Master Shen twitched his beard, "Is there... a contradiction?"
"Yes." Bai Fanlu said, "You need to think carefully before answering, otherwise, even if your son is cured this time, it will still happen again next time, and there will never be peace."
After thinking for a long time, Master Shen seemed to have guessed something, he sighed, "I wish him a good life, and I have nothing else to ask for."
Bai Fanlu felt relieved, "Because of the master's words, I believe that your son will get better soon."
Poor parents all over the world feel the same no matter which time and space they are in. Although he knew the plot earlier, Bai Fanlu still felt a burst of emotion.
And when he entered the inner room, he saw the dejected and withered young man sitting by the bed, who was also the son of the Shen family, Lan Shan, in the book, and he couldn't help but envy him for having a father who was so considerate of him.
In order to win people's trust, Bai Fanlu stopped Shen Lanshan's hemoptysis in front of Master Shen and his servants.
Now Master Shen believed even more that he was a god descending to earth, and when Bai Fanlu asked for Shen Lanshan's personal belongings, he gave him his longevity lock logically.
It was already evening when Baifan Road came out of Shen's house, and he came directly to a wooden bridge on the outskirts of the town. The stream under the bridge was half dry, and the thin and weak stream stretched to the depths of the distant mountains.
Bai Fanlu took out the silver lock and threw it into the stream.
Plop, the silver lock quickly sank. Bai Fanlu found a place by the bridge to sit and wait, his eyes randomly swept across the bridge, and a piece of yellow talisman paper was pasted every half step from the bridge head to the bridge end.
Time passed quietly, until the sun fell to the west and the crescent moon was half hooked.
As night fell, the dotted talisman papers on the bridge glowed faintly with green light, and the lonely bridge was alone in the darkness, which seemed a bit frightening at first glance.
But Bai Fanlu was not afraid, he finally experienced how important a good memory is to wearing books, and he was content with the sense of superiority brought by God's perspective.
The talisman papers on the bridge were all made by immortals with the purpose of exorcising evil spirits.
A few years ago, this bridge in the western suburbs of Jiyang Town had frequent falling and drowning accidents, and it had long been regarded as an ominous place.
And after it was rumored that Shen Lanshan was bewitched by the bridge, Master Shen specially invited many high-level immortal cultivators, and all he got was that there were indeed "unclean things" here.
But after countless exorcisms and evil spirits, Shen Lanshan's condition still did not improve, and even worsened. That's why Yun Zhan and the original owner passed by here to help.
In the empty night, there was a slight noise in the shallow and silent stream. Bai Fanlu opened his eyes, and the longevity lock that was still in the water just now was gone.
And when he raised his eyes, there was a person standing by the stream, or it should be said that it was just a shadow, an illusory mist under the moonlight, compared with the silver locks in front of him, the emptiness and reality stood out.
"Who are you? How can you have something close to Lanshan?"
Although the voice implied defensiveness, it sounded elegant and elegant, like raindrops.
But his face is blurred and his figure is light. Under the moon in the forest at night, if an ordinary person saw him, he would probably faint from fright.
However, Bai Fanlu was already mentally prepared. He stood up and said, "You don't need to know who I am, as long as you believe, I can help you."
"us?"
Bai Fanlu didn't mince words with him, and said seriously, "I'm afraid Shen Lanshan will die, if you care about his safety, please come with me."
When Ying Ying heard his words, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and after a while, he smiled softly, "Are you also going to blame me for hurting people's lives, and arrest me to subdue the law? It's a pity, even if I go with you, I won't die. "
His laughter was so sad that Bai Fanlu couldn't bear it, he shook his head and said, "That's not the case. If I want to catch you, I just do it. I don't need to take this silver lock for you. I just want you to believe me." , follow me to meet Shen Lanshan, he..."
Bai Fanlu thought about his words, "You only need to see him once, and he will get better soon, so you don't have to be misunderstood by everyone."
"... This..." The shadow seemed to be shaken, and Bai Fanlu couldn't see his face clearly, nor could he understand his expression and thoughts.
After waiting for a while, he heard him say in a hoarse voice, "Master, you are kind, I would like to believe you. But what you don't know is that Lan Shan's illness was caused by me. If I see him again, I'm afraid it will only hurt him even more."
"No," Bai Fanlu hurriedly said, "Although the external cause of his illness is indeed yours, and you and others have caused his yang energy to be damaged by different means, but you are avoiding him, which is why he is unconscious now. The real reason, if you continue to see him, maybe he is not just sick, but will definitely die within a few years!"
The other party was shocked and was speechless for a while.
Bai Fanlu sighed, "Actually, I know one more thing. I just said that you people and ghosts have different paths, but it's not accurate. Now you... are just a lonely soul who has been wandering around the world for many years before entering the ghost department."
"Compared to a ghost, you should be considered a demon."
Still bound for eternity, the least free, the lowest shadow demon.
Arashiyama in the evening, the small bridge is near the snow.
In the plot of the original novel, this is just the most insignificant episode, probably just to set off Yun Zhan's halo as the protagonist, and let him solve all the things that others can't solve.
But Bai Fanlu was deeply impressed by the role of "Xiang Wanyi", and it was also because of this role that Bai Fanlu firmly believed that under the worldview constructed by the author, not all demons do evil, and the original owner should have good intentions in his heart.
The bridge where the late meaning is located was just an ordinary wooden bridge a few years ago. At that time, the stream under the bridge was still deep and abundant, and people had to pass through here to cross the river.
But from a certain point, someone unfortunately fell into the river and died while crossing the bridge, and there began to be ghosts beside the bridge.
