Urban Night Returner

"Defying the heavens?" Zhong Lecen could hardly believe his ears, "You want to defy the heavens? Zuo Mu, are you crazy?"

Zuo Mu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Crazy? That's right, I'm already crazy." The laughter gradually faded, his eyes became deep, with indescribable pain, "Since I found out that I replaced my son's soul with my own hands. , I'm going crazy."

Zhong Lecen tried to convince him: "Suqin has already given birth to a child, and that child has no blood relationship with you."

"But that soul is my child!" Zuo Mu said stubbornly, "It's my child and Suqin's."

"Since you and Suqin missed it, it means that he shouldn't be your child in his life."

Zuo Mu sneered slightly: "I don't believe in fate. Do you believe it?" He turned his head to look at Zhong Lecen, "If you believe in fate, why did you leave Zhongshan? Why don't you chant scriptures and uphold the Buddha on Zhongshan and live a pure life?"

"I don't believe in fate either, so I'm working hard in this life. But I learned a lesson from the previous life, that is, don't be too attached. Zuo Mu, you are already too attached, to the point of madness! Don't you understand? ? You want to find a body for Suqin that can be attached to life, but replace the soul of Suqin's child, this is punishment! If you don't wake up, you will only make bigger mistakes."

Zuo Mu's expression had calmed down, and he slowly opened a pack of ketchup: "I can't hold back anymore. I have done too many things, nourishing the yin, leaving the house, and restraining the soul. Even if I want to go back, I can't go back." Go. This time, I must rescue Suqin, otherwise, I will destroy everything I can and be buried with Suqin." Tomato sauce squeezed out from his fingers, like thick blood.

Zhong Lecen found in despair that he could not convince him: "Do you think you can turn back time? I have never heard of such a spell for thousands of years. Don't say that my spiritual orifice is sealed, even if it is not sealed, do you think I can turn back time? Have the ability to defy the sky?"

Zuo Mu smiled: "Actually, there is an easiest way to turn back time."

"Easiest way?"

Zuo Mu smiled lightly: "It's the Three-Life Spring. Why can I see my previous life when I stand beside the Three-Life Spring? It's because the Three-Life Spring is actually a tunnel that goes back in time."

Zhong Lecen retorted in astonishment: "Impossible! Shen Gu and I once fell into the Sanshengquan, but we couldn't touch anything. And if you want to enter the Sanshengquan, you don't need me at all. You went to get it yourself Sansheng spring water."

Zuo Mu laughed aloud: "That's right, you have entered the Sansheng Spring, but the ones that entered were only souls, right?"

Zhong Lecen didn't need him to say it again: "You mean, give birth to the Sanshengquan? That's impossible!" The body cannot enter the underworld. No matter what kind of expert, I have never heard of anyone who brought a body into the gate of hell. of.

"That's why I need your help." Zuo Mu smiled slightly, stirring the bright red ketchup with French fries, "Actually, I tried it once."

Zhong Lecen suddenly remembered the Sansheng spring water he brought back: "Is that the one time?"

Zuo Mu threw the French fries into his mouth and chewed them: "That's right, that was the time. But the crack was too narrow, I could only reach in with one hand to take out the Sansheng Spring, but I couldn't enter the Sansheng Spring. There is still a layer between yin and yang.”

"You stole Zuo's book and learned Zuo Ci's space crack technique?"

"Don't talk about stealing. My surname is also Zuo, and I have a share in the Taoism of the Zuo family. These patriarchs of the Zuo family are too conservative, and the most subtle parts of the Zuo family's Taoism have been shelved, which has caused the Zuo family to decline day by day. What a shame. "

"Put it on the shelf, just to prevent people like you from using it to harm the world!"

Zuo Mu sneered: "Does harm to the world? Taoism is meant for people to use. Let me use it. It's better than rotten and moldy and no one will know. Besides, I just want to save Suqin. After that, the world can do whatever it wants. "

"But this will obliterate the existence of many people!"

"Is it obliterating the existence of that little police officer of yours?"

Zhong Lecen bit her lips tightly.It's useless to say anything to Zuo Mu, he's gone crazy, it's impossible to listen to anyone.

"I won't help you!"

