I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

Chu Yuce put down his hands covering his ears, and carefully touched Luo Bai's head. Luo Bai stood motionless and let him touch him, and even stuck out his tongue to lick his palm.

The place where his tongue touched was icy cold, making him shiver uncontrollably.

But Chu Yuce seemed to like him licking himself very much, and there was even a smile on his empty face, which made him not look so scary.

Luo Bai licked the back of his hand a few more times, until his tongue was numb from the ice, then he let out a cry, and pushed his head against his leg again.

Let's go, I'll take you away.

Luo Bai trotted forward, stopped again and turned around to wait for him. Seeing that Chu Yuce only looked at him without moving, he urged him twice again.

Come on, follow me, I will take you to my brother.

Chu Yuce was still standing under the tree, but he just kept looking at him. Luo Bai was anxious, so he turned around twice and moved his tail a little irritably.

However, when he looked at Chu Yuce again, he found that although his feet didn't move, he was a little closer to him.

Floating... Floating here?

Luo Bai didn't care how he came here, he only knew that he turned around twice, and Chu Yuce followed him, so he turned around twice in the same place, frantically flicking his tail.

He didn't care whether it looked like a dog, a tail danced in the air and left an afterimage.

Sure enough, Chu Yuce took a few steps closer to him in the next moment.

Luo Bai ran for a while in front of the palace gate, then fell down on the ground and rolled twice, turned his white belly, and used his four small paws to randomly plan in the air, looking at Chu Yuce while planing.

Very good, here we come.

He didn't meet anyone on the tree-lined path, so he just made some movements from time to time to lead Chu Yuce to the main road.

Two servants came towards him, Luo Bai was afraid that Chu Yuce would disappear in fright again, so he rushed back and rubbed comfortingly on his legs, then pushed him behind a tree next to him, and lay down beside him.

Chu Yuce's body was very stiff, and the tree was also a young tree, so it couldn't stop him at all.But the two servants didn't seem to see him, they just passed by and left without looking back.

Oh, by the way, only I can see ghost dolls.

With this understanding, Luo Bai became bolder. On the way to the gate of the palace, when he encountered servants and guards again, he only asked Chu Yuce to stand facing the wall, and he didn't panic if he didn't look at them.

At the gate of the palace, Luo Bai rushed out, but Chu Yuce didn't dare to come out, and just stood at a distance and looked outside.

Luo Bai hid at the corner of the palace wall, he had no choice but to rush to the gate of the palace, stood on his head against Chu Yuce who was inside, and walked a few steps on the ground with his two front paws.

A team of guards on duty saw a huge white cat suddenly jumping out from the side, walking upside down under their noses, and opened their mouths in surprise.

But before they took a closer look, the big white cat ran back quickly, turned around the palace wall and disappeared.

The guards looked at each other: "Did you just see it? I saw a cat standing on its head."

"I see, I thought I was dazzled."

"Maybe there's some sideshow troupe around here, and the cat escaped from it."

"Actually, I think it looks like a leopard, little leopard."

"Yes, I heard that there is a new leopard in the palace recently, many guards have seen it, maybe it is this one."

……

Luo Bai rushed to a place where the guards couldn't see, and leaned against the outer wall of the palace wall, panting with his tongue out.He didn't know that the story of him had already been spread in the palace, but he just felt that he would do everything possible to hide his whereabouts, and he would not expose his whereabouts unless he could.

Suddenly there was another person beside him, with his back against the outer wall like him, Luo Bai turned his head and saw that it was Chu Yuce.

"Cat cat..."

The street was bustling with people coming and going, Luo Bai knew that Chu Yuce was afraid, so he climbed up the fence of a residential house.This time he didn't do any strange movements to attract him, Chu Yuce disappeared in place, and appeared on the wall the next moment.

The autumn wind rolled up the yellow leaves all over the sky, and the little leopard shuttled among the fallen leaves, leaping nimbly on the continuous roofs, all the way towards the city gate.

He would look back from time to time in the middle of the journey to see if Chu Yuce was keeping up.

If not, immediately stand on your head and Chu Yuce will appear by your side soon.

