Penglai delusion

Xi Mo noticed that Lu Jiayuan seemed to have gone crazy with their new truth-telling talisman.

He looked at Dong Yi, who shrugged and said, "Have you finished asking?"

"I'm done asking for now." Xi Mo threw the squid's whiskers on the ground, and reinforced the formation again, "But he is like this, I don't know if he can persist until the little uncle."

"It's just good to die. Brother Wen shouldn't care about it." Dong Yi said in relief.

Xi Mo pondered, "Didn't he say that his own flesh can stop madness? I think it's quite suitable for the current situation."

He took out the photo and confirmed it a bit, "Brother, are you going to kill us all?"

Lu Jiayuan looked at him with raised eyebrows, and gave a bloody smile, "How dare you, I was so hurt that I was just in a daze and talking nonsense. It would be great if Junior Brother had medicine to wake me up."

Xi Mo gave him a chestnut according to his words.I also saw Dong Yi crackling and pasting a bunch of charms on him.

"Little Palace Mistress, let's wake up alone. We will be guarding at the door. Remember to call three times if you have something to do."

Lu Jiayuan had a piece of talisman on his forehead, and he couldn't make a sound.

Dong Yi closed the door of the palace, and fanned Xi Mo, "Boss, looking at him like this, it is probably impossible to keep him. Waiting for Brother Wen to come back, let's figure it out and bury him on the spot."

Xi Mo said helplessly, "Second brother was joking again. Just buried like this, our elders and senior sisters may be forced to die."

Dong Yi coughed, "Of course I was joking, I just wanted to see if you are still clear, Boss."

Xi Mo paused, and said seriously, "Second brother is not sober. Now that things are going on, do you still want to call me the boss?"

"Then what else?" Dong Yi scratched his eyebrows, "Most bosses are emotional, who doesn't want to do it."

Xi Mo was noncommittal, and only said, "So the second brother will continue to stay in Penglai?"

"Well, good question. Thinking about it this way, I really don't need to go back. After all, I was hit by a stick to seek immortality." Dong Yi said solemnly, "Although I don't want to admit it, you probably You can guess it too—I, like a certain little palace lord in the palace, are eager to be a watchdog. Then when the mess here is over, I will also consider the matter of retiring."

"Second brother's words are wrong. You must not confuse them." Xi Mo said, "He is a dog of the Demon Sect, but you should be a very majestic stone lion."

Dong Yi chuckled, "Thank you, thank you, I accept this compliment!"

After speaking, he leaned against the ginkgo tree next to the gate of the temple, and took a palm-sized Sumeru gourd from his waist.

"Come on, don't sleep anyway, let's enjoy the fire together." Dong Yi waved his fan, swept the bare dead branches into a pile, picked up a ball of fire with his fingertips and threw it on, "I know you are so curious , simply be a good person for once, treat you to a drink, and then tell you a story."

The gourd contains the best pine mash.Dong Yi poured two rattan flower cups and took a sip first.Then Meizizi took out a handful of black beans from the bag, coated them with honey and coarse salt, took a piece of chicken feathers and turned them into a thin stone plate, put the processed beans on it, and set them on the fire to roast stand up.

Xi Mo took a sip of the wine in his glass, and suddenly felt that he was back under the fence outside Yanling City.He watched Dong Yi roast the black beans in silence, divided a few grains, and chewed them carefully.

Dong Yi's gourd is also a bottomless pit.

He drank three glasses by himself, and confronted Xi Mo three times, and he seemed to be drunk.This scratched my heart and told the story as promised.

"Many years ago, there was a bastard from the Xue family in Yanzhou, named Xue Nuo. The biological mother was a mixed race, and she was no different from ordinary people, but when she gave birth to him, she showed a strange appearance. After being discovered, she brought the newborn child together. kicked out of the house."

"After being a mixed blood, Xue Nuo was naturally abandoned by the Xue family, but he became the beggar king in the Xue family's name. With a pair of green eyes, the people in the city are very jealous, and he can always gain a lot."

"But one day, Xue Nuo still got his way. The group of people blocking him said that the wild boy blocked everyone's way of making money, and they wanted to give him a little pain. They probably heard that monsters are hard to kill, so they tortured him on purpose. First put a bunch of snakes around him to bite, and when he can't move, drive a nail into his heart."

