Brother, why is he like this?

Ye Tan felt a palpitation for no reason.

In the main hall at the center of the Ancient Mirror Sect, the headmaster who is used to enjoying honor is smiling in awe and flattery at this moment. On the left, he said: "Your Majesty is coming, my Ancient Mirror Sect is full of glory"; Thank you so much for being so kind.”

The face of the Venerable in white in front of him was cold, and his strong and piercing aura carried a full sense of oppression, making people afraid to approach him.The head of Gu Jing had no choice but to set himself ten feet away and keep the distance.

He carefully looked at the expression of the Nascent Soul Venerable, and asked, "Dare to ask the Venerable, is the demon still here?"

Ye Tan closed his eyes, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, released his consciousness to cover the entire Ancient Mirror School, and shook his head after a while.

Can't tell if it's disappointment or what.

He searched hard for five years, but there was no news of his senior brother.A few days ago, Liu Ling, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly moved. Ye Tan was suddenly happy and sad, and followed the direction to a nearby town, but lost his direction again.

Just at this time, a person who claimed to be the head of the Gujing School asked for an interview, saying that an elder in the school was killed by the demons, and asked Ye Tan to get rid of the demons.If it was before, Ye Tan wouldn't have paid any attention to it, but just when Liu Ling made a movement, it happened near the boundary wall again, so he took a look at it with a glimmer of hope.

Sure enough, there is no breath of senior brother.

Seeing this, the head of Gu Jing wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but was disappointed again.Naturally, he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief because since the perpetrator was no longer here, his life was temporarily safe.But on another thought, the man escaped but he didn't die, what if he came back again?It is impossible for Ye Tan to stay in the Ancient Mirror School all the time, right?

Sure enough, Ye Tan's next sentence was expressionless: "In that case, I will take my leave."

"Wait! Wait!" Gu Jing's head turned his mind, and really thought of a way for him.He said brazenly: "I have an ancient mirror called the Mirror of Thoughts and Things. It is the treasure of the town school, and it can be used to fetch things from the air. I would like to dedicate it to the venerable, and I ask the venerable to stay for a few more days .”

Ye Tan glanced at the head of Gu Jing indifferently, and kept walking.

The Ancient Mirror Sect was originally one of the top sects on the Lingxu Continent, with countless treasures in their hands.It's just that for thousands of years, one generation is not as good as the next generation, the talents in the sect withered, many treasures disappeared, and the only thing left is this ancient mirror that can't be put on the table.To put it nicely, it's called "taking things from a distance", but to put it badly, isn't it just "stealing".

It's hard for the head of Gu Jing to say so.

He was swept away by the ice-cold white pupils, and immediately shivered.The head of the sect didn't dare to make mistakes, and added with trepidation: "Thousands of years ago, when Lingxu Continent's aura was still strong, the predecessors could directly open the mirror to pick up the object by urging the spell. look, this object will appear in the mirror, even if it is thousands of miles away, it can be taken from the mirror.”

"I'm afraid it's difficult to get things through the mirror now, maybe you can try to find people."

He didn't know where he heard it, saying that Ye Tan was looking for his senior brother Shen Lingyuan who disappeared five years ago.

Sure enough, Ye Tan paused and turned to look at him.

The head of Gu Jing saw that there was something going on, and hurriedly asked his disciples to fetch Gu Jing.

The two disciples responded.

The two came to the warehouse and found an ancient wooden box with ashes in the corner.Disciple A blew away the dust, coughed twice, wiped the surface of the box with his sleeve, and opened the wooden box.

A bronze mirror as tall as a person lay in it, and there was nothing strange about it.

"Tell me, why is the Venerable interested in this thing?" Disciple B was puzzled.

"Didn't the head tell you? You can open the mirror to get something. Maybe the venerable has something he wants to find."

Disciple B laughed and said, "It's so miraculous. How could this mirror be eating ashes in the warehouse? I heard that this thing is not reliable at all. Nine out of ten times it doesn't work."

"This...what if His Holiness finds out and blames us?"

"Shhh—let's see what the master has to say."

While talking, the two arrived in front of the hall.

Disciple A handed his wish to the master, and the master presented it to Ye Tan with both hands.

Ye Tan glanced at the wooden box, his eyelashes drooped and he couldn't see the emotions inside, so he whispered: "Thank you."

Seeing this, the master was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked his disciples to prepare a good room for Ye Tan, and sent the precious mirror over.

……

Shen Lingyuan pushed open the bamboo door and took a deep breath of the mist in the mountains.

The fragrance of green grass came to the nostrils, and Shen Lingyuan seemed to be in the Cangxiao Peak where the vegetation was in full bloom, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's been five years, is Ye Tan still going to Cangxiao Peak?Are those plants withered?How has he been doing in the past five years?

The image of Ye Tan's young figure standing alone in the empty martial arts field flashed by, and Shen Lingyuan sighed indiscernibly.

Under Ji Shaoyan's meticulous care, Shen Lingyuan was able to walk slowly by himself.He was still weak, so he didn't go far, he just walked forward with the trunk of the tree, in order to recover as soon as possible.

Shen Lingyuan was tired from walking, and stopped beside a tree, wiping the sweat off his brow.

Suddenly, he moved.

It's unusually quiet here.

