Chapter 86
The sea breeze was very strong at night, making the trees on the island tremble all the time. Everyone put up a protective screen to block the wind. After Yue Ming and several disciples punished the fellow disciple who had just laughed to death, everyone laughed at themselves and sat lazily, supporting themselves with their hands on the ground.
In such a relaxed state, a disciple glanced at Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan again and again, and finally boldly picked Xiao Mo, who seemed easy to talk to, and asked shyly but boldly: "Mo Lan, how did you get to know Junior Uncle-Master? Can you tell us about it?"
Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan looked over at the same time.
The disciple was scratching his head, feeling very embarrassed: "I want to spend my life with someone, but it seems that the relationship between us sword cultivators is really hard to control. So, I just want to learn from someone."
How did he and Chu Jinglan know each other... She suddenly appeared out of nowhere and became his inner demon.
Xiao Mo: "The story of how we met probably won't be of any help to you."
That's right. They were both aliens in their previous life and this life. Moreover, they were a fake couple and real friends. They were not in love at all. Wouldn't it be misleading to teach them their experiences?
Someone nearby came up with sparkling eyes and asked, "Is it true as the rumors say? We first met when we were very young, and when Junior-Master's dantian...dantian was injured, you stayed by his side?"
Some of the disciples nearby also secretly turned their ears over, both men and women, which shows that everyone loves to listen to gossip.
It is true that he never left Chu Jinglan when his Dantian was destroyed, but it doesn't sound right to say it now, so Xiao Mo chose a tricky way of saying it: "We have walked a rather bumpy road together."
The people next to him whispered: "Wow!"
An expression that says, "There's more. We need to continue listening to the story."
Xiao Mo choked up at their looks: Everyone, I wanted to end this topic with that sentence just now?
Yue Ming pushed a disciple who came up to listen to the excitement but happened to be closer to him away, saying disdainfully: "Don't drag sword cultivators into this. They say sword cultivators are prone to making mistakes, but I think many romantic people are also sword cultivators. Look for your own problems!"
Compared to the changes in appearance of others, the pronunciation of Yueming can really bring new fun at any time. However, this time it did not divert the attention of others, and everyone was still waiting for Xiao Mo to continue!
Xiao Mo stroked the flute, thinking about how to fool, oh no, how to get away with it, Chu Jinglan, who basically did not participate in the conversation, actually spoke to the disciple who had just asked the question.
"If you have someone in your heart, you don't need to ask others about their experiences, but you can learn from others to understand what your loved one likes and dislikes, and make him happy."
Chu Jinglan successfully drew all eyes to himself. Amidst the various looks from the crowd, his expression remained calm, without any fluctuation.
You can learn from the harmonious couple around you, or learn from the story-telling novels.
The other disciples all felt that they were indeed a pair of Taoists and what they said made sense. Only Xiao Mo nodded, thinking that it was a good point and that it made sense. It also brought the topic away from the two of them, and he gave a perfect answer.
The disciple who asked the question looked at the glowing ball of light surrounding Xiao Mo and the food box at hand, then looked at the robes and magical instruments on Xiao Mo's body, all of which were treasures, and some of the magical instruments were even of heavenly level.
The disciple seemed to be thinking about something, as if he had realized something, and murmured, "I think I understand."
Although no one knows what he understood, the page has indeed been turned, and no one is pestering Xiao Mo to tell stories anymore.
With protective shields and the distraction stage in place, they chatted until late at night. Some disciples meditated and some simply took a nap. Chu Jinglan was the one who closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
Since one of his hands was still clasped with Xiao Mo's, he was unable to use his spiritual power to circulate throughout his body and could only use the method of circulating the small circulation of energy.
Seeing Chu Jinglan's relaxed posture, Xiao Mo knew that he was going to meditate as usual. After thinking for a while, in order to prevent Chu Jinglan from sitting in an awkward position, Xiao Mo moved and sat closer. Then he lifted their clasped hands and placed them on Chu Jinglan's knees.
Chu Jinglan paused with his fingers.
Xiao Mo found the storybook from the storage device and opened it easily with a twist of his fingers. He held it in one hand without raising his head: "This is more convenient for you."
He was the only one who meditated while holding someone else's hand. Chu Jinglan nodded. The handshake lasted so long that the temperature of their palms became indistinguishable. Chu Jinglan tried his best not to be distracted by it. He closed his eyes and gradually entered into a state of meditation.
While Xiao Mo seemed to be reading a storybook, he actually divided half of his consciousness and sank into the depths to pull the chain on the iron gate of memory.
He has naturally recovered a lot of memories recently, and the speed at which he pulls the chain to forcibly absorb memories has also increased. Perhaps his adaptability has improved, or Dong Qingzhu has completely stabilized his consciousness, so he is ruthless when pulling the chain.
