MTL - Boneless Incense-Chapter 76
Chapter 76
Chapter 73
On the day of Li Yueyi's birthday party, Jiang Xiaosi was working with Shen Mo in other places and couldn't get away. Originally, Jiang Xiaosi wanted to call Li Yueyi to wish him well, but Shen Mo pushed everything away and brought her back. .
"It's hard for you to become a human. You must have your own life. You can't keep pace with my life. If you continue like this, you will become my shadow sooner or later." This is what Shen Mo is most worried about. Jiang Xiaosi is always close at hand. Follow him, he doesn't care if he has private space, he likes being with her. But Jiang Xiaosi must have his own life, not just be his accessory.
Jiang Xiaosi curled her lips, she is actually already the shadow of Shen Mo. Although most of the time the two of them appear at the same time, they still basically follow Shen Mo's main line of life. She reads and watches TV while he is reading, and she also helps when he works.
Shen Mo hoped that she would live a normal life and be able to work and make friends normally, but after all, Shen Mo couldn't see her, so even if she wanted to live with her as the center, it would be too inconvenient. Even when I went shopping with her, I was at a loss, because I didn't know which store she was interested in or which store she wanted to enter. It is easy for a shadow to follow a person, but how does a person follow a shadow?
Li Yueyi is in college, and she has been in a stable relationship with Shao Bing for many years. The birthday party was in a bar and there were a lot of people going. Jiang Xiaosi found that he had basically not made any friends in these years, and Shen Mo's friends were her friends. I seldom come into contact with non-human beings anymore, because they are all afraid of Shen Mo.
Shen Mo hides beside Jiang Xiaosi, he doesn't want Jiang Xiaosi to leave such an impression on his friends that no matter where he goes, there will be an uncle following him. But he couldn't see her, so he could only keep texting her, and judging where she was and what she was talking about from other people talking to her.
He didn't know what Jiang Xiaosi looked like now, but he saw that boys kept coming up to chat with her, and even boldly confessed or flirted directly, so he guessed that she should be very beautiful and popular.
He disappeared in the crowd, but the laughter and laughter around him had nothing to do with him. This feeling is really scary. Do I want Jiang Xiaosi to be trapped in this state for the rest of his life, getting farther and farther away from the originally rich and colorful life? Follow your boring three-point line every day?
Some asked Jiang Xiaosi for a phone number, some asked her to dance. He didn't know why Jiang Xiaosi refused, and everyone left with a look of regret. He was jealous in his heart, and hoped that she could integrate into the group she should belong to.
—Shen Mo, I'm going to the bathroom.
Shen Mo looked at the text message, feeling sad again. Now she doesn't even have the freedom to go to the bathroom, she has to tell him everything first, and he will take her to do it.
Shen Mo went to the bathroom and waited outside the door until the text message rang.
-I `m coming out.
Rejoin the crowd. He knew that Jiang Xiaosi sat in one place almost all night, not moving much. Maybe she saw some friends she knew in the past and wanted to go up to say hello, but because he didn't know, she couldn't leave him ten meters away.
The birthday cake was cut, and he watched Li Yueyi happily blow out the candles, cut the cake with Shao Bing, and then kissed and danced sweetly amidst the booing of everyone. He knew that Jiang Xiaosi was looking at this scene just like him. Originally, she should have experienced these things too, but she could only accept the fact that the person she loved would never see her.
Shen Mo looked at the young people in the carnival around him, and felt that he was so out of place, maybe he was really old, but Jiang Xiaosi couldn't just waste his life with him and grow old like this.
She can't leave herself because she loves herself deeply. If she doesn't love herself anymore, will she be able to break free from the shackles of Su Guxiang?
SMS rings.
—Shen Mo, that's too bad. Yu Chen called to say that Miao Yan and Master Yixiu had fought, and now Baili Street was in chaos.
Shen Mo was shocked. In order to avoid Miao Yan's entanglement these years, Yixiu simply went to the mountains to practice hard. Miao Yan has been looking for him everywhere these years.
Shen Mo walked out and tore off the invisibility talisman so that Jiang Xiaosi could see him. The two got into a taxi and went straight to Baili Street.
Passing through the blinded brick wall used as a barrier, the small stalls on the street were turned upside down.
"Xiao Si, you are here." Yu Chen was helping to clean up the mess on the street.
"Miaoyan finished refining the Soul Recalling Pill but couldn't find Yixiu. In a fit of anger, she set fire to the Zhenye Temple and took away the purple seal. Several young monks were injured. Yixiu Furious, I came to trouble Miao Yan. The two fought on the street like a gust of wind, and now I don't know where it went."
Jiang Xiaosi thought it was not good, how could Miaoyan be so impulsive and keep provoking that great monk, does she have to be accepted by him to be reconciled?
Shen Mo closed his eyes and listened: "It's in the southwest direction, follow me."
Jiang Xiaosi and Yu Chen quickly followed him, and met Jiang Liu who was hurrying on the road.
A few people went straight to the western suburbs, and it was not difficult to find. The two of them drove past all the way, and there were signs of flying sand, rocks and broken trees everywhere. Chased all the way to Manyue Valley, which is also the place where Jiang Xiaosi drank the Tuoguxiang.
Also resting in a moon-white cassock, standing by the water. Miao Yan fell in the shallow water and seemed to be seriously injured.
Jiang Xiaosi was so frightened that his face turned pale. With Miaoyan's magic power, how could she not be able to beat Yixiu, or did she simply not bear to strike and wanted to do it?
"Miao Yan!"
"Don't come over here!" Miao Yan yelled coldly, standing up while shaking with all her strength.
