Killed someone?

The muscles on Ye Jianbang's face twitched uncontrollably.

The two young masters talked like charades, Ye Jianbang was confused, he didn't understand why he answered the phone, and suddenly said that the white snake had killed people.

Ye Jianbang immediately thought of the Dragon King held in the village.

If the white snake had killed someone, what would happen to Lijia Village? !

Ye Jianbang looked ugly, and grabbed You Xingyue's arm: "Master! I..."

You Xingyue remained expressionless: "I know what Uncle Ye is worried about. If the White Snake has the intention of revenge, he doesn't need to wait for so many years, and he doesn't need to ask for a dream."

Ye Jianbang knew that You Xingyue was right, but the fear in his heart could not be dispelled, so he murmured: "Master is right, but the villagers..."

"I understand," You Xingyue was very understanding, he smiled and reassured Ye Jianbang, "Don't worry, we are here, nothing will happen. It's getting late, we still have some things to discuss, Ye Jian Uncle, let's go home for dinner."

Ye Jianbang hesitated and refused to leave, he wanted to know how You Xingyue would deal with it: "But..."

There are so many people in Lijia Village, there are not many young and strong left, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people living alone. As a village cadre, he has to be responsible for the villagers.

You Xingyue's tone became heavier, but his tone was lowered. His eyes were dark behind the lens: "After the matter is resolved, I will take the Dragon King Statue and leave Lijia Village afterwards. If Uncle Ye is worried, you can go back and discuss it with the officials and villagers in the village. Discuss, after all, the Dragon King Temple should be built with funds raised by the village."

The night wind was mixed with some water vapor, and the cold Ye Jianbang shuddered. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and walked away step by step.

You Xingyue turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and they returned to the Dragon King Temple. The narrow temple just accommodated him and Shi Wuyan.

Shi Wuyan pointed lightly, and a small stool appeared out of nowhere in the Dragon King Temple: "Sit for a while."

You Xingyue was already very tired after sitting in the car for a whole day. Hearing this, he was not polite. He sat on the stool, stretched his legs, and patted his knees: "Come and sit if you don't want to stay."

If Shi Wuyan wanted to sit, he would definitely get two of them. Since he only took one, it was for You Xingyue to sit.

Bu Liu Ke hummed and climbed onto You Xingyue's lap, and was hugged by You Xingyue as a pillow.

After sitting comfortably, You Xingyue raised his head: "White Snake."

"I'm not called White Snake."

The snake demon said indifferently: "I have a name, Qingze. It's the snake demon from the Lianghe next to me. This...a fellow Taoist who doesn't know his name is right. I failed to transform a dragon back then, and I was struck to death by a thunder calamity. , the soul fled to the Dragon King Temple to be preserved."

At that time, Lijia Village was still a small village with less than [-] households. It was only after pooling money that such a Dragon King Temple was built. It was cramped and narrow, like an earth temple.

Later, Qingze lived in the Dragon King Temple, begging for rain and water and doing his duty to make the Dragon King Temple flourish.

"The Dragon King Temple you are looking at now was expanded more than 60 years ago. I am grateful to the Dragon King Temple for protecting my soul, so I am willing to help these villagers get some water from a distance on weekdays. Although most of my cultivation has been lost, this Small requests can still be met.”

You Xingyu nodded: "It stands to reason that your incense should last forever."

Qingze snorted: "I am a snake demon who has lost my body. I have long lost the prestige of the past. The severe drought decades ago covered a whole province. What can I do? They have been successful in begging for water in the past. I have become the real Dragon King, and if I come to beg me again, it will not work, and some people insist on dragging it out to expose the Dragon King, let them do whatever they want."

You Xingyue took out two pieces of chocolate in his pocket, and handed one to Shi Wuyan: "Aren't you angry?"

Qingze didn't care: "There's nothing to be angry about. In the past, when the incense was strong, chickens and pigs were slaughtered to sacrifice, and the incense was constantly burning. Even the children in the village might not be able to eat these. It was just to get what they needed. They wanted to expose the Dragon King , I just hide in the temple and don’t go out.”

"After being exposed to the Dragon King, technology has gradually developed, and few people worship gods anymore." Qingze was a little jealous, "You said that the broken water pump, as long as it is powered on, is actually more efficient than me."

You Xing didn't hold back anymore, and laughed: "So much has been laid out, what does it have to do with you killing people?"

Qingze was silent for a moment: "I just want to say that she is very special to me."

"In the fifth year since the Dragon King Temple was abandoned, I have merged with the god statue. I am no longer a lonely ghost, but I am also restricted by the Dragon King statue. I can't leave this Dragon King Temple. , began to sleep in the idol."

