The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 589 Ashes
As wisdom declines, the level of planning will naturally drop sharply. The most intuitive manifestation is that when planning something, you always take it for granted without considering whether others will respond in the way you want.

On the other hand, Zhao Chen would make multiple plans in case of emergency unless he had no other choice but to take a gamble.

Of course, this may also be because he has been a "powerful person" for a long time and has become accustomed to calculating everything with his fingers, and rarely makes plans that may uncertainly involve other people's reactions.

Bai Nongmei was stunned for several seconds before her expression turned helpless. She sighed and said, "If it were in reality, it would not be difficult to destroy it... but this is the 'Heart Realm'. The 'Fruit of Desire' is extremely hot, endless, and almost immortal. The only thing that can 'calm' it down is 'Heart Ice'."

She paused here, and looked at Zhao Chen with moist eyes, "Maybe... maybe what Joy Bodhisattva wants is sealed in the 'heart ice', so she needs the 'fruit of desire'.

"Sir, you have amazing magical powers. If you have a chance later, why not use the 'Fruit of Desire' to melt the 'Soul Ice' first and take the treasure away in advance."

Her expression was very charming, as if she was really planning for Zhao Chen.

This plan failed, so he came up with a new one? Maybe he was trying to trick me into using this "fruit of hatred" directly? If I didn't know that at least three "fruits of desire" were needed to melt the "heart ice", I might have really tried it.

But once tried, for Lu Chunyang, it was like "the meat is rotten in the pot."

This little calculation is really smart!
While he sneered in his heart, Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "If I have a chance, I will try and will never let Joy Bodhisattva succeed in his plan."

If you keep your opponent in suspense, you have to relax and tense up alternately. If you make him suffer a loss every time, the show will not go on.

This guy has the ability to turn the table over. If he really gets angry, Zhao Chen will have to waste a lot of star coins.

Upon hearing this, Bai Nongmei was visibly relieved, and then she burst into laughter, making the entire hall brighter and more brilliant:
"You don't have to worry too much, young master. The master who helped me get rid of the control of the Bodhisattva will not stand idly by. He will probably create an opportunity for you at that time."

This... this is the true method of the Huanxi lineage! The power of "cause and effect" is indeed magical. Lu Chunyang might have reversed the effect and temporarily "loaded" Bai Nongmei herself into his "name"?
Zhao Chen suppressed the slight ripple in his heart and said with a smile: "Master Dongxuan of the Mu family should have entered the ruins. Together with the Qingshi monk who is chasing the Bodhisattva, we have a lot of people to turn to for help.

"Well, even if he is the owner of this place, I'm afraid he won't let Happy Bodhisattva do whatever he wants."

Bai Nongmei showed a worried look on her face: "Master Mu's soul is defective. I am worried that he has been bewitched by Joyful Bodhisattva. It is better not to get too close to him.

"And that Blue Lion, it is just a wisp of 'ash', I'm afraid it can't stop the Bodhisattva for too long."

"She" obviously didn't want Zhao Chen to join forces with Mu Zanglu.

Zhao Chen knew what she was thinking, but he didn't point it out. He just asked in confusion: "Ashes? What does that mean?"

Bai Nongmei thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with telling Zhao Chen, and it would also help to bring them closer, so after organizing her words, she asked back:

"Sir, do you know 'The Mist of History'?"

"I know." Zhao Chen nodded, "That is a magical space-time that can only be created by the 'Star God' and the 'Innate Five'."

The "Historical Fog" may have sealed up fragments of a period of time, or it may be a fault in space, or it may be a combination of the two. It is not surprising that the "Candidate" knows about the "Historical Fog"... "Bai Nongmei" nodded and continued: "In the time and space covered by the "Historical Fog", there is no "reliable history", so "fate is uncertain" and everything is possible.

"Many people have tried to enter the 'Mist of History' to change history, but only a few have succeeded... Of course, even if they succeeded, most people in this world would not be able to detect it.

"Well, except for the 'Mist of History', it's not impossible to enter the era of 'reliable history'. It's just that everything there is already confirmed 'history' and cannot be changed by any means.

“Especially for those things that have been confirmed dead or destroyed in ‘reliable history’, they are all the ashes of ‘history’ and there is no possibility of resurrection.

"It is rumored that the authority of 'civilization' can awaken these 'ashes' and allow them to reappear in the world for a short period of time...

"But 'ashes' are 'ashes', they cannot exist for long, they will only be rejected by the world and return to the 'garbage dump' of 'history'.

"That is to say, this relic is located in the 'Heart Realm', and Xuantian's mark of the 'Blue Lion' has not completely dissipated. Otherwise, the Blue Lion monk would have disappeared long ago, and might not have waited until the end of the wedding."

Ashes... So these are ashes! Are there people or things that are confirmed dead in "reliable history"?
The monk was called by Mu Zirong's inscription on the "Lü Gong Monument"... No, to be precise, it was the inscription on the "Lü Gong Monument" that called out to Lü Chunyang, and Lü Chunyang grafted this "cause and effect" onto the "Green Lion".

The magical power of "Thousand Character Classic" originated from ancient Confucianism. Is this the embodiment of the authority of "civilization"?
Although "Confucianism" has not declined as completely as "Buddhism" today, it can also be said to be in decline. After all, among the nine major sects and twelve aristocratic families, only the Meng family can be considered to be a genuine "Confucian" inheritance.

Well...the decline of Buddhism and Shintoism is because their faith has been polluted...

What about "Confucianism"?

Faith is probably one reason, after all, "Confucianism" is actually "Confucianism", but the bigger reason is...

Zhao Chen thought of the strange "civilization" of "steam" and "mystery" in this world, and thought to himself:
Perhaps it is because the teachings of Confucianism can no longer represent "civilization".

Rubbing his forehead, Zhao Chen felt that if he had not completely mastered "Investigator", this conjecture alone would have allowed his cultivation to increase dramatically again.

Retracting his thoughts that had wandered a little too far, Zhao Chen thought that it would not hurt to learn more about things while there was a powerful person who wanted to please him, so he asked again:
"What is a 'brand'?"

These questions are actually not something that a cultivator of the Huanxi lineage who is only at the Gangsha realm should know, but Lu Chunyang did not think much about it. He just frowned and said, "'Brand' refers to traces in many aspects, such as your stories and legends..."

However, before "she" could finish her words, the "pillars" behind the palace opened the "passage" again, and two familiar auras instantly came from the "passage".

Joyful Bodhisattva and Mu Zanglu?

The auras were entangled...are they fighting?
"Bai Nongmei" immediately stopped explaining, looked at Zhao Chen, and then walked carefully into the "passageway".
