Hier gibt es Liebe für dreihundert Tael - Kapitel 94
As everyone sighed and discussed among themselves, the steward ran in to report, "Your Highness, a white-browed monk is requesting an audience outside the manor!"
"A white-browed monk?" the crowd asked in disbelief.
The steward said, "That monk looks very old, unlike the usual swindlers. He seems to be a highly accomplished monk, so I'd better hurry..."
"For the Prince."
Zhao Jiu knew a lot of different kinds of people in the martial arts world. Even the gatekeepers of the Prince's Mansion didn't dare to drive away these strange people at will; they would usually report to Zhao Jiu for a decision.
Zhao Jiu bowed slightly to the elders and said, "I'll go out and take a look first."
In an instant, a melodious Buddhist chant echoed through the garden, and the white-browed monk had entered. When everyone saw his face clearly, they were astonished, and the six disciples immediately knelt down, crying out, "Master!"
This white-browed monk was none other than the Venerable Monk Huiyuan. Huiyuan smiled at everyone and said, "My disciples, it's been many years since we last met. How are you all? Please get up!" He then returned the greetings to the others who bowed to him. His demeanor was magnanimous and his attitude was graceful, giving people a very peaceful feeling.
The eldest disciple, Fan Tianxiang, said emotionally, "I never expected to see Master again at this time and place. When Master sent us out of the mountain that day, he said the words 'We will not return until we have exhausted our strength.' We thought we would never see Master again in this lifetime."
Huiyuan said, "After you have finished what you are supposed to do, I will naturally come to see you. However, my coming here today is unexpected. I really couldn't refuse my junior sister and came to deliver a message for her."
To everyone's surprise, Huiyuan took out a phoenix-shaped piece of purple jade from his sleeve, handed it to Zhao Jiu, and said, "This is a gift from your mother to her grandson. This child is extraordinary, and you should all pay close attention to him."
Zhao Jiu was a little nervous when he first met his grandmaster, but he still asked, "Why didn't my mother come by herself?"
Huiyuan laughed loudly, "Zhen'er and Zhao Gou have achieved enlightenment and become 'immortals'..." After saying that, Huiyuan also gracefully departed, and everyone could only hear bursts of joyful laughter lingering in the air.
Zhao Jin asked his senior uncles, "Senior uncles, what did Grandmaster mean by that? Did my father and mother really ascend to heaven and become immortals? What... what's going on?"
Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. Then Su Mufei said, "I recognize this purple jade. It's an ornament from my junior sister's Phoenix Wing Silver Whip. Since Master said it was given by my junior sister, it must be true. They must be very good, so you don't need to worry. But Zhao Xu, since Master said this boy is extraordinary, we should put more effort into him."
Zhao Jiu recalled the baby's first birthday celebration at noon and said with a headache, "A-Xu is indeed extraordinary. This is the first time I've ever seen a child fall asleep on the table during a baby's first birthday celebration. Is he going to be a sleeping immortal?"
Upon hearing his words, everyone recalled what had happened at noon and burst into laughter, thus putting the matter of Zhao Gou and Qin Zhen out of their minds.
East China Sea, Yanbo Island.
Yanbo Island is an unnamed island in the East China Sea. Zhao Gou and Qin Zhen sailed to this place and saw that the island was surrounded by mist and the waves were in their ears. They thought it was a perfect place to play, so they stayed here.
The two were strolling along the natural white sand beach, carrying their shoes. Qin Zhen kicked at the seawater and complained, "Damn it, I really want to go back and see the children, but how come..."
Zhao Gou laughed and said, "Weren't you very happy when you discovered this secret? Why are you having a headache now?"
Qin Zhen glared at Zhao Gou and said, "If people knew that we don't age, wouldn't they treat us like monsters?"
Strangely enough, Zhao Gou and Qin Zhen either ate the wrong "elixir" in the martial arts world or accumulated too much good karma, their appearances stopped aging. Over the years, they still looked like they were only thirty years old, which was so bizarre that they eventually had to find a way to escape and hide from everyone.
Zhao Gou comforted Qin Zhen, saying, "Why worry about this? Immortality is something many people dream of, yet we two have obtained it by chance. From now on, let's be together forever. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"The days are endless, it seems like it will never end... How am I supposed to get through this..."
Qin Zhen yelled at the sea in frustration, but Zhao Gou hugged her from behind and said, "Why do I only feel that time flies by? We can't waste it, we must seize the moment and enjoy it!"
Feeling Zhao Gou's soft, hot lips, Qin Zhen elbowed him in the chest and said, "You're so unserious, I'm not playing with you anymore!"
After saying that, she took off running along the beach. Zhao Gou, clutching his chest behind her, said, "You're up to no good again. Now that I've caught you, you're not allowed to beg for mercy!"
Waves crashing, laughter echoing – this is a legend of happiness.