The Dragon King Temple, which is still small after expansion, sometimes becomes a playground for children in the village, but at night, few children dare to stay in the empty Dragon King Temple.

So when Li Zhaodi got into the Dragon King Temple, Qingze didn't notice it.

Qingze fell asleep day after day, unable to distinguish day from night at all. In the dark dreamland, Qingze suddenly smelled a faint fruity fragrance.

He opened his eyes in the statue, and there was a bunch of purple-red mulberries on the dusty altar table, and the white snake with thousands of years of cultivation swam out of the statue, looking down at the coming people from a height.

Li Zhaodi, who got in, was still holding a bunch of mulberries, she thought for a while: "I'll give you half of the mulberries, and you can borrow my place to sleep."

Qingze thought: I won't do it.How can we use mulberries for gods?

Li Zhaodi thought for a while, and probably felt that a bunch of mulberries was too shabby, so she took out a handful of shredded wild flowers in her pocket: "I'll give you this too."

Qing Ze: "..."

Well, wildflowers are flowers too.

Qingze swam out of the statue, Li Pingyu took out a flashlight and homework from his schoolbag, and lay down on the ground to write, with bruises on his exposed arms.

The name is written on the exercise book: Li Zhaodi.

Her name is Li Zhaodi.The name doesn't sound good and doesn't deserve her.

She bit her pen: "I hate my brother, I will change my name to Li Pingyu in the future."

Later, Li Pingyu became a frequent visitor to the Dragon King Temple, and she was the only one who dared to sneak into the Dragon King Temple in the middle of the night with a child.She was wilder than all the children Qingze had ever seen. Sometimes she got into the temple with cocklebur all over her body, and then brought Qingze a bouquet of wild flowers.

The wildflowers she finds are getting more and more beautiful.

Qing Ze likes flowers, he often swims out of the statue, sleeps in the wild flowers, and then waits for Li Pingyu to replace him with new wild flowers.

The essence of offering to God is the exchange of needs.Any flower or fruit can be exchanged for a peaceful night in the Dragon King Temple.

Very occasionally, Li Pingyu would find one or two incense sticks, light them outside, and run into the Dragon King Temple to protect them, and stick them on the incense burner.

With Li Pingyu's offering, Qingze gained a weak power.He no longer sleeps for a long time, he will wag the tip of his tail, count the wild flowers over and over boringly, and wait for Li Pingyu to leave school.

Once, Li Pingyu picked up the flower that had been crushed by Qingze, and smiled at the statue inexplicably. The smile made Qingze feel guilty, and he got into the statue.

She must know.

Qing Ze thought bitterly: Smart girls are so annoying!

But one day, Li Pingyu didn't come.

In the middle of the night, Qingze couldn't help leaving the Dragon King Temple, followed Li Pingyu's smell to find Li Pingyu's house, and smelled blood before he got close.

She is injured.

Qingze flicked his tail, retracted his claws twice, and quickly swam into Li Pingyu's house.

In the main room with the lights on, a woman's shrill scolding voice came out: "Li Zhaodi, you lose money! I asked you to teach your brother to do homework, why don't you ignore him?!"

Li Pingyu's neck and even his face were bloodstained from branches, she didn't care at all: "That's because he's stupid, I've never seen such an idiot child."

As soon as she finished speaking, the proud boy sitting on the stool immediately picked up the small stool and threw it at it.

Li Pingyu dodged, picked up the notebook next to him and smashed it back.

The woman screamed twice, and the branch in her hand hit Li Pingyu's body: "Who told you to hit him? He is your brother, you have to let him! When you get married, he will support you! Be better, there is only good for you and no harm! Why are you so bad! You just can't see your brother is good!"

Li Pingyu didn't want to be beaten a second time, turned around and ran out with his schoolbag.

She was outside from Xiao Ye, tall and long-legged, and she ran fast with a big schoolbag, the woman was so angry that she wanted to catch up and beat her.

The man who had been drinking in the house finally spoke: "Look at the things you raised, none of them are worry-free, hurry up and cook, I've been tired outside all day."

The woman put down the branch and muttered: "I see, I'm hungry every day..."

The woman rushed out the door and shouted loudly: "You run! Don't come back if you have the guts!"

Qingze circled around the beam of the house and moved the tip of his tail. After a while, rustling sounds came from the grass.After a while, panicked voices of men and women came from the house:

"Dad, there's a snake!"

"Where are there so many snakes? Go get the stick!"

