Chapter 62 Broken Mirror (8)
byChapter 62 Broken Mirror (8)
Instantly, heat spread from his cheeks to his ears, as if the resurgence of alcohol was exploding fireworks in his brain.The bronze bell under the eaves jingled incessantly.
The breath is filled with the scent of apricot blossoms, dewdrops, and leaves.
In the spring breeze, new buds are beginning to sprout on the branches.
In my heart, something seemed to be sprouting quietly.
The beginning of all things.
What is Yanqing?In the library of Dengxian Pavilion, he rummaged through ancient books and asked many famous teachers, and finally got an answer: no ghost can coexist with people in the world, and the only evil thing that can exist in your body is nightmare.
If Yanqing is a nightmare, then he is a demon.Once the identity of the demon species is discovered, he will definitely die.
In fact, he had wanted to kill Yan Qing since he was five years old.
He hates losing control, hates having his body taken over, hates having people nagging in his ears, and hates having his own unworthiness seen.
Most importantly, he hates everything related to demons.
...Killing Yan Qing is like killing that old man.
Three years after Jinghong, in the backyard of Xie's mansion, he was rescued by an old man in the heavy snow falling all over the sky.The old man said he was his mother's old friend.His mother's beauty has died, and now it's up to him to take care of him.The old man was wearing a black robe, his hair was disheveled, his cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, and his eyes were bulging.The pupils are a little smaller than ordinary people, and at first glance they look very intimidating, just like the hideous and terrifying ghosts in fantasy novels.
He didn't want to get close to the old man.Even though the old man saved him, even gave him food every day, and treated him with greetings, all his tenderness didn't seem to be fake.Seeing his indifference, the old man became more and more dissatisfied, and muttered: "You little kid, you are really heartless. I saved you, old man, and why don't you pay any attention to me?" His brows and eyes were filled with the smugness of claiming to be his savior.: "Child, I stayed with you because I felt pity for you. Your mother is dead and your father doesn't love you. You starve to death alone in the cold weather. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, out of me, you would have died long ago, yourI gave you your life, so it’s okay if you don’t get close to me, why are you acting like you have a grudge against me, the old man?”
He quietly held a steamed bun and ate it in the snow, ignoring him.

It started raining suddenly in Zhancheng when he was four years old, and it was blue-grey and non-stop.The old man opened the window and saw the first rain, and he hummed and laughed strangely for a long time.
The first time Xie Shiyi took off his guard against the old man was when he discovered that the old man was eating human flesh.
Lightning snakes rolled and thunder rolled, and blood mixed with the rain flowed out of the house.The old man was hunched over and had green eyes. He dragged a recently deceased person from nowhere, biting the thigh meat in his mouth and chewing it with relish.
Xie Shiyi's first reaction was not to turn around and vomit, but that a stone finally slowly fell in his heart.
...Sure enough.
The old man was stunned when he discovered that he was a demon. He was so frightened that he could hardly hold the bones in his hands.But soon, the green eyes looked at him with a sinister look, and then continued to hum and eat human flesh.After eating, he fell down and fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day and saw the situation in front of him, the old man suddenly let out a sharp scream.His face turned pale and his whole body was shaking. He huddled himself in a corner and murmured like a ghost: "It's out again, it's out again..." The old man clutched his arm tightly, tears streaming from his weird eyes.Big drops fell: "Shiyi, you saw it too, right? It came out again."
The old man said that there is a monster living in his body, which often appears out of control. If his eyes turn green, then the monster has come out.
He was so scared and panicked that he broke down and cried in front of a four-year-old child.
Xie Shiyi stood not far from him, holding a sharp stone tightly in his hand hidden in his sleeve, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
The old man allowed himself to collapse in despair for a long time. After a long time, he went to clean up the remaining corpses like a zombie. His eyes were dull and his lips were trembling. He was vomiting while cleaning up.That night, the old man spoke to him for a long time, his eyes softened in the candlelight and snow, and he said softly: "Don't be afraid, Shiyi, even if I turn into a monster, I won't hurt you."
The old man did this.
At a certain hunting banquet held by the five families in the barrier city, the old man followed him as his personal servant.In the woods, the old man's eyes suddenly turned green, and the monster came out again.The old man was ferocious and evil. He killed many people with a knife, and the hunting feast turned into a bloody hell. He fell to the ground, gritted his teeth, and watched the old man slowly approach with a bloody knife.
