There are always monsters coming to eat

"

"'I put the world of mortals and wished to enter the Buddha's way. I can read the world, but I can't read the confusion of my own mind. This is my destiny, so I can't save it.'"

"Actually, I still didn't understand his words very well at that time, but his palms were gentle, and I knew he really didn't underestimate me. So I turned into a human form and sat beside him."

"He saw me take shape, and smiled a little, but didn't say any more, just leaned against the tree trunk and seemed to fall asleep."

"When he opened his eyes again and was about to leave, he said to me with prayer beads in his hand, 'If one day I am going, how about you save me?'"

"I thought he was joking, I'm just a monster, how can I save people. But he smiled and left."

"Seeing the back of him leaving that day, I can't tell the reason, but I suddenly feel a little flustered."

"But after that day, he still saves demons and ghosts, even some distant ghosts and ghosts will trek here, just begging him to save them into a reincarnation."

"Speaking of which, if he hadn't been a vegetarian, I think he should be an elegant traveler. In spring, he twirls flowers and sniffs lightly. In summer, he sits in front of the white corridor. In autumn, he makes two or three sticks of incense. Tea."

"I have given him the flowers that bloom among my branches and leaves, seen his soft words and smiles in the summer evening breeze, smelled his agarwood and drank his tea. I think, I must be the closest demon to him, But I feel that I can only be a demon forever."

"I know that human life is short, but I think there are at least four to fifty years, which is enough."

"But I never thought that he would really go before I saw his aging state."

"One night he came under my branches and leaves. He didn't wear a monk's robe, but only a white robe around his body. He stepped barefoot in the grass and soil, and rested his forehead on my tree trunk."

"I turned into a human form in a strange way, and pressed against his forehead. I thought he would be angry, because although I have seen ghosts and ghosts around him in the past ten years, he has never had any contact with anything else."

"But he still smiled lightly, and even reached out and stroked my face lightly."

"I saw that his eyes were like everything in the world, although it was extremely gentle, it also contained a lot of majesty."

"After a long while, he withdrew his hand and said softly, 'I am dying, this last journey, can you save me?'"

"I was stunned. What he said before was really just a joke, but I didn't want him to mention it again."

"He was surprised when he saw me. He just stretched out his arm, and the cinnabar pattern on it was completely gone."

"'I'm neither an eminent monk nor an immortal, so I can't save these ghosts. I saved people by my life. This cinnabar pattern is my life. When the cinnabar is clean, I should go too.'"

"I don't know what to say, I just feel extremely uncomfortable in my heart. I don't understand why he wants to save these monsters with his life. If he is just an ordinary monk, he can die in peace."

"I have a lot to ask, but all I can say is, 'At first you said you would save me one day.'"

"He froze for a moment, but quickly returned to his smile. He said, 'I owe you. If there is a next life, I will save you.'"

"I felt very uncomfortable, but I couldn't say anything when I saw him smiling calmly."

"Finally he put a scripture in my hand, sat down with his back against my tree trunk, held the string of beads in his hand, closed his eyes gently, and said softly, 'Read it to me.'"

"I know that after I read it, he will disappear. I don't want him to disappear, but I know that only in this way can he enter reincarnation properly."

"So I started reciting those scriptures. I just recited slowly and slowly, but even if I recited slowly, there will be an end."

"After I finished reading the last word, I saw light around him. He opened his eyes, smiled at the corners of his mouth, said 'thank you' softly, and disappeared."

After the old man finished speaking, the picture of the pool water also stayed under the stars, and a sala cotton tree guarded the camphor courtyard that no longer had an owner.

"I don't even remember how long I've been waiting, maybe I won't be able to wait." The old man lowered his head slightly, "My old demon's life should be over."

The old man withdrew his hand from the pool, and Shi Yu saw that the old man's fingertips became transparent.

"You..." Shi Yu wanted to say something, but when he realized it, he kept silent, just like what the old man said, his life might be doomed.

"Before my old demon leaves, I can still see a fairy, which is considered complete." The old man looked at Shiyu, "Would you like to give me a ride?"

"I'm not a fairy..."

"Those who can enter here must not be vulgar things."

"I'm just visible and writing non-human things, I'm just an ordinary person."

