The time dimension of different spaces is different, Yan Xi has seen Xi Xi's life trajectory for several years in the black hole of memory, the reality is just a blink of an eye, he looked back and was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had lost something.

"What are you doing at the door? Hurry in and eat, the rice is ready for you. Xi Niang said, sitting in the position due east.

The old-fashioned folding round table has several dishes on the table, and in the center is a pot of stewed pork ribs, from left to right, stir-fried shrimp with rape, cold tomatoes, stir-fried meat with chili, preserved egg tofu, fried chicken fillet and a small pot of seaweed egg drop soup.

Yan Xi sat by the door, with a bowl of rice in front of him, and chopsticks were placed on the bowl.

Xi Ting took an empty cup from the table beside her, poured a glass of Coke, and put it in front of Yan Xi, "Just one cup, is there too much." As he spoke, he put a bucket of Coke at his feet to prevent others from stealing it.

Yan Xi eats very slowly, eager to eat a grain of rice, he only hopes that the first time he eats with his family can be longer, and when he looks back on it in the future, he can have a clear picture in his mind.

"The food is delicious." Yan Xi said with a smile and took a sip of Coke.

The middle-aged man smiled innocently and sandwiched a piece of pork ribs into the Yanxi bowl. "Eat more if it's delicious."

"Dad, what about mine!" Xi Ting pouted and said.

"Look how fat you are, eat more tomatoes and less meat." Xi Niang said, glaring at her.

A lovely meal.

Xi Ting ate the fastest, slapped her buttocks after eating, and returned to her house with a bucket of Coke.

Yan Xi helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, stacked the bowls and plates together and put them in the kitchen, and Xi Niang wrapped the rest of the dishes in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. The middle-aged man was going to put the table and chairs away.

Xi Niang scolded and said: "Zhenshan, you can sit on the ground quickly, and you won't stop if your leg is broken." ”

The middle-aged man scratched his head in embarrassment and sat down on a chair in the living room with a cane.

Yan Xi put away the table and chairs, and Xi Niang went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The father and son sat in the living room, and after a moment of silence, Xi Zhenshan said: "Go to the hut and put incense on your grandparents, I haven't come back for a long time." ”

Yan Xi sighed, got up and went to the outhouse. There are many rooms in the outhouse, he doesn't know which room it is, he can only look for it one by one, relying on the smell of incense, Yan Xi found the room, pushed open the door, and turned on the light.

There was a black and white curtain on the wall of the room, the tail was tied into a ball, three on the left and three on the right, and a long table was placed opposite the door, and the table was covered with a white cloth, which had fallen a lot of dust, and looked dirty, and in the middle of the table was a small copper incense burner, on which were sporadically inserted a few burned incense buttocks. Two black-and-white photographs hang on the wall.

In Yan Xi's memory, these two are her grandparents, and she hurts herself very much, but she left very early.

Yan Xi took out three sticks of incense from the drawer, lit them with a lighter, bowed respectfully three times, inserted the incense into the incense burner, knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed three times to each photo in turn.

Turning off the light, Yan Xi left the room.

At this time, his mobile phone rang, Cai Wenxi sent a WeChat video invitation, Yan Xi hesitated, but still connected the video call, the screen in the mobile phone was black, and Cai Wenxi's voice came out, "Xixi, are you not there?" Awkward, not there? ”

Yan Xi hung up the phone decisively, and a beautiful woman with ** upper body suddenly appeared on the originally dark screen just now, are the little girls so bold now?

"I'm at home now, and I'll be talking when I get back to my room." Yan Xi replied in a voice.

Xi Niang washed the dishes and chopsticks, came out of the kitchen, heard Yan Xi's words, and said with a smile: "It's Wen Xi, you go to your house to sleep, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Yan Xi's face was black.

Xi Zhenshan asked curiously: "Who is Wen Xi?" ”

Xi Niang happily sat next to Xi Zhenshan, the two heads were close to each other, Xi Niang said: "You don't know, Wen Xi's girl looks handsome, and her heart is good, just when I was in the hospital, I brought things to see us every day, apples, cakes, and milk." I'm embarrassed to accept it, so I have to force me to accept it, you tell me, is this girl you can meet because of the green smoke on the ancestral grave of your old man's family. ”

Xi Zhenshan nodded innocently.

Xi Niang glanced at Yan Xi and continued: "Fortunately, I started early, and I often talk to Wen Xi about some parents who are short and very real little girls, I gave her all the bracelets given by my mother." It's still our son who is powerful, and he can catch it. Isn't it a son? ”

Yan Xi walked to his house, and made an OK gesture, I really can't stay any longer, maybe when the old lady will ask him if you two have a relationship? How do you ask me to answer, don't you?

Originally, Yan Xi wanted to ask about her father's leg, but unfortunately the timing was not right, so let's find another opportunity tomorrow.

Yan Xi returned to her room, locked the door, and dialed Cai Wenxi's WeChat video.

Once a woman becomes yellow, a man's eight horses can't catch up. After nearly 1 hour of calling, Yan Xi was unbearable, Cai Wenxi waved her hand with a smile and ended today's conversation.

