The bright moon sits on the ground

In the deep alley, there is solitude everywhere, and occasionally there are a few sounds, which are the snoring sounds from the nasal cavity of a sleeping person.

The child blinked his eyes, stretched his thin body slightly, and made a rattling sound. His fingers hooked the clean coat on him, and gently pulled it down so that it would not stop. As for slipping to the ground because of his actions.

"Who are you?"

He is not very good at speaking, probably no one has taught him, and he stole it from others, so his pronunciation is slurred, and he has a strange accent. In addition, due to his temperament, ? He seldom speaks on weekdays, ?

"My name is Xu Lang." Xu Lang stroked the top of the child's hair with his hand, brushing the broken leaves from his hair, and said, "What's your name?"

The child shook his head.

Don't know, or is there no name at all?

Xu Lang speculated secretly, and then asked: "Why did you end up here? What about your family?"

"Everyone is afraid of me." The child spoke very slowly. It took him a long time to think over a word before he could say it. He spoke intermittently. It took a long time to finish a simple sentence. "They said, I will Bring disaster to the family, so don't want me."

As he was talking, he suddenly lost his mind and stared straight behind Xu Lang, showing a look of hesitation.

Xu Lang followed the child's gaze and turned his head, a faint yin energy entangled him, standing behind him was an evil ghost with a bruised face and a bloodstain on his throat. The dawn light shone down, making its expression even more gloomy and a bit gloomy Miserable chill.

He and the evil ghost looked at each other, then turned back with normal expressions, and asked the child, "Can you see ghosts?"

No need to ask, the child must be able to see, otherwise, he would not be able to keep looking at the soul that ordinary people can't see at all.I'm afraid he's used to this kind of scene. If it was another child, he might cry in fright, but the child in front of him just watched quietly. He also knew that other people couldn't see it. , so he never said it.

The child was a little surprised at this moment, looked at Xu Lang with bright eyes, and asked, "Can you see it too?"

Xu Lang gave him an affirmative answer: "I can see it."

As he spoke, he calculated calmly, and sure enough, as he had expected, this child had an extremely Yin physique.

Should it be said that it is the reincarnation of His Highness the Ninth Prince? Xu Lang thought, His Highness Nine was born when Yin and Yang were separated, and the spiritual energy in his body was abundant and pure. However, the thicker the spiritual energy, the darker the evil energy, so he is extremely easy to attract filth. It is extremely difficult for him to maintain his sanity without relying on ancient vines to absorb evil spirits, especially because his natural personality is not connected with Kunlun.

Even in the human world, His Highness the Ninth Prince still cannot escape the situation that provokes filth.

The evil spirit got closer, and the child was finally a little scared. He grabbed Xu Lang's clothes timidly, and asked him in a stumbling manner, "They all came for me, right? They threatened me a long time ago." Obediently hand over your body to them..."

To be honest, if the soul and body were really separated and His Highness Nine woke up, they would not be able to provoke them.

Xu Lang shook the brass bell on his wrist, the brass bell came out from his sleeve, clear and sweet, those beggars who fell asleep were not woken up, they scratched their bellies hanging out, and fell into a deep sleep, on the contrary The evil ghost, who was staring at the child covetously, was pushed back several feet by the sound of the bell. It was unwilling to leave, and wandered impatiently, like a greedy hunter.

The child grabbed the corner of Xu Lang's clothes, poked his head out, and carefully observed the evil spirit.

He probably encountered this kind of thing often, and he also knew that as soon as the copper bell in Xu Lang's sleeve stopped, the evil spirits would immediately pounce on him, tear his soul apart, and use him as a good tonic. The body is the medium to return to the human world.

This is a typical fear and want to see.Xu Lang sighed, pressed the child's forehead, and pushed him back. When the child touched his forehead and looked at him blankly, he said, "I can help you get rid of them, do you want to try it?" ?”

The child nodded first, and then asked in a ignorant manner, "Is this a disaster I brought?"

"No." Xu Lang answered him like this, "This is not a disaster, but something that many people want to have but cannot have."

After saying that, he took out a stack of thin paper from his sleeve, and the child just leaned over to see him biting his finger with the tip of his teeth, dipping his fingertips in blood, and drawing a series of complicated patterns on the paper. Proficient and smooth, as if it has been done thousands of times.

Xu Lang quickly finished drawing a talisman, pondered for a moment, moved his fingertips slightly, and drew the second and third ones like this.