The old man's bloody face was still full of madness, and when his eyes fell on him, distortion and struggle appeared in his green eyes again.It seems like reluctance, like pain, like hesitation.
The old man's arm was raised uncontrollably and fell towards him——
At the last moment, the knife changed direction again and struck the old man on his shoulder.
The old man groaned, and the green light slowly dissipated. He raised his head and his eyes were full of gentleness, and gave him a comforting smile, which seemed to say silently, "Don't be afraid."
Something goes wrong at the hunting banquet of the five families in Zhancheng. The eldest son of the Bai family dies, and the old man and he cannot escape death.He led the old man down the mountain and fell down the cliff.
There was a shallow stream at the bottom of the cliff. The side of the stream was full of sharp gravels. They, the old and the young, were all seriously injured.He was only four years old and lost the ability to move after a serious injury to his foot. The old man picked him up and took him outside regardless of the injury on his arm.
The old man said: "That's fine, let's leave Zhancheng and wander around the world."
Xie Shiyi's face turned pale because of the pain, and he asked in a very soft voice: "Why did you do that?"
The old man smiled and let out a long sigh: "Oh, there is no reason. Although I saved you because of your mother, after a year of getting along with you, I really regard you as my grandson. After all,Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect……"
Xie Shiyi slowly took out the sharp stone that he had been pinching from his sleeve, and said in a calm tone: "Are you a demon?"
The old man said bitterly: "Oh...I am. Haven't you seen it all?"
Xie Shiyi said: "Is the monster in your body a nightmare?"
The old man was obviously resistant and afraid of this problem. His body trembled, and then he said seriously: "Yes... I can stop it this time, but I don't know next time. Shiyi, if one day, my eyesWhen it turns green, you just run away, you know?”
Xie Shiyi leaned on his shoulder and suddenly smiled softly.The sharp stone in his hand was raised high, and with all his strength, he slashed the old man's throat coldly and mercilessly with a back gesture.
There was a sneer.
The old man was completely frozen in place.
Blood spurted out, splashing on the cliff, on the dead branches, and on Xie Shiyi's eyelashes.
Xie Shiyi jumped off his back,
The old man's throat was slit, and he couldn't vent his anger. He could only turn around in the dark, his eyes splitting, as if he was questioning him - Xie Shiyi, why?
Xie Shiyi got up from the ground, panted slightly and said, "...I saw it when you saved me three years ago. At that time, your eyes were green."
The old man was stiff all over.
Xie Shiyi raised his head, his eyes were like daggers piercing the long night, and his breath was unsteady, but he still spoke quietly, word by word.
"There is no loss of control, no curse. The monster in your body has always been yourself."
Everything was silent.
I don't know how long the silence lasted. The old man stopped talking. He rolled his eyes in the darkness, and finally laughed strangely. The wound on his neck healed automatically, tearing away all disguises. A faint green light oozed from his eyes, and he said hoarsely.: "Liu Lixin, who I have coveted for so long, is indeed well-deserved. I originally wanted to spend some time to make you willing to show off my hard work, but forget it now."
The old man stretched out his five fingers, a kind of pressure from a monk that could not possibly belong to the human world, forcing Xie Shiyi to stagger back.
Xie Shiyi held the sharp stone tightly in his hand, closed his eyes, and counted one, two, three... When he counted to four, someone shouted: "Here?"
The old man was stunned.
Xie Shiyi took advantage of this moment, rushed over, and pierced the old man's eyeball with the stone in his hand.

The old man whined and fell back. He came to the world to escape.After escaping the pursuit of the Qin family, his body was broken and his spiritual power was scattered.Meeting Xie Shiyi was a complete surprise.Who would have thought that the child secretly given birth to by Zijinzhou sinner Wei Shengzhuang would be Liuli Xin after escaping to the human world.Glazed Heart, Glazed Heart, there is nothing in the world that is more tonic than it.
The old man was about to say something else, but his eyeballs suddenly hurt.
"Little bastard!" he yelled in horror.
Xie Shiyi took a deep breath, took the stone in his hand, and pierced his throat heavily again.He couldn't kill that demon... The one who killed the old man in the end was actually a guest of the Bai family.
