yī qián yī hòu ， liǎng wèi tiān yī de mú yàng 、 qì xī ， quán dōu gēn lǐ fán cǐ shì suǒ jiàn de bìng wú bù tóng 。
一前一后，两位天医的模样、气息，全都跟李凡此世所见的并无不同。
In front and behind, the appearance and aura of the two Heavenly Physicians were exactly the same as what Li Fan had seen in this life.
zhǐ bù guò zhī qián nà wèi qīn shǒu zào jiù yún shuǐ tiān gōng wú biān cǎn àn de tiān yī ， zhěng gè guò chéng shén qíng dōu shì shí fēn mò rán 。
只不过之前那位亲手造就云水天宫无边惨案的天医，整个过程神情都是十分漠然。
However, the previous Heavenly Physician who had personally orchestrated the惨案 at Cloud Water Heaven Palace showed a completely indifferent expression throughout the process. Even with a hint of pleasure in his eyes. The level of perversion left Li Fan feeling inadequate.
shèn zhì yǎn shén shēn chù hái yǒu zhe xiǎng shòu de gǎn jué 。
甚至眼神深处还有着享受的感觉。
The latter Heavenly Physician's anger and sorrow were clearly visible in his eyes. His slight trembling body also well illustrated his emotions.
biàn tài chéng dù ràng lǐ fán dōu zì kuì bù rú 。
变态程度让李凡都自愧不如。
The Heavenly Physician slightly opened his mouth as if saying something, but the scene stopped there.
ér hòu lái zhě tiān yī ， yǎn shén zhōng de zhèn nù 、 tòng xī zhī qíng ， què shì zěn me yě zhē yǎn bú zhù 。
而后来者天医，眼神中的震怒、痛惜之情，却是怎么也遮掩不住。
...
shēn qū wēi wēi de chàn dǒu ， yě néng hěn hǎo de shuō míng tā cǐ kè de xīn qíng 。
身躯微微的颤抖，也能很好的说明他此刻的心情。
Li Fan fell into deep thought.
tiān yī wēi wēi zhāng zuǐ ， sì hū shuō le xiē shén me 。
天医微微张嘴，似乎说了些什么。
"Someone disguised as a Heavenly Physician, massacring the entire Cloud Water Heaven Palace?"
huán yuán chū de huà miàn què dào cǐ wéi zhǐ le 。
还原出的画面却到此为止了。
"The Heavenly Physician came late and was powerless to change anything?"
……
……
Recalling what the Heavenly Physician had said to Heaven Decree and Heaven Desolation about "seeing is not always believing," as well as his actions of healing Heaven Desolation and sealing off the Cloud Water Heaven Palace, Li Fan reached a conclusion.
lǐ fán xiàn rù le shēn sī zhī zhōng 。
李凡陷入了深思之中。
"But simple framing can be explained. Why hasn't the misunderstanding been resolved over thousands of years? Instead, it has deepened among the people of Cloud Water Heaven Palace?"
“ yǒu rén wěi zhuāng chéng tiān yī mú yàng ， tú lù le yún shuǐ tiān gōng mǎn mén ？”
“有人伪装成天医模样，屠戮了云水天宫满门？”
Li Fan was puzzled again.
“ tiān yī shān shān lái chí ， què wú lì huí tiān ？”
“天医姗姗来迟，却无力回天？”
"Perhaps, the answer to this question lies in Hanei."
huí xiǎng qǐ tiān yī zhī qián duì tiān yù yǐ jí tiān jué suǒ shuō ，“ yǎn jiàn wèi bì wèi shí ” de huà 。
回想起天医之前对天谕以及天绝所说，“眼见未必为实”的话。
After some contemplation, Li Fan made a decision.
yǐ jí tiān yī yī zhì tiān jué ， fēng yìn yún shuǐ tiān gōng de jǔ dòng 。
以及天医医治天绝，封印云水天宫的举动。
Once more, he experienced a nightmare cycle. When the fake Heavenly Physician used darkness to obscure Hanei's perception,
lǐ fán bù yóu de chū le zhè ge jié lùn 。
李凡不由得出了这个结论。
Li Fan shone like a light, slightly illuminating the darkness.
“ dàn jiǎn dān de zāi zāng jià huò ， bú shì bù kě yǐ jiě shì 。 wèi hé wù huì shǐ zhōng méi yǒu xiāo chú ， fǎn ér ràng yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhòng rén zài shù qiān nián de zhé mó zhōng ， wù jiě yuè lái yuè shēn ？”
“但简单的栽赃嫁祸，不是不可以解释。为何误会始终没有消除，反而让云水天宫众人在数千年的折磨中，误解越来越深？”
He continuously played back the scenes he had reconstructed, trying to awaken Hanei's dormant consciousness.
lǐ fán yòu yǒu xiē bù jiě 。
李凡又有些不解。
"Wake up! Wake up!"
