Tai sui

"Tai Sui bless..."

Whispering voices came from a dwelling not far away, which took away a wisp of his consciousness.

At the door of a dilapidated residential house, a stooped old woman from Xichu, wearing a flower mirror, was carving a statue of Tai Sui on the reincarnation wooden board by starlight.

"Tai Sui bless this chaos to pass quickly, I'm afraid of death." The old woman murmured to herself, "These gods and gods come every year, and they will definitely kill people when they come. It’s better to dig a hole in the ground and bury yourself, and climb out after they leave..."

There happened to be a reincarnation tree in the window of her house, and Tai Sui was in it. The branch leaned against the window lattice of the house, thinking: I am so scared, why don't I move it away?

Then he looked at the old woman's house. There was only one room in the house, and there was a set of dilapidated tables, chairs and beds in it, all of which were missing feet and were padded with mud.There was an oil lamp on the table, she was reluctant to light it, so she borrowed light at the door.A rat-proof basket was hung from the beam of the house, and in the basket was half a piece of miscellaneous rice cakes and a black pickle... It was something he ate in Yuzhou back then so painfully that he couldn't die.There are some rattles and other gadgets in the corner, and a stack of wicker baskets. The workmanship is very rough, far worse than the ones made by machines, and I don’t know who will buy them.

Oh, he understood why the old lady didn't move away.

"The last time my old lady was about to die of illness, she begged Tai Sui to save her. I don't believe in anyone, and I believe in Tai Sui when I encounter something. The magic card has to be carved secretly, and the snake king is not called worship... Sigh, I can't afford to offend those immortals." , Don’t blame Tai Sui..."

Tensei wood is soft and suitable for knives. She quickly made a magic card and blew away the sawdust on it.

The moment the divine card took shape, a strange and weak attraction came, but Tai Sui's spiritual consciousness is not what it used to be, and will never be forcibly dragged onto others.

"A while ago, I heard that someone wanted to collect wicker baskets. I look forward to it every day, and I will not come when I am old. Tai Sui blesses the basket collectors to come quickly... bless you can pick up some good things from Yehu Township this year. I went late last year, and I must hurry up this year." ...It would be great if the food could be cheaper, the teeth are useless, and the fourth-grade rice is almost too hard to bite..."

Amidst the old woman's nagging, Tai Sui continued to spread his consciousness along the alley, and saw a shirtless man beating a child again.

It was a Chu opera troupe, the local opera that people in the Xiajiang area loved most, and it didn't talk much about emperors, generals, ministers, talented scholars and beautiful women.The special feature is the final scene, where all the characters—including the one who was just sung to death in the play—get up and do somersaults together.

In the past, the Snake King's bum didn't know what his aspirations were, but he liked to watch people do somersaults. He had to make ten-year-old half-grown children foamy before he laughed and rewarded them, so the entire Chu opera troupe along the Xiajiang River began Practice somersaults desperately, and you have to study how to turn over tricks.The shirtless man was probably the master, who beat a group of seven or eight-year-old children until they screamed. The master was red-eyed and hated iron for steel, and shouted while beating: "Why are you running! Is it hurting you to beat you? You are not sensible. Things, what can you do! You can only become a master if you endure hardships, don't you understand!"

He didn't raise the high pitch of the three words "Ren Shangren", and he slapped his throat when he shouted excitedly.

Tai Sui passed by the door of the theater troupe and smiled.

Only by suffering through hardships can one become a master... It seems that if you have a loud voice, you can come true.

Taoxian disappeared, and Xuanmen suffered heavy losses.

What about mortals?

There are Tengyunjiao on the ground, and steamships on the Xiajiang River, but those have nothing to do with ordinary people who stop talking. Most people are like weeds, scrambling to make do in the wasteland. The wind grows and the autumn cools. Dry, die when moved.The farthest place eighty percent of people have ever been to in their lifetime is the county seat. What difference does it make to them whether Tao County is alive or not?

