After Bai Shiqing was rescued by Lin Ziyi from the flower demon, he listened very carefully to what she said about the cause and effect of the past life, and politely declined her wish to repay her favor in this life.

Lin Ziyi was more persistent, and after a few soft and hard times, Bai Shiqing accepted it with half push and half refusal.

This village is remote and isolated from the world, and the flames of the Anshi Rebellion did not affect this place.

Lin Ziyi and Bai Shiqing lead a relatively peaceful life. Every day is nothing more than playing the piano, chatting, watering the flowers, and reading.Occasionally when she has nothing to do, she would accompany him to the mountains to collect herbs. Although her pharmacological knowledge has not increased, she still doesn't know anything except ginseng and ganoderma.

Lin Ziyi has always liked bookish people, so she didn't feel tired of this kind of life, on the contrary, she enjoyed it.

A lone man and a widow living in the same house naturally arouse gossip.

Lin Ziyi is a demon, so she doesn't care about it.However, Bai Shiqing is a scholar after all, and he has never thought about the difference between a human and a demon. He just cares more about Lin Ziyi's reputation as a girl.

So externally, they have always been called brothers and sisters.

Bai Shiqing is gentle and elegant, well-read poetry and books, while Lin Ziyi is lively, cheerful, and easy-going, so the matchmakers in the village who came to propose marriage broke down many thresholds.The attitude also changed from "I'll tell you what's good about that little girl from Li Er's family" at the beginning to "What do you think of the girl from Wang's family? Well, I know it's a waste of time to come."

In fact, Lin Ziyi is happy to hear this, after all, in her impression, holding a red line for a benefactor is also a very traditional way of repaying.

Therefore, every time the matchmaker left, she would go to Bai Shiqing's side to sway for a while, thinking about what Bai Shiqing would like.

However, Bai Shiqing always laughed without saying a word, and then calmly found a reason to punish her for copying Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" a hundred times, so that she practiced her dog crawling characters into a character that was once surpassed by her former master. I don't like her handwriting, and my father, who loves calligraphy and painting in the world, is now praising her again and again.

At that time, when I started to practice calligraphy, I complained in my heart that Bai Shiqing was too unsympathetic and cherished jade, and he was just a scholar in vain.

Today, however, even thinking back is a luxury.

Lin Ziyi told Ouyang Shaogong the story of Bai Shiqing's rescue from the trap in her previous life, and the clips of her getting along with Bai Shiqing.

Ouyang Shaogong closed his eyes slightly when he heard this, but asked: "Oh? Now that there is reincarnation, I don't know if Miss Lin prefers the previous life of Bai Shiqing who saved you, or the Bai Shiqing who has been with you day and night after reincarnation? "

Lin Ziyi frowned, and asked strangely, "Why do you all ask such questions?"

Ouyang Shaogong frowned, opened his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "He also asked this question?"

Lin Ziyi nodded, "I have asked several times."

Ouyang Shaogong chuckled lightly and said: "Thinking about it, maybe I have a predestined relationship with that Bai Shiqing. I don't know how Miss Lin answered him?"

Lin Ziyi tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied slowly: "I didn't answer him before, because I don't quite understand why he asked such a question. After all, reincarnation is just a different body, but the soul is still the same. "

She sighed slightly, "It's just that after sleeping for 500 years, I have figured it out a lot. Even if the reincarnated soul is the same, but without those memories and the past, it is still different after all. After all, the people who get along with me day and night are after reincarnation. Bai Shiqing, for him, 81 thunderbolts hit the top of his head, although it hurts but he never regretted it. If it was his previous life, I might not have done anything."

Hearing the words, Ouyang Shaogong stared at Lin Ziyi, lowered his eyes for a while, and said softly: "Excuse me, Miss Lin likes that Bai Shiqing?"

Lin Ziyi was stunned for a while, before opening her mouth to say: "I thought I liked it at first, but now that I have someone I like, I realize that my liking back then was just like a friend and confidant. When I was with Bai Shiqing , my heart is always yearning for the colorful world outside the small village, and I only care about running out to play by myself. After falling in love with Brother Huatian, the world is prosperous, and I always want to take him to see it, but I lose interest by myself. Like It’s still different from liking.”

Ouyang Shaogong looked far away, seemed to be looking somewhere, and said with a low sigh: "The world is indeed prosperous. It is a great pleasure in the world to be able to bring the one you love to visit."

Lin Ziyi held her chin and asked, "Listen, Shaogong, do you have someone you like? With your calculating nature, the girl you like is afraid that you will suffer. Which girl is it?"

Ouyang Shaogong seemed to be touched by this scene of recalling the past, and Lin Ziyi's normal reply brought a sense of familiar tranquility, and as soon as his mind relaxed, he blurted out: "She is the princess of Penglai... ..."

