"It is said that a master named Yuantong ordered a young monk from the temple to send it to Xue's house and then Xue Chen delivered it to me. Really, if Master Yuantong really wanted to have this fate with me, why didn't he order that one? The young monk directly sent this amulet to me, and it was a lot of trouble to change hands in it, mother, don’t you think so?”
Xia Tan'er complained nonchalantly, but her eyes never left Lu Yimo's expression for a second.
Seeing Lu Yimo's eyes suddenly startled and then happy when he heard the words "Master Yuantong", she knew that Master Yuantong was definitely not an ordinary person.
Being able to have someone convey such words to her made Xia Tan'er have to be wary of Master Yuantong.
"Tan'er, this weird mother, you grew up in a boudoir since you were a child, facing either the court or the backyard. Mother has never told you about the past, but mother has never told your brother either."
"So what happened in the past, and why does Master Yuantong seem to be some kind of extraordinary person from my mother's tone?"
"It's amazing, it's really amazing. He was supposed to be the emperor of the Kyushu Continent. Later, when he was the prince, he suddenly became enlightened and became a Buddhist monk. But his predictions were extremely accurate. Before he became a monk, he once said that the Kyushu Continent would fall apart in the future. , and just as he said, the four generals who guarded the east, west, south, and north rebelled one after another, and only then did the four kingdoms become what they are today."
"I didn't expect that there was such a story. Then, what else did Master Yuantong say?"
"The Four Kingdoms are in a powerful alliance and the Jiuzhou Continent is really divided. Because Master Yuantong has predicted this, the emperors of the Four Kingdoms are both afraid of Yuantong and can't help but be curious to know their own futures, so they each send people up the mountain to find Master Yuantong to ask, but Master Yuantong... I politely declined these people’s visits on the grounds that I had escaped into Buddhist retreat and no longer cared about the world of mortals.”
"But Master Yuantong still left a message before he traveled around the world."
"What words?"
"The general trend of the world will be united after a long period of separation. In a hundred years, one person will surely unify the nine states."
"A hundred years later? It seems we won't live long enough to unify Kyushu."
When they are reunited after a hundred years, she should have nothing to do with it, Xia Tan'er thought and couldn't help but nodded.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yimo glanced at her helplessly.
"Master Yuantong is over a hundred years old, and it is now nearly a hundred years ago."
"What!"
Xia Tan'er stood up immediately in surprise.
"Mom, do you mean that Master Yuantong is already over a hundred years old?"
"He is one hundred and twenty years old. It has been about ninety years since the founding of the Four Kingdoms. People who have heard that Master Yuantong have said that there is no trace of aging on his face, just like his face when he was in his teens when he escaped into Buddhism. I don’t know how he maintains it. If I have the opportunity in the future, I really need to ask about the maintenance method.”
"This...this is no longer an old goblin."
You said that it is not impossible to live such a long time. There are some people who can live such a long life without relying on technology in modern times. However, the appearance has not changed at all in more than a hundred years. Xia Tan'er really doesn't believe it.
"Tan'er, don't be so rude. Master Yuantong is an eminent monk. Those who have become Buddhas must have their own skills to maintain their appearance. Doesn't it mean that if you always do good deeds and have nothing in your heart, your appearance will be better? Master Yuantong doesn't It’s very reasonable for ordinary people to be magical, so don’t make a fuss.”
"..."
Xia Tan'er didn't know how to evaluate her for such a shrewd mother actually believed such words.
