"I think so too." Zhu Xuan nodded, agreeing with my statement, "None of us know why the anger beast is sealed well, why it suddenly came out to harm the world. So it is very likely that the behind-the-scenes The Taoist priests of the black hand have been manipulating all this."
"You mean... the actions of the few of us have been watched by that bastard all the time?" Shi Yitong said in surprise.
"I don't know. But it's not impossible." Zhu Xuan frowned, "It's just... I'm very surprised. Why would he do this? What's the point of doing this?"
"Yeah." Su Xiaoyun also murmured, wondering if she remembered the curse on her body, "It doesn't make any sense at all, why would he do this? Is it just for fun?"
"I don't think you can figure it out even if you stand here and think about it for a day." Shi Yitong waved his hands as if giving up and said, "He has been hiding behind the scenes for so long, how could he be caught by us this time? How about keeping the handle?"
"Me." I said suddenly, looking at the other three, "it's not us. He's coming after me."
I don't know why I suddenly said this sentence with such firmness, but for a moment I was extremely sure of my answer.
But soon, other people cast puzzled looks at me, and then I fell into an embarrassing situation that I couldn't explain clearly.
"Uh...haha, I just said that casually." I changed the subject in embarrassment, "By the way, let's not just stand here. Since we are here for fun, let's take a stroll, like you said, say Might be able to buy something interesting.”
I laughed to myself, and walked forward first, "Let's go, let's go shopping."
Fortunately, everyone didn't make things difficult for me. Vendors at the temple fair sold some souvenirs and snacks. We walked from the entrance to the temple, but no one seemed interested in buying anything.
"We're almost at the end of our shopping." Su Xiaoyun asked, "Do you want to go back later?"
"Wait, I still have a place I want to go." Zhu Xuan said in a low voice.
Zhuxuan bypassed the busiest part of the temple fair, instead copied the path and took us all the way to the depths of the temple. In the quiet moonlight, we saw a big linden tree in the center of the courtyard. The tree was covered with red cloth strips that people used to pray. The number was so large that we could see it clearly even at night.
"What's wrong?" I noticed something wrong with Zhu Xuan's eyes and asked.
"I want to make a wish for Ye once." Zhu Xuan murmured, "Humans say that if you make a wish at the annual temple fair, your wish will definitely come true. I don't know if it's true, but I want to try it once." .”
"Try it, maybe it's true." Su Xiaoyun suggested, "But it's so late, and there are no monks around... Where can we find the red cloth?"
"Hey, let's use this." Shi Yitong had an idea, rolled up his sleeves, and untied the red string tied around his wrist, and the beautiful piece of jade lay in his palm.
"But it's not your grandfather's relic..." I hesitated.
"My grandfather's relics are not limited to this one. He has collected a lot of strange things in his life." Shi Yitong said carelessly, "Since Zhuxuan said that this bracelet belongs to him, how can I be ashamed?" Do you still have it in your hands?"
With that said, Shi Yitong stretched out his hand and handed the rope to Zhuxuan.
But Zhu Xuan didn't take it over, but stared blankly at the jade on the bracelet, raising his eyebrows suspiciously.
"This piece of jade... it's glowing." Zhu Xuan murmured.
"Yeah, because it's night." Shi Yitong said disapprovingly, "It will glow at night, and it's not like that cheap luminous spray paint. It's very beautiful, so my grandma wears it as a talisman for me. Yes. But I guess her old man has never known the origin of this thing... "
Zhuxuan interrupted Shi Yitong when he was still rambling, took the bracelet in his hand and muttered, "But it never shined before. It's just... a very ordinary jade, I never See it glow in the night."
"What?" Shi Yitong was dumbfounded, and said hesitantly, "But, but, since I saw it, it has been shining."
"No, it won't shine." Zhuxuan said firmly, and took another look at the jade in his hand, "I'm sure. It's just an ordinary piece of jade, but when Ye's grandfather was very young, he used Bought for him at the market so cheaply, there's no way it's going to glow in the night. Unless..."
When Zhu Xuan said this, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and was stunned in place, speechless.
"What's wrong?" I pressed, "Unless what?"
"My God, how could I not have thought of this possibility!" Zhu Xuan suddenly shouted excitedly, "Of course, that's it!"
