The next day, the sun was shining brightly. In the clear sky, hundreds of birds hovered and chanted.

It's not the first time that Yuan Xi has received a pastry from Asahi and Xinyi. From the first day he lived in the Changming Palace, these sweets were indispensable in the three meals he delivered.

As a child, he loved sweets. But after my mother died, no one bought me sugar gourds to make snacks to eat. Later, whenever I felt that I couldn't live anymore, I always put a piece of sugar in my mouth, as if this way, it was not so bitter.

Chaosheng sent someone to send these, perhaps because she knew about it before with the art of contemplating the mind. To her, it may be a casual command, but to him it is extremely warm and satisfying.

Yuan Xi can't talk about liking such a life, at least he can't hate it, and he even has indescribable feelings for her.

......

Asahi fiddles with some gadgets in the yard. Those were all brought back to her from the mortal world by Zhaoyun, there were rattles for children to play with, sugar figures, some masks, wood carvings, sword spikes, and so on.

Chaosheng looked at it, there was not much excitement in his eyes, at most it was just novelty. To her, these things were just things to pass the time. But it's a rare thing to be able to keep her staring at something for a long time.

Zhaoyun has lived for so long, but the more he lives, the more he lives, the more like a child, he brings back some childish things. Chaosheng thought so.

So she still likes these childish things.

She wore a blue dress today, with a moon-white coat, which was very elegant and quiet.

She always liked to wear these wide robes and coats, and the long skirts dragged the floor. I don't like curled hair, my hair is always loose, but it's very beautiful, and it makes people feel restricted.

Obviously a calm and elegant person who doesn't like to laugh, when he looks at those gadgets, he actually has eyes that feel new like a child. The curious and smart eyes added a bit of freshness and vitality to the beautiful and refined life of Chao.

Yuan Xi saw such a little girl who looked like an adult. Maybe...... Is it more appropriate to be an adult like a little girl?

Yuan Xi put aside all the nonsense in his mind and walked over to her.

Yuan Xi took the initiative to come to her, Chao Sheng was a little surprised, her clean and clear eyes looked at him for a moment, and after a long time, she handed the sugar man in her hand to Yuan Yu.

Sugar Man is a foal, somewhat imposing, but more adorable.

She knew he loved sweets.

Yuan Xi looked at the sugar man handed over to Chaosheng, and for a while he didn't know whether to reach out and take it. He was about to say something that upset her, but she was like this, which made him a little unbearable.

Yuan Xi put aside the thoughts in her mind, she is the master of the Changming Palace, and she has so many people's lives in her hands, what is there to sympathize with!

"Eating too much sugar is not good for your teeth," Yuan Yu bluntly refused.

Chao Sheng understood and put the sugar man aside.

"Chaosheng, I have something. ”

Chaosheng nodded, if it was okay, he would not come to him.

"What do you have to do to get me out of here?"

Hearing this, Chao Sheng stopped his movements, but his expression did not change much.

"Leaving here, are you going back to the mortal world?"

"Yes. ”

"Why, can't you let go of those things in the past?"

"Yes. ”

"It's been six or seven years in the mortal world, but you haven't asked about the mortal world for so long. ”

"I don't want to know anything about that person. ”

"And what can't you put down?"

Yuan Xi can't say.

"I remember, there is a woman in the mortal world who loves you, but you are concerned about her?"

Chao Sheng said this, his tone did not change by the halfest, and she didn't care who was in his heart.

Yuan Xi recalled that there was indeed such a person. She is a noble lady, but she likes to pester him and makes no secret of her admiration for him. But in the end, her feelings are just a selfish possessiveness in the end, maybe she has never given her sincerity, she just can't get it and wants to have it. In any case, Hara didn't like her at all, and never even looked closely at her looks.

But if Chaosheng didn't say it, he would almost forget that there was such a person.

In fact, when he was in the mortal world, there was no shortage of people who liked Yuan Xi, whether it was because of his appearance or his talent, but it didn't stop there. The identity of his concubine, his bad reputation, all made them stop because of this. Their admiration is really shallow.

"It's not. He said.

"Don't you like her?"

"I don't like it. ”

"Then why go back to the mortal world?"

"Why am I staying here? Don't tell me it's to be with you, why should I be with you? Aren't there enough people with you?"

"It's not the same. ”

Chaosheng's words were still flat, but they seemed to carry some emotion and sighs. Her gaze fell on a grass in the yard at random, but it seemed to be looking further away. It was as if she was looking not at everything now, but at a long time ago.

