MTL - Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits-Chapter 199 Cause and effect
"So ... I know, Nianju is a terrible four-dimensional creature, but what does this have to do with the topic we just discussed?" I wondered. ? August 1 Chinese text W? W? W. 81ZW. Com
"My friend made it very clear in the letter. The priest who sealed me a long time ago was not dead." Wen Jiubai sat down beside the bed. "I don't know how he lived till now, but I always believe that The judgment of a friend. According to Thaksin, the Taoist priest still resents me, and wants to kill me soon, but if he is really united with the beast, then I must be dead. No doubt. "
"If the beast of the year is really as powerful as you said, can the Taoist priests control it?" I said in surprise. "Who is that Taoist sacred?"
Wen Jiubai glanced at me, avoiding the problem, and shifted the topic: "This problem is not important. What is important is that once the beast is on you, you have nowhere to run. Because the beast is not in the material world. The aimless search in it is to find prey in the spiritual world through dreams. And I have no other choice but to lead it to the future. "
"Leading to the future?"
"No one can escape from the search of Nianbei, and I am no exception." Wen Jiubai said in a deep voice. "But Nianbei still has a weakness, that is, it cannot tell the difference between time. In other words, it does not know to kill itself. It is me who is dead, or me in the future. "
From Wen Jiubai's words, I gradually began to understand the cause and effect of things.
"So, in order to escape the pursuit of Nianju, let me have a dream that connects the future, so Nianju and your enemies will run to the future I dream of ..."
Wen Jiubai nodded his head and applauded: "Yes, it is indeed my Gu Xiaoyu, my brain is turning fast."
"Gu Xiaoyu, you big-headed ghost." I said angrily, "You just use me like a gun? Why don't you dream incense yourself?"
"I can't cross my timeline." Wen Jiubai said solemnly.
"You read too much science fiction! Ghosts believe it!"
Wen Jiubai took my fist in the past and said with a smile, "Sorry, I will definitely discuss it with you next time."
"Is there another time?" I was furious, but couldn't help Wen Jiubai.
"Well, don't make a kid's temper. Drink the porridge, it will be cold in a while." Wen Jiubai didn't take it seriously, took the bowl of white porridge to me.
I fetched the porridge helplessly, sipped it with a spoonful of silence, and Wen Jiubai looked at me so quietly, without a word.
"So the future I see ... Are you really going to die?" I put down the empty bowl and cleared my throat.
"You've seen it." Wen Jiubai sighed. "So, yes, I will. Someday in the future."
"But you tell me-you tell me in the future that the future can be changed and time can be rewritten!" I eagerly said, "Can't you think of any way?"
"The future can be changed, but there is only the future that is not seen." Wen Jiubai said calmly, "Once the future is snooped, time is fixed to a fixed point, and the future becomes history. It is an established fact. You have seen I'm dead, then it's bound to happen. "
I was stunned. "But ..."
"Take it as a mistake I made rashly, forget it." Wen Jiubai stood up and shook his head. "I'll wash the bowl."
"Ah, Wen Jiubai!" I straightened up and tried to shout at him, but Wen Jiubai walked out of the room without turning his head.
After he left the room, he never returned. At about seven o'clock in the evening, Su Xiaoyi and Shi Yitong came to the old house to visit me. They didn't know anything, with unsuspecting smiles on their faces, joking with each other.
"So Gu Yu, are you better?" Su Xiaozhen looked at me with concern.
My consciousness was still free, and I didn't respond for a moment. "Sorry, what's wrong?"
"Wen Jiubai said you burned, are you okay?" Su Xiaozheng's expression became more concerned, and he took a touch of sympathy, "Aren't you burning stupid?"
"It was stupid enough, and it was troublesome as soon as it was burned to the mental retardation." Shi Yitong interjected.
"That said."
I can't help crying and laughing, only at this time can these two people be so foe to the enemy. I patted Su Xiaoying's hand that wanted to touch my head, and shook his head, "The burnt has long since retreated. I'm fine, rest assured. What about you?"
"We? What else can we do? Just rest assured that you can come to see you after school." Shi Yitong said dissatisfied, "In the end you are not alive or dead? Nothing hurts us. "
"Yes, Gu Yu, this is the note of your missing class." Su Xiaomin also remembered something, and took out a notebook from his backpack. Ask for a vacation. Fortunately, I asked a question specifically to help you get a vacation. "
I took the note with embarrassment, "Sorry, it bothers you so much."
