Chapter 127: Excellent!
ing Han Yin.Conversely, Han Yin also used his strategic importance to keep the Zhuang army firmly pinned down at Suolong Pass. Once reinforcements from various regions arrived and gathered at the pass...In a quiet chamber, there is nothing superfluous.
There is only one hanging scroll and a three-legged beast-shaped incense burner.
In the painting, clouds drift and mountains seem distant. On the stovetop, blue smoke transforms into flying birds.
Two cushions are arranged side by side.
On either side, sat two nuns.

First, his body was like bronze, and his face had a Buddha's light.

Though clad in the garb of a monk, his face was undeniably handsome.
In the distant mountains of the painting, there was a sound, faint and ethereal, like a bell tolling—
"May all beings be well and happy."
This soft sound, like a whisper in the ear, reverberates through the heart.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Open up the five senses, and make the soul and spirit clear.
The genuine sound of the true Dao.
Two female nuns, seated cross-legged, clasped their palms together and chanted: "May the Buddha be merciful!"
“All phenomena arise from the coming together of causes and conditions, and emptiness is inherently present and cannot be created.”
The sound from the mountains in the distance within the painting still lingered: "Therefore it is said, all phenomena arise from causes and conditions, and all phenomena cease because of causes and conditions."
Therefore, it is said: “From the void arises wondrous existence.”
Her body, like that of a bronze statue, radiated the divine light of intoxication.
A stunningly beautiful nun lowered her eyelids and remained silent.
Emptiness, arising from causes and conditions, is the Buddha's enlightenment, an eternal and immutable classic. But truly understanding its profound meaning and articulating it oneself is something very few people can achieve.
“The Great Dao is like a tree, and each person only obtains a single leaf.”
> "Everyone has a path, everyone attains enlightenment."
All vie for this leaf, yet unaware that each leaf is different.
"This is also the collision of the barbarian tribes."
The voice in the painting said: "The past is empty, and the future is yet to come. I await Buddha's disciples, who will enlighten their minds and realize the path, understanding cause and effect. Are you awakened now"
>
“The disciple has long been aware.” The exquisitely beautiful female nun clasped her hands and said, “Please have the master do it himself.”
>
Although her voice was calm and her eyes were peaceful, there was still a captivatingly lazy feel to her.
She sat so simply in meditation, yet one could see the bustling red dust of life and the passing of ages.
“Wait.” The woman in yellow-bronze robes looked up at the painting, her gaze fixed on the mountains shrouded in mist beneath the drifting clouds: “Disciple has changed my mind. This journey is long and fraught with unforeseen circumstances.”
She knelt on the ground, with utmost sincerity, and said: "Disciple asks her heart honestly, I no longer desire Yu Zhen's body. I beseech Master to clarify this."
Yu Zhen turned her head slightly, looking at her with some surprise.
But the moon slave still did not raise his head.
In the quiet room, there was a moment of silence.
Then the souls of Tiannu and Yu Zhen suddenly leaped out of their bodies, light and airy, falling onto two birds made of blue smoke.
Cultivation level is still on the outer layer, the soul and spirit cannot leave the body, and it should not interfere with reality. Once violated, the consequences are either damage to oneself or the complete destruction of one's spiritual essence.
But there are new world rules here.
There is a new definition for soul.
In reality, the Qingyan Feibird is small and ethereal.
On the spiritual level, even though the blue smoke bird is divine and graceful.
The two souls manifested, so small in an instant. This tiny quiet room, at this moment, felt so vast.
The azure smoke, with its bird bearing two little figures, was free and spirited. It fluttered its wings gently, passing through a barrier between the tangible and intangible, and had already flown into that landscape painting.
The wind is free and easy, the clouds drift gently.
>
There is true meaning between heaven and earth, received by the five senses, and wandering in the heart.
It's getting closer.
The verdant mountains drew closer.
The fragrance of osmanthus flowers floats in the senses.
Yue Tiannu sensed all this familiarity, with a feeling of wanting to cry.
A green bird flies and perches on a mountain peak.
On the mountaintop, a clump of emerald bamboo was planted. In front of the bamboo forest stood a small house.

