Old Nine Gates · Vice Eight——Damn

Chapter 12

It is set that the old eight can see ghosts.

——————————————————————————————

In late autumn, such great sunshine is rare, and Qi Tiezui wanted to bask in the sun, so Xiaoman happily moved the Taishi chair from the back room to the courtyard, placed a tea drawer beside the chair, and burned Qi Tiezui Mouth favorite incense in the past.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the immortal has traveled alone for seventeen years, and Qi Tiezui has finally returned home.It's just that the scene of Changsha City is completely different from 17 years ago. Only this mansion has been carefully taken care of by Xiaoman for more than ten years and has not changed a bit.

In the six months since he came back, Qi Tiezui seldom went out easily. His spirit was not as good as before.

The battle in Changsha lasted for six years, but it was finally destroyed.As Zhang Qishan said that day, on the sixth day after Qi Tiezui left, the flames of war began to spread to Changsha again, and since then Qi Tiezui has not received any news from Zhang Qishan.In the year when Changsha was recovered, when Qi Tiezui ordered Xiaoman to come back, he especially asked him to collect news about Zhang Qishan, but there was still no news for several years.Qi Tiezui didn't know whether Zhang Qishan survived the extremely tragic war. Even Qi Tiezui couldn't figure out that man's life, but since he had never clearly counted the end of his life, he was still at ease. .

Qi Tiezui was lying in the sunshine of the courtyard, thinking in a daze, and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in the shadow of the front porch and looking at him. He seemed to hear the man saying, "Eight Lord, Lord Buddha asked me to invite you over." The voice carried the usual joking ending, and Qi Tiezui's eyes almost immediately showed the man's slightly curled lips and half-closed eyes. Looking at his expression with a smile, maybe he will continue to make a gesture of "please" that seems to be respectful, but is actually overbearing and unreasonable.Qi Tiezui smiled, and slowly stroked the edge of the half amulet in his hand with his thumb. The broken edge was polished smooth by years of mother-in-law, while the piece on his chest that had been with him all his life was exposed in the sunlight. It looks more moist and transparent, reflecting a faint water blue luster.

After the last battle with the female ghost that day, Qi Tiezui never saw any ghosts again. He knew that his Yin virtue had been damaged beyond repair, and for a while he began to suspect that he could no longer distinguish between human and ghost.At this time, Qi Tiezui knew that he must have fallen into a dream again, because that person would no longer appear in front of him no matter what.

It is invisible and hides from the dark world. If it is exposed to the world, it will be annihilated in an instant.

Suddenly a figure in a long gown appeared under the corridor. The man hurriedly drove Adjutant Zhang to the front hall, and then turned back alone. Only then did Qi Tiezui see the appearance of the man clearly—it was him Own.Qi Tiezui suddenly remembered that not long after he met Zhang Qishan, he had indeed kicked Adjutant Zhang out, and that day was also like this. In late autumn, when the sun was shining, Adjutant Zhang came to him on his own initiative in the name of Buddha for the first time, and Qi Tiezui was the only one. One time, he was very shameless and drove the person to the front hall to wait for half a day.

Qi Tiezui looked at the other person who was going straight across the courtyard and was about to enter the inner room, and hurriedly called out, but the other party heard him and turned back to look at him, but he was not surprised at all, Qi Tiezui looked at him for a moment, I just felt that this scene was really weird, thinking that such a meeting must be a reincarnation by chance, so I said to him the sentence that has been in my heart for a long time, "Life and death are parting, just like a flash in the pan, don't be self-conscious about it." Missed." Although the man was full of doubts, he still slightly bowed his head and made a bow to him.

A burst of frantic crying disturbed Qi Tiezui, the scene in front of him was like the water surface broken by pebbles, and suddenly disappeared, leaving only the crying that was stronger than the other, at first it was only a chaos, and then the sound gradually became clearer and louder. Qi Tiezui finally escaped from the dream and woke up to the world. Xiaoman cried loudly beside him, making him dizzy and buzzing in his ears. He sighed in his heart that this kid is in his 30s. It was so inappropriate, Qi Tiezui wanted to pat him on the head like before to ask what was wrong, but suddenly found that he could neither move his hands nor open his mouth, even opening his eyes became extremely difficult.

"Baye!" Xiaoman cried, "Baye...you wake up!" The voice was heart-piercing and unbearable.

"Baye," a voice that shouldn't exist entered Qi Tiezui's ears, the voice that he had only heard in dreams for many years, kept calling him in his ears, "Baye, you came here It's too early, wake up."

"Eighth Lord."

Qi Tiezui opened his eyes, and saw the familiar face of Adjutant Zhang right in front of him, squinting and smiling at him, the room was shrouded in darkness, only a small area was illuminated by the moonlight coming in from the window, Qi Tiezui Tiezui stared at him blankly, feeling that what was happening here was very familiar, he even knew what was going to happen next, but no matter how many times he repeated it, he was powerless to stop it.

