under one roof

74

Zhou Jue stayed alone in a closed room, which should be the office where the Emperor of Heaven used to be. One wall was made of transparent material, but Zhou never liked light, so he drew huge dark and heavy curtains.

In front of him was a huge square table, on which was a framed model of the entire Heavenly Palace, and several red dots were constantly approaching the central area.Zhou Jue propped his face sideways with one hand, his body was half slanted, he couldn't tell whether he was serious or frivolous.

"Are they stronger? Or are you weaker?" A slender white leg stretched out. The man was not wearing shoes. There was a silver ring on his ankle with a red dot on it. In such a dim environment, very conspicuous.

"Did I let you move around casually?" Zhou Jue asked, "Zhili, you are too bold."

Zhili sat on the armrest of Zhou Jue's chair, with one hand on the back of the chair, and with the same look and tone of being tired of everyone, he said, "When did I lose my courage?" He seemed to be trying to prove himself , actually intending to touch Zhou Jue's face.

Zhou Jue always has a gentle smile on his face, but he doesn't seem to have that much patience with Zhili.He only glanced at Zhili, and Zhili's hand stopped in mid-air.

"It's boring." Zhili found a step for himself and withdrew his hand.He got up and walked to the square table before his figure was fully exposed to the soft light.It turned out that he was just wrapped in a velvet pajamas casually, so he was very comfortable, and he didn't want to be a person whose freedom of movement was restricted in Zhou Jue's mouth at all.

He propped his hands on the edge of the table, the cold metal irritated his palm a little, he didn't pay much attention, looked at the huge city formed by the extremely delicate light, and said: "Are you going to watch them quietly like this? "

"I don't have too many ideas." Zhou Jue said, "If you come, you will come, if you don't come, you won't come, so what? I have no intention of stopping them."

Zhili said, "You can really think about it."

"It's because you think too much." Zhou Jue said very indifferently, "They are just floating clouds to me, and I am too lazy to bother."

Zhili looked up at Zhou Jue, his expression could not be called a smile, but it was still indescribable.

He has always been bold and reckless, but it is not always true that he is not afraid of heaven and earth.In the sky, he fears the Emperor of Heaven, and there are many disgusting elements in it.On the ground, he was afraid of Zhou Jue, because he couldn't guess what Zhou Jue was thinking.Zhou Jue was always like this, as if he didn't care much about everything—but he stretched out his hand to the heavens, and he would quietly destroy this order that had lasted for thousands of years.

It's like a fantasy.

When Zhili first heard the news, he thought that the matter was not so serious. With a bit of selfish desire and mischievous mentality, he turned a blind eye to Zhou Jue's matter.He just pretended not to know, and no one could blame him for anything.It's just that he didn't expect that this was a quagmire, and none of the people who fell could save their lives.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the silver metal ring on his ankle, Zhou definitely treated him well, and the things that restrained him were different from others.Zhou Jue just inserted a vajra lock into other people's necks, and those who took it off without permission will disappear in smoke and become "garbage" in this heaven.And him?Zhou Jue gave him the maximum freedom, but also made him unable to have the slightest thought of escaping.

As long as Zhili dares to take a step outside the range of the center, let alone a human being, probably even a ghost can't do it.

The result of willfulness is one wrong step, one step at a time.

"What if they really come?" Zhili was too lazy, so he simply sat on the table, facing Zhou Jue.The hem of his pajamas was open, and when he sat on his side, his thighs were exposed, but he didn't mind it at all, and it was quite normal.Zhili went on to say: "There are always troubles, how are you going to deal with them? Can you share your plan with me?"

Zhou Jue was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I feel like I have become a human after being in the human world for a long time. Only at this time can I realize that I am a cold-blooded god."

"..."

"When I was in the world, I loved Chinese New Year the most. Every year, I knew that I was a little closer to the expected time. I was like a child waiting for a reward, waiting for my dear elder brother to let me see my concubine Mo. I know that people will be happy and sad, and I think it was probably my expectation and despair at that time." Zhou Jue stood up and walked in front of Zhili.Zhili was sitting, Zhoujue was much taller than him, both of them had fairy faces, they looked like paintings.