“ huò xǔ ， zhè ge wèn tí de dá àn ， kě yǐ cóng hàn hǎi shēn shàng xún zhǎo dào 。”
“或许，这个问题的答案，可以从瀚海身上寻找到。”
"The murderer is not the Heavenly Physician!"
chén yín piàn kè hòu ， lǐ fán yǒu le jué yì 。
沉吟片刻后，李凡有了决议。
"Someone else did it! Someone impersonated the Heavenly Physician to sow discord!"
yòu shì jīng lì le è mèng lún huí ， dāng mào pái tiān yī yòng hēi àn zhē yǎn hàn hǎi de gǎn zhī de shí hòu 。
又是经历了噩梦轮回，当冒牌天医用黑暗遮掩瀚海的感知的时候。
...
lǐ fán rú tóng yī dào guāng ， wēi wēi jiāng hēi àn zhào liàng 。
李凡如同一道光，微微将黑暗照亮。
The mental energy echoed in the darkness. Gradually, it was like a giant wave, causing the surrounding space and images to vibrate and become unstable.
tóng shí bù duàn bō fàng zhī qián zì jǐ huán yuán de huà miàn ， shì tú huàn xǐng hàn hǎi chén shuì de yì shí 。
同时不断播放之前自己还原的画面，试图唤醒瀚海沉睡的意识。
"Shut up! Shut up!"
“ xǐng lái ！ xǐng lái ！”
“醒来！醒来！”
"You can't fool me!"
“ xiōng shǒu bú shì tiān yī ！”
“凶手不是天医！”
"How dare you pretend to be a尊者sent by Heaven to enforce justice?"
“ xiōng shǒu lìng yǒu qí rén ！ yǒu rén mào chōng tiān yī ， tiǎo bō lí jiàn ！”
“凶手另有其人！有人冒充天医，挑拨离间！”
"Appearance and aura may be fake, but how can they forge their control over the Heavenly Dao Realm?"
……
……
It seemed that Li Fan's incessant talking provoked Hanei's fury.
shén shí bō dòng bù duàn zài hēi àn zhōng huí dàng 。
神识波动不断在黑暗中回荡。
A blue face appeared in the spherical space around him. Hanei looked at Li Fan with hatred as if he was his enemy.
jiàn jiàn dì ， rú tóng xiān qǐ le jù làng ， zhōu wéi kōng jiān huà miàn biàn dé zhèn dòng 、 bù wěn dìng qǐ lái 。
渐渐地，如同掀起了巨浪，周围空间画面变得震动、不稳定起来。
"Bastard! You want to deceive me!"
“ bì zuǐ ！ bì zuǐ !”
“闭嘴！闭嘴!”
"Even if it wasn't the Heavenly Physician, it could be another尊者!"
“ xiū xiǎng piàn wǒ ！”
“休想骗我！”
"All of them should die!"
“ zūn zhě dài tiān zhí fǎ ， yòu qǐ shì páng rén kě yǐ wěi zhuāng de ？”
“尊者代天执法，又岂是旁人可以伪装的？”
"You should too!"
“ róng mào 、 qì xī kě yǐ shì jiǎ de ， dàn shì tā men zhǎng wò de tiān fǎ jiè bǐng quán ， yòu rú hé néng wěi zào ！”
“容貌、气息可以是假的，但是祂们掌握的天法界柄权，又如何能伪造！”
The voice echoed loudly, and black beams of light emerged from Hanei's illusory face. Then thousands of blue palms struck out, directly crushing Li Fan's mental energy!
fǎng fú lǐ fán de xù xù dāo dāo ， yǐn qǐ le hàn hǎi de bào nù 。
仿佛李凡的絮絮叨叨，引起了瀚海的暴怒。
...
wèi lán sè rén liǎn ， fú xiàn zài zhōu wéi yuán qiú bān de kōng jiān zhōng 。
蔚蓝色人脸，浮现在周围圆球般的空间中。
"Hmph."
hàn hǎi rú tóng kàn zhe chóu rén yì bān ， mǎn shì yuàn dú de kàn zhe lǐ fán zhè wèi shì tú huàn xǐng tā de hǎo xīn rén 。
瀚海如同看着仇人一般，满是怨毒的看着李凡这位试图唤醒他的好心人。
In the true Cloud Water Heaven Palace, where his separated consciousness had lost contact with him, Li Fan grunted.
