Flowey looked at me fixedly with a pair of cat eyes, and now I understood, in its eyes, there was an emotion called compassion. Lewen|

The days are long in early summer, but even the longest days are at night, when the sun sets, and the cabin inevitably falls into darkness.

The aunt sighed softly and got up to light the oil lamp. The summer breeze blows in through the doors and windows with the residual heat of the setting sun, blowing the lights gently swaying. I watched the fire jumping in front of me, like watching my own life go through the ups and downs.

After a long time, I shook my head slowly, banished the fear of death from my mind, and began to face the real mission of this time to Kucang Mountain.

"Auntie...... I'm here this time, in addition to coming to see you, there is one more thing I want to ask. ”

My aunt looked at me with a sad expression: "What's the matter, child, you ask." ”

"It's the person you told me before, the Tsing Yi Taoist priest who was too Yiguan." I paused for a moment and said, "Auntie, do you know where Taiyiguan is?" ”

The aunt frowned slightly, and asked slowly, "Do you want to go to Taiyiguan?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Taiyiguan was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, and now it is estimated that it is in dilapidation." My aunt sighed and said, "It's just like our Yellow Gate." ”

I've heard my aunt talk about it, so I'm not surprised.

"Child, what do you want to do when you want to go to Taiyiguan?" My aunt looked at me with a look of concern in her eyes, "Your current physical condition should be recuperating at home, instead of thinking about going so far away to Taiyiguan." ”

I thought to myself, even if I recuperate at home, I can live for a year at most, so what's the point. Besides, I promised Xiaobai to help her get her memory back, and if I don't help her now, will I help her when I die and become a ghost?

"Auntie, is it too far away? Have you been? ”

My aunt said, "I went there a long time ago, didn't I tell you?" I have a grudge with the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, and he also went to the Yellow Gate to find me trouble, I later practiced Taoism successfully, remembering the grievances of the year, so I found the Taoist Gate of Taiyiguan, planning to find the old immortal to settle accounts. ”

My aunt stopped at this point, and I became curious and asked, "What happened to the result?" ”

"The result was a fight between me and the old immortal Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, and the process of the fight was ...... I won't talk about it, after that fight, the anger that had been pent up in my heart for decades dissipated, and I never went to watch it again. ”

What I was concerned about was actually the outcome of the fight between my aunt and the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, but listening to my aunt's tone, it shouldn't have been good, so I didn't ask more.

"Kid, are you sure you want to go to Taiyiguan?" My aunt looked at me worriedly.

"I'm going." I said firmly, "Auntie, tell me where Taiyiguan is." ”

The aunt was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Taiyiguan is in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, and the mountain is called Tianshou Mountain, and Taiyiguan is in the depths of Tianshou Mountain. What exactly is the location...... My aunt went there once back then, and after all these years, I can't remember it clearly. I only remember that there is a bronze statue erected at the door of Taiyiguan, and it looks like that narcissistic old immortal. It's just that it's too dilapidated for so many years, and I can't find a place to find it, so it's hard to say! ”

Tianshou Mountain ...... A bronze statue of the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi himself...... Taiyiguan ...... I wrote down these keywords, and thought to myself that Taiyiguan was actually in Beijing, and it seemed that I had to go to the courtyard gate......

"Child, although Taiyiguan is broken, the old immortality is not necessarily. If you find Taiyiguan, you have to be careful in everything. ”

Thinking of the deep meaning of my aunt's words, I was a little surprised and said, "Auntie, won't that Taoist priest in Tsing Yi still be alive?" After all these years, if he is still alive, he will not be a hundred years old? ”

"They all say that they are old and immortal!" My aunt showed a look of reminiscence, and said slowly, "When I went to Taiyiguan to find the old immortal to settle accounts, I found that his appearance did not age at all, and it was similar to the first time I met him in his twenties. ”

"Won't get old?" I interjected, "Is there a technique for rejuvenation?" ”

The aunt said with emotion: "I don't know about this, maybe they have a special health secret technique!" So I wouldn't be too surprised if he appeared in front of me alive now. Although after the Cultural Revolution, there was no news of Lao Immortal, and no one can say that he was really dead. ”

I thought to myself that Xiaobai had a sense of familiarity after hearing about the deeds of the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, and I was happy that Xiaobai and the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi had an old relationship, so I wanted to take her to Taiyi to watch and try her luck. If the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi is really successful in cultivating and living a long life, then for me and Xiaobai, we really have to be cautious. After all, Xiaobai is a ghost, and it is the instinct of Taoist priests to hunt ghosts, although Xiaobai is very powerful, I don't think she will be the opponent of Taoist priests in Tsing Yi.

I thought about it silently for a long time, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was a bit risky, and I could take risks myself, but I had no right to make such a risky decision on behalf of Xiaobai. So I decided to wait until I got out of the valley and tell Xiaobai the actual situation and let her make her own decision.

