"I'm running out of paper and ink, so I'll go to the mall to buy some spare. ”

Lin Zhishui put on his shoes, opened the door, turned to the little snake and said, "You don't have to go to me to get it, when I come back in the evening, just bring the notebook to you." ”

"Okay......" She Xilu nodded obediently.

"That's right. Lin Zhishui suddenly remembered something and reminded: "When you are with Xiao Sui, you should also pay attention to one thing, the 'scholar' you said that day is more persistent towards Xiao Sui, you have to be careful." ”

"Reader?"

She Xilu was slightly stunned.

Isn't the original god of the scholar destroyed?

"However, he doesn't dare to come to me again, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Lin Zhishui smiled, and didn't say much, so he waved his hand at the little snake casually, "Bye-bye, see you in the evening." ”

"Oh......"

She Xilu stood at the door, waved at him, and after watching him leave, she asked in her heart, "Youchan, what do you mean by stopping the water?

"Stupid, he must be talking about the second elemental god. ”

Youchan said in her mind: "That scholar and fortune teller are together, even that fortune teller has learned the method of the second elemental god's doppelganger, and the scholar has not learned it? ”

"Oh......"

She Xilu went back to the bedroom and sat down, tilting her head, holding her cheek with one hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Why don't you cultivate?" asked Youchan.

She Xilu asked in her heart: 'Youchan, didn't you say that the content of my first book was written by me under the influence of the memories of my previous life?'

"What's wrong?" Youchan wondered.

"The ending of my first book is that the female protagonist was cut in half in order to save the male protagonist, and then went to reincarnate......

She Xilu muttered in her heart, and then said: "Is this also true? Is there really such a male protagonist? I always feel ...... The male protagonist in the book is very similar to Lin Zhishui's personality, he is very good to me and very careful......

Youchan was silent for a moment and said, "Didn't I tell you that in the past, we once agreed with a person that we would not kill cultivators at will?"

"Yes, could that person be the male protagonist in my book?" She Xilu wondered.

"In this world, there is no male or female protagonist ......"

Youchan said in a low voice, and then said: "In the past, we were snakes, so naturally we didn't have the same feelings as mortals, ...... It's kind of a friend of that person, but I haven't experienced the kind of sadomasochism you wrote about in your book, and in the end you didn't get split in half to save him, but he killed you. ”

'He killed me?' She Xilu was surprised.

"He once owed you a favor and promised to do one thing for you, anything, so, hundreds of years ago, you said that you didn't want to be an external demon anymore, and you felt that it was too lonely to guard the magic well, and you wanted real freedom. Youchan said: "He thought about it for a long time, so he sealed us, and after a while, he killed us and let us enter reincarnation." ”

'As long as we enter reincarnation, we can get out of the outer path, so why don't we die sooner?' She Xilu wondered.

"Of course, because you can't die, and you can't hurt yourself with your own strength. ”

Youchan said in a deep voice: "It's like the Outer Dao True Demon has a steady stream of power in the Pseudo-Demon Domain, for our level...... As long as 'it' will is, it is our Demon Domain, and its will is all over the Three Realms, and even the chaotic Hongmeng scattered around the Three Realms, our Demon Domain is naturally omnipresent, not only has endless power, but also immortal bodies, although those few can defeat us, but even if we don't resist, it is impossible to kill us. ”

"Those few people can't kill us, but that person can?" She Xilu said in surprise.

"It has nothing to do with strength, it's just that the Heavenly Dao is affected by 'it', which causes the Heavenly Dao Realm power to do limited damage to us. Youchan said: "And he is also an external demon, we gave up resisting, he seems to have refined some kind of weapon, only to cut us in half with a sharp edge, and the origin was destroyed." ”

She paused, and said with some confusion: "However, you and I are one and two souls, I remember that the edge obviously cut off the connection between you and my primordial spirit, but the connection between you and my primordial spirit has not been broken, I faintly feel that there seems to be something new, but until now, I haven't found anything." ”

"That person is also an external demon...... "She Xilu suddenly said.

