Aguan climbed out of bed and walked out of the passage. The door to Lin Shan's room next door was still ajar, and Lin Shan's weak voice could already be heard: "Aguan...is that you?"
Lin Shan's voice sounded a little different from the previous confidence and calmness, a little timid and weak.
"Huh?" Aguan felt puzzled and distressed. He opened the door and entered Lin Shan's room.
Lin Shan was lying on the bed when she saw Aguan come in, struggling, as if she wanted to sit up, but it was difficult because of her weakness.
"Hel me up... please?" Lin Shan's face was pale and her voice was weak.
Aguan quickly stepped forward and helped Lin Shan into a sitting position, putting a pillow upright behind her back.
"It's really bad. The injury is on my back. I can't even sit up..." Lin Shan smiled bitterly and touched her back, which seemed to be in great pain.
"Taibai Xingye said that your injury will heal soon." Aguan said comfortingly.
"How was your tripod practice today?" Lin Shan nodded.
"It's going very smoothly. Both of you are very good at the preparation. With them training with me, I will definitely make rapid progress." Seeing Lin Shan's pale face, Aguan asked, "It's so late, why don't you go to bed earlier?"
"I don't know how you are practicing, so I can't put my mind at ease..." Lin Shan's eyes were a little hollow.
"I'll pour you a glass of water." Aguan heard Lin Shan's bitter voice and saw that her lips were a little cracked, so he stood up to pour her some water, but Lin Shan had already held his hand. He only felt that Lin Shan's hands were cold and clammy, as if she was sweating.
Lin Shan looked at Aguan and her voice trembled: "Are you leaving?"
"Huh? I'll help you pour water." Aguan was stunned.
"You still have to leave me...finally..." Lin Shan's eyes were blank and she held her hands tighter.
Aguan was a little stunned. He wanted to pat Lin Shan on the shoulder, but then he raised his left hand and remembered that it was still wrapped in a round plaster. He quickly said: "I... I'm not leaving, I want to pour water for you!"
"Well..." Lin Shan was quiet, as if she had come back to her senses, and murmured: "I just... also had a nightmare..."
Aguan walked to a low cabinet and poured water while smiling: "You can control dreams, but can you also have nightmares?"
Lin Shan was silent for a long time, and then said: "Maybe he was injured and his strength became weaker..."
Aguan handed the water to Lin Shan, and when he saw Lin Shan looking at him blankly, as if she was worried, he suddenly felt very reluctant to let go. He felt that this look in his eyes seemed familiar.
I seem to have seen it somewhere.
It's a beautiful place.
Lin Shan turned her head away, drank water, and said quietly: "I worry about you every day... I'm afraid something will happen to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with the expectations of the gods. Even if the war is in a stalemate, I still worry about you from time to time. You. I tried my best to make you happy... I did everything she could do for you; I didn't let go of anything she missed... But... in spite of this... you still... ⋯Or..." When Lin Shan said this, she paused and shed tears, "I think you will leave eventually..."
Aguan felt an inexplicable excitement surge in his heart. He held Lin Shan's hand, but felt that Lin Shan's hand was still very cold and clammy. He smiled bitterly and asked: "Will I leave? Where to go?"
Lin Shan remained silent, her eyes flashed and her voice trembled. "If you were given a chance to choose... would you like me to accompany you, or would you like her to accompany you?"
"She...what she...?" Aguan stuttered a little.
"Sister Pianpian." Lin Shan said.
Aguan didn't expect Lin Shan to ask such a question, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Before meeting Tai Sui, Lin Shan was his colleague when he was working. At that time, he had a crush on Lin Shan and knew that nothing would happen between him and her.
After Tai Sui appeared, many things happened. The bizarre encounters that followed and the new life he started almost completely separated him from his past life and divided him into two. From then on, the youthful secret love for Lin Shan gradually became a vague memory buried in the heart.
Pianpian walked into his life like a fairy descending to earth, occupying almost all of his life at the beginning of a new stage. They were also teachers, friends, and companions.
At that time, Aguan really felt that he had fallen in love with Pianpian.
But during the Battle of Shunde Temple, sudden changes occurred, and everything seemed to have changed completely.
Lin Shan appeared with a new identity, replacing the original responsibilities of Pian Pian. Getting along with Lin Shan these days has indeed stirred up new ripples in Ah Care, and the old crush seems to be coming back bit by bit... ⋯
"I...I don't know, I can cope with a lot of things now. It doesn't matter if I have a nanny or not. Even if Feiting is my nanny, it's the same; Qingfeng'er is also good as my nanny, he will cook a lot of dishes for me Eat!" Aguan laughed, making random jokes and making not-so-funny jokes.
