The Journey Of Flower

Chapter 63/64

I have translated 80% of this chapter in detail because 1. this is a really short chapter and 2. the details in this chapter really marks the crucial turning point in the book where hua qian gu decides to embark on the road of no return by stealing the instruments. It is at this point you can see how much she has fallen for BZH and how much Dong Fang cares for her yet accepts she will never be his. Enjoy =) 

Hua Qian Gu's eyes lit up like two stars in the night sky, instantly becoming more alive. 

"What is it?"" Dong Fang gave a deep sigh as though he had decided on something: "Nu Wa Stone." Hua Qian Gu knew that the healing powers of the Nu Wa Stone was unparalleled in this world. It could even raised the dead. 

However she look at him in confusion:

 "But isn't the Nu Wa stone shattered?" 

"The Ancient Instruments of the Gods have the ability to seal the Demon God's power. If it really was destroyed, the immortals would have have been destroyed long ago. Nu Wa Stone has merely been shattered into fragments. yet it still exists in different corners of the world." 

Hua Qian Gu ectastically pulled his hand. "This is great! Shi Fu is saved." Dong Fang shook his head and locked his eyebrows in a deep creased: " Do you really want to retrieve thousands of fragments one by one? By the time you even recover one tenth of the stone, your Shi Fu would have died." This hard earned hope was extinguished in an instant.

 "There must surely be a way, right?" Dong Fang did not dare to look at Hua Qian Gu's earnest gaze, as though his words would point her on the road of no return the moment it left his mouth. Yet, if she did not save Bai Zi Hua, she would lose all desire to leave. The demon God will be born. It was just a matter of whether it would be earlier or later.

 If Xiao Gu was given this opportunity, she could save Bai Zi Hua and perhaps reverse her own fate at the same time. "The 16 instruments have a mysterious connection. If you find find a few, you can use certain spells to find the rest. If you gather all 16, then the Nu Wa Stone will be restored." Hua Qian Gu nodded."

 Is that why Chun Qiu Bu Bai slowly gathered each piece?" Dong Fang Yu Qing gave a light sigh: "So, you understand what I am worried about?" "You are worried that I will insist on finding the 15 instruments and using the Nu a stone to cure Shi Fu. Even though my motive is different, what I am doing is essentially the same as what Chun Qiu Bu Bai are doing.

 Gathering all the instruments i dangerous because if I am not cautious and accidentally break the seal, the Demon God will be born again." Dong Fang Yu Qing knew from her expression that she had already set her mind to it. "You need to know that your Shi Fu has always seen protecting the world as his responsibility. Even if he dies, he will not let you gather all the instruments and give the Demon God a chance to be born."

 "So we must not let him know." Hua Qian Gu's expression showed a rationality and determination that was totally at odds with her appearance. The knowledge that there was a solution to Shi Fu's poison put at ease her mind which had been in a state of confusion and desperation. "I will do my best to protect the instruments and not let the demon god be born." 

"But, the Dong Huang Clock is now at Chang Bai Mountain, the Kong Tong Seal is at Tian Mountain, the Xuan Tia Umbrella is with Sha Qian Mo and the Gou Lan Jade is missing. All the other eleven instruments are in your Shi Fu's Xu Ding. Do you think you can gather them?" 

"There must be a way!" Since this concerns Shi Fu's life, she will get it no matter what. Dong Fang Yu Qing gave yet another long sigh, his gaze full of despair as he looked at her. "Actually I know that even if I tell you that gathering the instruments will cause the Demon God to be born and cause great calamity to the masses. As long as you can save Bai Zi Hua, you will still do it right?" Hua Qian Gu shook her head without much conviction: "I don't know.
