He clenched his fists for a long time and was about to rush up to tell his mother, but he bumped into the little boy, only to see him smile gently, put the mulberry fruit in front of him, and said with a pleasant face: "Take it and eat it." ”

This is his favorite fruit, and every time he goes up the mountain to chop wood, he will pick a small box and bring it to him.

Looking at the bunches of plump and fat fruits in his hand, he hesitated.

Later, my mother gave birth.

It's a big fat boy who is white and chubby.

The little boy who had been helping their family was gone, and his mother said that when his younger brother was born, their family could not support so many people, so he left.

For some reason, Zhang Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief.

With the birth of his younger brother, the eyes of the whole family are focused on him. At the same time, the Zhang family seemed to be protected by the Buddha's light, and their lives were thriving.

My father and mother said that it was the blessing brought by my younger brother Zhang Yuanqing.

Only he knew that it was a spirit, and his own brother had long since died.

No matter what, as long as he doesn't hurt his family, he won't talk about it.

Zhang Yuanji did not compete with Zhang Yuanqing for favor, and usually took care of him in every way.

In this way, he lived peacefully until he was nine years old.

Later, Zhang Yuanqing's body deteriorated, and the luck of the Zhang family suddenly became dim somehow, as if a layer of haze hung over their heads.

His father's official position was not smooth, and his mother was also restless at home, and he was also ostracized by his colleagues.

All the bad luck seems to have started when Zhang Yuanqing became ill.

After that, his younger brother Zhang Yuanqing proposed to go out to recuperate, and he and his mother agreed.

It wasn't until later that the world changed greatly, the dynasty changed to a new king, his father was reused, and even he was summoned by the new emperor.

And his younger brother Zhang Yuanqing, his body is inexplicably better. Seeing Zhang Yuanqing's cheeks gradually reddening, Zhang Yuanji knew that there must be other masters to help.

Zhang Yuanji didn't ask, nor did he inquire, he just hoped that this younger brother would live well.

Because he knows that the luck of their family is closely related to him.

Only when he is healthy and alive will he and his father rise to the top.

This time, Zhang Yuanqing was asked to go to Beijing with him, but he was also afraid of sudden changes, ostensibly praying to the Buddha for blessings, but in fact, he tied him to his side, so that all this would not change.

However, what I didn't expect was that the time to come still came.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Looking at this dying face, Zhang Yuanji couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes.

He didn't know why he was the way he was now.

At the beginning, I just thought that everything would be good if the family was happy, and I blamed them for being too greedy.

He grabbed Zhang Yuanqing's hand, his body trembled, and his mouth kept muttering: "I'm sorry......"

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing was so weak that he couldn't say a word, his breath was visibly silent with the naked eye, to say that he was a patient who had been ill for a long time before, but now he was like a dead wood, and there was no room for rejuvenation.

"You're not wrong." His face was gloomy and frightening, and he turned to look at Zhang Yuanji with all his might, and said in a staccato voice: "It's that I shouldn't interfere with the reincarnation of cause and effect, and the retribution I suffer now is what I deserve." I also asked my brother to go back and tell my father and mother, thank them for their nurturing grace over the years, and when I die, please cremate my bones and scatter my ashes into the sea. ”

"This is my last wish, I hope my brother will not reject me."

Zhang Yuanji opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but saw Zhang Yuanqing's pupils dilated, his head tilted, and he closed his eyes suddenly.

"Yuan Qing ...... Yuanqing! ”

There was only Zhang Yuanji's heart-wrenching cry in the room.

Finally the group left the house, leaving him alone.

Such an ending was unexpected, he didn't expect a little Zhang Yuanqing to be involved in so many things.

Seeing that this matter had come to an end, the three of them stood outside the house and looked at each other, Zhao Yuanling looked at the armadillo with red eyes, and couldn't help but lower his head a little ashamedly when he remembered what he said before.

She was the first to speak up, and said with a sincere face: "I'm sorry, I said angry things before, and I was indeed too selfish." ”

It's not just her but the Terrans, they're all too selfish.

When they have not been exposed to these life and death, love and hatred, they just stand tall from the perspective of bystanders, and once thought that monsters that endanger the interests and safety of the human race should not exist.

Even if there is a demon who knows right from wrong.

But now, seeing Zhang Yuanqing's righteousness, seeing Dong Ying's love, and seeing people who are blinded for the sake of interests and go against humanity by unscrupulous means. Only then did she realize that her previous ideas were too superficial.

The love between demons is not shallower than that of the human race, and the sinister nature of the human heart is no worse than that of the demon race.

The armadillo looked a little twisted the moment he saw Zhao Yuanling, as if he hadn't met a good friend after a quarrel, and he didn't know how to speak.

Hearing Zhao Yuanling lower his head and apologize first, the armadillo looked a little surprised, and he was also relieved.

