ephemera

The year of heaven is 380 years, winter.

The day Xiyan approached me, I was discussing with Huaji how to make a comeback.More than six hundred years have passed since the "Battle of Heaven's Punishment", and I have long been forgotten by everyone.

Such an outcome had been expected long ago, so it did not feel bleak.

It's just that Xi Yan came too suddenly, I thought it was an assassin sent by the heavens to kill me, but seeing his young appearance, dressed in white, dripping with blood, almost dying, I relaxed my vigilance in a moment.

Where I live, the residents inside call it "Guixi", and the residents outside call it "Sky Mark".Guixi is the space-time rift between heaven and earth. If it is kept closed, it will naturally live in peace with the Three Realms, but Guixi has long been out of the control of the builder, so it will open the door to the Three Realms from time to time.

The so-called "my house door is always open" is not a good thing here, because the residents living in Guixi are some undead. Once the door is opened, they can't bear loneliness and will go to other places to cause trouble, although they can only be in the outside world. Live for three days, but it is enough to cause disaster and become a catastrophe.

And I am undoubtedly the first disaster star.

So even if Xiyan came to kill me, I have no reason to doubt it.

But Xiyan was not. At that time, his white hair was shoulder-length, his eyes were full of hostility, his lips were pursed stubbornly, his right hand was covering the wound on his chest fiercely, to prevent the blood from gushing out, and he limped towards us. It looks very pitiful.

I have no mercy, and the loneliness tortured for nearly a thousand years makes me afraid of feeling the eternal separation caused by the bondage of a whim.

Just when I was about to drive him out, Xiyan said, "Your Excellency is the leader of the 'Battle of Heaven's Punishment' 600 years ago, right?"

It's nice to be remembered, so I stopped and said, "What? You'll recognize me when I'm like this? How do you say that, 'I'll recognize you even if you're turned into ashes'," It seems that people in the noble heaven really hate me."

Whenever I think back on this scene later, I guess Xiyan must be wondering why I am such a chatterbox.

After all, as a villain, it is easy to die from talking too much.

Xi Yan shook his head and said, "My teacher is the master of Shifang Palace and the palace master of Langhuanfu Palace..."

I saw that he was bleeding profusely, and my eyes were hurting so red. I really wanted Huaji to stop the bleeding, so I interrupted him roughly, "Princess? Is your teacher a little girl?"

Xiyan had a look of panic at first, but when I messed it up like this, the etiquette and rules entrusted to him by Tianting suddenly became useless, what he wanted to say was blocked in his throat, and he fell silent.

Huaji sighed, tapped my skull lightly, and said, "Take some face."

By the way, I only had a skeleton at that time. During the long 600 years, I lived in nightmares. I couldn’t tell whether I was dead or alive. woke me up.Huaji told me that the rest of the people died from the scourge of the gods.

Huaji is gentle and gentle, belonging to the school of elegant gentlemen, but when he said this, I could hear the faint sound of injustice in his tone.

Logically, he should hate me.

I am different from other residents of Guixi, and I will not die so easily. This is all thanks to the builders of Guixi.The life and death times of other residents are different. The reason is that they are all undead who are missed by the living. It is because of these thoughts that they can regain their consciousness and have a body.But the living have a future for the living, and for the sake of unnecessary suffering, those who will never come back have to be forgotten, and the forgotten will disappear immediately.

In Guixi, some people live long and have four or five years; some people live short and die with the wind in three days.

Hua Jilai to return interest, not to find me, but to find someone else.

The skull made a hollow sound, and I said boldly, "Skeletons are known to have no faces."

According to Xi Yan, he was originally a disciple of General Jin Ge, the owner of the Ten Directions Hall. General Jin Ge was extremely brave and suppressed many rebellions for the Heavenly Court. The two often fought against General Jin Ge, making the heavens restless, and the Emperor of Heaven was so stupid that he even sealed the innocent, kind, brave and unparalleled General Jin Ge in Langhuanfu Palace. A lot of effort was wasted, and just as he was undoing the last layer of enchantment, the Valkyrie brought people to declare war and beat Xiyan half to death.

Xi Yan may have suffered a lot, seeing his face always covered with resentment, he said: "Guan Miao and Valkyrie want to kill me, so I have no choice but to hide here."

I asked him coldly, "How do you know about return?"

Xiyan said: "There are a lot of ancient scrolls in Langhuanfu Palace, I saw them on the ancient scrolls."

The avenue does not exist, and the return will only appear.

I don't want to keep him. There will be many things in the future. He is like the little tail of the guys in Tianting.

So I said: "There are too many poor people in the world, and you are the only one missing."

Xiyan's face didn't change after hearing this, and he stood up and walked towards the unclosed return door. I think the heavens must be very chaotic, otherwise why no one came to spy on this door.