"A mortal..." The old man squinted his eyes, looked up and down Shiyu with some difficulty, and then smiled, "That's all, I, an old demon, can't see anything. Just don't forget who you are. "

"Why don't you cultivate immortality..." Shi Yu thought that if the sala cotton tree became immortal, it might be able to live for a long time.

"What do I cultivate immortals for?" the old man smiled, "I have just waited for him to save me for hundreds of years."

The old man took out a piece of paper, put it in Shiyu's hand, and sat on the cattail mat in front of the Buddha statue:

"It's time for me to go, so you can give me a ride."

Shi Yu looked at the old man sitting cross-legged on the mat, pursed his lips, and was about to speak when he heard the sound of water in the pool behind him, like a fish jumping up, and then Shi Yu felt a weight on his body, and a voice came Sounded in his head:

"Sorry, can you lend me your body, I have come to save him as promised."

31. Sala cotton tree

Before Shi Yu could react, he uttered those scriptures automatically, and the body of the old man sitting on the mat became more and more transparent, but his appearance became younger and younger.

In the end, the person sitting on the cattail mat had completely turned into a young man, with a grass-green robe added to his body, a totem-like pattern of branches and leaves on his neck, and a branch-like horn growing out of his left ear.

As the scriptures came to an end, the man's body was almost completely transparent. At the last moment when he was about to disappear, the pair of eyes opened, and there was some nostalgia in the brown pupils. There was no trembling or fear in the voice, and it was soft and soft like a spring breeze. road:

"You're here..."

Then it turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the air.

And Shi Yu's body suddenly lightened, and many scenes began to flash through his mind.

In that life, he was born in the flames of war, and the rebels killed and killed all the children, women and children. His mother died under the sword of the rebels in order to protect him, and he came through the back door. I ran out, and I don't know how long I ran to come under a tree.

Seeing that the rebels were about to catch up behind him, but he was too young to climb the tree at all. Just when he was terrified that he would die there, he suddenly felt his body was surrounded, and he was pulled back to the tree. And the branches and leaves of the tree seemed to be alive to hide him.

The rebels came after them, searched for a long time but left without seeing anyone.

After the rebels were completely out of sight, the branches wrapped around his waist again, and he was slowly put back on the ground.

He stood under the tree, the wind blew, and the leaves rustled. He stretched out his arms to hug the trunk, and even wanted to shake it vigorously, but he didn't see any reaction from the tree.It was as if what happened just now was just like a dream.

"Did you save me?"

The tree said nothing.

"Thank you."

The branches and leaves are silent.

He was lying under the tree, his father and mother were already dead by the sword, the village was probably set on fire, and he even forgot to cry when he was still young, he just felt that there was no one to rely on.

I don't know when he fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he seemed to see a little light. When he got closer, he saw a boy in a grass-green jacket.The boy sat there with his eyes closed, and he walked over cautiously. He spoke to him a few times but did not see any reaction from the boy.

He was so tired that he fell asleep leaning against the boy, as if he could seek some warmth in this way.When he was half asleep and half awake, he felt someone gently hugging him, warm and gentle.

When he woke up, he found that he was sleeping on the roots of the tree exposed to the ground, and there was a layer of leaves on his body.

He knew that he would not be able to survive if he stayed here, so he hugged the tree trunk again, pressed his forehead against it, and said softly:

"I'll be back, remember me."

He walked for a long time, and finally passed out from hunger in front of a temple.When I woke up, I found that I was lying on the bed, and there was an old monk in cassock beside me.

"You have the fate of Buddha in your face. If you are willing to let go of the world of mortals and enter my Buddhist gate, you will be able to cultivate yourself. Would you like to let the old man touch the bones for you?"

He nodded half understanding, the old monk took his arm, opened his palm, closed his eyes, and then frowned:

"Your life was already exhausted in the flames of war, how could you be here?"

He thought for a while, and opened his mouth to tell about the tree. The old monk sighed, took him into the courtyard, and took the cinnabar pen:

"Your fate has been changed. Although you don't know it, you are saved by a monster and cannot enter reincarnation. The old man thinks that you have some kind of Buddha's fate, and I will imprint it on you. I will exchange 99 crossings for you."

