After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

The 21st pavilion is not far away.

Ah Mui spat out another big mouthful of blood on the road, carrying more internal organs.

Lu Yingjiu goes to help her up.

She showed a pale smile and said, "Every time I tried to leave the village, it was like this. Before I could get out, I started coughing up blood until I passed out completely."

She coughed a few more times and covered her mouth with her hands, but she couldn't stop the blood gushing out.

She wiped it with a tissue, and the tissue was instantly stained red.

She said: "Maybe this is fate. I will never get out of this village. If I really faint... Can you carry me out if conditions permit?" She laughed at herself again, "If I turned into a spider, you might just take me out."

Lu Yingjiu said: "If I take you out by force, you may die directly."

"It's okay." Amei said, "It's okay."

So Lu Yingjiu nodded and agreed to her.

Facing the wind and rain, everyone's faces were covered with cold rain, and when they were so tired that their legs were almost trembling, they saw it on the top of the dark mountain.

It was so dilapidated that one of the pillars had completely collapsed, and the two corners of the pavilion had already rolled to which corners sprouted.

Judging from the map, walking down the mountain from here, you only need to walk two to three kilometers to reach the main road.It is the place closest to the main road in the whole mountain worship route, and the road down the mountain is relatively gentle and easy to walk, so it is their best choice.

Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief when Aaron suddenly heard an exclamation.

They looked over and saw that Aaron kept jumping up and down as if he had suffered a stroke, and kept patting his body.

A few seconds later, a black object fell from his trouser leg and was trampled to death by his foot.

When they took a closer look, it turned out to be a little spider!

You can't tell what kind of spider it is, and it is relatively harmless in terms of appearance alone.

But on the way to worship the mountain, they didn't see any living things except mosquitoes and a few birds, let alone spiders-of course it was a good sign.

Now the spider is making a comeback, and although there is only one spider, alarm bells are ringing in everyone's mind.

"You weren't bitten, were you?" Lu Yingjiu stepped forward quickly.

Aaron also hurriedly took off his pants.

His trousers were already tight, and after being soaked in rain, they stuck tightly to his skin. It took him a lot of effort to pull them up. Everyone came over and checked carefully, only to confirm that he was not bitten. They are all relieved.

"Hurry up and go down the mountain." Lu Yingjiu said.

He looked down the mountain road, and the flashlight passed by, only to see the vast darkness with no end in sight.

As long as you can stick to these two or three kilometers, you will win.

Everyone didn't dare to delay for half a second, and stepped forward one after another.

After walking down the road for 5 minutes, someone suddenly said, "Oh, why do I seem to hear a strange sound?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was terrified, and took a flashlight to illuminate the surroundings randomly, and the grass and trees were like soldiers.

In fact, Lu Yingjiu also noticed something unusual.

As soon as he left the route of worshiping the mountain, Yin Qi slowly began to gather.

The scope of this Yin Qi is very large, almost covering the entire mountain, swirling over their heads like a heavy cloud.

If the Spider Mother had been integrated with Wanming Mountain long ago, what awaited them would definitely be a storm-like attack.

Thanks to Zhang Nianyun's notes, they knew the method of "setting fire to the mountain".

Lu Yingjiu looked towards the middle of the line.

Ye Feng was still walking forward, without making a sound or falling behind.

It's just that his eyes were so slack that he was absent-minded at all.

Lu Yingjiu knew what Ye Feng was thinking.

He was thinking that all the missing and dead people in the entire village that had turned into spiders in the nursing home were all paid for by him alone.

They were still analyzing how deep Ye Deyong's feelings for Zhang Nianyun were, and it was worth him betraying the principles of a ghost exorcist and his morals to do such a thing.

Ye Feng said at the time that if he were Zhang Nianyun, he would not be resurrected at all.

In the end, in a sense, he was a prophecy.

In retrospect, Lu Yingjiu actually discovered the clue very early on.

First, Ye Feng's memory of things before the age of six is ​​very vague.

When they were in the nursing home, they found a group photo of worshiping the mountain in 99.Ye Feng obviously participated in it, but he didn't remember it at all.

