Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

Chu He wrapped his nightgown tightly, stood in front of the large glass mirror in the bathroom, and sighed.Zhou Hui yawned and staggered over, kissed him on the neck, bowed his head and began to brush his teeth.

He was bare-chested, his muscular lines gave off a powerful beauty under the light, and his abs and mermaid line perfectly extended down into the low-waist underwear.The hair is very handsome, and the bridge of the nose is so straight that it reflects the light. This face is so handsome that the photo of waking up in the morning with eye feces can be directly taken for the cover of a fashion magazine.

Chuhe looked at himself in the mirror who was pale, tired and sickly, and then at him, and suddenly felt a very strange feeling in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Hui asked in a daze.

Chuhe didn't answer at first, but poured a glass of warm water to drink, and after drinking half of the glass, he said thoughtfully: "I was thinking... If we are like this, if others see us, they will think how much money I have spent to support you ?”

Zhou Hui burst out laughing: "Honey, anyone will think that you are being taken care of by my domineering president, right?" The mirror shook his head.

"..." Chuhe suddenly felt that he was in the zoo, thinking that I really shouldn't challenge his thickness, how could I be so sloppy... He sighed, pointed out the window and said: "It's time, you should withdraw Enchanted."

Zhou Hui didn't care, "It's not dawn yet."

Indeed, it should be bright in the early morning of summer in City H, but it is still dark outside the window, layers of black clouds fill the sky, there is no moonlight at all, it looks like midnight.

Chu He folded his arms and leaned in front of the glazed platform, narrowing his eyelashes slightly, staring down at Zhou Hui from under the tips of his hair.It just so happened that Zhou Hui spit out the mouthwash, turned his head to see his eyes, and immediately smiled: "My dear, your expression is so exciting... Do you remember when you descended into the sea of ​​blood as the Phoenix Ming King When crossing thousands of demon souls, it was this look..."

Chuhe asked suspiciously: "You were there at that time? Why weren't you sent to Purdue?"

Zhou Hui washed his face, closed his eyes and searched for a wet towel. After a while, he smiled and said, "...I was masturbating at that time."

Chuhe: "..."

Zhou Hui hummed a tune and called room service, and told him to deliver it to the door instead of bringing it in.Who knew that the doorbell would still ring after a while, not only did it ring, but it kept ringing persistently. Zhou Hui, who was putting on hairspray very smugly, became anxious when it rang, walked over and opened the door and asked, "Didn't I ask you ... the sixth child?"

Li Hu stood at the door, pushing the dining cart with one hand, and slapped the document on Zhou Hui's face with the other, and said coldly, "Tianqi Construction is your property."

"..." Zhou Hui hurriedly held the document, looked down at the approval report of a certain construction plan marked with the word "Monday", and immediately cheered up with a smile: "Dear you, dear, I want to have some breakfast Dear? Don’t mind pushing the dining car away, let’s put this meal on my brother’s account, 88, dear!” After saying that, he stretched out his hand and closed the door.

Li Hu desperately pressed against the door panel: "You bastard! You deliberately sold that piece of land to the Japanese. That building is not a residential building at all, it is obviously..."

"What is it?"

Li Hu and Zhou Hui shut up at the same time, looked up and saw Chu He standing in the living room, barefoot wearing a white bathrobe, holding a glass of water, slightly raising half of his eyebrows.

The expressions of the two became stiff at the same time, and they looked at each other in a blink of an eye—Li Hu's face was clearly written: "There is obviously something wrong with the birth, what should I do?" Zhou Hui's expression was very bachelor: " I don't know, who told you to bring this matter to my wife!"

"What's wrong with the Japanese?" Chu He asked with great interest, "If I don't talk about it, I will think that you two fell asleep, and then the sixth child will be born."

