You Ming Aesthetics

Yan Shan took a step and walked slowly along the road back to the courtyard, every word Lin Wei said just now gradually came to his mind.

"I think if it's you, you will understand."

That's why Lin Wei chose to tell himself.

But can you fully understand it?

Do you really understand?

Yan Shan asked himself, would he have made the same decision as Lin Wei?

Give up half of your life, and after this life is completely wiped out, there will be no afterlife.

Give your all to save someone.

Yan Shan weighed the heavy price over and over in his heart, if it was him, would he be able to be cruel?

He can't give an answer now, the weakness in his heart has prevailed, Yan Shan refuses to force himself to think again, he seems to have realized what choice he will make, there is Lin Wei before, he can't say it.

No wonder the book refers to summoning demons as drinking poison to quench thirst.

It turned out to be the case.

After death, nothing exists outside of reincarnation. The writer of the book did not bluff, and it is indeed true that there is no redemption.

The method is extremely clever, but he is willing to sacrifice himself regardless of gains and losses. His decision has nothing to do with others, so you can forget me and continue to live a new life without even needing to say thank you for my efforts.

Yan Shan can't see through Lin Wei, but the only thing he knows is that Lin Wei always knows what he really wants.He couldn't compare this, Yan Shan didn't have any clear goals in his life that he wanted to give up everything to pursue.

Yan Shan walked slowly down the street, took out his phone and checked the time, it was almost six o'clock.

There was a message from Luo Beisheng that Wang Lei's condition was much better and he had resumed normal training.

Yan Shan replied a text message and asked: That's good, are you free in the evening?

Luo Beisheng quickly sent a reply: Yes.

Yan Shan replied: You take the mahogany pendant he is wearing and wait for me, let's meet, I will completely solve the problem that Wang Lei encountered.

After setting a meeting time with Luo Beisheng, Yan Shan stopped wandering and went back directly. On the way, he passed by an art supply store and bought stacks of yellow paper to put in his backpack. Two cinnabar.

Entering the gate of the community, greeted the cheerful Uncle Wang, went to the family building in the back row, and returned to the place where he lived, Yan Shan learned that the noise made by opening the door last time was so loud that the three delicacies rolled out of the refrigerator in fright The lesson of going down and falling on the floor, he was really afraid that the fat man Sanxian would really make a hole in the floor. This time he took out the key and opened the door lightly. As soon as Yan Shan entered the room, he heard a burst of rhythmic snoring Voice.

He followed the prestige and saw Sanxian grinning, sleeping soundly on the sofa with his legs upturned. It was lying on the leftover snack packaging bags, and all kinds of garbage were thrown all the way from the sofa to the ground, a large mess , the bag Han Wei gave him was almost eaten up by San Xian.

San Xian has her cat's eyes closed, and a long iron box containing fudge is still on one of her front paws, and she hugs her tightly even if she sleeps.

The corner of Yan Shan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at the ugly black cat who was sleeping and purring soundly. He didn't have time to take care of the cat at home. He didn't have any shame. He only ate and slept, and went out to pick up soft persimmons. Fatty, he changed into his slippers and lowered his voice, "Xiaobai? Xiaobai?"

After shouting a few times but no one answered, Yan Shan searched from house to house, but there was no sign of Xiao Bai at home.

Yan Shan tiptoed to avoid the leftover bags all over the floor and approached the sofa, frowned and poked the fat on Sanxian's stomach with his fingers, the black cat snorted twice, but didn't wake up, it turned over, The waist of the bucket was just pressed against a bag of potato chips that had been eaten, San Xian smacked his lips and snored again.

"San Xian! Wake up!" Yan Shan bent down and pushed it impatiently.

Sanxian slept like a dead pig and had no intention of waking up.

"Fatty man! Wake up!" Yan Shan stretched out his hand and pushed it two or three times.

No use at all.

He stared at the dead pig under his eyes, snorted disdainfully, thought about it, and said loudly: "Hi, is this a cake shop? I want to order a double-layer cheesecake, the largest size, layered with fruit, topped Serve that little cake..."

Sanxian's short legs subconsciously planed a few times, and said in a daze: "The small cake on the top needs mousse!"

Yan Shan put his hands on his hips and said with a sneer, "Oh, Mousse's is sold out."

Sanxian whimpered and said: "Then replace it with fruit, and put strawberries on the cake!"

"There are no more strawberries."

Sanxian immediately became popular, and it yelled: "Which broken cake shop are you! It doesn't matter what you want! Just close the door!"

"Then why don't you start a family by yourself? It's convenient and trouble-free to make cakes with this paw and eat with that paw. Don't you think so? Fat~fat~?" .

