"I'm really sorry for making you think of such an unpleasant thing." Fang Shijing put away his fan at some point, looked at the slightly pale face of the man in red, and said solemnly: "I shouldn't have asked more—this was a mistake in the first place." .”

"It's nothing, I don't know what happened in my life..." Qin Xiangling looked at the elder Fang's family with a little distaste: "Don't do this, it makes me feel a little nauseous..."

"Ah? Why do you hate me so much?" Fang Shijing narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, I hate you that much." Qin Xiangling smiled: "Besides, I was able to sit where I am now."

"It makes sense." Fang Shijing raised his eyebrows.

"There is a grove similar to the Time Formation behind the library, which I discovered a long time ago... I jumped out of the window, as if I went to another world - it was a mountain full of spiritual energy, there was There are many immortal grasses and elixir that I didn’t know at that time. There was a small peach tree on the top of the mountain, and there was a simple cabin next to it. I thought it was the temporary residence of the woodcutter on the mountain, but I didn’t dare to go in and ask for directions...”

"But you still went in, right?" Fang Shijing smiled and looked at the so-called "elder of the Qin family" who exuded a demonic aura all over his body: "You are not the kind of person who shrinks back."

"I'm really not, but at that time, I starved to death outside because I didn't enter." Qin Xiangling shook his head: "I think I was a naive and kind child back then!"

"I leaned against the crack of the door and looked into the house, but found that I couldn't see anything at all, only a mass of black air... I had to climb the window again, but the window opened as soon as I pushed it..."

"And then?" Fang Shijing looked at the elder Qin's family who seemed to be immersed in memories, and asked, "What did you see?"

"Collection of books, elixir, carving of dragons, jade and phoenixes...resplendent and magnificent." Qin Xiangling murmured, "At that moment, I finally understood why that simple small building was called a forbidden area—"

"Immortality, established destiny, the law of time and space, reincarnation...that does not belong to this world...that is the palace of the gods."

"That library is connected to the realm of the gods."

"The mountain and sea secret realm is indeed a pure resource secret realm, but the things it connects to are not simple...I even thought of a little bit——"

"Whether it's the mountain and sea secrets or the place of the formation, they are not formed naturally, but are the same as the Tibetan Book Pavilion, the realm of the gods." Fang Shijing looked at the man in red and said in a deep voice.

"What the hell is this..." Taoyao circulated the depleted spiritual power on her body: "Master God! Are you playing tricks on me!"

"Ah?" The white-clothed Lord Shenming staggered out of the small hut: "What did you say?"

"Are you setting up an illusion again???"

"What illusion?" Lord Shenming rubbed his eyes: "I have been immersed in fine wine and food for the past two days, so I don't have the time to create an illusion. Hey, Xiao Taoyao, are you sick..."

It doesn't matter if Ula Ula doesn't listen to the words of Lord Shenming, but Taoyao maintains her weak peach tree form, stiff in place like a pen, and the wind blows over his head, and he can't even shake the branches - he was frightened stupid .

"I didn't say that, what's wrong with you?" Lord Shenming poked Taoyao's trunk: "Stupid?"

"Maybe...really..." Taoyao said stiffly: "I might have had a dream..."

For some reason, or maybe due to the exhaustion of mana, Taoyao felt that the face of the god in front of her was distorted for a while.

It's like the poor signal reception that the master of the gods said.

It might be an illusion, Tao Yao shook the branch, thinking to herself.

"Oh... I had a dream. That's really amazing." Shenming laughed with a drunken air.

"I, I, I met a child, he was very small and pitiful, so I saved him..." Looking at the face of God, "You tell me, I'm listening", Tao Yao told the story in detail, But he himself didn't know why, he subconsciously kept the matter of Guardian Zuo, and only talked about how he met Liu Shuhan, and how he changed from a child to the head of the family.Of course he knows that this is a kind of cheating, but when facing the gods, it is already very good that he can keep the demons.

Because he has been with Lord Shenming for so many years.Whether the moon is full or short, the tide ebbs and flows.

Lord Shenming is undoubtedly the person who understands him best in this world.

"...He's in the illusion now, I'm really worried about him. My lord, it must not be a dream. Is there any way you can send me back to him?"