"I know that there is a hostility in my heart. That thing didn't belong to me, but I don't know when it entered my body and even invaded my soul." He continued, "But I didn't feel any struggle and rejection at all. I even hope that I will become a complete demon, because the taste of depravity is so wonderful. I understand why gods have been forbidden to have love and hatred since ancient times..." Saying this, the corner of Zhou Jue's mouth curled up into a smile.

"What... what..." Zhili asked in a low voice, staring at Zhou Jue intently, even breathing faster inadvertently.

"Because in this way, the entire God Realm will lose control. The strong will always have more desires than ordinary people, and they will be more persistent." Zhou Jue said, "But it is precisely because of desires that I feel that I am stronger. Of course Now, I have to thank my good brother for this."

Zhili said, "Maybe he didn't really want to lie to you?"

"It's not important anymore." Zhou Jue was in a good mood when talking about these issues, and he played with a strand of Zhili's long hair with his fingers, making Zhili's back stretched nervously , "He should pay the price for his actions back then." This sentence, he said more like talking to himself.

Zhili couldn't figure out why Zhou hated the Emperor of Heaven so deeply, because he still couldn't understand the word "love".He agreed to Zhou Jue because he was just curious, but now he realized the seriousness of the problem and couldn't get away.

When he was sent back to the Heavenly Court by Sun Wukong, Yang Jian and others, he was in a complicated mood. As expected, he was pressed down by Zhou Jue as soon as he came, and he cut off all contact with the outside world.Zhili often thinks that he has been in the underworld for so long, and sent countless mortals to reincarnation. Those people who cried and shouted did not want to cross the bridge of Naihe. Forget about escaping into reincarnation.

But he can't.

The emperor of Fengdu, who controls life and death, is most unable to control his own destiny.

Just when Zhili was about to speak, a white figure passed by the door, he took a closer look and saw that it was Luo Bai standing by the door, half covering his body.Although Luo Bai always looked expressionless, but Zhili read some disgust in the short look at him.He tilted his head and glanced at Zhou Jue, and said helplessly, "Your little bird has come to you. In order to avoid being murdered by him before he dies in your hands, I'll go back first."

Zhou Jue responded, and Zhili's figure disappeared into the darkness.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Jue turned around and asked.

"I..." Luo Bai still stood at the door, lowered his head and said, "they have separated, and the nearest gate to the center is only two interfaces, I would like to ask... do you want to..."

"No need." Zhou Jue said, "Just stay here and don't worry about other things, let Zhifeng do it."

"..." Luo Bai looked pitiful in a low voice.

Zhou Jue sighed softly, stretched out his hand and nodded towards Luo Bai, and said, "Come here." He sat back on the chair by himself.

Luo Bai walked over, stood beside Zhou Jue, kept a little distance, and stopped moving forward.Zhou Jue pulled Luo Bai onto his lap, and said, "You used to always like to sit in my arms, and clingy when we saw each other. Why have you become so divided these few days? You don't even like to see people when you see me." called."

"I didn't." Luo Bai said, "I'm going to do what you entrusted to me."

"Oh? How did you do it?"

"Remove all the disobedient souls and put them in Tianzun's dungeon." Luo Bai said very seriously, but he seemed to be not relentless, even indifferent to dealing with these former colleagues, "I will give each of them They will not have a good time with the soul eclipse."

Zhou Jue smiled and said, "These are all the skills you learned in the assassination team?"

Luo Bai nodded.

"I thought the heavens were all true, good and beautiful." Zhou Jue said, "It seems that my thinking is too simple."

"Not entirely." Luo Bai paused, then said, "It's just... just that you can't break the precepts, and you won't be lightly forgiven if you break the precepts."

Zhou Jue asked, "What about you? Are you afraid of breaking the precepts?"

Luo Bai shook his head: "Not afraid."

He was sitting in Zhoujue's arms, feeling relaxed at the moment, his hands naturally clinging to Zhoujue's neck, leaning his head on Zhoujue's shoulder, and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Stupid bird knows how to ask questions?" Zhou Jue said with interest, "Let's listen to it."

"Could it be that Ye Zhifeng was with you when I was away?" Luo Bai asked cautiously, "How long has he been by your side?"

