Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

The sky in Beijing was still sunny in the morning, but just after noon, dark clouds quickly came from all directions, like a huge black curtain covering the sky, pressing down on the head of this international metropolis with a population of 2000 million.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the city.

The doors and windows of the warehouse were closed tightly, and the door was locked by a big lock. Under the dim light, everyone huddled together, with expressions of fear on their faces.

I saw shadowy "people" crowded outside the window, like gray ghosts in the cloudy sky.While whimpering, they stretched out their hands to scratch the doors and windows. The iron rolling shutter door had already been scratched. The glass windows were temporarily spared because they were wrapped in anti-theft nets, but the ear-piercing sound of metal friction probably lasted for a while.

Situ Yingzhi squatted in the corner of the warehouse, tore off his shirt and tied his bloody right arm, and sighed, "This is Hermes..."

The little policeman who was rescued by him stood beside him with tears of gratitude. His first reaction was to thank the third team leader for the shirt and I will pay you back. Then he heard the word Hermes, and he was struck by thunder: "Si, team leader Situ——"

"It's none of your business," said Situ Yingzhi, "I was negligent. I didn't expect that a corpse that rotted like that could turn into a corpse."

Yu Jingzhong's face was as heavy as water, holding a cigarette between his hands, and asked, "What's going on outside?"

There was a sharp crash, and another long scratch was scratched on the rolling shutter door, which looked like it was about to break.Everyone panicked and turned their guns. The two team members in the front could still hold on, but the policemen in the back were so scared that they couldn't even hold their guns steadily.

——It’s no wonder that they were originally seconded to investigate the murder and abandonment case in the warehouse. Unexpectedly, the corpse had just been unloaded from the concrete wall, and suddenly the sky outside was overcast and cloudy. Suddenly crawled out of the ground, staggeringly surrounded the abandoned warehouse.

A group of policemen have never seen this kind of battle before, and those with rich association skills immediately remembered the latest release of Resident Evil Zombie Siege. If it weren't for Team Leader Situ and Deputy Director Yu standing in front, they might have peed their pants in shock. .

"This unlucky man—" Situ Yingzhi pointed to the almost rotten corpse behind him, and said, "After he was killed here two months ago, someone did something to him and used him as an eye-catcher. An extremely powerful quadrilateral corpse formation. There happened to be a mass grave in the late Qing Dynasty near this warehouse. The corpses buried deep in the ground were attracted by the eyes of the formation, and crawled slowly from the ground to the warehouse. This is what surrounds us now. .”

"What is the purpose of this formation?" Yu Jingzhong asked.

"Gather the dead energy, and use the ground veins under this warehouse as a transmission channel to transmit the dead energy to the hands of the main team. If we hadn't unloaded the corpses from the concrete wall, all the corpses within a radius of thousands of miles would have crawled here within seven days. The amount of dead energy condensed is extremely frightening, if it were all released, it would be enough to cover half of Beijing like a mist."

Yu Jingzhong's eyelids twitched: "That Liao is just a member of the third generation of the red family. Is it enough to support it? Or is it going to seize the court and usurp the throne?!"

However, Situ Yingzhi shook his head and said, "The power of this quadrilateral walking corpse array is beyond your imagination. You can see the speed at which the corpses gather. I can't do it to this level. At least it's at the level of Boss Zhou... The person surnamed Liao should be There is a bigger black hand manipulating this matter, and he himself is just a pawn being used."

The footsteps and scratching outside became more and more dense, Yu Jingzhong looked up and asked, "Did you inform Zhou Hui?"

"I sent him a message just now. He said that he probably found the main team member, but he couldn't get away from us and sent a group of people to meet him." Situ Yingzhi said thoughtfully: "Now The most important thing is to find out what the other party is doing to collect so much death energy, and how to break this quadrilateral walking corpse..."

He was just about to go to the corpse to look for inspiration again, when suddenly there was a ferocious and mournful roar from outside the door, followed by "Boom!" The rolling shutter door was slammed loudly!

A little policeman in the front couldn't hold his gun steady immediately, and went off with a "bang!"!

"I X——" Several people cursed at the same time, and the glass shattered in response, and several black withered hands reached through the security net at the same time, grabbing the policeman closest to the window!

The little policeman let out a scream, and in the next second, Yu Jingzhong threw away the cigarette butt and stamped it out, pulled out a gun from his back waist, and fired directly. A shot from more than ten steps away broke his dead hand and flew out!