The second is the ashes in the baby crocodile toy.

He was a little puzzled at the time.If it was really Zhang Nianyun's ashes, why were they placed in Ye Feng's toy?

Ye Deyong must know that Ye Feng likes the little crocodile the most, and he also knows how sad Ye Feng would be if it disappeared.

Even if Ye Deyong is holding on to the purpose of wanting Ye Feng to return to the village and discover the truth after many years, he should not hide the toys to hold the ashes.

But if those are Ye Feng's ashes...

Ye Deyong wanted Ye Feng to hug his favorite toy at the end.

Ye Feng was right.

Ye Deyong has a weird temper, but he really treats him like his own grandson.

After nearly 20 years, the past slowly unfolded in front of them with a stale taste.The old man couldn't say words to express his deep love, but his emotions were finally conveyed to Ye Feng in this twisted and crazy way.

Like an old wound.

They cautiously probed before, and finally tore off all the blood scabs at this moment.

The painful truth was revealed.

If it were any one person, I am afraid that they would not be able to deal with the current situation calmly.

It's incredible that Ye Feng didn't collapse on the spot, and could persist in walking with them.

But now that the situation is urgent, time does not allow Ye Feng to collapse, nor does Lu Yingjiu allow him to comfort him.

Lu Yingjiu walked to the middle of the team, patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, and said, "Get the talisman paper ready, if anything happens, just start burning the mountain."

Ye Feng nodded lightly.

A drop of rain rolled from his eyelashes and smashed him to pieces on the stone steps.

In this way, we walked forward for another 5 minutes.

After going down a steep slope, Lu Yingjiu suddenly turned her head and narrowed her eyes slightly——

The night was so dark that the light from the flashlight and talisman paper was almost swallowed by the rain, and the visibility was very low.But when the light swayed across the hillside, one could faintly see living creatures moving among the leaves and long grass.

He asked God at this moment, and his vision became extremely clear in the darkness.

He saw it clearly, the living creatures were clearly countless spiders!

After a whole day, they finally caught up.They surged, scrambling to rush towards everyone, like a terrible tsunami.

Lu Yingjiu shouted: "Ye Feng!"

Ye Feng turned his head and asked God at the same time!

I saw brilliant brilliance erupting from the rain curtain, and a long snake with raging flames appeared above the trees out of thin air.

It has a strong and strong body, more than ten meters long, but it is surprisingly flexible and light, and it swims more than 20 meters among the trees in an instant!

Originally, on a rainy day, even in the mountains, it was difficult to start a fire.But the power of ghosts and gods should not be underestimated. Wherever it passed, there was a raging fire.

The wave of spiders was instantly stopped.

Lu Yingjiu saw that countless spiders had no time to dodge the flames, their bodies curled up into a ball and quickly turned into charcoal.Yet more came flooding in.

He patted a person who was stunned in place: "Run!"

Only then did the crowd react, they didn't even have time to scream, and rushed down the mountain with their legs free!

The mountain road was pitch black, and Lu Yingjiu threw out more than a dozen talisman papers one after another.The talisman paper was bright and burned into a small fireball, floating in front of everyone to lead the way—it was all thanks to the talisman paper that they did not panic.

And Li Snake was cruising wantonly among the mountains.

Due to the threat of the flames, even if the Ye family asked God, they rarely let it wreak havoc so freely.This mountain forest has become its best venue, not to mention, it is very angry at the spiders.

In the blink of an eye, the flames shot up into the sky.

Lu Yingjiu followed the crowd, only to feel that the shadows were stretched longer and longer by the brilliance behind him, and the gust of wind was blowing hot towards them.

The flames burned through the night and burned a big hole in the sky.

Half the sky was red, and the rain dripped and mingled with the flames.

A few seconds later, they heard an eerie buzzing sound.

The sound resonated with the ground, and the mountain trembled like an earthquake.

At the beginning, everyone didn't know what the sound was, they could only feel fear instinctively.

It wasn't until the fire spread and the voice got louder that they could hear clearly:

It turned out to be a deep roar.

