Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

The sky is bright, and it seems that the haze of last night has all receded.

But in the living room of the Qi family, Old Monster Qi looked at his grandson sitting in front of him, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart.Butler Qi stood beside him, frowning.

"dad."

Finally, "Qi Buyang" called out, it was still the clear and clear boy's voice, but what he said was a name that the old man hadn't heard for many years, it was both strange and familiar.

The corners of Qi's mouth trembled, and he let out a long sigh, with regret and distress in his eyes, and more deeply helpless.

"Xiao Wan, I have suffered for you all these years."

The person sitting in front of him, although wearing Qi Buyang's skin, has changed inside.Xinzi is none other than Qi Buyang's biological mother, old strange Qi's daughter-in-law, and the former young mistress of the Qi family—Su Wan.

Su Wan showed a gentle smile, that feminine smile appeared on the face of a young boy who was still childish, but it did not disobey harmony, on the contrary, it had a strange sense of beauty, as if it should be like this by nature.She said softly: "I also want to thank my father for helping me fight for such a long time. I can stay here for a few more years and watch Bu Yang grow up with my own eyes."

When Qi Buyang was mentioned, Old Freak Qi's eyes were obviously much darker, "You husband and wife handed Buyang to me, but I still failed to protect the child. Are you... are you blaming me?"

Su Wan shook his head and said nothing.

Qi Laoguai cheered up and said: "Since you are back now, let's live a good life, and Bu Yang's painstaking efforts will not be in vain."

Su Wan still shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Father, you know that my three souls and seven spirits are not stable, and Bu Yang's body was forcibly brought back to life. Now even Bu Yang's own soul can't bear it, so what? Can bear my soul."

"You mean..." Old Freak Qi's expression changed, and he hurriedly grabbed her wrist, which was frighteningly cold to the touch, not the body temperature that a living person should have.

"This body is dying." Facing Old Freak Qi's shocked eyes, Su Wan told him calmly, with a relieved and joyful expression on his face, "I don't know how much time is left, but it won't exceed three days at most."

"This... ah!" Old Freak Qi fell back on the sofa.It seems that the Qi family is really on the brink of fate. Back then, he didn't believe in evil and named his son "Fan Yin", but he couldn't stop the fate from coming. Now even against the sky, he can't turn it around.

Su Wan comforted him: "Father, you want to open up more, prosperity and decline come at an end, the Qi family has prospered for hundreds of years, and it's time to retire."

Old Freak Qi was silent for a while, and finally nodded weakly, "I know." The night that just passed had consumed almost half of his life's energy, and now he could only accept the reality helplessly, which made him exhausted.Look at Su Wan, he doesn't worry too much. Others say that Qi Buyang is very similar to him, and he has learned a good temper. In fact, only he knows that his grandson's stubborn personality is given by Su Wan. This daughter-in-law looks weak, but she has a part in her heart. Tenacity is a woman with her own ideas.So when Su Wan only had a remnant soul left and insisted on begging him to stay in Qi's house, he agreed, and tried his best to arrange a barrier that could temporarily keep the remnant soul, so she spent the time alone in that small courtyard. During the 17 years of loneliness, guarding the spiritual seat of her husband and watching her son grow up from afar, she never wavered.

Thinking of this, Old Freak Qi waved his hand and said to Su Wan: "You don't have much time, just do whatever you want these few days."

Su Wan agreed, but looked at him, but was a little worried.This old man has become the backer of the Qi family since the day he took over the head of the family at the age of 16, shouldering all the burdens of this century-old family. Over the past few decades, the Qi family has experienced many trials and tribulations, only he can stand still, almost He is regarded as the patron saint of the whole family, as if as long as he is there, the Qi family will not collapse.People relied on him as a matter of course, and stood behind him to enjoy shelter. Even when Qi Buyang's father, Qi Fanyin, was still alive, or after Qi Buyang became the head of the family, he never felt at ease for a moment.

That's what Su Wan thought when she married into Qi's family. She was in awe of this majestic father-in-law from the bottom of her heart.But now he suddenly found that he was not as tall as he remembered, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight and aged a lot, and the patron saint of the Qi family was just an ordinary old man.

