When the magic stick summons cute pets
Chapter 51 Cookies
I still couldn't go out at night.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Ye Changsheng got up and turned on all the lights in the house.Warm tones and cool tones of light are intertwined, illuminating the entire room brightly.
He Jiuzhong looked at Ye Changsheng, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you turning on so many lights?"
Ye Changsheng came to him and sat down, hugged a pillow in his arms, looked at him with a smile and explained: "Keep away ghosts and evil spirits. Aren't those dirty things in the legend afraid of seeing the light? It’s an old custom handed down from feudal society.”
He Jiuzhong raised his lips, and asked him jokingly, "You're just dealing with ghosts and gods, why do you still believe this when it's over?"
Ye Changsheng was overjoyed: "Of course it's because I cherish my life! It's better to believe something than nothing. What if it's actually useful?"
He Jiuzhong was noncommittal about this.
Listening to the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, the two of them sat together for a while and got tired of it. Seeing that the time was almost up, they turned on the TV and tuned the channel to the central one, then swiped their phones while waiting for the show to start.
The guests of the Spring Festival Gala have changed one crop after another, but the recipe is still the same old.
The singing and dancing are quite satisfactory, I can't say what's good, but I can't say what's bad.The first half of several language programs can still make people laugh, but the second half of the forced positive energy chicken soup pours down head-on, making people feel a little tired in an instant.
He Jiuzhong had never seen such a gala format before, and it was interesting to watch it, but Ye Changsheng, who had been baptized by the Spring Festival Gala for so many years, looked dull, it was not yet ten o'clock, watching the TV show Singing and dancing, I just felt drowsy for a while.
The chick closed his eyes and nodded his head as if he was pecking rice, and then he lowered his head to a certain level, and his whole body sank, then he woke up again immediately.
Scratching his head, he struggled to open his eyes and watch TV for a while. After a while, fierce drowsiness surged up, and his eyes gradually closed again.The head was bit by bit, and then woke up again.
Repeatedly.
He Jiuzhong, who was originally watching TV intently, was finally attracted by Ye Changsheng's sleepy appearance. He tilted his head and looked at him playfully for a while, waiting for a few reincarnations. , he said to Ye Changsheng who had just woken up: "Why are you so sleepy all of a sudden today?"
Ye Changsheng looked at him sideways, his eyes were slightly red due to lack of sleep, he stretched his waist and sighed: "Probably the TV program is too boring, I feel sleepy immediately after listening to the movement in it."
He Jiuzhong raised his brows: "I see you were excited and waited expectantly, but you didn't feel that way."
"I thought, maybe this year's Spring Festival Gala will be a little more interesting?" Ye Changsheng held his chin, then shook his head bitterly, "He has lived up to my expectations!"
He Jiuzhong reached out and pinched his cheek, couldn't help but leaned over and exchanged a kiss with him.
Just a kiss, the lips gently rubbed against his lips, and whispered: "Since you are sleepy, go to sleep."
Ye Changsheng blinked, pushed the head away a little, looked at him in surprise and said, "How could you intentionally use things like sleeping to lure me away from my Spring Festival Gala?"
"Although it is boring, chicken soup, old-fashioned and boring, it is a kind of belief!" Ye Changsheng said, "In the past so many years, because no one worked hard together, I have never been able to finish watching the Spring Festival Gala. It is rare this year You are here, what reason do I have to go to bed early?"
He Jiuzhong raised his eyebrows: "You still have faith."
Ye Changsheng nodded resolutely: "Yes."
The lip curled up and smiled, and stretched out his hand to hug the young man beside him into his arms.
His chin rested lightly on the top of his head, and the tip of his nose could still smell the strong aroma of shampoo. He lowered his eyes, and from his own perspective, he could only see Ye Chang's long eyelashes and a straight nose below: "Then Just keep watching."
Although He Jiuzhong's facial features were cold and his face was a bit indifferent because he often had no expression, but his arms were very warm.
Ye Changsheng leaned back, groped to find the most comfortable position in his arms, and then moved his gaze back to the TV that was playing the song and dance program. For a moment, he felt more sleepy because of the excessive comfort.
He closed his eyes and rubbed against the arms of the person behind him, complaining in a sleepy voice: "Did you do it on purpose?"
He Jiuzhong smiled softly, and the vibration of his voice was transmitted to Ye Changsheng immediately through the place where the two touched: "Well, on purpose."
Ye Changsheng felt that he should get up immediately to condemn He Jiuzhong's shameless use of sugar-coated shells to confuse him, but helplessly, the temperature in his arms was so comfortable that he was a little reluctant to leave for a moment.
Forget it, forgive him this time.
Ye Changsheng thought so, and then obediently and happily surrendered to He Jiuzhong's sugar-coated cannonball, moved in her arms, and was about to find a suitable position to fall asleep again.
Sitting sideways on his lap, leaning his face to pillow on his chest, he put his hands around his waist and hugged him weakly, reminding: "Don't watch TV, you still have to watch the age. Twelve Remember to wake me up before midnight to watch the new year!"
He Jiuzhong inserted a hand into Ye Changsheng's hair, combed his soft hair carefully, and said softly, "Yes."
Ye Changsheng, who got the promise, seemed relieved, and rubbed against his chest lightly. After a while, he muttered, "I can hear your heartbeat..."
He Jiuzhong lowered his eyes to look at him: "Are you noisy?"
With her eyes closed, the corners of her lips slightly curved upwards in a small arc: "Mmm."
His voice was very soft and weak, as if he was already whispering in his sleep: "I like the sound of your heartbeat."
He Jiuzhong paused for a moment with the hand that was running through Ye Changsheng's hair, and then, looking at the young man nestled in his arms, already breathing deeply, the warmth in his eyes mixed with a smile, bit by bit, It's almost overflowing.
This person Ye Changsheng, once or twice, I don't know if he is on purpose or what.
—he always knew what he said would please him, and was obviously not stingy about it.
Fingers slid down his hair and fell on his white side face, gently rubbed with fingertips, feeling the delicateness that makes people linger: No, or it's just because these words were said by Ye Changsheng Why is he so happy?
As He Jiuzhong thought about it, his lips couldn't stop falling into a shallow arc.
As it approached twelve o'clock, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside gradually increased again.Seeing that it was less than 10 minutes before twelve o'clock, He Jiuzhong reached out and scratched Ye Changsheng's chin, waking him up from his sleep.
Ye Changsheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and looked at He Jiuzhong with sleepy eyes, his eyes were dull, it seemed that he hadn't fully woken up yet.
He Jiuzhong seldom saw Ye Changsheng like this, so he lowered his head and pecked him on the lips, reminding him, "It's almost time, didn't you say you want to watch the year?"
Ye Changsheng seemed to be responding to what He Jiuzhong was saying. After about ten seconds, the other end blinked, and then he woke up instantly: "Oh, yes. You must watch the year!"
As he said that, he felt sitting up from the man's arms, and turned his attention to the TV again.
The previous programs have come to an end, and several hosts are standing in a row and expressing their best wishes for the new year with smiles on their faces.The countdown starts from the word "ten", and the sound of the neat countdown is transmitted through the TV, one by one, for some reason, it makes people feel a little nervous.
"five four three two one!"
The sound of firecrackers outside exploded loudly, almost waking up the whole city.The sky filled with fireworks one after another, blooming one by one in the dark night sky, almost turning the night into day.
Ye Changsheng turned around, held He Jiuzhong's face in both hands, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year my dear, we must continue to be happy and sweet in the new year."