It sounds like a human voice, or the roar of a wild animal, mixed with the rustling sound of a spider crawling.

The mountain, or the incarnation of the Spider Mother, fell into a rage.

When the spiders heard the sound, they moved even faster.

They rushed towards the flame without fear of life and death, one group died, and the other group quickly climbed up, the layers of corpses piled up higher and higher, killing Li Snake with a strong yin energy.

After a certain moment, Ye Feng snorted.

Lu Yingjiu looked back.

Two big spiders actually hung on Li Snake's body.

The flames sizzled them, and they died soon, but before they died, the poisonous fangs had pierced Li Snake's body.

The ghosts and gods invited are closely related to the power and the person who invites the gods.

Ye Feng was already in a bad state, even if he tried his best to restrain his emotions, it must have affected Li Snake.

The situation is not good, and if this continues, there will always be spiders breaking through the defense line of the wildfire.

Lu Yingjiu looked forward, and he could already see the main road in the distance.

A car just drove by on that road, maybe because it saw the wildfire, it drove very fast.

And farther away is a small town. The eyesight of the Queen of God allowed him to see the people in the town clearly—they were all out, and many of them were still in their pajamas, talking worriedly in front of the raging wildfire. Just take out your mobile phone to take pictures and record videos, and some people keep calling the police.

Some people have already boarded the car and are going to seek refuge in the distance.

Either way, there is hope.

The spider mother's control range is only this mountain range, as long as she goes out, not to mention absolutely safe, it's almost the same.

At this moment, the mountain roared again! !

This time the whole mountain was trembling, everyone couldn't stand steadily, and fell several times at once.

Lu Yingjiu helped them up, and Jing Xian also came to help him, lifted them up with a light lift, and put them back on the ground.

After the roar, the spiders immediately went berserk.

They are stacked together to form a five or six meter high wave!

This time they broke through the flame defense line and rushed straight towards the crowd.

Someone let out a desperate whimper, his legs went limp, and he almost knelt on the ground.

Lu Yingjiu turned around.

The surrounding colors are full-bodied, like the texture of an oil painting. Every stroke is thick and colorful, deep and powerful, outlining everyone's panicked expressions, deep shadows and twisted tree trunks.

The soaring flames made his skin fairer, and the flames fell into those brown pupils.

He took a deep breath.

Then he went against the crowd towards the sea of ​​flames and the spider swarm.

The scene in front of him is like a picture scroll of hell, enough to make anyone flinch.He had no fear in his heart, and in fact, it wasn't the first time he had faced this situation alone.

He is always the one who takes risks and ends up.

He has survived to this day not because of luck, but because of enough strength and experience.

Mao Tuanzi groaned and ran around his feet in circles, flicking his tail frantically.

Lu Yingjiu drew out a dagger, the blade was as bright as moonlight——

Then he felt a heavy weight on his waist and his face turned cold.

Lu Yingjiu:?

Jing Xian stayed with him, while he was concentrating, he hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.

This behavior was so respectful, Lu Yingjiu was angry and funny, and was about to reprimand him when he heard the man whisper in his ear: "This is the entrance fee."

"What's the entrance fee?" Lu Yingjiu looked at him.

"I don't know what to call it." Jing Xian said with a smile, "Maybe it's a fire show?"

He wrapped his arms around Lu Yingjiu's waist with one hand, and snapped his fingers lightly with the other hand as he faced the spider that was about to pounce.

Those spiders stagnated.

The rain splashed down, onto the fire, and onto the spiders.

A gust of wind picked up and blew straight, Lu Yingjiu subconsciously half-closed her eyes.

Then, as if in slow motion, he saw every thin strand of rain in the wind, the swaying of every leaf on the tree, the scales of Li Snake rustling and spreading, and the flames gushing out from under the scales, burning and biting its body the spider...

In the next second, thousands of raindrops that fell to the ground rose into a sea of ​​flames!

The high fever came.This heat was much more frightening than Li Snake's, as if a small sun had exploded in front of him.Lu Yingjiu stretched out his hand to block it, but Jing Xian pressed him directly into his arms - by the way, he also scooped up the Maotuanzi very thoughtfully.

