Chapter 153 Moth

A few hours later, at midnight, when Xie Changming went to Yingcui Lake, Mr. Xu had already arrived at the appointment.

Seeing that there was no one else around him, Mr. Xu asked, "What about the little Changming bird, why didn't he follow?"

Xie Changming glanced at him, and said calmly: "It's so late, and there is no need to make a big fuss."

Xie Changming didn't intend to let Sheng Liuyu know too much about these things.

Mr. Xu smiled: "It's too protective. Those who don't know think they are only eight years old."

It may be because she doesn't understand well, Sheng Liuyu is not a child.But I didn't ask any more questions, after all, I had business to do.

Today's weather is fine, and the night is the same, the moon and stars are sparse, the shadows of the surrounding trees fall on the water, and the color of the lake is emerald and clear.

Xie Changming didn't say what idea he came up with, he just tried it first.The fragments were well preserved. Xie Changming wore the Yan Yunxia of Sheng Liuyu and divided the fragments into two parts. The one filled with cold iron was less, and the one that was not filled with more. The middle without filling.

In this way, many fragments were built on the stones by the lake.

Xie Changming took these and jumped into the lake again.

After a while, it was probably Xie Changming who had put them all in place. There was a sudden light on the Yingcui Lake, the mist slowly dispersed, and a green shadow was cast from the lake, floating in mid-air. Although it was not too big, it was very clear. Every point and every painting can be seen clearly.

It turns out that each fragment corresponds to a map, on which the state, county, county, and the place to go are marked.

This is the evidence that Shi Xi tried everything possible to leave behind.

Mr. Xu was amazed, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw in detail.He had already taught this class, and he had drawn the map of the four continents countless times, so it wasn't too difficult now.

Xie Changming had already come up from the lake, he could take a rough look after looking at it for a while.Even if you can't repeat it, it's easy to find a local map every time you go.Of course, this is a last resort and does not apply to this matter.

Mr. Xu drew two maps, and finally realized: "It turns out to be like this."

Xie Changming took one of them, and heard him continue: "That was a class I took last year. You didn't choose it, but Shi Xi did. Once, I asked them to collect unusual deeds in the four continents for understanding. There is a pool of water in the blessed land of a student’s home. At night, it emits a glowing purple light, which is very beautiful. Now that I think about it, it is very similar to Yingcui Lake. The student said that there is a special fish swimming in the pool, which is the most fascinating. What is amazing is that on a moonlit night, the light from swimming fish can pass through the reefs in the water to form images, reflecting the appearance of thousands of mountains and green mountains in the air. But the fish will not shine when they go to other ponds. It didn’t look like it went to other places. My family couldn’t figure out what was going on, so I asked someone to look at it, and they said it wasn’t an illusion or any other crooked ways, so I just let it go. Many people said at the time The strange things they encountered, and the subsequent exams, they were asked to write them down and put them into a booklet, each of them had a copy."

What is so different about that reef and that pool of water? At that time, Mr. Xu didn’t know, or even knew whether it was true or not, but now he can roughly guess that the pool of blessed land with purple light at night is like a green lake with shadows, and the fish are like algae. , the reefs are the same as those reforged pieces.

Xie Changming said: "For cultivators, mechanisms that don't use spiritual power are the most difficult to understand and the hardest to find."

Mr. Xu wondered again: "You didn't choose that course, why did you suddenly think of it?"

Xie Changming said "hmm": "This kind of thing doesn't happen only in one place."

He had read many miscellaneous books in the past, about the magical mechanism of the side door, and there were also anecdotes and anecdotes that he didn't know the truth of.

After more than half an hour, Mr. Xu made a rough sketch of the map and checked it again.

He sighed: "It's really not easy for Shi Xi to think of these things in such a short period of time."

Shi Xi may have asked someone to help him recast the marrow iron, but this method must have been thought of by him.

