Jian Xingcan and his team never thought of such an answer.
The old man was standing in the yard, he seemed to be looking into the distance, his eyes became far away, and finally he sighed heavily and said, "They won't tell you the reason, right? It's not because they don't want to tell you. It's because I really can't afford to lose this person!"
Everyone looked at each other.
After thinking about all the possibilities, I really didn't expect such an answer.
The kitten lazily lay down at grandma's feet, sleeping comfortably on its belly. It was obviously well-raised by this family. It was not even afraid of people, but lazily avoided the camera.
Shen Linji said in a low voice, "There must be a reason, isn't there?"
The old grandma washed the dishes, and she rolled up the broken hair on her temples, and her voice was full of vicissitudes: "We don't know the specific story, it's all the rules and stories left by the ancestors. I heard that a long, long time ago, we The whole village was originally very small, but later our Li family moved here. One day, the youngest son of our family went into the mountains to play, but he was not in any danger. At a critical moment, he was rescued by the cat god. God knows what people say, and told us not to tell others what happened in the mountains."
Shen Yequan listened to it as a fairy tale.
After all, the ancients handed down many myths and stories long ago. At that time, technology was not developed, and people often liked to spread rumors and make up gods by themselves.
Shen Ye asked, "Then what happened later, what does it have to do with you not keeping cats?"
The old grandma touched the cat next to her and said, "Later..."
Seeing that she was in a daze, the old man said, "The child had an accident but came back intact. The news spread in the village immediately. Everyone thought that cat fairy was a fairy, and they all wanted to go to the mountains to find it." , I want to give thanks for it.”
At this point in the story, many people can almost guess the follow-up.
Only Shen Linji sneered.
Everyone looked sideways at him, but saw the man leaning against the railing of the fence, his shadow stretched by the sunlight, the man said slowly, "Thank you?"
"Isn't it because you know it has the power to save people, so you think it is useful." Shen Linji's eyes were full of indifference: "Do you want to see it again and let it satisfy your wish?"
There is silence in the boundless bamboo forest.
Shen Ye had never seen his elder brother look so aggressive.
As far back as he could remember, Shen Linji had never acted impulsively, nor would he forcefully interfere in other people's affairs. This was the first time he saw his elder brother speak so impolitely.
The audience in the live broadcast room even discussed:
"Fuck, I didn't think so."
"Since Yingdi Shen said that, isn't that the way it is?"
"Damn."
"Damn it, I've already told you not to spread the word."
"Go to someone under the banner of repaying your favor."
The old man seemed to understand the truth, he lowered his head in shame, and said: "Later, this matter spread out somehow, and the cat fairy was no longer seen. After he left, our mountain has not been seen for many years." We can’t grow food, the trees can’t bear fruit, and the flowers can’t bloom. We know we are sorry for it, so we keep it from generation to generation to repay the mistakes of the past.”
This sounds like a mere fairy tale.
There will be some strange rumors in every village, all of which are just to relieve the boredom of the younger generation.
Shen Ye scratched his head and said, "Then it's true that what you did was a bit dishonest."
Grandpa didn't speak.
Zhang Shan, who has been listening to the story quietly, said: "Even so, you don't have to atone for your sins by not keeping cats in every household. Your ancestors have lived and guarded the mountain of Mao Daxian for generations. This is enough to repay the mistakes of the past, isn't it?"
unless.
The mistakes you have made are more than that.
The old lady looked embarrassed and said, "That's all the stories I know. They are all stories passed down from my ancestors. We don't know the details."
"So it is!"
There was a sound from outside the courtyard door.
It was An Zhe and Gao Heyun's team, and they came over at some point.
Anzhe walked in after listening to all the stories. With a smile on his fair face, he walked up to the old man and showed a considerate look: "Grandpa and grandma, don't blame yourself, it's just a legend. It's all fake, and I think it may have been thousands of years, you are so sincere, I think that great fairy is also wrong, just want to meet, thank you, it's fine if you don't meet, It's really a bit stingy to let no grass grow on the mountain."
after speaking
An Zhe looked at Jian Xingcan who hadn't spoken all the time: "Brother Can, what do you think?"
