One day, the parallel world collapsed

The black cat and the mermaid were still chattering in the backseat, while Mo Qi rode his bicycle and stopped outside the zebra crossing.

"Mo Qi?"

Hearing someone calling him, Mo Qixun looked over and saw Xu Qingquan walking towards him with big and small bags.

"Senior Brother Xu." Mo Qi called him, looking at the things in his hand, "Have you gone shopping?"

"That's right." Xu Qingquan's bag was filled with brooms, mops, garbage bags and other hygiene tools, "Isn't it because the weather is good today, I just want to clean up the place where I live, so I went to buy some things. "

"Ah." Mo Qi responded, but thought in his heart, how can he be a god who wants to clean up and do it himself?Can't you just use power directly?After all, he had never seen Mo Bai cleaning, and he didn't even know how his clothes were cleaned.

"Then let me get you some."

"No trouble, no trouble." Xu Qingquan said hastily, "My place of residence is coming soon, you should go back quickly."

Mo Qi took out his phone and checked the time, it was still early.So he took two bags from Xu Qingquan and hung them on the handlebars of the car, smiled, "It's okay, I'll send them back for you first."

Xu Qingquan laughed: "Okay, then thank you."

"Come on, go this way."

The black cat and the mermaid looked at each other, thinking something might be wrong.But thinking about it being late in the afternoon, the sun hadn't set yet, so it shouldn't be a big problem, so he didn't stop him and went with Mo Qi.

The place where Xu Qingquan lives is an urban village, and it has not yet come to demolition.In addition to the vegetable market, there are also some rural uncles and aunts who bring vegetables, live fish, etc. and set up stalls directly along the road.Although it looks a little messy, it is lively.

Mo Qi thought that all gods should like to be quiet like Mo Bai and Xia Qingfeng, but he didn't expect Xu Qingquan to choose to live in such a place.

Xu Qingquan led Mo Qi to the place where he lived, and said with a smile: "Are you a little surprised? I personally like the human world very much, because it is very lively. Living here can make me feel alive, as if I haven't become a god yet. like that at the time.”

"Brother Xu was also a human being before?"

Xu Qingquan laughed when he heard the words, and said in a warm voice: "How can anyone be born a god... well, I can't say that, it should be said that most gods are formed by ascending step by step. When I was born, I was also an ordinary person. But at that time, there was a lot of aura in the human world, which was very suitable for cultivation. In addition, I got some opportunities, and when I was 40 years old, I became a fairy, and later I became a god."

"It may be that I have been a human for a long time. Later, I became a fairy, and even a god. I still can't forget the 40 years I spent in the world. I like this kind of feeling, the feeling of being full of people, and I like to look around A person who is busy and working hard to live—oh, here it is, right here.”

Xu Qingquan took Mo Qi and Heimao into an alley, and in front of them was a courtyard house that was rarely seen in Lincheng.Xu Qingquan walked into the innermost room, opened the door and said to Mo Qi, "Come in."

"it is good."

Mo Qi and the black cat looked around the whole yard curiously.Originally, the courtyard should have good lighting, but because the neighbors have built modern high-rise buildings, which blocked part of the sunlight, half of the entire courtyard was in shadow.The little mermaid in the bottle made two gasps to Mo Qi's "pipi", and whispered, "I'm almost back."

Mo Qi nodded, "Yeah." He didn't want to stay with Xu Qingquan too much.Even in broad daylight, he still couldn't help shivering the moment he faced the other party, and he couldn't explain why.It's just that they knew each other after all, and Xu Qingquan was also very gentle and kind to him, even sending him home last time.Out of politeness, I can't watch people take so many things and not help because of my inexplicable subconscious reaction.

Mo Qi carried the things hanging on the car into the house, and swept around the furnishings in the house.It may be because the lights are on, but the room looks very bright.There are not many furniture and home appliances. It is estimated that they are all here, and there are not many new things added later.

"Come on, drink some water." Xu Qingquan poured a glass of water for Mo Qi, and also poured a bowl for the raccoon demon from a shallow bowl, "Thank you for bringing it here for me, let's sit for a while."

