d7cfd3c4b8f3 Birch smiled indifferently: "Now you should believe that it was no one else who killed Ye Xuanzhi, but himself, to be precise, his heart demon completely devoured his life"

"No, it's not true, Ye Xuanzhi is not such a person," Qi Lu's face was forced to be calm, but his body was already trembling slightly

Although for many years, he and Ye Xuanzhi have always competed with each other in secret in terms of subduing demons and eliminating demons, testing spells, etc., but Qi Lu knows Ye Xuanzhi well, he has always been jealous and hateful, upright, and has a good reputation in the demon hunting world, but now Birch shows a different Ye Xuanzhi, this is how Qi Lu can believe what Birch said

"Ye Xuanzhi didn't deliberately hit someone, but he didn't save him when he saw death at a critical moment, but chose to run away to escape his responsibility, and what was the difference between what he did and beasts at that moment?"

Seeing that Qi Lu was still suspicious, Birch further explained: "But after all, he is not a vicious person, and he still has a conscience in his heart, although no one knows about this matter, but he has been living in guilt, and he has thought about surrendering himself, but unfortunately at the last moment, he still retreats."

Could it be that Ye Xuanzhi has been doing good deeds for so many years, and even catching demons and ghosts in the homes of poor people without receiving remuneration, all to atone for his sins, Qi Lu's heart is churning like the sea, and after thinking about it, he began to feel that Birch's words were not unreasonable, not like exonerating himself

"Originally, it was all right, but who can predict it accurately in the future, when Ye Xuanzhi went to the motorcycle fan's house to drive away the unjust soul for him, the tragedy began to unfold."

Birch continued: "After he finished the law, the family left him to eat and drink, Ye Xuanzhi accidentally saw those motorcycle models, and suddenly evoked the most secret past in his heart, and when he came back, he was naturally restless and began to have nightmares at night, I remembered that he had slashed demons for many years and sought a lot of benefits for the people, so he had the heart to help him, so he sneaked into his dreams every time he had nightmares, devouring those unbearable memories to reduce the pressure in his heart, hoping to make him forget this matter completely."

Birch said this, and the teacup quietly appeared in his hand again, and he sipped tea lightly, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes

Although Birch didn't continue the story, Qi Lu also roughly guessed the real reason why Ye Xuanzhi chose to drink poisoned wine to end his life

Birch had almost erased Ye Xuanzhi's sins, and just when Ye Xuanzhi was about to forget his painful memories and lose his spiritual baggage and become a new man, the mirage intruded on his nightmare in order to find the copper coin with important clues

In this way, the situation instantly developed in the opposite direction, causing the guilt in Ye Xuanzhi's heart to continue to deepen, not only making him have nightmares at night, but also suffering from hallucinations during the day, Ye Xuanzhi finally couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience and committed suicide to seek the final relief

Qi Lu never thought that Ye Xuanye's case would be such an answer in the end, he sighed for a long time, was silent for a long time, and then said luckily: "Even if Ye Xuanzhi's death is suicide as you said, but what about the other people in the community who died with strange causes, I don't believe that they also gave their lives out of guilt like Ye Xuanye."

"For people who are selfish and evil, this kind of thing is not worth mentioning to him, and naturally it will not have much impact on him, for example, Pei Liping's murder of his wife and the mirage have played a role in fueling the trouble," Birch said quietly: "But for those people who are good-natured, they are confused and do something wrong, although no one knows, but after all, they can't escape the conscience, take the young man you met on the first day you came here in a panic and ran away, and was finally hit by a car and died, his death was because of his younger brother."

"His younger brother" Qi Luyan was puzzled

"He once had a younger brother who was well-behaved and smart since he was a child, and was deeply loved by his parents, as the old saying goes, a good bowl of water is difficult to level, and his parents care too much about his younger brother, so naturally they care less about him as an elder brother."

Birch took another sip of tea and said, " Of course, the elder brother is not comfortable in his heart, but it is not good to express this emotion because of the brotherhood, when he was in school, there was a summer vacation, and the two of them saw that the weather was hot, so they went to the river to swim with their parents, who knew that the younger brother suddenly cramped in the water, and the elder brother was going to rescue, but in his mind, he remembered all the love of his parents for his younger brother, and all the grievances broke out at that moment, he actually had evil thoughts in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, if his younger brother died, wouldn't he be able to enjoy the love of his parents alone, driven by this evil thought, he not only did not save his younger brother, but watched him drown in front of him”

Qi Lu asked: "So it was a mirage to make trouble, causing him to hallucinate during the day, and saw his brother's unjust soul to ask for his life, so he accidentally bumped into me, and chose the way to escape, but accidentally crashed into the speeding car."

"That's how things happened," Birch shook the folding fan in his hand and looked at Qi Lu coldly and said, "You should know that as a god, you will not take the initiative to disturb the balance of the world."

Qi Lu said with emotion: "No wonder these people's eyes are empty before they die, this is a typical symptom of being tricked into illusion."

However, Qi Lu still didn't dare to believe Birch's words, he hesitated and said, "But how can I tell if you didn't do these things in order to restore your divine power?"

