The Spirit World

Chapter 131 Chapter This is the truth for me.

[There is no truly stupid person in this world]

[I once wondered why he was so stupid this time]

That's its sound.

Chang Yufeng felt dizzy and had a splitting headache, as if he had just woken up from a hangover.

He could only listen.

[It may be because of me, my memory control is confused... No, it should be because of them. The contract interfered with him. I didn't expect Chang Yinglan to be so cruel as to kill her own child! Hey, Lu Xinzhai, please don't look at me like that! What I said is the truth! ]

Is the person named Lu Xinzhai here too?

Who are they, after all?
[Okay, okay, it's indeed my fault. When he asked me for help, I was too weak. I'm just a stupid goldfish!]

[I said there are no stupid people, and I just said stupid goldfish! I was still a stupid goldfish at that time! Asshole Lu Xinzhai! You are still laughing! I can't laugh! He is like this! I am about to cry! ]

It has always been its sound.

【Oh...he's awake! 】

They are looking towards me.

"Ah~" Chang Yufeng sat up with difficulty. He held his forehead. The smell here was very unpleasant, and there was a familiar smell.

It is the smell of the sheepfold.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a bright light that made it almost impossible to see anything. Tears were forced out of my eyes. But I soon got used to it, and it was it that came into my sight. It had completely changed its appearance. Although it still looked the same as me, it was now wearing a black shirt of the Principality. The imperial clothes it had originally worn seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Next to it was a long-haired man who was also wearing a white shirt, but his body was full of faint light. This should be Lu Xinzhai.

They sat beside him, looking very happy, which seemed to aggravate Chang Yufeng's headache.

Looking down, I saw my own appearance. There was almost no change. The only thing that changed was the clothes. The special clothes made for Bai Lingshan were gone. Instead, there was a very small piece of coarse cloth. There was obviously something dirty on it. I didn't know what it was.

It's clearly February now, but there are cicadas chirping.

"Where is this place?"

Chang Yufeng could only accept it. Although it was impossible for them to be like old friends, it was not the first or second time that he had been kept in the dark.

Is he able to resist?
No.

Finally, if it can get along well with itself, everything will be fine.

should.

"Is this your first sentence? I thought you would say something else, such as how Lin'er is doing now. You followed Lin'er into the Tower of Babel like a madman. I thought..." It looked at itself with a mysterious smile on its face.

"Where are you going?" It looked at Chang Yufeng who was standing up shakily: "Lu Xinzhai, where is he going?"

The white-haired man shook his head.

Chang Yufeng stood up, feeling a little uncomfortable, and started to vomit.

"Damn! Lu Xinzhai, what's going on?" It was shocked.

"Maybe he has a rejection reaction to the time and space jump." The white-haired man finally spoke. There was some golden light on his long hair, which made his snow-white hair turn white.

"What's up?"

"No."

"That's good."

They kept talking to themselves, which made Chang Yufeng a little annoyed. The vomit was immediately absorbed by the golden ripples on the ground, or rather, swallowed up.

"What...are you...talking about?" Chang Yufeng calmed down a little, his voice trembling.

It glanced at Chang Yufeng, with the smile on its face still there.

"Well... you failed... so, enter again..."

"what?"

"Wait...you are not Yilongzhi, you are Changyufeng?" it said in surprise.

"What?" Chang Yufeng covered his stomach with one hand, then slowly sat down and collapsed on the ground.

"It's over! Lu Xinzhai! It's over!" It shook Lu Xinzhai madly.

"He is not Yilongzhi! Something went wrong! It's over, it's over!" it shouted, and Lu Xinzhai looked at Chang Yufeng helplessly.

Chang Yufeng frowned in pain. He responded to Lu Xinzhai, but he squinted his eyes and did not see Lu Xinzhai's full appearance.

"Where did you take me? Lin'er is still in that strange beam of light! I need to save her!"

"No...you don't want to go..." It suddenly calmed down, like a madman.

Sometimes crazy, sometimes quiet.

"No, I must go." Chang Yufeng sat up, but collapsed again in the golden light because of the pain.

"No, no, no, don't faint, you just woke up!" It crawled over and used great strength to straighten Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng looked very bad.

"Listen carefully, now, I have a lot of things to tell you." It sat lazily in the golden light. Just now, this light swallowed up Chang Yufeng's vomit.

"..." Chang Yufeng breathed out, and a strong sense of pain made his forehead sweat profusely.

"It has to start from something that happened a long time ago. It may be short, or it may be long." It looked at Chang Yufeng, and it put its hand on its face and wiped it.

What it said next made every nerve in Chang Yufeng tense.