The little policeman scrambled and fell to the ground, but at this moment, the shutter door was pushed by the withered hands of countless pairs of dead bodies, and it collapsed to the ground in one piece!

Countless rotten corpses poured in, and several policemen who missed their shots were caught instantly, and some of them were almost completely submerged by the corpses.There was a sudden burst of gunfire in the warehouse, and everyone was screaming and pulling the trigger desperately. However, after being shot, many carrion corpses just fell backwards, and after a while, they could stagger back up without arms and legs. Reduce them in number.

Amidst the intense gunfire, someone soon ran out of bullets, and several carrion corpses took the opportunity to climb up and grab a policeman's leg.Two steps away, Yu Jingzhong swung the handle of the gun and smashed the carrion that was jumping at him to pieces, then threw away the empty gun, grabbed the carrion that was trying to tear the policeman with his bare hands, and hit the wall with a loud "Bang!" The rotting corpse's neck immediately fell at a [-]-degree angle.

"Vice Yu!" The policeman thanked him, but in the next second, more rotting corpses crawled up screaming, and countless hideous and terrifying faces crowded each other and stretched out in front of him.

"Low—head—!" Roaring from far to near, a group of lads rushed forward almost stepping on everyone's shoulders and heads, and rose into the air without touching their feet. hand.The first end of the rope was tied between his four fingers, and the end swept across in a fan shape, rolling up the blood, and the heads of more than a dozen carrion corpses were chopped off and flew up!

However, it was still useless. There were already more than a thousand rotting corpses gathered outside the door, and more were constantly emerging from the ground.Situ Yingzhi grabbed Yu Jingzhong and pushed him behind him. He had no time to care about other people, and raised his hand and let out a scream that went straight into the sky.

In the next second, the lightning struck down from the dark clouds, and he caught it in the air, like a dazzling long whip, he shook his hand and threw it at the crowd of carrion corpses!

Shila-!

The current raged, and the carrion fell like a rice field under a scythe, clearing a large area in an instant!

The stench of the electric current and the stench of the roasted carrion were so intense that many policemen vomited out at that time.In the glaring light, spherical lightning whizzed and collided, turning the rotting corpses into coke wherever it went, and even split several corpses that had just crawled out of the ground in two in the distance!

"I'll keep the empress!" Situ Yingzhi dragged Yu Jingzhong and shouted, "Take your people and run! Call a group of people to break the formation!"

Yu Jingzhong's ears were bleeding from the shock of the lightning, and before he could answer, he stretched out his finger to his side.

Situ Yingzhi turned his head to look, and saw that the spherical lightning finally exploded, smashing dozens of carrion corpses into pieces, and a big hole was blown out in the cement floor among the broken limbs, which led directly to the ground in black.

——This should have been dug before, and the surface was blocked with cement. After being shocked by the electric shock, it collapsed and exposed the tunnel inside.

"It's too late! I can't run away!" Yu Jingzhong wiped the blood gushing from his ears vigorously, and shouted, "All go down!"

Situ Yingzhi was afraid that he would encounter the main fighters in the tunnel, and it would be impossible to retreat with a group of mortals at that time.But the carrion corpses in the distance are still gathering continuously, just like the strings of radishes in the ground, they can't be killed. If they stay on it, none of these people will survive, so they can only turn their heads and shout at the others. : "I'll take the lead at the rear of the vice-principal! ——Follow me!"

The rotten corpses staggered and gathered again. Situ Yingzhi turned his wrist and grasped it from the void. Suddenly, two long knives appeared in his hands. The left one was thrown to Yu Jingzhong.

In the sky full of stumps, he passed through the rain of blood like lightning, rushed to the tunnel and jumped.The rest of the policemen ran after him desperately, couldn't stop at the critical moment, rolled and crawled in front of the tunnel and fell into it.

Yu Jingzhong, who was covering in the back of the palace, was almost surrounded by rotting corpses, and almost blocked a bloody path among the corpses, and chopped down the two rotting corpses that were screaming and wandering around in front of the tunnel, so that his head and face were covered with blood Fly and jump into the hole.

In an instant, his feet were empty, and the wind whistled in his ears. Half a second later, he fell to the ground with a plop, and was immediately helped up by all kinds of hands and feet.

"How is Deputy Yu?" "Are you all right, are you all right?"

Deputy Yu stood up and wiped his blood: "Comrades have worked hard. All the incidents today are classified as top secret. Please cooperate with the work of the Special Office of National Security. Always keep the secrecy regulations in mind... Situ? What are you doing?"