After taking three steps, Xiyan fell heavily to the ground.Guixi is a big desert, except for the almost miraculous sea of ​​abundance in the east, no grass grows anywhere, Xiyan is dressed in white with some blood red, which looks particularly dazzling and fragile in this wasteland.

I didn't say anything, walked over to hold him in my arms, and drew some spiritual power out to heal the deep wound on his chest.Heaven is so ruthless, such a young man wants to be killed, no wonder all the immortals have no successors.

As soon as the satire was over, Huaji came to mock me. He likes blue, his body is always spotless, and his hair is also meticulous, which is really admirable. He said: "You don't want to keep him, not because he will harm you, but because he will hurt you. I'm worried that you won't be able to protect him."

I sneered, the last thing I could see was that he was clearly a grieving ghost, but he had the heart of a bodhisattva.

He also said to himself, "The great war 600 years ago hurt your body and your heart."

I was afraid that he would pity me, so I said, "Don't say that, I have nothing to lose, and you..."

Huaji looked over abruptly, and I caught a glimpse of the fierceness in his eyes.

I didn't say much, but my fingers touched Xiyan's spine.I froze for a moment and looked at Huaji.

He asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

I took out my hand, the bone was covered with blood, and I said, "His fairy bone is broken."

Huaji was also very shocked, because this not only meant that Xiyan would suffer great pain, but also indicated that he would lose his status as a fairy official and fall down to earth. As for what kind of species he will become, it is not clear.

Hua Ji thought about it: "When he just came in, I still felt a bit of evil spirit."

I "frowned" and said, "Then he is a monster who swallowed a fairy? Or a fairy who has not taken off his demon body?"

Huaji shook his head and said, "I'll ask him when he wakes up. You can't trust him anyway."

On the surface, I pretended not to care, but in fact I was a little happy in my heart, it was the feeling of sympathy when a freak meets a freak.

I'm not a human... No, this sounds a bit like scolding myself, I mean I'm neither a human, nor a demon, nor a devil, nor a ghost, nor a god, I can only be classified as a monster Tired.

Fortunately, I know how to repair the fairy bones, as long as Xiyan does not reject my spiritual power.I stretched out my two fingers and hooked a wisp of spiritual power out, using this as an introduction to pull out part of the fairy spirit in Xiyan's body, and the two strands of spiritual power converged into one.

It's done, I didn't expect that he didn't reject my spiritual power.

Immortals are all arrogant beings with their own unique spirits. Without their permission, it would be difficult for other powers to flow into their spirits, except for those fallen immortals who take pleasure in absorbing other people's spiritual power.

I slowly guided this spiritual power to cover his spine, and then slowly returned the broken fairy bones according to the detection of spiritual power. With the sound of clicking, Xiyan frowned in his deep sleep, but No snort.

It was only then that I discovered that there was a very faint cinnabar mole between his eyebrows. If I hadn’t looked at it deliberately, it would have been hard to find. His pale skin and white hair made the cinnabar mole even more charming. I stretched out my hand and touched it. Mole, I didn't expect to be blocked back by the evil spirit gushing out from the center of my eyebrows as soon as I touched it.

Banned.

Not only the prohibition, but also the evil spirit made Xiyan feel like a mystery.

I gently hugged him in my arms, his whole body was so hard that he was choking, so I said, "Huaji, come and hug him."

Huaji flicked his sleeves, looked at the blood on Xiyan's body, and walked away.

Well, I forgot he was a clean freak.

Xiyan had a lot of nightmares, and sometimes he murmured softly, and I leaned over to listen unkindly, except for "Teacher", it was "En Gong", and I began to imagine that he and General Jin Ge might have some deep relationship. fetters.

Xiyan was in a coma for a long time, so I stared at him vigorously, and asked in a puzzled way: "What are you looking at, the young boy will have to be peeled off by you."

I said bluntly: "He looks so good-looking, he is worthy of being a fairy."

Huaji said, "Which immortal is not good-looking?"

I thought about it seriously and said, "Fengdu Hades is not very good-looking."

Hua Ji rarely smiled contemptuously and said, "He is not a god."

When Xiyan woke up, I almost fell asleep leaning against a tree stump. His arm moved first, and then I noticed that he seemed to be startled, and then he fell out of my arms lightly. , cast a shadow.

I thought to myself that I could finally have a good night's sleep, and in a daze, I felt that Xiyan seemed to be looking closely at me.

What's so cool about skeletons?

When I woke up, I saw Huaji writing something in a bound book.Huaji always has such a good self-cultivation, no matter where he is, he can be at ease.Xiyan stood far away, looking at me.

I waved at him, gesturing for him to come over, but Xiyan shook his head violently.

I turned my head and asked Hua Ji, "Did you threaten him?"

Huaji's face twitched, and he said, "He seems to be very afraid of me."

