snatch the fox

★The soul is incomplete, so what do I ask for, and I will stay with you in the next life. ★

……

"Meihan Xiangxue goes back in winter, peaches are full of flowers in spring... This is the poem of young master Xiaoyan."

His bony hands picked up the rice paper with wet ink in front of him, and read softly.

Shen Linyan raised his eyes, and said indifferently: "Why, I don't look like the young master Xiaoyan?"

Xie Qingtan tilted his body and leaned against the table, looked him up and down, smacked his lips and shook his head:

"How do you act like a flirtatious dandy? Besides, that young master, Xiaoyan, is not bad in terms of talent and literary talent, and his light work is also good, but his reputation..."

"It's just notorious, there's no need to be reserved, I don't care."

Xie Qingtan was stunned for a moment, leaned on the table and looked closer, and sighed half-jokingly and half-seriously: "When I first met you, I didn't want to say a word. Now that I've been here for a long time, I'm good at making troubles~ What? , still refuse to let him go, right?"

"If I remember correctly, this is the first time we've met." Shen Linyan frowned, subconsciously frowned, and said impatiently, "Are you familiar with me?"

Unexpectedly, when Xie Qingtan heard the words, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a strange face, probing: "3000 years ago, Xie Linyuan..."

Shen Linyan lowered her eyes, and the veins in the hand pressing the center of her eyebrows throbbed violently.

"I've been born in the fox family for more than a thousand years. I went down the mountain to collect medicine and passed through Fuze 500 years ago. I saved Xie Linyuan who was injured under the cliff. That's all."

"Others won't make it easy for me, and I won't do what others want! Didn't the heavens value him, Xie Linyuan, who made such a big mistake and didn't kill him..."

Xie Qingtan's eyes fell on him inadvertently, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he shook the rice paper between his fingers, the flowing lowercase script seemed to come to life.

"We met 500 years ago? Heh~ But look at what this is~ Forgot who taught you this good handwriting? Forgot who knew you were good at the piano. Every time you were ordered to go down to the world to catch monsters and make inspections, you would never forget to bring a Zhang Haoqin, while you're not here, silently put away the desk in your house?"

"Shen Linyan, you and Xie Linyuan have known each other for thousands of years, and the fate is more than a thousand years old... Yuelao is soft-hearted. Although the red line was snatched by force, he really didn't fool him~"

Xie Qingtan picked up the silver with the other hand, and picked up the lamp oil sideways to fiddle with the incense, filling the room with smog.

"fate……"

Shen Linyan sneered, and suddenly snatched back the rice paper in Xie Qingtan's hand, brushing the fox fire with her fingertips and instantly burning it to ashes.

"I don't know what fate is. Since I was reincarnated as a fox, what has happened to me in the past? If I can't remember, it's God's will. I have no intention of disobeying, and I don't bother disobeying."

"Yo~ He Xie Linyuan is still so capable? If you take away your memory, you won't make the same mistakes if you respect the sky? Your fate is weird. Even if you have meritorious service in the heavens, relying on the amnesia of reincarnation is delusional to eliminate the heavens' feelings towards you. Be wary, is it possible?"

Shen Linyan suddenly felt cold all over.

He has never been to the Heavenly Court of the Heaven Realm, the place that all the people of the clan yearn for, and when he thinks of it, he feels inexplicably repulsed.

Xie Qingtan's vaguely harsh words kept appearing alternately with the voice in his head, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream, and the humming was so painful that it was about to explode.

The voice that I couldn't get rid of in the nightmare.

Majestic, calculating, moody...

——So what can you do?The Heavenly Court is the place where all things are ruled, even if it lasts for thousands of years, it cannot escape the word surrender.

"Everything sends three souls to form a womb to give birth to seven souls, which can be concentrating and discerning into form...Shen Linyan, where are your souls and souls? If you tell me, I will let you go, and Xie Linyuan will never find you again." Your tracks."

——Taibai once joked that your soul can live to the death of human flesh and bones, what's more, after the ghosts, ghosts, snake gods, mandrills and ghosts get your soul, you can wash the marrow and shape it, and with the aid of strange magic, you can live forever in the immortal body and Taoism. Immortal class... Tell me, how can the heaven allow you to exist in the world and mess with my heavenly law?

"How? Xie Linyuan, if you don't want to go back, why don't you stay here, I promise, before Xie Linyuan finds you, I can help you find the lost soul, whether it's revenge or revenge, you really don't want to repeat Go back to the heavenly realm and turn him upside down?"

—he woke up?

--Um.

——He has made great achievements in suppressing the rebels from the heavens. Since he was allowed to recuperate in the mansion, how could he allow you to come here?

