I'm Really Just an Ordinary Person

During the past three days, Qin Xi has been quiet, not saying a single unnecessary word.Sometimes Xuan Ye pestered him so hard that he could barely answer a question like whether he was hungry, thirsty, thirsty, or sleepy.He seems to be completely immersed in the old things, has not slowed down, and seems to be slowly sorting out the old things that he didn't personally participate in, recalling the one in his memory who always took him crazy, but taught him a lot Man of many things.

Being brought to the altar again by Xuan Ye, the silence became even more serious, completely treating Xuan Ye as if he didn't exist, and sitting alone by the altar in a daze.

Xuan Ye no longer tried to disturb him, and sat beside him silently, quietly waiting for him to get out of this period of obsession.

He understood Qin Xi's sadness.

Demons are also sentient.After living for nearly ten thousand years, he has met too many people, monsters and even gods, almost every one of them is a passer-by in his life.Most of the human beings in the world may make him feel bored, but there are always a few that will make him move his mind for sincere friendship.It has nothing to do with love, just pure appreciation, as a friend.

The lifespan of a person has been a hundred years. When Xuan Ye became friends with those people, even if the other party knew his real body, he would not change, but he always faced their departure and death soon.Repeatedly, this kind of sadness has become a habit, and gradually evolved into indifference and numbness. In the end, Xuan Ye rationally chose to keep a distance from all short-lived lives, and no longer easily get acquainted with each other.

Qin Xi is different.Even if Qin Xi only has a lifespan of a hundred years, Xuan Ye will search all over the world for him, find a way to prolong his life and let him stay by his side forever.

Once he became such an existence, or was such an existence himself, Qin Xi would inevitably face such sadness more than once.Sooner or later, you have to stand the test and get used to it.

This is Xuan Ye's greatest selfishness, and sooner or later he will confess it to Qin Xi.Before that, he hoped that Qin Xi could persevere by himself.

To his surprise, Qin Xi didn't stay so sad all the time.From the silence at the beginning, it gradually turned into contemplation, even with a little nostalgia and a smile.

"I always thought that the old Taoist liked to brag, and he always boasted that there is nothing in the sky. But now that the merit tower is here, I am afraid that I will fall asleep if he arrives, and I will come here sooner or later. That's it. I don’t know if he will guess it, but it’s been a thousand years since I came here, and the past has long since ceased to exist.” Qin Xi’s eyes were filled with tears, but his tone was smiling, slowly, as if joking. explain.

Xuan Ye chuckled: "The disciples of the Futu Sect are always somewhat mysterious, and it might not all be rumors."

"But what is the purpose of leaving the merit tower here? Could it be that he just told me that he was about to die that year and passed away peacefully?" Qin Xi frowned in confusion: "I always feel... that the merit tower was left behind by the old Taoist priest. It has been enshrined here for thousands of years, and it has something to do with me."

"Otherwise... take it away?" Xuan Ye suggested.

From the very beginning, Qin Xi had never touched the Gongde Pagoda, but since he entered the village, he always felt that it was closely related to him.This involvement will never be caused by inexplicable past events, it is probably because the Gongde Pagoda has some kind of connection with Qin Xi.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Xi shook his head: "The merit tower contains the merits accumulated by generations of disciples of the Futu Sect, and I have also learned the Futu Sect's kung fu, so maybe if I touch it, it will break the seal and cause some trouble. Since we don’t have a clue yet, why don’t we just let it stay here until we find out the answer. This way... it will also save these villagers from being threatened and persecuted.”

After all, the merit pagoda is already a treasure that is hard to find in the world, and there are countless meritorious powers inside. Once the seal is opened, it will definitely be coveted.Even if he is taken away by Qin Xi, the villagers here will inevitably be implicated.Xuan Ye patted him and said, "As long as you think it's good."

Qin Xi smiled at him, then stood up and patted his clothes, looked at the merit pagoda and said: "The old Taoist priest has never done anything bad in his life, the most outrageous thing is to drink flower wine, and even to drink flower wine is only in the building He drank a few drinks and left without seeing those girls. With such a duty, and the blessing of the patriarch's palace, he thinks he can give birth to a good pregnancy of wealth and safety, right?"

"The way of heaven is always kind to people, especially those who are kind." Xuan Ye said good things about the way of heaven for the first time, and he didn't even want the bottom line to comfort Qin Xi: "He will be rich and safe, and maybe he will meet you again."

"That's good." Qin Xi replied in a low voice, took a last look at the merit tower, jumped off the altar and waved to Xuan Ye: "Let's go! We have to go back!"

The boy stood under the sun, his smile was not cloudy, and there seemed to be something more.

Xuan Ye lowered his eyes and looked at him from top to bottom, vaguely feeling that something had changed in Qin Xi.

This idea is not strong, but it pops up from time to time, disturbing him so much that he can't calm down and think about other things.

When the two left without alarming the villagers, the prepared car was parked on the dirt road at the mouth of Heziwan. An hour later, the two drove out of the area of ​​Heziwan.

While driving the car, Xuan Ye thought of that inexplicable thought from time to time, and looked at Qin Xi every so often, so Qin Xi couldn't help but notice it frequently.