【Three thousand years ago, in this spiritual world with nothing, the magic of time was not so scary. At that time, there were no gods or demons. There were only people who were willing to live in this beautiful spiritual world. We lived with them, shared afternoons with them, and traveled in this world together.

but,

may,

The greatest pleasure for people is to find the differences between others and themselves, and then let these differences penetrate into their hearts, build their own walls, place their spirits above others, and gain satisfaction.

They are not satisfied living in their own sky, land and sea.

They wanted more sky, they wanted more land, they even began to treat women like objects, bargaining with anyone who wanted them.

They began to divide the world into light and dark, they began to divide all races, and they began to call us demons.

And compare himself to a god.

Someone rebelled and became a leader, he led us in the rebellion, and at one point they wanted to reconcile through force.

The devil took up residence in their shrine, where he met the woman he loved most.

Can you imagine it? A great leader was defeated by a woman.

Their greedy nature has never been extinguished. They conspired secretly to overthrow everything. The leader of the devil was restrained and betrayal followed.

What kind of disaster was that? I cannot tell you, but there appeared in the world seven deep wells filled with chains.

The leader managed to escape, and on his deathbed, he used his most powerful power of time and space to escape into the void. His beloved woman was punished and fell into an endless cycle of life and death.】

[I am in disaster, I am the master, he said this, but the scars made him weak and he fell into an endless sleep. He didn't know when he would wake up, nor when he would die.]

"What does this have to do with me? I am Chang Yufeng, not the leader you mentioned!" Chang Yufeng said, putting all his energy into this answer. However, even so, this answer was frighteningly light.

"Of course you are not, but, I'm sorry, as Chang Yinglan's son, this is the fate you must bear." The white-haired man spoke. He was Lu Xinzhai. Chang Yufeng then saw his face. His face looked a little old, but handsome, as if it was quickly changing between adulthood and old age.

"my mother?"

"Your mother left you a book, didn't she?" Lu Xinzhai said.

"No, Lu Xinzhai, you may not believe it, but that book is a wordless book. There is nothing on it." It spoke frivolously and spread its hands.

"..." Chang Yufeng didn't say anything. When he got the book and the blue fish, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. But the book and the blue fish were empty. He felt lost like a drowned dog, shivering with cold. So ever since he...

It seemed as if it had guessed something, and was so happy that it didn't know why. An apple suddenly appeared in its hand. In just a moment, its cheeks bulged out like a squirrel hiding food.

"For some reason, Chang Yinglan met the leader, that is him." Lu Xinzhai looked at it. It was eating fruit and looking at Chang Yufeng.

"We made a contract with your mother. No, to be more precise, with you." It chewed the apple, its mouth moving, and its face still had a childish look.

"There's a part of me in you. I hate that part, so I gave it to you."

"Why? Why would my mother do this?" Chang Yufeng was in so much pain that he was about to cry. In fact, he wondered why his parents who were no longer in this world, or who he would never see again, had disappeared and would harm his child in this way.

Harm, Chang Yufeng was thinking of harm. He was in great pain now.

Lin'er was waiting in that invisible "pillar of light". It couldn't be said that she was waiting, because she was falling, without stopping for a moment. But she didn't feel any pain. Instead, she felt very peaceful.

He needed to be rescued, no, at least he needed to get there right now.

Then figure out what happened.

"It's not what your mother wanted to do, but it was the first-generation head of your Bailing Mountain who asked you to do this. He is truly a genius."

Chang Yufeng looked at it. Behind it, there was a shining golden light, but he couldn't see what was behind it.

"We agreed to solve everything, including the gods." After eating the apple, it smeared it on its body, Lu Xinzhai's body, but it was very careful, slowly and secretly smeared it on his body, while Lu Xinzhai was not paying attention. "Why..." Chang Yufeng hadn't said it yet, he wanted to ask why.

"Because they know the truth of the matter, just like you."

"I don't know."

"It seems that you really don't have the talent to hear clearly the story I just told. I always thought it was very straightforward, and not the fable I told the first generation of the family head..." It looked at Lu Xinzhai, who patted his trousers and said nothing.

"Well, to sum up, we need revenge! Through you! Revenge!" It sat upright, but suddenly tilted its body and returned to the laziness of eating the apple just now.

"I am your substitute?" Chang Yufeng thought of this word. In fact, he still wanted to use the word "possession".

He had always thought it was a case of possession.

"No, you are me and I am you."

"I……"

"You do not understand?"

"Yes... I am a time traveler from Earth. You mentioned this word."

