In the distance, an old man in a black robe holding a white son and an old man wearing a white robe holding a black son sat opposite each other in the main hall. Heaven and earth, it seems that they are all watching these two old men play, and the world is silent!

The two old men were just playing against each other on the chessboard, but they gave people indescribable coercion...... Lin Xi looked stunned.

"Lin Xi, the way of heaven is orderly, is it the destiny of heaven that is difficult to violate, or is man determined to win the sky?" a white-haired old man who was over the age sat alone on the top of the mountain. Lin Xi came back to his senses and looked at it, this old man didn't look like an old man, he really didn't look like it. His spirit is stronger than that of a young man, and he looks like an otherworldly immortal.

"Immortal Chief, the student is just an ordinary man, and he doesn't understand what Immortal Elder means. Although Lin Xi didn't understand, he still quickly replied to show his respect for the immortals. The immortal smiled, stroked his beard, and disappeared from the top of the mountain without replying.

With the disappearance of the immortals, he was on an unknown ancient battlefield in the blink of an eye. There are too many people, demons, and demons fighting here. Corpses are everywhere! Everything screams!

Looking at the red-dyed earth one after another, Lin Xi was very frightened and wanted to escape, but his legs were locked tightly and he couldn't move.

His face was already covered with sweat, Lin Xi wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and looked up at the red sun shining on the red earth, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes......

Lin Xi woke up suddenly, it turned out to be a dream.

"It's not like you, you don't know how to get up until the sun burns your ass. Could it be that you dreamed of a grinding female goblin," the other soul in his body teased.

"You're half right, but not a leprechaun, but a dream that you left my body and ran into a pig's body. Lin Xi retorted.

"Hehe, Uncle Ben is now in the body of a pig. Another voice said.

"Yes, I throw in the towel. After saying that, Lin Xi hurriedly got up and walked towards the shop of Jiang Shenyi, the only pharmacy in their town. The four big characters of "Wonderful Hands Rejuvenation" at the door of the store are particularly conspicuous.

Lin Xi entered the shop, and the young man in the shop greeted him and said, "Xiao Linxi, what's wrong today? Who has been taught a lesson by you?" Lin Xi glanced at him with disdain and said, "Is Doctor Jiang here?"

"This time, it needs to be treated by Doctor Jiang, it doesn't seem to be easy. The guy laughed.

"Don't tease me anymore, I'm in a hurry to find Doctor Jiang. Lin Xi said seriously. Seeing Lin Xi's serious appearance, the guy stopped joking anymore and replied, "Doctor Jiang is out, but you kid is lucky, and you can come back tonight." ”

"Okay, Doctor Jiang is back, please help me tell him, Lin Xi has visited him, please wait for me. ”

The guy thought for a moment and asked, "It's really not about fighting?"

Lin Xi shouted, "Get out!" and turned to leave. Because he was about to leave here, there was no room for delay.

Lin Xi, who left the pharmacy, came to a shop selling incense, after all, it was about to be Qingming. Lin Xi thought about taking a good stick of incense for his parents, otherwise he wouldn't know that it was the Year of the Monkey when he came back.

"Yo, what's going on these days? You kid comes to me twice in three days to buy things, I remember that you only come on important days. Isn't it Qingming today? Are you a rich kid? Or are you ......?"

"Give me all the incense you have to say here, and get some paper money. Lin Xi interrupted this boss, he knew that if he didn't do this, he didn't know how long it would be with this boss's chattering personality.

The boss heard that he wanted to buy good paper money and good incense. Immediately, he greeted him with a smile and took out the best paper money and incense. Don't talk more, let Lin Xi choose. Lin Xi didn't understand the quality of these things, so he randomly chose a few tall and thick incense sticks and some good-looking paper money, paid the money and left. Then Lin Xi came to an old shop that sold wine and bought a few bottles of good wine. Then we set off for the town's cemetery.

Most of the town's cemeteries are on the west side. Because the west has good feng shui and the sun sets, everyone wants to believe that the dead will be reborn in the east like the sun. Most of the graves here have tombstones, only a few do not, only a bare grave, and at most a wooden sign is set up in front of the grave to write the name.

