After joining Hades

After the gathering in the Town God's Temple, everyone in the class knew about Lu Zheng's existence and gradually became acquainted with each other.

From time to time in the group, Lu Zheng's name would be mentioned. Occasionally, Wen Bai would bring Lu Zheng with him at gatherings.

Especially Fang Leming and the others, who got together with Wen Bai a lot, were embarrassed to call "Boss Lu" from the beginning, and slowly they started calling "Brother Lu".

Only Zhou Wei, Xiaobai's roommate and Lu Zheng's subordinate who knew Lu Zheng's identity, dared not call "Brother Lu" to death.

For this reason, Fang Leming and the others laughed at him for a long time.

After the Spring Festival, the weather is getting warmer day by day.

Suzaku's bird feathers are no longer needed, Wen Bai wanted to stuff them into the jade gourd, but was afraid that they would be buried in the small lamp treasure house next year and could not be found, so he put them in the glove box in the room and told the Zhong family The emerald small lotus lanterns that I gave were put together.

Afraid of falling dust, I wrapped the bag with the leftover fabric from the Chinese New Year.

The habit that Wen Bai has developed since he was a child, but in Lu Zheng's eyes, it is his boyfriend who saves Suzaku's bird feathers very carefully.

For this reason, Suzaku had another fight for no reason.

On the day of Qingming, according to the customs of the world, Wen Bai took the little lamp and they went to find Xiao Taisui, and they went for a walk.

Di Ting didn't know what method he used to release the old ox and the shepherd boy in the painting of the cow.

The old scalper wagged its tail in excitement, and the shepherd boy took off his coir raincoat and ran all over the mountain.

Wen Bai thanked Di Ting for them, but Di Ting said it was what Lu Zheng meant.

"The old scalper and the shepherd boy have brought a few young ones for such a long time, and it's hard to come to this kind of place, so Lu Zheng said to let them out to get some air." Di Ting said.

Wen Bai was silent for a moment: "No wonder when I left in the morning, I brought a picture of the morning glory with me."

As soon as the old ox and the shepherd boy came out of the painting, the painting of the cows turned into an empty scroll, and the paper surface was covered with a layer of dull yellow that was not very lively.

While closing the scroll, Di Ting spoke naturally: "It took a little effort for Lu Zheng to let the things in the painting come out."

Wen Bai naturally knew.

It was precisely because of knowing that when he heard that it was Lu Zheng's meaning, he fell silent for a while.

He turned his head and glanced at Lu Zheng not far away.

"He's thoughtful." Wen Bai smiled.

He forgot all of this, but Lu Zheng still remembered.

"It's just now, how could I have thought of this before." Di Ting Youyou said.

When Lu Zheng said that he would bring out the picture of the cow, Di Ting was stunned for a moment.

He has been with Lu Zheng for thousands of years, and he knows exactly what Lu Zheng was like before.

A guy who doesn't even want to take care of himself can still think of putting a painting out to breathe.

Thousands of years ago, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he would not believe it.

Di Ting looked at Wen Bai: "If he used to be half as patient as he is now, I wouldn't say he's boring."

Tingting paused for a moment, then added casually: "What do you think?"

Wen Bai chuckled: "There are him on the left and right, and they are all good."

It's just that he also has selfish intentions, and he prefers Lu Zheng who has met him now.

After finishing speaking, Wen Bai walked towards Lu Zheng.

When they reached the crypt, little Tai Sui was asleep.

It was buried a little deep in the soil, if it wasn't for the small raised mound, Wen Bai wouldn't have been able to find its place.

As soon as Xiaodeng smelled Tai Sui's breath, she was about to rush over, but was stopped by Wen Bai just in time.

"Little Tai Sui is still sleeping, we won't disturb it." Wen Bai whispered.

The petals of the little lotus lantern withered, and when it was about to be buried in Wen Bai's arms, it suddenly stretched out the leaf support, pointed forward, and said: "It's moving!"

Wen Bai looked in the direction pointed by the little lamp, and the small mound of soil really loosened up.

