I'm just a "little half fairy"

Yan Ting slowly closed Xu Mowen's "diary", unable to calm down for a long time.

The coffee on the table had long run out of heat, and the sunlight coming through the window had also changed its angle, shining on the further stairs.

Xu Mowen was reclining on the sofa, and fell asleep at some point, and the cat on his lap was also dozing with his eyes closed.

Everything here is so quiet and peaceful, and the scene from a thousand years ago that was still lingering in my mind just now gradually faded away in this atmosphere.

Xu Mowen seemed to feel his gaze, and slowly opened his eyes, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Finish?" He saw the closed book on Yan Ting's lap.

"Well, I've finished reading these." Yan Ting pointed to the few books bound with bamboo paper, she had a lot to ask in her heart, but she didn't know what to ask.

Xu Mowen nodded: "It's almost enough to read these, the rest is just some nonsense of mine, it doesn't matter if you read it or not."

However, Yan Ting still flipped through those recent notebooks, and indeed remembered that most of them were some longing words written by strangers.

"However, it seems that part of the content is missing." Yan Ting found that since he wrote that he left with Xu You's remnant soul, at least nearly 200 years of history were missing.

"There was nothing to see during that time." Xu Mowen said.

Yan Ting didn't ask any more questions, he opened the last notebook with kraft paper as the cover.

There are not many records in it, but Xu Mowen's excitement can be felt from it.

"In the third year of the Republic of China, the Jade Fate Knot changed again."

"In 1947, Yu Mingjie changed three times."

"In 1983, Jade Fate Knot changed more and more frequently, and the goal was getting closer and closer!"

……

"On the eve of the winter solstice in 1999, beg for success tomorrow!"

Yan Ting was at a loss for these concise records, but he knew that it must have a lot to do with him——wasn’t the winter solstice in 1999 just his birthday?

He raised his notebook: "Explain?"

Xu Mowen licked the cat and said, "Simple, the Jade Fate Knot is the secret of my eternal life, and it is also the main reason why your soul can be reincarnated after thousands of years."

Yan Ting understood, but he still needs to confirm: "That is to say, the jade knot they are all looking for has always been on you?"

"To be precise, it's on both of us."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ting checked herself quickly, from head to toe, but found nothing.

Xu Mowen smiled: "In this case, it is invisible, unless..."

"How?" Yan Ting was very curious.

Xu Mowen put the blessing on his lap on the sofa, stood up, and walked to Yan Ting's side.

The fat cat grudgingly "meowed", turned around and fell asleep on the sofa again.

"Stretch out your right hand."

Hearing Xu Mowen's request, Yan Ting obediently stretched out his right hand, and Xu Mowen pulled up his wrist, and pressed the inside of his own wrist to the inside of his wrist.

Just when Yan Ting was surprised what he was doing, Xu Mowen quietly moved his hand away.

"Look."

Yan Ting looked down, and there was a very light red mark on his wrist, and when he looked at Xu Mowen's wrist, there was also such a mark.

Just as he was about to observe carefully, the circle of marks disappeared.

"During the fire 1000 years ago, the jade knot was broken into two halves. I have been looking for a way to repair it. I thought that was the only way to reincarnate your soul." Xu Mowen sat down beside him , "But later I discovered that it turns out that there is not only the jade knot that can help me realize this wish."

He looked at Yan Ting: "Do you remember asking me why I knew you were at Qin Yuzhe's place?"

Yan Ting nodded, vaguely guessing something in her heart: "Could it be that the jade knot made the connection between the two of us?"

"Yes."

Xu Mowen touched his wrist and explained the cause and effect to him.

The more the soul is in a place with more people, the easier it is to be damaged, so after the fire, he hid in a cave with the broken jade knot and Xu You's remnant soul. He has been trying to restore the jade. Fate, but found that there was nothing he could do.

After many more days, he found that even in the darkened cave, Xu You's remnant soul was gradually becoming weak, and even had a tendency to disappear.It was at this time that he unexpectedly discovered that the two halves of the Jade Fate Knot were attracting each other. Although the attraction was negligible, he saw hope.

He thought of a way, that is to use the Jade Fate Knot to connect his soul with Xu You's soul, and use the power of the two halves of the Jade Fate Knot to attract each other and the supply of his own cultivation to keep Xu You's remnant soul alive .

During those days, Xu Mowen often hoped that Xu You's resentment before his death would be greater, which would make his soul more complete.

It's a pity that the silly boy seemed to think that sacrificing everything for the master was worth it, and he didn't have much resentment, so in the end Xu Mowen found some of his remnant souls after a lot of effort, and tried many methods to keep them.

After discovering the secret of the Jade Fate Knot, he began to try to restore Xu You's remnant soul, but it was not easy.He used talismans day after day, but he could only keep Xu You's remnant soul from disappearing with the passage of time.

In his free time, he began to record Xu You's past events, writing down all the details he could think of, for fear that the memory would be blurred if the time passed.