He Jiuzhong smiled lowly, then nodded slightly to meet the gaze from the other end.
Jumping off He Jiuzhong, the programs that continued to play on the TV completely lost their appeal to him at the moment.Reaching out to turn off the TV, he waved to the other end and said, "Go back to the house and sleep. Tomorrow is the first day of the new year. On the first day of the new year, the sound of firecrackers will probably be heard from the early morning to noon. Before I can sleep It's better to sleep more when you can sleep."
After speaking, they took He Jiuzhong and went back to the bedroom together.
It's just that I don't know whether it's because the firecrackers outside are too noisy or the lights in the room are too dazzling. The heavy sleepiness that was originally heavy when Ye Changsheng really lay down, disappeared immediately.
After turning over on the bed a few times but still not feeling sleepy, Ye Changsheng turned sideways helplessly, looked at He Jiuzhong who was lying next to him, stretched out his hand to poke him, and blinked at the scarlet eyes looking over from the other end. Lowering his eyes, he said aggrievedly, "I can't sleep."
He Jiuzhong raised his brows slightly, glanced at him and said, "Didn't you just say that there will be a lot of noise on the first day of the new year, so you will race against time to catch up on sleep?"
"Yes, I said it." Ye Changsheng looked at him and said confidently, "But I just can't sleep."
He Jiuzhong turned sideways, looked at him face to face, raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "Then what do you want to do? Let me tell you a bedtime story?"
Ye Changsheng immediately stepped on the pole: "Okay, okay."
He Jiuzhong stared at him with half-cast eyes, but saw that the other end did not hide or dodge, and the corners of his dark eyes looked straight at him with some expectation. After a while, he stretched out his hand and squeezed his cheek Chin, said lightly: "What do you want to hear?"
Ye Changsheng tilted his head: "Tell me about your world."
He Jiuzhong paused, looked at him and said, "Do you really want to listen?"
Ye Changsheng smiled and asked back: "Can't you listen?"
He Jiuzhong's expression seemed a little subtle: "Actually, there is nothing to say..."
"Then choose what you want to talk about." Ye Changsheng interrupted He Jiuzhong, and said with a smile, "I want to hear it."
He Jiuzhong stared at the smiling face over there for a long time, lay on his back, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the chandelier on the ceiling and said slowly: "Do you still remember what I told you about the injury I had when I first came here? How did it come here?"
Ye Changsheng thought for a while and said, "When you were crossing the catastrophe, were the famous monks on the right path sneaking up on you?"
He Jiuzhong responded, and recalled: "The crime they charged me that day was killing my father and mother, falling into the demon clan, and embarrassing Wan Jianzong."
Ye Changsheng asked: "Then what is the truth?"
He Jiuzhong laughed softly: "Actually, what they said is correct - my biological parents were indeed killed by my own hands. Similarly, it is precisely because of this that I was able to successfully fall into the devil."
Ye Changsheng turned over and lay on the bed, then raised his upper body with his hands and looked towards him: "What's going on?"
He Jiuzhong squinted at his eyes that were still clear and bright when he looked at him with the end of his eyes, and after a while he said lightly: "I am not born in Kyushu, but a monk from a branch of the He family in Kyushu. During the experience in the secular world, she was born to Yueniang, the most famous prostitute in the secular world at that time."
"It's just that the monks in Kyushu just wanted to come to the secular world to have fun, and they would leave when the time came. But the famous prostitute in the secular world accidentally became pregnant. The old lady ordered her to have an abortion when she found out that she was pregnant, but she didn't want to." willing."
Ye Changsheng looked at He Jiuzhong's slightly sarcastic expression, thought for a while and guessed: "She wants someone from the He family to take you to Kyushu after giving birth to you?"
He Jiuzhong raised his eyes to look at Ye Changsheng, and said nothing, acquiescing to his conjecture.
"I don't want to speculate whether it's because she fell in love with that monk, or because she fell in love with his status as an 'Immortal of Nine Provinces'. Anyway, relying on her popularity at the time, she actually turned out to be the child in her belly. Stayed - but from then on, the nightmare began."
"Because of her pregnancy and childbirth, Yueniang's figure and appearance were not as good as before. During the half a year when she didn't pick up customers, the young and good-looking youngsters around her also began to show their prominence. She was quickly attracted by everyone. Abandoned by her benefactors, she can only be arranged to pick up those guests that she didn't even bother to look at before."
"So ever since that child was born, she began to harbor resentment, and tried to abuse him in different ways. She secretly pricked his finger with a silver needle, or fed him rice cereal mixed with chili, or In the coldest time, she took off his thin jacket and let it blow out in the air—when she found out that no matter how much she tossed about that child, she would not be easily killed, and she began to intensify her efforts."
Ye Changsheng frowned slightly, and a sharp look flashed across his eyes for an instant.
"It's just that she didn't expect that a child who was just born would already have memories of the outside world almost on the first day after birth."
He Jiuzhong narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, "One year, two years, five years. The monk from back then never came to look for her again... Just when she was about to despair, Kyushu suddenly came A letter from the man."
Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said, "He knows you exist?"
He Jiuzhong turned his head to look at him: "You can imagine him to be a little worse."
Ye Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, before realizing: "You mean—"
He Jiuzhong hooked his lips: "The reason why he left temporarily back then was also because he had already found out that Yueniang was pregnant. The pitiful and ridiculous side still can't understand. In the days of the secular world, he thought every day that he could make her pregnant. The man took her to the Kyushu, and if he could get a little elixir to cleanse the marrow and build a foundation, then she would be completely out of the woods."
Looking at He Jiuzhong's appearance, Ye Changsheng naturally knew that the matter on the other side was not so simple, so he asked, "What about after that?"
He Jiuzhong said: "After that? After that, the man really took us back to the mansion. However, he took us back to the mansion not because he remembered that he was ashamed of this pair of mother and son after many years, but because of the He family. Because of an accident, the eldest grandson’s spiritual root was damaged, and now it is necessary to remove a few children with high spiritual root fitness from the side branches, and let them be used as furnaces to treat the young master of the family.”
"The man just got married and has no heirs. But this time, as long as he donates a child, he will be favored by his family. This opportunity cannot be missed no matter what. That's why he thought of the seed he left behind in the secular world."
Ye Changsheng frowned even tighter: "Then Yueniang—"
He Jiuzhong glanced at him, with a smile that was not a smile: "The man gave her a elixir, which is not a rare treasure that can make you live forever, but a low-grade beauty pill, and she happily handed over the child. .From the beginning to the end, she didn't hesitate at all, she just wondered if the man could give me more pills."
He sat up slowly, leaning against the head of the bed, and stretched out his hands around Ye Changsheng's soft hair: "Together with me, three boys were selected from the branch family. My spiritual roots are fire and thunder, and my spiritual roots are fire and thunder. The 'water' of the young master's master is in the opposite direction, so it can be regarded as saving his life. I don't remember the other two children, and I haven't seen them again within a month."
Ye Changsheng said in a deep voice: "Using the soul blood of the descendants of the same clan to warm and nourish the meridians of the spiritual roots, regardless of whether they are successful or not, they are not afraid of being too evil. The young master's life is too light to be suppressed, but his life is shortened count?"
"Probably not afraid." He Jiuzhong felt the feeling of the half-length short hair slipping in his hands, and said lightly, "Later, my family saw that I was really useless, and after two months, I was let out again." They sent me back to the man's mansion."
