Overshadowing the sun is always a demon

In fact, Xiaobai didn't want to go out at all, and was dragged out by Fadu.

When he walked into the freight elevator, Xiaobai frowned even more. The main elevator looked cleaner anyway. It had been many years, and the walls of the freight elevator were still pasted with various advertisements pasted during the renovation, layers of mottled and peeling off , just like psoriasis, this is obviously a crueler challenge for Xiaobai, who is obsessed with cleanliness.At first Fadu thought he would rather die than follow, but he hesitated for a while, and finally went in.

"Xiaobai, look at these buttons." Fadu felt even more elated as he took the first step in the Long March.

Xiaobai glanced at it disdainfully, and snorted coldly: "What are those ghostly symbols on it?"

"...that's Arabic numerals."

"Who is Arabia?"

"...That's not the point!" Fadu tried to be persuasive, "This is 1, this is 2, 3, 4, 5, we live on the 6th floor, you can just press 6 from now on, the elevator will run to the 6th floor, and then open the door..."

"Why should I learn these things?"

"If you're stuck again, try pressing this button to open the door..."

Xiaobai growled, "Shut up!"

"It's my business whether to talk or not, and it's your business to listen or not." Fadu ignored his fury, and explained the operation method of the elevator as if he was talking to himself.

Although Xiaobai looked disdainful, his eyes were still looking at the elevator operating panel. Fadu knew that Xiaobai had a strong curiosity and his learning speed was amazing, but he just couldn't get rid of it.

Fadu took Xiaobai up and down to test the operation of the elevator, but Xiaobai kept silent. Fadu pretended that he still didn't understand, so he repeatedly explained the operation method like teaching a child, and those ghostly drawn Arabic symbols Number means.

"I'm not a three-year-old child, can I be so wordy?" Xiaobai couldn't bear it anymore, went over and pressed 1, and then went out first on the first floor.

"Ahem...you're learning so fast, and when I'm not around, you can go out to relax at any time..." Fadu coughed twice, trying to relieve his embarrassment, but Xiaobai ignored him at all.

It was still raining heavily outside, and the dense rain covered the sky and covered the sky. Neither of them had an umbrella, so they could only sit on the chairs at the door of the building and look out.Usually those few chairs are specially for the elderly to bask in the sun and hang out in front of the dragon. It is somewhat awkward for the two of them to sit there.Fortunately, the security guard on the night shift had been replaced. The young man looked at the two of them with his head, and without saying anything, he retracted his head and continued to play with his mobile phone.

Fadu didn't know what Xiaobai was looking at, but he didn't speak, and Fadu felt that he had nothing to say, so he simply stayed silent with him.Just when he felt that he was about to fall into samadhi, he heard Xiao Bai calling him.

"Fado."

"Well, what?" Fadu opened his eyes, and saw Xiaobai staring at him blankly at a glance. Even though he wore contact lenses to cover up his diamond-shaped snake eyes, when he stared at people, he still had a smile on his face. A frightening penetration.

"You look a little like him."

"Him? Who? Oh... you mean Yi Guoshi?" Fadu quickly realized that with Xiaobai's unsociable personality, he didn't have many friends around him thousands of years ago, except Yu Yu. God, he only mentioned Yi Guoshi alone.

Xiaobai didn't reply, so it was taken as a default.

"How am I like him?" Fadu was also full of curiosity. Ever since he saw Yi Guoshi's hand scroll in Huasheng Temple, he always felt that this person was not as greedy for vanity as Xiaobai said. And the miracle that Yi Guoshi had done long ago has far surpassed the cognition of the world, even now, he is really a remarkable genius.

"He's also so nosy and stubborn and doesn't listen to advice."

Fadu laughed: "It sounds like he is quite similar to me, and he must be a kind-hearted person."

"On the contrary, he kills decisively and shows no mercy to all beings who do evil. It is much more satisfying than your blind woman's benevolence."

Fadu shook his head again and again: "Doing so violates the creed of a monk, it is a sin."

"Blindly benevolent and exhorting may not lead people to be kind. Sometimes it is more effective to stop killing and replace violence with violence. If you kill one person to protect more people, it is a good deed."

Fadu had no choice but to say, "You're obviously making unreasonable words..."

"It was also raining heavily that day, and he ran over from a long way to hold my hand, as if he was a good friend who had known me for a long time."

Fadu nodded: "Even if he recognizes the wrong person, it must be a good relationship."

Xiao Bai replied: "No, I just thought it was a lunatic at that time."

Fadu: ...

"Yu Tian and Yunhu and I met at Luoshui Wind and Rain Pavilion to have a drink and get drunk. At that time, Yunhu was already drunk, half human and half tiger. I thought that monk would be frightened, but I didn't expect him to see After realizing it, I was not surprised at all, and felt that this person was interesting, and then I found out that he was actually a national teacher." Xiaobai paused, "The longer we get along, the more I admire his amazing talent. He is obviously just a mortal. , but he is proficient in heaven and earth numeracy, and the Huasheng Temple he built has become the most astonishing miracle in the world."

