Chapter 163 Face
Cen Ruoqiu's face was still pale. She stood in the center of the street and looked at the old beggar.
She met this old beggar. Many years ago, in Luoshui City, they were ready to participate in the Three School Martial Arts. It was at that time that she saw Jiang Hanye for the first time, and that time she saw this old beggar.
At that time, the old beggar didn't say much to her, but stood in front of her and looked at her as she is now. At that time, she was kind enough to give the old beggar some broken silver, but she was pulled away by Bai Rou.
Now he meets the old beggar in this northern town, and the past scenes suddenly reflect in Cen Ruoqiu's mind like a picture on a horse lantern.
"Sister Cen, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Cen Ruoqiu's appearance, Shi Zhen couldn't help asking with some worry.
"Brother Shizhen, I want to eat fire. Can you help me buy some?" Cen Ruoqiu did not answer the question.
Shi Zhen and Cen Ruoqiu have been together day and night in recent years. They have a common goal and a common enemy, and gradually have a better understanding of Cen Ruoqiu. This girl looks very strong on the surface, but weak in her heart. She is not as cold as she looks. She has seen dozens of times of charity to beggars just as she saw on the road.
Now Shizhen saw Cen Ruoqiu deliberately holding himself away, and he knew that the little sister must have her own difficulties, so he nodded and said, "I'll buy it. You should be careful. Call me if you need anything. I'll be across the street." Indeed, the burning shop is across the street.
After opening the truth, Cen Ruoqiu looked at the old beggar and asked, "Old man, now you can meet me."
"Girl, I won't hide it from you. I'm not too accurate, but I'm very accurate." The old beggar coughed and deliberately said, "Well, my throat is dry. I haven't had a full meal or drunk for months..."
The old beggar deliberately said this, which naturally had his intention. Although Cen Ruoqiu had little contact with people, she still had this ability. After hearing this, she smiled faintly and said, "So how about we go to this restaurant to eat something?"
"Girl, you are really easy to be cheated!" The old beggar looked at Cen Ruoqiu with his turbid eyes, "If I were a liar, would you treat me to a meal so easily? Maybe I will lose people."
"Ha ha, what can you do even if you are a liar? All I lost was a meal, and you got what you wanted. Counting it, we still made some money. Cen Ruoqiu smiled gently, and suddenly she felt dizzy.
"Forget, you go to buy a pot of wine, and we will sit and drink on the street. I think those snobbish shopkeeper won't let an old beggar like me enter the door..." After the old beggar finished speaking, he walked to an alley next to him with a crutch and sat down on a stone at the mouth of the alley. As soon as he looked up and saw Cen Ruoqiu Zheng There, she waved her hand and motioned her to buy wine quickly.
Cen Ruoqiu bought wine, some cold dishes with wine, and then thoughtfully bought two dough cakes for the old beggar as staple food.
"Yo hehe!" When the old beggar saw the fragrant wine and vegetables, he couldn't close his mouth. He greeted Cen Ruoqiu to sit next to him, and then said to her, "Little girl, you are the kindest person I have seen in so many years, really."
"Old man, don't say this. You just said you want to meet me. Why don't you start?" Cen Ruoqiu's forehead was full of sweat. Now she feels that her mind is floating, as if she is going to be attracted by something, and this originally belonged to her own mind, but now she can't make the decision.
"Child!" The old beggar called, "Are you uncomfortable now?"
Although the old beggar is right, Cen Ruoqiu does not think that this person is a master or a powerful person because of this sentence, but the old beggar's 'child' makes Cen Ruoqiu feel warm. In the past 20 years, except that the master occasionally called her, Cen Ruoqiu had never heard others call her like this. Now when she heard the old beggar call like this, it made her feel hot. The god and soul involuntarily flew back, and she felt as if the symptoms of dizziness seemed to have been relieved.
"Yes." Cen Ruoqiu hesitated for a moment and said, "But what does this have to do with my face?"
"Ha ha, I said, old beggars are not very good at meeting each other, but they can look after people. Child, I think your problem should be gone since you met someone, right? Think about it carefully, what strange people have you met recently? How can they turn into such a thing?
The words of the old beggar seemed to be an enlightenment for Cen Ruoqiu. She was stunned and couldn't help thinking about the past. Who did she meet? Her illness only happened in recent days. Before that, she met a lot of people. Among other things, there were all the pedestrians on the street, but there was really such a special person. Cen Ruoqiu instantly thought of the life of the spider man.
"Ghost life." Cen Ruoqiu said, "I once met a demon in the Western Regions. In fact, I should have met him long ago..." Cen Ruoqiu hesitated for a moment and kidnapped her and Shi Zhen, all the way from Jiangnan to the Western Regions.