"Well, you are indeed a time traveler, but it's not such an exciting time travel. You have been frozen for a hundred years. Your body is in the spirit world, but your soul is on Earth. It's just that now the two have merged into one."

"for……"

"Why do you do this? I don't know."

"That……"

"So what's going on now? Let's talk about that woman again." It slapped its forehead, as if relieved: "Oh! God! Finally getting to the point! I'm almost dying of exhaustion, Lu Xinzhai, I really should crack open his brain to see what's wrong with him."

"Hahaha, I think he's pretty good... Not as violent as Yi Longzhi. Even though he looks stupid now, he's pretty cute, isn't he?"

It shook its head and looked at Chang Yufeng, who was scratching his belly in pain.

"That's the problem. Yilongzhi, that part of me, influenced you. You became violent, and it wasn't until you came to the spirit world that you started to get a little better. And Lin'er, no, Chen Lin, Chen Lin was the one who was punished. Yilongzhi wanted to help her escape the cycle of life and death, so..."

"wheel……"

It looked like Chang Yufeng was going to ask about Chen Lin's reincarnation again. It actually leaned back in shock, with its eyes wide open.

"Oh my God! Lu Xinzhai, come here!" It collapsed in the golden light with its limbs spread out.

"Lin'er's reincarnation is the punishment of the gods. Even if she betrayed him and helped them punish him, she couldn't escape that punishment." Lu Xinzhai's face changed from a teenager to an old man, and his voice was also in between. He spoke slowly and affectionately: "The gods didn't know about Yilongzhi's resurrection, but Yilongzhi loved her deeply. He wanted to be by her side in every life and help her find a way to get rid of the suffering of reincarnation. In an accidental life, he found the answer, which was the devil's resurrection stone to complete Lin'er's incomplete soul. That was the key for Lin'er to get rid of the suffering of reincarnation. This is also one of the reasons why we must kill them."

"Yilongzhi failed?" Chang Yufeng said, placing his hand on his stomach, his voice hoarse from the pain.

"Yes, no matter how reluctant, this is indeed the fact. Yilongzhi has failed time and time again. Because he is only, a part." Lu Xinzhai looked at it lying in the golden light.

"He has no way to defeat the demon, just like you. Remember Chen Lin said you were too weak? That's it. If you want to snatch their resurrection stones, the only way is to kill them. Disaster, that is, Chuchu you met in the Tower of Babel, is the only one willing to give you the resurrection stone. It can be considered a kind of luck. However, if it was Chen Lin, only death would be waiting for her."

It turned over and lay on its side in the golden light.

"Chu Chu, she's actually quite cute, but a little crazy. I don't really like crazy people, you know, I'm crazy myself."

Chang Yufeng looked at it, and it pouted like a naughty child. His pain slowly disappeared, or to be more precise, the pain was over.

"So, Yi Longzhi has always been in reincarnation?"

"No... Long Zhi is not in reincarnation." Lu Xinzhai replied.

"I mean, Yi Longzhi is in Lin'er's reincarnation?"

"No... he didn't. It was because I performed the time-space jump that Yi Longzhi kept looking for a way out in Lin'er's life. Because in this life, the demon kings began to become active and were about to break through the restrictions of the Demon Sealing Well. It became easier to snatch their resurrection stones, because for them, if they lifted the seal, then the resurrection stones would be dispensable. However, he failed again and again, again and again." At the end, Lu Xinzhai was a little sad: "In the end, we had to seal his memory and let him try. He would not be defeated by the pain of repeated failures."

"But I am not a dragon." Chang Yufeng was completely well now. He sat up and watched it turn over again.

"Yes, I think so. The memory reconstruction failed. Yi Longzhi did not appear. You are still you, Chang Yufeng." Lu Xinzhai said slowly.

"Then where did Yilongzhi go? If I had those memories, would I still be myself?" Chang Yufeng said, looking at Lu Xinzhai.

"We have no way of knowing. But, you are you, and you will probably never become him. As for why this happened, it may have something to do with the imperfect reconstruction of memories." Lu Xinzhai looked at him, completely different from when he looked at it. It felt less gentle, but more trusting.

"...Lin'er, how are you now?" Chang Yufeng asked. No matter what, he hoped it was like this, exactly the same as they said.

"If you are talking about Lin'er who was in the Tower of Babel, she should be dead by now..." Lu Xinzhai spoke slowly, but there was no change in his expression. His face, which would age from time to time, suddenly stopped at the state of old age.

"But you don't need to worry. We have already traveled through time and space and returned to the past. At this time, Lin'er has just arrived in this world. We have returned to the past. We don't need to worry about what is happening over there."

