After Li Shu came out of Qingfeng Palace, she did not go home but stayed directly in the Taoist temple.
In addition to her office, there is also a room for her to rest in the backyard.
She cleansed herself with a cleansing talisman, then threw back the covers and got into bed.
Li Shu took out her cell phone from her coat pocket, intending to see if anyone had sent her a message, but discovered that the phone had run out of battery and turned off at some point.
She didn't bring her charger, so she had to put her phone back.
After a night of intense fighting, Li Shu was tired. She lay down, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, not long after she fell into deep sleep, she had a dream.
In her dream, she saw Master Xuanqing again.
"Oh, little Li Li, I forgot to tell you something important."
The corner of Li Shu's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't expect that even after becoming a god, her master couldn't change his bad habit of being impetuous and forgetful.
"Master, what's the important matter?"
"Aren't you curious about why you were reborn into this body?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Shu's eyes, "Master, do you know?"
Xuan Qing Zhenren stroked his beard and said, "Yes, if you say something nice, I will tell you."
Li Shu raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, "Oh, get out of my dream quickly, I want to sleep."
"..." Master Xuanqing coughed lightly, "Ah, then I will tell you reluctantly."
Li Shu hummed, "Then tell me."
"Actually, this body was originally yours."
"What?" Li Shu was slightly stunned when she heard this. Then, she came to her senses, her eyes full of confusion. "Master, how can I have two selves? This doesn't make sense, right?"
"Existence is reasonable."
"Then why is this happening? How do you know, Master?"
"Do you remember when you were five years old and I wasn't paying attention, you ran off to the mountains behind the Taoist temple to challenge the tiger demon, but you didn't win. Instead, you were injured and fell into a coma for a month before waking up?"
Li Shu nodded, "I remember, what's wrong?"
"Master didn't tell you that you were beaten so hard that your soul left your body. When Master found your soul, he discovered that one part was missing." Master Xuanqing said slowly.
"When I found the lost soul, it had already been incarnated into your current body. Or rather, it was incarnated while this body was still in your belly."
"Of course, I can't retrieve it in that situation. If I did, I would have killed the newborn baby. At that time, I hadn't ascended yet, so I definitely couldn't do something that would damage my virtue."
Li Shu's eyes were filled with deep surprise. "In that case, shouldn't this body have been born as an idiot?"
"That's right, but I, the master, have naturally used some means to make your body, which only has one soul, behave like a normal person."
"As you know, this body died in an accident, and your original body, missing this soul, could not live past the age of twenty-four. After your soul left your previous body, I cast a spell to bring you into your current body, so that your soul and spirit are complete."
The expression on Li Shu's face gradually calmed down from the initial shock. She didn't expect that her master had done so much for her. "So that's how it is."
She paused for a moment and then continued, "Master, why are you telling me now? Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Now the time has come." Master Xuanqing stroked his beard and said with a profound look on his face.
Li Shu looked at him softly, "Master, thank you."
"You are my precious disciple. It is my duty as a master to do all this." Master Xuanqing said gently, "Let's go, little Li Li."
After saying this, he disappeared from sight again.
Li Shu woke up from her sleep, feeling a sense of loss.
She looked at her hands and didn't expect that this body was hers from beginning to end.
Li Shu collected herself, put on her coat, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
She opened the door of the room, and when she saw the scene outside, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She found that snowflakes had been falling from the sky without her knowing when.
This is actually the first snow in Beijing this year, and it happened on the last day of the year. As soon as it’s twelve o’clock, it’s the new year.
She stepped over the threshold, walked down the corridor, and stretched out her hand.
A snowflake fell into her palm and quickly melted away.
She felt that time passed as quickly as snowflakes melting in her palm, and half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Shu withdrew her hand and was about to turn around and go back into the house, but she caught a glimpse of someone walking in from outside the yard out of the corner of her eye.
The man was wearing a black coat and seemed to be blending into the darkness.
When Shen Yu walked up to her and stopped, Li Shu asked stupidly, "Why are you here?"
Shen Yu looked her up and down, secretly relieved at the same time, "I sent you a message but no one replied, and no one answered the phone. I went to your house and they said you were out, so I came here to try my luck."
"My phone is out of battery." Li Shu explained.
"Why are you here at the Taoist temple so late? Did something happen?" Shen Yu asked.
Li Shu took his hand, which was as cold as she had imagined. She couldn't help but squeeze it tightly. "It's so cold outside, let's talk inside."
Shen Yu felt the warmth on his hand, his eyes moved slightly, he hummed, and walked into the house side by side with Li Shu.
Li Shu pulled him to sit at the table and told him briefly what happened tonight, but downplayed the dangerous situation at that time. She just briefly mentioned that she defeated Jingchen and saved Wenxuan.
