In the library, in a secluded corner.
Not long after Lu Yan returned to his usual seat, Pei Wende and Xiao Qing also walked through the bookshelves like ghosts and appeared in Lu Yan's sight.
"Be careful not to damage the 'True Solution to Alchemy', it is the only copy left by Li Xuan!"
Although he said this, Lu Yan did not take any actual action to stop the two of them, but continued to flip through the Tao Te Ching in his hand.
"The true solution to the elixir?"
Seeing this, Pei Wende, whose body had become insubstantial, was stunned for a moment, then materialized one of his hands and picked up the "True Explanation of Alchemy Prescriptions".
It’s not a popular script today, or even an ancient seal script from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period…
This "True Explanation of Alchemy" is recorded in a kind of ghost writing similar to divination, and it itself has a certain degree of miraculousness.
Pei Wende just lightly opened the first page of the book, and more content pages were automatically generated, and they were all extended around the index on the first page.
"This method is quite interesting, and it is somewhat similar to my 'Magic Weapon Channeling'."
Pei Wende saw very clearly that this was the "True Explanation of Alchemy Prescriptions". He was afraid that readers would not understand the content on the first page, so he gave relative explanations to some obscure terms on the first page.
In a sense, this "True Explanation of Alchemy Prescriptions" is alive.
Thinking of this, Pei Wende couldn't help but glance around at the bookshelves near him.
At a glance, Pei Wende could hardly imagine how many Taoist treasures there were that were similar to the "True Explanation of Alchemy".
Buzz!
As if aware of the rarity of these books, Pei Wende's shadow suddenly twisted without warning.
Linglong, who was staying in it, wanted to come out and read various Taoist and Tibetan classics in Chunyang Temple.
Unfortunately, before he could express his opinion, Lu Yan, who noticed this scene, closed the Tao Te Ching in his hand in time, and then recited a mantra in a low voice.
"Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the fundamental root of Wanqi. Cultivate for thousands of kalpas and prove my magical power!"
In an instant, an invisible pressure surged from all directions in the library.
Fortunately, Pei Wende and Xiaoqing were easily exempted from this psychological pressure.
But Linglong, who was living in Pei Wende's shadow, was not so lucky, and was directly locked in the shadow by this spell.
“If the Dharma is not taught to the six ears, the Tao is not transmitted to the human being.”
"A mere Ying Mei is not qualified to spy on such a precious Taoist treasure."
The voice seemed a bit understated, but the domineering tone in Lu Yan's tone was more or less mysterious.
"The differential treatment is quite obvious..."
Xiao Qing, who was also interested in the Dao Zang in the library pavilion, couldn't help but complain.
It was clear that Pei Wende did not stop him from reading the "True Solution to Alchemy", but Linglong just showed some tendencies, and Lu Yan suppressed her unceremoniously.
If he hadn't known in advance that Pei Wende and Xuan Jue were enemies but not friends, Xiaoqing would have doubted whether Pei Wende was the other party's illegitimate son.
"Because I'm not Bui Wende, that's all."
Lu Yan didn't care at all about his differential treatment, but said it in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Not everyone in this world is the Pei family brother and sister, who can spread all kinds of cultivation methods without reservation..."
"This is true even for Li Xuan, who is known as the first Yang God in Taoism."
Keenly aware of the difference in address in Lu Yan's words, Xiao Qing did not continue to mock him, but looked at Pei Wende who was standing aside.
Xiao Qing believed that the other party must have heard the subtext in Lu Yan's words.
"You said before that I can regard you as Xuan Jue. What do you mean?"
Gently putting the "True Alchemy Solution" in his hand back to its original position, Pei Wende lowered his head and looked at Lu Yan again, as if he wanted to see any different behavior from the other person's small body.
"It literally means that I am Xuan Jue, but I am not Xuan Jue."
Lu Yan did not avoid Pei Wende's question this time, but murmured with a complex expression that he had never seen before.
"I am indeed the reincarnation of Xuan Jue, and I have inherited Xuan Jue's emotions and memories, and even his personality and cognition."
"But I know very well in my heart that I am not the real Xuan Jue..."
"Or to be more precise, I am not the complete Xuan Jue, I am just what Xuan Jue looked like when he was sixteen years old."
As if he was afraid that Pei Wende didn't quite understand what he said, Lu Yan paused for a moment before continuing to explain.
"A person has different personalities at different age levels..."
"The curiosity when you are young, the calmness when you are old, and the pessimism when you are old are all determined by age and experience."
"But during the process of reincarnation, Xuan Jue acted basely and offended a god that he shouldn't have offended. As a result, my mental age was permanently fixed at the age of sixteen."
Lu Yan did not mention which god Xuan Jue offended, because that was not the key to the problem.
"I was young and impulsive, I didn't know the heights of the world, but I was also extremely sensitive and stubborn..."
"This is who I am now, a Xuan Jue who is always sixteen years old."
Sixteen is the age of youth, and it is also the age when a person is most susceptible to change.
This is the same even for Xuan Jue, who was born as a demon.
Lu Yan, who was forever solidified at the age of sixteen, was always suffering from the changes of puberty.
To say he is moody is to praise him. At this age, Lu Yan is simply synonymous with being unscrupulous and doing whatever he wants.
"But the crux of the matter is that at the age of sixteen, I have Xuan Jue's lifelong memory and knowledge, and at the same time, I also have his admiration and feelings for Pei Hui."
The mismatch in age, personality and experience led to some errors in Lu Yan's self-perception.
Sometimes Lu Yan even doubts whether the memories and feelings from his previous life are real?
Or maybe it was just a dream I had about Xuan Jue, a Zhuang Zhou dream about butterfly that even I couldn't tell the truth from the fake?
"It sounds really bad. It's even worse than a simple reincarnation awakening one's own personality."
It has to be said that even the well-informed Pei Wende couldn't help but scratch his head after hearing what Lu Yan said.
Because compared to ordinary personality replacement and schizophrenia, Lu Yan's situation is obviously more complicated.
The unity of self-awareness brought about by the Yangshen-level soul allowed Lu Yan to not confuse memories and emotions and split into a new personality even if he was reincarnated.
But due to the intervention of a certain great god, Lu Yan, who had no split personality, began to doubt his self-knowledge.
The person I am today is not the person I was yesterday, and the person I am tomorrow will not be the person I am today...
Unless Lu Yan thinks clearly about this kind of metaphysical philosophical problem, there is no solution at all.
