Hearing this name, Bai Fanlu's heart beat inevitably stopped for a moment.
Then he laughed wryly at himself, should he be thankful that Yun Zhan still has a little humanity, and didn't say that he just threw himself somewhere and waited for someone to find him
But in this way, he was relieved, after all, he wouldn't be seen by others with his disheveled clothes.
So, their affairs... no one should know.
"After Yun Zhan sent you back, he asked Master to resign as the head of the sect. Now... he is no longer in Tianshumen."
Bai Fanlu was still entangled in his heart to death, but when he heard this, he was so shocked that he forgot what he was entangled in, Yun Zhan? That Yun Zhan? He left Tianshumen? How can this be
It was only then that Bai Fanlu realized that according to the original book, Yun Zhan had already forced his demonic blood to awaken, and it was bound to make everyone know that he couldn't gain a foothold in the fairy world and had to return to the demon world, right? How could it be possible to send it back to him silently
This plot development... is wrong again, and the deviation is a bit outrageous.
"I also find it unbelievable, but the master naturally didn't agree to him, but he couldn't be forced to stay, so he was allowed to go down the mountain, saying that he should think about it for himself."
"...This, so, then he..." Bai Fanlu calmed down the turmoil in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Has he changed back to his original form?"
Wang Chongyu shook his head, "No."
No…
Bai Fanlu didn't know what was going on, his heart seemed to sink and loosen again, loosen and sink again, and that face reappeared involuntarily following the two words in his mind.
He froze for a moment, and immediately wanted to slap himself twice, and came back in such a state of embarrassment, isn't it enough for him to regret and learn from the pain? Still thinking about that bastard
Forcing himself to stabilize his mind, Bai Fanlu warned himself that if he wanted to truly overcome a thing, he had to learn to face it first, and avoidance was always the most useless, and he could not escape.
Heaving a sigh of relief secretly, Bai Fanlu asked as calmly as possible, "Why can't he change back?"
Since Yun Zhan went back to Tianshumen in person, Ling Qingzi would definitely ask him what happened when he saw his change of appearance, and he couldn't justify it without an explanation.
Sure enough, Wang Chongyu replied, "I was there when he talked to Master. He said... he used 'not dust'."
"...not dust?"
People are in the dust, not dust. This is the name of an ancient mirror, which originated in the prehistoric era and has been lost for a long time.
The mirror is mentioned in the novel when Yun Zhan was still young. The original bishop read the history of immortals and identified various famous magic tools in the classics, among which he specifically mentioned "not dust".
Because the name was too special, Xiao Yunzhan curiously asked the original owner about the function and origin of the mirror, so Bai Fanlu happened to know about it.
According to legend, "Not Dust" was created by the Creator God who realized Taoism in a grain of dust at the beginning of the ancient prehistoric times. As long as a person looks at this ancient mirror and conceives an image in his mind, it can create a mirror image based on it, but at the same time, the person who looks in the mirror will temporarily disappear.
But the mirror image created has no thought, just a marionette. For the puppet's behavior, the creator has two options. One is to use it as a dummy without real feelings, and give it instructions to manipulate it to do everything. This is also the simplest way.
The other, which is much more complicated, is that the person who creates the mirror image merges his own consciousness with the mirror image, so that the thoughts and feelings of the mirror image are in harmony with the creator, equivalent to the same person.
There is only one shortcoming, the mirror image cannot inherit any spiritual power and magic power of the creator, which means that the creator will temporarily become an ordinary person. Mana that cannot be inherited needs to be temporarily placed in a "container", and as long as it is a living creature, it can be used as a "container".
At the same time, if the creator's ability to control consciousness is strong enough, he can also use mana as a bait to transfer between the mirror image and the "container" at will, and even manipulate the "container" to act for himself.
But since the "container" is a third party with independent thinking after all, there are two risks in this method.
The first risk is that during the limited time that the mirror image exists, the creator must never use his cultivation to cast spells. If the creator breaks this taboo, he needs to forcibly break through the "container" and temporarily appear in the form of the main body.
But this can only last for a very short time, after which the main body will be backlashed by the mirror image, and the mirror image will completely become a real existence with both personality and mana.
And this also means that the main body will disappear from reality, and at the same time, part of the mana will be absorbed by "not dust", and in severe cases, it will even be reduced to nothing.
However, whether it is the degree of "lifelike" of the mirror image or the result of being backlashed, it all depends on the creator's own willpower.