"This talisman can cover your breath, as long as you carry it with you, you will not be discovered by those ghosts." He stuffed the talisman into the child's arms, shook his fingers, and said, "However, the talisman will also Ineffective, so you are out alone, still have to be careful, remember to avoid those vicious spirits, and don't let them find that you can see them."

The child flattened the talismans and put them in his arms, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Why do you help me?"

"I'm a nosy person." Xu Lang narrowed his eyes and smiled slowly, but the smile in his eyes was very weak, like the thin layer of light floating on the surface of Lingyan Lake at sunset, lightly fiddled with it Faded, "Well, just treat it like this."

The child didn't understand Xu Lang's meaning—but it didn't matter, Xu Lang thought, he didn't need to understand what he meant now, at his age, he shouldn't think about those blunt and difficult truths——Xu Lang Stretching out his hand to him, the child looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and put his hand into his palm, allowing Xu Lang to pull him up and avoid those beggars.

Xu Lang took the child out of the stinky, dark and damp alley. After all, there was no one on the street, so he found a willow tree whose hanging branches and leaves could cover them tightly. He felt itchy on the child's cheek, so he squinted his eyes. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xu Lang taking off the bag at his waist, fiddled with it for a while, and took out something.

As for what happened after that, the child doesn't know.

The moment his consciousness disappeared, he felt something cold and hard sticking to the center of his brows, and then, a refreshing coldness spread from the center of his brows to all his limbs, but it was not the kind that made people feel painful. The coldness was more like scooping up a handful of cold water in the scorching heat. It was an extraordinarily gentle temperature. He just fell asleep like this in a groggy state.

Xu Lang watched the dragon scale melt into the child's eyebrows. The child's eyes were sleepy, and he closed his eyes in a daze, as if he was about to fall asleep. Reach out and hold his narrow shoulders.

The next moment, the child opened his eyes.There is only sobriety in those black and white eyes, and he still has that childish appearance, but his expression is completely different from before. Thousands of years of precipitation are condensed between his brows and eyebrows. Xu Lang only needs a light look in his eyes to know , the child in front of him is not the one he talked to before, but... His Highness Ninth Prince.

Xu Lang wanted to salute him, but in the middle of the walk, he was supported by his arm. Xu Lang looked up, and Xianjun Xuanxiu shook his head at him, with a smile on his lips, and said: " There is no need to salute. Long time no see, Immortal Lord Langfeng."

Saying this sentence "Long time no see" seems to weigh a thousand catties, and all these decades of long time have been put into it.

"I thought I would be awakened by Xuanpu Xianjun or Pojun Xingjun." He looked at the person in front of him calmly and said, "I didn't expect that you, a mortal, would do this. It seems , During this period of time, you have also experienced many things."

When did His Royal Highness discover that he was a mortal?Xu Lang was a little puzzled. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to ask.

He touched the tip of his nose and said: "Actually Pojun Xingjun... still doesn't know what happened at that time. However, he already had doubts and asked me a few times, but I managed to fool him. Ninth Highness, I Do I need to tell him about that?"

"No need." Immortal Xuanxiu looked up at the fading star curtain and said, "He has already sensed my aura."

It's over, Xu Lang thought to himself, he has to hide in the Kunlun Palace as soon as he goes back, or Pojun Xingjun will have to beat him up.

Xianjun Xuanxiu withdrew his gaze, looked at Xu Lang again, and asked, "The reason why you concealed this is because you were worried that Pojun Xingjun would do something to Xianjun Xuanpu? If the world is overturned, you don't need to use common sense to deal with it." Guess Pojun Xingjun, not to mention, Xuanpu Xianjun used to be the executioner of the fairy world, his strength, you also know, Pojun Xingjun will not be able to defeat him so easily."

Xu Lang was a little embarrassed to be told about the central matter.Indeed, he and Po Jun have their own prejudices, which he cannot refute.

Po Jun also said before that he didn't trust Xu Lang. In fact, Xu Lang didn't trust Po Jun either. Even if they could sit down peacefully and discuss their future plans, even if they would remind each other kindly, that would still be a problem. It doesn't mean being honest with each other.

Po Jun thought Xu Lang was too slippery, and there were seven or eight lies in ten sentences; Xu Lang thought Po Jun was too stubborn, and he never knew how to be flexible.

"I want to know where the plan is going." Xianjun Xuanxiu said calmly, "This body can't last long, you don't need to tell me every word, now, tell me what you want Think about everything."

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "As long as I think about it, will His Highness the Ninth Prince know all about it?"

