[Journey to the West] Fighting the Holy Buddha is very leisurely

People often talk about the phrase "there is a god when you raise your head three feet high", but almost no one really believes that there are gods staring at them in this world, so the serious-faced Patriarch of the Wei family would not think that, really There is a tall man acting strangely who is holding a rabbit and watching all his movements with interest.

Wei Lixin was lying on that bed, staring at the ceiling as if he had a grudge against the ceiling. Even though the sound of the old Patriarch pushing the door was obvious, his eyeballs didn't even move.

"Li Xin," the old man's wheelchair rolled up to him, calling his name softly, "Are you okay?"

Wei Li didn't speak.

"You may not be used to it, but you are the heir of the Wei family, and the whole Wei family will be yours from now on." The old man was not angry, but still spoke softly, "There is nothing to be afraid of."

Wei Lixin's eyeballs moved, and after a while, he mechanically turned his head to look at him. The old man stretched out a hand to touch his face, trying to say something, but at this moment, he heard Wei Li A voice with enough indifference in his heart, each word filled with disgust: "Monster."

"No..." The old man closed his eyes shallowly, and retracted his hand, "It's not a monster, Xinxin, it's just another way of life."

Wei Li didn't continue, he turned his head back again, as if he hadn't spoken at all before.

"Look at Wei Yang, isn't he living a good life?" The old man continued on his own, "We are like him now, you like him, if you become like this, you can be together forever."

Probably Wei Yang was mentioned, Wei Lixin's dead eyes flashed suddenly, and then returned to silence. There was no one else in the room, only the old and the young were playing tug-of-war. He raised his eyebrows, the rabbit in his arms seemed to feel something, raised his head to look up at the void, the red rabbit eyes obviously didn't see anything, but still moved the fluff all over his body a little anxiously.

The two people who were spied on fell into a long silence, and the old man waited patiently for Wei Lixin to speak. His hands on the wheelchair were as motionless as if glued there, like two stones.

"Wei Yang is not a monster, we are," Wei Lixin said, his eyes still staring blankly at the ceiling, "There is only one soul living in Wei Yang's body, but we have two."

He giggled, then faced the grandfather he had always respected, and repeated those two words word by word: "Monster."

"You can control his mind, believe me," the old man explained softly, "Look, I've been doing it for so many years, and you can too. There's nothing wrong with it, it's like raising a cat." It’s the same, at the beginning he will scratch people, but after that he becomes very obedient.”

"No one would keep a cat in their body," Wei Lixin straightened up and sat on the bed, staring at him, "Where's Wei Yang?"

"I let him go."

"What did you promise him to make him willing to leave my side?" Wei Lixin tilted his head to look at him, "I've never felt this way, this place is more terrifying than I imagined, I've lived here for so many years , I didn’t even know the inside story until…”

Wei Lixin was a little erratic, even childish before. He was a person with a heart and a heart and a lot of emotion. Now when he talks about some things, he calmly looks like a dead person-he seems to be an indifferent spectator. The things about him are like a pretentious drama on the stage, which can't arouse him to react at all.

His voice was hoarse, but very calm: "I know what you want to do, wait until I become completely unlike me, wait until I become completely not me, and your goal will be achieved."

"Li Xin, don't say that," the old man frowned slightly, still comforting him with that gentle voice, "Wei Yang just wants to be with you, I just want you to inherit the Wei family, isn't that good? Both the Yang and Wei families belong to you, so you can kill two birds with one stone."

"Indeed, you don't have to promise anything," Wei Lixin closed his eyes and murmured, "What does he want most? Turn me into a monster, and we can be together forever. At first I thought so too Yes, I have the same wish as him, and we will never turn back for it together, but we all forgot, after that thing is done, will I become a monster, or the monster will become me?"

The old man stopped talking. Facing his little great-grandson whom he had doted on since he was a child, he suddenly felt that he really couldn't say anything to comfort him—he couldn't even explain many things.

"You won't feel like me. At that time, the monster suppressed my consciousness. I stayed in the back of my mind and watched him use my body, and I seemed to be chained to my body. In the depths, as if it had never existed before," Wei Lixin said, his eyes were filled with calmness, or to be more precise, a dead silence, his eyes were empty, and the event that was extremely scary to him When I said it again, it seemed to be telling someone else's story, "Perhaps after you complete all the steps, you will have a brand new Wei Li mentality, which not only meets the expectations of the Wei family, but also meets the expectations of Wei Yang. ——It’s just that the monster isn’t me anymore.”

