Chapter 1430: Self-Realization and Self-Reflection
Female prisoners!
The cell door opened.
The sturdy female prison guard shook her head at the two female prisoners. "Out!"
Su Yun and Guan Mei were both very nervous; the two supported each other and walked out of the cell tremblingly. Along the corridor, they kept walking out, passed through the gate, and finally walked out of the prison, seeing the light of day again.
"You have been released, get out!"
The female prison guard roared impatiently.
The two looked at each other, slightly hesitant.
"Still not leaving? Do you want to continue serving time?"
The two didn't hesitate anymore and ran toward the outside of the gate.
As soon as they got out of the gate, they saw a carriage waiting at the entrance.
"The two of you, please get on the carriage."
"Who are you?"
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen instructed me to wait for you here and send you to the Jade Spring Palace. This is the information for the two of you; destroy it after you finish reading it. Don't tell outsiders."
The two supported each other and got on the carriage. When they opened the information, they only then learned that at the official level, they were already dead people! Dead people on whom the coffin lid had been nailed. And their families had already been notified.
Unfortunately, their families were unwilling to claim their bodies and had signed and pressed their fingerprints, completely abandoning them.
At this moment, the two cried with joy and hugged each other, crying bitterly. It was a thorough, happy cry!
Crying out all the bitterness of these years in one breath.
"Finally escaped!"
"From now on, no one will force us to marry!"
"And no one will force me to be a secret prostitute!"
"I knew Lord Chen would have a way! I didn't expect him to come up with such a genius method!"
"It was me who misunderstood Lord Chen; I want to apologize to him!"
The two cried and laughed all the way, finally arriving at the Jade Spring Palace.
The Daoist boy led the two into the Jade Spring Palace and settled them in a side room.
A moment later, Chen Guanlou finally appeared!
Seeing the two women about to cry again, he stopped them immediately. "I didn't show up before because I wanted to leave enough time for you to cry to your heart's content. I know women have many tears. Now, don't cry anymore!"
He couldn't stand women crying and whimpering; it was annoying!
Besides venting emotions, it didn't solve any problems. And it created noise! If he scolded them back, he would be accused of being unreasonable and having no sympathy.
Fart sympathy.
Since he couldn't change the habit of women crying, he could only choose to hide.
Su Yun smiled and wiped her tears, pulling Guan Mei to kneel down and kowtow directly.
"Thank you, Lord Chen! To us, you are like our reborn parents!"
Chen Guanlou stretched out his hand and lifted them up virtually. "Alright, get up. I'll just say a few words. From now on, you are not Su Yun, and you are not Guan Mei; you only have Daoist names, and you must forget your secular names. As for the Daoist names, Pure Yang Zhenren will bestow them upon you.
Second, don't have a big mouth and reveal what happened in the past, including how you came out of the Great Wilderness, how you came out of the female prison, how you were resurrected, and so on!
Third, since you have chosen to be Daoist nuns, you must abide by the rules of the Jade Spring Palace. Don't be a Daoist nun on one hand and miss the red dust and secular world, miss the love between men and women on the other! If you break the rules, I won't help you again! At that time, whether you live or die will be your own fault!
Fourth, don't go down the mountain! You are both weak women with no ability to protect yourselves. And your families all live in the capital! These are my requirements for you; can you do it?"
"Don't worry, Lord Chen; at the thought of men, I only feel disgusted." Su Yun said solemnly. "We are seeking a place to settle down, and we won't destroy the place we rely on for survival. Little Mei, don't you think so?"
Guan Mei nodded. "My body is ruined! What love between men and women, it will only make me die faster! I don't want to die; I want to live for a long time. I will definitely abide by the rules. I learned the rules since I was a child; I understand the rules best. I will forget my name, and I will never go down the mountain in this life!"
After speaking, it was another bitter cry.
Chen Guanlou only felt a headache.
He beckoned and walked out of the side room first, with Su Yun following behind.
He exhorted the other person, "Keep a close eye on Lady Guan; her will is not firm enough, and I'm worried she will do something bad and implicate you."
"You don't trust her, my lord? You trust me?"
"You have your own opinions and a firm willpower; you are ten times stronger than her. Lady Guan is more like a dodder flower; I suspect she won't be able to hold on for long before she can't help but look for a man."
"My lord, this is prejudice!" Su Yun couldn't help but speak a fair word for Guan Mei.
Chen Guanlou smiled and tried to be as objective and fair as possible. "I work in the Heavenly Prison and have seen countless people, of all shapes and sizes, with all kinds of ghosts. I have also seen people like Guan Mei. They speak very beautifully, but in reality, it's hard to describe!
You have been in the Great Wilderness for many years, so I believe you have some ability to judge people. Don't be blinded by sympathy, and don't be misled by her miserable experience! You must learn to see the essence through the appearance.
What is her essence? It's reliance! She has been relying on others since she was a child! When she was young, she relied on her family; after she became a servant, she relied on the young miss of the wealthy family; after she was trafficked, she relied on that man; afterward, she relied on you. From beginning to end, she has never relied on herself.
You are different; from the moment you were trafficked, you were planning for yourself and striving for opportunities for yourself. If you hadn't begged me, I might not have saved her.
Now that you have entered the Jade Spring Palace, I believe you will certainly study the Daoist scriptures with all your heart and become a true Daoist nun! But her... when she realizes that you are no longer her reliance, guess what she will do? Think about it yourself!"
Su Yun looked stunned and slightly dull, not moving for a long time!
And Guan Mei, inside the room, was already lying on the couch, starting to sleep soundly.
Chen Guanlou sneered; it wasn't that he looked down on people, but Guan Mei was truly a dodder flower, the kind that couldn't survive on her own. She had no opinions and lacked willpower! She had to have a reliance to numbly persist.
Su Yun rubbed her cheeks. "If... if it's really as the lord said... I will definitely keep an eye on her and not let her mess around. I definitely will!"
Chen Guanlou nodded, very approvingly. "I believe you! However, you don't have to take her as your responsibility! You are the most important! If you can't stop her, let her go. I'll give you a sentence: put down the complex of helping others and respect the fate of others!"
Su Yun's whole body shook, repeating "put down the complex of helping others and respect the fate of others"!
Her expression seemed to have realized something!
"The lord is worthy of being the lord, having such a profound understanding of life."
"Don't flatter me! Let's go, I'll take you to see Pure Yang Zhenren."
"Little Mei, she..."
"She chose to sleep, respect her!"
Pure Yang Zhenren was full of complaints, and upon seeing Chen Guanlou, his eyes were immediately not eyes, and his nose was not a nose.
He said to Su Yun, "You were forced in by Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen; my requirement for you is to abide by the rules. Whoever breaks the rules, I will never be lenient and will certainly expel them from the Jade Spring Palace. Do you remember?"
"Thank you, Zhenren, for your instruction; I remember!"
"I bestow upon you the Daoist name Ziwu (Self-Realization), and the other one, I bestow upon her the Daoist name Zixing (Self-Reflection)!"
"Thank you, Zhenren, for bestowing the Daoist names; Ziwu will keep it in mind!" Su Yun respectfully performed a great bow! ===== CHAPTER 1431 =====
