Ch122 - Enlightening

Lin Shu: “It may not necessarily be the fault of Immortal Lord Yuehua.”

He didn’t know why, but after meeting the actual Qing Ming Demon Lord, he felt that the fight with Immortal Lord Yuehua was probably caused by the Demon Lord unilaterally.

Fruit held the mirror and asked, “Are all the things here yours?”

Lin Shu said, “All of them.”

Fruit held the mirror in his arms happily, “I want this.”

Lin Shu: “Okay.”

Xiao Shao: “You didn’t even call him ‘Father’. How can you ask for something?”

Fruit made a face to him, “So annoying!”

Xiao Shao curled his lips.

Lin Shu found that the two people, in his presence, often took pleasure in attacking each other. When he just arrived, he saw Xiao Shao holding fruit and looking in the mirror, and they were very harmonious.

With permission, Fruit kept holding the mirror and kept watching. After a while, he said that he was with many beautiful sisters, and then he said that there became only one beauty watching the moon with him.

Lin Shu thought that Fruit’s behavior could be understood.

After all, as the essence of Beauty’s Grace, he could only stay with two men every day, which was very incompatible with his nature, and can only be relieved by the mirror.

Xiao Shao frowned and looked at this mirror, “This thing is ominous.”

Fruit: “There is cause and effect in the mirror.”

Xiao Shao: “Why do you say that?”

Fruit has a special sense of touch in many ways.

“What happens today is caused by what happened yesterday; what happens today will inevitably be the cause of what happens tomorrow.” Fruit put it pretty well. “You meeting Xiao Xuan was the cause, and you having a daughter was the effect. You coming to the village is the cause while finding out about the cave is the effect. Everything that happens today is the effect of yesterday and is also the cause of everything after today. Therefore, I think this mirror can see what caused you to become who you are today, and also determine what happens in the future. What’s more, it also says the words ‘Separation and getting together, are all pre-determined fate’.“

Xiao Shao: “You’re considered fluent.”

The fruit was elated, “I am the spirit created from heaven and earth, naturally I am extraordinary.”

Then he ran away with the mirror in his arms and went to see other places in the cave.

The two followed the fruit all the way.

——The fruit went straight to the treasure house.

There were many rare and exotic treasures, but most of them are rare pills and jade. There was no magic weapon with strong attack power.

This is inconsistent with Demon Lord’s personality—So Lin Shu thought that it was probably confiscated by Immortal Lord Yuehua.

First, abolish his meridians and then confiscate the dangerous items, the Demon Lord will have no attack power.

However, even after Qing Ming Demon Lord had no meridians and wanted to cause trouble, he still managed to create the Extinction Void Art.

When he thought of the Extinction Void Art, he thought of the Demon Lord who asked him to go to his study.

The fruit stayed in the treasure house to organize his property and didn’t want to go. He just gave Lin Shu a large piece of pale green chalcedony. “This can be fed to the Folding Bamboo, and the sword spirit will come out quickly!”

Lin Shu took it and kept it properly.

The study room was very large. After the lights were lit, the cabinets were as high as the ceiling, densely packed with books.

There was a lot of rice paper scattered on the ground and the table, some with handwriting, some without, and some with meaningless lines.

It’s not easy to find the trace of Extinction Void Art in these thousands of white papers.

Lin Shu felt that he had a lot to do in the future.

Xiao Shao picked up a pile, sat down with him, picked out meaningful pieces of paper, and put them aside.

Without the fruit chirping aside, the room became very quiet, only the sound of breathing and pages turning could be heard.

After a while, Lin Shu heard Xiao Shao say indifferently, “The thing in the mirror, I am worried about it.”

Lin Shu made a movement with his hand.

To be honest, Fruit’s remarks——

He saw another of himself in the snow mountain, and Xiao Shao saw blood.

Is this the cause and effect? He said, “Me too.”

Xiao Shao said, “Do you remember the Ghost Master of Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss?”

Lin Shu: “I remember.”

At that time, Xiao Shao was still the cousin. In the battle at the bottom of Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss cliff, they encountered many “Ghost Masters”.

The Ghost Master was formed from the resentment and fear of countless people who have died. He could see through what people feared most in their hearts and win by ruining their mental state.

“When we met one in Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss, he said a phrase.”

Lin Shu: “Huh?”

