Love your pet egg

"Master Lou, please stay... Be careful, Master Lou!"

A colleague behind him called out, and Lou Zhi turned his head and staggered. The adult watched Lou Zhi roll down the stairs, and his face turned pale with shock, "Lord Lou! Master Lou!"

Lou Zhi grinned and got up, he took out the sachet in his arms and took a look, and sure enough, another petal was broken into fine powder.

That colleague was extremely guilty, "It's all because of the recklessness of the lower officials, Mr. Lou, are you alright?"

"It's none of your business," Lou Zhi smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's my own bad luck."

"Master Lou, where are you going? The officer will give you a ride..."

"No need, my family is waiting outside the palace."

Lou Zhi twisted his waist, he didn't hurt his tendons or bones, he and his colleague discussed business affairs while walking, the two of them walked out of the palace gate and said goodbye, after walking a few steps, Lou Zhi found Lou's carriage waiting. Outside the main entrance, the young man in brocade clothes standing beside the carriage was Peony. His eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately held onto his waist. His face was filled with more pain. Sure enough, Peony walked up to him quickly:

"What happened again?"

"Peony!" Lou Zhi flattened his mouth in grievance, ready to cry, "I fell!"

The flowers on Peony's fingertips suddenly lit up, Lou Zhi hurriedly pressed his hand, "Don't! It's not serious, don't treat me!"

Lou Zhi already knew that this flower is the body of the peony, and each petal is the flesh and blood of the peony. Since the peony turned into a human, Lou Zhi has lost count of how many petals he tore off to save himself. , and hurriedly jumped on the spot, "It doesn't matter to me, look at me alive and kicking!"

Mudan saw that he was fine, so she asked, "Have you gone to see the princess?"

"Look," Lou Zhi opened the door of the carriage, let Peony go up first, followed by himself, and sighed softly, "The imperial doctor said I'm afraid it's not good...Princess Zhaoyang's health has always been very good, but somehow she became terminally ill. Well, Your Majesty is at a loss what to do, even folk Taoists have been invited here, and they are dead horses who want to be living horse doctors... What's wrong with you, Mudan? Why do you look so ugly?"

Peony lowered her eyelashes, and concealedly picked up the teacup on the small table in front of her. The hazy heat well covered the guilt and sadness in his eyes, but Lou Zhi still felt his anxiety and melancholy.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of Taoist priests?" Lou Zhi held Peony's hand, the slender and white knuckles seemed to be carved from ice jade, beautiful and beautiful, but lacked warmth, Lou Zhi didn't know if it was Because Mudan has only cultivated into a human form and can't adapt to the life of a human being, the young man always looks worried, "Don't be afraid, you have never harmed anyone, you have saved many victims in Lingnan, no one will embarrass you, Even if there is, I will protect you."

Mudan shook her head lightly: "I'm not afraid, you have a marriage contract with Princess Zhaoyang, and now..."

"Are you worried about me?" Lou Zhi smiled, holding Peony's hand tightly, "It's okay, although I have an engagement with the princess, but now she is ill, this engagement may be voided, no matter what the emperor does Won't take your anger on me..."

"You and the princess," Mudan sighed softly, "You are destined to be married..."

"Really?" Lou Zhi was taken aback, "You mean, the princess will recover from her illness?"

For some reason, even though he knew it shouldn't be, when he heard Mudan say such a thing, and thought of the possibility that the princess would get married after recovering from the illness, Lou Zhi's mood was not relaxed, but rather darkened.

Although he didn't like the princess in the past, the emperor's order was hard to disobey, and he couldn't disobey it, but now that he has Peony, it is difficult for him to accept it if he is asked to marry someone else.

Lou Zhi is not stupid, he knows that he has indescribable feelings for this flower demon boy, he even thinks that Peony likes him, otherwise why would Peony save him time and time again, the grace of saving life is promised by her body, Lou Zhi Naively feel that this is justified.

Thinking of this, Lou Zhi moved from the seat opposite Mudan to sit next to him, and tentatively grabbed Mudan's shoulders, but Mudan did not refuse.

The young man's lips were rosy and soft after drinking hot tea, and his dazed expression revealed a delicate and soft beauty, the most delicate brush in the world might not be able to paint such a beautiful face.

Lou Zhi finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Peony, do you think I... okay?"

Mudan was looking down and thinking about something, when Lou Zhi's voice suddenly rang in his ears, he raised his head slightly, and looked at him puzzled: "Huh?"

Lou Zhi pursed his lips, his eyes showed mixed emotions of anticipation and apprehension, but he asked again clearly: "Do you think I am a good person?"

"Okay," Peony nodded, "You are a good person."

Lou Zhi's ears were so hot that he was about to burn, he held his breath: "Then you...do you like me?"

Peony raised his head again, his eyes were clear, slightly confused, as if he didn't know why Lou Zhi asked such a question, but he still nodded slightly.

Lou Zhi licked his lips nervously, thinking of more direct and frank words, at this moment, the carriage stopped, and the driver outside shouted loudly: "Who dares to block in the street, do you know whose car it is?" ?”

