Half Demon and Half Mountain

Cen Shen was very angry. On the one hand, he was angry that he could only watch Huan Le go away without being able to do anything; on the other hand, he was angry that Huan Le left him and walked away without even looking at him.

But he also understands that Huan Le can't see himself at all, and he doesn't know himself yet, so he can't be blamed for this.I was so depressed, it was a bit unreasonable to make trouble.

But he is just angry, his mind is full of the back view of Huan Le's departure just now, and he can't get rid of it.

However, Liu Qi seemed to be thinking about it because of the reunion with his master. He returned to Nanliu Bridge, rented a shop with a backyard, and continued to study the problem of the little hydrangea.

Within a few days, a new plaque was hung on the shop - Datang Craftsman Association.

He began to test the way of heaven.

The real founding date of the Great Tang Craftsman Association was the 23rd year of Zhenguan, and it was only the 13th year of Zhenguan at this time. Liu Qi made it appear ten years earlier, which disrupted history to some extent.And the real location of the Craftsman Association is not Chang'an, but Luoyang.

In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin died, and Empress Wu moved his capital to Luoyang.

In addition, Liu Qi started a series of experiments.Song Li is one of them.

And all this, the master knows.

Liu Qi never concealed anything from Master, and Master never expressed any shock and astonishment at this shocking world.On this destined lonely road, he is the only one who can and dares to give advice.

"When you open the door to do business, you should pay attention to the word integrity. You can't buy and sell by force." Because of this sentence, the signboard of the Datang Craftsman Association has been hanging for three months, but no business has been made.

Liu Qi almost went bankrupt.

He opened this shop just to conduct experiments, but he is not a villain who will use any means to achieve his goals, nor does he intend to change the lives of others without authorization because of the little hydrangea, so what the master said, he also complied, and is selecting the subjects for the experiment Above, very cautious.

The master is a steelyard, he didn't stop Liu Qi, but he kept watching from the sidelines, thinking about it in his heart.

Perhaps it was because of the change of fate that this master seemed extraordinarily free and easy and detached.He didn't shy away from talking to Liu Qi about what happened after his death, and he was also full of curiosity about the time Wu Chongan lived in. Various factors mixed together and gradually formed a new master.

This master is very unusual, for example, he would encourage Liu Qi to drink flower wine with him.

In the past, he would never have been able to do this.

Drinking flower wine does not necessarily mean having fun, but Cen Shen is still a little annoyed by it.Because the master is so prudish, it is absolutely impossible to tell his student Huan Le about this matter, and it is impossible to bring Huan Le with him, so Cen Shen will never see him.

Cen Shen misses him a little.

Looking at the scene of Liu Qi and his master drinking leisurely, he felt even more panicked.

When will he see Huan Le again?

Cen Shen tried every time to break free from Liu Qi, but all ended in failure.The more this was the case, the more he missed Huan Le, and as time passed, it seemed like he was suffering from lovesickness.

This can't be blamed on him, if you want to blame it, you can blame the third son Huan for being too famous.

Liu Qi lives in Nanliu Bridge, and the people in Nanliu Bridge are very familiar with Huan Le.Although Cen Shen couldn't see anyone else, he could always hear his name from the neighbor's mouth, and he could also hear that delicate girl yearning for him.

Huan Mansion is not far from Nanliu Bridge, sometimes in the dead of night he would think, what is Huan Le doing now?

"Mr. Huan is not young anymore, and I don't know what kind of girl he will marry in the future."

"I heard that Mrs. Huan held a flower viewing banquet last month, I'm afraid I'm going to start showing him..."

"Third Young Master, that is really handsome, even more handsome than Tan Hualang from Xinke, which girl doesn't like him..."

"Isn't there a Second Young Master above?"

"..."

Cen Shen felt more irritable than before.

He knew that Huan Le would eventually come to him, but hearing these words with his own ears was still unpleasant.You three young masters don't like girls like flower feasts or girls.

No, does he really not like girls?

He just saw that he was good-looking, a proper dog.

There may not be any girls in Chang'an who are prettier than him. Watching him for a few more years may make him fall in love with him.When the time comes, the perfect couple will not only be more beautiful than Tanhualang, but even the number one scholar will not be as beautiful as him.

Didn't you hear the rumors in the market, which girl was childhood sweetheart with him, and which son rode horses and whips with him, young and romantic.

The more Cen Shen couldn't break free from the predicament, the more he couldn't help thinking about it. Sometimes he felt that he should fight bravely, but sometimes he was shrouded in the darkness in front of him, and his whole person became more and more gloomy.