Jian Xingcan's eyes were dark and deep. He raised his head, glanced at the two old men, and said nothing for a long time.
But at this time, there were contradictory opinions from the side.
Shen Ye snorted coldly and said, "I don't think so!"
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"It's so stingy, it said not to spread it, it's because the villagers didn't abide by the agreement!" Shen Ye said confidently: "Besides, how do you know it's just a meeting, maybe if everyone If you look for it all, what kind of trouble will it cause? You blame it for not even a single blade of grass, what did it do, and it even saved the child!"
An Zhe was stunned for no reason.
He sneered and said: "Brother Ye, I'm just talking about it, it's just a folklore, what are you doing so seriously, I just think that even if the villagers are at fault, then they have guarded for so many years, isn't such an apology enough? , why should I forgive you?"
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
Just when Jian Xingcan opened his mouth to speak, a somewhat cold voice sounded: "If you apologize, do you have to forgive?"
Everyone suddenly looked at Shen Linji.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the whole sky red, such a fire cloud, bright red, just like the color of blood pressing down on the environment, and the birds in the valley flew across the sky, singing melodiously.
The man stood there, his slender and tall body brought an invisible sense of oppression, he looked at An Zhe, slowly opened his lips and said: "I'll give you a knife, and then apologize, can you forgive me?"
An Zhe choked.
Gao Heyun hurriedly smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, the severity of these two incidents is not the same. How can they be compared?"
Shen Linjie gave him a cold look, and only took one look, which actually made Gao Heyun feel that there was a sharp edge on his back.
The atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
After a while—
Shen Linjie clenched his lips: "Indeed, the severity of these two incidents is fundamentally different."
Gao Heyun suddenly felt that this sentence seemed to mean something, but in Shen Linji's eyes, he seemed to have become a fool, and he was still hopeless.
……
Shen Linjie ignored him.
The man took a step forward, walked up to Jian Xingcan, and said to him, "Let's go?"
Jian Xingcan came back to his senses, and he nodded slightly.
An Zhe said, "Have you heard the story already?"
"Then why don't you stay and continue listening." Shen Ye turned to him and said, "Anyway, you are here to pick up our leaks."
An Zhe choked up angrily.
A group of people left from the bamboo forest. They obviously got part of the story, but they were not particularly happy. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this story is not a very touching one.
Everyone gather at the entrance of the village.
The director said: "Please write the stories you have summarized on the cards, and we will allocate the next houses for everyone according to the completeness of the stories of each group."
It is enough for each group to have one person write.
After taking the pen and paper, Shen Linjie said, "Shall I write?"
Jian Xingcan nodded lightly and said, "Okay."
Each group submitted their own stories, and the staff checked them one by one. Finally, the director announced the results and said: "According to the different degrees of completion of everyone's stories, the group of Teacher Shen and Sui Sui is the highest, so they The two can choose a house first."
The staff moved a panel.
There are four different small courtyards drawn on it, some are by the lake and river, and some are in the bamboo forest, each with its own flavor.
Shen Linjie looked at it for a while, then said to Jian Xingcan, "Choose this one?"
His slender fingers pointed at the house by the lake.
Jian Xingcan suddenly remembered in a trance that he said when he was chatting with the senior brother that if one day he has a house of his own, he must build it by the water.
Looking at the house, Jian Xingcan had a light smile on his face, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Shen Ye leaned over and said, "A house by the lake? I want to live too, how about we go together?"
Shen Linji glanced at him: "Of course."
Shen Ye's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Really?"
Shen Linjie nodded, and said slowly, "Well, you live in the water."
"..."
Shen Ye fell into silence.
Jian Xingcan laughed softly.
Nao Nao Nao Nao, but the last group of people still returned to their houses. Jian Xingcan followed Shen Linji to find the house they chose according to the map. It was indeed built by the lake. The house looked a little old, and the overall It reveals an air of some age.
Two people entered back and forth.
Originally thought it would be an antique long pavilion, but after entering it, I was shocked to see the whole picture inside.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed out loud:
"Hahahaha!"
"Program crew, you guys are so good!"
"Take the bamboo shoots!"
"The weeds grow so tall in this yard."
"It really killed me laughing."
