The snow gradually stopped, and the icy world slowly changed. It was the night when Tan Ying'er died, and Hua Xuan was standing downstairs at the moment.

Just as Hua Xuan approached the towering house, a woman's voice came.

"Hua Xuan, Hua Xuan!"

The voice was slender and soft, Hua Xuan listened carefully, and only then did he hear that this was Tan Ying'er's voice. Following the source of the voice, Hua Xuan saw Tan Ying'er standing behind him.

"Tan Ying'er?" Hua Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Isn't she already dead?

Hua Xuan suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Why are you here?" Aren't you already? ”

Tan Ying'er smiled like a flower and interrupted: "Yes, I'm already dead!" What you see now is nothing more than a ghost. ”

Hua Xuan was shocked, he had only seen the matter of ghosts and gods in books, it was difficult to do it, there were really things in this world! Hua Xuan's heart was a little suspicious, and he suddenly felt that everything around him was a little unreal.

Tan Ying'er paused and continued: "Hua Xuan, actually, I have two questions, and I still don't know the answers, can you help me answer them?" ”

Hua Xuan suppressed his inner thoughts, "You ask!" ”

Tan Ying'er lowered her head and said a little shyly: "Hua Xuan, for the first time, you and I have the same room, is there a ...... between us?"

"If so, what should you do? If not, what should you do? Hua Xuan immediately interrupted, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

"If so, then it will be worth it for me to die for you! If not......" Tan Ying'er was silent for a while, and then reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "If not, it's okay!" After all, I am a killer, my life is worthless, and I am also lowly and humble, and I don't deserve your identity at all, so it is understandable that you dislike me! ”

Tan Ying'er was a little incoherent because she was sad. Bean-sized tears dripped down his face. Hua Xuan saw it and relented again.

Hua Xuan walked over, raised his hand and stroked her head dotingly, smiled gently, and jokingly persuaded her: "Silly girl! You want to give me your innocence so much? ”

After hearing this, Tan Ying'er's face was red with shame. When Hua Xuan saw it, he stopped teasing her, and said, "Silly girl, in fact, we did those things that night!" It's just that you were too tired later, so you went to bed very early that night. ”

Looking at Tan Ying'er's look of conviction, Hua Xuan apologized again and again in his heart, because nothing happened that night! Hua Xuan only treats Tan Ying'er as a sister, and he doesn't think much about the rest! Lying to her now is just to make up for the regret in her heart, if the truth will make her sad, then Hua Xuan would rather hide the truth forever.

This kind deception made Tan Ying'er not know the truth until she died. But that's fine, in this way, Tan Ying'er can always live in a dream woven by lies.

Tan Ying'er still looked tearful and sad, and after hearing the satisfactory answer, she immediately wiped away her tears and continued to ask: "Then let me ask you again, in your heart, what do you think of me?" ”

Hua Xuan blurted out without hesitation, "Sister! Tan Ying'er, I'm you, I've always been a sister! Actually, if you hadn't died that day, I would have doubled my compensation for you after that. ”

"Hua Xuan......" Tan Ying'er lowered her head and called softly, Hua Xuan immediately interrupted: "Don't call me Hua Xuan, call me brother!" ”

Tan Ying'er raised her head and looked at Hua Xuan, Hua Xuan looked at Tan Ying'er with a smile on her face.

Tan Ying'er smiled and called, "Brother! ”

After finishing speaking, only in an instant, I saw the sharp sword penetrate Tan Ying'er's body from behind, and the sharp sword rubbed against the bones in Tan Ying'er's body to make a "click" sound that directly stimulated Hua Xuan's eardrums.

"Don't!" Hua Xuan shouted anxiously, but it was still too late.

Tan Ying'er only felt a sharp pain all over her body, her pupils dilated, and the expression on her face became distorted due to the pain. A stream of blood spat out of his mouth, and then, his whole body went numb, and he collapsed with his eyes closed.

But what Hua Xuan saw was that she turned into a wisp of green smoke and drifted into the distance.

This is the second time, Tan Ying'er died in front of her, and he was helpless and powerless, so he could only watch her disappear.

