"It's not my order. I wouldn't have such an order for you." Wen Yuan Zhenren said. You are free. No one can limit your freedom. The reason why you stay with Yan Qing. Stay in the mirror. It's all for your good."

"For my good." Shan Xuan smiled bitterly. It's because of the magic sword. Or is it because I'm worried that I'll contact the Demon King again?"

"It's because I'm worried about your safety."

"I'm safe."

"It's only temporary."

Wen Yuan Zhenren looked at Shan Xuan. Shan Xuan lowered her head and looked at the desktop. Person. Why worry about an unseen future?"

"Because of the way of cultivation to become immortals. It has the ability that ordinary people can't have. Some calamities can be avoided."

"But you didn't mean that. One movement and one stillness. Seemingly idealistic. Drink and peck. It's not predetermined. It turned out that everything was destined by heaven. Isn't it all in vain?"

"Have you heard... Man is stronger than heaven."

Shan Xuan was stunned. Speechless.

Wen Yuan Zhenren sighed slightly. Shan Xuan. Sue sù for the teacher. What is the Tao?"

What is the Tao? There have been countless explanations for this. Shan Xuan can recite one or two casually. But don't wait for her to react. Wen Yuan Zhenren continued to ask. You know. What is me?"

What is me. This question is more difficult to explain than what the Tao is. But Shan Xuan took a deep breath. Unhurriedly, he replied: "Human law. Earth Law Heaven. Heavenly Law Dao. Taoism is natural. This is the Way. And people... It's filthy. I am me. But it's not me. The universe. Heaven and earth. For me I am for the greater self; Rites of passage. Emotions. For me I am for the ego. The world is easy to turn. Yin and Yang are born together. Heaven and earth are great. The Tao is infinite. I am for the Word. The Tao is me."

"What are you talking about?" Shan Xuan's voice just fell. Then I heard a male voice coming from afar. Sound fall. The man was already sitting in front of him.

"Yan Qing." Wen Yuan Zhenren arched his hand.

Yan Qing wore a gray round-necked robe with house cuffs that was easy to move today. When you sit down. Hem of a stack of clothes. The action is very crisp and neat. Chic and natural.

Of course, Shan Xuan also bowed with his hand. Yan Qing looked at Shan Xuan. He looked at the clerk again." I'll come and pick her up."

I heard Yan Qing's voice. Shan Xuan hurriedly glanced up. Although when she came out, she did not say when she would return. But it is clear that Yunong's marriage day has not yet passed. Is she going back to the cage?

"Hmm." Wen Yuan Zhenren nodded. Fu said to Shan Xuan again: "You and Yan Qing go back to the mirror realm. Practice well."

Shan Xuan put down her hands. Hang down on top of your cross-legged knees." Why do you have to go back so soon?"

Apparently eternal life brought her out. Why not send her back again from eternal life. It turned out that she had to bother Yan Qing to go on this trip in person. Doesn't he love to sleep the most? Himself is not there. It's not better not to be bothered.

Wen Yuan Zhenren and Yan Qing didn't hear the resentment in Shan Xuan's words. Yan Qing smiled. If you don't want to go back so soon. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Shan Xuan looked at Wen Yuan Zhenren. Wen Yuan Zhenren was also looking at Shan Xuan. Just when Shan Xuan thought that Wen Yuan Zhenren would not speak. Wen Yuan Zhenren suddenly asked again: "Is there really nothing uncomfortable about the body?"

"Nope." Shan Xuan quickly replied. Speak very fast. Slightly impatient.

That's it. only to realize their gaffe. Shan Xuan frowned. And I added another sentence." I'm fine."

Wen Yuan Zhenren also knows. Asked the same thing three times. He did nag a bit. But for Shan Xuan. Just think of her in front of your eyes. The moment when he was pierced through the chest by the magic sword. I feel like my heart is suffocating. All the internal organs are throbbing.

The bent pillow and the plain yarn are dead. Shan Xuan can't die. You can't die because of him.

"Hmm." Half a day. Wen Yuan said again." I'll talk to Yan Qing for a while. You go back to your room and rest."

Although Shan Xuan is also very worried. But I'm still worried about Dong Jieer's drunkenness. And Yu Nong is still waiting for her to reply." I'll go find Yunon." Talking. Shan Xuan wanted to turn around and leave.

"You..."Wen Yuan Zhenren spoke up to stop Shan Xuan. You might as well go back to your room and rest. They see you like this. I'm going to worry about you."

Shan Xuan was stunned for a moment before reacting. The hand unconsciously wants to touch the eyes again. Sheng Sheng restrained himself.

"Okay." Shan Xuan smiled slightly. Turned around and left.

After Shan Xuan left. Yan Qingcai frowned slightly. I am for the Word. The Word is also me. That's what you taught her."

Wen Yuan didn't reply. Pursed lips. Along with the jaw is tense.

"That's right. You're not someone who likes to tell big things." Despite the rhetoric of the Tao and I. The tone is not small. Yan Qing was not surprised.

Wen Yuan Zhenren didn't want to dwell on this issue." Early tomorrow morning. Come and take her back. The demon soul in her body...", paused. Wen Yuan Zhenren continued: "Perhaps... Can you take him as an apprentice?"

"And then spend another three hundred years on her." Yan Qing asked rhetorically.