He lost too much blood and was confused, unable to see what the guest looked like.All he knew was that when he woke up, he would be locked in a cage with a group of people.Although the tragedy of the hunting banquet was caused by demons causing trouble, until the truth is revealed, they are all suspicious people.
Hungry, thirsty, sleepy and tired, Xie Shiyi held the stone tightly in his hand. The sharp edge broke the skin, and the sharp pain prevented him from falling asleep.After all, once you fall asleep, you may never wake up again.
While half asleep and half awake, he thought of many things, including the moment of hope and grievance he felt when a pair of old hands gently caressed his head in the ice and snow.For more than three hundred days a year, the old man mended his clothes, found food for him, and prevented him from being bullied.
But, fake.
all fake.
Rather than saying that the old man is a demon parasitized by the Nightmare, it is better to say that his "real person" has died long ago, and what now occupies his body is the Nightmare itself.
Nightmare is cunning, hypocritical, and can confuse people's hearts.
Fortunately, he saw those green eyes when Feng Xue first met.He was always awake and never lost.Fortunately.
At this time, someone who was hungry and thirsty handed over a bowl of porridge and said, "Why are they locked up here? They are going to starve to death."
I couldn't hear whose voice it was, but something happened behind me, and the noise surged like a tidal wave.
"Young master, be careful!"
"Ah, it hurts!"
"The young master is bleeding, hurry up, hurry up, take the young master down to bandage him!"
"Woooooooooooo, why did you make the edge of the cage so sharp?" The voice was soft and soft, like a coquettish one.
Later, someone pulled his hair and forced him to wake up, and someone handed him a bowl of porridge.
The porridge was thin and thick, with a few drops of blood on it.
"Eat quickly! Don't starve to death!"
That old man was his nightmare throughout his childhood.The scene of the old man sitting on the corpse with green eyes and a mouth full of blood on a thundery and rainy night could never get out of his mind.
Nightmare is a curse from the devil, an evil thing separated from humans.
Therefore, he could only guess and figure out the nightmare's false feelings and intentions carefully, carefully, and more carefully.
You see, when I cut off my arm and looked at him in the hunting forest, even the painful struggle was so real.
At the end of the road to spring water and peach blossoms, he was rescued by Le Zhan.The immortal, elegant and easy-going immortal told him that if he went to the upper heaven, he could go to Wangqing Sect to find him.The immortal who saved him also said: He was born with a glass heart and was very suitable for cultivating the path of ruthlessness.
He refused both of these things.
Liulixin, Liulixin again.Xie Shiyi has never liked such ethereal things, so he doesn't like Yan Qing.Regardless of whether Yan Qing was a nightmare or not, he had ten thousand reasons to kill him.
Since his birth, he has been living in the wind and snow. His heart has long been solidified by the ice and snow, and thorns and poisonous vines have entangled him into a wall.
The old man spent a year teaching him never to believe in evil things.
All the things about demons in the world, one by one, each one, each one, all told him how insidious and vicious the nightmare was.
But.
When he was five years old, on a midsummer night on the rooftop, an absurd thought flashed through his mind: Maybe I can trust him.
Trust Him, listen to His guidance, and allow His approach.
Later, I thought even more absurdly: Maybe Yan Qing really has no ill intentions towards me.
Until the night when he graduated from the Immortal Pavilion, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He was obsessed with recalling the cool touch on his lips at that time.
A little bit of clues, let every little detail after that, turn into fire one after another, and begin to burn the sanity.
The heart is like glass.
Did he really not hear, notice, or suspect anything?
He heard the bells on the eaves trembling wildly in the wind, and his heartbeat was as deafening as the chirping of cicadas.
He noticed Yan Qing's trembling fingertips in the darkness, panic like a butterfly caught in a spider's web.
The red candles were tied through the knot, and the wedding dress was like blood. He wondered if the reason for his insomnia had something to do with him.
Will...
real……
Could it be...
Then, those tiny, incomplete and absurd thoughts were all shattered into powder in thirty-five years.
The moment he fell into the sea, the Lihun Pearl shattered... Even though he was dying, he still retained his reason and wanted to open his eyes to see his true appearance.But this time, at the bottom of the deep sea, he met a pair of green eyes.The stream of light is brighter than all the treasures in the world.
What followed was a hand grabbing his neck.