Holding Adjutant Zhang's body tightly with one hand, Qi Tiezui almost used all his strength.The Shanshi disciple whose heart was pierced by the mahogany sword was pushed far away, and the many red ropes in the room were broken, and the tip of the sword finally broke away from Adjutant Zhang's body, and a sticky line was picked in front of Qi Tiezui's eyes. Thick black.

"Adjutant..." Qi Tiezui felt his throat tighten, and his voice trembled uncontrollably. Black blood gurgled down and soaked the clothes of the two of them.

The mahogany sword turns into an immortal, beheading all demons and evil spirits.Adjutant Zhang is already a fierce ghost, if he dies again, he will turn the ghost into a ghost, and the ghost can be reincarnated as a ghost after a thousand years, and reincarnated as a human after another thousand years.If the ghost is to be revived, the performer is only exchanging his life for his life, but if he wants to return to the human world, the performer must be expelled from the six realms as a price, and he will never be reincarnated.

"Don't worry, I'm already dead, and it's okay to die again." Adjutant Zhang said to Qi Tiezui solemnly, but he thought in his heart that a thousand years underground is only a few years in the world, and there is still time to wait for the reincarnation of a thousand years. Once the person in front of him, maybe in the next life, he will be able to forgive himself.As everyone knows, Qi Tiezui was terrified when he heard his words.

"It's okay...it's okay...I can still save you..." Qi Tiezui blinked twice, forcing himself to calm down. This sentence was more like talking to himself than to Adjutant Zhang .

"Baye..." Adjutant Zhang raised his hand to hold Qi Tiezui's finger that was about to bite into his mouth, and stopped him, "Baye, you know that I am no longer the person I used to be, so it's not worth it."

"...Stupid! When is it! You are still stubborn with me!" Qi Tiezui's grief and indignation were mixed, and his will was no longer clear. Fulai came, but was pressed down again, and the palm of the hand was forced to stick tightly to the forehead of the man, and there was a burst of coldness.

"Are you going to trade your life for lifetimes for me to live alone forever?" Adjutant Zhang pressed the hand on his forehead tightly. He remembered that the palm of that hand should be warm, but he couldn't feel it anymore. "Baye, I know I'm sorry. You are also willing to be punished, but this punishment is too heavy, I really can't bear it."

There was a moment of silence, Qi Tiezui didn't know what to do. There are very few cockroaches that can survive a thousand years. Firstly, the cockroaches have no human body to protect them, and they are instantly annihilated when they fall into the sun, and secondly, the cockroaches that hide in the nether world , I don't know the time, and slowly wear out my mind, even after a thousand years, I still can't return to being a human being.Looking at the dying man lying in his arms, Qi Tiezui felt more and more panic in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you forever."

Adjutant Zhang patted his hand on his forehead, and smiled with his iron mouth as usual, gradually faded away, and finally dispersed.

Qi Tiezui finally couldn't hold back his weeping, he didn't notice that the fragments of the shattered and scattered talismans were automatically returning to his chest from all over to merge into one, hanging on his chest intact as before. There is no trace of damage to the chest.With every sob of Qi Tiezui, the amulet shook, reflecting a smooth and moist water-blue halo in the moonlight.

Even though he knew that this was a dream, Qi Tiezui was still so sad that he couldn't help himself. Suddenly a familiar breath wrapped him up, and then a solid chest was pressed against his back, and then he was tightly embraced into a In comforting arms.

"Wake up," the same familiar voice called again and again in Qi Tiezui's ear, "Baye, wake up."

The gloomy room dissipated immediately, leaving only the boundless darkness and the embrace that made him so nostalgic. Qi Tiezui tightly grasped the arms that hugged him, and turned his head to see the face of the man, but no matter what How can not see clearly.

"Ba Ye, it's time to go back." In the chaotic darkness, Qi Tiezui heard the whisper of the man, and then his whole body was suddenly let go, and then he was pushed out with extremely strong force, as if he wanted to push him away from this death world of dreams.But Qi Tiezui turned around and grabbed the man's wrist the moment he was pushed out.

"Adjutant Zhang." Qi Tiezui called softly but firmly, the chaotic darkness suddenly dissipated, and Qi Tiezui stood firmly in a large piece of wild reeds, looking at the person in front of him without blinking.Adjutant Zhang was still in the same military uniform, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his eyes flickering, he half-closed his eyes, smiled and said to Tie Zui, "Baye, please go back when you've seen enough."

"Adjutant Zhang, why are you like this? You see that I'm here, so you have to pick me up and go with you."

Qi Tiezui looked at him, and while smiling smugly, he tightly held Adjutant Zhang's arm tightly. A trace of cool wind blew on his face, and the cool air was inhaled into his lungs, full of the fresh smell of river water and reeds. , a group of white geese are far away in the sky, and when the yellow flowers are all over the ground in autumn, it is the same when I first saw it that day.