After crossing the capital like this, and passing through the city gate, the little leopard galloped on the carriageway to Zhuangzi, and Chu Yuce followed behind him all the time.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, they ran another section of the mountain road. Luo Bai heard the sound of ringing bells and monks chanting, but Chu Yuce who was beside him suddenly stopped moving and just stood there looking at him.

Luo Bai stopped, trotted to Chu Yuce's side, touched his leg with his head, and let out a light grunt in his throat.

Come on, it's just ahead, your brother is waiting for you there.

Seeing the panic expression on Chu Yuce's face again, and backing away in small steps, Luo Bai immediately got into the bushes where he started hiding his clothes.After transforming back, he didn't dare to stay, and repeated Chu Yuce while putting on his clothes: "Don't disappear, don't disappear, I'll go ahead and let them all go, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I am here, and my brother is also here."

Chu Yuce looked at him intently, as if trying to identify who he was, but stepped back step by step.Luo Bai hastily fastened his clothes belt, put his hands on the ground and crawled two steps: "I am Maomao, I am the Maomao who was with you just now."

"Cat cat..."

"Yes, yes, cat."

Seeing that Chu Yuce finally stopped and retreated, Luo Bai pushed him into the bushes next to him and made him stand facing the mountain wall.

"You don't have to be afraid if you face the wall. It's like meeting someone in the palace. I'll come back as soon as I go. You wait here for me."

After walking two steps, he turned back and told: "Brother, you just stand here, don't run around."

There was a slight fluctuation in Chu Yuce's dull expression, and he murmured: "Brother...be obedient and don't run around."

After Luo Bai ran for a while to the valley where Chu Yuzhao was, he turned around and saw that Chu Yuce was still standing motionless facing the mountain wall, so he ran over with confidence.

In the valley, Bu Qingfeng was still practicing in front of the altar, with paper ashes scattered around him, frantically shaking the calling bell in his hand.Chu Yuzhao stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, neither urging nor impatient, but even so, Bu Qingfeng was sweating all over his face.

Hongsi walked forward and asked coldly, "Bu Qingfeng, are you playing some tricks again?"

Bu Qingfeng was in a hurry, stopped ringing the bell when he heard the words, and said angrily: "Let you go—"

With a clang, Hong Si pressed his thumb against the hilt of the sword he was holding in his arms, and a section of the sword came out of its sheath.

Bu Qingfeng immediately swallowed the cursing that was about to come out, and made it up nicely: "Come on, we're on the way, passing by the fruit shop of Li's family, attracted by the smell of the fruit, it's almost there."

Luo Bai turned around the foot of the mountain, and saw Chu Yuzhao's figure at a glance, standing under a big tree with his hands up and down.He hurried over and said excitedly, "Brother, I brought my younger brother."

Chu Yuzhao only thought for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant, and quickly reached out to grab his arm: "Did you bring Yu Ce?"

"Well, yes, I went to the palace to pick him up." Luo Bai nodded hastily.

Chu Yuzhao didn't bother to think about how he ran back and forth from here to the palace in this short period of time, and only held his arm tightly: "Where is he?"

"Hiss... You hurt my hand from scratching."

Chu Yuzhao let go of his hand again, Luo Bai rubbed his arm and said, "He is right next to him, but there are too many people here, so he dare not come over. As I said, he is very timid."

Chu Yuzhao turned around immediately: "Red Four."

"Subordinates are here."

"Send away everyone here, leaving only Bu Qingfeng."

"Yes."

Everyone withdrew quickly, together with the group of monks who were meditating and chanting scriptures, Chu Yuzhao asked Luo Bai again: "Where is he?"

Luo Bai took his hand and said, "I'll take you to see him."

Chu Yuzhao let Luo Bai lead him out of the valley, and walked forward along the mountain wall on the right.Luo Bai exhorted softly all the way: "You should keep your voice down later, don't scare him."

Chu Yuzhao hummed, Luo Bai felt that his palm was wet and cold, and couldn't help but glance at him strangely, but saw that his expression was as usual, not the slightest difference from usual.

As expected, Chu Yuce was still standing there, facing the mountain wall motionless, only a small figure was seen from a distance.

Luo Bai led Chu Yuzhao to stop behind him, and said softly, "Brother, our brother is here."

