Lin Xixue stared blankly at the bronze mirror in front of her, shaking her head repeatedly.
"Impossible, impossible..."
"I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy at all, I'm sober now."
"Hong Yanzi is dead, he is dead, this is an illusion, this must be an illusion."
The horizontal sword in Lin Xixue's hand was not unsheathed. She held the sword and used it as a stick to fly the bronze mirror and embed it firmly into the brick wall.
A large pit was sunk into the bronze mirror, which turned into an irregular concave mirror, and the face of Hong Yanzi in the mirror was also distorted.
The expression that was originally full of worry seemed to be forcibly twisted into a smile at this moment, and the originally withered and thin cheeks were now enlarged into a big pie face.
"Why are you laughing, you old lunatic!"
Lin Xixue became even more angry when she saw the distorted face. She first cursed at the bronze mirror, then drew her sword and chopped the bronze mirror into pieces.
The fragments of bronze mirrors scattered on the ground reflected a new Hong Yanzi in each piece, and dozens of Hong Yanzi spoke together.
"My dear granddaughter, remember, when you go to Wujiang north of Lichuan, you must find the soul-fixing Gu to suppress your madness..."
"Shut up, I told you to shut up! Shut up! You are already dead, I killed you with my own hands. You can no longer speak, and you shouldn't speak anymore, you know!"
Lin Xixue collapsed and picked up the broken bronze mirror with her hands. The sharp edge sliced her palm to pieces.
But regardless of the pain, she kicked Xue Xi away from his knees and threw the fragment directly into the forge.
"Good boy, I don't blame you, I don't blame you...Grandpa doesn't have much time, so be careful in the future..."
The bronze mirror gradually melted in the forge, and Hong Yanzi's voice became weaker and weaker, finally disappearing into nothingness.
Lin Xixue held her stomach and laughed wildly. While laughing, she pointed at the copper water in the crucible and asked.
"Hahahahahahaha, old man, can you still talk? Can you still talk? I ask you, can you still talk?"
"You can't speak anymore! The dead should just shut up and stop causing trouble!"
"Why do you think people can't speak after they die?" Huan Huan suddenly asked.
When Lin Xixue heard this, her laughter stopped abruptly.
Yes, why do I think people can’t speak after they die?
Sir, isn’t it normal for the weird coffin-carrying team, the walking corpses that can still move after death, and the ability to talk after death?
No, why should I think about what Huan heard? It was obviously just something created by Tianzun to interfere with my thinking. There was no need to continue listening to what she said.
"Yes, I will ignore everything you say. Let me see how you can interfere with me."
"Then have you forgotten, above the official level, it was because you didn't listen to my advice and you were almost scorned by that tall and thin man."
"Even if what you said this time is true, you lied to me in front of Wuzeng Temple. You said that the great witch Zhu poisoned me and led me into the temple!"
"Why do you conclude that the great witch Zhu is a good person, and why do you say that the master is righteous? Why does the Heavenly Lord have to be evil? How can you be sure that the great witch Zhu has not poisoned you?"
"After I gave Bai Qing the medicine I learned from the great witch Zhu, she recovered very well. This ointment is indeed useful. It is obviously from the standpoint of helping me."
"Then let me ask you, Bai Qing has recovered from her trauma. Has she ever regained consciousness?"
"This... injury is too serious. What's wrong with taking more time to recuperate?"
"That's right, you have a preconceived idea that Tianzun is evil and I am righteous. Therefore, any abnormality shown by Tianzun is abnormal, and the abnormality shown by Great Witch Zhu is understandable and acceptable."
"Otherwise? Hong Yanzi used the evil method of enchanting flesh and gold. What is it if it's not evil?"
"Is it evil to enchant flesh with gold? Then why don't you ask the Great Witch Zhu where the clay sculptures in Wuzeng Temple come from?"
"You also said you didn't mislead me. Now all the clay dolls in the temple have been turned into powder. How can I know where they came from? Don't you just want to interfere with my judgment with such unsubstantiated things?"
"The great witch Zhu is dead and the clay doll is broken, but the villagers in Linghu Village are still alive. Why don't you catch a few villagers and ask how they got the clay doll?"
"I......"
"Have you forgotten that the villagers of Linghu Village almost sacrificed Zhou Sheng to the lake? You think turning stones into gold is an evil method, so what about this sacrifice to the lake? Do you think the villagers of Linghu Village are also evil?"
"That is......"
"What is that? Do you think a group of villagers who want to sacrifice their lives to the lake out of anger are also good people?"
"..."
"Perhaps I can give you another explanation for these things."
"Stop talking, I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't believe you anymore!" Lin Xixue covered her ears tightly.
But the auditory hallucinations sounded directly in my mind.
"You are Tong Yingzi, the granddaughter of Hong Yanzi. You have suffered from hysteria since you were a child. Fortunately, Hong Yanzi used the soul-fixing Gu to suppress your madness."
"It turns out that after I died and entered your body through time travel, the two souls interfered with each other, causing your hysteria to relapse."
"Subsequently, you mistakenly mistook the Soul-fixing Gu for a Corpse Puppet Insect and took it out of your body, causing your hysteria to break out completely and out of control."
"The great witch Zhu wanted to harm you. Although Hong Yanzi is dead, he still can't worry about you and asked Tianzun to take action to save you."
"If it weren't for the manifestation of the Heavenly Lord that day and shattered the Dharma body of the master, would you still be able to go crazy here at this time?"
"You lied. You said you traveled through time and entered my body after death. Then why do I have memories before time traveling?"
"At that time, I had just traveled through time, and my soul was not yet stable. I was intertwined with your soul, so I gained part of each other's memories."
"But then I was enshrined by the Heavenly Lord, and my soul stabilized, and your soul and mine were separated."
"So you will find that you gradually lose a lot of memories about before the time travel, right?"
"So actually this is not an illusion, it's just the result of the separation between our souls."
"You are Tong Yingzi, the granddaughter of Hong Yanzi, and I am the time traveler Lin Xixue."
"No, no, I am not the granddaughter of that old madman, I am Lin Xixue. You are hearing hallucinations, you are hearing hallucinations, I don't believe you, I have a golden finger, I have a golden finger!"
"Goldfinger, are you talking about this?"
Huan Huan smiled lightly and snapped her fingers. All the surrounding scenes were quickly dissociated and turned into blue threads floating into nothingness. She returned to the chaotic void again.
In the void, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was wearing a black feathered coat, with a black halo like the sun flowing behind her, holding a blue-white jade bottle in her hand.
The jade bottle breathes out a vast amount of green energy, and as it circulates, it seems to be magically evolving all the phenomena in the heavens.
She took a closer look at the girl's appearance, and her heart suddenly became more troubled.
Because this girl looks exactly like me.
The girl opened her green-gold eyes, with no sadness or joy in her expression, looking down at her like a god above the sky.
She said pitifully: "This is my golden finger, not yours, because you are Hong Yanzi's granddaughter."
"And I am the time traveler Lin Xixue..."
