Shopkeeper and God

The man in blue who had risen into the air glared at them again, but when he saw Qi Xie making faces at him, he simply ignored him.Baochen watched the figures of the three people disappear into the distant sky, but his brows were still frowning. Looking at Qi Xie who was cheerful, he finally decided to say something to him, and told him to sit under the tree, saying: "Next time we will see you again." If you meet those people, don't run out." He even blamed him a little bit.

Qi Xie felt that Bao Chen had poured cold water on his enthusiasm, shocked and saddened, immediately tugged on Bao Chen's sleeve, and asked, "Why?"Looking at the child's expression, Baochen couldn't bear it after all, raised his hand and smoothed his curled hair, and said, "They're just targeting me, there's no need for you to get involved."

"Why! But I think they seem to be afraid of me." Mingming fought with Baochen in a dim light, but when they saw Qi Xie intervening, those people only knew how to use their mouths, even if Qi Xie said that they were white-faced. hands on.Qi Xie thought it was because he spoke so loudly that he persuaded those people.However, Baochen just glanced at him indifferently, and sighed: "Those are people from the heavenly court, the heavenly court has orders, and killing people is against the rules of heaven."

"Then, am I not Baochen's shield?" The child seemed completely unable to grasp the deep meaning that Baochen wanted to express, and even suddenly became happy, making Baochen look at him in astonishment.Qi Xie even laughed and said, "After that, if they come to beat you again, if I stand in front of you, won't I be your shield? Then I will protect you from now on."

Something in Baochen's eyes suddenly trembled, he looked at the incredible boy in front of him, and was actually speechless for a long while.Qi Xie's black eyes without any impurities looked at him, they were as clear as spring water, and it seemed as if he could fall into it after looking at him for a long time.Finally, Baochen couldn't bear to watch anymore, and suddenly covered his eyes and lowered his head, his expression seemed to be a little painful.

Qi Xie didn't understand why Baochen was acting like this all of a sudden. He shook Baochen but didn't get any response. After thinking about it, he asked cautiously and worriedly, "Why did those people from the Heavenly Court kill you? You're really not human. Is it? Are you also a person in the sky? Have you made a mistake and been shot down by the heaven?"

Hearing Qi Xie ask these questions, Bao Chen paused, and finally looked up at him again.Qi Xie looked at him like a curious baby, Bao Chen suddenly softened his heart, and said: "No, I am not from the Heavenly Court, I have not made any mistakes in the Heavenly Court, and I am not even related to the Heavenly Court. I am not human either, But Heaven will not allow me, and I will naturally not go to Heaven."

"...What is that?" Qi Xie couldn't understand.Not a person and not a person of heaven, could it be a monster?Or the land of the mountain god?

Baochen smiled, looked at the mountains in the distance, with sad eyes, said: "I am a special case" was another vague sentence.

"What's the special case?" Qi Xie frowned.

"The special case is..." Baochen turned his eyes to look at him, the child followed him these few days, and he could always hunt some wild game to eat, and his complexion looked better, but he was still so small, so small that he was like a drop in the ocean.As if bewitched, Baochen stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, the child hummed for a while, and then heard Baochen say again:

"The exception is that I am immortal."

"—I am the only one in the world."

Spiritual Bell (4)

Immortal.

Lu Xing looked at the two people under the tree, and the smile on his face faded.Qi Xie didn't understand, his expression was still pure and innocent, but the sadness in Bao Chen's eyes flowed into Lu Xing's eyes.He suddenly understood everything about Baochen, the principle of not killing, and his innate dislike of heaven and hell.

Everything in the world cannot escape the principle of birth, old age, sickness and death.It's just the rules of heaven and man, the natural order, and the inescapable criterion.For thousands of years, many emperors and generals have pursued longevity, but in the end they all died on the road of pursuing longevity.Whether it is a human, a monster, heaven or the underworld, as long as there is life, all living things live under this rule.

However, Baochen is detached, he is a special case.

Therefore, heaven hates him, and the underworld rejects him.The power of longevity is so powerful, if Baochen really intends to destroy the world, no one in the three realms and six realms will be able to fight against him, so when he was in the underworld, the Fujun would say that kind of thing.

As long as Baochen is fine, the world can be peaceful.

So he would rather be seriously injured than kill. This is not Baochen's kindness, at least not at first.It's just that if he kills, the Heavenly Court will not let him go, let alone let him go. This is just his way of protecting himself. He has no choice but to release his power like a normal monster.

The world is so big that there is no place for home.

