Chapter 9: Cause and Effect
"Please pay attention to the host! Please pay attention to the host! Due to the change of the plot of the host, the system now releases the cause and effect task: to break the cause and effect with the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu, and reward the host's survival points according to the actual completion of the host. ”
"Hmm, what do you mean, and there is such a thing as a situation?" Xie Yan wondered.
"That's right. It depends on what kind of method the host adopts to determine the cause and effect. The system replied.
"Isn't this to see yourself playing freely?!" Xie Yan complained. Then he asked, "System, what is the explanation of this cause and effect?"
"All the effects begin with the cause, and all the retribution begins with the karma... Before the system could finish speaking, Xie Yan hurriedly had a headache: "Stop!
The system paused subtly, and then continued: "Nature has a balance in nature, which cannot be broken by human beings. In the same way, there is a human equilibrium as a human being, which cannot be destroyed casually. There are only two situations that can be changed, one is that the host's own cultivation is strong enough to a certain extent, and it can change its life against the sky;
The second is to break the cause with fate, so as to obtain different results. But either way, the final result is borne by the host. ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, cultivation is a process against the sky, since you have embarked on the path of cultivation, you should be fearless, otherwise, you will still cultivate a fart Dao! As for breaking the cause with fate, this is a bit interesting, it is estimated that I destroyed the fate of Qiusheng and Dong Xiaoyu, thus destroying their fruit. After thinking about it carefully, Xie Yan roughly understood this theory of cause and effect.
But then, Xie Yan realized another problem, "If I stay in Yizhuang all the time, it is estimated that the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu will not dare to come." No, it looks like I'll have to make my own trip. Thinking of this, he didn't alarm Uncle Jiu, got up and quietly went out, and then walked to the woods in the movie.
When he came to the woods, Xie Yan looked at the emptiness around him, so he sat down against a tree at random.
Just when Xie Yan was about to fall asleep, a beautiful female voice suddenly came to his ears,
"Childe, Childe?"
Xie Yan woke up violently, looked up, and saw a beautiful woman bending down and looking down at him. However, she herself did not realize how strange it was for a single woman to suddenly appear in the woods in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Xie Yan, who had been prepared for a long time, was not frightened by the scene in front of him.
Instead, he looked at Dong Xiaoyu very carefully.
I saw her wearing a red cheongsam, just like a married bride, the breeze blowing, the corners of the skirt danced lightly, the whole person exuded a faint aura, her hair was pulled into a simple bun, an elegant and simple jade hairpin was strung on the bun, and she was holding a red handkerchief in her hand, giving people a sense of elegance and refinement.
Xie Yan looked at her in a daze, and Dong Xiaoyu also looked at him affectionately.
But it was only for a while, Xie Yan came back to his senses, and then he was full of cleverness, because he suddenly thought of Dong Xiaoyu's original appearance, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Of course, it's not easy to debunk it directly, just deal with it first: "I'm sorry, girl, you're so beautiful, so you forgot to speak for a while." Seeing Dong Xiaoyu's suddenly shy appearance, he hurriedly continued: "It's very dangerous for a girl to be outside in the middle of the night, what about your family?"
"This road is the only way for me to go home, I didn't expect to be busy until now, and my family has gone to the provincial capital. It will be back after a while. Dong Xiaoyu explained, and then asked Xie Yan: "I don't know if my son has time, it's so dark, I don't dare to go home alone, send the little girl home, and the little woman is grateful." ”
Xie Yan was shocked, my God, it's so direct! If I hadn't known that you wouldn't hurt anyone, I really wouldn't have dared to take your words. Thinking of this, he said to Dong Xiaoyu: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate,"
Hearing that Xie Yan promised to send him home, Dong Xiaoyu immediately became happy and hurriedly took Xie Yan home.
In a few moments, the two arrived. Also, Dong Xiaoyu is a ghost, and she is floating when she walks, the key is that she hasn't realized it yet; Xie Yan is a cultivator, and his physical fitness is also non-human, so the road that was supposed to take half an hour was forced to arrive in 5 minutes.
Xie Yan saw the Gaomen compound in front of him, and exclaimed: "This female ghost's 'ghost blinding' spell is really good, you must know that this land was originally a ruin, but now, the whole two-story small building." ”
Then Dong Xiaoyu led Xie Yan to his boudoir, poured him a cup, and then went to change his clothes.
Xie Yan didn't dare to drink this cup of tea, this cup of tea was a "lost mind tea", and he was delirious directly after drinking it, he didn't come to dedicate himself. (Believe it or not, I believe it anyway.) )
After a while, Dong Xiaoyu changed his clothes and came out, Xie Yan saw it, and immediately felt that he was going to have a nosebleed, and realized that if there was no showdown, he would really have to add a showdown. Hurriedly said: "Girl, please sit down first, I have something to say to you." When Dong Xiaoyu heard this, he sat down leaning on him, and then looked at Xie Yan suspiciously: "What does the son command?" ”
"Oh, you don't look like you're going to resist, no! The old man can't bear it! No, I'm a cultivator, and I can't even bear it. Xie Yan said speechlessly.
