Chapter 1146 Dream
Xiao Xixi's mind was in a daze, as if her soul had flown away from her body.
When she came to, she found herself standing on the Star-Picking Platform. Above her head was the endless night sky filled with sparkling stars.
The night breeze caressed my temples, bringing with it a tender and lingering feeling.
Someone was calling her from behind.
"Hehe."
Xiao Xixi turned around, looked in the direction of the voice, and found Xuanjizi sitting not far away.
His appearance returned to that of his youth.
His black hair was casually fixed with a jade hairpin, and a strand of hair fell along the corner of his forehead, matching his handsome face, making him look particularly unrestrained and uninhibited.
He was wearing a loose white Taoist robe and sitting casually on the ground, with one leg raised, one arm resting on his knee, the other hand supported behind his back, and his upper body slightly leaning back.
His eyes curved with laughter.
It was as if all the stars in the sky fell into his eyes, deep and bright.
Xiao Xixi stared at her master in a daze, and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Until Xuanjizi called her again.
"Xixi, why are you standing there like an idiot? Come and sit down."
Xiao Xixi finally came back to her senses, and her eyes instantly became moist.
She ran over, threw herself into her master's arms, and cried loudly.
"Master, I miss you so much!"
Xuanjizi was knocked back by her and almost fell to the ground.
He quickly held her shoulders and smiled helplessly.
"Why are you crying?"
Xiao Xixi: "Woo woo woo! Am I dreaming now?"
Xuanjizi touched her head and said with a smile: "You are just dreaming."
Xiao Xixi suddenly raised her head, tears on her face, but her eyes were wide open, as if she couldn't believe it.
"Is this a dream?"
Xuanjizi wiped the tears from her face with his sleeve and said helplessly: "Silly girl, I'm already dead, how can you see me in reality?"
The last bit of luck was extinguished, and Xiao Xixi was completely stunned.
She was unwilling to accept this cruel reality.
Xuanjizi: "When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. I should have said goodbye to this earthly world, but I still can't let you go. Xixi, you shouldn't have gone to find Kongchan. The grudge between him and me has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Xixi cried and retorted: "Why does it not matter? You are my master, and it is my responsibility to avenge my master!"
Seeing that she was crying again, Xuanjizi quickly comforted her.
"Okay, okay, you did nothing wrong. I was wrong. I thought everything was too simple."
Xiao Xixi retorted: "Master is not wrong either, it is Kong Chan who is wrong!"
Xuanjizi shook his head and sighed.
"You don't understand, I have made three big mistakes in my life.
Back then, I did not listen to my master's advice and insisted on going against the will of heaven and changing my fate to save King Nanyue.
As a result, my hair and beard turned white, and my body was in a weak state for a long time afterwards.
Just at that time, Kong Chan ambushed Master. I rushed over as fast as I could, but still failed to save Master, and Kong Chan escaped.
If I had not been so weak at that time, if I could have used all my strength, Master would not have died, and Kong Chan would not have been able to escape.
——This was the first mistake I made.
Later, after I recovered, I went down the mountain myself to hunt down Kong Chan.
I finally found him, but discovered that he had married an ordinary woman.
The woman even had his child.
Looking at her happy smile, I softened my heart for a moment and did not tell her the truth about Kong Chan's murder of his master and his defection. I also let her stay at home and take care of her pregnancy.
As a result, Kong Chan mistakenly thought that she had some connection with me, and strangled her to death in anger.
If I had been cruel enough to tell Miss Chu the truth and take her away from Kong Chan, the tragedy that followed would not have happened.
This is the second mistake I made.
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but ask, "Since Miss Chu had been strangled to death, why was she able to give birth to Xiaojian?"
Xuanjizi: "Because there was a talisman in the brocade bag I gave her. It was that talisman that saved Miss Chu's life. She was just in a deep coma at the time. She looked like she had no breath, but her pulse was still beating weakly."
Xiao Xixi realized that this was a deep shock, also known as a state of suspended animation in modern medicine.
Deep shock is very dangerous, not to mention that Xiaochu was pregnant at the time.
If Xuanjizi had not arrived in time, she would not have survived even with the amulet.
Xuanjizi: “When I arrived, Kong Chan had disappeared, and only Miss Chu was lying on the ground unconscious.
I originally thought that she could not keep the baby in her belly.
But fortunately, not only did Miss Chu wake up, but the baby in her belly was also saved.
Miss Chu was very sad and cried for a long time, but in the end, she cheered herself up for the sake of the baby in her belly.
After she gave birth to the child, she named him Chu Jian.
She said she hoped her son would be as upright and honest as a sword, and that she hoped he would learn swordsmanship when he grows up, so that he could protect himself and those around him.
When Chu Jian was three years old, his mother died of illness.
Xuanjizi had already calculated this, and he personally went out to bring Chu Jian back to Xuanmen, and accepted him as his fifth disciple.
When talking about these past events, Xuanjizi was filled with emotion.
Xiao Xixi also temporarily forgot her sadness and sighed along with them.
Xiao Chu is really a good girl, but it's a pity that she was entrusted to the wrong person.
Xuanjizi took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and continued speaking.
"The third mistake I made was that I shouldn't have let you go down the mountain to do the mission for the master."
Xiao Xixi was stunned.
Seeing her confused look, Xuanjizi sighed softly, his tone full of helplessness.
"If you hadn't gone down the mountain to complete the mission, you wouldn't have met Luo Qinghan, and you wouldn't have changed his fate.
Do you think the price of changing your destiny is just gray hair?
It’s not that simple. God is fair. There are gains and losses.
You changed his fate so that he could continue to live, but where did the extra life come from?
All of it comes from you, and you are wasting your life to support him."
Xiao Xixi lowered her head and thought for a while, then spoke softly.
“If I hadn’t met Luo Qinghan, I wouldn’t have lived past the age of nineteen. I’m still alive today because of him.
He saved my life, so I give him my life back, it's only fair."
Xuanjizi: "Even if Luo Qinghan wasn't there, I could still change your fate, but I would have to pay a price.
But rather than letting you foolishly change someone else's fate, I would rather give you my own fate.
It’s a pity that I didn’t think so much at the time.
I thought Luo Qinghan had the Purple Star destiny, so he should be immune to all evil and could live a hundred years.
But I didn't expect so many things to happen later.
Just like when I changed the fate of King Nanyue, I was only concerned with solving the problem at hand, but forgot to consider the future. "