Xie Changming didn't know what Shi Xi knew, but when making a decision and leaving evidence, Shi Xi didn't know if Cheng Zhiye had eyes and ears by his side. I didn't tell anyone a few words, it's all luck and fate, let the living people guess and think.Perhaps, at the moment when the secret was discovered, Shi Xi's life and beliefs had completely collapsed. He could no longer trust anyone in the world. What he tried his best to do had already been done. As for leaving evidence, he didn't know. Did he want to be discovered by others, or to live up to the first half of his life.

But no matter what, death is like a lamp going out, and Shi Xi doesn't even have the chance to cross Qishan and start all over again.

His soul has dissipated.

Xie Changming may understand Shi Xi a little bit.

Mr. Xu became suspicious again: "But, who can complete such an exquisite mechanism, does that person know about it?"

Xie Changming thought for a while, and he could probably determine who it was.

When he was looking for birds before, he also looked for that person, the owner of Jinyi Pavilion - Zhao Shiming.Zhao Shiming's cultivation level is not very high, he is very proficient in organ techniques, he is not obsessed with cultivation, he has his own set of longevity methods, and he is a businessman.The love of my life is doing business with people.He charged a lot and always got it done.

Zhao Shiming has done a lot of business of the three religions and nine streams, monks, mortals, demons, all comers, as long as he can afford the price and give him what he wants, he can do anything, because he has a good craft, but The source of this craft is not correct, and it is stained with blood, which will bring disaster to those who buy it.Xie Changming first knew this person because he accidentally heard a strange incident that happened not long ago when he was passing through the mortal world.

The son of a well-known local family died of his childhood sweetheart wife. He had a deep affection for her, and spent more than a year in despair.All of a sudden, I got a human doll from nowhere, and it was so exquisitely made that it looked exactly like my dead wife, and it looked lifelike.The son ate and lived with the puppet, and he was the same as his wife when he was alive, so he gradually cheered up.But the puppet was dead after all, the family saw that he seemed to be insane, secretly took away the puppet, did not install it properly, accidentally soaked in water, and no one cared, they only cared about appeasing the mad and irritable young master.After a few days, the house smelled bad, and it was discovered that the doll was actually made of a woman's corpse, and the corpse had a red mole on its collarbone. Judging from its appearance, it seemed that it had disappeared not long ago. wife's sister.The son violated the king's law and was sent to court and sentenced to death.But the family is very prestigious in the local area, so they were not involved in this matter, but they also encountered several catastrophes within a year, and were so ruined that they even sold their ancestral house.Later, a Feng Shui master came and said that the ancestral house of the son's family was originally a place of blessings and treasures, which would protect future generations for a long time. Somehow, the luck was taken away.

The son made a deal with Zhao Shiming with the luck of the ancestral house, in exchange for a doll in the shape of his wife.

Zhao Shiming gave a fair explanation for this: "If he is a cultivator, or a demon, no matter how bad he is, he is an emperor and can give out more, then I will use spirit wood, supplemented with organs, and gems, and he can make a lot of money." It should be more realistic, and there is no need to use human corpses as puppets. But he can only give this, and using human corpses is the cheapest and quickest way."

As for the corpse, Zhao Shiming said that the young lady voluntarily offered it.

"That young lady has someone she admires, and she made a wish to the sky to make her brother-in-law who lost her sister happy, no matter what she pays. I also do some good things occasionally."

She would not have thought that the so-called "happiness" was obtained from the doll made of her corpse.

It can be seen that most of those who hope to get what they want through Zhao Shiming are desperate and have to give everything in exchange for help from the other party.But gains and losses are contrary to common sense, so no good results can be obtained.

But Xie Changming still asked him to find that stupid bird for him.Unfortunately, the other party refused.

Zhao Shiming persuaded: "Among tens of thousands of living beings, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a needle in a haystack to find a bird that cannot speak with just a single portrait. You will never find it in a lifetime. Such a loss-making business A caring person like the employer can do it, but the subordinate can't. The reason is that the world is ruthless. If there is other business, as long as the subordinate can do it, it will be done for the employer."