"What about the second risk?"
When this place was mentioned in the novel, Yun Zhan asked when he was young.
But the original owner looked through the ancient books carefully at that time, and there was only one word, "Ji", on the weathered pages.
He shook his head, "I can't see clearly."
Therefore, Bai Fanlu had no way of knowing the second risk of "not being dust", but at this point, he understood why Yun Zhan said he "can't change back".
Because he was backlashed by the mirror image he created, and the opportunity for the backlash, Bai Fanlu recalled for a while, before the "container" Zhizhi lost the divine light, he was attacked in Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion, and then miraculously escaped...
It turned out that it was not a mistake at all.
So Yun Zhan is willing to pay such a high price to save himself
Bai Fanlu shook his head, how could he understand this way, of course Yun Zhan was not doing it for himself, he was just doing it to get rid of the enemy, after all, if the enemy is not removed, his "container" is also in danger.
However, the ancient books did not clearly state what would happen if the "container" died. Perhaps this was the second risk? Or maybe there is no risk, just change another "container" that's all.
But no matter what, Bai Fanlu wanted to understand that Yun Zhan had to do that for himself, and it was definitely not for Bai Fanlu.
And when he thought this way, he had actually deliberately ignored one thing, Yun Zhan didn't need to take such a big risk from the beginning.
Although the fairy race is different from the demon race, they are not good at disguise or puppet tricks, but if he wants to play with himself, he can just create a mirror image dummy directly, so why bother to substitute any real feelings
But Bai Fanlu didn't even want to touch this issue, let alone think deeply about it.
He recalled this "not dust" in such a detailed way, just to find out why Yun Zhan didn't come back unchanged, he needs to do a good job of mental preparation, if he meets Yun Zhan again in the future, will he have to face that face .
But there is no need to worry now, Yun Zhan left as soon as he came back, he has been away for three days, Wang Chongyu followed Ling Qingzi to the meeting yesterday.
The fake Wu Yueshuang disappeared in Qingyangmen inexplicably. The real Wu Yueshuang neither returned to the fairyland nor sent anyone to join the alliance. Chengyingmen was destroyed, and only six of the four mountains and eight schools were present.
And just as Bai Fanlu expected, the incident of him "becoming a madman" was widely circulated outside, and some immortals questioned his identity, but Ling Qingzi slapped him in the face with stern words.
The position of the leader of the righteous way of Tianshumen is not for nothing. The "No. 1 Immortal Venerable" made a statement to protect it, and when the immortal world is united in fighting against the enemy, no one has any objections on the surface.
Even if the heads of the two immortal sects are older, they still have to be courteous to Ling Qingzi. It's just that there must be "flies" like today, still buzzing underneath, causing a little wind and waves.
Of course, Bai Fanlu deserves to be ashamed of the protection of the master and all the younger brothers and sisters, because he is indeed a demon. Although he doesn't know what method Ling Qingzi used, he seems to have no demon energy in him now, but this fact has changed. no.
But for this matter, Wang Chongyu only had two sentences to express his attitude.
"Brother, Master wants to protect you, and we have no hesitation. We must protect you to the end."
"No matter what your identity is, with me, you are just my senior brother."
He didn't say anything clearly, but he told Bai Fanlu that both he and Ling Qingzi already knew that he was a demon.
Even though Bai Fanlu's position was so delicate, Wang Chongyu even told him the conclusion of the final alliance.
Because mortals are constantly being polluted by the gaps in the devil's energy and fall into the devil's way, causing disasters recklessly, and there is currently no effective way to purify them. In order to prevent more innocent people from being killed, all the immortal sects are making preparations, and will do their best to seal the cracks in the demonic energy in various places, eliminate the fallen demons, and at the same time find the location of the "withering pavilion" at the entrance of the demon city.
Bai Fanlu knew about "Withering Huating", but that place was changing all the time, and Bai Junming set up a blindfold. In the original book, it was Yun Zhan who undid the blindfold and started the final battle.
Furthermore, the original owner lost consciousness after being blackened, and the novel does not clearly describe how he came and went from the devil world. Even if Bai Fanlu wanted to help the immortal clan leapfrog to the demon clan's lair, there was nothing he could do about it.
And Wang Chongyu dared to tell him the plan of the Four Mountains League in this way, probably because he knew that he had the blood of the demon race, but he didn't know that he was actually the young master of the demon world.
