forget the river mirror

Chapter 108
Mirror Xuanjie, Yuncheng.

……

……

After the transparent ripples swept across the city, it was as if the pause button had been pressed on the city. Everyone's movements stopped for a second, and everyone's eyes shone with emerald green light.

Whether they are monks or ordinary people, they all have their own consciousness, but they cannot control their bodies.

At this time, they have all become the nourishment of Nalan Yi.

But outside the city, Mu Qingfeng had already recovered his old-fashioned appearance, standing quietly behind Nalan Yi.

Nalanyi raised her hand gracefully, and the vegetation under her body quickly grew into two chairs. After signaling Lin Chuan to sit down, she leaned on the chair and said lazily:

"You are the first human being I have come into contact with. Although you are full of lies, I still regard you as my friend."

Speaking of this, Nalanyi paused for a while, stared at Lin Chuan's eyes for a long time, and then continued:

"Humans are actually very easy to understand, because they are all animals dominated by emotions, but I can't see through you, and I can't understand your criteria for judging good and evil. In your opinion, am I a wicked person now?"

"I do not know."

Lin Chuan stood there with a wry smile and shook his head. Just now he was able to comfort Xuan Jing eloquently, asking him to save others first, but now facing Nalan Yi, he couldn't speak.

Because she doesn't seem to have done anything wrong.

Just like what she said, life is always equal. If the people who died today were not the people of a city, but the weeds of a place, then Lin Chuan would not have any mood swings at all.

But weeds also have life.

Nalan Yi didn't ask, but lowered his head, made himself a grimace mask out of vegetation, put it on his face, and asked in a very gloomy voice:

"Does my current appearance meet your definition of a villain?"

Lin Chuan stepped forward, took off her mask naturally, and said helplessly:

"No, I have roughly understood what you mean. You have been asking me for so long, can you answer me a question?"

"You said."

"Do you regard humans as your enemy... or as nourishment?"

"No, I will only use my enemies as nourishment, regardless of whether the enemy is human or not."

The faint scent of flowers filled Lin Chuan's nasal cavity, and he didn't know how to describe his current mood.

In Ling'an's eyes, this girl was clearly just a monk who had just entered the Qi Sea Realm, but Lin Chuan felt the pressure from her that only when facing the ancestor Wuji directly.

Keeping such a girl who is indifferent to life...or in other words, who respects life too much, no one knows what will happen in the future.

Lin Chuan got up and looked at Mu Qingfeng, and said with a wry smile:

"It seems that I can only hold your thigh up to this point. I will bring Miss Nalan's words to the elders. Please take care of Miss Nalan's emotions. Human beings... are very complicated, and there is no way to define them in terms of good and evil. "

Mu Qingfeng nodded, and didn't say anything more. Maybe now, he is the saddest one.

Nalan Yi tilted his head and said:
"Take care of my emotions? Do you want to make me happy? That's very simple, you stay with me... Yes, the bridal chamber, then I will be very happy."

Lin Chuan staggered and almost fell to the ground. Is it fair to say?

Looking at Lin Chuan with a pale face, Nalan Yi asked with strange concern:
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Didn't you say that human males are the happiest when they mate? You can't..."

Mu Qingfeng next to him finally came to his senses, and quickly covered Nalan Yi's mouth, not letting her continue.

"Old Mu...how about finding a private tutor for Miss Nalan, my little heart can't stand such a big stimulus..."

"Boy, don't think about my lady, just go."

Mu Qingfeng left a word coldly, and flew back to Yuncheng with Nalan Yi.

Lin Chuan swallowed back the complaints that came to his lips. With Junior Sister Jiang around, how could he have a crush on other girls, not to mention that Nalan Yi is not sure whether it is a man or a woman, no, she is not at all. people……

Those entanglements about the equality of life just now were dispelled in this way, Lin Chuan quickly sorted out his mood, followed the direction given by Ling An, and chased Xuan Jing and the others.

……

On the other side, after Nalanyi returned to Yuncheng, he broke away from Mu Qingfeng and said indifferently:

"Notify all the clansmen to come here. I have been hiding for nearly a thousand years, and there is no improvement. If you don't want to be wiped out, you have to take the initiative."

Mu Qingfeng glanced at her with some distress, and then bowed his head to accept the order and left.

