Chapter 44: Huaye Mountain 3
Since these people living in the mountains are willing, what about peace and impossibility?
And they live here and don't go out and disturb other people's lives. Just like youkai live in the human world, as long as they don't interfere with each other, that's enough.
In this case.
There is no need to distinguish between right and wrong, or to accuse a certain way of life is wrong.
"Master, I smell Gao Jin!"
Inugami said suddenly.
Inugami tried to sniff the air and looked very serious.
"Let's get over there." Chen Beibei said in surprise.
It is undoubtedly a very lucky thing to find Gao Jin at this time.
Even if Chen Beibei doesn't plan to care about Gao Jin's affairs. But if you can see whether the scroll that Gao Jin bought for more than 100 million yuan is a flower and bird scroll, it will naturally be excellent.
Chen Beibei and the owner of the sea followed behind the dog god, and the dog god walked very slowly.
Stop-and-go.
Barely walking for a while, it was time to stop and reorient the smell in the air.
At this time, the smell of the dog god was still very weak.
The forest was dense, and all kinds of plants were growing extremely fat, and the very fat bird appeared beside Chen Beibei and them again.
But.
The green color of the fat bird has been completely integrated into the surrounding green vegetation. Chen Beibei and the others walked past the fat bird, since they couldn't find it.
The speed at which the dog god walks is getting faster and faster.
Chen Beibei and the owner of the sea square were already a little laborious to follow, but fortunately, it didn't take too long, and the dog god stopped.
"Master, it's right in front of here."
The dog god stood in front of a pile of fat ferns, and the tall fern stems and leaves stood in the way in front of him.
Chen Beibei stretched out his hand and pushed away the fat stems and leaves in front of him.
In front of him appeared a simple wooden house, made of dead wood and fern leaves.
Chen Beibei couldn't help but walk over.
The green fat bird also followed Chen Beibei and them to the side of the wooden house.
But.
It's still hard to spot.
It seems that this fat bird is completely integrated with its surroundings.
"Gao Jin, are you in there?"
Chen Beibei knocked on the door and asked loudly.
The people in the room didn't respond, so Chen Beibei had no choice but to push the door and walk in.
As soon as he walked into the room, Chen Beibei felt a powerful aura. This made Chen Beibei retreat directly from the room, and the door that was originally opened was also closed.
When Chen Beibei opened the door and went in again, he happened to bump into a man head-on.
It's Gaojin!
"Are you...... A Taoist priest in Qinghe Town? β
Gao Jin looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
Gao Jin looked like a different person than before, with a scruffy beard, messy hair, and a lot of black mud in his nails, not to mention the clothes on his body.
When Gao Jin went to Chen Beibei's house to find Chen Beibei, Gao Jin was still a clean and handsome, young and promising successful young man. It's only been a long time, and now it's been like this.
"Well, how did you get here?"
Chen Beibei looked at Gao Jin and asked him.
Chen Beibei didn't ask Gao Jin why he became like this, because Chen Beibei was afraid that Gao Jin would realize his downfall and didn't dare to talk to Chen Beibei.
Gao Jin lowered his head, was silent for a while, and then said, "It's very good here......"
Chen Beibei didn't know what Gao Jin meant by this. Isn't it good that I've become like this?
If he was in Sakura City, others would definitely treat him as a beggar when they saw him like this. Who would have thought that he was the rich man who spent more than 100 million yuan to buy a painting?
Chen Beibei looked at Gao Jin's house from the open door, there was no furniture in it, there were no modern tools, not even a bed.
In the corner of the wall, there are piles of leaves and dry thatch. It's probably where Takajin sleeps.
"Hiss......" Chen Beibei saw a colorful picture scroll from the pile of dry thatch, "It's so beautiful!" β
Chen Beibei's gaze did not take his eyes off for a long time, and he was directly stunned.
Even if what Chen Beibei saw was only a small part of that picture, it was enough to make Chen Beibei feel unable to control his body. There's a youkai living in this painting, right?