Chu Yuce still faced the mountain wall, Luo Bai said again: "Brother, you can turn around now."

Chu Yuce turned around slowly obediently, was obviously startled when he saw Chu Yuzhao, and moved to the side in panic.Luo Bai quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is our brother, don't be afraid, this is our brother."

Chu Yuzhao suddenly spoke, his voice was very soft: "Is he here?"

"Well, it's right here, right in front of you." Luo Bai said.

Chu Yuzhao's gaze passed through Chu Yuce's body and landed on the mountain wall in front of him, and he whispered in a hoarse voice: "Yuce."

Luo Bai saw that although Chu Yuce no longer dodged in fear, his face was still blank, as if he didn't know that Yuce was calling him.

Chu Yuzhao squatted down and stretched out his hand to the air in front of him: "Yuce, go with brother."

The hand with sharp joints was handed to Chu Yuce, but he didn't even look at it.

Chu Yuzhao stretched out his hand like this, Luo Bai looked at him and then at Chu Yuce, and said, "Are you going to take him to brother bald? I can take him there."

Chu Yuzhao was silent, and then retracted his hand after a while, stood up and walked back, with a somewhat lonely tone: "Then I will go first, so as not to scare him, you bring him here."

Luo Bai watched his back disappear around the corner, then approached Chu Yuce, and said cautiously: "I am brother Maomao, I am Maomao, brother, come with me."

"Maomao..." Chu Yuce would only have an obvious reaction to a cat.

Chu Yuce followed Luo Bai obediently and walked towards the valley ahead.After turning around the mountain wall, Luo Bai saw Chu Yuzhao and immediately looked over, his eyes quickly swept around him, and then lowered his eyes again.

Although Chu Yuce looked blank and kept looking straight ahead, his hand gently grabbed the corner of Luo Bai's robe.

Bu Qingfeng has already greeted him: "Is he here?"

Luo Bai looked at the child beside him: "Here we come."

Bu Qingfeng didn't talk nonsense, turned around and strode towards the altar, took out a stack of yellow paper and lit it on the incense candle, muttering something in his mouth.Then a strong wind suddenly blew up in the valley, blowing the soul-calling banners around him to the sound of hunting, and the soul-calling bell in his hand jingled without waiting to be shaken.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that there were countless people screaming and crying. The color of the sky and the earth suddenly changed, and the dark clouds overwhelmed the top, and everything was dim.

This time, let alone Chu Yuce, even Luo Bai panicked, frequently looking at Chu Yuzhao who was not far away.

If it wasn't for Chu Yuce who was still following him, he would have already escaped.

Chu Yuzhao kept his eyes down, but he also raised his eyes at this time. After meeting Luo Bai's eyes asking for help, he seemed to be startled, and then walked over.

As soon as he approached, Luo Bai grabbed his hand and tightly held one of his index fingers, and his heart immediately calmed down a lot.

Bu Qingfeng's monk robe was blown by the wind, like a sail that was stretched, he suddenly shouted, and raised the mahogany sword to the sky, after a flash of lightning, Luo Bai saw that the air in front of the altar began to twist, showing The water wave-like pattern gradually formed a rotating circle.

"The time has come! The gate of ghosts has opened!" Bu Qingfeng took back the mahogany sword, turned to face Luo Bai and said, "Chu Yuce, this is not a place for you to linger, go quickly to where you should go!"

Luo Bai lowered his head to look at Chu Yuce, and couldn't help but shiver. He saw that his pale and white face was covered with black blood vessels like spider webs, and he looked even more terrifying than usual.He seemed to be in pain, looking at the floating circular ghost gate, wanting to get closer, but holding on to Luo Bai's robe tightly.

Bu Qingfeng pointed the Taomu sword at the sky again, and Chu Yuce became even more terrified, so he simply hid behind Luo Bai and hugged his leg.

At this time, although the others couldn't see him, they could see Luo Bai's robe being pulled into various shapes, and they could probably guess two or three points.

"Stop, stop." Chu Yuzhao suddenly stopped Bu Qingfeng sharply, and then asked Luo Bai anxiously: "Can you make him show his figure?"

Luo Bai hesitated and said: "But he is very scared now, he hides and doesn't want to see you."