I saw a narrow stone room under the tunnel, which may only be the size of the basement of an apartment in the urban-rural fringe area, barely able to hold seven or eight people.The stone chamber shrinks to the east, forming another tunnel that winds deep. Situ Yingzhi is standing at the entrance, looking at the darkness in the depths, his body straight and motionless.

Yu Jingzhong walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you looking at?"

"..." Situ turned his head, his face was terribly pale: "Is there still time to go up now?"

Yu Jingzhong was taken aback for a moment, only to hear the sound of dripping water coming from the tunnel.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely domineering and gloomy aura snaked out from the other end of the tunnel like an invisible giant python, covering everyone.

Yu Jingzhong only felt that his chest was under heavy pressure, and it was difficult to breathe. When he turned around, he saw that everyone was leaning against the earthen wall, and some of the timid ones could no longer stand up.The sound of running water was getting closer, and a few seconds later a wisp of black water flowed out of the tunnel, meandering among the gravel and clods, and gurgling into the stone chamber.

Situ stared at the black water, and said word by word: "—the sea of ​​dead air..."

"Stand back!" He suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily: "Stay back! Don't get in this water, back away—!"

Everyone retreated in panic, but it was already too late.The little policeman he rescued just now stood closer, but before he could react, the black water had already flowed down the cracks of the ground to the soles of his shoes.

Half a second later, the little policeman let out a horrifying scream, and saw that he melted rapidly from his feet up, his bones melted like snow meeting boiling water, and the exposed flesh turned a terrifying black color!

Situ Yingzhi rushed over to cut off his leg, but it was too late.The little policeman fell to the ground and twitched, his whole body decayed into bones at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he completely melted into the bloody water in just a few seconds!

Everyone panicked, screaming and backing away again and again, for fear that the spreading black water would get on the soles of their shoes.Situ Yingzhi flew back to the entrance of the tunnel where he jumped down just now, probably he would rather go out and take a group of mortals to kill rotting corpses than stay here to face the sea of ​​dead air, but the next second, a thick and gloomy voice came from the tunnel Voice: "Since you're here, don't even think about leaving."

Situ Yingzhi was shocked all over, and turned his head to look in disbelief.

I saw a fiery red man appeared in the tunnel, with three faces and eight arms, holding a halberd in his hand, stepping barefoot on the soil, with a hot and domineering aura rushing toward his face like a raging fire.

"Surrender, surrender the third King Ming..."

Yu Jingzhong wondered, "What did you say?"

The fiery red man walked out of the tunnel and stood in the stone room.The terrifying seawater of dead air poured from behind him to the ground, and its momentum was getting bigger and bigger, almost converging into a stream.

He looks so deformed, just like the golden statue in the temple jumped off alive - but this kind of appearance is solemn and majestic in the temple, and it is a horror movie if it appears alive in front of you. I couldn't even cry out, and kept shaking while holding on to the stone wall.

"One of the five authentic Ming Kings of Tantric Buddhism, Ah Yu Tathagata teaches the wheel body, and his status is higher than that of Phoenix Ming King..." Situ Yingzhi gritted his teeth and asked in a trembling voice: "How can a powerful man like you come to the human world?" Killing innocent people indiscriminately and accumulating dead energy, what exactly do you want to do?!"

Jiang III King Ming had three eyes on each face, and the vertical pupil of the middle face stood up, looking down at them from a height.

In his eyes, these mortals in the lower world are as negligible as air, only Situ Yingzhi, the zombie repairer, can be regarded as a lowly creature on par with pigs and dogs.

"What a coincidence, the sea of ​​dead air was originally used to deal with another, more powerful monster..."

King Ming Jiang III paused, and said calmly: "However, since you are all low-level races of the four evil realms, I will surrender you first."

Situ Yingzhi's pupils constricted—the next second, a heavy halberd pierced through the air, piercing his eyes in an instant!

--boom!

The ground of Liao's villa shook violently, and the furnishings were smashed to pieces. Chu He suddenly held onto the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror at his hand.

"It wasn't like this last time I came to his house." Zhou Hui rubbed his chin and looked around the hall: "Does Shakti have such a passion for mirrors?"

Chu He said expressionlessly: "I don't know, it was you and not me who dated her."

I saw that the hall covering an area of ​​[-] square meters and a height of more than six meters was covered with black curtains, and countless huge mirrors were hung on the curtains.These mirrors occupy all the ceilings and walls within the field of vision without leaving any gaps. No matter from which angle you look up, you can see thousands of yourself, with exactly the same expression, which is simply chilling.

