Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

Chapter 22: Married life is very tricky, be cautious when getting married

Views:

Not only was Yu Fu unhappy that night, but Shen Wan Tiansi was also unhappy.

He squirmed hard on the deck sofa, and said in a loud voice: "I think your act of tying up the living Buddha is too much. Do you still have any basic reverence for Buddha?"

Li Hu put her hands together, her face full of compassion, wearing a low-cut, tight-fitting miniskirt, she looked like a spotless white lotus flower: "Amitabha Buddha - benefactor, look at us here, the boss of Zhou, the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, Feng Si rebelled against the Tao of Heaven, the third child It's Zombie Xiu, I'm a nine-tailed fox; even Yu Fu smokes and drinks alcohol, and even spends time with a little relative, why do you think we respect you?"

Yu Fu angrily said, "I didn't go to a blind date to shoot!"

"..." Shen Wantiansi struggled and called for help: "Mama! Mama save me!"

"You Mama and you Baba went home to be happy." Li Hu said lovingly, "By the way, Feng Si is really not your mother, but she picked you up and fed you for a few days when her mother's love exploded. When I send someone to ask for it, I will give you back - that milk powder was purchased on behalf of Australia, I love him in US dollars and three sections."

Shen Wan Tiansi said angrily: "Don't implant the hard wide at this time!" He twisted desperately trying to get out of the rope.

It's a pity that a seventeen-year-old little living Buddha can't resist the demon power of the nine-tailed fox for three thousand years. Shen Wantian can only lie on the sofa with his butt upside down, mourning his true love that was suppressed by the power before it even started. Li Hu turned around and threw a wink at Yu Fu, who was sitting beside him drinking suffocating wine, and said triumphantly, "Well, I'll just say that I'm on the side of your middle-aged uncle, remember to praise me to Boss Zhou. what."

Yu Jingzhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I really didn't go on a blind date or have sex..."

"It's okay to think about it. Besides, as a mature uncle in your 30s, it's okay to have a shot every now and then." Li Hu said sharply: "Long-term life without X is easy to get prostatitis. Do you think about prostatitis? For the sake of human beings, if you get sick at random, you will die.”

"I don't think there is a direct connection between being clean and dying..."

"After you die, Zhou Hui will not stay in Guoan anymore. Zhou Hui will not be here if Feng Si is not there. If they both leave, the second, third, fifth and I will also leave." Li Hu said: " In this way, the country is far inferior to the little devil and the little stick in terms of the strength of the underworld war, so for the sake of national security, you should go to make an appointment every now and then. Ah? Right, brother Yan?"

Yan Lanyu didn't answer and sat on the edge drinking water.

Yu Fu looked at Li Hu and Yan Lanyu in desperation, as if he wanted to say something, but the nine-tailed fox did not give him a chance.

"Oh wait, I forgot that you still have a 'scavenger'." Li Hu blinked his eyes slyly, and said, "Although the scavenger is a little withdrawn, he is much more reliable than Boss Zhou, who has a bad temper from time to time. , The birth incident in H City and the last national security turmoil were all helped by him to end it. Boss Zhou also said that if the scavenger can grow up like this, there will be no problem in sweeping Southeast Asia alone in the future."

"I want to explain..."

"Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that you rescued the scavenger from prison before the death penalty, otherwise where would you find such a loyal subordinate. Hey, in fact, he is good in everything, but his personality is too withdrawn. I have never I thought he was a mute when I heard him speak to people other than you..."

Yan Lanyu stood up and said apologetically, "I'll go to the bathroom."

Yu Fu hurriedly put down his glass: "I'll go with you—"

"Around the dance floor and walk forward through the end of the corridor," Li Hu pointed out enthusiastically.

Yan Lanyu nodded, walked around Yu Jingzhong and walked out of the booth, and disappeared into the bustling dance floor in a flash.

Yu Jingzhong sat down very depressed, lit a cigarette and asked Li Hu: "What the hell are you trying to do? It's not like you don't know that he's sensitive!" He kicked the little living Buddha who almost fell off the sofa. go back.

"Psychological sensitivity and tolerance are two different things..." Li Hu smiled and picked up the remaining bottle of whisky that Zhou Hui had opened, and poured it into the glass in front of the deputy. Before waiting for the other person to answer, he suddenly changed the subject: "—However, today I I finally understand Feng Si a little bit."

"what?"

Li Hu smiled without saying a word, and put the wine glass in front of Yu Fu.

She remembered that when she was a little fox, she was stabbed that year, lying under the tree, looking at the dark and poisonous sky above the forest, shivering and making weak calls. As time passes by, its body temperature is getting lower and lower, its cry is getting weaker, and its vision is gradually blurred due to the gradual loss of life; just when death is about to come, it is suddenly embraced by a pair of warm hands .

It tried to open its eyes, and saw a pair of low-pitched gentle eyes in the dimness.

Many years later, the nine-tailed fox, who has cultivated into the top demon of the animal realm, has guessed countless times, how the aloof Phoenix Ming Wang noticed that he was whining and waiting to die under a tree, and what kind of mood did he stop in? , took a despicable, dirty little demon fox into his arms.

It doesn't know.

