"Why are you planning to leave so soon and not stay any longer?"
Looking at Tailor Ma who was a little distracted, Gu Ningan asked with a smile.
Tailor Lao Ma walked under the eaves, looked back at the direction of the tailor shop, and said with a long voice: "I won't stay much longer. I'm lucky to be able to come back to see you. If I stay longer, I'm afraid I really don't want to die."
Gu Ning'an responded with a smile: "If you don't want to die, then don't die."
If others had said this, Tailor Lao Ma would definitely have scoffed at it. After all, couldn't life and death matters be decided with just one word?
On the last day of his life, even Xu Chenghuang's "daily parade" mission could not prevent him from dying.
After all, although this "Japanese Tour" is just a small official of the City God, he still needs to be appointed by a serious "underworld document". The process here takes at least three days, which means that the time for the appointment is not enough.
But Tailor Lao Ma knew that what Xu Chenghuang couldn't do didn't mean that Mr. Gu couldn't do it.
Maybe as long as he nods in a joking manner, Mr. Gu will naturally help him "live"...
"That's all, we shouldn't stay here when the time is up... After I return to heaven and earth, there will be a different kind of beautiful scenery. We still want to see it!" Tailor Ma smiled with relief and asked Ning'an. After opening his mouth, he continued: "Let's find a place to have a drink."
"Okay!" Gu Ning'an responded with a smile and left side by side with Tailor Ma.
In the tailor shop, Ma Ming, who was a little distracted by the sudden appearance of Tailor Ma, accidentally glanced at an old sewing box on the table.
This sewing box was left by Tailor Ma. Ma Ming opened the sewing box and stared at the various needles and threads in it for a while: "Dad, I met this little old man today, and he sounded really like you when he talked to me!"
"Hey, Shopkeeper Ma, help me wrap this piece of cloth."
"Shopkeeper Ma?"
A plump woman saw Ma Mingcai was in a daze, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
After coming back to his senses, Ma Ming put down his sewing box, said "sorry" several times, and continued to greet the guests.
…
Late at night, two figures, one tall and one short, gradually approached outside the Chenghuang Temple.
Tailor Lao Ma was swaying as he walked, looking as if he was drunk: "Mr. Gu, you said it's time for your soul to return to heaven and earth. How long will it take before you can come back to this world to see it again?"
Gu Ning'an smiled and said, "What? Do you regret not answering what I said in the morning?"
Tailor Lao Ma said "Hey" and waved his hand: "I just think that this world is quite good. If I have a chance, I still want to come back and see it."
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an looked at the sky and said calmly: "It should be possible to come back, but I don't know when I can come back."
As soon as these words came out, Tailor Ma showed a look of astonishment: "Is there anything else that sir doesn't know?"
Gu Ningan smiled and said lightly: "I can't know everything."
Tailor Lao Ma touched the stubble of his beard and said with a smile: "It's a good thing, I know everything. It makes living in this world a little less interesting."
Gu Ning'an glanced at Tailor Ma with interest and said with a smile, "You are becoming more and more polite with your words."
"Hey, I've been with Mr. for a long time, how can I not have any ink in my stomach?" As he spoke, Tailor Ma made a twirling motion and continued: "Sir, look, do I look like a scholar? ?”
Gu Ning'an looked at him for a while and said with a smile, "He looks like a tailor."
"Hahahahaha..." After laughing, Tailor Ma wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with his hands, "Sir, just send it here. See you later!"
Gu Ning'an nodded: "Let's go slowly and see you again if we have the chance."
Tailor Lao Ma nodded vigorously, then turned and strode away: "Let's go!"
Tailor Lao Ma walked very quickly, and soon he walked into the City God's Temple. As soon as he entered the temple, his three
The soul is separated from the host body.
Huh~huh~
A breeze blew between heaven and earth, and Tailor Ma's soul was divided into three parts... The soul of heaven returned to the sky with the wind, the soul of earth melted into the earth in the wind, and the soul of man turned into little bits of light and dissipated in this world of mortals...
Bang!
Gu Ning'an put away the worldly aura that came from Tailor Ma, arched her hands in the direction where her old friend left, and quickly returned to Ansi Courtyard...
In the small courtyard, the swaying branches of the kumquat tree made a pleasant "rustling" sound. Gu Ning'an gently stroked the delicate trunk and said with a smile: "If you don't bloom and bear fruit, I don't know when I will be able to eat it." .”
sand~sand~
The kumquat tree swayed in the wind again, its long oval branches and leaves slowly unfolding, revealing the shy flowers waiting to be bloomed.
Faintly, Gu Ning'an could smell the faint fragrance of flowers. After pouring the last bucket of water, he sat down cross-legged again, activated his magic power, and breathed in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Gradually, a whirling spiritual wind blew in the yard. Gu Ning'an relaxed slightly and leaned on the tree trunk, recalling the old and absorbing the new at the same time, feeling the tranquility of the moment.
…
"Oh my god, have you ever smelled something that smells so good?"
"I smelled it in the middle of the night last night. The fragrance smelled so comfortable, and I didn't know what kind of flower it was."
"Logically speaking, the floral fragrance is so strong, it should be happening near us. I have searched several streets, but still can't find the source of the floral fragrance."
A pair of beautiful-looking girls were walking on the street. While they were talking, they were looking around, fearing that if they didn't pay attention, they would miss the flowers that emitted the strange fragrance.
At this time, Butcher Liu, who was sitting on the street, put down his dry smoke pot, showed his yellow teeth, and said with a grin: "Girl, this floral fragrance comes from Ansi Courtyard."
Upon hearing this, the two girls immediately raised their heads and looked in the direction that Butcher Liu was pointing.
Sure enough, within the courtyard wall, you can vaguely see branches full of small yellow flowers. The closer you get to the Ansi courtyard, the stronger the fragrance of the flowers becomes.
"Dad, do you know what kind of flower that is? Why does it smell so fragrant?" a girl asked timidly.
Hearing this, Butcher Liu waved his hands and said: "In my opinion, those flowers are kumquat flowers, which are the flowers that bloom before the kumquat tree bears fruit... Logically speaking, the kumquat tree should not bloom at this time... ...But if it’s An Si Courtyard, we won’t be surprised at all if it turns out immediately.”
The girl asked with interest: "Why aren't you surprised?"
Butcher Liu looked strange and replied, "Don't you know that the owner of An Si Courtyard is an immortal immortal?"
"Immortal?" The girl paused and was about to say something when she was pulled by her companion: "Let's go. Where did the immortal come from? Don't listen to this old man teasing you."
Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Butcher Liu didn't say anything. He just sat back by the courtyard door. After taking two deep breaths, he couldn't help but murmur to himself: "The orange tree planted by the immortal is blooming. If you take a few more breaths, I'm afraid it won't prolong your life." …”
