My practice narration is weird.

a pot of flower.

What is Lu Qingshan avoiding? What is he afraid of?

This is the answer given in Tianyan’s picture.

At this moment, Ye Wuyou leaned over gently and squatted in front of the pot of blooming flowers, staring with a thoughtful look.

The flowers are in full bloom, full of vitality and exuding a subtle fragrance.

He looked around and saw many flowers and plants in pots like this one.

They were all placed around Lu Qingshan's bamboo house, like a small flower bed.

Even though Ye Wuyou didn't know much about flowers and plants, he could tell the good from the bad. Everything around him was obviously taken care of by Lu Qingshan.

But Ye Wuyou still didn’t understand. What was there to be afraid of about a pot of flowers?
No, that's not the case.

The narrator points out that Lu Qingshan is a human-like wreck.

Ye Wuyou found it hard to understand.

It is not uncommon to see wreckage shaped like a human.

Exclude the existence of new avenues like 'Little Monk'.

Others include the footless man, the mute woman, and the judgment of truth and falsehood...

But all these wrecks have one thing in common.

He has no intelligence at all and acts almost instinctively.

Weirdness and intelligence are like conflicting contradictions that cannot be combined together.

This is normal. Even if it looks very 'weak' and weird, the magical power is still unsolvable.

If he had a brain again, the consequences would be disastrous.

But the well-organized Lu Qingshan in front of me is a wreckage?

The narrator's words were extremely confident, but Ye Wuyou was still confused. If he believed it, it would undoubtedly overturn all his previous understanding of the weirdness.

It is obviously difficult to deduce Lu Qingshan, but what Tian Yan gave is not an answer, but a clue.

With a thoughtful look in his eyes, Ye Wuyou looked at the flowers and plants in the pot again, trying to find some clues from them.

But no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary plant growing vigorously...

His eyes paused slightly, and Ye Wuyou reached out and gently moved the soil in the pot.

A few yellowed and dried petals appeared in Ye Wuyou's eyes.

The petals had not yet turned black, and had obviously fallen off not long ago.

Ye Wuyou didn't notice anything wrong at first, until a moment later, when his eyes were slightly startled and he looked at the flowerpot again.

The sound of footsteps came.

However, it was Lu Qingshan who walked up to Ye Wuyou at this moment, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Do you know what I saw in Tianyan?"

Ye Wuyou naturally didn't know, but Lu Qingshan gently waved his sleeves, and a picture appeared in front of the two of them.

Dayan Imperial City, Jixia Academy.

Underground palace.

"The question I deduced is how to help you, and this is the answer given by Tianyan." Lu Qingshan's voice sounded lightly.

Ye Wuyou didn't understand what he meant.

This is where I first obtained [Forgetfulness].

But what does this have to do with helping yourself?

Came a questioning voice.

"The half of [Forgotten] under the Great Yan Imperial City is in your possession?"

Ye Wuyou was a little confused at first as to how Lu Qingshan knew this, but then he remembered that he had been to the Imperial City before, so the underground events might not be a secret to him.

He stood up quietly and nodded.

"You already knew?"

"When I set foot in the Imperial City in the past, I had already discovered that thing. Before that, I was eroded by Death and had been looking for a way to prolong my life, which meant trying to integrate into the second weirdness."

After a slight pause, Lu Qingshan smiled.

"But the erosion caused by that half of [forgetfulness] is endless. Compared to [death], I am more afraid of [forgetfulness]."

"I just didn't expect that you would take it in the end."

Ye Wuyou frowned. He didn't know what Lu Qingshan meant by saying this.

But he realized one thing.

The real Lu Qingshan might not have only the strange image of [Death] on his body.

Lu Qingshan originally thought about trying to integrate into the second strange thing... but in the end, for some reason, he chose [Shinto Technique Copy].

The next words came, dispelling the doubts in Ye Wuyou's heart.

"Now that all this has been confirmed, I think I know how to help you."

As he spoke, Lu Qingshan took a light step and stood between Ye Wuyou and the flower bed.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have experienced the erosion of [forgetfulness] a long time ago, and you can't remember many things clearly. But since you read Su Qingchen's records in the underground palace in the beginning, she would use records to avoid forgetting, so you naturally wouldn't fail to think of this."

He stretched out his hand towards Ye Wuyou and smiled calmly.

"So, why not show me your records? As for the rest, there's no need to explore. What do you think?"

Ye Wuyou was silent for a moment, then took out the worn booklet and handed it to Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan took the worn booklet from Ye Wuyou with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This record book seems to be very old.

But I still feel confused.

Ye Wuyou couldn't help but speak.

"So you will be fine, but why did you use the [Shinto Technique Copy] in the first place? Even in the scene in Tianyan, why did you willingly let the 'Lu Qingshan' you copied be beaten to death? To create the illusion that you were dead?"

This is the thing that Ye Wuyou cannot understand the most.

