cold and pleasant voice suddenly sounded, and Shang Yanfei's eyes had moved away from the chessboard at some point, and she was looking at the boy with a smile.

When he looked into those beautiful golden eyes, for a moment, Mu Zhian felt as if he had been seen through from head to toe.

"Sorry, this Heavenly Qi sometimes disobeys my words and runs out on its own."

Mu Zhian explained, and then with a thought, the Heavenly Qi that was originally curled up in Shang Yanfei's arms returned to his side silently.

Although Mu Zhian had guessed this possibility long before he came to see Shang Yanfei, he was actually a little confused when he saw the Heavenly Qi taking the initiative to get close to the Sect Master.

The Heavenly Qi reacted to both Sister Meng Rou and the Sect Master at the same time... It's impossible that there are actually two immortals who have ascended to the fairyland, right?

The courtyard fell into a subtle silence until a while later, Shang Yanfei dropped a black piece into the chessboard and said softly: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"No——"

Mu Zhian was startled.

Then he sighed: "No, I'll take my leave first."

The master already knew why he came to see her this time.

Lan Mulian silently glanced at the departing boy, and then her eyes stayed on the peerless master for a long time with a complex look.

The heavy snow outside the window fell from the sky, revealing a little chill, and Shang Yanfei's dress was particularly eye-catching and charming in the silver-white world.

After watching Mu Zhian leave, Shang Yanfei turned her eyes back to the chessboard.

Just as she took out a black piece from the chess box, she suddenly heard a cold voice from beside her: "Does the master like him too?"

Shang Yanfei's fingers paused slightly when she picked up the chess piece, and her body stiffened slightly.

It was not until a while later that she gradually relaxed again.

"Did the Lan Shihuai in your body tell you?" she asked softly.

"No."

Lan Mulian said lightly: "It's just pure intuition. He is not as respectful in front of the master as before. If it were in the past, he would not dare to keep peeping at you like he did just now."

"I can feel that the way my junior brother looks at you is different from before."

Shang Yanfei was startled, and her cold face showed a rare look of surprise and emotion. She said softly: "Intuition is really terrible."

Lan Mulian raised her cold and bright eyes: "I will find the changes in your feelings with him. Is this also in the master's plan?"

"It's just an accident."

She stared at her disciple, with a tenderness of pity in her beautiful eyes: "Even I am not omnipotent."

"When did the master start to like him?" Lan Mulian suddenly asked.

Shang Yanfei was silent for a long time, then she opened her red lips and whispered something.

Lan Mulian's autumn water eyes slowly widened, as if incredible, looking at her master in astonishment.

…

After returning to Tianhe Garden, Mu Zhian happened to find two eight-treasure cranes hidden in Lin Ling's ring in her room, so he caught one and roasted it.

In the afternoon, he enjoyed Nai Xi's lap pillow in Tianhe Garden, while discussing with Yuan Luo in his heart.

"You haven't said a word since you entered Liangyi Peak just now. Are you afraid of being noticed by the Sect Master?" Mu Zhian asked in his heart.

"Also, why does the Heavenly Dao Qi react to both the Sect Master and Sister Meng Rou at the same time?"

"Isn't that nonsense? The rules in Liangyi Sect are completely determined by your Sect Master sister. If I had communicated with you when I entered Liangyi Peak before, I guess she would have noticed my existence instantly."

Yuan Luo's lazy voice sounded.

Then he continued: "I don't know why the Heavenly Dao Qi is close to both of them at the same time... Logically speaking, the only two people who can refine the Heavenly Dao Qi should be you and Master Jiyuan."

Even the new Heavenly Dao, who claims to be omnipotent, is a little confused at this moment.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment: "How about I try it on everyone from now on? Let's see if there is something wrong with the Heavenly Qi, or just the two of them."

"That's fine." Yuan Luo nodded in response.

Mu Zhian came back to his senses slightly, and then summoned the Heavenly Qi that was emitting a pale white light.

"Heavenly Qi? Why did Mu Lang summon it for no reason?"

Bai Ruoxi was sitting on a bench in the courtyard, combing Mu Zhian's hair carefully with her fingertips, and suddenly saw the soft white light, and couldn't help asking curiously.

The Heavenly Qi didn't react to Ruoxi... Mu Zhian calmly placed his hand on the back of her hand and smiled, "It's okay, I just feel that the light here is a little dim, so I just add some light."

Bai Ruoxi's autumn-like eyes looked at the Heavenly Qi with suspicion, but she didn't think much about it. Her fingertips gently touched the boy's hair, enjoying the peaceful afternoon snow scene in the courtyard.

After nearly half a quarter of an hour, the space in the courtyard of the two suddenly rippled gently, breaking this peaceful time.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, and the soft and weak gesture on her face restrained a little. Looking at the direction of the space fluctuation, she said coldly: "Whoever is there, there is no need to play tricks."

As her voice fell, a sharp crack like an eye pupil suddenly tore open in the space.

In the crack, a figure could be vaguely seen.

A gorgeous white dress like gauze, a beautiful posture that is weak and pitiful, and those gentle eyes that seem to be able to embrace everything... and those small jade feet stepping on crystal-colored high-heeled sandals.

The space behind her seems to produce ripples with her steps.

Mu Zhian looked over, and after a brief look, he finally recognized the other person's identity.

"... Xue Yi?"

After recognizing the other person's identity, Mu Zhian subconsciously asked: "Why are you here?"
