    The nurse shook the hospital bed, and Shen Xing'er half-sat on the bed, cooperating with the doctor for the final examination.Bao Le observed her for a long time, and judging from the fact that she was quite clear when she answered the doctor's questions, she should be very lucky not to have injured her brain.Before the doctor left, he kindly reminded them not to stay too long.

    The first person to communicate with her was, of course, Gao Xing, a young apprentice who is a policeman. He asked some questions about the case.But Shen Xing'er didn't see the murderer's face, and she didn't have any impression of being knocked out, and the little apprentice returned home dejectedly.

    Then Shen Xing'er set her gaze behind Gao Xing, and stared at Bao Le who she was looking at without moving.

    For the two of them, one had a bandage on his forehead and the other had gauze around his neck. Although the wounds were in different places, they both had just escaped death.Bao Le always felt that if it wasn't for him, Shen Xing'er wouldn't have to suffer these hardships at all.The little girl was depressed and didn't know how to speak.

    So Shen Xing'er reached out to her first: "Miss Xiao Jiang, have you recovered your memory?"

    Bao Le put his hand in hers, and the two girls who were about the same age looked at each other and smiled."Don't worry, I'm sorry, if you hadn't disguised yourself as me, you wouldn't have been targeted by the murderer." Bao Le whispered.

    Shen Xing'er was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant: "Murderer?"

    "It's a long story. It's better not to be too tired when Ms. Shen just woke up." Gao Xing quickly interrupted their next conversation, and winked at Bao Le.Shen Xing'er is only the victim, and of course she cannot tell her many details of the case.

    Shen Xing'er really believed his words, and no longer entangled with this issue, her focus was on another matter.

    "Master Jun," she looked at Jun Zhi beside Bao Le, "Do you know "The Twelve Chapters of Yin and Yang"?"

    Jun Zhi pondered for a moment, then asked her back: "Banned books?"

    "Yes, when I was in a coma, I heard that sentence from my kidnapper. I was not conscious at the time, and I wasn't sure if it was a mishearing or a hallucination. But if it is true, it will be very strange. Why is "Yin Yang Ten"Part Two"? There is no reason for others to know about this thing."

    "I'll go back to the old house," Jun Zhi frowned, and said by the way, "have a good rest."

    When his back disappeared into the ward, Bao Le woke up like a dream.Her first reaction was to follow, after all, Jun Zhi had an expression on his face that seemed to have some clues.Before leaving, the little girl patted Gao Xing on the shoulder: "I'll leave the worry to you, and I'll contact you anytime if you need anything."

    Just as Gao Xing wanted to protest, Shen Xing'er interrupted: "Miss Xiao Jiang, Mr. Jun...he has become one of us."

    Bao Le nodded: "I forgot to tell you, the young master of your family is the only one left."

    "Then Master Jiang is back?"

    The little girl was shocked: "Do you know where Jiang Ning went?!"

    Shen Xing'er pursed her lips and whispered, "She went to Su Zhou to meet your parents."

    Bao Le was dumbfounded on the spot.

    ...

    As an ancient house with a long history, the Shen family's old house has been expanded many times, and naturally it also hides many treasures.Among them, the place where the books are collected is a small western-style building with three floors above the ground, with white walls and blue tiles in a hexagonal shape.The white wall is covered with turquoise creepers, and it is connected to the small balcony protruding to the south of the small building, which is a place for drying books.There is a lot of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Every once in a while, the Shen family will take out the manuscripts in the library to dry in the sun to remove mold.

    This library building, with two floors underground, is a well-known restricted area for the Shen family.It contains the forbidden books collected by the patriarchs of the past dynasties from all over the world.It is said that the Shen family has mastered yin and yang since ancient times, so many people speculate that the authors of the banned books in the restricted area of their library are not necessarily all human beings.

    Anyway, according to Jun Zhi, this "Twelve Chapters of Yin and Yang" has been placed in the restricted area for some years.The books in the restricted area are not like those upstairs, and they can be put out to bask in the sun.The forbidden zone, which cannot see the light all year round, is not only humid, but also dusty.

    It was early in the morning when Bao Le and the others returned to Shen's house, rested for the night, and rushed to the library early the next morning.

    However, what is disappointing is that there is not even a single banned book in the library in the Mirror Realm.The good basement has been transformed into a wine cellar, where there are no shadows of books.Young Master Shen, who was called up early in the morning to open the door, led them in with a confused expression, and followed them out with a confused expression.

    "This was a wine cellar a long time ago, and many of the wines in it have a history of hundreds of years. I've never heard of it, and there are rumors of banned books at home." Shen Wangyan was elated when he saw Jun Zhi's return, "Uncle Jun,Don't leave, I'm bored to death by myself at home."

    Jun Zhi didn't even look at him, the young master made himself a fool of himself.

    Shen Wangyan said: "By the way, how is the investigation of Mr. Luo's case going?"

    Bao Le was curious: "You are very concerned about the case. Generally, normal people have been silent about what happened to you, and they have nightmares every day."

    "Little elder sister, look at what you said," Young Master Shen leaned in front of her, "Didn't the two of us be at the scene of the crime together? You, a girl, don't have nightmares every day. What am I, a grown man, afraid of?"

    The little girl flipped over Byakugan and lay down on the table bored.

    Shen Wangyan didn't want to let her go: "What are you looking for, is it related to the case? Ask me, maybe I can help."

    Bao Le suddenly felt that what he said made sense, after all, he and the last deceased were regarded as teachers and students."About Luo Xin, how much do you know, have you heard her say anything like "The Twelve Chapters of Yin and Yang"?" The little girl looked at him expectantly.

