There are always monsters coming to eat

sense.

"Would it be weird..." Canshen felt a little embarrassed when he saw Shiyu, "In the past, he helped me dress my thrush eyebrows, but it doesn't seem too good for me to do it myself all morning."

"The hairpin," Shi Yu pointed to Silkworm God's hair, "it's crooked."

Canshen rearranged his hair and asked Shiyu nervously:

"now what?"

"En." Shi Yu nodded, seeing Silkworm God's somewhat expectant and nervous eyes, paused and added, "Very beautiful."

"Thank you..." Canshen breathed a sigh of relief, "Obviously we've been together for so long, and even feel bored with him, but when I think about seeing him again, I still feel a little nervous."

"I always feel like I want to meet my lover."

"Isn't he your lover?" Shi Yu asked.

Silkworm God was stunned for a moment, she had promised to marry King Ma Ming for a long time and that's why she became Silkworm God, but in the past few hundred years, if they were husband and wife, they would only have had sex in bed, if they were lovers But that intimacy is missing.

Silkworm God himself had never seriously thought about what this was to the two of them.But after hearing what the mother-in-law said yesterday, she actually felt warm in her heart. She felt that she had a lot to ask, a lot to say, to ask that person what he was thinking, and to tell him that she was actually Can not do without him.

"When you see him today, let's tell him." Shi Yu could feel that Silkworm God also had King Ma Ming in his heart, and when he thought of the two of them being together day and night but missing a hundred years, he felt a little sorry for them.

"Well," Canshen responded softly when he heard Shiyu's words, and then raised his head to look at Shiyu, "Fortunately, they gave me your place to live, and said that looking for you might help me, otherwise I might I'll cry all the time and nothing will work out."

"They?" Shi Yu was a little puzzled. Could it be that Canshen knew the inhumans who had been to his convenience store before?

"that is……"

"What are you doing?" Su Mi yawned and walked over before Silkworm Myth was finished. Seeing Shiyu and Silkworm God standing in the courtyard, they didn't know what they were talking about, so they asked.

"It's nothing." Shi Yu didn't care too much, thinking that Xu was an inhuman thing he had met before and told Silkworm God, and when he saw Su Mi woke up, he asked Silkworm God, "When will it start?"

"Sishi, start from the river over there." Silkworm God pointed to the river not far away, "I still have some things to prepare, so I'll go back to the house first."

"En." Shi Yu nodded, feeling that it was still early after looking at the time, and felt a little hungry. Seeing Silkworm God slightly nodded to them and left, he wanted to find something to eat.

Just when Shi Yu was in a daze, something touched his lips.

"Open your mouth."

Shi Yu opened his mouth subconsciously, and stuffed something soft into his mouth.Bite down, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, but it will not feel too greasy.I felt as if I had the whole spring in my mouth.

"Baihua Tuanzi, I guess you didn't eat breakfast, so you went to get a few." Su Mi also threw one into her mouth, and then commented, "Tsk, it's much more delicious than Jumang's."

Shi Yu raised his head slightly, the fragrance of flowers in his mouth had not dissipated completely, Su Mi's hair should be tied up with the jade pendant rope again and looked neater.

A big lion... what is it?Unknowingly, they have been together for several months, tenant?friend?Or just a passing demon?It seems to be both, but neither seems to be quite right.

"What are you looking at?" Su Mi noticed Shi Yu's eyes, and stretched out his hand to stuff him with another flower dumpling, "I'll go get some more."

After finishing speaking, he hummed a little song and wobbled back to the backyard.

Shi Yu chewed the dumpling in his mouth, looked at Su Mi's back, somehow felt a little happy, it was sweet.

-

Just after the time passed, Silkworm God was already sitting in the red-roofed boat, and there were gradually more people and gods around, but King Ma Ming did not appear for a long time.

As the boat left the shore, there were some whispers around discussing how this year's Silkworm Flower Water would be different from previous years, it was not King Ma Ming who sent the Silkworm God across the river.

The boat traveled a lot, and it was almost time to get to the disembarkation place on the opposite continent, but King Ma Ming still didn't show up, Silkworm God was wearing a green robe and sitting in the red-topped sedan boat, his hands were tightly clutching his cuffs, his eyes couldn't help but be red.

When the boat docked, Silkworm held back his tears and walked off the boat.I accidentally staggered when I landed, I thought I would fall in embarrassment, but I didn't want to fall into an embrace.