Seeing Lin Shan staring at him coldly, Aguan knew that she was not satisfied with the answer, so he had to scratch his head and look away. After a long while, he said: "Actually... from the beginning to now, what I can do, what I should do, and even... who should be my nanny, are not decided by me. They are all decided by You gods decide. If you want me to practice swordsmanship, I will practice swordsmanship; if you ask me to guard any stronghold, I will guard that stronghold; if you want me to practice controlling evil thoughts, I will practice controlling evil thoughts; if you want me to practice operating the Taisui Cauldron, I will practice swordsmanship. , I will practice operating the Taisui Cauldron..."
When Aguan said this, he was quiet, looked at the corner, as if recalling the previous days, and said slowly: "It was decided by the gods that Pianpian would be my nanny; it was also decided by the gods that you take over Pianpian after that." Yes, you never gave me a chance to choose. When I was with Pianpian before, I thought she was very good. Of course I hope...I hope she will always be by my side. Later, when you took over from her, I think you are also very good. Even sometimes... I am more careful and considerate than her. But... now, I am not free. Many things, especially things other than "partners", "war", "evil thoughts" and "Tai Sui Ding", I can't even do it. I don’t dare to think too much. No fairy will allow me to think about those things... I want to think about some things... I hope some fairy will be my nanny..."
"I would only chat with Artest occasionally, saying that after the war with the evil gods is over, I can get a lot of money so that my mother can live a good life. By then, I will open a few shops and collect money with my legs crossed. I still have to go to many places to play and travel... By then, I also want to have a good relationship. By then, no one can interfere with what I want to do. I will not hesitate anymore, if you then If you ask me the same question, no matter what the answer is, I will definitely answer you..."
Lin Shan listened quietly to Aguan's words. The two were silent for a long time. Lin Shan finally spoke: "The nightmare I just had was very scary. I didn't dare to close my eyes. Can you talk to me again? I can't talk anymore." Don’t ask those questions just now…”
"Hmm..." Aguan nodded.
In the next two days, Aguan had his plaster removed from his hand and went to practice the cauldron every night. He was able to control the cauldron freely and ascend at will.
The secret room is not wide enough, but it is extremely high, so high that the top cannot be seen.
Aguan stood on the tripod, while Huang Ling and Wu Yi stood on the ground and looked up, leaving Aguan to control the Taisui tripod alone. The big cauldron was already tens of meters above the ground. Aguan raised his hands and felt that he was holding the big cauldron soaring upwards. He kept exerting force and the Taisui Cauldron flew higher and higher.
"Huh?" Aguan looked up and saw a large round object above him becoming increasingly clear, with some shadows swaying around it, like human figures.
Flying higher, there was a sudden burst of dazzling light, as if Aguan had passed through the clouds and mist and came to a new world.
"Wow!" Aguan opened his mouth wide and shouted. He passed through the misty clouds and saw clearly. That round object turned out to be another Tai Sui Cauldron. The craftsmen kept hammering and hammering to build a new Tai Sui Cauldron.
Aguan looked sideways and saw another Tai Sui Cauldron behind the Tai Sui Cauldron at the top, and even higher up, there was another Tai Sui Cauldron...
With a sudden flash, the Taisui Cauldron at Aguan's feet fell, faster and faster. Aguan quickly concentrated his attention and raised the Taisui Cauldron again.
Taibai Xing's cry came from below: "Okay, okay, little Suixing, stop playing, we are about to set off, but don't exhaust your energy before we set off!"
Aguancao made the Taisui Cauldron land safely. He jumped off the Taisui Cauldron, ran to Taibai Star, gestured and pointed upward, and said babblingly: "...there are other Taisui Cauldrons up there!"
"Those are fake tripods." Lin Shan looked strange and giggled, while Aguan looked stunned. Taibai Xing and other generals on the side also snickered, as if they had colluded to punish Aguan.
Lin Shan has almost recovered, and just now she was still talking about the details of moving the cauldron in the conference room.
"Fake tripod?" Aguan asked puzzledly: "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Taibai Xing smiled and said: "Xiao Suixing, this fake tripod is an important link in the plan to move the tripod. I didn't tell you just because I didn't want you to be distracted and delay the progress of practicing the tripod."
