A baker's dozen

"I despise the world with contempt, the breeze and the two sleeves of the rivers and lakes, a sword in the sky shocks the world, and the blood is the god and ghost costume (the legend of the other world)!"

More than 2,000 years ago, the young Li Qingmad also came here, singing this song, rocking the boat, and coming to this sleeping island with the pride of saving the undead. The first person he wants to see is www.biquge.info the ancestor who has been dead for a hundred years - Li Xianshan (Houtu), in fact, Li Qingyan knows very well, they all came to this island and waited for death endlessly.

They have immortal bodies, but they cannot keep their youth forever, and no one can save them, not even death. However, the young Li vowed to change this fact, for the sake of his loved ones and for his future self.

It was a white-haired back, with his back to Li and slowly sweeping the fallen leaves all over the ground, he was very old, very old, and the thin broom could no longer support his rickety body, it should be said that he was not actually sweeping the floor, but holding the broom with both hands, like holding a life-saving crutch, staggering and moving (Legend of the World).

I still remember this back, whether it was in the past or now, everything is so familiar, this is the ancestor who watched him grow up - Li Xianshan, but this person has disappeared into the Houtu family, and he has already died in name. Li Qingyan remembered that he remembered things from that time, he sat on Li Xianshan's coffin and cried non-stop, not letting Li Xianshan leave, he was only five years old at that time, this was his closest person, why did he have to die so ruthlessly.

"Grandpa Gaozu, don't die, don't die, take me away."

Now, when the 2,600-year-old Li Qingmad remembers his childhood crying, it is like a curse left in his life, where did the little self at that time think that there will be such a day that he will repeat the mistakes of all his ancestors.

"He could hear it, he knew everything."

The old Li Qingmad also remembered himself lying in the coffin and pretending to be dead, and he was clearly still alive with the same heart, at this moment he could understand the pain of Li Xianshan back then, this cursed undead clan, it was simply the biggest joke left by God to the Houtu family.

"Grandpa Gao, you—" Li Qing shouted frantically and emotionally.

The old man turned slowly, his loose eyelids almost covering his blurred eyes, and in the dim light, the countless age spots on his face were clearly visible against the pale skin.

Li Qingfang was confused, is this Li Xianshan, the ancestor who used to watch over him in the past? He used to be as great as a god, but now he is an old man, with a pale beard and an old face, and in the never-ending years, he almost seems to have spent life after life.

Li Qing pounced wildly, knelt at Li Xianshan's feet and cried, almost dragging the aged Li Xianshan to the ground.

"Huh? Who are you and what do you say? Li Xianshan muttered, "I don't know what's going on lately, everyone speaks quietly, people...... How can I see and hear when I stand far away? The originally sad scene seemed so ridiculous in the old man's confused words.

Li Qingfang couldn't help but hold back his tears, he couldn't bear to tell Li Xianshan that in fact, his eyes were already flowered, and his ears were almost deaf.

"I haven't gotten out of bed these days...... People, you can't be lazy...... In this way, it is easy to get old...... You see, I can't walk now, in a few years...... Maybe, I won't be able to get up......" Li Xianshan said with emotion.

"My conscienceless children...... I haven't cried at all since I left, including the ...... I rescued back then. Crazy boy......" Li Xianshan babbled about the past, in Li Qingshan's opinion, he was really too lonely.

"Hey, don't keep saying bad things about me, okay, didn't I come to see you?" When Li Qingfang heard the end, he couldn't help but stand up and shouted.

"Ah, you're ...... Say it again?! Li Xianshan could hardly believe his eyes.

"Dead old man, I'll be Li Qingmad......" Li Qingmad faced Li Xianshan and said loudly.

"Oh, time flies so fast, more than 2,000 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and even you have come to this island......" Li Xianshan said with emotion.

"Hey, don't curse me, I'm still young!" Li scolded wildly.

"And what are you doing here?" Li Xianshan said strangely.

"I'm going to save you, I'm going to save the undead, you pedantic people, draw a frame around yourself, even if you're old? Can you eat people? It's going to hurt people, it's much better than that crazy man out there, he doesn't know how many people he killed, do you? They are afraid to face this, I am not afraid! I am from the Li family, and I have the obligation to change this damn curse, and I am here today to save you. Li said arrogantly. Li Qingfang thought that this impassioned statement would move Li Xianshan very much.

However, this Li Xianshan is indifferent, these similar words, it seems that he also said it when he was young, but so what, Li Xianshan has not still come here, and after fighting for so many years, he still can't escape the footsteps of infinite aging.

However, Li Xianshan didn't want to sweep away Li Qing's crazy interest this time, maybe he was too interested, and he would leave here, forget about his bad old man, and think that his grandfather had died a long time ago.

"Grandpa Gao, don't disbelieve me, I have discovered the ghost path, I believe that your fate must be linked to the ghost domain, maybe I haven't studied anything yet, but one day I will solve all this! Believe me. Li said lightly.

"Alas...... Forget it, I'll toss with you, I don't want to see you come here then. Li Xianshan sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Then you come out of the island with me, and I'll take you to the most powerful doctor and let them see your weird body. Then solve it with the ghost way! Li said happily.

"Huh? Dejima ......" Li Xianshan sounded like a dream.

