Gratitude License

Chang Jing frowned and looked at Xu Liang, as if looking at a monster.

Xu Liang looked at Chang Jing with a smile, but it seemed like he was looking at food.

After a while, Chang Jing asked again, "Who the hell are you?"

Xu Liang asked back, "Who do you want me to be?"

Chang Jing gritted her teeth irritably, turned over Xu Liang's wrist forcefully, and looked at his palm.

Xu Liang had a black mole the size of a sesame seed growing on the palm of his hand, which happened to be on the lifeline.

Chang Jing: "No matter who you are, this body is stupid."

Xu Liang: "So what? If I occupy it, it's mine."

"Sure enough." Chang Jing clasped Xu Liang's wrist firmly, and hurriedly recited a mantra, and a purification talisman flew towards him.

Chang Jing didn't look at the talisman, but just moved her fingers naturally, and the thin white piece of paper landed firmly between the index finger and middle finger.

With a sound of "呲", the handwriting on the rune suddenly lit up, and a faint light like moonlight flowed out.

Xu Liang looked at Jingfu, "I'm not dead yet, so don't rush to burn the paper."

Chang Jing ordered the talisman to approach Xu Liang's chest, and said coldly, "Get lost or die."

Xu Liang carefully looked at Chang Jing a few times, then closed his eyes as if accepting his fate, "Okay, I'm dead."

Chang Jing felt benevolent and righteous, so he didn't waste any more time, and said another sentence in a low voice, and the Jing Talisman suddenly shone brightly.

Xu Liang opened his eyes against the strong light, and said with a smile: "But I will drag the fool to my funeral."

Chang Jing hesitated for a moment, but the movement of his hands did not stop, and the cleansing charm stuck to the skin of Xu Liang's chest, covering the bruises.

He grabbed Xu Liang with one hand, and put pressure on the clean talisman with the other.

The Jing Talisman is one of the ancestral runes of the Chang family. It was drawn twice at Meridian, and it contains strong spiritual power. Remove the bruises on Xu Liang's chest.

But what I didn't expect was that the clean talisman started to darken within a few seconds after it was attached to Xu Liang's body.

The purple-black bruises are like flowing ink, actually permeating the runes.

In a moment, the rune turned into a piece of dark waste paper. Chang Jing said something was wrong, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand, but the palm was still stained with a dark color, and there was a burning pain on the skin.

Chang Jing clenched his fists and looked at Xu Liang. Xu Liang's face was pale, black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and then dripped from his chin, splashing on Chang Jing's hands with a strong smell.

The situation was completely beyond Chang Jing's expectations. He was a little at a loss for a while, and anxiously wiped the corners of Xu Liang's mouth with his sleeve.

Xu Liang coughed, with a heavy noise in his rapid breathing, he grabbed Chang Jing's skirt and looked up at his face, obviously he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

Chang Jing's heart trembled at the farewell eyes, "Silly Liang!"

The corner of Xu Liang's mouth twitched, he let out a muffled snort, and dropped his head on Chang Jing's body.

It was pitch black again.

Xu Liang couldn't see or hear, but he didn't completely lose consciousness. He felt his body getting lighter and thinner, as if he would be blown away by the wind at any moment.

The feeling of waiting to die seems not as difficult as imagined.

In the muddle, many pictures spread out in the darkness of nothingness.

Xu Liang saw his five-year-old self pulling four-and-a-half-year-old Chang Jing, stealing the good old wine left by Chang's grandfather, and pouring it into a tank to harm the goldfish.

He saw himself climbing to the big peach tree outside the kitchen, picking the freshly formed peaches and throwing them to Chang Jing. Chang Jing opened his mouth and gnawed, but ended up with a mouthful of peach hair, and his tender lips swelled into two sausages .

He saw two people pee and mud, and planted red and green flags in the mud pit.

He saw Chang Jing lying on the edge of the barrel and dozing off in the big wooden barrel in the bathroom, the steam steamed his face into peeled shrimp.

He saw himself handing a dirty tin box to Chang Jing's hand, saying that my treasure is inside, you should keep it safe for me, and open it together when we grow up.

