The Poisonous Concubine is alive
Chapter 86 The Mysterious Goddess and Saint
Sometimes Liu Yunrou feels that her memory has recovered early.
But I feel like this is not my memory.
Liu Yunrou closed her eyes and tried to recall the past. She remembered some vague scenes and characters, but when she tried to grasp them, they dissipated like smoke.
She felt depressed and didn't know how to find the truth. Just then, she heard a knock on the door. After opening the door, she saw a mysterious stranger.
The stranger handed her a piece of paper with an address on it. Liu Yunrou felt an inexplicable urge in her heart, and she decided to go to the address on the paper.
Liu Yunrou arrived at the address on the note and discovered an ancient temple. A tranquil atmosphere permeated the temple. As she entered, she saw a senior monk meditating. The monk looked up, his gaze clear and wise, as if piercing Liu Yunrou's heart. He told her that only through practice and meditation could she find her true self. Liu Yunrou decided to follow the monk's advice and remain at the temple to practice. In the days that followed, she immersed herself in the Buddhist teachings, carefully cultivating the inner peace and strength. Gradually, her memory began to clear...
The name Liu Yunrou sounded quite classical, as if it contained some kind of story behind it. If she felt like she came from a mysterious family, it might be because her family had a long history, a unique cultural heritage, or possessed some unknown secret knowledge or skills.
In traditional Chinese culture, aristocratic families often refer to those with prominent family backgrounds, profound cultural heritage, and unique family traditions. If Liu Yunrou's family were such an aristocratic family, she might have the following feelings or experiences:
1. **Ancient Legends**: There are many ancient legends circulating in the family. These stories may involve the heroic deeds of ancestors, strange adventures or some mysterious mission.
2. **Unique Education**: Receive an education different from that of ordinary people from a young age, including but not limited to literature, martial arts, art, philosophy, etc. These educational contents may integrate the family's unique thoughts and wisdom.
3. **Mysterious Rituals**: Families may retain certain ancient rituals and traditions. These rituals may be kept secret from the outside world and performed only within the family.
4. **Family Mission**: Liu Yunrou may be fully aware that she shoulders a certain family mission, which may be to protect an important secret, pass on a certain skill, or maintain the family's honor.
5. **Mysterious Power**: In some stories, aristocratic families may possess some kind of mysterious power or knowledge, such as feng shui, divination, internal strength, etc. These abilities are usually unknown to the outside world.
6. **Family symbols**: A family may have certain symbols, such as family crests, keepsakes, etc. These items carry the family’s history and culture.
If Liu Yunrou's feelings are based on real-life clues or experiences, she might be deeply interested in exploring her family history and carrying on her family's culture. If they stem more from her imagination or creativity, she might be someone with a penchant for fantasy and a rich inner world. In either case, these feelings add a sense of mystery and allure to Liu Yunrou's identity.
As her practice deepened, Liu Yunrou's medical skills became increasingly refined. One day, she encountered a patient suffering from a rare illness in a temple. Applying her skills, Liu Yunrou successfully cured him. The patient, overwhelmed with gratitude, gifted Liu Yunrou with an ancient book before leaving. Liu Yunrou, perusing the book, discovered a mysterious acupuncture technique. Her dedication to this technique further advanced her skills. Soon after, a miraculous healer appeared on the scene. Her elusive whereabouts and countless lifesaving services earned her the nickname "Medical Fairy."
1. **Family worship**: Families may have regular worship services to honor their ancestors or family guardian spirits. These rituals may be very unique, involving specific rites, prayers, and offerings.
2. **Handed-down skills**: A family may possess some unique skills or crafts, such as antique restoration, Chinese medicine preparation, martial arts secrets, etc. These skills are only passed down within the family and not passed on to outsiders.
3. **Naming customs**: Families may have special naming traditions, such as naming newborns based on the five elements, eight characters, family generation names, or specific meanings.
4. **Coming of Age Ceremony**: Family members may need to undergo a coming of age ceremony when they reach a certain age. This ceremony may be a task that tests wisdom and courage, or some symbolic activity that marks the member's official entry into the family.
5. **Family Discipline**: A family may have its own set of codes of conduct and moral norms, which are passed down from generation to generation to guide the behavior and decision-making of family members.
6. **Library**: A family may own a library that houses a large collection of ancient books, secret volumes, and precious documents. These books may contain the family's history, academic research, and esoteric knowledge.

10. **Secret language**: Family members may use a special language or codeword to communicate secretly when necessary without being known by others.
These traditions may have profound historical backgrounds and cultural significance. For members of Liu Yunrou's family, they are not only a symbol of identity, but also a symbol of responsibility.
1. **Knowledge Assessment**: The coming-of-age ceremony may begin with a knowledge assessment to examine the younger generation's understanding of family history, culture, skills, and traditional knowledge. This may be demonstrated through oral questions and answers, written articles, or practical operations.