A man's voice came through the curtain of the car, as low as the evening drum and the morning bell:

"I have something to see your master, please accommodate me."

Lou Zhi raised the curtain of the car and looked out, but saw a man in Tsing Yi holding a child standing in front of the car, he was obviously someone who had met once in Yue'an City.

"This brother," Lou Zhi was astonished. This man in Tsing Yi had a kind of coercion around his body. He is like a tall god statue, Mingming Lou is a bit taller when he sits in the car, but he still can't help being intimidated by the people in front of him, so even if he was stopped by the car, he took the lead in saluting very politely, "May I ask what do you want?" What? Why don’t you come to the car and talk about it.”

The man's gaze turned to Mudan behind Louzhi, who was holding a white-clothed boy with one hand. The boy was holding a jade-white egg in his hand, and looked at him curiously.

Peony was pierced by the man's gaze. This man exuded a golden light that he couldn't look at directly. This is an immortal with unfathomable cultivation and status. He thought in panic, this man is Not to punish myself, after he intervened in the life of a mortal and violated the rules of heaven...

The man pointed to the egg held by the little boy and asked Peony. His voice was low and exciting:

"Has this little brother seen this thing before?"

After seeing the egg, Peony suddenly realized:

"I did see such an egg, and it broke my... my home..."

The man nodded, apologetic in his eyes: "The boy destroyed your cave, I apologize on his behalf." He stretched out one palm, holding an object that looked like a weight and a seal, "This thing may be useful to you in the future .”

"It doesn't matter," Mudan found out that this person did not come to trouble him, but apologized instead, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I have a new place to live, sir, don't worry about it, let alone..."

"Accept it," the man's tone was indifferent, but his voice was undeniable. The majesty of the superior can be seen. He waved his sleeves, and a faint blue light passed by, and the object fell into Peony's arms. Peony still wanted to He refused, but froze suddenly when he heard his next sentence, "This thing is called Guikuxian, which can summon souls and suppress ghosts, and can also help ghosts to cultivate and prove the way. I am ignorant, and it will drag you and this mortal life. At this point, let’s talk about making up for it. The fate is fixed, and saving it will only create more variables. It’s better to let nature take its course, maybe there will be no chance.”

Mudan stared wide-eyed, but the man nodded slightly at Lou Zhi, then turned and left with the boy in his arms.

"grown ups!"

Peony hurriedly got out of the car, but there was no figure of the man in green clothes around. He looked at the Guikuxian in his hand, and suddenly realized that this man had completely seen through the fate of himself and Lou Zhi.

Originally, he and Louzhi had no chance to meet each other, but they became involved because of this egg that fell from the sky, and even changed Louzhi's fate because of it. But the man in Tsing Yi said to let nature take its course, and presented him with ghost crying strings. Did he actually want to give up and continue his life for Lou Zhi, let Lou Zhi follow his fate, and become a ghost cultivator after his untimely death?

"This man is so strange, what does he mean?" Lou Zhi followed Mudan out of the car, confused.

"Did you see what the kid was holding in his hand?"

"Did you see that egg? It looks like it's made of stone, and it looks bigger than ordinary eggs. It's nothing special."

Peony explained patiently:

"My original cave was in Tianxiang Cave on Yaojia Mountain. One day when I was practicing, the egg suddenly fell from the sky and smashed the dragon-breaking stone on my cave door, and blocked my practice, so I found another place to take root. However, there was a thunderstorm and then you, this person came here to apologize."

"An egg..." Lou Zhi felt incredible, "Such a small thing can smash your hole?"

"That's not an ordinary egg," Mudan chuckled. "Although I don't know the origin of the master and apprentice, they must be the venerables of the upper three realms. The egg is full of aura. things."

At that time, Peony didn't have a human form, so it was inconvenient to walk, otherwise he would probably have picked up the egg.

"Ah!" Lou Zhi immediately remembered that he was accompanying his mother to Yaojia Mountain to burn incense and saw Peony on the side of the road, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "So, it's because of that egg that you and I can meet each other." He should not apologize, but I should thank him for that egg!"

Lou Zhi's eyes shone like pearls in the sun, and rippled contentedly and gently like warm water waves, this gaze gave Mudan the courage to confess everything: "Lou Zhi, I have something to tell you. "

Lou Zhi lightly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Just say whatever you want."

The two sat back in the carriage, and Mudan opened her mouth and asked, "Lou Zhi, do you like being human?"

This question is really weird, Lou Zhi is inexplicable: "What does this mean?"

"Man is the spirit of all things. I am a demon. I have practiced for 500 years to obtain a human body. All kinds of hardships in the process are beyond words. Being a human is really a great gift from God. You need to cultivate blessings in your previous life to reincarnate from generation to generation. You are willing to give up reincarnation in this world. Do... be a ghost?"

Lou Zhi was startled: "Ghost?! When a person dies...doesn't he become a ghost..."

"Yes, people die as ghosts, but not all ghosts can enter reincarnation, and not all ghosts have the opportunity to be reborn as humans, Lou Zhi," Mudan said seriously, "Princess Zhaoyang is a mysterious girl from the upper three realms. You have been married to her for a lifetime, but the day I turned into a human form, I asked you what your wish was, and you said, you don’t want to marry the princess..."

