The sky was dark, the bus was stuck on the road, and it was raining outside. Chi Xiaoduo used Kodak's headphones to listen to each other while unpacking snacks.
"You are so anxious." Da Ke said, "Qiu You, can you stop frowning all the time?"
Chi Xiaoduo made a gloomy expression: "Do you think Xiang Cheng can survive?"
Da Da shrugged, and Chi Xiaoduo said: "But I suddenly remembered that if Xiang Cheng didn't pass, then I'm playing a ghost."
"But if you don't go, Xiang Cheng will pass again, won't you regret it to death?" Keda said.
Chi Xiaoduo used probability calculations to make calculations, all kinds of heartaches, Koda said again: "Dr. Chen helped you apply for the name?"
"That's right." Chi Xiaoduo said.
Chen Zhen coughed from behind, but Da Ke immediately stopped talking.
Chi Xiaoduo: "??"
Chi Xiaoduo suddenly remembered that this was Chen Zhen's first cut and then playing, and he signed up for him, suddenly got up, looked at Chen Zhen, Chen Zhen pointed out the window to let Chen Lang watch the rain, breathed on the car window, and drew a villain playing with his brother . Chen Zhen took the time to glance at Chi Xiaoduo with warning eyes, motioning him to sit back.
Chi Xiaoduo understood immediately, and thought to himself, you people are smart! Sure enough, it's different in mixed business units! Chen Zhen, did you release Xiang Cheng? Or do you already know that he passed the exam? No wonder! Because he knew that he would definitely go, so he made a claim and signed himself up to be a hostage? !
Chi Xiaoduo wanted to hug Chen Zhen's head and kiss him, but since this move could easily cause misunderstandings, he finally only blew a kiss to him, and no longer worried about Xiang Cheng's problems.
Chen Lang also blew a kiss to Chi Xiaoduo, and Chi Xiaoduo blew kisses at him wildly.
"Enough is enough for you two!" Koda said angrily, "Sit down! Don't move around!"
Da Ke grabbed Chi Xiaoduo and sat back on his seat.
The bus was half-dead, crawling at a slow speed, when Wang Lei entered the train station, he was singing to cheer up the atmosphere, and was scolded by the driver of a car, Chi Xiaoduo thought how brave he was, he was not afraid of being punished for driving in such a car die
It was raining heavily outside, everyone got out of the car and ran all the way, entered the waiting room, Chen Zhen went to get the ticket, Chen Lang went out for the first time, curiously touched everything, wanted to touch everything, just approached Chi Xiaoduo was scared out of his wits when the water stove was turned on, and he dragged him back with all his might.
"Everyone get ready to get in the car!" Chen Zhen shouted, "Hurry up! There are still fifteen minutes!"
"I'll leave it to you." Koda put the bag on Chi Xiaoduo's back, turned Chen Lang around, and let Chi Xiaoduo pull him.
"See you the day after tomorrow!"
"See you the day after tomorrow!"
Chen Zhen and Keda waved, and Chi Xiaoduo screamed, "Aren't you going?!"
"Come on." Wang Lei, wearing a little red hat, shouted outside the ticket gate, "The hostages are here, the hostages are here—"
Chen Zhen handed the trumpet to Wang Lei. Wang Lei cleared his throat and said loudly, "The hostages, please gather here!"
In an instant, the entire hall was silent.
"People..." Realizing that there were special police officers, Wang Lei hurriedly changed his words to speak in a fluent Northeast accent, "What are you doing hania, hurry up and assemble! Students of Renzhi Academy!!"
So "classmates" of different ages, old and young, followed Wang Lei on the train.
Everyone slept on hard sleepers, and it took eighteen hours to get to Ulanhot. Obviously, Chen Lang was given special care. Wang Lei slept on the upper bunk, Chi Xiaoduo slept on the middle bunk, and Chen Lang slept on the lower bunk.
After tossing and tossing all day, Chi Xiaoduo was sleepy to death, took out the thermos, poured soup and rice for Chen Lang, thought that he would see Xiang Cheng tomorrow, and fell asleep happily.
In the dark night, it was raining heavily in the whole city of Beijing, and the bus was driving fast on the highway. Xiang Cheng leaned on the window of the car, watching the rainwater dripping from the window. Qi Wei was holding an ipad and watching a movie with headphones.
The following evening:
"People...students from Renzhi Academy." Wang Lei said, "Everyone can take a breath of fresh air first, exercise a bit, don't run around, and avoid getting separated!"