Nalan Yi's status in the Yaozhi clan is far higher than Lin Chuan thought. The Yaozhi clan, which has been silent for nearly a thousand years, could not have been born so easily if they hadn't seen hope.

She was naturally not as ignorant as she appeared.

After all, when she was born with consciousness, she was in the form of a human being, and it has been nearly a hundred years now.

Even if you are isolated from the world, it is impossible not to know about men and women.

Nalan Yi's original goal was Pingluan College, and it was easier to accumulate strength by parasitic casual cultivators with potential.

It was Lin Chuan's strength that made her change her mind. Although she knew that it was impossible for every student in the Qi Sea Realm to have Lin Chuan's strength, Nalan Yi did not dare to gamble.

In comparison, Yuncheng is more suitable as the first place where Yaozhi was born.

However, what she just said to Lin Chuan did not lie a few words, even including the bridal chamber. Even in the eyes of Yaozhi, Lin Chuan is definitely a high-quality man.

……

Lin Chuan has no time to take care of these things now, because at this moment, Shan'er is lying on his head, complaining frantically...

"Lin Chuan! You are simply not human!"

"When you need him, call him Xiaosanger, and when you don't need him, call him Rabbit Ears!"

"Do you know how scary that little girl is!!? My hair is so frightened!!"

……

In normal times, Lin Chuan would have already tied the knot and thrown out Shan'er, but this time it was indeed his fault.

The main reason is that the shock he just received was too great, he even forgot that Shan'er was still outside the city, if Shan'er hadn't come to look for him on his own initiative, he would have lost the little monk's spiritual pet just like that...

Moreover, Lin Chuan also needed some voices to ease his emotions, so until Shan'er was tired of scolding, he didn't reply, which made Shan'er a little embarrassed.

"That... I'm not blaming you, why don't you take me to sleep next time, and do spring at night like this..."

Lin Chuan pinched the word "dream" before Shan'er said it, and then she became the "cleaning cloth" in Lin Chuan's hands, slowly wiping the galaxy...

"I was wrong."

Xin'er admitted his mistake very decisively, but Lin Chuan's technique of wiping the knife became more and more proficient.

It wasn't until he saw Xuan Jing's carriage that Lin Chuan tied up the knot and put it in his arms.

"Brother!"

Xuan Jing couldn't do anything about going back to make trouble for Lin Chuan, but he couldn't let go of his worry about Lin Chuan. Fortunately, he could feel the existence of Xin Er all the time, so he kept silent and didn't show it.

But the moment he saw Lin Chuan, he still couldn't hold back, jumped out of the carriage, and greeted him.

It's just that Lin Chuan's complexion was ugly, and because he didn't see Mu Lao and Miss Nalan, Xuan Jing thought that Mu Lao and the others had been arrested.

Xuan Jing hesitated and said:
"How about I ask Master to come and save them..."

He knew that by notifying Master at this time, he had voluntarily given up this time in the world of mortals, but he was unwilling to leave regrets for himself and Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan sighed, called Liu Zheng over, and recounted what happened just now.

"...The result is that Nalanyi has occupied the entire city of Yun, and all the people in that city have become her nourishment."

After Lin Chuan finished speaking, both Liu Zheng and Xuan Jing fell into a long silence.

Compared with Xuan Jing's self-blame, Liu Zheng's mood is more complicated.

On the one hand, the excitement of being finally recognized by Lin Chuan, on the other hand, the town where he lived since he was a child has disappeared like this. Although his relatives are no longer there, that city still carries his memory.

But Xuan Jing simply blamed himself, he blamed himself for being too easy to trust others, blamed himself for not being able to see through Mu Qingfeng and Miss Nalan's true colors, and blamed himself for not being able to save the people in that city.

Lin Chuan thought about hiding the truth from Xuan Jing, but he didn't want this to become the little monk's demon in the future.

Although the current Xuanjing is in pain, as long as he passes this hurdle, he will still be the Buddha who can save all living beings.

"Brother, give me some time."

Xuan Jing performed a Buddha ceremony unconsciously, then sat cross-legged on the spot, forgot to conceal his identity.

Lin Chuan let Ling An pick him up and sent him back to the carriage.

Lu Qinqin raised the curtain of the car, glanced at Lin Chuan and Liu Zheng, but didn't speak.