"What's the difference?"

Chaosheng did not speak.

"We are different people. "Hara Yu said.

"I'm not a god. ”

"We have different paths. ”

"I'm not an immortal. ”

“......”

"And what are you?youkai?ghost?demon?or...... People?" Yuan Xi was speechless.

"I'm ......" Chaosheng thought about it, she didn't know what she was, "It's hard to say......"

Hara: "......"

Actually, Yuan Xi wasn't very interested, he didn't want to know so much about her.

"Okay, whatever you are, anyway......" Yuan Yu sighed resignedly-

"Sister Fairy?"

"Auntie?"

"Grandma?"

Yuan Xi called tentatively.

"Auntie?"

Chaosheng didn't think about him, just looked at him funny.

"Ancestor?"

Yuan Yu completely surrendered, he had a loveless expression, half-squatted beside Chaosheng, grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands, "Auntie, ancestor, I beg you, let me go." We are not of the same race, and we are destined to have little to do. Besides, the twisted melon is not sweet, I ......"

Chaosheng quietly watched him perform, and saw the brightness of a teenager between his eyebrows, which was extremely dazzling.

"I ...... I really don't want to stay here......"

The light in Hara's eyes dimmed unconsciously, and he didn't know what to say. What should be said, he said many times.

"You've been here for almost seven or eight days, and you've seen that there are many more creatures in the world besides humans, and most of them outlive people. You should know by now how big the Six Realms really are, and the life of a mortal is just a fleeting moment. When a person dies, he enters reincarnation and is reincarnated as a human being. Life and death are just cycles of heaven. The glory and wealth of the world are just passing clouds, and life does not bring death and does not take away. What do you think is there to cling to in such a life?

"And, knowing this, do you think you can still go back? Even if you go back, what you were obsessed with before, are you still obsessed with it now?"

Chaosheng used an extremely calm tone to talk about the avenue that mortals could not understand for decades.

"What about you? Since you have seen everything through, why do you still have desires? Yuan Xi asked rhetorically.

"I ......" Chaosheng was about to say something, but Yuan Yu stood up and said:

"I live in the mortal world, and I live a humble life. My biological mother is a Qinglou woman, so Zhao Su didn't want to recognize me at first. My mother raised me until I was ten years old, and then I fell ill and died. In those years, we were poor and sick, and we had to be criticized. Later, the emperor didn't want the royal blood to flow to the people, so he asked Zhao Su to take me back to the palace, but I, a concubine, was not even as good as my subordinates, and I was still not treated well.

"In just ten years in the mortal world, the only thought that allowed me to survive was to get ahead and prove it to those who looked down on me before, and I also thought that then I wouldn't have to live so humble. I studied hard and practiced martial arts, and I dreamed of sleeping all night just to live well. I'm not for fame or profit, I'm just ...... I don't want to live like that again. ”

The light in Hara's eyes grew darker and darker, and his smile was tinged with ridicule and sarcasm. It seemed that everything he had just said was just telling a story, and now that he thought about it, he felt that those things were far away from him.

"I know all of that. "Asahi said.

"You don't know. Yuan Yumei had a detachment in his eyes, "You don't know, you won't know." All I cling to is just to break free from the shackles of fate, but in the end I am still trapped here, unable to escape this destiny. If I had known that this was the result, what was the point of all my previous efforts, and what was the point of me being in this world?"

There was weakness in his tone.

"Even if you go back now, what's the point? In a few years, change the dynasty. The old country has been overturned, the old people are gone, everything seems to have not changed, but in fact it has changed. What doesn't change is the cycle of life and death. "Asahi said.

She looked into the distance, her clean eyes reflected everything in heaven and earth, but she felt empty.

"Even so, my freedom of life and death is not in your turn. I will never believe in destiny in this life, and I will not be at your mercy and imprisoned. Unless you kill me, I'm going to get out of here one day!"

Yuan Xi's tone was firm and resolute, and he turned to leave after speaking.

It seems that they broke up unhappily again.

Chaosheng thought, it made sense for him to think so. Maybe it's because there's nothing to do here, so I can't find the value of my existence. To put it bluntly, it may just be too idle. Maybe find him something to do, and it won't be so noisy.

Thinking like this, Chaosheng was in a much better mood, and when he walked into the house, he began to embroider on the embroidery stand.

......