Zhou Hui raised his head silently for a moment, and countless Zhou Hui around him also turned their gazes at the same time: "But, you are the one who has a marriage contract with her."

"I'm just taking over Pan Xia." Chu He said coldly.

Zhou Hui: "..."

Zhou Hui scratched his hair and walked a few steps around, as if trying to find the secret door hidden in the mirror.But this is in vain, because the light is bent and twisted repeatedly under the reflection of hundreds of large mirrors, and it is extremely distorted. Many things are difficult to find a few steps away, and there is no one in sight except thousands of identical figures. something else.

This kind of environment can easily make people collapse, and those with weak psychological quality must have been frightened at this time.Chuhe closed his eyes forcefully, and when he opened them again, he lowered his gaze not to look in the mirror, and asked, "Do you want to get out first?"

"No, if Shakti is not dealt with, the Quartet Walking Corpse Formation can't be broken. Although I don't know what she is doing with these moths, but if there is too much dead energy, it will be very troublesome."

Zhou Hui walked around the hall, shuttled through the overlapping mirrors to search for passages, and said, "And she has collected so many corpses, and she has a trace of your soul, I'm worried..."

Before the words were finished, a cold female voice suddenly sounded from all the mirrors at the same time: "It's so unfair, Zhou Hui. Why didn't I see you so caring when I was dating?"

Chu He and Zhou Hui looked up at the same time, and saw Shaqti, the Goddess of the Snow Mountain, wearing a black robe and rich long silver hair in countless huge mirrors, looking down at them with a smile on her lips.

·

Zhou Hui's first reaction was to look at Chu He's face, but he turned his head and stopped.

"Shakti..." He laughed slowly, and said, "You still remember what happened so many years ago, if it delays your finding a new boyfriend, how can I bear it?"

A woman's ruthlessness always stems from feelings, but once a man becomes ruthless, he will be extraordinarily ruthless to people's surprise.

Shakti did not show a hurt expression, on the contrary she still smiled, seeming to be very happy: "You are still the same, even the tone of your speech has not changed... However, you actually admitted you and me in front of His Highness Phoenix Ming. It seems that I have confidence in my new relationship with my ex, it’s really not easy.”

She smiled and looked at Chuhe, whose side face was as white and cold as an ice sculpture, without even a trace of superfluous expression: "The predecessor must have the consciousness of the predecessor."

"Oh - you mean that I shouldn't come back? It's a pity that there will be a day when I will be relieved from the pain of reincarnation for thousands of years. Compared with you who have completely destroyed the phoenix, I will be stronger if I regain my godhead. .”

Shakti bent down, countless images were condescending at the same time, and thousands of eyes met Chuhe's gaze at close range. The scene was really creepy.

"Last time when I killed you, your six senses were all closed, and you were in a daze, like a walking corpse that tempted you to commit crimes but had no power to resist. I asked you to stab yourself with a knife, and you just did it in a daze. ——Thinking about it now, you were much sexier at that time than you are now."

Chuhe said indifferently: "I have so much black history, which one do you talk about?"

He didn't return to his human body, he was still in the true state of his true self. The indescribable and terrifying appearance of King Fenghuang Ming faced the Snow Mountain Goddess directly at close range.The two faces, famous for their beauty for nine days and ten places, are almost facing each other, and they give off a strange and seductive beauty in the tension.

"Is it just 'so much'? Your whole person is made up of black history." However, Shakti immediately straightened up and resumed his condescending posture, with a little gloating in his eyes.

"No matter how much one hides one's background, one's filthy secrets, one's inner secrets have been repeatedly tortured for thousands of years... I heard that King Peacock Ming once killed 33 heavens to swallow Buddha, so that he was condemned by heaven? In the final analysis, it is actually you who created the irreversible cause and effect at the very beginning of everything."

At the end, although she faced Chuhe, she looked at Zhou Hui with a pointed gaze: "——No wonder you are willing to accept the punishment of God for King Peacock Ming, because you know in your heart that the one who deserves the punishment of God is yourself."

Zhou Hui frowned slightly, feeling the obvious hint in her words, and looked suspiciously at Chuhe after a while.

Chuhe stood there motionless.

His face was slightly sideways, his hair blocked his eyes, and he couldn't tell what his expression was at the moment; but his teeth were clenched so tightly that even the mandible showed a kind of bloodless ice-whiteness and stiffness.

