The devil is me

Only then did Wu Nian hear Xi Buwen's voice, stood up and looked at him, with a complicated look on his face and didn't know what to say for a moment, Xi Buwen walked up carelessly and almost wanted to give Wu Nian a hug, and was snaked away by Wu Nian Easily avoided.

Xiao Er let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the two knew each other, and hurriedly closed the door and went out to prepare hot water.

Xi Buwen retracted his arms in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Didn't you go back to Jialan Temple?"

"Just a few days after I left, I heard that something happened to Xi's family, so I rushed back to have a look." Wu Nian deliberately avoided Xi Buwen's probing gaze, looking a little embarrassed, "I just happened to meet other juniors and asked them to send senior brother Xuanmin to him. gone back."

"Ha, I know you care about me." Xi Buwen sat down with a smile, drank a cup of tea in one go, and poured another cup.

Wu Nian didn't refute, just asked: "How are you?"

Xi Buwen waved the cup to his lips, stared at the edge of the cup and smiled wryly: "It's not good, a child without a mother is like a grass."

Wu Nian had already heard about this, and before he could say the consoling words he had thought of, Xi Buwen grinned: "What, what to do, life is going to pass. I have to talk to this murderer Play around and make him unhappy."

Xi Buwen clenched the teacup tightly with his fingertips, and slightly narrowed his fox eyes, the pupils were dark and the whites of the eyes were pure, making his eyes look clear and affectionate, still the same as before.But Wu Nian could see that there was some kind of dark and forbearing emotion in his eyes, the heartless and carefree young man who had snatched the bell from him before no longer existed.

Wu Nian's eyes were gloomy, and he could no longer say those comforting words, as if those words and sentences had turned into an endless abyss, leaving only futility and emptiness.

Fortunately, the shop waiter came in to smooth things over. He brought in a bath bucket, and brought in two large buckets of hot water. His eyes lingered on the faces of Xi Buwen and Wu Nian, and he asked cheerfully, "Which guest will wash first?"

Xi Buwen naturally did his part for this kind of comfortable matter, and immediately raised his hand: "Me first! Me first!" He turned his head to look at Wu Nian's wink: "Brother let me, don't you mind?"

Wu Nian has no intention of scrambling to be the first, but just sits down and recites the scriptures calmly, which naturally means "as you please".

Xi Buwen drove Xiao Er out of the door and closed the door, immediately took off his clothes and belt, his chest was wide open, he was not ashamed.Instead, Wu Nian had nowhere to look down, so he simply closed his eyes, only hearing the sound of splashing water and He Xi Buwen sighing comfortably.

"I haven't had a good bath for a few days, it really stinks." Xi Buwen muttered, "The woodshed also stinks, I can't even tell if it's the horse manure or mine."

The brown pony in the circle had its nose itchy from the steam, and immediately neighed to express its rebuttal.

After a while, Wu Nian suddenly couldn't hear the sound of water, and the surroundings were silent. He opened his eyes, and saw Xi Buwen leaning on the side of the bucket, with his arms resting on the edge of the bucket, his eyes closed, and his two locks were broken. The hair was wet and stuck to his face, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was sweat, water, or tears that rolled all over his face.

Xi Buwen suddenly said: "Wu Nian, tell me, am I a natural nemesis, whoever treats me well will die."

Wu Nian's throat clenched: "There is no one who curses his parents and brothers like this. It is natural for a family to love each other."

Xi Buwen thought to himself, it's not just parents and brothers.But he asked again: "What about you? What about your parents and brothers? I haven't heard you mention it."

Wu Nian replied: "I have never seen it before. I was thrown in Jialan Temple since I was a baby. It was my master who picked me up."

Xi Buwen was at a loss for words, and said after a while, "I'm sorry."

"It's nothing. If you have never owned it, you will have no attachment. If you don't have attachment, you will have no suffering."

"If there is no attachment, there will be no suffering." Xi Buwen grinned, mostly in a self-deprecating manner. He took another spoonful of water and rinsed his body carefully, then stood up: "It's almost there."

Xi Buwen's skin was scalded to a light pink color, he just wiped it with a towel, and jumped out of the bucket, splashing water all over the floor.

In fact, when we were in Jialan Temple, everyone also took a bath together, Wu Nian didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Xi Wuwen couldn't help but close his eyes quickly, feeling that it was a hindrance to the view.

After thinking about it, he felt that in Jialan Temple, everyone adhered to the code of words and deeds of a gentleman, do not see or listen to injustice.But Xi Buwen is different, no matter whether he is wearing clothes or not, he will stare at you and talk with great sincerity, and he talks a lot, like a chattering child, if you don't look at him, it seems that you are guilty, Staring at him, I felt that I was coveting a piece of beautiful jade.

Hearing that Xi Buwen was rustling in his clothes, Wu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a delicate sachet falling from his arms.

Wu Nian picked it up for him as he was close. The pink silk was neatly embroidered, and it seemed to contain atractylodes, angelica, and calamus, which have the effect of dispelling turbidity and repelling plague.

Xi Buwen took it and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Wu Nian frowned until Xi Buwen helped him refill the bath water, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's your turn!"

For some reason, Wu Nian knew that there was nothing wrong with his nonchalant temper, but he couldn't help but shudder when he heard the three words "it's your turn" through gritting his back molars.

Wu Nian stood up: "You go out."