For a while, Lu Yingjiu was buried in his arms, only the sound of flame explosions could be heard endlessly, and the red radiance pierced into the sky.

Jing Xian actually ignited the rainwater.

he thinks.

No wonder he said something about a flame show...he even believed that it was a volcanic eruption.Every drop of raindrops falls, and the flames rise a little higher, just like the hell has really come, and the karmic fire burns forever, full of strange beauty.

The spiders were all gone in an instant.

Not even ash was left.

Li Snake was hissing and spitting out letters in the fire, Lu Yingjiu could tell from its expressionless snake face that it was full of bewilderment.

There are more spiders coming from farther away.

But at any rate there was enough time for them to reach the road safely.

Lu Yingjiu held Mao Tuanzi in one hand and Jing Xian in the other, and dragged his family to the main road.

Sure enough, the red clothes had already arrived on the main road first, followed by Aaron, Ye Feng, Xiao Li and Amei...

When Lu Yingjiu rushed over and set foot on the main road, the solid touch under her feet felt very at ease.

When he turned his head, one or two spiders managed to break through the flames, trying to follow them, but when they approached the main road, they stopped in their tracks.

They dare not go out of the range of Wanming Mountain.

They are finally safe.

The rain gradually subsided, and everyone was sitting and lying on the road, their faces blank.

After an unknown amount of time, the whistle of the convoy came, and the headlights pierced the darkness brightly.

Then one person suddenly laughed: "We, we escaped!!"

He raised his head and laughed loudly, his laughter echoed in the empty mountains until he was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

……

Five days later.

Yueshan Airport.

Lu Yingjiu sat at the table and gave him a love bento while eating.

The bento is as rich as ever, the tonkatsu is extra crispy, and with the fragrant curry, anyone can eat three bowls of rice at once.

While eating, he read the messages on his phone.

That was a message from Amei.

From the day she escaped from Wanming Mountain, she was arranged to be admitted to a hospital cooperated with the family for treatment.

After the spider mother was burned by the flames, her strength was greatly reduced. I don't know if it was for this reason that she escaped safely this time.

Amei said: 【The doctor told me today that the condition is not bad, and I can consider leaving the hospital after another half a month of observation.Afterwards, the Ye family will help me figure out a solution]

Lu Yingjiu replied to her: [Very good, you should pay attention to rest]

【okay, thank you.When I leave the hospital, I will definitely come to your door to thank you】

Taking advantage of Lu Yingjiu's reply to the message, Jing Xian sandwiched two large pieces of pork chops from his meal for Lu Yingjiu.

As soon as Lu Yingjiu put down his phone, he saw the two brand new pork chops, and said helplessly, "Why did you bring me food again, I can't finish it."

"You just need to eat more." Jing Xian said, "I always feel that you have lost weight recently, and it must be because you are too tired from climbing the mountain. If you want to go to the mountains in the future, I will charter a small private plane for you."

Lu Yingjiu has always been unable to speak against him, even if he took out his weight records for Jing Xian to analyze, Jing Xian would probably be able to open his eyes and talk nonsense, running the train with his mouth full, in short, the core idea is to eat more of his cooking.

Lu Yingjiu said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay." Then he returned one piece.

Jing Xian was very dissatisfied, saying that you should be careful of malnutrition and hypoglycemia.

Lu Yingjiu thought, I'm almost overnourished by you.

But thanks to Jing Xian, the problem of his irregular meals three times a day has been fundamentally eliminated.

When the meal was almost finished, a staff member in a white uniform came over, bent down and said to him, "Mr. Lu, the plane is almost ready."

"I'll be there right away." Lu Yingjiu said.

There were a few more messages on the phone, from other ghost exorcists.

They made such a big fuss in Yueshan Nursing Home this time, and even burned the mountain, basically everyone in the exorcist world knows about it.

As a result, his friends sent messages to greet him and inquire about the situation.

Lu Yingjiu replied briefly, and when he looked up again, the iron lunch box in front of him was gone.

