not demon

【24】

It was windy and snowy on the mountain, and two figures suddenly flew out from behind the mountain. One was dressed in black, the hem of the clothes was outlined with gold thread, his hair was tied up high, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he looked domineering.

Beside him was an old man with white beard, wearing a blue cloak, with only a pale face exposed inside.But the appearance is smiling.

"Smelly Taoist priest, what did you bring me here for?" Ye Chen was really a crow, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid of the cold in winter, even if his hands and feet were cold, he still had his body protected by zhenqi, so he wouldn't be harmed.

"I'll take you to see the aura of all things." Daoist Qinghe said with a smile, he put away the whisk in his hand, and using his finger as a boundary, he transformed into a dream-like world on a large screen.

Everything in the world seems to be blown into this dream, from the birds flying freely in the sky, to the creatures running wildly on the ground, and the fish and shrimps growing under the water, they all have crystal souls.

Yechen watched intently, and suddenly he saw himself, even if it was a crow, he stayed with the creatures in the world, sinking together.Daoist Qinghe next to him waved his hand, and another place appeared——

It was a paradise, with colorful fallen flowers, the stream turbulently flowed down from the top of the mountain, turned into a waterfall, entered the river, and merged with it.

The willows beside the stream grow straight, and the hanging willows seem to be able to brush against people's cheeks, making them comfortable and comfortable. Yechen saw it, and suddenly he didn't understand the meaning of Taoist Qinghe bringing him here.

"Yechen, look over there." Daoist Qinghe kindly pointed out a passage for him. Yechen looked up, and suddenly there were a few transparent auras, which startled him.

"This is……"

"This is the place where all the dead creatures are born again." Daoist Qinghe stroked the beard that grew to his chest, and opened his lips and said quietly: "Gu Qingming is here, and your mother is also here."

"My... aunt?" Yechen's eyes changed slightly, he looked at Taoist Priest Qinghe and said, "Really, where is my aunt?"

"Your aunt is here to give birth to a new aura." Daoist Qinghe waved his hand, and thousands of auras suddenly surged into the sky, circling in the blue sky, "All species with auras in the world will not truly After death, after they die, they will only find a place to regenerate their spiritual breath, and then wait to turn into a species again, and those with better cultivation can also turn into a human body."

"I have always felt that crows are also one of the spiritual species in the world, but you are blinded by hatred and hide your kind and beautiful side."

Daoist Qinghe dispersed the spiritual breath, "As long as you are willing to do something to make up for it, your mother will come back soon."

"Compensation... how to compensate?"

"Now it's spring in the world, and all the birds that move in autumn and return in spring will go back, and Gu Qingming is no exception. It's just that his soul is trapped in Xuzhou, so he has never been able to return here to give birth to his spiritual breath. His spirit is brought here."

Daoist Qinghe smiled slightly: "Of course, it may be a difficult problem for you."

"Why?" Yechen also had a faint feeling in his heart that he wanted to do this, not to mention that he could save his mother, so why not do it?

"Because Gu Qingming's soul obsession is too deep, it is difficult to bring Xuzhou out. You have to ask for his consent."

Daoist Qinghe tore off a small piece of his sleeve, and quickly cast a spell in his hand, and the piece of cloth turned into a gray kit, "Furthermore, Fang Yueheng put his soul in a wooden box, you put the wooden box Put them together in this kit, and bring them to Luoxue Mountain to find me."

Yechen accepted the kit in doubt, his dark eyes sank, and he asked, "What if Gu Qingming doesn't want to come with me?"

"That's why you have to ask for his permission, son." Daoist Qinghe led him out of the virtual realm, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It can be seen that Gu Qingming loves Fang Yueheng too much, and may not go with you , but the longer he stays there, the weaker the soul will be, and it is very likely that the soul will not be able to gather together in the end, so there is really no way."

"Uh..." Ye Chen lowered his head.

"Since you have done something wrong and you have to redeem yourself, I believe you can bring him back." Daoist Qinghe said in a warm voice, "You have your mother, and Gu Qingming has Fang Yueheng. You are originally the same kind of soul." Things have their own obsessions."

"Go ahead and do something meaningful."

three years ago……

"Old Li, isn't the young master coming back today?" Gu Qingming was wearing a light dark green shirt, sitting on the steps of the mansion gate, and asked with his face propped up, "It's already sunset, why is there no sign of him yet?"

"Master Gu, the young master may be busy, don't worry, he will definitely be back before dinner."

"But it's been so long..." Gu Qingming was muttering to himself in a low voice, when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a carriage approaching in the distance, and immediately jumped up jubilantly.

But immediately realized that his image was not very good, he hurriedly adjusted his clothes, and went forward nervously——

"Stop." Fang Yueheng in the carriage lifted the curtain, saw that he was almost at the gate of the house, so he simply got out of the carriage and walked over.