The next day, another guest came to the Changming Palace. It's a woman.

In the past, these matters were solved by Chu Ji, and Chaosheng took the title of the lord of the Changming Palace, but ignored these affairs.

Now that Chu Ji is gone, these things can only be solved by Chaosheng himself.

She asked Yuan Yu to be present and watch, Yuan Xi didn't know why, but he was idle anyway, so he stood beside Chao Sheng.

When he first came, he thought he was irrelevant, but he was a man in the game, but now he is really a real bystander. The change of identity was only a few days, but it made him feel that the world was impermanent.

Asahi put on the mask again. She just doesn't want irrelevant people to know her true face.

On the Hall of Relics, Qi Mo wrote in the volume of "Relics": "The daughter of a rich family in the mortal Song Dynasty, her name is Zheng Yunjian, and she is seventeen years old. ”

"It's not easy for you to find here. Say, what do you want?" Chao Sheng leaned on his seat, his tone was very careless, and his posture was extremely lazy.

The young girl kneeling in the hall was Zheng Yunjian.

I saw that she had round apricot eyes, a small cherry mouth embedded under her small nose, and she was very beautiful and cute. With aura in her eyes, she has the innocence and liveliness that belongs to her age. Gu Pansheng, her eyes are full of light, she is indeed a beautiful little girl.

"Little Girl...... Little...... I ......" Zheng Yunjian seemed a little timid, stammered, and couldn't say a few words for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, say it slowly, this seat doesn't eat people. "Asahi said.

Hara: "......"

When she said these words, she always felt younger than the little girl kneeling below. But in view of the unhappy parting yesterday, Yuan Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"I ...... I want to be a demon. Zheng Yunjian's voice was a little small, but his tone was very firm.

As soon as these words ended, the temple fell silent.

There have always been demons who love mortals and want to be human. Mortals who want to become demons are rarely heard of.

"Reason. "Asahi said.

In fact, for reasons or something, she was not interested at all. But given that he had to write a booklet, there were some things that needed to be recorded in more detail.

"I like a demon, and I want to be with him for the rest of my life. Zheng Yun said. The little girl's face was flushed, her eyelashes blinked, and she looked very simple and cute.

The morning is clear. She said:

"Today there are three options. First, absorbing the turbidity of heaven and earth, supplemented by cultivation, the cultivation world calls it the way of cultivating demons. After becoming a demon, you can break free from the shackles of the world and do what you want.

"Second, after you die, go to the animal road to reincarnate, and this seat will greet the underworld, and then you don't need to drink Meng Po soup and keep the memory of this life. After reincarnation, you start to cultivate, and in time you can become a demon.

"Third, this seat will help you exchange your life and spirit with the demon who wants to be a man, and you will have your own place when the time comes. But all three options take time. Rao is the third type, but also to find a demon that is exactly the opposite of your heart, this is not something that can be found overnight, unless you hit it by mistake. ”

"Is it so trouble......some? I want to ...... as soon as possible," Zheng Yun said.

"It's not impossible, but it's costly. Obeying demon blood, destroying human nature, and cultivating evil ways are shortcuts. However, not only is it physically and mentally tortured and painful, but it will also harm people's lives in vain, hurt innocent people, and fear karmic retribution. ”

Zheng Yunjian was silent and did not speak for a long time.

"Why do you have to be a demon? Since you love each other, why can't you stay together?" Chao Sheng looked at Zheng Yunjian, as if he was a little puzzled.

Yuan Yu looked at Chaosheng, but she didn't expect that she, who had always been cold, would say this.

"Shemales fall in love, and heaven is intolerable. Zheng Yunjian lowered his head, tears rolling in his eyes.

"Tianli?" Chao Sheng's tone was sarcastic, "Tianli doesn't have time to care about you. Whether it is heavenly principles or people's hearts, you should think about it. ”

"I ......"

Zheng Yunjian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chaosheng: "You go back, go back and think about it, who is holding you back?"

"But ......"

"Now that you've figured it out, it's not too late to come back to this seat. Otherwise, it's you who regret it. ”

Zheng Yunjian nodded.

Chao Sheng waved his sleeves, and Zheng Yunjian disappeared in place.

Chaosheng took off his mask, his beautiful eyes looked into the distance, and then his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and his body exuded a kind of anger. She seemed to be in a bad mood and left without saying anything.

Is it the principles of heaven or the human heart? Whose heart is it that has escaped and retreated?