"I failed to die to save the young master of my family, so that he could use my family's relationship in it to get better resources and medicines. This made the man very annoyed when he went further on the road of cultivating immortals. After seeing me off, he led me to the ancestral hall, and whipped me ten times in front of everyone. Yueniang was there too, and she didn't even dare to look at me, for fear that the man's anger would hurt her. , and send her back to the dunya.”
He Jiuzhong seemed to be recalling the scene bit by bit, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and something very deep was shining in his scarlet eyes: "Is the magic weapon of the Xian family even a little bit more powerful than that of the ordinary world?" Ordinary whips that don’t have any are much more powerful, and only ten whips almost killed me.”
"Fortunately, my life has always been tough."
When He Jiuzhong said this, he said lightly: "Later, I was selected by Wan Jianzong to be a disciple, and when I met them again, it was already 50 years later when I was kicked out by Wan Jianzong's abolished inner alchemy. gone."
Ye Changsheng and He Jiuzhong's plain narration could almost immediately guess what happened next.
"What did they... do to you?"
He Jiuzhong hooked his lips: "'Wan Jianzong' is one of the best cultivating sects in Kyushu. Even the He family will be courteous when they see the disciples under the elders of the sect. They dare not offend Wan Jianzong. I'm afraid that a random sneeze from that end will knock them out of their wits."
"The inner alchemy was abolished by Wan Jianzong and driven out. Wan Jianzong declared to the world that I would not be allowed to live in the world. They received this news. In order to show their goodwill to Wan Jianzong and show their sincerity, they naturally We should use my 'abandoned child' as the entry point."
He Jiuzhong lowered his eyes, and after a while, he sneered in a low voice, and said, "That was probably the only time I ever saw in my life, the enthusiasm that Yueniang and that man showed when they faced me - although in the end it was just to persuade me. I drank the poisoned wine, so I could take the opportunity to kill my disguise."
Ye Changsheng said: "So you killed them?"
He Jiuzhong seemed to be thinking of something, and his expression was full of satisfaction and joy: "I tore open that man's chest, pulled his heart out with my own hands, and threw it in front of Yueniang—didn't she once say that she wanted it?" That man's heart, after all, is the last wish before death, as her thank you gift for bringing me into this world, I should satisfy her no matter what the reason is."
"—except that she doesn't look very happy."
He Jiuzhong said: "She was very scared, and her screams seemed to knock off the roof of the house. I thought she was making too much noise, so I twisted her throat." He said, "After that, I successfully fell into the devil Yes. Perhaps compared to cultivation, cultivating demons is really more suitable for me. I have never encountered all the bottlenecks and inner demons that I will encounter after falling from a monk. "
He Jiuzhong spread his hands, looked at the small flames that burst out from his palms, raised his lips and said to Ye Changsheng: "If my inner alchemy hadn't been completely broken, I would even doubt whether I was real or not. Have you ever been to Wan Jianzong and cultivated some immortals?"
The sound of firecrackers outside had gradually stopped, and no one in the room spoke for a while, and silence spread in the small space.
After a while, He Jiuzhong put away his hands, turned sideways, pinched Ye Changsheng's chin, looked at him with a faint smile and said, "I told you before, my story will not be a good one. What, Do you regret listening?"
Ye Changsheng was silent for a long time, raised his eyes and looked at him, smiled and said: "After all, you want to tell me. I want to know everything about you. It's just..."
He Jiu looked at him: "Just what?"
"Are you in pain?"
Ye Changsheng's abrupt question made He Jiuzhong startled slightly.
Afterwards, his brows and eyes widened, and he raised his lips with an unusually calm expression: "It's been too long, even they have been dead for hundreds of years, I don't remember whether it hurts or not."
He pursed his lips, took He Jiuzhong's hand that was pinching his chin with both hands, then sat up, leaned slightly towards the person beside him, and gently pressed his forehead against his forehead.
Looking at the pair of scarlet eyes that seemed to have calmed down so close, he held his hands against his chest and said with a sigh: "He Jiuzhong, I feel a little uncomfortable here."
The breath carries the heat of each other's body temperature, blending with a little different kind of warmth.
The hand that was held against the man's heart was a little hot, and through the thin pajamas, one could feel the beating heart under the skin.One click, one click, strong and powerful.
He Jiuzhong heard the man's voice was extremely low and soft, if it wasn't for the close proximity, it would have been hard to hear clearly.
"—but I hurt."
He Jiuzhong's eyes suddenly sank.
Obviously it was a long time ago.
It is obvious that he can't even be called the demon in the past.
Obviously he can calmly put this past as a story on the table.
——Obviously he really doesn't feel any pain anymore.
He Jiuzhong slowly reached out and hugged the person in front of him into his arms. His voice was hoarse: "Everyone thinks that I killed my father and mother, devoid of humanity, and disregarded human relations. The monk hates me and fears me. They regard me as a fierce ghost Shura; the demons fear me, respect me, and regard me as the supreme demon. However, no one has ever come to me and asked me, 'Is there another reason for you to kill them?'."
Ye Changsheng also hugged him back, and after a while, he murmured in his arms: "If God could give you another chance, would you choose to explain to them?"
He Jiuzhong smiled slightly: "Why bother?"
"Those who believe will naturally believe. For those who don't, no matter how much you explain, it's just a sophistry of wolf ambition." He looked at Ye Changsheng for a long time, and said lightly, "There are people who can make me willing to explain. You alone are enough."
Ye Changsheng also looked at him. After a long time, he curled his lips and smiled, "After listening to the story, I feel sleepy now. Let's go to sleep."
As he spoke, he pulled He Jiuzhong to lie down, leaned closer to the other end, and pressed his head gently on the man's chest.Listening to that heartbeat sound after another, full of strength, my heart suddenly became very peaceful.
"I really like the sound of your heartbeat." Ye Changsheng closed his eyes, his voice was a little leisurely and satisfied, "From now on, it will belong to me."
"He Jiuzhong."
Ye Changsheng called his name with a slight trailing sound in his voice.
He Jiuzhong looked down at him.
The boy on the other end had his eyes closed, with delicate eyebrows and eyes on his snow-white skin, a straight nose, and a pair of rosy lips that were curved upwards in a nice curve.
"You belong to me too."
He Jiuzhong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Shouldn't I be the one who said this to you?"
When Ye Changsheng heard the words, he leaned on him and laughed, and after a while, nodded: "Okay, I'm not at a loss in this way."
Laughed for a while, then said softly, "Good night."
He Jiuzhong raised the corners of his lips, pinched his neck lightly with his fingers, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Go to sleep."
Early the next morning, Ye Changsheng was awakened by the continuous and deafening sound of firecrackers outside the house.He opened his eyes and looked at the time in a daze, and it was not even six o'clock.
The sky outside was still a little dark, he lifted the quilt on his side and sat up for a while, then put on his slippers and rubbed his eyes while walking towards the washstand.
He Jiuzhong raised his eyelids, looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Ye Changsheng yawned a little, and said sleepily, "Wash your face and brush your teeth... While it's still early, the two of us will go to the nearby temple to worship later. By the way, please have a stick of incense."
He Jiuzhong raised his brows, as if he thought it was a little funny: "The temple belongs to the Buddha, and your way belongs to the Tao. Even if it is not opposite, there should be a boundary between the two, right? You don't pay attention at all."
Ye Changsheng stood outside in thin pajamas and was a little sober from the cold. He turned his head and looked at He Jiuzhong who was on the bed, and said confidently: "Who says I belong to the 'Tao', I am obviously a magic stick!"
