[Tanhua Modern] Blackening cannot always save the world

There was a burst of blood fragrance in the air, followed by coquettish red flowers scrambling to emerge from the ground, layer upon layer, and finally spread overwhelmingly, and large swaths of dizzying red bloomed in front of my eyes.

Lou Yi took a look to steady his steps, his pale face was in shock, and hesitantly stepped on the red flower.There was a soft and greasy feeling under the soles of his feet. The red flower decayed and dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into mud. The feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit him. With a clang, he stabbed Yan Cang into the ground, opened his eyes wide, Everything disappeared immediately.

He took a deep breath, his palm was covered with greasy sweat, it was so cool...

He frowned, pulled out Yan Cang and waved it casually, the tip of the gun drew a cold arc in the air, and he strode towards the house with big strides.

Hallucinations... He came out early tomorrow...

------

The water in the lake carried a strong yin energy, and strands of it penetrated through the cracks in the bones. Clothes and limbs became heavier and heavier, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more obvious.His ankle seemed to be pulled tightly by something, and his strength was exhausted bit by bit. Li Xun Huan opened his eyes in vain, and grabbed the empty space with his five fingers upwards. His consciousness gradually became blurred. Just when he was almost powerless to hold on. , There was a sudden crash in the ear.

The water around him was surging, and the faint uneasiness became more and more obvious. Every molecule seemed to become impatient and began to rampage. The cold lake water began to heat up, almost boiling.

He was almost like an old tree being ripped out of the mud by its roots. The first breath of clear air rushed into his lung cavity, and he coughed violently.The moment Lou Yi's pale and stern face came into view, he was still a little dazed, he fell into a warm embrace in a daze, and put on thick and dry clothes, Li Xun Huan coughed and gradually recovered.Seeing the terrified expressions and hesitant steps of the people around him, Li Xun Huan turned his head slightly and saw three ghosts strung on Yan Cang's body twitching like grasshoppers.

He took a half step back and saw Lou Yi, his expression was very cold, his eyes were calm, except for his pale face and wet clothes, he would hardly think that this man was the one who just fished him out of the lake .He smiled tiredly, but Lou Yi didn't respond, Li Xunhuan's heart skipped a beat, realizing that Lou Yi was in a bad mood right now, he wisely kept silent.

Lou Yi staggered Li Xun Huan's gaze, turned his head to look at the three ghosts who were whimpering and making unknown noises on the ground, coldly raised the corners of his mouth, let Li Xun Huan go and walked over.

"Where is Tang Xiying?"

He was answered by an increasingly shrill howl.

He squinted his eyes, held Yan Cang and twisted it fiercely, the gun head turned 360 degrees in their bodies, and suddenly, the crying and howling of the three ghosts resounded for miles around.

"Where is Tang Xiying?" Lou Yi asked again, his voice much colder.

Li Xunhuan gathered the clothes on his body, frowned slightly, watched Lou Yi step on the girl's hand, and began to crush the little finger little by little, the sound of bone cracking was creepy, the girl opened her mouth and let out a hoarse sound With a shrill voice, there was still no answer Lou Yi wanted.

"An Zhi! They can't talk." Li Xun Huan shouted.

That's how it turned out, Lou Yi turned his head to glance at him lightly, then turned his head and pulled out Yan Cang with a snort, realizing what he was going to do, Li Xun Huan scolded:

"and many more!"

With a clang sound, Yan Cang was blocked, and Lou Yi turned his head to look at the person coming.

"I know where Tang Xiying is." A Fei recalled the thrown long sword with a cold face, staring at Lou Yi without blinking.He said a long time ago that a soul should not be annihilated easily. In addition to practicing ghosts, it is a felony to destroy a soul anywhere in the world. Lou Yi just wanted to do something.

"Oh?" Lou Yi replied casually, as if he had no interest.

Ah Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, something was wrong...... He said in a deep voice:

"Their family needs to go down for trial before deciding where to go, let alone this girl..."

"Where is Tang Xiying?" Lou Yi interrupted him lightly.

Ah Fei frowned, ignored his question and continued:

"The girl has nothing to do with the family."

Lou Yi glanced at him, scoffed and didn't speak.

Li Xun Huan pursed his lips, suppressed the subtle uneasiness in his heart, and looked at A Fei to ask.

Ah Fei exhaled, shook his head and said:

"The Tang family has been looking for a woman named Lanhua, and they knew it when they saw her. Now it's a long story, let's send these people out first."

"Yes, yes, yes...I, let's go out first..." A young woman in the crowd trembled, looking at the people around her for support.It was just that she met Shanglou Yi's indifferent eyes coldly, her whole body trembled, the words she wanted to say were all dumbfounded in her throat, she took two steps back tremblingly, and did not utter a word.