Anger and unwillingness rose again, and Hua Xuan began to hate his incompetence. Hua Xuan, who was immersed in sadness, blamed himself, and involuntarily shed a teardrop on his face.

"Is it painful to see your loved ones die in front of you one by one, and you can't do anything?"

A voice identical to Hua Xuan's ears reached Hua Xuan's ears, but there was confusion and sighing in this voice.

Hua Xuan followed the sound and saw a person who was exactly like himself and had exactly the same score standing behind him. Seeing this person, Hua Xuan was taken aback at first, then stabilized his emotions, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man smiled harmlessly, "I'm Hua Xuan, I'm you!" ”

Hua Xuan looked at him carefully and found that this person not only had the same voice and appearance as him, but even his every move, tone of voice, and body seemed to be carved out of the same mold as him. This person is like a second Huaxuan!

The man chuckled, "Hua Xuan, I just asked you, are you sad to watch the people you want to protect die tragically because of your cowardice and incompetence in the end?" Is it painful? ”

Hua Xuan didn't answer, but just calmed down and analyzed: There can't be two Hua Xuan in the world! Also, his father and aunt have been dead for so many years, how could he possibly see that scene? So, there must be something wrong with this. Hua Xuan observed the surrounding environment, and found that the surrounding environment can constantly change, and he can go back to the past, the most important thing is that what happens is the most obsessed thing in his heart, and these things that happen in front of him can always drive him and bewitch his mind. Hua Xuan thought about it, he could turn back time, and he could also demagogue, except for the magic of the Wu clan, there was only the second possibility, everything was fake now, Hua Xuan was dreaming now!

Illusion can confuse people's minds and immerse them in dreams, whether they are nightmares or sweet dreams, and once they are addicted, they will never wake up. Therefore, Hua Xuan must be addicted to illusion and in a dream.

Seeing that Hua Xuan didn't answer, the corners of the man's mouth hooked up a touch, and he smiled evilly.

"Hua Xuan, don't you think you're a coward and a waste?" As he spoke, a mocking laugh pierced Hua Xuan's eardrums.

"Hahaha, hahaha!" This laughter was sharp and piercing to Hua Xuan.

The man continued: "Hua Xuan, as His Royal Highness of the Yuxuan Kingdom, you can't protect your own people, but you can't even protect your relatives, think about your father, emperor, aunt, all died tragically because of your cowardice and incompetence, and Tan Ying'er is the person you want to protect the most, how does it feel to see her die in front of you for the second time, and you can't do anything to save her?" Is it comfortable? ”

Hua Xuan walked to a distance of half a foot from him, not angry or annoyed, and said calmly: "You don't want to mess with my mind with these words!" When my father and aunt died, I wasn't there at all. Of course, as a son of man, I am indeed unfilial, and as His Royal Highness of Yuxuan Kingdom, I do have an unshirkable responsibility. However, let me tell you, although the Yuxuan Kingdom was destroyed, one day, the Yuxuan Kingdom will be rebuilt by my descendants of the Hua family. As for Tan Ying'er, he sacrificed for the righteousness of his family and country, and died well, and when he returned to the country, I would rebuild her mausoleum and build a tomb, and bury her well. I will also build her a temple so that her spiritual throne can be revered by future generations for all eternity. ”

The man listened and said sarcastically, "Oh? Is it? Don't you think, your explanation is far-fetched? The man paused and continued: "Hua Xuan, you are really an out-and-out and sanctimonious hypocrite! How much does Tan Ying'er treat you, she doesn't want to betray you and hurt you until she dies, what about you? You're just sorry for an understatement? Build a mausoleum and build a tomb for her, and then build a temple for her, can you compensate for what you owe her? The man sneered, "Huh! When you say this, it really makes me think that you are not only cowardly and incompetent, but also a scumbag beast! You pretend to be benevolent on the surface, but in reality, how many shady things have you done in secret? Those villains on the rivers and lakes kill people, which is called indiscriminate killing of innocents, and when it comes to you, it becomes a sacrifice for the "righteousness of the family and country". Hua Xuan, ask yourself, doesn't your conscience hurt when these words come out of your mouth? ”

