zero o'clock

【Back to reality】

In the real world, the last grain of sand in the quartz hourglass falls.

Yan Mo, who was leaning on the table of the Eight Immortals and resting his chin to read, stopped turning the pages if he felt something, raised his eyelashes, and the man's slightly surprised red eyes rolled slightly, sweeping over Li Huan, who was still lying on the table without the slightest sign of waking up, Xing Yi and the mouse demon—three hours have passed, these people have not yet woken up, Qi Jingyu has gone there in person, is it possible that he still can't take down the crazy woman who played with dreams?

Yan Mo was suspicious, so he casually took a leftover herbal leaf and put it between the two pages as a mark, then closed the book upside down and put it aside.He got up and walked to the medicine cabinet, took out a handful of ground purple-red powder from the drawer, weighed it with a steelyard, and then returned to the Eight Immortals table.

Ari huddled in the corner of the pharmacy, looking overly frightened and distrusting Yan Mo, but worried about the safety of his master and the young master in the dream, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Why don't they Wake up? The Nightmare just appeared when I was exchanging with the master, so there won't be... anything wrong?"

When Master Mo Luo saw the fox, he didn't beat the fox, and didn't look at him, he stretched out two fingers to test Li Huan's breath, without raising his head, he said: "You are angry, you are not dead, probably there Temporary differences, they plan to spare the life of that girl." After finishing speaking, he snapped his fingers to ignite a cluster of dark green karmic fire, then held the flame with one hand, and sprinkled the powder bit by bit in the air with the other hand, Let it be burned evenly by the karmic fire.

In an instant, it seemed as if a wind had blown into the pharmacy, and the layers of curtains that had been lifted would move automatically without the wind.The smoke evaporated, and a strong medicinal fragrance permeated the air.

Li Huan's five fingers resting on the table moved slightly, and Yan Mo silently heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the little ghost wake up. Although he had tested his breath just now to confirm that his breathing was stable, the connection between the inside and outside of the dream was originally mysterious and mysterious, neither dying nor waking up The lessons learned from the past are not without.

Jing Yu is partial to this little apprentice, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will be another 3000-year old and dead student who has no contact with each other.

Thinking of this, Master Mo Luo couldn't help but sneered silently, and turned his palm to extinguish the fire of karma.

Just at this moment, a certain breath appeared out of nowhere behind him and trembled slightly.Yan Mo turned around when he noticed the strangeness, and looked suspiciously at Qi Jingyu who had returned from the dream, and what he was carrying in his hand—Master Mo Luo frowned, not even thinking about the fact that a certain demon fox put pigeons on the bed not long ago. Without mentioning it, he blurted out, "Why did you bring this woman back?"

Qi Jingyu threw the nightmare demon with three souls and seven souls sealed off and lost consciousness on the ground, and said lightly: "This woman knows more than we expected. It's a pity to deal with it without careful review. You are suitable for her in the preparation time." Lock people in the cell first, and I will personally go through the interrogation when Xiaohuan and the others leave."

Yan Mo raised the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, and smiled maliciously: "Master Nine Tails is going to use torture?"

Qi Jingyu gave him a sideways look coldly, and said, "Yes, if you want me to say that you devils have mouths that can't spit out ivory, each of these words is really less pleasant than the other. Xiao Huan practiced his skills, so he didn't argue too much with her, now that he came out, of course he has to be blamed for being told 'no' by this woman for no reason."

"Okay, then I'll lock him up, and you hurry to send your precious apprentice and fox spirit away, our 'business' is not over yet."

Yan Mo emphatically emphasized two words among them with a resentful expression, staring at Qi Jingyu with a smile on his face, then snapped his fingers at Nightmare, and the unconscious woman floated into the air and followed Yan Mo, The two passed through the heavy curtains and disappeared deeper into the strangely laid out pawn shop.

After he left, Qi Jingyu rarely showed a smile on his indifferent face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. He went to the Eight Immortals table and summoned Ahli, and told him to pour three cups of cold water over him. The forehead hair was a little messy.

Li Huan had just woken up, and his whole body was in pain. Yan Mo was right, the soul-condensing tea isolated all negative senses, and he couldn't feel pain in the fight in the dream, so he immediately came to him after waking up.

