Puzzle Solving Discussion
Qing Yue'er followed Shangguan You who stepped on top of the white clouds to approach the building there. He did not see anyone wandering around the place. But here it is very quiet. It's like the abode of immortals.
After arriving in front of the building, Qing Yue'er only realized that the building did not have a closed door. Unfortunately even so, he was still unable to see into the depths of the house. He himself did not dare to circulate his spirit power to explore. Instead of what, it was a form of her courtesy to an older, respectable person.
Shangguan You knelt in front of the building. "Teacher, your student is here."
Silent. There's no answer whatsoever. Qing Yue'er looked at Shangguan You curiously. Han Qiong once said that his teacher was very difficult to find. Perhaps now they would also have a hard time meeting him.
"Will he not meet us?" Qing Yue'er asked in a whispered manner.
"I'm not sure" said Shangguan You. Then he went back to talking to his teacher. "Teacher, Shangguan You is here together with disciple Han Qiong."
The wind rustled out Qing Yue'er's black hair. A moment later an old voice sounded from the depths of the building. "Who allowed you to bring a stranger?"
Shangguan You was about to reply but was immediately prevented by Qing Yue'er. He wants to say his own purpose. Others may not know, but he came here with an important purpose. It wasn't that he greatly admired the master teacher's grandfather like the false excuse he had told Shangguan You.
Finally he said, "I live in solitude. There's no one I really trust. However, I can't let it go to waste. My time probably won't be much left. So whoever finds this writing, look at my clues."
Shangguan You looked at Qing Yue'er in confusion. Is this girl daydreaming? Why did he say such absurd words? However, just as he was thinking in wonder he suddenly heard the voice of his teacher again.
"Girl, you can come in."
"...."
Shangguan You was stunned. Did he not hear wrong? He did not understand why his teacher allowed Qing Yue'er to just with a sentence that seemed to be telling one's fate. If he knew this then he had already said such a sentence long ago. And now that he already knew how to meet his teacher then he could use it in the future right?
Qing Yue'er did not know what Shangguan You was thinking. Perhaps the old man was surprised that he was welcome to go in to see his teacher. Whatever it is he doesn't care about it. Now he focused on himself stepping foot into the building.
He passed through the doorway and was faced with a very unfamiliar room. When he first entered, what was in front of him was a passageway that directed him to go deeper inside. Without hesitation, he stepped into the hallway until he ended up in a closed room.
He could not see much because there was a curtain closing the room. So when he arrived, he could only see the shadow of someone sitting leaning against a chair. Too faint, he was unable to see it clearly.
Qing Yue'er bowed to give her greetings. After all, that person was a teacher's grandfather to him. "Xinyu greeted Grandpa Master."
The person sitting behind the curtain did not move. However, his voice remained audible in Qing Yue'er's ears. "So you're Han Qiong's student?"
"That's right," Qing Yue'er replied.
"So what do you want to ask?" The man asked directly. It seemed like he had already guessed the intent of Qing Yue'er's arrival.
"About the stone runes," said Qing Yue'er, "the stone house and the Devil's Gorge. I'm sure Grandpa Master knows what I mean."
"I think you're meeting the wrong person."
"meaning?"
The man did not answer directly. Qing Yue'er could see the old man raising his head. He suddenly sensed that his teacher's grandfather was staring at him from within. How to stare so thoroughly that it feels like being skinned by someone else.
"So you've come to the Devil's Abyss?" ask the teacher.
Qing Yue'er could not shake her head. He could only nod and admit it honestly. "Yes, I once came to that horrible place."
"Then there you went into the stone house, saw many inscriptions and runes. And also ...," said the teacher's grandfather in a slightly hung voice, "stone box."
Awe instantly entered Qing Yue'er's heart. He felt surprised because the old man could actually figure it all out without him having to tell the details. It's actually pretty scary. One might not be able to truly keep a secret in front of that person. There was a nervousness inside him. He was afraid that the old man could find his hidden secrets.
Qing Yue'er was hesitant whether to tell the truth or not. It should be that if the teacher's grandfather already knew about it, he wouldn't have to ask, right? Is it possible that he can't see it?