It was obvious that the original Lu Qingshan in front of him had been beaten to death.

But he is still alive.

Why is he still alive? But since he is still alive, it proves that everything that happened was part of the other party's calculations, and Lu Qingshan did all that on purpose.

Lu Qingshan looked indifferent. His fingertips gently turned the worn pages of the book, and he spread them out one by one. When he saw the records of Lu's Linlang Island, his eyes softened and he put on an indescribable smile.

Facing Ye Wuyou's question at this moment, he thought about it and finally responded casually.

"I can tell you that, because I want to get rid of..."

The voice suddenly stopped.

The book was turned to a certain page.

That was a record that Ye Wuyou had never seen before.

That is a record for the future.

Lu Qingshan's gaze turned from bright to dark in an instant, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

He took a few steps back and then turned around, avoiding Ye Wuyou's gaze. He himself was focused and stared at the contents recorded in the book.

It turned out to be the case.

So that's how it is, so the past has changed, so the future has changed.

At the end of the page, there are three simple sentences written in a clear and neat style.

[Lu Qingshan, I know that you don’t care about anything in this world. You don’t care about the life and death of this host, nor do you care about Dayan, nor do you care about Ye Wuyou now, nor do you care about what that white jade toad can do…]

[These victories and defeats, life and death, the bright and clear world, what kind of changes will the world undergo, who will make it to the end, all of this, for most people, is just like the stories in a storybook, it seems so high and so far away, what does it have to do with me? ]

[But Lu Qingshan, what kind of future do you want? ]

----

"Ye Wuyou, do you have any wish?"

"?"

Ye Wuyou typed a big question mark.

Lu Qingshan smiled and asked in a different tone.

"That's a little abrupt. Let me ask you another way. As far as you are concerned, is there anything you want to do right now, and if you don't do it, you will regret it even if you are no longer alive?"

what is this?
Asking about last wishes?

I'm not dead yet.

Ye Wuyou frowned and said nothing, while Lu Qingshan shook his head slightly.

"Ye Wuyou, I am helping you now. Since you have come to me, you should trust me, right? This is also trusting yourself."

Lu Qingshan's words were full of sincerity, and Ye Wuyou's eyes showed thoughtfulness.

What I want to do right now...

"I... want to find Lu Caiwei."

"What else?" Lu Qingshan changed the subject.

"Liquidation." Ye Wuyou's answer was clear and neat.

"Liquidation?" Lu Qingshan was a little confused.

"Clear those guys, clear those remnants, leave no one alive."

This anger hidden deep in his heart has always been suppressed by Ye Wuyou, but when it is mentioned, there is no need to think about it.

Regardless of good or bad, right or wrong, what Ye Wuyou thought in his heart was the same as what Luo Qinghan thought at the beginning.

Liquidation.

The smile on Lu Qingshan's face gradually faded, and he looked at Ye Wuyou strangely, and finally thought about it and smiled helplessly. Then, he handed Ye Wuyou an address.

"Let's go to this place."

"what is this?"

"You'll know when you get there. You should go here now."

Looking at the address Lu Qingshan handed him and facing Lu Qingshan's words, Ye Wuyou was still completely confused.

"Don't you want to find Lu Caiwei back?" Lu Qingshan said with a smile at this moment.

Ye Wuyou was slightly startled, but then a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes and he asked tentatively.

"If I go to this place, can I find Caiwei?"

Lu Qingshan shook his head, but before Ye Wuyou could get angry, he added softly.

"If you don't go, you will never find Caiwei, and you will regret it instead."

Ye Wuyou said nothing more, but stretched out his hand towards Lu Qingshan, motioning him to return the booklet.

Some intuition in his heart prevented Ye Wuyou from opening the record book, but after Lu Qingshan finished reading it, he... should be able to read it, right?
But Lu Qingshan still refused and put the booklet into his arms in front of Ye Wuyou.

"What is recorded on it?" Ye Wuyou asked.

Lu Qingshan smiled but said nothing.

"What's the strange thing about you?" Ye Wuyou asked again.

Lu Qingshan did not prevaricate any more, but just looked at Ye Wuyou quietly and spoke.

"When you come back, you will know everything."

Ye Wuyou said nothing, looked at Lu Qingshan deeply, then turned and left.

The voice came from far behind me.

"By the way, Ye Wuyou, let me remind you of something."

"If you can come back, I will wait for you in Tianlan City."

……

The place Lu Qingshan gave was not too far away.

At least that's the case for Ye Wuyou now.

The ripples of the Shinto technique flickered gently, and in an instant they had crossed the boundless distance.

The lake was calm, surrounded by dense forests and no one was around.

This is where Lu Qingshan asked him to come.

Looking at the calm lake, Ye Wuyou's doubts increased instead of decreasing.

The first is Lu Caiwei…how should I find Lu Caiwei.

Is she still alive.

The second is Lu Qingshan.