At this moment, Ari brought clean water with a tray in his mouth, and Qi Jingyu personally took the teacups and handed them to Li Huan and Xing Yi respectively, and motioned for the last cup to be delivered to the dazed rat demon, and then looked at the two of them again , Warmly warned: "After you go back, take a good rest. If you have nothing else to do these two days, just take a vacation. Nightmare doesn't need you to worry about it. The teacher will take care of it."

"You handed her over to Yan Mo?" Xing Yi said.

Qi Jingyu gave a "hmm", looked up at him, and explained: "That woman is a demon after all, and she is different from a demon. Yan Mo understands her own kind better, and it is not easy to have accidents when she is locked up here."

Li Huan drank the glass of water in one breath, feeling that his throat was still very dry, put down the teacup, and said to Qi Jingyu: "Teacher, I have a request, I hope you must agree."

Qi Jingyu had guessed his thoughts long ago, smiled and said, "You want me to tell you the results of interrogating Nightmare without reservation, right?"

Li Huan nodded, feeling that it would be better to talk about it, and simply said bluntly: "You have hidden too many things from me in the past, teacher, I have no other intentions, no matter what I know, I will still respect and love you." You, loyal to you, this matter concerns me and Xing Yi, so I hope you can stop treating Tuer as an outsider, and stop treating Tuer as a child who needs to rely on you for everything, some It’s something you have to face yourself.”

Qi Jingyu was startled when he heard the words, and the smile on his face froze for a moment. Li Huan's words made sense, but he still had to pay attention to the sentence "Don't treat him like a child anymore", just like all parents They will all face the fact that their children have grown up, and that feeling is both gratifying and unavoidably a little bit lost.

As soon as this thought came to him, he suddenly felt ridiculous. He had already lived for so long, so why would he worry about gain and loss over such a trivial matter?

Could it be said that the nine-tailed demon fox, who lived all her life only for herself and lived her indifferent and selfish nature to the fullest, was really turned into a mortal enslaved by emotions by a human being?

Qi Jingyu settled down, forcibly pulled his thoughts out of the vicious circle of contradictions, looked at Xing Yi and Li Huan in turn, and said, "I understand what you mean and what to do next. Go back and rest first, and I'll be there Stay here for two more days, and talk about Nightmare in detail after returning to the tea house. Xiaohuan, this time the teacher promises you that he will know everything, look, is it okay?"

Unable to explain why, Li Huan was stabbed by the politeness in the words, and was a little absent-minded for a while.Seeing that he hadn't responded, Qi Jingyu was about to ask, when Xing Yi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up and interjected, "Just do what you want. We'll go back and wait for news. Don't worry about this matter."

After speaking, he pulled Li Huan up and said, "Then let's take our leave first."

Qi Jingyu also stood up and said, "I'll let Ari go back with you, remember to send Mr. Lager to the car first."

Xing Yi didn't speak any more, just nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, then took Li Huan by the shoulder and led him out.Ari picked up the mouse monster and threw it on his back, bowed to Qi Jingyu, and followed him out.

Qi Jingyu didn't see him off, and stood by the table of the Eight Immortals. After the footsteps could not be heard at all, the smile on the man's face disappeared completely, and he sat down again without making a sound.

Behind him, the curtain fluttered, Yan Mo leaned on the door frame, looked at the man's back with a smile, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Master Nine Tails, is something on your mind?"

Qi Jingyu picked up Xing Yi's cup of untouched water and took a sip, and responded lightly: "When will you be able to correct the problem in the corner?"

"This is my home. How can you say that you are listening to the corner of the wall in your own home?" Yan Mo walked behind Qi Jingyu, pressed his hands on his shoulders, massaged him with strength, and continued with a half-smile, "Little apprentice's wings are stiff , I want to fly by myself, Jing Yu is not the first apprentice, is it so difficult to adapt?"

The strength exerted on the shoulders was just right, Qi Jingyu relaxed, leaned back into Yan Mo's arms, lowered his eyelashes, and whispered in a voice that seemed to be talking to himself: "I have no children in my life, and I have lived until now. How it feels to be a parent, Mara, do you think I am becoming more and more human?"

Yan Mo couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard the words, and pulled Qi Jingyu into his arms from behind. He unbuttoned the front of his shirt, reached in and kneaded the slightly hard part of the man's chest in an ambiguous and erotic way, and said with a joke: "You This fox is as cold as a Buddha no matter what, even when it is under me, it is no exception, if you want me to say that it is not bad to become like a human."