But when it saw Yan Lanyu sitting quietly drinking water, it suddenly felt a little bit of the feeling back then.

It must be that kind of indescribable feeling.

"Amitabha, little beauty, the poor demon can only help you get here..." Li Hu watched Yu Fu raised his head and drank the whiskey, and his heart was full of moving thoughts.

·

Yan Lanyu washed her face, turned off the tap, and wiped her face with two tissues.

He opened his eyes, and in the bathroom mirror saw a man behind him, wiping his hands and staring at him.

"I'm sorry," the man smiled when he saw Yan Lanyu's eyes in the mirror, "I thought you had makeup on when you came in just now, at least foundation, so I saw you wash your face... Well, just curious."

"It's okay." Yan Lanyu put down the tissue and walked out.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly turned around to block his footsteps and said with a smile, "Um, what's your name? How about I treat you to a drink?"

- This person is actually not ugly. He is in his thirties. He is tall, dressed well and can't tell the brand, but he wears a watch that is famous for being expensive. Yan Lanyu looked down and noticed his clean nails and spotless leather shoes.

Men of this type generally have a high success rate in bar conversations, both for men and women.

"No, I don't drink."

"Then let's have a cup of tea, I know there is a very famous tea house nearby..."

"I came with a friend," Yan Lanyu politely declined, walking around the man. However, after taking two steps, he stopped again and turned back: "Sir, there is someone behind you, be careful."

The man was horrified and startled, but when he turned around, he saw Yan Lanyu pointed at his back. What he couldn't see was a blood-stained face poking out silently behind him, his resentful eyes leaping over his shoulders, and staring coldly at the young onmyoji.

Yan Lanyu didn't care, turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

·

Yan Xiaomei returned to her seat and was immediately horrified.

"He only had two drinks and that's it..." For some reason, Li Hu's expression was a little subtle, as if trying to hide some unknown guilty conscience: "I only planned to give him a drink, but Tian Sicong just now He fell off the sofa, I beat him a few times, and when I turned around, I saw Yu Fu drank the entire bottom of the bottle..."

Yu Fu collapsed on the sofa, his face flushed and unconscious, Yan Lanyu tried to help him, but the drunk man was terrifyingly heavy. Yan Lanyu stood on the side with a bit of a headache, directly ignoring the constantly twisting Shen Wantiansi ("Don't worry about him, true love! What good is the middle-aged uncle! Come and save me, true love!"), asked Li Hu: "Can you help me move him to the car?"

"Call Zhang Shun, I'm a delicate girl." Li Hu kicked Zhang Shun, who was about to hatch a bird on his head when he was bored. Hearing this, he pulled Yu Jingzhong up, "Humph!" He half-carried him on his shoulders: "I'm wiping this guy is really strong... Can you drive? Would you like to call a taxi for the two of you?"

"It's okay, I'll drive." Yan Lanyu said, waving politely to Li Hu and Shen Wantiansi: "Then let's go first, see you later."

"Go home and shower him with cold water!" Li Hu chased after him worriedly and warned, "It's not cold this day! Showering cold water is good for your health!"

Yan Lanyu waved her hand to indicate that she knew, and together with Zhang Shun, carried Yu Jingzhong outside the bar and stuffed it into Yu Fu's specially modified second-hand Benz.

After all, we have experienced life and death friendship together, Zhang Shun is more concerned, seeing Yan Lanyu sitting in the car and making a fire, he is a little worried and asked: "You really know how to drive? Or I will send you back and take a taxi back. Got it."

"I really know how to drive, do you all think of me as a sweet flower that doesn't eat fireworks?" Yan Lanyu said with a smile, "I also know software engineering, I can't think of it."

Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment, only to see Yan Lanyu reversing the car skillfully, spinning around, waving his hand from the car window, and driving into the torrent of flashing lights in the bar and street at night.

"...Just kidding," Zhang Ershao thought with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Yan Lanyu stopped in front of the red light and inadvertently looked into the side mirror, stunned.

I saw outside the back door of the bar, the man who had accosted him in the bathroom just now came out with a boy in his arms. The young man had dyed hair, was very dusty, dressed scantily and was drunk.

Yan Lanyu hesitated for a while.

But at this time the green light came on, and the car behind honked his horn to urge him, so he had to step on the accelerator and drive away.

The traffic flow in Beijing at night is not covered, the traffic jams all the way, and it takes almost an hour to get home. Yan Lanyu parked the car in the apartment building, turned off the fire, and turned to help Yu Jingzhong in the passenger seat.

However, Yu Fu seemed to wake up in a daze, and muttered, "... Who is it?"

"Got home."

Yu Jingzhong didn't make a sound for a while, and didn't move. Yan Lanyu stretched out her hand to help, but Yu Fu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at himself restlessly, with bloodshot eyes.

Yan Lanyu frowned slightly, stepped out of the car, opened the co-pilot's door, and asked, "Can I get down by myself?"

Yu Jingzhong tilted his head and looked at him, as if he was thinking about something carefully. After a long while, he staggered down on the car door. He almost stumbled when he landed, and was caught by Yan Lanyu.

"… Um?"

Yan Lanyu was a little startled.

