Chapter 2 Ruyi

The Wind Envoy stood on the roof fence, looking down on the city, Impermanence standing at his feet silent.

Impermanence doesn't like this wind messenger, and the arrogance and changeability of this wind envoy among the many wind envoys make him a little tired to deal with, but this is the wind envoy who often appears by his side, sometimes it is a thoughtful greeting that makes people can't distinguish between the true and the false, and sometimes it is a real sour sarcasm. Although the status of the wind envoy is not high, but the ability is very strong, once impermanence nagged a sentence "I want to see the situation when the Great Yin Dynasty built the city wall" was swept into the time and space zone by the wind envoy, thrown in the early Yin period, a full three years later before remembering to bring impermanence back, impermanence was angry and annoyed but helpless, and since then impermanence has rarely spoken in front of the wind envoy.

"I heard that the citrus aurantium was taken away." The Wind Envoy said jokingly.

Impermanence closed his eyes, and knew that the white wind must be about to say something unpleasant.

"I heard that the law of the citrus blight is said to be crushed the spirit core, before just imprisoning him in a mountain is already God's grace, the mountain is set up around the "curtain" is also to watch him closely, I didn't expect him to be so lonely, he can actually recruit you into the mountain to accompany him, once or twice, forget it, who wants you two to be so hot. Last time I took you away, just to give him some color, but I didn't expect him to know how to be restrained at all, and even let you into the mountain. Do you think you're a broom star? If it weren't for you, maybe he would be locked up for another 1,800 years and be able to regain his freedom and become a mortal, but now...... Hahaha! The Wind Envoy didn't say any more, gloating at impermanence.

The wind made the wild laughter completely ignore what he said, and every word pierced the heart of impermanence like a thorn.

"Impermanence, I pity you, I asked for a 'Ji Ruyi' from Hua Zun before, and now I give it to you, if you feel uncomfortable, you might as well find a quiet place to crush it, maybe it can give you a moment of comfort."

The Wind Envoy smirked evilly, shoved Ji Ruyi into Impermanence's hand, and left the roof like a feather and flew away.

Impermanence didn't open his eyes the whole time, but his brow became solemn with every word made by the wind.

The earth god Zhong Chi sat on a stone bench in the old temple courtyard, holding a broom that had been used for a long time. This old temple in the city is his shelter, the world has changed here for a long time no one to worship, in previous years when Gongsun Shuling was still here, the sound of chess pieces on the plate, the sound of tea and chatting are there, now only the sound of Zhong Chi alone sweeping and cleaning the courtyard is left.

Impermanence uninvited Zhong Chi came back to his senses, and before he could greet him, Zhong Chi's hand was stuffed with a thing by Impermanence - Ji Ruyi.

Without any greeting, Impermanence walked straight into the side hall, and fell headlong on the bed used for hospitality in the bell pool, not looking, listening, or talking is what Impermanence wants to do the most. His mind was now in turmoil, as if his body was entangled in thorns, and the more he struggled, the more painful it became, but he couldn't find a way to get rid of it.

He remembered that when he first stepped into the place where Citrus was imprisoned, the "curtain" of the mountain seemed to be useless to him, and the ignorant stepped into it, and when he walked around casually, he saw the surprised face of Citrus Ku. He stared at him cautiously and nervously, making his heart a little hairy, and a branch fell and smashed on his head between the embarrassment, and he squatted down with his head covered with a sigh, rubbing his head in pain, but the orange withered not far away laughed.

The second time they met, he gave Impermanence a straw grasshopper, which was also the first time Impermanence received a gift. Impermanence also wanted to bring something to him, but unfortunately where the "curtain" was, anything outside of impermanence was blocked. He didn't mind, he said he was willing to listen to impermanence tell him about things outside. This lecture is sixty years, which is exactly one year.

Sixty years is almost equal to a lifetime for a mortal, and it is just a very short time for the orange, but the joy and impermanence of the orange are really visible.

All kinds of acquaintances and acquaintances with the orange withered flew in Impermanence's mind like a marquee, impermanence wanted to reconnect everything, his head tightened for a while, and he only felt that the more he thought about it, the more sad he felt in his heart.

Impermanence has been wandering in the Six Realms for many years, and although he has spoken to many people, there is only one person who can connect with him. Now that he has "lost", and it is because of him that he is like this, even if the impermanence of his heart is very complicated, the weight of self-blame is more.

A gust of wind blew open the door of the side hall, and a burst of lotus fragrance wafted into the house leisurely. Before Impermanence could react, a figure appeared at the door of the side hall.

"Impermanence!" A light voice shouted.

Against the light, by virtue of the figure, impermanence saw the withering.

His face was full of joy, and he walked quickly to the bed, standing in front of Impermanence, accompanied by bursts of lotus fragrance.

Impermanence froze, and his heart churned so much that he couldn't speak.

"Impermanence, do you remember the rainbow you told me? Would you like to show me around? Also, you once said that there is a long lake where lotus flowers bloom very densely every summer, and wild ducks swim by from time to time, and I want to see it too. Then let's go to see the sea of clouds, shall we? Eh, you see I want you to take me to so many places, you're going to bother me, right? Citrus smiled apologetically.

"No, ah......" impermanence choked.

The eyes of the dead man, who had been replied to impermanence, were watery, but his smile was brighter than when he entered the door, and he looked at impermanence and stopped talking.

After a while, the lotus fragrance turned from strong to light, and the orange withered disappeared with the aroma.

Impermanence got up and ran out of the side hall suddenly, the sun was shining outside, the courtyard was still quiet, and there was no trace of anyone coming. It's just that Zhong Chi fell by the wall, unconscious.

In the evening, Zhong Chi woke up in the side hall and sat beside him.

"I saw him......", this was the first thing Zhong Chi said when he woke up.

Impermanence nodded, Zhong Chi saw who he felt yin in his heart, just like he had just seen the orange withered.

After a sigh, Zhong Chi took the quilt beside him and covered his face, his body trembling slightly with a whining cry.

Impermanence patted Zhong Chi soothingly, told him to take care, and told him that he was leaving. When he turned to go out, Impermanence heard Zhong Chi's voice say hoarsely:

"You still have a chance, maybe he's waiting for you......"