"It's okay." Mo Qi put the things on the coffee table, "Brother Xu, then I'll go back."

"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Xu Qingquan was fetching fruit for them from the refrigerator, "Let's sit down for a while before leaving. I don't have anything to entertain you, just eat some apples?"

"It's really unnecessary." Mo Qi said, "I promised Brother Mo Bai that I'll be back soon. I'm afraid he will wait."

Xu Qingquan laughed when he heard the words, "Are you afraid of him?" He took an apple to Mo Qi, "Okay, then I won't keep you for dinner, take the apple with you on the way. Let's go, we send you off."

Mo Qi took it, "OK."

Pushing the bicycle outside the house, Mo Qi looked at the two rooms next to him, and found that they were all dark, as if no one lived there.He couldn't help asking: "Does Senior Brother Xu live here by himself?"

"Ah, yes." Xu Qingquan replied, pointing to the two rooms on the left and right, "There are no people in these two rooms. Nowadays, not many people like to live in this kind of old-fashioned house, and they all want to go to high-rise buildings. This courtyard used to live in I lived with an old couple. After the old lady passed away, the son took the old man to him. The yard was originally planned to be sold, but the old man was reluctant. It happened that I needed a place to live during this period of time, so I decided to rented a house."

Mo Qi was a little puzzled after hearing his words: "You come to the human world to do business, and you still have to settle the house yourself?"

Xu Qingquan smiled when he heard the words, and replied: "To live in any world, you must abide by the rules of this world. All property rights in the human world have corresponding owners. If we want to live here, we must follow the rules of the human world." Follow the rules to buy a house or lease."

Mo Qi couldn't help thinking that Meng Mei and Hu Jiang mentioned before that the house Mo Bai lives in now also belongs to a person who lives abroad, so could it be that he also rented the house? "Then, do you pay for the rent yourself?"

"Like me and Qingfeng, we need to come to the human world to do business, and then the higher-ups will reimburse us." Xu Qingquan said, "It's the same as the accommodation expenses for your human beings on business trips."

"Then... what if it's not because of business?"

"If you don't do business, you probably have to bear the expenses yourself." Xu Qingquan realized that Mo Qi should be referring to Mo Bai, and said, "Mo Bai has a serious job in the human world, so he can afford the expenses." Yes, don't worry about it."

Having been seen through by the other party, Mo Qi responded embarrassingly: "Ah, yes..."

A battery car ahead hit a car that had stopped to buy groceries, and the two parties were arguing.The narrow road was half blocked, and all the cars could only avoid the detour, and soon the cars lined up.Mo Qi pushed his bicycle and walked side by side with Xu Qingquan, and a coupe behind them honked their horn at them trying to overtake.As soon as the horn was sounded, the other car that was already halfway ahead of it when turning the corner naturally refused to give in, and stepped on the accelerator pedal, which ended up hitting the rear tire of Mo Qi's bicycle.

Fortunately, the collision was light, but Mo Qi was unprepared. When he hurriedly supported the fallen bicycle with both hands, the apple he was holding fell naturally.

"Are you okay?" Xu Qingquan asked hurriedly.

Mo Qi shook his head: "It's okay."

Xu Qingquan pushed Mo Qi forward, and glanced unswervingly at the driver of the car that hit them.

The driver was also afraid of bumping into someone, so he opened the car door and stepped out, asking embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, is there anything wrong?"

Mo Qi waved his hand and said softly, "It's all right."

In the end, the driver didn't say anything, but the woman in the co-pilot of the coupe poked her head out and shouted: "If you have nothing to do, get out of the way quickly! Didn't you see that the traffic is already like this?"

Hearing this, both Xu Qingquan and Mo Qi looked over angrily.

Although there are many people suffering from road rage now, they are still the first ones who are so angry that they fire the map cannons indiscriminately.

The other party received their glance and felt offended, and cursed again: "Look at the fart! Just say you two!"