Li Xun Huan stepped forward to hold Lou Yi's hand, met his eyes, and frowned tightly, Lou Yi staggered his eyes, and the breath on his body softened a bit.

------

A group of people split into two groups and walked around Lou Yi towards the door. Lou Yi walked slowly around the house with the three unconscious ghosts.

"An Zhi..." Li Xun Huan's voice was slightly hoarse, and he thought for a while to break the silence.

Lou Yi didn't look at him, but said:

"Is it inevitable that you are dragged into the lake?"

Li Xun Huan was speechless for a moment, of course it wasn't... He had a thousand ways to keep those three things out of his reach, but...

"It happened suddenly..."

"I know, it's to save people."

Li Xun Huan was silent, feeling sore in his heart, he silently gathered the clothes on his body, but he couldn't feel any warmth.

As soon as Lou Yi finished speaking, they stood still and stopped in front of a big tripod.

Everyone looked at the huge cauldron in front of them with uneasy expressions, Lou Yi paused and kicked the cauldron upside down, there was a muffled thunder on the ground, and a mass of dark red glue that looked like glue rolled out of the cauldron's mouth.

Ah Fei glanced at him, strode forward, and looked at this thing intently... What is this?Doubt crawled into his eyes, and he remained silent.

"Runni." Lou Yi said coldly.

Ah Fei was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at him, not understanding what he meant.

Lou Yi frowned impatiently:

"The soil for refining the ghost way, the smell is so stinky, do you get so close that you don't panic?"

A Fei and Li Xun Huan looked at each other, but they didn't smell anything.

"How did the mud appear in Yangjian?"

"You won't take it down and ask your boss, isn't this something he should care about?"

Ah Fei just asked casually, and he took out a black towel to wrap up the mud.

"So, this is the material they use to make ghost slaves?" Li Xunhuan murmured, taking a piece of soil, what is the reason...

"One side of the water and soil nourishes the other's foundation. There is no water in refining the ghost way. This is formed by the mixing of blood and soil over the years. To a certain extent, it is the foundation of refining the ghost way."

The only one who understands the situation is Lou Yi, so naturally he does whatever he says.The Tang family actually has something to refine the way of ghosts, Ah Fei's heart sank, and the forces behind his family...

"The woman named Lan Hua, we found it." With the heater on in the car, Li Xun Huan and Lou Yi changed their wet clothes, and sat down with Lou Ming Luo and A Fei who were waiting in the car for sleep.

Lou Yi glanced at him, waiting for the next sentence.

"Thanks to Yuanqing..." When he said this, he looked at Lou Yi with a strange expression, seeing his inexplicable expression, he coughed and continued:

"Yuanqing copied the Tang family's lair and learned that Tang Xiying had been looking for Lanhua, so they found him first." A Fei paused, frowned and said:

"Orchids are not orchids..."

In the blink of an eye, Li Xunhuan suddenly remembered something strange, the girl's face...

"She is actually... Guoguo?" Guoguo, the one who escaped was actually the youngest daughter of the family, so the ghosts wandering in the house...

Li Xun Huan suddenly lost his voice, his throat was a little dry.

"I, Lanhua, Guoguo....... We are best friends, we all agreed to die together and never let anyone alone......" The little girl smiled With tears, crying and laughing while talking about childish thoughts in childhood.

"Maybe it's the meaning of the elders. That girl came to look for Guoguo that day, but her parents forcibly detained her. Maybe they also realized that the time is coming, and they can't bear to cut off their children and grandchildren..."

Lanhua told them a story, a tragedy that had nothing to do with beauty, and even meanness and viciousness.

They are inseparable, best friends, more sisters without blood.The two girls always knew that Guoguo was having a bad time at home, so they always racked their brains to ask Guoguo out from time to time, so that they could temporarily escape from that cold place.When Guoguo is with them, she will look like a child of this age, but she also knows that her appearance at home must not be revealed in front of outsiders.

It’s just that everything was finally broken one day. Orchid was the former Guoguo. She described with a dull face that she didn’t know what happened that day. Her friend climbed up the wall of her house and wanted to pull her out quietly. , Another friend made an appointment to wait for them at the bridge.

But a person came, and a person left.

Guoguo didn't go to Qiaotou. She followed her parents' wishes and dropped the name. From now on, she will be called Lanhua.She has survived, but she has been wandering all her life. She has done all kinds of dirty and hard work. Life has broken her to such a rough and unbelievable level. She thought that she would rot and stink in that dirty alley until the end of her life. But what was hidden in her heart would still torment her even if her body was reduced to ashes.

