Overshadowing the sun is always a demon

"Master? Master..." The gentle call in the ear was like being wrapped in honey, charming enough but not frivolous.

"Oh, it's Lan Ruo... I must have fallen asleep just now." Fadu slowly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him gradually became clear from the blur.

"Yeah, it's rare to see Master sleepy, so everyone didn't come over to quarrel with you." The woman in front of her always smiled shyly when she spoke, and there was an indescribable charm in her gestures.

"What time is it now?"

Lan Ruo slowly twirled the wick and lit the lamp: "It's already passed the time."

Fadu turned his head and looked outside, the jasmine outside the window grew into layers of green shadows, the white flowers spread out sporadically, the raindrops beat the leaves and petals, and the gentle fragrance was slowly enveloping in the water.

Lan Ruo carefully lit the incense and put it on the table: "Master, I saw you smiling just now, did you have any good dreams?"

"Is it a good dream?" Fadu smiled wryly, but it was still silent after all.

The pavilions and pavilions in the distance are slowly dissolving in the mist and rain, one layer of mountains and rivers and one layer of buildings.

"By the way, Your Majesty came here last year. We saw that you were asleep, so we asked His Majesty to go back."

"He didn't make things difficult for you?" Fadu asked, "I thought Baoshu would definitely make a big fuss outside because of Baoshu's temperament."

"Your Majesty is really upset." Lan Ruo covered her mouth and smiled, "I told him that if the trouble continues, I'm afraid that Master will wake up and get angry and ignore him, so he will obediently go back to the palace."

"Now that the leader of Dangping's rebellious party has been put to death, there will be no more incidents in the court for the time being, so let Shao Baoshu come to me." Fadu nodded, "It's late at night, you go to rest first."

"Yes." Lan Ruo nodded, got up and closed the door and went out.

Fadu closed his eyes, the smell of heavy sandalwood lingered in his nose, but it couldn't overwhelm the fragrance of jasmine in the rain, just like his heart was in a mess tonight.

five years.

It has been five years since Fadu came here after Xiaobai pushed him out of the fantasy realm of Cultivation of God Sect.

At that time, he thought that he just happened to land in some location base, he just wanted to find the gate of life and death, and he just wanted to return to Xiaobai's side.After running wildly for more than ten days, he realized that he had crossed a thousand years of time and space and arrived in a completely strange world.

At that time, he was on the verge of collapse, and every time he thought of the world being erased and Xiaobai's smiling face, he was so anxious that he would go crazy.

Maybe it was psychologically prepared before, Xiao Tang's death was not unexpected by Fa Du, maybe death was actually a kind of relief for Xiao Tang.But Xiaobai's departure came too suddenly, Xiaobai's push did not push Fadu out of that world, but tore open an entrance in his heart, and then lived in it deeply.

The boy I met by the water has been following him every step of the way, calling out to worship him as his teacher.At that time, he was going crazy, Fadu didn't have the mind to deal with his entanglement, until the boy cried and said that he was hungry, Fadu suddenly woke up from the state of extreme confusion.

The young man in front of him was covered in stains, and he had long lost the brilliance he had when he first met him.

Even though he was more than ten years old, he sat arrogantly on the ground kicking his legs, crying like an overage baby.

Fadu was also dumbfounded by his crying, and he didn't know what to use to comfort him.

"Do you eat peaches?"

"Peach? Where is there a peach? There is only one peach core..." The young man watched in amazement as buds sprouted from the withered peach core, branches grew, leaves blossomed and flowers filled the tree, and finally it was covered with numerous fruits.

Standing under the peach tree, Fadu was covered with a faint golden glow, as if wearing the sunshine from the sky: "Don't cry, eat."

"Wow!" The boy jumped on him without any warning, and wiped his tears and snot all over his body: "I knew God would not treat me like this, you are here to save me! You are here to save me!"

It wasn't until later that Fadu found out that it was Xiao Qinye, the prince of Liang, whose nickname was Baoshu.

Like all court stories about power struggles, Baoshu was born of the most favored concubine in the palace. He was also clever and won the favor of the old emperor, which aroused the empress's jealousy and colluded with foreign ministers to frame the concubine. In the end, the mother and son ended up being expelled from the imperial capital.

In fact, the old emperor was also benevolent and righteous. At any rate, he made Baoshu a Huzhou king, and he was still a prince in size, and his food and clothing were provided on a monthly basis.Probably also under the instigation of others, they began to treat the mother and son poorly when they were on the way out, lacking food and clothing, and refusing to seek medical treatment under the pretext of rushing.When she arrived in Huzhou, Concubine De was already very ill and dying, but there was not a single hospital in the whole city who dared to treat her.

Baoshu had nowhere to ask, and heard that the lake god of Huasheng Pond in Nanshan responded to every request, so he climbed the wall in the middle of the night and wanted to worship the god.Just when he was lost and dizzy, Fadu just fell from the sky and stood on the water.

Bao Shusheng dragged Fadu back to save his mother, but on the day he left, Concubine De had gone away quietly, and she didn't even see her son for the last time.

