Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen The Magic Mirror

A talisman flashed across the air, and I felt a pain in my left middle finger. Nine drops of blood flew straight out and fell into the nine lamps respectively. I quickly looked down at my hand, but there was no wound on my fingertips, as if the pain at that moment just now was just an illusion. The lights suddenly turned on, and a mirror slowly appeared in the center of the circle, as if gathering all the light. For a moment, only the mirror could be seen, and nothing else in the room could be seen. Mirror! Sixteen years later, see the magic mirror again! But it wasn't what I remembered.

When I saw it for the first time sixteen years ago, it looked no different from an ordinary mirror, but at this moment, it was obviously magical, emitting a strange light that seemed red but not red, green and not green. Nine drops of blood flew out of the lamp and were sucked into the magic mirror.The magic mirror's bright light flickered, dimmed little by little, circled three times in the air, and stopped still. Then I heard a moan, like pain, like relief. The mirror of the magic mirror was turned over, facing me and Jian Lingxi, there was a faint white shadow in the mirror, the outline was not clear, and it was not formed, but I felt that the white shadow was staring at Jian Lingxi, and kept looking at it. with him.

Is she Yixi?Is it the last reflection that the civet used magic to keep her in the mirror?This shadow has absorbed the aura of the Nine Palaces for many years and slowly took shape, and it only needs to sacrifice my spirit to bring her back to life. However, I didn't expect that she would have such a gentle breath. This breath is like warm water, spreading in the air in waves, making my limbs and veins feel indescribably comfortable. "Sixteen years..." Bai Ying said, "How are you doing? Lingxi, how are you doing?" The tears I had finally stopped fell out again. It is completely different from the cold, arrogant and gorgeous voice that I originally thought a demon princess should have. Her voice is very, very indifferent, but it can be directly imprinted in the hearts of the listeners, and it also has a little bit of childish taste.Anyone who has heard it will never forget it forever, and it comes lightly in every small gap scattered in life.

This is the magic sound of nature, right?That night, that's the voice that begged Jian Lingxi to save her, right? I turned my head to look at Jian Lingxi, the sadness in his eyes was getting stronger, and he seemed to be more uncomfortable than me. Sixteen years later, we finally meet again. The white shadow in the mirror repeated again: "Are you doing well? Tell me, are you doing well?" "How do you want me to answer you? One night." Jian Lingxi's voice seemed to be sighing. "Tell me everything that happened to you in these years, just like when I was sealed in the Qingjue Sword. You see, I have been staying in the mirror, I can't go anywhere, and I don't know what's going on outside , and no one is willing to tell me. These sixteen years, counting the days every day, is really too lonely... Tell me, start from the day I disappeared, tell me these years, you How did you spend it?"

I faintly feel that something is wrong, is that white shadow in the mirror really Yixi?Why do I have absolutely no memory of speaking so softly?Is there any memory that has been missed and has not been recalled until now? "Okay." Jian Lingxi said, with a complex expression that was almost calm, "After you disappeared, the curse came true, and Jingxi Lake dried up." Shirai let out an oh. "So I left Nanming and went to a place called Yuancheng. The lord of the city there was a good friend of mine. He promised me that I could live there without being disturbed by anyone. Three months later, Sanniang found me. "

Bai Ying let out another oh. "I don't know how she found me. You have to know that unless you have the spiritual power of Twelve Seasons or Ayin, you can break through the unique enchantment of the original city for thousands of years, but she found it so miraculously... I I think it might be God's will, God arranged for her to appear in front of me first." "She must have suffered a lot." Bai Ying was unbelievably understanding. "Although she didn't say a word, she was ill for a long time. One night, she came to knock on my door and said that Twelve Seasons was entrusted to her in a dream, and told us to go to the stream. Although I felt strange, I still insisted. As we said and done, we found a baby girl by the stream, the first time I saw her, I knew she was your reincarnation."

It turned out that this is how I got to them... Bai Ying glanced at me, and said softly: "Twelve seasons is indeed the most miraculous wise man in the world today, and he even arranged for the reincarnated me to be your adopted daughter." "I wanted you to be an ordinary and happy child, so I didn't tell you your life experience; I thought you should have a mother, so I married San Niang." I gasped, subconsciously stretched out my hand to cover my mouth, I never thought that he married Sanniang for me!for me?Oh my god... I never thought it was such a reason and origin!