Most of these juniors don't even have the ability to support themselves, so naturally they don't have the money to buy tombstones. The graves of Lin Xi's parents have tombstones, and at that time, Lin Xi spent all the money left by his parents, and he didn't know how much money he had been pitted. However, his parents can also be regarded as having a place to belong after death.

Lin Xi came to the tombstone of his parents and habitually removed the weeds around him. Then he took out a few sticks of incense and a wad of paper money that he bought, and Lin Xi squatted down to light the incense. Three large ones and four small ones. Then Lin Xi began to burn paper money while telling what he wanted to say to his father and mother over the years: "Daddy, you left when I was very young, and I only knew how to cry at that time, because I knew that I would never see you again." I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm afraid I won't be able to persevere. But now you don't have to worry about me. I'm grown up, and I really wish you guys were still around, really, I want you to see what I look like. I'm here today to say goodbye to you, I'm leaving here. I hope I will still be your son in the next life, let me have a good filial piety at that time!" After finishing speaking, Lin Xi knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Then he got up and walked to the side of Master Yang's tombstone and said, "I know you don't like people to burn paper and incense for you after you die." Well, it's the best wine in the store where you often buy alcohol. With that, Lin Xi poured the wine in front of Master Yang's tombstone, and then stood there dumbfounded without saying a word.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Xi put the unfinished bottles of wine in front of Master Yang's tombstone and turned around and left. During this period, Lin Xi did not notice a few hoopoe birds in the tree, which were the ones that followed him when he entered the cemetery, and these hoopoe birds did not fly away until Lin Xi walked out of the cemetery......

When Lin Xi walked halfway up the mountain, he suddenly found that there was a bottomless pit behind the mountain, what was going on? How many times did Lin Xi walk back and forth? Why don't you remember here, there is no big pit at all.

On the opposite side of the big pit, an old man looked at Lin Xi in a daze.

The two of them looked at each other face to face across a large pit.

The old man was very old, and it seemed that he really became one with the mountain in the middle of the mountain.

Even if Lin Xi was separated by a large distance, he could see the old man's face clearly.

"Old man, are you?" Lin Xi could be sure that he was not from the neighborhood.

The old man did not remain indifferent, on the contrary, he replied with a smile: "I, I am an outsider from afar, not from your place. The old man continued to laugh and said, "Little friend, those people outside call me Old Master, and I can't reveal the name as for it. ”

The old man's words were extremely polite and gave people a great sense of closeness.

Lin Xi was puzzled, this old man was some distance away from him, how could his words be so clear? What was even more strange was that the old man's face was half covered by a white beard, and he couldn't see whether his lips were turning at all.

Lin Xi can be sure that this old man is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Old man, if you need help, I'll go find someone to help. Lin Xi said.

The old man smiled slightly, "No, I'm not welcome anywhere this old man, of course, I'm not welcome, I can go, but this time he is a little unreasonable, so it's rare for me to bother." ”

"By the way, little friend, what's your name?"

Lin Xi hesitated for a while, but still revealed his real name.

The old man smiled even more, and said something inexplicable but made the young man feel like he had been struck by lightning.

"I'll treat you, how about you being my apprentice?"

In the evening, Lin Xi went to Doctor Jiang's shop. He hoped that Divine Doctor Jiang was back. Even in the evening, the four big words of "wonderful hand rejuvenation" are still clearly visible at the door of the store. "Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......" Lin Xi knocked on the door three times, and the interval between each time was relatively long. After a while, footsteps were heard through the door.

It wasn't the daytime guy who opened the door, yes, Doctor Jiang is back.

"You're here? Why don't you come into the house and talk. Doctor Jiang said. Lin Xi was embarrassed to go in with mud on his shoes, so he shirked and said, "It's okay, just a few words, I don't need to go into the house to disturb you." ”

Divine Doctor Jiang seemed to see Lin Xi's difficulty and said, "The person who comes is a guest, how can there be any reason for the host not to invite?" Lin Xi then went in with Divine Doctor Jiang.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Xi asked anxiously, "Master Jiang, how long do you think I have left?" Doctor Jiang motioned for Lin Xi to sit down first, and then brought a glass of water to Lin Xi and said, "It's only two years, and if it is supplemented by medicine, it can only be continued for three months." ”

"Two years, two years, there really is no other way?" Lin Xi muttered. But in fact, I was a little unwilling.