Chang Jing made a promise with him, and the two of them put their thumbs together and stamped a silly seal.

Then the screen jumped, he was standing in a corner of the cemetery, and a boy in a long shirt was standing under a tree in the distance. He walked over and grabbed the boy, and stuffed a toffee into his palm...

The blue-purple light pierced the darkness from south to north, illuminating the field of vision.

Fragmentary memories disappeared in an instant, Xu Liang found himself awake, tried to lower his head, but there was nothing under his feet.

He seems to be floating in the air, but there is no sense of vanity.

"sorry."

Someone spoke to him, slowly and with a hollow echo.

Xu Liang felt that the voice sounded familiar. When he raised his head, he saw a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.

The boy was wearing a purple-gray gown that had been washed white, and his long hair hung down to his shoulders. At first glance, he didn't look like a modern person should be dressed.

Xu Liang looked the boy up and down, "What the hell are you?"

The boy's voice was crisp, but his tone was calm, "I'm not a ghost, I'm a demon."

Xu Liang smiled, "I heard that McQueen and the Queen Mother are popular in the demon world recently. Judging by this standard, your clothes are like dirt."

"I am Yuezhuo, I am born nostalgic."

"A phoenix? That phoenix with particularly complicated strokes? Isn't it extinct?"

Yuezhuo nodded slowly, "The strokes used to be really complicated. After the revision of "Modern Chinese Demon Dictionary", it is no longer written like that. Now it is the moon of the moon. It is not counted as extinct, but I am the last one. You can call me by that name."

Xu Liang looked at Yue Zhuo's handsome face, "Tell me, why are you sorry for me?"

Yuezhuo stared at Xu Liang indifferently, her clear eyes seemed to be taken out of the refrigerator, not frozen but also without temperature, "I fell into the trap of the ground wolf by mistake and was trapped for a whole month. got away."

Xu Liang: "I don't understand."

Yue Zhuo: "The ground wolf lured you out while I was away and stole your amulet."

Xu Liang's heart moved slightly, he took a step closer to Yuezhuo, and looked at that fair little face more carefully.

They stood in a quiet darkness, obviously without any light source, but Xu Liang's vision was extremely clear, and he could even see that the irises of Yuezhuo were not black, but a deep purple that was almost black.

After a while, Xu Liang asked, "Since when did you start following me?"

Yue Zhuo: "I didn't follow you, but followed the amulet on your body. It's a pity that it has been stolen now, and the poisonous miasma has penetrated into your internal organs."

"Why did the ground wolf steal it?"

"I do not know."

"If you don't know, stop talking nonsense. I'm busy waiting to die, so don't waste time standing here."

"As long as you take the amulet back, you won't die." Yue Zhuo spoke a little faster than before, "As long as you put the amulet back on your body, the power it possesses can suppress the poisonous miasma in your body, and you will Back to health soon, just like when I was five years old."

"When you were five years old?" Xu Liang frowned suddenly, "Did you do something good at that time?"

Yue Zhuo couldn't hear the derogatory meaning in the words, nodded and said: "I come back now, just want you to find the amulet with me, it has been integrated into your blood for the past 19 years, you know it better than me Where is it at?"

"So it's really you." Xu Liang narrowed his eyes and looked at Yue Zhuo, "You just said, it's exactly the same as when you were five years old?"

"Yes, the amulet keeps you in good health."

Xu Liang laughed, and added in his heart: It will also make me a fool.

He looked at Yue Zhuo provocatively, "Why do you think I will help?"

"It's not helping, it's mutual benefit, you're dying, only it can keep you alive."

"Is that amulet important to you?"

"Yes, very important."

"Then if I don't help, how are you going to find it by yourself?"

"It may take a long time to find it, but even if it takes hundreds or thousands of years, I will find it."

Xu Liang smiled and waved to Yuezhuo, "Then goodbye, you go find it."

Yue Zhuo was taken aback, and there was a trace of anxiety in her tone, "Aren't you going to help me?"

Xu Liang: "Why help you? It's fun to find more than 1000 years. It will never be boring."

"But you will die."

"What does it matter to you whether I die or not? I want you to mind your own business."