But Bai Ying seemed to have guessed it long ago, and said softly: "But of course it is also because she is a good woman, and her sincerity and persistence have moved you, so you finally accepted her and stayed with her, no Is it?" "We ran a tea shop, and I became a storyteller. That's it, sixteen years passed. I taught you to walk, I taught you to read, and I taught you everything that other girls know. You grow older every day. Big, so cheerful, so kind, so sunny, I often think, this is the real one night, right? If you were not born in the demon clan but in the human world, it should be like this, right?" Jian Lingxi said At this point, a smile floated on the corner of his lips and said, "So, I am actually grateful for Twelve Seasons in my heart. He gave me such a precious opportunity to make up for what I owe you."

"I owe..." Bai Ying's voice lingered in the mirror in a low voice. "So," the dazed expression on Jian Lingxi's face suddenly disappeared, and her pupils became extremely clear, "I won't let Xiaoxi die. No matter what, I won't let her die!" As Bai Ying swayed, his voice became more determined, and he said word by word: "Even if you cannot be resurrected because of this." Bai Ying was silent for a long time, then giggled, the louder and louder the laughter, with her laugh, the gentle breath in the air dissipated, and the whole room became indescribably cold, as if Same in the freezer.

"Yixi!" Jian Lingxi shouted heavily. Bai Ying ignored it and continued to laugh loudly. The room was full of her echoes, swaying in my ears, which made me feel sad.Sixteen years, kill you, save you; save you, seal you; seal you, let you go; let you go, catch you... So many entanglements, until now, I have to face the breakup again... Who can bear such torture?Yixi in the mirror was not smiling, it was obviously the most painful cry! For a moment, I suddenly had an impulse, I really wanted to go over and say it's okay, kill me, use me to revive you, because I don't want you to suffer so much!Yixi, I don't want you to suffer so much...