Shen Linjie's gaze scanned the yard, and finally his gaze fell on the cameraman next to him, the program crew.
The cameraman trembled all over, and quickly said: "It's really none of my business, I don't know anything, it's all the director's idea..."
Shen Linjie hooked his lips and smiled comfortingly.
But his smile inexplicably revealed a bit of murderousness, which made the photographer back a few steps in fear.
Jian Xingcan walked into the yard, looked around, and said obediently when she came back, "There are quilts and beds."
Shen Linjie glanced at the bedroom, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, at least the show crew won't really let us live in the water."
The eccentric words caused the director not far away to shudder, and offended the vengeful Hades. Wu Jingang felt that he had to go out and hide for a while after the recording of the show was over.
Jian Xingcan wandered around, rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's okay, although the yard is a bit messy, we can live in after cleaning it ourselves."
Shen Linjie said, "We'll wait until tomorrow to clean up, it's getting dark."
Jian Xingcan took a look at the sky that was about to sink, nodded obediently, and walked into the room with the lights on. After being locked up at the bottom of the mountain for hundreds of years, he was used to the darkness and was also afraid of the darkness. The night was too dark It will remind him of the dark days before, and he will resist from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Linjie scanned several rooms and came to a conclusion: "There is nothing to eat."
Jian Xingcan also found out: "The program team didn't prepare food for us."
The audience in the live broadcast room were already laughing:
"These two are so calm."
"The groups next door are howling now."
"That's horrible."
"Isn't this a decrypted variety show?"
"This is obviously survival in the wilderness!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Jian Xingcan in the yard said: "I don't have much to eat in my bag. There were two eggs in it, but I fed them to the cat at noon."
It is even more impossible for Shen Linji to have food in his suitcase.
"It's okay, let's wait until tomorrow, maybe there will be something to eat tomorrow morning." Jian Xingcan said, clutching her stomach that was actually hungry after a long day of running around, "I'm actually not very hungry, so I can bear it."
The voice fell.
His unsatisfied stomach grunted in protest, proving that he was really hungry.
"..."
There was a moment of silence in the yard.
Then, the corners of Shen Linjie's lips hooked.
Jian Xingcan's face was a little hot, he lowered his head, trying to get into the ground.
However, Shen Linjie started to walk out of the courtyard, Jian Xingcan saw that he was going to leave, immediately followed closely, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Shen Linjie turned his head when he heard his words, the man glanced at him, curled his lips, glanced at Jian Xingcan's figure, and said meaningfully: "Hey cat."
……
Lakeside
half an hour later
Jian Xingcan applauded and said, "I really caught a fish!"
There is nothing in that house, but there are fishing gears. Coincidentally, I came to fish because it is close to the lake. Originally, fishing is a lucky job, and I didn't expect much. Come to the fish!
Shen Linjie said: "Turn on the fire, I'll roast it for you."
Jian Xingcan nodded heavily: "Okay!"
In fact, when Shen Linjie was fishing just now, he was already preparing. He picked up a lot of dry branches around him and piled them into a ball. The two of them started a fire in an open space by the lake.
A fierce fire broke out.
The live broadcast room is closed, and the cameraman is not there, just the two of them.
Jian Xingcan sat on the grass and watched Shen Linji grilling fish.
The sky has gradually darkened, and the stars have gradually filled the entire sky. Jian Xingcan looked at Shen Linji, and his thoughts slowly drifted away. He still remembered that it was always like this a long, long time ago. The juniors have long been bigu, and his father is strict with him, and he is not allowed to eat, and he is very greedy.
It is the law of the world that cats eat fish.
At that time, the eldest brother was strict, but he always grilled fish for him at night.
Shen Linji grilled the fish almost to the point and handed it to him: "Taste it."
Jian Xingcan leaned over and took a small bite. The grilled fish was charred on the outside and tender on the inside without any seasoning but had no fishy smell. His eyes lit up: "It's delicious."
Shen Linjie hooked his lips and handed him the fish.
Jian Xingcan ate a few mouthfuls, then took it back, her eyes were very serious: "Senior brother eats too."
Shen Linji waved his hand and said, "You can eat."
