Chapter 5 fifth night fox

There is Hu Suisui, in Biqiliang.The heart is worried, the son has no clothes. "go out!" I picked up the broom and rushed the creature in front of me. It was an exceptionally small fox, its white fur was covered with mud, and it was drenched by the rain, looking extremely embarrassed.However, I will not sympathize with the alien creatures who invaded my territory, so I continued to stare at him and shouted: "Get out! Don't come in! This house is mine!" It is said to be a house, but it is actually just two thatched huts built on the mountainside. Because no one has lived there for many years, it is dilapidated.But, for a ghost, that's more than enough.

Therefore, I firmly guard this piece of pure land that belongs to me. Even if the young fox looks very pitiful, its left leg is injured, and it is still bleeding profusely, I will not sympathize with it! "Aren't you going out yet? Let me tell you, if you go up this mountain, you'll be the Tianyi Temple. Have you heard of the Tianyi Temple? It's the place where the most powerful Taoists cultivate. They, can I like a little fox demon like you the most, catch it and refine it into a pill, eat it and it will be great for you!" I did not lie. This mountain is called Poluo Mountain, which is more than 2,340 feet high, and at the top of the highest mountain is the famous Tiandao Temple.The national teachers of the current dynasty, the national teachers of the previous dynasty, and the national teachers of the previous dynasty all came from there.Therefore, every year, tens of thousands of people trek thousands of miles to go up the mountain very piously, asking the Taoist priests to catch demons, ward off evil spirits, and channel spirits to pray for blessings...

However, they all walked from the north of the mountain, while my thatched hut was on the south side behind the mountain, surrounded by steep slopes and lush forests, so there were few people. So, for such a heavy rainy day, how did that little fox appear here? The little fox raised its head and looked straight at me. A thunderbolt flashed outside the window, making its eyes infinitely clear and bright, like the first ray of morning light piercing through the darkness, which made my heart skip a beat. But it didn't say anything after all, it lowered its head, turned around silently, and limped its left leg.There is a thousand-year-old locust tree outside the house. Because no one cleaned the ground, a thick layer of leaves had accumulated on the ground, and it was already soaked by rain.It walked over and crawled on the wet leaves, its body trembling, looking very cold.

Such a picture made me feel irritable, so I simply closed the door without looking at it, picked up the sackcloth beside the chair, and continued knitting. For this hemp garment, I waited for the mulberry to mature ten years ago, then soaked it in water, soaked it, degummed it, then split it into strips, connected them into threads, and twisted them one by one.In such a process, I often feel powerless, and sometimes my fingers will pass through the silk numb uncontrollably, and there is nowhere to focus.Every time from that time, I would hate myself for becoming a ghost, and I would be in a bad mood.

It was raining heavily, and the roof began to leak. I hurriedly moved the baskets. It was nothing to drench me. If it ruined me, what would happen to these precious things?However, although it is dark at this moment, it is still noon, and my ability is often the weakest at this time, so the result of all my thoughts is just to sink the basket a little deeper into the softened mud. Looking at Si Ma in the basket, I faintly felt a kind of sincere despair. I stomped my feet, gritted my teeth, and finally got up, opened the door, and shouted to the outside: "Come in!" The little fox raised his head, his eyes showed a bit of surprise, while I lowered my face and said coldly: "I didn't take you in for nothing, you have to help me with work."

Because of such a sentence, I finally got to know Li Xi formally. Li Xi is a very strange child. I can't tell the fox's age, but judging from its appearance when it transformed into a human form, I guess it is no more than a hundred years old at most. He is different from other twittering monsters. He is very silent, doesn't eat meat, walks very slowly, and his quiet face always has a young and mature appearance, which makes people angry when they look at it.So I often made things difficult for him, and ordered him arrogantly, asking him to help me pick mulberry, rest the roof, go down the mountain to steal buttons and spinning wheels, and do everything I can't do during the day.

He never said a word and endured silently. So, the roof of the thatched hut was repaired, and the rain would no longer leak; It's open.Although I can't smell the fragrance of flowers, I still feel very happy to see such delicate and beautiful colors. I asked him, "Are you alone? What about your people?" He shook his head. I asked again: "Where did you come from? Why did you come to Mount Borneo?" He still shook his head. I asked again: "What happened to your previous injury?" Seeing that he was about to shake his head again, when I got angry, I grabbed his face and broke it to both sides: "Don't say anything, right? Tell you, I ask, and you have to answer, otherwise I will kick you out! Never again I've taken you in!"

