i have three shadows

Jian Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, leaned on him, put her elbows on the side of the sofa, and asked, "Do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"

Xu Xingxing said calmly: "Say it all."

Jian Qingzhu nodded: "The truth is that I am not from either side, and the same is true of lies, I am not from either side."

After staring at each other in silence for a while, Jian Qingzhu leaned over and kissed him. Different from the usual enthusiasm, this kiss seemed extremely gentle and affectionate.

When parting his lips, he said: "The only truth in me that will not change is that I love you."

Xu Xingxing smiled: "It's the first time I've heard you say this word."

Jian Qingzhu also smiled: "I've read it countless times in my heart, and I dare not say it out. I'm afraid that you are too young and you don't think it has enough weight. I'm afraid that you won't believe it. I'm also afraid of ruining your mind."

Xu Xingxing said "hmm", hooked his neck back, took a hard bite at the end of his collarbone, then leaned his chin on his shoulder, and said something silently.

After dinner in the afternoon, Jian Qingzhu took out Xu Xingxing's report card, and his ranking rose to fifteenth in the class.Xu Xingxing took a closer look. Although his English was still bad, he passed it anyway.

This report card brought Xu Xingxing back to the human world. Since he entered the test room for the celestial master certificate, this was the first time he felt real.

I still want to live a normal life, he thought.

"Old Yan said let me make up English for you during the holidays." Jian Qingzhu smiled.

"Then it's hard work for you, Wang Wang." Xu Xingxing folded the report card and stuffed it under a pile of books, "I want to go to Grandpa Qian's house to have a look."

Xu Xingxing sent a message to Xu Chichi, telling her to eat well, then went out with Jian Qingzhu and walked towards the street.

There was Qian Xiazi's stall, and there was a person sitting next to him. Xu Xingxing recognized it from a long distance, and it was Chen Shuang.

Before he had time to go over to say hello, Ah Da bumped into him head-on and grabbed Xu Xingxing's shoulder: "Yi Xing, have you met Ah Xiao yet?!"

Xu Xingxing pretended not to know, and looked at him suspiciously: "What?"

"Ah Xiao is gone." Ah Da murmured, let him go in frustration after getting the answer, and walked down the street again without a pause, not knowing where he was going.

Xu Xingxing turned around and looked at his back, thinking about the sight he saw just now, a tall man with red eyes, which makes people feel nervous.

Jian Qingzhu patted his head: "Let's go."

The two of them strolled up, Chen Shuang looked up and saw the two of them, and nodded as a greeting.

Xu Xingxing stuffed his hands into his jacket pocket, squatted down beside Qian Xiazi, and called out, "Old man."

Everyone was silent, Ah Zhong came out after a while, looked at Xu Xingxing and asked, "Brother Xing, did Ah Xiao look for you?"

"Huh?" Xu Xingxing asked, "No, what's going on?"

Ah Zhong looked down the street and said, "She left a letter, saying that she was tired of staying here and wanted to leave, and told everyone not to look for her. Ah Da has been going crazy these days."

Xu Xingxing looked at Jian Qingzhu in silence.

Ah Zhong sat down and went back to the house. Blind Qian suddenly said, "I told him earlier that everyone has his own life, and he can't force it."

"Old man, are you sad?" Xu Xingxing asked.

Facing the street in front of him, Qian Xiazi paused for a while before saying, "I'm a fortune teller, so I'm not sad."

It was getting late, Ah Zhong went out to look for Ah Da, Chen Shuang sat for a while, and then went back.Xu Xingxing squatted beside him and did not leave, while Jian Qingzhu waited beside him, standing very tall.

There has been no business today. When the street lights came on, Blind Qian got up and was about to close the stall, but when he raised his leg, he bumped against the door.

Xu Xingxing was startled and grabbed his arm: "Slow down, old man."

"Slow down." Qian Xiazi said, but did not move after speaking.

There happened to be a car passing by. The low beams of that car were not switched on, and the headlights were aimed straight at Blind Qian Qian.

Xu Xingxing was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What's wrong with your eyes? You can't see?"

"It's a strange question for you to ask." Blind Qian laughed, pointing to his sunglasses, "I'm a blind man, how can a blind man see?"