Xuanxiu smiled lightly, his eyes turned dazzling golden in an instant, like slowly dissolving gold, Xu Lang could understand the words leaked from his lips and teeth, but when each syllable appeared, he It feels strange like hearing it for the first time, and it takes a while to understand its meaning, "I will know what you are thinking at this time."

Xu Lang restrained his rushing thoughts, and as His Highness Nine said, he thought through all the things he wanted to tell His Highness Ninth.

If you want to say it, it may take a long time, but if you just think about it, these decades have passed in a flash.

After thinking about it, Xu Lang felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help asking: "Can His Highness Ninth hear the voices of others?"

Hearing this, Immortal Xuanxiu didn't blame him for his hasty questioning, but shook his head and said, "This is not something worth hiding, Xu Lang, it's not that I can hear other people's voices, but every time I say Every word... will come true."

Xu Lang suddenly realized that the abnormality he had just noticed was not his illusion. The color of Xianjun Xuanxiu's eyes changed, and the tone of his voice also changed accordingly, which meant that he was quietly using his It can be called a terrifying ability.

"The laws of this world have no effect on me." Xianjun Xuanxiu sighed, pointed to his throat, and said, "I deliberately didn't let him learn to speak because of this. Although he still doesn't know the 'truth' How to use it, however, in the long run, he will one day come out by mistake, Tong Yan Wuji, and then the situation will become troublesome."

If everything a child said could be true, the world would be a mess.

"I have thought about this matter myself, so I won't repeat it for you." He continued, "I have already understood the current situation, and it is similar to what I expected. In this way, I can feel at ease for the time being. Only Baixuan's That plan still needs a lot of work from you."

Xu Lang replied, "Of course."

"The scales I left behind are running out of time to support my stay."

He also knew that this mortal body was born with an extremely yin constitution. When he was in the heaven, he still had a four-sided open sky mirror to protect his heart, but this body was still very weak, and it would shatter when touched, and there was no one around him who could stand by him. Things, if you don't find a place to shelter and protect your lifeblood, you will probably be entangled with Yin Qi in a short time, and you will hand over your body to those lonely ghosts in vain, and die in Huangquan.

Immortal Xuanxiu looked around for a while, and found that there was not even a temple in Xiayan City. The emperor on the dragon chair probably never paid attention to this city.He frowned slightly, his eyes gradually darkened, and soon turned golden again, complex and ancient syllables rolled out of his throat, what he said was: "Then, let's build a temple here as my future shelter." let's go."

As soon as the words fell, the two mansions not far away were separated by an invisible hand, quietly retreating in different directions, leaving an open space, first building the foundation, then building the frame, erecting beams and columns ... in an orderly manner, without the effort of a stick of incense, a small temple stood in front of Xu Lang like this, as if it had spent decades here.

"No one came here to worship the god statue, so the temple was ruined, the incense was not prosperous, it was dilapidated everywhere, and there were spider webs everywhere."

The original glamorous temple has become dilapidated and decayed, and the corners and corners are covered with cobwebs. At first glance, few people set foot on it.

Xu Lang looked at it, moved his lips with difficulty, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly didn't want to say anything.

When the work was done, the gold in Xuanxiu's eyes faded, he turned to look at Xu Lang, and asked him if there was anything else he wanted to say, Xu Lang broke the silence and asked, "His Royal Highness is going to see you...thank you... Um, have you met Immortal Sanqing?"

"Sanqing?" Xuanxiu finally had a sincere smile on his lips, and said, "No, it's not bad."

Immortals have endless lifespans, and they are not like mortals. They are separated for a few years, the distance is long, and it is difficult to keep in touch with each other only by letters. When they meet, it is very likely that they will see only a deserted tomb.Probably this is why mortals always like to work hard when parting, but gods never say goodbye, Xu Lang thought, even His Highness the Ninth Prince does the same.

"It's really difficult for me to maintain my sanity." Xuan Xiu said, covering her throat with her fingers, "I will trouble you for the rest."

Consciousness faded away like a tide, and then surged back again. Xu Lang subconsciously caught the child who was about to fall to the ground. He was still at a loss, as if he didn't know what happened, and looked at Xu Lang , Open your mouth to say something.

However, those ambiguous syllables could not be connected into words after all, and they just made repeated jerky "ahhh" sounds.

Xu Lang was in a trance, watching the child in his arms cough uncomfortably, and then touched his neck with his hands.

Only then did he understand that before Xianjun Xuanxiu left, he cut his vocal cords so that he could no longer speak.