"What? What's wrong?" Shi Yitong and Su Xiaoyun were both at a loss, not knowing what happened.
"Unless what? You just said unless what?" I also asked anxiously.
"Unless, the stone glows not because of anything else, but because Ye's soul lives in it!" Zhu Xuan shouted excitedly.
"What?" Shi Yitong stammered, "But, but, how is it possible?"
"It's possible!" Zhu Xuan said excitedly, "Thirty years ago, before I passed out, I used my power to give Ye's soul the last vitality. If this soul finds a host body, he can Survive, do you remember?"
A few of us suddenly realized.
"And what was the container closest to him at that time? It was this piece of jade!" Zhu Xuan shook the bracelet in his hand and was overjoyed, "Jade itself is psychic, and Ye's soul has been sleeping here for thirty years. The rest of the year."
Zhu Xuan turned to look at Shi Yitong, "I know why I recognized you as Ye at first, it was because of it, Ye's soul was sleeping in the jade, so I felt his breath from you."
Shi Yitong stared at Zhu Xuan dumbfounded, and stammered, "Then, what are you going to do? Find another person and put his soul in it?"
"No, it's too immoral to do that, and I will never do that kind of thing." Zhu Xuan thought, "But as long as you give me time, I will definitely come up with a suitable method."
Saying that, Zhu Xuan clenched the jade in his hand, turned around and was about to walk into the darkness.
A bad premonition welled up in my heart, and I stopped him.
"Zhuxuan, where are you going?"
Zhuxuan turned around and smiled at us, "Go to where I came from, where I went, and where we all will return."
"You're leaving, aren't you?" Su Xiaoyun sharply pointed out.
"But don't worry about the anger beast, this time I will bring it with me, and I will definitely take care of it." Zhu Xuan said with a smile, "I don't want to have such a life-and-death struggle again."
"But, but..." Shi Yitong seemed to have not reacted, "You are leaving like this? Then what shall we do?"
Zhu Xuan looked at him amusedly, "You? You all have your own lives, this time we only got together because of the same 'fate'. When the fate is over, it is naturally time for us to part .”
"Why do you even like to say some weird things?" Shi Yitong muttered, "This is exactly the same as that guy surnamed Wen."
When Shi Yitong mentioned Wen Jiubai, my heart tightened, and I suddenly thought of something.
"Wait, Zhuxuan, before you leave, can you tell me one thing?"
"What?" Zhu Xuan looked at me with a smile.
"Wen Jiubai, you said you guessed his identity." I asked, "Is it true?"
"Why should I lie to you?" Zhu Xuan laughed.
"Then can you tell me, even if it's just a guess." I said sincerely, "I've really been troubled by his identity for a long time."
Zhu Xuan seemed to look at me helplessly, was silent for a long time, and sighed, "No, I can't."
"Why?" Not only me, but also Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong asked.
"In this world, there are many things you have to discover by yourself." Zhu Xuan said seriously, "everything, every person and every kind of monster has its own fate. If the fate is detailed If the thread is not untied by yourself, then you may never discover the true meaning of it."
Zhu Xuan's words made me confused, but I also knew that he didn't intend to tell me. I lowered my head in disappointment.
"But if you really want to know, I can give you some hints." Zhu Xuan changed the subject.
"What hint?" I perked up and pricked up my ears.
Zhuxuan glanced at me indifferently, and then said slowly, "Suisui white fox, with nine tails and pang pang. It was born in the family, and I am prosperous."
"What did you say?" Shi Yitong looked at Zhuxuan blankly, then turned to look at Su Xiaoyun, "Did you hear clearly?"
Su Xiaoyun also showed a confused look. Since Zhuxuan spoke ancient Chinese, he basically didn't understand anything after listening to it once.
But Zhuxuan didn't give us a chance to ask questions. When we were at a loss, he turned around and walked into the night without looking back.
"Hey—" Shi Yitong raised his hand and wanted to stop him, but I grabbed his wrist and pressed it down.
"Stop shouting," I said softly, "let him go."
"But who Wen Jiubai is, he still hasn't made it clear." Shi Yitong said unwillingly.
"He must have his own reasons for doing this." I shook my head, "Leave him alone."
Just like that, we watched Zhu Xuan walk out of our field of vision, as if he had never appeared before, and disappeared into the night.
