Copper Coins

On the second floor of the bamboo building in the col of Dupan Mountain, the layout of the hut is very simple, so simple that it is almost unpopular.There is only one bamboo bed in total, and it looks like it has hardly slept on anyone.

To be precise, the interior of this seemingly bedroom seems to be rarely visited by anyone.I don't know what kind of life the former owner lived here, and he seemed to be promoted to immortality without eating, drinking, or sleeping.

But no matter how the owner used to live here, now he is lying quietly on the bamboo bed like an ordinary person——

Xuan Min's body was covered with a long white robe, his face was bloodless, showing a lifeless gray, his hands were loosely folded in front of his body, as cold as ice, but motionless.

In the first two days, Xue Xian played with him a lot.Because he can't get hot no matter what, it's always like ice.Xue Xian surrounded him with a layer of hot air, keeping him warm all the time.Later, he felt that it was still a little cold, so he wanted to find something to cover him.

He rummaged in the bamboo building for a long time, but he couldn't even find the bedding, so he simply went to the county outside, spent some money, bought some bedding and a thicker robe.

Xue Xian originally wanted to take off his outer robe and cover it with Xuan Min, but the black robe that usually looks very pleasing to the eye was covered on Xuan Min's body, and against his lifeless face, it was glaring no matter how you looked at it.

So much so that Xue Xian, who never cared about anything inauspicious, was a little bit taboo about black clothes for the first time.

For two days, Xue Xian almost kept tossing and covering Xuan Min with blankets.I also feel that such a heavy thing is really not suitable for Xuan Min.Switching to a robe of another color, but no matter how you look at it, it feels awkward...

After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally found a spotless white robe and covered it for Xuan Min.

After finishing the robe, he felt that Xuan Min who was lying down like that was not used to it. In fact, Xuan Min who was lying down was a bit strange.In Xue Xian's memory, Xuan Min was either meditating, or busy with some business with a calm and quiet face.

After sitting for a while, Xue Xian couldn't rest anymore, and hurriedly changed Xuan Min's position.Playing with his arms, he folded his two hands in front of him.

After Xuan Min settled down, Xue Xian went to the Hundred Worm Cave alone.He went straight to the last stone room, and rubbed down all the strange characters profusely on the stone wall.

It's just that he doesn't know those characters, and he can't solve anything after expanding them.

He even found time to find the old man Qu in the village outside the mountain, and asked him to take a look at the contents of the extension.

It's just a pity that the old man Qu didn't recognize it either. He just said that this strange talisman resembled the old characters of their clan. I saw one or two written by the old man sporadically, but no one used it as early as a hundred years ago. Those who know those old characters today have long since turned into piles of loess.

Therefore, the extended characters are not useful for the time being, and Xue Xian has no choice but to put them away.

He found himself a lot of dispensable things, and kept busy around Xuan Min, because he didn't dare to let himself be completely idle. Once he calmed down, he would clearly feel that there was not even a little soul in Xuan Min. There is no gas left.

Xue Xian has very good eyesight, he can see people and ghosts.He has seen Jiang Shining, he has seen the old lady Liu, he has seen the wounded soldiers in the military badge...he has seen many things, living people, or dead ghosts, but he can't see anything other than Xuan Min's body everything.

However, the things he can be busy with are limited after all. After three or four days of continuous busy work, he finally calmed down unavoidably.

Once he calmed down, he could sit by the window frame and watch Xuan Min motionless for a whole day, sometimes just looking at him, trying to find a slight change or movement.Sometimes just watching Xuan Min in a trance.

In the dimple of his neck, the small mole left by the same longevity spider is still dim, like a star of blood that has dried up. I don't know when it will come back to life, or maybe it won't be alive again...

Xue Xian has obviously lived alone for thousands of years, and he should have gotten used to the quietness without being bothered.But now, Xuan Min just lay down without opening his eyes, speaking or breathing, and he felt a long-lasting loneliness...

Fortunately, he soon found himself another thing to do.

This time it was not a trivial matter such as changing the draped clothes or changing the posture - he found an old book in the collection of the bamboo building.

That book should have been written and ordered by a person, and I don't know how many years ago it is. The paper inside has become brittle, and it seems that it will be torn to pieces if it is careless.It has been placed in the cabinet for too long, and the humidity in the mountains is heavy, and this bamboo building has not been lived in for a long time.As a result, the paper pages are not so smooth, and some handwriting has also faded a lot.

But this did not hinder Xue Xian's mood of flipping through the book - half of the book contained things that Xue Xian could not understand.

It's not the other side, it's the kind of characters on the stone wall, and the other half uses commonly used words to explain the meaning of those weird characters.

The content of this book is very detailed, and it can be seen that the person who wrote these at the beginning was calm, calm and patient.

Xue Xian hurriedly turned to the last page, and as expected, the inscription was still the expected two words: same lamp.

When he fell into a demon on Jiangsong Mountain, because of the involvement caused by the copper coins, he saw a part of Xuan Min's memory that finally recovered.Later, after waking up, he briefly sorted out what he saw, and almost understood the inside story and inheritance of the name of the national teacher Tongdeng.

From that point of view, the Tongdeng who produced the same-span spider in Hundred Wormholes and the Tongdeng who wrote this book should be the same person, the original one.

Xue Xian has never met that fellow lamp, but judging from this book, he should not be a villain, at least he can be regarded as a good teacher.

After finding the book, Xue Xian didn't delay for a moment. He took out the rubbed paper, compared it with the content in the book, and annotated it word by word.He worked tirelessly and spent four days to fully understand the contents of the paper.

Afterwards, he sat silently by the desk for a whole night...

