But Shixiong Doesn’t Want To Be A Villain! - Chapter 48
Hearing this name, Bai Fanlu’s heartbeat still inevitably stagnated for a moment.
Then he laughed at himself and laughed bitterly. Is it to be thankful that Yun Zhan still has a bit of humanity, and didn’t say that he just threw himself somewhere and waited for someone to find him?
But this way he was relieved, after all, he wouldn’t be seen disheveled by other people again.
So, their business…no one should know.
“After Yun Zhan sent you back, he resigned from Master, and now… is no longer at the Tianshu Gate.”
Bai Fanlu was still entangled to death, when he heard this, he was shocked and forgot what he was entangled with, Yun Zhan? That Yun Zhan? He left the Tianshu Gate? How can this be?
At this time, Bai Fanlu realized that if Yun Zhan had already forced his demon blood to awaken according to the original work, he would have to make everyone know that he could not gain a foothold in the immortal world and could only return to the demon world, right? How could it be sent back to him silently like this?
This plot development…is wrong again, and the deviation is a bit outrageous.
“I also found it incredible, but the respected master naturally didn’t agree to him, but he couldn’t keep it, so he was allowed to go down the mountain, saying that it was for him to think clearly.”
“…This, this, then he…” Bai Fanlu calmed down the stormy waves in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “has he changed back to his original appearance?”
Wang Chongyu shook his head, “No.”
no…?
Bai Fanlu didn’t know what was going on either, his heart seemed to sink again and again, and then again and again, and that face reappeared in his mind involuntarily following these two words.
He was taken aback for a moment, and he just wanted to slap himself twice, and came back in such embarrassment. Isn’t it enough for him to regret it and learn from the pain? Still thinking about that bastard?
Forcing himself to stabilize his mind, Bai Fanlu warned himself that if you want to really overcome a thing, you must first learn to face it. Avoiding is always the most useless, and you can’t avoid it.
Secretly breathing, Bai Fanlu asked as calmly as possible, “Why can’t he come back?”
Since Yun Zhan had returned to the Tianshu Gate himself, when Ling Qingzi saw him change his appearance, he would definitely ask him what happened. He couldn’t make sense without explaining.
Sure enough, Wang Chongyu replied, “I was there when he talked to Master. He said…he used ‘not dust’.”
“…Not dust?”
People are in the dust, not the dust. This is the name of an ancient mirror.
This mirror is mentioned in the novel when Yun Zhan was still young when the original bishop read the history of immortals and identified various famous artifacts in the classics. Among them, “not dust” was specifically mentioned.
Because the name was too special, Xiao Yunzhan curiously asked the original owner about the function and origin of the mirror, so Bai Fanlu happened to know this thing.
According to legend, “not dust” was created by the creation of God in a grain of sand and dust at the beginning of the ancient times. As long as a person is facing this ancient mirror and conceiving an image in his mind, it can create a mirror image based on it, but at the same time, the person who is looking in the mirror will temporarily disappear.
But the created mirror image has no thoughts, just a puppet. For the behavior of this puppet, the creator has two choices. One is to use it as a dummy with no sense of true feelings, and give it instructions to manipulate it all to follow suit. This is also the easiest way to do it.
The other is much more complicated, that is, the person who creates the mirror image integrates his own consciousness with the mirror image, so that the thoughts and feelings of the mirror image will be in harmony with the creator, equivalent to the same person.
There is just a shortcoming. Mirror cannot inherit any spiritual power and mana of the creator, which means that the creator will temporarily become an ordinary person. Mana that cannot be inherited needs to be temporarily placed in a “container”, and as long as it is a living thing, it can be used as a “container”.
At the same time, if the creator’s ability to control consciousness is strong enough, he can use mana as bait to transfer between the mirror and the “container” at will, and even manipulate the “container” to act for himself.
But because the “container” is a third party with independent thinking, this method has two risks.
The first risk is that during the limited time that the mirror image exists, the creator must never use the cultivation base to cast spells. If the creator breaks this taboo, he needs to break through the “container” forcibly and temporarily appear in the form of the body.
But this can only last for a very short time, after which the body will be backlashed by the mirror image, and the mirror image has completely become a real existence that possesses both personality and mana.
And this also means that the body will disappear from reality, and at the same time, the mana will be absorbed by “not dust”, and the serious ones will even disappear.