Maybe it was because Xu Qingquan and Mo Qi seemed easy to bully, she rolled her eyes after scolding, and threw the cigarette butt over.Although he was still far away from them, it was clear that he was provoking trouble.

Xu Qingquan glanced at the cigarette butt that was still flaming on the ground, his eyes darkened, and he walked towards the sedan chair.

Although Mo Qi was angry, he didn't intend to care about it.Seeing Xu Qingquan walk by with a cold face, he called him: "Brother Xu?"

Xu Qingquan ignored him, walked straight to the co-pilot of the coupe, looked at the provocative expression of the woman inside: "Don't you think you need to apologize?"

"Is there something wrong with your brain?" The woman gave Xu Qingquan a blank look, and snorted, "Poor."

Xu Qingquan looked at the simple T-shirt on his body, and understood why the other party was so fearless.Instead, he smiled, raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at the equipment in the other party's car, and retorted in a gentle voice: "Why, is driving a low-end coupe with less than 20 yuan enough for a person to have such confidence? ?”

His voice was not high, and he even used a very bad-tempered tone, but many people around him heard his words.The driver who hit Mo Qi's bicycle in front of the coupe, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, got into the car wisely and withdrew first.

Seeing the car in front drive away, the road was already cleared, Xu Qingquan, who had ridiculed him for venting his anger, stopped bothering him and turned back.Unexpectedly, the woman grabbed his sleeve and said, "Stop! Who are you offended by saying this!"

Xu Qingquan glanced at the hand holding his sleeve, then at the woman in the car.Just as he was about to retort, the car owners who were waiting anxiously behind him also honked their horns to urge him. Xu Qingquan didn't say much, and pulled back the cuff with all his strength, and walked back to Mo Qi's side.

"Stupid!" As the coupe drove past them, the woman inside gave them a middle finger.

"Brother Xu, are you alright?" Mo Qi glanced at the sedan car that was driving away, and asked Xu Qingquan.

When pulling back the cuffs just now, the sleeves were pulled up on the arms. When Xu Qingquan walked back, he pulled them down and tidied them up. Hearing this, he shook his head and chuckled: "I'm getting older. I can't listen to serious words. It's okay, let's go."

Mo Qi's gaze swept over Xu Qingquan's arm, and he raised his lips in response: "Yes."

The sun had already set, turning its harsh golden light into a warm orange disk.Xu Qingquan only sent Mo Qi to the intersection where the two met, and did not send more.Then he watched Mo Qi get on the bicycle, and when the green light turned on, he called out to tell the boy to be careful on the road.

Watching Mo Qi cross the road, Xu Qingquan turned his gaze away and turned to go home.But the moment he turned around, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

------

Mo Qi pedaled the bicycle quickly, not daring to stop at all.He rode for a long time until he felt the two gazes on his back disappear, and his stiff back gradually relaxed, and then he suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

"嗞啦" braked suddenly, Mo Qi turned a corner and stopped the bicycle, the knuckles of his fingers holding the handlebar were white, and he was still trembling uncontrollably at this moment.He was panting quickly and chaotically, and wiped the sweat from his brow with a pale face.The weather was obviously still hot, but he only felt chills all over his body.

The raccoon cat demon cautiously poked his head to look back, and when he came back, he stammered in fear: "He didn't follow..."

"It's really him!" The little mermaid finally shouted in shock at this moment, "He's the one the Great God and the others are chasing!"

Mo Qi took a deep breath, stepped back on the bicycle, his voice was still trembling, but his eyes were firm: "Tell Brother Mo Bai quickly."

Just now when Xu Qingquan pulled back the sleeve from the woman's hand, he revealed the scar on his lower arm.

The winding and criss-crossing wounds seemed to have never healed, glowing with black air.Although only a small piece was exposed, and Xu Qingquan quickly tidied up his sleeves to cover it up, Mo Qi, the black cat, and the mermaid could clearly see it—that trace was what Mo Bai and Xia Qingfeng talked about a few days ago The one that was thrown in the air at the time, used the forbidden technique to destroy the spirit consciousness of the spirit eater, and the scar left by the backlash!