"Master Fang..." Someone under the carriage called weakly.

Fang Yueheng raised his head, only to see clearly that it was Gu Qingming, who was wearing a dark green shirt today.

He, who was already fair, was set off to look more like a green bamboo. The wind is always harsh, and the autumn air is inseparable.

Fang Yueheng felt as if he had been scratched thousands of times by a few feathers, so he looked down at his fingers first, and asked softly, "How is your hand, is it better today?"

"It's better." Gu Qingming's slender fingers were still wrapped with gauze, and he was still a little nervous when he saw Fang Yueheng staring at him.

"Didn't you eat?" Fang Yueheng looked up at Lao Li. Although the words seemed to be asking Gu Qingming, they were more like blaming Lao Li for his mistakes.

"Master, Mr. Gu said he wanted to have dinner with you when you came back..." Lao Li explained while casting his gaze at Gu Qingming.

"Well, I want to wait for you..." Gu Qingming took a step forward and said to Fang Yueheng.

"What am I waiting for, in case I don't come back tonight, you'll just sit at the gate of the mansion?" Fang Yueheng glanced at him indifferently.

"Uh..." Gu Qingming didn't expect that he would say that to him, and thought that he would get some favor from him anyway, which was really self-defeating.

Fang Yueheng didn't treat him like this on purpose, but he just felt that Gu Qingming was too smooth, and always thought of ways to talk about him.

It was as if he had deliberately left some traces in that person's heart.

"Go in, I didn't say anything about you, just look at your bitter face." Fang Yueheng took a step ahead.

Gu Qingming hurriedly followed, he didn't understand why the person who was so gentle to him last night was so serious to him this evening.

"By the way, young master, today is the Lantern Festival, do you want to go out to see tonight?" Lao Li followed his young master and said, "Yunxiu and the others all said they wanted to go out and have a look, young master probably won't stop you..."

"Of course not." As soon as Fang Yueheng entered the mansion, he saw a few maids putting up lanterns in the gazebo there, talking and laughing, which added a bit of color to the spring garden.

"Qingming! Qingming!" Seeing Gu Qingming coming in, the little maids surrounded her, "Look at how my lantern is tied up like this, no matter how I make it, it doesn't look like a lantern..."

"Qingming help me to look at mine, mine doesn't look good either..."

"The red paper looks good, and the yellow paper will be too dark when it is lit at night, so you can't see it."

Fang Yueheng saw that Gu Qingming was quite popular with the maids, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and asked Lao Li, "When did he get so close to the people in the house?"

"Young master, do you mean Young Master Gu?" Old Li smiled, "Young Master Gu is very handy, he can make lanterns, Ningxue and Xiao Qiu both said that Young Master Gu will help them do it."

"Didn't they get lanterns when Gu Qingming didn't exist before? Why this year..."

When Fang Yueheng looked at Gu Qingming and told them how to stretch origami with a smile, he felt sour for some reason, "Why have you learned from that person this year?"

"Little girls like to find new things to play with. The young master doesn't care about them. I guess they will go down after the Lantern Festival."

"Gu Qingming can make lanterns?" Fang Yueheng asked.

"Yes." Lao Li said, then looked up at the sky, and said: "Master, let's go in for dinner."

"Well, call Gu Qingming." Fang Yueheng was going to go to the study to pack some things first, "He has been waiting for me on the steps for so long, it would be a bit unreasonable not to bring him here."

While helping those little girls make lanterns, Gu Qingming peeked at Fang Yueheng, and when the man entered the study, he sighed and continued to wind the iron wire in his hand.

A few days ago, he had nothing to do in the room, so he made lanterns for fun. It happened that the Lantern Festival was coming soon. Who knew that he hadn't finished one of them, but a maid came in to deliver tea to him. Gu Qingming insisted on teaching her, Naturally, Gu Qingming didn't shirk it, but as more and more people learned how to do it, he became busy.

"Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu." Lao Li came out of the study and came over to Gu Qingming and said, "Master said he wanted to have dinner with you tonight."

"Ah?" A trace of surprise flashed across Gu Qingming's face, "Okay...Okay, I'll go over right away."

"By the way, the young master is a person who is not good at expressing himself. What he said this afternoon has no other meaning, so don't pay too much attention to Mr. Gu." Old Li reminded kindly.

"I know." Gu Qingming nodded.

"Then go, by the way, let's make a lantern for the young master too." Lao Li smiled, "The young master is that kind of person, he obviously wants something, but if he doesn't say anything, he will go to the Lantern Festival at night Yes, Mr. Gu should make one for him too."

"Ah... I'm actually..." Gu Qingming opened his mouth, wanting to say that his first lantern was actually made for Fang Yueheng, but someone happened to see it that day.