Zuo Mu laughed again: "In fact, Mount Zhongnan is a very strange place. Look, Huangquanjing is clearly located in the south of the mountain, but it is the place with the most yin energy in the entire Zhongnan Mountain. It can be said that because of the existence of Huangquanjing, the At Zhongnan Mountain, yin and yang are reversed."

Zhong Lecen was taken aback.Zhongnan Mountain is the place where he was born and grew up, he is too familiar with it, and because of the familiarity, it is easy to ignore it.Indeed, Huangquanjing is the link between Yin and Yang. At this chaotic point, the boundary between Yin and Yang is no longer so indestructible, so there is no need to go to Huangquanjing. If you have enough spiritual power, you can go to any place in Zhongnan Mountain , can open the pathway of Yin and Yang.It's just that he never thought before that this pathway can not only pass through the soul, but also pass through the physical body.However, he dare not imagine what consequences a yin-yang road that can allow the body to pass will bring to this world.

"Where do you want to start?"

Zuo Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while, then smiled slightly: "Your home."

"What?" Zhong Lecen sat up abruptly again, and was dragged off by the handcuffs again, "You want to be at my house?"

Zuo Mu smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's your home. Your home must be the emptiest place at the solar eclipse tomorrow, not to mention the old house of the Zhong family, where the spiritual power of countless celestial masters has been cultivated for thousands of years. It’s the most suitable way to connect the worlds of Yin and Yang.” After a pause, he added lightly, “Besides, you’ve done things like forcefully open the Yin Road, right?”

Zhong Lecen was startled: "How do you know?" It was that time in the demolition area in Cangkou, because Shen Gu's soul was swallowed by the Nian Beast, he once forcibly opened a dark path to find Shen Gu.

"Oh, the monster who was accidentally injured by the thunder you attracted brought the lawsuit to the Celestial Masters Association. Of course, I will also hear the news at 01:30. A few friends."

Zhong Lecen guessed that the Zuo Yang he was talking about was Zuo Jian's third uncle, but he no longer had the heart to think about it: "Being able to open the Yin Road does not mean that I can also send you to Sanshengquan."

Zuo Mu laughed: "Mr. Shen, you are too modest. Your spiritual orifice is still sealed, and you can force open the Yin way. What if you open it all?"

"Then what method are you going to use to open my spiritual aperture?" Zhong Lecen didn't believe that Zuo Mu was so sure about opening his spiritual aperture, after all, it was sealed by his father with all his spiritual power.As a child his grandfather and uncles had alienated him for fear of accidentally breaking the seal, but now, 20 years later, the seal has proven to be extremely effective.If Zuo Mu could open it easily, then he wouldn't need to ask him for help at all, he could just go directly to Sanshengquan by himself.

But Zuo Mu just smiled, until he ate up all the food, then stood up and said: "Instinct." After finishing speaking, he went to the next room to sleep.

Zhong Lecen couldn't sleep.He pondered over the word "instinct" over and over again, but until the sky at the window gradually changed from black to blue, he couldn't figure out what the method of this instinct was.

A sleepless night.Standing on the hillside with the dog ghost, Shen Gu looked at the fiery red sun showing his face from behind the eastern peak, feeling anxious in his heart.That night, everyone in the Zhong family didn't sleep well.Qiongqi appeared from east to west and injured several young children, but he still failed to get close to Huangquanjing.Almost everyone in the Zhong family gathered in the Huangquanjing area, and he was the only one who searched the mountains with the dog ghost.But, nothing.Now that the sun has risen, a total solar eclipse will occur in an hour.

Standing in this position, condescending, Shen Gu can see Huangquanjing from a distance.Huangquanjing is different from what he imagined, it looks like an ordinary spring, clear water flows out, forming a thin stream, flowing down the hillside.It was late summer and early autumn, but the trees around Huangquan Well looked like early summer, and some of the leaves hadn't fully grown yet, so he could see the mouth of the well through the sparse branches and leaves.Around Huangquanjing is the talisman array set up by Zhong's family. The innermost part of the forest is the oldest and most capable. The young children are led by Zhong Leyang to form an array on the outside.It seems that even without Zuo Mu's incident, the Zhong family attached great importance to this solar eclipse.

Staring at the water flow, Shen Gu couldn't help thinking of what Zhong Lecen said: the water in the world enters the underworld from Guixu and turns into the underworld, and then flows out to be used again by the world. Maybe the Yellow Spring Well is the filter that keeps the ghosts in the underworld, and the cleaned water is released into the world of the earth.