"Feel sorry……"

Silkworm God raised his head in surprise, and seeing that very familiar face, tears fell down uncontrollably.Only then did she realize that she was so relieved to see this man again.

Silkworm God wanted to say something, but King Ma Ming gently covered her mouth with his hand.

"I owe you these words. Listen to me, please."

Silkworm God nodded.

"I was originally a war horse, and I was named a horse. I became an immortal because of my meritorious deeds. Later, I was punished to re-enter the human world for a round because of some mistakes. Father bought it and stayed at your house."

"I fell in love with you very early, but I know that you treat me like a horse, and I don't want to force you to be my wife. At that time, I thought, I can just watch you every day."

"Later your mother agreed to me. I was really happy. When I found your father, he was powerless, so I exchanged my half-spirit for your father."

"I'm half-spirited, and I just feel muddled. I just feel that I miss you very much and want to see you."

"Later, I was killed by your father, and I became an immortal again, but the half-spirit I lost couldn't come back. When I learned that you will have a catastrophe, I wanted to save you, but I didn't have enough mana."

"I heard what you said, and I think you probably don't hate me. I know that if you become a human god, you can avoid disasters, so I wrapped the remaining half-spirit on you."

"But after I lost my spirit, I was like a newly civilized animal. I only knew that I liked you and wanted to be with you, but I didn't know how to say or do it. That's why I followed you every day."

"I thought this would be good. It would be enough to see you. But that day, what you said made me clearer. I think what I want is not so. I want to talk to you and live with you. I Think you like me too."

"I've been searching around for the past few days. Your father has already entered reincarnation. I don't know where the half-spirit who saved him in that life has gone. Today I finally found it."

"For a hundred years, I have wronged you."

After Ma Ming finished speaking, he took a step back, looked into Silkworm's eyes and said:

"This is the way of the world in the spring river. Even if I travel thousands of miles, I will go to you, but I will stay with you for this last step. Whether you come or leave, I will respect you."

Silkworm God had long been weeping, took a step forward, and stretched out his arms to hug King Ma Ming:

"I never want you to leave again."

King Ma Ming hugged Silkworm God back, stretched out his hand to conjure up a white cloak, put it on Silkworm God, then leaned over and kissed him:

"My lady, this is a convenient gift for us."

On the shore of the oasis on the red sedan chair in the spring river, the newlyweds who have been waiting for a hundred years embrace each other.

-

Later, King Ma Ming summoned Ta Yun to send Shi Yu and Su Mi back.

"If you have a chance in the future, you can come to us." Silkworm God looked at Shiyu, "Thank you very much."

Shi Yu nodded, looking at the smiling silkworm snuggled up to King Ma Ming's side, he felt warm in his heart.

It was already night when Su Mi and Shi Yu returned to the convenience store, Su Mi frowned tightly after entering the room.

Shi Yu hurriedly looked at the flowers that Su Mi had given him before, and the flowers did not wither after half a month in the water.I went out for two days this time, and I don't know what happened.

"Did you put it here before?" Shi Yu searched around before seeing the flower on the table by the glass window. Usually Shi Yu puts flowers in the living room.

"What's wrong?" Su Mi came over.

"This flower...you put it here?" Shi Yu pointed to the potted flower.

A ruthless light flashed in Su Mi's eyes, but he returned to normal in just a moment, yawned and said:

"I want to bask in the sun."

Although the glass window of the convenience store is actually on the dark side, Shi Yu thought about it for a while and guessed that the big lion didn't know about it, so he wasn't suspicious.

"Good night." Shi Yu was also a little tired, and had to go back to sleep after finishing the flowers.

"En." Su Mi lay down on the carpet, pretending to be about to fall asleep.

After Shi Yu entered the room, Su Mi got up with narrowed eyes, went to the door and drew a few times in the air with a cigarette stick.

Several paper talismans flew out from every corner of the convenience store. Su Mi lit the fire and shook it a few times, and those paper talismans turned into ashes.

Su Mi leaned against the door, squinted her eyes, lit a cigarette, took a sip, and then slowly exhaled.

In the alley in the middle of the night, a small cloud of light smoke was left behind.

The field of Ou Si is in the east of Dajue, and a woman kneels to occupy the tree Ou Si. —— "Shan Hai Jing"

29. Sala cotton tree

More than half of April has passed, but somehow the temperature has been erratic. Shiyu, who had been wearing unlined clothes for the past two days, got up this morning and went out to place the stand sign of the convenience store, and then came back from the cold.