Yu Jingzhong was an expatriate agent in his early years - he was really the best among the agents, not to mention outstanding in all aspects, but also very comprehensive and excellent, with no shortcomings. In terms of physical fitness, he is much better than the average person. Although it is not very obvious when wearing clothes, the muscle fibers are very tight and solid, especially in the area of ​​the back and arms, there is almost no fat at all.

Generally speaking, such a person is solid, but not too stubborn.

However, at this time, as soon as Yan Lanyu helped him, he could feel that his body temperature was extremely high under the clothes, and his muscles were very tight, even a bit like a stone.

... No problem, he thought to himself, didn't the nine-tailed fox put anything inexplicable in the wine?

"Who are you?" Yu Jingzhong staggered a few steps and suddenly asked again hoarsely.

"Passerby A." Yan Lanyu said casually, and helped him to the elevator. Just as he pressed the button, he was suddenly pushed hard by Yu Jingzhong: "...Go away!"

This push was caught off guard, and Yan Lanyu almost didn't fall to the ground. Fortunately, after a few steps, he leaned against the wall. Before he recovered, he saw Yu Jingzhong still breathing heavily and shouted, "Go away! You go away!"

The next second the elevator door dinged open, and Vice Yu immediately fell in.

"..." Yan Lanyu's mouth twitched, pressing her shoulders and slowly walked into the elevator, only to see Yu Jingzhong staggering to get up, leaning against the elevator wall and rubbing his head. Under the light, the parts of the man's body that showed his clothes began to turn red, especially the neck and behind the ears. If the weather was a little colder, it would be steaming by this time, and it looked a bit male.

This is so unusual.

Yu Fu is the kind of man who is firm on the inside, but fleshy on the outside. You can call him chivalrous and tender, or call him useless, in short, he is the kind of person who will deliberately walk around when he sees a dead bird while driving on the road.

His power is not in the surface, but in the heart. This kind of person should not radiate too much pressure.

The elevator rose slowly, stopped at the designated floor, and opened again with a ding. Yu Jingzhong staggered and walked out. He seemed to be looking left and right a little blankly. After a while, he barely recognized that his door was the one on the left. He leaned on the wall and walked over, and began to take out the key in his trousers pocket.

However, the bottom of Li Hu's whiskey bottle was so powerful that Yu Jingzhong was so drunk that he couldn't get out the key for a long time. After a few minutes, Yan Lanyu finally couldn't help it. She stepped forward and found the key in his trousers pocket. The moment she was about to take it out, she suddenly froze.

This time he was really short-circuited, but reality didn't give him much time to react.

Yu Jingzhong grabbed him, his eyes scattered but full of anger, and shouted, "Why are you still here?"

Yan Lanyu's first reaction was: where can I go?

But then he was grabbed by Yu Jingzhong's arm, and the force made him instantly feel that his elbow might be dislocated: "Yu... Yu Jingzhong!"

Yu Jingzhong turned a deaf ear. With his other hand, he held the key to the keyhole, and took a long time to insert it, opened the door with a click, and then pushed Yan Lanyu into the door indiscriminately!

Yan Lanyu fell silently on the carpet.

The carpet was thick and he didn't feel the pain, but in the dark he heard the door closing. Yan Lanyu rolled over and sat on the ground, only to see Yu Jingzhong staggered down to his knees and grabbed his shoulders.

The next second, breaths of alcohol and tobacco were sprayed around his neck, followed by a hot and urgent kiss.

Yan Lanyu's expression was a little stunned, he didn't know how to react.

To obey or to resist, or to pretend not to know?

"Don't move, don't move..." Yu Jingzhong's voice was hoarse and unconscious, he tore his clothes indiscriminately, and his movements were so rude that even the buttons were stretched off a few times. In the chaos, Yan Lanyu felt a little pity. She wondered if there would be a sewing box at home for an old man who lives alone. If not, what should he do if he didn't, he would have to throw away the newly bought clothes?

Or just shove it in a random corner and pretend that nothing happened?

He didn't know how he could be distracted thinking of this. He was suddenly pushed down when he was in a trance, lying on his back on the carpet, Yu Jingzhong propped up his upper body and looked at him.

The two looked at each other for a long time. The living room was dimly lit with no lights on. Only the light from the street lamps outside the window shone in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Farther away, there was the sound of vehicles whistling on the road.

"..." Yan Lanyu finally stretched out her hand and pressed Yu Jingzhong's neck towards her.

Breathing entangled, he slowly placed a kiss on the man's lips.

·

For Yu Jingzhong, the situation after waking up the next morning seemed very complicated.

He opened his eyes on the big messy bed, the sunlight stinging his eyes. He closed his eyes and sat up rubbing his temples, feeling the headache from the hangover tug at every nerve like a saw.

What happened last night?

Oh yes, I went to the bar to settle the bill for Zhou Hui, the guy who evaded the bill, was drunk by Li Hu, and fell unconscious in the bar booth...

How did you come back after that?

Yu Jingzhong opened his eyes, took a breath, and suddenly felt that something was wrong the next second.

He turned his head back, because his neck was so stiff that this simple movement felt like a frame-by-frame slowdown in a movie.

