Bone

Regardless of Sanjiu who slipped out of the talisman pretending to cry and acting coquettishly along the way, the two finally stuffed him back into the talisman and brought him back to Qingyuan.

When entering the city, you have to go through the formation of knowing good and punishing evil. Not surprisingly, Tan Fengyue was slapped again not lightly but not seriously.Counting the one when I left the city yesterday, this was already the second time.

Thinking that he would have to spare time to mend his split soul, and possibly recall his dishonest self, his complexion was not very good-looking, and he pinched the bridge of his nose with heavy eyes.

Qin Nianjiu didn't know anything about the past he recalled, he only thought that he was beaten by the knot, his face turned blue, and he stuck behind him like a small tail, and he asked him with worried eyes, "...Are you all right? Really? Doesn’t it hurt? Can you still go? ——Otherwise, don’t do today’s work, go back and rest first?”

...What time is it, and I still want to work.Tan Fengyue gave him a sideways glance speechlessly, but she didn't reject his proposal, and said politely to him: "Then I will thank Tianzun, and one person will do two jobs."

Inwardly slandering that this patriarch is really lazy, Qin Nianjiu nodded with his mouth curled up, and walked through the dark doorway with him.

Returning to Qingyuan, what catches the eye is still the peaceful scene of the paradise—but it is a bit more human.Illuminated by the colored glaze, the townspeople who are walking on the road, resting on the street corner, and sitting in the workshop are talking and laughing. Against the background of the blue sky and the rising sun, it is really like stepping into the world. Fantasy world.

... If it weren't for the fact that this city dweller is either incomplete or lacking in five senses, it would be more similar.

Now that all the ghosts have Qiqing, the last time they met, they had a bad quarrel, Qin Nianjiu originally thought that these ghosts would not give them any good looks, but the result was just the opposite.

Turning around and seeing them entering the city, all the ghosts dropped their vigilance one after another, and as if they were relieved, they put on a kind face. Apart from the faint gratitude, they seemed to show a little ... Joking and playfulness?

Seeing that the ghosts simply grinned at them, then turned their heads and went on with their own business, Qin Nianjiu looked away in a daze, and gently tugged at Tan Fengyue, "...what's wrong with them?"

It's all about being grateful, after all, it was the two of them who undid the restraint on their souls and returned their seven emotions. It is understandable that they have feelings in their hearts, but what about the banter and playfulness?

"..." Tan Fengyue is more humane than this ghost, her brows twitched inexplicably, she only felt that the soul body that was already in pain was a little bit more painful, "It should be what Gong Buhuang said to them after we left... "

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a white-faced dead soul dressed as a scholar looked at them for a few moments, came closer and bowed to salute, and thanked politely: "Thank you two for persuading the city lord and returning us. With seven emotions. Although we respect and love the city lord, and understand the city lord's concerns and considerations, we still have to thank you both—"

Qin Nianjiu shook his head hastily, and said with a smile: "Where is it? To put it bluntly, we are just for ourselves—" that ghost servant boy...

In the middle of his words, the dead soul nodded with a clear face, and said with emotion: "Yes! There is a saying that 'humanity is as deep as the sea, and it is not half as deep as lovesickness', the two of you are so true, it has already made my brother and I Extremely heartbroken, he finally broke the restriction and thanked us..."

"……what?"

What the hell is he talking about?Qin Nianjiu didn't understand what he meant all of a sudden, looked at him blankly, listened to him say a lot of thanks, and then said respectfully: "'If you want to tell someone about lovesickness, shallow lover I don’t know’!, I’m not a superficial lover, so I know that the two lovers are not even afraid of the city lord, it’s really teaching people—”

Qin Nianjiu finally understood the phrase "Lovesickness" on the left and "Lovesickness" on the right, no matter how dull he was, his throat choked up for a while, and he looked at him incredulously, "..."

What the hell did Gong Buwang lie to the dead souls!

The dead soul in front of him was probably a kind-hearted person before he was alive, he had no taboos, and he didn't have any guards on his lips, and he was still talking about "Long lovesickness, heartbreaking", "It's hard to express affection", "You two are really affectionate"... Seeing that old ancestor, he turned around with a cold face, swung his sleeves and left.

Qin Nianjiu: "..."

He was still stupid, the self-talking dead soul slapped his forehead, and said angrily: "Ah, look at me, I'm too busy feeling, and I haven't finished my work yet!"

Everyone is a citizen of Qingyuan City, so there is no distinction between high and low status, he stepped forward half a step, and patted Qin Nianjiu's shoulder familiarly, "Since you have returned, don't delay any longer - I will go to work soon Bar."

