Ghosts have fairies

Qi Tong only felt that all the blood rushed to the heart in an instant, and every impact became hot, forcing the whole heart to sink, and the tip of the heart was so hot that it hurt.

"What did you say?" He tightened He Zhen's wrist in disbelief. In a place like the Wannian Tomb, he found it scary for Xiao Zongzi to stay in it for several years. What a terrifying concept it is to "grow up inside" ?

"Since you came to ask me, you should have guessed a general idea." He Zhen let Qi Tong hold his hand, as if he could get some comfort from the person opposite, "I am not the illegitimate child of the Queen of Heaven. I am ..." He opened his mouth several times with difficulty, and finally said: "I am the biological son of King Lingjiang and Goddess Zhangxue."

Feeling that the hand holding him was tighter, and soon loosened, He Zhen's heart sank, but within three seconds Qi Tong grabbed his fingertips again, maintaining a reassuring expression. He Zhen was a little thankful that he didn't ask a bunch of questions that he couldn't resist for a while when he said that sentence just now.

"The relationship between Immortal Lingjiang and Goddess Zhangxue is actually not as absurd as it has been rumored in the Three Realms." He Zhen looked at Qi Tong, "They are in love."

"Goddess Snow Palm went with him voluntarily?"

"Yes. In the matter of Qi'an Town, Lingjiang Immortal Lord just didn't have time to save half of the people, but everyone thinks that gods love the world, and gods should cherish the common people and protect all living beings. When it comes to gods, it seems that everything must be done. Both. Otherwise, you will be incompetent, and you will not save yourself.”

"This kind of thing doesn't happen very often, but it happened to be happened to Lingjiang Xianjun. He had tried his best to save half of the townspeople in Qi'an Town, but he was blamed by the Emperor of Heaven and the people of the Three Realms, because they only saw another A person who died in vain. Rumors circulated in the Three Realms. In order to make the matter more dramatic, the good people distorted the original facts, causing this matter to spread more and more outrageous. In the end, everyone believed that this matter was caused by Ling Jiang Xianjun Wrong, some even said that he killed those townspeople."

"Rumors and rumors brought him great pain, but he has been suffering in silence. Until the day the Emperor ordered him to be escorted to Yujing Mountain for punishment, his own brother, not only did not clarify for himself when he was deeply involved in rumors, but also stood up. Accusing myself of incompetence on the opposite side of myself, even punishing me, and..."

He Zhen's lips trembled, and just as he was about to continue, Qi Tong took the lead and said, "I also canceled my engagement with my beloved fairy."

Rubbing his face with the other hand that was not being held, He Zhen nodded lightly, with a tired tone, "They escaped on the way to Yujing Mountain, and fled to the human world, wandering. The Emperor of Heaven probably thought Knowing that I have done too well, although some heavenly soldiers were sent to the human world to look for them, they did not chase too closely. But what is the use, the Heavenly Emperor does not know what he thinks, there are always some heavenly soldiers who can't turn their minds and find out their whereabouts I'm chasing after him, and I want to claim credit for it."

"Three years after they hid in the human world, they had me." He Zhen sniffed and said, "Lingjiang Xianjun searched for a long time in a deep mountain for his wife to have a quiet and safe environment to raise her baby. A hidden place. Because he was afraid that heavenly soldiers would break in, he spent a lot of effort and set up a special barrier. As long as someone broke in, there would be some misleading roads in the barrier to lead them out of the mountain. Besides, the residence of him and his wife will never be found. The later Wannian Tomb should be based on that barrier."

"I grew up in that enchantment until I was four years old. I lived in safety during those four years. After I can remember things, I feel that I was happy during those days."

Qi Tong pinched his fingertips and asked softly, "Have you been discovered?"

He Zhen nodded, "After my mother came to the human world, she ran around with my father. Her spiritual power was seriously depleted, and her health became poor after giving birth to me. That day they planned to go to the town below the mountain to catch A few medicines, and some things to buy by the way. Because I was too young, they would leave a person to take care of me when they left the barrier before, but this time they were going to see a doctor. They were afraid that it would be unsafe for me to stay in the barrier alone. Take me with you too."

