Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

According to the etiquette of warlocks, Chuhe should return the salute in the same way at this time - if his seniority is lower than this young onmyoji, he should bow with the same gesture; if his seniority is higher, he should at least nod his head Appreciation.

But Chuhe stared at him innocently and confusedly, and stretched out his hand tentatively for a while: "Miangui's surname is Chu, you...how are you?"

Aida suddenly laughed: "Lan Yu, Mr. Chu is just an ordinary person, don't scare him!"

Chuhe laughed cooperatively, causing the young man to look at him several times, and then backed away suspiciously.

An accident happened on the construction site where the mayor brought foreign businessmen to inspect, and the entire city police station was shocked.After a while, seven or eight police cars roared from far to near. Before the first car stopped, the detachment leader led his men to get out of the car, and almost couldn't even utter a word when they saw Mayor Huang. : "Mayor Huang Huang Huang Huang Huang! I'm sorry we are late, what happened?!"

The person in charge of the construction site on the other side also came in a hurry, and his legs softened immediately when he saw the situation: "This is really none of our business, we abide by the safety and civilized construction regulations! We don't know anything! I, I, I, we We must cooperate with the investigation!..."

Mayor Huang got a headache from the commotion, and the director of the exhibition center immediately scolded the person in charge of the construction site winkingly, and hurriedly dragged the team leader to the scene to see the huge splash of human body fragments.Several policemen quickly put up a yellow cordon around them, and everyone backed away for a while, and those who witnessed the jumping incident were reprimanded by the police again, and they were taken aside for questioning.

Taking advantage of this moment when no one was paying attention, Mayor Huang secretly grabbed Chuhe: "What to do, that little Japanese found me! What can I do now, will they catch me and eat me?!"

Chu Heqi asked: "Is the weasel meat delicious?"

"I don't know if it's good or not, but it's definitely edible!" Mayor Huang cried with a sad face: "It's a pity that I have more than 300 catties of fat, what will I do if I go to the table of Little Japan?! And I sacrificed the capital of my motherland. You won’t ratify my martyr, okay! Mr. Chu! Mr. Chu, you must stand up this time! In case something happens, you must stop and cover me and run first!”

"..." Chu He walked away in a huff: "Don't be ashamed!"

The weasel's huge body trembled like a delicate flower, and it was about to chase after it with tears streaming down its face, when suddenly someone patted its shoulder: "—Mayor Huang."

The weasel turned around like an electric shock, and saw Yoshida Aida standing behind him at some point, and asked politely, "Can I excuse you?"

For a moment, the lightning flashed wildly and the warning rang loudly, Mayor Huang's fat all over his body tensed up: "Wh-what's the matter?"

However, Yoshida Aida didn't suddenly get up and take a demon mirror to look at him, nor did he take out a golden cudgel to beat him back to his original shape with a strange smile; none of the thousand and one dramatic scenes that Mayor Huang imagined happened , Yoshida Aida even smiled politely: "The translator who died is us Japanese. According to our tradition, Lan Yu wants to pray for him at the place where the accident happened. Do you think it is okay?"

The place where the translator jumped was a half-finished floor on the construction site. Half of it was poured with cement concrete, and the other half of the iron bars were still exposed. It was about ten meters above the ground.

This should be a fire insulation layer in the middle of the building, very narrow and low.After Chu He bent down and came in, he looked around and felt embarrassed how the translator stepped on the iron, climbed in through the scaffolding and jumped off the building. down.

Panting, Mayor Huang stuck to the corner of the wall and asked, "Have you found anything?"

The detachment leader was carrying several evidence bags, shaking his head while wiping his sweat: "The ground is covered with dust, and there is only one person's footprint, which can also rule out the possibility of climbing and pulling. With the testimony of seven or eight witnesses, It can basically be preliminarily concluded that it was suicide."

Mayor Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine to commit suicide, it's fine to commit suicide."

These words are really too careless. Normally, the detachment leader would have to laugh, but at this moment in this place, the thoughts in everyone's minds are: Suicide is good, suicide is good!

Lan Yu, who had been silent since she came in, drew a five-element yin-yang talisman on the ground in a circular and divergent shape, and then asked the strangers, including all the police, to retreat, and sat in the middle of the formation.At this time, only four people including Mayor Huang, Chu He, Aida Yoshihiro and himself were left in the fire-separated layer. Lan Yu murmured something, and suddenly a circle rose from the dust, There was a multicolored shimmer.

The rays of light flow like a sun ring, which is very magnificent at first glance, but after a long time, it makes people feel intimidated.Mayor Huang rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, and asked Chuhe in a low voice, "Can you see what's behind it?"

