ephemera

Although Xi Yan doesn't seem to have a good temper, he is actually very docile and obedient.

He is indeed very afraid of Huaji, as long as Huaji is less than three feet away from him, his whole body will be stiff and his eyes will be dull. At first I almost mistakenly thought that Huaji hooked his soul.But most of the time Huaji would stay with me to discuss the plan after returning home, so I always saw Xiyan standing far away watching us, motionless and behaved, I was so tired for him.Occasionally, newly formed undead appeared beside him, but he ignored them, and those undead hid behind him and whispered.

So I tried to spare time to chat with Xiyan alone, Huaji was a little dissatisfied, and I said to him: "People are so sophisticated, why don't you, an old ghost, understand? Now that you have a good relationship with the children, it will be much more convenient to go out and do errands." .” Huaji knew that he was “in the wrong”, so he didn’t follow.

Seeing me coming to look for him, Xiyan's expression didn't change a bit, he just bowed politely to me and called out, "My lord."

It’s been a long time since someone called me that, so I didn’t feel used to it, so I said, “Don’t, don’t, change the name, I get goose bumps when you call me that.”

Xiyan asked foolishly, "Then what's a good name?"

I pretended to hold my chin and thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you call me teacher? Anyway, your General Jin Ge is also locked up."

As soon as I finished speaking, Xiyan's eyes were covered with mist, gloomy. I laughed "haha" in embarrassment and said, "I'm just kidding."

Xiyan wiped his eyes and said: "No, after I rescue the teacher, I will resign and come to your lord, and I will formally worship under your lord's door. For your life-saving grace, Xiyan can repay it with my life."

I thought to myself, do I just like poaching corners so much?Am I that fond of taking other people's lives?You underestimated me too much, so I changed the subject and said: "How did you save General Jin Ge, you are not even a fairy now, wouldn't you throw yourself into a trap when you return to Heaven?"

Xiyan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Won't your lord accompany me?"

I spread my hands and said, "What name should I go with? I'm not a teacher and student, and I'm not a close friend. Is it possible that we meet brotherhood by chance?"

Xi Yan was speechless by what I said, and I realized that I am more and more capable of burying people now. Alas, when people are old, they just need to talk more, otherwise it will be very lonely.

I don't speak, and Xiyan will never speak.I was so bored, so I had nothing to say and asked, "What is the restriction on that red mole on your forehead?"

Xiyan touched his forehead and asked, "What restriction?"

I didn't believe it. I got closer, stretched out my index finger and poked at his forehead. I thought it would be bounced back, but I didn't expect to poke it on his cinnabar mole. The warmth between his brows immediately spread to my cold bones. .Xi Yan froze for a moment, and immediately looked elsewhere.

I continued to smile awkwardly: "Haha."

What's the point?I carefully recalled the scene that day. I hope that the fairy spirits scattered in all directions, and a few wisps of monster energy floated out. But now, because the fairy bones have just been connected, the fairy spirits are almost condensed on the spine and have not circulated in his body. At this time, it seems... the demon is soaring.

I asked another way: "Why is there a demon in your body?"

Xiyan was a little nervous and a little embarrassed.I understand, I understand, those who are gods, what is their favorite orthodox background, as long as they have something to do with other races, they will be looked down upon and spit on.

Xi Yan stammered, "That... when I became a fairy... it was too early, and the demon body didn't have time... to fade away."

Oh, the grade-skipping top student.

I waved my hand, motioning him to stop talking, and said: "Then you came down to find a way to save General Jin Ge?"

I saw through Xiyan's mind, and he was about to kneel down and admit his mistake. I supported him, but Xiyan didn't expect that, he wanted to take back the hand that I caught, and suddenly pushed back hard, but he didn't think he could use all his strength There was a "click" in my palm, and my hand fell off. Xi Yan looked at the hand with only bones left in embarrassment, picked it up and handed it to me, and said in a low voice, "Sorry."

I'm too picky.

Thinking of this, I took my hand over and connected it calmly.

Xi Yan took the opportunity to explain: "I didn't intend to hide it from my lord, I was just afraid that my lord would think that I was whimsical and idiotic, and I couldn't save General Jin Ge with my ability."

