Big breaker

Regarding the name of the wind bird, Hua Fei didn't bother to complain about it, and he didn't want to care whether the name was Chiji Chichiqiao or something else. Anyway, he knew that it would definitely not be eating chicken—he knew Fu Li This person is not very particular about some aspects, but no matter how he is not particular about it, he will not be so hasty.After all, he is an angel.

Compared to this, he cared more about other things: "Is this bird... the one I saw before? Or its baby? It looks much smaller."

"Because I wasn't offering sacrifices, it lost weight." Fu Li explained, "It wasn't that small just now, but I forced some from it. Without offering sacrifices..."

"Overdraft." Hua Fei nodded understandingly, "In our place, this kind of situation is called 'overdraft'... So what? This thing is actually equivalent to a switchboard? You give it all the languages ​​that are 'saved', and it It will give you power, which is an equivalent exchange; and if you don’t offer language as a sacrifice and ask for power directly, it will dry up because it advances power to you, is that what you mean?”

Fu Li thought for a moment, and seemed to understand Hua Fei's words.After a while, he nodded: "Yes."

"...No." Hua Fei pondered for a moment, but suddenly shook his head, "This logic is wrong."

Fu Li tilted his head: "How to say?"

"I always feel that there is something wrong with the process you mentioned." Hua Fei said, "In my personal opinion, it...is not quite like a 'sacrifice' to the gods, but rather like you and this A 'transition' between birds, understand?"

Fu Li looked at him silently, blinked, then lowered his head to pick the bandage on his shoulder.

... Well, it seems he didn't understand.

Hua Fei pondered for a moment, and expressed it in another way: "Let's put it this way, first of all, let's talk about your relationship with this bird. According to what you mean, you have always been doing business with this bird. You put the language Give it, and it gives back the equivalent of power for you to use, right?"

Fu Li nodded slowly, but his expression became more and more confused.He didn't understand, obviously he was going to introduce his own setting to Hua Fei, so why is it Hua Fei who is teaching him now?

"Okay, let's continue along this line of thinking." Hua Fei rolled up his sleeves unconsciously, sat down next to Fu Li, curled his fingers, knocked on the bed board as a blackboard, and took out a serious class "That is to say, there is actually a cycle between you and this envoy. The language used as a sacrifice, and the power with the element of wind, these two things are interchanged in this cycle. This also That explains why when you don't provide the language, you get less power from the windbird and the windbird itself gets smaller - because the cycle is out of balance. It's not the 'switch' it's the ' Conversion machine', and when it unilaterally gives power to you, there is no sacrifice for it to convert and supplement, so it will be damaged and exhausted, so you can understand?"

"...Hmm." Fu Li nodded hesitantly, but couldn't hear any difference between this passage and what he expressed before.Hua Fei tapped the bed board even harder, and said, "Then now comes the question, where is the 'Shi Yi God' you mentioned in this cycle?"

Fu Li: "..."

"That's why I find it strange. It stands to reason that you offer sacrifices to Shiyi God, and Shiyi God gives you power, and this wind bird just plays an intermediary role in it. But obviously, all your power is You got it from Fengniao, and if you stop offering sacrifices, it will only affect it, so in this relationship, where is the place of Shiyi God?"

Fu Li tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly: "Probably...at home?"

Hua Fei: "...huh?"

"I came out, and he stayed at home." Fu Li said, his tone suddenly became firm, as if he had found a very reasonable explanation, "He's not here, so there are only birds."

...What is this, an empty-nest god? !

Hua Fei had black hair, but after thinking about it, this seemed to make sense.Because the gods are not there, the envoys will collect sacrifices and distribute benefits on behalf of them... But I have never heard of any envoys who would make themselves kidney-deficient in order to distribute benefits on behalf of them?It's not like this is the way to take the blame.I have never heard of any god who can use himself as a conversion machine.It doesn't matter if you change the machine, the problem is that this person obviously also serves as Huabei...

Turning his head and staring at the miniature version of Fengniao for a while, Hua Fei scratched his head in puzzlement, then handed out his fingers and stretched them to the side of Fengniao.The little Fengniao sitting on the bedside wall lamp was originally standing motionless, like a sculpture, but when Hua Fei stretched out his hand, he turned his eyes slightly, and suddenly lowered his head.A trace of surprise flashed across Hua Fei's eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to call Fu Li, but before he could say anything, he saw the little bird smoothly press down its whole body, spread its wings, and draw a graceful The arc formed a movement like a salute, and then its outline quickly blurred, and then turned into a small stream of air visible to the naked eye, gently bypassing Hua Fei's fingers, and went straight to the window.

Fu Li was still tilting his head and thinking about what Hua Fei said, until the air flow gushed out of the window before he realized something was wrong, he raised his eyes in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"..." Hua Fei who came back to his senses hastily raised his hands, "I don't know! I didn't do anything! I didn't break it!"

Fu Li: "..."

"Don't be afraid." He comforted Hua Fei after he had probably figured out the situation, "It's not broken. You don't need to pay for it."

"Oh, that's good..." Hua Fei breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and then asked, "Have you ever tried its limit? Just don't give it sacrifices all the time, to see how far it can last? "

Fu Li stared blankly and shook his head again: "My teacher told me not to starve it."