Chu He didn't answer, and only saw ghost cries faintly coming from the circle, and after a while, a male ghost with a bloody head struggled to emerge, grabbing Aida with his bloody hands!

Lan Yu didn't move her eyebrows, she raised her hand and slapped the magic talisman on Li Gui's forehead.The ghost's crying stopped instantly, and the magic talisman emitted an invisible flame, which burned the ghost's soul into fly ash in a few seconds!

"Ahhhh-"

The last scream disappeared into the air as the fly ash dissipated, and the multicolored light exploded in an instant, almost completely swallowing the Onmyoji in the formation!

"Isn't this praying for blessings?" Mayor Huang said in astonishment: "Scattering the soul and nourishing the courage, isn't this the fucking demon formation?!"

Just as he was speaking, the circle suddenly deformed and turned into a giant hand glowing with white light!I saw that thin hand with long and curly nails, as if he could see it, wandered around in this small space, and then, like a poisonous snake locked on its target, it suddenly settled in front of Mayor Huang!

It was too late and then quickly, Chuhe pulled the weasel past him, and pulled him behind him like lightning——

At that moment, he was so fast that it didn't seem like he was dragging a fat man weighing more than 300 kilograms. At the same moment, the giant hand came down from the sky and landed firmly in front of Chuhe!

The sharp nails formed by the light are less than five centimeters away from Chuhe's eyebrows, and if they go any further, they can pierce straight into his eye sockets.

However, Chuhe didn't even move his eyelashes.

After a few seconds, the giant hand slowly withdrew back bit by bit.The light faded and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it took about ten seconds before it gradually disappeared into the dusty air.

"I'm very sorry!" Aida Yoshihiro got up, looking very regretful: "I forgot that this formation is only harmless to warlocks and ordinary people, and it may damage the demon's inner alchemy—Mayor Huang, is it okay? Are you scared? Lan Yu, go show Mayor Huang!"

Chuhe raised his hand to block him.

I saw that Mayor Huang had disappeared, replaced by a round, fat weasel lying on the ground, trembling with extreme fear.This posture looked like it was kneeling down to the Japanese, but because of the weakness of its four legs, it took a long time to stand up tremblingly, trembling and turning back into a human form.

Fatty Huang's face was flushed, and even though he kept shrinking back, the faint smell of urine could still be heard clearly - he peed his pants.

"I, I'm fine," Weasel backed away shamelessly, "I'm going to change—change my pants, you—you talk first..."

He staggered and walked out. Because he was in a trance, his left foot almost tripped over his right foot at the elevator door, and he hurriedly supported the wall to stabilize his body.

That look was actually a bit ridiculous, so Aida let out a distinct snort—Mayor Huang didn't know whether he heard it or not, and hurried away with his head bowed and shoulders bowed in three steps at a time.

Lan Yu panted slightly, and suddenly bowed deeply to Chuhe: "I'm sorry, it was my negligence..."

"Because it looks too human-like," Aida said with a smile, "I forgot right away, but in fact, this formation sometimes completely destroys the monster's inner alchemy—in this way, Mr. Huang's luck actually It's also very good! Hahahaha!"

Chuhe turned his head and looked at Aida peacefully.

"Well, Mr. Chu, don't be offended. Sometimes we will make a little joke with the monster, but now that the times have changed, it will not easily hurt the monster's life..."

Before Aida Yoshitsune finished speaking, Chuhe had already turned and walked out.

Yoshida Aida's laughter stopped abruptly, and after a while he snorted softly: "This lowly monster is also blessed to guard this good place with excellent feng shui."

Lan Yu sighed, "Uncle Aida..."

"What?"

"The head ordered me to assist you," Lan Yu hesitated, and said slowly: "But it didn't say that you can order me to kill people at will, so you should try your best to do it yourself for the next week."

Aida strode forward and grabbed the young Onmyoji by the hair: "What do you mean?!"

The young man didn't flinch, Aida stared at him for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and let out a soft breath: "You know that seven souls will be sacrificed to give birth, and we all came, so how can we shrink back? Let alone the first one to die He is one of our own, and the person surnamed Huang has such a big handle in our hands, so he won't have the guts to defy us!"

"but……"

"Are you afraid of that guy surnamed Chu? He's just an ordinary person!"

"An ordinary person who is about to become a demon." Onmyoji shook his head heavily and said: "It is difficult for a monster to become a demon, let alone a living person becoming a demon? I am worried that he will have a powerful demon protection behind him, and it will be very troublesome then."

Aida didn't care, and asked back: "Even if it's troublesome, are you and I afraid that we won't be able to get away? The Yin and Yang Taoism in the Han and Tang Dynasties had already declined. In today's China, apart from Zhou Hui who can't easily leave Beijing, who else is our Tantric sect?" opponent?"

