God's favor

After all the wounds on Shen Yi's body were healed by that Zhuoyin, Zhuoyin took Shen Yi to another place.

The only difference between the night of Huangquan and the day is that a red crescent moon will rise in the sky, making Huangquan even more desolate and desolate.

They came to a vast plain, and many ghosts had already surrounded the center of the plain.

After Duan Yin came here, those ghosts automatically made way for him.

A cross-shaped wooden frame rose from the center of the ground, and a person was tied to it. The snow-white Taoist uniform had been stained a lot, and a few strands of black hair were exposed from the hair crown. I saw a famous person here. Sharp, Shen Yi was undoubtedly shocked in his heart, but now that he can't protect himself, how can he save others.

He lowered his head to hide the shocked expression on his face, and his steps slowed down a little, Duan Yin walked in front, and he didn't notice Shen Yi.

Instead, a male ghost came forward and whispered something to Zhuoyin, Shen Yi raised his eyes and saw a smile on Zhuoyin's face.But Shen Yi knew that every time Duan Yin laughed, it was the most dangerous time.

Sure enough, the next moment, the male ghost's arm was crushed by the voiced voice.

However, this ghost domain is indeed a magical place. Within a moment, the male ghost's arm returned to its original state, obediently shrunk to the back.

Zhuoyin stretched his waist, his eyes slightly bent, "Everyone should be more comfortable, after all, this is everyone's day, but this time is a little different, the target is not evil spirits, but Taoist priests."

"Taoist priest?"

There was a sound of chattering, it seemed that these ghosts didn't know that Wen Renrui was a mortal. Although Shen Yi didn't know what the festival was about, he felt that it must be something bad.

The voiced voice stopped the voices of the ghosts, "Everyone be quiet, just do as we usually do. Taoist priests appear in the ghost domain, so don't worry about being kind."

Duan Yin firstly, a long black needle appeared in his hand and pierced Wen Renrui's palm, "Don't you want to teach these Taoists a lesson?"

Bright red blood began to drip along the edge of the wooden frame, Shen Yi's eyes trembled.

With the beginning of the voiced sound, other ghosts also began to abuse Wen Renrui unscrupulously, and the real blood of mortals can increase their pleasure even more.

Seeing this bloody scene, Shen Yi's stomach started to churn, he covered his mouth and retched a few times.Shen Yi wanted to stand up, but he knew that he did not have the strength to save Wen Renrui.

"Why is your face so pale?"

At some point, Duan Yin had already come to him, looking at him with a delicate face, with a smile on his face, "Do you want to leave?"

Shen Yi didn't answer.

"You can't leave, follow me, maybe you can live a few more days."

After Zhuoyin finished speaking, a very pure-looking female ghost came next to him, with watery eyes, raised nose and cherry lips, and a palm-sized face. When she came here, she bent down and wrapped her white arms around Zhuoyin's shoulders.

"Ayin, who is he?"

"It's just a toy."

"You used to be surrounded by beauties, and Ah Shui couldn't even get in your body."

"This is not an opportunity."

"..."

The chatting and laughing between Zhuoyin and the female ghost became farther and farther away, and Shen Yi felt a little relieved in his heart, maybe Zhuanyin thought his toy was too boring.

As the smell of blood at the tip of his nose intensified, Shen Yi's mood also became heavier.There is nothing more depressing than powerlessness.Shen Yi didn't have the courage to look up, he felt that he must not be able to bear it.

Suddenly, a glaring white light shone on Shen Yi's face, Shen Yi covered his eyes, and vaguely saw Duan Yin's furious expression between his hands, before Shen Yi could react, he was already sucked to another place by this white light.

The place is very bright, the ground and walls seem to be made of crystal, Shen Yi got up from the ground, he looked around, there was a dark place, and bright red blood was spreading outwards.

Shen Yi walked over there, made a detour, and Wen Renrui, covered in blood, was leaning against the wall, dying.

Shen Yi hurriedly came to his side, but he was unable to make a sound, Wen Renrui's appearance obviously meant that he was dying soon.He didn't even dare to say a word just now, so he didn't have the face to know people.

Wen Renrui's handsome appearance has been completely destroyed. When the only remaining eyes are opened, they are no longer frozen as before, but calm as water, just like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes.

He just opened his eyes and saw Shen Yi, then slowly closed them, "I can send you away."

Wen Renrui's voice was extremely soft, but in this kind of empty place, there was still an echo.

Shen Yi replied in a low voice: "I still have someone to wait for."

"Is that the Protoss?"

"He's Bai Yi."

"My life is not long, I don't want to leave with my worries, can you listen to me tell a story?"

Speaking of this, Wen Renrui opened his eyes again, but at this time his eyes had returned to calm.

"..., just talk about it."

Wen Renrui looked at the clear crystal in front of him, his memory began to return to 12 years ago, and the memory fragments trapped in his body also began to flow out.These golden dots surrounding Wen Renrui, Shen Yi didn't know that these were memory fragments, he listened carefully to Wen Renrui's memories.

Twelve years ago, Wen Renrui was only eight years old. He worshiped under Taoist Lan Si together with the children from his own village.The Taoist temple is in Linghua City, far away from the village where Wen Renrui was born. Wen Renrui still remembers that the hand on his father's shoulder was as heavy as his heart, and that hand entrusted the whole family to him. hope.