Jian Qingzhu's face was hidden under the street light, and she couldn't see the sorrow and joy clearly.

Xu Xingxing's voice was a little unsteady: "Old man, what did you see?"

Qian Xiazi was silent for a while, and replied: "The blind man is not talented. I accidentally saw some secrets. This is what I deserve. In fact, it is not necessarily true. People always think that they can see something clearly, but people can't see anything at all." Clear."

As he spoke, he turned his head slightly, as if looking at Jian Qingzhu, and smiled: "Whether human beings, gods or ghosts, can't break the way of heaven, without exception. The destiny cannot be violated, but it can be broken, and only when it is broken can it be established. It is the only struggle that man can make against the sky.”

Xu Xingxing was startled, Mr. Qi had said this before he died.

In such a blink of an eye, Blind Qian had already entered the room, as if he could still see as smoothly as his feet were numb just now.

His thick and vicissitudes of life sounded: "Help me carry the board in."

The two packed up the things from the stall and brought them into the house. Blind Qian waved his hand: "Go back."

On the way back, Xu Xingxing said: "Jian Qingzhu, I think..."

Jian Qingzhu took the words: "Go to Huai Town?"

"Yeah." Xu Xingxing nodded, "I don't think I'm at ease if I don't figure it out."

Jian Qingzhu touched his ear: "Okay, let's set off tomorrow."

Xu Xingxing took a breath, and Jian Qingzhu asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

"No." Xu Xingxing replied, "I'm afraid you'll eat me."

Jian Qingzhu smiled: "Then let me hug you for a while?"

Xu Xingxing laughed, Jian Qingzhu pulled him back quickly, walked and ran, opened and closed the door when he got home, turned around and embraced him.

Jian Qingzhu took a deep breath, buried her head on Xu Xingxing's shoulder, and tightened her hands more and more, as if she wanted to press the person into her body.

Xu Xingxing grabbed his neck tightly.

The two hugged each other silently in the dark, Xu Xingxing closed his eyes, and finally asked: "How long is it?"

"How long is there?" Jian Qingzhu asked.

Xu Xingxing said softly: "How long will you leave me?"

Jian Qingzhu froze, and Xu Xingxing felt his movements, and then said: "You already knew that there was an formation under Huai Town, right? You also knew that a sacrificial vessel was missing after Teacher Gao died, and you knew that it was Why didn't we see it? When we were dealing with Teacher Gao, we only asked Ah Xiao and the others for help. It was planned to open the magic weapon and go to the mass grave in Huai Town, right? Someone made a big plan, and everyone in the big plan There are little plans, but whether it's the whole bureau or everyone, it's all in your hands."

Jian Qingzhu didn't say a word, but her breathing became heavier. Xu Xingxing asked, "Did I guess right?"

Without waiting for Jian Qingzhu to speak, he smiled: "The above plot is purely imaginary. If there is any similarity, it is my bad luck. Using me to bring those people into the battle, disrupting Zheng Yi's investigation and causing the family of heavenly masters to be re-examined, at the same time The weakness of Lingguan was exposed, and now that you have successfully obtained what Xia Gang and Ah Xiao are holding, shouldn't you just leave?"

"All right..." Jian Qingzhu slowly let go of her hand and spoke with difficulty.

Xu Xingxing smiled, took a step back, and left his embrace before he let go completely.

He put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall, and stared at Jian Qingzhu's eyes in the dark: "I know you have a purpose from the beginning, and I don't mind, but now I don't mind, because I like it so much You are already inseparable. So Jian Qingzhu..."

He shrugged his shoulders, and his tone was very easy: "Let's forget it, let's make a farce on the spot. Anyway, we are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and people are growing up."

Jian Qingzhu took a deep breath and tried to restrain her emotions. Only the slight tremor in her voice revealed a trace of panic: "I don't accept other reasons for separation except that I don't like it."

Xu Xingxing smiled mockingly: "Isn't it easy to ask for a reason? Do you have to hear this sentence? Does it make sense? I've been cheated by you enough and I'm bored. I don't like you anymore, that's all."

He turned to open the door to leave, but Jian Qingzhu grabbed his wrist.

Xu Xingxing turned his head and said softly, "Let go."

His tone was calm, Jian Qingzhu was stunned, and his hands loosened involuntarily.

