After listening to his question, Long Ya didn't answer immediately. Instead, he raised his hand to extinguish the two candles, and took Qi Chen directly to the roof of the ancient building, standing on the sloping eaves.
Although Qushan is not a majestic and famous mountain, it is also the highest point in Xicheng. Standing on the roof of the ancient building overlooking, it is a hundred miles in the suburbs of Xicheng, a dark area, only occasionally decorated with some scattered people and lights, sparse, It seemed very quiet.
Without the lights of the city all night, the stars in the sky like broken gold became particularly obvious.
Qi Chen had never stood in such a place before, looking at the night sky from such an angle, he was so shocked that he almost forgot the question he just asked.
Long Ya hugged his arms, turned his head and glanced at him, then cast his eyes back into the distant night, and said, "Looking silly? You still have to ask for it when you come up. A handful of lazy bones, I like to nest in the dilapidated pavilion on the second floor. What does it mean to stand on the railing and look at the lamp to invite the stars... Fart! I'm too lazy to climb the roof, I can sit and never stand ."
Qi Chen looked at the night sky and listened to Long Ya's ranting complaints, and couldn't help but bring a smile to the corner of his mouth - he always felt that his previous life was too far away and could not be traced, even if he heard it, it was like listening to a stranger He was more curious than emotional. Only after hearing these few complaints did he feel for the first time that his previous life was not so distant and unfamiliar, at least his temper was still there, and it was a virtue to be lazy.
There are some broken stars in the distance that are bright and dark, always flickering suddenly, Long Ya pointed his chin at that piece, and said to Qi Chen: "You told me before, although you don't know if you are a real malevolent star. The lower realm, but one thing is the same as the malefic star, that is, there are times when it is bright, and there are times when it is dark, if it appears, it will naturally hide, and one day it will fall.
Qi Chen turned his head to look at him, but Long Ya was still looking at the distant place without moving his eyes, he narrowed his eyes and continued, "I didn't ask where did you know these bullshit, but if you don't ask, there are almost a lot of them. … We—let’s call it ghosts and ghosts for the time being, get along with each other very lightly. In fact, you should be able to see it during your time in Guanghe. Even after thousands of years, we don’t have much contact with each other. For example, we The bald donkey and Huijia, as well as the ox-nosed Taoist priests on Yundu Mountain, even the most wide-ranging feature, they walk around very little on weekdays. To be precise, this virtue is common in the three worlds of heaven, earth and human. Because each has its own They have different rules, ways of doing things, and different jurisdictions. Since ancient times, they have been accustomed to clearly distinguishing themselves from each other. To put it more vaguely, each has its own destiny and tasks, and your thoughts are probably also From here on out…”
Qi Chen really felt what he said, as if he felt that Long Ya, Shan Xiao, and Abbot Huijia should have a good relationship, but except when they had official business to do, they would ask the master for help, and they were rarely seen at other times. Wanling Temple.
Sometimes it seems that the friendship between the ghosts and spirits like them is even weaker than water.
"Unfortunately, you have been carrying the name of the evil star and evil spirit, and you have surrounded yourself on the top of the mountain like an exile. If you don't go down the mountain, you will have fewer contacts with others. Later, you saved more souls. , his reputation has gradually improved, and he went down the mountain a little more frequently, and some daring ones even went up the mountain to invite you to go for a trip when they had nothing to do. When you come out, although you can't cover the 'bad star', you can drive together anyway. But even if you go down the mountain, you always put on a detached air, talk to anyone coldly, polite but not familiar, it's just bad I don't have the words "Don't approach strangers" written on my face. After saving people, turn around and leave. I'm faster than anyone else when I'm shattering. It's as if those people are not chasing after your ass to be thankful but trying to bombard you. Yes! At that time, you Qushan, and I would come up from time to time to see if you were lazy in the building."
"Don't you think I'm cold?" Qi Chen asked curiously.
"Dogs dislike it." Long Ya glanced at him and sneered: "Not only is it cold, but also boring, you don't know what you're thinking if you don't say a word all day. When I first met you, I thought you were acting like an expert. , I can't let go of my body, I like to pretend to be pushy by nature, but after I've known each other for a long time, I can understand that you are lazy! When you have nothing to do, you are too lazy to move. After you say what you want to say in your mind, you will probably find it enjoyable, and there is no need to do it again. With a lot of effort, he opened his mouth and said, it looks like a gentleman, but in fact he is lazy to the bottom of his body, you are a fart!"
"Then how did you endure it?"
Long Ya snorted from his nose, and said lazily, "I'm grateful. And I don't like to hang out with people who are babbling, and it hurts my brain to listen to them chatting a bunch of nonsense, you It's clean here. And—"
He paused and said, "You were born here to reassure your soul, and I am a demon saber, a weapon... You know, murderous aura is heavy, and we follow the path of killing to stop killing. It's time to kill a lot, and some can't control themselves, and staying here for a few days can slow down."
Qi Chen listened to him and remembered that when he was in the workroom fighting the bones, Long Ya was leaning against the wall, checking things with his mobile phone, and he never complained about being bored all day long.
Probably... just got used to it.
"But later, I found out that you are lazy for a reason." Long Ya added: "Every time you come back down the mountain, you will become more lazy. You can always sleep for a long time when you fall asleep. You can't sleep properly but you can't wake up. That's your fault, and later you learned that it's not that simple. Before a hundred years of peace in the world, the sky began to turn upside down again, wars and chaos broke out, and disasters continued. In the past, people who saved a small soul and a small soul couldn't see the change, but when the catastrophe came , your change is particularly obvious. At that time, you didn't go down the mountain for a day or two, but it took several months to go down the mountain. When you came back to the mountain again, the whole person lost a lot of weight, and was particularly afraid of the cold. Before the end of autumn, I can't wait to wrap myself in three layers and three layers outside, and then I can sleep for half a month in a daze. How can that huddle look like a malevolent star! I think back on it. Drag you down the mountain with your bed and parade through the streets to show the public, and see if those demons, gods and ghosts will walk around you when they see your cowardice!"
