When the mirror ends

"You've grown up too, obviously you were only as big as a slap when you saved me." Yi Tingyun looked at Wu Ling who had already been standing in front of the house waiting for him, his expression was like meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, with Some joy and nostalgia.

"Why did you come here? I thought you would never come near this house again." Wu Ling said.

"I really don't really want to come here, but I can't stay in this world for a long time, so I will come here to repay your favor." Yi Tingyun stretched out his hand in front of Wu Ling, and spread it to reveal the pendant inside.

The pendant is blue-green with streamers on it, making the texture very cold.

This pendant was what he begged from the demon spirit master, it was not a peace talisman, but an object that could end itself, it could end the immortal elves.

For thousands of years, every second of every day without having a self, such days should be over.

"Thank you." Wu Ling expressed her most sincere thanks.

It no longer has obsessions, and the reason why it is still here is only because he has no life, so naturally he has no death.

Such a thing is naturally the best for him.

This house could not be called a villa a long time ago.

It has been changing its shape with the changes of the times. At the beginning, maybe not at the beginning, but the first time it appeared in a certain shape was a man-made cave.

After that, there were many sharp wooden sticks in front of it.

Later, the gaps between the stones were filled with soil.

and then?

Then a thunderstorm knocked it out.

I don't know how long later, someone built a thatched hut in that place, but it was too windy and windy, and it soon collapsed.

After that, there will be no human visits for a long time.

Suddenly one day a human dug a hole there, a very big hole, so it knew for the first time that houses can still be built underground.

However, the parts of humans on the ground are poorly made, and rainwater often pours in, so they can only hide inside to avoid wild animals and strong winds during the rainy season.

Gradually, he stopped coming.

But a lot of small animals came to visit, and one day it became their home, and they never left it until one day they couldn't move outside.It knows that their eyes are facing this direction.

It thinks this kind of life is good, so it wants to be a place that can protect them.

But it can't do anything.

More and more fallen leaves piled up in the hole, some of which rotted with the rainwater, and then were covered by other leaves, and new small animals were unwilling to come.

It's lonely.

Probably many years later, someone passed by there and accidentally fell in, crawled out cursingly, and dug a lot of soil to fill it up.

Now, no one will pay attention to it...

It no longer stared at the outside world, motionless in the darkness.

Until one day, the logs were inserted into the soil closely, and it became a shelter again.

This time, we must protect everything that lives here, it thought.

The man who built this house has lived here for a long time, maybe a year, two years or five years. It doesn't know how humans measure time, but it knows that he is the human who lived here the longest.

But one day he disappeared without warning, one day, two days, ten days, 20 days... He never appeared again.

It thought it would not come back.

Is it not good enough?

But it still can't do anything. It obviously wants to block the gap in the window so that human beings don't have to suffer from the cold in winter, but it can't.

It stared at the cracks in the house and passed ten days like that.

A whole month later, the man came back with a beautiful woman.

They had three children in this house, two boys and one girl.

The children grew up day by day, and then left, and the busy house became very deserted.I don't know if it's an illusion, but it feels colder than when there were only men.

The woman is sick.

The man stopped laughing.

The woman died.

The man is crying.

Then the man sat in front of the house and didn't move for a long time.

One day he called a woman's name, then stood up and smiled.

It was left alone again.

It is a very poor house.

Otherwise why would they leave it?

After that, ten hunters stayed here for one night or one day and two nights.The last hunter stayed, and he mended the gaps in the windows, he repaired the roof and the door, and he built a fence around the house.

Does he really like it?

It is very happy to watch the hunter do various things every day.

But one day it suddenly felt that those struggling animals were very pitiful.

The hunter came back with a litter of foxes, eleven big and small.

It suddenly felt very uncomfortable. The little fox was very similar to the one in the litter of small animals that had been with it all the time, except that the eye was bright because it was happy; It was wet with tears, so its eyes were dark and shiny.

Suddenly a group of fluffy things jumped on its face, or it should be said that it fell on the little fox.

It turned into a small person, only as tall as an adult's palm, with a transparent golden light all over its body, and it floated up again.

The little fox saw it and stopped whimpering.

It tore away the rope that tied the little fox very hard, and pushed the door open a crack with great difficulty, all the foxes stopped barking, as if they were afraid that the hunter would be attracted back, and then the little fox would Being caught again, they looked at the little fox in unison.

The little fox ran away.

Out of the corner of his eye, the hunter who was chopping wood saw the little fox fleeing into the forest. He ran back to check the rope, closed the door, and piled up a log.

It went outside the house, but it couldn't move the log.

It was worn back, and the foxes all looked at it, but stopped calling.

Falling to the ground, it walked towards them.

The fox stuck out his tongue and licked its face.

The hunter came in with a knife.

The foxes' pelts hung in the yard for days, from the time it was sad until it was numb.

For the first time it doesn't like its owner.

It very much hopes that this human life will end soon.

After that, it also met many kinds of human beings, some were kind, some were cruel, some were greedy, some were disgusting...

And it also changed more forms, and grew up day by day, and later it could even change its own form without the help of human hands.

It is still waiting for its favorite owner to move in.

But it won't drive them away if they don't like it, because the meaning of a house is that it can provide shelter for people.

And what they mean to it...it doesn't care anymore.

Unknowingly, it transforms itself into a maze, and there is a road in it that only those who like it can pass through.

And the one who walks that way is its owner.

This is the only meaning it pursues that others have given it, which is not too much for a house spirit, but it knows that no one will get through it.

It doesn't know how long such a channel has existed, but it doesn't care anymore.

Outsiders have their own residence, no matter how perfect it is, it is just a passer-by for them, not a sustenance.And the former residents have no contact with it, so who will live there?

Those things that look like ghosts and people are just passers-by in its long years.

Although they are trying to live forever.

But longevity is impossible. In this world, only lifeless existence can live forever, spirits and rules.As for others, it is impossible for human beings within the cause and effect to obtain immortality anyway.

because they have lived forever.

But human beings have to compete even with themselves. They always want to extend the current life infinitely, even if they are reborn once, they are still them.

In addition to these, there are demons.

A demon has life, but an unfettered demon is immortal without external force, that is, immortal, which is a proposition that should not be true in this world.

But there are always various situations that lead to the appearance of the demon, such as its little fox.The little fox it saved, it cultivated into a demon.But that is painful, because endless life means endless pain, especially when all the loved ones and friends are disappearing one by one.

The little fox was already alone.

Regardless of whether longevity is good or bad for demons, the consciousness of the world still restricts such propositions that should not be established-they will bear karma, and if they do not pay off, they may be wasted to the end of their lives in this world.

Therefore, the little fox must leave this world that has left countless memories for it, otherwise it will only face perdition.Such a low-energy plane can no longer accommodate it, but if it goes to other planes, can it survive well?Living is endless torture.

However, all life is still trying to live.

Is this also the rule set by the world?It's so cruel, I want to live no matter what, even if I commit suicide, it's just to live better... Life is such a thing.

The house spirit turned the huge villa into nothing, and stood alone in the automatically restored mountain forest until all traces disappeared.

A young man and woman were gently placed by the side of the road by him.

And he also gradually dissipated and turned into fluorescent light, and his consciousness returned to nothingness.

On that day, the towns below the mountain were attracted by this grand fluorescent light, and people ran up to appreciate the spectacle brought by the mountain surrounded by thick fog all year round. Various sounds such as talking, laughing, and flashing lights were intertwined, covering the mountain There was a thin sobbing sound.

That feast of light lasted a full week.