At first, she thought that she was the center of all people, and even thought that she was the protagonist of this world, but after experiencing her uncle's betrayal, she knew that these people were not as simple as they seemed.

Born in Lu's family, even if she was pampered and raised, she still knows what business is. In addition, she already had a good impression of Xuan Jing, so along the way, she became Xuan Jing's friend in the name of needing comfort.

Even her maid, A Shuang, subconsciously showed her feminine charm when talking to Liu Zheng.

Only Lin Chuan not only puts on a villain's face, but also behaves in a standard villain style, which makes her afraid to get close.

The speed of the carriage was not in a hurry, and Liu Zheng walked quietly behind Lin Chuan without speaking.

……

After a long time, Lin Chuan suddenly asked:

"am I wrong?"

He didn't look at Liu Zheng, as if he was just asking himself.

But Liu Zheng responded without hesitation:

"Senior brother is not wrong. If Ms. Nalan hadn't made a move, the person who died today would probably be the senior brother. If someone dies, they will lose everything. Only if they are alive can they have a future."

"But the people in that city..."

"You didn't kill it, senior brother, it was Ms. Nalan. Even if senior brother is not here today, they will die. This is their fate."

Lin Chuan turned around in surprise:

"You talked a lot today."

Liu Zheng stared into Lin Chuan's eyes without fear, and said seriously:
"Senior brother... be indomitable."

"Listen to you, you are fine now, don't pretend to be servile in the future."

After Lin Chuan finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully, but Liu Zheng immediately returned to his usual respectful look.

……

……

The journey for the next two days was uneventful.

Nalanyi occupied Yuncheng, and the news of the Lingshi explosion stayed in Yuncheng.

Therefore, the pursuit of the three religions that Lin Chuan had been on guard against did not happen.

And Xuan Jing also woke up after they entered Zhongzhou. The little monk actually sealed this short memory for a short time. He said that now he has no way to understand the cause and effect here, and he can only explain it when the Dharma is more profound. Open the seal.

Lu Qinqin and Ah Shuang have been like quails for the past two days. Their only "friend" Xuan Jing is sleeping in the carriage, and Lin Chuan and Liu Zheng, two "villains" are driving in front. Which sentence is wrong, and it will cause trouble for the upper body.

Only Xuan'er was the happiest. In order not to affect Xuan Jing, she had been by Lin Chuan's side for the past two days and absorbed a lot of killing intent. When Xuan Jing woke up, she was even depressed.

……

When we arrived at the border of Zhongzhou, the official road was significantly wider, and the further north we traveled, the more people there would be on the official road.

There are silent solo travelers, orderly caravans, and scholars who travel together, and several monks who are above the supernatural realm fly overhead from time to time.

Except for the monks of Xunmai who can fly in the air for a short time in the sea of ​​​​qi, those monks who can fly in the air for a long time all have the realm of or above the gods.

Unlike Youzhou, both sides of the official road here are full of fertile land. Lin Chuan even saw several Kunmai monks in the spiritual realm plowing the land with spells in the field...

The Great Qin Dynasty, whose development of material resources lagged behind, really made the best use of manpower.

Lin Chuan thought that becoming a monk would be an immortal seeker who "eat flowers in the morning and eat the clouds in the evening", but he didn't expect that after he became enlightened, he would still need to work in farming...

Xuan Jing, who was sitting in front of the car, had already seen the outline of Xuantian City from a distance, he wrinkled his nose, and said with some concern:
"Senior Brother, it seems that we are going to Xuantian City now, but Senior Sister Luo will also come to Pingluan Academy, the fragrance of flowers on your body..."

Lin Chuan's face, which was still full of interest just now, immediately collapsed. It has been two days. He thought the smell on his body would dissipate quickly, but Ling An searched every pore of him in the past two days. Couldn't find the source of the scent either.

It's midsummer now, so along the way, there are always butterflies or bees chasing Lin Chuan...

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. My junior sister is reasonable and will definitely give me a chance to explain... right?"

Seeing Lin Chuan's lack of confidence, Xuan Jing suppressed a smile and joked:

"Death... Liberation plus death?"

Lin Chuan didn't speak, but his eyes were blank, looking at the darkness and scattered a few bees.

The matter of attracting bees and butterflies has been settled...the case cannot be overturned.

Fortunately, this month-long trip has finally come to an end.

Xuantian City, we have arrived.