Chi Xiaoduo and Chen Lang stood on the side of the road to urinate, Chi Xiaoduo was falling apart in his sleep, and Chen Lang was so excited that he picked a stone with beautiful patterns and showed it to Chi Xiaoduo, Chi Xiaoduo was boring He smacked his lips and nodded.
Chen Lang pointed to his ring again, pointing to the distance, Chi Xiaoduo understood what he meant, he felt that Chen Zhen was coming soon.
Is it so amazing? Chi Xiaoduo thought, so Xiang Cheng can also sense it when he puts on the ring
The bus came, so everyone got on the bus again and drove all the way to the depths of the mountains.
The forest in Aer Mountain stretches continuously, connecting with Daxing'an Mountains, and the dark forest seems to hide countless ghosts and ghosts. According to Wang Lei, they will spend three days here to assist the exorcists to complete the practical assessment. The practice is divided into three sessions.
At 9:30 in the evening, the bus stopped outside a resort, it was the off-season, the dogs in the resort were barking, and the houses were all dark, Chi Xiaoduo got off the bus tremblingly, protecting Chen Lang behind him. It felt like I was in a ghost shop.
All the forty hostages got out of the bus, and the bus drove away. Wang Lei took him inside, called the boss, and then the lights on the first floor came on. After eating, everyone drew lots. Chi Xiaoduo and Chen Lang were drawn into the first group, and because of Chen Zhen's special greeting, they were assigned to the same room.
"Wow!" Chi Xiaoduo didn't expect that in such a resort, the treatment is quite good, with wooden floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can see the mountains outside when you open the curtains. As soon as you enter the room, Chi Xiaoduo rushes to bed, Jumped a few times.
Chen Lang also followed, and the two jumped up and down on the bed.
Chi Xiaoduo gestured to him to come down quickly, Chen Lang jumped down, and opened and closed the drawers one by one in the room.
[It's great to come out and play! !]Chen Lang took out a pen and paper, rarely used two exclamation marks, and added, [It would be even better if my brother was here! ! ! ! ! ! ] There were actually eight exclamation points, Chi Xiaoduo was eating snacks after dinner, thinking to himself that it seemed really fun.
Chi Xiaoduo: [It would be great if Xiang Cheng was here.]
Chen Lang: [They will come tomorrow. They are in the first group. I just peeked at Teacher Wang's list.]Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Chen Lang: [He still doesn't know that I saw it.]
Chi Xiaoduo shouted: "Long live!" Then he started dancing on the bed, and Chen Lang followed suit. That night Chi Xiaoduo turned on the TV and watched ghost movies with Chen Lang for a while, and found that there are too many bugs in ghost movies these days, for example, the lantern ghost obviously has two eyes, and the way the female ghost moves is not crawling at all. Isn't it better to use floating, and the face of the zombie should be blue instead of green... The screenwriter is too unprofessional, why don't you write a play after researching it.
The two complained for a while, Chen Lang had to watch the screen saver after the TV show for an hour, Chi Xiaoduo was so sleepy that he fell asleep unknowingly.
In the early morning of the next day, Chi Xiaoduo hugged the quilt, fell asleep, and dreamed of Xiang Cheng.
Chen Lang shook Chi Xiaoduo awake, and Chi Xiaoduo bounced up. He quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face. We will see Xiang Cheng today! Where's the ring? Where's the ring? Where is my ring
Chi Xiaoduo rummaged through the box, found a small bag and put it in his pocket, and hurried downstairs, the rain outside had stopped, Wang Lei said outside the door: "The whole practice session will take a day and a night, everyone should eat enough, starting in the afternoon, we will Handed over to the team of exorcists who drew lots to protect the hostages."
Chi Xiaoduo got the eggs, got into an off-road vehicle with Chen Lang, and opened a soda can for him. There was no place to throw the garbage, so he had to put the tab in his pocket. Chi Xiaoduo fell into a drowsy sleep, only knowing that the car was on the mountain Bumping back and forth, turning towards an inexplicable place.
"Hostages, please get out of the car." The driver of the off-road vehicle was from the Foreign Aid Department. When he got off, he specially gave Chi Xiaoduo two bottles of Red Bull and said, "The minister asked me to bring them to you."
Chi Xiaoduo was carrying a plastic bag filled with fruit and Red Bull, holding Chen Lang in one hand, and followed the foreign aid up the mountain.