A plump silver tabby cat lay sprawled on its back in the grass outside, basking lazily in the sunshine. Its round belly rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern.
> Yuetian nu carefully avoided it and continued walking forward.
There was a nun, her face unclear in the haze, sitting cross-legged on the bamboo steps before the house.
She looked over.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
That gaze seemed to possess infinite compassion. It was as if it could see through all your thoughts and feelings, understanding every worry you had and offering eternal comfort and support.
But at this moment it was filled with doubt.
"Tell me your reasons." As the sound of a distant mountain chime, said.
At this moment, Yue Tiannu stood alone facing all of this, but she knew that at this time, Yu Zhen was in another painting.
Drawing in souls into a painting is already a miraculous technique. A painting that opens up two worlds is beyond imagination.
But for the person in front of him, it wasn't anything special.
"Master." Yuetian Slave clasped his hands and bowed his head in greeting.
"Then he said, “Because I was shattered in body and spirit that year. The sect had no choice but to appoint Yu Ming, who was at the level of a divine presence, as the head abbot of Miaoyou Hall. This is the helplessness of the sect, and also Yu Ming's burden..."
“In order to avoid sullying the reputation of her sect, she rushed to success, forcing herself to attack the Dao Truth in an unprepared state, which ultimately led to her demise. Otherwise, with her talent, if she had been able to calm her mind, she would have certainly stood a chance at reaching Dao Truth.”
"All this, is the disciple's fault."
The nun sitting in meditation on the bamboo steps remained silent, calmly waiting for her to continue.
>
“The remnant soul of my disciple remembers only these things,” Yue Tiannu said. “Many things are forgotten, but these things, this pain, have never been dispelled for a moment... I feel guilty in my heart.”
“I have read all the classics, seeking salvation but finding none. I strive with all my heart to atone, yet the other shore is beyond sight, even harder to reach.”
“Do you have immeasurable compassion, but I cannot comprehend it.”
“A letter from Duke Yu of the State of Wu has arrived. You told me to go see the mountains and seas and to witness the first-rate dashing talent of Chu.”
I have also decided to use his jade as a model for my own rough stone. When I return, I will borrow the true form of Jade and cross the sea of suffering.
"Yue Tiannu sighed, 'That child Shunhua, when she was little, I used to play with her as a puppet. She actually remembered and thought it was Yue Tiannu who had grown up... But where in the world could there be a Yue Tiannu' "
>
But after leaving the Shan Hai realm, I thought to myself, the world already has Yue Tiannu.
That month, the slave girl experienced many things. She followed the celestial pride of Chu Di, along with Jiang Wang and Wang Changji, those destined to be brilliant, witnessing the legends of the Shanhai realm. She met Kong Yuan, Jia Xuan, and learned that there were nine types of phoenixes, and the spirits of life competed for freedom...
There are too many prodigies in this world, and how many stories have risen and fallen in the long river of history.
Huang Wei will truly transcend the peak, returning from fantasy. And Yue Tiannu also left her mark at this historical juncture.
“This was the first time he had been remembered by Xu Shunhua, and the second time he had witnessed the legend of the Mountain-Sea Realm. In this world, Yue Tiannu already existed.”
“I have already harmed Yu Ming, and I cannot harm others anymore. I have already betrayed the sect, and I cannot betray Yu Zhen again.”
"I cross the sea of suffering, it cannot seek me."
Yue Tiannu earnestly said: "Master, this is my shallow thinking, my insignificant Zen heart."
A nun meditating on a bamboo platform, her face falling between the visible and invisible. She showed no curiosity towards names like Jiang Wang, Wang Changji, Kong Yuan, or Jia Xuan. Even news of Huang Wei's impending transcendence to the peak moved her not one whit.
That was a world beyond the canvas, not the truth of this side.
She just gazed at Yuetian Slave, with eyes of empty-like phantom compassion, gazing at Yuetian Slave.
Feel the pain of Yuetian slave, understand the feelings of Yuetian slave.
Then he said, "Yu Zhen once took refuge in a cult and killed innocents. This heart is chaotic and has no sense of good or evil."
Seeking refuge in Buddha is for the sake of eliminating karmic obstacles.
To attain all that one desires is the cause of worldly attachment.
All is done by free will, there being no cause and effect.
If I were to save her, she would have this tribulation.
Compassion, you rejected her flesh, not to save her, but to harm her.
The phrase for this round of the Xiyue Monastery's characters is "hong kai zhi jing deng yuan xi, chong ci yu zhan hui gu jin."
The first of the three main halls at Xi Yue An Monastery, as well as the current abbot of Xi Yue An Monastery, are all Zen practitioners with the Buddhist name Ci.
And "Cixin" is precisely the dharma name of the previous head abbot of Miaoyou Ci Hall. Her residual soul combining with this puppet body, is now Yue Tiannu.
The current abbot of Myao-you-zhai, Master Yumeng, has already collapsed the Yuanshen Temple due to his failure in striking the Void Cave. He is now counting down the days until his death.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To tell the truth, this is not a very auspicious location.
"May Master forgive me for my presumptuous words."
Yue Tiannu said: "The body is but a skin, not moving the body can dispel karma."
For him, for her; this is the entangling thread of worldly desires.
Though he claims it's out of free will, his actions prove his infatuation hasn't faded.
The disciple thought... this way could not save him."
The chubby cat, upside down on all fours, tilted its head and glanced this way, as if curious.
The nun meditating on the bamboo steps only said, "Have you thought it through Yu Zhen's entire being is the result of the evil god's path, intrinsically pure. It's a lotus flower blooming without blemish. If you obtain it, accept it, and keep it, you'll be able to quickly make up for your shortcomings and cultivate back your flawless glazed body."