He raised his eyes and looked at me steadfastly, that clear gaze seemed to have been shooting into the depths of my soul.I shuddered slightly, and he finally spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, but it sounded nice: "You won't." "What, what?" He said slowly, "You want me to help you spin, so you won't drive me away." I was speechless... No wonder humans often say that foxes are the most annoying of all creatures. Even a taciturn fox has the ability to make people pissed off. In order to cover up my embarrassment, I yelled at him angrily: "It's good that you know that you are my slave, go to work for me! These, those, and those over there, all spun out for me today!!!"

He walked to the spinning wheel as he said and started spinning, the creaking sound echoed in the quiet room, the window lattice was half open, I raised my head and stared at the night sky outside the window, the melancholy moonlight penetrated me like a veil The body fell on the ground, unable to cast my shadow. I suddenly felt a little sad. Because, tomorrow... Tomorrow is the first day of junior high school again. The first day of every month is the day when Tianyi Temple opens a forum to discuss Taoism. At that time, there will be a lot of people on the top of the mountain, which is very lively.It was so hilarious it made me sad.

"Hey," I called him, "Tell me, will it rain tomorrow...?" He looked up at the sky, his eyes flashed towards me with doubts. I lowered my head and buried my head between my arms. My voice sounded like a piece of paper submerged in water, which changed shape when it surfaced: "It will be fine if it rains..." If it rains... just fine. However, the starry sky outside is bright and the sky is high and cloudless. It can be seen that tomorrow will be another sunny day. It's really... sad... Although ghosts do not actually need to sleep, in order to accumulate thought power to weave robes, I still rest on time every day like a living person.When I rest, I enter a drowsy floating state that is very dreamlike.

And that night, I had a strange dream. I saw a pair of strange red eyes and sharp fangs. In the flames of the sky, someone was running fast, as if looking for something, but I knew that he would never find it.At that moment, I felt someone pushing me, and when I opened my eyes, it was Li Xi. I was very angry that my rest was interrupted, so I glared at him and said angrily, "What are you doing?" His head tilted in a certain direction, and I followed his line of sight, and saw strings of drops of water dripping from the half-opened window sill—it was raining! I swished to the window and looked out. It was not an illusion, nor was it an illusion. It was really raining outside—a light rain, a gloomy sky, and overlapping clouds, which blocked the sun, which I dreaded most. . I stretched out my fingers tremblingly, the raindrops slipped through my fingertips, and fell down. I seemed to be able to feel the coldness, and I couldn't get any more excited. I turned around and grabbed Li Xi's shoulder and said, "It's raining." It's raining! It's really raining!" He looked at me, still expressionless. However, at this moment, I didn't care about his reaction anymore. I was immersed in a huge joy, and said happily: "Great, I can go up the mountain! I can also enter the temple..." He was finally taken aback: "Are you going to Tianyiguan?" "Yes! Today is the first day of the new year. They will set up an altar to preach, and all the priests will participate! Ah, it must be very spectacular..." He looked at me like he was looking at a lunatic, and after a long time, he said two words: "I will die." I stuck out my tongue at him: "No! Who said that a ghost can't listen to their sermons? I'll go right away!" As I said, I immediately flew out of the window and flew up the mountain. Sure enough, as I expected, although it was raining, devout men and women continued to go up the mountain with umbrellas, and the crowd could be seen from a distance, squeezing the huge Taoist temple to the ground. I floated to the big locust tree in front of the temple and sat down. From this position, I could clearly see the paddock in front of the temple. On the seven-foot-high Buddhist altar, two rows of priests sat in turn, and sitting in the middle was the most eye-catching The one in the position is the current Tianyi Temple Master - Zhuang Wei. My eyes rested on him with infinite attachment. He is really a very, very handsome man.So handsome, it is a sin to let such a man become a monk. Although all the Taoist priests wore uniform blue Taoist robes, none of them dressed as well as him. The so-called