Xu Xingxing pushed the door open, covered it politely with his hands back, and then strode towards the opposite side when he heard a soft click.

The door slammed shut, Xu Xingxing hurriedly leaned behind the door, after a while, his body trembled involuntarily, and he stretched out his hand from his pocket.

I don't know what kind of premonition it was, but before he went out, he packed a knife in his bag, and the palm of his hand was already sticky and salty.

Trembling, he threw away the knife, gasped for breath a few times, and gradually regained his composure under the gazes of countless portraits around him.

For a moment just now, he almost bit Jian Qingzhu's neck.

He had no doubt that he would kill him.

The killing intent in his heart was almost uncontrollable, he didn't know what went wrong, it was as if the words he heard in the cave that day were all seeds, buried quietly, and now suddenly jointed wildly.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that all that came out of the ground was hatred.

He was afraid that he would kill Jian Qingzhu.

A novel once said that Jian Qingzhu was going to be killed.

This may be some kind of instinct that has never been discovered by him. Like an animal hunting, he knows clearly that he can only survive by killing the other party.

Because it is instinct, there is no way to resist it.

He raised the corners of his mouth in self-deprecating manner, remained silent for a long time in the darkness, and finally stretched out his hand to his mouth, the smell of blood rushed straight to his forehead.

Tears were hot on his hands, and a horrible gasp was suppressed in his throat, and he said: "Monster."

After watching Xu Xingxing leave, Jian Qingzhu stood in the dark for a long time, and finally he dragged himself up to the second floor, waved his hand in front of the coffee table, and a bowl and an awl appeared in front of him.

At the beginning, he really moved to Tanghua Street with a purpose, as Xu Xingxing said, and he did so, but after getting these things, he just wanted to live with Xu Xingxing.

Two people share one life, a fate that is cruel and romantic to the extreme.

He thought about being selfish, taking the things to go on business, and waiting to find the artifact of the Fengdu Mountain God, and then cut off the connection between the two of them.

Then he didn't tell Xu Xingxing about this matter, whether he lived for 18 years or 20 years longer, the two of them will die together in the end.

It's like growing old in a moment.

In the next life, Xu Xingxing lived his own life, and after he was reincarnated, he would take revenge, kill him once, and get rid of the curse on his body.

Anyway, when Po Meng drank the soup, no one knew anyone.

I can't fall in love with him in the next life.

That was cruel.

But contrary to expectations, Xu Xingxing had to be killed if he wanted to open the artifact.

He was indifferently grateful, thankful for the choice A Xiao made, otherwise he would be the one who stopped him, and everything he did before would be equivalent to zero.

As long as you are alive, everything is possible.

But Xu Xingxing said forget it.

He unconsciously covered his heart, the bone-biting pain gradually numb, thinking that it would be better to kill himself to fulfill him, but he was afraid that his fate would continue, and he would have to repeat the same mistakes in the next life.

In the silence, Jian Qingzhu suddenly remembered Qian Xiazi's words, he suddenly raised his head, stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the bowl in front of him.

Xu Chichi didn't come home until late at night. There was an insulated box on the table, and when he opened it, it was a bowl of porridge.

She smiled, and quietly entered Xu Xingxing's room after drinking.

Xu Xingxing was already asleep, lying on his side, with the quilt almost covering his head.

Xu Chichi walked over and sat beside his bed, and pulled down the quilt for him.

After sitting for a while, she rubbed her hands, touched his forehead, and said softly, "As long as you can live well, sister can do whatever she wants."

Then he sighed lightly.

The door was gently closed by the handle. Xu Xingxing opened his eyes and was stunned for a while. Finally, he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes against the pillow.

The next morning, before dawn, Xu Xingxing carried a bag and went downstairs. As soon as he came out, he saw Jian Qingzhu. The two of them looked at each other, then walked silently, and left Tanghua Street one after the other.

There was no communication along the way, and Jian Qingzhu followed Xu Xingxing, riding or walking, not far or near.

After noon, I arrived at Huai Town. This time I entered the town along the main road, and after a short walk, I saw the iconic goddess statue.

Xu Xingxing looked up and stopped suddenly.

After two more glances, he suddenly shuddered.