There is another person on the bed.

- It's Yan Lanyu.

The young man fell asleep in the morning light, his soft black hair was scattered on the snow-white pillow, and he didn't even need to look to know that his body was as naked as him under the messy quilt. What is even more shocking is that Yan Lanyu has red or purple marks on her neck, chest, and even the large exposed back skin. Most of them are blood spots, which are especially obvious on the fair to transparent skin, and some places have begun to turn blue. .

Yu Jingzhong sat for several minutes, nothing in his mind.

After a long while, he finally mustered up the courage to open the quilt, glanced inside, then closed it immediately, rolled over and got out of bed.

He started to look for clothes with trembling hands. The scattered clothes stretched from the living room to the bedroom door. After searching for a long time, he could not find a shirt. In a hurry, he found a set of trousers. He slipped out of the bedroom, and closed the door in the study at the other end of the corridor.

After confirming that the news could not be transmitted to the bedroom, he grabbed his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Hui's number.

·

At the same time, in a duplex apartment in the neighborhood next door, Chu He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with coffee, and heard Zhou Hui's cell phone ringing at the dining table.

Zhou Hui was taking a shower in the bathroom, and his high singing voice was mixed with the rushing water - today is the opera "Turandot". If he went to the 33rd Heaven to hold a solo concert, he might be punished like a peacock swallowing a Buddha, but Chu He's temperament has been smoothed out by thousands of years of marriage. His expression remained the same when the magic sound poured into his ears, he picked up the phone to connect, and said calmly, "Hello?"

Yu Jingzhong's voice sounded very strange: "Where's Zhou Hui?"

"Take a shower. What's wrong?"

Ten minutes later, Zhou Hui walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hair, and saw Chu He sitting at the breakfast table, smearing butter on bread, and smiling.

Zhou Hui thought he had read it wrong, and suddenly stopped to take a closer look, and asked curiously, "...What's wrong?"

"Vice Yu called you just now."

"… ah?"

"It's nothing," Chu He smiled and winked at him and said, "I just told him that there is no such thing as a time machine in the world."

Volume 3 Snow Mountain Goddess

Chapter 32 Even so, Phoenix Ming Wang should be a very beautiful and attractive corpse, right?

Three hours later, Zhou Hui's office.

Li Hu sneaked his head out of the corner and asked, "How is your boss Zhou feeling now?"

A group of team members are very spirited young men, with a relatively high average appearance, and they are usually used to being molested by Li Hu. The two team members who were standing guard at the door at the moment felt very strange when they saw the serious (not) appearance of the nine-tailed fox team leader: "I don't know, it's nothing different from usual?"

The other laughed and said, "What did the sixth group leader do to offend our boss?"

Li Hu pouted: "I travel so hard every day, what can I do to offend your boss." Then he lowered his voice and asked: "—Did you see Deputy Yu this morning?"

"Deputy Director Yu has something to go out for a meeting, he doesn't seem to be in good spirits." The team member on the left couldn't help teasing: "Team Leader Six must have done something bad, right, didn't you put Deputy Yu to sleep yesterday? Ouch, let's just say, Yu Fu was completely exhausted today..."

"What did you say?" Zhou Hui suddenly opened the door with a cold face: "Who put whom to sleep, eh?"

The two young men were silent for a while, and they stood there as still as clay sculptures.

Li Hu coughed vacantly in the center of Zhou Hui's compelling gaze, and slowly walked out from the corner. I saw that she didn't step on her high heels anymore, she didn't wear miniskirts, she was carrying a black suitcase, and she shrank her neck and flattered: "Hello, Boss Zhou."

Zhou Hui is very dignified: "Come in!"

Li Hu rubbed into the office next to the corner, only to hear the door behind him slam shut, and then Zhou Hui kicked her out three meters with a violent kick: "Evil barrier! I knew that you were made into a fox fur scarf, it's all phoenixes. Four are used to it!"

With a bang, Li Hu fell to the ground with a big face, got up and said aggrieved: "I only wanted him to take a sip! Spring is a little medicine to urge a little love, who knows that his mother has drunk all of it? , do you blame me?!"

Zhou Hui said: "You are really screwed. This morning, the superiors are going to hold a hearing on Xiaomeiren and ask him about the details of his coming to China from Tokyo's Tantric Sect. Deputy Yu should leave after sending him to the hearing. In a daze, I followed the others all the way, and almost broke into the venue. The people above felt that Yu Fu was in an abnormal state, and after sending good words and good words to Guoan, they met Feng Si again..."

"Isn't it all right? Yu Fu didn't die, and the little beauty didn't die on the bed!" Li Hu felt aggrieved, but he did a good deed but didn't get anything in return: "So you called me this morning and scolded me badly. Why is it that Yu Fuyao did not disrespect Feng Si?"

"Fuck off!" Zhou Hui said irritably, "It's not like you didn't know that Feng Si was born with a big buff of a psychological mentor, with the words 'I am a bosom friend' written on his face, and when Lao Yu saw him, he went to Jinggangshan with the Red Army of Workers and Peasants. Join teachers, the people of the liberated area saw the blue sky, and they went out for a small meeting!"