He walked out again wearing slippers, and the voice came from the direction of the living room indistinctly: "And who stipulated that Taoists can't believe in Buddhism? Now everyone pays attention to Buddhism and Taoism, regardless of family!
It’s not a day or two since I went to pray to God and worship Buddha. Do you remember the mahogany door that you broke with your bare hands when you came to my house on the first day? "
Ye Changsheng's words instantly awakened He Jiuzhong's memory.
He sat up, squinting his eyes and remembering the first time he met him.The young man was wearing short sleeves and shorts, which were very weird and inappropriate in his eyes. His hair was a little messy and he was not wearing shoes. He stood bare on the ground with a pair of white and tender feet. Sometimes, the sadness and complaints on the face are so thick that they almost turn into entities and overflow.
He Jiuzhong also lifted the quilt and got up, walked from the bedroom to the sliding door between the washstand and the living room, leaned on the door frame and looked at Ye Changsheng who was brushing his teeth, and then responded with a half-smile: "Well, You also asked me to pay for your door."
Ye Changsheng raised his head, smiled and gave the person behind him a look through the mirror in front of him, because he was brushing his teeth with a mouthful of toothpaste foam in his mouth, his voice seemed a bit vague: "You speak lightly, you know how much I am Is it troublesome to get such a door? I have to find the best peach wood first, and then send it to the temple with the best incense for 49 days. I have to ask the respected old host to consecrate me personally. It took a lot of time before and after. , It also cost me a lot of money to manage it."
He Jiuzhong walked over and put one arm around his waist weakly from behind, and looked at him sideways: "When you went to the temple to worship Buddha, most of the time you asked for peace of life, so what are you doing now? "
Ye Changsheng spit out the foam in his mouth, rinsed his mouth again, then turned his head, and said to He Jiuzhong very seriously: "Of course it is because of faith!"
He Jiuzhong couldn't help laughing, looked at him playfully and said, "Now your belief is worthless."
Ye Changsheng chuckled, took a towel and washed his face again, then squeezed toothpaste on He Jiuzhong's toothbrush and handed it to him: "Let's move faster, the sky is not completely bright in the morning, and the traffic jam on the road will be better. Let's go and come back!"
He Jiuzhong raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
After washing, I changed my clothes again. Since the temple I was going to was only an hour and a half away from here, the two of them went straight there without having breakfast.
Although they arrived not too late, the small temple on the mountainside was already crowded with pilgrims who came from all directions.
Ye Changsheng bought some incense in the shop next to him, and handed over one with the words "All wishes come true" on it: "I've already arrived here, so it's okay to join in the fun. You also go in and pay your respects."
He Jiuzhong looked at the incense in his hand, with a delicate expression: "Your gods and Buddhas here can even control other worlds?"
Ye Changsheng blinked, and argued, "How do you know if you don't try? Look, you were dragged here from another world by me...cough."
He Jiuzhong thought for a while, and was surprised to find that he was really persuaded by Ye Changsheng.
Seeing He Jiuzhong's silence, Ye Changsheng automatically understood that he had acquiesced.The two people lit the incense they had invited outside the temple, bowed, and threw it into the big incense burner outside, and then followed the crowd to the temple again.
He Jiuzhong watched Ye Changsheng knelt in front of the futon, closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, meditated something, then bowed respectfully three times, and then devoutly took out a coin from his pocket and put it into the merit box, he couldn't help but smile for a moment.
"I see that other pilgrims put dozens and hundreds of coins in the merit box. How come you only have one coin?"
Ye Changsheng squinted at him, and there was a sense of surprise in his eyes, "You ordinary man who smells of copper": "It doesn't matter, anyway, gods and Buddhas don't need to spend money, what's the difference between one yuan and 100 yuan? The important thing is the heart." !"
He Jiuzhong smiled, "Then your intentions seem to be very sincere."
Ye Changsheng nodded: "If I rely on this alone, then I will definitely not lose."
Saying that, he and He Jiuzhong were going to follow the crowd and go out of the temple again.
At the exit, there were faithful men and women who were asking for a lottery in front of an old monk. He Jiuzhong saw it and looked aside with a bit of teasing: "It's not a trigram?"
Ye Changsheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't believe this."
He Jiuzhong seemed a little surprised: "Oh?"
Ye Changsheng was serious: "In a person's life, although many fears come from the unknown, don't the more fun and surprises also come from the unknown?"
Xianfeng finished what he said just now, and couldn't help lowering his voice secretly: "Besides, I am a fortune-teller myself, don't I know the twists and turns in their drawing lots? It's all a lie Things, why do you want to give money to these Buddhists!"
Then he complained and said angrily: "The money they charge is more expensive than what I charge!"
He Jiuzhong looked at Ye Changsheng, who was filled with righteous indignation, and nodded very clearly, but then couldn't help reminding: "But you just said that Buddhism and Taoism do not separate families about an hour ago."
Ye Changsheng gave him a look of resentment, and tapped the blackboard to mark the key point: "Nonsense, is this my key? My key is to ask for expensive lottery here! A lottery will cost at least one or two hundred!"
As they said that, the two of them had already left the temple and walked towards the foot of the mountain, trying to stop another car from the road.
"Also, if but compared to fortune-telling, I don't think anyone can compare to my master."
While stopping the car, Ye Changsheng suddenly said again: "It's just that, even if it's him, wouldn't he be wrong when he tells my fortune?"
He Jiuzhong looked sideways at Ye Changsheng's direction, facing a pair of pure black eyes with a faint smile: "So, well, what kind of fate is it?"
He Jiuzhong lowered his eyes halfway to ponder his words, and after a while he also raised his lips and smiled: "That's true."
It was only 08:30 when the two returned to the house.
I brought some breakfast from downstairs and went back to fill my stomach. Ye Changsheng was sitting on the sofa with nothing to do, thinking about whether to take advantage of the quietness of the moment and then lie down and go back to sleep. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside. .
He walked over and opened the door, and outside was Qin Lu's delicately made-up face.
Qin Lu looked at Ye Changsheng, slightly hooked his lips and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, Master Ye."
Ye Changsheng also smiled and nodded quickly and said: "Happy New Year!" He said curiously, "Miss Qin must be very busy recently, why do you have time to come to my place to pay New Year's greetings? - Come in and sit down Sit down?"
Hearing Ye Changsheng's ridicule, Qin Lu's eyes flickered with annoyance and sharpness when she thought of those cheap brothers of hers after the will was announced these days and the ghosts and monsters around her who didn't know where to come out of nowhere, but then she was forced by herself After getting down, he waved his hand at Ye Changsheng and said, "I just came out to do some errands. I happened to pass by Ye Tianshi. I just stopped by to say hello. I won't go in and sit this time."
After pinning the hair on the side of his face, he smiled and said, "I have already ordered the accountant to transfer the agreed amount to your account, and it should be credited in the afternoon at the latest."
Ye Changsheng blinked, and immediately smiled: "Oh, how embarrassing that is. On the first day of the new year, this is Miss Qin... Oh, no, it should be called Mr. Qin, is it the red envelope given by Mr. Qin?"
Qin Lu was amused by Ye Changsheng's appearance: "Those are your rewards, how can they be called red envelopes?" After a short pause, he continued, "But speaking of red envelopes, I really prepared them for Ye Tianshi. for a moment."
Ye Changsheng moved his eyes and looked towards Qin Lu.
