Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

"Do you think I'm a burden?"

On the bank of the river, a girl with pigtails stretched out her hand in distress and wiped the dust from the boy's face with a handkerchief.

The gray-haired and bruised boy sat on the stone, grinning like a monkey.

"What the hell?"

The boy rubbed his shoulders and pretended to have polio and asked, "What did you say?"

"I say···"

The girl lowered her head, unwillingness appearing on her childish face. She bit her lip and said softly: "In order to protect me, they caught up and beat me up. I'm sorry."

"You can change your wording next time."

Zhou Li, who was beaten as miserably as a breeding pig, put on a forced smile and said: "For example, in order to protect the disobedient little brat, I beat him twelve times without losing, and then fell off the bridge pier and suffered minor injuries. This sounds more like Sounds good.”

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who dragged you down."

The girl's head bowed even further, and she felt a little regretful. If she hadn't pestered Zhou Li to come to the bridge pier to chat with her every day, Zhou Li wouldn't have been beaten with a sack today.

"How can I not be gurgling when I often walk by the river?"

Zhou Li stretched out his hand cheerfully, rubbed the girl's head vigorously, and said with a smile: "Give me a candied egg tomorrow, and I will forgive your sins."

"Will you come again?"

After the girl heard Zhou Li's words, her eyes suddenly lit up and she raised her head, her tender cheeks full of surprise.

"You don't understand, this is called the presumptive principle."

Zhou Li shook his finger and said inscrutably: "They thought that after successfully setting up an ambush today, I would definitely not dare to repeat the same mistake the next day. But they didn't expect that I had already figured it out. Tomorrow I would rush down the bridge pier and steal some food. Your lunch box, these idiots who only think about the first level will never realize that I have reached the atmosphere."

The girl nodded confusedly. She didn't understand what Zhou Li meant by his flirtatious words, but she only knew that tomorrow, her only good friend would come here to chat and play with her.

But···
  Looking at the bruises on the other person's face, the girl couldn't help but said softly: "Forget it, they will come again."

"I don't want to... drag you down."

Lowering her head, the girl looked at her feet. Holding her knees, she curled up into a small ball and let the cold wind blow by the river.

"idiot."

Looking at the girl who was no longer speaking, Zhou Li sighed. He walked to the girl, held her soft cheeks and raised her head. Under the girl's surprised gaze, Zhou Li hit her forehead with his forehead.

"pain!!!"

The girl covered her forehead and squatted under the bridge pier. Zhou Li lay beside him as if he was resting, like a dead person.

"The kid has such a hard head."

After muttering something, Zhou Li turned his head, looked at the tearful girl, and said cheerfully: "Are you still angry?"

"I didn't lose my temper!"

The girl suddenly panicked and said quickly: "I'm afraid you will be caught by them again. If they catch me and threaten you to come forward, you..."

"What kind of burden is it? It's a burden, right?"

Rubbing the girl's short hair vigorously, Zhou Li shook his head with a smile, sat up, and said: "Come, listen, I will tell you a truth that you will only understand when you grow up."

Zhou Li looked at the girl's clear and translucent eyes. He rarely stopped joking, but said solemnly:

"Sometimes, burden is also a reason."

"Burden···Reason···"

The girl was a little confused. “Like you always said, you are a burden to your father and you feel very bad.”

Looking at the somewhat incomprehensible girl, Zhou Li looked calm, looked at the sparkling water, and said softly: "But it is precisely because of you as a "burden" that your father will work hard in business, take care of your mood, and pay attention to Your studies.”

"Because you are also the reason for him to live hard. Every day he sees you eating without being picky, seeing you thrive, and seeing the smile you give him when you get home, he has a reason to start a new day. Keep working hard in life.”

Stretching out his finger, Zhou Li looked at the girl who seemed to understand something, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "For the same reason, you stupid kid is also my reason. This city is too boring. Without you, I have no motivation to be here. If we stay here, I will run back to Beiliang long ago."

Stretching out his hand and pinching the girl's nose, Zhou Li said with a smile:

"Children, don't worry all day long. From now on, you are not allowed to say whose burden you are. Make an agreement and pull the hook."

The girl stared blankly at the fingers in front of her and the boy with a pure smile. For a moment, the originally tangled thoughts seemed to be untangled.

"Then you... you have to come back to me in the future."

Looking at the grass weighed down by the wind by the river, the girl seemed to have thought of something and said dullly: "Let's pull the hook. I will no longer say that I am a burden to others. You will come back to me in the future."

"Don't worry, I always keep my word. Even if I can't come to Nanjing to find you, you can go to Beiliang to find me. I can't run away."

Zhou Li answered decisively.

"it is good."

The girl nodded, her original gloominess swept away, replaced by a bright smile. She stretched out her little finger and gently hooked Zhou Li's finger, and the tender voices of children and teenagers sounded by the bridge.

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, don't change for a hundred years!"

Yun Baibai smiled softly. The boy's words were as warm as the sunshine in the south, but they were buried in her heart like an old picture scroll. Only when the rainy season brings depression to her heart, this period of time will appear again.

Just like now.

The fingers that were about to touch the barrier suddenly lifted up, as if they were trying to hook up with someone. The gray mist that was about to come out from the girl's fingertips suddenly shattered.

Yun Baibai slowly raised his head, white snake's astonished expression reflected in his clear and bright eyes. She opened her mouth and couldn't hear her own words, but she could hear her own heart.

I want to be the "reason".

"Taoist Priest..."

Yun Baibai looked at the faint moonlight in the sky and said, "My body is indeed more fragile than ghosts and gods."

"But that doesn't mean..."

Stretching out her hand, her fingertips traced across her face, as if an actress put on a mask. The girl's body was like butterfly wings, spinning lightly and gracefully. She slowly raised her cheek, and the indescribable inscription seemed to be whispering, shocking the gray mist.

"Ghosts and gods can violate my wishes."

Nuo opera, in order to bring good weather, ward off disasters and get rid of ghosts, ancient tribes looked for pure-minded and beautiful women to soothe the gods with their beautiful dance postures, attracting ghosts, gods, nature, and spiritual magic to attach to the masks of ghosts and gods, so that the women who perform Nuo opera can communicate with each other. The power of heaven and earth.

But if ghosts and gods demand sacrifices, confuse the world, delude people's souls, and eat people's minds, all their actions are not done by righteous gods. Then the shaman used Nuo opera to command the ghosts and gods to enter the mortal world, accept the censure of human beings, and reform.

it's for.

Nuo plays the magic witch.

"Honor the Supreme Lord of the Yellow Sea."

Yun Baibai spoke, and the girl who was no longer weak had only the calmness of a lake in her eyes. She stared at the white snake, at the indescribable existence behind the gray fog, and called out in a melodious and solemn singing voice:

"The witch orders."

"Attach me!"