"What's the matter?" He looked as if he had completely come out of the previous things, his expression was relaxed and natural, without any depression or sadness.

"You..." Xuan Ye paused and said, "Did you remember something?"

Qin Xi was a little surprised: "How do you say?"

Xuan Ye looked ahead and said, "It looks a little different."

In fact, it is not so much that Qin Xi looks like he is recovering his memory, it is better to say that he seems to be recovering his feelings.Some memories about Jing Chao had faint traces before. Qin Xi also mentioned the old Taoist priest to Xuan Ye, but at that time his mood was very stable, and when he told it, he seemed to be telling a story he had heard.But this time when I came to Qicun, I touched the matter about the old Taoist again, but my emotions were very clear, and I was even a little gloomy all the time.

It was as if... the feelings that had been sealed away due to deep sleep began to slowly wake up and become alive as the memory gathered.

"It's true... I remembered everything." Qin Xi rested his chin and looked out the window: "I didn't remember anything when the old Taoist priest picked me up, and I was only eleven or twelve years old when I left the Po Tao Temple. , only the memory of those ten years, nothing special.” After thinking for a while, he added: “It’s just that… after seeing the merit tower, those memories became real, and it’s no longer like the previous sporadic memories. But it doesn’t look real.”

Xuan Ye nodded, and asked after a while: "Have you remembered everything? Then you are indeed a disciple of the Futu Sect? What about Qingxi Sword?"

Qin Xi was taken aback by his question, and after a long pause, he said, "It seems that there are no such things?"

He scratched his head, a little distressed: "It seems a bit strange for you to say that. I am sure that I have fully recalled the memory of Jing Chao before I fell asleep, but there is no such thing as Qingxi Sword... But Qingxi Sword is indeed It was indeed given to me by someone..."

"About you sleeping for many years, how much do you remember?" Xuan Ye glanced at him and continued to drive.

"I don't have any impressions...but my deep sleep seems to have nothing to do with Futumen." Qin Xi himself was also confused, puffed up and said with a sad face: "Why do you think... the recovery of this memory is worthless..."

Xuan Ye was amused by his sudden self-pity, rubbed him with his hands free, and said with a smile: "Not necessarily. Since you remembered the old Taoist priest, do you still remember the Futu Gate?"

"Futu Gate..." Qin Xi sighed and said quietly, "Even as long as I can remember, the old Taoist priests began to teach me the art of mind and Taoism. It was learned by successive disciples of the Futu Sect, and he put his brains on it for me to learn. Except for divination and fortune-telling, I was good at other things, so I was kicked out by him to travel when I was only 11 years old. But he But he didn’t recognize me as an apprentice, and he didn’t let me join the Futu Sect. At first, I thought he didn’t like me, so he didn’t want to accept me as an apprentice.”

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with you, so why don't you want to accept you as an apprentice?" Xuan Ye also didn't understand.Although the Futu Sect was chattering, they still attached great importance to their disciples.Logically speaking, with Qin Xi's talent, it shouldn't be hard to keep people from entering the school.Even if people were not allowed to enter Futu Gate, Jing Chao Shidao had already set up a gate, and it would not be difficult to worship inside.

Qin Xi shook his head with a puffy face: "I don't know. The old Taoist told me that since the founding of the Patriarch of Futumen, it was just to wait for someone. The disciples of all generations have accumulated merits and virtues to help the world, just waiting for that person to appear, and then Use these merits to help that person become a big hit. He said I can't join here, but he didn't tell me the reason."

Xuan Ye laughed: "What a big ticket... Is their Futu Gate a den of bandits? Hey, tell me, could you be the one they were waiting for? This merit pagoda has a feeling for you, but the old Taoist priests gave it all their money. And I don’t accept you as a disciple, maybe it’s just to wait for you to take the merits accumulated by the Futu Sect and do something... to be a big ticket?"

Qin Xi stared at him with wide eyes: "What can I do? I've been asleep for a thousand years, and it's already the present when I wake up. Even if I want to do something in a peaceful and prosperous world, I can't go back in time and go back and do it again, right?"

"It makes sense." Xuan Ye shook his head: "Forget it, since I don't accept you as a disciple, it makes sense to think about it. Now that the merit pagoda is still there, what the old Taoist saved was not a group of ungrateful people, and it can be regarded as a consummation .As for the rest, we will talk about it later.”

Qin Xi suddenly became elated: "The old Taoist must not count that I have slept for thousands of years, and brought a beast to see him. It's a pity that I can't find his burial place, otherwise I will definitely take you Let's go to worship together so that he will be frightened."

Xuan Ye rubbed his chin and nodded: "You reminded me, I will ask someone from the Taoist school to look for it later, maybe I can find it. At that time, the two of us will go to worship together. No matter how you say it, you will be brought up Big senior, you must not lose the courtesy you should have."

Seeing that he spoke in a serious manner, Qin Xi was stunned: "Are you serious? If you go to worship him with the majestic beasts from all over the world, if you don't go to reincarnate, the old Taoist will not have to cheat the corpse?"

Xuan Ye broke his power in an instant.

The author has something to say:

Xuan Ye: Seniors, I worship the southern mythical beast Suzaku.

Old Taoist: I can't bear it, I can't bear it, you are the boss, you are the boss!
