There are always monsters disturbing my study

Chapter 12

Yi Xiaoxuan has not remembered these words for a long time.

Even when he occasionally remembered, there was no feeling of sadness or anger in his heart.

Maybe the neighbors were right and he wasn't a normal kid.

He won't laugh when he's happy, won't cry when he's sad, and won't get angry when he's bullied.

He is like a stuffed gourd, a wood carving and a stone carving.Except for the obsession of "study hard and develop rockets" given to him by his grandfather, he has no attachments in his heart.

Even though his face has learned to make appropriate expressions in different scenes, his state of mind still rarely fluctuates.

……

"Xiaoxuan, Xiaoxuan, this is your future room. Dad made this bookshelf for you by himself. When you grow up, I will buy you a whole bookshelf full of books."

"What does Xiaoxuan want to do when he grows up? Do you want to be an astronaut?"

"Old Yi, shut up, astronauts are too dangerous! My Xiaoxuan must not do dangerous things!"

"Okay, okay, mom objected, so let's not ride a rocket, let's build a rocket, okay? Let's be scientists!"

……

Yi Xiaoxuan was stunned.

Build a rocket?Be a scientist?Isn't this what grandpa expected?

It turns out, is this also what Dad expected?

The scene in front of me continued to change.

He saw his father making toy building blocks for him with his own hands, and he poked the tip of the awl with his finger foolishly, crying in pain, and his father was punished by his mother to write a review;

He saw his mother teaching him to walk, and after he fell a few times, he lay down on the ground and was called a little turtle by his mother;

He saw his father hugging him to read a picture book, and fell asleep while reading, angrily, he squeezed his fists and shot at his father left and right;

He saw his mother feeding him, he was eating while eating, vomited food everywhere, and was spanked by his mother...

Yi Xiaoxuan didn't know whether these things were true or not, because he had no memory at all.

Whether it is his loving parents, or his mischievous self, he has no memory at all.

"Xiaoxuan, do you believe what Grandpa said now?"

An old voice sounded.

The familiar voice finally caused Yi Xiaoxuan, who had a blank expression, to show a shocked expression.

The illusion suddenly shattered.Yi Xiaoxuan stood in a cave that had no light source but was so bright that even the moss on the stone wall could be clearly seen.

At the end of the cave, a hunchbacked figure was waving at Yi Xiaoxuan.

"Grandpa..." Yi Xiaoxuan's mind was suddenly broken, and he involuntarily ran towards that blurred shadow.

At this time, a hand stretched out from behind his back, clasping his shoulder and retracting it. "Stupid, don't go."

Yi Xiaoxuan was firmly imprisoned by one arm, and his back bumped into something hard but warm, and his trance thoughts finally came to him.

When Yi Xiaoxuan was hugged with one hand from behind, a familiar smell wafted through his nose.

It was obviously just a stimulant to the sense of smell, but it reminded him of the smell of warmth and sleepiness.

"Zhong Mengchen?" Yi Xiaoxuan asked.

"Heh, who else but me?" Zhong Mengchen's lazy voice was still so beating.

Yi Xiaoxuan thought, maybe he wasn't so calm.At least when he was with Zhong Mengchen, his emotional fluctuations were quite complicated.

"I thought it was the remnant soul of an ancient antique, but it turned out to be a ghost." Zhong Mengchen pulled Yi Xiaoxuan behind him, "What are you looking for with Yi Xiaoxuan? Are you going to swallow him to improve your cultivation? A strong stomach? Huh?"

Yi Xiaoxuan tugged at the corner of Zhong Mengchen's clothes, and whispered: "He may be my grandfather."

After Zhong Mengchen's sarcasm stopped, he turned his head abruptly, and his eyes became phoenix eyes in disbelief: "What? Grandpa?"

Yi Xiaoxuan nodded: "I was raised by a monster grandfather. What is a monster? Isn't grandpa a monster?"

Zhong Mengchen was silent for a while, and bowed to the blurred figure: "Hi, Grandpa, I'm Yi Xiaoxuan's classmate Zhong Mengchen."

Yi Xiaoxuan: "???" Wait, no, why are you suddenly so polite?

The blurry shadow swayed, and then waved to Yi Xiaoxuan: "Xiaoxuan."

"Grandpa..." Yi Xiaoxuan was in a trance again, trying to bypass Zhong Mengchen and walk towards the shadow.

Although Zhong Mengchen suddenly became very polite, he still held Yi Xiaoxuan firmly.

"Don't go there." Zhong Mengchen twitched his nose and said with a frown, "Your grandfather's consciousness has fallen asleep, leaving only instinct. You don't want the old man to hurt you unconsciously, do you? This will make the old man sad."

Conscious sleep?Yi Xiaoxuan looked up blankly.

By the way, grandpa said that his life span is over, and I have to walk the next road by myself.

Yi Xiaoxuan woke up completely.

He stood behind Zhong Mengchen with his head down, not looking at the vague shadow calling him anymore.

He forgot, and he was the only one left.

Zhong Mengchen flicked his tail unhappily, and said in a bad mood: "If you wish, I can help you activate your golden light of merit, briefly awaken your grandfather's consciousness, and let the old man say a few words to you before he dies. "

"Passed away... grandpa hasn't passed away yet?" Yi Xiaoxuan raised his head excitedly.

"Well, now his lifespan is coming to an end, so instinct calls you." Zhong Mengchen muttered, "Then it attracts the filth that wants to steal it."

