Chapter 329: Chapter 138: Don’t Go Out After Dark, The Terrifying Sky in the Great Wilderness! (Vote for the Month!)_3
"In those memories, I felt like I wasn’t from this world, but from a place called the Daoist Realm."
"The Daoist Realm doesn’t belong to the three thousand realms, but it seems to float freely in the Endless Sea. There are many powerful people there, far exceeding this place."
"I’ve forgotten who I was there, and I don’t know how I came to be here. But my heart keeps telling me to go back."
"And this feeling is strong."
"I vaguely remember that I seemed to hold a high position. I had uncommon talent and strength, but in the end, it seemed that someone had betrayed and killed me."
"My soul found its way here."
"I can feel a great sense of dissatisfaction within me."
"I don’t know if there’s a path from this world to that one, but regardless, I want to go back and see."
"Even if it’s only to follow my heart’s desire."
After speaking, Mao Ruxue looked at Chen Chang’an and apologized:
"I apologize, brother, for telling you such an outrageous story."
This was the first time Mao Ruxue had confided her inner thoughts to someone else in all her years. If Chen Chang’an hadn’t asked, she probably would’ve kept this secret buried inside her forever.
After all, it was truly unbelievable.
"Unbelievable?"
"Junior sister, I don’t really think so?"
Yet to Mao Ruxue’s surprise, Chen Chang’an nodded at her.
"Brother, do you believe me?" Mao Ruxue was genuinely surprised.
All these years, the reason she dared not tell anyone about this was because it was too unbelievable.
Why did Li Zhiwan always oppose her? Because Mao Ruxue had once shared this story with Li Zhiwan when they were young.
But Li Zhiwan refused to believe it, claiming that Mao Ruxue had been invaded by evil, she wanted to awaken Mao Ruxue from her delusions, urging her to mend her ways.
But, the result was, after all these years, she has motivated Mao Ruxue to this day.
"Why wouldn’t I believe you?" Chen Chang’an shook his head, then looked at Mao Ruxue and said,
"Junior sister, do you remember what is written in the Chapter 108, Section 1 of ’Anecdotes of the Song Emperor’?"
’Anecdotes of the Song Emperor’ Chapter 108, Section 1?
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Mao Ruxue was stunned. She recalled that her senior brother, like her, was also a fan of Emperor Song, and also one of the readers of that book.
"I remember."
She nodded, and then began reciting from memory:
"What infiltrates your body in the early morning may not be sleepiness. What shines on your face in the morning may not be sunshine. What stabs into your back may not be a knife. Screaming in agony does not necessarily mean you’ve been wronged..."
Holy crap~!
"Stop stop stop! Junior sister, enough...!"
Mao Ruxue wasn’t even done reciting, and Chen Chang’an had already hurriedly stopped her with a bemused look on his face.
"Junior sister, what on earth are you reciting?"
"Huh? What’s wrong? Did I recite it wrong?"
Even more confused than Chen Chang’an was Mao Ruxue, who asked in bewilderment.
"Is it not wrong?" Chen Chang’an was dumbfounded.
The Section 1 of Chapter 108 was like this? What the hell was that!
"Yes, senior brother, it’s not wrong."
Mao Ruxue answered confidently.
She was confident that this was indeed what was written in the Section 1 of Chapter 108.
Why?
Because this passage had left the deepest impression on her in the entire ’Anecdotes of the Song Emperor’.
Like the saying that what infiltrates your body in the early morning may not be sleepiness, what shines on your face in the early morning may not be sunshine; these were all incredibly poetic passages.
Moreover, if Mao Ruxue remembers correctly, when ’Anecdotes of the Song Emperor’ initially came out.
This passage was the subject of intense annotations by various powers in the Wuxiang realm.
Yet, in the end, no one was able to grasp the true meaning behind Emperor Song’s words.
The entire world was at a loss, which gives an idea of how deep this sentence was!
It was unfathomably deep!
Not to mention others, even Mao Ruxue herself had also tried to annotate this passage before. However, she, like the others, also failed.
Emperor Song’s literary metaphor was too high, not something ordinary people could comprehend thoroughly.
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Chen Chang’an was bewildered and immediately took out his copy of ’Anecdotes of the Song Emperor’ from his spatial storage.
The scroll of the book was already yellow with age, and the inscriptions on it were elegant and natural, a perfect example of flowing script.
Without a doubt, this was a unique and original copy!
Chen Chang’an immediately flipped to Chapter 108, Section 1 and found that the content was indeed what Mao Ruxue had just recited.
Cough cough~!
"Cough cough~! That’s a mistake, junior sister, it’s the first page of Chapter 110."
The next moment, he blushed and said.
Having those embarrassing words from the past dug up felt like someone had found his browsing history from a previous life.
Fortunately, no one in this world has figured out the meaning of those words, otherwise he’d really have to consider moving to another planet.
"Chapter 109? Oh okay, let me look."
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Mao Ruxue also took out her copy of ’Anecdotes of the Song Emperor’ from her spatial storage.
She had to. While she remembered the passage from Chapter 108 clearly, that was about all she remembered clearly.
She had only read through the rest of Anecdotes but didn’t remember everything in detail.
