Christmas

Liang Weisheng's sobbing voice echoed throughout the living room, carrying unspeakable sadness.Xia Yao has always been soft-hearted, and when he heard Liang Weisheng crying like this, he felt compassion. He couldn't help but tug on La Shixie's sleeve, and whispered in his ear.

"Is there really no other way? Mr. Liang looks very sad, let's help him."

"It's not that I don't help, it's just that I don't even know the cause of Liang Yu's accident, so I really have no way to do it."

Shi Xie shook his head and said softly, he was not being humble but really didn't know what to do.Liang Yu is now in a state of complete death, not the fake life state as before, but a real death, without breathing, walking, or blinking.

And judging from the degree of rot on Liang Yu's body, it doesn't look like it can be formed in a few days at all, but it takes two months to rot to Liang Yu's current state, which happens to be Liang Weisheng and the pawn shop. Time for the boss to make a deal.

In other words... Shi Xie suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and an idea slowly formed in his head.

"Could it be that, in fact, Liang Yu didn't come back to life from the very beginning? I said before that although Liang Yu could breathe, move, and blink, Liang Yu was not angry, and her whole body exuded the aura that a dead person would have. .

I have heard of a secret method, that is, you can use paper dolls, and use special spiritual blessings to make the corpse move. It will look like a human on the surface, but it is still a paper doll inside. Can't eat or drink, and can't excrete normally. "

As soon as Shi Xie finished speaking, Liang Weisheng slowly sat up from the sofa with a complex expression, clasping his trembling hands.

"Xiao...Xiaoyu is like this, she never eats or drinks water, only breathes and blinks, nothing else..."

As Liang Weisheng licked his dry lips, seeing him like this, Xia Yao got up and went to the kitchen to pour two more glasses of water, one for Liang Weisheng and one for Shi Xie.

"But this spell seems to have a time limit."

Shi Xie took a sip of water and pulled Xia Yao to sit beside him.

"But the pawnbroker didn't say..."

Liang Weisheng held the water glass, but no matter how hot the water was, he couldn't warm his cold body. He sipped the hot water with trembling lips, Liang Weisheng's mind went blank, and his tinnitus was severe.

"This is also the strangest point for me. Logically speaking, the owner of the pawnshop is also a businessman, so it is impossible for him to smash his own signboard. Mr. Liang, when you made a deal with the owner of the pawnshop, did he say anything else? if?"

Shi Xie put down the water glass, but after much deliberation, he still had no idea, so he had to look for some clues on Liang Weisheng again.

Liang Weisheng was taken aback when he heard Shi Xie's question, and then he reacted and said slowly.

"Strange words... Let me think about it."

Seeing Liang Weisheng's distraught appearance, Shi Xie and Xia Yao looked at each other, and Xia Yao couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

Liang Weisheng kept thinking about what the pawnshop owner had said to him, but what he said only a few months ago now looked back like it was said many years ago. No matter how he thought about it, he just couldn't think it through.

Holding his hair in frustration, Liang Weisheng wished he could pull his head off and open it to see if it contained straw.

"Mr. Liang, don't worry, think slowly."

Seeing Liang Weisheng's unstable mood at this moment, Xia Yao walked slowly to his side, comforting him softly, and moved his hands

Gently took his arm.

Liang Weisheng didn't know if he heard Xia Yao's comfort, but he still fell into his own world with his head in his arms.

Xia Yao took a deep breath, and suddenly a burst of white light came out of the hand holding Liang Weisheng's arm, and a sense of coolness slowly flowed into Liang Weisheng's body along the blood vessels in his arm, like a spirit like a clear spring in the mountains. Being able to soothe his irritable mood one by one, Liang Weisheng soon began to calm down.

Seeing that using spiritual energy had an effect, Xia Yao's face beamed with joy, and he focused on inputting spiritual energy into Liang Weisheng's body.He no longer needs to use ginseng as a medium to use psychic energy. Shi Xie has found a set of psychic operation skills for him. Although he is not very proficient now, simple output and withdrawal of psychic energy is also easy. It is handy to use.

"Mr. Liang, think back slowly. What did the pawnshop owner say to you? For example, about Liang Yu."

Xia Yao slowed down his tone even more, gently guiding Liang Weisheng to speak.

And Liang Weisheng enjoyed Xia Yao's spiritual energy slowly entering his body, and the cool breath slowly wandered through his limbs, bit by bit cleaning up the accumulation in his body over the past few months The depression of the previous days also swept away the chaos in my mind, and it became a little clearer.

He slowly recalled that a few months ago, he found the pawn shop through the letter, and the strange boy in the blue cloth took him to a big room, where the young boss in the white Tang suit was as gentle as Jade, there is always a faint smile on the corner of her lips

He was a little scared, but more excited.