——He lost his sight for a while, and I said I was going to have a drink at the torture platform before Yuan Zheng left, but he didn't follow.

——Did you decide?

—Take the soul and change the life... You can't save Yuan Zheng, if you want to unify the worlds, you can't lose his chess piece.And I can be used by you but not controlled by you, isn't it what you planned to take this opportunity to make me lose my soul and destroy my cultivation base?

——It’s good to know it well, why bother to talk about it.

——You've put in so much effort just to force me to nod myself...Okay, you want to save face, I'll follow you.Now, at the price of one soul and one soul, I would like to exchange your chess pieces to escape this catastrophe, help you unify the world, eliminate internal troubles and calm external troubles, you should give me freedom.

——No, even if you promise to retire, even if you sacrifice your soul to save him, so what?One matter is another matter, if you don't let go of your soul for a day, you will be a big disaster for the heavens after all!

——I, Shen Linyan, am I a catastrophe in the heavens, or a stepping stone in your way?As I said, as long as you are righteous and evil, I will not touch you.

——It’s killing you, so why worry about it?He won't know all of this, he can't even find someone to ask where you are buried... There must be a cause and effect, I will punish you for the things he did to you, go at ease... It is the freedom that the emperor allows you.

——Erasure of my existence..."freedom"?There is no reincarnation, the soul is gone... Heh!I should not believe in fate!If I can go back to the past, I will not believe in Pei Yuanzheng, I will not believe in you, let alone him, Xie Linyuan!

——If you want to regret it, you should regret that you were too naive to let Xie Linyuan trick you out of the broken mountain that protected you. Now that the world is set, Shen Linyan, you are useless.And he Xie Linyuan has a long way to go~

……

His eyes were wide open, and he gradually became sober, his heart was beating violently, and the voice of that person seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

"Awake? How does it feel to go back to the previous life~"

Not far away, the man leaning on the grand teacher's chair smiled strangely, looking at himself who was uncertain.

He glanced at the incense burner that Xie Qingtan was fiddled with.

Wiping the blood stains from the corner of his mouth casually, he directly tore off the red sleeve gown at the corner, setting the fox on fire with disgust, as if rejecting the voice in the dream, then he closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair behind him: "That's just a fantasy!" It’s just the temptation caused by incense, do you think I will believe it?”

"Believe it or not, I can't help but say that memory will not lie. It is the most profound existence, and no one can erase it, not even gods and Buddhas."

Shen Linyan's face turned pale, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, and his veins twitched violently.

"In the end what you want?"

"Where is your lost soul?"

"Aren't you the one who Shi Huanxiang? Since you lured me into the dream, it was to spy on one or two things. Now that the dream is interpreted, why do you still ask me from the beginning to the end?"

This time it was Xie Qingtan's turn to look unhappy, and his tone became sharp:

"You don't need to use this to provoke me. I naturally understand the gap between me and you. Huanxiang only controls you to dream, and I lost my 300 years of cultivation. How can I peek into dreams? I still have things to do, and I can't use my cultivation. Putting my life on here... I'm not as stupid as you!"

"I don't want to mention what happened back then. The only thing I can tell you is Shen Linyan."

"What do you mean!"

"The current Shen Linyan is just a firefox in the mountains, and he doesn't want to provoke those right and wrong."

"Destiny is like this, you can't even hide! So what if you reincarnated as a fox? You are the key to check and balance the heavens handed down from ancient times. Even if you lose your soul, you can't obliterate your existence. Xie Linyuan has a good eye, and he didn't resolutely bet on you. Going to die, but degrading yourself to the mortal world."

"impossible!"

"How is it impossible? Why do you think he would come to see you 500 years after your present... When your power recovers, you will be reincarnated as a fox and you will recruit Nine Tails. Even if you were not a fox in your previous life, your power will not deceive you." People, especially people like you...you can't hide the secrets that you are still in the world, so how can you keep yourself safe?"

"..."

"Xie Linyuan is Bi Fang, one of the top ten mythical beasts in ancient times, you know that? A famous general who once made great military exploits is also an auspicious existence in the world. Why is he now a symbol of fierce beasts and disasters that everyone talks about? Are you curious?"

"So what, he goes his way, I go mine!"

Shen Linyan poured a glass of water irritably, drank it all in one gulp, and turned his face away.

"It's easy for you to stay out of it~" Xie Qingtan sneered, "Xie Linyuan once lost control, and the Heavenly Emperor couldn't help it, so he had to send someone to temporarily restrain him in the Yu Clan. The sea of ​​fire burned beyond recognition, like a purgatory on earth, and the source of the fire disaster began here."