Just when she retreated into the room, Su Mi just came back with her breakfast.

"The pancake shop at the entrance of the alley didn't come out today." Su Mi put the things in his hand on the table, "I bought buns."

Shi Yu took a bite out of a bun from the lunch box, it was carrot meat, and put the bun back silently.

Su Mi washed her hands, came back and saw the bun with a small bite missing, grabbed it and ate it, and said vaguely:

"You're quite a picky eater. I'll cook an egg for you."

Just when Shiyu was debating whether to simply eat bread or let the big lion toss the eggs, there was a knock on the door of the convenience store.

"Shiyu, it's us." It was Tong Guo's voice.

Shi Yu's eyes lit up, and he got up to open the door.Tong Guo's nose moved:

"You have breakfast, don't need me to cook today."

When Shi Yu saw Tong Guo, he immediately said, "Do you want to cook?"

Tong Guo pouted:

"I knew that stupid lion would teach you badly. The house smells like meat buns. You must have eaten it. Don't lie to me. I will definitely not cook today."

Shi Yu lowered his head, and after letting Tong Guo and Bai Zigui in, he whispered:

"Carrots...don't like them."

Tong Guo was originally determined not to go into the kitchen today, but when she heard Shi Yu say that, it seemed that she had wronged someone blindly, and suddenly felt a little bit sorry.But I said just now that I would never enter the kitchen, and now I am a little bit embarrassed.

Tong Guo also entered the room with a bit of hesitation, and saw Su Mi who was still sitting there eating buns, so he went over and patted Su Mi on the head unceremoniously:

"It must be that you deliberately bullied Shi Yu and bought something he doesn't like."

After talking, Tong Guo went straight into the kitchen, without even asking where the ingredients were, took the eggs from the refrigerator, took out the flour from the cabinet, and started making batter.

Shi Yu also sat back at the table, although there was no change in expression, but a pair of eyes were staring at the kitchen.

Su Mi also ate the buns in his hand, leaned back, and looked at Baizigui who was sitting opposite:

"What are you doing today?"

"It's not a big deal," Bai Zigui sat up straight, "There was a sacred tree that sprouted in March and bloomed in April, but this year, why hasn't it sprouted new buds for so long."

"Then what's the use of you coming to us?" Su Mi lowered her head and lit a cigarette, "Don't you think we can make a dead tree bloom?"

"The two of you may be able to see more than us, but today's visit is not all because I want to invite you to see the reason why the sacred tree is not blooming," Bai Zigui looked at Shiyu, his voice lowered a little, " On weekdays, Tong Guo and I are surrounded by elders in the family. Especially Tong Guo, the family takes a fancy to him and puts more pressure on him."

"He loves to play by nature, but you should also know that he has a yin and yang eye and is somewhat separated from ordinary people. He has not had any close friends around him for so many years. I think he likes being with you very much. , so I also wanted to find an opportunity, so I treated it as an outing together."

"So if you have time, would you like to take a look with us?"

I have seen it several times, but it is the first time Shiyu has heard such a long string of words from Bai Zigui.

Shiyu's natural way can see inhuman things, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings when he contacts ordinary people. He is not used to contacting people, and he doesn't know what the so-called friendship feels like.But thinking about Tong Guo's character, if he said he has never had any friends, it would be really uncomfortable.

In the past, Shi Yu really didn't want to have too much contact with the demon extermination, let alone go for an outing together.But when did it start... Shi Yu actually felt that it seemed that when he came into contact with other people or things, he would have a different feeling in his heart.

Sometimes I feel a little lost and uncertain, but I often feel warm in my heart, as if I am looking forward to something.

So when Tong Guo came out with two plates of egg pancakes, he yelled and put them on the table:

"It's really troublesome to make egg pancakes. Here, this plate is sweet with sugar, and this plate is with chopped green onions."

Shi Yu pursed his lips and said:

"Then, shall we go together?"

"What?" Tong Guo muttered and smeared some honey on her omelet, but she didn't realize it for a while, and looked up at Shi Yu before saying in surprise, "You really want to go with us."

"En," Shi Yu responded, and took a bite of the scallion egg pancake, "It's delicious."

"Of course..." Tong Guo didn't know why he was suddenly flustered, and quickly stuffed two more mouthfuls of pancakes, "I knew that lazy lion would always give you something bad."