He heard the pawnbroker ask him:

Welcome to Xiangsizi Pawnshop, this guest, how can I help you?

How did you answer yourself?

Oh, right.

I want my daughter to come back to life, you said you can help me, is it true?

Of course it's true, the guest can bring your daughter back to life, so what are you going to give in exchange?Our pawn shop generally does not accept worldly goods. Customers, you'd better use your most important thing as an exchange item, such as emotion, smell, taste or even your soul.

Then...then what can I exchange, so that you can bring my daughter back to life?

Recently, our store has the latest activities, and you can use a small piece of your happiness as an exchange.

happiness……

That's right, as long as the guest entrusts me with your happiness, your daughter will return to you.

Then I... change!

Alright, guest, just leave yourself to me at ease, don’t worry, when you wake up, your daughter will reappear by your side, you can take her to play and give her the best things in the world, And your endless love, sleep, sleep peacefully...

My daughter, Xiaoyu...

Liang Yu will appear by your side in a brand new appearance. Don't doubt that she is indeed your favorite daughter, she is just sick.Guest, you must treat her well and return all the things you owe.

I will.

Dear guest, you must remember to come on the third day of the second month, otherwise Liang Yu's body may not be able to hold on, so you must come on that day, otherwise, if you miss the time, Da Luo will be killed I can't save it.

I see.

Then I will wait for the guests to come again.

it is good……

Consciousness slowly began to slacken, Liang Weisheng felt as if he was lying on a soft white cloud, the cool breeze was blowing slowly on his cheeks, and the pores on his body seemed to be stretched comfortably.

Xiaoyu...

Xiaoyu...

father!

"Ah—Xiaoyu!"

Liang Weisheng suddenly opened his eyes and panted heavily, and slowly realized that he was sitting on the sofa, and Shi Xie and Xia Yao were watching him.

Liang Weisheng wiped the sweat off his head, leaned back on the sofa a little detached, and slowly remembered what happened before

Come.

"What is wrong with me?"

"You fell asleep just now, I'm sorry, I accidentally injected too much spiritual energy into your body, and your body couldn't support it, so you fell asleep."

Xia Yao apologized to Liang Weisheng with an apologetic face. He forgot that Liang Weisheng was just an ordinary person, so he directly gave Liang Weisheng a lot of psionic energy according to the amount he usually gave Shi Xie.

Seeing Xia Yao apologizing to Liang Weisheng, Shi Xie felt a little upset in an instant, pulled Xia Yao to his side like a calf, and hugged Xia Yao's waist very strongly.

Xia Yao struggled embarrassingly but did not escape Shi Xie's arms, so he had no choice but to let him hold her.

"Xia Yao is also kind, spiritual energy is very precious."

"I know, thank you Mr. Xiaoxia, I feel good now, and I also remembered what the pawnshop owner said to me."

Liang Weisheng thanked him sincerely, he is not a child who doesn't understand things.

"Really? What did the pawnbroker say?"

"He asked me to go to him again on the third day of the second month, otherwise Xiaoyu's body might not be able to support it. But after I came back, too many things happened, so please let me know about this matter. I forgot, it’s already the sixth day of the second month, Xiaoyu’s appearance like this must be what the pawnshop owner said would happen, it’s all my fault! It’s all my fault that I forgot about it, so my daughter , let her..."

Liang Weisheng was so regretful that he wanted to die, but it was a foregone conclusion. It was too late for him to say anything now, Liang Yu was completely out of breath.He missed the time, even the Immortal Da Luo couldn't save Liang Yu now.

"Sometimes there must be something in life, and there is always time in life. Don't force it. Liang Yuming's life is over. You use other methods to imprison her half-soul, but you can't let her reincarnate and become a human again. Maybe it's just for her. It's even more unfair.

And the fate between you and Liang Yu has been broken in this life, why not let her go and let her reincarnate again, maybe in the next life you two can become father and daughter again, and pay back the regrets of this life. "

Shi Xie's words made Liang Weisheng completely silent. Sometimes he also wondered whether Liang Yu, who he did not hesitate to sell his own happiness in exchange for, was still his cute and clever daughter who would call him daddy. Pointless.

Hearing what Shi Xie said now, Liang Weisheng suddenly felt that he was really too selfish and forced Liang Yu to stay with his own persistence, blocking her qualification to start a happy life again, cutting off her reincarnation path, Forcibly adding his own obsession to his favorite daughter, it turned out that he was wrong all along.

It's all his fault...