"What's so good about him? If you're worried about no one to take care of your heirs, I think the daughter of the Zhang family is pretty good. If you really like her, I'll be a matchmaker for you~ If you don't like a woman, there are many in the Zhang family...Do you want to watch it or not?" feel~"

"roll!"

This not-so-unpleasant conversation finally ended on Shen Linyan's teacup, which fell to the ground in rage.

Xie Qingtan waved his fan proudly and left.

……

The next day, Xie Qingtan sent a message.

Xie Linyuan is here.

Walking on the road, he was top-heavy, and felt that all this was more like a dream than before. He calmly pushed the door, stepped over the threshold, raised his eyes, and was captured by a pair of familiar eyes.

At this moment, Xie Qingtan's last words unconsciously appeared in his mind.

"He Xie Linyuan didn't hesitate to violate the rules of heaven, and he still ran around in a maddened state, so that the world was burned by the sea of ​​fire, and the people were displaced by the fire disaster, in order to find those so-called souls who were scattered in all walks of life with little hope—the The soul of the man who took everything away."

Take everything away...?

The man opposite didn't show much reaction on his face, he was still sitting upright on the guest seat, and his eyes fell on him and then moved away after a while.

On the contrary, Xie Qingtan in the main seat warmly greeted him to take his seat.

Facing the expressionless Xie Linyuan, Shen Linyan drank his tea quietly, pretending that he didn't exist.

"Where did I just say... Oh, yes! My little brother is not in good health. I heard that he is very familiar with a wonderful doctor who lives on the mountainside. Since Brother Xie is temporarily staying on the mountainside, I wonder if I can invite him A doctor came to examine him?"

Xie Linyuan skipped him, and directly glanced at a certain roof outside the hall.

Hearing an embarrassing clearing of his throat, a figure leaped off the roof at an extremely fast speed, landed lightly, and walked for a while before stopping on the door outside the hall. threshold.

Shen Linyan stared at the twitching person at the door, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Gu Xiuyun?"

The man glared at him immediately, and was immediately given a "Xiu Yun" on the spot.

Like lightning strikes, and then shivered, Gu Xiuyun turned around and wanted to run.

"You stop for me!"

The man froze his pace, thinking he couldn't move anymore, so he had to froze and froze in a dilemma.

Xie Qingtan stared at the man's back obsessively until he came back to his senses, and his voice became much calmer: "I know it's hard to get rid of ghosts, but now I have a clue, why are you still avoiding me!"

"Don't underestimate the monsters! The lifespan of people in the ghost world is not short...I leave because I don't want you to fall into it again! You will be sent away if you kill people. You will not only harm yourself, but also harm you." I!"

After Gu Xiuyun finished speaking, he turned his head abruptly, stared at him firmly, and slowly shook his head with tears in his eyes:

"Qingtan, don't be stupid, you are a fairy, I am a ghost... I don't expect to live the same life with you, I only hope to be with the person I like in the remaining days, but you are addicted to alchemy and immortality every day, Talking to me is too much, is it interesting to argue day after day?"

"I don't want to watch you die!"

"You don't know that although we live longer than ordinary people, we are not immortal after all. I have recognized it after life and death. You said that alchemy is for my own good, but I feel that I am getting farther and farther away from you...Qingtan, Have you forgotten how difficult it was to be with me?"

"I haven't forgotten..."

Gu Xiuyun stepped forward and put away his playful expression.

"Then let Shen Linyan go, and don't make any more plans to seize the soul."

"Why!" Xie Qingtan's eyes turned red instantly, like a beast on the verge of eruption after being injured, "Even you don't understand my intentions! Well... you forced me!"

Xie Qingtan's movements were quick, he held him hostage and floated into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he had been placed under the blade of the sword, and he shouted at Xie Linyuan:

"Didn't you search hard for thousands of years to gather his soul into a fox? Although one soul and one soul are missing, at least you can say that you can laugh, right? You say you are stupid, and you are not stupid if you are resurrected." Recognize you, still chasing Pei Yuanzheng relentlessly...you should!"

Under the hanging feet, he saw Xie Linyuan standing there quietly and raised his head, the turbulent chill in his eyes was the coldest he had ever seen before.

Gu Xiuyun at the side became anxious, pulling the expressionless Xie Linyuan to what he was talking about.

He looked up at the sky.

If that dream is real, then the present heaven can still accommodate his existence?

"Thank you Qingtan."

"If you have any last wishes before you die, I promise you, please say so!"

"Can my soul really live to the death?"

Xie Qingtan looked down at Xie Linyuan, and smiled meaningfully: "What do you think?"