"I heard later that Ye Tianshi originally planned to take a vacation before the year to go outside
Seeing that it was getting dark, Ye Changsheng got up and turned on all the lights in the house.Warm tones and cool tones of light are intertwined, illuminating the entire room brightly.
He Jiuzhong looked at Ye Changsheng, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you turning on so many lights?"
Ye Changsheng came to him and sat down, hugged a pillow in his arms, looked at him with a smile and explained: "Keep away ghosts and evil spirits. Aren't those dirty things in the legend afraid of seeing the light? It’s an old custom handed down from feudal society.”
He Jiuzhong raised his lips, and asked him jokingly, "You're just dealing with ghosts and gods, why do you still believe this when it's over?"
Ye Changsheng was overjoyed: "Of course it's because I cherish my life! It's better to believe something than nothing. What if it's actually useful?"
He Jiuzhong was noncommittal about this.
Listening to the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, the two of them sat together for a while and got tired of it. Seeing that the time was almost up, they turned on the TV and tuned the channel to the central one, then swiped their phones while waiting for the show to start.
The guests of the Spring Festival Gala have changed one crop after another, but the recipe is still the same old.
The singing and dancing are quite satisfactory, I can't say what's good, but I can't say what's bad.The first half of several language programs can still make people laugh, but the second half of the forced positive energy chicken soup pours down head-on, making people feel a little tired in an instant.
He Jiuzhong had never seen such a gala format before, and it was interesting to watch it, but Ye Changsheng, who had been baptized by the Spring Festival Gala for so many years, looked dull, it was not yet ten o'clock, watching the TV show Singing and dancing, I just felt drowsy for a while.
The chick closed his eyes and nodded his head as if he was pecking rice, and then he lowered his head to a certain level, and his whole body sank, then he woke up again immediately.
Scratching his head, he struggled to open his eyes and watch TV for a while. After a while, fierce drowsiness surged up, and his eyes gradually closed again.The head was bit by bit, and then woke up again.
Repeatedly.
He Jiuzhong, who was originally watching TV intently, was finally attracted by Ye Changsheng's sleepy appearance. He tilted his head and looked at him playfully for a while, waiting for a few reincarnations. , he said to Ye Changsheng who had just woken up: "Why are you so sleepy all of a sudden today?"
Ye Changsheng looked at him sideways, his eyes were slightly red due to lack of sleep, he stretched his waist and sighed: "Probably the TV program is too boring, I feel sleepy immediately after listening to the movement in it."
He Jiuzhong raised his brows: "I see you were excited and waited expectantly, but you didn't feel that way."
"I thought, maybe this year's Spring Festival Gala will be a little more interesting?" Ye Changsheng held his chin, then shook his head bitterly, "He has lived up to my expectations!"
He Jiuzhong reached out and pinched his cheek, couldn't help but leaned over and exchanged a kiss with him.
Just a kiss, the lips gently rubbed against his lips, and whispered: "Since you are sleepy, go to sleep."
Ye Changsheng blinked, pushed the head away a little, looked at him in surprise and said, "How could you intentionally use things like sleeping to lure me away from my Spring Festival Gala?"
"Although it is boring, chicken soup, old-fashioned and boring, it is a kind of belief!" Ye Changsheng said, "In the past so many years, because no one worked hard together, I have never been able to finish watching the Spring Festival Gala. It is rare this year You are here, what reason do I have to go to bed early?"
He Jiuzhong raised his eyebrows: "You still have faith."
Ye Changsheng nodded resolutely: "Yes."
The lip curled up and smiled, and stretched out his hand to hug the young man beside him into his arms.
His chin rested lightly on the top of his head, and the tip of his nose could still smell the strong aroma of shampoo. He lowered his eyes, and from his own perspective, he could only see Ye Chang's long eyelashes and a straight nose below: "Then Just keep watching."
Although He Jiuzhong's facial features were cold and his face was a bit indifferent because he often had no expression, but his arms were very warm.
Ye Changsheng leaned back, groped to find the most comfortable position in his arms, and then moved his gaze back to the TV that was playing the song and dance program. For a moment, he felt more sleepy because of the excessive comfort.
He closed his eyes and rubbed against the arms of the person behind him, complaining in a sleepy voice: "Did you do it on purpose?"
He Jiuzhong smiled softly, and the vibration of his voice was transmitted to Ye Changsheng immediately through the place where the two touched: "Well, on purpose."
Ye Changsheng felt that he should get up immediately to condemn He Jiuzhong's shameless use of sugar-coated shells to confuse him, but helplessly, the temperature in his arms was so comfortable that he was a little reluctant to leave for a moment.
Forget it, forgive him this time.
Ye Changsheng thought so, and then obediently and happily surrendered to He Jiuzhong's sugar-coated cannonball, moved in her arms, and was about to find a suitable position to fall asleep again.
Sitting sideways on his lap, leaning his face to pillow on his chest, he put his hands around his waist and hugged him weakly, reminding: "Don't watch TV, you still have to watch the age. Twelve Remember to wake me up before midnight to watch the new year!"
He Jiuzhong inserted a hand into Ye Changsheng's hair, combed his soft hair carefully, and said softly, "Yes."
Ye Changsheng, who got the promise, seemed relieved, and rubbed against his chest lightly. After a while, he muttered, "I can hear your heartbeat..."
He Jiuzhong lowered his eyes to look at him: "Are you noisy?"
With her eyes closed, the corners of her lips slightly curved upwards in a small arc: "Mmm."
His voice was very soft and weak, as if he was already whispering in his sleep: "I like the sound of your heartbeat."
He Jiuzhong paused for a moment with the hand that was running through Ye Changsheng's hair, and then, looking at the young man nestled in his arms, already breathing deeply, the warmth in his eyes mixed with a smile, bit by bit, It's almost overflowing.
This person Ye Changsheng, once or twice, I don't know if he is on purpose or what.
—he always knew what he said would please him, and was obviously not stingy about it.
Fingers slid down his hair and fell on his white side face, gently rubbed with fingertips, feeling the delicateness that makes people linger: No, or it's just because these words were said by Ye Changsheng Why is he so happy?
As He Jiuzhong thought about it, his lips couldn't stop falling into a shallow arc.
As it approached twelve o'clock, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside gradually increased again.Seeing that it was less than 10 minutes before twelve o'clock, He Jiuzhong reached out and scratched Ye Changsheng's chin, waking him up from his sleep.
Ye Changsheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and looked at He Jiuzhong with sleepy eyes, his eyes were dull, it seemed that he hadn't fully woken up yet.
He Jiuzhong seldom saw Ye Changsheng like this, so he lowered his head and pecked him on the lips, reminding him, "It's almost time, didn't you say you want to watch the year?"
Ye Changsheng seemed to be responding to what He Jiuzhong was saying. After about ten seconds, the other end blinked, and then he woke up instantly: "Oh, yes. You must watch the year!"
As he said that, he felt sitting up from the man's arms, and turned his attention to the TV again.
The previous programs have come to an end, and several hosts are standing in a row and expressing their best wishes for the new year with smiles on their faces.The countdown starts from the word "ten", and the sound of the neat countdown is transmitted through the TV, one by one, for some reason, it makes people feel a little nervous.
"five four three two one!"
The sound of firecrackers outside exploded loudly, almost waking up the whole city.The sky filled with fireworks one after another, blooming one by one in the dark night sky, almost turning the night into day.
Ye Changsheng turned around, held He Jiuzhong's face in both hands, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year my dear, we must continue to be happy and sweet in the new year."