It's not that Zhao Shiming doesn't want to do this business.If Xie Changming was an ordinary mortal, like that young man who initially wanted his wife to come back from the dead, but finally accepted an immovable doll, Zhao Shiming would hypocritically persuade his employer that it was just a bird. So what if it's fake?Even if Xie Changming disagreed, Zhao Shiming would superficially agree, but instead of looking for it, he pinched a fake bird.If there are birds or other birds that admire Xie Changming, it would be great, just stuff their souls into the container, dedicate happiness and dependence to the employer, and then die naturally.

Zhao Shiming is very good at and likes to do these things very much, destroying the beauty that existed in the past, and creating false illusions with wood, organs, flesh and blood, and souls.

You can't get enough out of the deal, so fooling people and seeing their pain is added compensation.

But Xie Changming has nothing else he wants to do, he can't get unreal happiness from the illusion, and he won't want it.And Zhao Shiming didn't have the guts to lie to him.

Xie Changming could really kill him, so he had no choice but to refuse.

Xie Changming was lost in thought for a moment, it was a long time ago.When negotiating business with Zhao Shiming, he really didn't think too much. He searched for too long, but there was no result. He didn't take the rumored disaster of retribution too seriously.

After checking the last map, Mr. Xu looked up at Xie Changming: "Six places, how to get there?"

It means that this matter is too important, no one else, only the two of them are going to investigate in person.

Xie Changming carefully looked at the map divided into several pieces, roughly estimated the location of the direction, and mentioned a few nearby places.

Mr. Xu let out a little surprised "Hey", not that he wanted to be lazy, but that Xie Changming always paid attention to quick decisions in his work, and Xie Changming went to far places, faster.As for Mr. Xu, he has the duties of the academy, so it is troublesome to ask for leave, his health is not good, and it is inconvenient to travel far.This time is different.

In fact, it's just that Xie Changming doesn't want to be too far away from the little Changming bird.

She didn't even want to tell him about Shi Xi, and it was even more impossible to take him with her when she went out.It's far away, so I don't worry about it. I go to a few nearby places and come back once. The footsteps are faster, and it doesn't take a few days.

Xie Changming's clothes and hair were all wet, and the Fudoki on his wrist dripped water slowly, but he didn't look embarrassed. Yushu stood there facing the wind, and he said some irrational words in a calm and ordinary tone: " I can't take him with me, so I don't feel at ease."

Although the spell of drying clothes is small, when Sheng Liuyu is not around, Xie Changming doesn't pay much attention to it. It was only when he thought of the little Changming bird that he remembered it. In an instant, the water on the clothes and hair dried up. There are still some traces on the cotton robe.

Mr. Xu has no objection to this, but after going back tonight, it is inevitable that he will have to think of an excuse all night before he can leave the mountain at this time.

When we got back, it was late at night.

From spring to summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, even sleeping at night with the windows open.At dusk today, Sheng Liuyu was sleeping by the window, and was accidentally hit on the face by a few bugs without eyes.Although he is a bird, he is not the kind that eats insects. On the contrary, he is afraid and hates it. However, he is greedy for the cool breeze at night and refuses to close the windows.Xie Changming pondered for a while, and planned to paste several layers of finely woven blue yarn on the window, so that the wind would be ventilated and insects would not be able to get in.

Qingfang Yarn is a very precious fabric. Even ordinary magic weapons can't be cut, and it's hard to change it. It's usually used to make clothes, let alone to paste windows.It would be fine if it was outside, but the current academy is closed and there is no circulation.Fortunately, Ruan Liuxia was the young sect master of Xuanbingmen, so she asked her little martial uncle to exchange some. When Xie Changming came back, he saw Qingfangsha placed on the table in the front hall.

Xie Changming pushed the door and entered. The candle was on. The little Changming bird was sleeping with the cat again. He stood and watched for a while, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do anything. The lamp was not blown.

Simply make the window screen first.

Xie Changming cut a square of Qingfang Yarn, and slowly pasted the window, when he saw a figure walking in the distance.