"Do you still want to kill me again, Shakti?" He finally opened his mouth after a long time, mockingly said: "If you are really so strong, why do you ask the Demon Lord to borrow this thousand-degree mirror world? It’s still the same as before.”

Unexpectedly, Shakti didn't take it seriously—or in other words, when Chuhe lost control of himself and said this sentence, he had actually fallen into a disadvantaged position virtually.

She even shook her head jokingly, and said: "Unexpectedly, you can recognize even the thousand-degree mirror world. It's so rare. This is one of the most secret treasures of the Asura Dao... How many treasures did the Demon Lord show you?" Ah, I can't even imagine how strong his desire to conquer you is, haha—"

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou Hui with great interest.

Chuhe looked around, and countless identical faces looked back at him.

He finally knew why the Demon Lord was so strong when he met last time, and even recovered faster than when he sacrificed with his own heart and blood—it had nothing to do with Maha, but because he had made a deal with the Snow Mountain Goddess .

He lent the Asura Dao secret treasure Qiandu Realm, and the Snow Mountain Goddess must have exchanged something important, driven by a strong desire for revenge.

"Then does the Demon Lord know that you are going to use it to kill me?" Chu He said coldly, "——if the Qiandu Realm is broken, what will you pay for it?"

The Snow Mountain Goddess's eyes froze, and then Chuhe stepped forward, a hurricane blew up, the white robes swished and spread out in the wind, and the phoenix spear smashed towards countless mirrors wrapped in lightning!

The Snow Mountain Goddess let out a long and sharp howl in an instant!

——During the earthquake, hundreds of heavy mirrors moved and flipped, and more mirrors fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, dividing the entire space into several pieces.

After thousands of reflections, the lightning from the phoenix spear interweaves into a network of snow-bright light that can burn the retina; then, in the overlapping layers of space, it is instantly thrown into the alien void, turning into a dazzling light arc.

Zhou Hui's complexion changed drastically, but it was too late to catch up with the interlacing and overlapping of space. Several giant mirrors fell in the air and cut off the way ahead, trapping him in place.

"—Feng Si!"

"You should thank me," Shakti's voice sounded from behind: "As an ex, I am so kind to my old lover."

Zhou Hui turned to stare at her: "What on earth do you want to do?!"

Shakti took his time and sat down in the mirror.Her red lips were plump and her breasts stood out. Under the black robe, her snow-white legs were overlapping. She was extremely charming and attractive, but Zhou Hui's eyes remained as firm as ice.

"It's really hurtful. It's a waste of time. Phoenix Ming still cares so much about our relationship. Do you know that what he sees in the mirror is you and me together?"

Zhou Hui laughed incredulously: "Stop joking, what is his most secret fear?"

His attitude displeased Shakti slightly: "Why not?"

"The majestic phoenix king, the immemorial divine bird, almost became a Buddha. He stayed in the 33rd heaven for tens of thousands of years. He once crossed the sea of ​​blood until he became empty. Tell me how many years ago he is still holding on to that little thing?" Zhou Hui As if listening to a joke, he leaned on the mirror and stared at the goddess condescendingly: "It's more like saying that he has a grudge in his heart, or fear... You underestimate him."

Shakti stared at Zhou Hui without moving.

In front of Zhou Hui, she seemed to have lost the momentum and reason to press Chuhe every step of the way.

"...I should have known earlier that in your heart Phoenix Mingwang is a flawless phantom on the altar, and you can pretend not to see his real dark side no matter what... Anyway, don't you believe it?"

Shakti stretched out her hand in the mirror, and her image in the opposite giant mirror suddenly disappeared.The darkness quickly vortexed, opening an invisible giant mouth from the projection of light, devouring every mirror in this small space.

Zhou Hui turned around abruptly, and everything seemed to have disappeared in the dark and empty alien space.

Immediately afterwards, a soft white light suddenly appeared not far away, enlarging and fading like layers of blooming lotus flowers, and 33 towering and magnificent Buddhist halls in the sky emerged in the light.

Zhou Hui's pupils dilated slightly.

——In the empty hall, a young figure in a snow-white cassock, with an immature and quiet face, was kneeling and sitting under the resplendent lotus seat of the Buddha.

That was the young King Phoenix Ming.

"—Even in the 33rd Heaven, not many people know about it."

Shakti leaned out from the darkness, and leaned into Zhou Hui's ear, her charming voice could almost drip: "Take a good look, the darkest secret of King Phoenix Ming... After reading it, you will know why he is afraid of you left."