He Jiuzhong smiled lowly, then nodded slightly to meet the gaze from the other end.
Jumping off He Jiuzhong, the programs that continued to play on the TV completely lost their appeal to him at the moment.Reaching out to turn off the TV, he waved to the other end and said, "Go back to the house and sleep. Tomorrow is the first day of the new year. On the first day of the new year, the sound of firecrackers will probably be heard from the early morning to noon. Before I can sleep It's better to sleep more when you can sleep."
After speaking, they took He Jiuzhong and went back to the bedroom together.
It's just that I don't know whether it's because the firecrackers outside are too noisy or the lights in the room are too dazzling. The heavy sleepiness that was originally heavy when Ye Changsheng really lay down, disappeared immediately.
After turning over on the bed a few times but still not feeling sleepy, Ye Changsheng turned sideways helplessly, looked at He Jiuzhong who was lying next to him, stretched out his hand to poke him, and blinked at the scarlet eyes looking over from the other end. Lowering his eyes, he said aggrievedly, "I can't sleep."
He Jiuzhong raised his brows slightly, glanced at him and said, "Didn't you just say that there will be a lot of noise on the first day of the new year, so you will race against time to catch up on sleep?"
"Yes, I said it." Ye Changsheng looked at him and said confidently, "But I just can't sleep."
He Jiuzhong turned sideways, looked at him face to face, raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "Then what do you want to do? Let me tell you a bedtime story?"
Ye Changsheng immediately stepped on the pole: "Okay, okay."
He Jiuzhong stared at him with half-cast eyes, but saw that the other end did not hide or dodge, and the corners of his dark eyes looked straight at him with some expectation. After a while, he stretched out his hand and squeezed his cheek Chin, said lightly: "What do you want to hear?"
Ye Changsheng tilted his head: "Tell me about your world."
He Jiuzhong paused, looked at him and said, "Do you really want to listen?"
Ye Changsheng smiled and asked back: "Can't you listen?"
He Jiuzhong's expression seemed a little subtle: "Actually, there is nothing to say..."
"Then choose what you want to talk about." Ye Changsheng interrupted He Jiuzhong, and said with a smile, "I want to hear it."
He Jiuzhong stared at the smiling face over there for a long time, lay on his back, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the chandelier on the ceiling and said slowly: "Do you still remember what I told you about the injury I had when I first came here? How did it come here?"
Ye Changsheng thought for a while and said, "When you were crossing the catastrophe, were the famous monks on the right path sneaking up on you?"
He Jiuzhong responded, and recalled: "The crime they charged me that day was killing my father and mother, falling into the demon clan, and embarrassing Wan Jianzong."
Ye Changsheng asked: "Then what is the truth?"
He Jiuzhong laughed softly: "Actually, what they said is correct - my biological parents were indeed killed by my own hands. Similarly, it is precisely because of this that I was able to successfully fall into the devil."
Ye Changsheng turned over and lay on the bed, then raised his upper body with his hands and looked towards him: "What's going on?"
He Jiuzhong squinted at his eyes that were still clear and bright when he looked at him with the end of his eyes, and after a while he said lightly: "I am not born in Kyushu, but a monk from a branch of the He family in Kyushu. During the experience in the secular world, she was born to Yueniang, the most famous prostitute in the secular world at that time."
"It's just that the monks in Kyushu just wanted to come to the secular world to have fun, and they would leave when the time came. But the famous prostitute in the secular world accidentally became pregnant. The old lady ordered her to have an abortion when she found out that she was pregnant, but she didn't want to." willing."
Ye Changsheng looked at He Jiuzhong's slightly sarcastic expression, thought for a while and guessed: "She wants someone from the He family to take you to Kyushu after giving birth to you?"
He Jiuzhong raised his eyes to look at Ye Changsheng, and said nothing, acquiescing to his conjecture.
"I don't want to speculate whether it's because she fell in love with that monk, or because she fell in love with his status as an 'Immortal of Nine Provinces'. Anyway, relying on her popularity at the time, she actually turned out to be the child in her belly. Stayed - but from then on, the nightmare began."
"Because of her pregnancy and childbirth, Yueniang's figure and appearance were not as good as before. During the half a year when she didn't pick up customers, the young and good-looking youngsters around her also began to show their prominence. She was quickly attracted by everyone. Abandoned by her benefactors, she can only be arranged to pick up those guests that she didn't even bother to look at before."
"So ever since that child was born, she began to harbor resentment, and tried to abuse him in different ways. She secretly pricked his finger with a silver needle, or fed him rice cereal mixed with chili, or In the coldest time, she took off his thin jacket and let it blow out in the air—when she found out that no matter how much she tossed about that child, she would not be easily killed, and she began to intensify her efforts."
Ye Changsheng frowned slightly, and a sharp look flashed across his eyes for an instant.
"It's just that she didn't expect that a child who was just born would already have memories of the outside world almost on the first day after birth."
He Jiuzhong narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, "One year, two years, five years. The monk from back then never came to look for her again... Just when she was about to despair, Kyushu suddenly came A letter from the man."
Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said, "He knows you exist?"
He Jiuzhong turned his head to look at him: "You can imagine him to be a little worse."
Ye Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, before realizing: "You mean—"
He Jiuzhong hooked his lips: "The reason why he left temporarily back then was also because he had already found out that Yueniang was pregnant. The pitiful and ridiculous side still can't understand. In the days of the secular world, he thought every day that he could make her pregnant. The man took her to the Kyushu, and if he could get a little elixir to cleanse the marrow and build a foundation, then she would be completely out of the woods."
Looking at He Jiuzhong's appearance, Ye Changsheng naturally knew that the matter on the other side was not so simple, so he asked, "What about after that?"
He Jiuzhong said: "After that? After that, the man really took us back to the mansion. However, he took us back to the mansion not because he remembered that he was ashamed of this pair of mother and son after many years, but because of the He family. Because of an accident, the eldest grandson’s spiritual root was damaged, and now it is necessary to remove a few children with high spiritual root fitness from the side branches, and let them be used as furnaces to treat the young master of the family.”
"The man just got married and has no heirs. But this time, as long as he donates a child, he will be favored by his family. This opportunity cannot be missed no matter what. That's why he thought of the seed he left behind in the secular world."
Ye Changsheng frowned even tighter: "Then Yueniang—"
He Jiuzhong glanced at him, with a smile that was not a smile: "The man gave her a elixir, which is not a rare treasure that can make you live forever, but a low-grade beauty pill, and she happily handed over the child. .From the beginning to the end, she didn't hesitate at all, she just wondered if the man could give me more pills."
He sat up slowly, leaning against the head of the bed, and stretched out his hands around Ye Changsheng's soft hair: "Together with me, three boys were selected from the branch family. My spiritual roots are fire and thunder, and my spiritual roots are fire and thunder. The 'water' of the young master's master is in the opposite direction, so it can be regarded as saving his life. I don't remember the other two children, and I haven't seen them again within a month."
Ye Changsheng said in a deep voice: "Using the soul blood of the descendants of the same clan to warm and nourish the meridians of the spiritual roots, regardless of whether they are successful or not, they are not afraid of being too evil. The young master's life is too light to be suppressed, but his life is shortened count?"
"Probably not afraid." He Jiuzhong felt the feeling of the half-length short hair slipping in his hands, and said lightly, "Later, my family saw that I was really useless, and after two months, I was let out again." They sent me back to the man's mansion."
