129: Entering the Dao and opening one's mind
Chapter 129: Entering the Dao and Aperture Opening
"How could this be?"
"Oh heavens, why do you treat me like this?"
"Why is fate so unfair, making my two daughters and I go together to..."
Ruan Xingzhu almost vomited blood.
Looking at her two beautiful daughters on the bed, she wanted to acknowledge them, but remembering last night's madness, she had to suppress that impulsive thought.
"No, I cannot acknowledge them."
"If I do, how will I face them?"
Ruan Xingzhu hurriedly put on her clothes, carefully put away the two golden tokens again, and then fled the room... A Zhu and A Zi did not know. After they woke up, they also flushed red and quickly put on their clothes, neither daring to look at the other.
However, when A Zhu returned to her room to bathe, a golden token splashed onto the floor. She intended to put it away but suddenly paused, "Strange, this golden token doesn't seem to be mine?"
A Zhu flipped the golden token over and saw that the birth characters engraved on it were completely different from hers, but the style and Materials of the golden token were exactly the same, which puzzled her.
"What, what is this situation?"
"Where is my golden token?"
"Whose golden token is this? Why is everything the same as mine except for the engraved birth characters?"
A Zhu was full of doubts. She was certain that her golden token never left her side and could not have been swapped.
Moreover, she put away her golden token every day, so there couldn't be a mistake.
Unless... "Could it be that I took the wrong one last night? Judging by the age on the birth characters, it seems to be A Zi's, but how could A Zi have such a golden token?"
A Zhu gripped the golden token, deciding to go ask A Zi... "How did my golden token end up in your hand?"
A Zi snatched the golden token from A Zhu's hand and asked in confusion.
"Is this really yours?"
A Zhu frowned slightly.
"Of course it's mine. This golden token has been on me since I was little."
A Zi held the golden token in both hands, staring at A Zhu with a wary expression.
Then, as if remembering something else, "That's not right, I just felt my golden token was still on me, how could it appear in your hand?"
As A Zi spoke, she felt her waist, then froze in place. After a moment, she took out another golden token from her waist with a look of surprise and uncertainty, "Strange, why does this golden token look exactly like mine?"
A Zi saw the content, "But the content is different."
"Because that's mine."
A Zhu took back her own golden token and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the familiar birth characters inside.
"But why do our golden tokens look exactly the same?"
A Zi was full of questions.
"That's what I want to ask you."
A Zhu rolled her eyes; she also felt strange.
"Perhaps it's just a coincidence."
A Zi put away her golden token, unconcerned.
Although A Zhu was still very curious, she had no clue at the moment.
Although she had also considered that A Zi might have some blood relation to her, this thought was quickly dismissed, as she felt that such a coincidence could not exist in the world.
"Perhaps I can find an opportunity to ask Young Master Murong. Young Master Murong might know something, and since I was adopted by the Murong Family, there might be records about my background."
A Zhu thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Ruan Xingzhu was absent-minded all day.
"How could this be..."
"Could A Zhu and A Zi really be my daughters?"
Ruan Xingzhu murmured to herself. The golden tokens matched, and the birthmarks she had left on them were also identical, both in shape and position. It couldn't be faked.
Moreover, only she knew these things, so no one could fake them.
Although Ruan Xingzhu sometimes thought of her daughters and missed them, at this moment, she didn't wish A Zhu and A Zi were her daughters at all.
Last night, the three of them were completely open with each other, doing all sorts of difficult and shameful things.
If the day came when they knew each other's identities, one could imagine how embarrassing it would be. Ruan Xingzhu felt like dying.
"Yes, as long as I don't tell, no one will know about our relationship."
"Only I know about the birthmarks on A Zhu and A Zi. I'll pretend not to know, pretend nothing happened."
Ruan Xingzhu thought to herself.
But a hint of concern unconsciously arose, "I wonder if they've been doing well all these years."
If she hadn't known, it would have been fine, but now that she knew their identities and they were under the same roof, it was hard not to want to get closer to them.
"However, would Murong Fu know about this?"
Ruan Xingzhu's heart suddenly stirred, and a hint of panic arose.
After all, everything was too coincidental.
And since her daughters were adopted, the other party might have investigated their origins.
"What if Murong Fu knows?"
"Perhaps I should find an opportunity to sound him out and prepare early."
Ruan Xingzhu thought to herself, but she didn't dare tell Duan Zhengchun about this.
Although A Zhu and A Zi were Duan Zhengchun's daughters.
However, Duan Zhengchun had already suffered enough shock. If he knew that his two daughters had also become Murong Fu's women, he might be directly angered to death.
Therefore, she could only keep this matter hidden in her heart... [Current World: demi-gods and semi-devils]
[Host: Ning Yuan (Murong Fu)]
[Luck: 500]
[Talent: A Thousand Miles a Day (Active: Double Cultivate Speed)]
[Cultivation: Aperture Opening Early Stage]
[Martial Arts: Bei Ming Divine Skill, Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, Six Meridian Divine Sword, Lingbo Microstep, Star Shift, Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Life and Death Talisman]
[Departure Countdown: 2 days.]
"Five hundred Luck!"
Ning Yuan took a deep breath. The source of this Luck was not only from his entering the Dao and reaching an unprecedented realm but also partly from the deaths of Xiao Yuanshan and Jiumozhi.
He had absorbed their Cultivation, so there was also a certain increase.
All these factors combined, his Luck doubled.
"In today's Jianghu, there are not many people left who can help me quickly improve my Cultivation. I don't know if the Sweeping Monk can help me Breakthrough to the Aperture Opening Middle Stage."