Well, there may also be one point. Tao County is full of evil spirits, and factories that consume spirit stones will avoid this area. There are no things made by those big machines here, and the old lady's business may be better.In a small county town, so many Ascension Spirits died in a short period of time, the spiritual energy could not be dissipated, and the quality of the soil that didn't grow anything might improve.

Isn't this everyone's happiness?

So why is he meddling?

Does he want to be imprisoned in the god statue involuntarily, and his spiritual consciousness be escorted away by others' joy and pain at any time?

Tai Sui's spiritual consciousness spread to the reincarnating wood in the whole county, and stretched to the extreme. One end of him was on the net on Xu Rucheng's body, and the other end was on the reincarnating wooden railing at the Xiajiang Ferry in Tao County, stretching himself as long as the entire Tao County. .With a thought, the treetops swayed gently in the same way. The careful people were surprised when they noticed the strange phenomenon, and worshiped those trees one after another.

He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Then Tai Sui turned over, his spiritual consciousness quickly gathered and shrank, and when he passed a certain place, he shot out a very thin aura.

The aura was accurately drawn on the god card that the pious old woman had just engraved.

The old woman said "Ahhh", she was so frightened that she dropped the card on the ground. Looking again, there were a few symmetrical beards on the left and right faces of Tai Sui on the card.

Then an authentic local accent sounded in her ears: "Don't blame me, you get well if you are sick, what does it have to do with me? If something good happens to me today, it will fall to me again if it doesn't go well tomorrow. I want you to plant grass all over your head, you bastards!"

Before the words fell into the ears of the mortal, he had already returned to the courtyard of the Dawan girl.

Qiu Sha, a mere Ascendant, with a look of bad luck that he didn't understand himself, even arranged for other people's lives.

He thought: Does she really regard herself as the Five Sages?

Besides, what about the five sages, after the moon is full, they become dust-free gods, stepping into the void and leaving by themselves, and the human world left behind is not like this bear?

Board board!

He opened his mouth and called out to the girl in men's clothing who looked so familiar, "Hello."

The girl in men's clothing——Wei Cheng opened his eyes suddenly, as if struck by lightning.

"No malice, don't be nervous." Facing Wanren, Tai Sui instinctively changed back to his most familiar accent, "Just a question, do you know that that idiot surnamed Qiu is going to use you to make Tao County disappear? ?"

Wei Cheng was dumbfounded and couldn't hear what he said clearly.

This voice... this voice is...

She grabbed the broken dharma bracelet, and her first reaction was what happened to this unpredictable fairy artifact: "...Uncle?"

Tai Sui: "..."

Hey, what is the custom in Dawan now that the girl speaks so politely?

"Hey," he agreed without taking advantage of the bastard, "you can call me Uncle."

Huh?

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Tai Sui was stunned: This word is also a bit familiar, did he say the same thing before...

He looked carefully at the girl's thin, weathered face, and saw the tear-like spiritual orifice scars at the corners of her eyes, and something was about to come out.

"I didn't pay attention last time," he heard himself blurt out, "Why do you still have the spirit aperture scar?"

Why did he say last time?

What was the "last time"?

Wei Cheng's eyes turned red.

five years.

At that time, he only left a sentence of "going forward on his own", and when he said that he would never do it again, he really "would never do it again".

She was terrified and resentful, and then she once dreamed that the senior in Tensei Muli didn't ignore her, but was injured and died, so she started to worry again.

She talks to herself in front of the reincarnation wooden sign every day, when she is sad, when she is in doubt, and when she is at the end of the road... However, except for the time in the red forest in late autumn, the reincarnation wooden sign has never given her anything reaction.

Just talking like this, she really got used to "walking by herself".

That piece of reincarnated wood seemed to have become a dream of her youth, a bit of thin comfort.