"It really doesn't matter, the contract period has passed long ago..." Yue Zhuo frowned slightly, raised her hand to support her chin and thought for a moment, then asked: "Are you sure? You are not alive anymore?"

Xu Liang: "It's boring, I'm tired of work."

Yue Zhuo: "But you are only 24 years old, and this time is too short for a phoenix to hatch an egg... But okay, sorry, I thought that human beings are afraid of death, so since this is the case..." He The right hand grasped vaguely at the dark place behind him, and actually tore a gap in the thick black.

"Now the descendants of the Chang family are going to feed you the Tianxuan Pill. If you eat one, you will live for three hours longer. Do you want me to snatch the elixir for you?"

Xu Liang heard Yue Zhuo's words, but he didn't take a single word to heart, all his attention was on Chang Jing.

The guy was sweating profusely now, biting the cork with his teeth and pouring out the pills, regardless of his image.

Xu Liang subconsciously frowned.

Yue Zhuo seemed to understand something, and tentatively said: "He will be sad when you die, are you sure you don't want to live anymore?"

Xu Liang's face changed slightly, and then he gradually smiled, "Then tell me, why is he sad?"

"Because you grew up together, just like me and my brother..." Yue Zhuo suddenly lost her voice when she said this.

Xu Liang deliberately said: "Your brother is dead, you are the only one left to live, how lonely, how lonely, why don't you die with me."

Yue Zhuo replied solemnly: "I will not die."

Xu Liang was inexplicably poked at the point of laughter, and bent over while pressing Yue Zhuo's shoulder.

Yue Zhuo looked back at Chang Jing, and said to Xu Liang: "If you are sure that you are going to die, I will go out and grab the medicine for you now."

Xu Liang responded with a smile, Yuezhuo stepped back a few steps, a purple shimmer covered her body.

After a while, the light faded, and the ten-meter-long wings drew two dazzling arcs of light in the darkness. Five slender tail feathers were suspended in the air, and the luster on the feathers was like streams of clear water, rotating with the airflow from the wings Winding, irrigated the whole space.

Before Yuezhuo left, she turned around and glanced at Xu Liang, "Don't be too sad."

Xu Liang: "I'm very happy, not sad at all."

"Okay, I understand, only the descendants of the Chang family will be sad, that year he thought you were going to die, and cried for a whole day and night." Yuezhuo said, the wings rolled up a torrent, and flew towards the gap in the darkness.

Xu Liang suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yue Zhuo's longest tail feather.

Almost at the same time, the huge purple phoenix trembled, lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Yue Zhuo stared at Xu Liang's hand, her voice trembling, "Let go—"

Xu Liang seemed to have found some new toy, instead he grabbed the tail feathers and dragged Yue Zhuo towards him a little bit.

He clamped Yue Zhuo with one hand and held the tail feather with the other, and stroked it to the end along the direction of the feather's growth.

Yuezhuo trembled even more violently, struggling to escape, but seemed unable to exert any strength, just fluttered its feathers, like a plague chicken soaked in rain.

"The hair is messed up, I'll help you straighten it out." Xu Liang pressed Yuezhuo and stroked his head.

Moon Zhuo crown feathers are long and slender, and the light purple fluff trembles gently with the feather stems, like a dandelion.

"Don't mess around!" The feathers on Yue Zhuo's neck stood up one by one, making it appear that his entire bird body had gained weight, and he completely lost the calm and calm temperament just now.

Xu Liang shook Yue Zhuo's head to make him look at him, "You said Chang Jing is sad, is it because of me, or because of a fool?"

Yuezhuo didn't answer, but instead raised her wings violently, creating a hurricane.

Xu Liang was overturned to the ground, while Yue Zhuo panted heavily and turned into a human form.

Xu Liang: "It's better for you to become a human."

Yue Zhuo's originally calm and boring face finally fluctuated, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you going to die or not?"

Xu Liang hooked his index finger towards Yuezhuo, and Yuezhuo looked at him warily, refusing to approach him.

Xu Liang: "Do you still want to find the amulet?"

Yuezhuo approached Xu Liang, "You agreed?"

Xu Liang pinched Yue Zhuo's ears, "You go to Chang Jing now and say you can save me, but..."