“ gǒu zéi ！ hái xiǎng gǔ huò wǒ ！”
“狗贼！还想蛊惑我！”
But this minor injury was quickly healed by the natural运转of the [Boundless盈虚 Technique].
“ jiù suàn bú shì tiān yī ！ yě shì qí tā de zūn zhě ！”
“就算不是天医！也是其他的尊者！”
"The control over the Heavenly Dao Realm, the尊者..."
“ tā men dōu gāi sǐ ！”
“他们都该死！”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and recalled what Hanei said in his fury.
“ nǐ yě gāi sǐ ！”
“你也该死！”
"No wonder Hanei and the others were driven mad by their memories. They always believed they didn't make a mistake."
shēng yīn hōng míng ， dào dào hēi sè liú guāng zì hàn hǎi de xū huàn dà liǎn shàng yǒng xiàn 。
声音轰鸣，道道黑色流光自瀚海的虚幻大脸上涌现。
"Originally, apart from appearance, something more represents their identity—the control over the Heavenly Dao."
ér hòu chéng qiān shàng wàn dào wèi lán jù zhǎng yī qí pāi chū ， jiāng bèi wéi zài zhōng jiān de lǐ fán shén shí zhí jiē niǎn suì ！
而后成千上万道蔚蓝巨掌一齐拍出，将被围在中间的李凡神识直接碾碎！
"Heaven Desolation must be the path of killing."
……
……
"Heaven Decree should be the path of teaching."
“ hēng 。”
“哼。”
"The Heavenly Physician is clearly the path of medicine."
zhēn shí yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhōng ， gēn fēn chū qù shén shí duàn kāi lián xì de lǐ fán ， mèn hēng yī shēng 。
真实云水天宫中，跟分出去神识断开联系的李凡，闷哼一声。
Li Fan recalled the scene when he first met Heaven Decree.
bù guò zhè diǎn xiǎo shāng ， hěn kuài jiù zài 【 wú jí yíng xū fǎ 】 zì rán de yùn zhuàn xià bèi xiū fù 。
不过这点小伤，很快就在【无极盈虚法】自然的运转下被修复。
A black ox pulling a cart, with two strange guards—Unusual Strength and Unusual Force—guarding the entrance. Heaven Decree taught all the cultivators who entered his small house. This was their essence, which remained unchanged even as Heaven Decree transformed into something bizarre.
“ tiān fǎ jiè bǐng quán ， zhí tiān zūn zhě ……”
“天法界柄权，执天尊者……”
"The Heavenly Dao is strict and follows rules."
lǐ fán yǎn jīng wēi mī ， huí xiǎng zhe gāng gāng hàn hǎi zài bào nù zhī xià suǒ shuō de huà 。
李凡眼睛微眯，回想着刚刚瀚海在暴怒之下所说的话。
"I now have this method; I will spread it to all beings."
“ guài bù dé hàn hǎi tā men bèi jì yì zhé mó de fēng fēng diān diān ， yě shǐ zhōng jiān xìn zì jǐ méi yǒu rèn cuò xiōng shǒu 。”
“怪不得瀚海他们被记忆折磨的疯疯癫癫，也始终坚信自己没有认错凶手。”
"The Heavenly Dao cannot be violated."
“ yuán lái chú le yàng mào zhī wài ， gèng néng dài biǎo tā men shēn fèn de ， shì tiān dào bǐng quán 。”
“原来除了样貌之外，更能代表他们身份的，是天道柄权。”
...
“ tiān jué ， yīng gāi shì shā fá zhī dào 。”
“天绝，应该是杀伐之道。”
Li Fan recalled the faint sounds of reading he heard outside the small house.
“ tiān yù ， yīng gāi shì xíng jiào huà zhī dào 。”
“天谕，应该是行教化之道。”
"It seems that the Heavenly Dao Realm is the name of their little world."
