Yokai Office

Thanks to the blessings of Fenghuang, Bi Fang and other seniors, Shen Xi, who had worked hard all day, finally had a peaceful sleep.

At eight o'clock the next day, due to the biological clock, Shen Xi woke up in Zong Ci's arms on time.

"Are you awake?" Zong Ci woke up earlier than Shen Xi, and seeing that he was sleeping peacefully, he remained motionless as a humanoid pillow, not daring to disturb him.

"Hmm..." Shen Xi yawned, with sleepiness still in his eyes.

Even though it was Saturday, there was no way to stay in bed.

It's pretty miserable when you think about it.

Shen Xi was concerned about those missing persons and didn't take the time to complain.

"Zongci, there shouldn't be any accidents in Xingyuan last night, right?" Shen Xi rubbed Zongci's chest, trying to hold back for a while, "Can you call the seniors of Bi Fang and ask?"

"I received the news from them, and everything is fine."

As soon as Zongci woke up, he read the message from Bi Fang.

"When you've had enough, we can get up and go." Zong Ci pinched the tip of Shen Xi's soft nose, and laughed softly.

"Oh, I'll just lie down for another 5 minutes." Shen Xi rolled over with the quilt in his arms, covering his face, only a small head was exposed.

On the back of the head, there are still a few "dog" hairs protruding, which are silly, but cute with a little warmth.

Zong Ci stroked the back of his head with his big hand, leaned sideways to his ear and said, "I'll get up and wash up first, and you lie down for a while."

"Well, good." The voice came through the quilt, with a soft nasal sound.

After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Shen Xi turned over and sat up on the bed, and stretched comfortably.

Although he likes to stay in bed, but there are priorities, and now the case is the top priority, so we can't delay it.

Shen Xi pressed the switch casually, and the curtains opened automatically.

The sun slanted in radiantly, and the sound of washing could be heard from the bathroom outside. For some reason, Shen Xi suddenly felt very good.

As soon as his heart got hot, he didn't bother to put on his shoes, so he ran to the bathroom.

After Zong Ci finished washing, he was caught off guard by Shen Xi who hugged him from behind.

The force was so strong that Zong Ci swayed and hit the sink.

"What's wrong?" Zong Ci asked, ignoring the pain.

Shen Xi poked his head out from behind, grinning, "Hey, come wash up."

On the sink, Zong Ci had already thoughtfully prepared all the supplies for him.

"Hurry up and wash up."

"En." Shen Xi walked around and came to him.This time, it was Zong Ci who hugged him.

Zong Ci rested on Shen Xi's shoulder, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his neck, which was white and tender, and seemed to still have the scent of shower gel.

After a few days without a speech, he suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, and his arms around Shen Xi tightened a bit.

He also intentionally kissed Shen Xi's neck.

The slight itching from his neck made Shen Xi tremble all over, and even the mouthwash cup he was holding shook, causing water to overflow.He quickly rinsed his mouth and said vaguely, "...don't make trouble."

Sensitive as him, just a slight kiss, and the base of the ear turns red.

Zong Ci chuckled, deliberately took his round and red earlobe in his mouth, and bit it.

A tingling sensation suddenly came, and the cup in Shen Xi's hand finally lost its stability, and fell into the washbasin with a click.He turned on the water switch and rinsed his mouth with warm water.

After washing himself clean, Shen Xi finally turned around, pretending to be calm and reprimanded, "It's early in the morning, stop making trouble."

Zong Ci kissed his lips, and agreed with some regret, "Well, no trouble."

"I'll change clothes first." Shen Xi seemed embarrassed, and ran out quickly.

"..." Zong Ci sighed silently, but thought to himself: It's better to settle the case as soon as possible.

***

After they changed their clothes, they called Shang Liuhuo and drove towards Xingyuan.

When approaching Xingyuan, Zong Ci received a call from Bi Fang.

"Hello, Uncle Fang." Zong Ci glanced at Shen Xi and whispered, "We're almost there."

Bi Fang on the other end did not know what to say, Zong Ci's indifferent expression became serious, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Shen Xi was keenly aware of his changes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The barrier can be broken." Zong Ci replied briefly.

The car turned a corner and automatically parked in the parking lot next to the apricot orchard.

The three got out of the car and walked quickly to the apricot garden.

