Life Continuation Manual [Quick Transmigration]

20.

In Shicun, the sun is scorching hot, and there are children pushing and shoving at the entrance of the village.

When the monk approached them, he just heard them arguing about something.

"I don't want to give things to that weird guy in the back mountain!"

"Neither do I!"

"Me too!"

"...But," a child surrounded in the middle hesitated, "the grandpa of the village chief asked us to give him gifts, isn't it because he helped drive away the horse bandits in the village? The grandpa of the village chief said that he is a good man. "

"But he's so ugly!"

"Yes, yes! Not only is he ugly, I even secretly saw him sleeping with a tombstone in his arms!"

"Ah, it's so scary! Then let's not go!"

"But, but..." The child, who was still hesitating just now, was even more entangled now, but no one was willing to accompany him, and he was also afraid of going alone.

"Hey, who are you?"

A child spotted the figure of the young monk, and looked curiously at this bald brother who looked gentle and gentle.

Chang Yuan glanced at the stone inscription at the entrance of Shicun village from afar, with a dazed expression, and when he saw a child approaching him, he smiled and asked, "Is there a new resident in your village?"

"New here? No!" A child shook his head, and within a few seconds, someone mysteriously approached Chang Yuan and said, "But a monster came from the back of our village!"

As he said that, the child said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhssupssesses"

"He looks so ugly, his face is flushed, like a monkey's butt!"

"I heard that he likes to sleep with other people's corpses in his arms!"

"Who said that! That weirdo obviously likes to lie down and sleep in the grave! He comes out to look for food after dark, and he's looking for kids like us! I heard that the weirdo likes to drink boy's pee the most!" A child showed off as if to say .

The children around were startled, and they all let out a long "ah".

Only the child in the middle, holding a cloth bag in his hand, who had been doing nothing all this time, was so frightened that his face turned white and white.

Surrounded by them, Chang Yuan reached out and rubbed the hair of the pale-faced child.

He knelt down and pointed to the package in the child's hand: "Are you going to take this package to the back mountain?"

The child felt comfortable being touched by his palm, and nodded consciously.

"Then, give me this package, how about I help you?" Chang Yuan continued.

"Aren't you afraid?" the child said pitifully.

afraid?

Chang Yuan smiled wryly in his heart.

"Even if I'm afraid of all the monsters in this world, I won't be afraid of him."

Children don't understand.

It's just that his head was rubbed again.

After the young monk had gone far away, the little fellows who were sitting in a group dispersed belatedly, ran into their respective houses, and told the adults about today's new things.

A brother with a bald head and a good-looking smile came to the village, and he even took the initiative to go to the back mountain where the weirdo lives!

The back mountain of Shicun is almost untouched.

Chang Yuan stood under a big tree, surrounded by the faint chirping of insects.

And the "person" he wanted to see was just ten steps away from him.

The man turned his back to him and faced a tombstone, as if he was muttering something.

It seemed that after talking for a long time, he picked up the jug hanging by his waist and drank with his back.

"Small building."

He thought he would not make a sound, but the reality betrayed him completely.

The ears of the man in front of the tomb seemed to move slightly, and then he turned his head slowly.

Chang Yuan thought he would see those familiar eyebrows, but he didn't.

There is no scary red birthmark when you are a "human", nor the gorgeous and complicated totem lines when you are a demon.

Yes, it's just a clean, handsome and unfamiliar face.

Chang Yuan suddenly thought that he had admitted the wrong person.

It's just that the feeling of familiarity between various manners can't deceive people.

"coming."

Shi Xiaolou seemed to be very tired and beat his legs, then stood up from the ground.

His expression was light, and he was not surprised by Chang Yuan's arrival.

"You..., that tombstone."

Chang Yuan looked at the tombstone behind him with some embarrassment, but there was no inscription on the tombstone.

But Shi Xiaolou didn't want to tell him this, he just went to the hut and opened the door: "What do you want to see me for?"

"If there's nothing wrong, can't I come to you?" Chang Yuan asked back.

The steps under Shi Xiaolou's feet did not even pause.

Chang Yuan panicked for some reason.

"That day, I went back. The old abbot... I thought you were dead that day!"

He walked forward quickly, and he didn't know where the courage came from, so he grabbed Shi Xiaolu's arm and stopped him in front of him.

Shi Xiaolou had to look at him.

Chang Yuan's eyes were full of guilt, joy, and panic.

But Shi Xiaolou just frowned slightly.He gently pulled away Chang Yuan's arm, raised his head slightly, raised his eyes slightly, and said firmly, "I thought I was dead too."

"What happened later?" Chang Yuan's voice trembled.

Shi Xiaolou avoided answering, just said: "Just treat me as dead, and don't come here again."

He thought that he would not live long, if... hadn't come to find him, he would have gone with... long ago.

Chang Yuan fell silent.

On the other hand, Shi Xiaolou suddenly smiled, walked straight into the hut, and then walked out with two rather crude porcelain cups.

Taking off the flagon at his waist, Shi Xiaolou poured himself a glass of sake, and then poured him a glass under Chang Yuan's gaze.

"Let's treat it as the last farewell gift." Shi Xiaolou handed the wine glass to Chang Yuan, "This glass of wine is a tribute to our friendship over the years."

"I..." Chang Yuan wanted to say that he was a monk, but he still took the wine glass.

"Since ancient times, monsters have gone the other way. After drinking this cup, you and I will—" Shi Xiaolou said, "There will be no more entanglements in the world."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the sake in the cup in one gulp.

Chang Yuan looked at him, the cup in his hand trembling slightly.Qing Qing tilted his hands slightly, and all the sake spilled on the ground, making Yin wet.

"This glass of wine," Chang Yuan said, looking straight at the wine in the glass that has turned into a clear stream, "The poor monk is the son of the Mo family. The world is in trouble, and the poor monk only wishes to give to the Lord, and his life will be smooth, safe and happy."

A smooth life, peace and joy?

"Heh..." Shi Xiaolou finished drinking the wine in his glass, and suddenly laughed lowly, as if he was drunk, he asked suddenly, "Brother Mo, have you ever liked me? Even..."

"Had."

The clear voice reached Shi Xiaolou's ears, as if he had heard the most beautiful answer, a big smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Looking at his handsome face, Chang Yuan suddenly paused in his heart, followed by surging fear.

He looked at the handsome young man with the blood overflowing from his mouth and the relieved eyes.

It was a glass of poisoned wine.

Chang Yuan unconsciously thought of the old abbot of Gucha Temple.

At that time, the old abbot probably thought he didn't hear it, but he heard the last sentence clearly.

"That's right, can't I accompany you on the way to death?"

Seeing Shi Xiaolou closing his eyes without hesitation, and finally leaning against the unnamed stone tablet with a peaceful expression, Chang Yuan knelt down.

His shoulders were trembling, and he looked up to the sky and laughed until he lost his strength, leaving tears in his eyes...

"My life is nothing but a joke after all!"

Only then did he realize that everything was his own fault in the end.

In the end, he can neither become a Buddha nor a demon.

Cowardice and stupidity will become a lingering shadow for the rest of his life.

Laughing, Chang Yuan felt his thoughts gradually blurred...

Time seems to be pulled back to that blue sky, and everything is still clear.

A little beggar passed by the restaurant, he was still the eldest son of the Mo family in Lingnan, the first moment he saw that person, all the flowers were out of his sight.

The author has something to say:

=. = This is abusing the monk, not the protagonist

Did Ni Meng find out that Xiaolou actually wanted to seek death...

In fact, he just wanted to go back to the real world to find his dear...

However, a certain manual did not show up to pick him up~

that's all.