Zhou Hui sat in the armchair with a very impatient expression, and threw the documents in his hand onto the desk: "Feng Si and I asked for an hour's leave! Lao Yu personally guaranteed that the person would be returned intact! From ten minutes ago, Feng Si will not be within my perception range for an entire hour!" He pointed at Li Hu, and said with a heartache: "It's all because of you!"

"..." Li Hu said earnestly, "I think you need a psychological tutor more, so go take a look."

Zhou Hui was really irritable and sat there and kept looking at his watch. Li Hu heard a saying that human eyes contain unknown biological energy. If this is true, Zhou Hui's Vacheron Constantin will explode due to overheating in five minutes.

"Can your perverted desire for control be subdued a little?" Li Hu couldn't help but put his black suitcase on the table with a bang, and said, "It's not enough to travel from here to the nearest hell realm to the human world in an hour, right? , are you still worried about Feng Sifei's success? If you are an ex-wife, don't be so sensitive to the color of the hat on your head. If you are a man, you must face the dripping blood and face the green life!"

Zhou Hui obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with the nine-tailed fox. He stared coldly at the suitcase and asked, "What is this?"

Li Hu entered the password and opened the suitcase with a click. I saw an icy white air gushing out from the gap in an instant. Due to the high temperature in the office, a drop of water immediately condensed on the surrounding desktop.

"The thing you asked me to find in H City is really under that grotto. I wanted to give it to you immediately after I rushed back to Beijing yesterday, but you left first at the bar."

Li Hu opened the suitcase and saw white air rushing out, and the entire office suddenly dropped five degrees.

"Any idea of ​​yours made me run from both ends of the city of H in Beijing, squatted under the grotto and dug for a long time, but when I came back, I was beaten up." Li Hu rubbed his head and said angrily: "No wonder the child is looking for a stepfather, and the wife becomes an ex-wife. I now support Feng Si's derailment to find the second spring in his life."

Zhou Hui was too lazy to beat her: "When you helped Feng Si fabricate evidence of my derailment and helped him leave me inexplicably to find Mo Zun, didn't you already support him to find the second spring? You know that after this happened, I was arrested three times. How many times have the gods and Buddhas in the thirteen days called over and scolded them, and they all said that the reason why King Phoenix Ming betrayed the Demon Venerable was because he was heartbroken about my derailment, and why is Nima heartbroken!"

Li Hu confessed, stopped talking, and just stared at the suitcase.

The white gas dissipated little by little as the indoor temperature dropped, and the situation inside gradually became clear. I saw a transparent glass jar fixed with a bracket in the box. Zhou Hui recognized that it was the best available on the market. A good miniature refrigeration facility, as long as the electricity is sufficient, the temperature in the jar can drop to minus 100 degrees Celsius for forty-eight hours.

In the refrigerating tank, there is also a small lotus-shaped open bracket, which is very precise and secure, holding a round and clear red bead the size of a thumb.

The red beads in the cold air exude an indescribable splendid halo, bright like a nine-day cold star, and like an extremely concentrated fire. Zhou Hui's handsome profile was a little dull in the light, and after a long while he heard him whisper: "As expected... it's really a book."

"What is this?" Li Hu asked curiously.

Zhou Hui didn't answer and asked, "How did you find this thing?"

"It was dug up. The day I brought Zhang Shun from H City to Beijing, you told me that there might be something under the grotto, so I turned around and took a plane back to H City overnight. The scavenger was preparing at the scene of the incident. To seal the grotto, I begged him for a long time, almost kneeling before he let go..."

Zhou Hui said: "If you tempt him with things like 'let me in and I'll sleep with you', I think it's normal for people to ignore you, then what?"

"I think he was still a little tempted, because although he didn't pay any attention to me from the beginning to the end, he at least digged the soil with him for a night." Li Hu said optimistically: "I didn't get down from the grotto until the next day. I found this in a three-foot-deep leyline. It was half-melted into the soil at that time, and it melted when it was exposed to light. No way, I went to buy this freezer and brought it out. - After all, what is this? How do you know there should be something in the grotto?"

Zhou Hui picked up the jar and narrowed his sharp eyebrows.

Under the red light, his pupils were slightly bloody, because his face was so handsome that it was a bit evil, and it was quite a bit like a vampire in the legend.

"I know what it is...but don't know what's the use."

He looked at Hongzhu and said slowly: "However, when I was in City H, I wondered why Feng Si was so desperate to keep Maha in the grotto, and when the Demon Lord took Maha away, he immediately turned his face. As a result, I lacked foreign aid from the demon world, and I was successfully escorted back to Beijing without any resistance... There is really a reason."

Li Hu asked curiously, "It has something to do with this bead?"

"—Phoenix suffered the divine punishment for Maha back then, and I pulled him out at the last moment when his real body was burned. He desperately turned into a human figure and rushed back to the fire." Zhou Hui put the frozen jar gently on the table with his backhand, and said, "Take the This is what came out—he dug out of his own wreckage, the eyeball of a phoenix."

·

At the same time, Yu Fu sat cross-legged on the sofa chair in the tea room, smoking a cigarette without saying a word.

