Someone always hinders my strategy

On the second day after he came back, Wan Yan took a bottle of spirit wine and went to the Wenxin Pavilion. He knew that there was another person waiting for him there.

Looking at the old man sitting there as unkempt as the last time we met, Wan Yao saluted: "Elder."

The elder opened his eyes slightly, and smiled, "You're here."

Wan Yan smiled slightly when he heard the words, put the wine aside, and sat down on the floor: "Elder, you have been sitting here for so many years and didn't say anything. Why do you think that the younger generation is tight after you have only been gone for ten years?"

"Hey, glib, the little old man likes girls who are smooth and tender, how can you be such a rough guy!" He said and took the wine, and his actions were not polite at all.

Although Wan Yao didn't stop him, he said, "Elder, why didn't you take the initiative last time?"

"It's been ten years, you are allowed to change, and the old man is not allowed to change a bit?" He said and gave Wan Yao a meaningful look.

Wan Yan was a little embarrassed, and coughed: "Dare to ask the elder, what has changed in Qinghe?"

"When I saw you before, it seemed that my heart was dead, and my face was full of despair, but there seemed to be some hope that I could grasp in my heart." The elder glanced at him, took a sip of wine and continued, "Seeing you now, you look like a cloud. Feng Qing, with hope in your heart, but in fact, your heart is dead, your heart is dead, why are you still alive?"

Wan Yao choked, not knowing what to say, and felt that he was obstructing this space, not only here, but everywhere, and there was no place for him anywhere.

Finally, he sighed, and took out the Qianqiu lock from his neck: "He locked me here, how can I die casually?"

The elder glanced at him, and finally did not bring up the subject again: "Have you found the person I asked you to look for?"

"I haven't found anyone." Wan Yan glanced at the elder, intending to hurt each other, "I found her news."

The elder suddenly became a little excited: "What news?"

"died."

"...Dead?" The elder's eyes suddenly became blank, "I haven't gone looking for you yet, why did you die?"

"The spiritual energy in the mortal world is lacking. How long can a cultivator survive?" Wan Yao asked softly, "Why didn't you go find her?"

The elder seemed to be very emotional. Hearing his question, he slowly raised his hand and covered his face: "Looking for her? How dare I...how can I have the face to meet her..."

It took a long time before he calmed down, resisting the trembling in his words and said: "How has she been doing all these years?"

"Not good." Just two people said, the elder's heart ached.

He couldn't help scolding: "...you boy, don't you know how to say something nice?"

"Do you want to listen to something nice?" Wan Yan asked, "If you want to listen, the younger generation can make up a thousand or ten thousand ones for you, but is that what you want?"

"...You're right." The elder took a sip of his wine, "Tell me, what happened to her after she went to the mortal world. She has a cultivation base, so why is her life so bad?"

Wan Yan closed his eyes, and a story slowly flowed out of his mouth.

"Many years ago, on a summer night, a woman fell from the sky and fell into the palace. At that time, the emperor was young and hid from the palace people, but he met the woman who was astonishing as heaven. It was countless nights many years later, and the emperor would never forget it.

"Women don't talk about their birth, and the emperor gave them the name Today, which means the beauty of the world today, and it is a sign of peace and prosperity. For a while, this concubine is favored, and no one in the harem can compare to her. It's a place of marinating, but this concubine is different from ordinary people, and has suffered a lot, and has not conceived for many years.

"She is a kind-hearted person. When she saw a prince who was being bullied, she kept him by her side. When people asked her why, they only said that she couldn't bear his suffering. Only the maid who had been serving her knew that the prince was very much like today Concubine's old friend.

"Later Concubine Jin gave birth to a daughter, but she was taken away from the palace on the day of her birth. The daughter of a servant was secretly exchanged. She cried every night, but she could not exchange for her own daughter. It is the emperor's acquiescence.

"The emperor was induced by the national teacher to think that the concubine is a demon cultivator, so that she will suffer from the separation of flesh and blood, and when her spirit is weak, kill her with one blow."

"Fart!" The elder slapped the ground suddenly when he heard the words, stirring up countless dust. Fortunately, Wenxin Pavilion is located in a remote place, and no one comes here on weekdays, so it didn't attract much attention. "She is so good, how could she be a demon?" Xiu! Then the national teacher is the demon cultivator!"

Wan Yao nodded: "The national teacher is indeed a demon cultivator. This junior went to the mortal world this time, and saw that the national teacher confused the government. Many princes were punished because of him. After finding out that he was a demon cultivator, the junior cut him off with a sword." Kill him." He deliberately concealed the matter of Tianxuanzong and did not say anything, only the result, but he did not lie.

