The #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path

Chapter 207 - Stained Clothes

Edited by Animeart

After the word “Alright” fell, the mirror was silent for a long time, and then a line of words appeared: “I can take you back to the time when Xiao Shao was still alive, but you still have a cause and effect remaining that is unclear. Do you want to go with me?”

Lin Shu: “En.”

Cause and effect was like an endless cycle, he seemed to be locked in a void by fate.

He thought that when he came, he would be carefree, and he would leave in peace and quiet.

The mirror shimmered and shrouded Lin Shu.

Lin Shu landed.

He found that his body became transparent, emitting dim light, and countless light spots were escaping outwards. As they dissipated, the light on his body also dimmed.

He stretched out his hand to touch himself and his hand went straight through. He seemed without an entity.

His Divine Soul was too weak to sustain an entity and it was still dissipating.

The mirror had said “to go is to die”. Sure enough, the third chance to go back to the past would completely consume all his Divine Soul.

He looked around.

A sea of blood.

Night sky.

Red flickering stars.

——This was that year. In Northern Xia, Xiao Xuan had said that the Great Wizard would be extremely weak around the 15th of each month, so he and Xiao Shao had killed the Great Wizard by coincidence.

Looking at the current situation, it was the moment when the Great Wizard had just died and Xiao Shao took the initiative to bear the resentment and grievances.

He stepped into the sea of blood.

In the sea of blood, Xiao Shao, dressed in gorgeous black robes, closed his eyes and fused with the resentment and grievances.

Lin Shu reached out and stroked his cheek, tracing his eyebrows and eyes, the bridge of his nose and lips.

His face was as beautiful as he remembered.

His shoulders and chest, which had been pillowed by him for countless nights, were still so warm and strong.

Lin Shu hasn’t seen him for two years.

It was almost as long as a lifetime.

His soul became lighter and lighter, the light was getting dimmer and dimmer, and drifting upward. He pecked Xiao Shao’s forehead gently.

As if nothing had happened.

Lin Shu closed his eyes.

It seemed that there was a beginning and an end to leaving the world in this way.

He didn’t know if they would meet each other again in the Netherworld.

He thought he would have mixed feelings and burst into tears, but at this moment, facing Xiao Shao and his impending death, he suddenly found peace; a feeling of calmness.

Fate went back and forth, but in any case, it begins with life and will eventually end in death.

The past, the present, the future, were all entangled with each other, time flowed, things changed, and would suddenly vanish.

Perhaps there was a past life, perhaps an afterlife, but he didn’t want to live anymore.

Xiao Shao did what he was bound to do at all times when he needed to make a choice. Was his heart so calm when he died?

He calmly waited for his soul to dissipate, but he didn’t.

As if feeling something, Lin Shu opened his eyes and turned his head to look in a direction.

There was a man coming towards him.

——It should not be said that it was a man, but a nihilistic soul, floating from the corpse of the Great Wizard not far away and coming towards him.

Lin Shu looked at him.

He also looked at Lin Shu, dressed in plain green clothes with a young face. When he came in contact with Lin Shu’s eyes, he lowered his eyes slightly.

Lin Shu walked towards him.

This was the Great Wizard.

Guiltless.

Guiltless, who had lost control and had lost his sanity in Min Prefecture City, and finally stayed in the past. He didn’t know what methods he had used to eventually become a powerful Wizard who was famous for his violence and blood thirsty killing.

Together, they watched a white shadow walk across the sea of blood to Xiao Shao and gently called his name.

——That was the real Lin Shu of this time and space. He didn’t know anything. All dangerous and sinister things hadn’t happened yet. He was trying to wake up Xiao Shao.

He was a living man. He couldn’t see the souls in the air, nor could he hear the dialogue between the two souls.

The Great Wizard coughed a few times.

Lin Shu looked at him and said softly, “Why do you cough?”

In his memory, the Great Wizard seemed to be ill all the time.

The Great Wizard said, “Your sword hurt my lungs.”

Lin Shu: “You have been separated from that body.”

The Great Wizard smiled and said, “The pain is in my heart, and the soul remembers it. You stabbed me on the 15th day of that month. When I see the full moon on the 15th day of each month, my illness gets worse.”

Lin Shu: “I was not trying to kill you. Your spiritual power was out of control. I just wanted to abolish your meridians.”

“I know.” In the sea of blood, the Great Wizard seemed to smile, but a moment later, he bit his lips like crying and laughing. When he spoke again, his voice was hoarse: “I just...just knew.”

He looked at the smaller Lin Shu, holding the Folding Bamboo sword and calling Xiao Shao, and said, “He killed me. And I just realized that you didn’t want to kill me back then.”

He seemed to be having difficulty. He closed his eyes and breathed out a sigh. Then he slowly said, “You gave me a human body and I owe you that cause and effect. If you wanted to kill me, I would have scattered outside Min Prefecture City.”

Lin Shu didn’t know what to say and looked at Guiltless who had grown-up.

He had shuttled three times into the past, but it was only within a short span of a day.

For Guiltless who had stayed in the past, it had been more than ten years.

The Great Wizard’s eyes were bloody: “I was... too young ... and I hated you for 20 years for no reason.”

A transparent tear slid down from the corner of his eyes. He looked at Lin Shu, his eyes red, like a child who had done something wrong.

Lin Shu said, “I don’t blame you.”

He turned around, his back was lonely, and the shadow of the Northern Xia’s Great Wizard was vaguely visible again: “Blame me.”