There is a person who bears all the endless suffering and suffering from life to life without saying a word, but doesn't even ask for a response.

If he hadn't read the content on the stone wall by chance, he might never have known what the other party had done for the rest of his life...

How could he ignore such a person.

You can get it back after entering reincarnation, let alone not entering.From all over the world, no matter where Xuan Min is, he will drag him back.

-

Suddenly it snowed again in the sky in the wilderness, not the kind that was frighteningly cold, but in large swaths, clean and flawless, even with an almost gentle flavor.

"It's New Year's Eve." Standing by the door with his hands behind his back, Tong Deng looked up at the heavy snow falling under the nine heavens, and suddenly seemed to have forgotten something, and asked, "I can't remember clearly, what is this?" year?"

Xuan Min is still recuperating in the house, he has suffered too much wear and tear, and he cannot be recuperated in a short while, at least he can't reach for things as easily as Tong Deng.

He seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the futon, but he was actually floating slightly in the air.

Even if it was an extremely light needle, he couldn't hold it in his palm.Thin needles would pass through his palm and fall to the ground.

Xuan Min listened to Tong Deng's question, closed his eyes and answered smoothly: "Tianxi is 23 years old, after today, it will be 24."

The fluttering snow was reflected in Tongdeng's dark eyes, like a bottomless lake, as if hundreds of years passed by in such a way that he closed his eyes and opened them again.After a long time, he said lightly: "Oh, Tianxi..."

His tone was a bit unfinished, but after these two words, he didn't speak again, and he didn't know what he was thinking, or he simply lamented that time was too fast.

"It's going to snow all night, it's a good omen." Tong Deng said one last sentence, and was about to turn around and go back to the house to continue teasing his disciples, but before he could turn around, he suddenly heard thunder in the sky came.

The thunder came without warning, it was so abrupt, it didn't seem natural at all.

As soon as he heard the thunder, Xuan Min, who hadn't opened his eyes for many days, suddenly opened them.

When Xue Xian transformed into a dragon, he was always accompanied by clouds and thunder, so much so that Xuan Min had almost developed a habit. Whenever he heard such thunder, he would subconsciously feel that Xue Xian would fall in front of him with the thunder.

But instead, he closed his eyes silently.Now he is neither a ghost nor an obsession. Normally speaking, no one can see him, and it is impossible to calculate where he is.How could Xue Xian come over?

Tong Deng suddenly said in surprise, "This thunder..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the thunder that had been hidden above the nine heavens had already appeared. The white light was like a winding dead branch, and it fell straight down. The landing point was very clear, and it was Daze Temple.

Tongdeng watched the strange mysterious thunder coming straight towards the roof where they were, and it seemed that it was about to strike, but because of some things, it barely stopped.

The thunder came inexplicably, and went away inexplicably, as if to surprise them, but also as if...

I don't know if it's his illusion, but this mysterious thunder has an unstoppable aura, which is definitely not something that can be attracted by the thunder banner or other tricks, it is more like the kind that will be encountered in the calamity.But this is good, where is the person going through the calamity?

So Tong Deng felt that he might have made a mistake.

"Don't be your real dragon?" He turned to look at Xuan Min.

Xuan Min: "..."

What is "your real dragon"?Xuan Min didn't even bother to open his eyes, and didn't have any unrealistic fantasies.

But there is no need for him to answer, Tong Deng already has the answer——

Because he had just finished asking this question, there was a faint dragon chant from a distance, and in just a few blinks, a figure in black, wrapped in dozens of lightning bolts, crashed down in front of the house door.

The movement was too loud and too familiar.Even Xuan Min couldn't remain indifferent, he opened his eyes suddenly, and looked outside the door in astonishment.

Xue Xian's appearance was no different from before, his skin was still so plain, which complemented his facial features very well.However, Xuan Min seemed like he hadn't seen him for a long, long time. Although there was only a distance of two zhang, yet inexplicably there was a nostalgia for the separation between life and death.

Xuan Min's gaze did not turn away, the mountain was pressing on Xue Xian and he could not move away.

Xue Xian looked a little puzzled, standing in front of the door, but he seemed to be unable to see the two people in the room.He frowned, and looked around the room, with a deep and complicated emotion in his expression.

He can't see.

He was still invisible.

The light in Xuan Min's eyes dimmed a bit, and there was a heavy gentleness in it.People can't help but feel sad after seeing it.

However, at the next moment, when Xue Xian's gaze passed the place where he was sitting, he suddenly paused.He didn't seem to see it so clearly. He frowned and squinted his eyes for a long time before calling out tentatively: "Bulk?"

Tong Deng: "Tsk."

However, Xue Xian didn't notice Tong Deng at all, his eyes only swept slightly where Xuan Min was.

Xuan Min responded with a deep voice, "En."

Tong Deng: "Tsk."

But Xue Xian didn't hear Xuan Min's answer.He stared at this place and waited silently for a moment.Finally, unable to wait any longer, he took out a length of thin rope from his sleeve rather simply, and wrapped it around his wrist twice. When it was tied, the thin rope shimmered and seemed to come alive.

"Since you didn't respond, you can't blame me." Xue Xian muttered as he twisted the string with his eyes downcast.After speaking, he pinched the other end of the string on his fingertips, aimed at Xuan Min's direction, and then raised his hand to shake it.

The other end of the string seemed to be alive in the air, it only ran towards Xuan Min, swayed by his side twice, then accurately wrapped around Xuan Min's wrist, tied it several times, and tied a firm knot.

The moment it was formed, Xue Xian's solemn face suddenly relaxed, and he smiled silently with the corners of his mouth curled up, and said, "I've got you."