In fact, he doesn't like to eat fish at all, and in the past, for filming in the film crew, it was not uncommon for him to have one meal but not one, so he wasn't very hungry.
But Jian Xingcan was relentless: "If senior brother doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either."
Shen Linjiu paused.
Under the night, Jian Xingcan was wearing a clean white shirt, sitting by the fire, the moonlight was setting on the lakeside, sparkling, he was holding a fish, and there was still ashes on his face from eating too fast, his eyes flashed He looked at himself for a moment, as if he was the only one.
Shen Linjie lowered his head and took a bite of the fish.
Jian Xingcan said softly, "Is it delicious?"
Shen Linji nodded lightly.
Jian Xingcan showed a smile: "I knew that the fish grilled by senior brother is the best."
Shen Linji glanced at his happy smile, and said in a low voice, "So delicious?"
"Yeah!" Jian Xingcan counted her fingers and said, "It's the best fish I've ever eaten. It's better than those delicacies. In fact, I've always missed this taste. Now I finally have it. It's really delicious. I will never get tired of eating it in my life."
He said this with a smile.
Shen Linjie looked at his smile, and what he saw through this smile was more of the helpless figure of the most lively person left behind in those hundred years of solitude. .
Shen Linjie stretched out his hand, wiped off the ashes on his cheeks, and said in a low voice, "As long as you want to eat, I'll roast it for you."
Jian Xingcan asked, "Really?"
Shen Linjie nodded.
Jian Xingcan said hesitantly: "Then, if the brother gets married in the future, will he also grill fish for me?"
What Shen Ye said back then, although it was unintentional, still left a deep imprint on Jian Xingcan. Although Shen Ye didn't say it, he never forgot it.
Shen Linjie said, "Yes, I will."
Because I will only marry you.
But Jian Xingcan smiled happily, his eyes were full of smiles, he was a bit more beautiful than the sky full of stars, and his voice was clear and sweet: "Then I will eat the fish grilled by my senior brother for a lifetime!"
Shen Linji teased him and said, "Don't you eat anything else?"
Jian Xingcan said without hesitation: "I just eat fish, because our cats are born to live by eating fish!"
This is the first time, he said this after being reborn.
Jian Xingcan was also stunned, he held the fish, the smile on his face froze, then slowly lowered his head, took a small bite of the fish, and didn't speak any more.
Shen Linjie sat beside him.
The house of the two people is on a relatively high place. From here, you can see other houses in the village, some of which are emitting smoke, and some of which are still lit with warm yellow lights. The surroundings are very quiet, only when the wind blows across the grass. Bring a little bit of coolness in late autumn.
Shen Linjie spoke in a low voice. This was the first time he asked about Jian Xingcan's past: "Yuezhi, you were not on the mountain when the accident happened that day. You, but the disciples are still on the mountain."
Jian Xingcan's eyes suddenly turned red.
He knew that his father and mother's cultivation was also very high. It's not that they couldn't escape the fire on the mountain, but the disciples were still there and they couldn't leave. The disciples on the mountain were all fresh lives. Father He and his mother are their masters, and they treat every disciple as their own children.
"Master and master guessed that your identity might be revealed when you rescued that child, so they found a reason in advance to send you outside the mountain." Shen Linji said, "They want to protect you."
Jian Xingcan whispered, humming: "I know..."
"I know you are for me." Jian Xingcan's voice was soft: "Mother and father, sister and brother, you are all for me, you treat me well and protect me since childhood, even at that time I want to send me away too, but I am a monster, if not for me, Qiwu Mountain would not be destroyed at all, the villagers are right, I am an ominous evil, if the person who died in the first place was me..."
"Yue Zhi." Shen Linji's voice interrupted him, and he called his name: "Do you really think so?"
Jian Xingcan slowly looked up at him, her eyes were red.
Shen Linjie said calmly, "You are a civet, the embodiment of blessing and good luck. You have never been a monster."
Jian Xingcan pursed his lips, his nose sore, and he sat curled up on the ground without saying a word.