Time passed quickly, and Xu Mowen, accompanied by Xu You's remnant soul, spent one spring after another in the cave.

Maybe the sky has eyes, and after more than 200 years, a miracle appeared.

One winter solstice evening, Xu You's remnant soul moved by itself.

Since then, every time on Xu You's death day, the remnant soul seems to have some changes, sometimes it will move by itself, and sometimes it will even float into the air inexplicably, although most of the time it is only for a short moment, but it is also Xu Mowen was pleasantly surprised.

Every time it comes to the anniversary of his death, the resentment of the wronged soul will be extremely strong, and it turns out that Xu You is no exception!

It seems that he is not without nostalgia for this world.

In the past, every year when the winter solstice came, Xu Mowen would buy some wine from the market at the foot of the mountain. Later, he would not only buy wine, but also some vegetables to celebrate—the saddest moment of previous years turned out to be the most deserving of his joy. day.

Although the process is extremely slow, it can be seen that the remnant soul is becoming more complete little by little, until a winter solstice more than 100 years ago, with the activities of the almost completely restored remnant soul, the Jade Fate Knot unexpectedly changed .

He knew that the day he expected was not far away.

On the winter solstice of 1999, Xu Mowen knew that the time had come.

In front of him, Xu You's soul slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were dull, and his expression was very dull.

Xu Mowen knew that he should have lost consciousness at this moment, but seeing that familiar eye slowly open, his heart couldn't help but twitch.

That night, he performed the reincarnation ceremony for Xu You's soul. At the same time, in a small town thousands of miles away, a baby was born.

Yan Ting listened to his master in the previous life telling about his past and present life, and couldn't help feeling very strange.

"It turns out that my life experience is so rough..."

"Yeah," Xu Mowen looked at him, "but luckily you're back."

When he spoke, there was a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, as if he wanted to look at himself more carefully, and his face was getting closer and closer.

Just as Yan Ting was considering whether to back up, Xu Mowen stopped moving.

"Also, thank you for coming back."

At this moment, there seems to be a gust of wind blowing outside the window, the shadow of the tree cast by the sun on the floor swings back and forth slightly, and a light woody fragrance floats into the nose.

Yan Ting felt that the air around him was still. He stared uncontrollably at Xu Mowen's face that was close at hand, and could even clearly feel his breathing.

There is only one word in his mind to describe the current atmosphere - ambiguous!

bah bah bah!

Yan Ting forced herself to move her eyes away, and stammered to change the topic: "That... I still have a question to ask you..."

The smile in Xu Mowen's eyes deepened, he slowly moved away from Yan Ting's side, and said, "Well, let's ask."

Yan Ting quickly thought about the question she wanted to ask, and said after a while: "Why didn't you tell me your identity at the beginning?"

Xu Mowen curled his lips: "If I told you this when I first met you, would you believe it?"

Yan Ting thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Besides, I wanted to keep it from you." He turned his face sideways.

"Why? Didn't you finally let me... reincarnate Xu You's soul?"

Xu Mowen lowered his head slowly, and his tone was lower than before: "I get along with you in this capacity, I'm afraid it will only bring you more trouble."

"So in fact, you have been by my side since I was a child, and I didn't know it?"

"Before you were five years old, I have been observing you silently. At that time, I was glad that you could finally live a normal life like other children...I didn't expect that something went wrong."

"You mean, I saw that female ghost for the first time in kindergarten?"

"Well," Xu Mowen nodded, "It was only then that I realized that you may still not be able to escape your established fate."

Listening to his talk about fate, Yan Ting thought of one thing.

"I almost had an accident when I was seven years old, you should know it too?"

"I know, I was by your side at that time."

Yan Ting was surprised, he was beside her?

The tall and thin figure in the snow suddenly flashed in his mind—the figure that told him to run back and not look back, the goosebumps on his body almost rose.

"You don't know...you are the nobleman that grandpa said?"

Xu Mowen lowered his head and smiled: "My lord? Do you think so?"

"The one who saved my life is the nobleman..."

Xu Mowen raised his head and looked at Yan Ting: "Then you know that I selfishly reincarnated your soul and caused you to encounter so many dangerous things, do you still think that I am your noble person?"

Yan Ting was taken aback, and looked down at his wrist, which was the evidence that his soul was connected to Xu Mowen's soul.

He didn't know what kind of changes happened to Xu Mowen's state of mind after living alone for so many years, but he was sure that Xu Mowen really hoped that he could live well in this world.

But now, he attributed his actions to selfishness...

Yan Ting looked at the other party with a guilty and even fragile expression at the moment, and slowly pulled up his right hand.

When the two wrists are attached, they can clearly feel each other's beating pulse, and every beat is so clear and vivid.

Yan Ting gently put their hands upright, and at this moment, two red marks were wrapped around their wrists like threads of fate.

He looked into Xu Mowen's eyes seriously and sincerely: "I am very happy to experience this world again with my second life."