It was true what Qing Yue'er had in mind. The old man indeed could not see through Qing Yue'er. He was only able to spy on the surface, unable to know in detail. Actually he was quite surprised. It was as if something was obstructing his vision. It felt like there was a certain power that prevented others from peeling into Qing Yue'er. But he himself did not know what it was.
It's quite interesting. It seems that girl is no ordinary girl. And Han Qiong had found a good seedling. Then he closed his eyes. "Why do you doubt? You might open it and find a riddle, and then you run here to ask a few questions."
Qing Yue'er nodded. "That's the truth."
"Unfortunately I could never open the box myself." This speech made Qing Yue'er stunned. So actually this person was unable to open the stone box? How come?
If judged in terms of strength, Qing Yue'er was very confident that the old man was definitely much stronger. Perhaps approaching the heavenly realm? Ah, it's really scary. Even so, it turned out that person was still unable to open the stone box? This reality managed to shock Qing Yue'er.
It seemed like the criteria for opening the stone box was not on one's strength. Then what is it? He himself opened the stone box using his blood droplets. Could it be because of a bloodline? Only this allows the answer.
"I only managed to enter the stone house and was unable to open the stone box that was there. That was years ago, too," said the teacher's grandfather.
Qing Yue'er lowered her head to think of something. "Does Grandpa Master want to know the contents?"
"So you opened it." The teacher's grandfather muttered. He nodded his head with a feeling of satisfaction. The younger generation did not disappoint. "I'll hear it if you want to say it."
Qing Yue'er smiled. "Standing above the valley, he is the most holy thing. She's white and beautiful. Unfortunately, his attitude was too arrogant." He tried to observe the changes that had happened to the old man. Unfortunately, that person still did not get much action.
"It's too hard." Only that sentence sounded from the inside. However, after a while she spoke again, "She is white and beautiful. How many white and beautiful creatures are there in this world? Even you alone with this robe will be white and beautiful. A stork is also white and beautiful, a bottle of poselen can be white and beautiful. However, not everything white and beautiful is something holy."
Qing Yue'er shook her head in disapproval. "That's not what makes it too complicated."
"You have other thoughts?" ask the teacher.
"Yes. There was a sentence that denied her purity due to her overly arrogant nature. Does Grandpa Master think it's still something holy?" Qing Yue'er smiled faintly. "I mean, I don't think there's anything holy but also arrogant at the same time."
The teacher's grandfather finally let out a loud and distinctive laugh. Then the curtains that blocked their interaction instantly blushed. Qing Yue'er instantly saw how the person inside looked like. He was an old man wearing white clothes. His hair and beard are also bleached. However, his face still looked fresh and there was an air of immortality all around him.
Qing Yue'er immediately felt a sense of reverence in her heart the first time she saw. He could not refuse to bow once more with more sincere feelings.
"Sit down" said the old man.
Qing Yue'er complied and sat down on the chair opposite the teacher's grandfather. He was happy to be treated with respect when asked to sit down. Perhaps only certain people could come face to face with the old man.
"Your name is Xinyu?" asked the teacher's grandfather who was immediately replied with a nod by Qing Yue'er.
"What you said is absolutely true. If something has an arrogant nature then it cannot be said to be holy. Not all things are like that."
Qing Yue'er looked at the teacher's grandfather in a daze. He still doesn't understand what it means. Noticing his confusion, the teacher's grandfather smiled. "High and powerful figure. More precisely the eternal figure and away from earthly life is something that remains sacred."
"Why is that?" qing Yue'er asked.
"Because to be strong one has to sacrifice many things. In the past it may be seen as dirty, but in the future when it becomes immortal, all its vices are erased."
Qing Yue'er finally understood. "Then the figure meant by the person named Hua was something alive. And the greatest possibility is something other than humans."
"Why do you think that?" It was the teacher's turn to ask.
"I know, it's not human." Qing Yue'er said confidently. He had thought through all of his relationships carefully. And now he had found the approximate answer!
