Guanqingzhai

The man showed his white teeth. He sneered and said, "Find me? Someone would come here just to find me? Do you know who I am?"

The man's pale skin seemed to be transparent. He took a step forward, pinched Hu Yue's chin, looked down at him and said, "But you can't go anymore, you might as well close your eyes obediently. Just like them. No, You are different, you can stay with me longer and longer."

He put his face close to Hu Yue, and stretched out his hands to stroke Hu Yue's eyebrows and temples, as if he cherished them very much.He continued to murmur, "Maybe you can stay with me instead of him."

Being pressed under him, Hu Yue felt even colder all over. The corners of his eyes flashed around, and there were corpses all around him. Hu Yue didn't want to think about what was leaning on him, some of these corpses were already tattered It's unbearable, and some of them can still tell what they look like, but no matter how dilapidated they are, they haven't rotted.The corpses were stacked horizontally and vertically like dead wood.

These corpses exude an indescribable stench, Hu Yue held his breath, but the man with a pale face hugged him, there was no heat on Hu Yue's body, but the man still seemed to be able to feel the temperature of Hu Yue's body She hugged him and caressed his body.Hu Yue found that the white clothes on his body were wrapped around Hu Yue's body, as long as the place touched by that person was very cold, he raised his hand and found that his hand was festering.The man wanted to devour himself.

Although he was aware of this, he felt no pain, only a bone-chilling chill.The tighter he hugged him, the colder he felt.

Just when the man lifted Hu Yue's chin and wanted to kiss him, suddenly a pair of hands grabbed Hu Yue's hand and pulled him out forcefully.

Hu Yue fell into that person's arms, and that person's body was warm, which made Hu Yue unable to move while leaning against him, and did not want to move.

Hu Yue pointed to that person and said, "I found it..." Before he could finish speaking, he passed out.

Chu Jue hugged Hu Yue, and he looked at the man, although he didn't speak, but his eyes were full of cold anger.

That person was obviously very afraid of Chu Jue. Chu Jue didn't move, but the corpses under his feet began to squirm, moving towards that person as if they felt something.

He stared at Chu Jue, and said with a sneer, "He has already eaten the food here, and as long as he eats it, there will only be one end. It's really rare for someone who can make you show such an expression. I also want to know what it's like for him." .”

Chu Jue still didn't answer him, but the man found that he could no longer move or borrow his soul.He is like frozen water.He felt that the pressure on his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his whole body began to tremble, as if there was a mountain on his body.

Chu Jue looked down at Hu Yue who was lying on her chest, shook her head slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you not to eat? It's too greedy."

The man was irritated by Chu Jue's attitude. In order to make a final fight, those wriggling corpses seemed to feel his anger and blatant fear, twisted together as if they were alive, and stood between him and Chu Jue. between.

Hu Yue opened his eyes with difficulty, Chu Jue was still supporting his waist, Hu Yue pulled his arm and said, "It seems that I lost this game."

Chu Jue approached him gently and said, "Leave the rest to me."

Those wall-like corpses stretched out many hands towards Chu Jue and the others, and those hands waved towards them like hooks.

Chu Jue stood there without moving, because they couldn't see the man's face because of the body.

Hu Yue raised his head slightly, he could only look at Chu Jue like this, with such a cold expression, he was very strange.He didn't know Chu Jue like that.

Chu Jue ignored the man's words at all, and said coldly, "One of his crimes is leaving his post without authorization."

He took a step towards the wall of the corpse, and heard the corpse screaming like a pheasant, and then began to collapse little by little.

The corpses began to rot gradually, and the flesh and blood melted down like slurry. Through such layers of corpse walls, Hu Yue saw the eyes of that person, and in those lonely and miserable eyes finally appeared other Look, scared, he was very afraid of Chu Jue.But there is no ability to resist at all.

Chu Jue spoke again: "The second crime is detaining dead souls without authorization."

The melted corpse fell to the ground like muddy water, but it still wriggled as if alive, and leaned towards the man whose lower body was already covered by these corpses.Unable to move half a step.

The man covered his face, he trembled and wanted to ask for mercy, but he couldn't.

Chu Jue looked at him and said coldly: "The third crime..."

At that moment, a person suddenly jumped out from the pile of corpses, that person desperately pulled the corpses on the person's legs, and those corpses wriggled and entangled even more frantically.

Hu Yue recognized the man holding the lantern. His body was incomplete, only half of his body was left, but he was still pulling desperately with one hand.

The man looked at him with wide eyes, and the two looked at each other without saying a word, but there was no trace of fear in those eyes.

The corpses covered them quickly, and he only helped him for a very brief time.The man looked back at Chu Jue, and there was a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Chu Jue still said, "The third crime is to transform into a human form and cause harm to the world."