The two shuddered at the same time, Zhou Hui reacted quickly, and immediately pointed to Tianhua to show his loyalty: "Daughter-in-law, you know! To me, this fox is my sister-in-law! No, she is even younger than my sister-in-law! ——We just now It’s just that I opened a construction company when you were away for the past two years, so let’s go to the bank today and hand over my private money to you..."

Boom!

A bright flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky outside the window, followed by thunder that shook the sky and interrupted Zhou Hui's speech.

Zhou Hui was shocked and said: "... Isn't it just to hide some private money, as for the lightning strike?!"

The corner of Chu He's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned and ran to the window.At this moment, I saw another thunderbolt coming down the mountain like a long winding dragon, drawing a dazzling S-arc between the sky and the earth, and then slashing heavily towards the suburbs of the city!

--boom!

At this moment, Li Hu's cell phone rang, and the sudden shriek startled everyone, only to see that it was Mayor Huang displayed on the screen.As soon as Li Hu reached out to pick it up, Chu He grabbed it and asked, "Hello?"

"Chu, President Chu? I call you a fairy, where have you been dead these two days!" Mayor Huang's side was thundering and lightning, but he could still hear his hoarse roar: "Come to the suburban construction site! Something went wrong, and a sinkhole collapsed on the side of the birthplace!"

"...Ground birth?"

"Come here quickly, we are going to organize people to rescue!" Mayor Huang sternly said: "Also, your red car is parked by the sinkhole, your brother may be stuck in it!"

·

Meanwhile, 40 meters underground.

Zhang Shun couldn't remember how many times he fell down.He fell to the ground, his knee hit the sharp stone surface heavily, blood flowed all over his calf, but the pain had been completely numb from repeated falls.

The Japanese at the back wanted to beat him up cursingly, but Yan Lanyu stopped him, pulled him up and said coldly in Japanese: "Be careful yourself."

This seam became wider as it went down. At first, one had to hold one's breath and enter sideways. Later, it was no problem for a person to stride with his arms thrown aside.But even so, the ruggedness of the road and the sharpness and weirdness of the rocks on both sides are indescribable. Not only Zhang Shun, but even a few Japanese soldiers behind him also fell a lot. When turning a corner, a raised stone scratched their forehead. His face was covered with blood.

Aida had already taken off his gray suit jacket, panting and asked, "How far is it?"

Another turn was encountered, but was covered by a collapse of rubble.Yan Lanyu pulled out a short knife from her back, pried open a few larger stones, and managed to clear a passage two feet square.

"Here we are," the boy coughed a few times in the splashing dust, and took the lead in ducking in.

Zhang Shun was the second one, followed in without a choice, looked up at the space inside, and was stunned.

This is not an underground cave formed by natural collapse. There are strong traces of artificial carving on the walls and ground. When a few Japanese lighted the fireworks, you can see that the surrounding stone walls are covered with dense patterns, because of the perennial water seepage. , some have decayed, exuding an indescribable smell.

The frightening thing is that these patterns continue to extend far away along the stone wall. Several people use wolf-eyed flashlights, and they can vaguely see that the cave is as big as a football field!

"Look!" A Japanese suddenly exclaimed, "There are also things carved on the ground!"

Zhang Shun couldn't understand Japanese, but seeing everyone lowered their heads, he also lowered his head and looked down, only to see that the stone floor was engraved with exactly the same pattern as the wall.After all, Zhang Ershao is a master's degree from a foreign school. After doing too many experiments, his eyes are still quite poisonous. Slowly, he can see that these patterns are all repetitive paragraphs of text, but the hands and feet are entangled together. Like some kind of weird twisted pattern.

"Master Lanyu," these Japanese subordinates are still quite taboo towards Yan Lanyu, and one of them asked very respectfully, "Where is this spell? What is it forbidden?"

Holding the flashlight, Yan Lanyu stared straight at the ground under her feet, and after a while she slowly pronounced a very strange syllable, saying, "This is the Great Forbidden Curse, and it's a piece of Sanskrit."

"Sanskrit?"

