Chapter 45: The Other Side of the Truth
After giving the order, Xiao Qianqiu was dealing with another important matter, his eyes were lowered, it was difficult for others to guess his mood from the outside, from Xue Hualing's point of view, his entire face was almost hidden in the shadows: "What do you think now?"
He asked coldly, the little girl not far from him had been released from the suspended state, her face was not bloody, and there were still some abrasions on her hands and feet that day, her condition could not be said to be very healthy, but considering that she had brushed shoulders with death twice before—the one that was thrown to the rock and almost fell to her death, and the one that was taken away by Xiao Xinglong with evil magic—her current appearance could already be said to be unexpected.

"I'm hungry. Hua Lin replied in an extremely sincere tone, he knew that true immortals were not so easy to deceive, so his words were completely from the heart, Xiao Qianqiu could see the girl's face as if it was illuminated, showing her desire and joy for food, and he could think that she was reminiscing about the taste of food after a long absence, and when he saw this gluttony, he even smiled: "Now you can only eat porridge." ”
"Oh," replied him in a long, unhappy tone, and Hua Lin didn't need any kind of disguise to ...... It's better to say that when he pretends to be a child at the moment, it is a rare moment when he doesn't need to disguise and express his desires: "Can you eat more?"
"I'm afraid not. When he spoke, the blue bird had already flown over with a lacquer plate, on the plate was a large bowl with sea water patterns, and there were two small bowls next to it, a small bowl with lemon flavor sauce, and a small bowl with a silver spoon, in the bowl was hot milk porridge, and the center of the porridge was sprinkled with a little cinnamon powder for fragrance and warming, and Hua Lin's heart jumped, in the dark small medicine shop in the distant Shuanghe, with the deformed Xiao Ruyun and the grandfather of the cinnamon talking, talking about whether he could learn immortal arts in the future, he would open a tea shop in Qingzhou City with his skills, as if it had been a long time ago, but that desolate, the shabby shop, far more comfortable than the magnificent Qiyun Peak.
Despite this, he immediately struggled out of that nostalgia, he was a wizard, and a wizard whose soul contract was still in the hands of the devil, he couldn't turn back because of his attachment to warmth and comfort, he had to move forward, even if it went to a place where Biqi Yunfeng and the Xiao family treated him more coldly and inhumanely.
"It will take a while for the porridge to cool down," Xiao Qianqiu said, "and it just so happens that I am also free at this time—do you remember what happened that day?"
The true immortal was so free, Hua Lin didn't say this blasphemous sentence, he knew how to say it, first paused, and then slowly organized the sentence - anyway, the true immortal was very patient - and free: "That day...... The net spreads. ”
"Nets?"
"It's the net that has been blocking the outside of the Lonely Plum Courtyard," said Hua Lin, "it doesn't stop the servant, it doesn't stop the poet, it knows me like the one under the plum tree...... That thing is the same. ”
Yes, Xiao Qianqiu nodded in his heart, when he placed Hua Ling there, he added corresponding content to the spell of bondage, before he still had doubts about Hua Ling's psychic body, but now he is convinced, this is indeed a talent given by God! This is not like what mortals think, just be able to see some "unclean" things, if you don't get it right, you will harm yourself or something, being able to see another world means that it is easier to see the essence of the world, and this is difficult for even true immortals to do.
That's why he proposed to Xiao Yinyun to use a lot of resources to cultivate Hua Ling, because with him as the guide, Xiao Yinyun's path to true immortal went extremely smoothly, now that I think about it, it was too smooth, and because she hadn't reached his height, she hadn't experienced the hardships, confusion and setbacks he had experienced, that kind of distress with half the effort, clumsy spinning in place, she didn't know how many problems might be solved with the psychic body!
However, no matter how much talent is given by God, it must be controlled by the human heart in order to be used by the world, and he was very unoptimistic about this before—in his life, he had seen too many examples of those who wasted their talents and resources like Xiao Ruge, and they were always too easily tempted by the comfortable life to think that if they found a master, they would no longer have to face any troubles, and thus abandoned the freedom they could have, and turned themselves into outright slaves—without deeds of sale and no shackles, and even less freedom than those who had deeds of sale and shackles. Therefore, he did not give her any more resources, and regarded her purely as a tool for giving birth to the offspring of the Xiao family.
However, this little girl's heart is different, she did not covet the false mortal fire, her eyes kept looking at the real abyss fire, the source of power, she even devoured Xiao Xinglong!
Gradually, he led the subject to this, and Warrin did not try to get away with it in this respect, describing the situation in great detail, and trying to bring the language close to the vocabulary of his present body: "A lot...... A lot of people ...... And then there, I seem to be right there, watching them happen...... And then it's gone...... Then he watched them happen...... "He knows that even Xiao Xinglong has learned the soul hooking magic of the five-color gate in order to fight the enemy, and the first true immortal of the Xiao family should also have a lot of research on this, and it is not possible to pass the test with a few words of nonsense in this regard."
"For example?"
A strange expression appeared on the girl's face: "You...... You quarreled with my dad over drinking, and I thought it was my daddy, but I knew it wasn't my daddy, my dad was in Shuanghe, oops, but ......"
Xiao Qianqiu looked at a plum branch in front of him, the plum tree blooms in the spring, exudes a strong fragrance, the flowers are attached to the branches in a patchwork manner, each branch is exquisite like a painting and like a hairpin, is the favorite of literati painters, they have written, painted this fleeting beauty, want to leave the fragrance of escape in their works forever, and in the thousands of plum forests on Qiyun Peak, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the plum blossoms are full of branches every year, and the fragrance is lingering: "I understand, that's because you see other people's hearts." ”
"Someone else's heart?"
"Yes, little girl with heavenly eyes," Xiao Qianqiu said, "you are born extraordinary, you can see things that others can't see since you were a child, but like the things you see this time, you must be careful - because you may see them again in the future, and they are much more dangerous than you have seen before, because they look like real than anything, but they are not real, they are until you are in your heart - you have seen Xiao Rushi and they change birds and beasts, right?" Your eye can see that it is not a real bird or beast, but when it comes to people's hearts, your eye is useless, because they don't need to look like your father, as long as you 'feel' that it is your father, and being able to see another world does not mean that you can see people's hearts, let alone that you can see the truth. ”
"Really?"
"Really. ”
"Then I won't look at it. ”
"There are some things that you won't see if you don't look at them," Xiao Qianqiu said very slowly, as if he was an old man who took children to identify flowers, birds, fish and insects: "It's just that when you look at it again, you have to remember that it is actually someone else's father, and your own father is still in Shuanghe, so that you will probably not be killed, you will still be yourself, the daughter of the Xue family in Shuanghe County, and no one else." ”
"Yes. Hua Lin nodded, he was actually a little surprised, Xiao Qianqiu just told "her" the principle of resisting the soul hooking spell, but he didn't forget to take the opportunity to inquire about what he had always wanted to ask in his surprise: "In other people's hearts...... You don't have the last name Shaw?"
"I really don't have the surname Shaw. Xiao Qianqiu raised his eyes and looked at him.
