It has been half a month since they came out of Ji'an Temple, Yi Seventeen has no plans for the next step at present, but it is impossible to live permanently if he wants to, Shifangke has already known their whereabouts, and after dealing with Zhou Yanwen, the two will leave this place.

"We'll leave in a few days, so let's not do long-term rental, the rent is still settled on a daily basis, let's rent it for another week, Aunt Mei, calculate how much it is, I'll transfer it to you."

"Are you leaving? Hey, Auntie is reluctant to giggle away, accommodation is 100 a day, plus dinner is 50 a day, Auntie is a good 1,000? ”

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Yi 17 took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and while scanning the code to pay, he asked, "By the way, Aunt Mei, where did you buy Naga Lanxiang?" My friend thought it smelled good, and I was going to buy more for him. ”

"WeChat arrived, 1,000 yuan." Aunt Mei glanced at the arrival information, and after confirming that it was correct, she replied, "Jialanxiang?" It's quite far from here, Ruifeng incense candle shop, Confucian Temple Road? ”

Yi 17 checked, and the Confucian Temple Road that Aunt Mei said is in Huangpu District, and it is indeed some distance from here.

"Oh, thank you, Auntie, I got it."

They are now in Songjiang District, in the west of the city, and Huangpu District is in the east of the city, separated by Minhang District and Xuhui District.

Yi Seventeen was planning the route in his mind, turned around and walked towards the stairs, and just two steps away, the wind chimes on the door of the store suddenly rang.

A girl blocked the door with her suitcase, and while collecting her umbrella, she didn't forget to complain: "What the hell, what the hell is this weather?" It made my clothes wet. Hostess, is there still a room? ”

Hearing the girl's northern accent, Yi Seventeen turned around curiously and looked over.

The girl was wearing shorts, her two long legs were white and thin, with pink Peppa Pig printed on her white half-sleeves, a waist-length denim jacket on the outside, muddy water on her white shoes, and mud stains on her white legs.

The girl wears a black baseball cap, long purple hair shawl, light makeup, and her facial features are very delicate, especially the nose, which looks like a girl from an anime.

"Handsome guy, can you help me with my luggage? The stairs were too high for me to lift. ”

The girl checked in at the counter while turning her head to ask for help from Yi Seventeen.

Since the other party had spoken, Yi Seventeen was embarrassed to refuse, nodded, walked over and grabbed the lever of the suitcase.

"Chen Yuluo? The little girl's name is quite nice, how many days do you want to stay? Aunt Mei asked.

"Let's open for a week." Chen Yuluo took the ID card from Aunt Mei's hand, turned to look at Yi Seventeen and said, "Little brother, what's your name?" Let's add a friend. ”

"When you meet in Pingshui, you can add friends without it, and I'll help you put your luggage at the staircase on the second floor." Yi 17 directly pulled the suitcase upstairs, and when he went upstairs, he found that this suitcase was extremely heavy, and he didn't know what was inside.

was rejected by Yi Seventeen, Chen Yuluo pursed his lips and was a little lost.

"Huh, it's your first time here?"

"Well, I came here to meet netizens, but I was released pigeons, I originally wanted to stop by to walk around, but I caught up with the heavy rain, and I was really unlucky."

Aunt Mei took a bunch of keys from the display board behind her, handed them to Chen Yuluo and said: "The traffic rules are beautiful, you have to be careful of Waning when you go out, the deposit is more than 1,000 refunds and less compensation, there is a hair dryer in the house, blow dry, don't catch a cold and fever." ”

"Thank you, Auntie, by the way, do you know what that little brother's name is?"

Aunt Mei glanced at the staircase, shook her head and said, "Well, I don't know how to be just (I don't know). ”

You have to use your ID card to check in, how could Aunt Mei not know what Yi Seventeen is called, but she just doesn't want to tell Chen Yuluo.

Yi Seventeen put the suitcase at the staircase on the second floor and went back to the room directly, Yang Ning smirked at her when Chen Yuluo went upstairs, she glanced at her, jumped over Yang Ning and went upstairs directly, as soon as she went upstairs, she smelled the fragrance of Jialan, she covered her nose with a look of disgust.

"What kind of smell, it's not a temple, it's not a year's worth of incense!"

……

The sky finally cleared, and the old Shanghai after the rain had its own unique charm, and the buildings with a sense of age were washed by the rain, as if they had faded from the filter of retro film and became bright and bright.

The lanterns on the side of the road have also become new, and even the trams that shuttle through the streets are more vibrant, and when you are in it, you can feel as if you have really returned to that era, with the bell of the tram in your ears, the incomprehensible but inexplicably friendly Shanghai dialect, and the mouth-watering aroma of rice when passing by a local restaurant.

Coming out of the plum restaurant, the two involuntarily slowed down, strolling through the ordinary and noisy streets, the retro buildings are telling the history of this place to every newcomer, and the fashion display cabinet mixed in it is showing the current prosperity and trend.

In the crowd, you can occasionally see women in cheongsams and men in suits and leather shoes, maybe life is their show, and they are also one of the symbols here.

No one can refuse to slow down in the busy, enjoy this short but pleasant good time, and add an unforgettable memory to their boring life.

Life is not easy, love, fame, fortune, power make people sad and joyful and difficult to self-control, for this reason, some people are tired of running, some people are not tired of it, some people are immersed in it and can't extricate themselves, some people regret the rest of their lives, living, this is a practice, it seems that there are always "great achievers" preaching, subtly telling everyone that only cultivation can get "positive results", but ignoring the ordinary is true.