"Oh..." The old beggar touched his messy beard, did not eat food or drink, but narrowed his eyes and listened to Cen Ruoqiu's story, and nodded slightly from time to time.
"That's it, old man, according to your opinion, I'm sick and unstable now. Is it related to this demon?" After saying that, Cen Ruoqiu looked at the old beggar seriously and asked.
"Well, you have become like this because of a person, and the ghost you mentioned is indeed not a good person, but it has nothing to do with him. You have become like this because of a woman..." The old beggar said slowly.
"Woman?" Cen Ruoqiu looked at the old beggar in surprise and asked, "What woman?"
"Think about it again, haven't you really met a woman recently?" The old beggar said, "Someone makes you feel very strange at a glance, but you can't bear to see the woman."
"There is indeed such a person!" Cen Ruoqiu immediately thought of Kan Cangyue. She didn't know who Kan Cangyue was at all, but knew that she had wanted to suck her dying soul. Of course, this was also what Jiang Hanye's entourage Jin Danzi told her later. Although she didn't like Jin Danzi very much, she felt that he didn't need to lie to himself.
"Try." The old beggar said, "By the way, show me your birthday."
"It's like this..." Cen Ruoqiu told the old beggar about Kan Cangyue's appearance and meeting her, and then told the old beggar about his birthday.
As soon as the old beggar heard Cen Ruoqiu talk about this person, his expression changed greatly. After hearing Cen Ruoqiu's birthday, his expression became more powerful. At that time, he was nibbling a chicken leg, and the chicken leg was hanging on his mouth. He opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't say a word.
"How about the old man?" When Cen Ruoqiu saw the appearance of the old beggar, he knew that it must have something to do with the strange but beautiful pale woman like Chang'e in the moon. Although the old man in front of him was just a dirty old beggar, his intuition told Cen Ruoqiu that his words seemed to be credible.
"You..." The old beggar looked very abnormal. He seemed to be scared by Cen Ruoqiu's birthday, "Didn't you lie to me?"
"What?" Cen Ruoqiu frowned. Although she respected the old and loved the young, she also hated what others suspected of what she said, because she lived so long that she had never cheated.
"Your date of birth." The old beggar said.
"No, I don't think so. This is what my master told me. I have been an orphan since I was a child..." Cen Ruoqiu said.
"This... child, that woman, where did you meet her?" The old beggar shivered, and the chicken leg in his mouth fell down.
"Western Regions..." Cen Ruoqiu looked at the old beggar suspiciously. Originally, she came to meet him with a try. Now she felt that something was very wrong. She stood up and wanted to leave, because Cen Ruoqiu subconsciously felt that the old beggar did know something, but she also felt that maybe the old beggar What she knows may not be what she wants to know.
"Wait!" The old beggar grabbed Cen Ruoqiu and said hurriedly, "Sit down!"
The old beggar is very strong, and even with the strength of Cen Ruoqiu's spiritual death, he can't break away from his hands at once. This shows that he is not an ordinary person. Maybe he is a scattered fairy? However, as long as he has made certain achievements, he will not be discouraged. Why did he become a beggar?
"Old man, I'm sorry, I suddenly feel uncomfortable and want to go back to take medicine." Cen Ruoqiu was in a hurry and came up with such a lame excuse that even a three-year-old child knew that she was running away.
"Child, don't get me wrong!" The old beggar took a deep breath and seemed to have stabilized. He let go of his hand and looked at Cen Ruoqiu and said, "Don't escape. Some things can't be avoided. I know you are looking for some people now, but before looking for those people, you must do your own thing well, otherwise everything will be arrogant. Talk about it.
The old beggar's words made Cen Ruoqiu sit down slowly again. He lifted the messy hair on his face and showed an old face. However, although this face was a little old, it could be faintly seen that he was also a handsome man when he was young.
"Do you know? Your eight characters are very similar to a person I know, almost exactly the same, but she is much older than you. If she is still alive, she will at least be two years older than you. The old beggar said.
"So what? There are countless people with the same eight characters in this world..." Cen Ruoqiu was also surprised, but she was still very tough. Somehow, she didn't seem to want to hear what the old beggar wanted to say next, but there was a voice in her heart: "Listen!"
Curiosity and resistance, this complex mentality made the sweat on Cen Ruoqiu's forehead more dense. She sat on the stone back and forth, and her head was dizzy and almost asleep.
"Child!" The old beggar shouted again, which pulled Cen Ruoqiu out of her drowsiness. She opened her eyes and looked at the old beggar and said, "Old man, if you want to say it, I still have friends waiting for me."
"Child, don't worry. You are in a state of gone." The old beggar said.
