" Xing An came over carrying his box and said, "In this world, besides us, few still know him. " Jiang Baigui walked over and said lightly, "That we know him is enough. " Xing An glanced at him. The two Sages never got along. Jiang Baigui's gaze searched among the Dao-attainers until at last he found one man, stepped forward, and asked, "Chief Sishen of the Creators?
Where is your mother?
" "My mother exhausted her lifespan in the year I attained the Dao. " Chief Sishen's face darkened as he said, "I arranged her reincarnation, but she would not awaken to her past life, willing to become an entirely new life.
I often go to see her.
She lives well now and no longer knows me.
" He carried a painting on his back, saying Lang Wan had bade him on her deathbed to take it to see that man in the Ancestral Court.
"May I look?
" Jiang Baigui asked.
Chief Sishen took down the painting and handed it to him. Jiang Baigui unrolled it.
In the painting there was a Jade Pool with flowers in the pool, and beside it a great green serpent visualized by divine consciousness, its head broad and wide.
Lang Wan stood upon the serpent's head, her manner not cold and aloof but shy like a young girl. Beside her, a youthful man visualized a fresh flower and offered it to her. Jiang Baigui rolled up the painting and returned it to Chief Sishen, and after a moment he lifted his head and said, "If Heaven had feeling, Heaven too would grow old.
Since the Divine King has chosen to grow old, we should not disturb her.
"
