The mountain ghost blows out the lights

Jianmu is indeed not planted by Bai Ze.

But now strictly speaking, Jianmu belongs to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze guards Jianmu, and Bai Ze owns Jianmu.

At the price of the divine beast's eyes that can see everything in the world, Bai Ze exchanged a chance with Jian Mu.

A chance to change fate.

Yan Jinping also knew about this matter, it was Yan Jinping who helped Bai Ze do it back then, and no one understood Bai Ze's attachment to Jianmu better than him.

"You said I asked you what to do." Yan Jinping said softly, "If I don't ask, you will tear me alive?"

"I can't beat you." Bai Ze sat with his head bowed, his eyes closed, his whole body looked gentle and harmless, and he didn't seem to be able to tear Yan Jinping alive at all.He smiled softly, "Stop praising me, Jinping."

Yan Jinping didn't speak, he couldn't find the right words for a while, and felt a little helpless for Bai Ze's personality.

In the end, he just sighed, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said nothing.

Shen Lianxing had been sitting quietly by the side, while Yan Jinping was talking to Bai Ze, he was looking at the place thoughtfully.At this time, he turned his gaze to Bai Ze, and suddenly found that there seemed to be only the piece of land under him. The color was different from other places. It was not completely black, but a little gray, and the soil was not hard, but a little fluffy.

It felt as if something had burned and turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

Could it be that Bai Ze is bored here and still burns paper for those ghosts?

At this time, a circle of ghosts not far away pushed and shoved each other. After a stalemate for an unknown amount of time, one finally became impatient. With a loud roar, he pushed away his companion who was in the way. It seemed that he had made up his mind. Ignore these three people and rush in directly.

This daring ghost is a man without arms, with tiny tooth marks all over his body, as if he was bitten by some small animal. The wounds are repeatedly torn open in the air, and then heal quickly...Look It's very painful to go up, I don't know what kind of torture he will suffer in this place.

Li Gui plucked up his courage, overcame his unexplained fear, and took a small step forward under the admiring gaze of other Li Gui.

It's as if nothing happened.

"Hey." Yan Jinping looked at Bai Ze and teased him, "You are in trouble."

"Alas..." Bai Ze obviously didn't turn his head, but he seemed to know that someone had crossed the line.He sighed a long time, and said softly, "Didn't I tell you all not to come here? I won't harm you, so why don't you just refuse to listen?"

Bai Ze was talking to Li Gui, and Yan Jinping and Shen Lianxing turned to Li Gui's direction together.

Not too close, Bai Ze's voice was soft, more like talking to himself than chatting.Li Gui, who was only looking at Jianmu, didn't hear it at all.When he realized that he was fine, his confidence suddenly increased, he arched his back, and rushed forward two steps unsteadily.

After a ghost turns from a human into a ghost, its mind will be affected, coupled with continuous torment, no matter how clever and cunning a person was in life, he will become paranoid and lose his due humanity.

In layman's terms, they are crazy.

The one who is stepping on the line now is like this. It is obvious that something is very strange, but he can't see it at all. He only pretends to be Jianmu, and he wants to escape from the sky, and he can no longer think about other things.

Yan Jinping and Shen Lianxing didn't move, and Bai Ze was still sitting upright with his eyes closed, like a porcelain bodhisattva with benevolent brows and eyes, and he didn't see any movement from them to stop him.

But just as Li Gui was about to sprint with all his strength, he suddenly felt his body lighten. No matter how much he shouted forward in his mind, he couldn't move any more.

He was a little puzzled why he didn't move forward even though he had taken a step, so he looked down in confusion - he saw nothing.

No legs, no hands, no body, nothing.

Immediately afterwards, Li Gui's vision suddenly decreased.His already incomplete forehead knocked on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, bounced up and down a few times, and finally couldn't move anymore.

Obviously no one was going to touch him, and there was no warning at all, the specter spread from the leg upwards under the watchful eyes of everyone, and quickly and silently turned into a handful of fly ash.

Only the head was left, and finally rolled around on the ground a few times, and soon scattered into the ground.

"...I have warned you a long time ago." Bai Ze sighed, "I don't like killing."

——It seems that Bai Ze has a completely different understanding of the phrase "I will not harm you" than ordinary people.

Yan Jinping had expected this kind of situation, and said with a smile; "It's been so many years, I didn't expect that there are still people who don't have long eyes to disturb you. It seems that these ghosts don't have a good memory."

"This should be a newcomer." Bai Ze said politely, "I haven't disciplined him well yet, and I don't know the rules. I'm sorry for bothering you two."

Even though he had just set fire to a ferocious ghost, Bai Ze didn't change his expression, he spoke as if these ghosts were his pets, the contrast was very strong.