6. **Granting of a token**: At the end of the coming-of-age ceremony, the family may grant the young person a token of adulthood and family identity, such as a family crest, special jewelry, or a book that records the family history.
7. **Family Oath**: Young members may be required to swear an oath of loyalty to the family, promising to uphold the family honor and carry on the family culture and mission.
8. **Celebration Banquet**: After the coming-of-age ceremony, the family may hold a grand banquet and invite relatives and friends to celebrate the young people's coming of age. It is also a display of family unity and strength.
9. **Retreat**: In some mystical family traditions, the coming-of-age ceremony may also include a period of retreat, allowing young people to find themselves through solitude and meditation and deepen their understanding of family traditions.
10. **Inheritance Mission**: A coming-of-age ceremony may be the moment when young people accept the family inheritance mission. They may be given the responsibility to protect family secrets, pass on specific skills, or carry out an important mission.
This coming-of-age ceremony is not only a process of physical maturity, but also an important moment of spiritual growth, responsibility awakening, and cultural identity. For Liu Yunrou, this may be an experience that she will remember for the rest of her life.
In the dim light of dawn, Liu Yunrou stood alone in the ancient courtyard, gazing at the rising sun. A strange sense of emptiness and confusion welled up in her heart. Her memories seemed shrouded in a thin mist, and those once clear fragments were now blurred. She, Liu Yunrou, had once been a saint of the Phoenix Clan, possessing the power to purify the soul and foresee the future; she was also the goddess of the Crow Clan, maintaining the balance between darkness and light and protecting the peace of her people.
Yet, at some point, the memory of these identities began to dissipate in her mind, like dust blown away by the wind, never to coalesce into anything. Liu Yunrou felt a deep sense of loss. She tried to recall those glorious years, but could only grasp fragments. Her heart beat heavily, as if reminding her that behind those forgotten identities lay an inescapable responsibility and mission.
In the silent courtyard, Liu Yunrou closed her eyes, attempting to regain her lost memories through meditation. But no matter how hard she tried, the memories of the Phoenix Saint and the Crow Goddess remained elusive. A sense of panic welled up in her: If she couldn't even remember herself, how could she fulfill her duties as Saint and Goddess, and how could she face the people of her tribe who expected so much from her?
At this crucial moment, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing the sound of a distant temple bell, seemingly guiding her path. Liu Yunrou slowly opened her eyes, a flicker of determination in them. She knew that no matter how buried her memories were, the souls of the Phoenix Saint and the Crow Goddess remained within her. She must embark on a journey to discover the truth, lift the veil of oblivion, and reclaim her own identity and power.

The goddess is often seen as the embodiment of a god or natural force, symbolizing the connection between divinity and the human world. She represents the extension of the god's power, wisdom, and mercy into the human world.
In many myths, the goddess is associated with fertility and the image of the Earth Mother, symbolizing the creativity of life and the fertility of the earth.
Goddesses are sometimes also symbols of love and beauty, such as Aphrodite (the goddess of love and beauty) in Greek mythology, who represents mankind's pursuit of beauty and love.
In some legends, the goddess is responsible for maintaining the order and harmony of the universe, and her existence ensures that the world operates according to established rules.
The 5 goddesses are often associated with mysterious powers and unknowable realms, symbolizing human awe and exploration of the supernatural.
A saint is often seen as a role model of morality, whose life and behavior embody the highest moral standards and spiritual pursuits.
The saint symbolizes purity and innocence. She may make sacrifices for her beliefs or principles, and her life is often a symbol of dedication and self-sacrifice.
In religious life, saints may play the role of spiritual mentors, providing spiritual guidance and support to believers.
The saint's loyalty and persistence in her faith symbolizes mankind's belief and pursuit of self-transcendence.
The saint is sometimes considered a bridge between the earth and heaven, and her presence and prayers can help people get closer to God.
While the symbolism of the two is different, there are some overlaps between them. Here are some of the similarities:
- **Female Power**: Whether they are goddesses or saints, they all represent the symbol of female power, showing female wisdom, tenacity and kindness.
- **Transcendence**: They all transcend the limitations of ordinary humans and represent humanity's yearning and pursuit for a higher level of existence.
- **Cultural Heritage**: The images of goddesses and saints often carry specific cultural values and traditions and are an important part of cultural heritage.
The symbolic meanings of goddesses and saints may vary across different cultural and religious contexts, but their core qualities generally remain consistent, providing spiritual guidance and comfort to people.
Liu Yunrou combines the identities of a goddess, a saint, a witch, a member of the Qian clan, and other mysterious identities, making her an extremely complex and multifaceted character. The following is an in-depth exploration of the symbolic meaning of her multiple identities:
As a goddess, Liu Yunrou symbolizes celestial authority and divine grace. She may possess the ability to foresee the future, manipulate the elements, or heal illness, representing the divine care and intervention in humanity.
- She may have been a medium for conveying oracles, whose presence allowed mortals to sense the presence of the gods.
As a saint, Liu Yunrou embodies purity, sacrifice, and moral perfection. Her life and actions serve as a model for others to follow, and her story can encourage others to strive for higher moral standards.
- Her saintly status may have made her a religious or spiritual leader, providing guidance and comfort to believers.

- She may represent a deep connection to the natural world and insight into the mysteries of life.
If the Qian people are a unique ethnic group, Liu Yunrou's identity may symbolize ancient traditions and secret inheritance. The Qian people may have their own unique culture, history, and skills, and Liu Yunrou may be the guardian and disseminator of this knowledge.
- Her identity as a member of the Akane tribe may grant her a special mission, such as protecting an important relic or artifact.
Liu Yunrou may possess other, yet unknown, identities that symbolize deeper cosmic truths or powers. She may be a key figure in multiple legends and myths, and her existence may hold the key to unlocking ancient mysteries.
- Her other identities may represent balance and harmony, or be a mediator between opposing elements such as light and dark, life and death.
These identities of Liu Yunrou not only give her a rich character layer, but also add depth and complexity to the story. Her journey may revolve around discovering and integrating these identities, and each identity may become an important clue in the story, leading her to uncover her true destiny and the secrets of the world.