In tonight's clip, he saw many memories of his previous life before he crossed into the book.
It turned out that the environment of the orphanage where he lived in his previous life was really bad. Some of the teachers there were not worthy of being called teachers and their behavior was excessive. Later, the orphanage was closed down, and he was adopted by a kind old grandmother.
The old grandmother lived alone and her life was not rich, but it was okay. She was a rare relative of Xiao Mo and she even supported his education. Unfortunately, Xiao Mo fell ill after finishing junior high school.
She naturally hoped that Xiao Mo would continue to study, but Xiao Mo chose to drop out of school and take care of the elderly who had difficulty moving.
He chose the person who was more important to him at that time and never regretted it.
When he was sixteen, his grandmother passed away, and Xiao Mo was alone again.
He listened to the old lady and decided to go on living, live well and see the world. But when he looked up and forward, he didn't know which direction to go for a moment, how to live up to her expectations.
It was at this time that a system voice from the big world appeared, telling him that he had the qualifications to be a corrector and asked him if he was willing.
Anyway, he didn't know what the future held and his family ties were all gone, so Xiao Mo did not hesitate.
After being selected, Xiao Mo's consciousness could freely explore the database of the big world. He studied for a year, and in the rich learning environment, he almost forgot to eat and sleep to learn all kinds of knowledge. At the age of seventeen, he got his first mission and went to the world of cultivation.
Here, he met Chu Jinglan.
Coming out of his memories, Xiao Mo regained consciousness. He only symbolically turned over two pages of the book in his hand without reading a single line of words.
He simply closed the book and looked up at the stars in the sky in a daze.
At this time, everything around was very quiet, with only the evening breeze and the stars for company. He had completely understood why he wanted to stay in the world of cultivation in his previous life.
Because he had no place to go back to, and the same was true for himself in this life.
If he just completed the mission as an inner demon without any other twists and turns, after experiencing so many things with Chu Jinglan, Xiao Mo would also be willing to stay in this world.
Xiao Mo was thinking, and suddenly thought of something.
He called out the system and asked, "System, tell me what happened in my last life. Also, the weak kinship in this life... Was it my own choice?"
As his memory returned, he had a vague premonition.
Sure enough, the system said: "Yes, you chose it yourself."
"The old Heavenly Dao collapsed, and Hongmeng Chuxi was born, preparing for the new Heavenly Dao. However, the old Heavenly Dao was unwilling to accept this. It wanted to devour Hongmeng Chuxi and seize the qualification of the new Heavenly Dao. You protected Hongmeng Chuxi, but were discovered by the old Heavenly Dao too early, and fell into a desperate situation."
"But in the end you killed Su Baimo, and the world was restarted by the old way of heaven."
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment: "Because Su Baimo died, the old heaven will restart the world?"
How ridiculous.
System: "Yes, and this is not the first time it has done this. It was because it restarted the world and attracted the attention of the big world that it sent you here to do the mission."
This world was born based on a book, and the original work was originally a set of stories comparing the world of cultivation.
There are two protagonists in the story, one is Chu Jinglan and the other is Su Baimo.
Chu Jinglan is a gifted man born in heaven. He has experienced the ups and downs of life, walked through long lonely nights, and had few relatives and friends around him, but he still made it to the top.
Su Baimo had no talent at first, but he was admired and supported by everyone. He was given the best resources and had a wide range of connections. In this way, he became a glamorous and superior person in the world of cultivation.
After the world was born, the characters in the book truly came to life, but something went wrong when Tiandao was born.
In the original novel, because Su Baimo was involved with so many characters, the description of him was much greater than that of Chu Jinglan. When the Heavenly Dao was formed, it actually determined that Su Baimo had the greatest contribution to the birth of this world, and therefore developed a preference for Su Baimo.
But after the characters in the book became real people, except for the basic plot that cannot be changed, everyone has their own true thoughts. Therefore, not many people are willing to be trapped in Su Baimo's bloody relationship.
Su Baimo is lucky and has a good life compared to many people, but not as good as in the original novel.
This made the Heavenly Dao very sad, and it actually began to directly modify the predetermined fate and even thoughts of some people. It even crossed the line and passed a message to Su Baimo, letting Su Baimo know that he was blessed by the Heavenly Dao.
From this moment on, the way of heaven has failed.
After Su Baimo knew that God was on his side and promised that he would live a better life, he began to act boldly. After he really tasted the sweetness, he became even more unscrupulous.
His reputation began to grow, he had rich emotions around him, and was entangled with many outstanding people, but that had nothing to do with Chu Jinglan.
