Worth the world

As a book of life and death, Lin Yunqi considers himself conscientious and conscientious. He has never filled his own pockets, nor will he use public tools for private use.

If he were asked to sum up his long career experience in the past, there would be only four words: a clear conscience.

Of course, this is all in the past.

"Wu Yi, that bastard..."

At this moment, Lin Yunqi was wandering slowly on his horse in the mountains. After fighting with Wuyi last time, he had been recuperating for more than ten years before he fully recovered from his injuries.

There were a lot of insects and ants in the forest, and the bandits lying in the woods on both sides of the front were almost waiting to die. They each held one end of the rope in their hands, and they had no way to free their hands to drive away the mosquitoes.

The rope is buried under the thin sand. This trick is very effective. As long as the horse is running over, if you pull it hard, even the horse and man will fall badly. Hurt a leg.

"Go slowly." Lin Yunqi complained to the maroon horse under him: "I didn't see me swearing here, it's too bumpy and it will only affect my speech speed."

The robbers in front finally couldn't take it anymore, and they all blocked the middle of the road with swords on their shoulders.

Lin Yunqi was not surprised when he saw it: "The world is not good, I forgive you once, let's step back."

It's a pity that the Bandit couldn't listen to what he said at all, and was immersed in his own world.

"You look really good. I heard that the officials in the capital have some good men."

"This horse can also be sold for a good price."

"Brothers made money today! Find a place to have fun at night!"

Lin Yunqi couldn't help shaking his head as he heard obscenities.He patted the horse's back lightly. The horse was extremely brave and rushed over. When the bandits saw that he still wanted to resist, they immediately raised their swords to slash at the horse.

Lin Yunqi casually snapped his fingers.

The bandit who was aggressive just now seemed to have lost his mind, abruptly withdrew the raised sword, and obediently followed behind the horse.

All the way into the capital, the bandits went to the yamen to surrender in a daze. They usually made a lot of money. Now it was a time when money was tight. When the officers and soldiers heard that they had money, they couldn't wait to take their swords and let one of the bandits lead the way.

Just two steps away, the bandit suddenly yelled: "Sorcerer! Someone cast a sorcerer on me!"

The officer kicked him hard, and the bandit was still yelling 'monster, sorcery'. He desperately tried to break free from the officer and saw a familiar figure in the crowd while looking left and right.

"That's him, he's a monster!"

The people around Lin Yunqi subconsciously took a few glances at him, only to think that this young man is so delicate and tender, how could he be a goblin?

Lin Yunqi said politely: "The world is getting worse, people's hearts are not old, the villain still doesn't forget to pull people into the water at this time. It's okay, I forgive him."

People around him praised him for his integrity.

Lin Yunqi smiled and nodded, turned a corner into another street, and went straight to Hualou.

He stood at the entrance of Hualou, and did not go in for a long time. After a while, he waved in a certain direction instead: "That young master."

Wearing a green shirt, Bai Ci was sitting by the tea shop reading a book, his eyes met and realized that he was calling himself.

"Young master, come quickly!"

Lin Yunqi was enthusiastic and lively, as if he was sure that the other party would come, he never stopped waving his arms.Bai Ci did not disappoint him, he really closed the book and walked over.

As the person approached step by step, Lin Yunqi secretly raised his eyebrows, it was unmistakable, it was these eyes.

He cleared his throat, first pointed out that the Taoist friends around him were not kind, and then said empathetically that he had only been betrayed by his friends.

"Meeting is fate." Lin Yunqi laughed and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink."

Bai Ci refused: "I don't go to Hualou."

Because I saw that the other party's body was a thick black book, I said one more thing: "Please also...keep yourselves clean."

Lin Yunqi was amused, he stayed away from Hualou under the disappointed eyes of the bustard, and followed behind Bai Ci: "My surname is Lin, Lin Yunqi, brother, you..."

Bai Ci didn't look back. He doesn't like to associate with people who are too lively by nature, but Lin Yunqi has a strange temperament, which is hard to be disgusted by people. In addition, he has a nice voice, even if he twitters, he can listen to it. Refreshing.

