Dream Maker [Rebirth]

Que Jinxian's move was really beyond Ji Wuzhou's expectation, and finally he couldn't help raising his lowered eyelids, his eyes were full of strangeness and inexplicability.

Que Jinxian didn't pay much attention to it, turned his head to look aside, and said slowly in a tone that reminded him of the past: "A long time ago, there was a fairy island on the East China Sea, and there was a fairy on the island. I don't know how old I have lived."

"One day, a group of magpies suddenly swarmed on the edge of the island. The immortal went to have a look and found a baby floating here with the water, so he picked him up and brought him back to the island. The immortal raised him up carefully, Accept him as an apprentice and teach him everything you know."

"Eighteen years later, the child finally grew up, and the fairy told him that he is the natural son of spiritual energy, and is also the next owner of this fairy island. All disasters and illnesses. But before getting these, he must first go to the human continent to retrieve some things, and only after he completes can he become the real master of the fairy island."

"The child did as he said, and took the four treasures given to him by the immortal to the human continent. With their help, he successfully retrieved what the immortal said. Finally, he returned to the fairy island and took the treasure from the immortal. The token of the island owner, succeeding the immortal as the new owner of the island."

The story is not lengthy, it is even very short.

After finishing speaking, Que Jinxian turned his gaze back to Ji Wuzhou, as if waiting for him to think about it.

Many of the fuzzy images involved in this story are extremely clear to the ears of today's Lu Ci - "Immortal Island" refers to Xihezhou, "Island Master" refers to the spirit guard, "Four Treasures" refers to the Quartet Spirit Tool, And in the end, the "retrieved thing" is undoubtedly evil.

However, Ji Wuzhou back then didn't even know the existence of spiritual weapons and evil spirits, so those ambiguous references to him sounded like the so-called secret magic weapons that often appeared in folk scripts.

However, even though he didn't know what "treasure" and "retrieved things" referred to, other points in the story were obvious enough, and Ji Wuzhou soon had a clue: "Immortal Island is a secret place, and that child is Master, the immortal is... Master?"

"Not bad." Que Jinxian smiled happily, as if he was very satisfied with his judgment.

However, Ji Wuzhou, who received an affirmative answer, seemed more confused than before—he understood the story, and the identity of the person in the story was clear, but he couldn't figure out what the master said.

Why do you talk about the past in a good way?

Wouldn’t you want to use the experience of “becoming an island owner to find things first” to explain the truth of “the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold”?

Que Jinxian naturally saw his bewilderment, and said with a smile: "Do you not understand why a teacher would say such things?"

Ji Wuzhou didn't deny it, he really didn't understand, at least he didn't believe that the master went around in such a big circle just to explain such a simple and commonplace truth.

Que Jinxian didn't intend to whet his appetite, and directly announced: "The reason why I tell you this story for the teacher is because the changes in the secret realm now happened in this story. It was not caused by bad luck, but started from the moment the next island owner arrived on the coast of the island."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ci, who was watching the memory, was struck by lightning in an instant.

Both Chunmian and Master's changes began when Ji Wuzhou was three years old, and only him and Tongsang were the only children who arrived at the secret realm that year. In addition, the "natural son" also had no father and no mother, so the only possibility The only one left is... himself? !

Ji Wuzhou in the memory picture was also surprised when he heard the words, but after being surprised, he quickly calmed down and deduced the conclusion: "Is it the child who was dragged ashore by the spirit deer without a wooden sign?"

"Yes." Magpie approached the immortal.

Resounding, the final word.

Lu Ci no longer needs to have any doubts.

However, at this moment, he has no interest in the word "island owner" at all, and only thinks about one thing——

It was because of him that Chunmian faded, and Master's gray hair was also caused by him, but Ji Wuzhou suffered so many years of harsh treatment and exclusion for no reason? !

At this moment, he almost didn't know how to describe his mood, he just felt as if a huge boulder had crashed down in his heart, making it extremely difficult for him to even breathe.

At the same time, a great question also followed: Since the master had already revealed the truth to Ji Wuzhou at this time, why did Ji Wuzhou's situation remain unchanged for so many years?

Ji Wuzhou in the memory picture was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and he calmly said after a long time: "Master told me this to let me know that it's not my fault?"

"More than that," Que Jinxian said, "If you need, my teacher can come forward to clarify for you in person."

Ji Wuzhou was startled for a moment, but he heard Que Jinxian change the subject and said: "But the matter of the island owner is of great importance, and it cannot be leaked out for now. Even if I clarify for you, the teacher can only avoid the important ones, and tell them that spring sleep and white hair are both important things." Not because of you, but because of him."

Hearing this, Ji Wuzhou fell into silence again, looking down at the ground in front of him, as if carefully weighing the meaning of the words in his heart.

The meaning is actually very simple -

The master could explain it to him, but he couldn't tell the truth. At most, he could only remove the name of "God of Plague" that was mistakenly attributed to him, and let the child take the crown himself.

