Shopkeeper and God

After waking up a year later, he had to go to heaven to greet the goddess Lei Zu and other gods. He felt that the scene of heaven was a place that hadn't changed for thousands of years. However, Qi Xie was not curious, and just followed the man in blue. After a while they entered a palace.

Inside the palace, civil servants and military generals were lined up on both sides, and a well-clothed man sat in the front seat, wearing a crown, and under the bead curtain was not a young face.Qi Xie thought that it should be the Emperor of Heaven, so the man in blue knelt down and kowtowed to the Emperor of Heaven, and said "the man has already brought" referring to Qi Xie.

Qi Xie didn't kneel, but stood in the hall and looked at the Emperor of Heaven, causing dissatisfaction with the people next to the emperor, but was also stopped by the Emperor of Heaven after he drank.The young Emperor of Heaven ordered the man in blue to get up first and retreat, and he looked at Qi Xie with an expression of interest, and said after a while, "Are you the human being with Baochen?" The voice spread throughout the hall .

All the civil servants and generals in the palace looked at Qi Xie in unison, which made Qi Xie very uncomfortable. He looked at the Emperor of Heaven with some dissatisfaction, and said, "It's me, so what? I still want to ask you, Bao Chen Did you do something wrong? Why didn't you let him go for so many years?" Seeing that they were about to quarrel.

The officials of the Heavenly Court couldn't think that a mere human being could be so unreasonable, so they all whispered, but the Heavenly Emperor looked at him approvingly, and said, "Do you know that Baochen is immortal?"

"I know" How can you not know this?

"Then do you know how long he lived?" the Emperor of Heaven asked again.Qi Xie couldn't answer this time, he only knew that Baochen had lived for a long, long time, and he had been living in this world since Nuwa created humans.

"You see, even you don't know." The Emperor of Heaven laughed, "No one knows how long he lived, maybe he was older than Empress Nuwa. But now, the three emperors are dead, and the five emperors have been promoted to immortals. Thousands of years have passed, and Baochen is still living in this world. You are a mere mortal, so it’s fine if you don’t understand the laws of the world. Let me tell you personally that life and death are the rules of the world, but all living objects cannot escape death, including you These mortals, including the gods in the heaven." He waved his sleeves, and the hall fell silent for a while.

"However", he pointed at Qi Xie, "Baochen is an exception."

"He has a long life. People from the Heavenly Court have explored his inner alchemy. His inner alchemy is thick and full of the energy of heaven and earth, without any impurities. He may be a product of the energy of heaven and earth, and he has the same life as the sky and the same fate as the earth." , but if that is the case, he will definitely not produce inner alchemy, let alone have the appearance of a human being." The Emperor of Heaven said, "In this world, gods, monsters, and ghosts all have races, but Baochen is alone. Mortals , let me ask you, don't you find it strange?"

Qi Xie pouted, he couldn't answer again.

"So he is very strange and dangerous." The Emperor of Heaven didn't seem to expect his answer, so he continued, "His inner alchemy is the energy of heaven and earth, and that power is enough to destroy the world and destroy the world. When a When a power capable of subverting you is in front of you, only an ignorant mortal like you will approach him."

"But that's not why you want to kill him! He doesn't even dare to kill a rabbit!" Qi Xie understood, but he didn't understand.

The Emperor of Heaven smiled and said: "It is precisely because he dare not dare that we have to guard against it. If he rushes to the heaven to kill, he comes to be king, and re-rules the order of this world, I think, I will not sit here , I won’t be afraid.” He spread his hands with an innocent expression, “But he can’t do anything. He can’t do anything with great power in his arms, just like your neighbor is a man who can eat people at any time. monster. Mortal, would you be afraid?"

Qi Xie didn't answer, and the Emperor of Heaven said again: "No one can be afraid. Our ancestors were also humans, or the monsters on the ground, we would also be afraid. Therefore, we are afraid of Baochen. We can't leave Baochen alone, we can't let go Let Baochen live freely in this world. We need the means we need, so—”

He pointed at Qi Xie and said, "Mortal, we choose you."

Qi Xie suddenly felt that his hands and feet were as cold as falling into an ice cave. He stared at the aloof Heavenly Emperor intently, only feeling that the entire Heavenly Court was cold, heartless and unreasonable, and then he heard the Heavenly Emperor say:

"We need your strength to fight against Baochen's immortality. We need you to be a reserve of strength against Baochen. Because you are the only human being who is intimate with Baochen."

Spiritual Bell (7)

Lu Xing closed his eyes, and he heard his own thunderous heartbeat.

It's not that he hasn't thought about the purpose of Qi Harmony for thousands of years.A shop that only accepts commissions from monsters, but the shopkeeper is a human being, and there is a heaven behind him as the farmer. The lifespan of past shopkeepers is extremely short.All kinds of things are incompatible with this well-ordered world.Lu Xing firmly believes that the existence of everything has its own necessity, but he cannot understand the "necessity" of Qi Xie.