extraordinary and free from vulgarity should be so; the so-called immortal style is also the same. That's right, the reason why I stayed in Mount Borneo so long, even though I knew that if I was discovered, I would definitely be wiped out by the Taoist priests, I couldn't bear to leave, because—— Zhuang Wei. I came here ten years ago to listen to Zhuang Wei's teaching. As long as there is no sun, I can fly up the mountain, and then sit on this big tree, watching him occasionally pass by in front of the temple, and the wind that brushes the corner of his clothes will also blow towards me, so in that wind, there is his breath. Even this distant gaze makes me feel satisfied. He sometimes goes down the mountain, but he will definitely come back on the first day of every month.I just really, really long for the rain so I can see him. Just like me at this moment, watching him calmly say to the believers, there is a lot of happiness wandering in every corner of the body, it is a kind of warmth that has not been seen for a long time. The branches of the locust tree sank slightly, and when I noticed something strange, I couldn't help turning my head, and was shocked: "Why did you follow me?" Li Xi returned to the fox shape, squatting on the branch next to me, her two pointed ears kept turning, and her tail flicked.I panicked: "How can you appear like this? Go away! It will be terrible if you are discovered! It doesn't matter if you kill yourself, don't implicate me!" I stretched out my hand to push him away, but he jumped towards the front of the hall. There was an exclamation in the crowd. It's over—I thought, this time, I'm really throwing myself into a trap! Seeing the Taoist priests stand up suddenly, there was a commotion, Li Xi's white hair was very eye-catching in the blue robes, and they rushed towards Zhuang Wei. Zhuang Wei still sat cross-legged on the spot, not as panicked as the others, seeing it pounced, he just waved the whisk in his hand lightly.In an instant, I seemed to see a lotus flower blooming in the whisk, blooming in an instant, and then drifting away. And Li Xi has been repulsed. He rolled back a dozen somersaults before he stopped, and when he landed again, he was surrounded by Taoist priests. The idiot!Courting death is not the way! I was very angry and didn't want to deal with him, but I didn't know why, but my body reacted consciously first, flew over, and a gust of wind swept over everyone's eyes, then grabbed his left paw and said anxiously: "Go!" !" I vaguely heard the Taoists exclaiming: "Why is there still a ghost? Quick! Stop them..." At this time, Li Xi picked up a formula and threw a barrier to block the Taoist priests.And I didn't care to look back, just flew down the mountain at my fastest speed and returned to the hut. After making sure no one was chasing him, I flicked his paw and said angrily, "Did you do it on purpose?" He fell to the ground, changed back into a boy with a bang, raised his white face, and looked at me without saying a word, with a gloomy and weird expression. "Are you a pig? Even pigs are smarter than you! How dare you provoke them! Seriously, why should I save you? Now I've been exposed, you troublesome bastard! If I had known, I wouldn't have taken you in that day! Do you know how long it has been since I saw Zhuang Wei? One hundred and seventy-three days!! Because the first day of the lunar new year has been sunny for several months, I finally hoped for a rainy day, and you gave me Messed up! You pay! You pay! You pay!" I grabbed his lapel and tugged desperately. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and the more I thought about it, the more unwilling I was, and finally I pushed him out of the room, "Go! I don’t want to see you anymore! I don’t want you to spin and weave for me anymore, you go, go, go back where you came from, and you are not allowed to appear again in the future!” I slammed the door panel up hard, causing the ground to shake for a while, and then my body could no longer support it, and I slid along the door panel and sat on the ground. An unspeakable exhaustion and loss wrapped me tightly. I knew that I was being unreasonable. I also knew that it was still raining outside. I also knew that the little fox had nowhere to go—if he had, he would have After leaving, why would you stay here for me to be enslaved and to be angry with me?However, none of these are as important as Zhuang Wei! When I thought that after this riot, the Taoist temple would definitely be on strict guard, and I might not be able to visit Zhuang Wei secretly in the future, I felt extremely sad.It's all Li Xi's fault, it's all Li Xi's