The black cat shivered in fright, and opened its eyes suddenly. Yan Shan above his head was condescendingly contemptuous of it. Sanxian rounded his green cat eyes, and murmured: "Yan, Yan, Yan, Yan Shan... you You, come back, come back..."

"Well, I'm back." Yan Shan narrowed his eyes dangerously and nodded, and asked, "Where's the little white man?"

Sanxian immediately got up and sat up straight, with his back straightened and his stomach pouted, and said in a low voice: "Fox, fox... still, haven't come back yet..."

Yan Shan narrowed his eyes, and looked at Sanxian from top to bottom, staring so hard that Sanxian's heart trembled.

After a while, he said slowly, "If you're not full, do you want me to order a cake for someone to deliver?"

The black cat shook its head back and forth like a drum: "No need! I'm quite full today!" Then it coughed, cleared its throat, and said cautiously: "That... Yan Shan, can you ...do me a favor?"

Yan Shan said with a cold face, "Why?"

The black cat pushed forward the paws covered in the soft candy tin box, shook it in front of Yan Shan, and hummed: "My paw is stuck in it and I can't pull it out...you should think of a way... "

Yan Shan: "..."

I don’t know how hard Sanxian tried to grab the candy, but the claws were stuffed too far in, and the mouth of the iron box was narrow enough to reach the candy. I wanted to pull out the claws, but I couldn’t shake it after trying twice, only to find that it was lag.

Look carefully at the end of the iron box with a few rings of tooth marks. It is estimated that Sanxian tried to bite the box and pull it out, but it didn’t work after a few bites. He could only stay at home and wait for Yan Shan to come back to rescue him. San Xian lay on the sofa while eating and waiting.

Being able to constantly play new tricks on the road to death and break through oneself, this wonderful flower of Sanxian is also considered to be extremely talented, which is rare in the world.

It is not surprising that Yan Shan is used to this, and he was too lazy to laugh at it. He pinched the iron box and tried to pull it once, but it was very tight. He was afraid of hurting Sanxian, so he didn't dare to use brute force to pull it. The iron box is too hard. It is also uncertain how deep Sanxian's claws are inserted, so it is not possible to directly cut open the iron box with scissors or iron pliers.

While thinking about what to do, Yan Shan joked casually: "You can just starve for a few days, lose weight, and your claws are thinner, so they will naturally pull/come out of the iron box."

San Xian curled his mouth and shouted: "That's also to lose weight first, the master has so much belly fat, in which life will it be the turn of the claws!"

Yan Shan glanced at it: "Usually I tell you to lose weight, you are disobedient, it's time for today. You should be glad that Xiaobai is not back now, otherwise if you ask him to help, he will probably just smile and go to the kitchen to get it without saying a word. Bring out the kitchen knife to help you chop cleanly, and solve the problem simply."

Sanxian was terrified when he heard that, because of the old grudge between him and Xiaobai, Xiaobai had a high possibility of doing this, so he asked tremblingly, "When will the fox come back?"

Yan Shan replied maliciously: "It will probably be soon."

Sanxian wanted to cry after hearing this, and meowed in a crying voice: "Yan Shan, help me get it out quickly!!"

In the end, Yan Shan went to the bathroom to find a bottle of bath liquid to lubricate, and carefully applied it on Sanxian's stuck front legs, and waited until the bath liquid seeped into the iron box along the gap, and then pulled the iron box with all his strength down.

Sanxian's paws were freed, and he happily pouted his buttocks, raised his tail, and stretched his waist. It happened that there was a lot of bath liquid on his fur, so he jumped off the sofa, took small steps, and ran to take a bath.

Sanxian ran halfway, remembering what happened and turned his head. Yan Shan was leaning over to pack the leftovers on the sofa. Remember to take a look at the mountain."

"understood."

Sanxian blinked his cat's eyes, hesitantly drew a circle on the floor with his short legs, and asked again: "Does your hand still hurt?"

Yan Shan turned his back to it, kept cleaning it up, and said casually, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

The black cat let out an "oh", and continued to take its bath with twists and turns.

Yan Shan cleaned the sofa and the floor again, put the rubbish into bags and tied them up by the gate, and the house returned to the clean and tidy state it was before he left home yesterday.Yan Shan washed his hands and approached the writing desk. There was a large white envelope on the desk, which read "The 49th undergraduate student of the demon department received by Yan Shan", and the signature was "Spiritology Research Higher Education Committee".He opened the envelope and poured out the contents. There was a student card, as well as the registration rules for freshmen, contact manuals and other documents.Yan Shan probably flipped through it, and one of them mentioned that freshmen should hand in the thesis assigned by the professor in charge before registration, and an email address was attached at the bottom, so that the completed thesis can be sent directly to the professor's mailbox.Yan Shan's thesis had already been completed, and that was it, and he didn't intend to make any further revisions, so he directly opened the computer document and roughly re-examined it from beginning to end.