"What?" Cen Ruoqiu frowned. As soon as she heard what the old beggar said, she knew that he was a ghost. In this divine island world, ghosts have always been known as a nine-class sect on the left side door. Although it is much stronger than the devil, it is not taken seriously by these martial arts people.
"It's a walking soul." The old beggar repeated.
"What does that mean?" Cen Ruoqiu asked.
"Your soul is now in a state of separation. She will return to her body. Child, do you know the six reincarnations?" The old beggar said.
"Naturally, we know that the purpose of cultivating immortals is to transcend this cycle and control our own destiny." Cen Ruoqiu replied.
"Yes, if you understand this, I will explain much better." The old beggar said, "Everyone has their own past and present life, perhaps pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, or dignitaries, which depends on personal merit. But no matter what, there will be reincarnation. Your previous life is still in this world. It would be good if you don't encounter each other. Once you encounter it, I'm afraid she will seek your soul.
"What?" Cen Ruoqiu frowned and looked at the old beggar. Now she was skeptical of the old beggar's words, "I'm alive, and my previous life is also alive?"
"It may not be alive, maybe it's a walking dead." The old beggar said that the expression on his face was very solemn, which made people feel that he seemed to be worried.
"So what?" Cen Ruoqiu asked doubtfully again.
"So you will have this feeling now, dizziness, fatigue, cold sweating all over, always want to sleep, and don't like to eat..." The old beggar said slowly, "All these are manifestations of the soul's about to leave the body."
Cen Ruoqiu was secretly surprised. The old beggar was right about all her physical discomfort in the past few days, which made her have eight points of faith in the old beggar's words, so she asked, "Old man, so what do you think I should do?"
"Duty to dust, since everyone has died, naturally, you can't miss the world anymore. This matter requires you to find your previous life and have a good talk to her. If she is willing to let you go, there may be a turnaround in this matter, otherwise you have to fight for me... But no matter you two Whoever wins is not a good thing for you, because in a sense, she is you, and you are also her..." The old beggar shook his head and said, "Oh, where's my chicken leg?" He picked up the chicken leg from the ground, patted the dust on it, and threw it into his mouth to chew it. He even chewed up the bones and swallowed it. He didn't know what his teeth were made of.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth..." At this time, the pale but extremely beautiful girl kept emerging in front of her eyes. From the appearance, it was impossible to tell whether she was good or evil, but such a girl was really her. The previous life?
"Oh, I didn't say who was your previous life, I can only say that it was suspected..." The old beggar said, " By the way, the girl you saw in the Western Regions is very pale?"
"Well, I seem to have heard that she feeds on the souls of the dead." Cen Ruoqiu said.
"Oh..." The old beggar's look has now completely returned to his original appearance. He ate and drank a lot, and his eyes were cloudy. While eating, he squeaked his fingers and said to Cen Ruoqiu, "This is delicious!" He pointed to the pig's ears.
"Hehe, is it delicious? If it's delicious, I'll get you more." Cen Ruoqiu Dao.
"No, no, some things can be ordered until the end. If you eat too much, it will be boring." The old beggar shook his head to stop Cen Ruoqiu.
"In that case, I will leave. My friend is still waiting for me." Cen Ruoqiu Dao.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" The old beggar laughed and said, "Child, take care. If you find your previous life, remember to talk to her. In fact, she should not be willing to do so..."
Cen Ruoqiu was stunned, shook her head and turned away with a wry smile. Across the street, Shi Zhen had been waiting for her, holding a bag of fire in her hand.
"Sister Cen, how's it going?" When Shi Zhen saw Cen Ruoqiu coming, he handed her the fire and asked with concern.
"I said something strange." Cen Ruoqiu didn't know how to talk about this to Shizhen for a moment, so he had to prevaricate like this.
"What did you say?" Shi Zhen asked. In his heart, this sister Cen of Baihua Valley seemed to be his little sister. He felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to take good care of this little sister. Otherwise, how could he explain to Bai Rou in the future?
"Brother Shizhen, do you think it is possible to meet a person in his past and present life?" Cen Ruoqiu did not answer the question.
Shizhen is a disciple of Buddhism. Although he is just practicing with hair, he is the best and the highest cultivation among all the disciples in Xumi Mountain. Although now the four monks have gone to three, the whole Xumi Mountain seems to have plummeted, but because of him, all the monks don't feel much. Instead, they practice harder than before, looking forward to one day following the eldest brother and rescue the same door. It can be seen that Shizhen's position in the mind of the same family in Xumi Mountain.
He has such a status, which is not a false reputation. At the beginning, after he recited all the scriptures that can be recited in the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion, it is rumored that he has seen through the reincarnation of life and death. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but it can also reflect certain truth.
"Reincarnation is the only way for all sentient beings. Only in the past can there be this life, but how can we meet each other in the past and this life?" Shi Zhen frowned.