Then, under Dong Xiaoyu's affectionate gaze, he was ruthless and said, "Girl, I actually know your true identity. Dong Xiaoyu, who was originally looking at Xie Yan, changed his face suddenly, and then said: "I was born in an ordinary family, so how can I have any identity." ”
"Xiaoyu... Xie Yan suddenly called out Dong Xiaoyu's name, only to see Dong Xiaoyu immediately stand up and say sharply: "You know my name so well?"
I saw Xie Yan raise his head and look at her calmly and said, "Xiaoyu, I actually know that you are not a human, but a ghost!"
"Enough! Don't say it again!" Dong Xiaoyu screamed in horror when she heard this.
Xie Yan was worried that she would run away, after all, she would be invisible in the movie, so he quickly got up and held her hand, and then said softly: "You calm down! Don't you want to know why I know that you are a ghost and still want to go home with you?"
In an instant, Dong Xiaoyu, who was about to explode, immediately quieted down and said in a low voice: "I didn't want to hurt you, why do you want to do this to me?"
After Xie Yan saw her calm down, he pulled her to sit down first, and then said in a gentle tone: "When I gave you incense that day, I was already aware of your existence. I know you're not going to hurt anyone, so I'm actually waiting for you in the woods tonight. ”
Dong Xiaoyu didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, and Xie Yan continued: "Actually, I am a cultivator, that is, the Taoist priest you know, don't get excited!" Seeing Dong Xiaoyu struggling, Xie Yan hurriedly said: "I specially waited for you, just to tell you, I hope you can be reincarnated, after all, if I really meet someone who directly kills you regardless of right and wrong, I will also be sad." ”
Although Dong Xiaoyu is a ghost, the era in which she lives is relatively conservative about the relationship between men and women. Where have I ever heard such explicit words? So after hearing Xie Yan's words, he snuggled into Xie Yan's arms. Xie Yan was taken aback, "What's the situation, I'm still comforting you, did I say something that shouldn't be said!?" Of course, I thought so in my heart, but I still let her lie motionless in my arms.
"You should know that humans and ghosts can't be together, not to mention that I'm still a Taoist, if we are really together, it will only harm each other. If you're really good to me, there's only one thing you can do now!"
Hearing this, Dong Xiaoyu, who was originally full of despair, thought that things would take a turn for the better, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?!"
"It's reincarnation. Seeing that Dong Xiaoyu's eyes gradually dimmed, he continued: "If you and I are destined, we are destined to meet in the next life." Go ahead. ”
After listening to Xie Yan's words, Dong Xiaoyu looked at him. He didn't speak, just nodded slightly. However, a pair of eyes were blurred, and tears slipped down her face like pearls, and then she turned and flew away.
Xie Yan, who originally hugged to complete the task at the beginning, was a little lost and a little moved in his heart, after all, such pure feelings are rare in reality. "Is this the love of the three incense sticks, it can actually do this. Xie Yan sighed.
Immediately, a gust of wind blew into the house, and the whole room was immediately dusty, Xie Yanyan had to close his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that the original clean and tidy boudoir had now become an abandoned house covered with cobwebs. It turned out that after Xiaoyu left, the spell of the ghost covering his eyes was invalid. The voice of the system sounded at the right time: "The cause and effect task is completed!" Because the host does not take compulsory measures, an additional 200 survival points will be awarded, for a total of 500 survival points. ”
"Hmm, what does it mean to solve it by force? Does the system encourage and persuade people to do good?" Xie Yan asked suspiciously.
"Planting good causes and getting good results, good and evil have a huge impact on the improvement of the host's own realm and meritorious exercises, so when the host completes the causal task in a suitable way, there will be additional survival point rewards. ”
"I see. Xie Yan said that he understood, and then asked the system suspiciously: "Then what if you encounter those stubborn evil ghosts in the future?"
"Please rest assured that the system will determine the final completion of the task based on the actual situation. ”
"That's good!" Xie Yan said in his heart, fortunately, the system is relatively flexible, otherwise it would be worth the loss if this kind of task is triggered in the future.
Xie Yan walked outside, looked at the sky, estimated that it was almost four o'clock in the morning, and hurried to Yizhuang. If Uncle Nine sees it, it will inevitably have to be explained again.
After returning to Yizhuang, I deliberately went to the morgue to take a look, and found that as expected, the coffin lid containing the old lady Ren obviously had traces of being moved. This is because when the zombie pushes the coffin lid open with his hand, it is suppressed by the ink fountain line that pops on it.
found that it was better to follow the plot development in the movie, and Xie Yan was not worried about any changes due to changing the plot. Of course, he wouldn't remind Uncle Nine, although he respected Uncle Nine, he wouldn't rush to do anything that wasn't beneficial, so he went straight back to the room to rest.
