The Pheasant Essence is going to be a big monster

Gu Tailai carried Guangyuan back to the inn. During this period, Lord Heshen cursed and quarreled all the way. After being hit by Gu Tailai dozens of times, he finally accepted his fate with his head full of grievances. Once he was put down, he automatically moved away from Gu Tailai. Ten steps around, stand in the corner.

Gu Tailai poured himself a glass of water, sat down on a stool, and pointed at Guangyuan: "Come here."

The child stood stubbornly in the corner, refusing to move a step, trying hard and arrogantly but weakly said: "I, I can't come here!"

Gu Tailai didn't force him, took a sip of tea slowly, and said to Ji Xiaocai, "Let Liansheng out."

Ji Xiaocai hurriedly opened the oil-paper umbrella, from feet to head, Liansheng's appearance slowly appeared, or because of the exposure to the sun, although it was covered by the umbrella, Gu Tailai and Ji Xiaocai were protecting it, compared to In the morning, his image was paler and thinner, but his attitude towards Ji Xiaocai was as warm as ever.As soon as he appeared, he just stared at him obsessively, turning a blind eye to the other two in the room.

Seeing Liansheng, Guangyuan cheered immediately, and ran out from the corner to touch him, but ran past Gu Tailai but couldn't run anymore—Gu Tailai stretched out a leg and stepped on Guangyuan's beautiful clothes. down the streamers.

"Put it away," Gu Tai said.

Ji Xiaocai said "Ah?"

Gu Tai said, "Liansheng, put it away."

Ji Xiaocai hurriedly put Liansheng back into the paper umbrella again. Guangyuan watched Liansheng disappear one step away from him, and clenched his two small fists tightly.Looking at it, Ji Xiaocai felt that the child was pitiful, and Gu Tailai was simply bullying the weak!

Gu Tai said, "Are you willing to come here now?"

Guangyuan turned his head "swipe", his big eyes were wide open, as if he was trying to suppress something.

Gu Tailai also said: "If you don't have the skills, you can learn from people who wear such flashy clothes, streamers, wide sleeves, and long hem. Do you still think that you are not ugly enough to lose?"

Guangyuan's small mouth was deflated.

Ji Xiaocai couldn't stand it anymore, and cautiously said, "Master Dao, he's just a child..."

Gu Tailai said, "He is two hundred years old and a dragon son. He can't even beat you. His life is in vain!"

Ji Xiaocai was deeply shocked, and knelt aside to cry silently.

Guangyuan frowned, endured and endured, and finally burst out crying, crying worse than dead parents, and kept cursing: "Stinky Taoist priest, bad Taoist priest, you are shameless! You Bully me as a child, you will have retribution! Woooooo! I asked my father, my eldest brother, my second brother, three four five six seven eight nine brothers to beat you, woo wa—”

Gu Tailai let him cry, and he only drank tea leisurely.When Guangyuan came to see him crying, he asked, "Why don't you cry? Keep crying!"

Guangyuan sucked his nose in confusion, tears streaming down his face.

Gu Tailai poured another cup of tea and pushed it over: "Drink."

Guangyuan said stubbornly: "I don't... burp... I don't want to drink..."

Gu Tailai didn't force him either, and asked, "Do you want to take Liansheng back?"

Guangyuan nodded.

Gu Tailai: "What do you want to go back to? Who is he to you?"

Guangyuan's face turned red in an instant, and he said in a voice not much louder than a mosquito, "He is my... the one I cover, and I protect him!"

Gu Tailai said, "Only your ability?"

Guangyuan's head bowed deeply, and unwillingness was written all over his body.

Gu Tai said: "You want to protect him, how can you do this? A dignified [-]-year-old dragon can only cry, make trouble, and hang himself. How did your parents teach you?" Seeing that Guangyuan couldn't answer, He asked again, "Do you know that this water ghost is dying because of you?"

Guangyuan raised his head in astonishment, Ji Xiaocai was also stunned, and asked, "Daoist, what did you say?"

