The beginning of the catastrophe

"Chapter One River Lantern"

On the top of the moon, the weeping willows on both sides of the bank reflect the lake surface, shadowy.

At night, the riverside is less populated, and there are a few simple lanterns floating on the river, mostly in the shape of boats, but also in the shape of lotus flowers and columns.Squatting on a piece of bluestone, Tuanzi held an exquisite silver powder lotus lantern in both hands. The ones bought at the stalls are even smaller, and you can tell at a glance that they are from the hands of the two.

Tuanzi touched the lotus petals carefully, and said cheerfully,

"Uncle Gui Li really looks good."

The corner of Gui Li's mouth curled slightly, and he placed the other spirit bird that was just finished in his hand at his feet.

He has lived in the world since he was a child, so he is naturally familiar with these things. When he was young, he envied and secretly learned about the structures of various places.Although he is not good at carpentry, but he is in control of his mind, and his effort is not bad at all, and he picks the best paper and silk, so the natural work is lifelike.Tuanzi was happy, blushing, and carefully put the lamp on the lake, eyes wide open to see it slowly drifting into the distance, but saw a swaying grass boat, on which was vaguely the words "seeking marriage", followed by pink The skirt girl was full of frustration.

The little hand was trying to help it stabilize, but it was interrupted by a finger. He looked at Ghost Li with a bulging face, his eyes were full of question marks, Ghost Li patted his head, "Using magic to change its trajectory at will, it will be out of thin air. Giving people wrong expectations, besides, you are the son of God, you have the power to save days, and you have the ability to change others' surprises, and you should not act rashly."

Ye Hua followed with a glance, and said gently,

"The person who is tied by the red thread on the woman's body is not the same person as the one on the boat. Since she is tied with the old red rope, the boat should sink."

Tuanzi nodded in confusion, and after a while, he saw the straw boat slowly sinking into the water.

Bai Qian watched the two of them teaching Tuanzi about the things around them, but she felt that there was no room for anyone else in the middle.

For a moment, Ye Hua's eyes followed the distant river lanterns, and the lights all over the lake were easily discernible. He turned his head to look at the person next to him who didn't know when he started to wander, with a smile on his lips, "His Royal Highness, how can you do such a thing?" Meticulous mortal things are really unknown, but do you like mortal things?"

Ghost Li was startled awake by his voice, and responded lightly,

"It's not like I like it, it's just that I have experienced in the ghost king's school in the world, so I have a lot of contact."

Ghost King Zong?

The Ghost King Sect is established in the training place for disciples in the cultivation world, Ye Hua knew it well, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Bai Qian sighed aside,

"The mortal world uses river lanterns to pray for blessings, but I don't know how many gods can see it."

Gui Li squatted down, his fingertips flickering, leading back a lotus lantern not far away that was accidentally stranded because of the earth immortal's salute, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it for a moment, "The lantern carries people's wishes, it's nothing more than seeking peace of mind. It doesn't really mean much either."

As soon as the words fell, a hand stretched out from his side and took the lamp from his palm, and Ye Hua's voice sounded from beside him, "If you are pious, and fate has a cause, this method may not be in vain, just like the one just now. Like a woman."

He dipped the corner of his robe in the lake water, leaned over and put the lamp back into the water, the wind picked up at his fingertips, the lotus lamp wobbled and drifted to the distance, the flame was weak, and gradually disappeared among the many lantern flowers.

Those who make wishes follow their hearts, those who make lamps follow the waves, water overcomes fire and is defeated by the earth, fate is numbered and destined to kalpa, there are many traces to be found.

Seeing his gentle movements, Gui Li suddenly showed off his face,

"If all the gods are as compassionate and sober as you are, it will be a blessing to the world."

Tuanzi did not follow,

"Father is lying, I can't move, why can father?"

Just as Gui Li was about to explain, Tuanzi covered his ears, blinking his eyes obviously mischievous, "Uncle Gui Li's words are probably directed at Father, so Tuanzi doesn't want to listen."

Embarrassed, Gui Li stretched out his hand and flicked his white and tender forehead lightly,

"nonsense."

Ye Hua lowered his head and coughed lightly, raised his eyes and echoed with Tuanzi,

"I don't even know when His Royal Highness the Ghost King spoke to me, why don't you clarify this time?"

Seeing the two of them singing together, Gui Li narrowed his eyes, changed the subject,

"Avalokitesvara with thousands of appearances, one thought of Buddha and demons."

Ye Hua was startled, then smiled again,

"Thinking comes from the heart, so why talk about Buddhas and demons."