“ tiān yī ， hěn xiǎn rán ， jiù shì xíng yī zhě zhī dào le 。”
“天医，很显然，就是行医者之道了。”
"Unlike in the Xuanhuang Realm, where everyone wants to take over Heaven, the Heavenly Dao Realm seems to have a very high status for the Heavenly Dao."
lǐ fán bù yóu xiǎng qǐ dì yī cì jiàn dào tiān yù shí de chǎng jǐng 。
李凡不由想起第一次见到天谕时的场景。
"Heaven Desolation, Heaven Decree, and the Heavenly Physician—perhaps they are representatives of the Heavenly Dao rather than just powerful immortals."
qīng niú lā chē ， bù yǔ guài 、 lì luàn shén èr wèi hù zài mén kǒu 。
青牛拉车，不语怪、力乱神二位护在门口。
"The cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm stole eternal life from the若木fruits. But since there is no 若木in the Heavenly Dao Realm, the only way for them to achieve immortality might be by becoming the holders of the Heavenly Dao."
tiān yù rú tóng fū zǐ bān ， duì fán shì jìn rù xiǎo wū zhōng de xiū shì dōu jiào shòu xué yè 。
天谕如同夫子般，对凡是进入小屋中的修士都教授学业。
All the past clues suddenly made sense as Li Fan thought deeply.
zhè suàn de shàng shì tā men de běn zhì ， zhè yì diǎn jiù suàn tiān yù shēn huà guǐ yì yě méi yǒu gǎi biàn 。
这算的上是他们的本质，这一点就算天谕身化诡异也没有改变。
By piecing things together, he gradually uncovered the secrets of the Heavenly Physician's past.
“ tiān fǎ sēn rán ， zūn guī shǒu jǔ 。”
“天法森然，尊规守矩。”
Li Fan also remembered that when Zhang Haobo was trapped with Guan Qingfeng and his sword enlightenment, after his death, information in the Heaven Desolation sky revealed that he had achieved the foundation of Dao by attaining the [Heavenly Fiend Sword Intent].
“ wú jīn dé fǎ ， biàn chuán zhòng shēng 。”
“吾今得法，遍传众生。”
But after meeting Heaven Desolation, everyone at Cloud Water Heaven Palace called the sword used by Heaven Desolation "Heavenly Murder."
“ tiān fǎ bù kě wéi 。”
“天法不可违。”
Li Fan had already suspected this might be due to different manifestations of the same sword in different worlds.
……
……
Now it was confirmed.
lǐ fán huí yì zhe dāng chū zài xiǎo wū wài yǐn yǐn tīng dào de dú shū shēng 。
李凡回忆着当初在小屋外隐隐听到的读书声。
"Heavenly Murder is also a form of Heavenly Dao control," Li Fan thought. "With two types of control, that's why he could survive and not turn into something bizarre; only his mind became mad."
“ kàn lái tiān fǎ jiè jiù shì tiān yī tā men suǒ chù xiǎo shì jiè de míng zì le 。”
“看来天法界就是天医他们所处小世界的名字了。”
"Only the Heavenly Physician who went out for some reason survived the massacre."
“ gēn xuán huáng jiè rén rén dōu xiǎng qǔ tiān ér dài bù yí yàng ， tiān fǎ yī jiè ， sì hū tiān dào de dì wèi jí gāo 。”
“跟玄黄界人人都想取天而代不一样，天法一界，似乎天道的地位极高。”
"When he returned, it was too late—the Heavenly Dao Realm had already become a dead place..."
“ tiān jué 、 tiān yù 、 tiān yī tā men ， yǔ qí shuō shì qiáng dà de cháng shēng xiū shì ， gèng xiàng shì tiān dào de dài biǎo 。”
“天绝、天谕、天医他们，与其说是强大的长生修士，更像是天道的代表。”
Although he uncovered some mysteries, the unknowns only increased. The mystery hidden in the fog seemed even more complex.
“ xuán huáng jiè xiū shì cóng ruò mù guǒ shí zhōng ， qiè qǔ le tiān dì cháng shēng zhī lì 。 ér tiān fǎ jiè ， huò xǔ yīn wèi méi yǒu ruò mù de cún zài ， suǒ yǐ xiū shì men xiǎng yào cháng shēng ， wéi yī de tú jìng jiù shì dàng tiān dào de zhí zhǎng zhě 。”
“玄黄界修士从若木果实中，窃取了天地长生之力。而天法界，或许因为没有若木的存在，所以修士们想要长生，唯一的途径就是当天道的执掌者。”
Who was the one impersonating the Heavenly Physician to commit these murders?
guò wǎng de zhǒng zhǒng xiàn suǒ huò rán guàn tōng ， lǐ fán ruò yǒu suǒ sī 。
过往的种种线索豁然贯通，李凡若有所思。
According to Hanei's words, this person wasn't just changing his appearance; he actually held control over the Heavenly Dao Realm, which is why he was regarded as a尊者by Cloud Water Heaven Palace. And he could transform between the roles of Heavenly Physician and Heaven Desolation...
pīn còu zhī xià ， guān yú tiān yī de guò qù mì mì ， yě zhú jiàn xiǎn xiàn chū lái 。
拼凑之下，关于天医的过去秘密，也逐渐显现出来。
The strength of this person was beyond imagination.