As soon as the words fell, the man was completely covered by the corpse, and then a beam of flame burst out from the corpse, the flame was blue-purple, and the white lantern paper and bamboo frame could be vaguely seen in the corpse.The flames burned bigger and bigger, and all the corpses burned up.

Until it burned out, the flame still did not go out. Chu Jue took out a white jade bottle, and then the flame was sucked into the jade bottle.

But just as he entered, Hu Yue clearly heard a sigh.I don't know who the lament came from.

Hu Yue shivered from the cold, but still joked, "Brother Chu, I'm the loser this time..."

Chu Jue pursed his lips, Hu Yue saw that he still hadn't moved, and wanted to go back.Chu Jue pulled him back, and he frowned and said, "The things I gave you are for your life, not for others. If I come later, I can only go to your grave today next year I've offered you a sacrificial wine. Do you really want to die that much?"

Hu Yue reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "If I can really die, it's good luck, and it's a blessing to be able to drink to death."

Chu Jue shook his head wordlessly, and Hu Yue said, "What are you going to do with that girl?"

Chu Jue said: "Everything depends on God's will."

Hu Yue said: "I drank alcohol, how can you save me?"

Chu Jue sighed and hugged him horizontally, Chu Jue said: "Close your eyes and sleep, as long as I'm here, you won't die."

Hu Yue gave a wry smile, only feeling the heat from Chu Jue's body being transmitted to his body, resisting the severe cold even a little bit, and then fell into a deep sleep. In his sleep, he heard the sound of rain washing away.

On the bank of the river, there is a dim lamp, which is all the light sources here, dim but the only one.The heavy rain washes away, but the lights do not go out, and the river beats on the bank. This night is cold and dark.

There is a person under the light, he is squatting under the tree on the bank, only one light is shining on him, the mottled shadow of the tree falls on his face, it is hard to see clearly, he seems to blend with the river bank For the sake of oneness, but it seems that it will disappear in the next second.

Hu Yue looked at him, but he couldn't see Hu Yue. He had been guarding by the river, not knowing what he was waiting for.Hu Yue wanted to ask him, but couldn't.

While the light was in a trance, Hu Yue vaguely noticed the shadow of a person illuminated by the light. He was dressed in white and had a faint cold light all over his body, like a moon.But it was terribly cold, and he stood behind the man, also looking at the river bank.The two remained motionless, the man looked back at Hu Yue, his eyes were lonely and sad, he pointed to the river bank, and then pointed to the man, Hu Yue could only faintly hear his words: "He has been waiting for a long time ... I don't know who he is waiting for, if the person he is waiting for comes, he will leave here too. I will be the only one left here."

Hu Yue asked, "So do you want to keep him?"

The man tilted his head, as if thinking about a very difficult question, he murmured: "Do you want to keep him? If that person doesn't come, will he stay here forever? Stay here? "

Hu Yue felt that she was getting farther and farther away from the river bank. The man in white passed him a glance, then turned to look at the river, and the picture became more and more blurred. He closed his eyes, trying to sleep on.

"Young master? Young master, are you awake?"

Hu Yue opened her eyes again, and saw Hongqiao leaning against the bed, and his whole body leaning against Chu Jue.Chu Jue just woke up from a dream.

He looked at Hongqiao and said, "I'm awake?"

Hongqiao nodded seriously and said, "Master, you slept for a whole day and night. If Mr. Chu hadn't been with you all the time, I would have thought you had fallen asleep."

Hu Yue covered his head, and said to Chu Jue behind him, "It seems that I lost this bet."

Chu Jue still had a straight face, and said with resentment: "If it wasn't for me to see the wrong time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to come back."

Hu Yue laughed, he stood up and said, "What method did you use to force the cold out of my body?"

Chu Jue looked at the white jade bottle next to him with a smile and said, "You have to tie the bell to untie it. Naturally, the Yellow Spring Lamp is extremely cold, but its wick is super-yang, and it is produced by the true fire of Samadhi." burn."

Hu Yue covered his head, looked at his hands and said, "It seems that this time I won't be able to die again..."

Hong Qiao hurriedly covered Hu Yue's mouth and said, "Master, please don't talk nonsense, I don't know whether you are dead or not, why you suddenly passed out, and then... um, Mr. Chu just hugged you like this... ...I lay down for a long time..." As she spoke, Hong Qiao's face also turned red.

But Chu Jue didn't mind at all, he said: "If it weren't for this, the younger brother might never come back, maybe he would just sleep like this for the rest of his life." Then he leaned close to Hu Yue's ear, sneered very lightly and said: "Xiang Brother, you can't die, so it's fine to just sleep like this for the rest of your life, then it's fine to let me do whatever I want."