"..." Qin Nianjiu explained that it was not true, and it was not true if he did not explain, so he could only respond stiffly, watching him plunge back into the workshop.

Thinking that the ancestor must have gone back to his room to recuperate, Qin Nianjiu moved to the edge of the city wall without knowing how to move his hands and feet. As soon as he stood still, Sanjiu sneaked out from the talisman.

Afraid of being caught and taken to work, he first carefully checked that there was no one else on the left or right, then he breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Qin Nianjiu's arm, and asked eagerly, "The 'Lovesickness' that ghost brother said just now?" What does it mean? What is 'true love' and what is 'infatuated love'? Oh, and what is 'when the love is strong'—hmm!"

Seeing the innocence written all over this kid's round face, Qin Nianjiu couldn't tell if he was ashamed or annoyed, so he quickly covered his mouth, grinning his teeth and threatened: "...If you continue to quarrel, I will throw you back to work in the workshop!"

Hearing this, Sanjiu immediately let him go, and consciously hid in the shade of a tree to cool off, only two eyes still hung on him, drifting up and down thirsty for knowledge.

The more Gui Jun kept his secret and didn't answer him, the more he couldn't suppress his curiosity, and even gradually overwhelmed his reluctance to go back to work——

Huh?If the ghost king doesn't want to say it, then he can ask the ghosts in the workshop, right?

Thinking of this, he puffed out his chest and yelled, "Ghost Lord, you are busy, I will go around the city!"

After all, without waiting for the ghost king to react, he slipped away in the blink of an eye.

Qin Nianjiu: "..."

Forget it, anyway, this Qingyuan City is safe, so there shouldn't be any incidents... At most, it's just a few chatters with children of the same age.He himself still had a headache, and he had no intention of catching Sanjiu back, he just rubbed the corner of his forehead and cursed at Gong Buwang, while opening his eyes to check the formations in the city.

... Then again, I don't know where that Gong Buwang has gone. It's been a long time since I came back, and I haven't seen her anymore—maybe it's because they are afraid that they will hear the rumors of the dead souls after they come back, and they want to find her. She settled the score, so she slipped away as soon as possible, right?

As soon as I thought about it in my heart, I saw a red shadow drifting down from the corner of my eye.

In the cool shade under the tree, Gong Buwang looked at him with folded arms, and said with a half smile: "You're back?"

……

At the same time, Tan Fengyue had already poured three cups of hot tea in the room, and poured herself a fourth cup.

The fragrance of tea is lingering, warm and refreshing, the tea enters the throat, and slides warmly into the abdomen——finally, some of the anger aroused by Gong Buwang was extinguished.The tea is good tea, he lowered his eyes, and was about to take another sip, but his throat tightened suddenly, causing him to choke and cough a few times.

...was hacked by the formation twice in succession, it was really a little bit reluctant.

only……

He sat at the table with his head propped up, his eyes resting on the clear glass cup in his hand, and he sighed rarely.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to face it, or he just stays in front of his eyes... Although he doesn't remember the past, hasn't the past fifty years passed smoothly?With money in hand and cultivation by his side, now there is a ghost beside him who says he wants to save his own bones, but has been worrying about others, and bickering all day long is also a relief--so, why not Do you want to pursue the past that obviously ends in sorrow?

As if he didn't even realize it, he actually counted that ghost as an example of "staying in front of his eyes". He just stared at the glass cup in his hand, full of desires.

But no matter how he hesitated, he couldn't let his spirit be split like this... With another soft sigh, he finally put down the cup helplessly, and mobilized his spiritual power reluctantly.

……

On the other side of the city wall, Qin Nianjiu looked at Gong Buwang who suddenly appeared under the tree with his mouth twitching, and said angrily, "Miss Gong, what did you say to all the dead souls!"

Seeing that the ghost had returned to Qingyuan as promised, Gong Buwang was in a good mood, hummed softly with a composed expression, and said calmly: "I just said that the two of you have a deep love, and you don't want your heart to be restrained by the prohibition, so I took advantage of it with you." I broke the ban during the competition—"

She raised her eyebrows, "Why, are you dissatisfied?"

"..." Qin Nianjiu ground his molars for a while, "Miss Gong still asks?"

Gong Buwang raised her red lips and shrugged her shoulders innocently, "It's you who kept saying that there must be seven emotions, and that 'human' should be 'human'. This is good. Now that they have seven emotions, naturally they also You will diverge your thinking and generate some gossip, won’t you? ——Why, regret it?”