"That was the first time I left the barrier, and the first time I saw what the outside world looked like." He Zhen forced a smile, "I was so excited when I went to the town, I was curious about everything, I saw I want everything. When I passed by a candy man’s stall, I couldn’t move my whole body. I draw a sugar man in my own shape."

"My father and mother loved me very much, so they stopped to buy one for me. The peddler kept saying that I was cute, which caused many wives to come and pinch my face when passing by. But when there are too many people, it will be conspicuous A group of celestial soldiers disguised as mortals happened to be patrolling and passing by that street, and at a glance they found my father and mother among the crowd."

"They didn't dare to stay any longer. They left the silver to the peddler and ran away with me in their arms. Those heavenly soldiers chased us all the way to the mountain, and the barrier kept them out. They didn't find us after several rounds. My dad has actually been staring at them for the past few days, and found that the leader is a person with a strong sense of justice but no brains. He has a lot of prejudice against my dad because of the Qi'an Town incident, and he is now trapped in the mountains. Going around in circles, feeling ashamed in front of his subordinates, he suddenly became angry and called more companions, intending to attack us directly once they find us."

"My father and mother have been restless for half a month, let alone with such a young me. They have struggled for a long time, and they know that if they hide like this, there will never be a solution. My father does not want my mother to live with me again. This kind of life, I decided to go to Yujing Mountain and accept the 300-year ice punishment from the Emperor of Heaven, and let my mother and I live near Yujing Mountain. Although it is wronged and painful, but 300 years of separation is exchanged for a long-term family. It's better to stay together than to not know what accident will happen next moment every day."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, his eyes turned red, and the tears in his eyes didn't fall. He Zhen quickly wiped it with his hand, and buried his face in his palm with this movement, without making a sound for a long time .

Qi Tong didn't urge him, but carefully rubbed the back of his hand, as if comforting a wounded animal.He knew the reason why He Zhen was so uncomfortable, because after that, there was the Yongning Village incident, that turning point, everything seemed to turn bad from then on.

The cable car outside the window walked back and forth a few times, the night lights in the room gave off a warm light, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of them reflected their figures. He Zhen looked at his own reflection between his fingers, and suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. From then on, the cold washed through every blood vessel, as if a layer of frost had formed on the path, so cold that he couldn't help bending his legs and hugging his body tightly.

With his movements, the hands holding each other were also released. Qi Tong looked at his thin back and could only rub against his side again, as if this could convey some warmth to the other party.

"My father tricked the heavenly soldiers..." He Zhen choked up when he spoke, and took a few deep breaths before he calmed down, "... let them chase us in the opposite direction from where we started. We didn't dare to catch up too much along the way. Urgent, I was afraid that my mother would not be able to take it personally, and I was too young to be tired from the journey. So on the way to Yujing Mountain, we tensed our nerves every day, afraid that those heavenly soldiers would realize that they had been fooled, and that they would not be able to catch up. It hurt us indiscriminately."

"Just when we were about to arrive at Yujing Mountain, my parents finally found a chance to see the doctor, because they wanted to give my mother some medicine, so our family stayed in a small town under the mountain for a few days. We didn't dare to stay in an inn. , I was afraid that I would meet Sanxian who went down to play. It happened that the wife of a merchant was just pregnant with a child. Seeing that I was so young, she liked me very much, so she lent us an empty house near the foot of the mountain for a few days. There is a village……"

Qi Tong murmured, "Yongning Village."

He Zhen nodded wearily.

He put one hand on He Zhen's back and gently ran it, not daring to ask what happened in Yongning Village that day?Why did Goddess Palm Snow die there?He suddenly felt that he was cruel, thinking that he would be able to exchange his information with the other party at the same value by explaining his own affairs first, but he didn't think that he was forcing the other party to open a wound that might not have healed completely.

"I'm sorry." Qi Tong almost hugged him from behind, and said softly: "Go and rest for a while, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

"I didn't plan to keep hiding it from you, but I just didn't know how to open it." He Zhen's voice was very muffled, and he seemed to find some kind of vengeful pleasure in this kind of telling, and he felt a little better after speaking out, " We really don’t know about the ghosts’ invasion of Yongning Village, I only know that that night, I went back to the house with the mung bean cake that a big brother gave me.” He said and turned his head to look at Qi Tong, but the other party was still the same With a sad expression, no other expressions were revealed because of a certain sentence of his.

