After joining Hades

After Zhou Wei and Zhong Shining had left, Wen Bai got up and walked to the window.

The rain hadn't stopped outside, but it had already subsided a lot. The street lamps in the courtyard were dimly lit, illuminating the fallen leaves all over the ground.

When Zhou Wei was around, he took out his mobile phone and read some news to Wen Bai.

The sudden heavy rain in Nancheng made Nancheng wet, and it even became a trending search.

Especially the overwhelming black cloud captured in the video.

[The rain in Nancheng seems to be able to talk today, I heard it say in my ear, I will knock your head off. 】

[The most outrageous thing is that the weather forecast reminded me yesterday that the temperature has risen in the past two days, and it is sunny, and my quilt is almost exposed. Fortunately, my procrastination saved me. 】

【The second time, I remember that in June, there was also such a situation. It rained for half a month without warning. This time it was even more outrageous. Is it raining?This is basically a fellow daoist crossing the catastrophe. 】

Wen Bai originally thought that when he woke up on the other side of the river, the rain was already severe enough, but when Zhou Wei was in the car, he said to him: "Then you didn't see yesterday."

Wen Bai saw it now.

There were a lot of messages on the mobile phone, sent by all kinds of people, all of them were asking him if he was better, and if there was anything uncomfortable, Wen Bai replied one by one.

A few people who come and go a lot on weekdays finally spoke up.

During the two days when Wen Bai disappeared, they didn't dare to breathe, the entire underworld didn't have the breath of a "living person", and they didn't dare to say a word. They were worried about Wen Bai's safety, but they didn't dare to mention his name.

Wen Bai didn't know anything about it, and didn't notice anything.

Even when Lu Zheng asked him, he said that he had a good time.

Thinking about it now, although it wasn't his intention, he did cause a lot of trouble, especially... Lu Zheng.

After waking up, it seemed that he was only focused on talking and didn't care about anything else.

Wen Bai didn't know why, but suddenly wanted to talk to Lu Zheng, and when he realized it, he had already gone downstairs.

But Lu Zheng wasn't there, and there was only Di Ting in the office.

"I'm 10 minutes late," Di Ting glanced at Wen Bai, raised his lips, lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the things in his hands, and said, "He just left."

Listening to that glance, Wen Bai felt guilty for no reason: "I didn't look for him."

"I'll take a look at Yuanyuan."

After Wen Bai finished speaking, he realized that the person in front of him was really listening.

Listen to people's hearts and discern the truth of all things.

Di Ting didn't lift his head: "Don't worry, I didn't hear it."

Wen Bai: "..."

"I really didn't listen," Di Ting signaled Wen Bai not to stand at the door, but to come in and sit. "After all, Lu Zheng has explicitly prohibited it. As a subordinate on the surface, I have to listen occasionally."

"It was when you just entered the door that you saw me, and your disappointed expression was too obvious."

Wen Bai: "..."

He doesn't think so.

Truth must have read it wrong.

"Is Yuan Yuan still sleeping?" Wen Bai said looking at the picture of the morning glory on the wall.

"It's time to wake up," Di Ting turned his eyes and glanced at the wall, "Lu Zheng gave him another mouthful of spiritual power, and he slept soundly."

If the spiritual power is full, it's like eating too much and making you sleepy. Lu Zheng doesn't let him eat too much on weekdays. Wen Bai walked to the painting, a little confused.

Di Ting could see what he was thinking: "There is nothing wrong, it's just that I can't sleep well."

Wen Bai turned his head to look at him.

"After all, there was your blood on the bamboo branch. During the two days you disappeared, you might have sensed something. You woke up, but Lu Zheng was afraid that it would wake up and make trouble, so he fed his spiritual power and temporarily sealed the painting."

Speaking of bamboo branches, Wen Bai paused: "Yuan Yuan can eat my blood because of that bamboo branch."

"Well," Di Ting came over, "maybe it's more suitable than Lu Zheng's."

Wen Bai didn't speak.

"Why," Di Ting smiled, "it's still a little cloudy."

Wen Bai didn't deny it: "Yes."

"Actually, I also think it's quite strange, but this is the fate between you and Lu Zheng."

Di Ting made Wen Bai a cup of tea: "I heard from Lu Zheng that when you went there, it was raining and there was thunder?"

The "over there" that Truth heard about was naturally the human world thousands of years ago.

"Well," Wen Bai took a sip of hot tea, "I always thought I was in the Night Sacrifice Picture."

"But there is no thunder or rain in the picture of offering sacrifices to the night." Di Ting said.

Wen Bai: "Yes."

There was a little deviation, and he thought it was because he had made a mistake in his memory, or there was a problem with the drawing.

But there is still one thing Wen Bai can't figure out.

"When I went there, I actually found the local city god."

Di Ting roughly heard Lu Zheng mention it.

"He said that he had calculated that there should be no rain in the world in those few days." When he heard the thunder, Chenghuang's reaction was a little bigger than him.

"It really shouldn't have rained in the world in those few days." Di Ting Youyou said.