He recalled for a moment, remembering that the ghost master did say something at that time, which was “The colorful clouds are easy to disperse, and the colored glaze shatters easily“.

Xiao Shao said, “The Ghost Master had said, Flowers on brocade, a blazing fire cooks the oil, how long can such scenery last?”

Lin Shu then said, “The overly rigid will easily break, the overly wise will inevitably hurt themselves. Colorful clouds will easily disperse, and colored glaze is brittle and fragile… One can only do their best to fend for themselves.”

Who was the ghost master talking about? Whose state of mind is he going to shake?

Xiao Shao said: “I often feel that these words are for me.”

Big Miss’s figure appeared in front of Lin Shu for no apparent reason.

At night, looking out of the window of the bamboo house, he could often see Big Miss sitting alone in the atrium or playing the flute.

The music from the flute was melancholic, often so low that it sounded like it had ended, but it then again started from the beginning.

At that time, he often thought, why does Big Miss play such a tune?

And now that he knew Xiao Shao, he knew that this person hid many unspeakable secrets. Hiding secrets were often not easy, not to mention the extraordinary ones.

He thought, in fact, he felt that the road ahead for him was dim. He did not know where to go, what about Xiao Shao?

Did Xiao Shao also have such a moment of confusion?

He looked at Xiao Shao, not knowing what to say, and finally said, “I can’t understand what is in the mirror. But… when that day comes, I will know.”

When the boat reaches the bridge, it will sink naturally. If it doesn’t sink today, it will sink tomorrow.

Lin Shu often regretted things when he was young.

For example, after learning the Flying Flower Sword Technique, he realised that the technique and the Sky Cloud Sword Technique can not coexist. From then on, he couldn’t practice the Sky Cloud Sword Technique anymore.

But when he regretted it, he told himself that if he went back to the beginning and chose between Flying Flower and Sky Cloud techniques, he would still choose Flying Flower Sword.

If you think about it like this, you won’t regret it.

Many other things are like this, so he thought that no matter how bad things he encountered were, it was the consequence of what he had done before, and what he had done before could not be changed. Even if he went back in time, he would still make the same decisions and nothing would be changed. Therefore, when one is fated to encounter such matters there should be no room for regret.

It is said that “a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water”. If you always pre-assume yourself as a dead pig all the time, there will be nothing to worry about.

Xiao Shao reached out and touched his hair, grabbed a strand in his hand, “What you said makes sense.”

Lin Shu looked at Xiao Shao and saw that he was looking at his hair.

“Although there are ominous signs, Xiao Shao had not done anything worthy of shame in his life, and he had not let down anyone. No matter how it ends, I would be willing.”

Xiao Shao seemed relieved, but still did not let go of that strand of hair.

Lin Shu said, “I think so too.”

He thought that he was wrong. People like Xiao Shao would not be confused. Even if he had such a moment, it would be short-lived.

Xiao Shao said with a smile, “What do you think?”

Lin Shu said: “You… Naturally, you have your ideas. ”

After thinking about it for a while, he added: “Before, I didn’t think there was anything in the world that Big Miss couldn’t do. Xiao Shao is probably the same”.

Xiao Shao said: “Such a sweet mouth.”

Lin Shu smiled in embarrassment.

Xiao Shao said: “I used to think that Lin Shu was a very good little thing. He stayed quietly by his side and made people dote on him. Later, I felt that his conscience was clear and enlightened as if he would never change. It is the same now. Although he had become a boy, it hasn’t changed much.”

Lin Shu said, “I didn’t become a boy.”

Similarly, they have never lost any wives or daughters.

They didn’t exist. They simply did not exist.

Xiao Shao laughed.

After laughing, he said: “I have a bad temper, but I feel that when you are around, I am always more composed. I feel light after I have told you something which upsets my heart.”

Lin Shu didn’t know how the topic changed so fast, but since Xiao Shao said so, he had to reply appropriately: “I’m useless. Thank you for taking care of me all the time.”

Xiao Shao leaned over and gently kissed his hair, “Xiao Shao’s heart and mind are unstable, and I will encounter many obstacles next time, hopefully, this immortal sir will enlighten me in the future.”

Enlightening him, that’s fine too.

Lin Shu felt that being Xiao Shao’s tree hole was not hard.

But why did Xiao Shao kiss his hair?

Lin Shu thought, this person wants to develop a long-term relationship.
