The silver mirror hung quietly in the air, casting a silver glow.
Its size has exceeded that of Xiao Ruyun himself, so it is absolutely impossible - with Xiao Ruyun's original magical cultivation, it is absolutely impossible.
The silver mirror should not expand larger than its prototype. That is the ability of the water mirror held by the elders. Only the water mirror that can absorb moisture from the air can expand larger than the original body. The silver mirror practiced by Xiao Ruyun The mirror telescopic technique can only shrink the silver mirror to the size of the mouth and enlarge it to the size of the prototype, and no more. In the Xiao family, which is considered the most famous family in the three states, she is not considered a junior. A character who doesn’t take action! Among the silver mirror sacrificial techniques taught in the family, the advanced ones only have more functions, not bigger ones!
But she can do this easily now!
Because, according to those people, she is already a true immortal.
How is this possible! However, the easily unfolded silver mirror and the strangeness on the body seem to indicate this, especially the latter. At first glance, the current body is no different from the original one. If you look closely, you may not be able to see much difference, but As the owner of this body, I have truly understood the reason why true immortals spend hundreds of years in seclusion before and after their ascension to immortality!
Unspeakable pain spread all over the body. Even if he blinked his eyes, he had to brace himself up 120,000 times. And it seemed that with such a slight blow, the whole person shook as if he was about to fall apart. It was not really shaking, but it was shaking. Her senses are now a hundred times sharper, and she can detect how fragile the modified body is, and how fragile the bones and flesh that have been forcibly spliced together are. She doesn't look like a living person now, doesn't look like a monk, and she doesn't look like the true immortal she always thought. Instead, she looks like...
Like what?
Destroyed and reshaped by external forces, it was not just her body that was spliced together, but also her memories. She could no longer remember the appearance of her parents or the appearance of the courtyard. Of course, she did have parents, in Qiyun Peak. Waiting for her, it was indeed the courtyard where she had grown up since she was a child. There were servants and an orange cat, but she couldn't remember its appearance at all. The orange cat - maybe it had a face, and whether it had three legs or four legs. ? I don’t remember, the servant looks like a puppet lady, or a puppet lady from another family. There should be a wall in the courtyard...
There are also some memories that she has long forgotten, but now it's like the warehouse where these useless things were stored has finally collapsed, and everything inside is attacking her together.
Her little cousin had long since grown into a vulgar and disgusting figure. All she wanted to do was to share more things with Xiao Ruyun after she died. When she was a child, she used to be so round and cute. He looked clumsy, unable to catch the butterfly. He found a chrysalis in the bushes, and excitedly came to show it to his cousin: "Guess, is it conscious or unconscious?"
"The butterfly sleeps in the chrysalis, so it is naturally unconscious." I replied impatiently.
"It's sentient!" She happily showed it to her. With a gentle touch, the tail of the chrysalis trembled, as if she was a little proud of having finally won over her smart cousin.
"Ah, well, that's it." He said it, but he had already looked at the explanations of the magic spells in the textbooks. Cultivation of immortals was so important, how could he have time to play with his cousin?
This was the next day. No, I thought no, I had forgotten it at that time, but now I can see it more clearly than my parents’ faces. Even the bits of green my cousin rubbed on the leaves with her fingers in order to get the chrysalis are clear. Chu, why? No, even the dots of yellow spots on the chrysalis were clearly visible. She could even count how many spots there were in total. It was obvious that she had only half a glance at it! Why! Why exactly! She remembered these things so clearly and in detail, but she couldn’t remember whether her parents were round or flat, who their last names were, what they said to her, or what she gave herself before going out. She only vaguely remembered that they were human beings. Both have parents, and it seems that I also have two of them - two, I should have them, they seem to be alive, no, they should be dead...
Why! Why do you remember this?
When she was in agony and madness, another memory came to her involuntarily, but it was of her sitting in the Shuanghe County government library, smiling softly, with several yellowed and brittle pages scattered in front of her.
She still vaguely remembered this situation. When Xiao Ruyun was an official in Shuanghe, in order to understand the thoughts of ordinary people, she also read some books in the treasury. Some of them were extremely simple pictures, depicting the "immortal" in the author's mind. , their shapes are different, some are extremely terrifying, some are no different from ordinary people, but they are decorated with colorful clouds to indicate their identity, and some are painted with makeup, dressed in red and green, like women selling jokes in the market, the newer they are, The more obvious the joke became, I occasionally turned to a very old book, but the immortals drawn in it had a different look - they were all "feathered people".
When Xiao Ruyun saw those pictures, her heart moved, because when she was attending classes at Xiao's house, she had heard that the real immortals were also called feathered people in ancient times. When she looked at those pictures again, every one of them was covered in feathers like a feather duster. She has a pair of chicken wings on her back, her painting style is crude, and her characters are extremely outrageous. No matter how unsatisfactory she is in the Xiao family, she is still the heir to one of the families. You see, I have always seen a few pictures of meeting famous real immortals from other families. How can there be even half a feather growing on the body? So I laughed it off, thinking that it was just the Shuanghe ancients who had heard it from somewhere and painted it based on their own imagination.
But she never thought that she and those Shuanghe ancients were as stupid as ordinary people. When they heard the word "Yu Ren", no, maybe it was worse. The Shuanghe ancients actually painted according to the words and did some things related to interacting with immortals. The dream of Taoism, she sat in the Xiao family where the real immortals were in charge, and there were elders teaching them, but she just heard about these things and never asked for details!
True immortal, feathered man, butterfly, feathered, but it turns out that it is like this!
It turns out that the true immortals went into seclusion before and after their ascension to immortality, not because they were bravely improving in immortal arts, but because their bodies and spirits that had been reshaped at that time were too fragile and could not withstand any external force or internal disturbance! That retreat cave is the chrysalis shell of a butterfly! Butterflies emerge from pupae, monks experience ascension to immortality in special caves!
The butterfly that emerges has only a hundred days left to live, while the true immortal who ascends to immortality can enjoy eternal life - and - this pain that spreads all over the limbs and bones, and penetrates into the seven orifices of the Dantian? This memory is confused and lost?
"Do I have to go through a hundred years to stop this pain?" she asked.
"A hundred years? Probably—and then you get used to it!"
"Then - will I still be able to remember what my parents look like then?" she asked with all her strength.
"What does it matter? It's been a hundred years, can you still be alive?"