The child doesn’t remember anything, but it seems that Qi Tong really forgot about the delivery of mung bean cakes in front of the wonton stall. He was suddenly disappointed, but he concealed it very well, and continued: “That was the first time I received someone else’s cake. I still remember being very happy with the things I gave you.”

He felt that he and Qi Tong were destined after all. The mung bean cake was the first thing he received, and the clumsy wooden hairpin was the first thing he received that was made by others. They all came from Qi Tong. "But as soon as I entered the house, there were sounds of fighting outside the house."

Qi Tong found that he was buried in his knees again, his fingers were trembling slightly, it was the first time he thought he was so stupid, he couldn't even comfort him.But the person in front of him was not silent for too long, and suddenly raised his red eyes, holding on to prevent tears from falling. I don't know if it was Qi Tong's illusion. He always felt that the other party looked at him not only with grievances, but also with a little plead.

"Can you..." Seeing the people next to him staring at him intently, He Zhen dodged his eyes in embarrassment, "... hug me?"

He wished he could crush this man in his arms.Qi Tong leaned over to hug him, stroking his shoulder with one hand and wrapping his waist with the other, holding him in his arms in an absolutely protective gesture.

The man didn't know if he was tired, or if he really felt insecure when he remembered the past, but when he buried him in his arms, his whole body relaxed, like a cat sleeping in his arms.

"I don't know why that night, the Heavenly Soldiers and Yin Soldiers surrounded us a few times. My parents were decocting medicine in the kitchen. When they heard the movement, they quickly set up a barrier, but too many people came to us. They It didn't take long for the enchantment to be broken."

"The Heavenly Soldiers who came to the door asked my father why he released a ghost to slaughter Yongning Village." He Zhen laughed sarcastically, "But how do we know, even on the first day we arrived here, except for the pharmacy, we almost never left that house .”

Qi Tong frowned and asked, "Who told the Heavenly Soldiers and Yin Soldiers that the ghosts in Yongning Village were released by your father?"

"Everyone said that." He Zhen pressed his forehead against his collarbone, and when he spoke, his breath hit his neck, which was very warm and a little itchy.Only the person in his arms went on to say: "My father denied it and asked them to take him to Yongning Village to have a look. He left my mother and me at the foot of the mountain first, he thought... those heavenly soldiers would not move us......"

Qi Tong gasped, his breathing was unsteady, his fingertips felt cold, "Did they hurt you?"

"They didn't expect my parents to have a child. I was alone in the house at the time, and I was scared when I heard the sound, so I ran out to find them."

He Zhen's thoughts gradually drifted to that night long ago.

-

The mung bean cake was accidentally dropped on the ground, and the cakes were covered with a layer of dust, and a lot of them were broken.

The child who had never tasted mung bean cake curled his lips in distress. Thinking of the happy expression of the big brother when he accepted it in the morning, He Zhen felt sad. He still wasted his heart.

Afraid of dirtying other people's houses, the little meaty hand was about to pick up the things that fell on the ground, when the sound of weapons clashing began again outside, and a dazzling light flashed by, almost opening the opposite window.

The child was terrified by the accident, and ran out to find his father and mother on short legs, but as soon as he went out, he saw strangers wearing gold armor and holding weapons in the yard, and his mother was Surrounded in the center of the yard.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, the strangers in the yard suddenly turned to him with their weapons in hand. The child, who had never seen such a battle before, cried out in fright.

"Mother, mother." With tears in his eyes, little Hezhen wanted to find his mother, but just two steps away, a group of heavenly soldiers surrounded him instantly, pointing their spears at his chest and back. Heart.

"Don't! Don't hurt him!" Goddess Zhangxue struggled to hug her child, but was blocked by the heavenly soldiers behind her.

"Whose child is this?" The leader cast a disdainful glance at Little He Zhen who was sitting on the ground, and said to the Goddess of Snow Palm, "Immortal Lingjiang not only disregarded other people's lives, but even forced the fairy to give birth to this evil child!" !"

"Shut up! My husband and child, it's your turn to make irresponsible remarks?" Goddess Snow Palm was anxious and annoyed, she just wanted to hug the little child into her arms, and shouted behind her: Give me back my child!"

