214:
When Jiang Mian saw the portrait, she had already made some assumptions in her mind and made some preparations, but when she heard Qi Yanshu admit it in person, she still found it incredible.
How could Master be Liyan
She hurriedly picked up the photo of the fish tank and said almost incoherently: "What about this one?"
Qi Yanshu looked at the red carp in the painting with gentle eyes, and said, "I thought you had forgotten it a long time ago."
"Let's talk about Liyan first." Qi Yanshu motioned for her to sit on the chair.
Jiang Mian took a deep breath and had no choice but to sit down and wait for Qi Yanshu to answer her questions.
"This is a long story, and I only learned about it not long ago."

Every ascetic will encounter inner demons when he breaks through a major stage. If the inner demons are not passed, the breakthrough will fail at best, or the soul will dissipate and he will perish.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to encounter inner demons. During the journey of cultivation, inner demons are the biggest obstacles for all cultivators.
Countless high-level monks were defeated by the inner demons and disappeared into thin air.
However, a high-level cultivator has to go through many difficulties to reach his current status. It is a pity that he falls just because his inner demons have not been overcome.
At this time, you have two options:
1. Continue to attack the inner demons. If you win, you will live, if you lose, you will die.
Second, there is only one chance to reincarnate and rebuild, so you will be more confident when facing your inner demons.
Most cultivators dare not choose the second option. The first option has at least a 50-50 probability. The second option, after reincarnation, turns from a high-level monk into a powerless baby. He may die at any time. If he dies, he will die again. No chance either.
There is another disadvantage: after reincarnation, you cannot be sure whether you have the potential to practice.
Qing Yi Daojun is a reincarnated cultivator.
He turned out to be a monk living on a fairy island overseas. He had no desires and had the ability to attack his inner demons. However, he did not do so and chose to be reincarnated and cultivate again.
The purpose is just to be a real, emotional person.
However, an accident occurred during his reincarnation, and his consciousness was led to a strange mortal world. He found himself in a fish tank and became a clumsy crab.
He didn't mind, he was a little curious to object to this situation, and he accepted the fact that he became a crab very calmly.
There were many different kinds of fish in the fish tank. At first, he didn't care about anything. Then slowly, he noticed the stupid red carp in the fish tank.
When humans feed, it is instinct for fish to grab food. She is bigger than other fish, but has poor reflexes. She often fails to grab food and can only eat the leftovers.
Probably knowing that she couldn't get it, she simply gave up and lay at the bottom of the tank all day, occasionally flicking her tail and watching the humans coming and going outside.
He observed secretly and found it very interesting. Is a fish that does not swim still a fish
For reasons that he didn't even know, he would occasionally pinch her tail and watch her swim away in panic; occasionally, when she didn't even eat the remaining food, he would give her what he had grabbed. .
Later, he was fished out by humans and put into a steamer. In the blink of an eye, his spiritual consciousness popped out of the crab's body, thinking that he would return to Tengyun Continent. Unexpectedly, his consciousness was floating in that dental clinic and never left.
Humans fished fish into the fish tank. Although he already understood her future fate, he still took action to prevent her from being fished away by humans.
Jiang Mian was stunned.
She had wondered before why the aunt at the front desk couldn't catch her every time she fished. It turned out to be like this.
—
Until one day, his consciousness was suddenly swept away by a suction force. When he opened his eyes again, he had turned into a baby without any memory, until he grew up to be Qingyi Daojun.
While traveling abroad, he picked up an abandoned baby and couldn't bear her death, so he brought her back to the sect and accepted her as a disciple.
At that time, Qing Yi Daojun was establishing his own swordsmanship. At a critical juncture, the baby was left to the care of his disciples, and the master and disciple hardly saw each other.
It wasn't until she built the foundation when she was eight years old that she broke the record he had set, and his swordsmanship also became great - and he also recovered the memory of the sea monk in his previous life, and decided to teach his disciples well after leaving seclusion.
By chance, he discovered that his disciple's soul had been split, and accidentally entered one of the split souls, discovering that she was actually the red carp in the fish tank when his consciousness was lost in the mortal world.
As for the other split soul, he couldn't get in. At that time, he knew that maybe his disciple had a great background, but he didn't think much about it.
When he was in the secret realm, he was assassinated and died.
In fact, with his strength, it is not difficult to escape intact. What is difficult is to leave with his disciple.
Either he cared about himself or his disciple, and he chose the latter without hesitation.
He has lived two lives, which adds up to several hundred years. His disciple is still young and has countless possibilities in the future.
Later, he regretted countless times that when he died, he should have sealed her memory and let her walk her future path in peace.
He was a monk who was reincarnated and re-cultivated. Now that he has died, his soul must have disappeared, but he didn't want his consciousness to condense again, just like in a dental clinic, surrounding his disciple without anyone noticing.
He saw her practicing hard and her temperament changed drastically overnight. She was no longer the little girl who loved to act coquettishly and buy snacks for him.