The next morning, I woke up early – in fact, I had no sleep all night. One of the characteristics of this person is that I accept reality very easily. Before she died, my grandmother told me that she had a three-yin constitution and was easy to see ghosts, and it didn't take long for me to accept it. Last time, my aunt told me that I only had a dozen years to live, and I quickly accepted it. This time my aunt told me to live for a year at most, and it took me the whole night to accept the reality.

I didn't want to complain about the heavens and others, nor did I want to take revenge on the society, I felt that all this was fate, and all I could do was to live the few days I had left, do something meaningful, and let my remaining life not be wasted.

In the morning, the Kucang Mountain was shrouded in a mist, the air was moist and dewy, I stood at the door of the cabin, looking at the valley that was gradually waking up, thinking that after I died, I would bury my ashes in this valley, and be accompanied by the green mountains and green valleys, which was also a good home......

"Come here, kid." My aunt called me from inside the house.

I answered the call and went into the hut, my aunt looked a little tired, and I knew that she hadn't slept much last night in her back room, when the oil lamp had been on all night.

My aunt stood at the table, there were four yellow talismans on the table, and a small black bottle, and when I came in, my aunt pointed to the four yellow talismans and said, "You are going to Taiyiguan, my aunt knows that you must have your own reasons, and my aunt will not stop you." I drew these charms last night, and you carry them with you, and they're good for your body. ”

I picked up the yellow talisman and looked at it, and saw that it was the four charms of 'retreating yin', 'stagnating yin', 'generating yang', and 'vitality'.

The aunt then picked up the small black bottle and said, "This bottle is medicine, you drink some water every day, although it can't prolong your lifespan, but it can delay the frequency of yin qi attacks in your body, which is also good." ”

I took the yellow charm and the little black bottle, thinking that these things should have been made by my aunt who stayed up late last night, and looked at my aunt's old and tired face, and my heart couldn't help but warm.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll come back after I go to Taiyiguan to do things, and I'll come to see you again when the time comes."

Although a year is not a long time, there should not be much problem going back and forth from Beijing.

The aunt wiped her eyes, staggered to the stove, and began to make breakfast.

"Meow-" Flowey jumped up from the ground and landed on my shoulder, then stuck out her tongue and licked my face.

"I'll be back......" I whispered, not knowing if I was speaking to myself or the world.

My aunt sent me out of the valley, and I walked under a big green tree a few kilometers outside the valley, only to see Xiaobai appear in front of my eyes in a leisurely manner.

Xiaobai's big eyes stared at me and said, "Chen Shen, your face is not very good. ”

Of course, the face is not good if you haven't slept all night. I said secretly in my heart, I knew that Xiaobai's senses had always been keen, and I was worried that she would see what was on my mind, so I tried to squeeze out a bright smile: "I'm fine, I already know where Taiyiguan is, don't you have feelings for that Taoist priest in Tsing Yi?" Let's try our luck in the past! ”

"What do you mean I have feelings for the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi?" Xiao Bai floated to my side with an annoyed look on his face, puffing out his cheeks and shouting at me, "Chen Shen, do you know how ugly you were smiling just now?" Did you do something sorry for me that made your expression so unnatural? ”

I involuntarily touched my cheek, wondering if I was smiling unnaturally just now?

"Looks like I guessed right." Xiaobai squinted at me, his eyes were a little unkind, "You must have spoken ill of me in front of your aunt!" ”

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly, how can I be in the mood to speak ill of you now!

"Scoundrel with no conscience!" Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiaobai stretched out his body and turned into a white shadow and pounced around me. The yin wind was blowing in my face, and I felt a chill all over my body, and the yin qi deep in my body was affected by Xiaobai, and it became active all of a sudden.

The chill rose from my lower abdomen and instantly occupied my whole body, I couldn't help but shiver, my hands and legs lost sensation, I felt myself trembling violently, and I fell to the ground in front of my eyes.

"Chen Shen?! What happened to you? Xiaobai's voice seemed to come from the sky, and I barely opened my eyes, Xiaobai had re-transformed into a human form, and was squatting beside me with a blank face.

"Chen Shen, are you sick? How can I feel that the yin qi in your body is more vigorous than that of me, a ghost? Xiaobai looked at me suspiciously and said.

I thought to myself that I was finally seen by you, and reached into my pocket and took out the four yellow talismans and the little black bottle that my aunt gave me.

With trembling hands, I pressed the four yellow talismans to my body, then opened the small black bottle with great difficulty, took a little of the medicine inside, and then lay on the ground and curled up in a ball.

I don't know how long it took, but I don't know if it was the yellow charm or the nameless medicine powder in the small black bottle that took effect, and I felt the chill in my body gradually subside, and my body became warm again.

I slowly got up and put away the yellow charm and the little black bottle. Xiaobai stood aside with his head down, looking uneasy about doing something wrong.
