I heard it's not good to be a magic stick

The flames of war raged far ahead, billowing smoke rushed into the thick air, and an explosion shattered the sky. The entire city was in ruins, and among the broken walls and ruins, there were black plastic bags and shattered glass slag everywhere.

Zhang Linle covered his ears and looked around in disbelief. The steel bars of the barren building had fallen to one side, like an abandoned steel factory, and the whole city was lifeless.

This is where?Where am I?

He wants to know the answer, he wants to run forward, but his feet are weak, the ground is like soft cotton, every step is empty.Even though the distance is one street away, he seems to never reach his destination.

But Zhang Linle was not reconciled and refused to admit defeat. He ran crazily, and the wind was blowing under his feet. He ran faster and faster, and he was about to fly. He quickened his pace, and his feet finally left the ground.

Just when he was excited, he found that he couldn't fly high, and soon fell back to the ground.But he wasn't tired, and he wasn't in pain.

Zhang Linle suddenly realized that he might be dreaming, and pinched his arm suddenly. He felt it, but it didn't hurt. So is this a dream?

"what are you doing here?"

Looking back following the voice, Zhang Linle saw that familiar face.

In just a few weeks, Zhang Linle felt a feeling he hadn't seen for a long time. He rushed over without hesitation and bumped into this person.

Chai Ziyang pushed him away with his hands: "Slow down, brat."

"You, I...Are you okay?" Zhang Linle hesitated for a long time, he wanted to ask too many questions, he wanted to ask if this was a dream, he wanted to ask where it was, he wanted to ask why you suddenly Appeared, but in the end, he still wanted to care about the well-being of this person the most.

Chai Ziyang nodded lightly, then walked forward quickly.

He left again?This thought passed away in a flash, Zhang Linle ran quickly, circled in front of Chai Ziyang, and stopped him with his arms outstretched.

"where are you going?"

"Didn't you see it?" Chai Ziyang pointed forward, "The flames of war have spread."

Zhang Linle was at a loss: "What is the flames of war?" It's a time of peace and prosperity, how did it have anything to do with war?

"In the darkest place, all the light you see is not light, but flames of war." Chai Ziyang said, "I say that, do you understand?"

Zhang Linle shook his head, staring at the stern man in front of him, thinking, is he crazy?

"I need to go for a while."

Although Zhang Linle didn't understand what Chai Ziyang was talking about, and where he meant, but since it was the place Chai Ziyang was going to, it must be related to Xuanjiu, so he immediately replied, "I'm with you."

"No."

Zhang Linle became anxious: "Why not?"

"Do you know where I am now?"

"you are......"

Chai Ziyang was in the Sirius Society and was controlled by the Sirius Society.However, since this person is under control, how could Zhang Linle see him?Could it be that this is really a dream.

Chai Ziyang suddenly reached out, pressed Zhang Linle's shoulder, and scraped the side of his neck with his thumb.

Zhang Linle was so stimulated by the sudden ambiguity that his hairs stood on end, his body felt numb, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Protect it well..." Chai Ziyang gently touched the necklace on his neck with his thumb subconsciously, and said in a deep voice, "Myself."

Zhang Linle took a step back, what did Chai Ziyang mean?

"Is this a dream?" Zhang Linle asked.

Chai Ziyang was noncommittal, and answered irrelevantly: "I'm leaving."

Zhang Lin was happy to see Chai Ziyang turn around, and immediately stretched out his hand to grab the other's forearm: "Hey, what happened..."

Before he finished speaking, he started to shake, the ground suddenly shook, and a crack opened between Chai Ziyang and him.

Like a black river, it divides the surface of the earth into two.

In Zhang Linle's panic, he wanted to stabilize the other party, but Chai Ziyang turned around, and with a quick twist of his arm, he broke away from his palm.And the ground fissure in the middle intensified and widened, like two moving stones breaking apart, rising and tilting towards opposite directions.

"Do not......"

Zhang Linle sat up suddenly, his vest and forehead were covered with sweat, the room was pitch black, and he was in a trance for a moment.

"Crack!" The gentle yellow light came on, Assi pressed one hand on the light switch by the door, and pushed the doorknob with the other. He stood at the door of the bedroom and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Linle realized that he was having a nightmare, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to disturb you."

"It's okay, it's almost dawn, and I'm ready to go for a run."

Zhang Linle couldn't fall asleep either, so he stood up and changed his clothes: "Let's go together, I can't fall asleep anyway."

"Okay." Asi turned to the living room and poured a glass of warm water for Zhang Linle, and then went to the kitchen to boil two eggs.

Running on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach, so the two simply ate something before changing their shoes and going out.

The runway at five o'clock in the morning revealed the unique coldness of late autumn, and it was also refreshing. Asi led him to run around the Binjiang Road, and the morning breeze was blowing on their faces. People are exercising.

The sky is still dark, and the whole city is still sleeping, only the river is active, flowing gently and cheerfully, passing both the bustling left bank and the heavy right bank.The two enjoyed this rare peace and elegance.

The two ran silently for half an hour, and Asi pointed to the stone bench in front of him: "Linle, let's go over there and have a rest."

"it is good."

