Earth Upgrade [End Times]

My name is Shen Xin. My mother was born in a scholarly family. She was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In that era full of wars, my mother spent her childhood happily.

In 1930, the war spread, and my grandfather's family was plundered. The fire burned all day and night, and it took away all the wealth and good memories.

Grandparents lost their lives in that war.

My mother was displaced and went to a foreign country.

In the spring of 1933, in the city of Y, my mother met and fell in love with my father who lived in seclusion in the mountains on the way to escape, and she became pregnant with me.

My father died in a war, and my mother embarked on the journey of escape again.

In the summer of 1934, my mother fell among the dead. God did not let this once beautiful, intellectual and happy woman end her suffering. She was picked up by nearby villagers and forced to marry a fool.

Under everyone's obstruction, my mother forced me to give birth to me.

I was born in the cold winter of 1934, and my birth took away my mother's young life.

Losing shelter, I was abandoned on the mountain. Some villagers found me and placed me in a ruined temple in the wasteland. They gave me three meals a day. At that time, this was a great kindness to me.

Maybe the new dad loves me very much. He always gives me weird food, such as dirty buns and live frogs, and then he pinches my skin with a smirk and mumbles, "Small~cute~ love~"

But soon, he died in an accidental landslide.

When I was eight months old, I was locked up in a ruined temple. His parents accused me of killing my mother, causing them to lose their daughter-in-law, and accusing me of killing my father, causing them to lose their son.

The fire burned the temple, and I saw the woman hanging from the beam above my head. She was screaming in pain, so I couldn't help crying too.

The villagers stopped the crazy couple and everyone built a simple wooden house. I was ordered to live in the wooden house and was not allowed to approach the village.

When I was one year old, I was a toddler alone, and I was curious about the woman who had been hanging on the beam of the house. I tried to touch her.

At the age of two, I began to understand what bones were floating in the water, hair was crawling, and women were hanging.

When I was three years old, I learned about fear when I witnessed their murder.

I started pretending not to see them.

They are used to this situation, and they don't knock on the door or stare at me in a horrible form every day.

At the age of three and a half, a group of little brothers and sisters from the village passed by here. They found me and taught me how to speak, write and read like a house. , I saw the life-threatening water ghosts, I hit the ghosts and told them to run away.

Since that night, they never came to me again.

When I was four years old, the villagers stopped delivering meals. I had to pick wild fruits by myself and go down the ghostly river to catch fish.

When I was four and a half years old, I sneaked into the village at night, rummaged through the trash to find old clothes to wear, and through the night conversations in the house, I finally knew why my brothers and sisters never came to me again.

They fell into the water that day and were frightened. After returning home, they had a high fever and couldn't wake up. The witch said, I am an unknown person who can attract ghosts and ghosts. I killed them.

I began to understand that I was an unknown person, I deserved this fate, it was all my fault.

But I still envy the other kids.

I began to understand that seeing ghosts is not something that can be said. I pretended not to see ghosts, as if I was a normal person.

At the age of five, apart from surviving, my daily life was learning to write and draw.

At the age of five and one month, the land opposite the window collapsed, exposing a coffin. People in the village went to see it, but found nothing of value, so they burned the coffin on fire.

I saw that after the fire, some kind of shackles seemed to be split, and heavy chains were hanging on the land. A rusty iron sword was buried alone in the mud, with only a black hilt exposed.

During the day, when the chains were gone, I drew my sword.

Since then, I can see a boy sitting under the shadow of a big tree every day.

I watched the boy silently for half a year. One day, he came under the plane tree beside the river in front of my window.

I used charcoal to draw him on the drawing paper I picked up. When I was writing, I heard a clear male voice from the window asking, "Does it look good?"

I held down the drawing paper, my eyes were empty, and I pretended not to see him.

The boy stared at me for a long time, and finally left and returned to the plane tree.

I close the window and write on the drawing paper.

"I've been driven to live in this abandoned house for a long time. Everyone was afraid and hated me, but this big brother didn't hate me, and asked me if I look good? Looks good! Very good-looking! The most beautiful in the world ∩_∩! But I dare not say, because he is a ghost."

He and I kept the boundary between humans and ghosts. When I was six years old, I met a boy in the village when I was picking wild fruits. He was the child who took the lead in teaching me how to speak and learn.

He fell into the ghost wall in the wild pond beside the cemetery, and there were many bones and claws dancing wildly invisible to humans on the ground.

