Legend of Monsters: The Prince Saw a Ghost Alive

Chapter 31

Bei Jiuyuan looked at the furnishings in the room and the thick layer of dust on the table, and said: "At least no one has lived here for many years, you..."

Qing Chi turned around and interrupted: "You are lying, Master was still retreating on the mountain two months ago!"

Bei Jiuyuan didn't know what was going on.According to Qing Chi's familiarity with this Taoist temple, she should have lived here before.

Later, Qingchi couldn't find his master, so he had to sit down on the steps in front of the master's door exhausted.The bright red rays of the setting sun shone on her body, stretching her figure on the steps, looking lonely and pitiful.

She slowly took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and small oily chicken bought at the foot of the mountain, and sat there alone to eat in silence.Like an abandoned homeless kid.

It seems that all the vigor and vitality are gone overnight.

Bei Jiuyuan felt distressed, so he sat down beside her, reached out and took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the paper bag in her hand to eat, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and said: "I heard that after the Taoist went down the mountain and practiced to be able to be alone, is To be a teacher."

Qing Chi was stunned, and looked up at him pitifully.

Bei Jiuyuan said again: "Master feels that the qualifications of the disciples are sufficient, so he will drive the disciples down the mountain, or let the disciples travel far and wide, and see you in the rivers and lakes in the future as teachers and friends." He looked away from afar, clear and shallow Light fell on her body, and the rays of the sun made her face crimson and charming like rouge. He comforted and said, "Maybe your master is also like this. Knowing that you have grown up, you can become a teacher, and you need to let go of you in the future." Let yourself explore and walk. When you become as powerful as your master, one day you will see him again."

Qingchi lowered her eyes again, covering the thousands of miles of sunshine, she said lonely: "If you don't want me, you don't want me. Where did you hear these hearsays? In all these years, I have never heard my master tell me .”

Bei Jiuyuan didn't know who he heard it from.In short, seeing Qingchi like this, he couldn't bear it, so he made up this reason casually, and said without changing his face: "I heard it from a Taoist priest in Kyoto when I was in Kyoto."

Qing Chi believed a little.As the sun set, it sank into the valley.Twilight slowly closed in, and the brilliant sky became blue-gray and monotonous, with a few stars first appearing above the head, such a monotonous and lonely night was very in line with Qingchi's current state of mind.

She squatted on her knees, buried her head between her knees, and held her face in her hands for a long time without saying a word.Later she said: "You said that no one has lived here for a long time. I believe it, but in my memory, I have only been gone for a month or two. Why did it become like this? Is it just me dreaming?"

Bei Jiuyuan was speechless.

Her fingers were wet, and she said again: "But I don't want to grow up, and I don't want to be left."

Covered in a loose black robe, Bei Jiuyuan wrapped his clothes around Qingchi's thin body, and gently embraced her.She leaned sideways on Bei Jiuyuan's lap weakly and helplessly, at first she just sobbed softly, and then she burst out crying.

Bei Jiuyuan has been quietly accompanying her.

The night in the mountains was extremely quiet.It seemed that her crying not only failed to disturb the night, but added two points of tranquility to the place.

In the sky above, there are more and more stars.Because of the high terrain, as long as you look up, you can see the sky full of Xingxing.

Bei Jiuyuan whispered in her ear: "Qingchi, look up."

Qingchi raised his head mottled with tears, and when he saw the sparkling sparks, the tears in his eyes stayed in the sockets, twinkling, moist and innocent.

Bei Jiuyuan said: "You are still too young, there is a vast world, and there are countless brilliant brilliance waiting for you to discover in the future. What is this short separation?"

Qingchi raised his hand to wipe his tears, choked up and said, "Do you think I can see my master again?"

"The fate of master and apprentice is not to be broken at once, and we will see each other in the future."

The vision is broadened, and the state of mind also changes accordingly.Bei Jiuyuan's words could soothe her heart. Fortunately, with him by his side, she felt less sad after crying.At least right now she is not alone, and she is not alone in this world and helpless.

Qingchi sat for a while, and then began to think about it. He was very lonely and helpless and said: "Master is not here. I haven't figured out how to make a living in the future. I can't fight monsters, and I can't explain the scriptures. Hexagram fortune-telling is also afraid that others will think that I am too young to trust me. Pindao is really distressed."

Bei Jiuyuan: "..."

Qingchi thought for a while and then turned to look at Bei Jiuyuan, his eyes were still wet, but clear and fresh.She said: "In order to prevent the poor from being starved to death, you said you would be responsible to me, so give me some more sesame oil money."

Bei Jiuyuan looked at her and said, "I can support you."

Qing Chi's heart moved, and he asked, "How long?"

Bei Jiuyuan said with a leisurely smile, "You can take as long as you want, even for a lifetime, I can afford it."

"It means that Pindao doesn't have to work or starve to death?"

"That's the truth." His eyes were deep, "but the premise is that you have to go back to Beijing with me."

Qingchi twisted the corner of his clothes, very entangled: "It's too far away to go to the poor way, what if the master can't find me when he comes back?"

Bei Jiuyuan said: "Your master has traveled all over the world, how could he come back at this hour and a half? Besides, there are more contacts in Beijing, so it is easier to find your master. Besides, your master is very capable, even if you are not in Qishan, he will know Find Jingzhong."

Qingchi nodded: "It's true, my master can smell the smell of wine a mile away, and he can find something."

Bei Jiuyuan continued to persuade: "When you arrive in Beijing, you will reunite with your master. It's up to you whether to go or stay."

Beijing is a place of right and wrong, no matter it's for his own selfishness or because he really feels sorry for her, he doesn't want to let her here alone.

Since her master is not around, that's fine.

Of course, Qingchi didn't know Bei Jiuyuan's plan, anyway, he persuaded her, the capital is quite prosperous, in the past, her master took her there once or twice, but she didn't have time to stay.Anyway, she didn't want to be alone, so she followed Bei Jiuyuan to Beijing, maybe she could find her master and see the world by the way.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Qingchi left the mountaintop with three steps and three turns.She has lived in this place for more than ten years, and she doesn't know when she will come back next time.When she looked back, she saw the dilapidated Taoist temple standing there, leaving a lonely shadow under the moon.

"Let's go." Bei Jiuyuan took her down the mountain without looking back.

After going down the mountain and getting into the carriage, it was already the middle of the night.Qingchi was staggeringly in the carriage with Bei Jiuyuan, and suddenly he said to his heart, "Why are you so kind to the poor Taoist? Do you still want to support the poor Taoist?"