In the tea shop, Bai Ci's Taoist friends were very polite and offered to hug each other.

Lin Yunqi was not interested in him, the person he was interested in had already sat back in his original position and continued to read books.

"Let me figure it out, brother, your surname should be Bai," Lin Yunqi said to himself, "Baici, a good name."

Bai Ci suddenly raised his eyelids and glanced at him, without asking how the other party knew his name, he just said: "What's so good about it?"

Lin Yunqi was stunned on the spot: "Fortunately..."

For a moment, I couldn't think of anything good to say.

When Lin Yunqi pinched his fingers earlier, the Taoist had already felt extraordinary.

Around the other party, there seemed to be a strange fluctuation at that moment, and Bai Ci was also a little special about this person, the Taoist couldn't help but look at Lin Yunqi a few more times.

There was a sudden silence in the tea shop.

Bai Ci doesn't talk much in daily life, and it's not uncommon for him to not communicate with others for a few days.But Lin Yunqi couldn't do it, he always had an excessive enthusiasm, he hesitated and asked: "Brother Bai, are you happy?"

"..."

After finishing the first sentence, Lin Yunqi immediately asked, "Did you have a happy childhood?"

For so many years, he has always felt guilty.Wuyi's eyes are born to see through all illusions, and it is definitely not a blessing to be obtained by ordinary people. The world is already very chaotic, and seeing some ghosts and ghosts from time to time, life is probably getting more and more hopeless.

Hearing that this was a genuine question, Bai Ci couldn't figure out why a book cared so much about whether he was happy or not, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "If I say I'm not happy, what can you do?"

"To be honest," Lin Yunqi said slowly, "I came out this time not only to do business, but also to heal you."

Bai Ci was silent for a while, and said lightly: "When I was young, my parents were in trouble. After I became sensible, I hated being close to others. I didn't have many friends around me. I didn't even have a family when I was over twenty."

He looked up at Lin Yunqi, and asked expressionlessly, "Where are you going to heal from?"

Lin Yunqi touched his chin and thought: "Lack of love..."

Still lacking a lot of love.

In terms of age, he thinks he can be the ancestor of the other party, Lin Yunqi made up his mind: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat you as my grandson in the future... like a pine tree, I will respect and worship you."

Bai Ci glanced at him: "It's hard for you."

The pronunciation is obviously different, but it can still be rounded.

The Taoist priest stood aside and couldn't help frowning. Bai Ci had always been taciturn, but he would talk so much with people. The key point was that this person didn't look normal.

Lin Yunqi was active and quiet, and after talking a lot, he went directly to the street to buy a recliner.Bai Ci was reading a book, and he was lying beside him, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

The sky gradually darkened, Bai Ci returned to his residence, it was a very remote courtyard, Lin Yunqi waved his hands smartly: "See you tomorrow."

At night, Bai Ci changed into a thin shirt after bathing.

It is early autumn, the weather is slightly cool, and the windows are half open.A head was lying there, and the moment Bai Ci lit the oil lamp, the eyes of both sides met.

From Bai Ci's point of view, it was just a book probing his brain, and it was really impossible to compare him with ordinary disciples.

"When we parted in the afternoon, you said see you tomorrow."

Lin Yun nodded: "It's already tomorrow."

He jumped directly into the window, put down the wild flowers he didn't know where he picked, covered his face and yawned: "Actually, I'm a little sleepy too."

Bai Ci calmly opened the door, the subtext was self-evident.

Lin Yunqi sat down at the table with a sullen face: "On the way I came, I heard that there have been several serial tragedies in the capital recently. When many people woke up, some found that their hands were gone, and some were missing an ear. It's bad luck. He didn't even have a chance to wake up, he just lost his heart."

He held his chin and tapped his fingers on the table: "It's really rare to see monsters who like to steal parts of people's bodies."

After talking to himself, Lin Yunqi squinted at the door and reprimanded him, "Don't stand at the door and blow the wind, what should you do if you catch a cold?"