After saying that, the old monk used cinnabar to draw lines on his arm, and added a charm to make the cinnabar penetrate into his skin and bones:

"I can extend your lifespan for 40 years, and you can use these 40 years to cross 99 demons and ghosts. When this seal disappears, your merits and virtues will be complete and you can enter reincarnation."

The old monk tapped his brow again with the tip of a pen:

"This is for your own use."

"But you must remember that the only way to save your demon tree is that you cannot cross it. He will change your life. You and him will eventually have a way that cannot enter this cycle of reincarnation. If you have to go against the sky, you will both perish."

After that, the old monk kept him in the monastery, taught him how to cross the body, and named him "Meat Teeth".

Until he was 20 years old, the old monk gave him a new robe:

"Everything in the future is your own fate."

"Just remember, don't cross the demon that changes your fate."

Although he agreed, the old monk didn't know that he had secretly read some books hidden by the old monk during the past ten years.He knew that the old monk had only said half of what he said back then——

The little cinnabar between the eyebrows can cross oneself, but it can also cross things that change one's life.One person enters reincarnation, and one person does not come back to life.

So he went back to that place and built the camphor courtyard, in order to cross the 99 ghosts in this world, as for the last crossing——

"If one day you are willing to enter reincarnation, I will save you."

After a ten-year absence, he stroked the tree trunk again and said so.

-

He spent three years in the camphor courtyard, and the tree had been standing outside the courtyard. During the daytime, when he went out or came back, he always passed under the shade of the tree, but he never saw each other again.

Only at night, he would stand in his house, watching the moonlight shining through the window, and he would always think of the dream-like scene in his childhood - the little boy in green robe lowered his eyes and embraced him with branches and leaves.I don't know what that tree demon looks like now.

Once, when he went out, he came across an evil demon that was devouring the little demon. He was also injured when he sealed the evil demon and expelled it. After the evil demon disappeared, he found that there was a little demon fox not far away. He wanted the evil demon to eat it. is its mother.He recalled the scene of war when he was a child, so he took the little demon fox back.

That night, sitting in the backyard porch to bandage the wound of the little demon fox, he felt someone behind him. He turned his head, and with just one glance, he knew it must be the tree demon.

The color of that demon's long robe is just like the color of his branches and leaves at this season, his eyes are as brown as the branches, and his appearance is no longer that of a child.

"You're here." He smiled, rolled his eyes, and said to the demon, as naturally as an old friend whom he met every day.

He put the injured fox into the tree demon's arms, and for a moment, it seemed as if he had returned to the beginning, and those hands had wrapped himself in his arms like this.

He has also seen many monsters in this world, some are good and some are evil, some are infatuated and some are cold. It's revealed, but it really isn't.

That night, the spring breeze was clear and intoxicating, and it only turned into a piece of pure land in the eyes.

After that, the tree demon would often turn into a human and come to sit in his courtyard, and he could see the green robe in the courtyard reflecting three points of water with just a slight glance.

For more than ten years like this, he never said anything about what happened back then, and the tree demon didn't show much affection. Xu said that for grass and trees, the world always grows, and love is slow.

He boiled water to add tea for the two of them, showing half-shallow cinnabar lines between his hands. The dryad asked him what it was, and he looked at it, smiled and said that it was his fate.He knew that he would not be able to escape the destiny, but he never felt panic. The camphor courtyard and Salamian were all in his eyes, so there was no need to panic.

But when he was injured that time, he really panicked.He knew that his life would be empty, and if someone came at this time, he would probably spend all his life.Seeing the tree demon coming in a hurry, he blocked him from the door without hesitation. He knew that the tree demon had finally left, but he couldn't help himself in grief.

Later, when he went under the Sala cotton tree, he really wanted to give the tree demon a good hug.He can see and understand how these sentient beings are and what the world is like, and his fate is also known early on. He thought that he was just thinking of the kindness at that time, and accompanied him in exchange for friends.

But my heart can't get rid of the world of mortals, maybe it's really hopeless.He crosses all sentient beings just to exchange for a private relationship.

Spring flowers, summer heat, autumn maple leaves, winter furnaces, and more than [-] years in the world, he is already middle-aged, with gray hair on his temples, and he hides them all one by one.

40 years is long and long, and Duhua 99 is already a consummation of merit and virtue, but short is too short.