Beside the ancient apricot tree, there were several familiar figures standing.

"Uncle Fang." Zong Ci approached.

Shen Xi followed beside him, looked around at the people present, and asked, "Where is Senior Phoenix?"

"Going to pick up someone." Chongming said.

As soon as the lingering sound fell, two figures fell down.

A ray of red fire fell and transformed into a phoenix.

On the other side, a streak of white spiritual power flashed down, accompanied by the fresh fragrance of flowers, transforming into a woman in white.

The white long-sleeved dress is dotted with numerous petal embroidered patterns, and the skirt falls to the ground. The appropriate tailoring outlines a graceful figure. The fine hair is braided into a generous bun, and a pearl hairpin is inserted above it. Pattern of flowers.

She has delicate features and is very attractive.

The identity of the visitor is well known.

"Flower God, long time no see." Bi Fang put away his wanton expression and greeted him solemnly.

Flower God smiled and saluted, "Long time no see, Mr. Bi Fang."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Chongming who was behind Bi Fang again, gave the same salute, and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty Chongming is well."

In front of women, Chongming has always been serious.He was a little unnatural, shifted his expression, nodded, "Yeah."

Earlier, Huashen had met several people, and she also had some understanding of Chongming's character.She was not annoyed by Chongming's indifference, and smiled.

"This is..." Flower God's eyes fell on Zong Ci, and Dai Mei frowned slightly.

"The current Fox Emperor of Qiancheng Kingdom, Zong Ci." Bi Fang introduced with a smile, "You can be regarded as our junior."

Flower God thought for a while, and said softly, "I haven't seen you for many years, but I don't recognize you clearly, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

"Senior, you're being polite." Zong Ci saluted back, "I've met the Flower God."

"Your elder brother has met me a few times." Flower God said casually, then remembered that the old man had passed away, this was inappropriate, and saluted with apology.

As two little monsters, Shen Xi and Liu Huo still couldn't help being nervous when they saw such a god.The two glanced at each other, and they were cautious from each other's faces.

Fenghuang noticed this scene and introduced it to Flower God.The two of them greeted the Flower God politely.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, they got to the point.

***

The flower god looked at the ancient apricot tree in front of him, clasped his hands together, gathered light-colored spiritual power, and crossed up.

And last time, thousands of petals fell, and a sudden strong wind swept the petals into an offensive, rushing towards the Flower God.

The softness between the eyebrows and eyes of Huashen was gone, and the sharpness was only increased, she said, "Presumptuous!"

At the same time, with a flick of her sleeves, the spirit power released instantly dispersed the attack.

The branches of the ancient apricot blossom tree trembled, and many petals fell off.For some reason, I suddenly felt pitiful.

Flower God stretched out his hand, touched the tree trunk, and moved his lips silently.

After a while, she withdrew her hand.The branch suddenly grew long, and handed an apricot flower on the branch to the flower god.

Flower God smiled and took it off.

With such a movement, the branch twisted softly, as if it was dancing for joy.

Shen Xi said in a low voice, "Why do I feel that this ancient apricot blossom tree is very stupid?"

"This is probably... flattering your boss?" Liuhuo continued.

Zong Ci hooked his lips when he heard the conversation between the two.

"Flower God, is there any result?"

"Hmm." The Flower God gathered the apricot blossoms in his hands, and approached Zongci and the others, "I ordered it to open the barrier."

Shen Xi asked, "Senior Flower God, where did it set the barrier?"

Flower God glanced at the apricot tree.The dryad had stopped moving, and stood obediently as before.She turned her head and said, "An ancient well in the garden."

***

The distance between the ancient well and the ancient apricot tree was more than [-] meters, and the bottom of the well was relatively secret, so it made sense to set the barrier at the bottom of the well.

When everyone heard the words, they immediately walked away.

"Zongci, I'll go down with you first!" Shen Xicai walked to the well and opened his mouth.

Among so many people, only two are familiar with the situation under the well.

Zong Ci hesitated for a second, then nodded, "Okay."

Without the lifting equipment, Shen Xi simply turned back to his original body, Zong Ci picked him up, and the two fell lightly to the bottom of the well.

Shen Xi turned into a human form, and looked around the walls of the well.There is no surprise from the way it was yesterday.

"Zongci, this..." Shen Xi was confused.