In a building at the entrance of the subway station, a boy in his youth jumped off the building, and people were talking about the cause of the boy's death.

A middle-aged man puffed on a cigarette and said that he jumped off the building because he owed a huge amount of money and couldn't pay it off.

A young girl said that it was because of the breakdown of her relationship and the emotional injury was too serious, so she committed suicide by jumping off a building.

A white-collar worker said that it was because of too much work pressure and too difficult intrigue in the workplace, and he committed suicide due to depression.

A young man said that he jumped off the building because he couldn't afford to buy a house, couldn't afford to get married, and was forced by his family to do so.

An old man said that it was because his psychological tolerance was too weak, he had not experienced ups and downs, and he committed suicide irresponsibly when he encountered a little difficulty.

People gradually turned from pity at the beginning to criticism, as if they found their own shadow in it, and people may not care about the death of this person, but how difficult it is for this person to live.

"It is not too early for a person to live, and the grass and trees wither and flourish in autumn. The living will never know the suffering of the deceased, and the dead will always miss the sweetness of life. Ten years, 100 years, 17 years, what do you think humanity is? ”

In the subway car, Yi 17 stood in front of Li Qianchen, although there were many strange eyes staring at them, Yi 17 still insisted on letting Li Qianchen sit, and he used his arm to protect Li Qianchen in it.

"It's hard to make it clear, humanity is fundamentally human, and the root of human beings is to live, but it's the most difficult thing to say clearly about 'living', some people live for the spiritual world, some people live for the material world, and what they do is their way, but I think more people live for 'living', and it's easy to crush a person, but it's also very difficult."

"Because it is difficult to live, it is humane, success, failure, wealth, poverty, health, sickness, happiness, pain, I have heard such a sentence in the underworld: there are nineteen hells, and eighteen hells are not. Humanity refers to the living, and the way of the living is to live. ”

Looking at all kinds of people in the carriage, some people are neatly dressed and indulged in a fantasy world, some people are lonely and numb, some people are holding the handrails and swaying left and right with a tired face, some people are snuggling up to each other and smiling, some people are wearing suits and leather shoes but can only take the subway, and some people are sitting on the subway but talking about millions of business.

Death is belonging, and I don't know when it turns into an escapist option.

The young woman on the opposite side looked no more than twenty-five years old, but it was the mother of a five-year-old boy, the woman was wearing headphones, and was deeply attracted by the short video on her mobile phone, the little boy had been staring at Li Qianchen since he came up, his eyes were full of curiosity, as if he was wondering, why did this uncle have long hair.

Halfway through Yi Seventeen also finally sat down, sitting next to Li Qianchen, after he sat down, he also found this cute boy carved jade, his mother is very good at matching, the clothes bought for him fit very well, and even a little bit of a princess.

Yi Seventeen lowered his voice and said in Li Qianchen's ear: "Is the child on the other side looking at you?" Could it be that you are wondering if you are an older brother or a younger sister. ”

"It's Grandpa." Li Qianchen corrected, causing Yi Seventeen to laugh out loud, Li Qianchen smiled, and said, "It's a pity that he will soon have no mother." ”

Yi Seventeen's laughter stopped abruptly, "How come? ”

"That woman has a dead breath in her body, and she is not long dead."

Yi Seventeen didn't know physiognomy, but he secretly opened his eyes and found that the woman was surrounded by gray dead energy, especially in her heavenly spirit, where a black yin qi covered her heavenly court, which was exactly what the physiognomy often said that the Yin Tang was black.

"She looks about the same age as me, how can she run out of life so early?"

At first, Yi Qiqi suspected that the woman was haunted by evil, but when he opened the Dharma Eye, he did not find the evil qi, the woman's yang qi was weakened, and the yin qi was dignified, which was clearly a sign of the end of life.

Li Qianchen did not answer Yi Seventeen's doubts, the woman may not have died early, and the reason why she is about to die is mostly related to the mobile phone in her hand.

The woman is addicted to the false world in the mobile phone, seeing that there are red blood in her eyeballs, it should be a lack of sleep and often stay up late, if it is just staying up late, it is not so, Li Qianchen speculated, maybe it is "night shadow".

Yi Seventeen didn't know that in the Heavenly Hundred Demons, there was a demon named Night Shadow who was also the god of darkness, and it had one thing in common with Nightmare Relief, both between the illusory and the real.

The night shadow feeds on the thoughts of the living, and every midnight, if there is a yang person who consumes his thoughts and loses his thoughts, the night shadow will secretly suck them, and the yang people's thoughts are the souls of people, and the loss of divine thoughts is also the consumption of soul power.

"Mortals have a fate in life and death, which is why every cultivator spends his whole life pursuing the method of transcendence, even if he crosses the underworld, he is not really immortal, Sanqing asked, the sun is soaring, and there is almost the slightest possibility of falling, so since he is alive, he must work hard to live."

Li Qianchen deliberately diverted the topic, unwilling to confide in the night shadow, the reason was that he still didn't want to provoke right and wrong, the enemy is current, more things are better than less, Yi Seventeen is already hard enough with him as a burden, why should he add trouble to Yi Seventeen.

However, Yi Seventeen was silent, he didn't know what Li Qianchen was hiding, he just felt that he couldn't do anything, not only the helplessness of witnessing the woman's death, but also the feeling of ignorance of cultivation, he entered the Ten Directions Guest was secretly guided by an old drunkard, and he entered the Qi Realm because Li Qianchen helped him enlighten his spirit, and then all kinds of things were forced to do it, whether it was to do the task of exorcising evil spirits, or to escape from the Ten Directions.

What was it that drove him to do it?
