Before I could break free from one dream, I suddenly entered another dream.

In this dream, it was my first Chinese New Year's Eve from the northeast to Chong'anguan.

That day, like an ownerless and lonely soul, after I found out that the roast chicken I had begged from the restaurant owner was missing, I thought that the whole world was bullying me, so I rushed into the Sanqing Hall and cried bitterly, wanting to ask why the Sanqing Patriarch had such an unfair fate.

I picked up the candlestick in the hall and threw it at the statue of Yuqing Lingbao Tianzun, but unexpectedly, the candlestick on the statue seemed to be controlled by divine power, and bounced back and plunged straight into my left chest......

I don't know how to insist on returning to the meditation room, I fell asleep on the bed, and when I woke up, it was evening, the sound of firecrackers and the lights of thousands of homes from the bottom of the mountain made me both envious and heartbroken, I endured the severe pain in my chest and changed into the eight-and-a-half-year-old dress, thinking that if I died in this dress, would I become an immortal after death like a flat-headed boy?

I felt my heart beat to stop soon, and just as I was raising my glass in melancholy, Xing Miao burst in, and she asked and answered me in the middle of the drink, and my consciousness was blurred, as if I was going to die at any moment.

When Xing Miao asked me about the whereabouts of the female ghost aunt, I was completely unconscious, and I felt that my soul was swimming out of my body, and I was rushing down the meditation room to the darkness, and the future was the ghost gate I went to last time.

"Yo he! You're so punctual!" Hao Tian'er, who I saw here last time, was still sitting in front of the door eating wine and food, and he was not surprised to see me coming, but invited me to the wine table in front of him to eat and drink as if he had calculated that I would come.

"Hey, didn't you bring your baby gourd this time?" Hao Tian'er asked me, and the eight-and-a-half-year-old was too cowardly to answer.

Seeing this, Hao Tian'er seemed to understand something, sighed and said to me, "Do you want to know why I know that you will come?"

As a young man, I nodded, still afraid to answer, but my attitude was very resolute.

"Judging by your appearance, I guess you will still be yang, otherwise with your temper, you would have started to talk nonsense with me when you came here in the past, and you just don't have any memories of the past now. Hao Tian'er picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said to me: "Since you still have a chance to live, then I won't tell you thoroughly, you will know your origin in the future, and I know today that you will come because you can only live to eight and a half years old every time you are reincarnated, no matter how you die, anyway, as long as you live a little more than eight years old, you will die, and if you die, you will definitely pass by me." ”

"Why?" I finally asked.

"Punishment. Hao Tian'er said.

"Who punished it?"

"The head of the heavenly realm will punish you. You have to go through the same fate 9 times, at first he let you reincarnate as a wild immortal, but then he felt that punishing you like this, once you become a climate in the world, it will cause the earth immortal to be difficult to manage, so let you reincarnate as a man, you are Ye Fulu in this life, and you will still be in the next life, anyway, you will only end this punishment after being reincarnated 9 times as Ye Fulu. But then I don't know how to do it, you actually survived the hurdle of eight and a half years of reincarnation once, and the reincarnated soul and the previous divine soul can be separated into independent different souls, but you who have passed the hurdle of eight and a half years old, the reincarnated soul has your original memory and cultivation after death, can you understand? I can't tell you what the same thing is, anyway, the current situation is that there is more than one you in the world, but you are in different time and space, you should be regarded as an eight-and-a-half-year-old doppelganger! Originally, he let the eight-and-a-half-year-old go through the mortal tribulation, but he cleverly took advantage of the loophole and used his doppelganger to reincarnate for himself, and it is not easy to say anything above, after all, your status is there, and this time punishing you for nine reincarnations is not a light punishment!"

"Why did you punish me?"

"Because you made a mistake. ”

"Where am I who lived past the age of eight and a half?"

"I don't know. ”

Just as I was about to continue asking, I saw a figure floating in the distance, it was the eight-and-a-half-year-old.

Eight-and-a-half-year-old looked at me, who was also eight and a half years old, and yelled at me with hatred: "How did you do it, why did you die again?" My brother asked me to come over to save you just now, I thought I heard it wrong, you can live it, why do you have to find death by yourself? You, you, ......?"

I listened to the chatter of eight and a half years old, looked at the surrounding environment, and suddenly I was in the shade, eight and a half years old looked at me with disgust, as soon as I raised my hand, I was put into a golden gourd, which seemed to have two green leaves, and it looked very good.