fault! Why couldn't I take him in for a while that day? Without him, what happened today would not have happened. If it hadn't been for him... I buried my head between my legs, letting the sound of wind and rain pass through a thin door, in the It echoed in my ears, one after another, as if they were all chanting the same name—— Zhuang Wei, Zhuang Wei, Zhuang Wei... The first time I met Zhuang Wei was the day when he went up the mountain to learn art from a teacher. It was a very cold winter, and the snow as heavy as goose feathers piled up the entire Mount Borneo into an iceberg.And he, with his hair loose and covered in blood, walked up the steps step by step, and knelt outside the gate. At that time, the master of the temple, Ying Tong, had no intention of recruiting any more disciples, but he insisted on not leaving, so he knelt outside the temple for three days and three nights. The heavy snow didn't stop, he knelt motionless, tightly hugging a torn robe, his handsome and flawless face showed no expression at all. In the end, Yingtong finally relented, and when the Taoist priests helped him up, his legs were completely frostbitten, and since then, he has been unable to walk again. During those three days, three nights and thirty-six hours, I kept looking at him, and was so moved by that kind of perseverance and perseverance.Before that, I had never seen a man like that; after that, he was all my heaven and earth. That's right, Zhuang Wei is a man I love deeply in this bright universe.Even if he is a human, I am a ghost; he is a Taoist priest, and I am an evil barrier. I love him so humblely and without any hope, as long as I can see him, it is my greatest happiness.Now, it has been completely destroyed by Li Xi.Why not make me sad? After a long, long time like this, the light in the room was getting darker and darker, and the sermon must be over when it was dark.Since Zhuang Wei was appointed as the new temple master last year, he has become very, very busy. Once the first day of junior high school is over, he will definitely go down the mountain. Should I sneak a look at him on the way down the mountain? With this thought in mind, I quickly got up, opened the door, and unexpectedly met the person outside the door, and was almost frightened—it was Li Xi.He hasn't left yet! The rain was pattering on him, his hair and clothes were covered with water, I stared at him, he looked at me, and then I took a step back and slammed the door shut again. The room is dark, with a lot of boxes and baskets neatly piled up in the corner facing the west. When I think of the little fox that I shut the door at the moment to find them for me, my eyes can't help but One hot.I pursed my lips, gritted my teeth, stomped my feet, and finally let out an irritable scream, opened the door, and scolded him: "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you still hanging on? Tell you, I won't forgive you, don't I thought that standing outside in the rain would soften my heart and forgive you..." He suddenly said, "Why save me?" I was startled: "What, what?" He raised his head, his glazed pupils were as bright as morning stars, passing through his long wet hair, and reflected his bloodless face, he stared at me without blinking, and said slowly, "Don't come down to save me, don't you?" Is it okay? Isn’t it okay to stay on the tree? Why do you fly down to save me regardless of the consequences?” "I..." I was asked, how did I know what was wrong with me at that time, so I rushed down inexplicably, "I didn't want to save you! I have nothing to do with you, you ran away suddenly I don’t feel sorry for you at all, I don’t sympathize with you at all, I reluctantly give you a little bit of tiles because of your ability to work... I’m talking about What... Anyway, I didn't try to save you! It was an accident, an accident, an accident—" When I yelled the third accident indiscriminately, he suddenly rushed over and hugged me.When my body was suddenly touched, my voice stopped abruptly—— The whole person was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground by him just like that. Whether it's his warm body or the flat mud below, it's so unreal. I stared blankly at the roof, not understanding what happened—why did he hug me, and why, could he hug me? Such a close distance made his voice extremely clear, accompanied by the sound of heartbeats, it came into my ears—— "thanks……" As soon as my nose was sore, I suddenly collapsed a little. The straw on the roof beams was blown swaying above my head by the wind. I thought I must have cried, otherwise, why would my vision become more and more blurred? "Li