Cultural Relics Are Not To Be Messed With

After hearing his question, Long Ya didn't answer immediately, but raised his hand to extinguish the two candles, led Qi Chen directly to the roof of the ancient building, and stood on the sloping eaves.

Although Qushan is not a towering and famous mountain, it is also the highest point of Xishi City. Standing on the roof of the ancient building overlooking it, the suburbs of Xishi City are surrounded by hundreds of miles. It is a dark piece, only occasionally dotted with some sporadic houses and lights, sparsely, It was very quiet.

Without the cover of the city's lights that lasted all night, the gold-like stars in the sky became particularly obvious.

Qi Chen had never stood in such a place, looked at the night sky from such an angle, and was so shocked that he almost forgot the question he just asked.

Long Ya folded his arms, turned his head and glanced at him, then turned his gaze back into the vast night, and said, "Aren't you stupid? I said it's only fun to look at it like this. There's no cover on it. Every time I used to pull You have to use invitations when you come up, you are lazy, and you like to nest in the dilapidated pavilion on the second floor, saying that it is only interesting to look at the stars from a distance by leaning on the railing... fart! I am too lazy to climb the roof, and I am determined not to stand when I can sit on."

Qi Chen looked at the night sky and listened to Long Ya's babbling and complaining, and couldn't help a little smile from the corner of his mouth - he always felt that the self in his previous life was far away and untraceable, and even if someone mentioned it, it was like listening to a stranger. Like a human story, he was more curious than emotional. Only after hearing these few complaints did he feel for the first time that his previous life was not so far away and strange. At least his temper was still there, and it was a virtue to be lazy.

There are some broken stars in the distance whose light is uncertain, always flickering for a while, Long Ya raised his chin at that one, and said to Qi Chen: "You told me before, although you don't know if you are a real evil star The lower realm, but one thing is the same as the evil star, that is, there are times when it is bright, and there are times when it is dark, and if it appears, it will naturally hide, and it will fall one day."

Qi Chen turned his head to look at him, but Long Ya still looked at the distant place and his eyes did not move. He squinted his eyes and continued: "I never asked where did you know this nonsense, but you can almost count it if you don't ask." ...We—let’s count them as ghosts and ghosts, we have always been in a very light way of getting along. In fact, you should be able to see that during the time you have been in Guanghe, even after thousands of years, there are not many interactions with each other. For example, we, the bald donkey in Huijia, and the group of bull-nosed Taoist priests on Yundu Mountain, even the special place with the widest control, rarely move around on weekdays. To be precise, this is the virtue in the three realms of heaven, earth and man. Because Each has its own rules, different ways of doing things, and different areas of jurisdiction. Since ancient times, it has been used to be clear and clear, each sweeping the door. To put it a bit vaguely, each has its own destiny and tasks, your crazy thoughts It probably came from here..."

Qi Chen did feel what he said, as if he felt that Longya, Shan Xiao and the abbot Huijia should have a good relationship, but except when they had business to do, they would ask the master for help, other times they rarely went there Wanling Temple.

Sometimes it seems that the friendship between ghosts and spirits like them is weaker than water.

"However, you have been carrying the name of the evil star and evil god, and you have confined yourself on the one-acre land on the top of the mountain like exile. If you have nothing to do, you will never go down the mountain, and you will have less contact with others. Later, you saved many souls. , the reputation is gradually getting better, and the descending is a little more frequent, and some bold ones will even come up the mountain to ask you to take a walk when they have nothing to do. The number of times is increasing, and the name of "soul officer" is gradually called "spirit officer". When you come out, although you can't cover the "bad star", you can ride together anyway. But even when you go down the mountain, you always put on an air of alienation, talk to everyone indifferently, polite but not familiar, it is simply not Don't get "Stay away from strangers" engraved on your face anymore, turn around and leave after saving someone, and you are faster than anyone else when stalking people, as if those people are not chasing after your ass to be grateful but want to bombard you Yes! At that time, you, Qushan, I would come up from time to time to see if you were too lazy to die in the building."

"You don't think I'm cold?" Qi Chen asked curiously.

"Dogs hate it." Long Ya glanced at him, and said mockingly: "Not only is it cold, but also boring, and you don't know what you are thinking all day long. When I first met you, I thought you were putting on airs , I can’t let go of my figure, and I love to pretend by nature. After a long time, I understand that you are lazy! You don’t want to move when you have nothing to do. You probably feel satisfied after saying what you want to say in your head. Opened his mouth with great effort and made a sound, he looked like a gentleman and a dog, but he was actually lazy to the bottom of his bones, what an arrogant ass!"

"Then how did you endure it?"

Long Ya snorted through his nose, and said lazily: "I am grateful. And I don't like to hang out with people who are bluffing. My brain hurts when I hear them chatting nonsense, you It's clean here. And—"

He paused, and said: "You were born to save your soul from calamity, and I am a demon sword, a weapon... You know, the murderous aura is heavy, and we are walking the way of stopping killing by killing. Sometimes I kill a lot, and some people can't control themselves, and I can relax by staying with you for a few days."

Listening to what he said, Qi Chen thought of Long Ya leaning against the wall like that when he was in the workshop trying to make bones, checking things with his mobile phone, and he didn't complain about being bored for a whole day.

Probably... I'm really used to it.

"But later, I found out that you are lazy for a reason." Long Ya said again: "Every time you come back from the mountain, you will become more lazy. You can always sleep for a long time. You can't sleep well but you can't wake up. At first I thought You have this problem, and I later realized that it is not that simple. The peaceful life in the world has not passed a hundred years, and then it began to turn upside down again, with wars everywhere and disasters. In the past, people who saved a small soul could not see the change, but when the big disaster came , your changes were particularly obvious. At that time, you went down the mountain for a day or two, and it took months. It’s not until the end of autumn, but I wish I could wrap myself in three layers of airtightness, and then sleep in the dark for half a month. How can I look like an evil star when I curl up in a ball! I think about it every time. Drag you down the mountain with your bed to show the public, and see if those demons, gods and ghosts will walk around you after seeing your cowardly appearance!"