He looked at Jing Xian.

Jing Xian was still sitting there, without any bag to hold the lunch box.

Lu Yingjiu asked, "Where's the lunch box?"

"I lost it." Jing Xian didn't blink his eyes.

"...Lost it?" Lu Yingjiu said, "How can you waste it like this, and I didn't see you get up."

Jing Xian stopped talking.

Lu Yingjiu felt something was wrong, looked down and saw Mao Tuanzi contentedly licking the corner of his mouth under the table.

Also burped.

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He knew where the lunch box was.

Five minutes later, the two of them stood in front of the helicopter.

The two ghost exorcists and the pilot of the helicopter are all members of the Ye family.

They were going to fly a helicopter and go to Wanming Mountain to see the situation again. This time they invited Lu Yingjiu to join them.

Lu Yingjiu boarded the helicopter and put on the huge anti-noise earmuffs.

There was a humming sound as the rotor rotated, and then the fuselage trembled slightly, throwing itself into the blue sky.

Along the way, Jing Xian looked out the window.

It's rare for Lu Yingjiu to see him behave like this.

After thinking about it, he understood that it should be that Jing Xian had never seen a human being at such a high altitude.

Lu Yingjiu also looked out the window.

The city passed by, gradually reaching the suburbs.

When we got near Wanming Mountain, there was a burning mess under our feet.

Li Snake's flame stopped burning when the Yin Qi was completely dissipated.The bare part of this mountain forest is still very large, but it is inevitable.

They flew over the carbon black land and bypassed several mountain peaks. Lu Yingjiu finally saw Yueshan Village and Yueshan Nursing Home again.

The fire did not spread here.

But there was no one in the village, only a dozen ghost exorcists walking in groups, investigating the situation, and confirming that all the spiders were dead by the way.

When the Spider Mother is burned to the ground, all the villagers die as spiders.In other words, they were not really alive at all.

Fortunately, Amei and Ye Feng are fine.

It's the luck of the misfortune.

The helicopter circled several times over the village.The exterior wall of the nursing home is still so white that it shines in the sun, and the buildings in the village are still harmoniously squeezed together. Lu Yingjiu can still see the mountains and lakes, the grassy slopes, and the farmhouse restaurant where they ate.

However, all of this is based on hypocritical illusions.

The rotor rotates, the fuselage is pulled up, and it flies to other peaks facing the sun.

The mountains in the distance are green, and the sea of ​​trees has sprouted new branches.

The young leaves are stretched in the blowing mountain wind.

Wait until next spring, they will keep their souls and secrets under the soil, and flourish again.

The next day, Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian returned to Lujiang City.

In fact, they have only been away for more than a week, but there are too many adventures along the way, and seeing the familiar city again seems like a lifetime away.

Lu Yingjiu was not in a hurry to go home to rest, but went to Ye Feng's house first.

Neither Ye Feng nor Lu Yingjiu mentioned the resurrection to anyone else.

In fact, if the two of them hadn't said it, no one would ever have known about it.

Ye Feng went back to Lujiang first, saying that he wanted to be quiet.

The Ye family could see that he was not in good condition, but they didn't know the real reason, so they just let his cousin live in his house and take care of him first.This made Lu Yingjiu feel a little more at ease.

However, he still wants to have a good talk with Ye Feng.

Jing Xian sent him downstairs to Ye Feng's house.

When Lu Yingjiu got off the car, she said, "Don't get in."

Jing Xian nodded.

Mao Tuanzi: "Aww! Aww!"

Just as Lu Yingjiu was about to close the door, she turned around and said, "Don't feed it carelessly."

Jing Xian: "Yeah, yeah."

Lu Yingjiu was deeply suspicious.

He went into the community, went up and rang the doorbell.

After a while, there was the sound of slightly dragging footsteps, and Ye Feng opened the door for him.

I haven't seen him for a few days, Ye Feng is quite haggard, his hair is messy, and there are thick dark circles under his eyes. It looks like he didn't sleep well at all.

Lu Yingjiu entered the room and sat on the sofa.