Su Mi on the side, exhaled smoke: "Tsk, half-baked."

"You...cough, cough, cough..." Tong Guo took a mouthful of biscuits angrily, and coughed uncontrollably.

Bai Zigui quickly hugged Tong Guo to his side, patted his back to comfort him, and coaxed him.

Although Su Mi clicked her tongue, she turned around and poured a glass of water for Tong Guo:

"It's really rare to have a temper like yours among the demon masters."

Tong Guo took a big gulp of water and said angrily:

"Sooner or later, I will get rid of you."

"Tsk, you should practice that bit of mana again." Seeing that Shiyu's plate was almost full, Su Mi got up and put away the plate, "Where are you going?"

"There used to be Tongwang County in Lizhou," Tong Guo rummaged through his pockets, took out a piece of paper and put it on the table, pointing to one of the places, "here."

After washing the dishes, Su Mi walked back to the table and took a look: "Sala cotton tree?"

"Well," Bai Zigui also nodded, "We are also entrusted by others."

"You opened the magic circle?" Su Mi looked at Baizigui.

"Well, I'll drive the magic circle to take you there."

Shi Yu asked curiously:

"Exorcist can also teleport?"

"It's not considered teleportation," Bai Zigui explained, "We've been there before, and a magic circle has been set up there, so that we can move between two points. And the number of times in a day can't be too much." many."

"You can probably understand it as... two-way calling..."

Shi Yu nodded with a vague understanding, always finding it incredible that human beings can do these things.

"The main reason is that Baizigui is very powerful," Tong Guo said proudly, "As far as I know, only Baizigui and a famous senior can make this magic circle."

"Then what do you know?" Shi Yu tilted his head.

"I... I just don't bother to learn these things." Tong Guo looked at Shi Yu's harmless and even trusting eyes for a while, and couldn't say that he had been lazy and didn't know such high-end spells.

"En." Shi Yu didn't ask further, but nodded as if agreeing.

Su Mi took a coat and put it on Shi Yu's body:

"Let's go."

Bai Zigui took out a stack of talismans from his pocket, and swiped his index finger in the air a few times. Those talismans scattered around them and fell to the ground to form a Yin-Yang array.

After Baizi put down his hands, the magic circle lit up, and when he opened his eyes again, Shi Yu found that he had already arrived in the backyard of a house.

Several people walked through the backyard to the main hall, and saw that the house looked like a place where monks lived, and there was also a Heavenly King Hall in the main courtyard.There is a cypress tree in front of the hall, and there is a large pool under the tree.And Chi Nan is the so-called ancient sacred tree.

In fact, Shiyu couldn't name several kinds of trees, and always felt that they all looked the same.But although this tree has no leaves and no flowers, just looking at the branches gives people a subtle sense of awe.

The trunk is so thick that three or four people may not be able to embrace it. Some of the roots are half exposed on the ground, criss-crossing and even spreading to the outside of the courtyard. Although the branches have scars from wind and rain, they do not feel embarrassed and old at all. They just feel tolerant The generosity of all things.

Shi Yu actually felt a sense of kindness in his heart, so he stepped forward and stretched out a hand to caress the tree trunk.

However, the moment he touched the tree trunk, a voice sounded in his mind:

"It's finally here..."

Shi Yu was taken aback, and quickly withdrew his hand.

Tong Guo was squatting by the pool, Bai Zigui was sorting out the rest of the charms and didn't notice Shi Yu's movement, Su Mi stood behind Shi Yu and asked softly:

"what happened?"

Shi Yu shook his head, thinking that Xu had heard wrong just now.

"Shiyu, Shiyu," Tong Guo stood by the pool, turned his head and waved to Shiyu, "Come and see."

Shi Yu looked at the tree and hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Tong Guo, while Su Mi looked at the sala cotton tree thoughtfully, then lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

"There are still fish in this pool," Tong Guo excitedly pointed at the pool, "This color is really rare."

"I heard that the living things in places like this are more or less spiritual, maybe they are fairy things. Hey, do you want to make a wish or something?"

The fish in the pool are magnolia-colored, and there is a red spot like cinnabar in the middle of the fish head.

Shi Yu squatted next to Tong Guo, looked into the bottomless pool water with his head, and nodded:

"It looks very tasty."

Tong Guo: "..."

