A modern person transforms into the villain Master Baili Mingzhu, inheriting the bone-eroding cold poison and paranoid past of his original body. In order to reverse the ending of the original work where he was killed by his apprentice, the soul-binding curse was changed into an injury-bearing curse to carry Xiao Shuo's injuries. The paper man who monitors the mountains was reforged into a guardian spirit body, specially designed to warn Xiao Shuo of danger and tuck him into bed at night.
Late at night when the cold poison invaded the sixth floor, Xiao Shuo stepped onto Qingling Peak with his sword in hand. Bone-piercing pain swept through Baili Mingzhu, half of the guardian paper figures were shattered inch by inch, and the remaining pieces of paper tremblingly wrapped around his cold body.
Xiao Shuo pushed the door open and questioned the master with resentment about how he relied on curse seals and paper figures to imprison himself, believing that the other party only wanted to squeeze his own cultivation to survive. The cold poison controls the body, and Baili Mingzhu spits out those paranoid old words uncontrollably. Thousands of words are stuck in his throat, and he can't even explain it.
Xiao Shuo was heartbroken and pierced his master's heart with his long sword. The Broken Curse Seal suddenly exploded into golden light that filled the sky. Nine spiritual thunders protected Xiao Shuo. He suddenly froze. He lowered his head and saw clearly the words hidden deep in the bottom layer of the runes: bear injury, extend life, and do not seek. The shallowest line was tremblingly engraved - I tried. Sorry.
Xiao Shuo collapsed instantly, and blood spurted out when he drew his sword. He tremblingly hugged the dying Baili Mingzhu, and used his own cultivation to enter the master's body to suppress the six layers of cold poison. All the spiritual power accumulated over the past ten years under the Injury Curse came back, and it hung on Baili Mingzhu's remaining soul.
Baili Mingzhu slowly wakes up, and is finally free from the constraints of physical obsessions, and slowly tells the whole truth about wearing books, changing curses, and protecting the Lord with paper figures.
Xiao Shuo stayed in front of his bed for three days and three nights, and took out the note under his master's pillow. Two lines of writing faced each other: "I know the ending, but I still want to try." At the bottom was a sentence he wrote unconsciously when he was young: "... Me too." Misunderstandings are completely resolved, and all past barriers are melted away.
From then on, Xiao Shuo never left Qingling Peak, searching for rare treasures all over the world to remove the cold poison from Baili Mingzhu. The remaining paper man from that time still went back and forth every night, guarding the master who was regulating his breath while gently tucking Xiao Shuo into bed.
The shuo wind will no longer trap the candlelight. A bright candle will stay with the shuo wind all year round, and there will be no separation.
Intention: The weight of estrangement and honesty