"A Brief Discussion on the Influence of Fox Demon's Aesthetic Concept on Transformation"

There were a few black lines hanging on Yan Shan's forehead, and he thought to himself, who knows what expression Professor Han Wei will have after reading this paper. There are many points that the fox monster race can write, and this paper with an unimaginable topic is probably enough. There is no one before or after.After all, it was the first time to hand in homework. He originally wanted to write a more serious topic to impress Han Wei, but Xiaobai, who got angry, was really not easy to mess with. He insisted on letting Yan Shan write this, so he had to follow suit. The meaning of Xiaobai.

Yan Shan sent the thesis to the mailbox, and after handing in the thesis, a stone in his heart fell to the ground, and the rest could only pray that Han Wei would not embarrass him too much after reading it.

He didn't have anything else on hand now, so he took out the stack of yellow paper he had just bought from his backpack and cut it with a knife, mixed the cinnabar with water to dissolve it, and prepared the brush, inkstone and brush wash.Yan Shan was worried, the brush was stained with cinnabar, and he tried to draw a few strokes on the waste paper first. He felt that the injured right wrist was still flexible, and his writing was not affected too much. Then he changed to yellow paper, and silently carried the pattern in his mind. , Concentrating on drawing the spell.

Yan Shan drew three sheets in a row, spread them on the table, and waited for the ink to dry naturally.

This side was left to dry first, and he put away the paper, pens and utensils one by one. Over there, after taking a shower and blowing on the hair dryer, San Xian twisted out of the bathroom with his hair all over his body.

Yan Shan returned to rest on the sofa, Sanxian jumped up on his hind legs, leaned close to Yan Shan, stretched his neck and rested his head on his arm, rubbing against Yan Shan's furry itchy.

Before Xiaobai came back, Yan Shan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the phone book, flipped through the pages, and found the item "secondary illness".

San Xian stared at the screen of the phone curiously, raised his head and asked, "Who is the second disease?"

Yan Shan: "Xiaobai."

Sanxian: "..."

Yan Shan pressed the call button and called Xiaobai directly, and a machine recording sounded in the receiver: "The number you dialed has been turned off." He frowned and hung up the phone, thinking about it, Xiaobai ran out last night. It's been a day, and it's almost evening now, and the mobile phone that Xiaobai is carrying with him is about to run out of battery.

San Xian looked at Yan Shan's iPhone eagerly, and shouted unwillingly: "I want a mobile phone too! Xiaobai has it, and I want one too!"

Yan Shan glanced at it in distaste: "If you want to come out, you will come out. Can your fat paws press the touch screen mobile phone keyboard? I will buy you a mobile phone if you become a human figure. Don't eat or sleep all day, or go out without knowing it." Wherever you went, you went crazy, and you didn't see you doing serious things at all."

The time to meet with Luo Beisheng is approaching. Yan Shan thought about it, got up and went to find the Nokia that was eliminated before in the moving box. After turning it on, he found that there was still a lot of power left. I kept a spare mobile phone card, checked that there was nothing wrong with it, left the Nokia to Sanxian, told Xiaobai to call him immediately when Xiaobai came home, and then left this mobile phone to Sanxian. Fresh to play with.

Then Yan Shan entered the new mobile phone number into the phone book of the iPhone, and filled in the three words "fatty" in the name column.

Sanxian's short legs fiddled with the Nokia that was just given to it: "Did you give me this phone?" It played for a while, then muttered in a low voice: "Stingy, don't buy new ones for grandpa, let grandpa use what you don't want."

Yan Shan snorted coldly, and said, "Cultivate your human form before complaining. With your short legs, it would be nice to have a Nokia with a keyboard for you to use."

Before leaving the door, he warned again: "San Xian, don't forget what I told you, do you hear me?"

Sanxian patronized the freshness, lowered his head and was busy fiddling with the phone. It turned on the MP3 playback function to find songs to play, and replied absent-mindedly: "I remember it."

Yan Shan ignored it, took the garbage to be thrown out, closed the door and left.

........................

In the evening, the night market around the campus was very busy with people coming and going. Yan Shan met Luo Beisheng at a flower shop near HKUST. When he arrived, the staff in the store were choosing ribbons to pack a small bunch of white flowers. Bei Sheng waited silently.When he pushed the door open, the bell on the door frame in the store rang a series of crisp ringtones. The tall boy turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Yan Shan who had arrived.

Today, Luo Beisheng's overall state is a little abnormal. He looks unhappy with sullen brows, and his face is rarely smiling.After paying for the flowers, Luo Beisheng looked solemn, and said to Yan Shan in a low voice: "In that car accident, a school girl was seriously injured and passed away in the morning. We only got the news."