I pulled him away from Ghost Hit the Wall.

The villagers found me, they pushed me down and cursed me, and they took away the muddle-headed boy.

At that moment, I understood the grievance.

I was tied to a sycamore tree, and the villagers formed a circle. At this moment, no one showed me any kindness. They hated me because the boy died.

I watched the fire set the sycamore tree on fire, and I also watched the boy's soul chained up, and he was being carried away into the mist by the black and white ghosts.

The boy appeared during the day, he cut off the plane tree, and showed a cold and strange smile at the village name, and everyone saw him.

The chains on his feet restricted his movement. When the villagers fled the area, the chains on his feet collapsed and he couldn't move forward.

I just found out that he is not afraid of the sun, nor is he very afraid of fire.

In getting along day after day, I have accumulated more and more paintings about him. I dare not let him discover my liking, because I am unknown.

At the age of 13, I was finally exposed by him to the truth about not being able to see ghosts. On that day, I also learned his name.

——Yu Chiqing.

I got lost on a hunting trip and saw an evil ghost. Taoist Priest Tsing Yi rescued me. He praised me for having a special physique and a genius for cultivation. He wanted to take me as a disciple and take me to a Taoist temple.

I thought about Yu Chiqing who stayed in the village, and refused.

Taoist Master Tsing Yi taught me for a week, and gave me a few books of Taoism to guide the way home. He said goodbye and left.

I started to practice Taoism by myself, and successfully cast the anti-ghost barrier. Since then, there have been no lonely ghosts knocking on the bed in the middle of the night.

I planted sycamore trees in the wilderness where Yu Chiqing lived, because he seemed to like sycamore trees very much. He always stood under the sycamore tree not far from the window, but he never crossed the river.

At the age of 16, the wooden house collapsed. Yu Chiqing found iron wood from nowhere and helped me build a new wooden house. The outside was covered with ordinary wood. He said, "This way it doesn't look like a strange one."

I fell in love for the first time, and said with a smile: "Yes."

This is Yu Chiqing's first time crossing the river. He crossed our default line, and he began to come to my house frequently. I revoked the protective barrier against ghosts again, because I knew that with him, no ghosts would dare to come and cause trouble.

, People in the village are getting married one after another. Every time Yu Chiqing looks at the gongs and drums over there, she will ask me, "Will you get married and leave your hometown?"

I said, "I'm never going to get married in my life."

I started to take over the work of eliminating evil spirits in other places, and my life improved. At the same time, I bought more books on Taoism.

I started to become famous in the circle and life got better and better, but I still didn't leave the village.

At the age of 23, most people in the village went out to work, leaving only some old people and children behind.

At the age of 24, there was a drought, the people were in dire straits, the state provided water for disaster relief, and artificial rainfall did not work. I was invited to participate in the action of eliminating demons and defending Taoism. I left the village.

The age of 25 is an eventful season. Demons from all walks of life gather in Y City, and demon-hunting forces from all over the country swarm to reveal today's major event, Kuiba.

At the age of 26, Kuiba was finally beheaded. I dragged my exhausted body to say goodbye to my friend Taoist Qingyi. After two years away from home, I realized how much I missed Yu Chiqing.

But I am no longer a girl, and Yu Chiqing is still a boy.

Years of companionship, the throbbing of a girlhood, buried in the ups and downs I have seen in the past few years, I began to realize that I have ulterior motives for Yu Chiqing, but at the same time, I clearly know that even if I practice Taoism, my lifespan will last forever. Extended, the face can stay young, but one day I will die.

I hid this love in the bottom of my heart, and returned to the village without stopping. I wanted to tell Yu Chiqing that my cultivation was vastly different from before, and that I could cut off the shackles of his ankles.

It was noon, and the village was surprisingly quiet. Under the shining white sun, there was not a single person to be seen.

I looked around suspiciously, and decided to go home first.

Daoism...ghost energy...

This is what I saw near the cabin.

Over the past twenty years, my home has changed from a ruined temple to a wooden house, from one person to one person and one ghost. Whether we survive in this world or not has no meaning to other people. They will forever define this place as a forbidden place. Unknown place.

But now, the villagers who have changed their minds about this place gather here, holding shovels or brooms, looking angry and excited.

"kill him!"

"kill him!"

The villagers are shouting.