The elder didn't speak, and just drank on his own. For a moment, he seemed to be decades old again, with vicissitudes on his face, and finally closed his eyes, hiding all emotions: "You just said that today's people are old, but old I remembered my name."

Wan Yan was taken aback for a moment: "Could it be that the concubine's name wasn't given by the emperor?"

"I don't know." The elder opened his eyes, "The old man's surname is Wei, and his name is Jin'an. You don't have to call me Elder Elder anymore, just call me Old Wei."

"Old Wei." Wan Yan changed her address very politely, "I think that concubine Jin gave herself the name she has now, just to commemorate you."

"What a remembrance..." The elder looked at the endless void, full of regret in his heart, "She was waiting for me to find her. With this name, no one else can find her. Only me, only I can find her!"

He looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's my fault, it's my fault, why didn't I go to her?"

"Old Wei, she doesn't necessarily want you to go find her." Wan Yan said softly, and Wei Jin'an turned his head slightly, looking at Wan Yao's calm face, "The word now, what she thinks, maybe she hopes to live like you Generally comfortable, if you go to her, you will never be comfortable again."

"Although she hopes that someone can rescue her from the sea of ​​suffering, what she hopes more is that you can be safe, happy and free."

"Yes, you know this best." Wei Jin'an looked at Wan Yan and murmured, "Do you often comfort yourself like this?"

Wan Yan froze there for a moment when he heard the words.

"When the person you like sacrifices for you and dies for you, are you also thinking that this is what he hopes, as long as I am good, it is for his own good?" In an instant, Wei Jin'an's words became extremely harsh, "Originally, I thought you were a person of deep affection and nature, but I didn't expect you to be so selfish."

"Then what can I do? He's dead!" Wan Yan opened his eyes wide, as if to argue, "He's dead! I'm not alive, and if I don't work hard, he's really dead!"

"This is all your excuse, it's your excuse for living so far!"

"Yes, it's an excuse, but it's also the motivation for me to live." Wan Yao calmed down a little, and looked at Wei Jin'an with a serious expression he had never had before, "If I really let him die, everything will be gone , His death is also meaningless, but I live and live in shame, and one day, I can bring him back to life, I can protect him well, and prevent him from going through such painful things again."

His words were so forceful that Wei Jin'an lowered his head: "You are right." He covered his chest, "But what makes me sad the most is that you are right..."

Wei Jin'an's chaotic eyes looked into the distance, as if he was looking at that beautiful woman: "I am old, and the life span I have cultivated for many years has disappeared with the absurdity of those years. I can no longer say things like you .”

"I'm a coward. Everything you do and every word you say reminds me that I'm a coward who doesn't even dare to see the one I love!" A line of tears flowed from Wei Jin'an's eyes, " The old man said that you are selfish, how can you be selfless, you are just angry at your own incompetence."

Wan Yao looked at him, and sighed after a long time: "People are alive, what they want is a peace of mind. If you can't even let yourself go, who else can let you go? Old Wei, don't let the past be trapped again. own."

Wei Jin'an smiled wryly: "You're still talking about me, aren't you also trapped? Come on, let's take it as a help, you know about the drifting mirror, right?"

Seeing the point, Wan Yan immediately saluted and said, "This junior is here for this."

"Hmph, if there hadn't been the incident of wandering mirror, you wouldn't have come?" Wei Jin'an glanced at him, seeing that his expression was normal, feeling a little displeased in his heart, his ugliness just now had been seen by others.

Wan Yan bowed his head: "The junior dare not."

"I just don't dare..." Wei Jin'an sighed, and didn't go any further, "I can't remind you too much about the drifting mirror, I can only tell you the key words of the first two levels."

"Maze, deduction."

Wan Yao raised his eyebrows, the two words seemed few, but they told him very important news. Combining the strength and character he had learned before, he could almost guess the exam questions.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly saluted Wei Jin'an: "Thank you, Old Wei, for letting me know."

"Oh, the bento is the money for the wine, you go back and think about it." Then he waved his sleeve robe, as if to see off the guests.

Wan Yan didn't stay for long, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and went back to Yanghe Mountain.

Along the way, Wanjiao thought carefully, changed the list of refining items he had made, and went to Changfang City. This time, he was lucky, and all the new things were added. After returning with a full load, he announced the retreat .

Ying Qiushan looked at him so earnestly, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Three months have passed since Wan Yan's retreat. During these three months, most of the sects have formed teams. Although Fei Yi comforted her for a long time, she finally resolved the matter.

And although there is still some time before the opening of the wandering mirror, the Zongmen has to go a little earlier, and it will be time for the Zongmen's treasure ship to leave the Zongmen in a few days. Going around, but it's not easy to bother.

The days passed so quietly.
