Qi Jufei never imagined that he would receive such a ridiculous commission in this life, and would come to such a place to talk about such a ridiculous cooperation. But how do you tell him to refuse this kind of thing?

It's ridiculous to accept. The refusal also seems ridiculous. For the first time, he felt that life was full of absurdity, and he stood in front of Zhao Xiyang, speechless.

And Zhao Xiyang's eyes are full of eager anticipation at this moment, and you can even feel the fire burning in his heart, as if he is about to die generously at this moment, and entrust his beloved to his brother.

"Does Harutsuki know about this?" Qi Hufei asked knowingly.

"I don't know." Zhao Xiyang said, "If she knew, she would definitely not agree to me coming to you." ”

"Why would you do it when you know she won't agree?" Qi Hufei asked with a slight hint of anger, "Don't you think it's disrespectful to her?" ”

Zhao Xiyang was suddenly stunned, as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, instantly extinguishing the heat in his heart.

"I just wanted to help her ......," he said.

"You're not helping her." Qi Hufei said angrily, "Who is she you?" You will save her from her misery one moment, and then you will entrust me to take care of her as if she were your pet. But is she your pet? Or do you just treat it as a commodity that you can let it go by? ”

Zhao Xiyang hurriedly defended: "No, no, no! Of course not! I love her! I love her! How could I possibly keep her as a pet? And how could you possibly treat her as a commodity? I just wish she had a better life. I don't want to see her unhappy, I don't want to watch her be depressed alone before late at night, I don't want to watch her do things she doesn't like every day, I don't want to watch her act every day...... I want her to be a real spring moon and a happy woman. In the eyes of many people, she is just a courtesan. But in my eyes she's not! I know that her heart is white and unblemished, and her soul is pure and unblemished. She is the most beautiful woman in the world in my heart. ”

"How is it better than the Guanghan Fairy?" Qi Hufei asked as if revealing a scar, staring at Zhao Xiyang tightly.

Zhao Xiyang was slightly stunned, gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a dream." One is a fantasy of nothingness, and the other is real in front of my eyes every day, and I will not fail to see the reality in front of me for a dream of nothingness. ”

Qi Hufei said: "Since this is the case, you shouldn't have come out to me without telling Chunyue and saying such things to me." If you really love her, want her to get out of the sea of suffering, and want to fly with her, then you should cheer up again, say what you just said in front of Chunyue, tell her how much you love her, and tell her what you plan to do, instead of sneaking out behind her back and entrusting her to another man in a begging tone! ”

Zhao Xiyang looked at Qi Feifei in a daze, like a statue, emitting a grotesque light under the light of the dark room in the small basement.

Qi Feifei didn't intend to give him time to think. Because he knows that this kind of person is often a giant in thought and a dwarf in action. Once he is asked to think about it, the more he thinks about things, the more complicated he becomes, the weaker and weaker his ability to act, and finally he does nothing. So he decided to continue to stimulate him until it stabbed him, ignited all the gunpowder buried in his bones, and burned his soul. Only that kind of severe pain can make him give up thinking and put it into action.

"You're a coward!" Qi Feifei pointed at the nose of the statue-like Zhao Xiyang and scolded, "Do you think you are noble? Do you think you're thinking about her? No! You're just a coward! You don't dare to face it, you don't dare to take responsibility. Your shoulders are fluttering, there is nothing, not even a feather can fall. You will only hide in a dark corner and secretly wipe your tears with the woman with her back to you. Even if you know that she is making love with other men, you don't dare to stand up and say a word! also kept saying that for her sake, I wanted to help her get out of the sea of suffering! Entrust her to me...... What irresponsible words these are!

If your great-grandfather is still alive and knows that you have such a grandson, you must even regret it! His death is really not worth it! He wanted to use his death to bring peace to your children and grandchildren, and at the same time to have the courage to fight against life. You are not as good as your grandfather, and although your grandfather is an alcoholic, he is at least sober-minded. Although your father is eager for quick success and madness, he has at least worked hard for the family. But look at you again! What did you do? You'll just run away! You're a coward! You don't deserve to like Spring Moon! You don't deserve the surname Zhao! ”

Zhao Xiyang couldn't control himself anymore, and tears flowed down his cheeks. He slowly squatted down, buried his head in the crook of his arm, and wept bitterly, like a ball of torn cotton stuffed in his throat.

Qi Hu flew through the addiction of a master teaching an apprentice and a father teaching his son, and suddenly felt comfortable, and when he looked at Zhao Xiyang who was squatting on the ground, he felt a little more pity and sympathy.

Since coming to this world, almost all of what Qi Hufei has seen and come into contact with are extraordinary people, and if you look at it from the perspective of your ordinary self in another world, the people in this world are tantamount to supermen.

Not to mention his unfathomable cheap master, from the director of the city god division to the ordinary porter, which one is not a master? Which one will not calculate? Which one is not powerful behind and has someone on the head?

Don't talk about the City God's Division, let's just say that in this Nalan City, from Hulu Street to Dingding Gate, from Jinsheng Palace to Si'anli, which place is not a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger?

