After the Sunset

The young Daoist monk looked at Jing Jiu for a long while, the baffled expression in his eyes easing in the end. He said with a smile, "Oh, it's you."

"Yes, it's me," returned Jing Jiu.

The young Daoist monk asked, "Why did you change back to the look you had when you were little?"

"Big Brother, you also have the look from when you were young," said Jing Jiu.

The young Daoist monk was none other than the Immortal Taiping who had fled to the Green Sky Mirror; for some reason, like Jing Jiu, he had changed into a youth.

"It's probably because we're both spiritual souls. Forget it, though. What I don't understand is…"

The Immortal Taiping said, "I've erased my memories, and I can't even remember who I am. How did you find me?"

Jing Jiu held up the blood-red feather in his hand.