Qi Chen: "..."

"At that time, I kind of understood what you said 'there is always a time to fall', because after every catastrophe, your loss is very large, and it will take a long time to recover—" Long Ya stopped talking After a while, he continued: "But because I can always recover, I thought it was still far away from the time of falling. Maybe one day my dragon tooth knife is broken again, and you can still live in a decent way. Nest on the top of this mountain, listen to the rain and drink tea, and rely on it for thousands of years. But in the end... I haven't found the missing part of the blade, and you have reached your limit."

When he said this, his eyes fell on a certain point in the vast night sky, and he squinted slightly, as if he was looking at hundreds of years ago through the broken gold-like galaxy: "At that time, the world coincided with the change of dynasty. At that time, natural disasters and man-made disasters have never stopped. At that time, there was a problem in the boundary. Let alone meddling in other people's affairs. I was also called back at that time, and I couldn't be free for a whole day. Of course I couldn't go to Qushan. I only heard that because of the half-collapse of reincarnation, the accumulation of karma in the world, the suffering The resentment and fierceness were not resolved in time, so that the world was turned upside down, and good people became bloodthirsty, manic, and gloomy. It happened that there was a war again, and the chaos was added to the chaos. It belongs to your burden, you will inevitably have to go down the mountain. The turmoil lasted for ten years, and when I finally got out of my body to go to Qushan, the human world just returned to normal. I remember it was late spring and early summer, you But I wrapped it in fox fur, which shocked me. It was also that time, I accidentally found four blood spots on your heart, and the meridians around the blood spots were clearly visible, lying on your heart like a spider web. "

Qi Chen listened to the description and imagined the scene, and couldn't help frowning, feeling a little panicked.

Long Ya glanced at him and said: "Sounds scary? It doesn't look much better... I asked you what happened to the blood spot, and you said that it has been there for a long time. Every time there is a catastrophe in the world, There will be one more blood point in your heart, and four blood points will grow together. When the blood in the heart and mouth are connected together, it is the time when your life is exhausted..."

"Four o'clock?" Qi Chen was stunned and said, "So at that time—"

Long Ya let out a "hmm" and said, "Tell me, when it's four o'clock, you should enter reincarnation, and when you're reborn as a human, probably...you won't recognize me."

He was silent for a while after he finished speaking, and then said: "You also said that if you have nothing to do after reincarnation, then don't bother looking for you. You are lazy and want to take a good rest. When you have enough rest, you will naturally come to us .”

Qi Chen: "..." Why do these words sound so——

"Listen, is what you're talking nonsense?! Huh?" Long Ya snorted coldly and said, "If I don't say that, can I not let you rest? Besides, I'm looking for you to let you come back and work hard Are you alive?! When did I not let you stay on the mountain honestly, and you insisted on driving up and down to be a coolie?! You couldn’t stop it, why didn’t you see you being lazy at that time? I was Hearing your nonsense, I probably rolled my eyes and threw it away, because I don't believe that you will really be willing to rest, maybe you will go to rescue the soul again as soon as you reincarnate, who knows that you really want to There is no news at all... I took advantage of the time of your reincarnation to find you, and as for the result - you also heard that bastard say in the illusion that your life span in each life is too short, often when I just found you, you You entered reincarnation again! Coincidentally, I almost thought you did it on purpose!"

Qi Chen: "..."

He imagined those scenes based on Long Ya's temper, and felt that with this old man's character of being explosive at one point, it was a coincidence to find so many times in vain... When he got angry, he just took out a knife and chopped him up. Well done.

Sure enough, as soon as this thought flashed through Qi Chen's mind, he heard Long Ya sneer, turned his head gloomyly, and said: "You have been beaten so many times, and you will avoid me like a snake after reincarnation, Lao Tzu Why do you want to chop off your dog legs so much?"

"..." Qi Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Then when I was recruited into Guanghe by Director Dong, why did you all act like you didn't recognize me?"

Long Ya glanced at him, folded his arms and looked at the broken stars in the sky as if he didn't hear it. After a while, he finally said: "I found you very early in this life, and you didn't rush to reincarnate. I think you had a good time that day, so that's it. I didn't intend to really pull you back and put the burden on you again, how could it be so wicked... But it's also a coincidence, I happened to find the body dragon Yaknife's knife plate guard, this cannot be repaired by others, so Director Dong had to let the personnel stare at you and let you in. Although Guanghe has many members, from all dynasties, but I am the only one who really knows you and has seen you Besides, there are only Director Dong, Hong Ming, and Shan Xiao in total, and no one else knows about it. We originally planned to use your hands to repair my main body, and then put you back in the world of ordinary people. Let you rest for a few more lives, but who knows that things will come to you one after another. At first, I thought I was dragging you in by mistake, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. It doesn’t make any difference to let you go to die, so I can only follow you to see what kind of character you, a fool, got into. You are getting more and more suspicious. Originally, I planned to let Shan Xiao put you down and clean up for you Qing, now that you've reached this point, there's no need for that anymore, in your words, it's probably your fate, and you shouldn't be able to escape in this life."

As soon as Qi Chen's calf was cold, he always felt that if he ran Longya again, he might really be able to draw his knife and chop off his dog's leg.

"However—" Long Ya said again: "After listening to those miscellaneous words in the illusion, I think about the original situation carefully now, and I really feel that there is something wrong, especially the last words you said to me, And those four blood spots on your heart..."
