I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

Everything has to be said when Huiyou Ji left Xiaojiao's room...

In the cold night, thinking of Xiao Jiao's icy body just now, You Ji hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the kitchen to make some ginger tea for Xiao Jiao before looking for Jiang Miao and the others.

When cutting ginger slices, You Ji always felt a little restless, and he was not good at doing these things, and he almost cut his hand several times.

Until the teapot on the stove made a sharp whistle of "shh--", he suddenly narrowed his pupils, and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck..."

Then he dropped the knife, turned around and ran outside.

Ginger fell to the ground and rolled towards the corner of the wall...

Xiaojiao said to him: "Yes." Thinking about it now, that look seemed to be saying goodbye.

Yes... This is obviously an answer.

He once asked Ajiao in the ghost market, besides the obsession with not wanting to enter reincarnation, is there anything in this world that he can't let go of, or is reluctant to part with?

Ajiao didn't speak at that time, so she didn't have time to say "Is it me?"

Now, Xiaojiao told him "yes." The answer should be Ajiao's answer that day.

But how could Xiaojiao know this!You Ji clenched his teeth, trembling between his teeth.

There is only one possibility, at that time in the grotto besides Jiang Miao, Xiao Jiao also heard the inner voice of A Jiao in the pupa!

Come to think of it, they are one!You Ji pushed open the door, and his heart fell to the bottom instantly.

The red candle was still burning slowly, and there was silence all around.The west window was opened, and the night rain was constantly sweeping into the house...

……

In the Luoshen Grottoes, Xiao Jiao stood barefoot in front of the pupa, her whole body still undulating slightly, panting.In his desperation, he still forgot to listen to You Ji and put on his shoes.As a result, there were scars on the originally fair and clean feet.

A cocoon formed in the corner above the stone wall, and was bitten by the butterfly that was about to emerge, and it was struggling to crawl out.

Xiaojiao looked at the underworld butterfly attached to the cocoon, shaking its wings.There was a calm and expectant smile on the corner of his lips.

"You came behind their backs?"

The skinless blood corpse in the chrysalis was still curled up and sleeping, but Xiao Jiao could hear his inner voice clearly.

"Yeah." Xiaojiao nodded.

"Do you really have to decide?" said the soft and ethereal voice, "Do you know what will happen to you if you do this?"

Xiaojiao's eyes flickered when he heard the words: "You and I are alone, you must understand my thoughts."

There was a moment of silence.

Xiaojiao looked at the cocoon in the corner again, and at this time the butterfly had half opened its crow-blue wings.I think it won't be long before I can learn to fly.

"Only by abandoning the identity of a caterpillar can one break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, isn't it?" Xiaojiao said softly, "It is undeniable that the butterfly itself is a caterpillar."

Speaking of this, his eyes became distant, as if he had really traveled through time and saw the future.

He said softly: "I want to be with Brother You Ji and be his bride. Then go to the train with him, see the mountains, rivers and lakes, see the neon lights, and when we are tired, we will return to our home Take a rest, pack your bags and set off again when you get tired of being tired... and these, if you live in the picture scroll, you will never be able to achieve it."

"So, this matter is actually not that difficult to decide, right?" After finishing speaking, Xiaojiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath.There was no fear in his expression, on the contrary, he added a dash of anticipation towards death.

Then, he shook out a cold dagger from his sleeve, and pressed it precisely on his chest.

"I thought about it for a long time, and I decided to use a dagger. After all, other dead faces are not very good-looking. It would be bad if there were too many scars on this human skin." The knuckles of the fingers are white and prominent.Just as he was about to stab the sharp knife into his body, someone hit the back of his head severely.

The dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

The butterfly on the cocoon seemed to be frightened, and waved its wings strangely and flew away.And the person who suddenly appeared behind Xiao Jiao had a frenzied smile on his face.

He was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his blood-red eyes were wide open, as if the eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets in the next second.

It doesn't look like a stranger, but like a ghost.

It was Tang Deyong.

He threw the wooden stick aside, bent down and hugged Xiaojiao horizontally, turned around and whispered lovingly: "My darling, how can I let you do it yourself? Don't worry, Dad will help you... It's already a lot." Again, Dad's technique is very good, you won't feel any pain at all... When the lantern is lit again, everything will return to the original point, and you will still be Dad's most beloved son. Dad will also be there next time Before reincarnation returns, I will give you all my love... my son, sleep, sleep..."

Tang Deyong patted Xiao Jiao lightly like coaxing a baby, placed him in the middle of the altar, and then tied his ink-like black hair, revealing his slender and fair neck.

The singing in the phonograph was long and lingering. Tang Deyong caressed Xiao Jiao affectionately as if he was treating a very precious work of art, from eyebrows to nose to lips, fascinated...

"The sky is full of clouds and mist, and the clothes are light, like being next to the Milky Way. Where can I find the misty spring? The misty moon is too cold..." He hummed intoxicatedly along with the record, and put the needle knife in his hand on the gravel Rubbing it up and down, he frowned and said to himself, "This time it's white, but it's just a little too thin... Next time, next time dad will try to make you fatter."

After the song was played, the needle knife in Tang Deyong's hand was also sharpened.He stroked Xiao Jiao's cheek, moved the needle knife to the top of his head, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Son, let's get started!"

"Screw your grandma!"