Seeing the wonderful expression on Tong Guo's face, Shi Yu instantly felt a little happy, so he turned his head to look at the fish in the pond, raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and said:

"Kidding."

Tong Guo froze for a moment, he always felt that Shi Yu was the kind of unsmiling and a bit repulsive, but maybe because he was of the same age and could see those inhuman things, Tong Guo always felt a little close to Shi Yu.

Today, he originally thought that Shi Yu would not agree to come here with them, but now he saw that Shi Yu was also joking, which was really surprising.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Tong Guo staring at him blankly, Shi Yu asked.

"I thought you wouldn't talk much."

Shi Yu can't tell what it feels like, but he always feels that his life now has a sense of real existence, which is probably——

"I'm human too."

Even though he has never experienced family affection, understands the ways of the world, and does not understand what love is, but he is really a human being.Maybe these things...he will have them one day.

"To be honest, if I didn't see you at the first time, if Baizigui didn't test you, I really felt that you were not a human being." Tong Guo turned around and sat on the platform built by the pool, "How could anyone look at you?" It’s so empty, as if nothing can be seen.”

"Although I grew up in the Tong family's old house since I was a child, I have always been trained as the successor of the Tong family. Later, something happened, and I entered the Bai family."

"I had little contact with those so-called ordinary people since I was a child, but even so, when I started taking jobs later, I could see almost everyone. You should also know that the richer and more powerful they are, the more I'm afraid that these monsters and ghosts are always thinking about getting something more."

"However, I wouldn't say that humans are scarier than demons. To me, humans are humans, and demons are demons. Demons can be killed or eliminated, but humans cannot."

"People who have opened their yin and yang eyes either have suffered a lot and really see through all kinds of things in the world, or like me, they are probably rewarded by God for food. Since they have it, of course they should make good use of it."

"It's really the first time I've seen you like this. You can clearly see these things, and you don't need to hide them. It's as if...you don't really care about this matter."

"But I always feel that seeing you this time is different."

"What's the difference?" Shi Yu was also sitting on the table, subconsciously glanced at Su Mi who was standing under the tree, blowing smoke rings.

"I can't tell," Tong Guo gestured, pointing at Shi Yu's eyes, "I feel like there's room for other things here."

"I always feel that you are a person living in the world, the kind of person who wants to eat when hungry and sleep when tired."

"I have to eat and sleep all the time."

"Anyway, it's different..." Tong Guo pursed his lips, braced himself, and jumped up, "Anyway, you're doing well, but it's a pity that you don't come to be an exorcist."

Shi Yu felt a little trembling in his heart. At such a big age, most of the people around him commented on him as being out of gregarious, a little withdrawn, introverted, and indifferent. Even he himself felt that this seemed not good, but Tong Guo said that he was very good like this of.

Where's the good news?

Shi Yu wanted to ask, but saw that Tong Guo had already run to Bai Zigui's side, looking up, as if talking about something, Bai Zigui took out something, Tong Guo looked very happy after taking it, and then Wave to him.

Shi Yu walked towards Tong Guo, Su Mi also swayed back to the position two or three steps behind him at some point and walked with him naturally.

Is it good?

It seems that it is really good...

30. Sala cotton tree

Shi Yu never thought that Baizigui would bring flying chess with him, so the originally planned outing turned into four people sitting under the sala cotton tree and playing flying chess.

"You must be cheating secretly!" After losing all three rounds, Tong Guo looked at Su Mi, who was clearly unconcerned but always came first.

"It's no good for me to win, so I don't bother to cheat." Su Mi lit a cigarette and lay on his side on the morning floor.

Shi Yu nodded in agreement, the big lion is so lazy, he will definitely not cheat.

Tong Guo looked at the chessboard where she was always at the bottom, and pursed her mouth in frustration:

"Don't play anymore, Bai Zigui and I have to do business."

After talking about pulling Baizi back, he went back to the house in Zhangyuan to search for records related to the Sala cotton tree.

The afternoon sun is still very good, basking in people's warmth, and the April wind no longer feels harsh, curling up a little lazily and caressing the cheeks makes people feel sleepy.

From time to time, Tongguo's chirping sound could be heard in the camphor courtyard, and the pool in the courtyard was glowing with phosphorescence. Occasionally, a fish floated up and flicked its tail, causing a little splash of water, but soon the ripples disappeared.

Shi Yu leaned sleepily on the trunk of the salamander tree, already half asleep, Su Mi took off his outer robe and put it on him, Shi Yu felt warmer and softer, and fell asleep completely.