"Well, these runes are all repeated, and only one sentence is said."

He took a deep breath, and for some reason Zhang Shun felt that he smiled, but the smile was very strange: "There are things here, which have been condemned by heaven. There are a total of 99 million Great Forbidden Curses here. It's all these words."

Looking at his expression, Zhang Shun couldn't help shivering.

Not only him, but several other Japanese were also terrified at the same time. The person who asked the question just now was shocked and said: "But here——this place is so big, and all the stone walls and ground are engraved with this sentence, who could do it?" of? And why on earth—"

"It means that there is something sealed here. This thing is so fierce that it can't be suppressed without ninety-nine million ninety-nine million forbidden spells." Yan Lanyu paused, looked around and said, "As for who carved it, it should be The people who built this place. Carving scriptures is different from copying scriptures, not just anyone can carve them, especially eminent monks who are so advanced that they can use the Great Sealing Curse. The forbidden spells in the cave should all be carved out by one person."

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak. After realizing it, a few people immediately took out their mobile phones to take pictures and keep them as documents.

Aida turned around with the flashlight, probably a little agitated by the dense spells he could see, so he asked loudly, "What about the things inside? What about the birth of the earth?"

Yan Lanyu showed that weird smile again, and said:

"On your head."

As soon as Aida raised his head, the flashlight flashed upward reflexively, and everyone took a few steps back at the same time.

——On the roof of the empty cave, a coffin suddenly appeared.

That was the coffin they buried just now. It was dragged all the way to the bottom by something, and it was opened.The corpse was sitting cross-legged on the coffin lid, with a knife in its chest in one hand and pointing eastward with the other.

Even if Zhang Shun got used to these ghosts and ghosts, seeing a corpse sitting on top of his head and pointing his sword at the east was a very chilling thing.There was a buzzing sound in his head, goosebumps all over his body, but his eyes couldn't help but look in that direction along Xiaoshi's hand——

He saw a man hanging there.

That's the person he saw in Li Hu's mirror image.

He was about three or four meters above the ground, his hands were tied, his head was naturally drooped, and his long hair was also loose.He was wearing a robe of indeterminate age, and he didn't know if it had decayed. There were countless spells written on the robe densely stained with blood, all of which were exactly the same as the great banning spell on the stone wall and the ground.

They tremblingly took the wolf-eyed flashlights to shine on them, and at first they didn't make a sound. After a while, they heard a Japanese sigh: "It's really...so beautiful..."

Indeed, this person's face has a thrilling beauty that does not distinguish between men and women and transcends gender. In such an eerie underground, people can't help but forget all fears.In the mirror image, Zhang Shun had already experienced this feeling of intimidation. Now that he met face to face, he realized how real the shock was.

——But after watching it for a while, another feeling gradually surfaced in his mind.

This person is not his brother.

Yes, he realized more and more clearly that this person is unlikely to be his brother, because he slowly saw another thing from this person's face——

·

— Yin and evil.

Zhang Shun thought he was wrong, he blinked vigorously, but the indescribable evil and coldness came out from that person's face more and more clearly.

Zhang Ershao's limited language skills can't describe this weird feeling. This face is obviously beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a creation of heaven, but it is from the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, and from every pore. evil.Zhang Shun has seen the promotional pictures of villains in online games, some of them have blood-red eyes and hideous faces, which are quite scary to look at, but there is no way to compare with this kind of eerie and evil feeling that directly stabs your heart.

Zhang Shun had only seen a similar feeling on the face of another person—Mozun Fanluo.

He subconsciously took half a step back.

"Why is it not an embryo?" At this time, a Japanese also found something wrong, but unlike Zhang Shun, he seemed to be unaware of the evil on the ground's birth: "The notes of the Qing Dynasty clearly stated that the birth of the earth is a fetus." The few babies who have come out of the womb are already the best in the world, why is this an adult?"

Another subordinate retorted: "It's rare to have a baby born on earth. It's hard to say what it is like. Maybe this one has already grown?"

