"Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian......"

Ning Feng slowly withdrew his hand from Xiao Nian's head, shook his head and sighed.

"What kind of power made you the way you are?"

He seemed to be asking, but only he could answer.

On the huge Zeng Island, there was a second living person besides Ning Feng, and even if there were, I am afraid that he did not know in detail.

Ning Feng's eyes showed sadness, pity, and some emotion, and he sighed: "In the past, I heard senior brother mention a strange news, which should be different from Xiao Nian's current situation. ”

"Aren't you listening to the story of the big brother outside? I'll tell you again. ”

Ning Feng made a move, and a chair with a thin layer of dust flew in and landed right behind him, just in response to his slow seating.

He didn't care about the dust on the chair at all, and his demeanor was calm, as if he was just like when he was sick, telling the little girl stories one by one every day, or personal experience, or hearsay, always in exchange for exclamation.

Ning Feng was spoiling at that time, holding the idea of coaxing the little girl and talking casually, at this moment everything was like that day, Xiao Nian at that time also listened to it like this, just fell asleep on his stomach.

"There is a profession in the mortal world that is regarded as a lowly profession and is feared by men, and that is the executioner......"

Ning Feng would never have imagined that the last time he told Xiao Nian a story would be in such a situation.

Xiao Nian was still in front of her, but she couldn't hear it anymore.

"The executioner eats the meal of chopping off the head and does the work of killing, and people inevitably turn away. ”

"Except for the white things. and the families of those who have been sentenced to death. For the sake of loved ones to die more happily. In addition to having to bribe the executioners, other times, people want to get as far away from them as possible, supposedly because they have killed too many people and have a bad aura on them. ”

"It's just that no one knows that the executioners who really have a heritage are actually passing down a kind of living art from generation to generation!"

"The art of living by killing the living!"

Ning Feng talked and talked, forgetting where he was. Xiao Nian can hear it, etc., and he is immersed in the story unwillingly......

In the story, an executioner who really has a heritage and has been beheading for generations for a living receives an order from Shangguan to execute a person one day.

On that day, he killed corrupt officials and cool officials, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and was known as the Buddha of ten thousand families.

Before he was executed, the whole city mourned, and I don't know how many people would like to live. How many people came all the way just to give him a ride.

The surname of the Buddha of the Wan family is Chen, and he is a noble student.

The executioner felt that this man had great merit. And if he is indeed a good person, he can't bear to kill him. It's just such a recidivism, how can a mere executioner control such a serious offense and indulge in killing?

As for such a thing as robbing the Dharma Field, throughout the ages, unless it was a monk who took action, who could do it?

The executioner, of course, can't either!

On the eve of the execution, the executioner, who was determined to save people and seek peace of mind, carried a vat of wine and a basket of roast chickens to death row.

After the two of them were full of wine and food together, the executioner said to Chen Guisheng: "Brother Chen, do you want to live?"

Is it a person who wants to die?

Ants and steal life!

Chen Guisheng stared at the executioner's eyes tightly, and the desire to survive almost burned in his eyes.

The executioner did not wait for his answer, and continued: "I can save you, if only you do what I say tomorrow." ”

Immediately afterwards, he told Chen Guisheng about the executioner's living technique handed down from generation to generation.

The process is extremely simple, it is nothing more than when Chen Guisheng heard him shouting "run" during the execution, so he hurriedly ran, buried his head in the front, ran as far as possible, and ran until he couldn't run anymore.

Then, in the place where he exhausted his strength, he went into seclusion, and there was nothing to do.

Don't look back.

This so-called living human technique sounds ridiculous, but when people are drowning, no matter how ridiculous they are, they will believe it a little, and they will grasp a straw.

The next day, at the time of execution, the executioner took a bowl of soju into his mouth, sprayed it on a big knife, and then shouted in Chen Guisheng's ear:

"Run!"

Chen Guisheng's desire to survive burned, where to manage whether it was ridiculous or not, he rushed out with his head bored.

He felt that he was very lucky, there was no one to stop him along the way, or maybe the pursuers were stopped, he actually rushed all the way out of the law field, rushed out of the city, rushed out of the plain, and rushed all the way to the southernmost pearl cliff, where he lived in seclusion among the pearl divers.

Later, Chen Guisheng changed his name to Guisheng and married a pearl diver as his wife.

Gui Sheng lived in a simple house and never dared to show his face, for fear that the offender would be re-tied to the court.