Not to mention what the strange thing about Lu Qingshan is at this moment, what was the purpose of everything the other party had set up in the past, and what purpose did it achieve?
The third is what exactly happened on that day.

He had wanted to open the book of records countless times, but there was always a voice in his heart reminding and admonishing him.

Do not open.

Ye Wuyou, who was under [Forgotten], was running around like a headless fly, his heart full of confusion.

Lu Qingshan's words gave him guidance. As long as he arrived here, he would get the answer to everything when he returned.

But what's so special about this place?

The narrator's voice rang in Ye Wuyou's mind.

[What a great little cave hidden in the world. Wow, there is a cave here to pick up treasures? ]

Small cave?
Aren’t the only paradises in the world the Luo River and the vanished Penglai?
How could there be a cave?

But since the narrator had spoken, combined with Lu Qingshan's words, Ye Wuyou knew that there must be some mysteries underwater, so he no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the lake.

There is a whole new world underwater.

Wisps of thin spiritual energy spread out, which gave Ye Wuyou a boost and even restored some of his depressed spirit.

Although Ye Wuyou was surprised to find a small cave that no one cared about, Lu Qingshan did not ask him to come here for this purpose.

Just as Ye Wuyou was thinking carefully, an inexplicably strong suction force came from the depths of the lake.

[No, this is not good. You have noticed the mystery of this place. That old man Lu Qingshan is trying to harm you. This is not a good place. Retreat, retreat quickly.]

Of course Ye Wuyou wanted to quit.

But there is no way to retreat at all.

The enormous suction force swept it up and dragged it to the bottom of the lake.

Even though his whole body was full of energy, he was like an ant trying to shake a tree in the face of the suction. How ridiculous and overestimating one's own abilities.

[With such a strong suction, I’m gonna be, damn, clamped, and broken]

Damn metaphor.

An extremely dark hole appeared in front of Ye Wuyou. The suction force came and Ye Wuyou was sucked into it, with his bones crackling all over his body.

In an instant, the world spun.

Until everything calmed down, Ye Wuyou felt that he was still under the water, but there was a touch of warmth around him.

The spiritual energy in the water here is even richer, and it is estimated that the quality of the spiritual energy accumulated in the Luo River world is comparable.

It is no longer the lake it once was.

What are you doing for me?

Damn it, where is this?

The narrator didn't say anything, but after a while, he said something.

【run】

Running away.

He ran in Yunwu Mountain, and he ran here too?

Ye Wuyou was extremely angry.

I couldn't help with anything, and the doubts in my mind couldn't be answered. I just ran away.

Ye Wuyou was at the bottom of the water at the moment. Looking at the rippling waves above, he swam towards the surface without hesitation.

……

The waves ripple gently on the water.

The air is filled with steam and mist.

Ye Wuyou felt as if it was winter at this moment, and his whole body was extremely cold.

Feeling the cold gaze, Ye Wuyou was silent for a moment, thought about it, and then smiled warmly.

"Before you said you wanted me to go back with you to practice, but I didn't want to at that time. Now I come by myself, and it saves you from having to make another trip. What do you think?"

Wenqu smiled at this moment, his face looked extremely pale.

Ye Wuyou also smiled. He stood up from the water and stepped onto the shore, smiling at Wen Qu.

"Oh, I just remembered that I didn't add water to the soup I cooked at home. I'll go back and check. You can continue to soak it."

My feet suddenly slipped.

The shore I had stepped on suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The huge wave hit, and Ye Wuyou was swept back into the water. Then a huge force stepped on him, pressing him to the bottom of the water.

Surrounded by rising mist, the woman quietly stood up from the water and stepped onto the shore. When the mist dissipated, the black and white yin-yang Taoist robe reappeared on her body.

She just stood quietly on the shore, looking at the water.

There was a turbulent sound on the water surface at first, but then it turned calm, with only a faint trace of bright red blood floating on the surface.

…………

"Sister Sword Fairy, I'm hungry."

"Sister Sword Fairy, I won't go back to the sect. They don't like me."

"Sister Jianxian, let me go with you. I know where the Luohe blessed land you mentioned is. It's not the Great Yan you mentioned."

"Sister Sword Fairy, this, this, I want to buy this, I want to buy this, "My Junior Sister is a Sword Fairy"!"

"Sister Sword Fairy, can I call you Master?"

"..."

Late at night.

The girl, who had been traveling all day, had fallen into a deep sleep.

The sound of even and heavy breathing softly echoed in the room.

Lu Caiwei woke up from her meditation.

She stood beside Wenqu, with a hint of deep doubt in her clear eyes.

This little girl is Wenqu.

It is a piece of music from a long, long time ago.

But what would happen if Wenqu had not existed from the beginning?
If I kill her right now...

Would the ending be different?

Those eyes, which had always been extremely clear, were now becoming colder and colder.

The dim candlelight flickered gently and then went out silently.

In the pitch-black room, only the clear light of the sword in the woman's hand remained. (End of this chapter)