Several people were still arguing, but Zhang Shun was already in a cold sweat.He stared closely at the face full of evil spirits and viciousness, and said to himself that no matter what, don't let this baby go down, and let it continue to be held by 9000 million forbidden spells. The face is so fucking scary...

"It's possible to give birth to an adult," Yan Lanyu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said while several Japanese were arguing with each other.

As soon as he made a sound, everyone stopped arguing, and at the same time shut their mouths and listened to him.It seemed that although the Japanese named Aida would beat and scold him, these ordinary Japanese subordinates were very, very jealous of Onmyoji, and no one showed any emotion other than respect.

"Earthborn fetuses can't give birth for ten thousand years in the dragon veins under the mountains and ice caps, because they only survive on the feng shui treasures in nature and lack of popularity to nourish them. And the ones found in Xinjiang, Northeast China and other places in the last century There are many babies born on the ground, and there is a baby girl hidden in the cave, about three feet high, with complete facial features and fetal hair, and a lifelike face. Local rumors that you can even hear babies crying late at night are because there are local Thin populations make relationships that nourish."

"You mean that city H is densely populated, so the ground births grow faster?" Aida asked incredulously.

Yan Lanyu's expression was very calm: "It is indeed possible."

Aida was still hesitating, but Yan Lanyu said, "If you want to take it off, hurry up, we're almost too late."

Everyone was surprised, only to see him circling around the grotto with a flashlight.I saw that although the stone wall was heavily infiltrated by groundwater just now, at least there were still some dry places, but now not only all the walls are soaked, but water in some places even flowed down along the patterns carved on the stone.

"It started to rain heavily from above, and the groundwater will soon pour in." The young onmyoji paused, and then said: "Besides, there was a lot of movement when we came down, and the people who should be attracted may have already been attracted. It's..."

The subordinates couldn't help being shocked, and some of them reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Aida!"

Aida seemed to be a little hesitant - fierce and cunning people are generally cautious.But the people had already come down, and there was really no way to just turn back like this. Among other things, if they didn't have a baby, they would definitely not be able to leave City H under Zhou Hui's nose.

"Go and put down the ground birth," Xiangtian pointed to Yan Lanyu, and ordered two more subordinates: "Go and build a ladder for him!"

The two subordinates had no objection, and when they reached the feet of the hanging fetus, Yan Lanyu quickly climbed up the shoulders of the two.Several other people set up something similar to a pulley on the ground, which should be the equipment prepared in advance to drag the ground tire to the ground—obviously they overestimated the size of the ground tire by mistake. In fact, a stretcher is enough.

Aida stared at Yan Lanyu, and saw him standing next to the raw tire, his face almost pressed against its ear, and he took out a short knife from his waist with his backhand, comparing and comparing it as if he was measuring how to hold the seal hanging on it cut off.

——An unspeakable sense of foreboding suddenly seized Aida's heart.

Aida has rich experience and is ruthless, otherwise he would not be able to achieve this position in the Tantric sect.He rarely had such uneasy premonitions, but every time something big happened, and every time something big happened, at least half of the people would die.

Aida's eyelids twitched wildly, and he took a deep breath almost subconsciously: "Wait!"

Everyone looked at him, but he suddenly turned to Yan Lanyu: "Don't let go! Wait—"

Yan Lanyu looked straight at him, and smiled very strangely:

"Too late."

As he said that, he raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, and the raw tire fell heavily to the ground with a plop!

At that moment, Aida's whole body was cold, even the blood was cold, and there was a complete silence in the grotto, everyone could hear their own heartbeat clearly.

However, a full ten seconds, or even a minute passed, and nothing happened.

"Mr....Mr. Aida..." One of his subordinates asked tremblingly, "Are you okay? You..."