Housekeeper Qi brought a cup of hot tea, old Pu'er Qi's favorite drink.Smelling the aroma of tea, the old man slowly leaned on the back of the sofa, his expression softened a lot.The butler gave Su Wan a reassuring look, and Su Wan walked out in peace. When she was about to reach the door, Old Monster Qi called her back again. Su Wan turned around and waited for instructions, but the old man only said one thing——

"Remember to go home."

Su Wan smiled and nodded, she liked those two words, as if she had never left.

Walking out of the gate of Qi's house, there were already people waiting outside.As soon as he saw Su Wan, the man hurried up to meet him, with an excited expression on his face, he stammered, "Where are you going...I, I'll see you off!"

Su Wan looked at him, and easily found the shadow of the shy boy many years ago, and suddenly his heart softened. He wanted to give him a good lesson, but in the end he just sighed and said to him: "Come with me to Longhu let's go."

Lin Huaigan's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Okay...okay!" Then he hurriedly invited the goddess into the car.

The black suits who followed watched their Patriarch blankly, longing for a hole to be buried in the ground and never show their face to others again. Look at the eyes of those Qi family members at the door?What will people think of them in the future? ——Is this still their personable, gentle and refined patriarch who is actually aloof and dying?What's the matter with this idiotic behavior?What about image?Is it in your pocket?Please take it out and put it on, my lord!

The master Lin, who was immersed in great joy, could not receive the brainwaves of resentment emanating from his subordinates. When he arrived in Longhu, he thought these people were in the way, so he simply refused to let them follow. He and the goddess enjoyed the romantic two-person world—even though The Goddess looks like a man now - much younger than him.But these worldly eyes couldn't stop him. He still happily followed behind the goddess's ass, and even refused the usual support, trying to make his steps look calm and steady.There was only one thing that he insisted on all the time - in front of Su Wan, he never took off his sunglasses, he didn't dare to let Su Wan see his eyes that were different from ordinary people.

After walking side by side for a while, Lin Huaiqian carefully searched for a topic: "Over the years... Longhu has been renovated many times, the outer fence has been changed, and many stone tables and chairs have been added..." Halfway through the conversation, I couldn't continue, I also feel too boring.

Unexpectedly, Su Wan took a serious look at the places he mentioned, nodded and said, "No wonder she's much prettier, almost unrecognizable."

Lin Huaigan was encouraged, and gradually let go of his hands and feet, became more natural, and spoke more and more smoothly.Su Wan also listened carefully, asking some questions curiously from time to time, and would smile at him when he got the answer.

While talking, the two walked into Pine Island. Lin Huaigan's heart sank when he realized this. He had just experienced such an accident, and this is the place he least wanted to come to at this moment.As soon as he approached this place, he couldn't control the guilt and anxiety surging in his heart. He always thought of Qi Buyang's expression when he said "Farewell", which made him loathe himself, but even if he did it all over again, he might still do the same thing. s Choice.So he wanted to escape from all this, especially when he was with Su Wan.

Su Wan didn't give him this chance, she spoke up suddenly, and it was so straightforward that Lin Huaiqian couldn't avoid it.

——"I already know about Bu Yang."

When Lin Huaigan heard it, his heart quickly cooled down. The side of his body close to Su Wan felt as if it had been poured with ice water, and felt like needles were being pricked, causing his skin to throb, but his neck was stiff and he did not dare to turn his head. Look at Su Wan's expression.

Compared with him, Su Wan's tone was very calm: "I also know that even if you don't do this, Bu Yang's body has reached its limit, and it probably won't last for a few days..." She paused, Lin Huai Taking a sneak peek at her face, Su Wan said slowly, "But I still can't forgive you."

With just one sentence, the man was crushed in an instant, his face turned pale, and he opened his mouth dumbly, unable to speak.I just feel dizzy, as if the whole person has fallen into the boundless darkness.

A trace of unbearableness flashed in Su Wan's eyes, but she didn't want to say anything against her will.She still remembered that many years ago, when she was just pregnant with Bu Yang, Lin Huaiqian often came to see her with a lot of supplements and baby products that she didn't know if she could use them. Fanyin joked with him: "Ah Gan , this child will be your niece from now on."

At that time Su Wan was still laughing, she didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, so she just said that.

