Incense money from flower and bird shop

forty,

Darkness and silence are not scary, what really scares Ming Yan is that after being trapped here for a long time, he will forget the taste of being alive.It won't be long before he will turn into a walking corpse, lingering on to live.

A ray of light came in from the gap in the door, and it became more and more dazzling, like a sharp knife piercing the black curtain.

Ming Yan was imprisoned in the darkness for too long, his eyes were stung when he saw the light, and he subconsciously looked away.But even if he didn't see the person standing in front of the door clearly, he recognized Xiao Congshuo's figure.

It's a pity that the one standing not far away is only the person occupying Xiao Congshuo's body.

Could it be that Xiao Congshuo really can't come back?Ming Yan grasped the cold steel bars on the cage, rubbed the uneven runes with his fingertips, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration—maybe, he still had a chance.

The person occupying Xiao Congshuo's body walked towards the cage unhurriedly, his cold eyes glared at the prisoner, as if it was just a straw.Holding an incense burner and a box of incense sticks in his hands, he deliberately placed them in front of Ming Yan's eyes without saying a word.

The brass censer is in the shape of a phoenix fluttering its wings, and a ruby ​​is embedded in the eye, emitting a faint brilliance.Ming Yan recognized the origin of the incense burner at a glance, as if falling into an ice cave, he asked in a cold voice: "Have you been to the flower and bird shop?"

The man ignored him, lit a match, and lit a stick of incense.The breath of sandalwood gradually dispersed, wandering in the dark secret room.Such offerings are too ironic.

Ming Yan clenched the cage tightly, almost biting his teeth, and warned: "If you dare to touch Dabai and Zhu Li—"

"They're not worth my while." The man's cold tone carried a hint of disdain, "As long as you obediently keep them in the cage, they won't be in danger."

"What is your purpose for doing this?" Ming Yan really couldn't figure out what he and Xiao Shao were thinking.

In the darkness, there was a sudden chuckle, full of sarcasm.The man leaned over to get closer to Ming Yan, his cold and piercing eyes could make people feel uneasy even through the night: "What if I say there is no purpose?"

"It's so interesting to meet a little god like you who is overconfident but determined to go his own way."

"So, domesticating you into a bird in my cage is also very interesting."

The vicious words lingered in his ears, and the anger in Ming Yan's heart was like a prairie fire, but the reality made him unable to explode.He could feel that they were very close at this moment, only about a steel bar apart.

"Xiao Congshuo—"

Ming Yan called out suddenly, his voice was soft and gentle, no different from the time when they were intimate.

This action caused the man to sneer: "Are you trying to wake him up? I think I said that he won't wake up again."

Even so, you have to try hard, don't you?

Ming Yan ignored the burst of laughter, and said to himself: "Xiao Congshuo, think about your grandma, the old man is still waiting for you to find her."

"Think about what I said to you, everyone's fate is predetermined." When Ming Yan spoke, his voice was soft and slow, as if lost in memory, muttering, "Xiao Congshuo, your fate shouldn't be like this. -"

"Don't say it!"

The man seemed to have been touched by a certain nerve, and suddenly burst into anger, raised his foot and kicked over the incense burner, pointed at Ming Yan and threatened: "If you dare to say one more word, I will pull out your tongue."

This person will probably do what he says, Ming Yan knows very well in his heart, but he is not afraid: he continued: "Do you still remember what the mountain god said? He said that he does not want you to disappoint grandma's painstaking efforts."

"Xiao Congshuo, if we are expelled, sealed up, and replaced like this, our efforts will be in vain."

"After more than 20 years of ups and downs, but you have come to such an ending, don't you want to be willing!"

As long as Xiao Congshuo can be awakened, Ming Yan is willing to pay the price.

However, the man who clamored to pull out his tongue was unable to take action at this moment.In Ming Yan's words, he began to feel dizzy, almost unable to stabilize his body, and suddenly leaned against the cage made of steel bars.

He shouted like a bloodthirsty beast: "Shut up!"

Ming Yan knew that the opportunity had come, and whether he could call Xiao Congshuo back and win a chance of life all depended on one action.

"Xiao Congshuo, come back, we are waiting for you—"

"Ming Yan..." The ferocious tone was suddenly mixed with love and annoyance, and it was Xiao Congshuo who gradually came to his senses.

Ming Yan grabbed the hand of the man outside the cage, interlocked his fingers, and pressed his palms together: "Xiao Congshuo, I know it's you."

Gradually, the man clasped Ming Yan's hand, and responded with difficulty: "Ming Yan—"

"Maybe you can only wake up for a moment, but this is our chance." Ming Yan knew that although it was difficult to do so, Xiao Congshuo had to fight on. Find Yuan Hou before sealing it up and ask him to help you."