"I'm dreaming, right?" she thought, "otherwise, why is the voice still the same as before, even the tone of the speech has not changed?"

Wei Chengxiang closed his eyes forcefully, the corners of his thin mouth trembled a few times, and he tried his best to raise a smile.

She has to behave like a human being, she is no longer the brat who didn't understand anything back then.She is a practitioner who seeks the way and cannot disappoint her predecessors.

However, when Wei Cheng rang his mouth, his voice could not be stabilized. He staggered and slid out of his crying voice: "I...cough, I'm sorry, uncle...senior..."

Her brain and mouth seem to be separated, each taking care of its own.Diverging in my mind at a loss: how can I cry?Didn’t the fire in the southern suburbs of Jinping burn all my tears?

But he said incoherently in his mouth: "I'm just... just a little surprised..."

Tai Sui looked at her helplessly: "Don't cry."

Do you know me?

So, did I really exist before I was sealed somewhere?

who am I?

"No, no, I didn't cry." Wei Cheng slapped away the tears that flowed down the scar of the spirit orifice with rough hands and feet, "I just remembered that the senior said that the musicians by the Lingyang River are nothing, you A qin can make a donkey a famous actress...it’s true, I’m not bragging, I’ve heard many famous qin, and none can compare to yours.”

"Tai Sui" made a "boom" in his head: Yes, he seems to have had a piano.

Qin Ming is...

At this time, in the huge Tao County, Chu Min's whispers came from the tall and short reincarnation trees on the side of the road.

Tai Sui...

Tai Sui bless...

Tai Sui help us...

Qin Ming is "Tai Sui".

Wei Chengxiang took off the reincarnation wooden sign hanging around his neck, and the tears on his fingers accidentally soaked into the reincarnation wooden sign, and those who stepped into the reincarnation wooden sign a few steps away tasted the salty taste in an instant.

As salty as the raging waves of the East China Sea.

In a trance, he was swept up by the salty sea breeze, and rolled back to the thousands of feet of soul-returning vortex, the bottomless bottomless seabed, and in a leaf, the palm of his hand was cut by the sky-butting sword.

There, demons are doomed, saints have broken their promises, and the catastrophe bell is tolling for whom.With a loud bang, the song full of waves on Lingyang River and the snow all over Feiqiong Peak passed away. He stepped on the air in the beautiful bushes and fell on the side of the Xia River, in a deserted village, and fell into an eight-petal lonely Ghosts and wild ghosts... mingling among the mortals, they are inseparable from their pickle-smelling souls.

He remembered that he was not a big demon like Qiu Sha, he was far behind, and he was not worthy to be compared.

He is just an incomprehensible young master, born in the deep courtyard of Yongninghou's Mansion in Xidanguifang, Jinping City.

His name is Xi Ping, his name is Shiyong, and his name is Yu Ganshi. He is the most prestigious elopement professional in the Land of Fireworks, and the most shameful traitor on Xuanyin Feiqiong Peak... It seems like a lifetime away.

He once rebelled against the Three Thousand Ways and considered himself unruly, but now this is the only thing that remains the same, and it is barely enough.

"Ah Xiang," after many years, Xi Ping sighed and called out the name of the old man, "Your taste has clearly not deteriorated, why did you get mixed up with that kind of monster?"

Wei Chengxiang smiled with tears in his eyes: "But when you two derogate others, your tone is very similar."

Unfounded self-confidence exudes all the time.

Xi Ping: "..."

Will talk back!

The fate of the two of them is very wonderful, on the one hand, the entanglement is deep, and can span life and death;Whether it is wandering in the gap between good and evil, or wandering among the beings on both sides of the Xiajiang River, they all weigh more than a thousand catties, and they can't be carried by light words.

Xi Ping summed it up in one sentence: "I am in retreat."

Wei Chengxiang: "I mainly work in the land of chaos."