Until one day, Mo Zhi dragged his crippled body and knelt in front of Chu Jinglan.
Yanchun and Chuxia died at the hands of Su Baimo.
Chu Jinglan went from the lower realm to the middle realm. In order to establish a sect, he needed to find four more people. However, he could only find three children who were suitable for use in the future. Time was not right to waste, so he spent money to recruit the last one to make up the number. Finally, he met the conditions for establishing a sect and got the status of a disciple.
But Chu Jinglan did not take him to the middle realm, and the man just took the money to do the job, and they were even.
Over the years, although Yan Chunchuxia and Mo Zhi were nominally his subordinates, they were also his closest relatives.
Chu Jinglan picked up the sword and killed Su Baimo, avenging Yan Chunchuxia.
One Son of Luck killed another, the one it favored the most, and the disqualified Heavenly Dao went crazy on the spot.
It didn't care and would rather spend a lot of energy to restart this world. This action finally attracted the attention of a higher dimension. Xiao Mo took the system and traveled through the book.
Xiao Mo lost his voice: "Su Baimo killed Yanchun and Chuxia!?"
Why are those two children so good-tempered and have nothing to do with Su Baimo's emotional entanglement!
Xiao Mo's grip on Chu Jinglan's hand suddenly tightened, but because the two of them were already tightly attached to each other, Chu Jinglan, who was in a state of meditation, did not notice.
System: "Su Baimo acted recklessly under the protection of the old Heavenly Dao. He found Chuxia to help him refine a medicine, but Chuxia refused, so he killed them."
"Kill someone to pay for his life." Xiao Mo thought of the two children's faces, his expression was cold, "Chu Jinglan killed him for revenge, it actually interfered in human affairs, it is indeed not worthy of being a god."
In his previous life, he only had an old grandmother who adopted him, and Chu Jinglan was often unpopular with others. There were only a few people who were worth his attention, so he naturally had to take revenge.
"So we can't let it snatch away the qualifications of the New Heavenly Dao and successfully regenerate."
After the old Heavenly Dao restarted the world, a part of its seeds remained in Su Baimo. It had to keep Su Baimo alive to maintain its own integrity. So after Xiao Mo killed Su Baimo, it had to use all its strength to restart the world again.
Su Baimo used the power of Heaven to kill Chu Jinglan. Xiao Mo made Su Baimo and the old Heaven fall into despair at the last moment and then killed Su Baimo.
System, "In the end, you are about to die. If you decide that your mission has failed and return to the big world, you will not be able to come back again. So you choose to travel to the small world to repair your body and complete this mission."
A world will only send out one corrector once. As a novice, Xiao Mo should not have received such a difficult task as going against the way of heaven. However, the big world was also short of manpower, and there was indeed no one else to send at that time, so the task fell on Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo didn't want to just let the crazy Heavenly Dao torment the world and make Chu Jinglan suffer.
"You said then—"
【“System, please choose an identity for me that has few relatives. This way, when I leave, no one will be sad for me.”
"You say it's hard? It's okay. I can endure it."】
When Xiao Mo heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chu Jinglan.
Chu Jinglan closed his eyes, his profile looking extremely handsome in the illumination of the spiritual light, like a jade statue sitting high in the clouds, untainted by the mundane world.
...I was so obsessed with returning to the world of cultivation that I wanted to be the real boss of the place where Chu Jinglan was.
Xiao Mo pressed his chest. This time, Dong Qingzhu's breath was not only warm, but also very powerful, making him feel uncomfortable.
He felt so uncomfortable that some sour emotions seemed to be overflowing, making Xiao Mo's eyes uncomfortable as well.
If it were an ordinary person, he might have shed a few tears out of sadness, but the inner demon has no tears.
He wanted to stay in the world of cultivation where Chu Jinglan was, to complete his mission, and let Chu Jinglan and himself live in a peaceful place in the future. However, Chu Jinglan had already suffered once because of his mission, so Xiao Mo didn't want to implicate him again this time.
So that's it, I was afraid.
He should complete his mission by himself, and there is no need for Chu Jinglan to get hurt again.
People need a dream and a rope to find the way home.
Chu Jinglan is now that rope.
Xiao Mo looked down at their holding hands. The plan in his mind had already been fully formed. As for overcoming his inner demons, he had actually already taken action.
Chu Jinglan trusted him so much that he didn't notice it at all.
For Xiao Mo, the only difficulty in this plan was the last part, which was what letter to leave for Chu Jinglan.
But now that he had thought it through, there was no longer any room for hesitation.
After his inner demon calamity is over and he is reborn, he will first stay away from Chu Jinglan and finish his business by himself before he can give Chu Jinglan peace.