After I saw the wooden house, the sycamore tree that Yu Chiqing and I planted together was burned by the fire, and the ground was scorched black. Taoist priests and monks wandered outside. Above the black land, chains condensed by soaring black air swayed. They have powerful attack power. , and at the same time, also bound Yu Chiqing.

No matter how powerful he is, at this moment he is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

I suddenly remembered what I had been investigating in the past few years. This place was a prosperous capital 1000 years ago, and the General’s Mansion was once located here.

The tyranny of the previous dynasty caused domestic complaints, countless heroes rose up, the country was in turmoil, and wars broke out everywhere.

The royal family was wiped out, and General Yuchi replaced his three-year-old son and the prince. Many years later, the real prince apparently followed General Yuchi's words to restore the former dynasty, but privately found that Yuchiqing was still alive and was adopted by the bodyguard bureau.

In order to erase the black history and confiscated the general's military power, on the eve of his enthronement, he arrested Yu Chiqing and the general, and told everyone that he was the father and son's puppet emperor. He endured many years of torture, and finally got his revenge.

The sunny and handsome Yu Chiqing, who knew nothing about it, died here together with his father who never appeared in his memory.

I once speculated that Yu Chiqing would turn into a ghost and be trapped by chains, which was the handiwork of the emperor. I wanted to cut off his shackles after becoming stronger, but I didn't expect that what I saw was the scene of him being besieged.

I have never been an emotional person, and I know very well that if I stand with Yu Chiqing, we will definitely die here together.

I decided to "betray" Yu Chiqing.

I am on the side of Taoist priests and monks.

Although the villagers have a bad attitude towards me, my Shen Xin reputation has been established in the past few years, and all the people in the circle choose to trust me.

I turned my back to Yu Chiqing who was temporarily sealed, and said slowly to everyone under his disbelieving and hurtful eyes.

"There has been no balance between good and evil since ancient times. This ghost is called a ghoul. He grows his cultivation by eating humans. He has been suppressed by so many chains, but he still has a strong fighting power. It is not something we can defeat. I suggest everyone wait a little while, I will inform you My friend Daoist Qingye assisted in the killing."

This wait lasted for three days. During these three days, I fully felt Yu Chiqing's anger, but I was powerless, and as a human being, it was still difficult for me to survive.

I told Daoist Qingye about my plan in private, and I said that I would bet my life on our friendship.

After that, we united all the villagers and Taoist monks to dig holes in the scorched land and make formations.

I secretly moved my hands and feet in the formation.

It was a rainy day, and I told Aoba that I violated the law of heaven, fell in love with ghosts, and deceived the whole world in exchange for his power and freedom. If I suffer from divine punishment, please seal me in a wooden house. I don’t want to lose my sanity and become a ghost, or reincarnate reincarnation.

Qingye only asked: "You can think about it, become his kind, be with him, even if one day he wakes up and demands your life."

I smiled: "If you can save me from him in time, I will confess my love to him. If there is no good result, please seal us forever."

"You don't want to be reincarnated?"

"I don't want to, because he is the eternal light in my life, even if the light goes out, but he once healed me, I know I have been happy."

In the middle of the night, I told everyone that this ghoul has killed countless people, as long as he is locked in the Buddha Cave, his soul will be scattered.

No one knew that it was just a shelter created by me to deceive the world, and no one knew that I cut off the chain the moment I sealed him.

Only Qingye and I know that there, Yu Chiqing can cultivate with peace of mind, and no one will disturb him again, until one day he becomes strong enough to break the seal and claim my life.

It's just that I didn't expect that I would be so lonely after Ye Tianzhu died.

The empty thoughts of these years destroyed all my calmness, and I became sentimental, staring at the sealed place every day, until the global tsunami released by the gods.

Yu Chiqing, he...had lifted the seal ahead of time.

Watching him put an enchantment on the wooden house to trap me, watching him not come to me, watching him smoke the bones of dead people to make ghost bones, watching him catch people and perform murder in front of my window.

Why is he so childish?The villain will not express himself in a hurry, as if he is claiming credit and shouting: Shen Xin, I want to kill people in front of you, I want to tell you that I am a real ghoul!

I wanted to cry and laugh, and suddenly felt that if I went back to 100 years ago, I might not have made such a series of plans so calmly, but stood emotionally and resolutely by Yu Chiqing's side, and walked towards the ashes together.

But I still want to be thankful for my rationality at the beginning, which made us all survive.

I'm also glad that I'm irrational now, because I can't wait to tell him: "I miss you."