"You're here, you're here..."

Shi Yu heard that voice again in his sleep, and woke up suddenly. The surrounding scenery obviously didn't change, but it made Shi Yu feel very strange.

He stood up and looked around, but he didn't see the three people.

"Pfft."

A little sound came from the camphor courtyard, and Shi Yu walked into the courtyard.

The courtyard is still quiet, the sound just now may have been made by a fish jumping into the water, and the small splash has not completely dissipated.

Just when Shi Yu was about to call Su Mi, the voice that just appeared in the dream came from behind:

"Is that you..."

Shi Yu turned around and saw a white-haired old man with silver hair and a white beard, wearing a bluish-colored robe, leaning on a cane, the folds on his face were piled up so that he couldn't see his eyes, and his steps were insignificant. Staggering, walking like a stone island step by step on crutches.

When he got closer, the old man stood in front of Shi Yu and looked at it for a long time before he lowered his head and sighed softly:

"No... Sure enough... Sure enough..."

The old man sat by the pool and tapped the water surface with his fingertips, and the magnolia-colored cinnabar-dotted fish in the water swam one after another, circling around the old man's fingers, flapping their tails.

"Who are you?" Shi Yu guessed that the old man in front of him was probably not a human being, and he should have brought him here. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Me," the old man slowly raised his head to look at Shiyu, "I'm just an old tree demon."

Shi Yu pointed to the Sala cotton tree outside the courtyard:

"Were you originally that divine tree?"

The old man turned his head to look in the direction Shi Yu pointed, and then the wrinkles on his face got deeper. The old man smiled and said:

"What kind of sacred tree? I'm just an inferior demon, but I never wanted to be a fairy."

Shi Yu sat next to the old man and looked at the fish in the pond. He obviously didn't know where he was, but he didn't feel uneasy in his heart. He probably felt that the old man who called himself a demon would not hurt anyone.

"Are you looking for someone?" Shi Yu asked, thinking of the old man's words he had heard in his mind before.

"I'm waiting for someone," the old man's fingers slightly lifted from the water, "Your aura matches this place, so I thought it was him who came back. But since he came, it's also fate, would you like to talk to me, an old demon?"

Shi Yu nodded.

The old man's hand swiped across the water surface at an inch height, the water surface was gradually covered with mist, and then a completely different scene appeared in the pool.

A man appeared in the water, wearing cassock, with a cinnabar point between his brows, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was reciting scriptures.

"Do you know whose residence this is?"

Shi Yu shook his head.

"In the past, there was a monk here, who named himself Rouchi, and he was the man in the water." The old man seemed to be thinking of something happy, and smiled, "Obviously he was a monk, but he was better-looking than those secular people. There are also many girls who came to watch him secretly under the pretext of praying."

"Turns, trees, and tree trunks are no better than those living creatures. I have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth for a hundred years, and during times of war, many dead people were buried under the trees. I absorbed their souls that have not yet dissipated. Only then did I transform into a demon. "

"When the camphor courtyard was built, I originally wanted to use some methods to drive people away. After all, I am a tree that cannot be moved away. If someone lives next to me for a long time, it will be quite troublesome."

"But when he came to me in a monk's robe, caressed my trunk, closed his eyes and said softly: 'I know you are a demon, if one day you wish to enter reincarnation, I can cross you, I came here only to It's clean and won't disturb you'."

"I've heard too many voices in the world, pain, death, joy, desire, but this is the first time I've heard him. It's quiet and clear, just like that pool of water."

"Speaking of which, he is also a strange person. As a monk, he doesn't hate monsters and ghosts. He often brings some little monsters into his courtyard, and he doesn't bother to talk about those stubborn things. In fact, he can obviously accept them directly. Forcibly transport them into reincarnation or break up their form, let them disappear in this world."

"But he never did that. He just told them the truths that only you understand."

As he said that, the scene on the water changed again. The monk just now was sitting in the courtyard with rosary beads, surrounded by some inhuman things.

"He saves people, things, demons, and ghosts. At that time, it was a hundred miles away, and the camphor courtyard became the favorite place for those monsters to gather."

"Some little monsters are just curious and want to come and see him. The chatter outside the courtyard makes me feel annoyed. He is so pure and alone but never gets annoyed. He just sits on his knees in front of the Buddha statue and beats the wooden fish."