The waiter brother stood by the side, holding the teapot at a loss. He is obviously a newcomer. I don't know if it's time to remind everyone not to smoke indoors and protect the environment, or to endure the boss's attentive smile and generous tip when the guests came in just now?

"Why?" Yu Jingzhong finally raised his head and gestured to the empty teacup in front of him: "Pour it down."

It was fine that he didn't speak, but when he raised his head, the little brother was frightened. I saw bloodshot under the eyes, stubble on the chin, scratches on the neck muscles, brand-name shirts wrinkled like a stall on the floor; this image is a living history of the suffering of the three northeastern provinces, half a century of vicissitudes. written on the face.

The waiter stammered: "First, sir, smoking is not allowed in our box..."

"I'll do it." Chu He got up and took the teapot from him, his movements soft and undeniable: "You go down first."

The waiter hesitated for a moment and silently retreated to the door, but the door was not fully closed. Chu He didn't care, he filled Yu Fu with Tie Guanyin himself, and asked, "Why do you think of asking me, shouldn't you go to Zhou Hui for this kind of thing?"

Yu Jingzhong held the cigarette between his fingers, and rubbed his temples irritably: "I asked Zhou Hui long ago, but he didn't agree. Damn, you are urging me to hurry up at this time. Is it fun to watch my funeral?"

"Hurry up on what?"

"Yan Lanyu!"

Chu He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Although I don't recommend you to do this, I don't agree with your request to delete Yan Lanyu's memory last night. Having said that, why do you want to interfere with Yan Lanyu's memory, but you want to keep your own? ?"

Yu Jingzhong put out the cigarette butt, lit another one with a sullen face, and took a deep breath.

"If I hadn't known each other for so long, I would almost have thought that you were a scumbag who didn't confess... Although it's not too far away now." Chu He seemed to be quite interested and asked, "Do you have any special reason? If If you can convince me, it's not without room for change."

Yu Fu finally raised his eyes from the curling white smoke - the man's appearance is also very sad, and the forehead tattoo came out immediately: "I don't want him to die for me a third time, is this the reason?"

Chu He wondered, "Oh?"

"The first time he saw me, he almost died; the second time he saw me, he almost died. Fourth, you and Zhou Hui have lived for thousands of years, and you know what it means to face death. Do you know what it feels like? Especially when you put yourself in a situation where you face death with your own hands like a sacrifice. Do you know what it feels like?"

"I really know," Chu He laughed, looking down at the steaming heat in the teacup: "But only for my own children... This is not the point, you continue to say."

"Let me tell you, this child has been living in a place like Tantric Sect for too long, and he can grab a little bit of normal body temperature as a life-saving straw. I'm not as good as he imagined, I'm just an ordinary person , but in the first ten years of his life, he never saw ordinary people, so when he saw one by chance, he felt that it was too rare, and he thought he fell in love regardless of his own life, which is all an illusion."

"Are you feeling inferior?" Chu He asked with a smile.

"I just have a clear understanding of myself," Yu Jingzhong pointed to himself, and said, "If I were a little mean, I would just hang out with him. Anyway, I took Minmin and I didn't plan to look for it again. Let’s talk about a few years or more. But Yan Lanyu doesn’t know what he’s doing now. In the future, he will grow up, mature, and know more people. If you look back at me, you will feel that he has grown older all these years. Dog. The best time of his life was wasted on me."

Chu He was still smiling, "Then why don't you also delete your own memory?"

Yu Jingzhong scratched his neck and waved his hand, saying: "In short, let him forget about it, I will send him to a good school, get to know more about his peers, and don't care whether to find a girl to have a baby or a man in the future. As long as I live and see him happy, I can close my eyes when he dies. As for the things I left behind, he and Minmin share equally. Fortunately, after the mortgage is repaid, it is easy to sell…”

"I can accept this reason reluctantly," Chu He said, "but I still feel that you have deprived him of the right to make choices now. The choices people make instinctively when they are confused and ignorant are not necessarily wrong."

Yu Jingzhong glanced at him with a complex look of "you can't understand", then lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

His cigarette case was placed on the table, Chu He stretched out his hand to smoke one, not in a hurry, put it in his hand and slowly turned around. This is good for poor civil servants. The cigarettes are all specially provided by the above. If they are sold on Taobao, it is estimated that they will earn a lot of money - unfortunately, they are all smoked by themselves.

"When I chose Zhou Hui..." Chu He said slowly, "I chose it under these circumstances."

Yu Jingzhong said: "Zhou Hui told me that because he was so handsome that the world was shaking and weeping, you stopped fighting when you saw him, and as soon as he proposed, you agreed. From then on, both of them returned to the rivers and lakes together and only envied the mandarin ducks, not the immortals... Shit, I knew I shouldn't trust him."

"It's true that he agreed as soon as he begged me," Chu He said with a smile: "And his image of cultivating a human body is indeed... The sea of ​​​​blood may not be able to produce one like this for thousands of years, even their boss Demon Venerable... This is not the point. already."

He snapped a cigarette, and Yu Jingzhong took a sip in his extremely surprised eyes.

