The mountain ghost blows out the lights

Not long after, Xiao Taozhi stood in front of Hezigui's gate again.

She didn't make a sound, and didn't deliberately cover her whereabouts, she just stood silently outside the door, staring at the closed door, with He Zigui's ability, she could hear it naturally.

Inside and outside the door, everyone is tacit understanding.

The mountain spirits who had been surrounding the thatched hut dispersed at some point, and the world was completely silent. Even the small animals that often appeared in the mountains did not run here, and the atmosphere was as silent as if they were dead.

In the room, Master Niankong opened his eyes, slapped the ground with a 'slap', and said in a deep voice, "Zigui. How long are you going to escape?"

He Zigui silently turned to look at him.

"Don't understand?" Master Niankong said, "If you don't make it clear to her, she will pester you one day. She is a demon, and she has no concept of etiquette, righteousness and shame. If you are patient, you will reveal your true nature—the tragedy of Huaishui Village, do you want it to happen again?"

Huaishui Village is the birthplace of He Zigui, and it is also the village where... innocent people were imprisoned by the bones of the Buddha.

He Zigui went to see it later. The village was originally sparsely populated, and there was nothing special about it. Not many people even knew about it. When the villagers died, they died. The houses were dilapidated and the ground was full of tombs. No one cared.

He Zigui picked another Buddhist bead, the bead was made of mahogany, it was rolled up smooth and shiny, obviously it had been touched and played with countless times.

"It's time to make a choice." Master Niankong continued to mutter habitually. In the past two days, he has been ignored by He Zigui, and he didn't really think that he could persuade him with a few words, "Sooner or later, I will come to you like this." Once, stop the loss in time now, there is still time-what?"

He Zigui stood up from the futon.

Master Niankong didn't react for a while, and asked subconsciously: "Are you hungry?"

It shouldn't be, the two of them actually don't need to eat, and He Zigui is not a person who pays attention to appetite, so he won't suddenly want to eat at such a time.

Then what is he doing standing up?

He Zigui: "..."

"I'll go and clarify." He glanced at Master Niankong who was still sitting on the ground, with a sudden and firm expression, as if he had completely figured out something, and said lightly, "You are right, Indeed... this matter should have come to an end long ago."

Master Niankong: "...cough."

He also realized that he had made a fool of not turning the corner, so he coughed in embarrassment, put up his master's airs again, pretended nothing had happened, and said loudly: "This is the way it is!"

He Zigui didn't wait for Niankong to follow, he took two steps forward, opened the door, and faced Xiao Taozhi standing outside.

Xiao Taozhi stared at He Zigui's face almost greedily, and said softly: "Have you figured it out?"

"En." After many days, He Zigui was finally willing to meet her eyes.The monk nodded and said with deep eyes, "I have fully understood."

"That, that—" Xiao Taozhi took two steps forward eagerly upon hearing the words, and asked expectantly, "Are you here to accept me?"

Master Niankong cleared his throat heavily behind Hezifu.

He Zigui asked back: "What if I don't accept it? How about you, give up?"

Yan Jinping and Shen Lianxing followed nearby, just in time to hear He Zigui's words, knowing that this was the matter of He Zigui and Xiao Taozhi, they didn't step forward to disturb, and stopped not too far away.

Anyway, both of them have sharp eyes and ears, and this distance is enough to prevent the other side from noticing their existence, but it does not prevent them from listening to the corner of the wall.

A little bird like an oriole flapped its wings and flew over, landed behind the two of them, touched the ground and turned into a human form, it was the oriole who sneaked over at some point.

Zhen Huang carefully hid behind the tree, not knowing whether his face was more curious or more worried, Yan Jinping turned his head and glanced at her, without making a sound.

At this time, Xiao Taozhi was stunned by He Zigui's question, before she had time to answer, she just blinked her eyes in astonishment.

——She was full of hope that He Zifu would come out to meet her, and thought that he had already decided to accept, but she never thought about the possibility of being rejected at all.

"If you don't accept..." she repeated in a murmur, "how about me?"

He Zigui looked at her steadfastly, as if eager to know the answer.

"Of course he can't accept you!" Niankong couldn't help it, stepped forward, and hummed, "Didn't I understand enough before? You should give up your heart, Peach Blossom Demon!"

Hearing the last three words, Xiao Taozhi's body trembled violently.

She looked at He Zigui sadly, with a look of despair and hope mixed on her pretty face: "Say, I want to hear your answer."

He Zigui still said the same thing, and asked her: "If I don't accept..."

Xiao Taozhi suddenly didn't want to hear it.

She abruptly interrupted He Zigui, and said bluntly: "Not really."

He Zifu asked her unrelentingly, "What do you mean by not so good?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Taozhi sneered, and suddenly said loudly, "It means that I will not give up, He Zigui, I like you, I like you now, and I will like you in the future. If you disagree one day, I will pester you one day For you, unless I die, otherwise, otherwise you can never get rid of me!"

"I don't care about any bullshit rules, and I don't want to know about the past. I didn't participate in your past, and those sins and sins are not on my shoulders, but in the future, I will always be tied to you."

"How about a monk, what about becoming a Buddha? I want Bodhi to bloom for me, I want immortals to fall in love with me, He Zigui, I want you, and I don't want anything else."

Her thoughts were in confusion, and she didn't have time to think about what her passionate and eager pressing every step of the way meant to He Zigui.All the opinions of respecting Hezigui that she had imagined before were all left behind, and she stared straight at Hezigui, as if she wanted to bind the monk with her eyes, with only one thought in her eyes.

