The Husky and His White Cat Shizun

The first large courtyard on the east side, as Rong Jiu said, it has three floors up and down, each floor is room next to room, although it is the largest, it is also the most messy, there is an old tree at the entrance of the courtyard, with countless dead crows perched on it , each crow has an eyeball in its mouth, spinning wildly around, scanning the strange shapes around.

Two small groups of Yin soldiers shuttled back and forth, kicking and stamping, guarding the "tributes" that were going to be presented to the four ghost kings.

Mo Ran turned sideways and hid behind the turn, while calculating the path of these ghosts, while looking at the blind corners of the palace.

Those small grid-like rooms are all lit up, and from time to time, there are ghosts crying, sighing, hoarse and mocking together.

There are roughly more than 300 rooms here, and the patrol below is repeated for each cup of tea. It is absolutely impossible for him to find Chu Wanning easily within the effort of a cup of tea, not to mention the fact that there are still many people on the stairs at each floor. There is a ghost guard standing, holding a soul breaking whip and a martial law whistle around his neck.

Mo Ran was secretly anxious. At this time, he suddenly saw a ghost walking alone in the distance. He had a token with black background and red letters hanging around his waist, and he was wearing the same clothes as those guards.Mo Ran hid in the dark, watching him walk in front of him to the stairs.

The ghost and the guard standing beside the steps nodded.The night was very quiet, so Mo Ran easily heard their conversation.

"Brother Seven, are you here for the third job?"

"Well. You're coming too."

"I have to stay for a while, the man hasn't come yet. I will rest when he comes."

The Yin soldiers who changed the guard went upstairs, and the guard on the first floor yawned boredly, and continued to guard against the wind.

Seeing them handing over like this, Mo Ran suddenly had an idea and thought of a risky idea...

There were three or two bangs of clappers in the distance, duk duk duk.

The crow on the branch yelled "Wow - wow -" twice, as if it had noticed something strange.

The guard guarding the entrance woke up, looked around, and saw a figure walking slowly in the thin night fog.

As he got closer, he realized that it was a young man he had never seen before, and the guards became more vigilant.

"who?"

"Come to change the guard." The man said.

The red cloud drifted past, revealing a round of moonlight in the sky, illuminating his face, what a handsome ghost guard.

But his facial features are tall and straight, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are full of natural affection. Who is this "ghost" who came to change the guard if it is not Mo Ran?

He didn't know where to get a piece of armor from the Yin Soldier, and he put it on his body, the black and red badge dangling around his waist, and the martial law whistle hung on his chest, emitting a cold silver light.

"I haven't seen you before," said the guard.

"newcomer."

The guard stretched out his hand suspiciously: "Brand?"

Mo Ran untied the sign and handed it to him.His face remained motionless, but his heart was tense to the extreme.

Fortunately, the guard looked at the badge many times, and didn't notice anything wrong, so he didn't bother to bother, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The rest of the night depends on you, I'm going home."

"Senior, let's go."

The senior called Shu Tan, and the ghost gave a strange giggle and waved his hand: "Good boy, goodbye, goodbye."

"Hey...Senior, wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?" the guard turned around.

Mo Ran smiled, and asked very naturally: "Among this batch of tributes, how many people have the surname Chu?"

The ghost guard was a little wary: "Why are you asking this?"

"Ask Mr. Chu in Shunfeng Building." Mo Ran said, "He has a distant relative, and he said he came down too. But Shunfeng Building couldn't find him, I don't know if he is here."

Sure enough, Chu Xun's reputation was still a bit intimidating. The guard hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the second floor: "The three rooms in the innermost one are all named Chu. You can go and have a look."

Mo Ran smiled and said: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

"You're welcome." The senior was very stupid, "It should."

After the guard finished speaking, he hummed a little tune and walked away leisurely. When he passed the corner, he didn't realize that the real colleague who was supposed to change the guard with him had already been bound by the forbidden spell and thrown into the gutter.The poor ghost's armor was stripped off, his thin clothes were exposed, his eyes were full of anger, but his mouth was completely blocked, he couldn't even hum, he could only sulk.

Mo Ran was not at ease with Rong Jiu, although those "tributes" who were not selected were grouped and locked in the side hall, and no one was guarding them. They only cast a forbidden curse outside, but it was not guaranteed that there would be Yin soldiers patrolling.Because of Rong Jiu's loathing for him, he will definitely reveal his whereabouts when the time comes.

Without further delay, it must be resolved quickly.

Mo Ran stood there for a while, and when the wave of soldiers walking back and forth passed by, he immediately dodged and went straight to the second floor. There was also a guard standing on the second floor, crossing the spear to stop Mo Ran.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"I'm the new guard changing today. I'm on the first floor."

The guard frowned: "Then you just stay on the first floor, what are you doing on my floor?"

Mo Ran still brought Chu Xun as a stepping stone, but instead of buying his account, the guard said sharply: "Even if it is Mr. Chu in Shunfeng Tower? As long as he enters the palace, it will belong to the four kings. If he wants to save his relatives, he can talk to the Fourth King himself. I won't take this matter!"

Mo Ran secretly complained, thinking that this guy is much smarter than the one downstairs, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "I don't have to take him away today. But I have to see if I made a mistake. people?"

"It's not easy to handle? You told me your name, and I'll check it for you. Why do you need to go in?"

"..." Mo Ran felt extremely anxious, suppressed his anger, and said, "Chu Wanning. His name is Chu Wanning."

The guards were going to check the list, but after hearing these three words, they dropped the list instead.