He knew that his fate was approaching, and that night he pressed his forehead against the tree trunk, but he didn't expect that the tree demon would also touch him.For more than forty years, the skin is similar, although it is only for a moment, it is enough to make him obsessed with each other regardless of infatuation.

What he gave the tree demon was not the scriptures of transformation, but a spell that could be forcibly turned into a half-demon and left in the world.But a half-demon cannot transform into form, nor can it be cultivated. There is nothing else but a long and endless lifespan and wordless loneliness.

When the spell was about to complete, he opened his mouth to say thank you.

Thank you for saving my life when I was a child, thank you for being with me every day, thank you for your kindness, if I can cross 99 demons and ghosts in this world, I can surely cross you too.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become a fish in a pond.Mulan is the color, and the center of the brow is a little red.

The camphor courtyard gradually became empty, and the name of the meat-toothed monk was gradually forgotten, but the sala cotton tree kept coming and going, and the tree demon was living in the courtyard.

Although it cannot be said or approached, it is good to see each other every day.

The color of the tree demon's robe was getting darker, white hair appeared on his temples, and there were more wrinkles, all of which he noticed.

After a hundred years, the Dryad is getting old, and he knows that the time is coming.It was Shi Yu who broke in and possessed Shi Yu——

I have come to ferry you as promised.

It will disappear in the next life, and my obsession will never stay in this world.

-

Finally, Shi Yu's mind reflected a monk in cassock and cassock, with narrow eyes and shallow eyebrows, cinnabar on his forehead, and a white flower biting between his lips. When the monk opened his eyes, the cinnabar on his forehead seemed to be blown away by the wind, and then everything all gone.

Shi Yu opened his eyes and found that he was lying under the Sala cotton tree, Su Mi's robe was still on him, as if he was just dreaming.

But suddenly Tong Guo's voice came:

"Look, look, it's blooming."

A tree with white flowers, the stamens are cotton.

"It's not yet time to bloom..." Tong Guo murmured to himself with some doubts while flipping through the records.

Before Tongguo's speech fell, the flowers on the tree circled and fell one after another, without any separation of petals, and each and every one of them fell to the ground like a spring flower rain.

Then the sala cotton tree withered and withered all of a sudden, and in a blink of an eye, it appeared faintly, and such a thick tree disappeared.

Tong Guo stood aside dumbfounded:

"I'm going... what happened?"

"He's reincarnated," Shi Yu squatted down, and stretched out his hand to caress the soil where the Sala cotton tree used to grow. "It's good to have someone to accompany you for hundreds of years."

Tong Guo stood aside completely unaware of what happened, and just wanted to go up to ask what happened to Shi Yu just now but was pulled back by Bai Zigui.

Bai Zigui took a step forward, walked in front of Shiyu, bowed slightly and nodded:

"You probably entered the realm created by the tree demon just now. I invited you to come with me this time, except for the reason I said in the morning. I was also asked by my elders."

"Although everything in the world is different, if there are similarities, then they are similar. Even Su Mi couldn't enter the realm created by the tree demon, but you entered. Now it seems that you may be the person my elders are looking for. Can you go somewhere with me?"

Shi Yu looked at Baizigui with some doubts. Although he didn't know what the elder he said wanted him, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, before Shi Yu could speak, Su Mi blocked his way:

"I thought I had given you a warning, but now it seems that you Baijia people still don't give up."

"Su Mi, you know..."

"Of course I know more than you mortals, but in this life, he is Shi Yu, and he will no longer be the person you are looking for."

After saying that, Su Mi exhaled the smoke, and lit the smoke stick three times in the air, and the smoke suddenly rose up, and there was nothing to see again.

Amidst the smoke, Shi Yu felt himself being embraced by someone, and the man whispered in his ear:

"Come on, go home."

32. Small bird

When the smoke dissipated, Shi Yu found himself back in the convenience store.

Su Mi's expression was natural, as if nothing had happened just now, after messing with the formation left by Bai Zigui in the house with his feet a few times, he stood aside and lit a cigarette.

Shi Yu pursed her lips, Su Mi must have brought him back just now, but wasn't Su Mi's demon power sealed...

He looked at Su Mi hesitantly, obviously he had a lot to ask, but he couldn't ask.He knew that Su Mi must have something to hide from him, but for some reason, he secretly didn't want to know the answer, he just thought it was good as it is now.

