Chapter 19: The Night of the Wind and the Tide (8)

With a little banter, the voice seemed to have an inexplicable magic power that overwhelmed the sound of the surging waves of the sea of blood, which sounded clearly in Xu Anchuan's ears.

In the lonely world, finally waiting for a light, like a dusk lighthouse guiding the boat that lost its voyage in the fog of the night sea, Xu Anchuan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the place where the sound started.

"Hello, I'm Qi Tu, and Penglai is in charge."

"Please take care of us when we meet for the first time."

In the churning sea of blood, a small black wooden boat undulated with the waves, and a handsome young man dressed in an inappropriate snow-white shirt sat casually on a small wooden bench in the middle of the boat. The two butter candles on the left and right sides of the boat were burning quietly, and the swaying warm candlelight illuminated the young man's face with a shallow smile, like a spring breeze, warm to his relatives.

Xu Anchuan was surprised, lost his voice for a while, and the dancing goose yellow candle flame was reflected in his clear eyes.

The candlelight flickered, and the waves of the sea of blood gradually subsided. The ebony boat drifted slowly, and the distance between the two narrowed little by little.

His right eye was hot, Xu Anchuan smiled and looked at the boat boy who was reaching out like an angel, his left hand was raised to Xu Fang, and his right hand was stretched out to him through the protective air membrane.

"Hello, my name is Xu Anchuan!"

The distance of the world is only the distance from the right hand to the right hand, and Xu Anchuan feels the redemption of hope with the texture of his palm.

The two hands got closer and closer, and the sea of blood that was surging in the tide was completely calm at the moment, and the water was not happy.

Qi Tu suddenly withdrew his hand, patted his shoulder lightly, and said with a smile.

"Hey, Xiao Xu."

"Need help? Small business, Tong Su is not bullied. ”

Hoping that the turning point was just around the corner, Xu Anchuan's heart suddenly emptied, and his mind was a little trance. Looking at the gloomy boy in front of him who suddenly laughed, he somehow remembered the fat owner of the small shop who often cheated on his pocket money to win prizes in his childhood. Every time he pulls himself to look at the new prize, he laughs so happily.

The smiling faces of the two gradually overlapped, and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, Xu Anchuan withdrew his hand awkwardly and said in a sneer.

"Boss, oh phew! Brother Qi Tu, who are you? ”

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Teenagers in distress, the premise of providing help is that there is enough value and a good reputation. You're right, Xiao Xu. ”

Out of nowhere, Qi Tu shook the fan and smiled.

"Brother Tu, I don't know what price you need?"

Looking at the four splashed ink characters on the white paper fan that were clearly swaying, Xu Anchuan smiled and spoke.

"Don't call me Brother Tu, it's a good title for boss."

"The price."

"You add him, a total of two lives, well, it's better for you to make a price."

Qi Tu looked at Xu Anchuan with a smile, and his handsome face carried the market spirit of a street vendor.

"We just want to get on a boat."

Looking at the clean eyes that were like the sunny boy next door, for some reason, Xu Anchuan always felt a slight chill behind him, as if there was a danger of ill intentions.

"Are you just on the boat, simple boy, do you know where you are now?"

"Some cave? Underground caves? ”

Looking at the endless sea of blood around him, looking up at the dark sky above his head except for a shallow phosphorescent "Milky Way", shaking his head and throwing out a terrifying conjecture in his mind, Xu Anchuan hesitated and spoke.

"Hey. Underground caves? ”

"I think you already have the answer in your heart."

Qi Tu shook his fan and looked at Xu Anchuan playfully.

Looking at Qi Tu's strange eyes under the candlelight, the terrifying conjecture in Xu Anchuan's mind spread little by little, and his slightly moist and dry lips were tentatively spoken.

"Could it be the monster's stomach?"

"Clever! To be precise, it's the stomach of a karmic moth. ”

Slowly getting up, stretching his sedentary body, in the flickering candle flame, Qi Tu said casually.

"Goodong~"

Swallowing a large gulp of saliva unconsciously, breathing in the bloody and filthy thin air, Xu Anchuan finally understood the current situation.

The churning sea of blood is the digested gastric juice, the dark sky is the huge stomach wall, and the huge feathered land that has disappeared under him is the Promethean Eagle that has been hunted by the karma moth! I don't know when I and Xu Fang were also devoured by the demon moth!

Fortunately, it was not chewed and swallowed slowly, otherwise I am afraid that there would have been no bones left at this moment!

No, it's not! If this is the stomach of the karmic moth, then doesn't this endless space mean that the karmic moth has grown into an unimaginably huge existence, and what is the matter with this sudden Qi Tu, which is also the prey devoured by the karmic moth?

seemed to see Xu Anchuan's puzzlement, and without waiting for him to ask, Qi Tu spoke slowly and unhurriedly.