Seeing him like this, Mo Ran suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and asked, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"What's the problem?" The guard asked back with a sneer, and then said, "You really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. The four kings came to the palace today to enjoy the beauties, and they have already taken a fancy to this Immortal Chu. If it wasn't for this person's first seven days, The three souls haven't gathered yet, so they can't be taken to the fourth floor of hell, I'm afraid he will be sacrificed to the ghost king tonight. You want him from me? What's wrong with you?"

When Mo Ran heard half of it, his face was ashen. After the guard finished speaking, he said for a long time: "Did the four ghost kings take a fancy to him?"

"how?"

"...Nothing. Forget it, bothering you." Mo Ran turned around gloomyly, took two steps downstairs, and before the other party could react, Shen Wu had already condensed in the palm of his hand, and suddenly turned over and strangled Guard the neck!

The red light is dazzling and flashes by.

The so-called supernatural power can injure ghosts and kill gods, the guard only had time to see the scarlet willow leaves fluttering in front of him, and heard the new young man say angrily: "You really dare not rob people with the king of ghosts! "Then he lost his mind in an instant and fell unconscious on the ground.

Mo Ran raised his hand to cast a spell, tied him tightly, sealed his mouth, kicked him aside, and ran to the end of the aisle impatiently.

The three rooms at the end are all lonely souls with the surname Chu.

But Mo Ran didn't know why, as if he felt something in his heart, he didn't even realize why he had such a strange feeling, so he slammed the door open, panting slightly because he ran too fast, Stand still in front of the second small pavilion.

He was panting, a strand of fine black long hair fell in front of his eyes, he forgot to brush it away, and just stared inside——

What Rong Jiu said was good.

This is a single room about the size of an animal cage, the walls are desolate, and everything is gray and white like death.

Only the person inside looked very warm, like a flame in the vast and cold white.

Not every "tribute" is bound, at least not in Chu Wanning.Perhaps because he had already been favored by the Four Kings, the guards did not dare to offend him. The floor of his room was even covered with snow-white animal skin blankets, which were thick and soft, like fresh snow in midwinter.

Chu WanNing lay on the felt and fell asleep.This person seems to be resolute and courageous, but in fact, he is always a little restless in his heart. This is most obvious when he is asleep. He is always used to curling up and shrinking himself to a very small size.

It seems that he is warming himself, and he seems to be afraid of taking up someone's space. The thin person looks a little pitiful.

This soul is different from the human soul, there is no blood on the face, and it is handsome and handsome.The clothes on his body were also changed, and he was wearing a red silk dress as brilliant as sunset brocade, with a wide robe, large sleeves, flying dragons and phoenixes, and dancing golden butterflies.

Mo Ran almost staggered forward, knelt down beside him, stretched out his trembling hands, and stroked Chu Wanning's face.

"Wan Ning..."

What blurted out was not Master, but the two words he was used to calling him in the last period of his previous life.

Hatred for the sea of ​​blood, lingering to the bone.

Chu Wanning was picked up by him, drowsy, and it took a long time to wake up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw myself leaning against Mo Ran's arms, and the youthful and childish face in front of me, never had I been so concerned.He thought it might be a dream, so he frowned, sighed for a while, and then closed his eyelids again.

"Master!"

Someone called him in his ear.

This time it was not Wan Ning who was calling back.

"Master! Master!"

Chu Wanning suddenly opened his phoenix eyes. Although his complexion did not change much, his fingertips betrayed him and trembled slightly.

The next moment, Mo Ran grabbed his hand and stuck it on his face, crying and laughing, his facial features were obviously so handsome, but he became so embarrassed and lost his composure under the urgency.

"Master." He choked up, looking at him without blinking, as if he couldn't say anything, but kept repeating, "Master..."

Chu Wanning was hugged tightly by him, and finally came back to his senses, subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so he broke away from Mo Ran, got up and stared at him.

I was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

Suddenly very angry.

Mo Ran didn't respond, Chu Wanning's hand was taken away, and then he slapped Mo Ran's face with a backhand, his black eyebrows stood up angrily, and his sword was on the verge of breaking out.

"Bastard, why are you dead too?!"

Mo Ran opened his mouth and was about to explain, but suddenly saw under the hazy moonlight, although Chu Wanning was angry, but the eyes under the long eyelashes were forbearing, sad, seemed unwilling, seemed to have a touch It's just broken and boundless water color.After he finished cursing, he bit his lower lip tightly, trying to lock up the sobs that made him feel humiliated and ashamed.

Some people have a wound, and they just want to tie up and let the whole world know that they have been injured.

But some people are arrogant and arrogant, and those grievances and pains, even if their throats are full of blood, they still have to swallow them alive without telling others.

He didn't say that Mo Ran didn't know it before.

Now that I know it, I just feel very distressed.

He wanted to hug Chu Wanning.

But Chu Wanning pushed him away, hoarsely: "Get out."

Chu Wanning turned his face sideways, and a layer of coldness overwhelmed thousands of heartaches.

"You died at a young age, what face do you have to come to see me?"

"Master..."

"Get out." Chu Wanning turned his face to the side, "You and I have broken the friendship between master and apprentice, and I, Yuheng, will not accept the waste that died in the prime of life."

Died in his prime...

Mo Ran was originally sad, but when he heard him scolding himself so solemnly, he suddenly felt warm in his heart, as if spring water was flowing out.He patted his forehead with his hand, then put it on his eyes, and couldn't help but a bittersweet and sour smile.

When Chu Wanning heard his chuckle, he was even more furious, and turned his head and said sharply: "What are you laughing at, you—" He was annoyed to slap Mo Ran again, but his hand was caught by Mo Ran.

The young man's warm eyes blinked slowly, he didn't speak, but put his hand on his chest solemnly.