Ye Feng sat opposite him, rubbed his cheeks vigorously with his hands, and let out a long breath.

He said, "My cousin is out on errands."

"En." Lu Yingjiu nodded.

There was a moment of silence in the house.

After waiting for a while, Ye Feng said slowly: "In the past few days, I will start dreaming as soon as I fall asleep."

He smiled wryly, and continued: "Every time I dream, I dream about rainstorms and mudslides. I think I should slowly remember what happened."

Although the details are still very unclear, the plot of the dream is very clear.

He dreamed of lightning and thunder, of strong winds destroying trees, of those people's exclamations.

In the dream, he held the second grandfather tightly with his young hands.

Ye Deyong's hands were rough and strong.

Until the mudslide roared down from the top of the mountain.

Everything happened so suddenly that no one could react.

No matter how powerful your hands are, they can't resist the huge power of the disaster.No matter how powerful the ghost exorcists are, they are just ordinary flesh and blood. They are not ghosts and gods, they will get sick, get injured and grow old.

At that moment, their clasped hands parted.

Xiaoyefeng and the other three disappeared into the sand and stones in an instant.

After that, the picture is both true and false.

The torrential rain poured down, and Ye Feng saw Ye Deyong kneeling in front of the huge sandstone at the foot of the mountain, with blood on his hands and feet, hugging him and crying loudly.

And he closed his eyes tightly, unable to wake up again.

Ye Feng said: "I was thinking, if the real me has been burned to ashes, then what am I now? Is it a human or a ghost, or neither?"

No one could answer his question.

Even Lu Yingjiu didn't know what kind of existence this Ye Feng brought back by the Spider Mother was.

He can be very human-like, and can pretend to be flawless.

But perhaps under this skin, there are some deep-seated things that are still different.

Ye Feng smiled wryly: "I just thought it was a joke that I have been an exorcist for so many years. I was created by ghosts, and I am a monster."

Lu Yingjiu was silent.

Ye Feng said again: "I haven't told anyone in my family... I know the rules of the family. If I tell them, they will definitely not allow me to stay in the family, and it is impossible to continue to be a ghost exorcist. They might They will also regard me as a ghost who replaced the real 'Ye Feng'."

When the time comes, he doesn't know what is waiting for him.

Simply removing the name from the family tree may be the best result.

Lu Yingjiu asked: "Then are you going to speak out?"

"I... I didn't think about it." Ye Feng squeezed his fingers lightly, "I'm not ready to face everything." He smiled lightly, "If you report me now, tell me The truth, I will thank you. After all, I dare not do this."

"No," Lu Yingjiu shook her head, "I won't do that."

Ye Feng looked at him: "This is the right choice, you don't even know what I am."

"I really don't know," Lu Yingjiu said, "but I don't care."

He continued: "I knew you when I was 16 years old. No matter what you are, I have known 'you' from the beginning." He admitted frankly, "If you really think that you and the dead 'Ye Feng' are not I can't veto a person alone, but I don't care at all. A dead person is a dead person, and it is you who I have known for many years."

"If the real 'Ye Feng' stood in front of me at the same time as you, I'm afraid I would lean towards you too."

"And it's not your fault."

"You are the beneficiary, but the decision-making power is not in your hands, and you are not responsible for the dead and injured."

Ye Feng was stunned for a while.

Then he showed an extremely complicated smile: "Lu Yingjiu, Lu Yingjiu, I didn't expect you to be so unsteady. If you tell this, your reputation will be ruined."

Lu Yingjiu shrugged: "There's no such thing as a famous name in life, the rule is that the dead are alive, as long as I have no regrets in my heart."

He took a shallow sip of water, then looked at Ye Feng and said, "If we don't talk about this matter, no one will know about it."

"I won't take the initiative to speak out, so the choice is in your hands."

"If you don't want to be open and honest, tell the truth, and bear all possible consequences, but at least you have a clear conscience; otherwise, hide the truth, forget about it and live well, this should be what Ye Deyong wants to see the most after paying so much .”

"So, Ye Feng, are you going to tell the Ye family?"