After so many years, Xiaobai still seems to be proud when talking about the past. After being imprisoned for a thousand years, Xiaobai's memory of Yi Guoshi seems to be far beyond hatred.

"Then why...are you sealed under the Demon Suppressing Tower?" Fadu asked in the spirit of which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted. He thought that Xiao Bai would not talk to him at all, but unexpectedly Xiao Bai laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" He smiled so strangely that Fadu's hair stood on end.

"Didn't you have a legend of the White Snake on that thing called your TV?"

Fadu scratched his head, completely unaware of what he meant by suddenly mentioning an irrelevant TV series.

"I once had a younger sister who was rescued by humans just like in that play. At that time, she had just attained 500 years of Taoism and could transform into a human form, so she also repaid her favor like the white snake in this play."

"and then?"

Xiaobai lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and turned to look at the heavy rain outside: "The demon race is usually quite beautiful after taking shape, and humans are easily bewitched."

Fadu looked at Xiaobai carefully, and then nodded affirmatively. Xiaobai, as a male, looks like this. If she was a female at that time, she should be called a beauty.

"The previous paragraph is not much different from the one on TV, except that she is not married to a scholar, but to a downcast prince who was exiled far away. At first, the prince was fascinated by her and loved her, and soon became pregnant. A combination of a human and a demon Going against the law of heaven, her fetal gas has been unstable several times and she was on the verge of miscarriage, so she asked me to find a way to keep her child. I always disapproved of her combining with humans without authorization, so I ignored it. Unexpectedly, she found it again Yi Guoshi finally saved the fetus with various elixir, but his body is getting weaker and weaker due to the wasting of true energy."

Fadu's brows became tighter and tighter, why did the story become more and more wrong the more he heard it?

"The gestation period of snakes is much shorter than that of humans. There have been rumors from the prince's family that she was pregnant before she was not a woman. The prince began to be suspicious, but she refused to listen and insisted on giving birth to the child. When it was time to give birth, the prince Hearing Po Wen’s screams and bringing someone in to visit, she was so frightened that she fainted.”

"Could it be... that the White Snake in the story appeared at this time?"

"No, at that time, although her body had been completely exhausted, she still maintained the appearance of a human being, but the fetus was in the body of a half-demon, with a human head and a snake body covered in white scales, and even the tongue in its mouth was a snake letter. "

Fadu couldn't speak, just imagining the situation was already extremely horrifying, if he saw it with his own eyes, no one could bear it.

"After the lord woke up, he immediately ordered her to be thrown into prison. She probably didn't expect that the half-demon would look like this when she was born. At that time, she still hoped that the lord would care about the relationship between husband and wife, and kept holding the child quietly. Waiting. When the prince sent someone to pick up the child, she thought things had turned around, but she didn't expect that the news that the prince had personally killed the child came. She broke out of the prison in despair and wanted to kill the prince. Seek help from Yi Guoshi, and hide in the Huasheng Temple where the Guoshi is..."

In Fadu's head, a chord was struck like lightning: "Is it true that the Jinshan Temple is flooded with water?"

"At that time, she was already exhausted, and she died after she came to report to me. I was the one who flooded the seven cities and eighteen towns of the prince's territory."

Fa Du felt cold.

Watching Xiaobai eat snacks and watch TV dramas every day, he has already forgotten that this person in front of him is still a different kind.Even if there is a reason for the incident, and the flood is caused by personal grievances to create disasters, he can only be a frightening monster after all.

"and after?"

"Later? I don't know." Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, "After the mood gradually calmed down, the years under the tower became less difficult. When I slept and woke up, the time passed."

"Then Yi Guoshi hasn't visited you again?"

"Don't say it's him, everyone knows that the heinous monster is under the tower. The monks who guard the demon tower have changed from batch to batch, but no one has dared to approach me. For thousands of years, I have been silent Live in silence until ignorance arises..."

"My master?" Fadu asked curiously, "What did my master do?"

Xiaobai shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention it, but there was a cold and contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fadu knew that he didn't want to talk about being ignorant, so he brought the topic back: "Having been trapped at the bottom of the tower for so long, you really don't hate Yi Guoshi at all?"

"It's been so long, the hatred has faded long ago, even his appearance faded..." Xiaobai's rare sentimentality, "I don't know what kind of ending he will have in the end, but the country is in decline and Huasheng Temple is in decline , presumably will not end well. But there is one thing you should really take as a warning."

"what's up?"

"Meddling people generally end badly."

Fadu: ...

"Haven't you been looking up vague things? Do you have a clue?" Xiao Bai said suddenly.

Fadu shook his head dejectedly. Even though he had found the Tang family, the clues he had obtained were still very few, and it had nothing to do with Mumu. His investigation so far should be regarded as an extreme failure.

"You don't need to investigate any more." Xiao Bai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I already know how he died."