Youchan sighed and said, "Although we have known that person for many years, I don't know much about his origin, it seems that he is the first external demon created by 'it', and it is also the most powerful external demon in heaven and earth, but it is just ...... He doesn't seem to want to listen to 'it', but he can't get rid of it. ”

She Xilu also probably understood.

In her previous life, the outer demon of this level was immortal and indestructible, and she could only be killed by a stronger external demon, but that person could not find a stronger external demon, so naturally she would not be able to die.

"However, hundreds of years ago, the destruction of the Taichu Heavenly Palace was a bit strange. ”

Youchan was puzzled: "If 'it' really awakens, it will not be difficult to destroy the entire Heavenly Realm Dao System, but only the Taichu Heavenly Palace will be destroyed, and the other five Dao Sects will be safe and sound...... I don't know if 'it' has awakened at all......"

'Maybe it's the internal strife in the Heavenly Realm?' She Xilu said, 'Otherwise, how could you suddenly not accept the reincarnation of the outer demon?'

"Hmm...... I also feel that there is something wrong within the Celestial Realm. ”

Youchan said: "After the Ancient Tribulation, the Qi Refiners in the mortal world were completely extinct, only a few forbidden places in the world such as Lingyan Pavilion still have the inheritance of Qi Refiners, but according to Xiao Sui, the second Yuan God is the secret of the heavenly realm, and it stands to reason that she is the only one in the whole world who understands, but the master of the black flame taught the fortune teller, where did the master of the black flame learn it......? It was handed down to her by someone in the heavenly realm. ”

She was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Outer demons, not all enemies, the Heavenly Realm Dao ...... and do not believe it all. ”

She Xilu hesitated for a moment, and said in her heart: "But, what do I think...... In addition to being inherently opposed to cultivators, outer demons are not harmful to mortals, right?'

"Not only is it harmless, but the rules set by 'it' are still protecting mortals. ”

Youchan said lightly: "In ancient times, the immortals could come and go to the two worlds of heaven and man at will, and once the power of the immortals fought in the world, the heavens and the earth would fall apart at every turn, and there would be demons and evil spirits raging in the world, until 'it' came, and the cultivators did not dare to appear in front of people, and there were so many years of peace in the world." ”

"Is that the outer demon good or bad?" She Xilu wondered.

"There is no good or bad. Youchan sighed: "Even the external demons that seem to cause a peaceful situation may endanger ordinary people, such as the guy in the Qingcheng Sealing Array, in order to get out, he also wants to slaughter mortals, let people know about their existence, so that they can return to the embrace of 'it', is it good or bad?"

She paused and said, "Therefore, whether it is a cultivator or an external demon, there are the most benevolent and holy ones, and there are also ruthless people who treat all beings like ants...... Outer demons and cultivators are only mortal enemies in terms of position. ”

'Then we, just to get rid of 'it', joined the camp of cultivators?' She Xilu asked.

"No way...... It is 'it' that has been persecuting us, and we can't resist it, and we can only get out of it. ”

Youchan sighed and said, "Freedom is the most important thing......"

……

……

Half an hour later.

After getting out of the subway station, Lin Zhishui went straight to the nearby Guanshi Square.

Today coincides with the weekend, and there is a lot of traffic in a large business district like Guanshi Square.

However, he is too lazy to go to other places, the shop that bought the four treasures of the study has been opened here in recent years, and he is more familiar with the boss, and the price will be more favorable, just to take care of the boss's business.

After a long walk along the pedestrian street, I came to the front of a relatively remote stationery store.

"Huh?"

Lin Zhishui suddenly found that there was a notice on the door that said 'transfer of the store, interested parties contact', and couldn't help but take a look at the inside of the stationery store in amazement, and walked in.

"Boss Joe?"

There was no one in the store, so he couldn't help but knock on the counter.

At this moment, the door of the storeroom of the stationery store opened, and a man in his thirties, who looked a little honest, walked out of the house yawning.