lǐ fán yòu xiǎng dào ， dāng chū zhāng hào bō guān guān qīng fēng kùn zhù de jiàn bǐng wù dào 。 zài tā sǐ hòu ， xuán huáng tiān dào de yǔn luò tiān mù zhōng xiǎn xiàn de xìn xī ， shì yǐ 【 tiān shā jiàn yì 】 chéng jiù dào jī 。
李凡又想到，当初张浩波关观青风困住的剑柄悟道。在他死后，玄黄天道的陨落天幕中显现的信息，是以【天煞剑意】成就道基。
What made it even more puzzling was that such power seemed to have some grudge against the Heavenly Dao Realm. Not only did they want to massacre the sect, but after its destruction, the realm itself would be plunged into endless self-destruction.
dàn yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhòng rén ， yù jiàn tiān jué zhī hòu ， duì yú tiān jué shǐ yòng de nà bǐng jiàn ， quán dōu yǐ 【 tiān shā 】 chēng zhī 。
但云水天宫众人，遇见天绝之后，对于天绝使用的那柄剑，全都以【天杀】称之。
...
yuán běn lǐ fán jiù yǐn yǐn cāi cè ， zhè huò xǔ jiù shì nà bǐng jiàn zài bù tóng shì jiè de bù tóng yǎn huà 。
原本李凡就隐隐猜测，这或许就是那柄剑在不同世界的不同衍化。
Outside Hanei's residence, Li Fan frowned.
xiàn zài guǒ rán dé dào zhèng shí 。
现在果然得到证实。
"Did the Heavenly Physician send me here just to guide me to uncover the truth of what happened back then?"
“ tiān shā ， gēn tiān jué 、 tiān yù tā men yī yàng ， huò xǔ yě shì tiān zhī bǐng quán de yī zhǒng 。”
“天杀，跟天绝、天谕他们一样，或许也是天之柄权的一种。”
"The black怨念that纠缠Hanei is a result of thousands of years of accumulated hatred. I'm not sure if my current medical expertise can resolve it."
“ tiān jué liǎng zhǒng bǐng quán zài shēn ， huò xǔ zhè yě shì tā néng bǎo cún xìng mìng 、 méi yǒu biàn chéng guǐ yì ， zhǐ shì biàn dé fēng fēng diān diān de yuán yīn 。”
“天绝两种柄权在身，或许这也是他能保存性命、没有变成诡异，只是变得疯疯癫癫的原因。”
"But I can see that this seems to be the result of multiple purifications over the years. Clearly, the Heavenly Physician hasn't abandoned Cloud Water Heaven Palace and its people."
“ wéi yǒu yīn wèi mǒu zhǒng yuán yīn wài chū de tiān yī ， xìng miǎn yú nán 。”
“唯有因为某种原因外出的天医，幸免于难。”
"Even after they turned into something bizarre."
“ děng tā fǎn huí ， yī qiè dōu yǐ jīng tài chí le ， tiān fǎ jiè zǎo yǐ jīng biàn chéng yī piàn sǐ dì ……”
“等他返回，一切都已经太迟了，天法界早已经变成一片死地……”
"Mmm..."
suī rán jiě kāi le xiē xǔ mí tuán ， dàn wèi zhī de què sī háo méi yǒu jiǎn shǎo 。 fǎn ér yǐn cáng zài mí wù zhōng ， gèng jiā xiǎn de pū shuò mí lí 。
虽然解开了些许谜团，但未知的却丝毫没有减少。反而隐藏在迷雾中，更加显得扑朔迷离。
Li Fan's vigilance towards the Heavenly Physician slightly decreased with such reasoning.
nà wèi wěi zhuāng chéng tiān yī xíng xiōng zhī rén ， jiū jìng shì shuí ？
那位伪装成天医行凶之人，究竟是谁？
"Well, since I'm here, it might as well help a bit. That way, I can report back to the Heavenly Physician."
àn zhào hàn hǎi de shuō fǎ ， tā kě jué duì bú shì jiǎn dān biàn huàn le róng mào zhè me jiǎn dān 。
按照瀚海的说法，他可绝对不是简单变幻了容貌这么简单。
(End of Chapter)
In front and behind, the appearance and aura of the two Heavenly Physicians were exactly the same as what Li Fan had seen in this life.
However, the previous Heavenly Physician who had personally orchestrated the惨案 at Cloud Water Heaven Palace showed a completely indifferent expression throughout the process. Even with a hint of pleasure in his eyes. The level of perversion left Li Fan feeling inadequate.