Gu Tailai: "Zhou Zhaoji only said half of what he said in the morning. Even if you don't show up, Liansheng will almost be out of his wits. He has been a ghost in Jinhe for a long time, and he has an obsession in his heart that has become the climate. The obsession is too deep. , but he was trapped in the river with nowhere to trust him. After a long time, he gradually buried his past. This is the real reason why he forgot the past. If you don't show up, he will gradually weaken in this river , until it was swallowed up by obsession; you appeared, and gave him a possibility to realize his obsession, if he fulfilled his wish, he could re-enter reincarnation, otherwise, he would still die, faster than before.”

Guangyuan's eyes were red again, and he murmured: "How... I... I don't know... I thought I kept the little fool to protect him..."

Gu Tailai asked him, "You don't want Liansheng to leave, do you?"

Guangyuan nodded embarrassingly.

Gu Tai said: "Then you choose, take him back, you can spend a while with him, if you are lucky, one or two years, or else, find his past, send him into reincarnation, in these few days , it’s almost time for you to bid farewell, maybe decades later, you will see each other again.”

Guangyuan became serious and asked earnestly, "After decades, can we really see each other again?"

Gu Tailai replied: "I can't guarantee this. If you are destined, you may see each other again, but let me remind you that after Liansheng reincarnated, the past will be broken. He has a new destiny. You are not human. There may no longer be a place in his life."

What he said was extremely calm, but the content was extremely cruel. Even Ji Xiaocai felt like a heavy boulder was pressed against her chest when she heard it.A few years or decades, how is it compared to eternity?

He suddenly thought of the words that Gu Tailai said in Prince Jing's Mansion: "If you can't get rid of Lingxianyu, I will pay you for the rest of your life. When I die, you can think of other ways!" 』

Just for a moment, Ji Xiaocai felt panic for no reason!

Compared with the lifespan of a demon, the lifespan of a human being cannot be any shorter!He and Gu Tai have been together for almost two months now. At the beginning, he was very scared, thinking that one day he would be able to escape from this strange Taoist priest, and even his death became a subconscious deadline for escaping. I also feel that time passes too slowly, but I don’t know when it will start, and I feel that it is actually a good thing to be able to stay with Gu Tailai. Although I will be murdered and betrayed, I have a good time every day. time flies……

"Wait until I die..."

What will happen to me on the day Gu Tailai dies?

Hu Zhu said with a slight smile: "Then I will guard him for life and life. 』

Ji Xiaocai suddenly became a little confused, and seemed to realize something. Over there, Guangyuan had already come to a conclusion.

"I choose to help the little fool realize his wish."

Ji Xiaocai said "Hey": "If Liansheng fulfills his wish, he will leave, and you may not see each other in the future."

Guangyuan puffed out his chest like an adult, and said seriously: "You are stupid, this is better than the little fool disappearing forever!"

Ji Xiaocai still didn't understand: "Guangyuan, have you thought it through?"

Guangyuan said: "Of course I have thought clearly! Even if the little fool is reincarnated, he will not forget this god. This god is confident." He also said, "If he dares to forget this god, I will go to their house every day. Let’s make trouble! Besides, after a few decades, I will definitely become very powerful, and even your Taoist priest will definitely not be able to compare with me!” Said it with confidence, full of ambition.

Gu Tailai put down his teacup, and said with a slight smile, "I would like to abide by the will of Jinhe River."

Ji Xiaocai looked at Gu Tailai, and suddenly remembered that Hu Zhu had said something else.

She said: "You are still young, and one day you will find someone who makes you willing to stay together for the rest of your life." 』

However, even with the help of Guangyuan, it does not help much to pursue Liansheng's past, because Guangyuan went to Jinhe River God 30 years ago, and when he took office, Liansheng was already staying in Jinhe up.This is enough to prove why Ji Xiaocai failed to inquire about Liansheng from the residents near Jinhe - 30 years ago, there was no residence near Jinhe outside Changxing Town. It is during these 30 years that the population of Changxing Town has gradually increased Only then did some people move to the Jin River outside the town one after another, and it became a climate.

