Chapter 30, Nuwa’s Enlightenment
Fu Xi looked at Bai Jin, who had fallen into a state of Enlightenment, and smiled a little; his comprehension was not bad at all, and his hands plucked the strings of the instrument even more swiftly, the melody high-spirited and urgent.
Time passed unknown how much, the sound of the qin had long since faded, and Bai Jin suddenly snapped awake, dazed for a moment. He stood up and gave a deep bow, gratefully saying, "Many thanks, Uncle-Master, for imparting the Dao!"
Fu Xi accepted the bow calmly, with a hint of anticipation, he asked, "What have you realized?"
Bai Jin said excitedly, "The Dao of speed, Wind-controlling Cloud-piercing, Heavenly Flying Immortal."
Fu Xi nodded his head and smilingly said, "Not bad, speed indeed is a kind of life-saving ability." He stood up and said, "Let’s go! I’ll take you to meet Nuwa; she should have finished her Enlightenment by now."
Fu Xi walked outside, and Bai Jin followed behind him.
Bai Jin asked, "Has Nuwa Niangniang been in a state of Enlightenment this whole time?"
Fu Xi nodded and said, "Yes! She used to like traveling around Buzhou Mountain, but now she seldom goes out."
Bai Jin said understandingly, "My Master and my Master-uncles are the same, holed up in the palace every day, contemplating the Saint’s Dao, and as a result, they haven’t figured out anything. Sometimes I really worry about them, fearing that they might stifle themselves."
Fu Xi laughed heartily and said, "Below the Saints, all are ants; such a great Dao is not so easily understood!"