However, neither he nor the child was actually at fault, and Master's so-called clarification was not a clarification at all, it was nothing more than changing the person who was responsible for the blame.

Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled: "Forget it."

Que Jinxian didn't seem to be surprised to hear this answer, but he still asked with great interest, "Why?"

Ji Wuzhou lightly wrote: "Anyway, I'm used to staying in this quagmire. It's just a few more years. It's meaningless to drag someone down."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ci tightly closed his eyes.

No wonder.

No wonder Ji Wuzhou was still surrounded by rumors in those years, no wonder his situation has not improved at all.

It was he himself who gave up the chance to ask Master to clarify for him, gave up the chance to get out of that quagmire!

After hearing his words, Que Jinxian was a bit confused, and was about to say something more, when he heard a soft "click" outside the door, he turned his head and said, "Who? "

Ji Wuzhou hurriedly got up and opened the door and went out. After looking around very quickly, he didn't find anyone, but there were many pine cones scattered on the ground under the corner of the eaves. falling from the pine tree.

Ji Wuzhou turned around and walked back to the door, Quejinxian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Nobody?"

Ji Wuzhou nodded, but stopped stepping forward, stood on the spot and said straightforwardly: "If Master has no other orders, I will go back first."

Que Jinxian was a little startled, but he didn't keep him any longer, stood up and patted the dust in his hands, saying: "Go."

Ji Wuzhou turned and left, Que Jinxian took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, looking thoughtfully at his retreating back.

……

Lu Ci, who was watching from the sidelines, had already forgotten where he was. It wasn't until the scene in front of him came to an end that he finally realized in a daze that he was in Hongye Peak, in the stone house on the top of the mountain.

The bottom of his heart was still depressed, but when he came back to his senses, he was suddenly a little unsure of Ji Yuanchen's intention for letting him read this memory.

——Is it to let me know how many injustices Ji Wuzhou suffered back then?Or is it to let me know that I am the next guardian?

However, what does this have to do with Ji Wuzhou's injury?What does it have to do with what he said earlier, "it's up to you to blame"?

At this moment, Luci suddenly felt the Wanling staff in his hand turn suddenly, and Ji Yuanchen manipulated the staff again without hesitation to open up another memory!

The picture in front of him fluctuated suddenly, and changed into another scene in an instant. Lu Ci took a closer look and was surprised to find that he had just seen this scene not long ago.

——Under the spring sleep, the mirror pool secret room.

Not far ahead were those murals with aura floating, and at this moment Ji Wuzhou, who was drenched all over, was walking towards the murals step by step.

——This is clearly the memory after Ji Wuzhou accidentally opened the secret room ten years ago, and it is also the memory that Lu Ci has already seen.

Lu Ci turned his head and was about to tell Ji Yuanchen this, but unexpectedly Ji Yuanchen didn't give him a chance to speak: "Look."

Lu Ci had no choice but to turn around and continue reading.

Ji Wuzhou's behavior in the picture is exactly the same as what Lu Ci saw before. First, he walked to the murals, looked at the five murals one by one, and finally stopped at the end of the murals, frowning slightly and thinking.

The spiritual energy floating on the mural fluctuated, rushing towards Ji Wuzhou like what Lu Ci saw last time.

However, at this moment, Lu Ci suddenly felt that the rotation of the staff in his hand stopped abruptly, the picture in front of him froze for an instant, and the spiritual energy rushing towards Ji Wuzhou suddenly stopped in the air just a short distance away from him!

The next moment, the spiritual energy quickly approached this direction as if being pulled by a magic staff, and quickly zoomed in and zoomed in until it completely enveloped Luci's body!

In an instant, there was a sharp pain in Lu Ci's brain as if some kind of external force had been forcibly injected, and then his thoughts suddenly became clear, and a memory suddenly appeared in his mind!

——That is the memory left by the master on the mural, and it is also the memory relayed by Ji Wuzhou at the side when Lu Ci explored the memories.

At that time, most of Ji Wuzhou's narration was about the origin of the Sifang spirit weapon and the duties of the guardian, and only mentioned a few words about the experience of the master's recovery of evil spirits.

However, when Lu Ci personally touched this memory, he suddenly discovered that the "master's experience" passed by Ji Wuzhou at that time was actually the most important part of this memory!

……

8000 years ago.

Master Que Jinxian took the Quartet Spirit Artifacts to the Human Continent, traveling around to take back the scattered Xie Shou little by little.

It is extremely difficult to take back the evil life, but what is even more difficult is to gather them together and store them.

Ordinary utensils can't trap Xieshou at all, even the strongest copper and iron can't resist its erosion, the only thing that can keep Xieshou in it is the human spirit gate.

However, if you want to use the spirit gate to store evil life, you must first transform it into a form, and once the spirit gate is transformed into substance, you will bear the risk of being destroyed by external forces-if it is destroyed, then not only will escape from it. The stored evil life, even the life that originally belonged to him will also pass away!

