Chapter 42: Affection

After being stuffed into the bathroom by Xuan Ye to wash and change into furry pajamas, classmate Qin Xiaoxi, who basically doesn't need sleep now, grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands, and winked at Xuan Ye to be cute.

Xuan Ye stood by the bed and stared at him for a while, then laughed: "Don't want to sleep?"

"I don't want to." Qin Xi rolled over and sat cross-legged, facing Xuan Ye face to face: "Is Gu Yuan's sister also a Celestial Master?"

"She..." Xuan Ye sighed, pulled Qin Xi against the head of the bed and said slowly, "It was a long time ago, but it doesn't count anymore."

"Well, her breath and face are a bit strange."

"You have learned a lot from Gu Yuan, and you still know how to look at faces." Xuan Ye laughed: "Then what did you see?"

Qin Xi thought for a while and answered honestly: "I didn't see anything. But she has merit, even Gu Yuan can't compare."

Gu Yuanshi, as a Celestial Master, saved countless lives by catching ghosts and removing demons. His merits were rare and profound in the world, and it stands to reason that Gu Jia couldn't compare to him no matter what. However, Gu Jia has far more merits than Gu Yuan, and he is simply a golden body of merit. What made Qin Xi even more puzzled was that he couldn't see Gu Jia's fate at all.

Qin Xi's numerology aspect is only half-hearted. He doesn't understand it, but he can see some things. For Shang Gu Jia, what he saw was a dense fog, as if he was blocked by something.

Xuan Ye smiled and said, "You should know that Gu Yuan has memories of many lifetimes, and it was the back door that the Lord of the Underworld personally opened, right?"

"I know." Qin Xi looked at him with bright eyes, feeling that he was about to hear a long story.

"Actually, the relationship between Gu Yuan and the underworld is not simply because of his ability. To be precise, he retains his memory but relies on the Three Realms Affairs Office to serve the underworld every life, which is a quid pro quo between him and the master of the underworld." Xuan Ye put his arms around Qin Xi, slowly tell a story from a long time ago...

At the end of the Jing Dynasty, not long after the end of the Dharma era, the gods and immortals fell to the ground. The ordinary demons and ghosts had not yet noticed the suppression of the heavens. They thought they belonged to their era. So much so that the royal family, the powerful, and the common people believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and they carefully serve many liars and gods as masters. Even the imperial court set up the post of national teacher, and hired a person who seemed to be very capable. The emperor was stupid, and he was obedient to his trust. His power and prestige were even greater than that of the emperor himself, and he was even more like a god in front of the common people. only existence.

At that time, the Three Realms Alliance had not yet been established, the demons and ghosts who were honest and dutiful, and the capable people who entered the way of cultivation were panicked by the sudden predicament of the end of the law, and they had not yet paid attention to the hidden root cause. It is not difficult to imagine that if this has always been the case, the government will be chaotic, the imperial power will be empty, and the country will be turbulent sooner or later. The foreigners at the border, the elites in Beijing, and countless conspirators with ulterior motives are secretly watching, waiting for the opportunity.

It's just that before the instigators take their place, the turbulent dynasties of the mountains and rivers are replaced.

At that time, the national teacher of Jing Chao was indeed a very capable person, and he did indeed enter the way of cultivation. It's a pity that the era of the end of the law has come, and countless people who are capable and cultivators have not been able to become immortals. With a lifespan of hundreds of years, they can be regarded as immortals. The monks of the right way are still unable to resist the law of the touch of heaven, prolong life at the most, assist the emperor to rule the world with their own strength, punish the traitors and eliminate evil and accumulate merit, in exchange for a chance for good fortune after reincarnation. What's more, the national teacher himself is the evil way to go.

Cultivating evil methods to deceive people, encourage emperors, dignitaries, and even the common people to use him as his honor, and after enjoying all the glory, wealth, power, and power, he is not reconciled that he cannot become an immortal. Join forces with evil spirits and evil spirits to cause evil in the world. There are mountains of corpses and seas of blood and countless grievances. Not only is the yang world chaotic and turbulent, but even the reincarnation of the underworld is out of order.

Underworld Lord took over the underworld for less than a thousand years, and his power is not as powerful as his prestige. Xuanwu's ghostly vitality has not recovered yet. The adult in the abyss has been asleep again and has never woken up. The order of the yin and yang worlds collapsed, almost overturned and destroyed. The people who finally woke up from the delusions of ghosts, gods, and spirits realized that it was too late and could only pray day and night, hoping for redemption.

After being comfortable for too long, the cultivators also tried their best to save the crisis, and at the same time searched for traces of the disciples of the Buddha Sect.

According to rumors, the whereabouts of the descendants of the Buddha Gate are mysterious, but whenever there is turmoil, they will appear. As small as the emperor's stupidity/prostitution/tyranny/politics, and as big as the overturning of the world and the reversal of yin and yang, it seems that there is always a way to save the crisis. When they are on the verge of despair, they are already at the end of the road, and they can only deceive themselves and hope that the Buddha Gate will give them a chance. However, the Buddha Gate seems to exist only in legends and has never appeared, and there is no trace of any news.

Jing Chaoguo, a teacher and student, was a human being, but he went against the sky to anger the heavens, and finally used the forbidden technique to greatly damage his vitality. The divine beast, Rui Beast, headed by Xuan Ye, joined forces with the mystic arts and practitioners of various factions to take the opportunity to kill him. Later, he led a group of demons and ghosts to form the Three Realms Alliance to cooperate with human beings and aliens to maintain order in the world. Stop the crisis. It's just that the turmoil in reincarnation cannot be stabilized, and the underworld Lord guarding with his true body still cannot be completely contained. In addition to the turmoil in the underworld, the underworld master also takes care of the operation of the underworld, and it is impossible to completely use his power to suppress the reincarnation.

