To Raise a Soul

As night fell, Yu Zhen nestled in the small building where he lived in the flower garden, pulled his clothes uncomfortably, looked at the little nothingness squatting in front of him, and asked, "Yin Yan really likes this?"

Nothingness flicks its tail: "Meow~"

"Ok, I trust you!"

Yu Zhen reached out to pick it up, stood up straight and looked at herself in a white wide-sleeved robe in the dressing mirror, touched the short hair that didn't fit in with the clothes, suppressed the tension and shame in her heart, and lay down under the quilt.

Ten minutes later, Yin Yan's figure appeared in the room, holding a snack box in his hand.

Yu Zhen immediately threw away the phone and pulled the quilt, covered her clothes, and greeted her actively: "You are here, thank you for helping me buy some snacks, there is nothing to eat here, I am suddenly hungry..."

Yin Yan stepped over, bent down and kissed him on the forehead very naturally, passed the snack box over, and said: "You can't eat too much, it will affect your rest."

"...Hmm." Yu Zhen resisted the urge to kiss back, rolled up the wide sleeves under the quilt, and after making sure that it would not be exposed, stretched out her bare arms "reservedly" to hook the snack box.

Yin Yan looked down at his arm that was exposed outside the quilt, then glanced at the overly tight quilt on his body, silently moved his gaze back, and stared into his eyes.

"..."

Oops, it seems too deliberate.

Yu Zhen felt guilty, and suddenly regretted using the excuse of wanting to eat snacks to trick him into coming later, moved his body pretending to be nothing, and retracted his arms as naturally as possible.

Snapped.

Yin Yan held his arm, and his voice suddenly became lower: "You...have no clothes on?"

"???"

Yu Zhen stared blankly for a second, then his brain exploded immediately, and blushed and said angrily, "You don't have any clothes on! You, you are dirty!"

Yin Yan narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and bit him, and said, "Punishment for talking nonsense."

This bite was very light, not enough to be punished at all, it was just teasing and teasing!

Yu Zhen's brain became hot, and he held his arm and pulled him forward, and said a little stammeringly: "You, you are so dirty, you actually suspect that I have no clothes on, why do I, why don't I wear clothes?" .”

After speaking, he stared at his lips eagerly, secretly expecting another "punishment".

This undisguised desire for a lover is a more straightforward expression of love than "I love you".

Yin Yan's hand that was not held lifted up to cover his face, and kissed him as he wished.

Lips and teeth intertwined, and the body got closer and closer. The quilt on Yu Zhen's body slipped off, revealing the delicate slanted collar of the white robe.

He simply stopped covering it up, raised his arms and hugged Yin Yan's shoulders, his long sleeves slipped off, his collar was half-slanted, half-covered, it was originally a cool white robe of abstinence, but he wore it abruptly A style of natural allure.

However, Yin Yan's reaction after seeing the white robe was completely different from Yu Zhen's prediction. The fluctuating emotions in his eyes suddenly faded away, and he withdrew from his body.

The warmth in front of him disappeared, Yu Zhen opened his eyes, saw him looking straight at the clothes on his body, became nervous again, pulled the crooked collar, and asked: "You, don't you like it? You used to live Everyone in this environment should be dressed like this, I think maybe you will miss the jade crown robes before, just..."

The body was suddenly hugged again, very tight.

Yu Zhen stopped talking, sensitively noticed that Yin Yan's breath was a little unstable, and faintly sensed a suppressed and sad emotion coming from the other party. He wanted to look up at his expression, but his body was hugged too tightly and he couldn't move. , getting worried, stretched out his hand to gently wrap his arms around his back, tugged at the clothes on his back, and asked in a low voice: "Yin Yan, did I remind you of something sad?"

Yin Yan didn't answer, but hugged him even tighter.

Yu Zhen was even more worried, and a little annoyed.

If he was negligent, Yin Yan would become a remnant soul. He must have experienced some terrible things. If he didn't miss the past at all, and even had some shadows in his life, then his current behavior is no different from poking someone's wound.

"I'm sorry, I did something stupid." He walked along Yin Yan's back, empathized with the pain, and comforted him: "I will never mess around again, don't be sad, let him pass the past, and let him pass the past. I'll be with you."

