Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1641 Destiny

Chapter 1641 Destiny

The soldiers under the two generals said nothing and followed their arrangement to stop for the time being. They built the camp while the two generals headed up to the mountain through the rugged road.

"This road hadn't been repaired for several years." Long Qian Xing looked at the road below him and shook his head. "The temple had been neglected for so many years during the war."

"It's not uncommon." Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing. "The current temple is not a strong power."

Long Qian Xing nodded in agreement.

While some monks had trained in martial arts that focused on longevity and health care, most of them were still in relatively poor health. At this current era, the temple was indeed quite forgotten and didn't have much impact.

But many centuries later, there will be many powerful monks who would come out of the temple due to the influence of the martial arts and so on.

At least, that was how it was written in history.

He was not sure about the exact detail and whether this world would have the same history as what he had read.

"We're here." Long Qian Xing looked at the temple and then waved his hand to his guards, telling them not to follow the two of them.

The monk greeted the two of them politely when he saw they came. He smiled. "It's rare to see you two here."

"We're here to burn incenses and paid a visit to Empress Dowager Yan." Long Qian Xing smiled. "I heard that she had been staying here due to her poor health."

Empress Dowager Yan, Yan Jin Nian.

After the upheaval in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City and also the drama where her own life experience was leaked out, her reputation had plummeted while the Yan Family was slowly thriving.

Because of her poor health, Yan Jin Nian had been staying in Yi Shang Temple. She had no interest to stay in the palace because she knew how much blood had actually been spilled there.

Just during the time when she was still there, there had been uncountable number of people who died for the sake of power. So many people just wanted to be able to stay with the Emperor and become the mother of the next Emperor.

Servants died for the slightest bit of mistake.

Many concubines were killed due to various incidents.

For Yan Jin Nian, the beautifully decorated palace was nothing more than a dirty place. She felt that her already poor health would only become worse if she were to stay in such a place.

Thus, she had been staying in Yi Shang Temple.

Slowly, her name was forgotten.

The matter of war and the fact that Emperor Yang Zhou had several children spread out instead. They were more concerned with these people who were currently in power in the Imperial Palace rather than the Empress Dowager who had already left the 'battlefield' and stayed in the temple.

The monk looked at the two of them and bowed. "Empress Dowager Yan is staying in the east pavilion. There will be someone to bring you there."

"I'll go first." Nan Hua cupped her fist and walked towards the East Pavilion. Having stayed here in the past, she knew the direction very well.

Right now, the pavilion had been half repaired and half abandoned. Some pavilion that looked good before now looked really bad and vice versa. It was unknown why the temple didn't take care everything thoughtfully.

As Nan Hua was about to turn, she stopped.

In front of her was a monk, walking in a leisure manner without caring for anything around him.

However, Nan Hua could still remember him.

The same monk as the one she met back then.

"It's been a while," Nan Hua said in a low voice.

The monk lowered his head and looked at Nan Hua, smiling brightly. "It seems that you're still alive, young girl. Looking at your condition, you have passed quite a lot of trials and bloodsheds."

Nan Hua was noncommittal.

There were some people who could see through other people's future through some means. Even if their calculation was not completely clear and accurate, they could still guess more or less about what the future other people would hold.

But these kind of abilities were not without price.

Just like the Jun Family who passed down the method for their descendant. Once some requirement was met, they would be able to see the future at their own cost.

"You have a great destiny, young girl. I believe you know it yourself." The monk looked at Nan Hua deeply. "But what would happen in the future depends on how you use your abilities. Don't rely too much on it because it might destroy you."

Nan Hua cupped her fist. "Thank you for your advice, this one will keep it in mind."

The monk laughed at Nan Hua's action. He had seen many people who come to the temple, but Nan Hua's star fate could be said to be the most interesting one he had ever seen.

"You have the power to change a lot of people's lives but at the same time, you've taken a lot of lives and saved more lives." The monk shook his head and sighed. "I wish you success, Young Girl."

Nan Hua didn't answer and watched as the monk walked away in leisure steps. There were some things that couldn't be said to the outsiders.

Just like when she was about to mention about her abilities and the cost <memory> but she wouldn't be able to say it out loud.

It's a secret of the Heaven.

A secret that only they themselves could carry.

Her abilities could indeed change a lot of people's lives, but Nan Hua was not exactly sure what it meant by having a great destiny. For all she knew, she only wanted to protect those who were important to her.

But this conversation with this monk was kept within her mind.