But the boy who was only seventeen or eighteen years old listened, looked at her belly brightly, and promised: "Whether it is a boy or a girl, when he is born, I will treat him like my own child and accompany him to grow up." , let him live happily ever after!"

Maybe the person who made the promise has forgotten it now, but the person who listened to it will keep it firmly in their hearts. This memory is 17 years old.So when she learned that Lin Huaigan wanted to exchange Qi Buyang's life for her, she was very disappointed, because she and Fanyin trusted him so much.She thought that even if her parents were not around, there would be someone they trusted to accompany Qi Buyang, love him instead of them, and protect him from growing up.But he didn't expect that it was precisely this person who stretched out his hand to hurt Qi Buyang.

It's not that she doesn't know what Lin Huaigan is thinking, and Qi Fanyin can sense it to some extent, but they don't want to hurt Lin Huaigan's heart.They were already married at that time, and Lin Huaigan was seven years younger than them. Because he had no friends or parents, he grew up with Qi Fanyin, so even if Qi Fanyin got married, he always followed them both.Everyone regarded it as the admiration and obsession of a teenager, and Lin Huaigan had always behaved himself, never expressing his thoughts.They all felt that this youthful heart will gradually dissipate with time and with the growth of the owner, but they don't know that after the passing of the Sri Lankan, after 17 years, it will settle deeper, become richer, and even become Become an obsession, glow with a strange enthusiasm.

How is fate arranged?The three of them were involved, entangled for 17 years, and finally got involved with their children.

Thinking about it this way, Su Wan couldn't help feeling sad, no one spoke for a while, just kept silent.Unknowingly came to the foot of Junshan Mountain, Su Wan stopped, looked up at the crisp bamboo forest on the top of the mountain, with mixed feelings in his heart.But Lin Huaigan was still immersed in the blow and couldn't extricate himself, followed along in a trance, and found that Su Wan had stopped, so he hurriedly stopped, not wanting to trip over a stone, he staggered and almost fell, and the sunglasses on his face fell to the ground .

Su Wan hurriedly supported him, Lin Huaigan was in a panic and hurriedly tried to cover his eyes, but he was still seen - those gray-white eyes, prematurely aging eyes suddenly came into Su Wan's sight.

"Agan, what's wrong with your eyes?" Su Wan grabbed his arm, not letting him block it.

Lin Huaigan had no choice but to turn his head aside and tell her as calmly as possible: "It's okay, I acted against the sky, and I deserve it."

Hearing this, Su Wan's heart felt sour, and he couldn't help letting go, Lin Huaigan hurriedly picked up the sunglasses and put them on again.

"Why are you so stupid!" Su Wan looked at his actions, and finally couldn't help but curse out: "When Fan Yin passed away, you promised him that he would become a very powerful celestial master and that the Lin family's formation would flourish , take good care of me and Bu Yang, you are like this... how can I trust you to give Bu Yang to you!" She thought of the high-spirited young man many years ago, and then looked at the middle-aged man who was showing signs of aging and looked downcast, My heart ached, and I choked up a little after I scolded.

Seeing that her eyes were red, Lin Huaigan panicked, but didn't know what to do, so he could only apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I'm sorry for Bu Yang, and I'm sorry for you..."

Su Wan closed his eyes, calmed down a little, interrupted his series of apologies, and said softly: "You didn't apologize to me, but I delayed you. You have worked hard for so many years."

Lin Huaigan shook his head.

Su Wan said again: "From now on, just forget about me."

Lin Huaigan's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible, and he refused to agree.Seeing him like this, Su Wan felt helpless, "I didn't want to tell you." She pointed to her face, "Take a good look." Only then did Lin Huaiqian realize that that face was no longer as vibrant as it was when Qi Buyang was still there. , now there is only a piece of dead white left, and the lips have also lost their blood color, so white that they are almost transparent, and even slightly blue.

Su Wan explained: "Bu Yang's body is dying, even if it works, I won't use my son's body to live on. I gave all my anger to him when I gave birth to Bu Yang, and my soul can stay until now Not bad, don't think of any other way to save me, it's useless."

Lin Huaigan was so shocked that he could hardly stand upright. Su Wan stretched out his hand to support him, and then said: "I came back this time to say goodbye to you, especially Bu Yang. I'm leaving after saying goodbye. , Fanyin has been waiting for me for so many years, it's time."

