Chapter 124: The Secret of the Twins
When Xiaobai turned the corner of Langhuan Pavilion, the black cat Ajin had transformed into a human form and was leaning against the corridor, as if waiting for him. He also walked up to him and sat on the railing without hesitation, looking relaxed.
"I haven't seen you for two hundred years. I thought you had ascended to godhood, but I didn't expect you to still be wandering around in the human world!"
Ah Jin was not angry when he heard this, instead his golden eyes looked calm.
"I thought you were a fox who would only harm women in the mortal world, but I didn't expect you to come to Xuanmen to do evil."
These words made Xiaobai stand up immediately.
"What do you mean by doing evil? I just couldn't see through it. Now that I see through it, isn't that why I came here to practice?"
Ajin looked at Xiaobai, the golden color in his eyes was dreamy and unpredictable.
"Are you here to practice cultivation or to cultivate your mind?"
As soon as he said this, Xiaobai immediately sat down in silence. He came here because of Lingxiang, and for Lingxiang, but he didn't expect that this old friend from a hundred years ago could see through him at a glance.
"Lingxiang is indeed a good girl, but she is not someone you can dream of. Even though she is safe and sound now, she had a very difficult life, and you cannot give her that only chance of survival."
Xiaobai was shocked when he heard this.
"What do you mean?!"
Ah Jin did not answer. He looked at the mountains in front of him and his thoughts went back to a while ago.
……
"Ah Jin." Mrs. Qiao was so weak lying on the bed that even the elixir given by Lingxiang could no longer help her to breathe.
Ajin looked at the gentle woman in front of him and stroked her forehead, as if she was still the girl with a pigtail from the Qiao family the day before.
"Ah Jin, thank you for taking care of me these years. I am not your destined one, so I cannot let you ascend to heaven. But I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart, grateful that you can still be so kind to others."
Mrs. Qiao coughed twice, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. Seeing this, Ah Jin hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it for her, but Mrs. Qiao turned her head away.
"It's too late. Just listen to me. Since I saw you when I was little, I have seen today and I know what will happen to you in the future. But the secrets of heaven are really unpredictable. What you are pursuing will come soon, but before that, I hope you can go to Jiuque Mountain to find him. He is a kind child. Besides my husband, I can't let him go the most."
"Although it was a close call in the end, as a mother, how could I bear to let my child suffer that kind of hardship? You must promise me that you will protect him and keep him safe." Mrs. Qiao looked at Ajin, her eyes full of pleading.
This is the girl he had watched grow up! But now she has ended up like this...
Although he had seen all kinds of life and death in the world over the past thousand years, he still couldn't take it lightly, especially since she was the most different.
She is the only person who understands him in thousands of years!
"Okay, I promise you!"
Ah Jin said it calmly, but who could have known that even after thousands of years of experience, his heart is still turbulent today.
It’s the woman in front of me who is about to lose her life!
"Don't be sad. Just think of me as one of the people you met. God has arranged this for a reason."
Mrs. Qiao coughed twice as she spoke, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth. The red blood dripped onto the pillow, one drop... two drops... It was as smudged as ink, but it was as sharp as needles, piercing his heart and causing pain.
But even he couldn't save her!
"Miss Lingxiang is a good girl. You will be blessed by heaven in the future mostly because of her. But she has a miserable life and many disasters. Fortunately, she is protected by Xinsu. But soon Kangsu will come to look for her. I think you recognize him. You must remind her more at that time, so as not to hinder others from finding love, so as to protect her... If..."
Mrs. Qiao stopped talking before she finished speaking and just stared at the ceiling of the tent. The tent was her dowry when she got married, and on the ceiling was wisteria embroidered by her own hands.
"In my life, I have known people and their fates, and I have seen through all the mysteries of heaven. It is not a wasted life..."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and never opened them again.
...Master Donghui really didn't like to get involved in trivial matters, but the recent repeated attacks by Bai Wuchang did make him a little angry. He still remembered the disaster many years ago, and his hatred for the demons was no less than that of his fellow disciples. Therefore, most of the discussions about the sect's affairs in recent days were related to the demons, and Master Donghui was never absent.
After riding the wind for a while, I returned to the door of Langhuan Pavilion, only to see Muchen lying on the table with his butt sticking up, not knowing what he was doing.
This little rascal has been playing here for a while and really needs a beating.
"Ahem!" Master Donghui cleared his throat, "Tong'er, why are you standing there instead of guarding the library?"
Muchen was enjoying his meal when he didn't expect his master to come back suddenly. He turned around in a hurry, his mouth blocked and his answers were all sobbing.
Looking at Mu Chen in front of him, whose mouth was still dripping with tears, Master Donghui felt helpless. However, when he saw the fruit plate behind him, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Although the fruit plate was extremely delicate, it was filled with...
It is surrounded by the aura of demons!
……
There were indeed many books in the pavilion, including countless magical techniques, talismans, arrays, and theories, and even many books on the techniques of many rare weapons. Xinyi and his party wandered around for a long time and actually found many books similar to their own techniques.
He was a little confused and asked Lingxiang, but Lingxiang rolled her eyes at him.
"Speaking of which, Taoism was originally one, but after a long time and many twists and turns, it was divided into many schools. There are countless schools that have combined various skills to form their own schools, but in general, aren't they still the original things? The saying "Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and then three gave birth to all things" proves this statement."
"Take your Long, Lu, and Qiao families for example. Weren't they one and the same a long time ago? What's so strange about this?"
Lingxiang said as she slid down a ladder and handed the selected book to Rendong.
When Honeysuckle looked down, it turned out to be "The Art of Runes" and "The Secret of the Five Elements".
"This... didn't you say you wanted to teach me the Fan Technique? Why did you ask me to read the Talisman Technique and the Five Elements Technique?"
"I have my reasons. Just look carefully and see who is the master, am I or are you?" Lingxiang said as she climbed up another ladder.
This time he climbed a little higher and was rummaging through a bookshelf, muttering to himself, "I remember it was here."
At this time, there was a rolling sound, and Long Qi was seen setting up another ladder and flying to Lingxiang.
Long Qi originally wanted to suddenly appear to scare Ling Xiang. If she was unstable, he could save her, but...
But Lingxiang was indifferent and just kept searching without any intention of paying any attention to him.
Long Qi felt lost for a moment. He picked up a book out of boredom and flipped through it randomly, glancing at Lingxiang from time to time.
"What are you looking for?"
Lingxiang turned the pages attentively, and without looking up, she answered, "The music score. I remembered it was here, but I can't find it."
Long Qi felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. Why was this spiritual fragrance so depressing? He was bored and looking at the book in his hand, but he saw the words "Twin Di Jue" written on the page in his hand.
"Huh? This spell's name is interesting."
Lingxiang turned her head when she heard that, but her eyes flashed.
"It seems good, but if you are not deeply in love, you will not be able to use such magic."
Long Qi was very confused when he heard this. He looked down and his face sank.
If it were him, he would definitely not use it...