Xi...I, I, I..." Why can't the ghost cry anymore?Even if I am so sad, even if the eyes are so sore and uncomfortable, even if I know I am crying, but without tears, the virtual body cannot flow out the liquid of reality, and that liquid is just the proof The source of life, "I really like Zhuang Wei..." He buried his head on my right shoulder, I couldn't see his expression, I could only feel his body tremble, and then he hugged me tighter. "But, but... why, I am a ghost, and he is a Taoist priest who catches ghosts? Why did God arrange for a ghost like me to meet a person like him?" Impassable ditch. Unspeakable love. A future that cannot be expected. In the dark, what is arranging my fate to make me encounter such a catastrophe? Just like, why did such a fox appear in my long ghost life? I do not understand. Li Xi and I reconciled inexplicably like that.I no longer asked him to go, but he continued to silently help me collect mulberry, dye cloth, and do everything I couldn't do. Spring is slowly warming up, and the flowers in front of the house are blooming more and more vividly. I go out to water them every day, hoping that they will wither later. One day, when Li Xi went down the mountain to find needles for me, when I was watering the flowers, I suddenly heard footsteps.It was the sound of human footsteps, and it belonged to two people.I'm a little surprised, what kind of people would come here? Although I knew that the other party could not see me, I still hid on the roof and poked out a pair of eyes to look out. I saw a green robe walking through the woods, approaching—it was actually a Taoist priest of Tianyiguan. Could it be that the whereabouts of me and Li Xi were leaked and they tracked them down here?I was nervous, but I saw another red dress appeared in the forest, and the second person was a young girl. The girl said with a coquettish smile, "You know how to pick a place, but you actually know that there is a room here, ah, there are such beautiful poppies in front of you!" The Taoist said "Hey": "I remember that there were no such flowers here before..." Before the words finished, the girl had already stuck to him, hugged him like a vine, and said softly: "Since the capital left, I have been Missing you, you... but also thinking about me?" "Hongzhu..." The Taoist called her name affectionately, and the two hugged each other. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it wasn't for me, but a Taoist priest who didn't abide by the rules to meet his lover privately here.I looked at those two people, feeling a little amused, and a little envious—in any case, they were in love. embraced body; Induced breath; The joy of falling in love with each other... really makes people envious. I couldn't help but sighed, and when I realized that something was wrong, the Taoist priest jumped up and shouted, "Who is it?" His gaze swept towards my hiding place with incomparable sharpness, and I suddenly felt that I had been seen through. This man's mana is not weak, and I am definitely not an opponent! I quickly turned around and was about to escape when two fire dragons whizzed towards me. The raging red reminded me of something extremely frightening. My steps staggered involuntarily. A net fell from the sky and covered me. The Taoist priest rushed in front of me and sneered at me: "Monster! Do you still want to escape?" Hong Zhu tremblingly said: "What is this, this, this?" The Taoist hugged her: "Don't be afraid, it's just a lonely ghost. By the way, didn't you always want to see how I get rid of the demon? Let me show you how to get rid of it, okay?" Hongzhu rolled her eyes and smiled sweetly: "Okay, okay, I want to see what skills you have." My heart sank— What made me even more helpless was that with a touch of the Taoist's finger, the net covering me burst into flames, trying to swallow me up. Huoguang... the person who appeared in the nightmare countless times, running, shouting, and searching frantically... At this moment, the past and the past are covered, and I can only curl up and scream: "Don't! Don't—don't—" I didn't hurt anyone!I don't want to be out of my wits!I don't want to just disappear!I want to see Zhuang Wei again!help me!Someone help me—help me— A gust of wind suddenly blew, and the scorching heat around me instantly dropped to freezing point. I turned my head and saw Li Xi. He is back! "Go! Don't come here! You won't be this Taoist priest's opponent. If you come, you will die in vain! Run away, little idiot! Idiot!" I hissed, but he ignored my words, It suddenly turned into a fox shape in the air, and its size also became very large. I was stunned by the