The two slowed down and walked towards the chair. Asi wanted to just sit on the chair, but was stopped by Zhang Linle.

"Kansa?"

"Dirty, wipe it off." Zhang Linle took out a pack of tissues from his trouser pocket, took out one and handed it to the other party.

"Hehe, you're really particular." Asi patted the stool with his big hands hastily a few times, and sat down, "Is this still dirty? When I went to the ghost village with Master and the others, I slept on a tree, and I stayed in a cave full of bugs, and even spent the night in a ancestral hall full of coffins, and encountered some incredible things at night, such as blood gu butterflies, hanged ghosts, and old ghosts. Think about it, now guarding the company of my teacher, It is easy to make money, and life is much more comfortable, but I am happy."

Zhang Linle felt that Asi's brain had diverged too far, and he was clearly talking about whether the stool was dirty, so how did it get involved in the matter of "recalling the past"?It sounds interesting though.

He teased, "Is this company owned by Boss Xu?"

Asi nodded: "Yes, my wife used to run a Fengshui studio and was an Internet celebrity. She is handsome, rich and capable. I heard she is very popular."

"Who said that?"

"Teacher."

"Oh." Zhang Linle smiled sullenly. Only Xu Xu could say such a shameless boast.

"What's wrong?" Ash asked.

Zhang Linle waved his hand: "It's okay, continue, after the two get together, the company will merge?"

"No, the master took the initiative to send the company to the master." Asi said honestly.

Zhang Lin laughed happily. If Xu Xu was present, he would definitely slap Asi.Sure enough, the children in the mountains have no plans and dare to say anything. If outsiders know that Xu Xu gave away the company and the house in order to chase Li Jingxing, it would be a drop in price.

Thanks to Xu Xu for being such a proud person.

"Master also bought shares later, and the studio became a company." Asi didn't know what Zhang Linle was thinking. Since he was a friend that Master and Mistress could bring home, he must be trustworthy. He continued to talk endlessly: "Master and Mistress Taught me basic forecasting and Taoism. It is enough to help people drive away evil spirits and look at Feng Shui. It may be that there are too many poor people who come to me to see things. The monthly account book is indeed not very good-looking, hey, it is far worse than when the teacher was there."

Hearing Mrs. Asi's mother's call, Zhang Linle always felt it was weird, and Xu Xu's image seemed a lot more sissy in Asi's words.

"Brother Xu allows you to call him that?"

"Not very happy, often scolding me, but the strange thing is that every time I yell like that, he will be gentler to me after a while, I think he should be happy."

Xu Xu is not a honest person, he is shrewd, with his own calculations, a little bit of conspiracy theory and defensiveness, not just a random person can walk into his heart.

Asi is sincere, has no mind, and has simple feelings.Just like an honest child, when he finds that every time he does this, he can please his elders, and his attitude towards him will become better, he will subconsciously do this deliberately and repeatedly, hoping to Gain more favor from elders.

"Brother Xu is a bit picky." Zhang Linle comforted him.

"Master is very nice." Asi turned his head and looked at Zhang Linle cautiously, "When we were in the ghost village before, we were attacked by Jiuying, and Master asked Master to take us first. Do your best to keep us safe."

Zhang Linle smiled, brother Xu is indeed a good man.It's not what ordinary people define as good. What is considered good by ordinary people is a person like Li Jingxing, who is bright and bright, has a clear blood and a loyal heart, and his righteousness is as thin as the sky.Has extremely positive values, a sense of responsibility, and a strong sense of mission.

And Xu Xu is smart and smooth, even a little cunning, this kind of person is usually not respected and liked by others, and is easily criticized by others.Xu Xu belongs to this kind of person. He has always packaged himself with a sophisticated personality and a proud appearance, so that others dare not trouble him or provoke him.But after really contacting for a period of time, after the cocoon is stripped, people can see the core of Xu Xu's warmth and righteousness.

People in this world like to judge people subjectively based on their initial feelings, and also like to judge others by themselves, but people are complex and comprehensive individuals.

Xu Xu's goodness is not what the public thinks is good, but in Zhang Linle's view, it is another kind of goodness.

Kindness is innate, but kindness is a choice.Xu Xu just doesn't show kindness to everyone. This is his choice and his freedom.

In Zhang Linle's eyes, this kind of selective kindness is another kind of nobility.

In this world, no one can act as God, stamp another person, and judge his likes and dislikes.

Asi felt that he had dragged the topic far, scratched the back of his head and smiled: "Did you carry out a lot of difficult tasks during this period?"

Zhang Linle nodded, thinking of Yan Xi's instructions, he said vaguely: "Different from your previous experience, folk exorcising evil spirits should be down-to-earth, and it should be more realistic, but the official task is confusing, and many things cannot be controlled by yourself, and you can't think clearly."

"Oh." Asi was confused and wanted to continue asking, but Zhang Linle asked, "What about you? Have you encountered anything interesting during this time? Let's hear it."

Asi couldn't tell that Zhang Linle was deliberately changing the topic, so he thought for a while before speaking.

"It's not interesting, but," Assi recalled, "it seems to be a bit uneasy recently. I have received several commissions, all of which are related to the crematorium."
