The priest knelt down in front of Zhou Ke, and softly called brother.

Zhou Ke raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said with difficulty: "I'm not anymore."

The priest smiled: "For me, the soul is the same."

"He said something similar."

"I think so." The priest sat down cross-legged, "otherwise, he wouldn't have come here again and again. It's amazing that he can still find you."

"What's the meaning?"

"The fox demon can find you because it can sense your breath. After you were stolen, the people in the temple hate you." The priest stretched out his finger and drew in the open space in front of Zhou Ke, "They can't find you , I had no choice but to figure out the origin between you and him. Later, as a revenge, they set up a blocking formation, so that he would never be able to smell your breath in the future. In the future, there will be a vast sea of ​​people, and he will find a needle in a haystack, and you will pass through the world of mortals."

Zhou Ke tightened his hands.

"I also hated this fox demon when I was young." The priest sighed with a smile, "everything is just right, what a selfish monster. The last time we met, I asked you if you hated it, and my brother said, why? Can not hate."

Hate him for being cornered, hate him for imprisoning others and himself.

I also hate him for making people unable to let go.

Back then when he traveled all over the rivers, he dragged the fox demon behind him everywhere, Shu Lang was open-minded, hoping that his gaze could be shifted to the vast world, and that he would encounter any beauty in the world.

How could that fox demon be more like a child than him.

"But you see, 200 years have passed, and I have let go of my hatred." The priest sighed, "The fox demon is still the same as it was thousands of years ago."

Zhou Ke clenched his teeth and closed his eyes tightly.Putting aside the complicated memories, in this life, on a snowy night when he was six years old, the big monster in white rescued his family from the wild beasts, and took him to Wuguo Mountain. For 11 years, he never saw him again, and he didn't show up until he stepped on a tree when he went down the mountain in February last year.

In this life, she came just right, and came so carefully.

"Brother, what will you do then?"

The bell rang for a long time, and Qingwu stared at the Chujun’s bedroom in the distance in the dark night, dazed for a while, and sensed a little ripple in the sleeping emperor’s palace surrounded by giant trees because of the bell——

In the distance, a disheveled mortal knocked open the door, groped around the palace wall, and finally looked in his direction.

For a moment, Qingwu almost doubted that he saw himself through many obstacles.

Mortals began to run after the light.

Qingwu took a step back involuntarily, and the eye-catching twinkling stars on the giant tree all dispersed.He obviously wasn't ready to look at each other again before parting, he just wanted to take advantage of the mortal's deep sleep to look at the flowers in the mist again.

He was at a loss: "Why did you wake up early?"

Qian Li looked into the thick night, his eyes traveled through the layers of the building, and he caught up with a mortal who staggered out of the door with disheveled hair.

In the middle of the night, the imperial palace was surrounded by the demonic power of the tree demon, thousands of people fell asleep, and the lights went out.The only Chu Jun who was awakened and came back from the soul in advance was still in good health. He ran in the dark with slightly stiff steps, unable to see the road ahead and hear the wind in his ears clearly, bumping here and there from time to time.

He ran towards the only place with light in the imperial palace, he knew that the tree demon was in the starry spot.

"Qingwu, Qingwu."

Hearing the hoarse call, Lu Li was moved for a while, and he turned to look at the creditor: "Brother Qingwu, that person is calling you."

Qingwu stayed for a while, then raised his hand and cast a spell recklessly, extinguishing the starry sky full of trees.

Diving away: "..."

Qingwu sat down on his buttocks, picked at the branches and said: "I don't see you. Little fox, please help me and cast a fairy method to let him continue to sleep. I originally planned to stay until tomorrow when I hit three poles. After the chopping is over, the demon body turns into dust. Once the demon power dissipates, all the mortals in the palace wake up together, just treat it as a long dream. What's the matter with this fellow waking up suddenly? See you soon, let him go back to sleep. "

Qianli's tail swayed in the wind, and he couldn't help covering his face with one tail, feeling sad and helpless: "I really don't see you? There is no other way?"

"It's so ugly and frightening that my main body has run amok like this." Qingwu cut off a branch, laughed and sniffed, "The appearance of being chopped must be scary, so show me some face."

With a sore throat, Qian Li raised his dust fan and pointed at Prince Zhou in the dark night: "Then, shall I use immortal techniques to make him sleep again?"

"Please, please." Qingwu clasped his hands together, "Little fox, hurry up and come back. I'll take a look at the changes on your body while there is still some time."

Qian Li sighed: "Then I'll go."

He jumped down from the tree, and the nine tails did not retract. He used his tail to push away the dust and sand leaves in front of his eyes due to the air current when he teleported.

He followed the only heartbeat in the entire imperial palace, thinking that it was where the mortals were.

It was late at night, the stars were dim, and Lu Li didn't try to see the target person clearly, so naturally he couldn't sense it.He just teleported to him, wanting to reach out and pat him on the shoulder to stun him, and carry him back to the bedroom to settle down.

It was a second for him to appear, and a second for his tail to be caught.The sound of heartbeats exploded in my ears, especially in the middle of the night.

"caught you."

