Strange Tale

"So that's what happened." Si Ren couldn't help sighing after listening to Ye Chang said, "Then how many times is this Jiang Shaozong Yi's reincarnation?"

I often thought for a while, "The third time."

"Is it such a big waste of twists and turns every time to shake the world?"

"Almost. Like I said just now, every reincarnation of Yi has a good family background, and he was born in the palace twice. So it is not so easy to kill him. Besides, Long Jiu never thought of killing him so easily. Get rid of him. Always get to know people early, make friends with them deeply, and kill him last."

Si Ren was puzzled, "Why? Doesn't he want to recover his real body as soon as possible and get rid of the shackles of his current body?"

I often shake my head, "I don't really understand. It's probably like a cat catching a mouse. It always has to toss a lot and eat the mouse after playing enough. But, I know that the cat will be full after eating the mouse. Very happy. But Long Jiu, I really can't figure out what he is trying to do."

Si Ren turned his head to look at Ye Chang, "How do you say?"

"In the beginning, he just spent a month or two like Jiang Shaozong. But then he procrastinated longer and longer, less for one or two years, longer for three to five years, and the longest time was once It’s been almost 20 years. Dudu and I thought he was going to live with others for the rest of his life and didn’t intend to kill Yi’s reincarnation. But in the end…” Yechang frowned and shook his head again, “I really don’t want to. How can I get rid of him in the end. Alas—anyway, I am a rough person, and I can’t understand some things for a long time. But there is one thing that I can see clearly: that is, every time Long Jiu kills Yi Very sad. And the longer the tossing, the deeper the injury. It’s nothing more than hurting others and oneself, but every time someone dies, reincarnated and forgets everything, leaving him alone with deep sorrow. I really don't understand what he is doing. Mr. Si, do you understand?"

Also Chang asked this suddenly, and Si Ren was stunned for a moment, "This... I'm afraid we need to know what happened between him and Yi first?"

"That's right. It's a pity that no one knows about those things except Long Jiu himself."

"Well... Mr. Ye Chang, I still want to ask..."

"Don't be so polite, it's okay to call too often. Since I can tell you so much, we should be considered friends in the future. It sounds awkward to be an adult. Besides, I am not an adult. I was originally a general. I followed Long Jiu He became a lieutenant general." He often laughed at himself, "But we don't care about generals and lieutenants anymore."

Si Ren also smiled, "I really didn't expect that."

"What didn't you think of?"

"At first I thought Brother Yechang was a taciturn person, but I didn't expect him to be so talkative when he didn't talk."

"Hahahaha, you can't be called talkative. It's just that you have lived for a long time and know a lot. Seeing that Long Jiu likes you, I have met you a few times and walked here together. I think you are really nice. Maybe there is something wrong with you. You can still persuade Long Jiu, so I told you in detail. Huh? Yes, what did you want to ask just now?"

"Oh, after all these years, besides what he was looking for, Long Jiu has also come into contact with a lot of other people, right? I wonder if there is anything special? It's rare that you are willing to talk about it, so I want to ask more."

"Hmm..." Chang thought for a while, and his expression gradually became serious again, "If you ask me this way, there are really two. There was a woman, and Long Jiu married her."

"Ah?! Getting married?!"

"Well. It was a woman we rescued on the road during the chaos of war. She was still very young at that time, just a child. She is nothing special, and her appearance is average. To be honest, she is not as delicate and attractive as Long Jiu."

"The results of it?"

"The result? What can be the result. The first few years were fine, and the two were indeed in love for a while. But when the woman was in her 30s, she refused to tell people she didn't know that she and Long Jiu were husband and wife. Then wait until When she looked a bit like Long Jiu's grandma in her fifties, she was already a little crazy, calling us fairies all day long, and sometimes scolding herself for being old. Then one day she suddenly passed away without warning. He committed suicide by jumping into a well.”

"It's so easy to just walk away, but it's painful to stay alone. I can't afford it..."

Thinking of what Long Jiu said, Si Ren couldn't help but feel heavy.It is also common for him not to say a word, but to continue talking on his own.

"Another time it was a monk."

"Monk?! Why did the monk come out again?!"

"Well. Long Jiu has known the monk since he was a novice monk in his teens. Then the monk lived to be more than 80 years old and became the abbot. Long Jiu has been with him for 70 years. During that time, the monk became an abbot. He met his best friend, and he ran to the temple every day, chanted scriptures and sat in meditation, and talked with others all day long. You can also see Long Jiu's temper, he is a bit moody, and sometimes he loses his temper when he says he loses his temper. It’s good again. During those years when he was with the monk, his temper was a little gentler.”

"That's not very good."

"What's the matter? Then the monk passed away. Long Jiu shut himself up for several days without eating or drinking. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't bear to live. After decades, instead of looking for Yi, he went to look for the reincarnation of the monk. gone."

"did you find it?"

"I found it. I don't know how to do it, but the monk was cast into a wealthy family and became an ignorant dude."

Si Ren opened his mouth, "Isn't that too far away?"

"Who says it's not? That's why, things are impermanent, some things can't be asked for, and some things can't be avoided. That's probably the case."

"Alas—"

"Don't be in a hurry to 'ah', the matter is not over yet."

"what?"

"Even so, Long Jiu still didn't give up. He even ran to find that young master a few times, saying that he wanted to recall his past life so that he could be remembered, but the last time Long Jiu was given to him by that guy and some of his cronies. Molested. Of course, Long Jiu didn't spare them lightly, but he was still angry for a while after returning. If I remember correctly, since then, Long Jiu has never had any deep friendship with ordinary people until he met you."

"Thank you for telling me so much." Si Ren stood up.

He also often glanced at the direction Long Jiu was in, "You go there. Thinking about Jiang Shaozong, he must be in a bad mood."

Long Jiu felt tired and leaned against the tree and closed his eyes.Sensing someone approaching, he opened his eyes and saw Si Ren standing in front of him.

"What are you thinking about? Your hair is all red." Si Ren asked.

Long Jiu didn't answer his question, "What did I always tell you?"

Si Ren knelt down, "It's nothing. Talk about some stupid things you did."

"What?! Has he lived enough?"

Si Ren moved closer to Long Jiu and grabbed his hand, "I didn't take a shower when I went up the mountain, so you have a bad temper due to lack of water?"

Long Jiu burst out laughing, "Why are you running over so late without sleeping?"

Si Ren continued to approach Long Jiu, "Am I poor?"

"The troublesome and annoying rogue looks like you are now."

"Really?" Si Ren's lips were already close to Long Jiu's face.

Long Jiu didn't hide, "You can often see Xiao Hai and the others like this."

Si Ren stood up and pulled Long Jiu up, "Let's go, find a place where they can't see."