Li Pingyu went out and ran quickly, and got into the Dragon King Temple.

She was forced to teach her younger brother to do summer homework every time she got home, but the boy who grew up in this kind of family didn't listen to her at all, and he didn't know who he had learned a bad language from.

Li Pingyu didn't bother to teach him any more, so he handed him the answers to copy. Unexpectedly, he was seen by his mother who came back from farm work, so he was beaten up.

The Dragon King Temple was still pitch black. Li Pingyu ran too fast and forgot to bring a flashlight. She sat on the ground and sighed.

When Qingze came back, she found Li Pingyu sitting at the door, weaving a wreath under the moonlight that was not too bright, and then she put the wreath on the altar, and solemnly swore: "When I have money, I will make a wreath for you." Da Deng, come here to do homework every day from now on."

Qing Ze: "It's true that the peasants thought that the emperor used a golden hoe to farm the land."

Qing Ze slowly turned into a human form. He had been retreating in the river for thousands of years, and rarely walked in the world.

Silver hair and green pupils, beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

He picked up the incense burner on the altar, poured out the ashes and held it out of the window. After a few breaths, the incense burner was filled with moonlight.

Qingze placed the censer heavily in front of Li Pingyu, and the soft moonlight slowly dissipated, illuminating a small area: "Do homework!"

Li Pingyu: "..."

When she saw Qing Ze for the first time, she accepted his inhuman silver color and vertical pupils well, and she even dared to lean in front of Qing Ze.

Qingze held his breath: "What are you doing?!"

Li Pingyu smiled: "I heard from the grandma in the village that there is a white snake in the Dragon King Temple. Are you that white snake? Are you a monster?"

Qingze showed his sharp fangs, and said fiercely, "I am! I'm biting you!"

Li Pingyu: "You won't. I think I'm a monster too. The parents in the village don't like me very much. They say I'm not a good sister or daughter, but they have to beg me because I'm the villager. The best kids in school."

Li Pingyu stood on tiptoe—she was a little shorter than Qingze, her black eyes were full of smiles:

"You are a god that no one worships, and I am a child that no one wants. You have the same disease as me, and you will not bite me."

Qingze had very little spiritual power left, changed his human form once, and collected moonlight again, so he had to retract into the statue and continue to sleep.

So the meeting that day was like a weird dream in the second period of junior middle school.

Li Pingyu's visits became less and less, Qingze vaguely heard what she said about the college entrance examination and would not come back in the future, he woke up vaguely.

At that time, the 15-year-old girl was already an adult. She was very good at growing up, taking advantage of her parents' strengths, and had a very beautiful face.

Holding the incense, Li Pingyu bowed down devoutly for the first time like the Dragon King statue.

Qing Ze looked at her silently.

Li Pingyu said: "I hope the college entrance examination will succeed."

I wish you the best of luck.

Li Pingyu: "I hope the road ahead is long enough."

Hope you are safe and happy.

Li Pingyu: "I hope..."

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, but didn't continue, she just said silently in her heart: I hope the glimpse I had when I was young was not a dream, I hope you really exist in this world.

Qingze watched her all the way out of the small temple and out of the village.He hoped that Li Pingyu would never come back.

After Li Pingyu left, Qingze's strength became weaker and weaker, and he began to sleep for a long time. He would wake up every year during the Chinese New Year.

Because Li Pingyu will come back with incense.

You Xingyue interrupted Qingze's recollection: "So you really helped Li Pingyu kill someone? Her husband?"

"I didn't help her kill," Qingze straightened up, "She didn't want to kill, I insisted on doing so."

"The last time she came was five days ago."

The 28-year-old Li Pingyu wears a high ponytail. She has completely lost the youthfulness of the past and is tall and thin.

Qing Ze: "She told me that she had made a decision and had done her best, so she wanted to hear the destiny."

Qingze took a deep breath: "I said, I will bless her with all the best."

You Xing frowned.

Qing Ze sneered: "Why, as a human being, the boss is starting to feel uncomfortable?"

"Huh?" You Xingyue shook his finger, "I won't use the law to restrain a monster. And I'm not deaf, just now my friend said that you indirectly killed Li Pingyu's husband, so you just need to give me one, cause and effect acceptable grounds."

Qingze said coldly: "That man is taking a kind of medicine, very expensive... medicine? I don't know what it is, he took the family's money like crazy, but he still can't quit. He divorced, but the man didn't agree, he tried to give Pingyu that medicine."

You Xing rubbed the center of his eyebrows: Li Pingyu's husband is a drug addict.