As early as when he came to this memory, as early as when he knew that the child was the first shopkeeper, as early as when he knew that Baochen was immortal...he should have thought of it.

Confronting Baochen, this is the meaning of Qixie's existence.

The Emperor of Heaven is right, the power of immortality is too strong, if Baochen really wants to overthrow the world, I am afraid it will be just a matter of moving his fingers, it is impossible for those people in Tianting to harass Baochen for so long.But Baochen didn't fight back.This kind of situation will only lead to two consequences, one is that they think that Bao Chen will hold a grudge, so they stop; the other is that they think that Bao Chen is testing them.Obviously, the Emperor of Heaven chose the latter.

But harassment is harassment, Tianting is still unable to deal a substantial blow to Baochen, not to mention Tianting does not know how long Baochen will endure them, and harassment cannot be continuous, Tianting does not have so much leisure.At this time, it is the most appropriate choice to find an "agent" or to create a reserve force.

They chose Qi Harmony.

Lu Xing opened his eyes, his eyes were calm.The Qi Xie in his memory was not as calm as him. He stared at the Emperor of Heaven with his eyes wide open, unable to understand or believe what the Emperor of Heaven said.The Emperor of Heaven smiled and ordered his subordinates to bring up a bead the size of an egg.Lu Xing recognized the bead, it is now placed in Qixie's warehouse, under the portrait of the first shop owner, where the memories of previous shop owners before becoming the shop owner are stored.

"This bead is produced by mussels in the Milky Way. As much memory as you give it, it will give you back the corresponding spiritual power. Even if you are a human being without spiritual power at all, there is a side effect that it will be damaged. The lifespan of a human being." The Emperor of Heaven played with the bead in his hand, "I will give this bead to you, but you must ensure that this bead is passed on to let it eat enough memories. These memories are gathered in this bead. In the bead, after years and years, if one day Baochen rebels, we will have this bead as our foundation, and we will be able to resist Baochen's power."

It was exactly the same as Lu Xing's conjecture.

It's not that Qi Xie doesn't understand the meaning, his face was pale, his fists were clenched tightly, and he said, "Do you think I'll accept it?!"

"Indeed, it's really difficult to accept when I come up to tell you." The Emperor of Heaven put the bead into the tray in the hands of others, and changed a comfortable position, "But you have to think about it, since we can't kill people Naturally, we can make rules that can kill people. Or simply put, if we kill you now, Baochen will not know that we did it." The Emperor of Heaven squeezed his fist at him, "Wait until you die Afterwards, if we want to treat Baochen like this, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to intervene."

Qi Xie has never been threatened by anyone. In his conception, which one of these heavenly people has not been scolded bloody by him.However, this Heavenly Emperor is different from those harassing miscellaneous soldiers after all, Qi Xie can't even speak back, let alone scold.The Heavenly Emperor over there was very satisfied with his reaction, relaxed his posture and said: "Mortal, you should think about it, you are not negotiating terms with us, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with us. You have to think about it, It's not an equal deal."

"Think about it when you go back, mortal, if you think about it, go to the local mountain god and tell me to come see me."

Lu Xing closed his eyes. He was looking at this memory as the owner of Qi Xie's shop. The decision made by the first shop owner was self-evident.He is not sure whether Baochen and Qixie are really in love, but this relationship was torn to pieces by Tianting.Containing Baochen, Lu Xing didn't know how much time Qi Xie spent making this decision, and when he opened his eyes again, Qi Xie had already returned to the human world.The dawn just arrived, the bonfire was extinguished, and the young man who had just reached the weak crown sat by the ashes of the bonfire, his eyes were more dead than those dead ashes.Baochen hadn't come back yet, and the silence of the four fields seemed to have swallowed up even the sound of breathing.

He just sat like that, just like when he was abandoned by Baochen.After Lu Xing looked at it for a while, Baochen came back with some fruits in his arms. He was a little surprised to see Qi Xie woke up, and found that he was not very energetic, so he asked a question.Qi Xie thought that the Taoist priest didn't sleep well at night, so Baochen told him to wash the fruit for him to eat.Although there was no expression on Baochen's face, he was gentle and harmless, not at all like someone who could overthrow the world.

Lu Xing knew that Qi Xie had gods fighting in his heart.Not to mention Qi Xie, if Lu Xing faced this situation, he wouldn't even know what to do.No one is just and no one is right in this whole thing...absurd.Perhaps Baochen's existence itself is absurd, and this decision of Tianting is even more absurd.

In the next few days, it was rare to be peaceful, and it was rare that Heavenly Court did not send people to harass them.Baochen said that he was going to find the nearby mountain god, Qi Xie