Before Qi Lu's words were finished, he saw Birch put the folding fan on the table, slapped it vigorously, and said loudly: "People are doing what the heavens are watching, and no one knows the evil things they think they have done, don't you know that the eyes of God are like electricity, how can you hide from the world, and besides, if I want to restore my former divine power, why should I live in this small place, I don't know how many ways to do it faster than this, but they are all at the cost of other people's lives, as a god, how can I do such a thing that violates the way of heaven."

Qi Lu, who said a few words, was speechless

Birch was still indignant and said, "Do you want me to show you all the evil things I have done in my strange life before my eyes?"

Qi Lu couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw what he said, and hurriedly got up to apologize: "The Dream God is famous in the Three Realms, and I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Qi apologizes to you here."

Birch put away the folding fan and motioned for Qi Lu to sit down and talk to him again, only to see his expression gloomy for a moment before he sighed softly: "Even if you misunderstand me, I don't want to embarrass you, there are not many gods left in this world, if you die again, my world will be even more lonely."

He pointed the folding fan at Qi Lu, and Qi Lu suddenly felt that a clear stream rose from the dantian to his brain, and then quietly disappeared

"Thinking of you and I knowing each other, I will give you a big gift"

Qi Lu asked, "What kind of gift is it?"

Birch said indifferently: "I relieved the nightmare that has plagued you for many years"

Qi Lu was about to get up, and Xie Boqi signaled that he didn't need to be polite

Qi Lu asked again: "I don't know something, I want to ask you to understand, can you answer the doubts in my heart?"

"Please," said Birch, the folding fan in his hand crept into his body like a living creature

"Who is the person who tried to kill me with a sword in my dream?"

"Hehe, this question is to the point," Birch said softly with his hands on his head: "Actually, you don't need me to give the answer, you can roughly guess his identity, if this guy is really resurrected, you and I will die without a place to be buried."

Qi Lu didn't speak, he already understood the meaning of Birch's words, he didn't want to fall into another nightmare

While speaking, the tea set reappeared on the jade table, Qi Lu took the teacup and put it to his mouth, but he couldn't drink it, and it seemed that he was still recalling what Birch had said to him

Birch sighed softly again: "Shahua is going to die, the burden on your shoulders is not light."

Qi Lu was stunned when he said this, and he put the teacup back on the table

"Seeing the people leave one by one, sometimes I really want to go with them," Birch suddenly laughed again, "but more often than not, I also want to be a free-spirited soul master like you, happy in the Three Realms."

Qi Lu shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that the soul master is not as carefree as you think, if I can choose again, I may be an ordinary person, and there will be someone to eat with you when I go home from 9 to 5 every day."

"Everyone in the world sees the glamorous side of the gods, but they don't know that they can't control their own fate," Birch felt infinite emotion, he stood up and looked at the endless void in the distance, turned his back to Qi Lu, and said: "If there is really a chance to choose again, will you return to Kunlun Holy Mountain with me?"

"I don't know," Qi Lu replied honestly, and he had mixed feelings in his heart

"What a tough boy," said Birch, "go back, you and I have chosen different paths, and naturally we have to bear the pain and loneliness it brings."

Birch's back became more and more blurred in Qi Lu's eyes, not only that, but even the entire white world was also blurred

Qi Lu, who was sitting cross-legged in Ding Xiaolan's bedroom, suddenly opened his eyes

"Qi Lu, you're finally back," Ding Xiaolan took a towel and gently wiped the sweat off his face

Qi Lu raised his eyes and saw that the east was already white, and a red sun was about to burst out

"You're fine," Lao Wu said, "The mandala thread tied to your wrist disappeared inexplicably, and I really sweated for you, thinking you couldn't come back."

Qi Lu stood up, moved his numb muscles, and then said to the two of them with a smile: "Yes, I almost died in a dream, but Lord Yama thought I was too handsome and refused to accept me, so I had to come back to accompany you."

"Cut" Ding Xiaolan didn't have the slightest lady image at all, and raised her middle finger at him

Qi Lu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and returned the short knife to Lao Wu

After Lao Wu took the knife, he asked him: "You used this knife to kill the dream tapir?"

"Alas, don't mention it," Qi Lu said softly: "Don't say that your knife is my divine soldier, and I can't help him."

"You're kidding, it's just a demon beast, and it's not for you to deal with the demon king."

Qi Lu replied: "Do you know that this guy is more difficult to deal with than the demon king."

Ding Xiaolan suddenly became interested when she heard Qi Lu's words, and she hurriedly said to Qi Lu: "Then you tell us what happened."

Qi Lu was about to smoke a cigarette and then tell them everything that happened in the dream, but as soon as his hand reached into his pocket, he was stunned, because he found that there was no cigarette in his pocket, but there was something else

Qi Lu subconsciously took the strange thing in front of his eyes and looked at it, and found that it was a strand of black hair

"Whose hair is this?" asked Lao Wu

Qi Lu suddenly smiled very proudly, and he suddenly remembered the scene when Birch turned into a huge monster and tossed on his back

At first, I thought it was the fur of the monster, but it turned out to be Birch's hair, and if Oneiroi knew that this strand of hair had been brought to reality by himself, wouldn't he be full of resentment

Qi Lu found a piece of talisman paper, carefully wrapped the strand of hair and put it in the pocket of his underwear, and then said to Ding Xiaolan with a smile: "Beauty, let's make breakfast for us first, and when we eat later, I will tell you the interesting story in my dream."