Shen Lianxing watched the ghost being forcibly "turned into mud and dust" by Bai Ze, and only then did he belatedly realize that the thick layer of abruptly colored powder spread beside Bai Ze and under the Jianmu tree It turned out not to be dirt.It was the ashes of Li Gui who had dared to take a step towards Jianmu all these years.

Such a thickness... I don't know how many people died before it was accumulated.

It should have been expected a long time ago, can these vicious ghosts of the ten directions be restrained only by the threat of intangible and invisible breaths?They are like hungry wild dogs. There is no reason to pounce on them so far. It must be that they have lost countless lives of their own kind, and after many times of direct shock, they have grown a little bit of brain and learned to wait and see.

"Anyway, they are not considered living." Yan Jinping was not surprised at all, and followed Bai Ze's words, "It doesn't matter if you kill them or not."

"That's right." Bai Ze agreed with him. The two elders sat and talked about such a cruel topic. There was an evil ghost behind them and ashes under their bodies. Jianmu and I should be able to relax for a while longer."

Bai Ze's action was more effective than Yan Jinping's grandiose arson.The ghosts surrounding Jianmu used to howl twice and dub their voices when they stretched out their hands, but now that they were so frightened by him, they all seemed to have their throats choked, and dared not make a sound.

The action of digging the ground was as neat as ever.

... What is so special about this Jianmu, that it is worth Bai Ze's decades of sitting there, day and night, caring for him with all his might?

Shen Lianxing couldn't help turning his head back, and took a closer look at Jianmu. Apart from "the trunk is really straight" and "this is really tall", with his naked eyes, he really couldn't pick out other characteristics.

Maybe it's something else?

Now is not the right time to say this.

"You take it." Bai Ze finally said, "Even...this opportunity was only obtained by me asking for your help. Without you, there would be no more Bai Ze in the world...Now you just I just want a seed, if I don't give it, it would be too stingy."

"Okay." Yan Jinping got the answer he wanted and didn't talk to him too much.He lifted the hem of his clothes and stood up, patted Shen Lianxing on the shoulder, only to feel that the touch of his hands was stiff, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the stuff under this clothes was not flesh and blood, but artificially assembled wood and metal.

It's pretty fresh.He thought to himself, if this matter is over, he has to ask Shen Lianxing if he would like to let him study it.

Yan Jinping said to Shen Lianxing quite casually, "Then you wait for me here for a while, Jianmu... is too tall, and I alone will be enough to take the seeds."

Shen Lianxing seemed to be in a daze just now, but he patted his shoulder before realizing it, and subconsciously grabbed the finger that Yan Jinping was about to take away, but then stopped moving, and fell into a long silence again.

"What?" Seeing him like this, Yan Jinping thought that he had some new ideas, or that he was impatient after staying in such a ghostly place for too long.Considering that Shen Lianxing's status is special, and he is also a guest of Linlang Pavilion, so he comforted him patiently, "...It's just a seed, it doesn't take much, it will be soon."

"I was just thinking." Shen Lianxing looked serious, as if he was really talking about something important, and said slowly, "...Can I also be called Boss Jinping in the future?"

This sounds closer.

……

Waste of emotion.

Yan Jinping pulled his hand out, gave Shen Lianxing a perfunctory smile, quickly smoothed the corners of his mouth, and stopped talking nonsense with him.

Then he said to Bai Ze: "Excuse me, please accompany Mr. Shen for a while."

"Why are you being polite to me." Bai Ze smiled politely and nodded in response, and instructed, "Be careful—although I think with your ability, there shouldn't be any problems."

Yan Jinping had already turned around, but didn't look back when he heard the words, and just waved his hands at the two of them casually.

"...I can persuade him to come and beg me." Yan Jinping left, Bai Ze closed his eyes, turned his head to Shen Lianxing, and said softly, "You are the most capable of his guests."

"Don't dare." Shen Lianxing didn't think so at all, "I'm just a mortal, I can't change spells, I can't turn stones into gold, I can move mountains to fill seas... I really can't compare to the boss's other distinguished guests."

Although asking him to admit this, I feel a little uncomfortable.

"You are different." Bai Ze said again, "You and Jinping used to - from the day when Linlang Pavilion was built, all the guests are different, Mr. Shen, you are special."

"How to say?" He made it clear that he knew something, and Shen Lianxing couldn't help asking, "Can I bother...to give you some pointers?"

Bai Ze revealed something that might be very important, which whetted Shen Lianxing's appetite, but at this moment he tightly closed his mouth, refusing to say anything, his brows were serene, like a closed-eyed Bodhisattva made of white porcelain.

……Fine.

Shen Lianxing also knew that the other party was unlikely to tell him everything so easily. After all, strictly speaking, he was actually the newcomer.Bai Ze is not a listener, he can tell good from evil at a glance... It is a normal reaction to be on guard.

only--

He also thought meekly, unfortunately, the most important thing they do crafts is patience.