The four eyes met each other, they all knew each other clearly, Tuanzi was giggling, he had long since given up on the question just now.Bai Qian was puzzled by the dumb dialogue between the two of them, so she couldn't think about it, so she concentrated on seeing where the tuanzi's lamp went.

Most people related to state affairs have deep thoughts, and a sentence can hide several layers of meaning.Bai Qian pouted, wondering if the two of them were tired.

Gui Li doesn't believe in the destiny, Ye Hua is the next emperor, Bai Qian is also a god, he should have no interest in such prayers, but Ye Hua took another one made by Gui Li, and seemed to meditate What, I was stunned for a moment, shook my head, and put it in carefully.

Only relying on the weather and wind by the river, without adding half a point of guidance.

Bai Qian wondered which blessing he was asking for, but Ye Hua gave her a light look.An hour ago, she lost someone else's son in the brothel, and was entangled by Deng Tu's prodigal son. Thinking that if the two of them hadn't arrived in time, there might be more twists and turns, she immediately shifted her gaze away with guilt.Ghost Li couldn't help being curious, but he still maintained his usual indifference, and didn't speak.

After the lights were put on, the sky was already deep and dark blue, Tuanzi quarreled and refused to go back to the inn, there were not three or two inns in this town, but there was only one guest room left.

Since they are unmarried couples, the three of them can naturally live together.Ye Hua frowned, but Gui Li didn't care about it, a stroke of luck, he touched a green tile under his feet.The moonlight here is just right, although the aura is thin, meditating for one night is better than nothing.

Ye Hua looked up and saw that he had closed his eyes, but he really couldn't find a reason to invite him into the house, the dumpling in his arms was already breathing evenly.

That's it.

He went back to his room with the dumpling in his arms, and Bai Qian sat in the small corner by the window, moving the chopsticks between the dishes in his hand.Ye Hua pursed his lips, thinking and bewildered, the husband and wife in the previous life, the marriage contract in this life, he obviously had memories, but he resisted for no reason.Just like in the three years in Tiangong, he was almost a stranger to her, and it was precisely because of this that Sujin found an opportunity to assassinate her.After all, it was his fault.Ye Hua sighed secretly, and covered the quilt for Tuanzi, only then noticed that Tuanzi's clenched hands were slightly separated, but there was a jade pendant lying on the palm.He was slightly surprised, reached out and took it out, his hands were shiny, and looked carefully, the shape of this jade pendant...

"boom"

It was as if the Donghuang bell hit the Dongfang thunder drum in his mind, Ye Hua took a step back unconsciously, his eyes were full of shock, and a blurry picture suddenly appeared in his mind: the strange green hills. , a rafter bamboo house.

Two men whose faces were unclear stood facing each other. The man in the blue shirt looked at the jade pendant that had been placed in his palm, and said in a puzzled tone, "The person inside is you?"

The man in Tsing Yi shook the other piece in his hand, with a gentle and pleasant voice,

"Well, this is made by me from the Bodhi jade heart that has been gathered for thousands of years in Canglan Mountain. It has a rare effect of gathering spirits. It is engraved with an ancient miniature spirit gathering array to automatically filter out impurities. It is beneficial to your practice. and,"

He suddenly approached the man in blue, pecked lightly on the other's cheek, and said with a smile, "This is a pair, don't lose it, there is a trace of my breath in it, unless it dissipates, otherwise no matter where you are in the future I will find you anywhere."

Ye Hua pinched his fingertips into his palm, when did he have such an experience, when did he ever come to the world? !

Who are these two people?

Bai Qian was startled by his expression,

"Yehua? You..."

Ye Hua took a breath, ignored her question, and walked out quickly, stepping on the wind quickly, and went up to the roof.

Gui Li sat cross-legged safely, and when a week was about to finish, a figure suddenly turned up beside him, he turned his head, and met Ye Hua's dark eyes.

"Looking for me? What are you doing?"

Why don't you go with your wife?

The pouring moonlight faintly illuminated the roof like water, and Gui Li's eyes became more and more bright, probably because of the enveloping moonlight, the cold outside was as black as water, it seemed more attractive than this moonlit night, for some reason he The corners of the eyes are slightly red, the lips are tightly pursed and soft, the center of the lips are gathered but not scattered, the face is as pale as the first face, the long hair tied in the jade crown is blown out, and the ten fingers on the knees are long and slender. Clean, as white as jade.

Under the thousands of stars, there is a beautiful person with a beautiful profile, looking indifferent and ruthless.

Ye Hua couldn't help being lost in thought, her fingertips tightened slightly.

After waiting for a long time without waiting for an answer, Gui Li looked at the upright man, but saw that his eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish, what's wrong?