"I'm at fault, too."

Whether it is a human or a demon, it is impossible for them to remain absolutely sober and neutral when they stand on their own stand, it is she who thinks all this too simply.

There's more to the world than just black and white, there's more to it than they can't see.

The atmosphere between the two began to ease, and they looked at each other with a relieved smile.

"By the way, Mo Bai, did you see anything you saw when you asked Zhang Gongzi about that black-robed Taoist before?" Zhao Yuanling knew that Mo Bai would not ask for no reason, and once he asked, he must have noticed clues.

Mo Bai took a step forward and looked up at the sun-drenched sky.

Near the coast, there is a group of fishermen and officers and soldiers the size of ants.

Everything around them seemed to be in ruins, but it didn't look like it was decadent, as if everything was thriving.

He said in a deep voice: "The Dragon King Festival was founded ten years ago, and Zhang Yuanqing only began to become the Zhang family ten years ago, and a Taoist priest appeared here, I wonder if they are the same person." ”

Zhao Yuanling and the armadillo's expressions sank, and when they heard him say this, it was a little strange, which made people suspicious.

The little monks who came to pass by here, heard them say the word Taoist, and thought they were looking for someone.

So he stepped forward and said, "Amitabha, if the donors want to find a Taoist priest, they are too late. ”

"A Taoist priest is coming? Are you wearing a black robe? ”

Knowing that they were looking for him, the little monk's eyes lit up, "Yes, there has been a kraken in Linglong Ruins recently, and we advised him to leave here as soon as possible, but he still stayed, and he was babbling about what was useless, and the waste ......"

At that time, the little monk was sweeping the courtyard, and when he heard the curse, he thought he was talking about him, so he looked back a few more times.

Knowing that he was just talking to himself in the sea, he just shook his head and never listened again.

Zhao Yuanling and Mo Bai glanced at each other, and then she asked, "Does the little master know where he went?" ”

The little monk scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "I don't know about this, but I heard that he came from the imperial city." ”

It is really strange to say that the nobles of the imperial city came to this poor and remote place one after another.

Could it be that their Muzu Temple is famous?

So Zhao Yuanling decided to ask Ximen Zhong.

At this time, Ximen Zhong was following his father, the city lord of Lianyun City, to deploy the affairs of the inner city.

This matter not only involved the people, but more importantly, it also involved the imperial city.

He was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and finally took a sip of tea when he met Zhao Yuanling, who came over.

He sighed, with a look of fatigue in his tone, "Now that the new emperor has decreed, demons and humans are treated equally, so this is not what the human race did in advance, they have suffered countless deaths and injuries in retaliation, but there is no way to pursue it, so we can only appease these people first and move them to a safe place." ”

Hearing such a holy decree, Zhao Yuanling couldn't help but fall silent.

She lowered her eyes, not as angry as she expected, when King Zhao was in power, he regarded the demon clan as a great enemy, and the Chinese military officials were also very resentful of them.

Now it is said that everyone should be treated equally......

Zhao Yuanling lowered his eyes and slowly straightened his thoughts.

It sounded incredible, but she knew that if it did, it wouldn't be so easy.

Although this represents the attitude of the officials, it only means that they will no longer take the initiative to draw their swords against each other on the surface.

After a while, her face was as pale as before, and her voice was cold, "Have you seen a black-robed Taoist priest appear here?" ”

Ximen Zhong was surprised, "How do you know?" ”

When they went to the sea, he sent his men back to bring in the rescuers, so he took refuge in the temple alone.

happened to meet a Taoist priest from out of town.

"I also talked to him, he said that he was from the imperial city, and he knew that my father was the lord of the city and talked to me enthusiastically."

Seeing this, the armadillo hurriedly came out and asked, "Then do you know who he is?" ”

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth again and couldn't help but say, "Let me know who he is, I have to skin him and cramp his muscles!" ”

This skinning cramp sounded terrible, and Ximen Zhong couldn't help but think of the mistreated shark before. He shivered, and the fat on his body trembled.

"I don't know......" Then he seemed to remember something.

"By the way, I saw the token on him, it seems that it is from the Criminal Department, I was still wondering at the time, why the Criminal Department is still wearing like a Taoist, mysterious and secret......"

Penal Department......

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanling couldn't help but think of Zhou Li, the servant of the Criminal Department.

He was his father's most favored courtier, and it was he who forced him to jump off the wall.

It seems that the Imperial City is going to be a must.

At night, a bunch of tents were stationed on the shore, where the soldiers who came to provide relief lived.

The torches were connected to a long red dragon, and the moonlight reflected on the water, as if it had covered the surface with a layer of glittering broken silver.

The fishermen and officers and soldiers are resting, and because of Ximen Zhong, Zhao Yuanling also lives in a better house.

They were in a room with a soft brocade quilt and better furnishings than in the temple.