Shen Linji looked at him: "Back then, several sects encircled and suppressed Qiwu Mountain, not only because of you, they coveted Qiwu Mountain's spiritual veins, master and master never recruited disciples for money, most people in the world are willing to send disciples here Qi Wushan, the development of Qiwu Mountain in those few years is getting better and better, and the children of the aristocratic family are flocking to it more and more, they hold grudges in their hearts, and it is just an excuse for you."
Jian Xingcan raised her eyes suddenly, and looked at Shen Linji in disbelief.
Shen Linjie sat by the lake, the corner of his clothes was blown by the breeze: "If the world is all black, and suddenly white appears, then what do you think will happen?"
engulfs white.
Eliminate white.
Infestation, perish.
"When some disciples were caught, someone asked you where you were, and they threatened and lured them, saying that if you told your whereabouts, they would live." Shen Linji's voice was deep and cold. He looked at Jian Xingcan and asked, "Yue Zhi Although they said this, it was actually just an excuse. They were worried that our Qiwu Mountain lineage would grow stronger and even surpass them, so they must kill the grass and roots. Let me ask you, after that incident, the Qiwu Mountain lineage still exists alive?"
Jian Xingcan sat stiffly on the spot, tears streaming from his eyes, falling like broken beads, he shook his head lightly, covered his face and said with a choked voice: "When I went back, the mountain, the mountain was already burned. It was clean, not a blade of grass grew, and there was not a single living person."
Shen Linjie's eyes became dark and gloomy.
Jian Xingcan hugged himself, his whole body was shaking from crying, and his voice was so broken that he couldn't even connect: "I ran all over the mountain, and returned to the Zongmen's place, the soil there is black. No matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find you. The streams at the foot of the mountain were all red, and the water was still red after a day and a night. Many villagers at the foot of the mountain were watching, but no one helped. The group of people sealed the mountain, saying it was ominous. In this land, they arrested me and sealed me under the mountain, saying that destiny has guidance, I am a disaster, an evil god, and will cause disaster to the world."
Never forget the flames and smoke that day.
The whole mountain was burning. The fire lasted for several days and nights, and the river was flowing with dark red water, and the smell of blood was everywhere. At the foot of the mountain, he cried and begged the villagers to help put out the fire, and begged them to save him. Brother, no one to help.
He cried, to no avail.
His tears were already running dry.
"I hate it so much." Jian Xingcan said softly: "I really hate it. My brother taught me before that we should help those in need and not hurt others. I rescued that child from falling off a cliff. When something happened to you, I also begged them not to hurt you, but they just didn't agree, and that's right, they said that I was a monster who was born to harm the common people, so they didn't help me."
Shen Linjie's voice was as deep as ink: "What did you do, go beyond it."
Jian Xingcan paused, his face was covered with tears, and the moonlight fell on him, but he lowered his head and laughed softly: "I killed them."
Shen Linjie's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Who are they?"
The child in the white shirt in front of him used to be a little cowardly cat who didn't even dare to kill a chicken when he was practicing kung fu, and would cry and act coquettishly in pain when bumping into each other.
"Everyone from the Eight Great Sects." Jian Xingcan's voice was calm, and he looked up at him, like a child asking for credit, his eyes were pure and pure: "Not one was left."
The Qiwushan Incident is known all over the world.
None of the sect disciples who went to collect the demons returned. The fire in Mount Qiwu burned for several days and nights. The nine-tailed civet was so powerful that it even became a demon. The eight sects were almost exterminated. He provoked the punishment of heaven, and finally used all the power of the world to suppress him under the big formation, and imprison him for hundreds of years, until his soul and soul were all extinguished, he was not allowed to leave the formation.
The old man was standing in the yard, he seemed to be looking into the distance, his eyes became far away, and finally he sighed heavily and said, "They won't tell you the reason, right? It's not because they don't want to tell you. It's because I really can't afford to lose this person!"
Everyone looked at each other.
After thinking about all the possibilities, I really didn't expect such an answer.
The kitten lazily lay down at grandma's feet, sleeping comfortably on its belly. It was obviously well-raised by this family. It was not even afraid of people, but lazily avoided the camera.

Looking at the house, Jian Xingcan had a light smile on his face, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Shen Ye leaned over and said, "A house by the lake? I want to live too, how about we go together?"
Shen Linji glanced at him: "Of course."
Shen Ye's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Really?"