"The karma moth inherited the power of the Xiang Xiang and obtained the blood food of the blood sacrifice, and her body spontaneously formed an independent small space, which stored the Yin black blood left over from the blood sacrifice and the captured blood food reserves."

"Unfortunately, you are all reserves of karma. And I'm just a pawnshop shopkeeper passing by to collect debts. ”

"Well, when it comes to debt collection, I think of one thing."

Qi Tu put away the folding fan in his hand, and unhurriedly took out a white note from his jeans pocket. Looking at the blank paper bill that looked like a supermarket receipt, Xu Anchuan's right eyelid jumped, and an ominous premonition swept through his body.

Like being suddenly called by a teacher to stand in the corner of the office to inform the children waiting for their parents, Xu Anchuan held Xu Fang horizontally with both hands, floating uneasily in the sea of blood.

"Let me see."

"At 23:42 on May 16, 2017, passing through Turlington, two people were rescued in the mountains. One person is physically mutilated, one is soulless, and after treatment, it is known that the two of them are the night watchmen of the Huaxia Night Patrol Division, and they died in battle to save Xu Anchuan, a Chinese citizen who was coerced by monsters to cross the border. ”

"At 23:44 on May 16, 2017, passing through Turlington, three more people were rescued from among the branches of ancient trees, and they were in the same group and mission as the first two, and unfortunately they were seriously injured and dying in order to save Xu Anchuan."

"Two plus three, a total of five lives. Xiao Xu, what do you think? ”

With a warm smile like a spring breeze, Qi Tu waved his hand, the wrapped air film was broken, Xu Anchuan and Xu Fang were held by an invisible big hand, shook it off, and then scooped it up from the sea of blood and threw it onto the small wooden boat.

"Uh."

Xu Anchuan's mouth was dry, and his uneasy premonition came true.

"Oh, people are getting old, their memories are a little unclear, they almost forgot, and these things."

Qi Tu smiled lightly, and took out a string of yellowed and endless old "bills" from his pocket.

"At 23:46 on September 14, 1973, Xu Changsheng bought Juyin wood in Penglaidang, kept accounts for a hundred years, and returned from nine out of thirteen, and agreed that the principal and interest of the descendants of the Xu family would be repaid together."

"At 23:12 on November 17, 1892, Xu Minghan temporarily borrowed the jade keel in Penglai, agreed to return it on nine days, but failed to return it within the time limit, and said that it would be repaid by the descendants of the Xu family."

"Year 1846"

"Stop! Boss, I got it! ”

It seemed that a cold wind was blowing, Xu Anchuan was cold, listening to the familiar names, and looking at the bright red fingerprint signatures that Qi Tu showed him, his head was buzzing.

Xu Changsheng knew that it was his grandfather. Xu Minghan still has a little memory, it was the great-grandfather who his grandfather mentioned to him. Feelings, this is the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the old Xu family who owe the dead debt in front of him?

Listening to the long bills left for the "descendants of the Xu family to repay" one by one, and hearing about this obviously tall debt item, Xu Anchuan only felt dizzy.

Wait a minute! No, how can this old boy have so many debts at my age? Well, is this also some kind of old immortal monster? How could this ancestor of the Xu family have dealings with such a character? Isn't it a peaceful real world, how can it be entangled with this strange world?

Xu Anchuan's mind was full of confusion, and for a while, his cognition of the real world was determined and ordinary, and he didn't seem to be firm.

Isn't this some kind of transfiguration monster that is here to disturb my mind? That's right! There are flaws!

Doesn't this thing say that Penglai should be a penny of price and a penny, and the price can be afforded, and there is no credit for a small business? So how can there be a debt of debt? Yes, yes! A fantasy, this must be the monster sent to disturb my mind!

Xu Anchuan's right eye is hot, his heart is pounding, his blood is rushing, and the butterfly tattoo on his heart is faintly revealed.

He stared at the white-shirted young man who was smiling at him, trying to see through the trick of the trick.

"Hey, Xiao Xu."

Qi Tu slowly put away the bill, patted the leg of his jeans, took out the folding fan and gently patted it on the shoulder of Xu Anchuan, who was standing upright at him, not smiling, and his eyes were round.

The power of the paper fan seems to be light and floating, but it is embedded in Xu Anchuan's body with the weight of ten thousand jun, and the moment the paper fan falls on the shoulder, it brings Xu Anchuan a strange tingling sensation that quickly sweeps through the whole body, like thousands of dogs' tails and grass scratching on the skin of the body at the same time.

Xu Anchuan broke the gong in a second, and he couldn't suppress a strange laugh.

"Hey, hey, boss, boss, I wonder if I can also make an IOU?"

