Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Zhou Xuan solemnly nodded and said in a clear voice, "Using bones as food, Lady Lianhua has indeed solved my puzzle. Now that my great puzzle is solved, Lady Lianhua can continue.

Please explain the events of today, why would Master Wu Ya appear in haste and come to the mountains to rescue you,

and what calamities did Yanfutai Buddha Mother encounter in recent months that caused her to remain in the mountains, leaving the Hundred-eyed Child in hunger."

Faced with a series of questions, Lady Lianhua seemed prepared—

she straightened her back right away and said to Zhou Xuan, "In the human world of Jing Country, Yanfutai had ulterior motives. They used me to control enough Jing Country people to divide the human wish power."

"Hmm." Zhou Xuan nodded. He wasn’t agreeing with Lady Lianhua’s point of view, but rather he had heard the strange term "Jing Country people" for the second time.

"Now, those Silver Bororo Flowers have already poisoned enough Jing Country people. Yanfutai feels the time is ripe; what she wants to do is use my soul to become the Eternal Buddha Bridge," Lady Lianhua said.

Zhou Xuan asked again, "What is the Eternal Buddha Bridge?"

"The passage between Jing Country and Buddha Country."

Lady Lianhua said, "Once this passage is formed, Buddha Country will press forward with its army and use Ping Shui Prefecture as their main landing port."

"The people of Buddha Country, each one ferocious and savage, once they descend, Jing Country will cease to be a country."

Lady Lianhua appeared in a state of heart-wrenching distress.

Zhou Xuan said, "So, Master Wu Ya appeared to prevent you from becoming the Eternal Bridge of Buddha Country."

"No... Brother Wu Ya, in order to save me, was willing to become the Eternal Buddha Bridge of Buddha Country himself."

Lady Lianhua sighed and said, "Therefore, Yanfutai hasn’t appeared for months, preparing for the matters of the Eternal Buddha Bridge,

originally, in these few days, I could have been made into the Buddha Bridge, but unexpectedly, Brother Wu Ya intervened."

"Now, Yanfutai has already taken Brother Wu Ya to the Time Realm."

Lady Lianhua said, "If we set off now, head to the Time Realm, perhaps there is hope to save Brother Wu Ya."

"Why are you so sure they are in the Time Realm?"

Zhou Xuan was unmoved but responded by asking,

"Mr., Buddha Country has left a passage in the Time Realm; Yanfutai needs to return to Buddha Country to build the Eternal Buddha Bridge."

Lady Lianhua pointed to the western sky, which was the direction of the Time Realm.

"To return to Buddha Country, one can only go to the Time Realm."

Lady Lianhua said as such.

"Hmm, makes sense."

Zhou Xuan turned around and looked outside the door. At this time, he heard the sound of a cow bell.

"Ring, ring, ring."

This cow bell’s sound was something Zhou Xuan was very familiar with; it was his sister’s bell.

Upon hearing the bell, he knew that his sister had arrived.

He walked to the door and saw Zhou Lingyi walking gracefully while holding a red umbrella.

"Brother..."

Zhou Lingyi, under the red umbrella, was just about to speak, but Zhou Xuan raised his hand and gently shook it, signaling for Zhou Lingyi not to speak.

Then, without even turning back, Zhou Xuan spoke to Lady Lianhua behind him, "Lady Lianhua, at this moment, you must be very conflicted."

"Conflicted? What conflict?"

Lady Lianhua’s gaze at Zhou Xuan’s back carried a hint of ferocity,

she listened to Zhou Xuan’s question, hurriedly retracted the fierce light, replaced it with a "kind" gaze, and responded gently to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "In your heart, there are probably two thoughts right now. One thought is to lure me, Zhou Xuan, away, performing a diversion tactic,

and the other thought is to kill me, Zhou Xuan, on the spot. Lord Jian has gone to gather You Shen to shoot down the escaping Silver Bororo Flowers, Li Shanzu, Lao Yun, and Miss Qiang have all gone to the pit,

my sister was not here earlier either,

only I, a hall disciple of Seven Incense Sticks, am here, making me alone. How can you not harbor murderous intent?"

"No... no such thing... Mr.... you are a Nu of Seven Incense Sticks; my bit of incense is nothing in front of you."

Even as Lady Lianhua said this, Zhou Xuan could faintly hear the sound of "nails growing frantically" behind him.

"Sss, sss, sss..."

It sounded like a swordsman slowly drawing a treasured sword from its sheath.

Zhou Xuan stretched lazily and said, "Stop acting, you’re not Lady Lianhua. Your acting is decent, but you’re missing a crucial detail."

Zhou Lingyi, by this time, had already walked into the temple that looked like ruins. Her umbrella’s red light bathed the broken temple in red.

Lady Lianhua stood in this patch of red.

Her two hands had grown nails over a foot long, like sharp short blades.

"How did you figure it out?"

Lady Lianhua’s eyes were fierce, staring at this sibling pair.

Zhou Xuan then leisurely turned around, smiling brilliantly, and said, "You know Lady Lianhua is a big fatty, like a mountain of meat."

"Then what?"

Lady Lianhua asked.

Zhou Xuan continued, "I have met Lady Lianhua before, and because of her excess flesh, she mostly lies or reclines on her side, so much so that she got many bedsores on her back, incredibly itchy and unbearable,

so the real Lady Lianhua, no matter what, will always scratch her back for a moment to relieve the itch,

we’ve been talking for so long, and you haven’t scratched even once."

"Even the hidden habit of that old yellow-skin, you, Zhou Xuan, have mastered?"