He saw her hugging the quilt and gritting her teeth and saying, "Master, just wait, I will definitely kill that beast with my own hands and avenge you."
He saw that in order to improve her cultivation, she went to countless secret realms, worked with others to win treasures, and traveled back and forth on the edge of life and death again and again.
Sometimes his consciousness would be in a trance, and he could not "see" what happened to his disciple during this period.
When she could "see" again, the disciple was covered in blood and fell silently into the water. The surrounding water was turned bright red by the blood flowing from her body, like a painting soaked in blood, tragic and tragic.
…
Qi Yanshu suddenly stopped, his eyes moved slightly, and when he saw Jiang Mian's eyes gradually turning red, she opened her mouth, found her voice, and murmured: "So you have always been here..."
It was precisely because it had always been there that he regretted it so much. Not only did he fail to protect her, he actually forced her to embark on the most difficult and cruel path for him.
A trace of sadness flashed across Qi Yanshu's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Mian sniffed and said with a thick nasal voice: "Then why didn't you recognize me after you saved me?"
Qi Yanshu was silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Mian couldn't help but took two steps forward. Qi Yanshu said slowly: "I have taken possession of Li Yan."
Jiang Mian's pupils suddenly shrank in shock.
—
He couldn't think about what happened to his disciple to become like this, and he couldn't bear the feeling of being powerless.
At this moment, he saw a doctor passing by and found his disciple in the water. The doctor said "Hey" and kicked his disciple on the head. Then he said happily: "I'm sorry, I won't survive anyway. Quan." Think of it as a dead person, just in time, we have a test subject."
It was these words and this action that made him make the move to seize the body. He didn't know whether he would succeed, because strictly speaking, he was just a ray of consciousness.
He succeeded.
…
Jiang Mian knew what happened next. She used Liyan's hands to reshape all the bones and tendons in her body and was able to stand up again.
Li Yan is very strange. He always wears a mask on his face and often doesn't say a word. She knows all this, but now she wants to understand that he doesn't speak and wears a mask. He just doesn't want her to find out the clues, for fear that she will recognize him. Master.
Then, the enemies who plotted against her master came, but her cultivation level had not yet recovered.
Jiang Mian closed her eyes, and the scene she never wanted to recall appeared in her mind—
That beast killed the villagers in front of her, just to make her kneel down and kowtow, humiliating her.
It was the first time she heard Liyan say so many words. He said, "I finally saved you, and I didn't want you to die again."
"I'm just a mortal, and when I die, I die."
"You want to avenge your master, yes, but you must do it only when you are sure to kill him in the future. You must remember that your life is not only your own, but also mine."
"Run away, as far away as possible, and don't look back."
She finally looked back.
—
When the study became quiet, Qi Yanshu raised his hand and gently and slowly wiped away the tears on Jiang Mian's face with his fingertips.
"Master." Jiang Mian raised his hand, held his hand tightly, and said softly, "After that, you will come to this world, right."
Qi Yanshu nodded and picked up "The Story of a Thousand Golds": "I got this book from the forbidden land." As for how he got it, he didn't say.
Qi Yanshu put the book in Jiang Mian's hand: "This book is yours."
Probably already surprised enough, Jiang Mian could only wonder after hearing Qi Yanshu's words - how could it be hers
She opened the yellowed and old cover, and in the middle of the first page was written "Thousand Character Notes" in black letters on a white background, with a line of slightly smaller words below: By Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian was shocked, raised her head blankly, and looked at Qi Yanshu: "Is it just the same name?"
She really didn't want to believe that she had written the book, and more importantly, she had no memory of it.
Qi Yanshu looked at her and answered the question: "Have you ever thought that this book is compiled based on your experience, and this world is your world. It really exists and is not formed by books. You came from Tengyun Continent to Here, it’s not about traveling through time, but about going home.”
"Go home..." Jiang Mian's chaotic mind seemed to be torn open, and something was about to emerge, but was pushed back by an invisible force.
She pressed her temples, her expression turning painful.
Qi Yanshu's expression changed slightly, he took a step forward, and suddenly thought of something, he stopped moving, just looked at Jiang Mian, and said quickly: "This is just my guess, no matter it is or is not, you don't have to worry about it." In my heart.”
Countless questions filled Jiang Mian's mind, and she was now extremely certain that there was something wrong with her memory—a part of her memory had been cut out, and there was no trace of it, and even she couldn't find it.
If you follow what the master said, it means: Jiang Mian once wrote "The Story of a Thousand Golds" based on his personal experience. What happened in the middle is unknown.
Later, Jiang Mian went to the world where the carp spirit lived. This is why as a red carp, she could suddenly understand people's speech. Then, he went to the world of cultivating immortals.
Therefore, when she "wakes up" and receives the plot in the book transmitted from the world, it is actually just the memories she has experienced that automatically appear in her mind.
In other words, she thought Jiang Mian in the book was the original owner, but actually he was not, it was herself.
She is Jiang Mian, and Jiang Mian is her.
She is not "traveling", but "reborn".