It was still useless, the depressive emotions that were so thick that they almost crushed people swept through the chest cavity in a destructive manner, Yu Zhen's nose was inexplicably sore, and there was even a sense of self-loathing that seemed to come from the depths of his soul. He wanted to resist, but completely Can't resist.

He couldn't even tell whether these emotions were his own or Yin Yan's.

A voice in my heart is asking, why do you always fail to do anything well?Why can't you even grasp the happiness in front of you?Are you happy to screw everything up?

No wonder no one likes you, no wonder everyone avoids you like a snake, no wonder no one wants to speak for you.

You see, you're a piece of shit, you—

"When I saw you for the first time, you were very embarrassed, very embarrassed."

The thought of being about to fall into the abyss was suddenly pulled back by this cool voice. Yu Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Yin Yan who was slowly letting go of him. He couldn't help tightening his hands, not wanting him to leave his side.

Yin Yan didn't retreat too far, only retreated to a distance where he could see his expression clearly, raised his hand to touch his face, the calm expression on his face melted away, his eyes seemed to be warmed, and Yu Zhen's heart was shaken. Come back a little bit warmer.

"Others say you are stupid, say you are stupid, say you..." He paused, touched his face again, and continued: "But I don't think you are outstanding, smart, and hardworking enough. So For me, among the thousands of people in this world, only you are the most special."

Yu Zhen's fingers trembled when he heard this, and he grabbed his clothes tightly.

particular.

Does this mean that in Yin Yan's heart, he, Yu Zhen, is unique...

"You are unique." Yin Yan hugged him again, lowered his head to touch his forehead, and slowly lowered his head sideways, "Yu Zhen, I like you who put on this robe for me more than this robe." .”

Yu Zhen suddenly felt satisfied, and felt as if he had been redeemed. He relaxed from body to mind, closed his eyes and greeted him.

They kissed and entangled very naturally, and the two fell on the bed. This night, Yu Zhen touched Yin Yan as he wished, and was very happy to find that Yin Yan was still very interested in his body, although he was unfortunately venting again. I fell asleep in seconds after one time, and failed to make it to the end.

When the night was darkest in the early morning, Yin Yan got up from the bed and put a dark robe on his body with a wave of his hand. Obviously he also had short hair, but wearing the robe didn't look out of harmony at all, on the contrary, there was a kind of sharpness that was different from usual.

The small building in the flower garden was relatively simple. He picked up the white robe on the ground, walked to the balcony and closed the French windows, calling out: "Nothingness."

Bai Tuanzi appeared, lying on the ground respectfully, trembling.

The spirit pet is dependent on the master's soul, and can sense part of the master's emotions. It can clearly sense now that the seemingly calm master is very angry now.

"Where did you get this dress?"

Wu Wu looked up at him, met his cold gaze, and was so frightened that he lowered his head again and let out a low meow.

Yin Yan looked at it indifferently, and rubbed his fingers against the word "Wen Tian" embroidered on the inside of the hem of the white robe. The real fire rose and burned the two words into two holes in an instant.

"I really hope that he can put on this Zongmen disciple uniform again, stand beside me as my apprentice and Taoist companion, accept everyone's kneeling, and get back everything he lost there."

The white robe fell to the ground, hitting nothingness right in front of it.

"But he doesn't like it. In his last life, he was unwilling to wear this dress again until his death... nothingness, there will be no next time."

The spiritual energy floated on the back of the neck like nothing, and turned back into the black tower body with a futile puff, and after being scaled down, it looked slender and long, not at all round and cute like the little pagodas.

"Go and receive the punishment yourself."

The black tower rolled on the ground and disappeared into the air as a puff of black smoke.

"Take away the disciple uniform, burn it, all."

Heita reappeared tremblingly, sucked the white robe on the ground into his body, and disappeared again.

As the night wind blew, Yin Yan stood under the dim moonlight, with black hair and black clothes, almost melting into the night.