Bai Ci was indeed laughed angrily by him, and sat down across the table: "So what do you want?"

"Protect you." Lin Yunqi said confidently, "If I don't protect a frail scholar, sooner or later he will be gnawed to the bone."

Uninvited to say that he is such a person, every night after that, Lin Yunqi will climb the window, put together a few stools and fall asleep.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the days of pouring rain are no exception.

"Brother Bai, you are so friendly, you even keep the window open for me!"

Lin Yunqi wiped the water from his forehead, and found that there were two cups on the table, one of which was steaming, obviously just poured hot tea.

In this weather, drinking a cup of hot tea can just dispel the cold air on your body.Lin Yunqi picked up the teacup, his ears twitched, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly cooled down.

After a cup of tea, he lay down on the chair: "Brother Bai, it's getting late, go to bed early."

After all, without waiting for the other party's consent, the candle was blown out, and the room was instantly dark.

Bai Ci seemed to have long been used to his unreasonable playing of cards. He closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became even.

The raindrops fell heavily on the eaves, and after bouncing a few times, the splashed water did not fall to the ground, but fell into a mass of black shadows.The stone bricks on the ground have been in disrepair for a long time, and many potholes have gathered into pools. The black shadow's body seems to be weightless, passing by the water surface, there is no sound except for the waves.

It tried in vain to sneak into the room silently, but when it was only one step away from the last step, a blue figure suddenly flashed past, firmly stuck on the neck of the owner's black shadow, Lin Yunqi tiptoed on the wall, and flew more than ten feet away.

The black shadow was thrown heavily on the ground, splashing mud and water.

It was windy tonight, and a few long hairs were hanging down in front of his forehead, Lin Yunqi lowered his head and said with a sneer, "It turned out to be a mountain ghost."

The whole body of the mountain ghost is covered with long black hair, and its vision is not affected in the slightest at night, and it can clearly see the smile slowly evoked from the corner of the opponent's mouth.Under the shadow of death, the mountain ghost trembled all over.

"What are you here to steal?"

The mountain ghost made a few sounds.

Lin Yunqi actually understood, and lowered his eyes, unable to see his expression clearly: "Steal your eyes..."

The mountain ghost groaned a few more times, meaning that someone sent it to do this job, and as long as it was let go, it would be willing to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes.

The smile on the corner of Lin Yunqi's mouth widened when he heard this, and with a slight movement in his hand, accompanied by a crisp click, the mountain ghost's head tilted, and the astonishment in his pupils had not completely dissipated.

The pitch-black corpse was thrown casually in the bushes, Lin Yunqi turned around and flew in another direction.

……

The master-servant contract is broken.

The Taoist frowned tightly, the mountain ghost had no ability to cancel the contract, most likely because of an accident.For some reason, he was still uneasy tonight, and after careful consideration, he decided to return to the teacher's gate temporarily.

As soon as the door opened, there was a figure standing in the courtyard. Hearing the sound, the man turned around and tilted his head slightly: "You tamed the mountain ghost and wanted to steal Bai Ci's eyes?"

The Taoist priest hid the arrow in his sleeve, and asked without changing his expression, "What mountain ghost?"

"I'm very envious of Bai Ci's eyes that see through emptiness, don't you?"

Lin Yunqi approached him step by step.

The Taoist didn't hesitate anymore, and stabbed Lin Yunqi with an arrow in his sleeve.

Seeing that the arrow was almost reaching the throat, Lin Yunqi did not dodge, and when he was about to be pierced by the arrow, the sleeve arrow suddenly stopped a few centimeters in front of the throat.

Time stopped at this moment, and at the same time there were water droplets in the air. Lin Yunqi waved his hand, knocked down the arrow, and walked in front of the Taoist in a few steps.

The Taoist priest was inexplicably horrified by this method of ghosts and ghosts, and stepped back again and again: "Who are you?"

Lin Yunqi waved his sleeves, and the Taoist priest was lifted up by an invisible force and fell heavily on the wall. He wiped off the blood from the corners of his mouth, made a tactic with both hands, and shouted: "Go!"