"The root of your illness was caused by the perennial uphill when you were very young, and no one took care of you and couldn't eat enough, so it has reached an advanced stage, and it is also because of your strong physique for two years. Two years of remission with my medical skills is the best outcome. Doctor Jiang said unhappily. I hope Lin Xi listens well.

Lin Xi didn't speak, just smiled bitterly, for him, these were irrelevant.

"Is there something on your mind?" asked Doctor Jiang.

"It's just that before Master Yang died, he entrusted me with a letter and hoped that I would pass it on to his daughter, and I don't know if I would persist until that time. Lin Xi replied.

"If nothing else, you should be able to make it to that point. Doctor Jiang said. Lin Xi snorted.

"It's good to go out and have a look, the outside world is so big, you kid should go and see it. Doctor Jiang sighed. Then he was told to come and get the medicine when he left. Lin Xi thanked Doctor Jiang and left the shop without disturbing him to rest.

After the boy left, there was a strange little insect in Doctor Jiang's hand, and he was scared as soon as this little insect came to his hand, but Doctor Jiang didn't hurt it, just threw it away and let it go back.

Lin Xi, who walked out of the store, was heavy every step, and it was only two streets away from his house, and he walked for half an hour. This young man originally wanted to ask Doctor Jiang if his illness had changed this time, but he didn't say anything after all. He was afraid, afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your body when you're dead. Make sure it won't be hungry!" said the other soul in Lin Xi's body triumphantly.

"To be honest, I hadn't thought about it before, and it wasn't until it happened to me that I realized how scared I was of death. Lin Xi said.

"Death is just a kind of liberation, you see how tired you are living in this life, it is better to be liberated and fulfill me. ”

Indeed, Lin Xi is too tired in this life. His loved ones kept leaving him, and eventually he himself was going to die. Heaven is really unfair.

But he didn't dare to scold God, he was afraid that God would be ruthless and let him go to see his father and mother in advance.

"After I leave, I hope you can return to this place to help me take care of Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang, help me incense my parents during the Qingming Festival, bring Master Yang some wine he likes to drink, accompany him to say a few more words, and help me protect little Cui Ming......" Lin Xi said a lot, a lot.

"Come on, I'm a little bit reluctant to let you die after you're gone. Lin Xi didn't want to answer this guy. He knew he would come back when he was gone. It's just that Lin Xi wants to say it, he wants to say the unwillingness in his heart, he is really unwilling!

"By the way, I have said so many people, why haven't I heard of Huang Xia's girl? You know, this girl is very cute, if you want me to say, she has grown up, and he is full of mountains chasing her. ”

Lin Xi wanted to scold him, but there was no need.

"Well, I'll marry her when I get back. ”

"Get out!" Lin Xi scolded, the soul in his body didn't speak.

Walking to the door of his house, Lin Xi looked up at the sky and whispered to the sky: "I really don't want to die, really." "The sky is so big, boundless. I don't know if the outside world is as big as the sky, but I am sure that the outside world must be more colorful than the sky!

There was not a single word about the old man on the mountainside in the question and answer between the two, and they seemed to avoid this person.

Near the mountainside cemetery, the old man sat there carefully, the whole mountain peak was silent, surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of birds, insects and snakes never appeared.

A hoopoe bird by the grave streaked across the branches, and a man appeared, smiling.

"Get out of the way, I'm upset today. The old man said, his face extremely ugly.

The man smiled and said, "Why is the old master unhappy? ”

Without waiting for the man to finish, the old man raised his hand slightly.

The man stopped talking to himself, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Even the few hoopoes on this mountain are missing.

The sky was dark, and the silence of the mountain peaks was even more frightening.

The old man sat alone with his eyes closed, and there was the sound of a big river rushing in his ears, as if the rivers were about to converge under the mountain, but in the second half of the night, the sound became weaker and weaker, and the silent mountain peaks were pitch black, and there was no old man anymore.

Early the next morning, some of the middle-aged men who got up early were a little confused, and even the older generation had a stomach problem.

Every year this place floods, but this time?

Not only here, but the water level of all the surrounding rivers has dropped by half.

The old gentleman returned home early, looking to the east and waiting for the sun to rise.