But, at least one thing is known, Liansheng passed away 30 years ago, if you want to inquire about him, it is more feasible to find an elderly person in Changxing Town.

Ji Xiaocai asked Gu Tailai if he could try to consult the local land master, but Gu Tailai said that such a thing could not be done with his ability.Ji Xiaocai felt somewhat strange that under the foot of Emperor Lin'an, Gu Tailai was still able to mobilize the local land to track down the matter of Taoist Lingxu, why couldn't he go to a small town?This is as puzzling as how to invite Beijing officials but not local officials.

Guangyuan said that if a Taoist priest can't do it, I can ask the gods, but after going there for a while, he came back empty-handed, saying that he was not there.Ji Xiaocai just remembered that the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the time when the gates of ghosts open. The land and city gods are busy balancing the yin and yang realms, preventing evil spirits from escaping and causing chaos in the world, and no one has time to meddle in such nosy matters.

But it's not nothing, Guangyuan is also considered clever, and asked the underworld official to copy the list of people who died in Jinhe in Changxing Town in the past hundred years, and checked them one by one.

Since the founding of this dynasty, there have been four emperors. It has been 11 years since the current emperor ascended the throne, and counting upwards, several emperors have reigned for 27, [-], and [-] years respectively. In other words, a century has spanned two dynasties.But in the last years of the previous dynasty, the taxes were too heavy and the people had no means of living. Gu Tailai judged that if Lian Sheng died in the previous dynasty, he should not have lived in this lotus water lamp. At that time, even survival was difficult, let alone It was the Qixi Festival, so it is generally believed that Liansheng should be a person who dates back from the reign of the current Supreme Emperor to the beginning of the dynasty.

However, after consulting the records from the beginning of the dynasty to the present, and even the records of the previous dynasty, there is not a young man named Liansheng who died in Jinhe on Qixi Festival.

"Could it be that Liansheng made a mistake, his real name is not Liansheng?" When Ji Xiaocai asked, Liansheng stood by his side, looking at him with joy, as if he liked hearing Ji Xiaocai call him by his name.

Ji Xiaocai turned to him and asked, "Liansheng, can you think about it again, what is your name and where do you live?"

He thought about it obediently, opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "My name is Liansheng, I am Liansheng, the one born in the lotus lantern."

Ji Xiaocai and Gu Tailai looked at each other, helpless.

Guangyuan squatted beside him: "I have known the little fool for 30 years, and this is the first time I heard him speak..."

Gu Tailai said: "The records of the Yin Division may not be complete, Liansheng may be an exception, otherwise he should have been arrested by ghost officers."

But in this way, it is even more impossible to find out.

Ji Xiaocai thought for a long time, then suddenly asked Gu Tailai: "Master, why did Liansheng pester me?"

Guangyuan immediately jumped up and said, "It's not that the little fool is stalking you, it's... it's..."

Ji Xiaocai touched her face and asked, "Do I look like the person he misses?"

Liansheng leaned over, and suddenly stretched out his cold hand, holding Ji Xiaocai's face and said, "Waiting...I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Guangyuan spit out a mouthful of tea, angrily hugged his waist and dragged him back, yelling: "Let go, let go! Little fool, don't touch those messy things, your hands will rot!"

Liansheng was hugged by him, both hands were still stretched forward, and said: "Liansheng...Qixi...I've been waiting for you for a long time! I can't wait...it's so lonely..."

Ji Xiaocai couldn't help turning her head to look at Gu Tailai, but saw him staring at her, as if thinking about something.

"Master..."

Gu Tailai asked: "Is the lotus water lantern on Qixi Festival for the sweetheart?" He seemed to be asking someone else, but he was just thinking.Ji Xiaocai hasn't answered yet, he has come to a conclusion, "Liansheng's obsession is undoubtedly love, and the object of obsession may be a man who looks like you. That man was probably also in this town back then. The two used to have feelings, but back then On the Qixi Festival, Liansheng made an appointment to meet the other party by the Jin River, but the other party refrained from the appointment."