"The disciple has understood." Yue Tiannu said, "The remnant soul can no longer be found. I don't want to search for it anymore. The old body has perished, there is no need to be reborn. Even the flawless glazed body and compassionate heart will eventually die and disappear."
Her voice was like a chant, and her body gradually bloomed with treasure light: "Today I am tomorrow me, today's body is tomorrow's body. The physical body is a skin sack, the puppet body is also a skin sack... Compassionate heart has been silent, the spiritual source is reborn. I am Yue Tiannu, the puppet body is the true body, and I myself am the spirit boat."
"Having gone through suffering on my own, thus I attained Buddhahood."
At this moment, her palms were pressed together in an infinitely solemn manner. Her appearance was dignified and reverent, radiating a compassionate heart. From her as the center, a brilliant light like flowing water emanated, rippling outwards in all directions. This was Buddha's light, yet it was also moonlight.
Where brilliance passes, it seems as though a brand new world is born within the existing one.
And the phantoms of countless puppet Buddha statues, appeared and disappeared among them.
In a trance-like state, the sound of chanting arose—
"Deep low Di Tu Su Zha A Luo Mi Di U Du Zha Shen Qi Zha Bo Lai Di Ye Mi Rao Zha U Du Zha Gu Luo Di Zha Qi Mo Zha Sha ba ho!"
This is for, the moon without blemish puppetland purity.
Still at the mountaintop.
Still in the bamboo forest.
There is still a fat silver tabby cat.
But here it was not lying on its back, but was being held down by the hand of one ancestor on the bamboo platform, unable to move.
Nevertheless, he kept his eyes fixed on the nun ahead of him, staring intently, his pupils wide and unwavering.
From that straight-forward gaze, you could tell.
If it weren't for the voice being silenced, it would never be so quiet.
Yuzhen appeared before the small hut at the mountaintop, but there were still some things she couldn't understand.
She had long since prepared herself for this, to give her body in exchange for a puppet's.
This is not too high a price to pay.
To interfere in the power struggle between the two hegemons of Jing Country, to disrupt Jing Guo Jing's pursuit... Such a price is truly insignificant.
The physical body is of course a person's foundation, and it is naturally the greatest price she can pay.
But compared to this world of sunrises and sunsets, eternal and unchanging, she felt so small.
She knew her own smallness from a very early age—when she was thrown into a pack of beasts with only a dagger in her hand.
> And she didn't realize the value of her own until very late.
At that time, in a remote village on a remote mountain peak in a secluded small country.
Someone said, "I pity the little girl who is terrified amidst the pack of wild beasts."
It turned out she was someone to be pitied.
... not only greed, desire, exploitation, and craving.
原來，有些人也會為她拚儘全力。
It wasn't that I was captivated by her, nor had I fallen prey to her tricks.
...but rather, the true choices made under a clear and conscious will.
At this moment, she had many unanswered questions in her heart.
I don't understand why Yue Tiannu suddenly rejected her body again - for the sake of spiritual harmony and mental connection, they had spent some time together before, getting to know each other and sharing many stories. She understood Yue Tiannu's desires very well.
In order to shoulder his responsibilities sooner, Yue Tiannu was willing to try anything. Including becoming a puppet's vessel, including the fusion of Buddha and ink... There was no reason to give up at this last step.
But after all, she is Yuzhen.
She looked at her profound and enigmatic master, appearing very calm.
If a person can accept the worst possible outcome, then she has nothing to fear.
"Master ancestor," Yuzhen softly said, "Disciple greets you."
Yuzhen and the senior sister Yuhu had a common master, namely Master Ciming, the abbess of Xiyue Temple.
>
But Jade Zhen was actually different. She wasn't truly a disciple of Master Ci Ming, but rather was personally accepted by the master in front of her as a student.
Of course, Master Ciming treated her with equal care and guidance as she did her fellow students. There wasn't much difference between her and the other sisters in their training. However, because of this unique connection that led to her entrance, her position within Xiyue Monastery held a slightly different nuance.
Everyone else just thought she was favored by the abbot. Few people knew that she had this connection with the being in the painting and this layer of relationship.
On the bamboo steps, the female nun sat cross-legged like a bodhi tree. She held the plump tabby cat's paw with her hand, appearing both casual and possessing an innate natural way.
She looked at Yuzhen and said softly, "Although we had an agreement, due to changing circumstances, gains and losses have balanced out. But Yue Tiannu gave up the opportunity to change her body herself, which also counts as you fulfilling your promise."

Of course Yu Zhen knew what she had left behind and what she had lost.
He showed no joy nor sorrow on his face, only saying: “Jade True, just do as the ancestor master says.”
The nun on the bamboo steps said again, "I know you are a decisive person, so I also want to ask for your opinion. As for the Three-Scent Pavilion, do you want to continue running it, or let it go and live a quiet life with me here in this bamboo hut"
The chubby cat who was being held suddenly had bright, sparkling eyes.
Jade really said in a soft voice, "Doing things always has to have a beginning and an end. Jade Zhen also wishes for quiet cultivation, but she is also willing to walk the path of red dust."
A female ascetic on the bamboo platform sighed: “You were originally a captivating beauty, but you overdo it. The world's fragrance accounts for only three parts, and it is not your place to possess them all. But since you want both sweet incense and sandalwood… why bother”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Yu Zhen just smiled.
With this smile, the female nun of the blue lamp ancient Buddha became a captivating beauty who charmed all beings.
"I'm greedy, you see." she said with a smile.

Yu Tiannu and Yu Zhen, here and there.
Two scrolls, two images of the ancestors.