Dong Yi stretched out two fingers and gestured a few times, "It's so long and thick, it made a bloody hole in my heart at that time, tsk tsk tsk, it hurts to death thinking about it now."

Scratching his heart again, he smiled and said, "But even though he was persecuted like that, Xue Nuo still didn't have the intention to kill. So he realized something was wrong, and found that the demon would restrain the killing instinct when facing people. Because when the killing intent floods, The spirit veins will tremble, as if warning that something more terrifying will happen if someone is killed."

He sighed, "Xue Nuo thought he was going to die like this, but unexpectedly, there is a real fairy resting in that ruined temple. A big man with flowery arms, with a bald head lazily emerging, and with a flick of a fan, those bad embryos are taken away." It was all blown away. Wow, Xue Nuo was really stunned. He didn't know any spells at that time, and he couldn't even hide the color of his eyes."

As he spoke, he plucked another piece of chicken feather and blew on it, forming a phantom bubble.

Bu Xing was shaking the feather fan, and said with a broken smile, "The fourteenth man of the Xue family has long admired his name. I wanted to find you in a few days, but I didn't expect such a coincidence. on."

Xue Nuo touched the solidified gap in his chest, showing a pale smile, "Thank you, hero, for saving me. If you were a few days later, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to find me."

He panted a few times, "It's time to change my name and move. No, the Xue family can't bear my troubles, so they deliberately made people punish me."

Bu Xing was startled, "Is this true?"

"Really." Xue Nuo gritted his teeth, "The Xue family punished me time and time again, and this time they want me to die again, but I don't admit it. For the sake of my mother, I will live even if I die."

Bu Xing nodded, his eyes showed appreciation, "Okay, it really is you."

Xue Nuo looked at him, but paused for a moment, and then sighed, "But if I can do it again, I just want my mother not to give birth to me. She wants me to be an upright person, and wants me to live well for her; but without me , she lives better."

Then he was slapped.

"Stinky boy, this slap is for your mother." Bu Xing frowned and said, "Before you said this, you were barely human. Since your mother wants you to be a man, you must be a good man."

The bubbles shattered, and Dong Yi's blue eyes shone brightly.He cleared his throat and continued, "It was the first time in Xue Nuo's life that he cried so hard. From the time of mother's death to the burial, all the tears he didn't shed all the time were shed at that time."

"Later, Xue Nuo followed the god. On the way, the god sighed and said that he was going back home this time to visit the descendants of his master. Unexpectedly, before arriving in Yanzhou, he was thundered by the fourteenth son of Xue's family. The big name hits the ears."

"Xue Nuo also knows that as a mixed blood, he has both spiritual veins and immortal bones. But due to the natural limitations of the monster race, no matter how hard he works, he can't cultivate the true king."

"But the gods said that the firefly of the rotten grass can also compete with the sun and the moon for glory."

"Yes, Xue Nuo's original body was yarrow, also known as undead grass, with very little demonic power, and a mixed blood that was half-decayed. But after that, he understood—rotten grass without light can also turn into a firefly and shine Yu Xiayue."

"Xue Nuo tried to collect his own fireflies to make talismans with special attributes. Because the gods said that although his body is a weak grass, it can be turned into light and can shine on others."

"Because of this, Xue Nuo has laughed at him countless times, saying that others may not be able to illuminate it, but it can illuminate your bald head."

"Ahem, please don't clean up so badly."

"But no matter how he was rubbed, Xue Nuo will always have a scar on his heart. This is the commemoration of his rebirth."

And Xi Mo just thought, is it true that a mixed race with love and righteousness will deliberately leave a stamp for himself as a commemoration?

Just like Mr. Cao's broken leg.

Both cups have bottomed out.Dong Yi shook the empty cup first, "I'm done talking, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Yes." Xi Mo picked up the gourd and filled it up for others, and said with a slight smile, "Xue Shishi, how did you become Brother Dong?"

Dong Yi grinned and said happily, "My old man came up with this name."

"Back then, he had a sweetheart named Dong Xuan. Before they got married, they agreed to have two children, one surnamed Bu and the other named Dong. Then Dong Xuan died of dystocia."

"After talking to me about this, the old man said—boy, since you think of a new name, you might as well take my wife's surname. Then I scratched my head, thinking that this means recognizing me as my son?"

