Separating Colours; Textile House Wide Open

**Separating Colours; Textile House Wide Open** ("Liǎng Fēn Yánsè Dà Kāi Rǎnfáng") is the 130th chapter of the *Heaven Official's Blessing* novel.‎

## Summary

The eighty-year-old woman reveals to be the Half-Maquillage Woman. While the more blood and flesh they consume, the younger the bottom half of their face would appear, but the upper half of the face would appear older.

Xie Lian emerges from the bath and approaches the monster, followed by Quan Yizhen. The Half-Maquillage Woman claims not to have stolen the Brocade Immortal, saying it was picked up in the Ghost City.

Xie Lian understands this interrogation is fruitless. Thus, he asks Quan Yizhen if one of his heavenly officials could come collect this female ghost. However, as the Martial God has not a single deputy general, Xie Lian has no choice but to seal the monster away in a clay jar.

With a simple look, Quan Yizhen affirms this robe is a fake because the real Brocade Immortal is way more powerful than this. It intrigues Xie Lian who wonders how he can be so certain of that. Quan Yizhen does not have the time to answer as he receives information from Ling Wen. Another ghost with the Brocade Immortal appeared miles away from Puqi Shrine.

Xie Lian then asks Ling Wen if Qi Ying has seen the Brocade Immortal before. As a child, Quan Yizhen has been taken in by Yin Yu, the head disciple in their sect. Once he ascended in heavens, Yin Yu named him a deputy general. But Quan Yizhen ascended too and became the Martial God of the west like Yin Yu. Thus, they decided to govern the west together. However, Quan Yizhen became more powerful than Yin Yu. One year for Quan Yizhen's birthday, Yin Yu gifted him the Brocade Immortal. For that reason, he was banished immediately.

Ling Wen reports that there are now twenty-seven to twenty-eight ghosts bringing the Brocade Immortal. As it has been stolen, many ghosts should have taken the opportunity to sell fake Brocade Immortals. Considering all the locations Ling Wen gave, Xie Lian decided to first go to an abandoned textile house, which is closer to the Puqi Shrine. He tries to make Lang Ying stay back at the Shrine but he finally brings him along.

Xie Lian, Quan Yizhen and Lang Ying hurry on their way in the night. They are suddenly stopped by ghosts carrying a step-litter. Xie Lian recognises them; he has met them in the Ghost City. When they propose to help give them a ride, Quan Yizhen exclaims he wants to go into the step-litter but he is thrown onto the ground. Only Xie Lian and Lang Ying can go into the step-litter.

They soon arrive at the abandoned textile house but they hear wailing voices. They come to see what is happening and they bump into a black-clad, ghost-masked man who emerge from within the house. This man is none other but Hua Cheng's servant with a cursed shackle on his wrist: Yin Yu.
