Urban Night Returner

The sigh became heavier, a jade-like gleam glowed on the blade of the ancient Tai'a sword, and a faint human figure appeared in the midair, wearing a ochre-colored short coat and walking on straw sandals, looking down at Shen Shen with lonely eyes. Gu: "Who is the son?"

Shen Gu opened his mouth, unable to answer.It's really not easy to explain who a person is, not to mention a group of ghosts have gathered outside the woods, do ghosts wait for someone?

Ou Yezi looked at him with compassion: "Where is your friend?"

After pondering for a while, Shen Gu realized that he was asking Zhong Lecen: "He went down the mountain to ask for help." The ghost was already close at hand, Shen Gu picked up the Tai'a sword, turned around and ran, Ou Yezi floated in the air and followed him: " Now that your friend is gone, can you come back?"

It was very difficult for Shen Gu to listen to his polite words, and with a strong accent: "It's too dangerous here, it's best if he doesn't come back!"

Ou Yezi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "If you die alone, will you have no complaints?"

Shen Gu said impatiently: "I am willing, you don't care about me!" He ran half to death and his ears were tired, so he regretted picking it up.

Ou Yezi was silent for a long time before letting out a low sigh: "Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, there are still people who are like-minded...drawing their swords!"

The Tai'a sword in Shen Gu's hand was not equipped with a sheath, but Ou Yezi's shout was full of undeniable momentum, Shen Gu subconsciously held the hilt with his right hand, and made a movement of drawing the sword.At this moment, he actually saw that Tai'a sword had an extra dark brown leather sheath.The tanned cowhide is hot-pressed with gold patterns, and the mouth is made of shark skin. The entire scabbard looks like a leopard with an elongated body and rushing forward. There are also two yellow cat's eyes on the leopard's head. You can even feel the gentle resistance of the swallowing mouth when drawing the sword...

The sword is out of its sheath, shining brightly!Ou Yezi's floating figure suddenly became clear, he stretched out an arm, and shouted loudly: "Hey!"

Zhong Leyang has never seen his eldest brother look so distraught.Zhong Lecen dragged him and ran up Signal Hill, and he didn't even have time to ask a question.But after climbing to the top of the mountain in one breath, there was only a full moon shining on the white bones in the clearing.Zhong Lecen looked around in horror, and shouted with all his strength: "Shen Gu——"

Almost at the same time as he shouted, the moonlight suddenly dimmed, as if it was suddenly covered with a black cloth.Even though Zhong Lecen didn't have yin and yang eyes, he could still see a dark cloud rising rapidly with the strong wind, rolling towards him like a herd of galloping horses.

"Yin Soldiers!" The invisible horseshoes in the clouds rose and fell like drums, driving the wooden wheels of the chariot and crushed them. I couldn't hear the sound, but I could feel the shock that made the earth tremble from the bottom of my heart. shock.Swords, guns, swords and halberds gleamed dimly in the dim moonlight, tightly held in the hands of those soldiers who couldn't see their faces.The cold wind whizzed, like their shouts, rushing down somewhere on the mountainside...

"Hey!" Xiao Heizi jumped up as soon as he saw Shen Gu, "I said what's going on? Why couldn't I find you when I took people there that day? Did you get the sword back? What about the Japanese? What? Let him run away?"

Shen Gu smiled at his series of questions: "I was afraid that the thing would be hurt, so I patronized the thing and let him run away." No one would believe the story of the night walk of the ghosts, let alone Ou Yezi's appearance. After hearing that, even Kuritaguchi's bones were trampled to dust by the Yin soldiers, so he could only say that Kuritaguchi ran away.

Xiao Heizi scratched his head: "You must have something to hide from me...Forget it, Captain Zuo is coming back soon, let him come back and tell you if there is anything. Hey, let me tell you, I heard that you are willing to come to our team?"

Shen Gu smiled slightly: "However, I will take a few days off first to do some errands, and come to report when I come back." The so-called "doing some errands" is Ou Yezi's business.This thousand-year-old lonely soul does not want to live in the ancient sword anymore, and hopes to return to his homeland to take a look.In any case, he also saved Shen Gu, so Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen decided to send him back in person.

Little Heizi looked Shen Gu up and down, and asked suspiciously: "What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Shen Gu touched his face: "Is there?"

Little Heizi nodded his head, "Yes, yes, you've been laughing since you came in, what's so happy about it?"

"You read it wrong."

"Cut!" Xiao Heizi showed contempt, "Even if the cultural relics are recovered, don't you have to be so happy?"

Shen Gu smiled but did not answer.He has already handed in the Tai'a sword.After Ou Yezi's soul left, the sword returned to an ordinary iron sword.However, since not everyone can use legends as evidence like Zhong Lecen, no one will know that the intrinsic value of this sword will change so much.

Little Heizi was very curious, but Chen Gu's mouth was more secure than a lock, and he didn't ask any questions, so he could only watch Shen Gu finish the formalities and leave, not forgetting to yell behind him: "I said, you must come to report after finishing the work. I have already told Captain Zuo that if you change your mind, I will be killed by him for lying about the military situation!"