Although the movement is very small.

Wen Bai couldn't bear to look at Lu Zheng, leaned into his ear and said, "Little Tai Sui woke up?"

Lu Zheng nodded: "Yes."

"Woke up by us?" Wen Bai asked.

He remembered that Lu Zheng said before that the little Tai Sui would sleep for a long time, ranging from a few years to decades or hundreds of years.

Lu Zheng led Wen Bai and walked over: "Maybe I felt your breath and woke up by myself."

Wen Bai thought about this, and said, "Then we'll wake you up."

Lu Zheng smiled: "I'm already awake, go and have a look."

Wen Bai bent down and squatted down, the small mound of dirt that had been moving before suddenly became silent.

Wen Bai began to wonder if Little Tai Sui hadn't woken up yet, the movement just now was just because it turned over inside.

As he was thinking, the small mound suddenly opened a hole.

With a bang, a small white head popped out of it.

Little Tai Sui's limbs were still buried in the soil, the moment he saw Wen Bai, he immediately shook his head, groaned desperately and stretched his body, after squeezing out two paws, without waiting for the two hind paws, he stretched out his hand to Wen Bai past.

Seeing that it was struggling to crawl, Wen Bai quickly and carefully swept away the dirt piled beside it, and hugged it in his palm.

"It seems that the imprints on his body have been cleaned up." Wen Bai looked at Xiao Taisui from top to bottom, but he didn't see any old marks of black talismans.

Lu Zheng said from the side: "Spiritual objects raised by nature will not be bad in self-healing ability."

Wen Bai held Tai Sui's miniature paw, shook it lightly, and said with a smile in his tone, "Did you sleep well?"

Little Tai Sui pursed his ears: "Okay!"

Xiao Deng hadn't seen his little friend for a long time, and when Wen Bai put down the little Tai Sui, he felt that the little mound was fresher than the jade gourd, so he buried it in the soil along with it, along with a little paper figurine.

Wen Bai, Lu Zheng and Di Ting were sitting nearby.

Half an hour later, it rained.

The rain was not heavy, and it was covered by the stone wall and trees above, so it hardly rained, but the shepherd boy still ran over and put the coir raincoat and bamboo hat on Wen Bai.

Wen Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said that children should take care of themselves first, and they wanted to return the coir raincoat, but the shepherd boy opened his eyes and said, "I'm not a child, I'm already hundreds of years old."

Wen Bai: "..."

In the end, Wen Bai took a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, fully armed and walked across the green.

After the Qingming Festival, Wen Bai chose a good day to decorate the newly bought house.

Speaking of decoration, it is actually adding some new furniture, mainly the things that small lamps and paper figurines like.

The college entrance examination is approaching, and occasionally when he is in the new house, Wen Bai will bring some supper for Yu Qi, and once happened to bump into Yu Qi's mother who came over.

Yu Qi had told his family about Wen Bai early in the morning, and Wen Bai was born to please the elders, so he quickly became acquainted.

On the day of the college entrance examination, Yu Qi's parents were delayed at work, and the plane was canceled, so they couldn't make it back.

Wen Bai and Lu Zheng happened to be in their new house. Although Yu Qi's test center was just a few minutes away from the High School Attached to Nantah University, Wen Bai was afraid that other children would have their parents to pick him up. This was the only time for the college entrance examination, so he sent a text message to Yu Qi's parents. , Said that he was responsible for Yu Qi's pick-up and food for the past two days, so that they could rest assured.

It was the first time for Lu Zheng to feel the atmosphere of the Yangjian exam. He had a college entrance exam right after he came here, which was also new.

When sending Yu Qi to school with Wen Bai, it not only attracted the attention of all the parents, but also the attention of all the candidates.

Anyone who could talk to Yu Qi asked him that day who they were.

Yu Qi rarely smiled and said, "My brother."

Yu Qi took the exam for two days, and Wen Bai was also surrounded by aunts and questioned for two days. At first, Wen Bai didn't notice it, but later he realized that he wanted to introduce someone to him, and hurriedly said that he already had a date.