"No matter what, you must convince Yuan Hou."

Yuan Hou is proficient in all kinds of spells. With his help, although the other consciousness cannot be completely expelled, Xiao Congshuo can at least stay awake longer.

"Ming Yan..." The man called him in a low voice, his voice was full of fatigue, as if he had just experienced a big battle.

"It's me." Ming Yan clasped Xiao Congshuo's hand tightly, and repeatedly asked, "Before Xiao Shao finds out, you must get out of here."

"Find Yuan Hou, no matter what method you use, you must get his help."

Now, apart from Yuan Hou, Ming Yan doesn't know who else can help Xiao Congshuo this time.

Xiao Congshuo also held Ming Yan's hand tightly, and made a weak but solemn promise: "I will come back and take you out."

"Ming Yan, you must wait for me."

Ming Yan didn't respond, but just urged him to leave quickly: "Don't stay any longer, leave now!"

Watching Xiao Congshuo's figure disappear into the light, Ming Yan fell into the boundless night again.Only this time, he curled his lips into a smile, and his mood seemed to be reborn from a dead tree.

As long as you have hope, even if you are in the abyss, you can still see the faint but bright sunshine, isn't it?

I don't know how long it has passed, the darkness was broken again, this time, it was Xiao Shao who came in person.

"You're very courageous." His voice was as calm as ever, but under the calmness, the rage that was about to erupt was suppressed, "Is it true that you are not afraid of death?"

Ming Yan smiled lowly, not mocking or provoking, but just stating the facts: "I just did what I should do, you underestimated Xiao Congshuo."

"People who have climbed out of the grave are far stronger than you think."

"Maybe, you regard him as worthless, but you don't understand that it is precisely because of the difficult journey that life becomes more tenacious."

"I'm not in the mood to listen to your rationale." Xiao Shao's anger finally erupted, and he warned the ignorant people, "If he is still Xiao Congshuo when I find someone, you all have to pay the price."

If Xiao Congshuo was still in control of his body when he found someone, I'm afraid Xiao Shao would use other methods to completely seal up Xiao Congshuo's soul.

But why didn't they expel Xiao Congshuo?Expelling or destroying the consciousness is the only way to get rid of it once and for all.

At the moment of a flash of inspiration, Ming Yan seemed to grasp a clue—could they have been unable to separate?

"But before that, I have one more thing to give you." Xiao Shao smiled viciously, holding a plate of cupcakes in his hand behind his back all the time.

The matter is by no means that simple, Ming Yan looked at him vigilantly, the light in his eyes almost turned into a knife blade.

Xiao Shao sent the plate into the cage, with a smile on his lips, chilling: "Taste it well."

The sweet sound lingered in his breath, Ming Yan lowered his eyes and stared at the food, even though he hadn't eaten for a long time, he didn't dare to act rashly.

The house fell into dead silence, Xiao Shao looked at Ming Yan with interest, as if waiting for a good show.Ming Yan looked at the cupcakes very vigilantly, and quickly thought about the reason.

At this moment, he saw the white cream begin to melt, like ice and snow meeting a warm current, melting into a puddle at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Every trace of melting butter turned into a distorted face, either howling or roaring, even though there was no sound, Ming Yan could feel their despair.

"Insidious!" Ming Yan overturned the food and asked sharply, "You actually eat the living soul as a snack?"

"For me, these are snacks after dinner." Looking at the smashed cake on the ground, Xiao Shao suddenly felt a pity, "If you are willing to swear to follow me, you will also enjoy this kind of offering."

"Using the pain suffered by other people's living souls, and turning them into offerings for oneself..." Ming Yan sneered, dismissively, "It's too sinful."

"Your persistence is too ridiculous." Xiao Shao wasn't mocking Ming Yan, he was really puzzled at the moment.

Ming Yan turned around, unwilling to take another look at such a person: "You won't understand, never will."

His words echoed in the silent cage, like a drop of water falling into the center of a pool, causing ripples: "So, even if you have a complete collection of spiritual consciousness and spiritual power, you can only be regarded as an evil god and be hated by the world."

What Ming Yan said angered Xiao Shao again, the man sneered, and said something that could be called cruel: "Unfortunately, Xiao Congshuo will never know where his grandmother is."

This sentence made Ming Yan tremble, and suddenly turned to look at him: "What did you do?"

Xiao Shao smiled without saying a word, turned and left, leaving the prisoner only the sound of the door closing.

Ming Yan looked at the residue on the ground, his heart became colder and colder, it was like swallowing a mouthful of ice.