"I kind of miss that little thing." Su Mi glanced away, "It seems that I haven't been to Zou Wu's house since I came here."

Shi Yu probably guessed what Su Mi meant. The two of them stayed here, and Bai Zigui would definitely come to find them. Even if they could block the door, it would be troublesome for people around to see them, so Shi Yu nodded and said:

"Well, let's go then."

Su Mi flicked her tail and watched Shi Yu write a note - "I'm going out on business, business is closed" and taped it to the glass window, and then I went back to the living room after loading some snacks from the shelves.

"You don't have to leave?" Shi Yu slightly raised his head to look at Su Mi.

Su Mi was stunned for a moment, originally he was still thinking about how to explain that he could bring Shi Yu back, but when he heard Shi Yu say that, his heart warmed up, this little guy believed in him.

So Su Mi drew the smoke with his hands, and walked around the two of them, and then the smoke was everywhere, and the others could not be seen clearly.Shi Yu subconsciously closed her eyes, and before she could open them again, she heard a somewhat rough scream——

"what--!"

Su Mi clicked her tongue, and easily sealed the mouth of Zou Wu who was half changing.

Shi Yu looked at the surrounding rooms, and Zou Wu, who was only wearing underwear, whose voice stopped abruptly and tried to cover himself with clothes, felt a little happy for some reason. It seemed convenient that the big lion's demon power was not blocked.

Seeing that it was Shi Yu and Su Mi, Xie ran over briskly and leaned on Shi Yu.Shi Yu picked it up and gave it a ham sausage from his bag.

Zou Wu had just undid the spell on his mouth, and before he had time to say anything, there was a knock on the door.

"Awu, what's wrong?"

Zou Wu hurriedly ran to the gate and opened it slightly:

"My friend came to see me, just for fun."

"Friend? Why haven't I seen you mention it before." The people outside the door deliberately looked in, but because Zouwu only opened the door, people outside only saw half of Shiyu holding Xun body.

"A friend I met a long time ago, I'm a little excited after a long time no see."

"Oh, then have fun, and call me if you have anything to do."

After Zou Wu closed the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Su Mi:

"You don't tell me, and, can't you walk in through the gate?"

"That was your neighbor just now?" Su Mi completely ignored Zou Wu's words, and sat on the carpet by herself.

"Well, the rhubarb that I hung out with before is a policeman. I'm so lucky to live next door to him. It feels super safe and I don't worry about bad guys~" When talking about rhubarb, Zou Wu looked excited and forgot My home is now being "broken into".

"Tsk, no mortal can harm you." Su Mi looked at Zou Wu's size.

"Ah~ You're so annoying," Zou Wu said with a drawn-out tone that could almost be called coquettish, "The human world is very dangerous, and I'm still a child."

"Old monster." Su Mi mercilessly hit Zou Wu's big girlish heart.

Sitting at the side, Shi Yu saw Zou Wu and Su Mi bickering, couldn't help laughing, lowered his head slightly, buried his face in Xun's little clothes, and smiled brightly with his eyes.

Zou Wu was taken aback when he saw Shi Yu's action and the way he laughed, and then rushed forward shouting:

"Little Shiyu looks so pretty when she smiles~"

Shi Yu saw Zou Wu rushing towards him, and subconsciously hid behind Su Mi. Su Mi also raised his hand and threw the large girl to the corner, then lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Shi Yu also sat back on the cushion from behind Su Mi, hugged Xun and continued to feed the ham sausage.

Zou Wu who was thrown aside: "..." Whose house is this?

-

As usual, Zou Wu cooks dinner.

"Xiaoshiyu, I heard that last time you went out to play with Jumang, the mountain flowers look good."

"En," Shi Yu swallowed the sweet and sour pork ribs, "very beautiful."

"The last time I turned into a prototype to go on a night tour was several years ago," Zou Wu sighed a little regretfully, "Maybe it's because I've been in the human world for a long time. I used to think it was normal to be alone, but Now I always feel that there is something missing when I go on a night tour alone.”

"Then let's go together next time." Shi Yu sandwiched another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.

Zou Wu is a bit incredulous:

"Are you inviting me~"

Shi Yu nodded. Although Zou Wu talked a lot and was not used to it at first, he found it very interesting to get along with him.

