Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 614, Born to be Human

The girl covered by the mask looked at old man Fang with a smile, her eyes were as soft as water and as clear as glazed jade.

"Thank you, what am I doing?" Old man Fang was a little at a loss. He had lost all his energy-raising skills over the years, he hesitated like a kid, and old man Fang also felt that he could only do nothing in front of the girl in front of him. It's a little boy, completely opposite to his appearance.

The girl smiled, just stretched out a hand as white as jade, holding a small red rope, and whispered softly.

"Hold the rope, hold the concubine's body."

Old man Fang hesitated for a moment, but finally took the rope.

"I always feel very familiar and at ease. This feeling is really amazing." Old man Fang held the rope, as if he was really holding a girl's hand. The strange and familiar warm touch calmed his heart.

The girl in the white skirt can only be seen and touched by old man Fang. The people next to her look as if old man Fang is holding the air, and there is not much eye contact.

And the two didn't communicate verbally at the beginning, just wandering around in the temple fair, the deserted temple fair has long since disappeared, and most of the vendors have closed their stalls.

There are only some poor families who want to put it on for a longer period of time to subsidize some households, hoping to sell it for an extra fifty cents.

"Hey, old man Fang, what do you want?" The middle-aged man selling cotton candy at a stall grinned and said, "This year's temple fair is a blessing to you again, these papers need to be cleared away."

The paper with wishes on the temple fair is not hung on it all year round. Once there is a wind and rain, the paper on it will fall off and dirty the ground. At this time, it is the turn of old man Fang to clean the place. remnant.

One heavy rain, less wishes, two heavy rains, three heavy rains. In the end, only the branches and leaves of the sycamore tree are left on top. At that time, it is another year. When praying, new wishes, old people
"It's just a duty." Old Man Fang smiled, glanced at the girl in a white dress next to him, and said, "Give me a cotton candy, strawberry flavored."

"Okay, a cotton candy, right? It doesn't cost any money. I'll give it to you. By the way, you're getting old, don't eat so much sweet food, and be careful of diabetes." The middle-aged uncle handed a big pink cotton candy to old man Fang hands.

Old man Fang smiled and said nothing, and led the girl away from the small stall.

As soon as he turned around, the marshmallow in the old man's hand disappeared. The middle-aged uncle was shocked by this operation. The speed of eating the marshmallow was faster than that of a bear, and it disappeared all of a sudden.

"Well, it seems that old man Fang likes to eat candy."

"Is this cotton candy? I have often seen children eating this thing, but I just don't know the taste." The girl in white lifted up her mask, revealing her small mouth, sticking out her small tongue to lick the cotton candy.

I was a little cautious at the beginning, but once I licked it, I couldn't control it. The whole marshmallow was licked off in less than ten seconds, and even the mask was covered with a lot of sugar, which was very cute.

"Let's talk. Who are you? Your name" Old man Fang finally couldn't help asking his own question, and felt that he was a little funny. When he didn't know his identity, he accompanied him to most of the temple fair.

"I am a phoenix tree, a 500-year-old phoenix tree, the phoenix tree you rely on, and the phoenix tree that watched you grow up."

Wutong pointed at the big tree, and old man Fang found a place to sit down, just wanting to ease his current mood. The 500-year-old Wutong is now eating the cotton candy he bought.

But soon, old man Fang accepted this setting. Frankly speaking, even old man Fang himself felt a little strange, why he accepted the setting of sycamore wood turning into a human, as if it should have been like this since a long time ago.

A tattered red hemp rope became the sustenance connecting the two ends——

"The world is so prosperous. I couldn't touch it directly before, but now I can see it and touch it. I have never seen such a scene before. It's so beautiful. Now in the world."

Barefooted and white-haired, like an elf, the things in front of him couldn't help overlapping together in front of Old Man Fang's eyes, and finally Old Man Fang blurted out the truth.

"Have we met before?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it a long, long time ago, I've seen it countless times, I've been separated countless times, you will come back to me again, and only you will come back in the end." Wutong's soft and melodious voice sounded, but the voice became more and more It became weaker and weaker, and finally seemed to dissipate.

Old man Fang thought that Wutong was sick, so he tried to say as little as possible, but silently held the little hemp rope and took her to see the prosperity of the temple fair, and finally wanted to take her out for a walk, but Wutong directly refused.

"The concubine can't leave here too far, so let's take a stroll here." Wutong's voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't even have the strength to walk, so he had to stop to rest and sit by the flower bed.

Indus supported his body weakly, his transparent skin was almost synonymous with weakness, but when old man Fang wanted to help him up, he was held back by Wutong.

"Don't be a concubine, a powerless little girl."

Wu Tong smiled and supported himself to stand up, half of the mask on his face had been removed, revealing half of a delicate face.

And this delicate face, old man Fang has seen it before, at least this face has been seen before
【Bow to heaven and earth.】

【Second worship to the high hall.】

【Husband and wife salute.】

In the past, I married someone under the plane tree.

The face in front of him is exactly the same as the person in the dream, but old man Fang knows that this sycamore is not that person, the sycamore is the sycamore, and the sycamore is not someone else.

Old man Fang unconsciously spoke out what was in his heart.

"Indus is not someone else, Wutong is Wutong and not that person."

Wu Tong was stunned after hearing this, and then smiled, happier than anyone else, happier than anyone else, at least old man Fang felt that Wu Tong was very happy at this time.

"Have you ever known the wish of a concubine?"

Wutong finally stopped covering up and took off the mask on his face, revealing his entire face.

The hemp rope in his hand was also thrown away.

"I am not a human being, but I want to miss you"

【Your existence is more unstable than any spirit. You are not a human, a demon, or a creature. 】

"Want to run."

【Any behavior that intersects with the human world will make your spirit weak. 】

"Want to. Hug the one who wants to hug."

[You can't touch a human being, once you touch it, it will disappear. 】

Holding hands together, Wutong gently hugged old man Fang.

Indus whispered.

"But if you can't touch, you can't hug, what's the point of being like this?"

[What wish do you have? 】

[Concubine body. I want to be born as a human being. 】