To drag him down, it doesn't matter whether the bottom is mud or Avici hell.

She doesn't care anymore.

"—So, do you understand?"

The crisp and soft voice echoed in the open space, and the darkness spread like a fog.

He Zigui nodded, as if he understood.

He chanted the Buddha's name softly, wrapped the beads around his wrist, and then took a step back with one leg, taking an attacking stance.

Although he is a monk, he does not kill easily, but Vajra also has an attitude of glaring, so monks practice this way diligently, not for killing, but for saving.

As Master Niankong's most trusted and talented disciple, He Zigui certainly learned this aspect very well.

He made a pinch gesture with one hand and put it upright in front of his chest, while the other palm was facing outwards, in a familiar posture, the same as that of Master Niankong who smashed the barrier of Taohualou that day.

The old monk followed in confusion, and took the opportunity to interject, "Fool, don't you hurry up and leave? My disciple is talented and intelligent. Arhat masters are first-class. If you attack, all evils will retreat. You can't stop him. Even if you are a demon, you will die."

Xiao Taozhi couldn't believe it, and asked He Zigui, "You——do you really want to do this?"

He Zigui didn't move, and closed his eyes.

But he didn't let go of his posture, and faced Xiao Taozhi squarely.

Xiao Taozhi's expression was panicked and desperate, her complexion was pale, except for two blobs of strange flush on her cheeks, her hair hung down from both sides, her eyes looked over sadly, to the peach branch planted by He Zigui in front of the cottage.

The wind blew up everywhere, and the peach branches trembled.

She also knocked on the monk's window lattice and threw peach blossoms into his room one after another in full bloom.

... If he was not willing to accept this affection, why did he plant them?

The last light in Xiao Taozhi's eyes dimmed bit by bit.

"I understand."

"Unable to achieve the goal..." The girl was sullen, and slowly stretched out her thin white fingers from her sleeves, she even had a smile on her face, her voice was sweet and soft, "I will never give up. "

Niankong is still waiting to say: "You—"

"Shut up." Xiao Taozhi interrupted him in a deep voice, her voice was strangely distorted, as if separated from everyone by a layer of water, hazy and hard to hear, "I'm not asking for your opinion. "

Niankong never expected Xiaotaozhi to have such a reaction, and was stunned by her. The old monk touched his bald head as if doubting his life, and really didn't remember to continue to speak for a while.

The same voice echoed in Xiao Taozhi's mind, it sounded like her own, but not exactly the same.

"Have you seen it? You regard him as his sweetheart, but he only regards you as his demon."

Her eyes were slack, and she could hardly hear the sound of the outside world. Her eyes were only filled with He Zigui in front of her.

"So what about the demon? As long as he gets it, who cares if he wants it or not?"

"Leave him, leave him..."

The voice is sweet and soft, with an irresistible temptation, like a rotten fruit, dragging people into the mud together.

"Let him be with you, let him never leave you, you two will be a couple like a fairy..."

Unreasonable greed and hatred swept her whole body in an instant, her beautiful fingers gradually elongated and changed color, and became some slender and twisted roots. The stretching speed is extremely fast, as if to wrap him in it.

He Zigui's eight winds didn't move, his fingertips didn't even tremble.

Half of Xiao Taozhi's body has turned into a skinny peach tree, limited by the size of the body, the peach tree is not tall, the branches grow lushly, there are not many leaves, but there is a delicate and exuberant peach blossom.

The color of the peach blossom should be pinkish white, but now it has become extremely dark, as if a dark red blood seeped from the inside, some petals fell mottledly, floated to the ground, and hit a hole.

The other half of her body was still in human form, but was gradually covered with a layer of hard bark, only revealing the girl's eyes, which seemed to contain tears and poison that could not be diluted.

Dark red covered the sky, pressing heavily towards the downcast monk, desperately trying to entangle him into her body, never to be separated again.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Master Niankong yelled after He Zigui: "Oops, she has fallen into a demon barrier and can no longer listen to advice! Zigui, don't do anything!"

He Zi didn't move, he let the peach tree's blossoming branches touch his side, wrapping him gently and sinisterly.

Niankong frowned and gave a 'tsk' sound, and stretched out his palm, side by side with Hezigui, looking for Xiaotaozhi's flaws.

Although I don't know why He Zigui didn't move yet, but he must not be allowed to be taken away by this peach demon like this!

Xiao Taozhi seems to have completely lost her mind.Her body was exposed, with rough bark on her face, screaming to hook the monk's neck.

He Zigui recited the Buddha's name softly, and finally moved.He suddenly opened his eyes, looked straight at Xiao Taozhi's ferocious face, held a Buddhist bead and struck out——

The beads vibrated in the air for a moment, and when the wood collided, it made a sound like gold and jade.

He obviously didn't hold back his hand, this palm was extremely powerful, with the sound of howling wind... If it really hit Xiao Taozhi, it would kill her even if she didn't die.

……

Is it true that no matter how sincere a relationship is, it can end without a problem, and no matter how beautiful the original intention is, it will be forced to deteriorate?

The only way is that the world of mortals is like a spider's thread, and all living beings are insects, and it is difficult to escape if they are entangled. The more you want to struggle, the deeper you will be trapped.

Only by forgetting the pain of lovesickness can we enter this door.

Entering this door, you don't know bitter lovesickness.