However, whether it is the “lifelike” degree of the mirror image or the final result of being backlashed, it depends on the creator’s own willpower.
“What about the second risk?”
When this was mentioned in the novel, Yun Zhan asked when he was young.
At that time, the original owner read the ancient books carefully, and only one word “remember” appeared on the weathered residual pages.
He shook his head, “I can’t see clearly.”
Therefore, Bai Fanlu has no way of knowing the second risk of “not dust”, but at this point, he understands why Yun Zhan said he “cannot change back”.
Because he was backlashed by the mirror image he created, and the opportunity of backlash, Bai Fanlu recalled a bit. Before the “container” Zhizhi lost that divine light, he was attacked at the Yingzhou City Lord’s Mansion, and then escaped miraculously…
It turned out that it was not a mistake.
So Yun Zhan is trying to save himself at such a big price?
Bai Fanlu shook his head. How could he understand that? Of course Yun Zhan wouldn’t do it for himself. He was just trying to get rid of the enemy. After all, if the enemy is not removed, his “container” is also dangerous.
However, it is not clearly stated in ancient books that if the “container” dies, what are the consequences? Perhaps this is the second risk? Or maybe there will be no risk, just another “container”.
But no matter what, Bai Fanlu wanted to understand that Yun Zhan had to do that for himself, and it was definitely not for him.
And when he thought this way, he had actually deliberately ignored one thing, Yun Zhan didn’t need to take such a big risk from the beginning.
Although the fairy clan is different from the demon clan and is not good at disguise or puppet tricks, if he wants to play with himself, he can directly create a mirror dummy, so why bother to put in his true feelings?
But Bai Fanlu didn’t even want to touch this question, let alone think deeply about it.
He recalled this “not dust” so meticulously, just trying to figure out why Yun Zhan has not returned. He needs to do a good job of psychological construction. If he meets Yun Zhan again in the future, will he have to face that face? .
But don’t worry about it now. Yun Zhan left as soon as he came back. It has been three days since Wang Chongyu followed Ling Qingzi to the League of Nations yesterday.
That fake Wu Yueshuang disappeared inexplicably at Qingyang Gate. The real Wu Yueshuang neither returned to the Immortal Realm nor sent anyone to join the Union League, and Chengying Gate was destroyed. In the end, only six of the four mountains and eight gates were present.
And just as Bai Fanlu expected, he had a “conspiracy and devil” incident, and there was a lot of rumors outside. Some immortals questioned his identity, but Ling Qingzi severely slapped him in the face.
The position of the head of the Tianshumen righteous way is not for nothing. The “First Immortal Venerable” has spoken out to protect it, and when the immortal world is united against the enemy, no one will object to it.
Even if the heads of the two immortals were older, they would have to be polite to Ling Qingzi by three points. It’s just that there must be a “fly” like today, still buzzing underneath, making a little wind and waves.
Of course, Bai Fanlu feels ashamed for the maintenance of the master and the other siblings, because he is indeed a demon. Although he does not know what method Ling Qingzi used, he seems to have no demon energy in his body now, but this fact has changed. No more.
However, Wang Chongyu only had two sentences to express his attitude towards this matter.
“Brother, Master wants to protect you, and we will not hesitate to protect you to the end.”
“No matter what your status is, you are just my senior brother with me.”
I didn’t say anything clearly, but I told Bai Fanlu that he and Ling Qingzi already knew that he was a demon.
Even though Bai Fanlu’s position was so subtle, Wang Chongyu even told him the conclusion of the final alliance.
Because mortals are constantly polluted by the fissures of devil qi and fall into the devil’s way, they wantonly misfortune, and there is no effective way to purify them. In order to prevent more innocent people from being killed, all immortal gates are making preparations, and will do their best to seal the fissures of demonic energy in various places, clear out the fallen demons, and find the “withering pavilion” at the entrance of the magic capital.
Bai Fanlu knew about the “Withered Pavilion”, but that place was changing all the time, and Bai Junming set the blindfold method. In the original work, Yun Zhan solved the blindfold method before starting the final battle.
In addition, the original owner lost consciousness after he became black, and the novel did not clearly describe how he came and went to the Demon Realm. Even if Bai Fanlu wanted to help the fairy clan leapfrog directly to the demon clan’s lair, he couldn’t do anything about it.
And Wang Chongyu dared to tell him the plan of the Four Mountains Alliance, probably because he knew he had the blood of the demon clan, but he didn’t know that he was actually the young master of the demon world.