sight in front of me - what's going on here?Isn't it a little fox?How could it become so big in just a few days?For self-cultivation, the stronger the aura, the bigger the monster will become when it appears.And Li Xi, no matter where you look at it, is just a little goblin, how could it become as huge as a dragon? The Taoist priest fluttered his fingers and flew out hundreds of Taoist talismans, each with a sharp arc like a sword blade.Seeing that Li Xi was about to die under those Dao talismans, I couldn't bear to look any longer, but in the blink of an eye, everything changed again—— With a light sweep of the huge white tail with an indescribable elegance, those Dao talismans instantly turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.Li Xi rushed towards the Taoist priest, biting his neck with her sharp white teeth, and in an instant, blood spurted out - it scared the girl and I was also shocked. The memory related to red is like a dagger, piercing into my mind, tearing apart the chaos, tearing apart the peace, allowing me to see a certain picture, overlapping with the scene in front of me at this moment... Yes, this scene is all too familiar to me. Realized that for ten years, it has been a sharp knife hanging in my heart, torturing me, digging me, reminding me—— That's how I died... I remembered, I was bitten to death by a fox... That fox also has such a fur that is as bright as snow, and also has such sharp fangs, four feet with fire, bit me, burned me, ate me... I let out a scream, and this time, I never saw the end again. It was dark. "Ayu...Ayu..." who?Who is calling me? The boundless darkness slowly burst into light, and I saw a sea of ​​flowers in front of me, which were exactly the same as those planted by Li Xi in front of my hut. "Ayu...Ayu..." The clear and bright voice, with infinite gentleness, is like singing a thousand-year-old mantra, the sound is in the ears, and the words are soothing to the heart. who are you?who are you? I saw a very faint shadow, floating in the sea of ​​flowers, that person was constantly looking for something, but, I know, he will never find it, never find it... As soon as my heart ached, I woke up.Opening his eyes, he saw a beautiful little face. A pair of eyes are black and bright, like pearls in the stream under the moonlight at night, in the deepest part of the pupils, sparkling light, dots of stars, a lot of emotions are just like that deposited in them, looming and revealing. There is only one pair of such eyes in the world.And the owner of those eyes is called Li Xi. I raised a hand, pushed him away, then sat up, and flew outside the house, it was empty, no Taoist priests, no girls, only a pool of blood, frozen in place, shocking. "You go." I have said this sentence to Li Xi many times, but this time, I said it very weakly. But when he heard it, his face, which had always been calm, suddenly changed color. "You ate him." Just like that fox ate me, "I can't live with you anymore. Although I also know that you dealt with that Taoist priest to save me, but... sorry, I can't do it Yes. Now you know the reason why I rejected you so much in the first place? And after what happened just now, I can’t face you again. When I see you, I will remember how I died and how Alone, turned into this ghostly appearance..." He reached out and wanted to touch me, but I avoided it sideways. At the same time, I covered my face hard, couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into tears: "You go... I beg you, I Really, really don't want to see you again! Please, don't appear in front of me in the future, even if you pity me, please..." The body was very uncomfortable, something exploded and kept surging out, and it even made me feel that in the next moment, I would completely dissipate, my soul would be scattered, and I would cease to exist. As for Li Xi, who kept looking at me steadfastly, the hand stopped and stopped, and finally landed on my head. In this world, only he can touch me, but I can no longer face it.I know it's not the fox that ate me, but they look alike. Why?Why did God treat me like this?It's not enough for me to meet Zhuang Wei, but also for me to meet Li Xi? Li Xi let out a faint sigh, and after the sigh, the hand resting on my hair left.There was a dead silence all around, and when I looked up again, he was gone. This time, it was really gone. Unlike last time, when I chased him away, he was still stubbornly standing outside the door in the rain. Obviously it was the result I wanted, but looking at the poppies swaying in the wind, I felt that something was missing somewhere, or in other words, my three souls were