The Tang family... When she heard the word again from that beautiful and inconceivable woman, the resentment that she thought had been turned into ashes a long time ago ignited again in her heart.

"Can you kill them?" For the first time in ten years, there was a light in her cloudy eyes, although it was not so good-looking.

"Of course." The woman's tone was so natural, with a confidence and arrogance she had never seen before.

Lanhua laughed, the low-quality coarse powder fell down her face, and the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth piled up. Her bright red nails clasped the black wooden chair, recalling bit by bit her unbearable childhood and the friends she betrayed.

------

"So, that female ghost is actually..." innocent.Li Xun Huan's fingertips trembled as he pinched into his palm.

"It's been ten years, and she has turned into a ghost. There's so much blood on her hands, how could she be innocent."

"But that's after all..." Lou Yi patted the back of his hand, Li Xun Huan looked at him with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Cause and effect have their own way. We can't say it's fair, but we can only say it's reasonable." A Fei said lightly.

Justice does not exist, it is just reasonable to satisfy many people.

"You said you knew where Tang Xiying was." Lou Yi changed the subject, and stared at A Fei with burning eyes.

"The ghosts of this family are the clues. We have our own way to know. If you keep killing them, there will be nothing left."

"But you know that if I really want to know where he is, it's actually very easy." Lou Yi chuckled.

A Fei was silent for a moment, and said:

"You still remember what I told you not to kill a living person?"

Lou Yi nodded.

"That's good." He stood up and bid farewell to Li Xunhuan. Li Xunhuan noticed some strange emotions in his eyes. What's going on......

Until late at night, Luo Luo was already sound asleep, but Lou Yi didn't intend to fall asleep at all.

Li Xun Huan quietly closed the door, put on some clothes, walked to the sofa in the front compartment and sat opposite Lou Yi.

"You promised me before that you would never let anything happen to you." Lou Yi didn't look at him, he looked out of the window at some point, and his tone was light and airy.

Sure enough... Li Xun Huan pursed his lips in embarrassment, pondered for a while and said:

"I'm very sorry......"

Lou Yi finally looked at him, with a thin smile in his eyes:

"Have the courage to admit your mistakes, and never repent?"

Li Xun Huan choked, actually he didn't think there was anything wrong with him, he sighed wearily:

"Are you telling me to wait until death?" He estimated that he would not be able to learn it in a few lifetimes.

"Will that person really die? One hundred percent?" Lou Yi's eyes began to look aggressive.

"If I don't make a move, most likely there will be casualties." Li Xun Huan's voice also cooled down.

"Ah... yes, you are always soft-hearted, you don't want to see others suffer..." Lou Yi sneered.

"An Zhi!" Li Xun Huan was a little anxious, Lou Yi's tone was too weird.He took a deep breath, looked at him fixedly, and said in a low voice:

"Sorry, there won't be a next time."

Lou Yi looked at him for a while, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and he leaned forward:

"I do not believe."

Li Xun Huan suffocated suddenly, his mouth began to dry up again.

"You can do it, actually..." Lou Yi pressed his lips against his ear, and his soft voice slipped into his ear.Li Xun Huan was at a loss... what can he do?

The next moment his mind was blank, only the blood in front of his eyes was left, he opened his mouth suddenly and almost lost his voice, but was covered by Lou Yi, he widened his eyes and looked at the shiny silver knife that pierced Lou Yi's palm, as if it could Melt it down.

The expression on Lou Yi's face at this time can even be said to be gentle, he let go of the hand covering Li Xun Huan, hissed to remind him not to wake Luo Luo, then put that hand on the handle of the knife, slowly but firmly The crushing spins up.

The sound of the blade chewing his flesh and bones made his teeth sore, Lou Yi glanced at him, he couldn't move, his teeth were shaking, he watched Lou Yi pull out the knife, and crawled inch by inch from his wrist to his forearm, the tip of the knife Submerged cut open the flesh and blood.

When he came back to his senses, he pressed his hand on Lou Yi's uninjured hand, panting heavily, and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"What are you doing!"

Lou Yi glanced at him lightly, his pale face was almost transparent under the moonlight, and the cold sweat on his forehead was in contrast to his expressionless face.

"What are you afraid of, anyway, it will be fine in a while." It seems that it is not my own hand.

Li Xunhuan just looked at him in a daze.

"I'm just telling you that you can do it...you can do it by watching others get hurt and bleeding." Lou Yi raised his lips, the night was dark and eerie.

Tears finally fell from his eyes, and he held his hand so tightly that skin to skin almost melted into one.