As a bystander, I followed the eight-and-a-half-year-old into a terraced house, through the wall and into a forest-like place, but there was only one tall tree in the forest, and under that tree there were two huge stone beds, and the big brother in white who had rescued me last time was lying on one of the stone beds, with a pale face and spitting blood.

I looked up at the tree, and saw that the lush branches and leaves of the tree were full of red fruits of different sizes, and there was a huge dragon coiled over the tree that seemed to be resting, and I saw a hot breath coming from its cow-like nostrils from time to time, and the reason why I said it was hot air was because I could clearly feel the heat waves coming under the tree.

"Ye Fulu, can you do me a favor?" the big brother in white seemed to be seriously injured, and said to me in a very weak voice.

"What help?" I glanced at the big brother in white, and because he had saved me, I should have 200% trust in him.

"Go outside and stay with your sister in the bed, okay? If she asks me where I am, you can say I'm fine. Do you understand?"

"Understood. I nodded, but I wouldn't go in, and I didn't know where he was talking about the outside body.

Seeing my hesitation, the big brother in white seemed to be very angry, I could feel that he hated my bad mud and couldn't support the wall, I saw him change his face and say to me: "If you don't go out to accompany your sister, I won't save you!"

Although the eldest brother spoke harshly, I noticed the smile he held back when he turned sideways after the cruel words.

I said weakly, "I want to go out, but you didn't tell me how to get out, I won't if you don't teach me." ”

An eight-and-a-half-year-old fruit behind him, who was eating the red fruit, threw it at me, shouting, "Oh my God! You're a pig's brain! I really doubt if you're me, why are you so stupid!" I saw him turn his head and say to the big brother in white, "Brother, if we don't beat him, we will have to seal his memory after saving him in a while." ”

The eight-and-a-half-year-old walked over to me with a wicked smile, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly retreated, seeing this, as a bystander, I couldn't help but want to laugh, laughing at the naughtiness of the eight-and-a-half-year-old, and laughing at my own timidity at that time.

"Eight and a half years old, don't scare him, you will bully your own ability. The big brother in white stopped the eight-and-a-half-year-old joke, pointed to the entrance of a huge vortex in the air next to him, and said, "You can go in from there, and you can go back after saving you in a while." You waste, I'll teach you a few tricks after I send you back in a while, and you will be embarrassed when you go out in the future!"

Looking at the whirlpool like a meat grinder's spiral knife, I hesitated and didn't dare to approach, the big brother in white raised his sword fingers, and said "Go", I entered the whirlpool, and I heard a very rough voice shouting behind me: "If Bingbing makes you something to eat, you eat less, don't eat a little left......"

I looked back and saw a monster next to the eight-and-a-half-year-old, the monster looked extremely terrifying, resembling a lion's body with a dragon head hanging on it, and its two cheeks each had a handful of red hair, said to be a dragon head, but its facial skin was rough, not to mention, it was full of slender and long cracks...... I didn't have good writing skills, so I couldn't help but get the word right, and anyway, I just glanced back at it at the time, and I was almost scared to pee my pants.

When I entered the bed outside in the bedroom, the beautiful sister saw that I was not a big brother in white, and she looked depressed, but she still smiled and made me something delicious.

I recalled that a few years ago, I drank too much with Xiaoyi on the first Chinese New Year's Eve in the Taoist temple, and I was shaken awake by Xiaoyi when I was eating meat at my sister's place, looking at the young me who was gobbling up the bowl, thinking that Xiaoyi was about to wake up the eight-and-a-half-year-old me who was eating meat here, right?

Sure enough, as soon as I had this thought, I had a feeling of being woken up, I thought that I had been covered up so many memories, and I didn't know where the next dream would be, who expected that as soon as I opened my eyes, Xiaoyi was holding my face and crying, as soon as I looked up, the whole family gathered around my bed and looked at me, and when I woke up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Am I awake?" I asked my family, and I asked myself.

"Brother, are you burnt out?" asked the eldest sister Ye Guihua.

"Eldest sister, how many years is today?" At this time, I was really not sure whether I was dreaming or waking up now, so I just wanted to verify it.

"Son, today is July 27, 1965, and you will be 16th birthday in two and a half months. "Dad came over and touched my forehead and said to me, his words full of helplessness.

I only felt a dry mouth, and I wanted to get up, but my chest was not an ordinary pain, as if a wound had been cracked, and the pain went deep into the bone marrow.

When I saw my father, I suddenly remembered the instructions of my big brother in white before I fainted, and I said to my father without caring about the pain: "Dad, let's move!"