I had no choice but to get up and ask Xiyan. When I got closer, Xiyan's hostile face seemed to relax a bit. I stretched out my hand, but he didn't dare to pull it for a long time.

I smiled and said, "Shy?"

Xiyan shook his head and held it up.Xiao Xianguan's hands are very cold, and my finger bones are also very cold.

Xiyan walked beside me and said with some embarrassment, "Thank you."

I replied: "You're welcome, put it in the account, and I will return this favor in the future."

"……it is good."

"Why, whoring for nothing? Impossible." I said.

"..."

Seeing that he stopped talking, I asked, "Why are you afraid of Huaji?"

He started to argue. I glanced at him and said, "If you lie, I'll throw you out. Do you think Guan Miao and Valkyrie will beat you up again?"

He was startled, and immediately called out: "I've been to Baigui Beach before, and I was frightened."

It suddenly dawned on me that the Hundred Ghosts Beach is quite scary. Although it is called "Hundred Ghosts", there are at least a thousand ghosts there. They were tortured by various criminal methods in a mountain depression in Fengdu. On the top you can avoid being bitten by the ghosts below.Oh, where did I put that boulder.

I comforted him and said, "Hua Ji has a good temper and a good heart. After getting along for a long time, he will naturally not be afraid. This is just the beginning."

Xiyan nodded and said, "It's good that Huaji doesn't mind."

After a while, Xiyan asked hesitantly, "Where are we going?"

I smiled at him and said, "The place where I was born, the sea of ​​abundance."

Xi Yan's eyes lit up and said, "I know, there is a huge red dragon in the sea."

"That's right, I was riding on him and flying in the air when I was a child. He doesn't know where he has gone all these years."

Seemingly hearing the loneliness in my tone, Xiyan said: "Maybe he went outside to play through the sky mark. It is recorded in the ancient scroll that the dragon loves freedom very much. When he has had enough fun, he will come back."

I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, when he comes back, I'll burn dragon tendons to replenish your body."

Xi Yan's face changed, and he said in embarrassment: "...No need."

I smiled and said, "I'm lying to you, why are you so serious at such a young age."

Xiyan didn't say anything, but his face became better.

When we got to the beach, Xiyan couldn’t help but open his mouth wide. It was an endless ocean, with green, blue, and gold gradually changing on the surface of the sea, and where we were standing was a golden sandy beach. If there was the sun, it would shine everywhere. , the sea breeze is blowing, making people suspect that this place can only be a dream.

Xiyan said, "It's so beautiful."

I nodded and said, "Let's come again in the evening. Today is the fifteenth day of the eighth month in Guixi. It's the night of reunion. The moonlight is like water, and everything is shining."

Xiyan was suddenly moved, and I asked, "What's the matter? Do you think my words are particularly elegant?"

He shook his head ignorantly and said, "It's very quiet here."

I didn't understand it for a while, so I said casually: "It's quite quiet, not even a bird."

Xi Yan seemed to remember something and said, "Outside, I have never felt so peaceful."

Only then did I realize it, and I wondered if I was out of my mind, and then I thought about it again, I am indeed out of my mind now.

Xiyan should be recalling the unpleasant memories in Heaven.

I patted him on the shoulder and said wryly, "Come on, take off your clothes."

Xi Yan seemed to have been burned, lost his posture, hugged himself, and said with red ears, "Why..."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Xiao Xianguan, take a bath and change clothes, what are you doing in this suit?"

Xiyan calmed down, not daring to take it off.

I had no choice but to say: "All right, all right, I don't want to look at you, I'll go further away, that's fine."

I stood far away on the beach and watched Xiyan walk into the sea. Sometimes when the tide came, he would stagger like he was not used to it. At this time, I felt that I was old, but I actually thought this young man was a little cute.

From my position, it's not very clear, but I can also see some scars on Xiyan's back and some new injuries. I am a little angry, thinking that no matter how messed up Tianting is, it has nothing to do with this junior.

"You seem to be very kind to him." Hua Ji's voice suddenly remembered.

I was taken aback and said, "Brother Huaji, next time you come out, can you stop being silent like a ghost?"

He turned his head and looked at me: I am a ghost.

I nodded and thought what he said made sense. I said, "My name is 'Huairou'. Doesn't the Shifang Palace raise a group of Shifang birds? With these little birds, we can intercept a lot of information."

Huaji didn't speak, looked at Xiyan who was washing his clothes again after washing his upper body, and said, "He has suffered a lot of injuries."

"Who says it's not? When we get to the Heavenly Court, we must give those people a good meal."

That night the three of us lay on the beach and watched the moon.

No one spoke, the wind was blowing from an unknown place, the sound of the tide kept coming, and the scars were all blocked from returning home at this moment. Many years later, I still can't help but miss this Yeyue.