Wen Bai noticed that he said "should not", not "won't".

"Zhou Wei and Zhong Shining should have told you. At that time, the sky was a bit chaotic." Di Ting turned to look at Wen Bai.

Wen Bai's heart skipped a beat: "Yes."

He was silent for a while: "You are telling me that the celestial phenomena thousands of years ago have also been affected."

It’s not good to listen to it, but it gave the most likely result: “The Chensha River is a big river that can lead to darkness. of this kind of result."

As he said that, Di Ting asked again: "Is it raining heavily there?"

"It's okay." Wen Bai said lightly.

The rain did not fall heavily, but it was quite dense.

Di Ting nodded.

Although the sky is in chaos, after all, after thousands of years, even Lu Zheng has to be suppressed.

"It's okay," Di Ting tapped on the picture of the morning glory, "If it falls as fiercely as this one, I'm afraid this lantern won't have a chance to float to the underworld."

It will be sunk by the rain in two or three strokes.

Wen Bai smiled: "If I had known this, I should have put two more bamboo branches in."

Give it a high base.

Make sure that it can float steadily all the way to Huangquan, so that it will not be squeezed to the shore.

"If you put two more bamboo branches in, it probably won't be Yuan Yuan anymore." Di Ting teased.

Wen Bai paused, then smiled: "That's true."

After a long time, Wen Bai leaned back on the sofa and exhaled lightly: "Actually, I saw Lu Zheng."

Di Ting didn't pay much attention: "He just left about ten minutes ago, did you meet?"

Wen Bai: "No."

"I mean, over there."

Di Ting's hand holding the teacup paused, the teacup shook, and a small piece of tea came out.

It is rare for Di Ting to lose his composure: "You mean a thousand years ago?"

Wen Bai pursed his lips: "Yes."

"When? Where?" Di Ting put down the teacup and turned around.

"Before dawn, I was on the stone bridge above the Liuguang River, and he was standing under the eaves not far away."

Ting Di: "Have you met?"

"No," Wen Bai shook his head, "I saw him, but he didn't see me."

Wen Bai's voice was very soft, he didn't know whether to tell Di Ting, or to himself: "He holds a lotus lantern in his hand."

At that time, he couldn't see clearly through the rain curtain, but he thought it was Lu Zheng.

"Lu Zheng has indeed been to the world once." Di Ting said.

Wen Bai's voice seemed to be filled with the water vapor at that time: "Then the lamp in his hand should be Yuan Yuan."

Di Ting didn't expect that there was such a thing: "Yes."

"I almost called him." Wen Bai laughed.

Listen to it.

Wen Bai sat up: "It's dawn before you shout out."

"What did he go to the Yin Division for?" Wen Bai asked again.

Ting Di: "I just remembered to ask now?"

Wen Bai drooped his eyes. Didn't he say that he didn't look for him at the time? He said so, so he couldn't ask.

Di Ting didn't expose Wen Bai: "I went to clean up the stall."

"?"

"Under the ancient street and the Shensha River, as soon as I found Su Lin's aura, I went straight to the people above to ask for an explanation." As he said, he couldn't hear the trace and glanced at the person beside him, otherwise, Jiu Zhang would not have gone. Bring people back.

"Want to speak?"

Di Ting said succinctly: "It means fighting."

"When the fire gets bigger, the sky is in chaos, and the underworld is prone to problems, so let's go down and clean it up."

Wen Bai once again realized how much trouble he had caused.

Wen Bai frowned: "Sorry."

"What are you apologizing for?" Di Ting laughed.

After a while, Di Ting got up and opened the window.

He leaned against the window, watching the rain that had been falling sparsely.

"Wen Bai, it's God's will that you can come back safe and sound."

"But it's not just God's will."

Wen Bai was startled.

"As I said, Lu Zheng asked someone above to explain. This 'superior' is not our superior, but the heavenly official corresponding to the local official."

"Shangtou in our mouth refers to the 'shangtou' of the top." Di Ting's tone became more serious, "It's called the way of heaven, which is the will of heaven."

"Invisible and invisible, but it is real."

"You joined the Nether Division, that's the one chosen by the superior."

"It gave you and Lu Zheng this fate," said Di Ting paused, and when he spoke again, his tone had changed, "But how to give it is what it means."

"That is to say, if you go back thousands of years, you can come back with a whole body, or you can come back with a bit of pain. It could have chosen the latter, but it chose the former."

Di Ting looked at him: "What do you think is the reason?"

Wen Bai was very clear in his heart, and the answer was obvious, no one else, because of Lu Zheng.

That's all I can say about Di Ting's words.

After a long silence, Di Ting came over from the other side: "I will open the window to let in the wind for a while."

"Are you sleepy?"

Wen Bai replied subconsciously: "No."

Feeling that he answered too quickly, Wen Bai said again: "I woke up from sleep."

Already awake, and listening to these words, Wen Bai felt that he might not even need to sleep this night.

Di Ting yawned: "Then you wait for him here, he should be back soon."

Wen Bai: "Huh?"