A chicken or a dog in this world cannot be underestimated, and even a mosquito may be a different species.

Only this Zhao Xiyang, although he is also a cultivator, although he also has a strange treasure, Qi Hufei saw the shadow of ordinary people from him, as if he saw those ordinary people in the ordinary world in his previous life, including himself.

There is love in my heart, but I dare not say it. Righteous hearts, but often led astray. The heart is arrogant, but it is often crushed by inferiority. Thoughtful, but always do things on the spur of the moment. I can't find anyone to tell me about the depression in my heart, so I often feel lonely and lonely. I often feel that life is boring, but I am always hung by a little hope, numb in the dark, and occasionally look up at the starry sky......

Thus he lived humbly, unto death.

In fact, ordinary people are not annoying, nor are they hated. Qi Hufei thought about it for a while, the pity in his heart for Zhao Xiyang was real, but this trace of pity came inexplicably, as if he was high.

He immediately realized that this was a red flag. He wasn't supposed to feel that way in his heart.

Everyone is equal. There is a right and wrong thing, and no one is noble or cheap. Now that a real Zhao Xiyang is in front of him, what qualifications does he have to pity the other party and pity a real and ordinary human nature?

However, this kind of real ordinariness or ordinary truth could not increase his confidence in Zhao Xiyang in the slightest. As long as this guy is still squatting on the ground, then no matter what, he is not trustworthy. Since it is not trustworthy, then this deal will naturally not be done today. In this way, it made Qi Feifei a little difficult.

He really wanted to help Zhao Xiyang. But he knew very well that no one else could help him. The only one who can help him is himself.

Zhao Xiyang squatted on the ground and cried like a child, crying until there were no tears in his eyes and no sound in his mouth. Even if it's a child, it's a long enough cry.

The rumbling vibration of trucks rolling over the ground on the road in the distance made the dark and cramped basement even quieter. The two men in the basement, one standing and the other crouching, resemble two unseen bronze sculptures placed here by some boring artist.

Finally, as a heavy truck walked away with a heavy voice, Zhao Xiyang stood up, his eyes washed by tears radiated a determined light, and two muddy but very powerful words came out of his hoarse throat, as if the snakehead lying in the silt at the bottom of the river spit out two bubbles, and rushed up the river with mud and sand, making this pool of stagnant water rejuvenated:

"Thank you!"

I don't know why, Qi Jufei was suddenly a little moved, just like a teacher who hates iron and steel, and suddenly receives a card with an oath written on it from the worst student in his class on Teacher's Day.

Before he could say anything, Zhao Xiyang had already turned around and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Qi Jufei asked.

"Go find Harutsuki." Zhao Xiyang said without looking back, "You're right, I should say these words in front of her." ”

Qi Hufei said: "You can figure it out, I should congratulate you." But let's talk about cooperation first......

However, Zhao Xiyang did not stop his steps.

When Qi Hufei chased out, he had already gone very far.

Looking at the back of Zhao Xiyang's stride forward in the dark night, Qi Hufei did not continue to chase, shook his head, half relieved, half regretful sigh, and then turned around to help him pull the roller shutter of the store.

……

Duanmuwei was upset by a phone call from Qi Hufei.

Originally, she was just sad because Dongyue was gone, but Qi Hufei's attitude and the note left by Dongyue made her a little jealous.

However, she was not the very jealous kind of person, and after thinking about it, she felt that it was a bit ridiculous to be jealous of a deceased person.

took a hot bath, barely calmed down this complicated mood, and wanted to sleep well, but Qi Feifei's phone call made her sleepy.

She realized the seriousness of the situation and felt the need to discuss it with her family. Although Qi Hufei has explained that it is best not to mention this matter to her family, especially when Duanmu Bowen is not there. But from Duanmuwei's point of view, it is impossible for her to hide it from her father, especially since this matter is likely to involve their entire family.

After calling Duanmu Bowen and not getting through, Duanmu Wei decided to go to Duanmu Cheng. Before leaving, she planned to explain to Xiaoxue a few words, so that she could live here with peace of mind and never go out at will. But Xiaoxue had already slept, so Duanmuwei didn't bother anymore, only left a note at the head of the bed, and hurried out.

"It's for Qi Hufei's kid again, right?" Duanmu Cheng saw his daughter coming over late at night, desperately pulled himself out of the bed, and scolded with a smile, "Stinky girl, I have never seen you so active in the affairs of your own family!" ”

"Has Grandpa come back?" Duanmuwei ignored the banter in her father's tone.

"Ouyang Tianjun is in Nalan City, we have provided him with another courtyard, no matter if he can't live or not, he can't go wrong. Your grandfather is watching it himself. Duanmu Cheng saw Duanmu Wei's hurried appearance, and his face was a little anxious and uneasy, so he took it seriously, "What's wrong?" ”

Duanmu Wei briefly talked about Dongyue, skipped some of the details, and only talked about the main points.

