The main problem was how she could hide herself from Celestial Master Zuo after escaping?
That person was so clingy and annoying. Wherever she went, he could still easily catch her…
"Little Cang, how could he possibly catch me? Would it be that he has a locator on my body?"
"Master, I saw that his finger had an extra black ring. It looked like it was made with hair and those hairs were yours…"
Gu Xijiu, "…" She was indeed clever, "Don’t tell me that he had placed a Black Hair Curse on me?"
"I’m afraid that this might be the case."
Gu Xijiu slightly frowned.
The Black Hair Curse was a very complicated kind of black magic. The ring was made with the hair of the person being tracked. Only if the person being tracked still has hair, the owner of the ring could sense the victim's location.
Gu Xijiu grasped her hands, wondering how free Celestial Master Zuo was.
He actually spent so much time on such a nobody like her!
And she trusted that ring was a token of engagement with her - which turned out to be utter nonsense!
She touched her hair and Firmament Stone shuddered, "Master, don’t tell me you are going to shave your head?! Even if you shaved yourself, the roots are still there and he can still track you down."
Gu Xijiu laughed, tapped on the Firmament Stone lightly, "No, not by shaving. I’ll have a way to deal with this Black Hair Curse!" She was, after all, proficient in black magic, hence, it was not difficult for her to break this Black Hair Curse.
She did not realize that the ring was made from hair, she thought it resembled a jet…
And this man could actually transform the hairy ring into a jet - he indeed showed great prowess!
She had hatched a plan in her mind but she remained calm.
Suddenly, she raised her head and saw a circular staircase built with white jade, which was glittering in front of her.
The staircase led to the second floor. And she wondered what could possibly be on the second floor?
She was curious and looked upwards. As the door on the second floor was partially opened, she thought that she might be able to enter.
Therefore, Gu Xijiu climbed the staircase and went up to the second floor.
In contrast, Mo Yuyan was shocked to see that staircase, because it was not easily seen! But why today?
She gazed towards the second floor, saw the partially opened door and suddenly had a thought!
The second floor was a forbidden area that nobody was allowed to enter. Besides, there was no door to the second floor at all!
And it suddenly appeared now. Did it mean it allowed Sir Gu to enter?
What did the second floor have? Would it be dangerous?
Mo Yuyan was very nervous and wanted to warn Gu Xijiu but she seemed to have thought of something and held back.
Celestial Master Zuo always did things mysteriously. Probably he opened up here so that Sir Gu could enter…
As Gu Xijiu entered, her heart skipped a beat after she clearly saw the decorations!
The second floor was not large. And it had nothing but filled with drawings of the same person.
The jade statue!
The drawings were the different characteristics of the jade statue!
Meditating, standing, sitting slanted, practicing kungfu, drinking tea or lying down…various postures were drawn perfectly!
The same person and the same robe, but only one has its face while the rest were wearing different masks, such as a green face with jagged, saw-like teeth, a stiff and straight face as well as a cheerful mask…
And the one with its face was the one meditating. It was totally the same as what Gu Xijiu had seen in the cave; even the hand positions and hairstyle were the same.
Gu Xijiu, "…"
These were?
"Little Cang, do you recognize this person?" Gu Xijiu pointed towards those drawings and felt her heart beating fast.
"The Lord!" The Firmament Stone answered without any hesitation.
Gu Xijiu was shocked!
She heard about The Lord - the sovereign god of this land! The god above everything else who was worshipped by all beings and had become a character of legends.
His existence on this land was like Jesus in the heart of every Christian or the Jade Emperor of the Taoists.
It was said that The Lord might not appear even once in a hundred years. Occasionally showing off some miracles was enough for all beings to worship him for a long period of time.
It was also known that The Lord did not like to be offered sacrifices. Therefore, nobody dared to offer him any. Otherwise, Gu Xijiu would be able to see his drawings at the mansion of the general.
Gu Xijiu observed these drawings and cannot help herself but inquire about the omniscient Firmament Stone, "What say you, would this be Celestial Master Zuo, The Lord?"
"Definitely not!" The Firmament Stone vehemently denied, "The Lord is the holiest person in the world and will not be influenced by worldly things. He always shows himself during disasters to save the people. Besides, even if he had appeared in front of anyone, it was definitely unexpected. Also, he usually doesn’t talk to anybody."
The legend about The Lord which Gu Xijiu heard was the same as what the Firmament Stone had spoke of. So, was that the truth?
She pointed at the drawing with a face, "Does The Lord seriously looks like this?"
"Perhaps, but I haven’t seen it before. I only saw The Lord wearing masks."
"But he looks like Celestial Master Zuo! It seems like they’re of the same person." Gu Xijiu muttered, "Could they be twin brothers?"
"It should not be. It was known that The Lord is of the same age as this world. And from what I know, Celestial Master Zuo is presently about 100 years old only." The Firmament Stone revealed everything it knew.
"Then, why do they look so similar? Don’t tell me that Celestial Master Zuo is the reincarnation of The Lord?" Gu Xijiu came out with another guess.
"No, they don’t look the same! Their characteristics are totally different and thus, they don’t appear to be the same person. As for why their faces look alike, master, would it be that Celestial Master Zuo admires The Lord or he aims to be like The Lord. Therefore, he imagined that he was The Lord and drew himself similar to The Lord." The Firmament Stone thought process was so good that it figured out another possibility.
Gu Xijiu, "…" It was indeed possible! After all, it was said that Wu Zetian had let someone carve a Guanyin Statue with her face as reference…
"Little Cang, have you ever seen the real Lord then? The living one."
Firmament Stone replied, "No…" Actually, it did not come to this world long enough to know.
Gu Xijiu was pondering hard, while tapping on the bracelet.
Celestial Master Zuo did not only secretly possess a series of drawings of The Lord, he also carved a jade statue and put in the corner of a cave. That jade statue did not only appear to be life-like, its symbol of man was also carved perfectly too…
She suddenly recalled of what she heard accidentally this afternoon. It seemed that the Celestial Master Zuo was gay and that fact had worried his attendants…
A rather bold speculation came to her mind: would Celestial Master Zuo admire The Lord?!
He drew him, carved him and even imitated him…
Oops, she seemed to have unearthed the biggest secret of Celestial Master Zuo!
Knowing more secrets of great men would cause one to meet their doom faster and Gu Xijiu knew clearly about this universal truth.
Therefore, she quickly went back downstairs and saw Mo Yuyan still waiting for her.
Gu Xijiu asked inadvertently, "Why didn’t you go up with me?"