A group of parents felt that it was a pity, so they focused their attention on Lu Zheng - they wanted to inquire about Lu Zheng at first, but this young man didn't seem very "easy to inquire".

This time Wen Bai refused more simply: "He also has a partner."

All the parents rested their minds.

On the day when the results of the college entrance examination came out, Wen Bai might have participated in the process of Yu Qi's college entrance examination, so Wen Bai was also a little inexplicably nervous.

Until Yu Qi called.

Lu Zheng answered the call.

There was no surprise in Lu Zheng's tone, he said "No. [-] scholar" lightly, but there was also a slight smile on his face.

Wen Bai's hanging heart fell to the ground.

But when he saw Yu Qi's report card with nearly perfect marks, he was still a little shocked.

Even though Rao already knew that he had won the No. [-] prize, the score was still ridiculously high.

Suzaku was not surprised at all, and just said: "I don't even look at how many seals Wenqu gave him that day, I am not surprised by the perfect score in the exam."

As soon as the No. [-] scholar's sign came out, Wen Bai's house price immediately rose, but Wen Bai didn't plan to sell this house, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Yu Qi's parents also had the same idea.

Originally they bought a small house to study for Yu Qi, and sold it when the college entrance examination was over, but now, when they knew that Wen Bai didn't plan to sell the house, they stopped making a move, saying that they could find someone like Wen Bai as a neighbor , can not be met.

Although Wen Bai didn't plan to sell the house, the house price has doubled, which is no different from making money.

After thinking about it, he bought a pair of rings when he got his July salary.

He and Lu Zheng's ring.

The ring was nothing fancy, very simple, only his and Lu Zheng's initials were printed on the inner ring.

The most thoughtful thing is probably that there is a small cluster of candles printed next to the name.

He has the ring, but Wen Bai doesn't know how to give it away.

He himself felt strange.

When I bought the ring, I didn't feel nervous at all. I even thought about putting it on for Lu Zheng on the same day, but when I got the ring, I never gave it away.

Until the day of Zhongyuan.

Last year during Zhongyuan, Wen Bai played around in the Night Festival and had a great time, thinking that the underworld servants had a lot of things to do this year, so he decided not to go anywhere, but to help out in the underworld.

After a busy day, when night fell, Lu Zheng said to take him somewhere.

Wen Bai just changed his clothes: "Where are you going?"

Lu Zheng straightened the broken hair on his forehead and said, "Yin Division."

Wen Bai's footsteps paused: "Underworld?"

"Well," Lu Zheng led the people out, "Didn't you say you wanted to go and have a look?"

"Today's Zhongyuan, the next one is also lively."

Only then did Wen Bai remember that he casually mentioned a few days ago, saying that he has been working in the Underworld Division for so long, and he still doesn't know what the Underground Division looks like.

Hearing what Lu Zheng said, I became curious.

There is a wall separating Dongtai and the underground Yin Division, as well as the worlds of Yin and Yang.

Passing through the white wall with the words "The Balance of the World" on the outermost side of Dongtai, as soon as Wen Bai opened his eyes, he was already underground.

It was so fast that he didn't even catch his breath.

The underworld servants have also said before that there is actually no difference between this underground underworld and Dongtai, whether it is inside or outside.

Everything in the yang world, everything in the underworld, such as high-rise buildings, mountains, forests, rivers and seas.

The only difference is that there are only a few underworld scenes.

Such as Guimenguan, such as Naihe Bridge, or... Huangquan.

Lu Zheng took Wen Bai along the coast of Huangquan.

They didn't meet many people, but as long as they met, they would stop and bow their heads to Lu Zheng, secretly look at Wen Bai, with a look that Wen Bai couldn't describe, and then run away.

It is very similar to Dongtai's errands.

"Here we are." Lu Zheng said.

Wen Bai didn't quite understand what Lu Zheng meant by "arrived", but he didn't bother to ask.

