Chapter 114

Caught off guard, he heard that woman say such a thing.

Everyone looked toward the screen.

In the screen, the giant boulder beside them shifted backward.

Before this, the heavens and earth were still grey; apart from the black of the road, what remained on either side was endless barren wasteland.

But.

Suddenly, the view opened wide.

In an instant, the entire world turned a sheet of blue.

What met the eye was a boundless blue sea.

Before them, an ocean appeared.

One glance could not see its end; the end ahead, the ends to the left and right, all vanished at the horizon.

At once, the audience was dazzled by the scene.

【Is this the sea?】

【Is this Tibet?】

【How does Tibet have a sea?】

Here.

Was not the sea.

It was Namtso.

The foremost sacred lake of Tibet.

It gave people the illusion of the sea.

Because the area of this lake is fully 1,961 square kilometers!

The third-ranked saltwater lake in the Eastern Kingdom!

First place: Qinghai Lake.

Second place: Lop Nor!

Third place: Namtso!

And Lop Nor has already vanished into the dust of history.

So, this place is the second-largest saltwater lake in the Eastern Kingdom!

Seeing that name just now.

Seeing this stretch of blue before their eyes.

Wang Yue felt her heart almost leap out of her chest!

"So! You're coming to Namtso!" Wang Yue said joyfully.

Did Ning Chen say nothing; the RV's speed slowed.

"I know this place! I heard about this lake long ago!" Wang Yue was truly delighted, and without worrying that Ning Chen might find her annoying, she began to chatter on and on.

"Have you heard? Namtso has a Buddhist legend! I know this legend far too well!"

Whether he had truly grown curious about Wang Yue's words or what, no one knew.

Ning Chen glanced at her. "What legend?"

Seeing that this fellow had finally taken an interest.

Wang Yue's urge to talk was roused, and she began to chatter on and on.

A Tibetan legend.

Namtso was once a maiden.

The Thirty-Third Heaven's Divine Emperor Shakra, after a hundred years of war, at last took as his wife the daughter of the Asuras.

Thereafter, a daughter was born, and she was named Namtso.

Namtso possessed beauty beyond compare, an icy-pure bearing; in her left hand, a lotus dharma staff; in her right, a dharma wheel and Buddha mirror; she cultivated for a thousand years.

Later, there was an ascetic named Ananda; one day, passing by Mount Kunlun, he caught sight of Namtso and was seized with love for her.

The Buddha asked him, how much do you love that maiden?

Guess what Ananda said?

Wang Yue blinked, looking at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen looked at her, giving no response.

He did not know.

Wang Yue pressed her lips into a smile and said earnestly:

"Ananda said to the Buddha, I am willing to become a stone bridge, to endure five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, five hundred years of rain."

Ning Chen turned his face away, looking ahead.

"Aren't you going to ask me what it means?" Wang Yue peered at him.

"Oh, what does it mean?" Ning Chen asked.

Wang Yue: …

Wang Yue: "Ananda said to the Buddha, I am willing to become a stone bridge, to endure five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, five hundred years of rain—only hoping that maiden will walk across the bridge."

After speaking, Wang Yue looked at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen looked at her.

After a long while, he turned his head away.

On his face, there was no expression.

This reaction left Wang Yue somewhat disappointed…

What the hell?

Such a poignant and beautiful story, yet this person, how is it that he has no reaction at all?

As expected, such a person simply does not understand emotions.

For a moment, perhaps because thoughts of matters related to love had arisen, Wang Yue's mood suddenly felt a bit despondent.

But what she did not know was.

The words she spoke

!'2 of this passage, however, caused a commotion in the live broadcast room.

【Damn! He's a real damn poet!】

【I'm moved! It was quite sudden!】

【I've heard different versions, though they are mostly the same~】

【It seems it was first heard in a movie called Sword Rain, right?】

【The Buddhist story came first; the movie just quoted it, okay?】

【What did the Buddha say?】

【The Buddha said, "Damn, you moved me!"】