"Don't starve who? A bird or a god?" Hua Fei asked, Fu Li recalled it for a while, then continued to shake his head, looking a little confused.

"You are too ignorant." Hua Fei was helpless, raised his hand to support his forehead, and said in a tone of hatred, "Let me tell you, offering sacrifices to gods is like looking for a gold master. There are things that need to be clarified." You have to figure it out first. Otherwise, the unhappiness of the cooperation is still a trivial matter. What if it causes trouble? Really, don’t believe me, I have seen many cases of those who sacrificed to the wrong god and ended up being killed. It's a pit, I have sacrificed so many years foolishly, and I don't know who it is, but in the end, the other party ran away with my sister-in-law. I don't know who to turn to for recovery, so I can only hide and cry. The risk inside is really It's very big, and there are so many pitfalls, especially now that the pheasant gods in various places are popping out like bamboo shoots every day... So you must understand this thing first, you see, you are now, confused, in case you are tricked What should I do? You’re not bad, it’s just a sacrificial language, what if it asks you to sacrifice something precious... Hey, wait a minute.”

After a pause, Hua Fei suddenly realized a question: "Why do you use language to sacrifice? What is this sacrifice like? Is it okay to not speak?"

Fu Li nodded.After a while, he said again: "The teacher let me."

Hua Fei: "What?"

"The teacher taught me to use divine power." Fu Li said, "Using power requires sacrifices, offering sacrifices. He said that since I don't need to speak, it's better to use words."

"What do you mean 'you don't need to talk'?" Hua Fei was even more confused, "Did you never talk before?"

Fu Li raised his hand and made an up and down gesture in front of his lips: "I live in the temple. You can't speak in the temple."

Hua Fei stared at him, his brows gradually frowned: "Then what about leaving the 'temple'? You can't keep silent. Is it the same for other contract breakers?"

"They have a 'home'." Fu Li replied, "After leaving the 'temple', they can talk and have someone to talk with them. But I don't have a 'home', so I live in the temple. Even if I leave, no one cares about me , and no one talks to me. The teacher will teach me to say a few words occasionally, but he won’t be there all the time.”

Hua Fei was quiet.He stared at Fu Li's dark eyes, the corners of his lips moved twice, and suddenly felt sore.Both the nose and the chest cavity were sore and swollen, and even the eyes were stained.He began to regret it, and began to hate the self who was chattering a few minutes ago just to entangle the sacrifice process.That's not the point at all, and it shouldn't be at all.The focus is only in front of him, the man in front of him, and his long silence.How deep is the loneliness behind this silence?Hua Fei didn't dare to think about it.He didn't know what the so-called "palace" looked like, but there was always such a picture in his mind, in the empty corridor, the little Fu Li was walking slowly alone, over one stone pillar after another, his body Accompanied by the pace of growing up, from childhood to youth, from youth to youth, from immaturity to maturity, from maturity to indifference, no matter how you change, you are always alone, walking slowly, in the corridor that seems to have no end .

The shadows of the stone pillars are cast on the corridor by the light, one by one, so clear, like the materialization of the years, and perhaps also like a cage.

Hua Fei tensed his cheeks and wiped his nose vigorously.

"Okay, since this is the case, then I think it's better for you to talk less in the future." After a few minutes, he finally calmed down, and said, his voice was still a little astringent, but his tone was much calmer, " After all, you still need to hunt and kill Wei Gui, and you will encounter such or that kind of thing in normal times, it would be pretty bad if you don’t have the power, right?”

Fu Li gave him a slightly surprised look, then lowered his eyelids, and nodded silently.

"However, when you go back next time, I suggest you ask your teacher if you can change a 'sacrifice'." Finger brushed his nose again, Hua Fei said again, Facing Fu Li's raised eyes openly, "After all, if you are talking with me like this, it seems strange to keep silent, right? ——Of course if I didn't say that you have to Sticking with me all the time, after all, it’s not a special relationship. And I’m a bit annoying sometimes, I know that. I mean, as long as I’m here, you don’t have to worry about it in the future There will be no one to talk to you, so if you choose to use language as a sacrifice because you are lonely, then you can consider another choice, because..."

Because I won't let you be lonely anymore.

Before the last sentence could be uttered, Hua Fei's hand was already tightly grasped by Fu Li.He raised his head in astonishment, and happened to bump into those black eyes, like eyes filled with night, as calm as ever, as hard to see through as always.

The half-opened mouth closed unconsciously, and Hua Fei's throat slid a bit, watching Fu Li's lips slightly open and close, closed and then slightly opened, as if watching the materialized "the other party is typing".After a long time, Fu Li closed his eyes forcefully, as if he was finally ready to speak, he opened his eyes and was about to speak, but heard a few "dong dong", Meijima pushed the door open and entered.

"Um... I'm here to deliver corn soup." Looking around between the two, Meijima's face showed some discomfort, "Then, the intentional guest asked you to come over, he seems to have some arrangements... But that shouldn't be urgent, it doesn't matter if you wait for a few minutes! Then, I, I'll put the soup down and leave, and you can continue to do your own thing and leave me alone... Is that okay?"
