My monsters are going to heaven

"Sit." Zhou Xiaosheng smiled and pointed to a seat by the window.

Lu Yiming sat down generously.

A few servants brought melon and fruit desserts and poured good tea.

Zhou Xiaosheng didn't ask Lu Yiming why he came, and Lu Yiming didn't explain his reason to Zhou Xiaosheng.

Because there are some things that the two of them have already tacitly agreed on.

Lu Yiming looked around and saw no one except Qing Chen standing next to him, so he couldn't help asking, "Where's Yun Xuan? Is he not there?"

"He went to the attic to read." Zhou Xiaosheng said.

"Oh." Lu Yiming didn't think too much, subconsciously glanced at Qing Chen who was talking to him quietly on the barge just now.

Qingchen just lowered his head and looked down, standing there respectfully and obediently.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but feel a little unspeakable apprehension.

——What did he mean by Mingyue just now?What is the method?

Before he could figure it out, Zhou Xiaosheng had already looked at the bright moon outside the window and calmly said, "Tonight, it's the dark moon."

"Mingyue?" Lu Yiming didn't expect that Zhou Xiaosheng would take the initiative to mention this word, he couldn't help but glanced at the moon in the sky, and asked, "What is Mingyue?"

"It seems that your grandfather really didn't tell you anything." Zhou Xiaosheng shook his head, sighing with emotion, with a few strange smiles in the corners of his eyes, and said, "Mingyue is a day for our family to sacrifice Every seven months, there are seven nights, and the moon will be like this night, with a blue halo all over the body, we call it the dark moon. Tonight is the first night of the dark moon.”

As he spoke, he used the index fingers and thumbs of both hands to draw a circle towards the sky and compared to the edge of the moon.

Lu Yiming looked through the circle between his hands and looked at the moon hanging high in the sky, indeed with a blue halo, he hesitated for a moment: "Sacrifice?"

"Our family has existed since ancient times, and it has been passed down for a long time." Zhou Xiaosheng slowly put down his hands, took an ebony box from the table, opened it, and there was a silver pipe with peonies in it.

He picked up the pipe, took out a delicately shaped silver lighter from his pocket, lit the cigarette, and took a long puff.

After a while, he parted his thin lips slightly and let out a sigh of relief.White smoke rose from his beautiful lips and spread upwards slightly, blurring his handsome facial features instantly.

"I've always wanted to know what kind of person my grandfather was in the past." Lu Yiming pointed out, "He never mentioned anything before he came to town, and no one has ever been able to pry his mouth open."

Zhou Xiaosheng smiled and said: "Your grandfather, whose real name is Zhou Ruokun, is one of the tomb guards in our clan."

His warm eyes were obscured by the smoke he just exhaled, and his expression suddenly became a little dazed.

"The guardian of the tomb is selected from the direct descendants of the Zhou family and is responsible for guarding the family's tomb."

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows: "...the one who guards the tomb?"

Zhou Xiaosheng shook his head slightly: "The Diling is not just a cemetery, there are many more... Well, in a word, the Diling is a place where our family puts some important things." After a pause, he added , "There are five mausoleum guards in Diling, all of whom are direct descendants of the Zhou family. They are on duty every day. Not only your grandfather, but even mine is also one of the guards."

Lu Yiming took a sip of his tea, but he didn't know whether it was because of complicated emotions or because he had other worries, but he felt that the tea was bland and tasteless, like white water.

"Then my grandfather... why did he leave the Zhou family suddenly? Do you know the reason?" He glanced at Zhou Xiaosheng, "It must have nothing to do with any famine, right?"

Zhou Xiaosheng slowly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Then he took another puff of the cigarette, and after the puff of white mist was comfortably exhaled, he continued in a warm voice: "Your grandfather ran away on a night of the dark moon. He took the people from our underground mausoleum with him." thing."

Lu Yiming was stunned: "You mean, he stole things from Diling?"

"That's right." Zhou Xiaosheng nodded, and temporarily put the pipe on the bracket in the box. "That night, our whole family was busy offering sacrifices to the heavens, but he took advantage of everyone's busyness and sneaked away with his things. Even ...and let go of a person who was imprisoned underground." There was a faint trance in his eyes, as if he was trying to remember.

"That person, those of us who are younger generations don't know who he is. I only heard from the grandfather's generation that he was locked in the tomb by the ancestors many years ago. He lived longer than the grandfathers. Long. He is... a cunning and powerful character. The reason why your grandfather dared to do this is probably because he was bewitched by him."

Lu Yiming finally solved the doubts he had had for many years. He lowered his head and drank the rest of the tea in the cup in one gulp.

No wonder my grandfather never mentioned the past.

He always said that he couldn't go back to his hometown.

It turned out that there was really no going back.

After drinking several cups of tea, he hesitated and asked, "What did he steal?"

"Other things are not important, only this." Zhou Xiaosheng took out a booklet from the nearby bookshelf, unfolded it on the table, pointed to it and said, "He should never touch this thing."

Lu Yiming's eyes followed the tip of his index finger to the album.

I saw an exquisite box drawn on the pale yellow paper, and several bright peonies bloomed on the surface of the box.