It's Chen Yibai.He didn't know what he was doing, and he rushed back in the middle of the night. Seeing some movement by the window, he stuck to him and asked, "Brother Xie, what are you doing?"

Xie Changming didn't look at him either, and said softly, "There are too many bugs in summer, so stick the window screen."

Chen Yibai: "Eh?"

In the past few years, no matter how many mosquitoes there were, didn't Xie Changming stay still?

Only then did Xie Changming glance at him, and lowered his voice: "Someone is sleeping."

Chen Yibai didn't see Xie Changming's eyes clearly, but he could hear his tone clearly - it was threatening, and he might become dumb in the next moment.

Why is this man like this!No roommates!

Chen Yibai's indignation was about to rise, and he suddenly realized slowly that the "someone" refers to Xie Changming's...that highness.He was rather embarrassed.Maybe, maybe, maybe, it's like bumping into the secret life of a newly married Taoist couple. Being single and noble, I always feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Chen Yibai is Chen Yibai, different from ordinary people.If it was someone else, he had already resigned at this time, but he secretly wanted to look into the house, but most of the window was covered by Xie Changming, and he couldn't see anything inside. He whispered: "Why, don't you move in?" Does that man live in the mansion on the top of the mountain?"

Xie Changming continued to paste the second layer.

Chen Yibai already knew the reason: "Oh? Oh! So it's because of that divine bird."

He looked at it for a while, and felt that Xie Changming even pasted the window screen very carefully and carefully, making it neat and beautiful, so that no one could find any gaps. I was born in a mortal world and I know the truth about marriage, so I should live in this house. For families without servants, men are responsible for repairing and adding things in the house."

Chen Yibai nodded again and again, teasingly said: "Brother Xie seems to have done a very competent job."

Before Xie Changming could speak, Chen Yibai ran away in a hurry.

Xie Changming shook his head, only to hear his name being called from behind.

"Xie Changming."

He turned around, and Sheng Liuyu was still nestled on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, her long hair was in a mess, hanging down the edge of the bed like shiny satin, while the fat cat curled up next to the pillow, sleeping comfortably.

And the little bird has woken up.

Xie Changming walked over, picked up his long hair, put it on his knees, combed it slowly, and asked gently: "So sleepy lately? I only slept for so long in the afternoon."

After thinking about it, I felt that although the little Changming bird had grown up to such a big size, it could be hugged, kissed, and married, but it was calculated according to the age of human beings.Based on a lifespan of 3000 years, he is just a cub, probably still growing, so it doesn't matter if he sleeps a little bit.

Sheng Liuyu turned over slightly, raised his eyes to look at Xie Changming, and blinked slowly: "I had a dream a long time ago, and it seems to be dreaming again just now."

Xie Changming raised his hand, holding the knife all year round, his slightly rough fingertips fell on Sheng Liuyu's face, and asked softly, "Is it a bad dream?"

Sheng Liuyu thought for a while, then shook his head again, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, as if he didn't want to remember: "I can't remember clearly."

He is usually very domineering, rarely like this now, and apart from Xie Changming, no one will see such Sheng Liuyu, so he is even more admirable and cherished.

Just like in the first life, the little trash usually domineering over Xie Changming, wanting this or that, was scared by the horse on the street, and tremblingly curled up in Xie Changming's hair.

Xie Changming would not embarrass him, nor would he intentionally make him think of bad dreams, as if he suddenly remembered something: "This room is a bit small, do you want to live in your yard?"

When I just woke up in this life, I thought a lot, wondering which tree that little thing would perch tonight, whether it had no branches to rely on, no food to eat, and waited pitifully for me to find it.After searching for a long time, even if not even a bird feather can be found, the owner's temper will also turn bad, and he will get angry with the stupid bird unilaterally.At that time, I thought, if you find it, you have to beat it first, feed it with fruits you don’t like, tie your feet with a rope, and prepare all the blessings and fairy springs.