It's almost 10 o'clock in the evening, Yan Xi took advantage of the current heat, simply did some upper limb muscle exercises, sweated, took a bath and went to sleep.

After falling asleep, Yan Xi's mind was once again pulled into his consciousness space, and Qianyuan sat in front of Xi Xi like an old Taoist priest, calming down.

Yan Xi looked at the egg, the outer egg skin has tended to be stony, as long as it reaches the equilibrium point of solidification, it will not need to be manually reinforced, it will gradually stabilize itself.

Yan Xi asked: "Mr. Qianyuan, what is the so-called matter this time?" ”

Qianyuan's body did not move, slowly opened his eyes, and said indifferently: "I'm about to leave." ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Nothingness." Qianyuan slowly stood up, looking into the distance, his gaze seemed to penetrate the space of consciousness, into the vast material universe, and saw countless lives struggling to be born, struggling to live, struggling to die. "I haven't found a way to break the limit after all, you can help me walk around the road ahead."

Yan Xi was silent, he knew what path Qianyuan was taking, it was a dead end at all, the ultimate that he could not reach in his life. Who would be stupid enough to devour the entire universe of minds in order to achieve their goal of eternal life.

Qianyuan chuckled and said, "Do you think you have any other choice?" All things in the universe cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death, only annihilation is eternal. ”

"You want to do it to me!" Yan Xi said vigilantly, he quietly retreated, trying to stay away from the old monster in front of him.

Qianyuan sighed, turned his body, and looked at Yan Xi, his old eyes were cloudy, like a swamp. He said: "It's not that I want to do it, it's someone who forced me to do it, he wants me to die and let you live." ”

A dazzling stone floated out of the center of Qianyuan's eyebrows, Yan Xi looked stunned, his mind seemed to have stopped, and an identical colorful stone floated out of his eyebrows.

"Is a mirrored thinking universe enough for my life?" Abyss shouted loudly towards the sky.

The two stones slowly fused together, emitting a dazzling multicolored light, and a small white hand stretched out from the light, like a child grasping candy, snatching one thought thread after another from the body of the abyss.

Qianyuan's old body was even older, his body was shriveled, and he sat on the ground with his back slumped, allowing the power he had desperately grabbed to be easily taken away.

"What a stubborn old man." A voice came from the light, and the little hand took the last of the thought threads and slowly disappeared. The two colorful stones separated again, one returned to the center of Yan Xi's eyebrows, and the other melted into the Xi Xi egg.

Yan Xi's thinking recovered, first he checked his body, and found nothing abnormal, and then saw the old dog of the abyss paralyzed on the ground like a rotten corpse, he came closer, and heard the old man humming something softly.

Yan Xi got closer and heard the content of the ballad clearly, it seemed to be a nursery rhyme from Qianyuan's hometown.

"Taoist priest, Taoist priest, sleeping lady; Taoist priests, Taoist priests, murderers, the whole family; Taoist priest, Taoist priest, I can't see a living person; Taoist priest, Taoist priest, you have a leg. ”

Qianyuan's hoarse and deep voice kept singing this ballad, Yan Xi listened to it a little infiltrating, and kicked him lightly with her foot, "Old bastard, what's wrong with you?" ”

The song came to an abrupt end, and the abyss raised its head slowly, two white balls protruding from the deeply sunken eye sockets, two black spots like flies in the middle, shriveled and wrinkled lips, lost teeth, and a vanished nose, like a skeleton.

Yan Xi was startled, and took a step back, he saw the skeleton struggling and smiling at him, even more terrifying than the scariest movie he had ever seen.

The skeleton asked in a low voice, "I'm a Taoist priest, are you afraid of me?" ”

Yan Xi raised her leg and kicked the skeleton's head away, and Qianyuan's body dissipated, "I'm afraid of your uncle." Dog stuff. ”

In the memory black hole, Ling Xi twisted the neck of a thinking creature with an indifferent face, and looked at the thinking creature that was still materializing not far away, he smiled slightly, "Is this the cause and effect in the mouth of Taoists?" It's kind of interesting. ”

Ling Xi raised a hand, and a willow leaf appeared in the middle of the palm, and the willow leaf grew at a rapid speed, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a towering willow tree. Half of Zero's body was wrapped around the roots of the willow tree, as if the tree had grown out of his body.

The willow tree has golden cicadas, and it is long singing and green.

"The wind comes—"

The sound of the sa willow leaves is like the murmuring of the monks, and the Zen sound is curling.

No matter how many thinking creatures rushed towards them fiercely, near the willow tree, they let go of the obsession in their hearts, bowed to the Buddha on their knees, and chanted the true scriptures.

As far as the eye can see, there is a colorful glow shining on the earth, and the willow trees are full of gold leaves. The people sitting cross-legged, under the illumination of the golden light, re-transformed into thin lines of thought, merging with each other into a gradually thicker river, merging into the willow trees, and the cicadas chirping loudly.

Ling Xi moved his body slightly, and the willow tree attached to him floated away like catkins, and a golden cicada shook its wings and landed on Ling Xi's shoulder, squeaking non-stop.

Ling Xi stretched his waist and yawned, "There is another story to listen to now." ”