"What is this? A box?"

"Yes, a box." Zhou Xiaosheng frowned and smiled slightly, "Even I have never seen what's in the box, because your grandfather took it away."

"But I've never seen it before." Lu Yiming stared at the beautiful box intently, "After my grandfather passed away, when I checked the relics at home, I didn't find such a thing."

Such a beautiful box, if he had seen it before, he would never forget it.

"This box is called an eclipsed gold box." Zhou Xiaosheng explained, "The ancestors of our Zhou clan got this box from somewhere, and left a ancestral instruction. Everyone in my Zhou clan, except for the patriarch, must never forget it." This box cannot be opened. Even the patriarch can only open it once in his life on the day of succession. It is usually stored in the mechanism deep in the mausoleum, and the mausoleum guards cannot easily approach it, because it takes a very cumbersome process to crack the mechanism. The program cannot be solved by one person.”

He glanced at Lu Yiming suddenly, and said with a smile: "We guessed that the prisoner in Diling colluded with your grandfather and broke the mechanism, so he took it away."

Lu Yiming asked strangely: "Since there are two people, then... why are you so sure that the thing is on my grandfather and not on that prisoner?"

"Because," Zhou Xiaosheng rarely showed a look of embarrassment as if he didn't know how to explain it, "At that time, only your grandfather could take that box away."

Lu Yiming felt that his explanation had no beginning and no end, and was about to ask, a black-clothed boy hurried in from the outer door and gestured to Zhou Xiaosheng.

Although Zhou Xiaosheng's expression was calm, he stood up slowly.

He smiled at Lu Yiming: "I should have told you about these things long ago, but this kind of thing is always a family scandal, so I don't know how to talk about it. Right now, there is something wrong on our ship, and I need to go and see it myself. For the rest, after three days, I will come to the door and explain to you in person."

Before Lu Yiming could respond, he had already looked at Qingchen and said in a warm voice, "Qingchen, see off the guests."

After a while, Lu Yiming's figure jumped from the barge to the shore.

He turned around and waved to Zhou Xiaosheng who was watching him on the deck, and then plunged into the path deep in the reeds.

Zhou Xiaosheng waited for Lu Yiming's figure to completely disappear from his field of vision, then slowly lowered his face, and his voice was as cold as the river at night: "Bring those slaves in black who are about to escape."

As soon as the words fell, the five black-clothed boys with their hands tied behind their backs were pushed out from the door by other black-clothed boys, and they stood in a row, kneeling together in a row.

Two or three trembled and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.

"Master, we...we know our mistakes, please let us reincarnate!"

"Master, master, please spare me..."

There was no trace of pity in Zhou Xiaosheng's eyes.

He just raised his head slightly and glanced at the blue moon above his head. His voice was warm, but the words he said were not very warm: "Reincarnation? Six realms of reincarnation and six realms of suffering, why do you have to reincarnate? You are not happy in this life. In the next life, I may not be happy."

A black-clothed slave who had been silent at the side raised his head angrily when he heard the words, and cursed angrily: "It shouldn't be up to you, the devil, to decide whether to be happy or not! We've had enough! You If you want to kill or cut, just give it a good time!"

"What did he call me?" Zhou Xiaosheng smiled instead, and asked Qingchen.

Qingchen lowered her head very low, and replied: "He is crazy, Master, don't take it seriously."

Zhou Xiaosheng sat down, and said leisurely: "I remember that it was clearly written on your identity papers. The five of you violated the king's law and slaughtered the whole village, and were sentenced to death by Ling Chi. You are greedy for life and afraid of death. My people promised that as long as you are not dead, they are willing to drive our family for generations. Now, do you want to go back on your word?"

The black-clothed man who dared to speak out was tearing his eyes, and said: "At that time, your people said that as long as we signed and signed, they would put us in a new skin and let us continue to live in this world with a new identity, so we agreed. Who knows, our souls are imprisoned in this organ skin day and night like this, how can we look like living people? How is it different from being dead? Besides, the five of us have already been driven by your clan as slaves. In a hundred years, the debt should have been paid off long ago!"

"Why, you're not satisfied with this new skin?" Zhou Xiaosheng shook his head, "It's agreed that it will be from generation to generation, then it should be from generation to generation, not even for a moment."

As he spoke, he made a gesture, and immediately a black-clothed servant trotted over and handed over a black cloth bag.

Seeing the black cloth bag, the five people changed color one by one, some shrank into a ball, and some shrank back.

Zhou Xiaosheng groped in the black cloth bag with a smile: "Since you don't like this human skin, I'll give you another one. Pig, dog, donkey, horse... which one do you like?"

The black-clothed slave who was still very stubborn just now pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said bitterly after a long time: "Since you won't let me go to reincarnation, why don't you let me have a good time, I'd rather lose my soul..."

Zhou Xiaosheng said lightly: "I said it, the six realms of reincarnation, the six realms of suffering, why bother to go through that. With your bad karma in this life, reincarnation may not necessarily be reincarnated. Since you like reincarnation, you might as well try it with me first." Try the animal way."

After speaking, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he muttered something.