The young Onmyoji hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.

"You don't know," his voice was barely audible: "The whole world is so big, there are still many people that you and I can't afford to offend..."

When Chuhe walked out of the construction site, he saw that Mayor Huang had changed his pants and was sitting on the steps alone.

At this time, the sky was already late, the dusk was shining, and the twilight was in harmony. The flocks of birds that were hard to see in the city crossed the sky and flew away into the distance.The weasel rested its fat head on one hand, drooped its ears, and stared blankly at the flock of birds flying far away, not knowing what it was thinking.

Chuhe came to him and sat on the curb with him.

"Tell me," came the muffled voice of the weasel, "I'm a human being, isn't it good enough?"

Chuhe said: "It's already very good."

"Then why is no one treating me as a human being?"

Even Chuhe can hardly answer this question.He thought for a long time, so long that even Mayor Huang felt that he would not say anything more, and then he suddenly said: "Maybe you haven't done enough."

"what?"

"If you do more and do better, it should be almost the same."

Fatty Huang blinked his small eyes, and after thinking about it for a while, he still reluctantly accepted the explanation, so he let out a long "Oh—" and said, "Then, I can work harder..."

Chu He nodded approvingly, and was suddenly poked by Fatty Huang with a finger: "—Hey, Mr. Chu."

"Ok?"

"You said that we have known each other for so long, but I still don't know why you should become a devil instead of being a good person?"

Chuhe turned his head to stare at him, and the weasel tilted his head to look innocent.Although the fat man tried his best to conceal it, the envy and inferiority that could not be concealed could still be seen in his eyes.

"...I, this," Chuhe paused feeling complicated, and finally said reluctantly after several seconds: "Well, I once had two sons."

Fatty Huang was shocked instantly: "What, when did you marry a daughter-in-law who even gave birth to a son?!"

"However, the eldest son was killed by someone, and the second son was also taken away. I exhausted my primordial spirit and failed to save the eldest son. Since that day, I have been possessed by demons."

Mayor Huang was dumbfounded, and rolled up his sleeves for a long time: "Who, who harmed your whole family?! Tell my brother who it is, I can't kill him!"

"Can you save yourself, fat man?" Chu He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You lose weight first, and after practicing for 500 years, you can barely be cannon fodder in front of that person!"

"What the hell are you kidding! No one can do such a wicked thing and be condemned by God! Come and tell me your name, who did it, brother, I will set up this goal of struggle now!"

Fatty Huang jumped up from the ground, and was about to yell loudly, when a car approached from a distance, "Huh—" sounded.I saw a black car approaching from far to near under the setting sun. The body was shiny and shiny, and the iconic round lights and round grille on the front of the car reflected dazzling light.

Fatty Huang was immediately distracted: "I'll wipe it, can you find all of this?!"

Chuhe asked, "Who is it?"

At this time, in the construction site behind them, Yoshida Aida and the onmyoji named Lan Yu were also coming out, and they all took half a step back when they saw the car.Immediately afterwards, the awesome Bentley Mulsanne stopped in front of everyone, the door opened, and a few people came down.

The leader is a slender woman in her 30s, with big breasts, slender waist and high heels, and wavy curly hair, which is very charming. She must have turned all sentient beings upside down when she was young.

Behind him is a young handsome guy, about 1.8 meters tall, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. He has a deep and handsome face, wearing a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses and a motorcycle leather jacket. No matter where he stands, he looks like he is shooting Hollywood. Movie.

Fatty Huang: "..."

Compared with this group of people, Fatty Huang and Boss Chu instantly became rural peasant entrepreneurs.

"Hi everyone! Yo, Mayor Huang is here too!" The woman flung her curly hair coquettishly, and stretched out her hand to Yoshida Aida with a smile: "My surname is Li, and I'm the director of the foreign guest reception office from the province. If you call me Li Hu Alright——Mr. Aida, I’m really sorry that I didn’t meet you yesterday!”

Aida shook hands with her, but his eyes passed her uncontrollably, looking at the young man behind.

At that moment, Aida's face was very strange, as if he was hiding his extreme curiosity and astonishment, but he couldn't hide it, so his facial muscles were slightly stiff: "Excuse me, this is..."

The young man casually took off his sunglasses and stretched out his hand—but before Aida reached out to hold it, his hand turned in mid-air and reached out to the young Onmyoji: "Little beauty, what's your name?"

"..." Lan Yu said: "My surname is Yan and my name is Lan Yu. May I ask you—"

"My name is Zhou Yi, Zhou of King Wuling of Zhou." The young man had a foolish smile on his lips: "The number one in the world."