"But he is a human after all. Too fragile, human beings are too fragile." Ignoring Tao Yao's question, Lord Shenming smiled indifferently.But Taoyao still felt a bit of sadness, like a flower missing the spring breeze, and a white bird missing its return date.

"Aren't you willing to send me back?" Tao Yao asked.

The god smiled, but did not speak.

"...You know it, right," Taoyao said, "I know you know..."

"Know what?" The man in white pinched a cleansing spell: "Taoyao, I am a god, of course I know everything."

This was the first time Taoyao saw a man who really regarded himself as a god.

Taoyao suddenly thought of a night long, long ago, when he was still very young, the Lord Shenming was drunk as usual and stumbled up from the bottom of the mountain. Taoyao with good eyes noticed the torch on his waist. Knife - that is a magic weapon that he rarely uses.

"A power that does not belong to this world...so do I." Lord Shenming lowered his head and stroked the scabbard wrapped in gold, and smiled a little.

"What's wrong with you?" Tao Yao shook the branch, trying to express the presence of the little monster: "Are you uncomfortable?"

"It's not difficult..." Lord Shenming leaned on Taoyao's side: "It's uncomfortable."

"It's hard." He suddenly raised his hand to cover his face: "It's hard."

Taoyao remembered that Lord Shenming cried all night, and when he woke up the next day his eyes were swollen like goldfish, he just leaned against her, telling herself in a very small voice——

"Taoyao, let me tell you, after you can transform into a human form, you must not establish contact with others."

"Why?" Tao Yao asked dryly.He felt a tightness in his throat, although he didn't have one yet.

He felt the overwhelming sadness.

"Because you are always the last one to die." Lord Shenming said little by little: "You are always the last one to leave in your life."

"Can't you help him a little bit?" Taoyao, who knew the result and hadn't gotten out of her memory, still asked: "That child is still a child..."

"I know," Lord Shenming lowered his head slightly: "I know."

"...But he is really pitiful." Tao Yao said, "Master God, don't you often make friends with humans?"

"That's right, that's why I'm always sad." Lord Shenming said softly.

Of course Taoyao knew what Lord Shenming meant, and of course she knew why this guy spent a lot of mana to pull himself back in the secret realm into his main body in the mountain—he was protecting himself.Many people say that human beings are a very powerful species. They have many incredible qualities. They are so strong that they can do things that monsters and gods can't do, and they are gentle enough to raise a small wild flower in the yard.But they're really fragile, like a thin eggshell -- vulnerable.

For gods and yokai, they are really too short.

Taoyao knew that Lord Shenming must have predicted some great risk, a risk that she couldn't escape even if she was present.Tao Yao knew that Liu Shuhan would definitely die in that illusion without him, and the one who killed him must not be the practitioner who came with him, but himself.

He will be killed by his own obsession.

"Too fragile. Too fragile." Something whispered in his ear.

"But even if you let me stay here." Tao Yao stared blankly at the god in front of her: "I will still be very sad."

"At least you won't die." Lord Shenming replied: "For human beings, our life is as long as heaven and earth. That child's obsession with rights and you doesn't need this secret realm, so he can't pass it How soon he will destroy himself."

"But...but..." Tao Yao anxiously wanted to refute, but found that she couldn't organize the words at all.Because there is nothing wrong with what Lord Shenming said - of course he knows what kind of person Liu Shuhan is.

"But..."

Let me help him.

There was such a voice in Taoyao's heart.

Please, even if it is just a day, an hour, or a moment, let me help him.

"Whether it is a god, a monster, or a human being. Whether it is ancient and long-lasting or short-lived and fragile, they cannot survive alone, and even the way home is the same-one day everyone will leave, sooner or later That's all."

"But everyone exists. Because I have experienced laughter and tears with others, I have faced loneliness and fear, and I have witnessed death, so I can be bound by the curse of 'name' in this world, so I am here. "

"Everyone is the same. It's warm. It's cold. Even my lord, you protect me because of these things."

"I'm sorry, Lord God," Tao Yao cried, "but for a moment, I really hated you."

"I hate myself too." Lord Shenming said with a smile, "I hate it so much that I wish the owner of this body would die immediately."