Hu Yue felt as if he drank the yellow spring wine, his whole body was so cold, he shivered.Looking at Chu Jue's eyes, he turned pale with fright and said with a dry smile, "Brother Chu...you were joking..."

Only then did Chu Jue let him go, came from the bed first, walked to the table and made tea for Hu Yue and said, "Why did you choose that child? Obviously it would be easier if you entered that Fang Yan's dream."

Hu Yue looked at Chu Jue and said: "Naturally, it is because the child's dream is the most original form. Adults' dreams will change according to their own desires, but children's dreams are the most capable It reflects the original appearance, and the Huangquan Lantern will only appear in the dreams of the dying. Among the three, only this child has the least contact with the world. It is also the easiest to find the Huangquan Lantern. Otherwise, I would have to look for a long time It can only be met, but it may not be able to recognize it. Moreover, that child is the only one who is not lost. She has been carried by her mother, so she is not walking on her own will."

Chu Jue drank tea while listening to Hu Yue's explanation.But Hongqiao didn't understand and asked: "What Huangquan lantern? What does this have to do with you fainting, young master? And why did Mr. Chu Jue hug you to sleep?"

Hu Yue rubbed his neck and found that Hongqiao was just very concerned about why Chu Jue was holding him all the time. When he drank up the water, Hongqiao quickly filled it up for him. Hu Yue could only continue to explain: "Qiaoer is still there Remember that there are always boats capsized recently? This kind of death is very abnormal and too frequent. So our young master Chu guessed that someone was seduced, and those who escaped said that they could inexplicably see a Lantern Man. He has been wandering by a river all the time, so we speculate that it may be because of the Lantern of the Underworld. It is a lantern that can lead people into the Way of the Underworld, but it only appears in the dreams of dying people. And if the living see it, they may have the worry of life and death. But if the lanterns of the underworld do not lead the dead into the underworld, but instead detain the dead souls, those dead will no longer be able to reincarnate, and can only stay on the shore of the underworld, with the It's a lamp. It's against the law of nature.

In addition, if the lamp transforms into other forms, if the main body is not found, this matter still cannot be solved.So I made an agreement with Brother Chu that we must find that lamp before dusk and night.Unfortunately I lost. "

Hongqiao asked: "Then why are there three drowned people... Those three people are already dead."

Hu Yue shook her fingers and said, "I'm not completely dead yet. The soul is in the corpse within three days, so as long as I can enter the dream of the deceased, I can find the Huangquan Lantern. It's just..."

Chu Jue snorted, and then said: "It's just that a certain person was greedy for alcohol and couldn't help but drank the things from Huangquan, and he almost couldn't come back. I drew a cake for him, as long as he eats this in his dream, he will be happy." You won’t feel hungry, but it’s a pity that he saw that the child still had a trace of breath, so he wanted to save her from the sun. Hmph, those who know think you have good intentions, but..."

Chu Jue's eyes turned cold, and he seldom said angrily, "For a person who wants to die whenever he has a chance, maybe he just wants to grab a place. Others are rushing to reincarnate to a good family, but he is fine." , grabbing the chance to fight to the death with others.”

Hu Yue rubbed his nose, and said in a bumpy voice, "Brother Chu misunderstood, I was just greedy for drinking, as for saving people..."

Hongqiao interrupted Hu Yue's speech, she quickly interjected: "Then that child will be resurrected?"

Chu Jue said: "Not necessarily, if Yangshou is exhausted, even if she does not eat the things of Huangquan, she will still set foot on the road to Huangquan, but if Yangshou is not exhausted, then maybe she will wake up by herself. It all depends on the number of days." Jue glanced at Hu Yue, with a flash of coldness in his eyes, and added: "The destiny cannot be violated."

Hu Yue looked at the white jade bottle and said: "This lamp is just to accompany someone to wait for someone's arrival, and finally wait and wait, but forget that I am just a companion, wanting to keep that person, such an idea Let her detain all the souls of the dead on the shore of Huangquan."

Chu Jue blew on the tea leaves and said, "Dead spirits cannot respond to feelings."

Hu Yue didn't answer, but why did the corrupted corpse at the end try so hard to protect the lamp spirit?

Hongqiao frowned and sat on the stool, she sighed and said, "Then it seems that this lamp is quite pitiful."

Hu Yue laughed and said, "She's still a beauty..."

Chu Jue was still angry, but he couldn't get angry just looking at Hu Yue's nonchalant face. He said, "No matter what, the lights are still off."

A few days later, it was rumored that You'er, the youngest daughter of the He family who drowned to death, actually came back to life three days after her death.Asked by others, she only remembered that she came to a dense forest with her mother and a few boat passengers, where there was a tall and good-looking brother who refused to let her eat there, and then she fell asleep. Already at home.

When everyone heard about it, they were all amazed by it.