Having said that, he put two fingers into his shirt and exerted a little force, feeling the person in his arms trembling slightly with extreme forbearance. Yan Mo raised the corners of his mouth with a smirk, lowered his head and bit the side of Qi Jingyu's neck, leaving a bright smile there. And obvious tooth marks.

Qi Jingyu frowned slightly in pain, but didn't say anything.

A few seconds later, Yan Mo let go, looked down at the marks he had carved, smiled as if he was very satisfied, and then continued in a tone: "Although I am a demon, I can meet any needs of customers, but you say You have no children in your life, which is really difficult for me, how about I do it a few more times to compensate you?"

Qi Jingyu was almost amused by this guy's shamelessness, he didn't rush to speak, but casually flipped through the thread-bound book that looked upside down on the table.The man's slender fingers seemed to caress the title of the book unintentionally. He tilted his head and looked at Yan Mo lightly, jokingly said, "Lord Mo Luo is so excited. It's not enough to bully this deity's spiritual pet. I didn't expect to read it again." This "Jin Ping Mei" is too thirsty, isn't it?"

Mr. Mo Luo, who was inexplicably labeled as a beast fetishist: "..."

Mo Luo said: "When did I ever bully your spiritual pet? Qi Jingyu, I have only slept with you in this life, and I am not interested in the others even if they are soul-splitting."

Yan Mo took the book and threw it on the table. With a big wave of his hand, he cleaned up everything on it. He tore off his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt one by one. Tailed Fox, said: "Do you want to lie down by yourself, or do you want to stimulate a little bit and let the deity force you to lie down?"

Hearing this, Qi Jingyu got up and kicked the obstructing chair aside, untied the fox fur cloak and threw it on the table, then turned and sat on the edge of the table, raised his eyes to Yan Mo calmly, and did not speak.

The man's sitting posture is correct and elegant, his two slender legs are slightly bent, and the collar of his shirt is open, revealing the white and delicate skin on his chest, as well as the red marks left by kneading on the skin not long ago.

He supported the tabletop with one hand, and fumbled for the buttons with the other hand, and continued to undo them one by one in an extremely slow motion, revealing the thin, refined and attractively contoured abdominal muscles wrapped in the material.

Master Mo Luo only felt a bang in the head, and his eyes couldn't help moving down. It was the first time he had seen the cold and restrained nine-tailed demon fox make such a suggestive and active seduction...

Sure enough, there is no vixen in this world who is not evil.

Master Mo Luo thought very resignedly.

Qi Jingyu raised the corners of his mouth, and his amber eyes slowly smiled, showing a trace of obvious provocation.

"Old rules, please satisfy me first." He unbuckled his belt and unzipped his trousers. "Once the work is over, the deity will naturally satisfy you."

Yan Mo took a deep breath, stepped forward and pushed Qi Jingyu down on the table of the Eight Immortals. He put one hand on the side of the man's face and looked down at the pair of slightly surprised eyes: "Jiuwei, you are so proud. You, I really can't help but want to make you suffer, at least let you understand that there is still a big difference between you and me."

Qi Jingyu sneered, stretched out his hand to hook the back of Yan Mo's head, and said lightly: "I, Nine Tails, have always been arrogant without realizing it. Lord Lao Moluo taught me the difference between demons and monsters."

Yan Mo smiled helplessly, and couldn't help laughing and sighing: "In the end, I got used to your temper, and there is really nothing I can do about you."

"Shameless." Nine-Tails stared at him mischievously, and smiled himself.

That night was frosty and dewy, and there was not a single monster passing by in Nanluoguxiang. In the long night, there were occasional sounds of birds flapping their wings, but they never disappeared.

The flames of the red lantern hanging at the entrance of Wanqing's pawn shop were extinguished, symbolizing that the door was closed to thank customers tonight. The courtyard was full of spring, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom. When the warm wind blew, the tender petals fell like snowflakes.

It was a splendid spring scene that had never been seen in the harsh winter of the world, but it unexpectedly existed forever between the yin and yang worlds, in the obscure cage that imprisoned the head of all demons.

Everything is silent, and the night is approaching, but the faint "squeak" sound coming from the wide open door has no intention of stopping at all.