Probably because the child was too young to cause any damage, the leader signaled his subordinates to take the child over. The heavenly soldiers received the order to put away their long spears, and the point of the spear accidentally passed little He Zhen's eyes when they were closing, the child He was so scared that he raised his hand to block it.

He was originally a fairy fetus, but he was frightened again this night. The spiritual power was released from his palm for the first time, but even the child himself didn't know what it was, and couldn't control the power. The gun was thrown out.

This was unexpected by everyone, the leader reacted very quickly, raised his hand and summoned two chains to bind the child's hands and feet.Because of this sudden episode, the group of heavenly soldiers surrounded him with spears again, and when the chains bound the child's white and tender skin, there was a golden light, and little He Zhen felt that his whole body was being cut by knives, and cried out in pain.

Goddess Palm Snow was about to run over in a panic, but a pair of hands behind her quickly grabbed her, no matter how hard she tried to break free, she couldn't move half a step, "Don't! Let him go quickly, he's still so young and can't control his spiritual power, don't you hurt him!"

"This kind of evil wants to hurt people at a young age, and the blood flowing in it must be as cruel as Lingjiang Xianjun. Why bother to panic about this kind of evil, as long as you return to the heaven, you will still be the goddess of palm snow admired by thousands of people."

"If you dare to touch him, I'll tell the Emperor and Queen of Heaven, you don't know right from wrong, you kill innocent people indiscriminately, and you don't even want to let children go!"

The leader snorted, "We are here to arrest people under the order of the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven did say that he would capture Immortal Lingjiang alive, but if the Immortal is unwilling to cooperate, we can naturally use more brutal methods to arrest people." Bring it back. What's more, this little villain appeared suddenly, and the Emperor of Heaven never said he would save his life."

"Mother, mother, it hurts." Little Hezhen sat on the ground on the other side. It rained last night in that small town, and the floor was wet and dry, after which a lot of plaster gathered, and the child's clothes and shoes were dirty. , Bai Shengsheng's little face was covered with tears, looking extremely pitiful.

The leading heavenly soldier was annoyed by the cry of the child, and stretched out his hand to withdraw the chain, intending to let the child go to the mother by himself, but who would have thought that this stout man, who had never dealt with children before, had neither light nor heavy hands and feet, and was infused with spiritual power. The chain rubbed against the child's skin and retracted, scraping off a layer of flesh from the delicate wrists and ankles.

The child cried out in pain, and the already unstable spiritual power on his body erupted at this moment. The spiritual power brought a gust of wind and knocked out the spears in the hands of several heavenly soldiers in front of him, and even knocked out the wooden doors of the windows not far away. They were all lifted into the air, and then fell hard, just hitting the feet of the team of heavenly soldiers guarding the gate of the courtyard.

The Heavenly Soldiers surrounding Little He Zhen were startled. The muscular reaction that had been trained for many years did not even have time to think about this accident. They even stretched out their hands and sent them forward. —The tips of the three spears just sank directly into the back of little Hezhen.

***

Qi Tong hugged the person in his arms tightly, he never thought that his heart could be hurt so much for a person, the throbbing pain made his eyes covered with mist.He realized that he really hated all the people who hurt He Zhen. At that moment, he really wanted to go back to the past and kill those heavenly soldiers.

He rubbed the head of the person in his arms, his voice was hoarse and choked, "Is it very painful?"

He Zhen's forehead rested on Qi Tong's shoulder. It had been more than 1000 years, and he had already forgotten the pain in his heart after the cold weapon pierced into it. He only remembered that his mother went crazy before his little consciousness began to blur. After breaking free, those heavenly soldiers ran over and hugged him in their arms. Those heavenly soldiers probably didn't expect it, and they didn't dare to make any moves to stop her for a while.

"He Zhen, He Zhen, look at mother..."

His mother's snow-white dress was stained with bright red blood and dusty dust, tears dripped down his face, but mother's tears gushed out of her eyes as if they couldn't stop.

A hand caressed his back, and the wound there seemed to be covered by a layer of fresh snow, but the snow seemed to be warm, and instantly melted into a handful of spring water, and the cold body seemed to be reinfused with vitality.Before he fell asleep, he saw his mother touching his face with tears in her eyes, and kissing his forehead like she did every night when she was sleeping.