"Hum, just know. Remember to make time to fill up your notes." Su Xiaoyi said with arms folded.
I opened the book that Su Xiaoyi had just handed it to me, and it was full of notes, which made my head big.
I do n’t know if Shi Yitong saw my distress, came over and patted me on the shoulder, "Do n’t listen to her, it ’s not the same time to take notes. You should n’t have dinner yet? Go, let ’s go to the back door for dumpling go with."
Shi Yitong mentioned it so much that I felt like I hadn't eaten anything except the bowl of porridge that Wen Jiubai gave me today, and my stomach was rumbling.
"Okay, let's go eat." I readily agreed.
"Let's go!" Shi Yitong immediately pulled up my hand and ran out. "I didn't eat much at lunch. Now I'm almost hungry!"
"Hey, you two!" Su Xiaoyue said angrily at the back, "how do you two know how to eat and can't make ends meet!"
"People take food as their God, do you understand?" Shi Yitong turned back and made a face at Su Xiaoyu as he ran.
I could not help but smile when I saw the two of them jesting each other.
Just as we were about to walk out of the courtyard gate, Bai suddenly got out of which corner and saw that we went out with a companion.
"Gu Yu, are you going back?" Bai asked.
"Ah ... almost, go to dinner. Then I probably have a bunch of homework left to make up." I smiled bitterly.
"But Wen Jiubai—" Bai seemed to blurt out, and swallowed the words again and again, "Uh, it's okay. You go, have fun."
"What? What happened to Wen Jiubai?" I asked.
"It's okay, he's fine. You can eat."
I opened my mouth and wanted to ask another question, but Shi Yitong on the side pulled my arm again.
"Let's go, Gu Yu, there is something to talk about tomorrow. Now let's go to dinner first!"
I was helpless, but I couldn't help but be enthusiastic about the food, Shi Yitong, so half-push and walked out the door of the old house.
Looking back, the old house has been drowned in the dark night, like all the bland old houses, quietly located there.
Nine-tailed fox.
White fox nine tail on the hill of the green hills.
The neutral pen turned around at the fingertips, and finally fell carefully. The pen outlines on the paper. Starting from the head, the nine-tailed fox's vicious face, sharp canine teeth, sharp claws, slender body, and the nine tails behind it symbolize power and evil.
I put my cheeks in one hand and paint on the title page of the textbook. My level of painting is actually not good, but somehow, the look of the nine-tailed fox statue is deeply engraved in my mind and lingering.
After drawing the shape of the nine-tailed fox, the pen tip was paused, and a stroke was added in front of the nine-tailed fox to draw a woman in a white dress.
Yes, this woman. The text recorded on the wall said that she was the princess of Qingqiu Kingdom, but her father regarded it as a sacrifice for the nine-tailed fox.
But Wen Jiubao never mentioned to me the existence of this woman from beginning to end. This can't help but arouse my curiosity, somehow, my subconscious told me that this woman is not ordinary.
What story is there on her?
The nib moved from the woman back to the nine-tailed fox. I stared at the swinging big tail of the nine-tailed fox and couldn't help holding it.
In the dream, what Wen Jiubai told me in the future is still in my ears.
— "Nine-tailed fox kills, eats, and women and children do not let go. Blood can stain a hill every day."
--"why?"
— "Like I said, because it's boring."
The ruthless words made me feel a chill in my heart, but most ruthlessly, deep in my heart, I don't care about myself now.
From the first day I knew this man, I knew he was dangerous. But instead of staying away from him, I got closer to him.
When I think of Wen Jiubai's confession of crimes to me, my heart is not angry, at most there is only a trace of sadness, maybe to those innocent people who have sacrificed, or maybe to myself.
There are always too many secrets in Wen Jiubai's body. Even if I spend my whole life, I can't find out the truth. But in a dream, I knew for the first time that even him was not invincible.
What about the demon fox nine tails? He is still a living person, crying and laughing, sadness and joy, love and hate. He will be hurt and sad. But maybe because he lived too long, he learned to disguise himself from head to toe.
He was not indifferent, just because he was afraid of injury, so he learned to add a layer of camouflage to his smile.