lost and could never be fulfilled again. I'm such a failure.When you are a human, you will die unexpectedly; when you are a ghost, it is even more unbearable. A gust of wind blew and made the door of the hut creak. I turned my head and saw the sackcloth on the table—maybe, for me now, the only thing I have to do is to finish knitting this garment. I must finish it no matter how many years it takes. Because, that is the deepest obsession that I still stay in the world in the body of a ghost. So, I went into the house, picked up the sackcloth and continued to weave. These days, with the help of Li Xi, I have already finished more than half of the knitting, leaving only the last sleeve, but now that Li Xi is gone, I want to finish this independently. Only sleeves, I don't know how many years will be left. But that's okay, if my obsession persists, I will never be able to turn into reincarnation. In that way, I can continue to look at Zhuang Wei and watch him grow older, that's okay... Just when I thought of Zhuang Wei, and my heart that was trembling because of Li Xi's departure finally regained a little warmth, there was a sudden noise outside the door. A voice said: "It's right here! My Lord, that fox demon and that ghost live here!" The voice was so familiar, the sackcloth slipped from my hands, I turned my head stiffly, and saw dozens of priests coming from outside the hut, the one standing in the middle was the one I thought had been eaten by Li Xi just now The Taoist who fell. So he didn't die? ? ! ! ! how so…… However, my brain has no time to think about this problem, because when my eyes fell on another person, the sky fell, the ground cracked, and my world collapsed—— The man was sitting on a wheelchair, with a wide robe and wide sleeves, a jade face and a high crown, like an exiled immortal. It's none other than Zhuang Wei. I knocked over the table with a slap and got up and wanted to run.A ray of white light came over, like a soft but extremely strong hand, grabbed my waist all of a sudden, and I couldn't move immediately. Immediately afterwards, the body was turned around, facing Zhuang Wei far away. Only then did I see clearly that it was his whisk that caught me. "The Lord of the Temple! She is the ghost, and there is also a vixen. She is more advanced... Hey, evildoer, tell me, where is your accomplice?" Imprinting, but the wound has healed and no longer bleeds.In other words, Li Xi didn't really want to eat him and let him go, but he looked back and asked for help, leading Zhuang Wei to catch us. Zhuang Wei looked at me quietly and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's your name?" I looked at the man in front of me who was thinking day and night, and smiled miserably——I really didn't expect it to end like this. Although I have known for a long time that humans and ghosts have different paths, and that he is my nemesis, I always have expectations and luck, imagining that I can watch him grow old slowly in a safe life, and I feel that I am happy enough. But in the end, it still came to this step. Now that the matter has come to this, I calmed down and smiled lightly: "Lonely ghost, where did you get the name?" He glanced at the hut behind me: "Have you been living here all these years?" "Ok." "Where's the fox?" "he's gone." "Where did you go?" "I don't know. The only thing I know is that he will never come back." Zhuang Wei was silent. The previous Taoist said: "Hmph, it knows that it has caused a terrible disaster, so it left you and ran away alone? Why didn't you run away? Three people died in the Shenjia Village at the foot of the mountain. You did it?" I chuckled. He glared at me: "What are you laughing at?" "I've lived here for ten years and only killed three people. I'm really ashamed of my identity... That's why I laughed." His face flushed immediately, and he said from embarrassment: "Monster! How dare you laugh at our family when you are about to die?" As he spoke, he stretched out his five fingers and was about to pat my Tianling acupoint. A white thread gently supported his hand. It turned out to be Zhuang Wei's Fuchen again: "Wait a minute, Ziyan, I still have something to ask." The Taoist priest who called Ziyan hurriedly retreated. Zhuang Wei's gaze swept over me like moonlight, and landed on the piles of silk in the room: "Why do you live here?" "My pleasure." "Where do these things come from?" "Why should I tell you?" Ziyan on the side said angrily: "Nie Zhan, how dare you speak to the temple master like this!" Zhuang Wei raised a hand, stopped his words, and looked at me with gentle and calm eyes as always: "No monsters are allowed within