Qianli fox's ears suddenly stood up, and the whole monster was dumbfounded: "Little, little Taoist priest?"

"Yeah." When Zhou Ke arrived, he opened his arms and hugged him, straight to the point from his ear, "I saw the priest himself. He told me that I was his elder brother 200 years ago."

Qian Li's blood suddenly turned cold, and he hugged him suddenly, his hands turned into a pair of claws due to tension, and clung to his back tightly.

"What else did he... tell you?"

"I know everything." Zhou Ke bent down and pressed him into his arms, speaking in a low and hoarse voice, "Big monster, you can always exceed my expectations and do things I never imagined. Tell me, why?" Steal me from that life?"

"I..." Qian Li's claws tore his clothes uncontrollably, and groped to the back of his heart indiscriminately, "I wasted two lifetimes, the first watching you be a ghost general for 300 years, and the first watching you beheaded in front of you." In front of me, I can't bear to see you fall into the abyss again."

"Is that so?" Zhou Ke hugged him tightly, "Really?"

Qianli's expression was pale, and he shook his head after being quiet for a while: "No...it's me, I don't want to get involved with you. The job of a priest is long, and it's either lonely and hard to die, or it's passed on to the heirs to leave the office. I'm so selfish. Neither would like to see that."

Wait until another priest completely replaces him, let him go until there is no turning back, and let the mortals in that life have nowhere to go and no home to return to, so that they can't bear to leave themselves.

That is the bitter fruit of his own life.

Qianli laughed tremblingly: "Am I hateful? Do I look like a lingering ghost?"

"You shattered my hopes."

Qian Li was struck dizzy by these words.

Zhou Ke panted for a while, and couldn't help tightening his grip: "What do you want me to do? When I came here, I hoped to go back to the mountains with you. I was looking forward to the way I came, so I realized that you have already walked this way. Walk out of the Society of Resentment and Hatred."

"How can I tell right from wrong? Leaving away... The priest asked me what I wanted after I found out, so I had no choice but to come to you. Big monster, I really want to be a fairy couple with you and do something for you, but I ...How did I find out that those holes in the old world can't be filled?" Zhou Ke's back was even more bent, and his tearful eyes pressed against his temples, "Is there no other way for us to go out except hurting each other?"

Qian Li loosened his paws: "I'm the one who hurt you."

"But..." Zhou Ke tightened his embrace, "You are the one who is left behind."

Qingwu waited on the tree for a long time, until he was frightened and began to suspect what happened to the fox demon brother and that mortal.

He was so anxious that he cut off the branch, gritted his teeth and wanted to take a look. At this moment, a warm greeting sounded from behind: "Hi."

Qingwu was so frightened that he almost fell down, and immediately turned his head to look, a weird and weird mask came into his eyes, and there were still some long flames floating around the man, just like will-o'-the-wisps, appearing like a night ghost.

The ghost also raised his hands in an attack gesture, and a long red tongue slipped out from the mouth of the mask: "Slightly—"

"Wow!" The ignorant thousand-year-old tree demon was so frightened that the branch under his feet broke at this moment, and he fell from his body in a panic with a blank mind.

Qingwu thumped to cast a spell to stop his fall, but the "ghost" on the tree waved his hand, and a flame fell into the sky above Qingwu, pressing him down like a mountain.

The shock and fall came too fast, before he had time to push the flames away to react, he fell to the bottom and was caught by a pair of hands.

Turning the ear is the heartbeat, raising the head is the jaw.

The tree demon's first reaction was to hide, and when he stretched out his hand to push the person away, he felt a sticky hand, and the smell of blood permeated the tip of his nose.

"I'm back." The prince of Zhou who caught him held him tightly, blood oozing from the knife wound on his heart that hadn't completely healed, "I passed through Manzhushahua in the underworld, and I came back to make you dislike me."

Qingwu's face turned into a steamed bun face: "Put me down!"

"I don't want to listen to you on this one." Chu Jun lowered his head and squinted his eyes to look at him, then frowned again: "I still owe you, you can't hide. Torture me, Qingwu."

"I've never heard of debtors chasing creditors!"

Chu Jun rubbed the tree demon: "I have heard of it now."

"you--"

In terms of tongue, he never said he couldn't win.

"I think I can also work part-time as a matchmaker when I'm free, or hang a sign to be a dog-headed military adviser." The priest lifted his mask on the tree and sighed twice, looked up at the sky, and counted with his fingers for a while, then bowed his head and charged. A man and a demon under the tree shouted: "Your Highness, sir! Today is cloudy and rainy, and the sky looks dark, but it is actually not far from dawn!"

Qingwu woke up suddenly, covered his eyes and trembled: "Youzhi, be obedient, let me go and go back to your palace."

Chu Jun whispered: "I can understand that, are you reluctant to torture me?"

Qingwu couldn't help trembling, but his words were very powerful: "Hey, don't be too sentimental, I will go through calamities, you will get in the way by my side."

"Then use me."

The Dryad froze.

Chu Jun lowered his head and kissed the back of his hand covering his eyes: "It's dawn, I'm still relying on you."

"I will be with you if you die in ashes, or for the rest of your life."