If it hadn't been for the accident, he would never have known that when he rushed out of the court, the executioner cut it off, and Chen Guisheng's head flew high, spilling blood far away.

Twenty years after the incident of Chen Guisheng's dharma, one day, one of his sworn brothers, who also witnessed his beheading on the dharma field, unexpectedly met Chen Guisheng, who had changed his name to Guisheng, at the Pearl Cliff.

"Aren't you dead?"

The sworn brothers were shocked.

"Am I dead?" Chen Guisheng laughed, telling the story of the year, sighing.

The more he spoke, the more strange his sworn brother's face became, and he couldn't help but interrupt and said: "I was also in the Dharma field back then, and I saw your head cut off with my own eyes, so I went to find the best tailor for my brother, sewed your head and body together, and buried it with my own hands!"

"How could there be anything wrong?!"

The words of the sworn brothers will not be false, and how can this matter deceive people, there were not 10,000 but thousands of people in the Dharma field back then, all of them were witnesses.

Chen Guisheng's surname was gone, and he muttered to himself: "I was already dead, twenty years ago, I was already dead......"

Before the words fell, under the shocked gaze of the sworn brothers, Chen Guisheng's whole body turned into light and dissipated on the spot.

Twenty years of marriage and childbirth turned out to be a person who died a long time ago......

When Ning Feng said this, his tone was soothing and gentle, as if he was afraid of the weird story. It scared Xiao Nian. Slowed down. Only then did he continue: "Coincidentally, at that time, the senior brother of the family happened to be ordered by his teacher to walk the world, looking for opportunities, and it was the right time for him. ”

The senior brother was curious, this kind of method was not found in the Immortal Dao, since it appeared in the hands of a small executioner, so he traveled thousands of miles to the town where the executioner was located to find it. ”

When Ning Feng said this. With a look of remembrance on his face, he seemed to have returned to the Sun God Palace, sitting opposite his senior brother outside his own water and clouds, with a small red clay stove, warm when talking.

"When the senior brother looked for it, the executioner had passed away, and the senior brother found the executioner's son. ”

"The person is in trouble, so the senior brother helps him solve it, and the city is gracious. Let's ask about the current year. ”

"The executioner's son is worried that he can't repay the favor, and naturally knows everything. There is no end to the words. ”

It turned out that the old executioner of the year did behead Chen Guisheng with his own hands, and the so-called living technique was just a few words he said to Chen Guisheng. ”

Ning Feng seemed to be really telling a story to a living person, and asked with a smile halfway through, "Xiao Nian, don't you think it's strange?"

"I was too. ”

"Later, the senior brother explained, and I realized that whenever the execution is carried out, it must be the heaviest time of the day and the most popular place, in that case, all the ghosts and ghosts have nothing to hide, and now they die, so Chen Guisheng will not be a ghost. ”

"He is a human obsession with survival, and he has become a living person. ”

"The real Chen Guisheng is dead, but the obsession that supported him was hinted at by the executioner, and he rushed out in an instant of the severed head, and he was alive. ”

The executioner told him to run all the way, and at first he was obsessed with no one to see, so he was unblocked, and he was tireless, and he was not at human speed, so that it was possible to run all the way from the same place to the southernmost Pearl Cliff. ”

"With the passage of time, obsession with yang, no different from a real person, there will be a sense of fatigue and powerlessness, at this time completely alive, Chen Guisheng stopped in this situation. ”

"The reason why Chen Guisheng is incognito is not because he is afraid of being arrested by the authorities, in the eyes of the officials, Chen Guisheng is dead, what else is there to arrest?"

"For fear of being broken!"

Ning Feng sighed with emotion: "If Chen Guisheng has lived a stable life for many years, once he is broken and dead, his soul will be scattered, and his obsession will die, wouldn't it be sad." ”

As he spoke, he looked sad and sad in his eyes, and looked at Xiao Nian who was writhing in his sleep with a responsible look.

Ning Feng was not sad for Chen Guisheng, of course it was Xiao Nian.

"Xiao Nian, your situation is different from that Chen Guisheng, although I really want to think about it, I hope very much, I hope that you are like that. ”

Ning Feng closed his eyes, hiding the increasingly sad look in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "In that case, I will protect you well and will not let anyone break it, then you will live forever as if nothing had happened." ”

"It's a pity ......"

He shook his head, sighed, helpless, and inexhaustibly complicated.