When he was still the leader of Feng Si's team before, the aloof status of the Phoenix Ming King cut off all the worldly atmosphere, let alone smoking, hiccupping and coughing were unimaginable things. However, now with a seemingly ordinary and indifferent face, slender fingers are holding a cigarette, and the curling white mist blocks the vision under the eyelashes, and the angle of the slightly side can give people a very strange feeling.

"I originally knelt down in front of the Buddha on the day he proposed..." Chu He said leisurely, "It happened that a King Ming of Tantric came over again and insisted on persuading me to marry his sister. This person has been pestering me like this for a long time, and I really don't like it. Be patient, but he is one of the five authentic kings of Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to refute him face to face... At this time, news came from Liulitian that the blood sea demons were attacking the door again, so I went out to watch the battle. "

"Zhou Hui was one of the demon generals in that war. He rushed to the gate of heaven on the battlefield and asked me if I would like to go with him. At that time, everyone around, including the King Ming and his sister, was there, and I suddenly came up against my bones. , promised Zhou Hui."

Chu He let out a breath of smoke, and said indifferently: "But this is just one of the fuses. At that time, I had a lot of doubts about the Dao of Heaven because of some things. Suspicion, anger and resentment tormented me all the time. , so agreeing to Zhou Hui in one bite is not so much love at first sight, but a rebellious act of revenge against Heaven under the influence of inner demons."

"..." Yu Jingzhong trembled, "so you..."

"In the beginning, I slept as a buddy for many years. Sometimes I close my six senses, so it doesn't matter." Chu He said, "I'm sorry for ruining the last bit of your perception of Buddhism. I'm sorry."

Yu Jingzhong's hand trembled a little while holding the cigarette. He took a sip of tea and covered his face.

"However, even at the worst start, it is possible to change the script in the middle and become a story that is only suitable for you although it is not satisfactory." Chu He paused and said, "When people are at their lowest and confused, The choices you make are not necessarily incorrect, and based on my own experience and views, I don't think you should force others to the so-called 'right way' by suppressing yourself."

Yu Jingzhong lowered his head, his angular face was hazy in the smell of cigarettes and tea.

"This is my whole life..." He said slowly after a long while, "I can't gamble with the life of a teenager. It's too selfish."

Chu He's expression looked a little helpless: "Since you think so, then I will ask Zhou Hui to talk to Brother Yan. You should also smoke less and don't learn from Zhou Hui. He has lung cancer and just change it, you Change too?"

- Team leader Feng Si really rarely persuades people like this. Normally, King Ming always asks whether you are taking refuge or not? Only those who do not convert will be killed, only if he skips this step and shoots directly. In the early years, the Great Demon of the Sea of ​​Blood asked him why he was punished for not teaching him. He said, what does it have to do with me if you convert or not? I respect your freedom to choose your own beliefs.

So he can persuade such a sentence, it is as strange as Zhou Hui nagging behind him for three days.

Yu Jingzhong cupped his hands and was about to say something when his phone rang.

"Yo," he glanced at the number and said strangely, "It's a first-level emergency, it's strange."

With an apologetic gesture, he picked up his phone and walked to the door. When he went out, he hesitated for a while, remembering that Zhou Hui had said before he came out that he could not leave Chu He alone, not even a minute - when he turned around, he saw Chu He was playing with his phone with a cigarette in his head, and looked up innocently. He glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

The phone rang loudly, Yu Jingzhong waved his hand hastily and walked out.

·

The box door slammed shut, Chu He sat in that position for a while, and put down his phone gently.

At this time, the door was knocked twice, and the waiter asked outside the door, "Sir, do you want to pay the bill?"

"Don't buy it," Chu He said lightly, "I've paid for it myself for so many years, and occasionally I want others to buy it."

The waiter walked in, closed the door with his backhand, and went straight to the back of Chu He's chair. His ordinary face was still smiling slightly, but the skin behind his ears and under his neck had begun to curl, like a layer of inferior adhesive tape, and as the smile got bigger, it slowly rolled and fell.

He stretched out his hand—the muscles in his hand were unimaginably firm, and the bones were protruding and powerful, even giving people a ferocious feeling.

The next second, the cigarette in Chu He's hand was easily smoked by the "waiter". He took it to his mouth and took a sip. He leaned into his ear and smiled softly: "Then I'll buy it for you."

"Fan Luo," Chu He said expressionlessly, "you are too bold."

The epidermis on the "waiter"'s face was finally completely torn apart, revealing the true face of the Demon Venerable with black lines. He put one hand on Chu He's shoulder, and with such force that even his bones protruded, he returned the cigarette to him with the other, but Chu He pressed it out on the table.

"It turns out that King Ming of the third generation once wanted to marry the Snow Mountain Goddess to you." Fan Luo didn't care about his behavior, but showed great interest in the story just now: "This kind of twisted mind is really worth investigating... Later, the Snow Mountain Goddess How's it going?"

"Zhou Hui seduced her, and the two soon broke up. She came to assassinate me out of resentment, and after she failed, she fell into the six realms of reincarnation. I don't know where she went... Don't look at me with that kind of eyes," Chu He Lazily said: "In those years, I sealed my five senses and six senses, and I was the same as a corpse that only breathes."

"It should be a very beautiful and attractive corpse." Fan Luo touched his chin and said, "Don't you even bother to know what will happen to you?"