Chapter 194 Acacia Pawn Shop (Fifteen) [One More] Hanging SLR, stepping on the bluestone path in front of the quaint door, shaking the old rattan chair, accompanied by the fragrance of tea, the gongs and drums, that is Qing Yi Dan's The little song sung by the little boy wearing the tiger hat in the last excerpt

Recounting the deeds of the older generation The misty rainy season and the moss spreads the emptiness The boy in the blue gown is flipping through the yellowed notes Who is recalling

That year, the gorgeous fireworks, the rich and intoxicating aroma of Pu’er in the nose, the red paper lanterns hung in pairs in the courtyard, I know they are recalling the secrets of the ancient alleys, I remember the last play of that year He is feeling sad about his departure. Now that Sansheng has gone, Guiren, whom I haven't seen for a long time, where are you?

The boy holding the oil-paper umbrella is waiting for you alone In his dream, there is a secret flute that resounds in the sky The aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus candy fills my mind So sweetly waiting for the unreturned return Where are you?

The boy with gray temples is still waiting for you

Tears wet the Tsing Yi, leaving a rippling, but he sleeps in his dream Tears wet the Tsing Yi, leaving a rippling, listening to him, but sleeping in...

In his dream...

The candle on the table suddenly burst into sparks, as if waking up from a dream, the pawnbroker stopped beating his palms suddenly, only then did he realize that there was a coolness on his cheeks, and he couldn't help but smile, but that smile But sadly pitiful.

The pawnbroker sat up slowly from the couch, the flickering candlelight reflected his loneliness.

The clean white handkerchief was stained with tears, and the pawnbroker looked blankly at the void, as if looking at another world through the void.

"Yin Sang, I miss you so much, I miss you so much..."

Tears burst the embankment, and the years are no match for loneliness. After the long years, the once young boy has already been stained with loneliness, and he has an ageless face, but his heart has long been exhausted and exhausted.

A sound of missing, a hoarse sentence, the moon and the moon reappear, and it is the same every year.

Waiting for those who have not returned

Where are you..

"Yin Sang, Yin Sang..."

The whimpering sound echoed in the empty room, filled with indescribable sadness and despair, and even the breathing seemed to be suppressed and dull.

The little boy in blue clothes with eye rouge on his face stared blankly at his master who was curled up like a wounded animal and weeping softly. He didn't understand why.

But during the long years when he was with his master, the master always lied on the rocking chair and hummed the familiar song softly, and when he sang, transparent water would flow from his eyes, and then he would whisper calling that same name.

Yin Mulberry

Yin mulberry...

In his blank emotional world, he doesn't understand what kind of state the master is in now, he doesn't know what missing is, and he doesn't understand why the master is so sad.

Probably being a human being is so complicated, with emotions, ups and downs, birth, old age, sickness and death, but it is only a few decades, but you have to go through so many life tests.

Just like sadness, despair, happiness, sweetness, happiness, and helplessness, human beings obviously have all kinds of emotions and can experience many different worlds, but why do they come to exchange other things with their masters?

Money, rights, beauties, are these really more precious than one's own emotions?

Do those mundane things really bring happiness to people?

He doesn't understand.

The little boy tilted his head, and the two buns on top of his head swayed from side to side as he moved.

He is just a paper man, he has no emotions, he can't feel the ups and downs that the master said, and he doesn't understand what seven is.

Love and six desires.

But he knows that the master has been collecting something called happiness. The master said that this kind of thing is the most precious thing in the world. People who have happiness are equivalent to having money, rights, beauties, and even more things.

But why do those people exchange happiness with their masters for those worthless things?

The owner said it was because of greed and unsatisfaction.

Are greed and insatiability also human emotions?

That human life is really tiring.

It's better to be yourself, a paper man.

Ignorant and unconscious, although you will not be happy, you will not be sad. Although you do not know sweetness, you will not taste bitterness.

So it's better to be a paper figurine.

"Lan Yi, come here."

Shaking his head and thinking, the pawnshop owner's voice suddenly rang out.Lan Yi moved his head in a daze, and reacted slowly for a while. It took him a long time to realize that it was his master's voice. He put down the broom in his hand, walked slowly to the side of the pawn shop owner, and stared at him with a pair of empty eyes. he.

The pawnshop owner had calmed down his emotions at this moment, stopped crying, and had a gentle smile on his face again, but this smile was more gentle and real.

"Lan Yi, what day is it today?"

"Master, today is the sixth day of October in the lunar calendar."

"It's the sixth day... It's been three days, and I'm afraid that girl can't be saved."

The pawnshop owner picked up the tea on the table and took a sip lightly. As said above, there was no fluctuation in his tone. I don't know if he didn't care or he sighed somewhat.

"Master, why can't I save you? You are so powerful."