But it's really just a name, except for Bai Junming and Mowei Tingnu, the devil world doesn't even know that there is such a person as him.
Because the original owner had never been in the devil world before, in the novel, when Ling Qingzi found him, he was just over one year old, and he was a child picked up by a human couple.
Afterwards, the original owner was taken in as an apprentice by Ling Qingzi, and he was the one who brought him up. In terms of understanding of the original owner, I am afraid that no one in the world can match him.
In fact, when Bai Fanlu was reading the book, he felt that Ling Qingzi might have discovered that the original owner had demonic blood. With his cultivation base and the five hundred years he spent with the original owner, it would be impossible to say that he didn't know it at all.
Thinking that he came out of Sanmuju without even saying hello, Bai Fanlu decided to go back to find Ling Qingzi.
Along the way, I met two juniors from Tianshumen, and saw him bow their hands in salute. After they were far away, the two turned back to look at Baifan Road, and talked in a low voice.
"I think the elder brother's appearance has changed, um, how should I put it, it seems to be more... better looking."
"Senior brother is very good-looking. I heard that there used to be a 'No. 1 beauty in the Three Realms' in our Tianshu Gate. I have never seen it, but I think senior brother must be prettier than him."
"Hey, if I can be a Taoist partner with the big brother..."
"What are you thinking about? Eldest senior brother and sect master junior brother are Taoist couples."
Bai Fanlu's hearing is too good. Hearing these words, gossip is boring and scary. It's better to leave quickly.
But soon, his pace involuntarily slowed down...
"I'm just sighing a few words, how can I really compete with the sect master... But then again, the senior brother has lost his temper. In order to open up the meridians for him, the sect master just saw... Hey, you met the sect master the other day Does he look like that? It's not just a matter of disguise, why do I feel that he... seems very serious... "
"So this is an act of righteousness, and I have to admire it. If you can do it, you can also be a Taoist partner with the big brother."
"Uh, if it's like this, I'd better forget it..."
… What's the meaning? Yun Zhan him
Bai Fanlu wanted to turn his head to ask, hesitated for a while, and finally gave up.
No matter what he does, it has nothing to do with me, right? If there was anything, it was his own fault.
Bai Fanlu flicked his sleeves, stopped walking at a leisurely pace, and simply flew up on the clouds, leaving those annoying remarks behind him, and didn't think about it anymore.
When he arrived at Sanmuju, Ling Qingzi was sitting in front of the desk and watching a chess game intently. Baizi and Heizi were fighting inseparably, but there was no one on the other side of the chess game.
So Bai Fanlu didn't bother him, and just stood by.
After wearing the book, except when he just woke up, he only entered Sanmuju once. At that time, he was still thinking about how... how to draw a clear line with Yun Zhan, but he was packed up and thrown down the mountain.
It's a pity that good fortune tricks people, and you can't avoid it if you want to avoid it. If you knew the situation today, you should have acted with Yun Zhan in the first place.
Bai Fanlu laughed at himself, raised his eyes to look at the room where the master lived, Sanmuju.
It is bigger than his room, because there is a wooden shelf with a lot of books on it. This is the place where the original owner and the young Yun Zhan often sneak in to read books.
In front of the bookshelf, there is a long low table made of Tang wood. On the low table is a paperweight with an unfinished handwriting.
The ink stick on the edge of the inkstone has been rubbed off halfway, and the dark ink inside the inkstone is still moist, reflecting the faint light coming in from the corner of the window lattice.
Huh? It's not like the light from the window...
Bai Fanlu took a closer look, and it turned out to be the faint light from a rosette-shaped sapphire incense burner next to the wall beside the bench.
Why is there light in the incense burner
The light source was very weak, revealing a thin layer of sapphire, which seemed to pulsate slightly in his gaze, and Bai Fanlu's eyes blurred, and he blinked vigorously, wanting to take a closer look.
"Mo'er? Come to my teacher."
Bai Fanlu came back to his senses, and walked towards Ling Qingzi as he said.
However, the image that I vaguely saw just now was still flashing back in my mind. Why did it seem that two illusory figures appeared in front of the table? Is it his illusion
"Help me take a look at this chess game, does Heizi still have a chance of winning?"
When Ling Qingzi asked, Bai Fanlu restrained his thoughts and sat down opposite him.
In fact, he only knows a little bit of Go, and has not learned it specifically, so at first he just had the idea of looking at it casually, but when he saw it in the game, he couldn't move it away.