【Master, you are so powerful, you must have come from the great sect. 】

【Master, those so-called masters of famous schools like to wear white robes for their disciples. It's pious... No, master, I'm not talking about you. You look good in white, prettier than everyone else. 】

【Master, why did you change into a black robe?Then I want to wear a white robe, one black and one white, how matching it is. 】

[It's just that pure white is not good-looking... Let's embroider some gold thread, white with gold, low-key and gorgeous! 】

【Master, why don't you speak?Am I disturbing you? 】

【Master? 】

【Master! 】

"No." He regained his senses from his memories, looked at Yu Zhen who was sleeping peacefully in the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, recalled his happy and shy eyes before going to sleep, his heart ached like suffocation, and murmured "You are not noisy...you are very good...as a teacher..." I like you very much...

Yu Zhen actually fell asleep until noon. When she woke up, she was shocked when she found that the sun had risen to the middle of the day. She lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but found that her body was naked, with some traces of ambiguity. She blushed, and quickly covered herself again.

The memory of last night came back, he thought of his clumsy groping on Yin Yan's body, but he didn't make him feel comfortable at all, he was so embarrassed that his head was about to smoke.

As a result, he didn't "repay" him at all, but let the other party "repay" him again.

useless.

boom!

Suddenly there was a loud sound of a house collapsing outside, and Yu Zhen was so frightened that his head was filled with yellow waste, he pulled off the pajamas beside the bed and strode to the balcony to look where the sound came from.

The prefabricated house next door where sundries were piled up was already in ruins. Yin Yan stood in front of the ruins, the black sword in his hand reflecting a low-key dim light in the sunlight.

Yu Zhen looked shocked and asked, "What are you doing?"

Yin Yan heard the voice and looked sideways, put away the sword with a movement of his hand, and replied with a calm face: "The house is too dilapidated, tear it down and rebuild."

"..." Is this the reason for your violent demolition early in the morning?

Yin Yan walked to the balcony and opened his arms: "Come down."

Yu Zhen visually measured the height from the second floor to the ground, and swallowed: "Go down? How do you get down? There are no ladders here."

"Jump down directly." Yin Yan said naturally.

The nursery's house is relatively old, and the floor height is higher than ordinary houses. Even if it is only the second floor, it is three or four meters above the ground. If you jump down, you will definitely break your leg.

Although Yu Zhen's mind was partially clouded by love, he was not stupid, and shook his head vigorously, unable to believe that such an idol-drama-like brain-dead request was actually made by Yin Yan.

Yin Yan hooked his fingers slightly.

The familiar aura entangled her, Yu Zhen stared wide-eyed, and found that her body was out of control in disbelief, she took a passive step forward, climbed over the balcony railing, and jumped.

The aura entangled in his body dissipated the moment his body flew into the air, Yu Zhen choked in his throat with an exclamation, and was about to hit the ground tragically, Yin Yan's voice suddenly rang directly in his head.

[Running aura, calming the mind and relaxing the body. 】

The voice seemed to have magic power, and Yu Zhen instinctively followed suit. As soon as his dantian warmed up, his falling speed slowed down immediately, and then he fell steadily into a warm embrace.

"Although you can't fly with the sword now, you can still walk with a little spiritual energy." Yin Yan let him land, then took the sword, and aimed at the small building in front of him with a stroke.

Rumble.

Violent Demolition Achievement [-] has been achieved.

Yu Zhen was so shocked that she became numb.

"This one is too dilapidated, and still has the aura of the previous owner." Yin Yan retracted his sword, finally satisfied, and said, "As the nursery needs to be reorganized, we can rebuild here by the way."

Yu Zhen turned to look at him, wanting to bite.

"Want to bite me?" Yin Yan looked back, lowered his head slightly and approached him, raised his hand and tapped his forehead, "Bad boy."

Sugar-coated shells.

Yu Zhen pursed her lips, watched Yin Yan's calm face tease her, and secretly pinched herself.

crazy.

The pinched place hurts, but there is a kind of masochistic joy in my heart.

Either he is crazy, or Yin Yan is crazy, or the world is crazy.

He originally thought that Yin Yan was already attractive enough, but he didn't expect that this person would become even more attractive when the two became closer.

Summer must have arrived, he thought, breathing softly unconsciously.