Having said this, it came to an abrupt end.

Lin Ziyi tried hard to think back for a while, and said: "Penglai...ah, is it the Penglai that was destroyed by some natural disaster?"

Ouyang Shaogong's eyes turned cold, but he didn't say anything else, he just said indifferently: "The matter under me is not worth mentioning, it's better for Miss Lin to talk about why the mountains and rivers are beautiful here, Miss Lin and that Bai Shiqing also get along very well, But it has become what Miss Lin fears?"

Lin Ziyi sighed quietly, "Sigh, how did the Changbai Mountain Flowers become so reduced to the point where they have to rely on storytelling to protect themselves? If you don't pay me and invite me to eat dragons, it's like Ouyang peeling the skin and knowing how to exploit me."

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

Ouyang Shaogong: "... Miss Lin is forcing me to tear the mink fur?"

Lin Ziyi murmured unwillingly, "...how could she be so grumpy when she looks gentle and gentle."

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

It's all because of you!

Lin Ziyi looked at him suspiciously, "Wait, how do you know that I am a mink? Have you been paying attention to me for a long time?"

Ouyang Shaogong followed her words and said perfunctorily: "I came here to plot against you, how could I not even know about these things."

Lin Ziyi was lying on the table, rather dejected, "I don't know what to do with me? It's no good. My whole body is only a bit more expensive than the skin on my body, but it's not long enough to make a vest. .Your stature doesn't seem suitable for a white sable scarf, don't you want to use me as a scarf for your sweetheart?"

Ouyang Shaogong laughed softly, "Ms. Lin, why should you underestimate yourself? If it is really worthless as you said, why should I sit here and endure it. Don't worry, no one will think about your fur."

Endure again and again, sounds like a pretty bad word.

Lin Ziyi felt sensitively that Ouyang Shaogong would flip the table if the conversation continued, so she decided not to make jokes, and continued talking honestly.Although, she didn't know why Ouyang Shaogong was so interested in her past.

Although Lin Ziyi enjoyed the leisurely life in Taoyuan Township, she had only come down the mountain not long ago, and the outside world attracted her far more than staying here.So, seeing that there would be no more daring flower demons coming to harass Bai Shiqing, he happily ran out of the small village and continued to travel around the mountains and rivers.

The world outside is still at war.

Lin Ziyi felt that Bai Shiqing was a frail scholar who couldn't hold back his shoulders, and those monsters liked this kind of scholar the most.In case of going out together, I didn't take good care of him and caused him to have an accident, but instead harmed him.

What's more, after all, Bai Shiqing used to be an official, and was dismissed because of the war and went to live in seclusion in Taoyuan Township. If he saw the ruined scene outside, he might have finally adjusted his mood and would be haunted by sadness.

Therefore, every time Lin Ziyi travels, she is alone.

And Bai Shiqing had no objection to this, just smiled gently as usual, standing at the entrance of the village watching her leave from a distance.

However, the accident happened when Lin Ziyi returned from her last outing.

When she returned, the sky had just been polished, and there was only a faint light among the clouds.

At this time, Bai Shiqing should have just woken up and was preparing the tools to go up the mountain to collect medicine in the courtyard.

But when Lin Ziyi stepped into the small courtyard, the tools for collecting herbs were still there, but she couldn't see him, and there was only silence.

She pushed open the door and whispered Bai Shiqing's name, but what she got in return was deathly silence.

Lin Ziyi originally thought that maybe this Bai Shiqing was sleepless in the middle of the night and ran out to relax.

However, from sunrise to noon, she never saw anyone return.

Most of the flower bushes in the small courtyard withered, only a few flowers were left with their heads down, listless.

Staring at this scene, Lin Ziyi felt a slight chill in her heart.

Bai Shiqing has been taking good care of them all along, it is absolutely impossible to let them decay like this, he is afraid that something happened.

Lin Ziyi allocated some cultivation bases to save the lives of those flowers, and when they calmed down for a while, she hurriedly asked about Bai Shiqing's whereabouts.

The flower demons regained their energy and chirped: "The scholar ran away with a Taoist-looking man. I heard passers-by say that the Taoist seems to be from a Taoist temple in the south. The scholar hasn't come back for several days, and no one has taken care of us." .And that Taoist priest is weird, avoiding us while talking to the scholar."

Lin Ziyi thought for a moment when she heard the word Taoist, but she vaguely remembered the rumors she heard along the road.

It is rumored that there is a small Taoist temple not far from Taoyuan Township, which has become very famous recently.

The master of the temple claims to be the reincarnation of the gods, and he comes to save all living beings and resolve disasters in the world.One does not seek fame, and the other does not seek profit. Healing diseases and avoiding disasters does not require a single penny.