"My God~" Zou Wu exaggeratedly covered his heart, "Little Shiyu actually regards me as a friend."

Shi Yu froze for a moment, then said uncertainly:

"friend?"

"That's right, isn't it like this for you mortals? Well... it's like inviting you to go to the movies, eat, or play together. Isn't this just friends?"

Shi Yu lowered his head slightly. He has never had any real friends. Most of them just met by chance. Even the classmates in school days have no contact after graduation.

But now that I think about it, Tong Guo and Zou Wu seem to have had a lot of interactions. Eating together is better than going out for an outing together. Although a group of people are noisy, they are naturally open-minded.You don't have to hide your own affairs, and you don't have to deliberately please the communication.

Is this a friend?

"Where should I go..." Zou Wu was already thinking about where to go with his chin, "Chunhua, you have seen it, and I went to the amusement park and aquarium last time, climbing... no, no, it's too boring, look. Movie……"

"By the way," Zou Wu looked at Shi Yu with bright eyes, "There is a mask salon tonight! Do you want to go together?"

"No."

"it is good."

Su Mi looked at Shiyu, which responded with a mouthful, turned his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Then go."

Zou Wu looked at Su Mi proudly, and found a box of weird masks and some decorations from his closet:

"This is all in my collection~ I'm the mysterious star of this mask salon~"

Looking at the pile of masks full of lace and sparkling rhinestones, Shi Yu suddenly felt, as if...shouldn't have agreed so quickly.

-

So after Zouwu tossed and tossed, Shiyu put a mask wrapped in champagne-colored silk on his face, and Zouwu also painted some strange lines on his face.

Su Mi took the simplest black mask, Zou Wu thought it was too plain, so he forced Su Mi to expose his ears.Su Mi was originally unwilling, but when she turned her head and saw Shi Yu's little eyes full of expectation, she clicked her tongue and still exposed her ears.

As for Zouwu...it's too gimmicky...Shi Yu can only think of this adjective.

In view of Shi Yu and Su Mi's resolute unwillingness to walk on the street like this, Zou Wu, who wanted to show off, was taken to the door of the salon by Su Mi.

Said it was a salon, but it was actually in a small quiet bar. Shiyu had never participated in this kind of activity before, and he was a little hesitant when he really got to the door, but Su Mi walked in with a candid look, shaking his ears.

As soon as the three of them entered the arena, most people's eyes fell on Zou Wu. The bulingbuling effect was literally dazzling.

But soon someone also noticed Su Mi's pair of ears.

"Where did you buy this prop? It's so realistic." A woman wearing a mask came over and reached out to touch Su Mi's ear.

Su Mi took a step aside without hesitation:

"Bring your own."

Probably because she didn't expect the man in front of her to drive more directly, the woman felt a little ashamed, snorted and walked away on her high heels.

Su Mi yawned, and her ears moved accordingly.

Shi Yu stood aside and saw the scene just now, for some reason, he felt a little stuffy in his heart.So he took a step forward, kicked his feet slightly, pressed Su Mi's lion ears with both hands, and pressed down.

"What's wrong?" Su Mi asked with a smile when she saw Shi Yu stuck in front of her.

"Put it away." Shi Yu pressed the ear that was always trying to stand up again.

"Isn't that what you want to see?"

Shi Yu said solemnly: "It's not good for others to see."

Su Mi hooked the corner of her mouth, stroked Shi Yu's hair behind her, and said "yes" in a low voice, then closed her ears.

Seeing Su Mi put his ears back, Shi Yu withdrew his hand, thinking about looking for Zou Wu.

But suddenly there was a quarrel, and the people around stopped talking and looked at the source of the quarrel—a pair of lovers.

The woman seemed very excited, arguing loudly with the man, while the man stood silently aside.After a while, the woman covered her face and ran out crying, while the man was still standing there.

People around looked at the man curiously. Originally, Shi Yu didn't like to watch these things, but for some reason Zou Wu walked up to the man, and the man seemed to be taken aback when he saw Zou Wu.

Then, not knowing what Zou Wu said, the two of them walked towards Shi Yu and Su Mi, and the people around seemed to have nothing to follow up, so they resumed their conversations.

"So, you know him?" Su Mi found a chair and sat down. This man had a strong inhuman aura.