"Who said you can't get out of the island!" Li said arrogantly, "Besides, you can't die, so let me toss." ”

Li Xianshan shook his head helplessly.

"Dead God, take a good look at your blind dog eyes, how did I, Li Qingma, change my fortune, how to fight you, hahahaha......" Li Qingmad looked up to the sky and laughed.

However, how many years later, Li Qingyan's former oath has come to naught, and in the end, the undead still brought Li Xianshan back to Bumengzhou, and Li Qingyan, who was wandering on the ghost road, found the answer, but he couldn't change anything at all, and finally one day, he also came here gloomily.

14. Return

"I despise the world with contempt and recklessness, the breeze and my sleeves break into the rivers and lakes, and I shake the world with a sword in the sky, and I am allowed to serve the gods and ghosts of the heavens!"

The song got closer and closer with the sound of drums on the other side, and Li Qi finally saw the next old man of the undead clan - Li Qingfang.

"Li is frivolous! How could it be you, an old man over 3000 years old, who was brought here, you are only 2600 years old, why?! Why?! Before the boat docked, Li Qi rushed to the front of Li Qingmad, grabbed the white-haired Li Qingmad with both hands and shook it vigorously, she wanted to shake this unknown Li Qingmad, in her heart, Li Qingmad will always be the cynical young man, play with her, fight together, she never thought that Li Qingmad was so old, gray hair, wrinkled face, even staggered walking, Li Qi suddenly had an urge to cry, which reminded her of the vastness again, thinking of the young Li Qingmad, The heart was like a knife, and the pain was so painful that people could barely breathe.

Li Qing looked at Li Qi who didn't know how to be on this island in surprise, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Who told me to learn what ghost paths?" The ghost road made me lose 400 years of life, and I lost 150 years just to save you, do you calculate that I should come in early to meet my predecessors? ”

"But you didn't save your own great-granddaughter at all, but ......" Li Qi looked at Li Qingfang and said unbearably, tears couldn't stop flowing, she was not the Li Qi that Li Qingmad wanted to save at all, Li Qingmad is not worth 150 years to exchange for himself, a person who no one cares about at all, he died during the day, and killed himself at night, so why do you still want to borrow the corpse to revive your soul, why do you still miss the world, forget it when you die, why are you alive, stay here with Li Qingma, or be eaten by those old men, Thinking of this, Li Qi cried loudly, the words of birth, old age, sickness and death now seem so overwhelming.

"Don't cry, don't cry, tell me where you've disappeared for the past 20 years? Can Shura look for you everywhere? Li looked at the crying Li Qi frantically, he knew that this girl must have had a hard time all these years.

In the past 20 years, how can it be explained in a few words? Li Qi glanced at Li Qingfang, and actually sighed in the vastness of the appearance, and slowly told the story of 20 years.

……

Li Qingmad looked at Li Qi in surprise again, as if there was some power in her body, perhaps, she had recruited the wrong soul, but maybe this also happened to deal with the prophecy that once came: The girl of the Li family is the one who saved the Houtu!

In the distance, the wind was stronger, blowing the boat and hitting the shore constantly, as if reminding something, Li Qingyan suddenly remembered something, thought of the ship that would not return, and thought of the still very young child beside him, so he quickly stood up and pulled Li Qi, who had not yet returned to his senses, onto the boat, "Li Qi, leave quickly, leave the Li family." Li said lightly as he pushed the boat away from the ferry with the current.

Li Qi, who was immersed in 20 years of memories, did not come back to her senses until she got on the boat, she ran to the stern of the boat, looked at the white-haired Li Qingfang, couldn't bear it in her heart, and cried: "Li Qingyan, you ......", and wanted to jump off the boat after speaking.

"Don't come down!" Li scolded lightly, "I'm still here waiting for you to change the fate of the Li family!" I believe you must have come to save the Li family! ”

"This ......" Li Qi stopped and said hesitantly, even the Lord of the Ghost Dao, Li Qingyan, can't save the undead, can he do it himself?

"The prophecy will not be wrong, it will not be wrong! That's you! It took me 150 years to get you back, don't let me down! Li lightly shook his heart and threatened.

"150 years, yes, I am also a member of the Li family, and it was Li Qingfang who exchanged his life for it, no matter whether I really saved the Li family as prophesied, I have to try my best!" Thinking of this, Li Qi nodded and shouted, "Okay, you wait for me, I will definitely come to save you!" ”

Li chuckled maniacally, he had said this kind of thing many times, but to his relief, Li Qi had finally left.

"Perhaps, I will never see her again in this life...... Just let me die. Li thought to himself, he stood at the ferry for a long time, watched Li Qi disappear into the night, looked at the other side with nostalgia and had nothing to do with him, and did not turn his head and leave until late at night, singing his songs heroically, and resolutely walked into the reeds and into the dreamless continent.

"I despise the world with contempt and recklessness, the breeze and my sleeves break into the rivers and lakes, and I shake the world with a sword in the sky, and I am allowed to serve the gods and ghosts of the heavens!"

This song is accompanied by the rippling waves of the lake, accompanied by the mournful cry of the old man on the island, and the sound of the clanging ritual on the other side of the lake, floating in the night sky for a long time.