He said that, and he was right! If she hadn't used Tan Ying'er at the beginning, she wouldn't have died because she liked Hua Xuan too much, since she didn't love it, why bother to provoke it? In the end, it was Hua Xuan who was sorry for her! Also, on the rivers and lakes, good and evil have not been separated since ancient times! In fact, there is nothing wrong with the Demon Sect, they just kill people openly and honestly, and they never hide it, just because they live freely, so they are defined by righteous people as killing innocents indiscriminately! On the other hand, in order to protect their own image, they kill people in secret, and after killing, they have to dispose of all relevant human and material evidence, for fear that one day, their evil deeds will be exposed by the world. So, in the final analysis, isn't the right way the same as the evil way?

Hua Xuan was speechless at the man's words, and had no way to defend himself, so he had to use his hands to slap the person in front of him, and his palm was like a broken bamboo towards the person, and when the person saw it, he was not in a hurry, and he actually made a palm, and the strange thing is that this person's palm and action were the same as Hua Xuan.

The two palms collided and froze in the air for a while, and then, the two palms restrained each other and dissolved in the air.

Hua Xuan frowned, a little displeased, "Who are you?" ”

The man said unhurriedly: "I said, I am you!" ”

The man walked up to Hua Xuan and explained, "Hua Xuan, stop fighting!" I know all your martial arts, if you really fight, you can only lose both. And, here, our feelings are connected, and if I get hurt, you get hurt too. If we are injured together, then we will not only have to endure our own injuries, but also each other's injuries, so let's stop fighting! ”

Hua Xuan didn't listen to his nonsense, performed light skills, jumped up, and hit the man in the abdomen with his palm, and the man was caught off guard and received a slap. A mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, and Hua Xuan actually felt a pain in his abdomen, and suddenly felt the true qi in his body surge, and then a mouthful of blood gushed to the ground.

The man raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and reminded: "I said that I would get hurt, why don't you believe it?" ”

Hua Xuan said in his heart, this illusion is really strange, why is that person injured, I will empathize? Hua Xuan carefully looked at the person in front of him, and said in his heart: If you can't get out of this illusion, then you will be trapped in it for the rest of your life. This illusion can create a person who is exactly like me, and as long as this person is injured, I will also be injured, so can this illusion only wake up once he dies?

Thinking of this, Hua Xuan completely understood that the person in front of him was another cowardly, incompetent and cowardly self, as long as he killed him, it would be equivalent to overcoming his shortcomings. As for why I can empathize, maybe it's because the phoenix is nirvana and is reborn after death!

Hua Xuan couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that a person's biggest enemy is still himself!

Hua Xuan didn't say much, he fought directly with the person in front of him, the two of them had the same moves, even in the comparison of light skills, the two of them were fighting hotly, the sky was dark, the two of them made a move, I had a palm, it was wonderful. It wasn't until the last two were exhausted that they stopped. I saw that the two of them were covered in bruises, and when they stood on the ground, they were all paralyzed to the ground due to the exhaustion of internal force, and there were still blood stains on the corners of their mouths.

The man was doubly wounded, but he was still holding on, and he struggled to say, "Why bother? Isn't it good to live in peace? You have to lose both. ”

Hua Xuan stabilized the true qi in his body, and said with murderous intent: "Today, even if I throw my life here, I will kill you!" ”

After speaking, he stood up with his strong body, and slammed his palm at the man with all his strength, maybe the man was really tired, or maybe he couldn't move. So, he didn't hide or dodge, closed his eyes, and took this palm with relief. Hua Xuan only felt that his whole body was numb.

Just after Hua Xuan fell to the ground and closed his eyes, Tan Ying'er's voice came into his ears again, only to hear Tan Ying'er calling anxiously: "Brother, brother, wake up quickly!" Brother, you can't sleep, brother, wake up~"

Tan Ying'er's voice seemed to be illusory, far and near, and there was a hint of ethereal in the middle. Although Tan Ying'er's voice was full of concern, Hua Xuan only felt that it was not very real when he listened to it.

Hua Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and saw the surrounding mountain walls and the people of Jingyuan Hou waiting for him to wake up.