Gao Jin saw Chen Beibei's strange appearance, and hurriedly turned sideways to block Chen Beibei's sight, "Dao Chief, what are you doing here?" β
Chen Beibei came back to his senses and looked at Gao Jin looking at him vigilantly.
"We're here for you."
Chen Beibei met Gao Jin's gaze and said with a serious face.
At this time.
Chen Beibei opened his spiritual eye, and he could already see a huge aura emanating from the pile of dry thatch. The possibility that the painting was a roll of flowers and birds has become very big.
An event in which a youkai comes into contact with a normal human.
There are many from ancient times to the present day.
However, it basically ended in tragedy.
Ordinary humans can't see youkai, but youkai can see normal humans.
At this point, there is no equivalence between the two.
And.
Even if the two can see each other and continue to live like this, the difference between youkai and humans will always be revealed. What's more, many youkai also regard humans as enemies.
Looking at Gao Jin's appearance, if Gao Jin continues like this, he may soon die here.
If that picture wasn't a youkai.
So even if Gao Jin died, it was only because Gao Jin died after being deceived by humans.
This kind of thing is not under the control of Chen Beibei.
Chen Beibei can choose to take care of it, but he can also turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.
After all.
This kind of thing happens all the time in the human world. These things are managed by other human beings.
But.
Now he is facing monsters, and this is Chen Beibei's responsibility. After all, the affairs of the two worlds of yin and yang need to be handled by an onmyoji. Whether it's human infatuation or the teasing of monsters, these should be channeled clearly.
Let the yin return to the yin, and the yang to the yang. No impact on each other.
"Looking for me......?"
Gao Jin looked at Chen Beibei and asked with some doubts.
β¦β¦
Gao Jin closed the door, intending to talk to Chen Beibei and them outside.
Apparently.
Gao Jin didn't plan to let Chen Beibei and them see that picture.
"Gao Jin, did you know that you live with a youkai?" Chen Beibei said it bluntly.
For something like this.
There is no need for Chen Beibei to beat around the bush, after all, Gao Jin is not a fool.
When Gao Jin spent more than 100 million yuan to buy that painting.
I think I already know this!
Otherwise, Gao Jin would not have sold the house, sold everything in the house, and came to buy this painting.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Gao Jin sat at the door of his house, as if he was blocking and preventing people from entering his house. "Dao Chief, let's go."
"Gao Jin, I want to clarify this matter with you. In the end, though, it's up to you to decide, and we won't get in the way of your decision. It's just that you have to know what you're doing. β
Chen Beibei looked at Gao Jin and said to him.
Gao Jin has now become like this, and he is undoubtedly completely obsessed with that painting.
At this time, Chen Beibei just wanted to explain everything to Gao Jin.
"So...... You say. β
Gao Jin said.
"In that painting you bought, there is a youkai living there, you should know about this, right?"
Chen Beibei looked at Gao Jin and asked him.
"Hmm." Gao Jin nodded, and did not deny it, "When I first saw that painting, I fell directly into the painting. β
Gao Jin's answer made Chen Beibei feel a little happy.
It seems that Gao Jin is not reluctant to talk to himself about that painting, maybe Gao Jin himself also wants to know more about that painting.
"And what do you see in that painting?" Chen Beibei asked tentatively.
"I saw my wife'......"
Gao Jin replied slowly. A tear in the corner of his eye slid down his cheek.
β¦β¦
Gao Jin slowly talked about himself, of course, about the painting.
γFalling cherry blossom city, a sunny day.
Gao Jin was sitting in a daze in the house where his wife had died, and through the window, Gao Jin saw the auction being held outside.
Gao Jin looked at the empty white bed, which still had the indentations of his wife's sleep.
Through that vague outline, Gao Jin saw his wife lying on the bed, smiling at him.
Pale face...... Heartbreaking smiles......
Gao Jin's tears fell again, and he didn't wipe them, just let the tears flow.
"Hey~"
A small voice sounded in Gao Jin's ears.
Gao Jin suddenly came back to his senses, and a figure that looked very much like his wife floated towards the auction. Gao Jin hurriedly opened the door and chased out, and then saw the picture scroll that was being auctioned.
Just a glance.