At this moment, Bu Qingfeng suddenly rushed forward, and stuck a piece of yellow paper behind Luo Bai, which just hit Chu Yuce's vest, and said at the same time: "Reveal!"

Luo Bai felt the person holding his leg stiffen behind him, and looked at Chu Yuzhao reflexively, but saw him staring directly at his back.

Chu Yuzhao took his hand out of Luo Bai's palm, walked slowly behind him, and squatted down.

Chu Yuce still hugged Luo Bai's leg, his whole face was buried in his clothes, he didn't know whether it was pain or fear, his body trembled violently.

Luo Bai really wanted to turn around to look, but was so hugged that he couldn't move, so he could only stand on the spot, listening to Chu Yuzhao calling softly: "Yu Ce, Yu Ce, I am my brother."

Chu Yuce didn't respond to his voice, Chu Yuzhao stretched out his hand to grab his shoulder, just as his hand touched, Chu Yuce suddenly turned his head without warning, opened his mouth to him, howled threateningly.

"Your Majesty." Bu Qingfeng was about to rush forward in shock, when Luo Bai turned around faster than him, pressed Chu Yuce's shoulder, and said repeatedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he won't Harm you, don't be afraid, he is an older brother."

Chu Yuce continued to howl fiercely at Chu Yuzhao, but was held down by Luo Bai, unable to rush forward, and could only wave his two hands with long nails.

Everyone could see that he was actually very scared, and he just used this behavior to prevent Chu Yuzhao from approaching him.

Chu Yuzhao's eyes turned red quickly after seeing his face clearly.He couldn't help stretching out his hand again, trembling, trying to caress Chu Yuce's face, but he grabbed it hard, and there were several bloodstains on the back of his hand.

"Yuc, Yuce, do you still hate your brother..." Chu Yuzhao took two steps back, with a look of helplessness and pain on his usually plain face.

Bu Qingfeng had already seen the clue, stepped forward and said to Chu Yuzhao: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince doesn't hate you, but he has lost his mind and doesn't know anyone."

"Out of mind?"

Bu Qingfeng took out a piece of yellow paper, bit his index finger and drew a pattern on it, pressed it on Chu Yuce's vest again, and said in his mouth: "The fourth prince's soul has been damaged, although it has been healed, it is still unclear , just use a heart-cleaning talisman."

Chu Yuzhao asked: "Then how does this spell affect him?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Pure Heart Talisman will not harm the fourth prince's soul at all."

When Chu Yuce stuck the charm to his vest, he suddenly stopped screaming and scratching as if he had been acupunctured.

Luo Bai was afraid that he would continue, so he didn't dare to let go of his arms around his shoulders, and he kept saying: "Brother, don't be so fierce, don't be so fierce, don't be so fierce, okay?"

Chu Yuce looked at Chu Yuzhao all the time, doubts gradually appeared in his eyes, he was no longer blank, but also had other emotions, as if he was looking at, remembering, and carefully identifying.

"Yuc." Chu Yuzhao stretched out his hand to him again.

Under the gaze of the three of them, Chu Yuce blinked, and spit out two words unsteadily: "Brother...Brother..."

Tears welled up in Chu Yuzhao's eyes, showing an expression of joy and sorrow, he stepped forward two steps and knelt down, holding Chu Yuce tightly in his arms.

"Brother...brother...brother, brother." Chu Yuce's two thin arms also wrapped around Chu Yuzhao's neck.

Chu Yuzhao buried his face on Chu Yuce's small shoulders, Luo Bai could only see his vest rising and falling, as if he was breathing heavily.

"Brother, I'm very obedient. I listened to you and didn't run around." Although Chu Yuce put on the Qingxin Talisman, he didn't seem to be particularly sober, and he still said what he said before his death.

But he was still young when he died, and maybe he didn't understand the meaning of death at all.

Chu Yuzhao's arms slowly tightened, and his hoarse voice trembled: "Brother knows, I understand, Yu Ce is good, it's my brother who is sorry for you."

The ghost gate in the distance rotated slowly, Bu Qingfeng stepped forward hesitantly, and reminded: "Your Majesty, the ghost gate won't be open for long, and if it delays, it might disappear."