After leaving the gate of the bureau, Shen Gu saw Zhong Leyang leaning on the side of the road at a glance: "Why are you here? Where's your brother?"

"My brother went to the clinic." Zhong Leyang stood up straight, "Are you okay? Let's talk."

Shen Gu squinted his eyes and looked at him: "What are you talking about? If you asked the question that day, I can answer you now—"

Zhong Leyang raised his hand to interrupt him: "Don't! Don't tell me how you and my brother are in love with each other. I am not blind, I can see." I don't know why my brother fell in love with you."

Shen Gu smiled slightly.Now he is the winner, and he doesn't need to haggle over with the little P kid.What Zhong Leyang was talking about was that Zhong Lecen hugged him and did not let go after the Yin soldiers passed by that day. At that time, he saw the distorted expression of the little P boy. If you ignore the dangerous situation a few seconds ago, it was really a good day.

Zhong Leyang showed contempt for his smile, but it didn't take long before he failed: "Let me tell you, how much do you really know about my brother?"

"Not much in the past, I will have the opportunity to gradually understand in the future."

Zhong Leyang turned his head and curled his lips, then turned back: "So I have to have a good talk with you, find a quiet place, and you treat me."

The so-called quiet place is nothing more than a coffee shop or something.Shen Gu ordered a cup of black coffee, and Zhong Leyang ordered ice cream.There was no one in the cafe, only the brisk melody of a serenade streaming from the speakers.Zhong Leyang lit a cigarette and was silent for a while before saying, "My brother is the eldest grandson of our Zhong family's generation."

The eldest grandson?Shen Gu thought, from this point of view, the fate between him and Zhong Lecen was destined, and from the perspective of the Xiao family, he is also the eldest grandson of the eldest house.If you count from the Shen family's side... He is the only descendant of the Shen family, so you can say anything.

Zhong Leyang knocked on the table, looking very troubled: "Can you listen carefully? I'm not talking nonsense to you. Generally speaking, the descendants of our Zhong family are born with spiritual power, especially the first child of each generation. The spiritual power is even more outstanding. So my brother is still in my aunt's stomach, so my grandfather is looking forward to it. It is said that my brother was born with Yin Yang eyes. This makes my grandfather so happy that he specially invited the Dongfang family My old man came to tell my brother's fortune. Who knew that it was a bad omen - my brother not only lived to be only 30 years old, but also had extremely bad luck. It’s a catastrophe. My grandfather didn’t believe it at first, and none of the whole family dared to believe it, because no one in our Zhong family has had such a fortune in generations, and my brother’s birthday is very peaceful. It's different, so everyone didn't pay much attention to it. But when my brother was a little older, my uncle found that he didn't have much talent except Yin-Yang eyes. The children of our Zhong family started to learn to draw symbols when they were three years old. The talisman drawn by my brother is the most accurate, but also the most useless. I am four years younger than my brother, but my talisman is much better than his. And when my brother was seven years old, my aunt died, and my uncle’s body was damaged. It became very bad, and grandpa had to believe that old man Dongfang's fortune-telling was right—my brother was indeed a natural disaster star."

Shen Gu frowned: "What disaster star? I have known your brother for so long, why haven't I seen anything?"

Zhong Leyang frowned tightly: "What are you in a hurry for? I haven't finished yet. Ever since my aunt passed away, my uncle has made up his mind to change my brother's life."

"It's Su Wan?" Shen Gu doesn't like to hear such things, especially don't like to hear people say that Zhong Lecen is a disaster.According to him, it was because these people talked too much that Zhong Lecen was always living in guilt.

"It's Su Wan. He and my brother are in the same year, the same month, the same day, but he is blessed with a smooth life, so my uncle changed their lives."

Shen Gu really wanted to ask how to change this life?Go to the police station to register like changing your name?Or just exchange IDs?Well, he can believe that there are ghosts in this world, but he really doesn't believe in fate.Let's just talk about Zhong Lecen, saying that he exchanged a blessed life with Su Wan, isn't it always unlucky?

"Fate of great fortune? He was kicked out of his family because of such great fortune?"

Zhong Leyang lowered his head and poked the ice cream with a spoon: "It's my grandfather's fault. There is also competition in the field of celestial masters. They all say that peers are inferior. Our Zhong family and the Zhang family in Jiangxi Longhushan have been secretly competing for so many years. The Zhang family of this generation The first son was a few months younger than my brother. It is said that when he was born, he carried the six-character mantra of Buddhism on his body. He was the first son of the Zhang family to gather the elders of Buddhism and Taoism in dozens of generations. The Zhang family died proudly. During the full moon, I specially invited my grandpa back. My grandpa is just too competitive. Look at the talent of the eldest grandson of the family, and my family...so..."

"That's why you look down on your brother?" Shen Gu became a little angry, "Is that your brother's fault?"