Where the two of them stood, there was a surging yellow spring in front of them, and a large sea of ​​bright red flowers behind them.

The flower color is bright red and eye-catching, but the petals are lit with dark green flames, harmoniously blending with each other, giving it a very cold and sharp beauty.

"What's the name of this flower?" Wen Bai asked.

Lu Zheng: "Santuhua."

Wen Bai: "Can I touch it?"

"Okay," Lu Zheng replied, "Don't touch it for a long time, the flame is cold fire."

Wen Bai touched the petals, feeling a little chilled.

Lu Zheng smiled, held Wen Bai's cold hand in his palm, and motioned him to look back.

Wen Bai: "?"

When Wen Bai turned around and saw ten thousand river lanterns floating from the underworld, he was instantly dumb.

The yellow spring that was still surging in the last second, is flowing slowly at this moment.

Thousands of river lanterns, thousands of candles sparkle.

If what you see in the picture of offering sacrifices to the night is the prosperity of the world, then this Yinsi Huangquan is a vast soup, boundless.

Lu Zheng took Wen Bai and took two steps forward.

The two stood on a broken horizontal stone, and Lu Zheng turned his head to look at him: "This is where I picked up Yuan Yuan."

This time Wen Bai was really stunned. After a while, he found his voice and repeated with some uncertainty: "Here?"

Lu Zheng nodded.

Wen Bai bent down and squatted down, looking at the arc several palms wide at the fracture surface of the horizontal stone, thinking that the little lamp stopped here.

"So that's why you brought me here?" Wen Bai raised his head and looked at him.

Lu Zheng: "By the way, I'll show you the river lantern."

Wen Bai was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and took out the pair of rings that had not been given away from his pocket.

He went all out and didn't look at Lu Zheng: "When we confirm our relationship in the world, we will wear rings."

While putting the ring on Lu Zheng's ring finger, Wen Bai said: "When others see the ring on your hand, they will know that you have a partner, and they won't approach you at will."

The ring was put on, but Lu Zheng kept silent.

Inexplicably, Wen Bai dared not raise his head.

His eyes were still fixed on the ring, and he asked, "Why don't you speak?"

What Wen Bai answered was a golden light wrapped around his ring finger.

Little by little, the golden light entangled into a circle.

Only then did Wen Bai raise his head: "What is this?"

Lu Zheng smiled lightly: "My ring."

Wen Bai felt a little familiar: "Your mysterious seal?"

Lu Zheng: "Spirit seal."

Lingyin is different from Xuanyin, the latter can have countless births, but the former has only one.

Before Wen Bai had recovered, Lu Zheng had already kissed Wen Bai's ring finger.

"Mine." He smiled.

Somehow Wen Bai became Lu Zheng's latecomer, obviously he was the one who started wearing the ring.

He thought for a while, and kissed Lu Zheng on the lips: "Then I'll stamp it too."

Lu Zheng smiled lightly.

Tens of thousands of river lanterns come across the water, with the names of the dead written on them and the mourning of the living.

Break open the gate of ghosts, break open the yin and yang.

And the turbulent Huangquan is only on the day of Zhongyuan, it is gentle and flows slowly.

Wen Bai wrote it by himself, let it go, so he knew what those people were thinking when they put down the river lantern.

Pray, wish, miss, someone reads the name, so the dead never die.

"It's so beautiful." Wen Bai said sincerely.

Lu Zheng has seen this scene countless times.

Year after year, always.

He thought that was all.

Until this person appeared in front of him.

During his endless dark years, a lamp suddenly ignited.

"Ah."

Since then, there has been no ember in the years, and everything is bright.

The author has something to say: since the end of the text, the most important thing to thank is the companionship of the babies. I have written down the names of many babies, and I bow deeply!

Thank you for liking Xiaobai and Lu Zheng, and thank you for accompanying Xiaobai and Lu Zheng to come here.

They are still old, and I hope we can continue to meet each other in future stories.

Thank you, with a big heart!