Qi Chen: "..."
"At that time, I understood a little bit of what you said 'there is always a time to fall', because after every major disaster, your loss is very large, and it takes a long time to recover—" Longya said and stopped for a while , and then continued: "But because I can always recover, I thought it was still far from the time when I fell. Maybe one day my dragon tooth knife will be broken again, you are still living well, and you can still nest. Listening to the rain and drinking tea on the top of the mountain, and relying on it for thousands of years. But the result... I haven't found the missing part of the blade, and you have reached the limit. "
When he said this, his eyes fell on a certain point in the vast night sky, squinting slightly, as if looking at hundreds of years ago through the gold-like galaxy: "At that time, the world coincided with the change of dynasties. At that time, natural disasters and man-made disasters have never stopped. At that time, there was a problem with the land boundary, and the turbulence was so severe that it almost turned the sky, so that the reincarnation was unstable, and even the other two worlds were not peaceful. Not to mention meddling in other people's affairs. I was also recalled at that time, and I had to go back and forth in my blood for a whole day, and of course I couldn't go to Qushan. I only heard that because of reincarnation, the karma accumulated in the world, and the misery The resentment and anger were not resolved in time, so that the world turned upside down, and the good people became murderous, manic, gloomy, and happened to encounter war again, adding chaos to chaos. It is your burden, and you will inevitably have to go down the mountain. The turmoil lasted for ten years, and when I finally got out of my body and went up to Qushan, the human world just returned to normal. I remember it was late spring and early summer, you But you wrapped the fox fur, which startled me. It was also that time when I accidentally discovered that there were four blood spots on your heart. "
Qi Chen imagined the scene while listening to the description, couldn't help frowning, but felt a little panicky.
Long Ya glanced at him and said, "It sounds scary? It doesn't look any better... I asked you what happened to the blood spot, and you said that it had already been there. There will be one more blood spot in the heart, and four blood spots will grow together. When the blood in the heart is connected into one piece, it is the time when your life is exhausted..."
"Four o'clock?" Qi Chen was stunned and said, "So at that time—"
Long Ya gave a "hmm" and said, "Tell me, it's four o'clock, you should enter the reincarnation, and when you are reborn as a human being, you probably won't recognize me anymore."
After he finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then said: "You also said that if there is nothing to do after reincarnation, don't bother to look for you, you are lazy, you want to take a good rest, and when you have enough rest, you will naturally come to us. ."
Qi Chen: "..." Why does it sound like this—
"Do you listen to what you're talking about?! Huh?" Long Ya snorted coldly, "If you don't say that, can I stop you from resting? Besides, I'm looking for you so that you can come back and grind dry. Are you alive?! When did I not let you stay on the mountain honestly, but you had to rush down to be a coolie for others?! You couldn’t stop it, why didn’t I see you being lazy at that time? After listening to your bullshit, I probably rolled my eyes and turned my head away, because I don't believe that you would really be happy to rest, maybe you will go to save the soul again after you reincarnate, who knows you really will. There is no news at all... I took the time of your reincarnation to look for you, as for the result - you also heard that bastard say in the illusion, your lifespan is too short, often just after I found you, you will come back again Entering reincarnation! Coincidentally, I almost thought you did it on purpose!"
Qi Chen: "..."
He imagined those scenarios in combination with Longya's temper, and felt that, given the uncle's character of blowing up at a single point, he had been looking for so many times for nothing, and it was so coincidental every time... If he got angry, he just took out a knife and chopped him up. Okay.
Sure enough, as soon as this thought flashed through Qi Chen's mind, he heard Long Ya sneer, turned his head gloomily, and said, "After so many times, you will avoid me like a snake and scorpion after reincarnation, Lao Tzu. Why do you want to chop your dog's leg like that?"
"..." Qi Chen twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Then when I was recruited into Guanghe by Director Dong, why did you all look like you didn't recognize me?"
Long Ya glanced at him, hugged his arms and looked at the broken stars in the sky as if he didn't hear him. After a while, he finally said: "I found you very early in this life, and you didn't rush to reincarnate. I think you had a good time in those days, so that's it. I didn't plan to really pull you back and put the burden on you again. How can you be so immoral... But it's also unfortunate, I just found the main body dragon tooth The handguard of the knife plate, which no one else can repair, Director Dong had to let the personnel watch you and bring you in. Although Guanghe has many members, from any dynasty, the only ones who really know you and have seen you are me. In addition, there are only Director Dong, Hong Ming, and Shan Xiao in total, and no one else knows about it. We originally planned to use your hands to repair my body, and then put you back in the world of ordinary people. You can rest for a few more lives, but who knows that things will come to you one by one. At first, I thought I was dragging you in by mistake, but then the more I think about it, the more wrong it is, and then I will let you go and let go. It doesn't make any difference if you go to death, so I can only follow you to see what role you stupid hater got into. Your suspicions are getting heavier and heavier. Originally, I planned to let Shan Xiao bring you down for you to clear up. , Now that it has reached this point, there is no need for that, in your words, it is probably fate, and it is time for you to escape in this life."
Qi Chen's calf was cold, and he always felt that if he ran to Longya again, he might actually be able to chop his dog's leg with a knife.
"However—" Long Ya said again: "After listening to the sloppy remarks in the illusion, I now think about the original situation carefully, and I really feel that there is a problem, especially the words you said to me at the end, With those four blood spots in your heart..."