"I failed to die to save the young master of my family, so that he could use my family's relationship in it to get better resources and medicines. This made the man very annoyed when he went further on the road of cultivating immortals. After seeing me off, he led me to the ancestral hall, and whipped me ten times in front of everyone. Yueniang was there too, and she didn't even dare to look at me, for fear that the man's anger would hurt her. , and send her back to the dunya.”
He Jiuzhong seemed to be recalling the scene bit by bit, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and something very deep was shining in his scarlet eyes: "Is the magic weapon of the Xian family even a little bit more powerful than that of the ordinary world?" Ordinary whips that don’t have any are much more powerful, and only ten whips almost killed me.”
"Fortunately, my life has always been tough."
When He Jiuzhong said this, he said lightly: "Later, I was selected by Wan Jianzong to be a disciple, and when I met them again, it was already 50 years later when I was kicked out by Wan Jianzong's abolished inner alchemy. gone."
Ye Changsheng and He Jiuzhong's plain narration could almost immediately guess what happened next.
"What did they... do to you?"
He Jiuzhong hooked his lips: "'Wan Jianzong' is one of the best cultivating sects in Kyushu. Even the He family will be courteous when they see the disciples under the elders of the sect. They dare not offend Wan Jianzong. I'm afraid that a random sneeze from that end will knock them out of their wits."
"The inner alchemy was abolished by Wan Jianzong and driven out. Wan Jianzong declared to the world that I would not be allowed to live in the world. They received this news. In order to show their goodwill to Wan Jianzong and show their sincerity, they naturally We should use my 'abandoned child' as the entry point."
He Jiuzhong lowered his eyes, and after a while, he sneered in a low voice, and said, "That was probably the only time I ever saw in my life, the enthusiasm that Yueniang and that man showed when they faced me - although in the end it was just to persuade me. I drank the poisoned wine, so I could take the opportunity to kill my disguise."
Ye Changsheng said: "So you killed them?"
He Jiuzhong seemed to be thinking of something, and his expression was full of satisfaction and joy: "I tore open that man's chest, pulled his heart out with my own hands, and threw it in front of Yueniang—didn't she once say that she wanted it?" That man's heart, after all, is the last wish before death, as her thank you gift for bringing me into this world, I should satisfy her no matter what the reason is."
"—except that she doesn't look very happy."
He Jiuzhong said: "She was very scared, and her screams seemed to knock off the roof of the house. I thought she was making too much noise, so I twisted her throat." He said, "After that, I successfully fell into the devil Yes. Perhaps compared to cultivation, cultivating demons is really more suitable for me. I have never encountered all the bottlenecks and inner demons that I will encounter after falling from a monk. "
He Jiuzhong spread his hands, looked at the small flames that burst out from his palms, raised his lips and said to Ye Changsheng: "If my inner alchemy hadn't been completely broken, I would even doubt whether I was real or not. Have you ever been to Wan Jianzong and cultivated some immortals?"
The sound of firecrackers outside had gradually stopped, and no one in the room spoke for a while, and silence spread in the small space.
After a while, He Jiuzhong put away his hands, turned sideways, pinched Ye Changsheng's chin, looked at him with a faint smile and said, "I told you before, my story will not be a good one. What, Do you regret listening?"
Ye Changsheng was silent for a long time, raised his eyes and looked at him, smiled and said: "After all, you want to tell me. I want to know everything about you. It's just..."
He Jiu looked at him: "Just what?"
"Are you in pain?"
Ye Changsheng's abrupt question made He Jiuzhong startled slightly.
Afterwards, his brows and eyes widened, and he raised his lips with an unusually calm expression: "It's been too long, even they have been dead for hundreds of years, I don't remember whether it hurts or not."
He pursed his lips, took He Jiuzhong's hand that was pinching his chin with both hands, then sat up, leaned slightly towards the person beside him, and gently pressed his forehead against his forehead.
Looking at the pair of scarlet eyes that seemed to have calmed down so close, he held his hands against his chest and said with a sigh: "He Jiuzhong, I feel a little uncomfortable here."
The breath carries the heat of each other's body temperature, blending with a little different kind of warmth.
The hand that was held against the man's heart was a little hot, and through the thin pajamas, one could feel the beating heart under the skin.One click, one click, strong and powerful.
He Jiuzhong heard the man's voice was extremely low and soft, if it wasn't for the close proximity, it would have been hard to hear clearly.
"—but I hurt."
He Jiuzhong's eyes suddenly sank.
Obviously it was a long time ago.
It is obvious that he can't even be called the demon in the past.
Obviously he can calmly put this past as a story on the table.
——Obviously he really doesn't feel any pain anymore.
He Jiuzhong slowly reached out and hugged the person in front of him into his arms. His voice was hoarse: "Everyone thinks that I killed my father and mother, devoid of humanity, and disregarded human relations. The monk hates me and fears me. They regard me as a fierce ghost Shura; the demons fear me, respect me, and regard me as the supreme demon. However, no one has ever come to me and asked me, 'Is there another reason for you to kill them?'."
Ye Changsheng also hugged him back, and after a while, he murmured in his arms: "If God could give you another chance, would you choose to explain to them?"
He Jiuzhong smiled slightly: "Why bother?"
"Those who believe will naturally believe. For those who don't, no matter how much you explain, it's just a sophistry of wolf ambition." He looked at Ye Changsheng for a long time, and said lightly, "There are people who can make me willing to explain. You alone are enough."
Ye Changsheng also looked at him. After a long time, he curled his lips and smiled, "After listening to the story, I feel sleepy now. Let's go to sleep."
As he spoke, he pulled He Jiuzhong to lie down, leaned closer to the other end, and pressed his head gently on the man's chest.Listening to that heartbeat sound after another, full of strength, my heart suddenly became very peaceful.
"I really like the sound of your heartbeat." Ye Changsheng closed his eyes, his voice was a little leisurely and satisfied, "From now on, it will belong to me."
"He Jiuzhong."
Ye Changsheng called his name with a slight trailing sound in his voice.
He Jiuzhong looked down at him.
The boy on the other end had his eyes closed, with delicate eyebrows and eyes on his snow-white skin, a straight nose, and a pair of rosy lips that were curved upwards in a nice curve.
"You belong to me too."
He Jiuzhong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Shouldn't I be the one who said this to you?"
When Ye Changsheng heard the words, he leaned on him and laughed, and after a while, nodded: "Okay, I'm not at a loss in this way."
Laughed for a while, then said softly, "Good night."
He Jiuzhong raised the corners of his lips, pinched his neck lightly with his fingers, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Go to sleep."
Early the next morning, Ye Changsheng was awakened by the continuous and deafening sound of firecrackers outside the house.He opened his eyes and looked at the time in a daze, and it was not even six o'clock.
The sky outside was still a little dark, he lifted the quilt on his side and sat up for a while, then put on his slippers and rubbed his eyes while walking towards the washstand.
He Jiuzhong raised his eyelids, looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Ye Changsheng yawned a little, and said sleepily, "Wash your face and brush your teeth... While it's still early, the two of us will go to the nearby temple to worship later. By the way, please have a stick of incense."
He Jiuzhong raised his brows, as if he thought it was a little funny: "The temple belongs to the Buddha, and your way belongs to the Tao. Even if it is not opposite, there should be a boundary between the two, right? You don't pay attention at all."
Ye Changsheng stood outside in thin pajamas and was a little sober from the cold. He turned his head and looked at He Jiuzhong who was on the bed, and said confidently: "Who says I belong to the 'Tao', I am obviously a magic stick!"