The golden light quickly escaped into the ground, Lin Yunqi stomped his feet, and the thing that was about to break through the ground was mercilessly annihilated.

He almost teleported in front of the Taoist priest, leaned over and said with a sneer, "Bai Ci's eyes were given to me."

The Taoist opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to ask the reason, but found that he could only make a 'babbling' sound. He lowered his head and saw a hole in his throat at some point. The sleeve arrow used to assassinate Lin Yunqi.

A bunch of questions that were not asked could only be stuck in the throat until death, and the Taoist priest hung his hands powerlessly, and fell by the wall to die.

……

On a rainy night, Lin Yunqi used the rain to wash off the blood on his hands. When he returned to the familiar courtyard, the lights in the house were on.

There was another cup of hot tea on the table.

Bai Ci leaned against the bed, half-closed his eyelids: "I remember you said that blowing the night wind is not good."

As soon as the words fell, the night wind blew Lin Yunqi's belt and sleeves, and the smell of blood was blown into the room.

Lin Yunqi: "Sorry, I killed your friend."

"He's not my friend." Bai Ci opened his eyes: "But he wants to be the most powerful Taoist priest in the world, to subdue demons and eliminate demons to save the world and help the people."

Lin Yunqi said contemptuously: "So you want to steal your eyes?"

Bai Ci sighed softly: "He went the wrong way. Most of the people whose body parts were stolen a few days ago were also vicious people."

Lin Yunqi raised his eyebrows. In the Taoist priest's plan, Bai Ci seemed to be the only one who was truly innocent, but this was definitely not a reason to feel at ease and harm others.There is also the mountain ghost, once it becomes an adult, it must feed on human flesh and blood all the time, and it likes to steal babies most of all.

Thinking of this, he hated iron for not being strong: "Are you foolishly letting others kill you?"

"There is always a reason for a person to approach another person. I can see the real body of the monster, but I don't have the power to subdue the monster. He can just make up for the shortcomings."

As he spoke, Bai Ci stood up slowly: "Besides, even if you hide, you can't hide."

The methods used by Taoists to find people are unpredictable.

Lin Yunqi immediately straightened his back and said seriously, "Believe it or not, my reason for approaching you is very simple."

Bai Ci smiled without saying a word.

Outside the window, Lin Yunqi drank hot tea, Bai Ci bowed his head slightly, as if it was just an ordinary night.

Lin Yunqi didn't notice, there would occasionally be a moment when Bai Ci would pay attention to him from the corner of his eye, with a smile on his brow.

In the sound of rain falling, Bai Ci recalled a long time ago, as if someone wiped his eyes vaguely, and then whispered in his ear——

I will definitely come back to find you, no matter what happens, I will wait until that day.

After speaking, the man in blue touched his forehead, and the relevant memory began to blur a little bit. The young Bai Ci desperately opened his eyes, but only remembered a vague outline.

In the years to come, whether it was ransacking the house or being in trouble, Bai Ci would think of this sentence every time he could not hold on anymore, and continued to wait in the hopeless days.

Many years later, when he saw the figure standing in front of the flower building, he knew that the person deep in his memory was coming back to fulfill his promise.

But this time, Bai Ci could finally see the other person's face clearly.

Lin Yunqi sighed contentedly when the cup of hot tea was drained. He tilted his head, and the eyes of both sides collided abruptly.

"what happened?"

Why are you staring at yourself?

Bai Ci: "It just suddenly occurred to me that there is something you will never know."

Lin Yunqi raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

Bai Ci hardened his heart and didn't answer.

Lin Yunqi, who hated charades the most in his life, blew out the light and got into his bed in a fit of anger: "If you don't make it clear today, you'll sleep in a hard chair."

Bai Ci chose to remain silent.

During the stalemate, Lin Yunqi turned over and fell asleep.

Sitting alone until late at night, Bai Ci's thin lips moved, and his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible——

"You gave me a pair of eyes, but I fell in love with you at first sight with my own eyes."
