MM Racing Chapter 58: What Dream Was Unknown
Chapter 58: What Dream Was Unknown
As Lü Buyi had previously stated, he had toyed with Gao Haoguang's feelings.
This is not a joke or baseless rumor, but a fact that actually happened.
Because he already knew of Gao Haoguang's existence, even before Gao Haoguang was born.
Lu Buyi, who woke up in the late Qing Dynasty, sought out his destined master, Ma Chao, ahead of time.
The Three Truths School of Buddhism had fallen into extreme decline by the end of the Qing Dynasty.
When Ma Chao was young...
His master, the 216th generation leader of the Sanzhen Dharma Sect, along with Ma Chao and his other fellow disciples, were wiped out by a minor supernatural being.
Only Ma Chao at that time escaped with the "Three True Ones in the Same Month Order".
As a result, Ma Chao naturally became the 217th generation leader of the Sanzhen School.
But because no one taught him, he didn't even learn the basics.
So, after many years, his practice can be said to have been ineffective, or it can be said to have been a waste of effort.
When Lü Buyi first met Ma Chao, he had just woken up and could hardly believe that the Three Truths Sect had fallen to such a state.
But this might not be a bad thing.
After all, if the Three Truths Dharma Gate were still flourishing, it wouldn't be easy to gain the trust of the great supernatural beings within the gate.
And now...
Gaining the trust of this descendant of the Three Truths School, whose abilities might even be questionable, was far too easy.
The Three Truths Borrowing Treasures Method, the Three Truths Myriad Laws Sword, and some small acts of care and insignificant teaching and protection.
With just these seemingly insignificant things, Lü Buyi gained the trust of the Ma Dynasty at the time.
This cannot be said to mean that the Ma dynasty was without vigilance.
Rather, it is for ordinary people like him who cannot go through the past or foresee the future.
He never understood what Lü Buyi was really after when he helped him at that time.
Closer to home——
And so, before Gao Haoguang became a disciple of Ma Chao.
Lü Buyi remained in the third Dharma Palace of the Three Truths School as his grandmaster.
Miao Qingqing, Huang Erguo, Gao Haoguang...
He watched the three of them enter the family and grow up, always caring for them as a kind elder.
Looking back now, it was a time that was so fake it was almost funny.
All of this continued until the day the "Three Truths in the Same Month Order" was activated.
From the moment Jiang Mingzi recognized Lü Buyi through the [Three Truths in the Same Month Order] in the later stages of his career—
Lu Buyi's groundwork laid over the past few decades officially became the starting point for his torment of Gao Haoguang.
From the Third Prefectural Government to Heishan Village, from Sanchuan Town to Qianji Pavilion.
From Huguang to Penglai, from Shanghai to Nanjing.
Bai Xiaoxiao was one of the "tools" that Lü Buyi used to torment Gao Haoguang in Heishan Village and thereafter.
Of course, taking her as a disciple wasn't for that purpose, but because she did indeed have some talent.
In addition, she possesses two innate divine abilities, a legacy left behind by the three-eyed corpse before its death.
Therefore, after Black Mountain Village, out of his love for talent, Lü Buyi chose to resurrect her and take her as his disciple.
We teach and utilize simultaneously.
However, this girl probably doesn't care about any of that.
After all, when Lü Buyi resurrected her, he also brought about the rebirth of her parents, turning them into ordinary corpses.
Then, through the "Practice to Return to Reality" method, they regained their human form.
Although her parents' lifespans were still limited because they were not seekers of the Dharma, they were not considered to have lived that long.
But to see one's deceased parents return and stay by one's side—
The girl seemed completely satisfied and extremely grateful.
This is precisely why Bai Xiaoxiao, even though she is willing to be used by Lü Buyi to this day, still respects him from the bottom of her heart.
It was precisely because of this heartfelt respect that Bai Xiaoxiao felt a surge of respect when she pushed open the door and saw that familiar figure.
She was initially stunned, but then she treated him with the respect due to a disciple.
"Disciple Bai pays respects—"
"There's no need for that."
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao's utter astonishment at his appearance, Lü Buyi waved his hand gently.
He didn't step into the house, but instead placed the stone gourd, which had been lifted up and gradually calmed down, in front of Bai Xiaoxiao.
"I've come uninvited this time because I need your help with something."
Lu Buyi pointed at her and said softly, "Do you know her?"
Bai Xiaoxiao stared at Shi Guagua. The child's face gave her a sense of familiarity, but she couldn't quite put her finger on who he resembled.
So she honestly shook her head.
"Zhao Yan and Shangguan Xiao should have mentioned to you that Baili Yuan is always accompanied by a little girl—"
"That's her."
"Bai Liyuan has some matters to attend to and cannot keep her with him at the moment, so he sent her to me."
Lü Buyi got straight to the point, without any politeness.
"But I don't know how to take care of children, and she probably wouldn't want to rely on me to transfer my magic power to her to maintain her physical needs instead of eating."
"So I'll leave it to you."
Bai Xiaoxiao neither agreed nor disagreed; she simply smiled and found Lü Buyi's words somewhat amusing.
"I never imagined that even now, a hundred years later, Master, you still can't handle this kind of thing..."
"Indeed, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw; is there any way to have it all in this world?"
Lü Buyi did not deny it; he simply said:
"It seems you have no objections. Since you haven't refused, I'll leave her here."
"I will use my supernatural powers to watch over this place, and I will come immediately if there is any danger—"
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, finding it acceptable, but seeing Lü Buyi turn to leave, she asked softly:
"Is Master leaving already?"
"I just finished cooking porridge. Would you like to stay for dinner?"
Bai Xiaoxiao's cooking skills are excellent, you could say they're too good.
Just look at Shi Guagua's eyes, which light up when they smell a fragrance, and you'll know everything.
But Lü Buyi still refused: "No need, I have things to prepare when I get back."
"At least try to show some humanity..."
Bai Xiaoxiao sighed softly after being rejected without any mercy.
"If she returns soon and sees you with this aloof and unapproachable demeanor, she'll probably be heartbroken, won't she?"
Take good care of yourself.
Lu Buyi remained calm, showing no sign of distress: "Gao Haoguang's return may not be too far off. Are you prepared to fight him to the death on the final day?"
"This is not the case before; he will not hold back in this battle."
Bai Xiaoxiao stopped talking and simply replied softly:
"Your disciple will remember this."
So Lü Buyi turned his gaze to Shi Guagua.
Do you have a problem with that?
"No, boss, go ahead and leave. I'll miss you."
"That's what Shi Guagua said, his eyes practically turning green with hunger."
Lü Buyi nodded, and then, under the watchful eyes of the two, his figure vanished into thin air.
Finally, it slowly appeared in the Three True Ancestral Lands, within the Primordial Dharma Palace.
It was as if he had never actually left this place.
Lu Buyi was actually very tired today. First, he told Duan Xinglian the story of the eleventh battle of cause and effect.
Then there were further disturbances and interludes from Bailiyuan and Shiguagua.
For someone who is always lacking in energy these days, this is already considered overwork.
So he decided to go back to sleep.
One last look at the faint azure figure atop the Wanye Changsheng Great Material.
Because of Bai Xiaoxiao, Lü Buyi recalled the figures of Ma Chao, Miao Qingqing, Huang Erguo, and Gao Haoguang from a hundred years ago—
He slowly closed his eyes.
The past seems like yesterday, but I don't know what I dreamt.