The boy's voice is immature and cute, but his intonation is flat and waveless, like a machine-synthesized voice. It's so regular that people can't hear anything wrong, but it's hard to hear it, and it fits well with his stiff facial expression. .

The pawnshop owner had long been used to hearing his voice, and he didn't feel anything. He still sipped his tea casually, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Even the Jade Emperor cannot change the matter of fate..."

As the pawnshop owner thought of something, his face suddenly sank, and he put the teacup on the desk with a bang.The splashed tea splashed on the desk and wet the pawnbroker's white sleeves.

Lan Yi tilted his head, not understanding why the pawnbroker was suddenly angry again. He stretched out his hand to grab the void, and a clean white rag appeared in his hand.

"Master, your sleeves are wet."

Bending down to wipe the water stains on the desk, the little boy reminded his master.His master is good at everything, but he doesn't know how to take care of himself. As his personal servant, Lan Yi feels that he has a long way to go.

"nothing."

The pawnshop owner looked at the light yellow stain on his white sleeves, couldn't help but frowned, and with a wave of his hand, his sleeves turned red again.

Be clean and white.

"Yin Sang likes me to wear white the most, but I can't let the tea stain stain his eyes."

"Master, is Yin Sang my great master?"

Lan Yi put away the rag, and in his blank head, he seemed to recall that the master had mentioned to him a long time ago that it was Yin Sang who created him, so the master kept him by his side.

"Yes, he created you to accompany me temporarily instead of him."

As soon as Master Yinsang's face softened a lot, Lan Yi moved his head strangely, but still didn't understand.

"Master, do you want to rest?"

"No, I'll go see him."

Shaking his head lightly, the pawnbroker stood up from his chair, but Lan Yi sullenly moved closer to him and sniffed a few times.

"what happened?"

Raising his eyebrows, the pawnshop owner also raised his arm and smelled it. Apart from the smell of incense he usually ordered, there was nothing strange about it.

"The master has other smells, not the smell of incense, but the smell of peony."

Lan Yi said in a flat voice, his nose has always been very good, he remembers the smell of the master very clearly, it is impossible to smell it wrong.

"It smells like peony..."

The pawnshop owner was taken aback for a moment, raised his arm and sniffed again, but he still didn't smell anything, but his thoughts suddenly returned to the scent of flowers that he smelled suddenly when he sent the homeless guest home at the end. A playful smile slowly formed on the corner of his lips.

"interesting."

"Owner?"

"Lan Yi, go and get my life-seeing mirror."

"Good host."

Lan Yi agreed, turned around and walked in the other direction of the room, and walked back after a while holding a large round mirror.

The mirror is very simple, the mirror surface has been wiped very clean, only some complicated patterns are engraved on the surrounding mirror frame, it looks like an ordinary mirror from the outside.

Lan Yi erected the mirror on the mirror holder on the table, and the pawnbroker sat on the chair facing the mirror, took out a delicate wooden box from the drawer on the desk, opened it carefully, and saw a half-box inside. A powder that emits a faint blue light.

The pawnshop owner twisted a small cluster of powder from the box with his fingers and sprinkled all on the Wangsheng mirror.

I saw that when the powder just touched the Wangsheng mirror, a burst of light blue light suddenly burst out from the Wangsheng mirror.The pawnshop owner was muttering something, and saw the light on the Wangsheng mirror slowly dissipate, but the surface of the mirror seemed to be like a stone dropped into a calm lake, and suddenly there were circles of ripples.

"Liu Sheng was born in Yichou, Bingxu, Renwu and Bingwu.

Investigate vitality, look at luck, look at life mirror, turn yin and yang—"

As soon as the owner of the pawnshop finished speaking, a burst of blue light suddenly burst out from the Wangsheng mirror. Immediately afterwards, some pictures slowly appeared on the mirror of the Wangsheng mirror. It's getting clearer.

The pawnshop owner leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, and stared intently at the picture on the Wangsheng mirror.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a famous brand and a big gold chain with the thickness of a finger hanging around his neck. He was lying on the large Simmons bed with his left and right arms, and was teasing and laughing with two charming women. The demeanor of a deputy nouveau riche.

There were indelible rough marks on the middle-aged man's face and hands. This was the tramp, but it could also be said that this was not the tramp.

What I received was indeed the poverty and happiness of this person, and then brought him wealth, so now this tramp is possessing wealth and is no longer poor.

But the person who made a deal with him was not this tramp, but another person, another person who exchanged fate with the tramp.

The smile on the corner of the pawnbroker's lips became even more playful. With a sweep of his hand, the picture on the Wangsheng mirror suddenly disappeared, and it returned to the appearance of an ordinary mirror.

"A descendant of God of War Blood? Interesting, it's really interesting."