"It's Boss Lin. ”

The slightly honest man showed a simple and sincere smile and said, "I remember a lot of ink ingots and rice paper I bought last time, did you run out so quickly?"

Lin Zhishui nodded with a smile and said, "Recently, I have been practicing calligraphy and painting more frequently, of course I use it quickly. ”

"It seems that Boss Lin's level has not improved a lot. The slightly honest 'Boss Qiao' smiled.

Lin Zhishui coughed and said, "What's the matter, I have a good level, but I just recover my true level." ”

As he uses more and more of his beloved brush, his own level is also improving, and one day in the future, it is estimated that even if he does not use that brush, he will achieve the unity of human and pen, as he wishes, and become a real master of calligraphy, and he will not need that pen.

So, there's nothing wrong with saying it's recovery.

"By the way, Boss Qiao, are you going to transfer this store?" Lin Zhishui asked with concern.

"yes, it's not a good business. ”

Boss Qiao sighed and said: "Modern people use mobile phones and computers, and even learning is on the Internet, and the stationery store business is becoming more and more difficult to do, and I am ready to change to a new business." ”

Lin Zhishui was stunned.

How many years has the mobile phone computer network been popular, and this Boss Qiao looks like he is in his thirties, why does he still have a bit of an antique taste?

"What business did Boss Qiao do before?" Lin Zhishui asked curiously.

"A lot, selling fish, selling meat...... I've done all kinds of business, I'm stupid, and I can only do some small business. Boss Qiao smiled a little innocently and said with a smile: "As long as I can make some money, after all, I'm just a businessman." ”

Lin Zhishui sighed and said, "Okay, it seems that I will buy something from you for the last time." ”

"I've been a bit busy lately. Boss Qiao shook his head and smiled, and said, "I remember that the stock of rice paper and ink ingots is not much, I'll look for it, and sell it all to you cheaply." ”

"Then thank you Boss Joe. ”

Lin Zhishui was a little sentimental, and suddenly said: "Why don't I write a piece for you?" Don't dislike it, my current handwriting is also quite valuable." ”

Boss Qiao was slightly stunned, then showed a simple smile, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll get you the four treasures of the study." ”

"Just ink, paper, inkstone, I'll bring my own pen. Lin Zhishui said.

After all, Boss Qiao can be regarded as an old friend who has known each other for two years, and it is nothing to play the 'real' level and write a good word.

Boss Qiao turned around and went to the shelf to take the rice paper, ink ingots, inkstones, etc., put them on the counter, and said with a smile: "You can take whatever you want, you write, I'll go to the warehouse to find rice paper and ink ingots for you." ”

"By the way, what is your name, Old Joe?"

Lin Zhishui explained: "When I pay later, I can inscribe your name and give it to you." ”

"No need. Boss Qiao smiled honestly and said: "Just inscribe your own name, in the future, when you become a famous calligrapher, maybe someone will come to me to buy your calligraphy, you wrote it and gave it to me, then I can't sell it?"

Lin Zhishui smiled and said, "Okay." ”

This Boss Qiao is honest and sincere, and in the past few years, he will give him a cheap price every time, even if the price has risen, he has not raised the price for him, and he is a sincere person.

Boss Qiao rummaged in the warehouse, Lin Zhishui took out his beloved brush from his bag, spread out rice paper on the counter, cut paper, grinded ink, soaked the pen, and groaned a little, then put down the pen.

Life is not seen, and it is like a participant.

This is a farewell poem by Du Fu, which means that between people, just like the stars and merchants in the sky, once separated, it is difficult to meet.

After all, the relationship between him and Boss Qiao is not very deep, just the relationship between the customer and the boss.

After separation, there may not be a day of goodbye in this life.

This poem can be regarded as a fitting topic.

Then, Lin Zhishui inscribed the inscription in the lower left corner of the notebook, but this time it was a single paragraph, only his own name.

The ink dries.

And the Tao rhyme, which is imperceptible to mortals, also converges into the formless, and only its owner can see the subtlety in it.