Later, the old emperor passed away suddenly, and the eldest son of the emperor was obsessed with sensuality after he ascended the throne, and died suddenly within two years.Without a legitimate monarch, every force wanted to support its own power to grow bigger, so the baby emperors who were subsequently promoted to the throne all died in the conquest of power, and the shortest one reigned for only 16 days.

Until this time, no one remembered King Huzhou who had been exiled long ago.

Baoshu's first order when he returned to Dijing was to plant jasmine in the city.

The drizzle sprinkled the whole city one after another, like the overwhelming jasmine rain.

"Yi Xun...do you know...my mother and concubine loved Jasmine the most when she was born..." Baoshu desperately suppressed the tears in his eyes, "I have no relatives in this world anymore, you are my only one rely on."

At the beginning, Baoshu was only 13 years old, and Fadu refused to be his master, so he could only call Yi Xun brother over and over again.

Fadu occasionally recalled why he would answer Yi Xun when they notified each other of their names on the day they met. Perhaps it was just like Baoshu who would rather notify himself by his nickname than Xiao Qinye, it was a past that he did not want to bear.

When Baoshu returned to the imperial capital, he was already 17 years old. Standing on the top of the city gate and looking at the vast lands and mountains that already belonged to him, he suddenly omitted the word "brother".

Bao Shu paused and said: "Those who have hurt me, those who have hurt me, and those who owe me, from now on I will pay back one by one."

What Fadu read from his face was not only sadness, but also a fierce murderous look.

Fadu didn't want to live in the palace, so Baoshu arranged for him to live in the nearby Huguo Temple.Fadu refused to take over the position of abbot, so Baoshu gave him a leisurely service, where he could come and go at will without restriction, and he could come and avoid the royal fasting and sacrifices as he wanted.

Everyone knew that Emperor Liang Jing was very dependent on the monk who lived in the Huguo Temple. Sometimes a word from Fadu was far better than the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who tried to persuade each other with death.

Previously, when the new emperor ascended the throne, the political situation was unstable, followed by the Dangping Rebellion.Under the chaos of war, no one paid attention to the existence of Fadu for the time being, but when the chaos subsided, some people began to worry about Fadu's privilege.

No one knew that Fadu didn't want to get involved in those disputes. The only wish in his heart was to find the door of life and death and return to Xiaobai's side.He purposely distanced himself from Baoshu, just to seek peace and avoid the truth.Now it seems that the scenery is boundless, but who knows the desolation and helplessness in his heart.

noob……

Fadu stared intently at the flickering lights, he could only smile wryly.

It's been five years, and every time he thinks about this timeline, he feels extremely hopeless.

For the past five years, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the gate of life and death, but he has no clue.Under the combination of life and death, the brilliance is fully revealed. Anyone who picks it up will treat it as a rare treasure. Even if you search door to door, it is difficult to find clues.

The longer time passed, Fadu would realize more clearly that he could never go back.

Lan Ruo was an orphan picked up during the war. She was only 14 years old when she was picked up. Now she is too old to marry, but she still lives in this Huguo Temple to take care of Fadu's daily life.

It is said to take care of food and daily life, but in fact there is not much to take care of, because Fadu doesn't need to drink water to eat at all, and the reason why Lan Ruo is allowed to take it in and out every day is just because he doesn't want to be regarded as a monster.

Fadu asked Baoshu to arrange for Lan Ruo to find a good family several times, but Lan Ruo always refused to agree.Ke Lanruo is a woman after all, and she still caused a lot of gossip when she went in and out of the Huguo Temple, involving not only Fadu, but also Baoshu who had a close relationship with Fadu.

Besides Lan Ruo, there was an orphan named Xuexiu beside Fadu. This child was thrown out of the temple gate in a snowy day and was found frozen to death.After much hesitation, Fadu was saved, and later became Fadu's attendant.However, this child has his own temperament, and he is very interested in the literature and classics collected in the temple. He can stay in the library for several days if he plunges into the library.

The rain outside the house was exceptionally long, and Fadu had nothing to do, so he had to spread out the chess pieces and play against himself.This era is very boring, the usual pastime is reading books and playing chess, plus listening to Lan Ruo playing the piano, there is no progress in other things in the past few years, but the chess skills have improved a lot.

The monk's footsteps hurried past the corridor, although they were played very lightly, they were extremely clear to Fadu's ears.

"Did you hear that something strange happened in the east of the city?"

"It is said that two corpses were fished from the river. The blood in the body was sucked dry, and only skin and bones remained."

"... Then what kind of evildoer happened?"

"That's right, one of the dead is the son of Zhonglang General Wang, and today he sent a letter of worship, begging the abbot to go and collect the demons to avenge his son."

Fadu's chess piece tapped lightly on the chessboard.

After so many years, he has already gotten used to not being nosy anymore.The life and death of others has nothing to do with him, but the old abbot of the temple is old, and he often plays chess with him to relieve boredom, after all, he can't just watch him go into danger.