But it was indeed just a name, except for Bai Junming and Mowei Tingnu, the Demon Realm didn’t even know that there was a person like him.
Because the original owner had never been in the Demon Realm before, the novel says that when Ling Qingzi found him, he was just over a year old and was a child picked up by a human couple.
After that, the original owner was accepted as an apprentice by Ling Qingzi, and it was considered that it was really that he had brought it up. If you know the degree of understanding of the original owner, I am afraid that no one in the world can match it.
In fact, when Bai Fanlu read the book, he felt that Ling Qingzi might have discovered that the original owner had devil blood. With his cultivation base, and the five hundred years of getting along with the original owner, if he didn’t know it at all, it couldn’t be justified.
Thinking that he didn’t even say hello, he came out of Sanmuju, Bai Fanlu decided to go back to Ling Qingzi.
Along the way, they met two juniors from the Tianshu Sect and bowed their hands when they saw him. After they were far away, the two looked back at Bai Fan Road and talked in a low voice.
“I think the big brother’s appearance has changed, um, how do you put it, it seems to be more…better-looking.”
“Big brother is pretty good-looking at first, I heard that there was a’first beauty in the Three Realms’ in our Tianshu Gate before, I haven’t seen it, but I think the big brother is definitely better than him.”
“Hey, if I can be a Taoist couple with Big Brother…”
“What are you thinking about? Senior Brother and Master Master are Taoists.”
Bai Fanlu’s hearing is very good. Hearing these words, the gossip in his heart is boring and terrifying, so it is better to leave quickly.
But very quickly, he couldn’t help slowing down…
“I’m just sighing a few words. How can I really fight with the master-in-chief… But to put it again, the master-in-law has become infatuated. In order to get through the meridians for him, the master-in-chief just saw it… hey, you met the master-in-law that day Does he look like? It’s not just a matter of disguise, how do I think he…seems very serious…”
“That’s why this is a righteous act, and I have to admire it. If you can do it, you can also be a Taoist buddy with a big brother.”
“Uh, if that’s the case, I’ll forget it…”
…What’s the meaning? Yun Zhan him?
Bai Fanlu wanted to turn his head to ask, hesitate to give up.
No matter what he is, it has nothing to do with him, right? If there is anything, he asked for it.
Bai Fanlu flicked his sleeves, no longer wandering, simply flew up on the clouds and left those annoying remarks behind him, without thinking about it anymore.
When he got Sanmuju, Ling Qingzi was sitting in front of the case and observing a chess game intently. White and Heizi were inextricably killed, but there was no one on the other side of the chess game.
Bai Fanlu didn’t disturb him, so he stood by.
After he wore the book, except when he only woke up, he only entered Sanmuju once. At that time, he was still wondering how…how to draw a line with Yunzhan, but he was packed and thrown down the mountain.
It’s a sigh that good luck makes people want to avoid it. I knew this situation today. I should have acted generously with Yun Zhan in the first place.
Bai Fanlu laughed at himself, raised his eyes and looked at the room where Master lives, Sanmuju.
It’s bigger than his room, because there is a wooden shelf with a lot of books on it. This is the place where the original owner and young Yun Zhan often touched in and read books.
And in front of the bookshelf, there is a long tang-wood table, on which a paperweight is pressed against an unfinished character. The sloppy running script is upside down, and Bai Fanlu can’t see what the character is.
The ink block on the side of the inkstone has been polished in half, and the dark ink in the inkstone is still moist, reflecting the dim light from the corner of the window.
Huh? It doesn’t seem to be the light from the window…
Bai Fanlu glanced intently. It turned out to be the faint light from a rosette-shaped sapphire incense burner next to the wall.
Why is there light in the incense burner?
The light source was very weak, with a thin layer of sapphire, and it seemed to jump slightly in his eyes, Bai Fanlu flashed a flower, blinked vigorously, and wanted to take a closer look.
“Mo Er? Come here as a teacher.”
Bai Fanlu returned to his senses, and Yiyan walked towards Ling Qingzi.
But the picture I saw vaguely just flashed back in my mind, why did it seem that two phantom figures appeared in front of the table? Is it his illusion?
“Let’s take a look at this chess game for the teacher. Does Heizi still have a chance to win?”
Ling Qingzi asked, Bai Fanlu condensed his thoughts and sat down opposite him.