Shen Linjie nodded, and said slowly, "Well, you live in the water."
"..."
Shen Ye fell into silence.
Jian Xingcan laughed softly.
Nao Nao Nao Nao, but the last group of people still returned to their houses. Jian Xingcan followed Shen Linji to find the house they chose according to the map. It was indeed built by the lake. The house looked a little old, and the overall It reveals an air of some age.
Two people entered back and forth.
Originally thought it would be an antique long pavilion, but after entering it, I was shocked to see the whole picture inside.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed out loud:
"Hahahaha!"
"Program crew, you guys are so good!"
"Take the bamboo shoots!"
"The weeds grow so tall in this yard."
"It really killed me laughing."
Shen Linjie's gaze scanned the yard, and finally his gaze fell on the cameraman next to him, the program crew.
The cameraman trembled all over, and quickly said: "It's really none of my business, I don't know anything, it's all the director's idea..."
Shen Linjie hooked his lips and smiled comfortingly.
But his smile inexplicably revealed a bit of murderousness, which made the photographer back a few steps in fear.
Jian Xingcan walked into the yard, looked around, and said obediently when she came back, "There are quilts and beds."
Shen Linjie glanced at the bedroom, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, at least the show crew won't really let us live in the water."
The eccentric words caused the director not far away to shudder, and offended the vengeful Hades. Wu Jingang felt that he had to go out and hide for a while after the recording of the show was over.
Jian Xingcan wandered around, rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's okay, although the yard is a bit messy, we can live in after cleaning it ourselves."
Shen Linjie said, "We'll wait until tomorrow to clean up, it's getting dark."
Jian Xingcan took a look at the sky that was about to sink, nodded obediently, and walked into the room with the lights on. After being locked up at the bottom of the mountain for hundreds of years, he was used to the darkness and was also afraid of the darkness. The night was too dark It will remind him of the dark days before, and he will resist from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Linjie scanned several rooms and came to a conclusion: "There is nothing to eat."
Jian Xingcan also found out: "The program team didn't prepare food for us."
The audience in the live broadcast room were already laughing:
"These two are so calm."
"The groups next door are howling now."
"That's horrible."
"Isn't this a decrypted variety show?"
"This is obviously survival in the wilderness!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Jian Xingcan in the yard said: "I don't have much to eat in my bag. There were two eggs in it, but I fed them to the cat at noon."
It is even more impossible for Shen Linji to have food in his suitcase.
"It's okay, let's wait until tomorrow, maybe there will be something to eat tomorrow morning." Jian Xingcan said, clutching her stomach that was actually hungry after a long day of running around, "I'm actually not very hungry, so I can bear it."
The voice fell.
His unsatisfied stomach grunted in protest, proving that he was really hungry.
"..."
There was a moment of silence in the yard.
Then, the corners of Shen Linjie's lips hooked.
Jian Xingcan's face was a little hot, he lowered his head, trying to get into the ground.
However, Shen Linjie started to walk out of the courtyard, Jian Xingcan saw that he was going to leave, immediately followed closely, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Shen Linjie turned his head when he heard his words, the man glanced at him, curled his lips, glanced at Jian Xingcan's figure, and said meaningfully: "Hey cat."
……
Lakeside
half an hour later
Jian Xingcan applauded and said, "I really caught a fish!"
There is nothing in that house, but there are fishing gears. Coincidentally, I came to fish because it is close to the lake. Originally, fishing is a lucky job, and I didn't expect much. Come to the fish!
Shen Linjie said: "Turn on the fire, I'll roast it for you."
Jian Xingcan nodded heavily: "Okay!"
In fact, when Shen Linjie was fishing just now, he was already preparing. He picked up a lot of dry branches around him and piled them into a ball. The two of them started a fire in an open space by the lake.
A fierce fire broke out.
The live broadcast room is closed, and the cameraman is not there, just the two of them.
Jian Xingcan sat on the grass and watched Shen Linji grilling fish.
The sky has gradually darkened, and the stars have gradually filled the entire sky. Jian Xingcan looked at Shen Linji, and his thoughts slowly drifted away. He still remembered that it was always like this a long, long time ago. The juniors have long been bigu, and his father is strict with him, and he is not allowed to eat, and he is very greedy.