A piece of talisman was caught in the strong wind, and "swish--" it was cut on Tang Deyong's wrist.

Tang Deyong let out a cry of pain, and the needle knife in his hand fell to the ground.

You Ji, who arrived in time, saw Xiao Jiao being stripped naked by Tang Deyong and placed on the altar, his lungs were about to explode.

He gritted his teeth and drew his gun and pointed at Tang Deyong fiercely, and said in a hateful voice: "I'll fucking beat you into a sieve today, and pour sulfuric acid into it!"

While he was cursing, Jiang Miao had already rolled up Xiao Jiao on the altar with the soul-locking whip, and brought him to his side.Then he took off his coat and quickly covered him.

"Stop talking nonsense with him." Jiang Xiao's half-downcast eyes were filled with deep disgust, and he gritted his teeth, "Whatever happens to him, kill this bastard first!"

Hearing this, Tang Deyong suddenly looked up to the sky and burst into a series of crazy laughter.

He stared at Jiang Miao and the others viciously, and said hoarsely, "It seems that what the Taoist said is true...you are here to sabotage my good deeds!"

Speaking of this, Tang Deyong changed the subject: "But don't you think about it, why is this temple always unguarded?"

Following his words, the entire Luoshen Grottoes began to shake violently.

Qi Chi took half a step back, a red light wrapped around his hand.

"Be careful." He reminded in a low voice.

As soon as the words fell, the huge statue of Luo God actually started to move by itself.

The gravel fell one after another, and the moss on the boulders faded from the statue of Luoshen, returning to its original gorgeous and bright colors.

She is like the mysterious and beautiful flying apsaras in the Dunhuang murals, dancing in strange postures, becoming more and more flexible.And those gravel and rubble also turned into bright red crabapple flowers following her dancing posture.Along with it, there is also a strong murderous aura that cannot be dispelled in the air...

At this time, a long cry suddenly came from the grotto, and a pure white four-horned deer came from the rock wall.A man with a human head and a snake body and red hair sat on Shenlu's body.

"That's... Fuzhu?" Qi Chi whispered.

Jiang Miao frowned: "What?"

"That deer's name is Fuzhu." Xichi paused, "It's the mount of Gonggong, the god of water. As for the two behind him, one named Xiangliu and the other named Fuyou, they are not very good."

"Ancient mythology? Is this...an illusion again?" Jiang Miao frowned, clenched his soul-locking whip tightly, "What is the origin of this statue of Luo God?"

Qi Chi frowned and shook his head: "I don't know."

I only heard an unhurried voice coming from the depths of the grotto.

"Brother Gonggong, come to play chess again today?"

With the voice, the raging red flames formed a curtain of fire in front of one person, and one could vaguely see the man with the body of a beast and a human face, sitting on a stone bench, with a huge chessboard in front of him, and every chess piece on it All burning with flames.

"Let's talk about other things first, brother Vulcan." Gonggong, the water god, turned over and got off the white deer, dispersed the fire curtain with a wave of his hand, and sat opposite Vulcan, and said in a dark voice, "Why did you secretly send someone to destroy me? Water Temple?"

The Vulcan God Zhu Rong let out a muffled laugh when he heard the words: "Oh, I haven't even looked for you yet, but you came here to Xingshi to inquire about the crime." He paused and said, "Then who destroyed my Guangming Palace? "

The atmosphere fell to a low ebb for a while, and the two gods of water and fire didn't speak anymore, but the killing intent around them became more intense.

After a while, Gong Gong said in a low voice: "I think I have played so many games of chess, and it was always a draw. Why don't we play a new game today?"

"Oh? Let's hear it." Zhu Rong said with great interest.

"As far as I know, there are nine Li clans in the world, and the patriarch's name is Chi You. This person is powerful and ambitious. In terms of talent, he is no less than Emperor Yan. It's just that he has been hindered by his brother's affection, and he can't bear to start a war against Emperor Yan... …Now we might as well send a dream from the sky, tell him that the time is ripe, and take the opportunity to help him."

"You mean... want to play a real chess game?"

"That's right." Gonggong smiled faintly, "When the war broke out in the human world, you and I will go to one side, using real people as chess pieces, and the world as a board, how is it better than him?"

"Interesting and interesting." Zhu Rong played with the flame in his palm, looked up at Gong Gong and asked, "So, what about the bet?"

With a hook of his fingertips, Gong Gong lifted the flame in Zhu Rong's hand to his face, and it turned into a jet of water.

He yawned and said nonchalantly, "Then...the money for rebuilding the temple will be paid by whoever loses."

"Okay! If you leave it to others to fight, you and I won't be angry, and we won't hurt the peace. Let's do it like this!"

"Then... it's a deal?"

Jiang Miao, who was watching the whole process, could only feel angry at this moment, and couldn't help gritting his teeth: "It's just for a boring game, and the living people are treated as pawns, and they don't hesitate to make the world into chaos and people. Is this the so-called god? "

When he said this, he was taken aback for a moment.

Why are these words so familiar?It seems that a long time ago, he also said that?

"Who?!"

Gong Gong and Zhu Rong suddenly turned their heads and stared at Jiang Miao.

The begonia flowers fall, and when the time comes, two powerful forces, one water and one fire, turned into two ferocious dragons, roaring towards the three of Jiang Xiao!