There are many Taoist temples that pretend to be the reincarnation of gods, but are actually cheating and abducting.What's more, it's all their Taoist affairs. As a monster, she doesn't have that much sense of justice to expose them, so she doesn't bother to care about them.

So Lin Ziyi only thought it was funny when she heard it, and didn't take it to heart.

Who would have thought that Bai Shiqing would be involved with that person in the Taoist temple.

Out of caution, Lin Ziyi turned into her original body, intending to sneak in to find out the truth.However, before she poked out anything, she was treated as a cage covered with spells, as if they already knew she would come and waited for her there.

Xu Benhuai's face didn't have the scars drawn by her at that time, it just looked like a fair and handsome young man.

He looked at her with a smile, and said to her: "I thought that what the ancients said was just a lie. But today, in this Taoist temple, there is a little white mink who has thrown himself into the trap. I was wrong. What? You hurried to this Taoist temple, are you going to give me a meal or dinner?"

The technique on the spell is very sinister, and the slightest touch will cause pain to the bone.

Lin Ziyi suffered a lot, so she could only curl up together, try not to touch those charms, and asked impatiently, "Where is Bai Shiqing? You let him go."

Xu Benhuai was not displeased, he pretended to think for a while, and then slowly said: "You mean that scholar. If you want to see him, I will naturally take you to see him."

Although his eyes were full of smiles, his tone was malicious, "It's just that I can't help him if he is willing to go with you."

Xu Benhuai picked up the cage and led Lin Ziyi through the corridor to an alchemy room.

Lin Ziyi was wondering what kind of place it was, when she saw a person lying on a stone bed not far away.Although his face was unclear, the attire clearly belonged to Bai Shiqing.

Lin Ziyi subconsciously wanted to rush over, but was blocked by the yellow talisman and shivered in pain.

Xu Benhuai shook his head, and seemed helpless to say sarcastic remarks, "Why are you so impatient, you will see it from left to right, but you just don't want to wait."

He walked over slowly, put the cage on the stone bed, and said in a low tone, "Look, is this the Bai Shiqing you are looking for?"

Bai Shiqing's face was always calm and indifferent.

He lightly closed his eyes and lay on the stone bed, as if he was in a dream, unwilling to be woken up.

Lin Ziyi stared blankly at his pale face and lifeless appearance, and didn't know how to react for a while.

Xu Benhuai chuckled happily when he saw her appearance.

As if he just remembered something, he whispered to Lin Ziyi: "Do you want to hear what the scholar said at the end?"

His palm was pressed against the depression in the stone wall, the stone door shook twice, and opened in response to the sound, revealing the blazing Eight Diagrams Alchemy Furnace inside.The ferocious faces intertwined together, and the screams of horror resounded in the ears.

Lin Ziyi's eyes widened in disbelief, and she said in a trembling voice, "You, this is..."

Xu Benhuai laughed, his tone light and careless, "As you think, their souls are here. Naturally, the scholar you are looking for is also here."

Lin Ziyi looked at the raging fire devouring their souls, and felt that those ferocious faces were Bai Shiqing, but they were not.

Xu Benhuai also looked at the screaming soul in the alchemy furnace, but his expression was smiling, "My yellow talisman is just a small fight, but it hurts a hundred times in the alchemy furnace. I also blame the scholar for his bad luck. Believe me and come here. You are a demon, and you should know how painful it will be for a living soul to be stripped from your body, and he wants you to see his wailing appearance."

Lin Ziyi said with a dull expression, "I will kill you."

Xu Benhuai picked up the cage, looked at her, and suddenly frowned, "If you hate me, it's good."

"Xu Benhuai." He whispered his name, seemed to glance at her, paused and continued, "If you want revenge, you should know the name of your enemy."

Ouyang Shaogong listened calmly, but at the end he sighed lightly, "Miss Lin, have you ever thought that maybe Bai Shiqing is not dead?"

Lin Ziyi frowned and retorted: "Impossible. The corpse is there, and I went to the underworld to ask Judge Lu, and Bai Shiqing's soul has indeed dissipated."

Ouyang Shaogong raised his eyebrows lightly, and said vaguely, "I was wrong. Bai Shiqing's soul has indeed dissipated. Before meeting Miss Lin...it dissipated."

Sensitively, Lin Ziyi felt something was wrong, and looked at him defensively, "What do you mean?"

Ouyang Shaogong seemed to be tired of continuing to pretend, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he pulled out a cold smile, and said plainly: "Ziyi and I haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, how can we be so unfamiliar? Somewhat sad."

Seeing that she was still a little puzzled, he couldn't help but sighed and shook his head slightly, "It seems that Ziyi still doesn't understand. The Bai Shiqing you mentioned, and Taoist Jingming who had a relationship with you once."

He paused, stroked her long hair with his fingers, his tone was gentle but made people want to stay away, "It's all me."