If you become the Taoist priest's closed disciple, the village will reward their family with a sum of food to alleviate their family's plight.Wen Renrui and another child from the same village became Taoist Master Lan Si's closed disciples.

That child is different from Wen Renrui, just like his name Jin Yao, he has a delicate and clean appearance.Whenever he opens his mouth and smiles, the whole person will shine more brightly, and many children like to play with him.That child is not only good-looking, but also extremely smart. Every time the master assigns tasks, Jin Yao is the first to complete them.Wen Renrui, on the other hand, was ordinary-looking and dark-skinned. Standing in front of Jin Yao, he looked like cow dung next to flowers.Although it was inappropriate, Wen Renrui couldn't think of any other suitable metaphors.He is diligent and hardworking, and often holds the candle until dawn before he can keep up with everyone's progress.

Every night, Wen Renrui would remember that he was so diligent, but he could barely keep up with Jin Yao's progress.As for Jinyao, he can easily obtain what Wen Renrui needed to work hard to obtain.Thinking to this point, Wen Renrui's palms were already bloody from his pinching, and he knew that the strong emotion in his heart was jealousy.Wen Renrui also knew clearly that his feelings were wrong.

But he couldn't control himself for a while, and secretly covered the Taoism that Jin Yao just copied and hid it in a place where no one else could see.When the master checked, Wen Renrui saw Jin Yao's flushed face, and he felt mixed feelings.

Wen Renrui knew that his actions were poor, and when his master left, Wen Renrui wanted to apologize to Jin Yao.

Jin Yao didn't let him say it, but smiled and told him that he wanted to take him to a place.Wen Renrui felt ashamed, so he agreed to Jin Yao's request.

They came to a dark alley of a Taoist temple, Jin Yao told him to close his eyes, and a mixed fist and stick fell on Wen Renrui.Wen Renrui lay on the ground in embarrassment, this ordinary face was even more ugly due to the bruised nose and swollen face.

The tip of Jin Yao's white shoes raised Wen Renrui's chin, and his disgusted gaze pierced Wen Renrui's heart like a needle prick, "It's really ugly people who make trouble."

"Yes, yes."

"I'm afraid this ugly monster doesn't know how much he weighs."

"Haha, I just said that this ugly boy has bad intentions."

The laughter of Jinyao's followers around him hit Wen Renrui like a stone.His eyelids were getting heavy, and when Wen Renrui woke up again, the night was already dark and it was raining heavily.

Wen Renrui was completely drenched, he groped back to his residence in the dark, every part of his body hurt, but what hurt the most was his heart and Wen Renrui's poor self-esteem.Fortunately, he and Jinyao were the only disciples of his master. Jinyao lived in the west chamber by himself, while he lived with the cleaners in the Taoist temple.

When he returned, the man was already asleep.That man was an old man who had stayed in this Taoist temple for a long time. Wen Renrui heard that he was also a disciple of this Taoist temple back then, but due to lack of talent, he ended up here.Wen Renrui doesn't want to make himself like him, although he is neither smart nor looks a bit ugly, but his heart is different, just like his self-esteem, burning fire, burning his soul.

When he woke up the next day, Wen Renrui's face was so red and swollen that he couldn't see his original appearance. When he washed his face, he saw his reflection in the basin and clenched his fists tightly.

"oops."

A surprised sound came out from the old man's mouth. Seeing Wen Renrui's face, he frowned, and waved his hand to signal Wen Renrui to come over, "Hurry up and apply some medicine on your face."

Wen Renrui looked away, "No need."

"You child, I wouldn't care about you if it wasn't for the fact that we both suffer from the same disease and pity each other."

The old man picked up his broom, with a long white towel draped over his shoulders, and was about to start his day's work.

"I'm different from you, I will become a big disciple of this Taoist temple."

After Wen Renrui finished speaking, he didn't feel strong in his heart, but was even more frightened because he saw the old man's disdainful eyes.A mediocre person like him, even if he is working hard, will eventually be annihilated by the brilliance of genius.

This sentence made Wen Renrui deeply understand the essence of it in the first test in the courtyard a few days later.

Wen Renrui clearly memorized all the Taoism upside down, but when he wanted to use it, he was unable to exert its power due to insufficient talent, and was defeated by a young disciple from a sect.That little disciple, Wen Renrui also recognized, was the one who always followed Jin Yao.

It wasn't terrible to lose to him, but what was terrible was that when Wen Renrui learned that his talent would be limited to this, he could no longer continue his studies.Jin Yao's next wonderful performance made Wen Renrui feel dizzy in his eyes, and he came to his master.But the master shook his head at him and sighed, "I really missed my point."

Wen Renrui knelt in front of the master's door for a whole day, during which he thought a lot, and he didn't want to leave the Taoist temple.After the rain, the warm sun shone on Wen Renrui's body, and part of the wound on his face had already started to turn white, with pus oozing, making it even more ugly.

After that, Wen Renrui passed out, and his master didn't see him anymore.There are still many buzzing voices in his ears, "It's really ugly."

"It's the person who is said to be very hardworking, but has no talent in Taoism."

"His face is terrifying."

"..."

All kinds of voices came to an end, Wen Renrui beat his head, he wanted to calm himself down, but the slight wetness in the corners of his eyes gradually increased.Wen Renrui felt that his heart and self-esteem had been torn apart.

If it wasn't for a pair of cold and pale hands that stopped him, Wen Renrui might have allowed himself to be buried in the lake next to the Taoist temple.