The primordial forest stretching across North China and Northeast China for hundreds of millions of years is quiet, except for the occasional chirping of birds and the lingering mist in the forest. Chi Xiaoduo said to Chen Lang: [If I leave here alone, I might not even be able to find my way home. ] Chen Lang: [What a beautiful place, what kind of tree is this?]
[Pine tree bar.]
[What kind of flower is this?]Chen Lang bent down to look at the flowers on the side of the road.
[I don't know, let's go, it's too late.]Chi Xiaoduo said in simple sign language.
"Okay! Everyone come here to gather!" Wang Lei shouted with a loudspeaker.
[Look at the foot of the mountain!]Chen Lang pulled Chi Xiaoduo and said, [They are here!]
Chi Xiaoduo looked down the mountain, and there was a row of military trucks below, carrying the exorcists taking the practical exam slowly up the mountain.
"Everyone come here." Wang Lei said, "Don't eat the fruit, and stand according to the lottery."
In front of me is a three-meter-high, thick brick wall.
Another off-road vehicle stopped, and a few people came down from it, namely Lafayette, a tall, thin, pale man, Chi Xiaoduo remembered that his name was Master Qiao, and an old man wearing sunglasses.
"Teacher Zheng." Master Qiao helped him out of the car. The old man was dressed in the Republic of China costume, wearing a black hat, a long gown, and two round sunglasses.
"Come and take a look." Master Qiao said, "This is Chen Zhen's younger brother, Xiao Lang."
Chi Xiaoduo hurriedly led Xiao Lang over, and while waiting for the exorcist, Wang Lei moved out two folding chairs and let them sit there.
The old man wearing sunglasses put down his crutches and stretched out his hand. Chi Xiaoduo handed Chen Lang's hand into the old man's hand, but the old man Zheng waved his hand, took Chi Xiaoduo's fingers, raised his head slightly, and stroked him thoughtfully. finger.
"You avoid it for a while." Teacher Zheng said.
The people around left separately, leaving Teacher Zheng, Chi Xiaoduo and Chen Lang behind the car.
"I also… "
"You stay." Teacher Zheng's voice was very steady, his old hands were dry and cool that are unique to the elderly, then he waved to Chen Lang, and then held Chen Lang's hand.
"Kiss..." Teacher Zheng murmured, "The Burning Lamp Family, um, I understand."
Chi Xiaoduo remembered that Chen Zhen told him that during the exam period, a senior senior would come to help Chen Lang look into his eyes, and it should be Teacher Zheng.
Chen Lang was full of doubts. He looked at Chi Xiaoduo. Chi Xiaoduo knelt on one knee, so as not to be impolite when talking to his seniors, so Chen Lang also knelt down.
"Hey." The old man smiled to himself, speaking fluently, "It's not easy, where did you get Long Tong?"
"I...forgot." Based on Xiang Cheng's report, Chi Xiaoduo made a generalization and said, "Why do you have it too? And Xiao Lang..."
Teacher Zheng raised his hand, waved it slightly, faced Chen Lang, touched his head, and said: "Xiao Lang, right, Long Tong is a good thing, God is sympathetic to you, let your friend bring it to you That's it. Okay, let's do it like this from now on, you won't see anything, just live well."
"Can't see it?" Chi Xiaoduo asked, "Can't you see something strange?"
"Hmm." Teacher Zheng nodded and said, "The thing engraved on the Pisces jade pendant is tangible, but has no spirit. The power is still in your eyes. What enters his brow chakra is just a superficial form."
"But last time... Xiao Lang saw it too, didn't he?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"You are with him." Teacher Zheng explained, "Of course I saw it. If you are not here, his eyes will not work. He can see the outer world but not the inner world."
"Ah?" Chi Xiaoduo said, "How many meters away does it take effect?"
"Don't be nervous." Teacher Zheng said, "Isn't this good? When you two are not together, his eyes can only see the sky, the earth, the sea and everything, and he can't see ghosts and monsters."
"Oh—" Chi Xiaoduo said with relief, "Then what is the principle?"
Teacher Zheng replied: "Dragon souls cannot be copied. The dragon pupils that Chi Kiss gave you contain dragon souls. However, its power can be copied, so in Xiao Lang's eyes, there is only power, which you can see clearly." Clearer, soulless."
Chi Xiaoduo understood, and Teacher Zheng said: "You two go back and tell Chen Zhen, don't worry, and don't think about opening your mouth anymore. If you hear it, this is everyone's blessing. If you can get to this point, you are almost the same. gone."