But why become a mountain god?Since Baochen is immortal, he is not qualified to be a mountain god.Although he, the mountain god, is Ming Yuan's abdication, but, or in other words, what is the opportunity to become a mountain god?When did he come up with the idea of ​​becoming a mountain god?

Is it because of Qi Harmony?

Lu Xing even laughed at himself for the answer he was about to come up with.

However, Qi Xie in this memory is still a child, he is innocent and seems to understand nothing.He got tired of hearing Baochen say those things, so he pestered Baochen to say something else.Baochen refused to speak, and was annoyed by him again, ordering him to be quiet.But the child was still angry, and ran away with his mouth pouted, saying that he was going to find some fruit to eat.As soon as he walked, Lu Xing saw another star shifting before his eyes. He barely took a step, but he saw the surrounding trees receding, his vision improved, the sun was setting, and the Milky Way was shining brightly in the sky.

This should be the top of the mountain, and the frost is heavier after the cold dew.Baochen didn't know where to get an animal skin and put it on Qi Xie's body. The child was wearing the animal skin and sitting in Baochen's arms, so he didn't feel cold anymore. He pointed to the stars in the sky, and a Ask Baochen the names of those stars.

"That's Beidou Ziwei, that's Tianshu, that's Pojun." Baochen explained to the children one by one.The child had never heard anyone say these things to him, and he opened his mouth wide to hear them all in his heart.It's just that he couldn't sit still, he felt bored after asking a few questions, looked up at Bao Chen and asked, "You said you would live forever, then do you remember when you were born? How long have you lived?"

Qi Harmony really couldn't read the atmosphere.Lu Xing felt that Baochen would avoid it for a while, but he didn't expect him to pause, and boldly replied: "I don't remember when I was born, I just know that I have been in this world for a long time. At that time, the heaven and the underworld were not yet established. Now, everyone thinks that longevity is a natural thing, until one day, they discovered the difference in me."

"So they came to beat you?" The child probably figured out why Baochen was beaten, and then muttered "It's really boring" with a pouted mouth, which caused Baochen to laugh lowly.Qi Xie heard him laugh, turned his head in surprise, and asked, "Is it interesting?"

"You're very interesting." Bao Chen also answered bluntly.

"Where am I interesting?" Qi Xie didn't know it this time.

"You're not afraid of me. You still pester me and let me tell you stories. You can't go away even if you blow me away. You are so courageous that even people in the heaven dare to scold you. Tell me, are you interesting?" He said He lowered his head and looked at Qi Xie's bright eyes.However, Qi Xie was a little confused, and said after a while: "I don't think I'm interesting, I just do what I should do."

"Repay the favor?"

"Um"

"Promise yourself?"

"Um"

Baochen paused, seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "But you also saved my life, so we're even."

When he said this, Qi Xie got out of his arms, looked at him with his hips crossed and said, "But you won't die! I saved it for nothing!" Bao Chen was puzzled when he heard this, and Qi Xie said again: "But if you don't save me, I will really die. So you should save me more!"

Bao Chen was dumbfounded by these words, and it took a long time to understand, but he was helpless, and his tone was half serious, and asked: "Qi Xie, those people from the heaven will still come to beat me in the days to come. Are they there?" Time is a desperate way to play, I can't take care of you. My life is not life, I am more like fleeing. We just walk in the wilderness like this, and we collect some things and dump them in the city to exchange money to buy clothes. You Are you sure you want to come with me?"

To Lu Xing, it didn't sound like he was asking for a child's opinion, and Qi Xie also showed a puzzled expression, tilted his head, and said, "Why are you asking me this? As I said, if I didn't meet you, I was beaten to death. My parents died when I was five years old. I was kicked out by my aunt when I was eight years old. Now I am ten years old. It is a gift from God that I can survive. Anyway, I am alone As for people, if you walk around here, you may die on the road one day. So—"

"It doesn't matter whether I follow you or not." Qi Xie laughed, "It's just that I want to repay my favor, so I must follow you. You are not allowed to abandon me."

The Milky Way is brilliant, under the stars, Lu Xing is not sure whether this child is more dazzling than the moon in Baochen's eyes at this moment, but he saw something flickering in Baochen's eyes.He looked at Qi Xie for a long time, and finally said in a calm voice: "I have lived for so long, and you are the first person who told me that you are willing to go with me."

"Ah? Then you are really pitiful." Qi Xie said bluntly.

Baochen was not annoyed, but laughed instead, stood up and pulled Qi Xie into a hug, saying: "You are also a poor person."

"No, I'm not pitiful. Why do you feel pitiful?" When Qi Xie said this again, Bao Chen couldn't understand it, so Qi Xie smiled and said, "Because there are good things happening every day. Happened. To meet you, just