He walked to the center of the tower: “I am a resentment. I have absorbed all kinds of resentment all my life. Even without Min Prefecture City, I would have gotten out of control sooner or later. Either you, Little Phoenix, or others, someone would have killed me.”

“When I was a child, you asked me not to kill people and not to feed on resentment. But later, I killed people as if cutting down grass. It’s not that you didn’t teach me well.” The Great Wizard said indifferently: “Killing is in my nature. From the day when Ou Yezi forged me... I can’t change it all, even if I tried all my life.”

The Great Wizard came to Xiao Shao.

Xiao Shao’s mind seemed to be called back by Lin Shu and he opened his eyes in confusion.

The Great Wizard smiled and rubbed his hair.

Then Lin Shu heard the Great Wizard say, “Do you want to die here?”

Lin Shu: “En.”

“All right,” the Great Wizard continued to touch Xiao Shao again knowing that the living man couldn’t see him. “Anyway, you had wanted to die since the day he had died.”

Lin Shu didn’t speak.

The Great Wizard said, “But you better go back.”

Lin Shu: “Why?”

The Great Wizard said, “I still owe you cause and effect and I have no chance to pay it back.”

He turned his head and looked straight at Lin Shu: “If I have a soul reincarnation, I won’t be a sword in my next life. To be a sword is too fierce.”

He laughed at himself and then said, “Without Ou Yezi, I would have been an ordinary sword. I often dreamed of being picked up by an ordinary small sword cultivator. However, my whole body is still as black as Guiltless, and as not as beautiful as Folding Bamboo.

Lin Shu smiled: “You are like him too.”

With Xiao Shao’s status and talent, he had always wanted to retire to Peach Blossom Land. And Guiltless, an ancient demon blade, his wish was just to be an ordinary sword.

The Great Wizard naturally knew what he was talking about.

He curled his lips and smiled freely.

It was a very relaxed and comfortable smile, as if he had let go of all his thoughts — Lin Shu had never seen such a smile, whether it was Guiltless or the later as the Great Wizard.

The Great Wizard walked towards him. The white light on his body dissipated, and integrated into Lin Shu’s body. The pure spiritual power stabilized Lin Shu’s figure.

His figure was about to disappear in the next moment, but with a smile in his eyes, he said, “I know that it was difficult to change my nature, it was difficult to stop killing, and it was unforgivable, only death can free me. I just want to pay off the cause and effect, and I will no longer be entangled with you in my next life. Lord Taoyuan...I, Guiltless, is repenting for the evil deeds that I have done in the past, and the gratitude and resentment have been written off, today I will see you off again.

He put his palms together, his green clothes were elegantly flowing. He clapped his arms in the direction of Lin Shu.

Lin Shu suddenly floated up in the air and saw his body completely dissipated between heaven and earth, while the scene in front of him was getting farther and farther away, and finally out of sight.

When he opened his eyes again, he already had an entity and his feet were on the ground.

He stood on the ruins of the Sword Pavilion. His soul was not stable yet, his body was extremely weak, and his cultivation was gone.

In front of him was the Daoist Qin, and more than a hundred people gathered by this man. Seeing him appear, Taoist Qin’s eyes widened, “He’s coming!”

This Daoist took the lead in holding a sword to control Lin Shu, and the heroes were jubilant. In an instant, the situation turned ferocious. Some people accused him for opening the artifact secretly and trying to change his fate against the will of Heavens. Some people pressured him about the method of opening the artifact.

Lin Shu just smiled.

There were good and evil people in the world. It is still the same when it comes to the Immortal Dao.

Some people are guilty of their sins, others have insatiable desires, which has been the case for thousands of years.

But the Heavens had a constant rule. If you have power, you have to pay a price.

This was true for the Heartless Dao and for the Evil Karma Platform as well.

A person possessed an artifact that could travel through time, thinking that he could change everything at will. But in the end, he finds that the world had been doomed long ago and just moving forward slowly – loss and despair was no more than a type of torture.

If Guiltless was here, I’m afraid he would have thrown all these people into the Evil Mirror Platform and let them live and die by themselves. If it was also Xiao Shao who was here, it was also possible.

But Lin Shu didn’t think so.

The greed of these more than hundred people is only one of the hundreds of ways of the world. Rivers and mountains are easy to change, and nature is difficult to change, just as Guiltless was born to kill. If only he knew the taste of sin in the mirror, the rest of them would not sin so much.

He did not speak.

Daoist Qin smiled grimly and dragged him to the cliff of the Sword Pavilion: “Explain it quickly!”

He looked at the bottomless abyss under him and the ferocious people in front of him. He was very calm and at peace.

Life is a fleeting dream. Life and death are just a moment. He has realized this in the mirror.

Xiao Shao, 21 years old, was accompanied by Lin Shu, 19 years old, in that time and space.

Xiao Shao, who had been dead for two years, was still waiting for him to accompany him.

But today, it was Daoist Qin who led the way, which could be regarded as reaching the same goal using different paths.

The tip of Daoist Qin’s sword touched his chest. In a daze, he smelled the cold scent of winter plum.

Stunned, he smiled and felt that a dying man had hallucinations as expected.

Something slowly landed on his clothes, light and fluttering, a small piece of soft red, like a peach petal.

Xiao Shao had said, ‘When a peach blossom stains your clothes, it would mean I have come to see you’.

Xiao Shao, Xiao Shao, have you come to see me?