"Okay, okay." Chi Xiaoduo nodded hurriedly.
"It's you..." Teacher Zheng took off his sunglasses.
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
There was a swirling golden light in the old man's eyes, exactly like his eyes.
"Where did this come from?" Chi Xiaoduo asked cautiously.
"Long Tong." Teacher Zheng replied, "Isn't this the same as yours? If you change the color, you won't be able to recognize it?"
Chi Xiaoduo was dumbfounded, and the old man said again: "I was sixteen years old and gave it to me after saving that big guy in Kunlun Mountain."
"What's the use?" Chi Xiaoduo said, "Can you see monsters too?"
"That's not possible." The old man shook his head and replied, "I can see other things, it doesn't matter. Little friend, you have to learn to hide this dragon pupil, otherwise it will be dangerous. Peaceful."
Chi Xiaoduo nodded, before he could speak, Teacher Zheng took his hand and said, "Think about how you got this dragon pupil first."
Chi Xiaoduo: "I've smelled Lihun pollen, but I can't remember it."
"What about now?" Teacher Zheng's eyes were fixed on Chi Xiaoduo's pupils, which emitted a golden light, and the soft golden light enveloped Chi Xiaoduo's field of vision.
"Now?!" Teacher Zheng patted Chi Xiaoduo's palm and shouted, "Come back to me!"
In an instant, countless memory fragments flooded into my mind, Chi Kiss's dying gasp, a green light came, Xiang Cheng's fight with the ghost car, and in the spring night, Chi Xiaoduo turned around and kissed Xiang Cheng.
Chi Xiaoduo shuddered and remembered everything.
"Now I remember." Teacher Zheng put on his sunglasses and laughed.
Chi Xiaoduo woke up like a dream, and there was a burst of thunder.
"I'll teach you this trick again." Teacher Zheng drew a rune on Chi Xiaoduo's palm and said, "Remember?"
"I remember." Chi Xiaoduo nodded hurriedly.
"Go back and practice." Teacher Zheng said, "Think about this talisman if you have nothing to do, turn it around in your heart, and then turn it along the main soul to the eyebrow wheel, it can hide your dragon pupil."
Chi Xiaoduo said: "But I still don't understand why Chi Kiss gave me its eyes."
Teacher Zheng patted the back of Chi Xiaoduo's hand and said, "That dragon likes you, loves you, and is afraid that you will be bullied when you grow up. Did you go to see it with other people?"
"It seems... yes." Chi Xiaoduo said.
Teacher Zheng said, "Is that your daughter-in-law?"
Chi Xiaoduo: "No... that's not true."
Teacher Zheng said, "What did the dragon ask you before it died?"
"I didn't say anything." Chi Xiaoduo replied.
"Did it ask you, is there anyone you like?" Teacher Zheng's eyes seemed to see through Chi Xiaoduo's heart, and the corners of Chi Xiaoduo's mouth twitched, and he replied, "Yes, I told you!"
"The old man guesses that the person you like is a hard-headed person, or an individual monster. Longzi is afraid that you will be bullied by other monsters in the future." Teacher Zheng said with a smile, "That's it. A soul is guarding you on your body, lest you be caught by your family, the east wind overwhelms the west wind, it's nothing... yo! Why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry!"
"Yeah." Chi Xiaoduo's eyes turned red instantly.
Teacher Zheng smiled again, and patted the heads of Chi Xiaoduo and Chen Lang: "They are all good boys, let's all go, the exam has to start."
Teacher Zheng got up, carried the ponytail, and went to the other side of the car, where several teachers were standing, Lafayette hurriedly said: "Mr. Zheng, sit down."
Teacher Zheng leaned on crutches as if nothing had happened, and said, "Xiao Rou."
"Hey." Lafayette said.
Teacher Zheng waved his hand to let Chi Xiaoduo and Chen Lang go away so as not to waste time.
Under the brick wall, all the hostages gathered and lined up. Wang Lei blew his whistle, and Zhou Maoguo's voice came from across the brick wall.
"Attention all exorcists, assemble."
Chi Xiaoduo's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that Xiang Cheng was also there.
"Chi Xiaoduo, take off Chen Lang's ring." Wang Lei said.
Laughter sounded from the other side of the brick wall, hahahahahaha, as if mocking Chen Zhen, and Da Ke's voice said: "Director Chen, want to cheat? There is no way!"
Zhou Wanyuan: "Xiang Daxian, don't cheat—"
Zhou Maoguo coughed, and the other side became quiet.