Until one day, he finally saw Huan Le again.

It was in the Hongjin Courtyard, the master took Liu Qi to drink flower wine again, and bumped into his student unexpectedly.

Master didn't want to meet Huan Le here, so he took Liu Qi to hide.Liu Qi hid behind the screen with him with a dark face, a gust of fragrant wind blew by, and the handsome man in red was surrounded by girls and went to the second floor.

Cen Shen watched through Liu Qi's eyes, his face was as dark as Liu Qi's.

Look how happy he is.

There are a large group of girls around, all of them are thin and fat, and they all have a "three young masters" in their mouths, all of them are very sweet.

"This little bastard." The master came out from behind the screen, looked at Huan Le's back from a distance, smiled and reprimanded softly: "If you don't learn well at a young age, you will definitely punish him for making a fuss."

Liu Qi looked at him coldly, and said: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

"Brother Liu, you are wrong. I didn't come here to have fun, I just came here to drink."

"Is there a difference?"

The two of them were talking and left the Hongjin Courtyard by themselves.

Cen Shen wanted to see Huan Le, and wanted to turn his head several times, but was led forward by Liu Qi.Trying to break away forcefully, my head started to hurt, as if my soul was about to be torn apart.

Calling Huan Le's name, but no one heard.

He missed Huan Le again.

But soon, he saw Huan Le again.This time it was Huan Le who came to the door on his own initiative, as he once said, came to the Craftsman Association to buy a birthday present for his mother.

Liu Qi received him, but he didn't experience the ghost feast himself, he only knew that this was Master's student, but he didn't know that this was the person Master saved at the ghost feast, so he didn't treat him differently.

But the master said that this student is very rich, so Liu Qi sold the glazed pagoda for a high price.

Liu Qi is actually not suitable for business, because he doesn't know how to sell, and he doesn't know how to deal with other people's bargaining.But Huan Le is an extremely wealthy person who treats money like dung, with a handful of gold leaves in his pocket, and never cares about the price when buying things.

How many did you say.

I feel ok.

Transaction.

It went so well that Liu Qi felt that he was a good person.

Afterwards, Liu Qi mentioned this matter to the Master, and the Master pondered for a moment, and said, "I happen to like a set of pens and inks."

So Liu Qi took his wife to buy, buy, buy, and went to Baihualou to have a good meal along the way.

Cen Shen couldn't complain, it was because the shameless behavior of these two people broke through his previous cognition.But after thinking about it, Wu Chongan still hid the picture of the Spring Palace under the bed, so he thought it was okay.

Just be happy.

Cen Shen is the only one who is unhappy, he can't drink his wife's wine, he can't touch Huan Le's hand, he can see everything, but the world ignores him.

He seems to be shielded from the spring of Chang'an, like a transparent person who can't make his own voice, and everything he does is futile.

This state of affairs is maddening.

Over time, he couldn't help feeling resentful, not for this Huan Le in Chang'an, but for the Huan Le in Xizi Hutong.He promised to save him, why didn't he come?

Have you given up on him?

Whenever he thought of this, Cen Shen felt a wave of panic, which was a panic deeper than death.But he vaguely remembered what he said to Huan Le before he fell into a coma, he said that, how could it be possible that Huan Le didn't come to save him?

Huan Le loves him.

Agui also told him more than once: You have to try to trust Huan Le.

But what to do?

What should he do?

The content of the memory will definitely stop abruptly after Liu Qi returns to modern times, because Liu Qi will die by then.According to the current progress, Song Li has already come to buy a pen, and it is not far from the ghost banquet.

Cen Shen could vaguely feel that if he couldn't get out of here before these memories ended, then in reality he might never be able to wake up.

But if he was forced to leave, the pain like tearing his soul might kill him too.

So what on earth should he do?

With such perplexity and struggle, the day of the ghost feast is finally approaching day by day.Cen Shen still could only watch, unable to do anything.

After several years of getting along with each other, Liu Qi noticed a clue—Huan Le might have some relationship with the former master, but he couldn't be sure.

Liu Qi actually didn't care whether Huan Le was alive or dead, but years of getting along made him unable to ignore his wife.So he let his wife know a little bit about it, and on the night of the Hungry Ghost Festival, his master asked Huan Le to drink at home.

The master never thought that this matter would have such serious consequences, nor did he think that Huan Le would not abide by the agreement and stay in the city.He received a message from Huan Le using spells, and when he learned that he was about to miss the appointment, he felt flustered for no reason.

But the city gate was closed, and he was an ordinary person without any martial arts, so he could only ask Liu Qi for help.