Immediately, the man in black screamed and fell heavily on the ground, like a sack full of sand, and did not move anymore.

Something bulged in the black cloth bag, and after a while of shaking, a little pig with pink skin ran out.

The little pig looked terrified, screamed, and trembled on the deck, not even daring to run.

Zhou Xiaosheng's eyes turned, and he glanced at the other four people: "As for you... After all, you have served our clan for hundreds of years, it's about time."

The four looked happy.

Without waiting for them to thank them, Zhou Xiaosheng's words made the joy on their faces disappear instantly, as if they had been sucked away by something.

——"The dark moon is here, just take your living souls to sacrifice to the sky."

Lu Yiming walked along the gravel road along the river bank to the town full of doubts and reluctance.

After walking for a while, he looked back at the building boat.

Under the moonlight, the huge figure of Lou Chuan was like a big mountain, as if it was about to break the river like a jade belt at any time.

After a pause, Lu Yiming turned around and continued walking forward.

This Zhou Xiaosheng, is what he said true?

Grandfather, is he just a thief?

Among them, there are many things that I haven't had time to ask clearly. The more I think about it, the more strange it becomes.

……

Before he knew it, Lu Yiming had already walked to the door of the house restlessly.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Yiming slowly walked up the steps in front of the gate.

He casually raised his hand, but before his fingers touched the door, the door was pulled open from the inside with a "squeak".

A tall figure appeared in the door that was just opened.

Although he couldn't see his facial features clearly, he could see the tiny light like stars shining from his eyes.

Lu Yiming was stunned for a moment, then grinned: "Ha, I was shocked."

Without any explanation, Kim Poro pulled him in by the arm, and closed the door behind him.

The two walked slowly into the yard.

"How do you know I'm back?" Lu Yiming turned his face slightly and glanced at him.

Of course, Kim Poro would not tell him that he had been sitting on the roof just now, watching him walk back from the alley in a bored manner. The road that usually took a few minutes to complete had to be walked for nearly a quarter of an hour, making people wait. How impatient.

Who told him not to look up.

Seeing Jinpoluo not responding, Lu Yiming stopped and looked at him.

"...Aren't you waiting for me?" Lu Yiming gave a mean smile under the moonlight.

"..." Kim Poro originally planned to keep silent, but for some reason he couldn't move his eyes, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "Can't you?"

Lu Yiming didn't expect Kim Poro to admit it directly, but he was a little embarrassed instead.

Immediately he couldn't help laughing at himself: What's so embarrassing about this? !

There is a warmth that is completely different from the current cool temperature slowly flowing through my heart.

He scratched his head, coughed, and said, "Tomorrow, we'll go to the county."

"Oh." Kim Poro responded, frowning slightly, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

There doesn't seem to be any business coming into the county in the shop recently.

He hates crowded places, and generally doesn't like to go there.

"You..." Lu Yiming stretched out his right hand, opened his upper lip and stuck it into Kimporo's mouth, rubbed his canine teeth with his index finger and thumb, and smiled wickedly, "These two teeth. Grind them out."

I was delayed by something last time, and I haven't finished it yet.

Kim Poro didn't bite him with those two fangs as usual, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly, lowered his head slightly, enclosed his fingers, and gently swept his tongue over the tips of his fingers.

Lu Yiming's fingers were itchy for a while, and he quickly pulled them back with a look of disgust.

Kim Poro grabbed his wrist, and he raised his head in panic: "Tsk, you're still addicted to food!"

snort.There is no reason not to eat what is delivered to the mouth.Obviously you sent it over for me to eat, but you have to blame me.

Kimporo nibbled the back of his hand lightly with a half-smile, and let go.

Then he opened his arms and hugged the somewhat stiff Young Master Lu tightly into his arms, and deliberately said in a low and magnetic voice:

"Do you want to eat me too?"

This is... I accidentally let him fall in love? !

Lu Yiming avoided the lips that he rubbed over, frowned and said, "No need."

He's so sleepy right now that he just wants to take a shower and get some sleep.

Jin Poluo's scorching gaze seemed to dim for a moment, as if the candlelight had been extinguished somewhere, Lu Yiming was stunned and at a loss for a moment.

The arms around his shoulders slowly loosened.

Lu Yiming sighed softly in his heart, and said in a low voice, "You...close your eyes."

Seeing that Jin Poluo was still looking at him intently, Lu Yiming became a little impatient: "Shut up."

Kim Poro blinked, but didn't intend to close his eyes.

Lu Yiming cursed in his heart, stretched out his right hand to cover Kimporo's eyes, and after confirming that he really couldn't see, he smiled, leaned closer, and quickly rubbed Kimporo's thin lips.

Before he could leave lightly like last time, a gentle force suddenly grabbed the back of his head, blocking his way back.

Lu Yiming struggled in panic, a kiss that was more real than before was already on his lips.

Kim Poro supported his right hand that was covering his eyes tightly with one hand, and rested his head with the other, with a hidden smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

Lu Yiming didn't say anything.

The corner of Kimporo's mouth curled up arrogantly.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two overlapped.

Kiss like the spring breeze and spring rain, again and again.