Seeing that she was put together by them, she was secretly annoyed, and insisted on picking something to fight against them to make her feel at ease. Qin Nianjiu was speechless for a while, and he didn't want to argue with her slightly childish behavior. He could only look at her helplessly, pursing his lips, "..."

Qingyuan City seemed to be sunny forever, and the warm sunlight leaked through the gaps in the leaves, completely dispelling the chill on Gong Buwang's body.She looked at Qin Nianjiu who was speechless for a while, and suddenly smiled, feeling that he should have such a deadpan expression for no reason.

The mood seemed to be a little better, she looked around, but she didn't see Tan Fengyue who was used to being by his side, so she asked, "Where is the one surnamed Tan, hasn't come back?"

It's rare for her to take the initiative to ask about that ancestor... That's right, don't these two people still have some unfinished business.Qin Nianjiu unconsciously twitched the corners of his lips. He didn't say that he was hacked by the formation when he entered the city, but only vaguely said: "He's not feeling well, so he needs to rest for a day."

What's the matter... That annoying person also came back.Gong Buwang curled his lips unconsciously, but didn't say much, just said "oh", then folded his arms again, as if he was about to supervise the work, and raised his chin at Qin Nianjiu, " Keep checking."

"..." Isn't it the end of the frontier? Hearing that the ancestor was ill, why didn't he express it?Qin Nianjiu glanced at her, opened his mouth, finally swallowed the suggestion of "Should I go and visit?", and turned around to check as he said.

Under the tree and beside the city wall, there are two red shadows, the wind and the sun are bright, and there is a burst of birdsong.

The two people on the other side of the city wall were very harmonious, but Tan Fengyue, who was repairing his soul in the room, was not so happy.

Different from the last time, this time he was slashed twice in succession, which was naturally much more serious, not to mention the itching and pain of the reconnection of the soul gap—unsurprisingly, he caught a glimpse of the past again in a daze .

It was also different from last time, this time it was not only the sound that flooded into my mind, but also a short segment of incomparably blurred images.

……

——"Hey hey!"

...Although he is a little immature, his voice is still correct, with ups and downs in pitch, which can be described as quite disturbing to him.

In the picture, he is really young, he should be walking on the crowded street, he was pushed by the crowd and he was very at a loss, yelling indiscriminately: "Don't push, don't push! You stepped on me! Hey Why don't you apologize?! Do you know how to be polite, you man!"

The feeling of being pushed and trampled was very real, and Tan Fengyue, who was outside the screen of the direct teacher, frowned tightly.

His soul in the picture was almost squeezed out, and his voice became mournful, "Damn——"

...It is indeed quite fatal.Tan Fengyue outside the screen thought this way.

It's just that he didn't mourn for too long in the picture, a white hand suddenly stretched out, clasped his wrist, and took him away from the crowd without any explanation—it said he was taken away from the crowd, but in fact it was The man was leading the way, his free hand was mercilessly pushing back the crowds on both sides.

As a result, those who yelled and cursed immediately turned into passers-by on both sides, "You don't have eyes?!"

"Push what to push!"

"What's going on!"

……

In the picture, he was being led by that person, and he kept apologizing to the passers-by who were pushed away, "Ah, I'm sorry", "I'm sorry!", "My friend is like this...", "Sorry, sorry!" , "I will compensate you for my friend"...

After a series of apologies, he in the picture took a breath, turned his head and complained to the person who was pulling him, "Little Ice Cube—I didn't say that, it's fine if you treat me like this usually, yes Outsiders can't be so inhumane!...If this goes on, sooner or later, they will be beaten to death before they are beaten to the ground by monsters!"

After that, he changed his expression as if he changed his face again, and said a little proudly: "Tsk tsk, as expected, I still have to be by my side-look, even if you push them like this, they don't even want to fight with you !"

... This chattering, if it were Tan Fengyue outside the screen, I am afraid that I would have left him long ago—or chopped him to death with a fan—so as to keep myself clean, but the one pulling him in the screen The man didn't make a sound, just dragged him along without a word and without looking back.

Being so taciturn, that person should be the young man in white clothes in the medicine hut, the master in white clothes who breaks the way, and Gong Buwang's junior brother?

... They are actually friends who have grown up together since childhood?

What kind of person is it that can endure such a noisy object beeping beside him all the time... No, now is not the time to condemn yourself.Tan Fengyue calmed down for a while, wanting to see what the person holding him in the picture looked like.

But until the spiritual energy healed the gap in the soul, until the voice in the ear gradually faded away, until the picture faded and dissipated——

The people in that picture never looked back.