Zhong Leyang sighed: "Of course I don't blame my brother. My grandfather doesn't blame him either, he just... doesn't love him. And my brother left home, not because he has no spiritual power, but because he...he likes men. My grandfather That person is very traditional, and my brother is the eldest grandson, that's why there was such a big commotion. My brother is also quite stubborn. My grandfather actually said something angry at the time. He turned around and left. My grandfather couldn't find him even if he wanted to step down. the steps..."

"Actually, my brother is very smart. If it wasn't for his lack of spiritual power, I think he is the most talented in the Zhong family. No matter what spells he has, he has a photographic memory. When he was three years old, he would use blindfolding. Although blindfolding is a small spell, it can There are three, six, nine, etc. My brother's cover-ups at that time could have fooled my uncle. But after all, he doesn't have profound spiritual power, and he can use small spells well, but big ones can't. There is really no way. But my brother is really smart, sometimes he can use small magic to do things that other people can't do with big magic. For example, my brother's pair of glasses, can you see anything special?"

"It's a flat mirror with patterns on the frame."

Zhong Leyang looked at him a little surprised: "You really care about my brother. That's right, my brother is not short-sighted at all, and those glasses are made of Yangsui. Yangsui is a thing that makes fire in the sun. Zhizhong Qi is the treasure of our Zhong family. Originally, it was passed on to my uncle by my grandfather, who then passed it on to my brother. Others usually only use Yangsui to kill ghosts, but my brother can use it to see ghosts. Change your life Afterwards, he lost his yin and yang eyes, but he made Yangsui into glasses, and engraved a spirit-gathering talisman on the frame to gather the aura in the Yangsui into his eyes, so he could see ghosts even without yin and yang eyes. But he was not born with it after all. Yes, there are always limitations. It’s okay to wear these glasses during the day, but if you wear them at night, you can see ghosts within 20 meters, but you can’t see anything beyond 20 meters, including things that are not ghosts.”

Shen Gu nodded slightly, thinking of Zhong Lecen's Lu Chi, it seems there is a reason.

"Also, do you know what my brother asked me for talismans last time? My brother's talismans are very beautiful, but he can draw some spells, but they are useless, as if no matter how clear the photo is, it is not a living person The same. But he can use the talisman I drew. You know that spells are usually drawn by yourself. The talisman drawn by others, or the person who drew the talisman has become a fairy or a Buddha, and the spell left behind has great power. To be able to be used by others, I think I don’t have this ability; or the kung fu of using talismans has been perfected, and any talisman can be used immediately—I think my brother belongs to this situation.”

Shen Gu was in a fog.Zhong Leyang stroked his hair: "Well... Let me use an analogy. My brother said you are a special forces sniper, right? Then do you use your own gun to shoot the most accurately?"

Shen Gu replied straightforwardly: "I don't think so." In fact, he can use any gun, and he can use it well.

Zhong Leyang rolled his eyes: "Okay, then you are the kind of person who is proficient in kung fu, but not everyone is like you, some people can only use their own guns to be good at it?"

Shen Gu nodded slightly.Indeed, when they were in the army, most of the sniper team liked to use their own guns, thinking that was the most secure way.Originally, it is the most normal to feel the most when you use the smooth one.

"But there are some weapons—I don't know whether they are accurate or not—they are all programmed, and you don't need a knowledgeable person, just an amateur, and you can hit the target with a press of a button. It's like those ancient weapons. The talisman handed down by the sages can be effective in anyone's hands."

When he said that, Shen Gu understood better: "Then your brother should be very capable, right?"

Zhong Leyang sighed: "Yes, according to my brother, he should be, but he is not. It's really strange. I always feel that my brother has no spiritual power, but he has no spiritual opening. Maybe one day he will open it. Qiao, better than anyone else."

Shen Gu felt that it was meaningless to discuss these things: "What exactly do you want to say?" Whether Zhong Lecen has spiritual power or not is the same for him.

Zhong Leyang glared at him: "That's my brother! I'm telling you about my brother, so that he can get to know him well so that he can understand his feelings. My brother is too soft-hearted and easy to be bullied. I Tell you, don't look at my brother accepting you, if you make my brother angry, I will never end with you!"

Shen Gu said sharply: "You want to say that because your family members look down on him and make him have an inferiority complex, you will yield everything to others, so you are easy to be bullied?"

Zhong Leyang's face was blue and red, and finally he bowed his head and remained silent.Shen Gu sneered, picked up the coffee and drank it down: "Don't worry, with me here, no one will be able to bully your brother in the future."

Zhong Leyang muttered unwillingly: "You have to promise not to bully my brother first, why did my brother fall in love with you?"

Shen Gu ordered the ice cream in front of him: "Eat it quickly, and go home after eating. Didn't your brother tell you to go back early today to give you a farewell party?"

Zhong Leyang looked at him with bad intentions: "Don't be so anxious to drive me away, right? This time, the instructor has to arrest me and go back to work. I can't help it. I can come back for the summer vacation in August."

Shen Gu resisted the desire to roll his eyes: "Okay, but you have to leave tonight, if you come over again, let's wait until you can come over."