Yan Shan suddenly heard the sad news of the girl's death, and his heart was panicked. He closed his eyes and recalled the messy scene of the car accident that night: everyone was watching, the two girls lay motionless in a pool of blood, and the friends beside him couldn't stop crying. Crying, when the ambulance blew its horn and left, everyone still had a glimmer of hope that they could be rescued...

But it backfired.

Yan Shan sighed, "It's a pity to be so young."

He bought the same white flowers as Luo Beisheng, and then they left the flower shop. Both of them were in a bad mood. They didn't say anything to each other along the way, thinking about other things.

On the road where the car accident occurred in the school, the school quickly invited the construction team to repair two vehicle speed bumps, and a very eye-catching "slow down" sign was placed at the gate.At the bend where the car accident happened, students placed flowers on the side of the road to mourn the deceased alumnus, and one of the flowers included a brown teddy bear with a bow around its neck.

Yan Shan and Luo Beisheng leaned over and placed the white flowers in their hands next to the teddy bear, stood there for a moment with solemn expressions, and then turned and left.

Luo Beisheng just noticed that Yan Shan's right hand was wrapped in gauze when he put the flowers, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Yan Shan said nonchalantly, "Accidentally swiped."

Luo Beisheng quickly asked again: "Is it serious?"

Yan Shan shook his head: "It's nothing."

The two walked back to the school gate. At this time, the sky was almost completely dark. Yan Shan raised his hand and pointed to the intersection not far away, and said, "Let's go to that intersection. Did you bring the mahogany pendant?" ?”

Although Luo Beisheng didn't know what Yan Shan was going to do, he trusted Yan Shan, so he didn't say much. He followed Yan Shan's arrangement carefully, found a peach wood pendant from his pocket, and put it gently on Yan Shan's pocket. hand.

They walked to the edge of the intersection, at a corner of the street where few people pass by, Yan Shan carefully took out the three spells he had written from his backpack, flattened them one by one, wrapped them in peach wood and folded them tightly, and then used The lighter ignited them, and when the fire was burning, Yan Shan let go of his hand, and the talisman burned into a bright fireball and fell to the ground, but within a minute, the fire was unexpectedly and quickly extinguished, leaving only a small piece of charred residue.

Luo Beisheng looked at Yan Shan's extremely skillful actions in amazement. He couldn't understand the patterns on the yellow paper that were drawn with red pens like spirit snakes and had no clear meaning. Why did he wrap the peach wood pendant and burn it?After being ignited, the fire burned much faster than normal, and the fire was more intense, and it burned out in a very short period of time. The whole process was indescribably weird.

Everything in front of him was unprecedented in Luo Bei's life, beyond his limited cognition.

Luo Beisheng hesitated for a while, then asked softly, "Yan Shan, did you draw the yellow paper yourself?"

Yan Shan turned his head and was thinking about something. He looked straight at Luo Beisheng without dodging his eyes. After a long time, he made up his mind and replied, "Yes."

Yan Shan said: "I'm sorry, I lied to you before. I'm not a student of Normal University, and I don't study Chinese. I do go to school, but I go to another school. Few people have heard of my major."

Luo Beisheng's eyes were a little dazed: "...Really."

"My major is related to the twilight, and I am free from modern civilization. The mahogany pendants and yellow charms you see are all part of what I really learned, and it is also the world I am really in."

Luo Beisheng couldn't understand: "Youming?"

Yan Shan looked up at the dark blue sky above his head, and said slowly: "'Look up to observe astronomy, and look down to observe geography. This is why you know Youming." Youming first came from "Zhouyi? Later, with the passage of time, the interpretation became broader: day and night, yin and yang, life and death, the world and the underworld, people and ghosts and gods, good and evil and virtuous and foolish. But no matter what, they are nothing but tangible or intangible things , the world is full of everything, but that’s all.”

Luo Beisheng smiled with his eyes bent, showing the dimples on his cheeks: "I still don't quite understand, it sounds very profound."

Yan Shan didn't continue to explain, but instead asked him: "I lied to you, are we still friends?"

Without hesitation, Luo Beisheng said seriously: "You must have a reason why it was inconvenient to say it at that time, so I don't mind, I will always treat you as my best friend." He added with a smile: "Thank you for helping me this time."

Because he often needs to change his residence, it is difficult to live in one place for a long time. Yan Shan's life circle is pitifully narrow, and he has almost no friends around him.

The big boy in front of him was the first friend he made after moving this time.

I don't care that I have lied to him; although I don't understand the world I live in, I don't hate it, and my attitude is very tolerant.You must know that in today's advocating science, what he mentioned is considered heresy in the eyes of others. If he speaks rashly, he will probably be scoffed at or criticized.

"This is the fifth day after moving, and I have found new friends." Yan Shan thought happily, "It's a good start."