Shi Wuyan wondered, "Is that man sick?"

You Xingyue shook his head: "It's not a disease. It's a kind of poison, which can make people addicted. Once you try it, it's hard to quit or most of them can't quit."

Shi Wuyan thought about it carefully, but still didn't understand: "Why do people take poison?"

He raised his head without leaving a guest, hoping to hear the answer from You Xingyue.

You Xingyue started to frown when he heard the "medicine". He felt physically uncomfortable, took off his glasses, and rubbed his temples: "Escape. For the illusion of being in a trance after taking the medicine. Some people use various There are a variety of ways to vent pressure, some reasonable and some unreasonable."

When You Xingyue was studying, a classmate's father gambled and his mother played cards. His father borrowed usury and was unable to repay it, so his mother ran away with the men in the chess and card room.

The remaining child went to and from school every day like a walking dead. One of the sophomores started school, and that child never came back.

You Xingyue used his fingers unconsciously, his skin turned red.

Shi Wuyan held his wrist and called his name: "Xingyue, don't be unhappy."

When he did this, there was no other expression on his face except concern, calm and calm.

You Xingyue smelled the faint fragrance from his sleeves, and his mood gradually improved.

Qingze said quietly: "Are you all done flirting?"

You Xingyue: "...Sorry, you continue."

Qingze: "I don't know exactly what happened. I don't have much power left. When Pingyu came back that day, I secretly followed her to Yingjiang City. On the way, I heard Pingyu arguing with that man. It's a pity that I didn't There is no way to follow home, I can’t go that far.”

"The next day, I went again. I saw the man on the nearby street. He looked like he was going crazy. I followed him and watched him climb up the bridge dancing and take out cigarettes and lighters."

"I blew the cigarette out of his hand."

"He jumped after the smoke."

The man jumped down and disappeared into the rolling Yingjiang River. Qingze was coiled on the railing, hearing the rumbling thunder rolling across the sky.

He shuddered, the bones that had long since disappeared seemed to still remember the pain that the thunder calamity added to his body back then.

However, that thunder did not strike in the end.

"wrong."

You Xingyue's face was a little ugly, he stood up: "If that man is dead, how can I see the thread?"

Qing Ze: "Line? Your boss who doesn't keep customers, didn't you say that the causal connection is the thread? I indirectly killed him, and he hates me, so naturally he has a connection with me."

You Xingyue stretched out his hand and said word by word: "You don't understand."

Qingze suddenly felt his throat tighten, and a blood-red thread appeared out of thin air, one end was connected to Qingze's snake neck, and the other end was held by You Xingyue in his hands.

"After a person dies, most of the grievances and grievances in front of him are wiped out, and he will go to the underworld according to the instinct of the dead soul, and come back under the supervision of the yin messenger on the seventh day. Only ghosts with deep obsessions refuse to enter reincarnation and wander in the world of mortals. That’s what’s known as a ghost.”

"Once a person dies, it is reasonable to say that all the lines with the yang world will be broken. Because yin and yang are separated, but now you are tied to the cause and effect of killing."

Qingze's voice trembled: "You mean, that man's soul didn't go to the underworld?"

Qingze shook his head: "Impossible! What grievances did he have? How could a fool who rotted into the mud turn into a ghost and take his life?"

Shi Wuyan said: "Although there are always legends of ghosts seeking revenge in the world, the souls of the dead who have been tortured to death do not dare to resist when they are alive, and they may not dare to dare after death. On the contrary, they are wicked people, and they can easily become evil ghosts after death." .”

Qingze Liushen Wuzhu: "What should I do now?! I don't know where she lives. Can I find the ghost in Yingjiang now?"

The more you Xing tried to press the line, the blood line was not strong, even a little weak, that is to say, the other end of the line has not yet fully formed.

Li Gui is not considered fierce, and ghosts are not afraid of people. Wasn't the water ghost who chased Wu Xingfang back then beaten up by the police?

Ghosts are bullying and fearing hard.

Otherwise, why didn't Li Gui come to Qing Ze?Because of the dark things, even the door of the Dragon King Temple cannot be climbed in.

"That Miss Li Pingyu," You Xingyue asked, "how is she?"

Qingze: "You heard it during the day too. She has good grades, can earn money, and will donate money to the elementary school in the town. She will support girls in the village to go to college. Why should a good person be entangled by evil spirits?"

You Xing smiled and said: "Okay. You owe me a favor."

He let go of his hand, and the ominous thread shot straight from Qingze's snake towards the center of Yingjiang City.

The blood-red light on the body makes You Xingyue look like cold jade.