"This way." Zong Ci took Shen Xi to the side in a calm manner.He reached out and approached a rock wall...

Unexpectedly, his palm went straight through the rock wall and went in!

"Zong Ci!" Shen Xi's heart tightened.

"It's okay, it's a blindfold." Zong Ci said in relief, "The barrier has been broken, and you should be able to enter from here."

Shen Xi was a little dazed, and nodded with half understanding.

Zong Ci took his hand and said, "Come with me."

After all, he took his lover and walked in together.

Shen Xi closed his eyes subconsciously, and when he came back to his senses again, he found that the place he was in was completely dark.

Tick, tick.

There seemed to be the sound of water dripping.

"Zong Ci..." Shen Xi clenched his lover's hand tightly.

Such dark hallucinations will cause a lot of psychological pressure.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Zong Ci turned on the phone's light, allowing Shen Xi to see his face clearly.

Shen Xi'an calmed down a bit, took Zong Ci's mobile phone light, and carefully looked around.

Soon, he discovered that not far from the two of them, there was a river with gurgling water and even flower petals floating above.

"Is this an underground river?"

"Well, it should be." Zong Ci replied.

He also didn't expect that there was such a site hidden under the ancient apricot garden.It is estimated that it has been covered by the enchantment, so people did not notice it.

"You said, will Le Chaoyang and the others be trapped here?"

Zong Ci shook his head, "Not sure."

The environment here is too dark, and the light intensity of the phone is negligible.

"Xixi, let's go out first. Call the seniors in."

At least a certain amount of lighting tools are needed to see the environment in the enchantment clearly.

"Ah."

The two turned around and went out from the barrier, only to meet Bi Fang face to face.

Bi Fang was startled when he saw two people coming out of the well wall, "Are you two alright?"

Not long ago, a few people standing at the mouth of the well saw Zong Ci and Shen Xi suddenly disappearing, because they were worried, so Bi Fang took the initiative to come down to see the situation.

"It's okay, Senior Bi Fang, the wall of this well can be passed through. There should be a dark river inside the barrier. But it's too dark to see the situation clearly, so we showed up."

Shen Xi pointed to the well wall behind him, and told what he had experienced.

"I understand." Bi Fang nodded, "I'll go up first, talk to them about the situation, and come down immediately with lighting tools."

"it is good."

***

In less than 10 minutes, Fenghuang, Bi Fang and the others all entered the barrier.

The powerful lighting equipment was turned on, instantly dissipating the darkness in the enchantment.

The fullness of this enchantment was revealed.

This is a natural elongated cave with a dark river embedded in the ground.Due to the perennial darkness and humidity, the ground and rock walls are almost covered with dark moss.

It looks a little disgusting.

"The ground will be slippery, everyone pay attention to safety." Zong Ci immediately grabbed Shen Xi and reminded the people behind.

"Team Zong, do you want to split up to find people now?" Liu Huo, standing at the end of the line, asked.

Zong Ci took a look at the situation and replied, "Don't disperse yet, follow the flow of the underground river and go up."

The terrain here is wide, and the specific situation is not sure yet.

Even though the spiritual power of all the people present was quite high, it would still be inappropriate to rashly disperse and search for people.

Naturally, everyone has no objection to Zongci's proposal.

Everyone consciously stood in a group and walked towards the upper reaches of the dark river.The more you go up, the more uneven the terrain is. After walking for a while on the curved and concave-convex stone walls.

The terrain suddenly opened up.

A strong aroma of apricot blossoms came.

Shen Xi followed Zong Ci closely and walked in front.Seeing the situation in front of him, he was shocked and exclaimed, "My God!"

This is a huge underground cave, and the dark light coming from nowhere allows them to see the whole picture clearly.

The melting wall above presents an oval shape, and the densely packed tree trunks are winding and dense.

"It's the root of that ancient apricot tree on the ground." Zong Ci raised his head and deduced.

And directly below the top of the cave, there is a deep pool. It is estimated that there is a source of water at the bottom, and the water from the underground river came from here.

The most shocking thing is that beside the deep pool, there is an apricot tree with a huge canopy.

Under the long light, the branches and leaves are luxuriant and the flowers are clustered.

And under the tree, flowers fell all over the ground.In such a flower field, there are several people lying down.

Not too many, not too many, five people, all of whom were previously missing!