It's not that he doesn't know that he has become a Qingling. To be precise, he is watching in his body but can't do anything. That kind of fear subverts his cognition, so that after he regains consciousness, he still feels like he is stepping on In the cotton, the living place is not real at all-who knows when that monster will come out again?

All the extreme emotions gradually cooled down after venting, and now there is no servant around to take care of him, Wei Li felt even more stunned, he has completely calmed down, and he doesn't care about anything—anyway, no one cares what he thinks anymore .

The old man's two hands on the wheelchair slowly reached out to hold Wei Lixin's hand. The old skin rubbed against Wei Lixin's palm like sandpaper. Wei Lixin lowered his head to look at those hands , his eyes followed those hands to grandpa's face, he had never seen him lower his eyes like this.

"Lixin, look, everything we can see in our eyes is given to us by the dragon veins, groups of servants, Wei's villa, even the wheelchair I'm sitting on, and the bed you lie on. It's what it gave you," said the old man, his deep voice slipped past his ears, it was hard for Wei Lixin to describe the feeling, he felt like there was a snake around his neck, "Lixin, you enjoy this kind of life For such a long time, what's the point of sacrificing a little for the Wei family?"

Wei Li didn't speak, but he didn't withdraw his hand that was being held.

"Lixin, believe me, you can control that guy, stick to it, Weiyang and the Wei family are yours now," the old man's words were still enticing, "As long as you can endure a little bit of hardship, everything is yours .”

"I have never been able to figure it out, grandpa, what are you afraid of? We earned everything in the Wei family, and it has nothing to do with that monster." Wei Li shook his head heartily, "Grandpa, what are you still worried about?"

The old man stared at him closely, put away the gentle smile he had kept for a long time, lowered his brows, and said quietly: "Lixin, haven't you always wanted to know about me? Then let me tell you, tell you why I Fear, you have been rich and well-fed since you were born, and you will never experience the fear of not being able to eat enough. After too many good days, you will naturally be afraid, worrying about when you will return to that kind of difficult life."

There seemed to be some light in Wei Lixin's eyes at last, it was confusion and disbelief.

The old man sighed, reached out and rubbed his temples, and after a while, he spoke again: "The Wei family has a long history, and you can see the old buildings in the house, but after I became Before the patriarch, the entire Wei family had nothing to do with us, the only connection was probably that we were all surnamed Wei.

Before I entered the Wei family, the property of this ancient family that has been passed down for a long time had nothing to do with me. "

"...Then why, you became the head of the Wei family? Where is the original member of the Wei family?" Wei Lixin asked, even so, he didn't show too much surprise, as if all his feelings were frozen, "What does it have to do with that monster?"

"Listen to me, this is a very long story. When I entered Wei's house, I didn't expect it to end up like this. God knows, I just wanted to beg for a bowl of food.

At that time, the south was still very poor, especially in remote places like ours, and basically depended on the sky for food. At that time, I heard that the coastal area had undergone major changes, but it had nothing to do with us. We still guarded our own one-acre three-point One year, the harvest was not good, and people in the whole village were hungry when the crops were not harvested—that was the most difficult time I can think of, they were hungry all day and all night, and there were still young and middle-aged people in the family at that time, I can't eat too much, I'm very old, my leg was not broken at that time, so I can only earn a living by doing some jobs.

Our village is near here. If you can go out of Wei's house to take a look now, you might be able to find the old house I lived in before. Of course, you were not born at that time. "

Wei Lixin was still listening. He lay on the bed without making a sound.The old man's memories are a little messy, and even his words are a little incoherent.

"Later, I came to Wei's house. It was the first time I saw this kind of family. After so long of domestic turmoil, they still lived like the old days. It made me feel like I was stuck in the old time and space. Probably this family Hidden very deep and isolated from the world, I was also introduced by someone

But everything is not important to me, I just want to have food again, the Wei family pays very well, our family can survive that season of food shortage.

The Wei family has kept me, and the job is very simple. I live by the gate wall, trim and trim the branches, and take care of the flower garden in front of the gate. I do short-term labor, and I also provide three meals. Man, it's just that the night before I was leaving, this place started to get weird, and since then, I realized that I can't go anymore. "
