Monument of Life and Death

  ***

  The familiar gravity was like a heavy punch from the sky, and it fell **** Xiaolan's body.

  Xiaolan twitched all over, and then, like a doll thrown away by its owner, fell from midair.

  Xiaolan felt that the flesh on her face was trembling along with the lines of the air.

  She was so prepared she didn't even let out a scream.

  She landed precisely in Jasmine's arms.

  Xiao Lan smiled and hugged Jasmine firmly and caringly.

   "Jasmine, you can see it now!"

  Xiaolan looked into Jasmine's eyes, but after a few seconds, the smile on her face disappeared little by little.

  Jasmine looked at herself expressionlessly, and there was no emotion in her faintly golden pupils. Xiaolan could see herself reflected in those eyes, but she couldn't see Jasmine no matter what.

   This is not Molly.

  Xiao Lan jumped out of the arms of the person in front of her almost instantly.

   "Who are you?" Xiao Lan decided not to do anything, and asked cautiously, "You are not Jasmine."

  The Jasmine-like person in front of him didn't speak, but took a step forward, and then stretched out his hand towards Xiaolan.

  Xiao Lan lowered her head and looked at that hand. It was a slender but not soft hand. Calluses of various sizes could be seen on the fingertips and palm. It was indeed Jasmine's hand.

  Xiao Lan wanted to hold that hand, but held back.

   "Why don't you speak?" Xiaolan asked, "Are you unable to speak?"

  The person in front of him thought for a while, then nodded slowly twice.

  Jasmine can see, but dumb?

  What's the situation?

   After a while, seeing that Xiaolan still didn't let go of his guard, the person in front of him put down his hands, and his little hands dangled twice on both sides of his body.

  Xiao Lan thought, she should be thinking, if she has the ability to think.

   After a while, the person's thinking should have come to fruition. She raised her two hands and groped in front of her chest.

  Xiaolan watched her movements in bewilderment, trying to restrain her urge to scratch her head.

   Within a few seconds, the man held out something from his chest, and she held the thing in both hands, beckoning Xiaolan to take a look.

  Xiaolan stood on tiptoe and looked suspiciously over.

  She spread her hands.

   In the palm of his hand is a small spirit lock whip.

  Xiaolan opened her mouth and reacted for a while, two lines of tears burst out of her eyes.

   "Jasmine..." Xiao Lan looked at the person in front of her with tears in her eyes, trembling all over, "Are you really Jasmine?..."

  Tanshi Jasmine tilted the corner of her mouth, making an expression that could hardly be called a smile, then she reached out and grabbed Xiaolan's hand.

  Xiaolan didn't dodge any more, letting Tanshi Jasmine run forward while holding her hand.

  ***

   "They are back." The Taoist priest stood on the shore, looking into the distance, and said.

   "Is Xiao Lan okay?" Qin Yin asked urgently while supporting Jasmine.

   "It looks fine." The Taoist chief nodded.

   "He's alive and kicking, and seems to be very healthy," Luo Jiutian also said, "And she looks very happy... This silly girl..."

  At about the same time, Xiaolan also saw the crowd in the distance. She held Tanshi Jasmine's hand and became even more excited.

  She ran and waved to everyone.

   "Everyone! Jasmine! Jasmine is coming!..."

   Immediately afterwards, she saw the man in Qin Yin's arms.

Eh? that is not…

  Xiaolan's smile seemed to have dried on her face.

  Why are there two Jasmines?

  Luo Jiutian had already run over, and he checked Xiaolan's head perfunctorily.

   "Looks like he's still alive...Xiao Lan, why are you staring blankly?" Luo Jiutian patted Xiao Lan on the head, "Isn't it stupid?"

  I think you are stupid...

  Xiao Lan looked at Luo Jiutian helplessly, feeling that Jasmine's hand behind her seemed to be getting cold gradually.

  I can't be... I met a ghost, right?

  In this way, it doesn’t seem so scary, it’s just a ghost.

   But this is a ghost in the shape of Jasmine.

Xiaolan was thinking wildly, Jasmine finally stood up with Qin Yin's help, she looked at Xiaolan from a distance, raised her left hand and raised it, in an instant, Xiaolan felt that the people behind her seemed to be a gust of wind, blowing from behind her Floats, and soon disappears.

  Xiao Lan looked back in shock.

   There was nothing behind him.

   "Oh, by the way, you don't know yet," Luo Jiutian patted Xiao Lan on the shoulder, and walked forward with her arms in his arms, "The one who went to save you just now wasn't Jasmine, uh...but it's Jasmine too."

  ...Do you know what the **** you're talking about?

"That's not Jasmine itself, but it's a part of Jasmine." Luo Jiutian called out Panlong Pond, and paved a waterway under the two of them. They stepped on that waterway and walked across the dark river in front of them. "That's Jasmine's probing power condensed into another her."

   "Jasmine's... detection?" Xiao Lan's eyes widened, "Jasmine's detection can now take human form?"

   "It can only become her own appearance," Luo Jiutian said, "You can ask Jasmine for details."

  The two finally returned to the shore. Li Muyuan walked over first, grabbed Xiaolan's wrist and analyzed her pulse.

   "The pulse condition is stable and full of strength," Li Muyuan nodded, satisfied, "There is no sign of physical damage."

   "Xiaolan! Come here!" Qin Yin hugged Jasmine, but couldn't jump over immediately, so he could only shout, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! You scared me to death!..."

  Although Xiaolan wanted to scare Qin Yin to death eight hundred times a day, Xiaolan ran over obediently and hugged Qin Yin and Jasmine.

  Jasmine smiled slightly, and put her right hand lightly on Xiaolan's shoulder.

  Xiaolan looked into those eyes.

  Empty eyes.

  A great sense of loss hung over like a dark cloud.

  So, Jasmine is still invisible.

   "Xiaolan, are you okay?" Jasmine couldn't see Xiaolan's loss, so she only asked softly.

   "I'm fine," Xiaolan thought for a while, then changed her wording, "I'm fine."

   "No injury?"

   "No, no," Xiaolan's mouth trembled, and she rested her head on Jasmine's body, "I didn't get hurt at all."

  The quiet atmosphere lasted for a few minutes, and the Taoist priest finally broke the silence.

   "Xiaolan, so what have you been through?"

  Xiaolan reluctantly raised her head, cleared her throat, and took the lead in saying what she thought was the most important sentence at the moment.

   "I think someone is watching us."

   Everyone looked at each other, waiting for Xiaolan's explanation.

  Xiaolan briefly described her dream, and finally focused on those eyes.

   "Yinian didn't tell me the last thing he wanted to tell me, because he found out that someone was watching us," Xiaolan said, "It should be those eyes."

   "That person can actually enter your dream to spy on you," Luo Jiutian said, wrinkling his eyebrows, "This is simply too dangerous...Xiao Lan, I think you should not sleep."

   “…Is this something I can control?”