Zhou Jue said: "Well, I have to think about this problem." He really pinched his fingers and pretended to calculate, and said: "It has been almost a thousand years since you ascended to immortality. He is the closest person to me. .”

"Oh..." Luo Bai's tone was filled with indescribable disappointment.

"Unhappy?"

"Yeah." Luo Bai nodded bluntly.

Zhou Jue chuckled, he was always amused by the silly look of this little bird, he asked, "Why aren't you happy?"

"Because I don't know these things." Luo Bai said, "It was you that I saw when I opened my eyes, I only know you, you are my everything. But...but I am not your everything, I am very sad."

"Do you know what it means to be sad?"

"I know." Luo Bai said, "You look sad when you mention your concubine, and..." He tilted his head slightly, lost in thought, and continued: "I have seen Yang Jian sad too, he has At that time, the eyes were very similar to yours. Hmm... I think it should be sad too."

Zhou Jue asked, "When?"

"When he lost Yu Chen." Luo Bai said, "I stayed with him for a long time. Since he went to the human world, I feel that he is different from before."

"How is it different?"

Luo Bai said: "I can't describe it, it's just different."

"Because of that person?" Zhou Jue was referring to Yu Chen.

"Yes." Luo Bai said, "Yang Jian cares about him very much, he will lose his temper because of Yu Chen, and he will also be very irritable. He is so high and mighty, I think this kind of situation is very unexpected. Ao Lie will also quarrel with Yu Chen , but they still seem to like Yu Chen very much. Am I right? That should be 'like'."

Zhoujue smiled and said: "You are right in describing it, the little bird is not stupid at all, but very smart." He touched Luo Bai's head in the same way as encouragement, and Luo Bai became much happier, and then said: " Do you like me then?"

His heart was pure and his eyes were full of anticipation. Zhou Jue couldn't bear to refuse after seeing it.He opened his mouth a little and said, "I like you to stay with me all the time." Zhou Jue was vague about the answer, but Luo Bai persisted and asked: "What about me? I mean..." He pointed at himself heart.

"Little bird." Zhou Jue said, "I don't want you to say these things, and you won't say them again." His tone was much colder than before, turning the white-eyed hope into disappointment.

"What if I can't make it?" Zhou Jue said, "Are you letting me drag you to ashes?" Only he calmly said such contradictory words without any position.Even if he can't accomplish these things, even if Luo Bai keeps a distance from him, no matter what, he can't escape a ghost, how can he draw a clear line with a promise?He just didn't want to answer, and used this well-intentioned threat to deceive Luo Bai.

But after hundreds of years, Luo Bai is much more stubborn than he imagined.I only heard Luo Bai say: "But I wish you would accompany you to disappear. As I said, there is only you in my world. If you are gone, why should I stay alone?"

"Are all birds like this?" Zhou Jue said, "The first time I saw him, no matter whether he was a human, a ghost, good or bad, I recognized him at once?"

Luo Bai replied angrily: "No, I don't know."

"It's just your nature." Zhou Jue said, "You don't have to come back tomorrow. If you don't see it, you won't be bothered. I just want you to be free, and you don't need to think about the rest." Then, he He said with emphasis: "I don't like disobedient birds, do you understand?"

Luo Bai was stunned, he didn't know how to put his arm around Zhou Jue for a while.His expression was disbelieving, even dejected.He bit the corner of his mouth and moved it for a long time, finally said aggrievedly: "Understood, I will be obedient."

The opponent's body was stiff, Zhou could definitely feel it, he patted Luo Bai's back, and Luo Bai got off him.This place is too depressing for Luo Bai, he came here full of joy, but now he is afraid that he will leave in a daze.Maybe he shouldn't ask stupid questions, and Zhou Jue should have lied to him when he said he was smart.

Luo Bai lowered his head, glanced at the content on the Sifang table, there was a red dot closest to the center, after secretly noting it down, he simply said goodbye to Zhou Jue and left in a hurry.

The air outside was lighter than inside, Luo Bai took a deep breath, went to the arsenal to pick up his equipment, and walked towards the gate of Lingxiao Center.His consciousness was confused, he just thought about doing something casually, finding a target to vent at random.

Maybe he can try to prove his existence?

Don't let any dangerous target get close to Zhou Jue - Luo Baixiang.