Gao Jin fell into the painting, and the beautiful scene was like a dream.
Flowers and plants, crystal clear streams.
There were colorful birds flying in the air, none of this mattered, Gao Jin just walked in a hurry.
Soon.
Gao Jin saw a back.
A slender figure, dressed in plain clothes, with black hair like a waterfall, poured down, Gao Jin stood for a long time, not daring to approach.
Gao Jin is afraid...... Afraid of that back, that person will turn into foam when he gets close.
Gao Jin has seen this kind of illusion countless times.
"Just look at it...... That's enough! β
In the next few days, Gao Jin kept looking at that back from a distance.
Gao Jin didn't dare to go around the front.
He was afraid that the face he suddenly saw was not his wife's, and he was also afraid that the back had no face at all.
But.
Gao Jin would never have thought that when he was looking at that back, that woman would turn around: "Gao Jin......"
That's what a wife looks like.
It is impossible for Gao Jin to admit his mistake, his wife's eyes, his wife's nose, his wife's mouth, everything about his wife, Gao Jin is deeply engraved in his heart.
Sound...... Also.
That soft call, as every time before, the wife called her own tone. There are thousands of tenderness, all kinds of love.
In this way, Gao Jin and his wife began to live a happy life.
Even if it's just a simple talk, even if it's just a walk. Everything made Gao Jin intoxicated and difficult to extricate himself.
"A million, once!"
"A million, twice!"
"A Million ,......"
Gao Jin heard these voices and realized that he was in an auction. And what is being auctioned is that magical picture. Gao Jin shouted in panic: "One hundred million! One hundred million! I'll give 100 million! β
The venue was silent.
After the auctioneer quickly shouted three times, he hurriedly dropped the hammer, "100 million, deal!" β
Gao Jin got the painting.
Gao Jin also handed over all the family property to the organizer of the auction, and after the family property was sold, one realized more than 110 million yuan. And the extra money, Gao Jin no longer wants.
Since then, Gao Jin has come to Huaye Mountain. γ
"Gao Jin, you know that the scenes in that painting are all illusions, right?"
Chen Beibei looked at Gao Jin and asked him.
"Hmm......" Gao Jin nodded a little frustratedly and continued: "Even if it is an illusion, the happiness obtained is real!" β
"I really ...... without Xiaoli's days I really can't live......"
Gao Jin said bitterly.
Xiaoli is the name of Gao Jin's wife, and it still looks very ordinary. Chen Beibei didn't know why Gao Jin loved her so much, but in this world, there are always such people.
Obviously, as long as you put aside those painful memories, you can start again.
But.
But he voluntarily struggles with pain, and he doesn't want to forget someone.
"If you keep going like this, you're going to die, you know?"
Chen Beibei asked.
"I know ......" Gao Jin replied with a calm face, as if he had been waiting for this ending for a long time.
"Are you really ready for that?"
Chen Beibei asked again.
"Hmm."
Gao Jin nodded seriously, "When Xiaoli died, I already wanted to accompany her." It's just that at that time, I wanted to avenge Xiaoli first, but I was still too useless......"
"The revenge has been avenged, and that monster won't hurt people anymore."
Chen Beibei replied.
The aura gathered by the armor was all dispelled by Chen Beibei, and the monster was now sealed in the armor. What Chen Beibei said can be regarded as true.
"Really?"
"Hmm."
Gao Jin didn't seem to be very happy, revenge was just an excuse for him to be able to do things for his wife.
Helping his wife take revenge will naturally give Gao Jin psychological comfort.
But.
After getting this psychological comfort.
What you are facing may be an even more suffocating sense of helplessness.
"Daoist, please go back. Just let me be here and live the life I want. β
Gao Jin said slowly.
At this time, Chen Beibei had already told Gao Jin everything.
Gao Jin also made his own choice!
Gao Jin knew that the painting was a monster, and he also knew that the wife he saw was just an illusory thing created by the ability of a monster. But Gao Jin still wants to continue to immerse himself in these illusions.
Chen Beibei and they had no choice but to leave.
Wish.
Gao Jin can live well here. Even if you live in an illusion!
