Yixuan has sent you a DM. Check it out.

I remembered an old movie — Heart Sutra of Blazing Fire

There are scenes of mystic arts and techniques

It might prove helpful for you

REPLY

Really? Thank you, Shifu!

Shifu is so thoughtful!

No worries, it wasn't much trouble

The movie is really interesting

Sometimes when you watch something again, you find new insights

Let's watch it together when you're free

REPLY

No problem!

No problem, I should have that movie in storage. Let's watch it together whenever you're free, Shifu!

Okay, it's a plan.

Sure, let's watch it together!

Perfect timing! I should have that one in storage — let's watch it together when you're free

Sure.

I'll go with you to Sixth Street when you're free

Chat with Yixuan

 Step Description

Yixuan has arrived as promised. Let's have a chat with her.

(Idle)

Yixuan: Time to take another look...

(Talk to Yixuan)

Yixuan: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), you're here. About that Heart Sutra of Blazing Fire we talked about — did you find the videotape?

Yes, I did!

Yixuan: That's good to hear.

Yixuan: Even though it's more of a blockbuster movie, they still paid attention to the details.

Yixuan: You should watch it, it might give you some ideas... Think of it as a tutorial video.

Sounds good!

Yixuan: Mhm, this film's quality is quite remarkable. I'm even thinking about using it as a teaching reference for rookie disciples.

Yixuan: But let's not overthink it today, just enjoy watching for now.

Yixuan: As for details on the mystic arts, let's discuss them after we finish watching.

After getting some snacks ready, the two find their seats to watch the movie.

The following is recorded in the Partner Archive

 "Love and Tribulations"

---

Story Description: You were supposed to watch "Heart Sutra of Blazing Fire" with Yixuan, but something seems off about the videotape...

---

---

Yixuan: As expected, your store is much more suited for watching films in peace.

Yixuan: Well then, since we're all set, let's see what the famous "Heart Sutra of Blazing Fire" is all about.

The movie starts playing on the screen, but strangely enough, it doesn't seem related to mysticism at all...
Instead, you only see a man and a woman gazing at each other passionately from a distance.
Hold on — this isn't a romance film, is it?

After an emotional and sorrowful scene, bold letters suddenly appear on the screen: "Star-Crossed."

Yixuan: Looks like this is actually a tape of "Star-Crossed," not "Heart Sutra of Blazing Fire"...

Yixuan: There must've been a mix-up when they made the tape.

Should we watch a different one instead?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍How about we switch to something else?How about we switch to something else?Text for Wise / Uh... Maybe we should watch something else?Uh... Maybe we should watch something else?Text for Belle‍)

Yixuan: No need. I am somewhat interested in this "Star-Crossed" movie as well... Let's continue watching.

Should we keep watching this one?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍So... Do you wanna keep on watching this one?So... Do you wanna keep on watching this one?Text for Wise / So... Are we gonna keep on watching this one?So... Are we gonna keep on watching this one?Text for Belle‍)

Yixuan: Let's continue watching. I find this "Star-Crossed" movie quite interesting.

You and Yixuan watch the entire romantic movie "Star-Crossed" together...
While the plot is a bit cliche, it's still pretty moving.

Even though Yixuan looks as calm as ever, if you watch closely, you can see her lashes tremble ever so slightly at the most emotional moments of the film. Seems like she is also saddened by the protagonists' ill-fated love.

After the sentimental ending song fades, Yixuan finally lets out a soft sigh.

Yixuan: So the mystics in the movie didn't overcome their ill-fated tribulation in the end...

Yixuan: But dying alongside the one you love, maybe that's not such a bad ending.

Yixuan: All in all, it was a good movie. I enjoyed it.

That's unexpected.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍I didn't think you'd be into this kind of movie. I thought romance films weren't your thing.I didn't think you'd be into this kind of movie. I thought romance films weren't your thing.Text for Wise / That's kinda unexpected. I thought romance films weren't really your thing.That's kinda unexpected. I thought romance films weren't really your thing.Text for Belle‍)

Yixuan: Well, I don't have strong preferences when it comes to movies — I'll watch anything.

I liked it too.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍SameSameText for Wise / YeahYeahText for Belle‍), I really liked it too.

Yixuan: That's good. Seems like we have similar tastes in movies.

Yixuan: Now that I think about it, many films like to base their stories around a mystic's trial of the heart...

What's your take on trials of the heart?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): That's true... Speaking of which, what's your take on trials of the heart, Yixuan Shifu?

Yixuan: Just another part of life.

Have you ever experienced one?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Have you ever experienced a trial of the heart?

Yixuan: ...I have not.

Yixuan: Practicing is about refining one's heart. I reckon that anything in this world — any person, any event — can serve as an aid in one's path.

Yixuan: Trials of the heart are merely one of them.

Yixuan: Sometimes, getting overly fixated on what one shouldn't do is just another trial to overcome.

Yixuan: So, there's no need to let such things hold you back.

Suddenly, you feel a cool touch on your forehead...
Yixuan's fingertip gently taps between your brows.

Yixuan: You've got potential. I believe you can understand what I'm saying.

Yixuan: Well, now that we've finished the movie, why don't we meditate for a while?

Yixuan: Meditating outside the temple can also do you some good.

(Yixuan can now promote the video store.)

(Idle)

Yixuan: Looks like I'll have to check out the Heart Sutra of Blazing Fire again next time.

(Talk to Yixuan again, optional)

Yixuan: Even though we watched the wrong video, it wasn't half bad.

Yixuan: Let's take it easy today. After all, knowing when to exert yourself and when to recover is what training's all about.

Yixuan: Let's watch again when we find the Heart Sutra of Blazing Fire next time.