Shan Xuan returned to the room reluctantly. Her room. Or as it is.

She never thought about it. Go to the Demon Suppression Tower to watch the burning of the Demon Sword in one fell swoop. It's going to keep her out of here for so long.

Never thought about it either. And not only the past six months. Maybe in the next six months. year. Three years. Decade. There's a chance she's not here.

It turned out that Master had never gone to see her. It's because Master is the one who feels the most necessary to stay in the Mirror Realm. Also right. How could Yan Qing waste his efforts for such an unknown person as himself.

When I got back to my room, I lay down on the bed. Although not tired. But I feel that she also feels a little dizzy after drinking.

Close your eyes. Shan Xuan thought about a lot of things in a mess. Master asked her. There is no discomfort. Nope. Nope. Absolutely nothing.

The more I think about it, the more I feel impetuous. I just got up and sat down at the dresser. When the bronze mirror is opened. This is the first time Shan Xuan has used her own eyes. I saw her red pupils that appeared many times. It's her favorite kind of red.

The same color as the bride's wedding dress. It's the same color as the bright red blood.

'Smack'. Shan Xuan closed the bronze mirror heavily. Sit for a while. He got up again and walked to the bedside. Keep closing your eyes.

A lot of things have quietly changed. For example, many people look at Shan Xuan's eyes. For example, Master's repeated inquiries. For example, Miyun, Yunong and Dong Jieer.

Shan Xuan wasn't sure if she was asleep. But when I open my eyes again. She was sweating profusely.

It's already dark outside. Tiancang Mountain did not report to the people. It's all up to you. Shan Xuan can only guess that it is probably the third watch.

Light a candle. Shan Xuan sat down in front of the bronze mirror again. The red blood pupils are still there. And also... The finger touched the position of the center of the eyebrow. The eyebrows on the brow have begun to redden. And the fingers are taken away. Between the eyebrows is a very conspicuous black elongated mark. Replaces the originally hidden blue-white sigil. I can't wipe it off no matter how I wipe it.

I faintly heard the sound of coughing. There are only Shan Xuan and Wen Yuan in Changle Palace. It didn't turn out that the voice came from Shan Xuan. There is no doubt that it must be a real person in Wenyuan.

Shan Xuan did not blow out the candle. I opened the door and stood in the doorway and listened for a while. In the middle of the night, I heard a slight cough or two.

Her residence is far from Wen Yuan's real person. Ordinary people will never hear it. But Shan Xuan seems to have more acute facial features than before. Even the moment the bright moonlight shines on the body. Also visibly felt. The essence of the moon is quickly absorbed into the body with breathing.

Didn't hesitate much. Shan Xuan didn't even bring the door. Walked straight to Wen Yuan's room.

The closer you get, the clearer the sound becomes. Listen to your ears. Let Shan Xuan recall. Mother is sick in bed for a long time. I always cough like this in the middle of the night.

High, high, low. Ups and downs. Suppress it as much as possible. But I couldn't restrain myself.

The lights were still on in Wen Yuan's room. Shan Xuan wondered why Master was coughing. I wonder why he hasn't turned off the lights so late.

"Who. Who's out there." Shan Xuan didn't stand for long. But it alarmed Wen Yuan Zhenren inside.

Subsequently. The door was opened. Wen Yuan Zhenren looked at Shan Xuan, who was standing straight. I was slightly stunned. It seems that Shan Xuan stayed in the Changle Hall tonight.

But Shan Xuan's heart. But the storm is surging. When did Master become so weak. Yourself all the way. There's no disguise at all. Stayed at the door for a while. Master should have found out a long time ago. But he even asked, 'Who's out there?'

It's obviously a dragon-like skill that breaks through the sky. He also fought a decisive battle with the dead at an altitude of 3,000 miles. When will you open the door? Only then did I realize that I had come to him.

"Master." Shan Xuandao.

Wen Yuan Zhenren held on to the door frame." Why haven't you rested?"

"Master, you haven't rested."

Just as Shan Xuan spoke. Wen Yuan Zhenren covered his mouth again. He coughed lowly. I fell asleep right away. You go back to sleep."

"Hmm." Shan Xuan bends down and bows. Very obediently turned around and went back.

She should have found out a long time ago. From the moment I saw Master. I feel that Master is not as energetic as before. Even the color is very pale.

But if it weren't for tonight, I had to stay. She may not know it for a long time.

Just like back then. When my mother is too sick to get out of bed. She only realized the severity of the matter.

Wen Yuan real person to save Shan Xuan. Hurt the vitality. Later, she passed on her skills for 130 years. It's not something that can be recuperated overnight. Physical weakness is also common. The reason why he didn't notice Shan Xuan standing outside the door for a while was because he was thinking about the current situation of the beings in the Three Realms.

Available on the second day. But when Yan Qing came to Changle Hall to pick up Shan Xuan and went back. Shan Xuan said bluntly. She didn't want to go back to the Mirror Realm. And also to enter the town demon tower to capture the demon sword.

Ask why. She also only said. Because the magic sword is the sharpest sword in the world. She is the apprentice of the first sword immortal of Tiancang Mountain. Why not get the magic sword?

Shan Xuan at that time. The color of the eyes has returned to normal. The imprint is gone. He looks incredibly serious.