Chu He waved his hand, looking a little lethargic, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Yu Jingzhong was still on the phone outside, not knowing what was going on urgently, and there was no sign of coming back.

Fan Luo was not afraid of being discovered at all, and pulled out the chair very leisurely. From this point of view, half of his strength that was sealed by Zhou Hui had almost recovered. The moment he sat down, Chu He was swept away by the powerful demons on his body. Breath forced his face down.

As his strength recovered more and more, his fear of Zhou Hui became less and less, and his last subtle scruples towards Chu He almost disappeared.

"I'm here to apologize to you," Demon Venerable smiled and said politely, "I didn't ask Asura to arrest you in the Four Evil Realms, it's the result of their own arguing—and your ex-husband's criticism was right, If I want you to go to the demon world, I must come out and do it myself to show my respect for you."

The demonic breath he exuded was indeed too heavy, Chu He slightly leaned back on his upper body, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you want to do something with me, Fan Luo?"

"I've heard people say that you have to go in person to show enough attention to the wedding, otherwise the other party may refuse or go around in circles with you. You and I have been going around in circles for several years, and after Mahathir came out of the grotto, he turned his face and refused. My appearance may be because of my lack of sincerity."

The Demon Venerable reached out and grabbed Chu He's wrist. The black mist turned into the flesh like a snake, and turned into a spider web-like black blood thread that settled under the skin, and Chu He's complexion changed slightly.

"That's why I'm here to pick you up now, Phoenix Ming King." The Demon Venerable stood up and bowed in a gentlemanly manner, and said, "It doesn't matter if you want to treat it as a kiss."

Chu He immediately retreated before he finished speaking, but Demon Venerable moved faster than him. I saw that he followed Chu He's retreating pace and pressed close, and the distance between the two sides could not be opened by half a meter.

With a thud, Chu He hit the back of his head against the wall and shouted, "Let go!"

Demon Venerable didn't let it go, looked at him coldly and said, "Have you underestimated my strength, His Royal Highness Duke Ming?"

There was a thud where he was standing, and the floor tiles burst open, and the cracks quickly spread around—that was the reason why the magic breath was so powerful that it turned into substance and instantly corroded everything around him.

Chu He's face finally changed at this time: "You don't have my heart blood, what is this... Could it be Maha?!"

To see such an expression on this face is actually a very pleasing thing. The Demon Venerable admired it for a while, and then said leisurely: "Don't worry, your little brat is staying in the sea of ​​​​blood, and he has already made himself the overlord of the sea of ​​​​blood. As for me, how can I do it before I have full confidence in you? Appearing in the human world easily?"

Chu He's breathing paused for a moment, and looked at Demon Venerable in the small space.

The sound of people coming and going in the teahouse and walking onto the water could be heard from outside the door, but it couldn't be heard through the door, but it seemed that the air on this side was terribly tense. After a long while, Chu He's posture finally softened, and he said coldly, "You can't handle me, Zhou Hui is much faster than you."

With his free hand, he unbuttoned his shirt, one by one from top to bottom, until the shoulder bones and front chest were exposed.

A look of surprise appeared on the Demon Venerable's face—I saw nine forbidden words written in ink from the end of his collarbone to the front of his heart, each of which had sharp bones and teeth in different shapes, and together they formed a beast-like beast. The image of prostrating and choosing people to pounce.

"All nine doors on my body are sealed, all three souls and seven souls are stunned, and my waist bone also crosses a ring lock. As long as I go out of the door of the human world, the ban will explode in front of the door boundary monument, and this person will be bombed on the spot. die… "

A look of sarcasm and self-deprecation appeared in Chu He's eyes: "Do you know the difference now? - Sometimes I wonder how it was you, not Zhou Hui, who became the master of the four evil ways back then, and he did everything to the extreme. Your ability is much stronger than yours."

Demon Venerable reached out to touch the restraint on his skin, narrowed his eyes and was about to say something, when suddenly the sound of Yu Jingzhong's footsteps came from behind the box door.

It was definitely not a good idea to meet Zhou Hui head-on at this time, the Demon Venerable let go and took a half step back.

"Bone locks won't work, but the nine gates can be broken if they are blocked... I originally wanted to get you away before the next thing happened, but it should be too late now."

The doorknob of the box twisted, and the corner of Demon Venerable's lips twitched, and he joked, "This time, let's let Zhou Hui's old lover trick you."

The figure of Demon Venerable quickly disappeared into the air, and at the same time, Yu Jingzhong pushed in the door.

The table in the box was a mess, and the tea was sprinkled all over the floor. Chu He pressed his back against the wall and buttoned his shirts one by one.

Yu Fu was stunned and said, "—what's the matter with you?"

"I fell." Chu He buttoned up his shirt, obviously unwilling to explain more: "What, is there something wrong with you?"

Yu Jingzhong felt that something was wrong, but the situation did not allow him to waste time, so he had to let this problem go first.

"Yes, someone died in the family of a senior official of the Military Commission. He died very strangely." He shook his phone, and seemed a little helpless: "Zhou Hui is already on his way... Ask me to go over and return you to him immediately."