In fact, he only knows a little Go, and he hasn’t learned it specifically, so at first he just thought of looking at it casually.
He stared at the film of Baizi for a long time, and suddenly his eyes locked in a position.
Ling Qingzi paid attention to his look, holding Heizi in his hand, and asked, “Here?”
“Try it,” Bai Fanlu nodded.
Ling Qingzi dropped the sunspot at the sign, after a little thought, Baizi followed immediately.
After that, it seemed to be completely connected. Wherever Bai Fanlu thought of, the black piece could land, until the last step was “sticky”, the black chess piece joined together, successfully passed through, and reversed the defeat.
Bai Fanlu took a long sigh of relief, feeling like going through a great battle, but he didn’t expect it to succeed.
Does he even have a talent for chess? I didn’t think it before. It seems worth digging after going back.
“So happy?”
Ling Qingzi asked him, the stretched eyebrows are rare gentleness, which is like a spring breeze.
Bai Fanlu felt more and more that it was really right to want to come back and play chess with Master before. After playing this game, he felt like he was completely new.
Ling Qingzi looked at the chess game again, and said in deep thought, “This move is very powerful, you can call it…”
“A salary is drawn from the bottom of the pot.”
Bai Fanlu blurted out somehow, blushing after speaking, how dare he interrupt Master’s words?
Ling Qingzi didn’t mean to blame at all. Instead, she slightly curled her lips and smiled faintly.
Bai Fanlu smiled embarrassedly, feeling that he was really a gangster, but the master treated him so kindly, and recalled that every time he was injured since the book was written, he always accompanied him and healed him wherever the master was. Speaking to him seemingly indifferent but caring…
Bai Fanlu felt ashamed in his heart, and wanted to confess to Ling Qingzi that he was not the original owner, but he couldn’t bear it anymore.
Whether it is selfish, he has not much time left in this world. When he leaves, the original owner will come back, right?
So, can he cherish it carefully?
As he had thought before, not blackening, not dying, that is, the only thing he can do for Ling Qingzi, for those who care about and protect the original owner, is also the most meaningful thing that can be done in this world.
No longer just to go back, even for the firm belief that he has now, he must not be addicted to love and love, and continue to sink.
Bai Fanlu was full of strength and energy in an instant, but now, there is only one thing to confirm.
“Master, disciple… I want to ask you a question.” He mustered his courage.
Ling Qingzi nodded, “You said.”
“Why did you choose to accept me as an apprentice back then?”
Even Wu Yueshuang said that Ling Qingzi would not accept disciples, not to mention disciples with devil blood.
For this question, Ling Qingzi only smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, he slightly raised his right hand towards Bai Fanlu. There was a strand of silver hair on his shoulder. As he moved, it slid down behind him, winding down on the bamboo mat he was sitting on. .
Bai Fanlu only noticed that there was a faint red touch in the silver hair tangled on the bamboo mat, like something like a ribbon.
“Mo Er, come here.”
Bai Fanlu retracted his gaze, stood up halfway around the chessboard, and walked to Ling Qingzi on his knees.
Ling Qingzi raised his hand and stroked Bai Fanlu’s forehead.
Bai Fanlu couldn’t see anything, only that his fingertips touched the center of his brows, and a cool feeling faintly emerged.
Then, the air flow drifted into the nose with the fragrance…
It’s my own devil! Bai Fanlu widened his eyes in surprise.
In a position where he could not see, Ling Qingzi stroked the area with his fingers, and the purple mark on the eyebrows was looming, but only for a moment, it was covered by a transparent ice ribbon, the spiritual light flashed, and the eyebrows returned to a smooth and clean.
The devilish energy also disappeared.
Ling Qingzi’s hand fell suddenly, covering Bai Fanlu’s eyes.
In the blur, Bai Fanlu felt a gentle touch on his forehead, unable to distinguish what it was, Ling Qingzi’s voice came from nearby.
He said, “Because of you, it’s my Moer.”
The author has something to say: Bai Xiaolu: I ignited my fighting spirit!
Yungouzhan: Brother v5!
Author: Hey, your brother is going to abandon you. If you don’t have a little love with you, are you still v5?
Chaos into the masses: That is, Siha, or Master Xiang…
Yungouzhan: You guys…what’s your forehead? I’ve already…huh! I will let you know what the fragrance is, just wait and see!