"Although I was the one who spent the longest time looking at him every day, but in the first few years, I really didn't have any conversations with him."

"Maybe it's because I was originally a tree, and I don't like to talk too much even if I transform into a demon. In the end, he is just a monk, so what if I have a close relationship with him, so I have never stepped into his yard in human form."

"But one day, he went out early in the morning and didn't come back until evening. I saw him from a distance. His monk's robe was torn in several places, and there were bloodstains on his face. He stumbled into the house."

"For some reason, I always felt a little uneasy. When it was dark, I turned into a human figure and quietly stepped into his yard. I wanted to sneak a peek outside his house and leave, but I didn't want to be in the porch of his backyard." I saw him."

"He turned his head and saw me, with no surprise on his face, and with a slight smile, he said, 'You're here.'"

"That was the first time I transformed in front of him, and I don't know how he recognized me, but when he said 'you are here', when I think about it now, I feel like Luoxue cooking wine to take care of an old friend, Extraordinarily clear."

"That night he didn't wear a monk's robe, he was only dressed in white, and the cinnabar between his eyebrows was even more scorching, and it was also this April day, when the wind passed by, the hem of his clothes was slightly blown, and the sandalwood in the room also sank a little. point."

"I looked into his arms, and he hugged a little demon fox. The little thing also has some injuries, but it has been wrapped up, but the bald tail is a bit conspicuous."

"Before I asked, he asked me to sit beside him."

"After I sat down, he put the little fox into my arms, took a can of medicine from his side, and wiped it on his face a few times."

"'The mother of the little demon fox was eaten by the big demon, so I brought it back.' He stretched out his hand and stroked the sleeping little demon fox's back fur a few times."

"I saw that he really didn't have any disgust for monsters in his eyes, so I couldn't hold back and asked him why he still cared about these monsters even though he was a monk."

"He chuckled and asked back: 'You are a demon, if a traveler rests under your shade, will you drive him away?'"

"I said, if it's just a passer-by, of course not."

"'That's it. As a monk, I want to be compassionate to the world. It doesn't matter whether it's a human or a demon. All living beings are hard to do. If I can help them, it will also fulfill my cultivation. '"

"'There are good demons and ghosts who think about people, and there must be someone to save them. I'm just lucky enough to do it.'"

"That night, he just smiled like that. I thought he was a weird person and a rebellious monk, but I also thought he was the best person I have ever met. He probably has all the kindness in this world."

"After that, I often turned into a human form and went to sit in his courtyard."

"It's very noisy in his place sometimes, he is busy saving those demons, and those little demons who are injured and ask him for protection always surround him. I stand outside the noise and watch him."

"He was never impatient, and always whispered the rosary to appease everything."

"But sometimes it's as quiet as dust. He stands in the courtyard, looking up slightly, I don't know what to look at. I'm right behind him, quietly watching the pool in the courtyard, and him reflected in the water."

"Just wait for him to look away, look sideways at me slightly, and ask me with a light smile, 'Would you like some tea?'"

"He boiled water and made tea for me. When I raised and lowered my hands, I saw light cinnabar patterns on his wrists."

"I asked him what it was."

"He raised his wrist, gently stroked the cinnabar pattern with the other hand, lowered his head, and said softly, 'This is destiny.'"

"I don't understand what he meant. I just sipped my tea and secretly looked at his slightly downcast eyes. For some reason, I always felt that there was something different in his eyes than before."

"Once he was injured by an evil demon. Seeing that his breath was weak, I wanted to give him some of my demon power, but I didn't expect him to refuse to accept it no matter what, and drove me out of his house."

"At that time, I thought that he would look down on us monsters after all, because even my monster power would be regarded as filthy and refused to accept."

"Actually, as far as I'm concerned, he didn't accept it, which just saved me from spending my demon power. But when I think of him refusing my help, I feel depressed."

"After a few days, his body gradually recovered. He sat under the shade of my tree, gently stroking my trunk, and his voice seemed to be a little soft, 'Are you angry?'"

"I don't want to talk to him, I didn't take human form and didn't speak."

"'It's not that I don't want your help, it's just that my fate is beyond redemption.'"

"That seemed to be the second time he mentioned his fate. Although I still felt a little resentful, I shook the branch and asked him what his fate was."

"He closed his eyes slightly, leaned against my tree trunk, stroked my exposed rhizome with his hands, and said softly, 'All living beings are suffering, and all directions are universal, so I can change it.'