"Le Cen--" Shen Gu closed his eyes, "Where are you?" Since the acquaintance, it was the first time for him to be so far away from Zhong Le Cen. It was not the distance, but the panic of uncertainty.

The sun has risen higher, and the sunlight is already a little dazzling.Shen Gu raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then walked down the hillside.The Zhong family did not ask him to help guard the well. First, he is an outsider. Second, the spiritual power in him is probably Yin quality, which will only have a negative effect on Huangquanjing.

"Aw--" From the depths of the dense forest, Qiongqi howled.The young disciples of the Zhong family who were guarding the outskirts of Huangquanjing were confused for a few minutes, but calmed down immediately.With a low growl from the dog ghost's throat, he took a few steps forward, then looked back at Shen Gu.

Shen Gu stood still, just now, when Qiongqi's roar came, he suddenly felt something was wrong.What is wrong?Shen Gu looked around.Everything seems to be normal. With the strict defense of the Zhong family, even if Zuo Mu appeared, it would be difficult to rush into Huangquanjing, right?

Shen Gu stood up straight.That's what's wrong!With Zhong's defense like this, how can Zuo Mu open Huangquanjing?If the Yellow Spring Well cannot be opened, what will he do to get Le Cen away?Could it be that they want to use space cracks to suddenly appear when the solar eclipse starts?Not right either.Even if he appeared suddenly, surrounded by so many experts from the Zhong family, would he be able to succeed in one fell swoop?This is really impossible. Besides, it will take time for him to open Le Cen's spiritual aperture, right?Qiong Qi kept showing up. Yesterday they thought it was a trick to draw the attention of the Zhong family away, but this can also be explained in another way-it was still a trick to get the attention of the Zhong family. The force is completely directed to the well of the underworld!If this explanation is true, then Zuo Mu's goal is not Huangquanjing!

Shen Gu looked around.If Zuo Mu's goal is not Huangquanjing, where is it?Could it be that he is no longer in Zhongnanshan?Shen Gu tried his best to recall what Zhong Yuanhong said to him last night about "his heart is connected" - to search with heart, with heart!Le Cen, are you not at Zhongnan Mountain anymore?No, no, he has a feeling that Zhong Lecen must still be in Zhongnan Mountain, but he doesn't know where he is.Zhongnan Shan started from Mei County in the west and went to Lantian in the east, stretching for hundreds of miles, with more than a dozen peaks, where would he find it?

The sky became dark at some point, and a gust of wind blew by, bringing chills to the bones.Shen Gu raised his head subconsciously to glance at the sky, then lowered his head abruptly, leaving a sun image with a gap on his retina, and the solar eclipse began.

The whole solar eclipse lasted a little more than an hour, and the total eclipse time was 6 minutes. Although the total eclipse cannot be seen here, the yin energy pouring out during the total eclipse will not decrease at all.

The sky is gradually dimming. During the solar eclipse in 08, Shen Gu was on a mission outside. Because it was indoors, he didn't see the solar eclipse, so he didn't feel anything.But now on Mount Zhongnan, not far from the Yellow Spring Well, he felt bursts of dark energy coming from the direction of the Yellow Spring Well, as if there was not a well, but an iceberg.

The sky suddenly turned cloudy again.From the running water on the ground, Shen Gu saw that the sun was covered by dark clouds, and it looked like evening.Faintly, Shen Gu heard a burst of thunder.It is going to rain?No wonder it got dark so quickly.

Boom!A heavy thunder rolled past, and the sky was already pitch black.Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, piercing the sky like a knife.Shen Gu's heart suddenly moved, the lightning was so close that it seemed to strike right in front of his eyes.That direction, like the direction of Zhong's old house!

Shen Gu suddenly ran away: "Yakumo, let's go!" Now he has a strong feeling that Zhong Lecen should be in the old house!Don't ask him how he knows, he just knows!

The lightning flashed one after another, and they could be counted at first, but within a few minutes, a web was woven.Shen Gu felt that the hair on the back of the neck seemed to stand up slightly, and there was a burnt smell all around.Just tens of meters away from him, a tree was knocked down by lightning, and a light blue flame snake wrapped around half of the tree, dancing wildly towards the sky.

