Chapter 4: Xiao Qi's Reflections
Xiao Qiyi didn't understand for a while, "But Cen Lingju said that she saw it with her own eyes...... Is she lying to me? β
Feng Yan laughed and said in a low voice, "She didn't lie to you, it's indeed you, but it's not you." β
Xiao Qi scratched his head.
"Why did Sister start a dumb riddle with me, in the end-"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qi's muttering came to an abrupt end.
She suddenly thought of something, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
In the dark, Feng Yan did not speak, and there was silence between the two for a long time.
Xiao Qi lay there motionless, and even stopped breathing.
Feng Yan leaned over to Xiao Qi and gently held her sister's hand, "...... Scared? β
Xiao Qi was still a little incredulous.
She came to her senses and stumbled a little and said, "What is Sister talking about, I'm ...... How do I ...... Only...... Somewhat...... I don't understand. β
"It's okay if you don't understand." Feng Yan closed her eyes and said softly, "In short, the past has passed, you don't have any more burdens." β
Xiao Qi didn't speak for a long time.
She pinched her fingertips slightly.
First of all, it's not a dream.
Xiao Qi felt that her hands and feet first became cold, and then her face began to burn hot - she felt an embarrassment of a big lie suddenly being punctured and instantly hit her face.
She pressed the back of her hand against her cheek, trying to cool down.
"Sister is ...... When was it discovered? β
Feng Yan thought for a while, "The day you just woke up...... bar. β
Xiao Qi's throat moved, and his mind buzzed againβwouldn't that ...... Was it discovered when you first arrived? Why do you still feel that you have been well hidden?
ββ¦β¦ Where did I show my feet? β
"I can't say where I showed my feet, but I can tell you at a glance," Feng Yan said softly, "because...... You and her are completely two people. β
Xiao Qi only then remembered that her sister could sense the mood of others.
"That'...... That...... Except for Sister A, does anyone else have ......?"
"I told my aunt about this at the time," Feng Yan said softly, "She went to Changling for this purpose, and when she came back, she told me that your star is still hanging in the sky, and my aunt said, maybe this is also a kind of providence, since your star is still twinkling, then no matter who you are, you are the daughter of the Feng family." β
Xiao Qi suddenly realized.
Thinking back to when she first came here, Mrs. Feng really helped her a lot, at that time she still felt that it was probably because the old people always cherished their grandchildren, but now that she thought about it, she suddenly realized a lot of intriguing details.
She cupped her forehead, "So you ...... I've known this for a long time......"
"But it's just the three of us." Feng Yan said with a smile, "It's better for Xiao Qi to be the same as before, and don't tell anyone else about this matter, so as not to cause trouble." β
"Understood......" Xiao Qi nodded, she sighed, and suddenly her eyes were a little hot.
She covered her eyes lightly, and after a long time, she whispered, "What kind of person was Feng Wan before?" She...... Why ......"
Xiao Qi didn't continue, and after a while, she heard Feng Yan next to her also sigh softly.
Feng Yan didn't know how to answer.
Everything that belonged to Ah Wan had become a little blurry in Feng Yan's mind.
Even with the same body and the same facial features, Xiao Qi and Ah Wan are not exactly the same in appearance.
In the past three years, Feng Yan has almost completely forgotten her former sister.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the eaves, and then a dark shadow flashed outside the windowβthe three thousand years old had returned.
Feng Yan was secretly glad that the little fox had come at the right time.
Michitose quickly dried off the water stains in a corner of the room, and then walked towards the bed with small steps, but as it approached, it suddenly took a few steps back and circled in place.
Xiao Qi reacted first, "Ah...... Sister, the place where you rest your feet now is the nest where it usually sleeps. β
When Feng Yan heard this, she immediately shrank her feet.
Xiao Qi sat up, pulled out a soft futon from the soles of Feng Yan's feet, and then gently placed it on the floor at the head of the bed.
She patted the futon, "You're going to sleep here tonight." β
Three thousand years old, his two front paws slapped on the ground several times, as if in protest.
"If you don't want to, you can't," Xiao Qi frowned, "Don't come up!" β
Michitose whimpered, had to run a few laps on the ground, and finally reluctantly returned to the futon and curled up, resting his head on his big tail.
The room was quiet again.
Xiao Qi returned to the bed, "Anyway, will Sister stay at home for a few days next?" β
"Haven't thought about it yet...... What's wrong. β
"You've been coming to my house to sleep these days, okay? Or I'll go to your house. Xiao Qi said softly, "Since Sister A got married, I haven't talked to you like this for a long time......
"Why haven't you talked about it, didn't you come to Wei Mansion for a day last time after school? And the last time I went to Daizong Mountainβ"
"Oh, those don't count." Xiao Qi kicked his legs, "There were people around at those times, and it was not convenient to talk about many things. β
Feng Yan laughed, "Then do you have anything to say to me that you can't let others hear?" β
Xiao Qi frowned and thought for a while, "It doesn't seem to be anything...... But I just don't want anyone else to listen anyway. β
She brushed the corners of the quilt again and said in a low voice, "Sister still remember the four gates that I said when I was on the way up the mountain before?" At that time, you said that when a person is born, he will practice the Tao for 500 years longer than any other living being. β
"yes, yes."
"I've been thinking about this for the past few days, eh, guess what, I've figured something out!"
Feng Yan couldn't help but laugh, "What did Xiao Qi figure out?" β
"I used to think that 3,000 years old can live for 300 years casually, but if people can live for 100 years, they will live a long life. If people really live for 500 years longer than other animals, plants and trees, why is their lifespan so short? β
ββ¦β¦ Well, no. β
Xiao Qi snapped his fingers in the dark, "I also figured it out recently when I was flipping through books and tutoring at home, do you want to hear it?" β
Feng Yan nodded, "Yes." β
"People have souls, demons have demon elements, and once the demon yuan is dispersed, it will completely disappear into the world, but the soul will be reincarnated after death...... I think this may be the reason for the difference - in this world, every 'person' has an immortal soul.
"Whether it's a demon or a human, everyone practices for the sake of immortality. But to put it bluntly, doesn't immortality mean that the spirit and body are immortal. Although the lifespan of the human body is short, the soul is an almost eternal existence, and if we understand it from this perspective, it is very reasonable that the person will be born for 500 years longer than other living beings. β
Feng Yanjing listened.
Xiao Qi leaned on her sister, "Has Sister heard the story of the mermaid?" β
Feng Yan shook her head, "No, what is that?" β
"It's a fairy tale." Xiao Qi said softly, "Tell the story of a mermaid in the sea, who went through all kinds of hardships in order to obtain an immortal soul, and finally got what he wanted. β