Ye Hua stretched out his clenched hand, spread it out, and lay a piece of jasper quietly in his palm.

"Is this yours?"

The clear water is clear with fog patterns, and there are spiritual energy invisible to the naked eye gathering into rolls. Every thing that is born with spiritual gathering is a rare treasure in the world.The jade bi is round and arc-shaped, and the air is clear inside. There is a faint image of a man in a green robe standing with his hands behind his back. It is inevitable to be blurred through the jade surface, but the momentum revealed can still be seen to be tall and straight. On the back is engraved a " Jun" word.

Gui Li turned his head back indifferently, closed his eyes to get luck,

"Well, I gave it to Tuanzi. If you ask me that, what's wrong with this jade?"

The problem is that it never happened, but...

Fengshen poked his probe in the sky, and inadvertently saw the dignified prince, and hurriedly stopped the wind, and sneaked away.

Ye Hua's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything. He clenched the jade pendant in his hand, suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, and his voice was as calm as the sea, "It's nothing serious, but I feel that the shape is rare in my heart, so I want to ask about it." It is the work of a ghost master."

Immortals have a long lifespan, studying jade and ancient artifacts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all common, Gui Li didn't think much about it, and said in a deep thought, "I don't know about this, but it should not be a member of the ghost clan. Only this piece of jade is considered precious, so I gave it to him."

Ye Hua grasped the point sensitively, fixed his eyes on Gui Li,

"You don't know?"

Gui Li pursed his lips and remained silent.

Ye Hua didn't ask any more questions, paused, and spoke slowly,

"Since this jade is carried with you, it must be very important to you. Don't be in a hurry, and don't need to be so expensive."

The words seem to want to return this piece of jade.

Gui Li hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and after a while, an emotionless voice sounded, "It's just something my subordinates put away when packing up, it's a gift from an old friend many years ago, it's here and can't be parted It is suitable for beginners, but it is useless to me now, besides, "

He turned his face, serious face,

"Tuanzi is the time when the foundation of the immortal body is unstable. This jade gathering spirit is pure and gentle, and will not overly impact the tendons. It is suitable for him."

Ghost Li's voice had stopped for a while, and the roof seemed more and more empty.

Ye Hua's voice that couldn't discern emotion sounded,

"The clear aura on the edge of this jade is close to the Lord. It must be often kept in the inner garment and raised by others. Is this old friend really just an old friend to you?"

Gui Li didn't expect him to ask this question, but his displeasure seemed to be aroused in his heart,

"Your Highness is too lenient. Whether you are an old friend or not is a private matter for you. Whether I want this jade or not, what to do with it is also my business. If Your Highness thinks there is something inappropriate about this jade, Just lose it!"

His tone was extremely cold, and at this moment he looked like the ghost king who was rumored to reject people thousands of miles away.

Is it true that he has no attachment to this jade...

Ye Hua suddenly chuckled, and paused every word in a cold voice,

"Young Master Xue is really free and easy, I thanked Young Master Xue on behalf of Tuanzi."

There was no sound behind me.

After a while, Gui Li opened his eyes, Ye Hua's current attitude... the expression in his eyes was unspeakable, after hesitating for a moment, a thin transparent thread came out of his body, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"The time has come."

……

Ye Hua stood in front of the window, his eyes were cold, his left hand was tightly holding the piece of jade that belonged to Gui Li.After a long time, he took out something hidden in the deepest button of his robe. The cold moonlight shone on the thing, which became clearer and clearer. The weak light illuminated it. It was a piece of jasper of the same color as before, and its texture seemed to be the same. It was made from one block, but inside was engraved a man in a blue suit.He flipped it over, and the word on the back was "Fan".

The characters are carved like a knife, with restrained sharpness, showing the depth of its owner.

That's clearly my own handwriting!

This jade has been carried with him since he returned from the lower realms. Although the past has disappeared due to the calamity, he still feels its weight. He thought it was the only one, but today, the piece in Gui Li's hand is clearly the same as Own is a pair!

How can it be? Whose name is "Fan"?Or mortal?

Is that man in blue the same person as the person who suddenly appeared in his memory at Zhuxiantai 300 years ago?

No, although the memory is not clear in just a short moment, the blue clothes, the black clothes, and the temperament are completely different, but they are unmistakable.

And the black clothes...

Surprised, Ye Hua vetoed it again.

Impossible, Gui Li is a member of the ghost tribe...

old friend...

Could it be that Gui Li's old friend had a relationship with him before?

Pairs of jade bi, one's own breath, intimate behavior...

The eyes of the person holding the jade pendant were getting darker and darker.

In front of the roof window, one person sits and the other stands, and that's it, tossing and turning all night.