"This is between me and him, don't interfere."
The waves of the lake gently lapped against the shore, and Yixiu looked at her coldly: "Monster, you are so bold, I think it is not easy for you to cultivate a golden body for thousands of years, so you don't want to show your face, you really think I am afraid of you? Hurry up and hand over the purple seal coat of arms! Follow me back to Zhenye Temple to accept the crime!"
Miao Yan held a purple seal in one hand and a bottle in the other.
"I can do whatever you want, as long as you take this Soul Recalling Pill, otherwise, I will destroy the Purple Seal!"
"you dare!"
"Look if I dare!"
The two men were at war with each other, Miaoyan looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Yixiu, you dare not take this Soul Recalling Pill, is it because you are afraid that remembering the past will shake your heart towards Buddha?"
"The future and the past are like flowers in a mirror and moon in water, so why not forget them."
"Since this is the case, what does it matter if you remember it, this Soul Recalling Pill, should you take it or not?"
Miaoyan's mana was condensed, as long as he dared to say a word no, he would immediately make the purple seal crest fly to ashes and annihilate.
Yixiu shook his head: "The coat of arms is a treasure of Buddhism, do you think you can destroy it with mere ghosts?"
"Can it be destroyed, can you try it?" Miao Yan looked at him coldly.
Yixiu naturally didn't dare to take the risk, he was silent for a long time, and then sighed softly.
"Lin Miaoyan, it happened so long ago, why should you worry about it?"
Miao Yan stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief, and staggered back two steps.
Yixiu stared at her with a calm face and eyes like the sea.
"Yes, there is no need to take any soul recalling pills. I have been a monk for nine lives, but I still have memories in every life."
"What?" Miao Yan murmured shaking her head, "But you said you don't remember!"
"I don't remember. If you don't mention what happened so long ago, I really forgot. Although I carry the memory with me, every life is nothing but sand and sea, wooden fish and Buddhist beads, bodhi and incense burner."
"No, no... You love me so much, you said you would rather die with me... I have been waiting for you in the underworld for so many years!"
Yixiu looked at her face, the vicissitudes of life, the persistent eyes that love him have not changed on that face, but he is no longer the same him as before.
"When you died in front of me, I wanted to go with you, but suddenly I saw through love and hate life and death, and became a monk. It's that simple. I have long since forgotten love and abandoned love. Don't be obsessed with it anymore."
Miao Yan couldn't believe that the truth she had been pursuing for thousands of years turned out to be like this. He just suddenly broke? Drop everything?
Tears fell down along with the purple seal in her hand and the bottle containing the Soul Remembrance Pill.
In fact, I may have guessed the truth a long time ago, but I refuse to face it. You have to listen to him say it yourself before you give up.
She staggered back a step, looked around Jiang Xiaosi, Jiang Liu, Yu Chen, Shen Mo and the others.
"I see…"
She also finally saw through that the love she had been chasing for thousands of years was really just a fantasy.
She looked at Yixiu, and said two words softly: "Take care."
Suddenly it turned into a silver light, crossed the sky, and disappeared into the night sky.
Jiang Xiaosi stayed there, Miao Yan left, she finally let go of her attachment and left. After searching for thousands of years, this is the result. It turns out that Yixiu still remembers that no matter how deep the relationship in this world is, it is said that if you don't love, you can't love.
Jiang Liu was silent, maybe this is the best result for Yixiu and Miaoyan...
Yixiu saw Miao Yan go away, standing motionless, like a stone statue frozen for thousands of years. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the corners of his clothes were all wet with water.
Shen Mo looked at him coldly, heaved a long sigh, and said via voice transmission.
"Miaoyan committed suicide and died. There was still a murder in her hand, but she didn't become a resentful soul, but got a golden body? With your wisdom root, you have cultivated for nine lives, but you still can't become a Buddha? Yixiu, it's okay if you deceive others How can you lie to me? It's rare that she is also infatuated, and you spent thousands of years to ferry her, and now we finally meet again, why bother to pretend to be so heartless?"
Yixiu closed his eyes, slowly loosened his clenched fists, bent down to pick up the purple seal coat of arms and the bottle of Soul Recalling Pill.
Shen Mo shook his head: "Life after life, you can't afford to kneel, paint the ground as a prison, and chant Buddhist scriptures. But you still can't change your nature, you still have a hot temper, just like you can't forget her no matter what, and you can't change the fact that you still love her .Being a monk is not suitable for you at all. Since she has left, you should return to vulgarity as soon as possible. One has been searching for a thousand years, and the other has been holding on for a thousand years, enough, enough."
Yixiu's eyes showed sadness: "Don't talk about me, what about you? Miaoyan and I promise to be with you in life and death, and to share joys and sorrows. But as a man, when things come to an end, he always would rather die by himself than her. I don’t want her to suffer even a bit. You can call me stupid, but I have never regretted it for thousands of years.”
Shen Mo stood there in a daze, looking around, looking for the lover who was always within ten meters of him, but he could never see him. What about their future? Is he really willing to let her continue to suffer so much for the sake of being together?
Yixiu looked at the Soul Recalling Pill in his hand, and threw it into the lake vigorously.
He doesn't need that kind of thing, because he remembers every minute and every second with Miaoyan, every word and every smile she said, and never forgets...
At this time, in the mountains in the southwest, there is a rare land of geomantic omen, the water flow is dirty, the ground vomits corpse gas, and all the plants and trees are withered. Underground, in the dark coffin, a corpse slowly opened its eyes.
"Jiang Liu! Zhao Bing..."
The horrible and weird rattling sound echoed in the small space for a long time.