At first, it was the soul's obsession with his relatives and homeland that made him reluctant to leave for a long time, and later, because of his long wandering in the world, he could no longer conform to the law and enter reincarnation.
It happened that evil ways were everywhere in troubled times, and someone with a heart told the ghost that as long as he pulled a scapegoat from the bridge, he could be reincarnated, and the ghost did so.
Because of this, the bridge was cursed, and every once in a while, someone would fall from the bridge for no reason.
For a few years, people in the vicinity no longer dared to approach the bridge, but even so, some foreigners lost their lives here without knowing it.
And Xiang Wanyi was one of them, and also the last one.
After he was pulled into the water, the last ghost told him how to enter reincarnation.
Wanyi is waiting by the bridge.
For the first time, when a young mother was holding a child under one year old, he couldn't do it.
The second time, when a young man who was studying for the exam thought that he had studied the sage books hard, but died before his ambition was fulfilled, he still couldn't do it.
The third time, when a 60-year-old old man was dying, like his parents who were old and lost and had no one to rely on, he still couldn't do it...
In this way, another few years passed, and no one died on the bridge. However, Xiang Wanyi changed from a ghost to a shadow demon because of her long stay in the mortal world. She has no entity, cannot be reincarnated, and cannot be transcended. When the time comes, she will completely disappear from this world.
The stream under the bridge is drying up day by day, that is, "the time" is approaching.
In the novel, Yun Zhan and the original owner didn't know these things at first. When they first came to Jiyang Town, they only heard about ghosts and evil spirits, causing Shen Lanshan to sleep forever.
But after eliminating the evil spirit, Shen Lanshan still couldn't wake up, so Yun Zhan decided to find the source of the evil spirit.
After finding Xiang Wanyi, Yun Zhan naturally wanted to subdue him first, but even though Wanyi had no attack ability, the magic of the fairy family couldn't help him at all.
So the original owner discovered Wanyi's identity as the shadow demon, and looked for an opportunity to make friends with him, only to find out that Xiang Wanyi had a relationship with Shen Lanshan, and guessed that Shen Lanshan didn't want to wake up because of Wanyi's avoidance.
But Yun Zhan didn't take this matter seriously, firmly believing that it was the words of a demon to deceive people, and he wanted to find a way to kill the grass.
It wasn't until after several twists and turns and misunderstandings that the original owner finally managed to make Wanyi go to see Shen Lanshan to cure his illness, and Shen Lanshan told the whole story himself, and Yun Zhan knew it was his fault.
In the end, the original owner gave Shen Lanshan a spell to purify his own yin energy, so that the two of them could meet occasionally by the bridge, thus fulfilling their wish.
As for the fact that Xiang Wanyi would not be able to reincarnate in the future, Shen Lanshan didn't know, and he couldn't solve it. The original owner was hesitant to report, but was stopped by Yun Zhan.
Afterwards, they left Jiyang Town, what happened to Xiang Wanyi and Shen Lanshan, there was no follow-up in the novel, and it was difficult to understand what happened to Xiang Wanyi and Shen Lanshan.
Bai Fanlu did have regrets when he read the book, but he knew the plot well, and this time he could easily solve the problem without any twists and turns. He originally did this with a purpose, and he didn't intend to put more real feelings into it. real feeling.
But along the way, the breath of evening entangled him, clinging to him quietly and gently, Bai Fanlu suddenly had a feeling of being one with the other person, as if he could feel the peace and sorrow of this person, as well as the long-term loneliness Next, that faint hope.
How similar.
When Bai Fanlu returned to Shen's house, Master Shen was already waiting for him at the door, anxious and nervous with his sleeves in his hands.
Seeing him coming, Master Shen hurried forward, "Master Xian, you are back, my son was talking nonsense just now, and he kept running outside, so he finally stopped..."
"It's okay. He wants to find someone. I invited him for him. He will be fine as soon as he sees him."
Bai Fanlu entered Shen Lanshan's room, turned around and bolted the door.
Master Shen wanted to ask him which expert he had invited, but when he saw Bai Fanlu coming back alone, he felt uneasy in the middle of the night, but also suffering from his son's illness, he could only die as a living doctor, anxiously waiting outside. waiting.
Bai Fanlu opened his palm, a ray of white light landed in his palm, and in a blink of an eye he transformed into a human form. He secretly injected spiritual power into Xiang Wanyi, making his current figure more solid. If you don't look carefully, you will feel that this is still a living creature. people.
Xiang Wanyi's appearance was indeed the same as Bai Fanlu imagined, elegant and quiet, with a refined manner, standing there, he felt his face was full of books, and he was easy to get close to.
As soon as the evening mood took shape, Shen Lanshan was tied up on the bed by five flowers, his eyes were vacantly looking at the top of the bed. Compared with him, a dead person, his face was more ashen and lifeless.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Wanyi was in shock and pain for a while, he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Bai Fanlu sighed lightly, "I didn't lie to you, did I? You should have come to see him long ago."
People, people always want to avoid problems when they encounter problems. If they had faced them earlier, they would not have become like this now.
"Arashiyama..."
As soon as Xiang Wanyi called out, Shen Lanshan's body moved suddenly, and he suddenly looked this way, his dull eyes flooded with brilliance the moment he saw the person coming.
Bai Fanlu silently backed away from the screen. When the door was pushed, Master Shen was about to come up to him. He gestured for silence, and then walked out to close the door behind his back.
"Just wait a moment, the son will surely turn the crisis into safety."
Master Shen looked at the closed door, frowned deeply, and finally asked the doubts in his heart, "Dare to ask the immortal master, who is the one you are talking about? He..."
"He is your son's predestined relationship."