This is a choice that every spirit guard has to go through. Before becoming a true "island owner" and having a lifespan of thousands of years, he must first choose whether to take on this risk that may cost him his life. risk.

However, it is clear that all previous spirit guards have made the same choice, and Master Que Jinxian is no exception.

He turned his spiritual gate into a forming tool, stored the evil longevity found everywhere, and was extremely lucky to find all the evil longevity without the spiritual gate being damaged at all.

Although it took many years and went through untold hardships, fortunately, there was no danger in the end.

After returning to Xihe Continent, Que Jinxian and the master who guarded there suppressed the evil spirits back under the mirror pool with the four-way spiritual weapon.

After the completion of the work, the master finally told Que Jinxian that from today onwards he is the real master of the secret realm.

However, Que Jinxian at that time was a little at a loss.

Is this the Lord of the Mysteries?

Didn't it mean that there are still some "island owner tokens" that need to be handed over?

Shigong chuckled, looked at the bright red finger flute in his hand and said, "Didn't I give it to you a long time ago?"

Only then did Que Jinxian know that the finger flute that was given to him by his master as a birthday gift when he was young was actually the so-called island owner's token!

It was only then that Master told him that since the moment he chose to transform the Spirit Gate into a tool in the Human Continent, his Spirit Gate has already been connected with this finger flute—every bit of evil in the Spirit Gate Longevity, the mana of the finger flute will increase by one point. When all the evil longevity is recovered, the mana of the finger flute will reach its peak. Only in this way can the power of the token be opened, giving the guardian a life span of 8000 years and protection from disasters. The protection from his illness made him the real master of the secret realm!

Accept its dangers and enjoy its blessings.

If you want to take it, you must first give it.

These are the last two sentences that Master left to Master Que Jinxian, and it is also the end of Master's entire memory.

……

Wan Ling's staff turned, and the picture gradually faded away.

The thread of memory circled back, and the scene in front of him returned to its original state.

The lights in the room are silent, only the sound of ticking and ticking in the corner of the wall.

Lu Ci slowly lowered his head and looked at Fu Ling between his fingers, and finally understood why Ji Yuanchen wanted him to see these two memories, and understood what Ji Yuanchen meant by "it's his fault".

——Turn the spirit gate into a former and take back the scattered evil life.

Ji Wuzhou not only overstepped the mission that should have been shouldered by Lu Ci, but also forcibly divided the "dangerousness" and "juanyou" that should have coexisted into two, and the danger was undertaken by himself, but the jubilation was left to Luci!

The bright red of the finger flute was so dazzling that it hurt Lu Ci's eyes, and he couldn't help but frowned deeply and closed his eyes. His Adam's apple rolled and rolled, and he felt his heart was burning hot like falling into a raging fire. But the pain was unbearable.

After a long time, he finally opened his eyes slowly and looked at Ji Wuzhou who was lying quietly on the couch with a pale complexion.

The phrase "it's up to me" that Ji Yuanchen said was not a sarcasm, and now Lu Ci completely understands his feelings - it is out of the resentment and frustration of a father who has misbehaved with his children.

Ji Yuanchen can know those two memories so well, it means that even if he has never read them, he must have heard Ji Wuzhou mention them.He knew all the ins and outs, and knew the whole story of Ji Wuzhou's decision. He might have tried his best to dissuade him from opposing him, but he couldn't stop him from choosing to go to the mountain when he knew that there were tigers in the mountains.

So when seeing Lu Ci coming with him on his back, and seeing him finally pay the price for his stubbornness, Ji Yuanchen's depression can be imagined. Unaware of everything he caused, this undoubtedly added fuel to the fire for Ji Yuanchen.

——Rather than accusing Ji Wuzhou of the phrase "you have to blame yourself", it is more like expressing your dissatisfaction with Luci's ignorance.

Lu Ci understands such dissatisfaction, and deeply feels that he should bear such dissatisfaction.He is extremely grateful to Ji Yuanchen for allowing him to see those two memories today, so that he will not continue to be ignorant, and continue to let Ji Wuzhou's efforts be silently hidden.

"Uncle," Lu Ci said softly, he knew that no matter how dissatisfied and depressed Ji Yuanchen was, he was still Ji Wuzhou's father, and he would never sit idly by Ji Wuzhou's life and death anyway, "Can you save him? Is it?"

Ji Yuanchen was putting the put away Wanling staff back to Ji Wuzhou's side, he paused for a moment when he heard this, and then said coldly without raising his head: "It's not me who can save him, but you."

"Me?" Lu Ci was surprised, but the surprise was nothing but the surprise, the word "can be saved" alone made him forget about other things, and asked quickly, "How can I save him?"

Ji Yuanchen turned his head, his eyes were as cold as before: "Give back to him what was taken from him."