The summer sun was too warm, so hot that he couldn't control his liking for Yin Yan in his heart, and watched that little thought slowly swell and boil until it completely drowned him.

With no place to live, Yu Zhen could no longer use the excuse to tidy up the nursery and stay overnight, so she could only follow Yin Yan back to the apartment.

The nursery has only been tidied up a little, and the transplanted flowers also need to be taken care of. Yu Zhen is a little worried.

Yin Yan saw his careful thinking and said, "You said at the beginning that even if you bought a nursery, you would not put too much energy on it."

"... But Xiaoxiao and the others have no physical body, so they can only help guard the nursery, they can't take care of the flowers and plants, and they haven't had time to hire workers, so I can only be busy for a while." Yu Zhen was dying.

Yin Yan ruthlessly snuffed out his small thoughts: "The flowers and plants you transplanted from the pot have already partially mutated under the influence of Bodhi lotus, so it is not suitable to hire outsiders to take care of them."

Yu Zhen, who is the owner of flowers and plants, definitely knows this better than him.

Yu Zhen choked, guilty and silent.

After finally having his own nursery, he really wanted to spend more time in it.

Yin Yan drove the car across the intersection smoothly, looked at him sideways, changed his words, and said: "I will help you solve the problem of hiring workers. You can come to see the nursery regularly. I will accompany you, but you can't live here all the time. , you can’t fall behind in cultivation.”

Yu Zhen raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes.

"You're not allowed to do bad things secretly again."

"I didn't do anything wrong—" Yu Zhen retorted halfway, remembering the failed temptation of the white robe last night, silently shut up, looked ahead and sat down obediently, being honest.

Yu Zhen didn't go back to the apartment for a few days, but Yu Zhen actually missed it very much, and fell into the turning basin as soon as he got home.

In the past few days, he has been turning things out of the turning basin through nothingness, so he can't go in and take care of them himself.

The small tree by the lotus pond has kept ten leaves for a long time, he was a little distressed, and asked nothing, but nothing knew what was going on, so he ran to ask Yin Yan, Yin Yan only said to follow the fate, and told him not to pay too much attention.

He couldn't, so he tried his best to come in every day to feed merit to the little tree, to ensure that although the little tree didn't grow leaves, it was best not to drop them.

The greening project on the construction site has also officially started, and all the plants needed by Yu Zhen have already been cultivated on the soil.After the start of work, he took people to various nurseries to purchase a batch of plants with great fanfare by type, and then threw them all into the pots, and swapped the ones he cultivated.

No way, his own nursery hasn't been done yet, so in order not to look suspicious, he can only use this stupid method.

Trucks transporting flower seedlings and saplings drove into the construction site one after another. The "flower planting" workers who were a little impetuous due to the hot weather got a little more energetic after smelling the fragrance of the plants, and got up and gathered together.

"The next step is to work hard everyone." Yu Zhen got off the first truck and greeted the leading workers.

"It's not hard work. Mr. Yu and Mr. Yin are willing to hire us disabled veterans and workers in need, and give us such good benefits. It's our luck."

The leading one-armed middle-aged man said, although his expression was naturally serious, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Yu Zhen stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, without saying too many polite words, he called everyone to start unloading and assigning planting areas.

These special workers invited were not professional gardeners, and Yu Zhen had to explain to them the precautions for transplanting each plant in detail.The workers listened very carefully, they were obviously rough, but they were careful and steady in doing things.

Yu Zhen did not act as a hands-off shopkeeper like other bosses, but participated in the whole process of planting flowers and plants, and from time to time secretly made up for some flowers and plants that were wilted or injured during handling.

When Yin Yan brought Feng Yuan and others over, what he saw was Yu Zhen digging a hole among a group of workers.

Although he is a monk, he is a body of flesh and blood after all. After being exposed to the sun for a day, his face has already been sunburned, there is sweat on his shirt, and there are two mud marks on his face. I don't know how it got on.

"Are these flowers and plants selected by Xiao Zhen?"

Feng Yuan knelt down and touched the saplings on the ground, then turned his head to ask Yin Yan.