I smiled and asked: "Then do you think it's not a dream if I go to Tianting with my current appearance?"

Xiyan answered immediately, "No."

No, that, how can I answer this.

I clicked my tongue, there was nothing I could do with him, I wanted to go alone and calm down, Xiyan came to pull me in a hurry, I said: "Ancestor, please do me a favor, don't pull my hand away again."

He seemed to be amused by me, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and then restrained himself and said, "My lord, don't leave, then... until we return to the heaven, we will be masters and apprentices."

He paused for a moment, then called out in a low voice, "Teacher."

I was a little shy, because I didn't expect him to say that, and I really poached General Jin Ge's corner without paying attention.

"Hey, good apprentice, get ready, we're going out."

As soon as I finished speaking, undead surrounded me. I thought Xiyan was not afraid of these undead, so I asked, "It's also a ghost, why are you so afraid of Huaji?"

Xi Yan said: "When I first came in, the teacher said that these are undead formed by longing. I don't think they are ghosts."

"What is that?"

"Weird." Xi Yan murmured.

The undead around me poked their heads out to look at Xi Yan from behind me. I was a little moved inexplicably, and unconsciously stretched out my hand to pat his head and said, "Let's go."

There is one more thing I need to do before I leave, which is to make a decent disguise for me, otherwise I will scare the dead if I go out like this.Huaji found a lot of cloth strips and threw them beside me, then handed me some clean clothes, a hood, and a mask, and then left, not wanting to help me at all.

Cleanliness is really annoying.

I rummaged through the pile of things, and found that Huaji had put a brand new cigarette rod inside, made of pineapple wood, and the cigarette holder was still a beautiful jade.That was a habit I developed 600 years ago. After every battle with Tianting, I would pull some shredded tobacco called "Taoyuan Township" and stuff it into the tobacco rod to smoke.

Taoyuan Township, named Taoyuan, forgets worries and relieves worries.

But at this moment, I have no mouth, and there is no Taoyuan around me.

So I had no choice but to wrap the cloth strips around my body one by one by myself, as thick as possible, and after putting on the clothes and hood, I barely looked human.It took a lot of effort to wrap it alone, and I finally became paralyzed from exhaustion before I finished wrapping one arm.

Xiyan slipped to my side at some point, and I raised my other arm to him as a matter of course. Xiyan was very clever, and started by picking up the cloth strips from the ground. He did things very neatly, and the distance between the cloth strips he wrapped was almost It's exactly the same, as if I'm finishing some kind of work. Compared with my loosely bound hand, I don't know how much better it looks.

I lifted my legs up by the way, Xiyan froze for a moment, and started wrapping cloth strips while holding my ankle.

I didn't feel any embarrassment at all, but Xiyan seemed afraid to look at me.

Alas, it is nonsense to blush at the sight of a skeleton.

Xi Yan is still too young.

His strength was just right, and I lay there almost falling asleep.

Xiyan managed to wrap me up completely. I had rested enough and just wanted to sit up. He pushed me down and said, "I'll help the teacher wrap this side up again."

I know, Huaji is a clean freak, and Xiyan is an obsessive-compulsive disorder. As for me, I am a waste.

I stood up and put on my clothes again, put on the hood, and asked Xiyan, "How is it? You can't tell it's a skeleton?"

Xiyan didn't know why her eyes were red, and she pursed her lips tightly and replied simply: "Yes."

"What are you doing? Are you crying because you think I'm too handsome?"

Xiyan said: "I heard that the teacher... rode a dragon chariot, raised a flag, and the three worlds were shocked by the response to every call."

It is quite sad that things are right and people are wrong.

I never like to be sad, and said: "Don't read too many ancient scrolls, they are all fake. I rode a horse at that time, and I stole it."

"..."

I am really a talent for burning zithers and cooking cranes.

Packed up and left.

On the day we left, Guixi sensed my thoughts and opened a small door. Undead called "weird" stood in the wilderness and watched us leave. I turned around and waved to them, thinking that This time will probably never come back.The newborn undead were all smiling, as if they were still immersed in the joy of life, thinking that they had other people's concerns. As for the undead who were about to be forgotten, they were still slowly disappearing, and all of them turned black. Dust was in the air, and we couldn't see the expressions on their faces.