It is the law of the world that cats eat fish.
At that time, the eldest brother was strict, but he always grilled fish for him at night.
Shen Linji grilled the fish almost to the point and handed it to him: "Taste it."
Jian Xingcan leaned over and took a small bite. The grilled fish was charred on the outside and tender on the inside without any seasoning but had no fishy smell. His eyes lit up: "It's delicious."
Shen Linjie hooked his lips and handed him the fish.
Jian Xingcan ate a few mouthfuls, then took it back, her eyes were very serious: "Senior brother eats too."
Shen Linji waved his hand and said, "You can eat."
In fact, he doesn't like to eat fish at all, and in the past, for filming in the film crew, it was not uncommon for him to have one meal but not one, so he wasn't very hungry.
But Jian Xingcan was relentless: "If senior brother doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either."
Shen Linjiu paused.
Under the night, Jian Xingcan was wearing a clean white shirt, sitting by the fire, the moonlight was setting on the lakeside, sparkling, he was holding a fish, and there was still ashes on his face from eating too fast, his eyes flashed He looked at himself for a moment, as if he was the only one.
Shen Linjie lowered his head and took a bite of the fish.
Jian Xingcan said softly, "Is it delicious?"
Shen Linji nodded lightly.
Jian Xingcan showed a smile: "I knew that the fish grilled by senior brother is the best."
Shen Linji glanced at his happy smile, and said in a low voice, "So delicious?"
"Yeah!" Jian Xingcan counted her fingers and said, "It's the best fish I've ever eaten. It's better than those delicacies. In fact, I've always missed this taste. Now I finally have it. It's really delicious. I will never get tired of eating it in my life."
He said this with a smile.
Shen Linjie looked at his smile, and what he saw through this smile was more of the helpless figure of the most lively person left behind in those hundred years of solitude. .
Shen Linjie stretched out his hand, wiped off the ashes on his cheeks, and said in a low voice, "As long as you want to eat, I'll roast it for you."
Jian Xingcan asked, "Really?"
Shen Linjie nodded.
Jian Xingcan said hesitantly: "Then, if the brother gets married in the future, will he also grill fish for me?"
What Shen Ye said back then, although it was unintentional, still left a deep imprint on Jian Xingcan. Although Shen Ye didn't say it, he never forgot it.
Shen Linjie said, "Yes, I will."
Because I will only marry you.
But Jian Xingcan smiled happily, his eyes were full of smiles, he was a bit more beautiful than the sky full of stars, and his voice was clear and sweet: "Then I will eat the fish grilled by my senior brother for a lifetime!"
Shen Linji teased him and said, "Don't you eat anything else?"
Jian Xingcan said without hesitation: "I just eat fish, because our cats are born to live by eating fish!"
This is the first time, he said this after being reborn.
Jian Xingcan was also stunned, he held the fish, the smile on his face froze, then slowly lowered his head, took a small bite of the fish, and didn't speak any more.
Shen Linjie sat beside him.
The house of the two people is on a relatively high place. From here, you can see other houses in the village, some of which are emitting smoke, and some of which are still lit with warm yellow lights. The surroundings are very quiet, only when the wind blows across the grass. Bring a little bit of coolness in late autumn.
Shen Linjie spoke in a low voice. This was the first time he asked about Jian Xingcan's past: "Yuezhi, you were not on the mountain when the accident happened that day. You, but the disciples are still on the mountain."
Jian Xingcan's eyes suddenly turned red.
He knew that his father and mother's cultivation was also very high. It's not that they couldn't escape the fire on the mountain, but the disciples were still there and they couldn't leave. The disciples on the mountain were all fresh lives. Father He and his mother are their masters, and they treat every disciple as their own children.
"Master and master guessed that your identity might be revealed when you rescued that child, so they found a reason in advance to send you outside the mountain." Shen Linji said, "They want to protect you."
Jian Xingcan whispered, humming: "I know..."
"I know you are for me." Jian Xingcan's voice was soft: "Mother and father, sister and brother, you are all for me, you treat me well and protect me since childhood, even at that time I want to send me away too, but I am a monster, if not for me, Qiwu Mountain would not be destroyed at all, the villagers are right, I am an ominous evil, if the person who died in the first place was me..."
