"Ling Xiao, from today onwards, you and Xiao Qian will learn this 'Seven Absolute Exercises' together," On the grassy hillside next to Hongshan Village, Princess Yin Lan gave a picture album to the two children in front of her who were about ten years old, "This exercise was obtained by Ling Xiao's father by chance, and he himself has practiced one of them." ”

Xia Yuqian stretched out her little hand to take the album, and Han Lingxiao also leaned his head to look at it curiously, but it was full of pages of carefully drawn ink illustrations, including mountains, water, clouds and trees, as well as dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, blue sea and blue sky, but there was not a word.

"But Auntie, there's no exercise on this!" Xia Yuqian flipped over and frowned.

"Yes, Xiaoqian," Yin Lan showed a mysterious smile and said softly, "You two use your internal force to sense it above." ”

Xia Yuqian then rubbed her hand back and forth on the written to perceive, and suddenly a wonderful power poured into her palm from the book, she closed her eyes, and the still picture in the book appeared in her mind, becoming vivid.

Han Lingxiao also put his hand up, and after a while, his eyes suddenly widened and became bright.

"Mother! I saw a dragon flying on the river!" he shouted excitedly.

"Xiaoqian, what about you?" Yin Lan asked again as she looked at Xia Yuqian, who was quietly feeling with her eyes closed.

"The sight I saw was beautiful, with lakes and mountains, and green water rippling. ”

Yin Lan smiled and nodded, "Different people see different scenes with internal force, you only use internal force to see the surface scene, but you can't read the hidden exercises yet, in the future, with the enhancement of your internal force, you will definitely be able to comprehend the real mystery here." ”

Xia Yuqian dreamed again, in the dream she returned to Hongshan Village, back to the past, but after waking up from the dream, she only vaguely remembered that she was taken back to Hongfang by the man in red, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already dark, she rubbed her eyes subconsciously, and got up suddenly, but found that only Thorn Flower was sitting beside her.

"Sister Thorn Flower" Xia Yuqian looked at her incredulously, and then looked up at the hut where they lived before, she moved her right leg carefully, and was relieved when she felt that she was still conscious, and suddenly remembered the ring match, so she asked Thorn Flower nervously, "Sister Thorn Flower, how is the ring match?"

Thorn Flower sighed and said, "Today, the ring was destroyed, and you, as a finalist, were seriously injured, and because Xuanwu Ling Fengchen was also injured, so under the strong request of all forces, Fengyun Pavilion decided to postpone the competition for one day." ”

"Great!" Xia Yuqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xia Yuqian, you can't compare anymore!" Thorn looked at her a little angrily, "You are not a child anymore, you should think about your family, if you have three longs and two shorts, what will your family do?"

Xia Yuqian didn't speak, she hung her head a little tiredly, isn't she doing this for her family? She is the hope of the whole village, in order for everyone to at least live in peace, this is the only thing she can do to change her fate.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Thorn Flower came to her side and sat down, gently put her hand on her back, and said very seriously, "Xiaoqian, fate is so unfair, some people are born rich and noble, and they can become masters through hard work, but others put in the same or even more efforts to no avail...... Because we are born different, with different backgrounds, different living circumstances, and different experiences," she said, choking up, "You're already strong, at least much stronger than our people, but you're still different from them...... Xiaoqian, you can't compare to theirs. ”

While speaking, a leaf flew from the window to Xia Yuqian's hand, with strange symbols painted in blood, Xia Yuqian quietly touched the leaf, and knew that it was the person who came, the person who came to find the soul of the Enma Princess who was sleeping in her body.

"Sister Thorn Flower, I want to go to the backyard to breathe. Xia Yuqian said and got up and wanted to jump out of the windowsill.

"Xiaoqian!" Thorn Flower grabbed her suddenly, but the strength in her hand gradually weakened, "Come back early, you have a serious injury on your leg......" she said a little weakly.

Xia Yuqian looked at her with some regret and nodded.

In the backyard, through the jungle, to a hidden lake, the old woman, still dressed in black and on a dead wooden cane, stood quietly waiting for her.

"Girl......" she held up the black lantern and summoned Xia Yuqian in a hoarse voice.

Xia Yuqian walked over and stood in front of her, looking into her eyes. Maybe Thorn Flower is right, Xia Yuqian thought to herself, she is different from them, but how can there be two people who are exactly the same in this world? Everyone is unique, and they all have different experiences that belong to them......

"How does it feel to be alive?" asked the old woman suddenly.

Xia Yuqian was stunned, it was the first time she asked her like this for so many years.

"Granny Ghost Lantern, you once said that the soul of Princess Enma is in my body, so is it her or me who is alive now?"

This is a problem that has always plagued Xia Yuqian, and what she is most worried about is that she is no longer "herself" before she knows it.

"The answer to this question is known only to you, girl. ”

Xia Yuqian lowered her head in disappointment, and after a while, she asked again, "If I die, what will happen to the Enma Princess?"

"Only you know, girl. The ghost woman repeated what she had just said.

"If the Enma clan is completely extinct in this world, will the burning ghosts you created also disappear?"

This time, the ghost woman raised her head, revealing an ugly eye with gray-yellow pupils under the black cloak.

"Girl, how do you know that I made the Burning Ghost?"

"Because I saw ......"

"Does what you see have to be the truth?" she asked, a strange smile on her face, "No one knows how the burners came to be, except themselves. ”

With that, the ghost woman turned around and walked to the small black wooden boat by the lake, and put the lantern on the bow of the boat, and the black light still burned with a mysterious green light that seemed to never go out......

Xia Yuqian walked back a little distracted, all the time, she was always a little uneasy in her heart, she felt that she was a combination of Xia Yuqian and Princess Enma, the reason why she had such a high cultivation talent was also stained with the light of the princess, which made her deeply confused, because she didn't know whether this was her life or the life of Princess Enma......

When she passed by the small bridge, she raised her head and vaguely saw the figure on the bridge, and recognized it as Xuanwuling Fengchen at a glance.

Xia Yuqian was shocked, this road was the only way to her residence, but she didn't want to meet him at this moment. Maybe they are really not people of the same world, if she is the princess of Enma, then he is the enemy, and if she is Xia Yuqian, then she is just a slave, he is the son of the high, he almost died in order to save her from being seriously injured, and she is ungrateful to fight for his enemy......