Shen Gu jumped over a stream.When jumping over, he subconsciously glanced down - in the pale light of the lightning, the stream was flowing backwards!

Yes, flow backwards!Shen Gu looked back while running, yes.Streams flow out of Huangquan wells, and flow from high places to low places according to the law of universal gravitation.But now, the stream is flowing backwards.Shen Gu had a feeling of dizziness, like spinning around or going backwards, which was very strange.

The thunder was dense, like a heavy hammer hitting the ground, shaking people's chests.There was no rain, not a drop of rain, just lightning bolts.Shen Gu suddenly remembered what Zhong Lecen had said after Zhang Shengyi looked for them: That thunder hit me.

Could it be... Shen Gu felt that he could hardly think about it, what could Zhong Lecen do to cause such a lightning strike?While thinking, he ran towards Zhong's old house.But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than lightning. Seeing more than ten bolts of lightning gathered together, they looked like a thick beam of light, and like a sharp sword, they plunged in the direction of Zhong's old house.At that moment, Shen Gu felt that he saw Zhong Lecen standing there, the lightning sword was stabbing at the top of his head, almost without thinking, he stretched out his hand to grab Zhong Lecen, just like when he was facing danger before, he slammed Pull him behind you!

Pricking—the sound of cloth being torn could hardly be heard in the deafening thunder, but Shen Gu suddenly found that there was really an extra piece of cloth in his hand, and he recognized this piece of cloth because he was going to accompany Zhong Lecen with that shirt bought.At that time, Zhong Lecen thought the material was too thin, the color was too bright, and this or that, but in fact there was only one real reason - he thought it was expensive.Now, he tore off a piece of his most expensive shirt, well, the money was wasted again...

Shen Gu wondered why he still thought about these things, and when he was running wildly in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, his mind was still thinking about these things.He knew that Zhong Lecen was in Zhong's old house, and he was definitely not alone, because just now his strength could have pulled Zhong Lecen over, but he failed because Zhong Lecen's other hand was grabbed by another person.

It was only at this time that Zhong Lecen knew what Zuo Mu meant by "instinct".

Thunder rumbled overhead, the first thunder was because Zuo Muqiang opened a dark path, but the thunder behind him all came towards him.Because when the first thunder blasted, Zuo Mu pushed him to the front. The coercion brought by the sky thunder made every blood in his body swell. Awakened by the disaster, this is the instinct, the instinct to refuse death and protect oneself!This is something that cannot be suppressed by seals, and it cannot be suppressed by reason. The denser the thunder, the more restless his spiritual power will be. The more restless his spiritual power, the denser the thunder...

The last thunderbolt struck Zhong Lecen's head.The beam of light gathered by the lightning was as thick as a hug, and before it fell down, Zhong Lecen felt that every pore in his body seemed to be spitting out fire. He knew that he could no longer stop it, and no seal could stop this thunder threat. To prevent the full awakening of the demon nature, as long as the lightning strikes and falls on his head...

His arm was suddenly pulled, and Zhong Lecen staggered a few steps to the side under this force, but his left hand was firmly handcuffed by Zuo Mu, so he couldn't be pulled out that time. It just pulled him down, and then the thunder fell on Zuo Mu.For a moment, a sulfur-like smell filled the entire space.What Zhong Lecen thought at this moment was - fortunately only grandpa lived in this yard, fortunately the whole family probably went to Huangquanjing today...

Zuo Mu never expected such an outburst to happen in the end.He has been hungry for Zhong Lecen for several days, just afraid that he will resist.But obviously this kid was so hungry that he was exhausted, where did he get the strength to suddenly earn it?If he hadn't handcuffed the two of them together, this kid might have really run away!But he didn't have time to think too much, because now Tianxin Lei, who can kill all demons and ghosts, has already hit him.In this position, before Zhong Lecen had time to wake up, he was shocked by the thunder.In the midst of all kinds of crises, he raised his free left hand, swung his palm like a knife, and suddenly a crack was split in the air around him. He pulled Zhong Lecen and rolled in, but Zhong Lecen didn't cooperate, and the two of them rolled into each other after all. Slower, before the crack closed, Tianxin Lei had already caught up, and there was a loud bang, and the whole crack was suddenly cracked a little bigger by the thunder, and then the air fluctuated and closed like water, leaving only A little scorch, and the smell of sulfur in the air...