"Yue Zhi." Shen Linji's voice interrupted him, and he called his name: "Do you really think so?"
Jian Xingcan slowly looked up at him, her eyes were red.
Shen Linjie said calmly, "You are a civet, the embodiment of blessing and good luck. You have never been a monster."
Jian Xingcan pursed his lips, his nose sore, and he sat curled up on the ground without saying a word.
Shen Linji looked at him: "Back then, several sects encircled and suppressed Qiwu Mountain, not only because of you, they coveted Qiwu Mountain's spiritual veins, master and master never recruited disciples for money, most people in the world are willing to send disciples here Qi Wushan, the development of Qiwu Mountain in those few years is getting better and better, and the children of the aristocratic family are flocking to it more and more, they hold grudges in their hearts, and it is just an excuse for you."
Jian Xingcan raised her eyes suddenly, and looked at Shen Linji in disbelief.
Shen Linjie sat by the lake, the corner of his clothes was blown by the breeze: "If the world is all black, and suddenly white appears, then what do you think will happen?"
engulfs white.
Eliminate white.
Infestation, perish.
"When some disciples were caught, someone asked you where you were, and they threatened and lured them, saying that if you told your whereabouts, they would live." Shen Linji's voice was deep and cold. He looked at Jian Xingcan and asked, "Yue Zhi Although they said this, it was actually just an excuse. They were worried that our Qiwu Mountain lineage would grow stronger and even surpass them, so they must kill the grass and roots. Let me ask you, after that incident, the Qiwu Mountain lineage still exists alive?"
Jian Xingcan sat stiffly on the spot, tears streaming from his eyes, falling like broken beads, he shook his head lightly, covered his face and said with a choked voice: "When I went back, the mountain, the mountain was already burned. It was clean, not a blade of grass grew, and there was not a single living person."
Shen Linjie's eyes became dark and gloomy.
Jian Xingcan hugged himself, his whole body was shaking from crying, and his voice was so broken that he couldn't even connect: "I ran all over the mountain, and returned to the Zongmen's place, the soil there is black. No matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find you. The streams at the foot of the mountain were all red, and the water was still red after a day and a night. Many villagers at the foot of the mountain were watching, but no one helped. The group of people sealed the mountain, saying it was ominous. In this land, they arrested me and sealed me under the mountain, saying that destiny has guidance, I am a disaster, an evil god, and will cause disaster to the world."
Never forget the flames and smoke that day.
The whole mountain was burning. The fire lasted for several days and nights, and the river was flowing with dark red water, and the smell of blood was everywhere. At the foot of the mountain, he cried and begged the villagers to help put out the fire, and begged them to save him. Brother, no one to help.
He cried, to no avail.
His tears were already running dry.
"I hate it so much." Jian Xingcan said softly: "I really hate it. My brother taught me before that we should help those in need and not hurt others. I rescued that child from falling off a cliff. When something happened to you, I also begged them not to hurt you, but they just didn't agree, and that's right, they said that I was a monster who was born to harm the common people, so they didn't help me."
Shen Linjie's voice was as deep as ink: "What did you do, go beyond it."
Jian Xingcan paused, his face was covered with tears, and the moonlight fell on him, but he lowered his head and laughed softly: "I killed them."
Shen Linjie's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Who are they?"
The child in the white shirt in front of him used to be a little cowardly cat who didn't even dare to kill a chicken when he was practicing kung fu, and would cry and act coquettishly in pain when bumping into each other.
"Everyone from the Eight Great Sects." Jian Xingcan's voice was calm, and he looked up at him, like a child asking for credit, his eyes were pure and pure: "Not one was left."
The Qiwushan Incident is known all over the world.
None of the sect disciples who went to collect the demons returned. The fire in Mount Qiwu burned for several days and nights. The nine-tailed civet was so powerful that it even became a demon. The eight sects were almost exterminated. He provoked the punishment of heaven, and finally used all the power of the world to suppress him under the big formation, and imprison him for hundreds of years, until his soul and soul were all extinguished, he was not allowed to leave the formation.