"Not bad. ”

Lin Zhishui looked at his notebook with satisfaction, and found that Boss Qiao was still rummaging inside, so he washed the brush in the sink in the store and put it away.

After a while, Boss Qiao walked out with a bag and said, "Boss Lin, there are still two knives in the stock of rice paper, I will pack them for you, add some ink ingots, and you can give one thousand and a half." ”

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you on WeChat. ”

Lin Zhishui nodded, took out his mobile phone and scanned it on the QR code on the counter.

Boss Qiao has always sold his rice paper as genuine high-quality rice paper, never fake, and this price is already very cheap.

"Life is not seen, but it is like participating in business ......"

Boss Qiao looked at Lin Zhishui's calligraphy next to the counter, smiled a little innocently, and exclaimed: "Boss Lin's calligraphy level is really high, I already knew that I would give you a free order." ”

"How can that be done?" Lin Zhishui smiled and said: "Although there may not be a chance to meet in the future, I live in the 'He Mingxuan' calligraphy and painting shop at No. 71 Shelter Lane, Liangliang Street, Old Town, if you need my help, you can go there to find me." ”

"I see. ”

Boss Qiao nodded and smiled sincerely: "Boss Lin, you will definitely make a fortune in the future." ”

Lin Zhishui was stunned, and then smiled: "Then I will accept your auspicious words." ”

Boss Joe held out his hand to him.

Lin Zhishui smiled and reached out to shake Boss Qiao.

"The ink on the notebook hasn't dried yet, so let's put it away later." ”

Lin Zhishui lifted the big bag and put on his own bag, then turned around and walked to the outside of the stationery store and said, "See you soon." ”

After Lin Zhishui left, Boss Qiao looked at his palm and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that Boss Lin doesn't have the luck of a prosperous business...... The luck I gave him didn't even improve his business luck......"

At this time—

"Meow~" A thin cat meow suddenly sounded.

Boss Qiao's face changed slightly.

I saw a black cat walk in from the door of the stationery store with graceful steps, looking up at him, and the surrounding space seemed to be cut off, and slowly dimmed.

"Cat breeder?" said Boss Qiao in a deep voice.

A very human smile appeared on the black cat's face, and he said, "Aren't you a 'businessman'? ”

"He gave me a notepad, and I gave him a shipment, which is also business. Boss Qiao said lightly: "Besides...... What I do has nothing to do with you, what are you here for?"

The black cat lay lazily on the ground and said, "I have come by order of the upper realm to summon you and others. ”

Boss Qiao frowned slightly and said, "The order of the upper realm?"

"The Upper Realm, my Outer Dao side and the Heavenly Realm are about to start a new big war again, and they urgently need combat power, such as ...... Those ancient beings who were sealed away in the world in ancient times. ”

The black cat said lazily, "The lord in charge of contacting us and the other true demons in the world recently received a secret piece of information...... I found a way to release the demon dragon, so let me unify the external demons in the entire human world, whether it is a foreign beast or a true demon, it must not be absent, otherwise, it will ...... It is regarded as a betrayal of the foreign way. ”

"Unleash the dragon, didn't you try it hundreds of years ago?"

Boss Qiao said coldly: "Don't you give up yet?" The seal of the Ten Thousand Generations Fulong Great Array can't be broken at all, and you can only tear open a little crack if you try your best, and it almost causes a catastrophe in the world, but it will only anger her, you were almost killed by her back then, could it be ...... Do you want to try the taste of Black Flame Soul Refining this time?"

The black cat's face was a little ugly, and he snorted coldly: "Of course this time is different, this time the method provided by the Lord in the upper realm can completely break the formation, and it will not affect mortals...... In this way, she doesn't have a second word, does she?"

"Completely break the formation?" she agreed?" asked Boss Qiao with a frown.

"The lord from the upper realm has also contacted her personally, and of course she agreed. ”

The black cat licked its fur, then looked up and showed a very evil and eerie smile, and said, "Moreover, she is already here." ”