The reincarnated wood rustled, Wei Chengxiang slowly put away his emotions, and talked about the changes in Dawan and the late autumn red at the foot of Lancang Mountain.

Xi Ping seldom interjected, and while listening quietly, he gathered together the bits and pieces of information he had received over the past five years: The crown prince ascended the throne, and the Yao family should be relieved.

The family and the country are safe, and the third brother is also safe... This enlightened monk did it. The people who spent Xuanyin Mountain's money to support themselves took advantage of many evil spirits who thought they had feelings. Suo Gaoming?Now it is July, the old lady celebrates her birthday, he should go back to Jinping.

Five years, the old lady is eighty...

Xi Ping's thought flashed, and he stopped decisively—he couldn't go back, it's useless to worry about it, it's useless to add to the melancholy, it's better to focus on the present: "You said that Qiu Sha can manipulate Wan Qiuhong to kill people, and he can also blend with those trees. One?"

Wei Cheng said, "That's why I always suspected that she was a tree demon."

Xi Ping: "..."

Ah Xiang is considered to be the Reincarnation Wood who led the Taoist sect, so she didn't think it was unusual for "vegetation and trees to have supernatural powers".

In fact, the so-called "monster" is just a folk fantasy. The closest thing to a "monster" in the world should be the spirit beasts raised by the Shu people. It is impossible for ordinary grass, trees, animals and animals to "cultivate into spirits"-it is not enough to use spirit stones every day, at most The difference between fairy grass and common grass is "whether you can eat it" and "how to eat it", and wisdom will not grow out of thin air.

There is only one situation where a plant can be manipulated as if it were its own body, and that is "associated wood".

This is what Xi Ping found out after he fused Yuan Hui's main and vice hidden bones.

When some masters slough off cicadas, they will give birth to a kind of vegetation that did not exist in the world, called "companion", such as Yuan Hui's reincarnation wood.Even if people die, plants and trees can still find a suitable environment for survival and continue to live forever.

Later generations obtained some key inheritances by chance and could "inherit" this accompanying wood.

However, the strange thing is that all sects have ancestors of cicadas, but Xi Ping has never heard of anyone who has "companion wood", so he thought it was special for Yuanhui.

Now it seems that reincarnated wood is not an isolated case, and late autumn red is probably also a kind of "associated wood".

No wonder Qiu Sha could feel his existence, it turned out that he was really the same kind.

No wonder her Taoism looks so weird——Xi Ping watched a few rounds, she doesn’t seem to have her own magic weapon or ultimate move, but she can “swallow” the true essence of the person who died in her hands, and use it in a fake way .The other party's natal magic weapon didn't stagnate at all, and she didn't even know that the owner had changed...until she exhausted the true energy left by others.

Late Autumn Red is a parasitic vine, so looking at it this way, it really has that meaning.

Xi Ping: "Let's not talk about her, that 'breaking law' recognizes you as the master? Can you shut it down?"

Wei Chengxiang shook his head: "It claims to have no rank, and anyone can use it, but I think the rank is too high, and maybe the existing monks can't understand it. I can only open it and set the 'axiom'. I made an agreement with her, "Axiom breaks" or "axiom is realized", then breaking the law will end—uncle, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, Tao County will not disappear."

Xi Ping was taken aback for a moment: "What do you mean by 'breaking the axiom' or 'realizing the axiom'?"

"The axiom here is 'On the seventh day of the seventh month, Qiusha will be at the banquet in the Asgard'. Once Qiusha arrives in the Asgard, the time here will be the feast of the Asgard. If she dies there or leaves in the middle of the banquet, 'she will be in the Asgard's banquet." The "Gong Ye Yan" clause is not established, which is called "axiom breaking". "Axiom realization" means that this axiom is also realized outside the breaking law. If Qiu Sha was still in the Immortal Palace during the banquet, Po Fa would be able to put Tao County back at that time."

After hearing this, Xi Ping was not at ease, and always felt that something was wrong.