"He Zhen is not afraid, mother will let you live."

***

"My mother exchanged her life for her life and saved me." He Zhen's eyelashes seemed to have crystal drops of water, but they disappeared when he lowered his head, "When I woke up again, I was in a In the open space of the barren mountain, the surrounding heavenly soldiers disappeared, only my father's face was haggard and pale, and his eyes were swollen, as if he had been crying for a long time."

"I asked him, where is mother?" He Zhen smiled self-deprecatingly, "After hearing my words, my father stood up as if bitten by a poisonous snake, and strangled my neck. I He couldn't even make a sound, he could only cry, and later he probably felt that my mother had changed my life, and he couldn't bear to let my mother 'die' a second time, so he let go."

"Then he threw you into the Wannian Tomb?" Qi Tong rubbed his forehead, "A tiger's poison does not eat its child, your father loves your mother so much, why would he do this to their children?"

"My father went crazy when he heard the news of my mother's death. He endured the unwillingness and grievance for so long, but my mother's death was like the last straw that crushed him. He slaughtered the whole building that night. Small town. When those heavenly soldiers fell into his hands, he didn’t dare to admit that he injured me first and then my mother died in exchange for her life. He only said that my spiritual power was unstable and almost injured a whole yard of people. They saw that I was too young to touch me, and in the end I accidentally knocked out the spear and injured myself, my mother couldn't bear it, so she gave her life in exchange for me."

He Zhen let go of his strength in his arms, and her voice lowered, "Heavenly soldiers are also afraid of death. They thought that my father would let them go, but my father has gone crazy and didn't keep any of them."

"Your father believed what they said?"

"Maybe I believe it, maybe I don't believe it." He Zhen shook his head, "I was too young at the time, and I didn't even know what spiritual power was, and I was injured again. When I grew up, I quarreled with him once, only to find out that he listened. What happened was like this, I explained it to him, but it was useless, what he cared about was never the process, but the result of the tragedy, the woman he loved the most died and could never come back, and I , is also one of the reasons leading to this result.”

"He thought of my mother when he saw me, so he threw me into the Wannian Tomb. First, he didn't have to look at me every day. Second, I just recovered my life, and my spiritual power and consciousness were not stable. I could use the tomb to raise her." kill me."

"After that night, he became the King of Lingjiang in the mouths of the Three Realms. He did not distinguish between black and white, and morbidly retaliated against the Three Realms. Wherever he went, blood flowed like a river, and everyone ended up dying. I love him, but every time I hear someone mention my parents, the first thing I think of is the day when he and my mother held my hand and jumped over the puddles after the rain. I was really happy at that time, I thought In the future, we don't have to hide in Tibet anymore, and the family can live in peace." He Zhen curled up again.

"But that night, I lost everything."

Qi Tong hugged him and shook him gently, "Did he not tell you what happened in Yongning Village that night?"

He Zhen shook his head, thinking that he didn't believe it, and explained: "I only know that our family has been together since they came back from the pharmacy that day, and he was indeed not responsible for the invasion of Yongning Village by the ghosts."

Seeing what this man was thinking, Qi Tong said, his voice was very soft in the bedroom shrouded in night lights, "I believe you, what I'm talking about is not about the invasion of the ghost, but about the ghost that hit the villagers after the ghost invaded that night. The sacrificial lamp at home burned half of the village, and half of the ghosts and villagers were burned to death inside, my dad said, that is the original appearance of the bone and flesh lamp."

The person in his arms was startled, "What?!"

"That's why I'm very surprised. I understand that mortals can't escape the fire. It shouldn't be difficult for those ghosts to escape, but in everyone's description, why are ghosts trapped in it and didn't escape until the fire was extinguished?"

"Do you suspect that there were other people who deliberately trapped them at the scene?"

Qi Tong didn't answer, but wiped his nose, and asked cautiously: "You have been in the Wannian Tomb all these years...how did you get here? Why did you go to the heaven afterward?"

"Qi Tong." He Zhen hugged his knees and called out to him sullenly.

He loosened his arms a little so that he could see the man clearly, "Huh?"

He Zhen raised his eyes to look at him, warm light reflected in his clear eyes, "I'm hungry."