Lou Zhi's brain was buzzing, and he could hardly digest what Mudan said:

"I... I thought it was a dream..."

Peony shook her head lightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes:

"At that time, I didn't know the seriousness of the situation, so... I broke the thread between you and the princess, and ruined your fate. Lou Zhi, I'm sorry..."

"No, no," Lou Zhi was still dazed by this fact, his throat tightened, but he subconsciously stopped Mudan, "It's none of your business, you meant it well, but I said it out loud, that's why I've been doing things like this lately." Unlucky, it's all because I broke off the marriage with the princess? It's my fault that you saved me again and again..."

Peony's voice was as soft as a raving, but every word could be heard clearly in Lou Zhi's ears:

"Under the rules of heaven, if you don't ask right or wrong, neither you nor I can escape punishment..."

Lou Zhi gripped Mudan's wrist in panic:

"What kind of punishment? What will happen to you? Who will punish you? You did this for me. No matter what kind of punishment, let me bear it..."

Mudan never expected that Louzhi's first reaction would be like this. He felt a little astonished, and then a warm current slowly flowed through his heart. He covered the back of Louzhi's hand with his other hand, and patted Louzhi awkwardly. :

"I'm fine. Now we're talking about you. The change between you and Princess Zhaoyang will cause you to be unable to be a human being in the next three lifetimes."

Lou Zhi was stunned, as if there was something rumbling in his ear, he only felt a chill from the back of his spine to his brain:

"You're saying that I... I'll be reincarnated... to be an animal..."

This fact is too scary, mortals would like to explore the destiny, but if they know their future fate is so terrible, this kind of despair can drive people crazy.

Peony looked at him sadly, closed her eyes, and continued, "The only way to prevent you from falling into the animal realm is to break away from reincarnation, but ghost cultivators are much more difficult than demon cultivators. There will be no more, will you?"

Lou Zhi was nailed there like an ice sculpture for a long time, and finally he spoke hoarsely: "Ghost Xiu... In that case, can I still recognize you?"

Peony was stunned for a while, and thought for a while seriously: "Of course I recognize it."

"After that, I won't die, I will be like you... You are a demon cultivator, you won't grow old, you won't die, and I will be the same, right?"

Peony nodded hesitantly.

Lou Zhi's pale face was instantly stained with an inexplicable blush, and he became excited for some reason: "Then can't we be together forever? Even if there is another thunder disaster, I can stay with you, and you can also stay with me , Is that so? If we don’t behave like human beings, wouldn’t we be able to be together longer and longer!”

Mudan smiled wryly, Louzhi is a mortal, and the greatest punishment is to be reincarnated into the animal realm, but he is a demon registered in the Complete Book of the Six Realms, destroying Xuannv's mortal calamity, waiting for him to deprive him of his cultivation If he returns to his original form, the sky will be destroyed by thunder and ashes. Even if he is lucky enough to keep his soul, he will not be able to accompany Lou Zhi.

Ghosts have their own ways, and demons have their own way, they cannot continue to be together.

However, before Mudan could explain, Lou Zhi intertwined his fingers along his wrist, and said eagerly: "Peony, will you stay with me? Then I won't be afraid. As long as you are here, I will be a man or a ghost." don't even care..."

Lou Zhi's fingers were cold, but the palm was hot. The heat made Mudan somehow feel a slight pain in her heart, like a long sharp needle pierced into it. The wound was extremely thin, but blood oozes out. It hurts so badly.

Lou Zhi was a little incoherent, he was young and romantic, it's not that he didn't say sweet words in the romantic field, but his unrestrained ease could not be used in front of Mudan, he had never been so sincere, let alone confessed to a man , He looked at Peony's eyes mixed with confusion, guilt, and sadness. He knew that Peony didn't understand at all. In desperation, he bent down/body up, replaced words with actions, and printed his lips on Peony's lips.

……

"ah!"

Eleven immediately raised his hands, covering Jiang Xiaoli's eyes firmly with one hand, and covering his own with the other hand, but the fingers of the hand covering him were spread open, and the bony eyes looked through the gaps between the fingers. Looking at the scene that is not suitable for children.

Jiang Li also felt a surge of hot blood rushing straight to his brain, his limbs and bones seemed to be boiling with lava, and all the blood vessels were boiling hot.

Although Jiang Li's body is that of a child, his soul is that of a thousand-year-old devil.

In his previous life, he first practiced the technique of Yunji Palace, and he was pure-hearted and ascetic for many years. After awakening the blood of the demon, he also tried his best to restrain his demon nature, because he had a jewel-like Fu Changlan in his heart, but he only cared for Fu Changlan. He has never had love/lust for him, because he has never realized that men can also have such feelings for men.

It turns out that there can be longing and love between two men.

What Louzhi did to Mudan undoubtedly opened the door to this old devil's new world.

It's a pity that the eyes could be covered, but the low breathing and Shen Yin's voice in the narrow carriage could not be concealed. Jiang Li endured it for a long time, and finally pushed away Eleven's hand:

"Can we stay out of this car?"