"On the edge of the beach, when I first saw your appearance, how I wished you were an obsessive yang body of living human arts, but unfortunately...... , you're not. ”

Ning Feng had just come into contact with Xiao Nian in this state, and it only took a short time to judge that Xiao Nian and Chen Guisheng were not in the same situation, and he was disappointed and couldn't speak.

As for Xiao Nian's situation at this time, he saw that now, he knew more or less in his heart.

"Xiao Nian, do you know, I thought you were in that state at the time, so I followed you behind until you were obsessed with Yanghua. ”

"But you're not, you're not obsession, you're a memory!"

"Memories are another obsession, a kind of spirit!"

Ning Feng said with difficulty, bitterly, in the end what Xiao Nian was in at the moment.

- Memories!

- Spirit!

- Remembrance!

"Xiao Nian, now you are just repeating the most impressive period of your life, all the actions in it, all the joys and sorrows. ”

"You can't forget, even after death, you still have such a memory, and you still want to continue to immerse yourself in it......"

In Ning Feng's mind, many thoughts came one after another, and the instincts that had been suppressed poured out like a tide, and Xiao Nian's situation at this time was like watching fire for him.

"This is Zeng Island, a very special place where such miraculous creations as Zeng Guo will be born. In such a place, there must be an unknowable and wonderful existence, and this is one of them. ”

"Xiao Nian has forgotten all the birth defects, what happened yesterday does not exist for her, all her memories are only firmly remembered, constantly recalled, and used up everything to remember the point. Refined and pure, not like others, too many memories, too many distracting thoughts, and miscarriages, this is the second. ”

"A drink and a peck, all are determined by heaven, the sky closes its door, and its window is opened!

Xiao Nian has such a congenital defect, either because of her special characteristics, or when she goes out to remember something, she will burst out with magical power, which is the third!"

Ning Feng stretched out his hand again and stroked Xiao Nian Yiling's head weakly, and the meaning of nostalgia overflowed.

Outside, the sky was getting brighter.

Xiao Nian woke up, yawned, and quickly covered her mouth, looking towards the bed, thinking that Ning Feng, who should have been unconscious at the time, did not react, so she breathed a sigh of relief and stuck out her tongue mischievously.

She walked to the door, with a smile on her face, not only pure, but also a kind of attachment that found support or reason, and when she fished it out of the ground, an illusory wooden barrel was carried into the crook of her arm.

Xiao Nian was going to the beach to pick up shellfish again, Ning Feng followed as yesterday, or side by side, or followed, watching her every move, smiling, and happy......

A few days passed in a flash.

During this time, Ning Feng saw Xiao Nian talking, listening, laughing, and when no one was around, looking up at the former fruit tree, revealing a sadness that could not be concealed.

He saw Xiao Nian standing on a high reef, looking out into the depths of the sea from afar.

He saw that Xiao Nian was standing under the fruit tree day by day, picking up the withered leaves, and writing words on them, one leaf, one leaf, one day, one day...... Finally, they gathered together and buried under a tree......

......

Ning Feng mourned in his heart!

He saw with his own eyes that Xiao Nian's body was fading little by little, as if the pool was gradually drying up.

"She's going to disappear......"

Ning Feng took a deep breath, otherwise, he felt that he couldn't breathe in air, like being in water, he felt like he was suffocating.

"I'm still too weak......"

Ning Feng wanted to squeeze out a smile for Xiao Nian at the last moment, even if she couldn't see it, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.

"I'd love to treasure you, even if you're just a Remembrance. ”

"But I can't. ”

"I won't have such a spell, such a supernatural power, I can only watch you disappear little by little. ”

Ning Feng really wanted to know what Xiao Nian had buried, whether it was the withered leaves he thought, and he also wanted to know what Xiao Nian had written on it.

But he didn't dig up the thin soil to see it now, and Xiao Nian at this moment, like the sunset hanging in the sky, had reached the last moment of afterglow.

Ning Feng didn't want to miss a trace, half a wisp.

"That's fine......

He finally curled the corners of his mouth and showed a smile that could not be called a smile: "You are here, you don't need to be elsewhere." ”

"It's like, I'm in your memory, not somewhere else. ”

At this moment, the sunset tenaciously revealed the last ray of brilliance, a bit of a taste of returning to the light, and it was extraordinarily gorgeous.

At this moment, Xiao Nian felt something, she turned around, and showed a bright smile in the direction of the sunset, as if she saw her eldest brother coming from that place and opened his arms to her.

The next moment, Xiao Nian closed his eyes and disappeared with a bright smile...... (To be continued......)