As time went by, Xie Changming's temper became more and more bad, and he made several bird cages. The only kindness to the stupid bird was to let him choose a cage he liked.But I really found it, and I can't bear to part with what I thought in the past.

No one can treat the little things they raise or the people they like badly, right?

At least Xie Changming couldn't.

After hearing this, Sheng Liuyu moved forward, resting his head on Xie Changming's leg, and just said: "That's not my yard, I haven't lived there for long."

He didn't even know the layout of the decoration. He used illusion to arrange it like it was in Xiaozhongshan. He didn't even take a look at it. He only remembered that the courtyard was full of phoenix trees.

Xie Changming stopped his hand, quietly waiting for what he was going to say next.

"It's not too small here. I, a bird, and you alone are enough to live in."

The cat didn't know when it woke up, and it meowed heart-piercingly, scolding the owner's words and deeds for not treating himself as a cat.

"Well, although Chen Yibai hates it, he can help me feed the cat occasionally."

"There is a game of chess under the tree in the yard. In spring, when the sun is not shining and there is no wind, I can play chess with you."

There are not many good places, but there are countless bad places.

In the afternoon when I was sleeping by the window, I was hit by nasty mosquitoes.It would not be troublesome to deceive these mosquitoes with illusion, but Sheng Liuyu didn't want to do it.He used to use illusions without thinking about these things, just for convenience, but now he hopes that everything in this room is real.

Then, at night, Xie Changming would use green spinning to seal the windows tightly, maybe there would still be bugs that slipped through the net occasionally, and Sheng Liuyu couldn't bear it.

So, he commented: "It's okay."

Xie Changming understood what he meant, and "it's okay" was considered satisfactory.

But Sheng Liuyu was not so satisfied.

Probably just had a bad dream, Sheng Liuyu's mood was unreasonably bad.

When he came here for the first time, Xie Changming saved him. The reason was to read the genealogy of Changmingniao, which meant that he had no extra feelings for Sheng Liuyu, a little Changmingniao. become his breeder.For a long time later, Sheng Liuyu's rationality made him leave here. This was not a nest where he could sleep peacefully, but he was very attached to the place where Xie Changming was.Every time I come, the mood changes from good to bad, and sometimes only one thought is needed.Sheng Liuyu will not ask Xie Changming to change anything for him, he is the most proud bird in the world.

At that time, I didn't feel wronged or disrespectful, because there was no reason to be wronged, and I shouldn't come back when I realized that it was disrespectful, so I pretended to be very good and even deceived myself.It seems that I will not shed my tears to people who are not worthy, because it will only make people laugh.

Xie Changming noticed the silence of the little Changming bird, picked him up, looked at him and asked, "What are you thinking?"

But it's different now.

They haven't finished reading the book, and they will live here for several years.

Sheng Liuyu was very delicate and noble from birth. In the summer three years ago, in order not to be exposed to the sun, she was able to pay to replace the trees on the side of the road overnight. Now she is staying in a small room in this small courtyard because of the breeding Only when the Lord lives here is he willing to condescend.

Xie Changming saw that Sheng Liuyu suddenly regained his energy, and looked up at himself: "Although it's okay here, it's not that good."

Xie Changming: "Oh? I would like to hear more about it."

Sheng Liuyu pointed and said that many places were not good. He acted as the master, and as a bird, he was not satisfied with the nest he built. He asked Xie Changming to agree to his conditions one by one, and to satisfy all of them.

He was naturally dissatisfied and asked for something from Xie Changming. Xie Changming couldn't hold it back, and when the little Changming bird pointed at the wall, he lowered his head and kissed his fingertips.

I was caught off guard by being kissed to the fingertips, just like the feather that was born on the wings after being kissed. It didn't sound too much, but it was actually a very sensitive part of the body.

The little Changming bird withdrew its hand, put it into the fluff of the cat's belly, tilted its head to look at Xie Changming, frowning seriously, as if asking why this person was like this, and was defeated by Xie Changming's calm eyes , slowly stretched out his hand and handed it to him.