He stared at the white pieces for a long time, and suddenly his eyes locked on a position.
Ling Qingzi paid attention to his expression, held the sunspot in his hand, and asked, "Here?"
"Try it," Bai Fanlu nodded.
Ling Qingzi put Heizi on the signal place, after a little thought, Baizi immediately followed.
Afterwards, it was like a complete mind-to-heart connection. Wherever Bai Fanlu thought of, the sunspots could land there, until the last step of "sticking", the black pieces were connected into one piece, successfully passed, and reversed the defeat.
Bai Fanlu let out a long sigh of relief, feeling like he was going through a big battle, but he didn't expect it to be successful.
Does he even have a talent for playing chess? Why didn't I feel that before. Looks like it's worth digging around when you go back.
"So happy?"
Ling Qingzi asked him, there was a rare gentleness in the stretch of eyebrows and eyes, which made people feel like spring breeze.
Bai Fanlu felt more and more that it was right to want to come back to play chess with Master before. After playing this game, he felt completely new.
Ling Qingzi looked at the chess board again, and pondered, "This move is very powerful, you can call it..."
"Draw the bottom of the pot."
Bai Fanlu blurted out without knowing why, and blushed after speaking, how dare he interrupt Master
Ling Qingzi didn't mean to blame at all, instead, he curled his lips slightly and smiled vaguely, "Mo'er is just as my teacher thinks, she is just drawing the bottom of the pot."
Bai Fanlu also smiled embarrassingly, feeling that he was really a trickster, but the master treated him so tenderly, and recalled that every time he was injured since he passed through the book, whenever the master was around, he would always accompany him and heal his wounds, Saying seemingly cold but caring words to him...
Bai Fanlu felt ashamed in his heart, and wanted to confess to Ling Qingzi that he was not the original owner, but he couldn't bear it when it came to his mouth.
Whether it's selfish or not, he doesn't have much time left in this world. When he leaves, the original owner will come back, right
So, can he cherish it carefully
Just like what he thought before, not being black, not dying, is the only thing he can do for Ling Qingzi and those who care and love the original owner, and it is also the most meaningful thing he can do in this world.
No longer just to go back, even for this extra firm belief now, he must not be indulged in petty love and petty love, and continue to be depressed.
Bai Fanlu was full of strength and drive in an instant, and now, there is only one thing to confirm.
"Master, disciple... I want to ask you a question." He summoned up his courage.
Ling Qingzi nodded, "Say it."
"Back then, why did you choose to accept me as an apprentice?"
Even Wu Yueshuang said that Ling Qingzi would not accept apprentices, let alone an apprentice with demonic blood.
Regarding this question, Ling Qingzi only smiled slightly, and did not answer immediately, but raised his right hand slightly towards Baifan Road. There was a strand of silver hair on his shoulder, which slid down behind him with his movements, winding down on the bamboo mat he was sitting on .
It was only then that Bai Fanlu noticed that there was a hint of red in the tangled silver hair on the bamboo mat, like some kind of ribbon.
"Mo'er, come here."
Bai Fanlu retracted his gaze, half stood up, walked around the chessboard, and walked to Ling Qingzi on his knees.
Ling Qingzi raised his hand and stroked Bai Fanlu's forehead.
Bai Fanlu couldn't see anything, but felt his fingertips touch the center of his brows, and a cool feeling emerged faintly.
Then, the airflow floats into the nose with the fragrance...
It's my own magic energy! Bai Fanlu opened his eyes wide in surprise.
In a place he couldn't see, Ling Qingzi's finger stroked the place, and the purple mark between the eyebrows was looming, but it was covered by a transparent ice cream in just a moment, and the light flashed, and the brows were restored to cleanliness.
The magic energy also disappeared.
Ling Qingzi's hand dropped suddenly, covering Bai Fanlu's eyes.
In a blur, Bai Fanlu felt a gentle touch on his forehead, but he couldn't make out what it was, and Ling Qingzi's voice came from nearby.
He said, "Because of you, you are my Mo'er."
The author has something to say: Bai Xiaolu: I ignited a raging fighting spirit!
Yungou Zhan: Brother v5!
Author: Hey, your brother is about to abandon you, and won't be in love with you anymore, are you still v5
Messing into the crowd: That's right, Siha, or Shizunxiang...
Yun Gou Zhan: What are you... kissing the forehead, but I have already... Huh! I will let you know what is really fragrant, just wait and see!