"You...where are you going?" Lin Huaigan asked.

"Reincarnation." Su Wan smiled, "I hope to meet you again in the next life..." She paused for a moment, her smile faded, and she seemed to laugh at herself, "But you still don't want to meet me, so you don't have to worry about it." Get dragged down by me again."

Lin Huaiqian shook his head quickly, "It's not a drag, I'm willing!" His tone was as eager as if he was afraid that Su Wan would not believe him, and he wished to show his heart to the other party, exactly the same as that foolish boy many years ago.

Su Wan wanted to laugh, but her heart was sour, and she wanted to cry.Pursing her lips, she said softly, "I don't blame you for what you did to Bu Yang."

Hearing this sentence, Lin Huaiqian seemed to be on the verge of an amnesty, only to hear Su Wan say again: "But whether Bu Yang is willing to forgive you, I don't know."

"I...I'm sorry for him..." Lin Huaigan rubbed his hands, eager to do something for their mother and son, so as to make up for his mistakes, even if it was just a little bit, "I will find a way to get Bu Yang back, I will check the information when I get back, and I will definitely find a way!"

Su Wan shook her head, "No need." She put her hand on her heart, from which she could feel a familiar and close warmth, just like when Qi Buyang was still in her stomach, mother and child are connected, she knows What's hiding there.Her eyes were gentle, and her pale face became vivid, as if exuding a faint maternal brilliance, she muttered to herself: "Bu Yang has his own destiny. He will walk his own way."

Seeing this familiar smile, Lin Huaigan suddenly calmed down miraculously.

Perhaps the 17 years of searching for it were just for one thought of his own - the sudden death of Su Wan made him crazy. Some secret thoughts also instantly lost the object of projection, leaving him at a loss and feeling empty in his heart, as if he could fill it up as long as he rescued Su Wan.Before he knew it, it became an obsession that filled his life and became his only long-cherished wish for living.Now I have tried my best to get a futile result, but it is not as unacceptable as I imagined. Instead, it seems to have relieved a heavy burden, and it is a bit relaxed.

He finally remembered the reason why he decided to keep his mouth shut, bury his love deeply in his heart, and silently guard their family—it was this expression, this expression that was so gentle that it seemed to have the whole world.He likes that kind of smile and wants to protect it, he can't bear to destroy it, and he can't allow him to interfere.

"Agan, if Bu Yang can come back, you..."

Before Su Wan could finish speaking, Lin Huaigan took up the conversation himself, "I will do my best to keep him safe and happy."

Su Wan smiled, all the haze receded from the smile, just like the young girl Lin Huaiqian met for the first time in his memory.

"Are you leaving?" Lin Huai asked reluctantly.

Su Wan shook his head, then nodded again, "I may stay for another day or two, but we won't see each other again."

"Then in the end, can you accompany me to that place again." This is his last wish, and it is also a scene that often appears in his dreams.

That place is the top of Junshan Mountain, the ancient stone table deep in the bamboo forest.

Su Wan agreed, and together they walked up the path to the place where fate first began. Everything seemed to go back to that day many years ago - the sun was shining, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the bamboo forest swayed gently in the breeze, rustling. There was a loud noise, and the dazzling spots of light fell on the girl's long hair, dancing briskly.

There was a boy standing on a small road not far away, secretly watching the girl's beautiful smile, blushing and afraid to go forward.

"If," Lin Huaiqian asked softly, as if afraid of disturbing the good memories, "if I had walked up to you and talked to you first, would the ending have been different?"

Su Wan smiled slightly, "Who knows, there are no ifs in this world." She turned her face to stare at Lin Huaiqian, and said seriously: "So, when you meet someone you like in the future, don't be afraid, just go bravely. Talk to her."

"Don't wait until the next life, you are still young, and you still have time to pursue your own happiness."

After saying this, Su Wan left, and declined Lin Huaigan's proposal to send her back. She has been away from this city for 17 years, and she wants to take a good look at its current appearance these few days.

Lin Huaigan was left alone, standing in the middle of the bamboo forest in a daze, recalling Su Wan's words just now, couldn't help but shed tears.

This time, it was for himself.