When I was alive, the people around me laughed and heard me cry; when I died, the people around me cried and watched me laugh.

As soon as I returned home, I hid behind Huaji, Xiyan followed from afar, and went in if I didn't know.

Huaji said: "You still tell your little apprentice why you are so timid, otherwise I will kill some monsters and ghosts in a while and scare him again."

I joked: "Hey, Lord Huaji is very considerate today."

If Huaji had a bad temper, I felt that he would either be mad at me or beat me to death in Guixi. After listening to this, he was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'll scare him to death in a while."

"..."

I walked up to Xiyan who looked puzzled, and said, "How should I put it, this time I'm really not boasting, although I only have a little spiritual power left, but the spiritual power is very pure, but I can't control it It doesn't run outside, and those demons who haven't cultivated well are easily driven by instinct to steal my spiritual power, and now I'm a walking monk."

Xiyan immediately pulled out the fan at his waist and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will protect you."

I smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, your brother Huaji will help me block it, don't be scared by Huaji for a while."

Although Xiyan didn't know what would happen to Huaji, she reluctantly nodded, so I followed Huaji again, her eyes were always staring at me, making me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Oh." I sighed pretendingly.

"What's the matter?" Huaji asked.

"It's a good feeling to have an apprentice. I feel respected and protected by others." I continued.

"..." Several veins appeared on Huaji's forehead.

I stretched out my hand wrapped in cloth strips, waved it in front of him, and continued to bother him: "Look, how neatly the cloth strips are tied? Tsk tsk tsk."

"I knew what you were." Hua Ji angrily dropped this sentence, quickened his pace, and walked forward.

I walked happily alone, but my heart became more and more heavy. I suddenly imagined what it would be like when we parted with Xiyan. This time, I don’t want to keep so many people by my side. pay off.

"Teacher!" Xi Yan called out to me, and as soon as I turned my head, I caught a glimpse of something coming out of the woods beside me out of the corner of my eye.

Before I could hide, a deep resentment swept over me, protecting me, and the resentment roared towards the beast fiercely, throwing it hard in the woods and hitting the tree trunk , The big tree trembled suddenly, and the birds were startled.

It was only then that I saw that it was a tiger. It was knocked dizzy, got up from the ground and shook its head, caught a glimpse of Huaji exuding a murderous aura, turned around and wanted to run.

As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard the sound of something breaking in the woods. From my experience of breaking so much, I think it was a tiger's skull being crushed.

When it was too late and then quickly, something suddenly moved among the trees again. Seeing this, Xiyan wanted to run over, so I waved to him: Don't come over.

Huaji flew over, the hair that was usually tied on top of his head was washed away and fluttered in the air, he opened his eyes suddenly, raised his right hand, and dragged a pig demon that already had a human shape out of the woods, with great resentment Bind the pig demon who still had two big ears that hadn't receded. The tighter and tighter the entanglement, the tighter the pig demon couldn't breathe, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

I said, "Bajie, long time no see."

The pig demon was about to roll his eyes and die, I patted Hua Ji on the shoulder and said, "Brother, calm down."

Ghost officials use resentment, and if they are not careful, they will overuse it, and their consciousness will be swallowed up by the resentment, and they will become ghosts if they become obsessed, and Huaji is no exception.But I have seen exceptions, and Fengji is that exception.

Huaji's resentment was slowly put away, he seemed to dislike the mud on the pig demon's body, so he threw it violently, the pig demon was not strangled to death, but was almost crushed to death.

Huaji tied up his hair quickly with resentment, his face returned to normal, and he left on his own.

The pig demon coughed up blood and suddenly disappeared in place.

In an instant, all the dangerous aura around him disappeared, and it really saves the most effort to kill chickens and monkeys.

As soon as Huaji came out, the soaring resentment alone could scare away a bunch of little demons. After such a scare, it is estimated that no one will come to harass him for half a month.

I looked at Xiyan and saw him gasping for breath, I knew he was frightened.

Huaji said that if the people who stayed in Baiguitan left a shadow, as long as they feel the resentment of ghosts from now on, the memory of fear will come to them again, and this fear may be magnified ten times.

Huaji's resentment is not ordinary resentment, back then, he was also the high-spirited Bai Wuchang.