Only then did Aida feel his tongue numb, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice was almost hoarse: "No, it's all right."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and one person tentatively wanted to ask something, but was immediately stopped by his companion with a wink.During their stalemate, the gurgling sound of the groundwater pouring outside became louder and louder. A few brave ones leaned over to look at the unborn baby, and saw that it fell to the ground, and it didn't seem to be dangerous. Turn around and start pulling the pulley.

At this moment, a man suddenly stood up and asked doubtfully, "Did you hear anything?"

"No."

"Hear what?"

After everyone was quiet, the only sound left in the grotto was the sound of groundwater seeping through.However, only a few seconds later, someone suddenly said in surprise: "Laughter, laughter...it's laughter! Someone is laughing!"

Zhang Shun got close to that person, and instantly shivered with horror, followed by a faint, eerie laugh from the back of his head!

"Ahhh!"

"Someone is really laughing!"

"what sound?!"

While everyone was restless, suddenly a hand fell down and sat on the ground, pointing at the unborn baby as if seeing a ghost, even the voice trembling: "——It's it! It's the newborn! It's laughing!"

In an instant, everyone looked back, only to see that the baby moved once, then moved again, and after a few seconds, it sat up slowly and straight.

Seeing its beautiful face, Zhang Shun immediately went "hum!" in his mind.

It laughed, and the corners of its mouth almost reached the ears. It looked very familiar, just like Qixiao Corpse!

"..." It seemed to say something, and then grabbed the Japanese who had fallen on the ground and couldn't get up, and with lightning speed, opened his mouth and forcibly tore off a piece of flesh on his neck!

There was a tearing sound, and everyone's complexion changed drastically, and the carotid artery of the eaten person spurted blood, and screamed in a pool of blood: "Help! Help! Help me——"

Aida didn't even think about it, he raised his gun and shot!Bang bang bang, all the bullets hit the ground fetus, and in the next second they all bounced back with the crackling of the bullet casings!

The earth-born fetus seemed unaware of the bullets. After swallowing the flesh and blood, it lowered its head and tore off a large piece, chewing and swallowing the skin.The scene was so bloody that Zhang Shun's stomach rushed up to his throat in an instant. A few timid Japanese had already vomited it out, but more people rushed forward as soon as they grabbed daggers, short knives and other things.

"Don't go!" Aida couldn't stop him, and saw that the raw fetus didn't respond to the cold weapon that fell on him, and casually threw the man who was only exhaled but not inhaled, then stood up, and grabbed another person casually , Bite off the throat with one bite!

"Come back quickly!" Aida said angrily, "That's not the birth of the earth! It's the most ominous thing in the world!"

His subordinates hesitated for half a second. Seeing that the two captured companions would never be rescued, they ran out with a huff.However, the whole chaotic process of dumpling in the mud soup lasted only a few seconds, and then the figure of the unborn baby disappeared, blocking the stone gate out of thin air.

It was still smiling, although the smile was much more normal, but the combination of extreme beauty and soaring evil spirit made people feel distorted and creepy.

Everyone backed away nervously, Aida's hand holding the gun trembled so much that it might go off at any moment: "This...what the hell is this?!"

Earthborn looked at him, suddenly brushed his long hair behind his ears with his blood-stained hands, turned his head and said something sinisterly.

Its voice is too hoarse, and the paralysis of the throat muscles caused by not speaking for many years should take some time to disappear. No one can hear what it is saying clearly.But soon the fetus repeated it again, this time it was clearer, and everyone heard it say a complete sentence: "Do you... want to know?"

——It can speak human language!

Everyone was stunned, and the situation became particularly absurd for a while.

"You guys... fed me too many poisonous things..." The earthborn baby's voice was hoarse due to the paralysis of the throat muscles after not speaking for many years, but it seemed to be very happy, every word slowly Said: "Don't you understand? You... were sent down by my father."

Before anyone could react, I saw it move its head, and there was a crunching sound in its neck bone, "After so many years, finally...give me normal food."

·

Meanwhile, the ground.