When the situation was critical, one person stood up and used his own blood as a sacrifice to help the Lord of the Underworld to suppress the turmoil of reincarnation.

And this person is Gu Jia, the twin sister of Gu Yuan in that lifetime.

The last years of the Jing Dynasty were the starting point for Guyuan to retain his memory. In that life, he and Gu Jia were blood brothers and sisters, but Gu Jia's talent far surpassed Gu Yuan's. He entered the path of cultivation together with mystic arts earlier than him, and even had some say in the underworld. Before the turmoil, Gu Jia also accidentally obtained an inheritance from the adult sleeping in the abyss, and replaced the bloodline to become an existence comparable to the descendants of the ancient gods. The power of this bloodline is closely related to the underworld, so Gu Jia can help the lord of the underworld to suppress the turmoil of reincarnation at the expense of the sacrifice of human bloodline and the tearing of the soul.

The order of reincarnation was restored, and the turmoil disappeared. The newly established Three Realms Alliance, Mysterious Art Lineage, and Cultivation Lineage were all severely damaged. And because of this tragic lesson, the common people completely abandoned the reliance on the saying that everything depends on the gods, and began to rely on themselves down-to-earth. He hated the swindlers of the Jing Dynasty, and the royal clansmen, dignitaries, and nobles who led them to believe in them, and he was reluctant to mention them.

Over time, Jing Dynasty disappeared into history, and even the era when demons, ghosts, ghosts and talents appeared frequently was completely covered up. Up to now, ordinary people don't know that there was an era called Jing Dynasty, and they don't know that because of one person's selfish desires and the ignorance of many people, the world almost collapsed.

What's more, no one knows that there is a person who has saved countless living beings and undead at the price that he will cease to exist.

After this incident, Gu Yuan reached an agreement with the Underworld Lord, on the condition of helping the underworld to maintain the balance of yin and yang for life, retain the memory of reincarnation, search for Gu Jia's torn soul fragments, and protect her peace and joy in every life.

In fact, this agreement is not of great benefit to the underworld. Perhaps it was because of Gu Jia's kindness that the underworld master agreed to Gu Yuan's request, and even helped Gu Yuan a lot in the process of finding Gu Jia's soul fragments.

"However, in that turmoil, the Underworld Lord once guarded the Netherworld with his real body to ease the devastation. Moreover, the memory is retained in each life, and the accumulation will always become stronger and stronger, Gu Yuan also has a high position in the underworld, and it is with his assistance that the underworld master has not been taken away because his power has not been restored." Xuan Ye said.

"Gu Jia... Broken soul?" Qin Xi was a little surprised, recalled Gu Jia's appearance carefully, and shook his head: "There seems to be nothing wrong."

Xuan Ye smiled and sighed: "Guyuan has gone through the thirteenth reincarnation for thousands of years. Except for the time when he entered the underworld, no one in the thirteenth life has lived past the age of forty. Do you know why?"

Qin Xi was stunned for a while, then said in shock, "He used his lifespan as a guide to fuse Gu Jia's soul fragments?"

"Yes. First use half of the merits of one's own body as a bargaining chip to exchange the kinship of blood in the life, and then use half of the lifespan of each reincarnation as a guide, so that the soul fragments can be merged. After thirteen lives, it is finally in this life. Although she is strict, she has always favored human beings, not to mention that Gu Jia has the power to save the world, so you can't see through her. As for Gu Yuan..." Xuan Ye shook his head, "The merit you see in him is It has been halved and a lot of the rest have been consumed. The merits of the thirteenth reincarnation, even if Gu Jia consumes half of it, is not only now. However, it is because he still insists on retaining the relationship with Gu Jia and he does not hesitate to continue to pay. Just keep Gu Jia alive and happy."

Qin Xi rubbed down, and after being silent for a long time in the quilt, he whispered, "They have such a good relationship..."

Xuan Ye sighed with emotion: "I watched Gu Jia dedicate himself to the common people and Gu Yuan's perseverance. Since then, I have felt that human feelings are really complicated. Just talking about Gu Yuan, he is very cold to everything, even if it is a Most of the colleagues in the office who have been with each other for thousands of years are no different from the strangers he meets on the street. But for Gu Jia, he does everything he can to pay and protect. This relationship is only blood kinship, I'm afraid it's not enough to tell."

"Maybe... it's because of obsession." Qin Xi thought for a while and said, "In those days, Gu Jia died for the world, but he couldn't do anything when he saw his blood relatives die. So when he found a way to save it, he did everything to accomplish it. It has become an obsession and a habit after persevering through life. Now that Gu Jia is well, he can't let go of his obsession and is willing to continue to protect it, instead of taking it as a completed responsibility and letting it go easily. Well... Or should I say, He sees Gu Jia as his responsibility, not a burden, so he likes it."

Xuan Ye stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed: "I think now that you are really a human being. Only the same human beings can understand their tangled and chaotic feelings."

Qin Xi: "...so I'm not human, what do you think I am?"

Xuan Ye's desire to survive instantly exploded: "Well... I just think... You may be a little fairy. Mmm!"

The author has something to say:

Xuan Ye: I think you are a... um fairy!

Qin Xi: [puts down the 40-meter long knife in his hand]

Listening to the 12th anniversary tea party of Mo Village, I read the manuscript, and it took more than an hour to read it, but there is still a high probability of typos. After all, I have been distracted. Remember to catch bugs when you find the little cutie, I will come back and change it.