Chu Yuzhao raised his head, and Luo Bai saw residual water marks in the corners of his eyes. He held Chu Yuce's face in his hands and asked, "It's my brother who hurt you, do you hate my brother?"

Chu Yuce shook his head, and replied clearly: "I don't hate my brother, I like my brother."

"Brother will send you to another place where you can see your mother, would you like to go?" Chu Yuzhao's voice was choked with sobs.

"What about brother?" Chu Yuce asked innocently.

"It will take some time for my brother to meet you." Chu Yuzhao ignored his still-looking face, and gently brushed the hair from his forehead, "You and the queen are waiting for brother, we will always Reunion."

"Well, Yu Ce listens to brother."

Chu Yuzhao closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened his eyes again, he hugged Chu Yuce in his arms and stood up. Luo Bai was surprised to find that the moment they got up, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, the valley and the altar disappeared, At this time, I was in a snow field.

Snowflakes are flying in the sky, and the farthest reaches of the eye are covered with a vast expanse of white, while the body is surrounded by countless branches of winter plums in full bloom, and the bright red spots are like red ink pens.

Actually came to a winter plum garden.

Bu Qingfeng explained in a low voice: "This is the scene that the deceased remembered most deeply during his lifetime, and he will carry this memory with him to his death."

Chu Yuce, who was held in Chu Yuzhao's arms, had lost his blue and white appearance, and became a little boy with pink makeup and jade decoration. He was dressed thickly, like a ball, like a living person.

Chu Yuzhao stepped forward on the snow, Chu Yuce swung his legs briskly, with one arm around Chu Yuzhao's neck and the other holding the wooden pony, talking non-stop in a childish voice.

"Brother, your footprints are so deep."

"Brother, are you cold?"

"Hahaha, brother, look at this tree is so funny..."

Chu Yuzhao lifted up his cloak to protect Chu Yuce from the wind and snow, then turned his head and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

A tear slid down the side of his face, dripped into the snow under his feet, and disappeared in an instant.

When he reached the gate of hell, Chu Yuzhao stopped. Chu Yuce looked at him sideways, and suddenly reached out to wipe off the water marks on his face, and said softly, "Brother, don't cry."

Chu Yuzhao pressed his forehead against him, and responded very lowly: "Brother, don't cry."

Chu Yu moved his body, signaling to get off the ground. After Chu Yuzhao put him down, he strode towards the ghost gate with two short legs, holding his wooden pony in his arms.

When he came to the revolving ghost gate, he was about to step in, but he turned around again, smiled sweetly at Chu Yuzhao, waved his hand and said, "Brother, I'm going to find the queen mother."

Chu Yuzhao was speechless, his eyes were red, his teeth were clenched tightly, his cheeks were trembling with force, but he also raised his hand and waved it.

Chu Yuce looked at Luo Bai in the distance again, put one hand around his mouth, and shouted loudly, "Maomao, I'm leaving."

"Hey, goodbye then." Luo Bai also danced and waved vigorously to him, enthusiastically said: "Come and play when you have time."

Bu Qingfeng on the side couldn't help but glance at him.

Saying goodbye to Chu Yuzhao and Luo Bai respectively, Chu Yuce didn't stay any longer, turned around and stepped into the ghost gate, the little figure disappeared behind the ghost gate immediately.

As he entered, the ghost gate suddenly disappeared from the sky, and the surrounding scene changed from the snowy forest to the original valley.It's just that the howling wind has subsided, and the sun broke through the drowsy clouds, casting golden rays of light from the gaps.

Luo Bai saw that Chu Yuzhao was still standing in front of him without moving, with his head lowered, so he went to stand by his side.

From Luo Bai's perspective, Chu Yuzhao's eyelashes are thick and covered with a halo of fine velvet by the sun. He put his arms around Chu Yuzhao's waist and said cautiously: "My brother has already left, brother , let's go home."

Chu Yuzhao raised his head after a while, with tears still on his face, he looked at the place where the ghost gate disappeared, and said as if talking to himself: "I am really a lonely person..."

The voice was full of deep loneliness and pain.

After finishing speaking, he gently took away Luo Bai's hand around his waist, turned around and strode out of the valley.