Liu Qi had given him a magic weapon for easy contact, Master used this magic weapon to notify Liu Qi, and within a short while, Liu Qi appeared at his home.

"What if Banshan went to the ghost feast tonight?" the master asked.

"Maybe he will die, maybe he won't." Although Liu Qi is a demigod, he can't completely see through the secrets.According to the rules of heaven, Huan Le shouldn't have died, so if Master didn't save him, someone else might.

The master frowned: "So...you're still not sure?"

Liu Qi nodded: "Not sure."

"No, I can't take risks." The master made a decision in a short while, fixed his eyes on Liu Qi, and said solemnly: "Do me a favor and send me into the city."

Liu Qi was silent for a moment, and said: "You can hide the matter of changing your life from the world, but you can't hide it from the Tower of Rebirth. Maybe he doesn't need you to save him, but you will die there. The punishment in the Tower of Rebirth will be very heavy."

Going around in circles, the master will still die.Liu Qi once again felt the shackles of the Dao of Heaven, as if no matter how hard she tried, she was trapped in this vicious circle and could not break free.

But the master's eyes are so determined, "You also say, maybe. There are so many uncertain things in this world, and a small deviation can change a person's life. Many people call it fate, and suffering is fate. Happiness is also fate; being born in a mediocre life is fate, and life is fate if half a life is rough and in the end, it seems that this statement can be applied no matter what, but do you think it is right?"

Liu Qi didn't answer.

The master looked at the candlelight which was blown by the wind, and said: "You have been fighting against the law of heaven, and you have asked me many times what the answer is. But if I tell you an answer, I am afraid you will not accept it, because the answer It’s always in your heart. It’s only your answer if you believe in it yourself.”

"Then what's the answer in your heart?" Liu Qi asked back.

"It's me." The master smiled, and he was as upright as a breeze, "I don't want to change my life because I want to see different scenery, not to follow the fate; It is his own choice to live and die for the times, which is worthy of admiration. It is an insult to him to use the word "fate". At this moment, I choose to save my students, which is also my choice. It's just a choice in life."

After a pause, Master stared at Liu Qi and said, "The fate has changed, but the choice at the moment is different."

Is it just a different choice?

The same question appeared in the hearts of Liu Qi and Cen Shen, stirring back and forth.The master always seems to be the one who lives the most clearly. He thinks about problems differently from everyone else.

The candle flames flickered and scattered a dim yellow.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and after a long time, Liu Qi asked in a deep voice, "Do you have to go?"

The Master replied without hesitation, "I'm going."

Whether in life or in death, the Master has always been resolute.Although he has the commandment of "lonely life", he never said anything against fate, but he is the one who lives the most free and easy.

He is about to die tonight, but Cen Shen knows that his dying and his own dying are two different things.

I want to die because I can't bear the pain, it's a compromise, it's surrender.If he was really free and easy like the master, he wouldn't be so painful.

It is because he has never been brave, and he has no courage to choose to live.

Always waiting for others to save him, always wrapping himself with thorns all over his body.

In Cen Shen's heart, it seemed that another ball of fire was burning. Looking at his master, he suddenly thought of the boy in red on the Nanliu Bridge.He didn't know how long he had been unconscious in reality, but Huan Le must still be waiting for him.

He still remembered Huan Le half kneeling on the ground, begging -- "A Cen, wait for me a little longer, give me a little more time, okay?"

Why is this happening?

He should be the radiant boy from Tang Dynasty that everyone loves, but he showed that look because of him.

It shouldn't be like this, if I can be braver, it won't be like this.

The more Cen Shen thought about it, the more intense the fire in his heart burned.But at this time Liu Qi finally compromised and sent Master to the long street not far from the ghost banquet.

There are no river lights floating by here, and it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The moon hangs high, and the wine flag of a small tavern casts a lonely figure on the ground.

The master was worried about Huan Le, so he lifted his clothes and ran towards the ghost banquet.But he stopped after running a few steps, turned around, and bowed to Liu Qi who was standing in the dark shadow.

Neither of them was talking, but a glance at each other said everything.

The master didn't have any nostalgia anymore, turned around and plunged into the night.From such a distance, Cen Shen seemed to still be able to see the sweat oozing from his forehead and his rapid breathing.

That was clearly a frail back, but at the moment, Cen Shen felt that he was like a knight with a sword on his back and going to the battlefield.

Perhaps, he should also go to his own battlefield.

Liu Qi turned and left, but this time Cen Shen decided not to go with him no matter what.He had to break free and use his own sword to cut out a new soul.