You are me, how can I be willing to make you so sad, so sad... "Yixi!" Jian Lingxi suddenly stepped forward and reached out to grab the magic mirror and said sadly, "Don't think that I can't cry just because I don't have tears..." The laughter in the mirror stopped. There was a silence. After a long time, Bai Ying said word by word: "I understand." Jian Lingxi let go of her hand. "However," Bai Ying said in a deep voice, "I want to be resurrected. No matter what, I must be resurrected!" She paused after imitating Jian Lingxi's previous tone, and said coldly: "Even if I kill you." Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the room without windows on all sides, and a white feather floated out of the magic mirror in the wind.The wind was very strong, but Bai Yu floated very slowly, seemingly without any lethality, completely different from what I encountered in the Eighth Hall.But Jian Lingxi's complexion suddenly changed, as if facing an enemy, she quickly pulled me behind and stood in front of me. "Do you think you can resist me?" Yixi in the mirror smiled, "Don't forget, this is a magic palace, and your strength is less than one-tenth." Jian Lingxi was holding the Qing Jue sword, and it was clear that she hadn't fought much, but her forehead was already sweating, and the fine beads of sweat condensed little by little, and then slowly flowed down. The gust of wind suddenly stopped, but the white feathers started to flicker like lightning, so fast that I couldn't see clearly, only heard the piercing sound, in the end, I couldn't even hear the sound, I only knew that Jian Lingxi was leading me Constantly turning and jumping.Even so, I still can't stand. The wind blew again. This time, it was more urgent than before, and it was also very, very cold. The blood all over his body seemed to be frozen. As soon as he let go of his fingers, he immediately fell back from the protection of Jian Lingxi. "Xiaoxi!" He flew over and grabbed me, but he was dragged by me and couldn't stand up.I bit my lower lip, choked up and said, "Sir, let me go..." "What nonsense are you talking about!" With more force coming from his hand, he stabbed the Qing Jue sword into the ground to stabilize his figure and fight against the strong wind. My eyes were blown shut by the wind. At this moment, I couldn't see everything around me, only the feeling of holding hands tightly, which was hot and powerful.Not so long ago, I thought I'd lost him forever... Sir, sir!I don't want to be separated from you!I don't want to be separated from you! I hugged him back, like hugging my last life. The strong wind suddenly disappeared, and Jian Lingxi and I fell forward together.As soon as his body touched the ground, he felt the ground fluctuate layer by layer, becoming more and more violent, and finally began to crack piece by piece. For a time, there is no hiding, no avoiding! Jian Lingxi's voice sounded extremely sad: "Does one have to die to stop it?" "Yes." In the magic mirror, there was no warmth in the voice. Jian Lingxi laughed suddenly, very warmly. I never thought that he would have such a smile on his face at this time. I just heard him say: "Well, kill me first." He spoke very slowly and his tone was very calm, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in my heart. At that moment, he suddenly hugged me and whispered in my ear: "Xiaoxi, goodbye." I was startled, and before I had time to react, he suddenly pushed me hard. My body flew backward in a straight line, and I smelled blood in my nose. When I fixed my eyes again, Jian Lingxi had already jumped into the magic mirror! The right hand is empty, clenched tightly, still empty. This feeling of emptiness is like an illusion. I can't believe why the hand that was still tightly held just a moment ago suddenly disappeared at this moment. gentlemen!gentlemen!Jane Lingxi!Jane Lingxi! I quickly ran to the magic mirror, and saw in the mirror that the earth was shaking, the boulders were rolling, Jian Lingxi was standing upright in the raging dust, and the Qingjue sword in my hand was emitting a bloody light that was so thick that it was almost depressing. There is a faint black shadow dancing in the blood light. "Qingjue, originally belonged to Fantie. Fortunately, I had the chance to enjoy the essence of the sun and the moon and the aura of heaven and earth in Jingxi Lake for more than a thousand years, and I got its cold air; I fed it with 360,000 blood, and I got its evil spirit. The one who won the sword in the end Jian Lingxi used thaumaturgy to lock the souls of seventy-nine masters of the rivers and lakes, and got the resentment of being unable to reincarnate and not being free." He said slowly, although the sound quality was still the same, but it no longer had that warm and watery taste. Although I have never heard it before, I just know that this is the voice that really belongs to Jian Lingxi.The voice of the sentimental and ruthless Jian Lingxi that belongs to Nanming Jingxi Lake alone. "No...don't...sir, don't..." I suddenly started crying, crying in a mess.The words just now kept echoing in my mind—Xiaoxi, goodbye. ——Xiaoxi, goodbye. Goodbye, that is eternal farewell? Goodbye, that is forever farewell! "There are thousands of years of sun and moon essence, heaven and earth spiritual energy, 360,000 fresh blood, and 79 masters, so there is such a sword. I don't believe it can't destroy this magic mirror!" The last word gracefully disappeared from Jian Lingxi's lips, and I saw the black shadow on Qingjue Sword flying wildly, and the bloody light of the sword was connected with the sky outside the mirror, gradually blurring. No!don't want!I won't let you die, I can't die, I won't let you die!I don't allow it! ! Suddenly, something seemed to explode between my eyebrows, bursting out a clear light like a bright moon. Wherever the clear light went, the blood color suddenly faded, and the strange light on the magic mirror that seemed green, non-green, red, and non-red also appeared. Slowly dissipated... This happened in an instant, but for some reason, the process in my mind was absolutely long, long enough for me to recall other things——