The black Mulsanne made a "呵——" in the water and stopped at the gate of the construction site. The yellow and black cordon was washed all over the ground in the heavy rain, and the policemen wrapped in thick raincoats were drenched like soaked chickens.Mayor Huang was yelling at the leaders of the city police station. As soon as the car arrived, he immediately pushed the secretary and the others away. He didn't even need an umbrella, and rushed towards him against the torrential rain like a whip: "Chu, Mr. Chu!"

Zhou Hui smiled and got out of the car, blocked Mayor Huang with one hand, and asked kindly, "What's the matter, old Huang?"

Zhou Hui was still wearing his motorcycle leather jacket, which was extremely expensive at first glance, and he took off his sunglasses gracefully. His kind and loving eyes made Mayor Huang shudder, and tremblingly said: "I...I'm looking for Mr. Chu... ..."

Chuhe got off the car from the other side, his face sank like water and he said, "Where's my brother?"

Zhou Hui ignored him, and grabbed Mayor Huang and taught him: "Look at you, you are such a big weasel, and you only open your mouth to call President Chu when you have nothing to do. Isn't it embarrassing? Are you really your mother? What I said before I left, you have to move to the city when the seventh corpse appears, don’t you listen to my words? If you want Mr. Chu to be your mother, you must at least call me Dad..."

Chu He stretched out his hand and pulled Mayor Huang over forcefully: "Have the organizers gone down? Have you seen Zhang Shun?"

Before Mayor Huang could react, Zhou Hui stretched out his hand to cross the Chu River again, with an extremely tough posture: "Your brother is a three-year-old child, without you, you don't know how to drink milk?!"

Chuhe's face really seemed to be enduring - Mayor Huang felt that this President Chu, who had never shown any emotions, had really reached the point where he couldn't bear it.

"You lured people from the Tantric sect down on purpose," he gritted his teeth and said hoarsely, "You clearly know that Maha is already like this, but you still dare to feed him blood in order to help him lure a few more thunderstorms." ?"

Zhou Hui's response was to roll his eyes without hesitation: "Oh, you know everything now, didn't you pretend to be innocent just now and asked me what's next? Are you pretending to be a wolf with a big tail?"

The two of them looked at each other, Chuhe didn't know whether it was cold or too angry, the hands in the pockets of his trousers were trembling slightly inconspicuously.And Zhou Hui was humming a ditty, with an expression of a rogue that you have already been fucked by me and you are my man, what else can you do now.

Li Hu watched from the side and sighed, and murmured while changing his flat shoes: "It's really a repertoire..."

Mayor Huang was at a loss, looking at this and then at that - for some reason, he suddenly felt a strange atmosphere between these two people.

It was clear that when they met last time, swords were on the verge of attack and undercurrents were turbulent. A temptation, a defense, and every sentence seemed to hide countless wits; but now there is a very strange feeling of tit-for-tat.

It's the feeling that only happens between very close people, that they're hostile to each other, but at the same time they're so exclusive that no one can come between them.

"No... I'm sorry to bother you," Mayor Huang raised his hand tremblingly, and asked, "Down... is there a baby born or given birth below? We're going to organize a search and rescue team now, but... is it okay?"

Zhou Hui and Chu He turned their heads to look at him at the same time.

The corners of poor Mayor Huang's mouth twitched almost to the point of froze, and only then did he hear Chu He whisper, "I'll go down too." He didn't open an umbrella as he spoke, and strode towards the huge crack in the ground in the rain.

Zhou Hui rolled his eyes and hooked Mayor Huang's chubby shoulders, "Old Huang prepares for me, and I will go down to save people myself...why? Why do you look at me like that?"

The ruffian sighed, shrugged his shoulders politely and said, "Let me introduce to you, the thing that is acting as a demon down here is called Maha, and it is my unworthy eldest son who is dead... Otherwise, do you think I will go down? What the hell do you really think that I am a noble character and lead the way?"