What do you mean...let him wait here?

Wen Bai stood up slowly: "Didn't he just go to Yin Division not long ago?"

Listening Truth: "There are people waiting, so naturally you have to come back early."

Wen Bai: "..."

Wen Bai felt that he was a bit confused now: "I still won't disturb his work, tomorrow..."

Di Ting interrupted him: "He can't stay here, he will be back soon."

Saying that, regardless of Wen Bai, he walked directly outside: "I just bought a few paintings, and I put them on the table over there, and there are some pens and papers. If you have nothing to do, just take a look and send them away." Take a moment."

The door closed, and the sound of Di Ting's footsteps became farther and farther away.

Wen Bai sighed and walked towards the desk.

After seeing clearly the pen, ink, paper, inkstone on the table, and the half-painted scroll, I realized what Di Ting was doing when he came in.

That's okay, he's a little confused right now, so he needs to find something to do to calm himself down.

Thinking of this, he pushed aside the paperweight and picked out a blank piece of paper from underneath.

Lay out and get inked.

When the first one is finished, the tip of the pen will stop.

A "Lu" character was blurred into a round spot by the brush and ink that moved slightly for a long time.

Wen Bai: "..."

Being read by Yuan Yuan a lot, the name "Lu Zheng" was picked up.

Wen Bai originally wanted to write to calm himself down, but it turned out to be even more chaotic.

The current mood is similar to the word "Lu" that has been muddied in ink.

Wen Bai put down his pen, closed his eyes and let himself go.

When he couldn't get into calligraphy practice before, Wen Bai was like this, closing Fang Jing to let himself go, and when he picked up the pen again, he would write whatever word came to his mind.

It is also common for the paper to be full of "parents' short stories".

Half an hour later, Wen Bai looked at the paper full of "Lu Zheng" and resigned himself to his fate.

This time, it's not that I thought of anything else, but as I write and write, I can always find these two words, and it seems that there is still room for improvement.

When I am satisfied with writing a font, I change another font, just like competing with myself.

My heart strangely calmed down—until the sound of footsteps came to my ears.

Even if it is Di Ting, when entering Lu Zheng's office, he will knock on the door, let alone others.

But Wen Bai didn't hear the knock on the door.

Who is that—

The pen hit the table heavily, Wen Bai grabbed the paper with the words "Lu Zheng" written all over it, and hid it behind him.

When he raised his head, he met Lu Zheng's eyes.

Wen Bai panicked.

Even he himself didn't know what he was panicking about, especially when he was looking at Lu Zheng, the panic seemed to have condensed some substance and stuck in his throat.

Just write a few names.

Before, in front of Lu Zheng, he wrote his name on the lotus lantern and let it out with his own hands.

Not to mention Yuan Yuan.

He obviously had dozens of reasons to prevaricate, but this time, he couldn't say a word.

"Why are you here?" Lu Zheng didn't seem to know that Wen Bai was waiting for him.

Wen Bai looked at Lu Zheng and smiled, and walked towards him.

The panic became more apparent.

"Lu Zheng!" After shouting Lu Zheng, Wen Bai realized later that he seemed to be shouting a little louder.

Lu Zheng stopped.

In the silence of the room, the creaking and rustling of the paper was very obvious, and Wen Bai didn't dare to move at all.

But he clearly knew that the paper was only half crumpled.

Lu Zheng followed the voice and looked over.

Wen Bai smashed the jar, crumpled the paper, said "Go to bed early", bowed his head and walked out.

No sleep for one night.

Wen Bai was even thinking about it when he watched the sky brighten outside.

I don't know if spiritual power is useful to people.

Can you sleep for three days like Yuan Yuan after a bite?

Wen Bai woke up early and ran away.

After running out of Dongtai, he turned back.

Take away the piece of paper with the words "Lu Zheng" written on it that was forgotten on the bedside.

After not seeing Wen Bai for two days and only contacting through messages and phone calls, Lu Zheng came to a conclusion.

Wen Bai is avoiding him.

Before he had this cognition, he could bear it.

But now...

Lu Zheng entered the picture of the morning glory and carried Xiaoliandeng out.

It's been two days.

It's fine if you don't come to him for two days, but now you don't even want your son?

Lu Zheng bent his fingers and flicked on the petals of the little lotus lantern.

Xiao Lian Deng, who was humming to wake up, woke up in a daze.

"Lu Zheng!" Little Lotus Lantern held a scroll, "Hug."

Lu Zheng hugged it: "Where's Wen Bai?"

Xiao Lian Deng was dumbfounded by the question, subconsciously turned her head, and looked around: "Where is it in vain?"

Lu Zheng: "At home."

Xiaoliandeng's fat petal swooped, and then repeated: "At home."

Lu Zheng's voice was very light: "Miss him?"

Xiao Lian Deng: "I miss him."

Lu Zheng hugged it and walked out: "Okay, I'll take you to find him."

The author has something to say: Lu Zheng: "Miss him?"

Yuan Yuan:"?"

Lu Zheng: "You (I) want to go find him."