I was sealed in the Jue Qing Sword for nine years.During those nine years, she faced Jian Lingxi day and night. He always sits quietly by the lake, looking far away, and the Qing Jue Sword is placed less than three inches away from him.Every day I use the most vicious words to scold him, laugh at him and satirize him, but he never responds, as if he can't hear. Then one day, two people came to Nanming, a place that was rarely visited by people.Jian Lingxi turned around and was a little surprised to see the person coming. It was a very old man, the first time I saw him, I just thought: Why is such an old human being still alive?It was only later that I found out that the old man was actually Jian Lingxi's master - Wu Mingzi. But the one who followed him was a young girl.Wu Mingzi said: "Sanniang, come here and see Lingxi." The girl raised her head, her red face, her eyes were very, very shy and gentle, she glanced at Jian Lingxi, then immediately lowered her head again, and saluted almost imperceptibly: "I have seen you brother." "She is Mr. Qin's only daughter. Mr. Qin asked her to worship me as a teacher when he was dying. I have important things to do, so I will bring her to live with you for a few days. I will decide how to arrange her when I come back." Jian Lingxi didn't speak.So Wu Mingzi left quickly, as if he was fleeing.In this way, this Qin girl named Sanniang lived in Nanming. Jian Lingxi seldom talks to her, and she also enjoys herself, cooking and cleaning every day, and taking care of all the housework.Although Jian Lingxi didn't say anything, I think this girl's cooking skills must be very good, because no matter how much rice she served, he would finish it. Only once, Qin Sanniang asked him: "When will Master come back?" "He's not coming back." "Ah?" She was surprised, but he smiled and didn't say any more. While sitting by the lake, I couldn't help but said, "Your immortal master actually threw her to you like a big burden?" I didn't expect him to answer, but he nodded and said, "Yes." "You know what he's up to, and you still let him do this nonsense?" "It doesn't matter. I've been with him for twenty years and I'm used to it." "As expected of the little monster taught by the old monster! What a pair of monster master and apprentice!" I snorted coldly, but I didn't want to but heard him call: "Yixi." "What for?" He looked at the sunset over the lake with a very amiable expression: "Don't you think it is a very happy thing to be able to quietly watch the sunrise and sunset every day like now? After twenty years, the world finally welcomes Come to Taiping." I was stunned for a moment, then I was furious again, and screamed: "That's in exchange for my freedom! Hell, you are the only one who feels happy! If you switch with me, you will be sealed in the sword and try!" Try? Is there still such a leisurely way to watch the sunrise and sunset?" Jian Lingxi stared at the sword for a long time, finally sighed softly, and did not speak again. I became uneasy, obviously very angry, but deep down in my heart, there was still a little joy mixed in, like eating plums, sour and sweet.I don't understand what it feels like, but the sunset that day has become completely different in my heart - the colorful clouds are layered on the horizon, and the evening wind is blowing from the other side of the lake. It is indeed a very leisurely and beautiful evening. Woolen cloth…… So many, many days passed. That day, Jian Lingxi put the sword on the table and went into the inner room to take a bath.I don't know if it's because he avoids me, but he never takes a sword when he takes a bath.I was feeling bored at the table, when I suddenly saw Qin Sanniang walking in with a new set of clothes, and put the clothes beside his pillow. Usually she would leave quickly after putting away her things, but that day she lingered in the room like a ghost, and finally took out a very delicately woven belt from her arms and put it gently on the table. Belt, blushing, both happy and shy. There was a sudden shock in my heart, something inexplicable swelled from my chest, I really wanted to scream, almost instantly, I made a decision.Even in retrospect, I don't understand why I chose to do that then. Although it is sealed in the sword, it is still possible to cast small spells. I let her sleeve touch the teacup on the table when she turned around, and the tea flowed out immediately, which wet the long sword. Of course she was surprised, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it, but the more she rubbed it, the bigger the stains became.Then I use my strength to make a thought jump into her mind-take it to wash by Jingxi Lake, and it will be washed clean. Sure enough, she was tricked, and tiptoedly took the sword and washed it by Jingxi Lake. As soon as the long sword entered the water, I broke the sword as if I had received divine power, escaped from the break, and my body was in contact with the air again. The feeling of being free again made me laugh out loud.Laughter spread throughout Nanming, Qin Sanniang's