    The young master pouted and quickly shook his head.The anticipation in Bao Le's eyes went out, and he turned Byakugan upside down.

    "But I know she's from Bei Jing," Shen Wangyan propped his head on his hands, "Her parents are well-known figures in Bei Jing, but for some reason, they severed ties with her and couldn't get along in the capital.Nan Jing just came here. Of course, the police must have found all of these, and I said nothing. But once I saw her make a phone call, as if she was arguing with someone, and mentioned the sentence 'Everyone is a murderer, not one can escape'... Sister, do you think this is a clue?"

    Bao Le touched his chin, and asked him back: "What do you think?"

    "You definitely don't think so. After all, that group of policemen also said so." The young master shrugged and stretched boringly. He didn't want to waste time with them anymore, so he found an excuse to slip away by himself.

    Bao Le looked at Jun Zhi while pondering what he said just now.

    Jun Zhi poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped it expressionlessly.Based on what she knew about him, this person must have no idea now.After all, if he has any thoughts, it's not Xipin, and his actions can only mean that he is deserting.

    "What the hell is "The Twelve Chapters of Yin and Yang"?"

    Jun Zhi put down his teacup: "Books are banned."

    She already knew this last night, so can there be something new, something she doesn't know?

    Seeing the little girl looking at him expectantly, Jun Zhinan explained a little more: "I haven't seen it." Come on, you don't even know when you co-authored it.

    "Ah Yan has seen it," Jun Zhi's gaze shifted, "Jiang Ning should have seen it too."

    But now one of them lost their way, and the other didn't know where they were, so if they said it, they didn't say anything.

    Bao Le thought wildly for a while: "The title of this book sounds a bit like the Shen family's Tianshou, the Book of Yin-Yang Dao, Twelve Chapters of Yin-Yang... Could it be that the murderer is someone from your Shen family!"

    "No," Jun Zhi retorted, "They dare not."

    What he said, the little girl didn't know how to continue, so she changed the subject: "Mirror Realm is really a strange place, the Shen family and Xie family of this generation don't seem to have mastered the gift of heaven."Let’s not talk about Xie Huai, a good jeweler who changed his career and studied psychology. The same goes for Shen Wangyan. I always feel that after he graduates, he will really open a gallery, maybe he will become an artist. "

    Jun Zhi listened quietly and did not express any opinion.

    So Bao Le said again: "I talked to you from Mirror Realm before, and he said that the gift of heaven is not a good thing, and that you didn't understand it. But I don't think so. For a smart person like Shen Wangyan, what do you think?They are very transparent. He must have his own reasons for his persistent pursuit of the gift of heaven. He has kept a lot of things from me, but his purpose is always easy to guess. I know that he always wants to live longer and wants to live longer.To break the curse of the Shen family's short life, that's his purpose, right."

    The movement of Jun Zhi's hand paused for a moment, but he still didn't speak.

    "Then what is your purpose?" Bao Le refocused his gaze on the person opposite him, "If Shen Wangyan's purpose is to live, Jun Zhi, you are already immortal, so what is your purpose?"What? Because of this purpose, you help him, so you are working hard with him to find the place of enlightenment."

    Jun Zhi raised his eyes and looked at her.

    Bao Le smiled wryly: "For the past year, I have been thinking whether I thought too easily of you, or of the grant of heaven. When Shen Wangyan sent you to find me, it was really just becauseIs my destiny a cloudy year? Is it because I am actually one of your ancient survivors, and I also have this kind of thing called heavenly gift?"

    "You all knew from the beginning that Bi Fang lived in my body, right? Don't worry, Jiang Ning went to my hometown to find my parents... We have known each other for a year, and we have been together day and night. She never told me that she knew my parents."

    The little girl was a little emotional, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't figure out anything.But for some reason, Jun Zhi's words "The people of the Shen family are not as good as you think, beware of them" repeatedly appeared in her mind.

    She seems to have caught the key, but she doesn't seem to.

    Jun Zhi flicked her on the forehead, Bao Le raised his head in confusion, and the other party's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he couldn't help laughing.But his expression didn't look like he was laughing at her, but rather... teasing her.

    "Your family is not an ancient survivor, but I..." He put away his smile and said seriously, "But Ah Yan and I did know who you are early on. As for Jiang Ning, she really didn't know anything before, and she might guess by herself later.Here you go. Don’t think too much, it’s pointless.”

    He rarely spoke so much at the first opening, but Bao Le felt that he couldn't understand again.

    "You mean, I'm not a descendant of the ancient survivors?" The little girl didn't believe it, and wondered how she could be so easy to fool, "But in the land of enlightenment, there is obviously a mural with the logo of our family, Bi Fang!"

    "Who told you that the murals are all symbols of the ancient survivors?"

    Bao Le just wanted to say that it was Shen Wangyan who said it, but in a daze, she suddenly remembered that she had indeed asked a similar question, but Young Master Shen had never admitted it.So she hesitated, maybe she really misunderstood?

    "Bi Fang is related to you," said Jun Zhidao, "but you are not an ancient survivor."

    "But if I wasn't, how could our family's Bi Fang appear in the Land of Enlightenment?"

    Jun Zhi tilted his head and said calmly: "The initiator of Gengshen's operation was surnamed Jiang."

    The little girl stayed on the spot.

    Jun Zhi took advantage of the time when she was digesting the information, lifted a lock of long hair from her ear, put it on her lips, closed her eyes and sniffed lightly.He has not been so relaxed for many years, it seems that Mirror Realm's feng shui is so good, it always gives him the illusion that he can open his heart recently.

    "You asked me just now what I want. I can tell you this." He opened his eyes, looking through the years and looking at the world of mortals. "I thought that one day I could grow old like a normal person.That's what I want."
