He memorized the locations of all the books that might contain records of the Lingxu Mirror.
I packed up before Lu Jiu came back and sat near the door waiting.
"Brother Gu, thank you, thank you... I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now. Did I delay your work?"
Lu Jiu hurried back holding a package to express his gratitude.
Gu Xingyun smiled and shook his head: "No, since you are back, I will go upstairs to read."
"Okay, Senior Brother Gu, I've prepared a cushion for the seat you usually sit on. There's also some scented tea in the second drawer for you to make some."
"Thank you very much."
"No, no, this is what I should do. Brother Gu, please go quickly. I still have a lot of things to sort out today."
Lu Jiu said as he packed up.
After making sure that he was really busy today and would not disturb him suddenly, Gu Xingyun left with peace of mind.
His injuries were almost healed, and his master had come out of seclusion. Now he could focus on himself.
What exactly is the Lingxu Mirror that monsters fear?
He didn't even know how to use it, but luckily he scared the monster off at that time.
On the second floor of Canghai Pavilion, a figure kept moving among the bookshelves. After a long time, it finally stopped somewhere.
"Found it."
Gu Xingyun brought the book to his seat and took out another book to put on top of it.
"Store souls...nourish...destroy..."
He frowned as he read the contents, and certain images suddenly flashed through his mind.
"So this thing... was left by Ye Yan?"
The situation was chaotic at the time. Ye Yan must have hidden the Lingxu Mirror while no one was paying attention, planning to start over after escaping. However, he didn't expect that his master would shatter all his thoughts with a sword.
No wonder she, as a demon, can extract people's souls.
No wonder she looks so weak. Activating the Lingxu Mirror, which can only be used by cultivators, must have consumed a lot of her energy.
"...People holding the Lingxu Mirror have a fatal attraction for those with incomplete souls..."
Gu Xingyun suddenly stopped turning the pages and stared at the line of words for a long time.
It's effortless to recall the scene.
He hated his amazing memory for being able to remember every detail so clearly.
His master was clearly showing signs of a scattered soul at that time, and at first he even pointed a sword at him, completely refusing to get close.
He put a lot of effort into communicating.
Until he picked up the Lingxu Mirror, he knew nothing about it and just put it away.
From then on, his master no longer resisted his approach and let him do anything excessive.
In the end, she even ignored everyone except him and was completely obsessed with him.
He also thought that this was a special privilege that belonged only to him.
I thought it was the reward for so many years of careful service.
"So that's how it is..."
"It turns out it's not because of me..."
The expression on Gu Xingyun's face was very strange, as if he was crying, but also as if he was laughing.
He reached out and pressed his hands against his hot eyes, suppressing the inexplicable grievance and unwillingness in his heart.
He was delighted for so long, and took advantage of that period. All that courage and confidence came from the Master's initiative.
Whenever he felt like feeling guilty, he would tell himself: It doesn't matter, it was his master who took the initiative to stick to him, so he could do anything.
Tell him now that that beautiful memory, the memory he cherished so much that even made him give up pretending, is all fake.
It’s all because of the Lingxu Mirror.
My thoughts are extremely confused.
Gu Xingyun took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and continued to turn the pages.
"The Lingxu Mirror cannot store unclean souls. If you forcibly extract them, the soul will dissipate the moment it leaves the body, and there will be no possibility of survival."
This is why the monster is afraid.
"If there is a cultivator who is willing to feed with blood, sacrifice his entire cultivation and lifespan, he can exchange bodies with the one he rescues, allowing the other person's life to continue..."
Gu Xingyun finally understood the monster's intention at that time, but he didn't feel happy at all.
The Lingxu Mirror was summoned out, emitting a faint light in his hand.
There is still no reflection of anyone in the mirror.
Gu Xingyun tried to destroy it with a little force, but in the end he couldn't bear it.
What if this mirror is gone and his master no longer treats him as well as before?
His master was so emotionally unstable, but he was normal only when he was around him. This must be due to the mirror.
Why couldn't it be just because of him?
Gu Xingyun put the mirror away, somewhat unwillingly: "Maybe this is nonsense. This is the only book in the entire Canghai Pavilion that mentions the Lingxu Mirror. Who knows if it is..."
He turned the page to the front and shut up the moment he saw the compiler's name.
"It's true."
It was written by his master.
How could it possibly go wrong?
There is no last excuse left.
When he was about to return the book, Gu Xingyun was in a low mood. He put the book back, but then he took it out and hid it in his clothes.
I don't want other people to see this. Anyway, the Lingxu Mirror is in my hands, and this book is of no use to others.
He hesitated for a moment, then pulled out another recipe book from the nearest bookshelf and put it into his sleeve.
When he went downstairs and prepared to leave, Lu Jiu greeted him through a gap in a pile of books: "Brother Gu, are you going home?"
"Yeah." Gu Xingyun stepped out of the door of Canghai Pavilion, and Lu Jiu on the other side immediately let out a howl.