He was kissed on the palm again.

this person!

... how can you lick?

Never stretch again next time.

I don't know how many times I have annoyed the little Changming bird, when he ignored him, Xie Changming finally said the business: "I have to go out a few times about Shi Xi's side."

Sheng Liuyu was stunned: "Why do you need to make more trips?"

Xie Changming hugged him even tighter: "The places are not far away. I'll come back after I finish one visit. You'll wait for me here, okay?"

Sheng Liuyu probably wanted to say something bad.

Xie Changming looked at him, straightened his long hair on the side of his face, and said in a calm tone, unable to detect any emotion: "If only you were a little bird, it would be great if you were a small bird, locked in a cage, no matter where you go, you can take it with you." You can take it out."

Xie Changming really thought so, and had done that before.

Xie Xiaoqi is a waste snack, very incompetent, it is just a gray bird raised by Xie Liu, it has no other identity, and there will never be any secrets with its owner.Sheng Liuyu is different. He is a divine bird with a noble status and a mysterious life experience. He has many unspeakable secrets and many things that will hurt him.Xie Changming really wanted to protect him and be by his side all the time, but he was afraid that he would know the secrets that hurt him.

Sheng Liuyu didn't seem to take it seriously, he raised his head, his clothes were slightly open, his neck was stretched tightly, and there was a beautiful arc, and there were blue-gray veins under the almost transparent skin, so thin and fragile.

He asked in that indifferent and somewhat provocative tone: "Really? I will peck you then."

Xie Changming looked away, he lifted the thin quilt, and held Sheng Liuyu's ankle.It can be held in one hand, thin like this, with the beads he gave loosely hanging on it, Xie Changming's bones and blood as the shield and fuel, protecting the half of Sheng Liuyu's long hair, such a filthy secret spell, It is also necessary to decorate it with emerald gemstones to make it attractive to people, and then give it to Shengliuyu as a gift.

But tantric magic is like this, no matter what kind of injury, it can be blocked by this person, and transferred to the owner of the bones and blood, it seems that there is no need to worry too much.

Xie Changming smiled, and said seriously: "Well, I will tie this foot to the cage when the time comes."

He hates all unexpected things. If you can't fully control it, it's better to just give up.

But Sheng Liuyu was an accident.Xie Changming didn't know what Tiandao wanted to do, and he didn't know what Shi Xi saw. In the so-called future, would the little Changming bird always be by his side?

It doesn't work if you don't, so you are really thinking about it seriously.

Sheng Liuyu couldn't help kicking him, not hard, but really annoyed.

Xie Changming hugged him in his arms, his breath was light and cold, falling on Sheng Liuyu's body, as if the distance couldn't be more intimate.

The villain covered his eyes again, and his eyelashes fluttered in the palm of that person, like a frightened moth.His other hand walked on the little Changming bird, it was very rough, with a few obvious scars, so it felt obvious when rubbing it.

Sheng Liuyu thought, where did this person get so many injuries?

This person has the highest cultivation level in the world, the fastest knife, invincible and omnipotent. It seems that there is nothing this person cannot do, but he really wants to protect this person.

So he will listen to this man and fulfill all his wishes.

Good or bad doesn't matter, he wants him to be happy.

"So nice."

The man coaxed him.

His eyes and ears were covered by someone, and he lost his senses just like before. He could only be at the mercy of this person, and there was nothing he could do.After a while, it seemed that after being stared at for a long time, someone lifted his chin forcefully and kissed his upper lip heavily, like an ignorant child taking a bite of a fun toy he got by accident.

It hurts a bit.Why is this person so unhappy all of a sudden.

Been messing around for a long time.

Finally, Xie Changming had had enough fun, let go of Sheng Liuyu in his arms, and even pulled up his clothes politely to cover up the marks left by too much force.

He cherished the little Changming bird's temples and said, "Mine." The childishness had not completely disappeared.

Sheng Liuyu opened his eyes and blinked slowly at him.

Where is the moth, is the golden butterfly.