"..."

If, I mean, if, Yi Longzhi knew that Lin'er died again, how would he feel?
Chang Yufeng clenched his fist and hammered it on the ground. The golden light there dissipated and dust was stirred up.

Chang Yufeng didn’t know whether Lin’er really did what they said, but just hearing it made him feel angry.

And sad.

"You need to make a choice now."

Lu Xinzhai’s face stopped at that of a young boy, so childish.

"We have time-traveled to eleven years ago. This is also my limit. We need to snatch the resurrection stones of the seven demons and repair Lin'er's soul fragments. We need to complete the requirements of the dragon. However, this road is extremely difficult."

"You have no choice." It also sat up and looked at Chang Yufeng: "You are not Long Zhi now, but Chang Yufeng. For Lin'er, you must do this."

"..."

Again, there is no choice.

"I don't want to. I need to find Lin'er! I don't need any time travel! Lin'er is in danger now! How can I just ignore it! No matter if it is eleven years ago or not! Lin'er is in mortal danger now! Why not save her! Even if the ending will fail! Even if I might be in danger! But, I can't just watch her die while I'm here and can do nothing."

Chang Yufeng spoke very quickly.

I am not very familiar with it, and the number of times it appears can be counted on one hand, and none of them are good things.

Now, Lin'er is in danger! He must go.

"You are too weak... my Chang Yufeng. This is the reason. It's not that we don't let you go." It said coldly: "Death is not something that really scares people. Loss is. If you die with nothing, then what is there to be afraid of? However, once you have something, you will start to be afraid, afraid of death that will make you lose everything."

"Lin'er is fighting against her own fate. You can say she accepts this fate, but she still looks for the resurrection stone without hesitation and tries to resist." Lu Xinzhai continued with its words: "We have no choice. Everyone has no choice. Isn't it?"

"I..." Chang Yufeng clenched his fists.

"I don't accept it. This is totally an escape! No matter if I am Yi Longzhi or Chang Yufeng, I believe that neither of you will abandon Lin'er." Chang Yufeng spoke loudly, and the cicada's chirping began to become smaller.

“……”The two of them didn’t speak.

"Please don't play this trick. Even if I die, I will save Lin'er. I have ten thousand choices, and I will go to her ten thousand times. I will save her at all costs."

Lin'er, who traveled through time with me,
The child who has always been well-behaved,

The cat-like girl.

They all need protection.

The fate she bears sounds so unfair.

She has been alone, and has experienced ups and downs over the past ten years.

I shouldn't, and couldn't, just remain indifferent when I heard the news of her danger.

I needed to go, I needed to rescue, I needed to talk to her.

"You are not Yi Longzhi."

Only a dragon would do such a thing.

It looked at Chang Yufeng, its eyes glowing white like stars and the moon.

"You only lived with her for a few years. A person starts to have memories at the age of six, but during this period of time, the speed of forgetting is faster than that of a fish. From the age of six to ten, how many memories do you have about her? Even if I met you in the spirit world, you only spent more than half a year together. How many times did you talk to each other? Your feelings are just the friendship between gentlemen, and there is not much to be nostalgic about, to make you risk your life. What's more, the time jump has already happened, and there is no difference between Lin'er here and Lin'er over there." It said quietly, as if it was singing a very old ballad.

Chang Yufeng slowly lowered his head.

silence.

The chirping of cicadas became more and more audible to his ears.

Is it really as it says?

Is there no difference?
"No...you are wrong." Chang Yufeng's decisive answer made everyone here look at him.

Whether it is the Lin'er here or the Lin'er there, the biggest difference is that one is still alive and the other is about to die.

"How can I give up my feelings for her? Although I don't have many memories of Lin'er, my feelings for her are as strong as family affection. I see her happy and sad. The recent changes in her personality come from the heavy memories of reincarnation. Her small figure, sitting on the stone steps of Bailing Mountain, is so thin and lonely. I hate myself for not understanding her pain earlier. I hate myself for not retaining her. She carries such heavy memories alone. The pain of life after life comes to her all at once. All I can do is watch from afar and say those pale and powerless words. I hate my weakness. Every day and night when she left, I tried to become stronger. When I found her, she had become another character. She was burdened by her nine lifetime memories. She called my name so coldly. Now I understand that even so, she, who carries such emotions, still tries to deceive me silently and is willing to try to listen to my lies about wanting to find her way back to the present world. She asked me to escape, how can I really escape?"

……

So, no matter what, I need to save her, there is no reason.

Why is it something that only a dragon would do?
I am Chang Yufeng,

This kind of people,

Also.