a radius of ten miles of Mt. Poluo—do you know the commandment of Tianyiguan?" I know, I have been on the mountain for ten years, how could I not know?Otherwise, how could I be so desperate after Li Xi was exposed for the first time. "Then," his mouth opened and closed, as if deliberately enlarged and slowed down, word by word, as if it had been said for a thousand years, passed into my ears, "do you want to go by yourself, or do you want me to kill you?" about you?" Do you want to go by yourself, or do you want me to kill you? Do you want to go by yourself, or do you want me to kill you... This sentence echoed long, two roads lay before me: one is a dead end, and the other is life is worse than death. I clearly wanted to cry, but I raised my lips, and finally smiled again: "I...I...I'm going..." The beam of white light on my waist immediately retracted, and my whole body relaxed, and I regained my freedom. Zhuang Wei looked at me and said, "Okay, let's go now." I bit my lip, and slowly bent down to pick up the sackcloth that fell on the ground earlier. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I felt Zhuang Wei's expression change, and at that moment, a gust of wind blew, Familiar scents on the wind— Li Xi! I hurriedly turned my head, but saw the blood-red flames rushing towards Zhuang Wei like a giant dragon all over the sky, and in the flames, flying and shining was Li Xi, whose hair was as white as snow! Isn't he gone?Why are you back again? He actually attacked Zhuang Wei again?I quickly shouted: "Don't—" But it was too late. Zhuang Wei raised his hand, and the fly whisk hit Li Xi's body with a slap, and the flames that had been rushing towards him suddenly swirled back towards Li Xi.Then those white hairs caught fire immediately, Li Xi neighed in the fire, and the neighing sound was like a sword, like a knife, like any sharp thing, passing through my body, splitting me into pieces. My body, I consciously threw myself at him again, and— Use your own body to absorb those flames. "Don't!" Li Xi slammed into a human form, hugged me, and shouted with an eager expression I had never seen before, "What are you doing? You, you, you...why are you saving me again?" My soul was slowly burnt into ashes by those flames, flying around little by little, and my consciousness became more and more lax, but I still tried to open my eyes wide, looked at him, and smiled miserably: "I don't know啊……为什么每一次，我都要出来救你呢？明明……明明当年害死我的就是……就是……” 我说不下去。 然而，离曦定定地望着我，说出了答案：“是我娘。当年吃了你的那只狐妖，是我娘。” 我凝望着他，然后眨一眨眼，内心深处有什么东西化开了，身体开始变得很轻。 他抱住我，死命地抱住，哭了出来：“对不起，虞姬，对不起！我替我娘跟你说对不起，你不要消失，不要消失，我以后都听你的话，永远伺候你，让你高兴，让你笑，让你过得比任何人都要好……” “傻瓜……”真是个傻孩子啊，“你娘，是因为要生你，所以不得不吃人，而我，只是很不幸地撞上了而已……” 一双手突然从身后伸过来，紧紧扣住我的肩膀，同时响起的，是庄唯无比震惊的声音：“阿虞！是你？？！！” 我转过头，入目处，是在记忆里铭刻了多少年的面容啊？ 庄唯……庄唯…… 其实我看着你，不止十年啊…… “阿虞……”梦魇化成了现实，那个在梦境里始终看不清楚的影子终于现出了他的原型，组合成眼前这个人，是他，却又不像他了。 彼时红烛高烧，盖头轻轻掀起，他穿着吉服红衣，对我凝眸而笑：“娘子，有礼了。” 彼时铜镜清晰，他俯身向我，手持眉笔道：“阿虞，你真美。” 彼时泛舟湖上，水中倒影卿卿，他搂住我腰，感慨道：“愿此生永与阿虞相伴，双双白头。” 彼时彼时，那么多个彼时……彼时的他，是贵胄少年，不顾家人反对，娶了家贫的织娘，与我私奔，不离不弃。 然后直到那一天——我见他衣服破了，上山采麻，结果被因缺乏营养而迟迟难产不下的母狐吞噬。待得他找到我时，只剩一件没有补好的血衣。 他抱着那件血衣上了婆罗山；而我跟着那件血衣滞留人间，不得脱离。 这……就是我们所有故事的由来。 瞧，世事多么讽刺—— 庄唯，我的夫君，是为了给我报仇，才加入道教变成了一名道长。 而我，他的妻子，却恰恰变成了鬼魂，要被他驱离。 吞噬我的母狐在诞下幼狐后死去，那只幼狐，却要来找我，偿还母亲造就的罪孽…… 这一环一环，如何扣就？又怎么解开？ 一如此刻，烧毁了我的魂魄的，是离曦的狐火，还是庄唯的反击？ 我笑，摸上离曦的脸道：“不哭，乖。其实……我从来没有真正的讨厌过你。” 我怎么会讨厌他？他是以我的生命为代价而延续下去的生命啊。我的血肉，融入母狐体内，酿就了一个它。它的体内，有一部分我的存在，我怎么可能讨厌自己？所以，当他遇到危险时，我唯一能做的，就是不顾一切地去救他。 离曦的眼泪却流得更凶。 我再望向庄唯，手才抬起，就被他紧紧抓住：“阿虞！阿虞！阿虞……我这就救你！我用我所有的法力救你！你坚持一下，一下就好……” 我再笑，用最后的力气将那件袍子递到他面前：“夫君，给你的。” 庄唯颤抖地接过袍子。而袍子离我手的那一瞬，火焰烧到了我的脸，我的脸就碎裂成了水珠，颗颗飞散。 原来，我之所以不能投胎转世的原因，不是因为我没有补完那件衣服，而是我没有把那件衣服最终交给他的缘故啊…… “阿虞！阿虞……” “虞姬！虞姬……” 那是我所听见的最后的话。 庄唯，世人皆知，通天神技，奇人也。其本帝都侍郎之子，因慕织娘小虞，离家私奔。后虞娘为妖狐所噬，为报妻仇，遂剃度入道。辛子年四月初二，悄然仙逝。 越日，山下沈家村有张、王两氏，比邻而居，同时诞一子一女，子取名守，女取名留。Childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart. “喂！你为什么要抢我的蝴蝶？那只蝴蝶是我抓住的！快还给我，快还给我！”女童伸长了手臂拼命去抢，奈何男童比她高了一个头有余，无论她怎么跳都够不着。 男童哈哈大笑：“就不给就不给，你能拿我怎么着？” 女童跺脚骂道：“你欺负我，我去告诉张婶！”转身刚要跑，不期然地撞到一个人。 那是个宛如冰雪铸就般的白衣少年，看似冷漠，但望着她时，眼中就溢满了温柔：“你喜欢蝴蝶？” “嗯。那只蝴蝶，明明是我先抓住的啊……”女童好生委屈。 少年伸出一根手指，男童手里的蝴蝶突然就离了手，飞过去停在他的指间。 男童女童全都瞪大了眼睛。 少年将蝴蝶递给女童：“给你。” 女童又惊又喜，雀跃道：“啊！谢谢！” 男童不满，叫道：“喂，你是谁？为什么要帮她？” “我是谁？”少年眸光流转，有着世间最美的一双眼睛，然后握住女童的手，直起身来，“我是她的守护者。” “哈？”男童傻眼。 女童抬头道：“大哥哥，什么是守护者？” “守护者就是……会一直陪着你，保护你，帮你实现任何愿望，让你永远开开心心的意思。” “哇，那不是和菩萨一样厉害？” “是啊。你愿意吗？” “当然愿意啦！我正想找个帮手，帮我好好教训那个臭小守呢！” 男童瞪眼：“什么？我是臭小守，你还是丑小留呢！” 女童立刻转向少年求助：“大哥哥……” 少年手指一指，男童的帽子就被风吹走了，吓得他连忙跑过去追：“啊，帽子帽子！等等，等一等，那可是娘刚织好的帽子啊……等一等……” 女童“扑哧”一声笑出来。 少年温柔地望着她：“开心吗？” “嗯！”停一停，补充，“大哥哥，你真好。” 少年静静地望着她，最后一笑。 虞姬，你的前世充满不幸。但是，我保证，你的这一世，会过得比世间任何一个女子都要开心得意。 你终会幸福。 与庄唯一起幸福。 “虞姬，对不起！我替我娘跟你说对不起，你不要消失，不要消失，我以后都听你的话，永远伺候你，让你高兴，让你笑，让你过得比任何人都要好……” 阳光照在少年身上，地面上拖出长长的影子，有尾巴轻轻地摇。 那是，最终所谓的幸福。