The forest is deep and quiet. Before, there were a few sounds of birds and insects from time to time, but now it is completely silent.It felt like he had returned to the underground palace of the Demon Realm, everything was silent, as if there were no living things.

The canopy above his head cast a shadow, and Shen Lingyuan stood quietly without moving.

It seemed that someone was peeping nearby.

He has no spiritual power, and his five senses are far less sharp than before, but he has an amazing insight into danger.An ominous atmosphere enveloped him, reminding him of the scene when he saw Ye Tan for the first time nine years ago.

He looked around calmly, and his eyes were attracted by a small flower.

It was a blood-red orchid, swaying gently in the wind, so delicate that it seemed as if it would fall if the wind blows.

Blood orchid!

Shen Lingyuan suddenly opened his eyes wide.Reminiscent of what Ji Shaoyan said about the demons hurting people, a terrible thought came to mind.

The demons hadn't gone far, but hid in the nearby forest, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Footsteps came from behind.

Shen Lingyuan suddenly turned around.

But I could hear someone shouting: "Young Master Zhang——"

It's Ji Shaoyan.

At the same time, the feeling of being watched disappeared.

Ji Shaoyan hurried over and said, "Master Zhang, why are you here?"

Shen Lingyuan was dressed upright in a green shirt, with a warm smile and elegant conversation, just like a son of a family who didn't know the sufferings of the world.For some unexplainable reason, Ji Shaoyan didn't dare to call Shen Lingyuan by his name directly, so he called him "Young Master" politely.

Shen Lingyuan pretended to be a mortal, so she acquiesced in this title.

"I'm going out for a walk."

Ji Shaoyan patted his chest, "I was shocked when I couldn't find you. There are wild beasts in the mountains. I'm afraid it's not right for you to come out alone. I'll accompany you in the future."

Shen Lingyuan smiled gently: "I dare not bother the immortal master."

Ji Shaoyan waved his hands again and again: "No trouble, no trouble."

The two walked back while talking, and gradually there was a noisy sound in the forest again.Ji Shaoyan obviously didn't notice the abnormality just now, Shen Lingyuan's face remained calm, and he was thinking about how to remind Ji Shaoyan's demons to hide nearby and not expose himself.

Back at the bamboo house, Ji Shaoyan brought food and ate at the same table with Shen Lingyuan, chattering about how powerful the treasure mirror was to the venerable master who had given him the treasure mirror that claimed to be able to make wishes come true , whatever you think in your heart, the mirror will fetch it.

Shen Lingyuan listened with a smile.

Under his gentle gaze, Ji Shaoyan's heartbeat was abnormally fast, and he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhang, why don't you join the Ancient Mirror Sect and practice with us."

Shen Lingyuan was stunned, frowned and said, "I'm not suitable..."

Ji Shaoyan was discouraged, and he thought about it too, there are so many delicious and fun things in the world, Shen Lingyuan would definitely not want to stay in this deep mountain.And maybe I'm tired of staying for the past few days, so I will run out.

"Then do you want to go home? You have been away for a few days, and the family is in a hurry, right?"

Seeing that Shen Lingyuan's movements stopped, he hurriedly said: "I don't...I don't want to drive you away, I just want you to stay."

His voice was getting lower and lower, and the last words were barely audible.

But Shen Lingyuan didn't listen to what he said at this time.

His family?

He is afraid that Jianzong will not be able to go back.

As for Moyu... He was against Moyu in his heart, but when he thought of Ruan Yeming, he felt that he couldn't leave him like this.

He was thinking quietly, Ji Shaoyan didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak again, and the two finished the meal in silence.

After dinner, Ji Shaoyan talked with Shen Lingyuan for a while, and told him not to go out at night, and then reluctantly returned to the sect.

As night fell, everything was silent.A solitary moon hangs in the dark blue sky, quietly watching the world, neither happy nor sad.

Ye Tan stood by the window, rubbing the precious mirror that said all wishes come true, with complicated thoughts.

Perhaps, this time is also an empty joy.

"I heard that this thing is not reliable at all. Nine out of ten times it doesn't work." The conversation between the two disciples of the ancient mirror during the day fell into his ears verbatim.

However, even if there is only one ten-thousandth hope, he still has to try.

Ye Tan closed her eyes, put her hands on the mirror, and moved slowly.

A bright white light flashed and was printed in the mirror, causing circles of ripples to appear on the mirror.As Ye Tan continued to mobilize his spiritual power, the white light became more and more dazzling, the whole room was as bright as day, and even the moonlight outside the window dimmed a bit.

The ripples became bigger and bigger, and the mirror trembled slightly, as if something was about to jump out of the mirror.

Ye Tan's breathing stagnated, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he held his breath and continued to send spiritual power into the mirror.

The earth and the mountains trembled, and the aura on Mianshan was unprecedentedly abundant.All of a sudden, the vegetation on the entire mountain was washed by this aura and began to grow wildly.The vegetation covered the sky and the sun.

The people of the Ancient Mirror School were all attracted by this vision, and they poked their heads to look.

However, the ripples on the mirror stopped suddenly in the next moment, and returned to its original appearance, as if nothing had happened.

Failed.

Ye Tan closed her eyes in pain, hiding the red mist rising from her eyes.

In a trance, he saw the senior brother formed by the red mist standing opposite him, watching him tenderly.

"Brother..."

He murmured in a low voice, reaching out his hand to catch the mirror-like scene.