"It's his contact channel, and he personally selected the goods." Yin Yan replied, and called Yin Hexiang's assistant, Jin Kai, to help Feng Yuan and the others, then said excuse me, and walked towards Yu Zhen who was still digging a hole.

After he left, Feng Lin also squatted next to Feng Yuan, pretending to look down at the saplings, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, do you see anything?"

Feng Yuan shook his head: "Although Yin Yan has a strange aura and a strange fate, he is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't seem to know that Yu Zhen is a monk."

Bo Xiu also squatted down and put his head together: "Old Feng, are you going to bypass Yin Yan and talk to Yu Zhen today? All the recent movements in City B should be related to him, even if it's just for the stability of the cultivation world in City B. We have to connect with him too."

Feng Yuan still shook his head and said the same words: "Look again."

Before Bo Xiu could speak this time, Feng Lin became anxious and said anxiously: "Grandpa, what exactly do you want to see? Now that Yin Yan's identity as an ordinary person has been confirmed, and it has been confirmed that Yu Zhen did not use magic to confuse him." , and Yu Zhen also helped solve the problem of this big evil field, he is definitely a good monk who is good for the people, what else do you want to see?"

Bo Xiu also looked at Feng Yuan, apparently having the same thought as Feng Lin.

Feng Yuan hesitated for a moment, his fingers moved slightly to temporarily blur the hearing of the people around him, and said: "This is not what I want to see, actually... When I met Qing Xuzi back then, I had a conversation with him, and he told me something thing."

"What's the matter?" Feng Lin asked impatiently.

This is really not a good place to talk, but for some reason, Fengyuan suddenly didn't want to hide it anymore, and said in detail: "Back then, Qing Xuzi said that he had figured out that a great evil person would be born, but he couldn't figure out where the great evil person was. , suspected that he would be by his side, so he decided to find a place to live in seclusion, and try to avoid the appearance of the big evil. After so many years, Qing Xuzi never appeared again. Everyone only knew that he lived in seclusion in H province, but no one could find him. he."

Now that Qingxuzi's name reappeared in the realm of comprehension, he couldn't help but think about it.

Bo Xiu's mind turned quickly, and he immediately understood his concerns, frowned, glanced at Yu Zhen who was talking to Yin Yan not far away, and said, "Old Feng, do you suspect that Qing Xuzi's words have really come true? Yu Zhen..."

"But Grandpa, didn't you say that Yu Zhen's merits are very strong? People with evil spirits can't keep their merits." Feng Lin thought in a straight line and found a contradiction.

It was rare for Feng Yuan to agree with his statement, and replied: "That's why I said to look again. Yu Zhen came to City B alone, but Qingxuzi did not follow. There are two possibilities. One is that Qingxuzi may still be living in seclusion, The great evil has not yet been born. The other is that Qing Xuzi has...and the great evil has been born, and Yu Zhen is Qing Xuzi's successor to deal with the great evil. I am more inclined to the latter Guessing, combined with the recent turmoil in City B and the appearance of demons in this world, I suspect that the evil person is in City B, by Yu Zhen's side."

By Yu Zhen's side... As far as they know, after Yu Zhen arrived in City B, he only had a lot of contact with the Yin family.

Feng Lin and Bo Xiu couldn't help but focus on Yin Yan.

Speaking of which... the fate of the eldest young master of the Yin family is really strange. I heard that he had been fighting for a woman a few years ago, but now he suddenly changed his sexual orientation and married Yu Zhen.

Moreover, the young master of the Yin family had a car accident in H province just a few years ago, and he also met Yu Zhen at that time.

It seems that the time when the signs of the evil spirit appeared appeared not long after Yin Yan returned to City B...

Suspicious, too suspicious.

Coincidence, too coincidental.

In order to resolve the crisis in the realm of self-cultivation, a kind-hearted monk sacrificed his color to get close to the Great Shaman, and the story of sacrificing himself into the wolf's mouth to wait for an opportunity to solve the crisis slowly took shape in his mind.

Feng Lin and Bo Xiu couldn't help but shift their eyes to Yu Zhen again, and sighed deeply when they saw him smiling and unable to hide their love for Yin Yan.

If this is really the case, then Qing Xuzi's descendants will suffer... Good boy, what a good boy.