Ji Xiaocai was stunned.

In a small town, a man falls in love with a man. He is a monster and knows how shocking it is, so he can only silently light a lotus water lantern on Qixi Festival to convey his feelings for the other party, but he should accept that lotus water lantern The person I was looking for never showed up, and for some reason, he died on the Qixi Festival of that year. From then on, he wandered by the Jin River forever, waiting day after day, year after year, until he forgot everything...

Guangyuan couldn't help letting go, Liansheng immediately rushed to Ji Xiaocai's side, shyly embraced his arm like a child and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and finally you are here, Liansheng is very happy!"

Ji Xiaocai felt uncomfortable and couldn't help asking: "Why didn't that person come? I know Liansheng is waiting for him!"

Gu Tailai: "It's nothing more than getting married or leaving, in short, I want to end this relationship."

Liansheng's eyes became wrong the moment he heard Gu Tai's words, he hugged Ji Xiaocai's arm desperately, and said tremblingly, "Don't...don't marry someone else...don't leave Liansheng... ..."

Gu Tai said, "It's the first type."

If you can't find the corresponding one in the records of the Yin Division, you can only start from the Yang World.In this regard, Gu Tailai was not as capable as Zhou Zhaoji, and by bragging and stuffing money to manage the business, the yamen's books were in hand early the next morning.However, the old dossiers made by Wu basically matched the records of the Yin Division, and there was no word about Liansheng. Ji Xiaocai took the portrait of Liansheng and compared it to her own face, and went to Changxing Town to ask some old people After looking around, no one said they recognized Liansheng or a man who looked like himself.

Ji Xiaocai thanked the seventh old man who asked, and walked to the other side of the street.As far as monsters are concerned, they won’t get tired after running for days, but Ji Xiaocai feels very tired. He doesn’t know if it’s the right idea to help Liansheng remember everything in the past, and if the past might be the reason for his death...

Without paying attention, she walked to the gate of the Yuelao Temple again. After Qixi Festival, the number of people entering and leaving the Yuelao Temple has not decreased. Ji Xiaocai looked at the people or demons coming in and out of the gate, a little confused.

He lived in the mountains and forests for 500 years. Apart from practicing, he didn't know what was there. He entered this world and met three couples so far. Although Huang Sheng and Zhao Yingluo had a good result, they also experienced many hardships. However, in such a field, when you reach Liansheng, you will lose your life, and you will not be able to escape until you die.

If love is something that makes people sad and uncomfortable, and even kills them, why are there so many people asking for it?

Ji Xiaocai was thinking vaguely, and suddenly felt someone standing in front of her, and looked up, it was the old man she had seen in the old temple of Sun and Moon.Ji Xiaocai was about to stand up and say hello to him, but found that she was limp and dumb, unable to move at all.

The old man looked at him, then at the umbrella he was carrying, suddenly pointed to his arms, and said, "You should return what belongs to others."

Ji Xiaocai watched helplessly as the old man stretched out his hand and took out something from his arms.It was a red silk ribbon, which was exactly the wishing ribbons tied on the big tree in the backyard of Yuelao Temple. Ji Xiaocai was under the tree that day, but for some reason, she came out with a piece of red silk.

Ji Xiaocai was about to say something when suddenly there was a "buzz" in her ear, she opened her eyes and saw that she was sitting on a stone in front of Yuelao Temple and taking a small nap.He still remembered what he saw in his dream, he reached into his bosom and took out a piece of red silk. The red silk seemed to be very old, and the color had been washed away by the wind and rain, making it look dull.He unfolded the red silk and saw that there were two rows of beautiful running script on it, which read: "I sincerely ask the heaven to have mercy, and wish to be with my younger brother for a lifetime. Brother Zhang Jin kowtowed and prayed, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month in the year of Kuimao."

Sudden bump on the shoulder, Ji Xiaocai raised her head, it was Gu Tailai.

Gu Tai said: "If you find someone, come with me."