He walked out again wearing slippers, and the voice came from the direction of the living room indistinctly: "And who stipulated that Taoists can't believe in Buddhism? Now everyone pays attention to Buddhism and Taoism, regardless of family!
It’s not a day or two since I went to pray to God and worship Buddha. Do you remember the mahogany door that you broke with your bare hands when you came to my house on the first day? "
Ye Changsheng's words instantly awakened He Jiuzhong's memory.
He sat up, squinting his eyes and remembering the first time he met him.The young man was wearing short sleeves and shorts, which were very weird and inappropriate in his eyes. His hair was a little messy and he was not wearing shoes. He stood bare on the ground with a pair of white and tender feet. Sometimes, the sadness and complaints on the face are so thick that they almost turn into entities and overflow.
He Jiuzhong also lifted the quilt and got up, walked from the bedroom to the sliding door between the washstand and the living room, leaned on the door frame and looked at Ye Changsheng who was brushing his teeth, and then responded with a half-smile: "Well, You also asked me to pay for your door."
Ye Changsheng raised his head, smiled and gave the person behind him a look through the mirror in front of him, because he was brushing his teeth with a mouthful of toothpaste foam in his mouth, his voice seemed a bit vague: "You speak lightly, you know how much I am Is it troublesome to get such a door? I have to find the best peach wood first, and then send it to the temple with the best incense for 49 days. I have to ask the respected old host to consecrate me personally. It took a lot of time before and after. , It also cost me a lot of money to manage it."
He Jiuzhong walked over and put one arm around his waist weakly from behind, and looked at him sideways: "When you went to the temple to worship Buddha, most of the time you asked for peace of life, so what are you doing now? "
Ye Changsheng spit out the foam in his mouth, rinsed his mouth again, then turned his head, and said to He Jiuzhong very seriously: "Of course it is because of faith!"
He Jiuzhong couldn't help laughing, looked at him playfully and said, "Now your belief is worthless."
Ye Changsheng chuckled, took a towel and washed his face again, then squeezed toothpaste on He Jiuzhong's toothbrush and handed it to him: "Let's move faster, the sky is not completely bright in the morning, and the traffic jam on the road will be better. Let's go and come back!"
He Jiuzhong raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
After washing, I changed my clothes again. Since the temple I was going to was only an hour and a half away from here, the two of them went straight there without having breakfast.
Although they arrived not too late, the small temple on the mountainside was already crowded with pilgrims who came from all directions.
Ye Changsheng bought some incense in the shop next to him, and handed over one with the words "All wishes come true" on it: "I've already arrived here, so it's okay to join in the fun. You also go in and pay your respects."
He Jiuzhong looked at the incense in his hand, with a delicate expression: "Your gods and Buddhas here can even control other worlds?"
Ye Changsheng blinked, and argued, "How do you know if you don't try? Look, you were dragged here from another world by me...cough."
He Jiuzhong thought for a while, and was surprised to find that he was really persuaded by Ye Changsheng.
Seeing He Jiuzhong's silence, Ye Changsheng automatically understood that he had acquiesced.The two people lit the incense they had invited outside the temple, bowed, and threw it into the big incense burner outside, and then followed the crowd to the temple again.
He Jiuzhong watched Ye Changsheng knelt in front of the futon, closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, meditated something, then bowed respectfully three times, and then devoutly took out a coin from his pocket and put it into the merit box, he couldn't help but smile for a moment.
"I see that other pilgrims put dozens and hundreds of coins in the merit box. How come you only have one coin?"
Ye Changsheng squinted at him, and there was a sense of surprise in his eyes, "You ordinary man who smells of copper": "It doesn't matter, anyway, gods and Buddhas don't need to spend money, what's the difference between one yuan and 100 yuan? The important thing is the heart." !"
He Jiuzhong smiled, "Then your intentions seem to be very sincere."
Ye Changsheng nodded: "If I rely on this alone, then I will definitely not lose."
Saying that, he and He Jiuzhong were going to follow the crowd and go out of the temple again.
At the exit, there were faithful men and women who were asking for a lottery in front of an old monk. He Jiuzhong saw it and looked aside with a bit of teasing: "It's not a trigram?"
Ye Changsheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't believe this."
He Jiuzhong seemed a little surprised: "Oh?"
Ye Changsheng was serious: "In a person's life, although many fears come from the unknown, don't the more fun and surprises also come from the unknown?"
Xianfeng finished what he said just now, and couldn't help lowering his voice secretly: "Besides, I am a fortune-teller myself, don't I know the twists and turns in their drawing lots? It's all a lie Things, why do you want to give money to these Buddhists!"
Then he complained and said angrily: "The money they charge is more expensive than what I charge!"
He Jiuzhong looked at Ye Changsheng, who was filled with righteous indignation, and nodded very clearly, but then couldn't help reminding: "But you just said that Buddhism and Taoism do not separate families about an hour ago."
Ye Changsheng gave him a look of resentment, and tapped the blackboard to mark the key point: "Nonsense, is this my key? My key is to ask for expensive lottery here! A lottery will cost at least one or two hundred!"
As they said that, the two of them had already left the temple and walked towards the foot of the mountain, trying to stop another car from the road.
"Also, if but compared to fortune-telling, I don't think anyone can compare to my master."
While stopping the car, Ye Changsheng suddenly said again: "It's just that, even if it's him, wouldn't he be wrong when he tells my fortune?"
He Jiuzhong looked sideways at Ye Changsheng's direction, facing a pair of pure black eyes with a faint smile: "So, well, what kind of fate is it?"
He Jiuzhong lowered his eyes halfway to ponder his words, and after a while he also raised his lips and smiled: "That's true."
It was only 08:30 when the two returned to the house.
I brought some breakfast from downstairs and went back to fill my stomach. Ye Changsheng was sitting on the sofa with nothing to do, thinking about whether to take advantage of the quietness of the moment and then lie down and go back to sleep. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside. .
He walked over and opened the door, and outside was Qin Lu's delicately made-up face.
Qin Lu looked at Ye Changsheng, slightly hooked his lips and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, Master Ye."
Ye Changsheng also smiled and nodded quickly and said: "Happy New Year!" He said curiously, "Miss Qin must be very busy recently, why do you have time to come to my place to pay New Year's greetings? - Come in and sit down Sit down?"
Hearing Ye Changsheng's ridicule, Qin Lu's eyes flickered with annoyance and sharpness when she thought of those cheap brothers of hers after the will was announced these days and the ghosts and monsters around her who didn't know where to come out of nowhere, but then she was forced by herself After getting down, he waved his hand at Ye Changsheng and said, "I just came out to do some errands. I happened to pass by Ye Tianshi. I just stopped by to say hello. I won't go in and sit this time."
After pinning the hair on the side of his face, he smiled and said, "I have already ordered the accountant to transfer the agreed amount to your account, and it should be credited in the afternoon at the latest."
Ye Changsheng blinked, and immediately smiled: "Oh, how embarrassing that is. On the first day of the new year, this is Miss Qin... Oh, no, it should be called Mr. Qin, is it the red envelope given by Mr. Qin?"
Qin Lu was amused by Ye Changsheng's appearance: "Those are your rewards, how can they be called red envelopes?" After a short pause, he continued, "But speaking of red envelopes, I really prepared them for Ye Tianshi. for a moment."
Ye Changsheng moved his eyes and looked towards Qin Lu.
"I heard later that Ye Tianshi originally planned to take a vacation before the year to go outside