"We met a few times." Zou Wu and the man sat opposite Su Mi, "He used to be a spirit bird in the palace. I saw him when I passed by the palace."

"I... now my name is Lin Ping," the man looked at Su Mi and Shi Yu, "I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"That was my girlfriend just now... Maybe it should be called my ex-girlfriend." Lin Ping smiled helplessly, "I really like her, but I really shouldn't touch her." @ Unlimited good writing, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Because I'm a bird."

33. Small bird

-

"In the beginning, I was just a spiritual bird, unable to change form, and I didn't understand love and greed."

"I was caught and sacrificed to the emperor. The emperor also felt funny and happy when he saw me. In addition, he sewed me up for the new year, so he put me on the hall to celebrate."

"But which emperor can put a spirit bird in his hall every day? Within half a month, I was brought to a new courtyard."

"Speaking of which, the courtyard is beautiful, but it's too remote, and it looks like few people come here."

"It happened to be cold in the late spring. I was born on the South China Sea. The spring day in the north was too harsh for me. I was only a little enlightened at that time. Although I wanted to leave, I had no choice but to lock myself up."

"The palace man just left me some food and then left. I still remember that it snowed suddenly that night, and the flakes like goose feathers fell in the cage and quickly accumulated."

"I almost huddled on the trough. At that time, I thought that if it was still like this tomorrow, I was afraid that I would really die in the cage."

"In the early morning of the next day, I was so stiff that I couldn't move, and there seemed to be some small ice balls between my feathers."

"The yard is completely clean, and the snow has accumulated an inch deep. I don't think anyone will come."

"At the top of the house beam in the sun, I was trying my best to peck at the lock when I heard the sound of crunching and stepping on the snow. I looked up and saw a woman wearing a court lady's clothes."

"When she saw me, she walked towards me quickly. I thought she was sent to take me away, but she just took my cage off the gold hanging table and put it under the eaves. I cleared the snow off the bottom of the cage."

"'I'm going back, or I'll be scolded, and I'll see you at night', she took out another half of a warm cornbread from her bosom, and put it within reach of my neck."

"The sun was shining in my cage that day, and the snow had melted a little, making it much warmer."

"She came again at night, and this time she brought a small charcoal basin and put it next to my cage. Then she also sat next to me, broke off steamed buns, and shared food with me. I accidentally pecked her hand, she smiled, maybe she was talking to herself or maybe she was really telling me, anyway, she started talking."

"'When I was not in the palace, my father also gave me a little sparrow, but it is not as beautiful as yours, but the fluffy ball is really cute.'"

"'I'm the only girl in my family, and I don't have anyone to play with me. Only my little sparrow stays with me every day.'"

"'Later, when I was 15 years old, I was sent to the palace. My father still thought that there might be noble people in the palace who liked me. I secretly thought that when I first entered the palace.'"

"'But after a long time, I feel that the palace is too dark and cold. It is common for the master to beat and scold, and he died if he didn't pay attention for a long time. I dare not say a word on weekdays. It's really boring. gone.'”

"'There are only so many court ladies like us who are allowed to meet their parents once a year. This year, my father told me that my little sparrow was gone, and I was still sad for a long time.'"

"'There are very few people coming to this yard. Sometimes when I feel really bored, I come here to stay for a while. When I saw a palace man bring you here that day, I always thought it was my little bird who came back.'"

"'What's your name,' she hugged the cage and put it on her lap, 'I heard the master said that you are a small bird, but you are auspicious. I don't know if you have your own name.'"

"She gave me hot food and a charcoal basin. At first I didn't think too much about it, so I regarded her as my master."

"But after that, she always came to see me day by day. Spring went and summer solstice came, and autumn and winter came and went for another year. Just like that, three years passed.

"I jumped out of the cage and wanted to stretch my wings, but I hadn't really flown for several years. I almost fell when I reached shoulder height with her. She caught me and put me on her shoulders. That was the first time I was with her She touched something."

"That day she was smiling, stretching out her skirt, and dancing in the yard. I flew beside her, and I felt that even if all the spring flowers fell, they would not be able to completely fall off her face."

"After she left that night, I also flew out of the cage. That was the first time I overlooked the palace. The courtyards were intertwined and silent. I wanted to see her, but I didn't know where she was."