Duanmucheng was inexplicable at first, but the more he heard it, the more serious the expression on his face became.

"Are you sure you're hearing the key to the Sacred Palace and the Niangniang's relics?" Duanmucheng asked.

"Sure." Duanmuwei said with great certainty, "Xiaoxue said very clearly, although the note that Dongyue left for Qi Hufei did not mention the key to the Holy Palace, it also mentioned the relics of Niangniang. ”

"Big shot...... Big man ......" Duanmucheng said to himself twice, and then stood up openly, "You wait here, I'll go find your grandfather." ”

Duanmucheng left, leaving Duanmuwei with an anxious face. About half an hour later, Duanmu Cheng and Duanmu Bowen came back together.

As soon as he entered the door, Duanmu Bowen asked Duanmu Wei to tell all the ins and outs of the matter. Compared with Duanmu Cheng, Duanmu Bowen asked more carefully.

After Duanmu Wei finished speaking, Duanmu Bowen pondered for a long time.

Duanmu Cheng asked a little anxiously: "Father, the key to the Holy Palace is an extremely secret matter, only the elders of the clan and the heads of the past generations know about it, how can the outside world know about this matter?" ”

"What secret?" Duanmuwei looked surprised, "Even I don't know?" ”

Duanmu Bowen said: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, this is a rule handed down from my ancestors." But now that that's happening, there's no harm in telling you. Our family is a royal family, and the ancestral tablets are all royal descendants, and the ancestors are also traced back to the kings of the Zhuzi Dynasty every year. Although they are all mortals, they cannot be regarded as our ancestors in cultivation. As far as the sect is concerned, our founding ancestor must be traced back to the Niangniang of the Golden Saint Palace. It is because of her that we are able to step into the door of spiritual practice. Most people in the world think that our cultivation benefited from the Tang monks and apprentices back then, saying that when they passed by Zhu Ziguo, they not only cured the king's illness, but also rescued the Jinsheng Palace Niangniang from the hands of the Qilin Mountain Demon King Sai Tai Sui, and also instructed the practice of several princes by the way. ”

"Isn't that so?" Duanmu Wei looked dazed, "I know that's the same!" ”

Duanmu Bowen shook his head and said: "Although the rumors are not much different from the facts of the year, our sect has been inherited, but it is not the credit of Tang monks and apprentices. Think about it, they have only lived in Zhu Ziguo for a few days? In just a few days, you can inherit the next sect, isn't it a fantasy? Besides, if that's the case, shouldn't we treat them as our ancestors? If that's true, I'm not against that. But unfortunately this is not the case. Have you ever seen Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie when we worshiped our ancestors? ”

"Of course not." Duanmuwei said while reminiscing, "Then who is our ancestor master?" ”

"Master Zu is the Master Zu you saw, Duanmu Qing. Although he did not become an immortal in the end, our faction was indeed created by him. He was the son of the king and the mother of the Golden Sacred Palace, and he was supposed to inherit the throne, but the mother said that the emperor's nobility was only half a life of flashiness, and it was better to jump out of the red dust, ask him for an eternal life, and also seek a path for the descendants of the family. Since then, our prince has embarked on the path of spiritual practice. ”

"And who is his master?"

"His master is the Golden Saint Palace Niangniang herself."

"Ah......" Duanmuwei exclaimed, "Niang Niang knows the Dao Fa?" But...... Isn't it said that she is just an ordinary person, who was arrested and imprisoned for three years by Sai Tai Sui, but fortunately Ziyang Zhenren kept her innocence with fairy clothes, and was finally rescued by Sun Wukong? ”

Duanmu Bowen smiled: "These are all legends, and there are indeed relevant records in the notes left by Niangniang." But haven't you thought about the irrationality in it? ”

"Of course I did!" Duanmu Wei's eyes widened and said, "Niangniang is naturally beautiful, and she is captivating the country and the city, but there are many beautiful women in the world, and Sai Tai Sui is a demon in the lower realm, why do you want to take Niangniang captive to be the lady of the village?" Ziyang real person passed by, why did she give her Xia clothes to protect herself? If it's sympathy, wouldn't it be good to just save people? Also, Sai Tai Sui locked her up for three years, and she couldn't touch it, but she still didn't give up, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a monster robbing people, but like a poignant love story! ”

Duanmu Bowen said: "What you said is right, in fact, the Niangniang of the Golden Saint Palace is not an ordinary person at all, she is a pomegranate tree by the Hailiu Pavilion. ”

"What?!" Duanmuwei was taken aback, "Niangniang...... She...... She's a goblin? That...... Aren't we all ......?"

"All descendants of goblins." Duanmu Bowen touched the mustache on his lips and said the half of the sentence that Duanmu Wei didn't dare to say, "We all have goblin blood flowing in our bodies. Although more than a thousand years have passed, this blood has long been diluted, as long as we don't say it, no one knows. But that doesn't change the fact that we're goblins. Essentially, we are all half-human, half-demon things, and maybe one day a genetic mutation will cause a real demon to appear among our offspring. ”