face was as pale as paper. Looking at Jian Lingxi who hurried out of the house with clothes on, I sneered and said, "Don't think you can lock me up forever, I'm leaving! Jian Lingxi, goodbye!" He stood at the door unexpectedly and did not catch up. I turned around while running away, only to see the setting sun reflected on him, and his whole body was like a gilded border.I will never forget that scene because it was the first time I saw heartache in his eyes. Yes, heartache.Those eyes clearly showed that he had lost the thing he loved most, and suddenly lost his support. Jian Lingxi, maybe you think that sealing me in the sword is the best solution for the world to be peaceful and we can be together forever, but you don’t know, even though I have a heart, it’s soft and tender Although I am broken, the pride of belonging to the demon princess is still deeply imprinted in my flesh and blood. I want freedom!I cannot tolerate anyone depriving me of my freedom!even if-- In the name of love. That day, the sword broke and I escaped. Unexpectedly, as soon as he fled to the border between Nanming and the human world, he ran into Qi Que, A You and Liu Shu who accompanied him. They were startled for a moment, and then quickly started to push me back to the edge of Jingxi Lake step by step.In order to save Qin Sanniang, Jian Lingxi resisted with her body, my hand stopped before my consciousness, Ayou Qiyu took the opportunity to stab me twice, I fell to the ground, and saw my transparent body. The desire to escape disappeared in an instant.I looked at my body tremblingly, and a wave of despair welled up in my heart.So what if you were free?I am no longer the old me!I can't go back, I can't go back... So I can't go back! The world is vast, but why is there no place for me?I yelled up to the sky, shouting out my nine years of anger and grievances, and hissed: "What did I do wrong? Why did God want to kill me? Why did God want to kill me—" Since then, it has been wiped out, and it will never be restored.
The cold light dispelled the blood mist, devoured the memories in his mind, and re-illuminated everything in front of him. I slowly lift my eyelids. At the entrance of the eyes is Jian Lingxi's extremely shocked face, he said anxiously: "Xiaoxi! Xiaoxi!" "Sir..." I grabbed his hand, how good it was, it was a real hand, warm and always dry, he didn't disappear into the magic mirror, he was still alive. "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi..." He held my head in his hands, his voice hoarse. I looked back over his shoulder and saw the magic mirror that was completely broken, and I reached out to touch the center of my brow, and sure enough, the bead called the musk moon bead was gone. "Sir, I want to be with you and Sanniang forever, and live a happy life together..." "Okay, we're together, we're together forever!" I smiled sadly, and made a sound with great difficulty: "But... I want to eliminate Yixi's pain more, I don't want her to suffer so much anymore. Because if she can't be resurrected, she will stay in the magic mirror forever, living alone. One hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years, or even longer, I will never be free... I can't bear it, I can't bear it, sir..." Jian Lingxi hugged me, her hands were shaking. "I don't know how I learned it, maybe my instinct told me that if I want to be free overnight, I have to smash the magic mirror... Unexpectedly, something that even Qingjuejian can't do, let me I did it, and the mirror shattered..." "Yes, it was broken, and it was freed overnight..." "But, I can't survive, right?" I looked up at the most important person in my life in front of me. How many years have I been so familiar with his eyes?When I met him, he was 23 years old and I was 20 years old; after that, I was sealed in the sword for 9 years, and when I escaped, he was 32 years old and I was 29 years old; after 16 years, now, he Forty-eight years old, I am sixteen years old... Over the years, the world has changed, but he is still the most important person in my life.In the last life, I was an enemy, an opponent, an endless calamity and injustice entwined with love and hate, the source of all my pain, and the only sweetness I have experienced in my life; in this life, I am a loving father, a close relative, a The warmth and attachment that accompany each other through life and death is the source of my happiness and my hope that can never be fulfilled... It can never be perfect. I grabbed his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Sir, promise me something?" "Say it. No matter what it is, sir will promise you." "You must go back safely, and go back to find Sanniang. You don't want to be separated, you have to be good and happy together..." Jian Lingxi's voice was almost choked with sobs: "I promise you. I will go back safely." "Then I'm relieved..." My gaze shifted from his face to the top, the room in the ninth hall disappeared, and outside was the star-studded night sky, the dawn was coming, the morning glow was about to rise, countless times, I was in Jianli waited with him for this moment, he was so willful at that time, he didn't know how precious this kind of happiness is, but now, it is impossible to have it again... "I envy Sanniang so much, I really envy her..." I murmured the last truth, and felt my body shatter like a cup. At the last moment of dissipating, a warm kiss was imprinted on my forehead. In the blurred vision, I saw the last image of Jian Lingxi. Those black eyes were like stars, making people addicted to it, and would rather stay drunk forever ! Never wake up.