"I thought again, forget it, he saved my life, and it's not impossible to give him a retirement pension. The old man spends money lavishly and doesn't keep half of it; I can only count carefully and fall into the eyes of money."

"Originally, I was a beggar leader. After I was lucky enough to meet the master of a peak, it was really a strong alliance. Even if I pulled the banner to bluff and cheat every day, the two of us still couldn't make ends meet. In order to save the old man's coffin book, I took all kinds of deductions and gave them back. He was so wronged. Thinking about it now, saving this money is so boring, it would be better to just let him sit and eat."

Dong Yi sighed with a smile, touched the chicken feather fan in his arms and said, "This is a magic weapon given by the old man, and the body is a mace. The photo-taking technique you saw tonight was also taught by him. It was just in case I didn't expect that it would really come in handy."

As he spoke, he fanned the wind, "At that time, he said that the calamity of the red star was his last calamity. After this calamity, he could become a true king. Now I want to understand that the red star of the red star is probably the answer It's on the red lotus pattern on Er Wu Zai's body."

After thinking about it again, "Although the old man doesn't believe in the black moon, he also knows that the man of destiny may be able to solve the disaster. After doing the divination for you, let me follow you, and say that you will do as you wish, and don't startle the snake."

"At the time, I thought, this man of destiny couldn't be met by such a coincidence. As a result, you have no bones, so I set my sights on senior brother. It's so easy to wait for him to come back, and I don't see it very often. After going round and round, I finally followed you. Tsk tsk, what kind of evil fate is this?"

After Dong Yi sighed, he turned his head and saw Xi Mo was silent in thought, so he poked him and said, "Hey, if you don't talk, are you afraid?"

He blinked his green fox eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, even though your second brother is a monster, he won't degenerate enough to really eat you."

Xi Mo knew that he was probably overdrawn by demon power, and his eyes couldn't go back, so he smiled, "Second brother, did I ever tell you that you always smile fakely."

Dong Yi snorted lightly, "What's the use of your sincere smile, it's not a bad stomach."

"I have practiced before." Xi Mo said seriously, "I was captured by the people of the Demon Sect and practiced as a slave. The monster who trained me said that the one with the best smile will be the best, and he can be sent to Luoxiao Palace to serve the suzerain."

"Hey! I can't see that you are still a professional." Dong Yi said, "May I ask what your grades are?"

"No achievements." Xi Mo slightly regretted, "I had set them up as a congratulatory gift and equipped them with gold and jade, just waiting for the succession ceremony to be held. All the monsters are very relieved of me. , so when I got the chance, I ran away without looking back."

"Good job!" Dong Yi laughed.

Xi Mo clinked glasses with him, "Later, I was saved by a benefactor, and I was favored by another gentleman, so I came to seek immortality."

After pondering for a moment, Fang stared and said, "But to this day, I always feel that this fairy way is not quite the same as I thought. Why can't my heart be truly separated from the outside world when I am in an outside world? Learning the method of detachment, but always entering the world to prove the way?"

Dong Yi smiled, "Then let me ask you, why did you come to cultivate immortality?"

Xi Mo was silent for a moment, and only said, "To avenge the family."

"All over the world, people seek immortality not for detachment, but for liberation." Dong Yi said, "If it is not for the relief of worries, how can anyone want to cultivate immortals? How can the joy of longevity be compared to being happy with relatives and friends ? If they were happy enough, who would leave their homes and seek help from Laoshizi's immortal?"

Xi Mo sighed softly, "People are greedy, they want to pursue happiness, and they want to hold happiness in their hands, so that they can be happy forever."

"The end of a long life is not happiness." Dong Yi shook his head, "Happiness is always fleeting. If it is not short-lived, it is not happiness."

He said firmly, "Even a fairy cannot hold joy in his hands forever."

Xi Mo was startled, "Is that so?"

Dong Yi nodded, "No matter how many lives there are, pain will always outlast joy."

"But so what. In the long suffering, we have the hope of pursuing joy, so that we can keep going." The warm wind blowing from the bottom of his fan, "We must always look forward."

Xi Mo followed and nodded.

The sky has turned white.In the bleak mist of dawn, a figure slowly walked towards them.

"Little uncle, you are here." Xi Mo stood up, "He is locked inside."

Wen Xu slightly lowered his eyes, frowned at the roasted beans in the fire, and walked away abruptly.