"Didn't you say that grandpa is a ghost? Ghosts also have a lifespan?" Yi Xiaoxuan asked again.

Zhong Mengchen glanced at Yi Xiaoxuan, and said, "Ghosts are not equal to ghosts. The aura is gradually revived, and everything has the hope of becoming a spirit again. But it may take nearly a hundred years for ordinary spirits to condense their consciousness."

"However, as the darlings of heaven who can have self-awareness at birth, human beings can change this rule. When human beings die, if their obsession is too deep, they cannot be immediately included in reincarnation. In the unopened world of the Three Realms, this ray of obsession The thoughts will gradually disappear with time and become pure aura."

"But if there is a powerful monster nearby, the obsession will be attracted by the monster, and it will fuse with the monster, allowing the monster to gain self-awareness in advance. Such a monster who takes shortcuts is called a ghost."

"Ghosts will be restricted to the place where the monsters were born and cannot leave, just like the earth-bound spirits. Only when their obsession is eliminated can they continue to practice and regain their freedom."

"Although there are restrictions, ghosts that already have self-awareness can practice much faster than ordinary monsters. The self-aware monsters you have seen today are all ghosts."

Zhong Mengchen pointed to the fuzzy shadow deep in the cave: "Your grandfather is a ghost formed by the fusion of human obsession and the remnant soul of a spirit beast in the cave."

Zhong Mengchen sniffed earnestly again, and said: "The human obsession fused by your grandfather is probably the obsession of people in the Republic of China after death. He is too old, everything will come to an end, and ghosts will not exception."

Zhong Mengchen's tone and words were so indifferent and ruthless, but the waves in Yi Xiaoxuan's heart were gradually calmed down.

("Xiaoxuan, grandpa is getting old, it's time to say goodbye to you. Don't cry, whether it is your parents, or me, it is normal to usher in the end of life, and it has nothing to do with you. You are not a disaster, It’s really not a disaster, don’t listen to the nonsense of those who have broken mouths.”)

"Do you want to hear the last words?" Zhong Mengchen asked again.

Yi Xiaoxuan wanted to say "yes", but the word stuck in his throat for a long time, but he swallowed it.

"How will it affect you? Will it hurt you?" Yi Xiaoxuan asked.

Zhong Mengchen's eyes were slightly rounded.He could "smell" Yi Xiaoxuan's desire.Unexpectedly, Yi Xiaoxuan could control his desire and consider his safety as a stranger.

He let go of Yi Xiaoxuan's hand, put his hands in his sleeves, turned his face away slightly, and said uncomfortably: "Yes, from now on, I will rub some of your golden light of merit every day. Reach out."

Yi Xiaoxuan moved his lips, said "thank you" in a low voice, and obediently held out his hand.

Zhong Mengchen didn't make any movements, just looked at Yi Xiaoxuan's fingertips.

Yi Xiaoxuan's fingertips condensed a small golden light.The golden light elongated and turned into a golden thread, extending toward the depths of the cave.

When the golden thread touched the blurred shadow, the shadow stopped calling Yi Xiaoxuan and turned into mist and dissipated.

At the end of the cave, a very tall skeleton of an unidentifiable animal was exposed.

"Let's go." Zhong Mengchen still had his hands in his sleeves, but his big tail wrapped around Yi Xiaoxuan's waist.

Yi Xiaoxuan followed Zhong Mengchen to the skeleton.The golden thread at his fingertips broke off, turned into light spots like fireflies, and injected into the skeleton.

The skeleton emits a shining white light, and the white light gathers at the two empty eye sockets, as if the skeleton has opened its eyes.

"Xiaoxuan, why are you here?"

A kind voice sounded in Yi Xiaoxuan's mind.

Yi Xiaoxuan moved his lips, but couldn't make a sound.

"This... ah, there are still living monsters." The kind voice said again.

Zhong Mengchen nodded to the bone frame: "Hi, Grandpa, I'm Yi Xiaoxuan's classmate Zhong Mengchen. In order to make some merit and avoid disaster, I will share the rent with Yi Xiaoxuan for the past three years in high school."

"That's it, Xiaoxuan has a new friend." The kind voice brought a smile, "How long have I been asleep?"

Zhong Mengchen replied: "It didn't take long, the freshman year of high school just started for a month."

A kind voice sighed: "Great, I've only been away for half a year, and Xiaoxuan has companionship. I remembered, are you the Fox Immortal from Ditai High School?"

Zhong Mengchen shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary vixen, and I can't be called a fairy."

With a smile in his kind voice, he changed the subject and said, "Xiaoxuan, why don't you talk?"

Yi Xiaoxuan opened his lips again, and finally made a sound: "Grandpa... Is the picture you showed me real? Do my parents really love me?"

"Hey, you kid, how many times have I told you in your ear, why don't you believe me?"

"What picture? Ah, could it be that when my soul was about to disperse, it attracted you here, and you saw my memory? Oh, I'm sorry, kid, I almost hurt you."

Yi Xiaoxuan shook his head vigorously: "It didn't hurt me, I just saw something about my parents."

"You saw it, that's great. Of course those are true. Your father could see me when he was underage. I'm your father's guardian spirit, and I've always been by your father's side."

"I didn't expect that when the consciousness was about to dissipate, I could let you see my memory. It's great...so good..."

The kind voice became softer and softer, and the light on the skeleton was slowly dissipating.