Xi Buwen stared at him: "Brother, you don't have to be so reserved, right? Two big men..."

"Get out." Wu Nian listened to his nonsense.

"I'm wearing an underwear, it's not suitable to go out..."

Wu Nian's Buddhist pestle began to hum, Xi Buwen covered his buttocks with one hand, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, I'll hang the smock in the middle to block it, is that okay?"

The two then took a step back.

Wu Nian took a bath with a very low sound and very light movements, unlike Xi Buwen, who took a bath like a dragon king raining.

The slight sound of water seemed to tickle Buwen's heart, causing him to probe his head and restless.

"Hey, Monk, why do you say that you are twitching like a big girl after taking a bath? Could it be that you have some treasure in your hands?"

Ignore him without thinking.

"Do you know Wu Nian? It's not good for you to be like this." Xi Buwen sighed, "You can't hold a fart for a long time like this, in case something happens, such as... such as..."

He didn't know what it was like, so he said nonsense for a long time: "For example, he was kidnapped by a flower picker. There was no movement at all. I don't know."

Before he finished speaking, the window of the firewood room was shattered with a bang, and a black shadow flew past the window at high speed!

Xi Buwen immediately put on his clothes and stood up. As soon as the barrier in the middle was removed, Wu Nian's bare shoulders were exposed in Xi Buwen's field of vision. Asked to catch a glimpse of a dark brown scar, but it was said to be a scar, but there were no uneven marks, more like a birthmark.

Xi Buwen was stunned for a moment, Wu Nian had already dressed and jumped out of the window.

As far as Wu Nian's skill is really fast, when Xi Buwen caught up, Wu Nian had already died down, and drew a swastika in a secluded place, trapping the black shadow in the center of the magic circle.

Xi Buwen took a closer look at the golden light of the magic circle, and was amused: "Hey, why is it Xue Xun?"

"The corpse has changed." Wu Nian replied.

"It's outrageous." Xi Buwen looked around Xue Xun, "I still want to dig his grave for autopsy, isn't it easy?" Then he bowed to the distance again: " Uncle Xue, don't blame me, this is your big brother who ran out by himself."

Wu Nian is a man of action, and has already moved closer to examine the corpse.Xue Xun was buried for several days. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot, and he didn't rot too much. But after all, his body was covered with dirt, his eyes were staring, his eyes were bloodshot, and his complexion was ashen.Wu Nian but not particular, patted the dirt on his shoulder, pointed to a place and said: "Look, there is a needle's eye here."

Xi Buwen suppressed his smile and took a closer look, it was indeed a very small wound.It is exactly the same as when Mrs. Huang died.

"Finally we have found the cause of death." Xi Buwen sighed, "This kind of hidden weapon can be used in a huge range, and it can be used outside the door, window and outside. In this way, it is difficult to judge who is the murderer."

The two were helpless, they covered their noses and groped Xue Xun's body again, but there were no other clues.

Xi Buwen drew a talisman and pasted it on Xue Xun's forehead to stabilize the corpse: "Yes, we have to send him back."

"Use the soul lock bell?" Wu Nian asked.

"The soul-locking bell can only hold spirit bodies."

Wu Nian patted the dirt on his hands, and said helplessly, "Okay, then you carry it on your back."

"Ah?" Xi Buwen asked, "Can't you use the Qiankun sleeve?"

"Put it together with the food magic weapon?"

Xi Buwen scratched his head and smacked his lips: "Tsk, it seems a little out of touch."

Wu Nian had already walked to the front, so Xi Buwen had no choice but to drag Xue Xun onto his shoulders.Carrying a girl is a common thing in this life, and it is not impossible to carry a brother, but it is indeed a rare experience to carry a dead body on the road.

I heard that there is a kind of profession in this village, which is called a corpse driver, and it is for this job.

But he has money to make, Xi Buwen thought angrily, he has worked so hard to send it back to the Xue family, and he has to sneak around, if he is found out, he will not be able to tell!

Wu Nian has long legs and walks fast, Xi Buwen trots behind with a heavy load, shaking the dirt all the way, the bath is a waste of time.He was so embarrassed that he finally walked to Wu Nian's side, pinched the hem of his shirt with his fingertips, and said flatteringly: "My good brother, let's discuss something with you."

Wu Nian knew that he only called himself "brother" when he needed something from himself, so he immediately replied, "I won't recite it for you."

"Oh no, good brother, how about you just memorize two miles?" Seeing that Wu Nian ignored him, Xi Buwen stretched out another finger, "One mile?"

Xi Buwen felt that the corners of Wu Nian's lips were curled up, as if he was smiling, so without waiting for a reply, he immediately made a decision: "Deal!"

Wu Nian unexpectedly did not refute, but walked faster.

Hearing a mile away from Yuanling, Xi Buwen was finally relieved, he leaned Xue Xun against a tree and let out a long breath, wiped off his sweat and said, "It's your turn!"

Wu Nian glanced at him, took out a tattered wooden fish from his bosom, and said something.When Xi Buwen turned his head, Xue Xun's body was taken in so easily!

Xi Buwen always felt that Wu Nian was a serious monk, and he was only teased by him, but there was no reason to lie to him. This time he was dumbfounded, with incredible writing on his face: "You wooden fish... this..."

Wu Nian gracefully carried the wooden fish back into his arms: "Let's go."

"Stinky monk!! You have a magic weapon and you still let me carry him!!"