Ning Yuan thought to himself.
But he didn't have the subsequent Cultivation Technique for Aperture Opening, especially those involving the nine natural apertures.
Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, front yin, back yin.
These would all connect to the five Zang and six Fu organs. After being condensed, they would strengthen the organs and enhance the five senses.
However, although Bei Ming Divine Skill could open all the hundred apertures around the body and store Bei Ming True Qi, it did not have a subsequent Aperture Opening method for these nine apertures.
Ning Yuan also didn't dare to try rashly, because these nine apertures were extremely fragile. Once a mistake was made, it could damage the foundation. Blindness and deafness were considered light. If the Qianyin was injured and he became a eunuch, that would be terrible.
"Before entering the next world, I must find a Dao Foundation Realm Cultivation Technique, study its Aperture Opening method, and Cultivate it in the next world. Even if there are mistakes, there will be room for maneuver."
Ning Yuan had an idea, and with only two days left until departure, Ning Yuan also didn't plan to continue Cultivate...
"A Xing, why are you so distracted today? Do you have something on your mind?"
Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but ask, looking at Ruan Xingzhu, who was often lost in thought. Then his expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, "A Xing, did that scoundrel Murong Fu threaten you?"
"A Xing, promise me, you must not have any relationship with that Murong Fu. Even if I die, I don't want to see you fall into his clutches."
Duan Zhengchun shouted excitedly.
"Brother Chun, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Ruan Xingzhu immediately forced a smile and comforted him.
But after leaving the room, Ruan Xingzhu couldn't help but come near A Zi's room.
A Zi happened to come out and bumped into the sneaking Ruan Xingzhu, her expression changed slightly, and she said unpleasantly: "Madam, what are you doing here? I've seen you looking this way several times. What is your purpose?"
"Don't think that just because we were open with each other yesterday and did those things, you're very familiar with me. Let me tell you, that was just a temporary act; we're not familiar with you."
A Zi said bluntly.
Ruan Xingzhu's face showed a hint of awkwardness, then she said: "Miss A Zi misunderstood. I came here just to see you. Seeing you reminds me of my daughters. Speaking of which, my daughters are also your age."
Hearing this, A Zi's expression softened a bit, but she still said coldly: "Don't say that, you're lowering my seniority for no reason. If we're really counting now, we're just sisters."
"Sisters?"
Ruan Xingzhu's smile looked a bit forced.
She naturally knew what A Zi meant.
And what A Zi said was indeed correct; what they did could indeed only be considered sisters.
"Miss A Zi misunderstood."
Ruan Xingzhu quickly waved her hand, "I just haven't seen my daughters for many years. Seeing you and Miss A Zhu, I miss my daughters so much that I came to see you. It's not really..."
"Then where are your daughters?"
A Zi asked curiously.
Ruan Xingzhu looked embarrassed, then sighed, "To be honest, for some reasons, my daughters were given away after birth. I have never seen them, nor do I know where they are or how they are doing."
Ruan Xingzhu's face showed a hint of sadness, "So seeing Miss A Zi, who is of similar age, I couldn't help but feel this longing."
"So that's how it is."
A Zi nodded in understanding. This time, her attitude softened considerably. She led Ruan Xingzhu to sit in the courtyard and comforted her, "It seems you are also a pitiful person, but you don't need to worry too much. Good people are blessed by heaven. I am also an orphan, and Senior Sister A Zhu is also an orphan, and we are both doing very well."
"Miss A Zi and Miss A Zhu are also orphans?"
Ruan Xingzhu's heart stirred, then she showed a surprised expression.
A Zi nodded, not wanting to say more.
Ruan Xingzhu's heart was complex, and she became even more certain that A Zhu and A Zi were her daughters. Unfortunately, she couldn't acknowledge them now, so she could only force a smile and try to sound them out, "Then, Miss A Zi, can you tell me about your past? I also want to know how hard it is for a girl to live alone in this world."
A Zi didn't think much of it, she just snorted, "There's nothing good to talk about in my past. I grew up in the Xingxiu Sect. The Senior Brothers there were all evil, with vicious hearts. To survive, you had to be more cunning than others, more ruthless than others, more poisonous than others. Strike first, or suffer later. Luckily, I'm smart, and they couldn't do anything to me."
A Zi said with considerable pride.
To be able to thrive in an environment like the Xingxiu Sect was certainly something to be proud of.
But when Ruan Xingzhu heard these things, her heart ached, and her face couldn't help but show a hint of heartache and self-blame, "I didn't expect you to have such a hard life. You must have suffered a lot over the years, right?"
Ruan Xingzhu couldn't help but say in a low voice.
Although she couldn't acknowledge them at this moment, she already knew that A Zi was her daughter, so how could she not care?
Even if she had actively given them away initially and failed to fulfill her parental duties.
A Zi paused, a complex expression on her face. For so many years, no one had ever said such words to her, no one had cared for her so much. However, A Zi quickly returned to normal, "It's nothing, I'm used to it. This is nothing. Now that Old Monster of Xingxiu is also dead, when I go back in the future, I will be the Sect Head of the Xingxiu Sect."
A Zi put her hands on her hips, full of youthful vigor.
With her current status, she indeed had the qualifications to be the Sect Head of the Xingxiu Sect.
But this made Ruan Xingzhu even more heartbroken. She had indulged in her own pleasure back then, giving her two daughters to others, never imagining that her daughters would face such danger outside, making her feel incredibly conflicted at this moment.