Facing Qi Tu, whose strength is mysterious and unpredictable, Xu Anchuan, who thinks that he is still a semi-ordinary person, has only one way to temporarily make a mistake.

"What do you say?"

Qi Tu smiled and removed the paper fan, shaking it casually.

"Yes, right. No, it can't! I, Xu Anchuan, am a well-known honest and reliable honest person, who has a penny to do one thing, and will never be super spending, and will not have debts that will not be repaid! ”

Xu Anchuan secretly paid attention to Qi Tu, cautiously tried to speak, and when he found that Qi Tu's eyes were slightly narrowed and the strength of the fan in his hand was increasing, he decisively chose to change his words, and continued to speak solemnly without changing his face.

"Okay, I didn't expect the rotten Xu family to finally come up with a righteous gentleman."

"Xiao Xu, you are very good."

"I'm optimistic about you!"

Qi Tu smiled and looked Xu Anchuan up and down as if relieved.

"Of course, of course."

Xu Anchuan was a little relieved.

"I don't know what the boss is all about, what the price I need is here."

"Don't worry, there are priorities, Xiao Xu, don't you think about how to escape the moth belly now?"

"What does the boss mean?"

"Two lives, I'll take you and this kid out completely and in good health."

"Is there any bargaining?"

"You get what you pay for, what do you think? Actually, I don't mind taking half of you out. ”

The candle flame is flickering, and the goose yellow candlelight can't warm the bitter and humble heart, in the dark world, looking at the endless sea of blood around him, Xu Anchuan still smiled bitterly and chose to nod after all.

On the small wooden boat, Xu Anchuan helped Xu Fang, who was like a dead corpse, and the three of them sat quietly on the small wooden bench, drifting aimlessly with the boat.

"We're leaving, or we're going to say goodbye."

"Don't you say goodbye, Xiaoxu?"

After being silent for a long time, Qi Tu slowly spoke, and his calm tone was inexplicably complicated.

Xu Anchuan silently closed his eyes, feeling the filthy and bloody thin air lingering around him, and in his ears was the ripple sound of the boat breaking through the sea of blood, and the dark world of the water waves seemed to be dead and silent at this moment.

"No, I don't think I'll ever remember it again in my life."

Trying to suppress his voice, Xu Anchuan spoke calmly.

"Loneliness is a nasty thing, everyone's life, there are some bad things that are hated, there is the hardest part, I left here, escaped the dark death and loneliness. There are many memories of the thorns of this dark world, and there is no way to escape the despair and loneliness. ”

"Everything here is as illusory as a dream, and I just want to bury the memories of this place with a sleep."

"The past is the same as the sunshine, it is better to be warm and beautiful, the brighter the past, the more people have the courage and heritage to chase the wind, as for the bad shadow, we still have to let go of it and forget it."

"I still have a longer way to go, and even I can't see the direction of the future clearly, but it doesn't matter, just keep moving forward, it's better to keep some good memories, at least I can have the motivation to keep moving forward when I remember."

"Okay."

Without any more words, Qi Tu just glanced up at the shallow phosphorescent "Milky Way" that seemed to float with him, and immediately smiled, but opened his mouth silently.

"Goodbye, Xu He."

When the light is extinguished, the shallow "Milky Way" where the silver-white phosphorescence converges is also slowly annihilated, the world is dark and dead again, and the sea of blood turns up stormy waves......

Above the valley, the boundless ocean poured down the tide with the momentum of the sky.

The eyes of the karma moth demon were blood-red, and the slender mouthparts with a sharp sound shot out. Falling into the ocean and gradually sinking, Shizoichiro Abe tightly wrapped Shikigami Yatsumata, whose origin collapsed and life and death were unknown. The only remaining eye was filled with despair and remorse, and in the dark eyes, it seemed that only the karmic moth mouthparts that were about to penetrate life were left!

"Amitabha~"

The Sanskrit sound fills the sky, and the monks chant the Buddha's name.

appeared in an instant, the robe bag on his chest opened slightly, and the Abe Koichiro, who was still on the line of life and death in the ocean above the sky, turned into a streamer and put it into the bag.

"Abe-kun, let's have a good rest here with Ryoma-kun."

"Amitabha~"

The monk's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice.

Close the robe bag and step out, the garcinia yellow cardigan swaying in the wind.

Above the sky, the eyes of the karma moth demon narrowed slightly, and the slender mouthparts retreated into her mouth, she quietly looked at the uninvited guest in front of her in an instant, and her keen five senses warned her that this person was dangerous. Trying to suppress the madness and tyranny in his heart, one person and one moth quietly confronted the sky.

The long night will brighten, and the red moon will gradually set. The wind howled, the tide poured into the sky, the mountains collapsed, and the ocean became a sea.

"Amitabha."

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground."

"You are willing to enter my Buddha Gate to wash away the blood and sin and protect the incense."
