He hasn't been a sister-in-law for many years

Lu Xingzhou picked up Huang Taiji and put it in his coat, and hurried out with Shi Yinyu.

On a snowy night, the Demon King's Palace is quiet and gloomy. A lonely night owl stands on the top of a tree, watching their figures galloping through the snow vigilantly.

Huang Taiji poked his head out from Lu Xingzhou's chest, kept turning his sensitive nose, and called, "Ahead, turn left, oops, you're running the wrong way, the other side!"

"Then the fuck is right!!!" Lu Xingzhou cursed.

"Right... right? That's a right turn!"

"You indistinguishable trash!"

"Oh, don't be wordy, it's urgent, don't beep beep such nonsense!"

Lu Xingzhou wanted to punch him.

"Just ahead!" Huang Taiji stretched out his paw and pointed to an alley ahead.

Lu Xingzhou fixed his eyes on the alley. It was covered with heavy snow. It looked no different from other places, but there was an inexplicable strange feeling.

Shi Yinyu: "Formation."

Lu Xingzhou had a big head: "The only thing I haven't learned well in my life is formation."

"The only one?" Huang Taiji was surprised, "Would you know how to have a baby?"

"..." Lu Xingzhou pulled him out of his arms, grabbed the back of his neck and brought him to his face, smiling: "Believe it or not, let me help you feel the pain level of childbirth?"

Huang Taiji was suddenly pinched by the back of the neck, and immediately stopped moving, with a cute face.

"Little boy, I still can't cure you?" Lu Xingzhou stuffed him back into his coat.

The formation method is actually to create visual illusions for people through some exquisite layouts. People who are proficient in this way can find out the method of layout to break the formation. It was all white, and there was no problem at all.

The two of them didn't get entangled here, and stepped directly into the alley, so what about the formation?There is no unexpected event in this world that both of them can't stand.

Stepping into the alley, the wind suddenly stopped, and the sound of falling snowflakes became clear and eerie.

Lu Xingzhou's bone whip slipped quietly into his palm.

The deep alley has nine turns and eighteen turns, quiet and narrow, with a thick layer of snow on the vermilion palace walls on both sides.

The two walked forward slowly, leaving a series of footprints in the snow.

After walking for a while, Lu Xingzhou sensed something in his heart. Looking back, he saw a vague figure looking at them from the far end of the alley behind him.

Under the cold night sky, there was no wind, the blizzard fell vertically, covering the sight, and he couldn't see the shadow clearly, but Lu Xingzhou's heart sank quietly—behind the dense snowflakes, the shadow seemed to have a thick and long snake tail.

Lu Xingzhou whispered: "Did you see that..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly became alert, turned his head suddenly, and saw that Shi Yinyu seemed to have seen something unusual, and was walking in the opposite direction, striding into the snow curtain.

"Ayu!" Lu Xingzhou shouted.

Shi Yinyu didn't hear it, so he quickened his pace and disappeared behind the snowflakes in an instant.

Lu Xingzhou frowned, subconsciously looked back at the end of the alley, and found that the snake shadow had disappeared. He turned his head and chased in the direction where Shi Yinyu disappeared.

After chasing for dozens of steps, a courtyard appeared in the snow curtain, Shi Yinyu was standing in front of the door, looking up at the beautiful carved gatehouse, when he heard his footsteps, he said with a smile: "Xingzhou, this place looks familiar. "

Doesn't it look familiar?

This small gatehouse is exactly the same as their den of thieves in Sixth Heaven City.

The mountain department is in charge of logistics, and is the wealthiest of the four departments. The mansion of the chieftain covers an area of ​​more than 6 square meters. There is a brick carving on the lintel, engraved with "a match made in heaven" and decorated with bats and butterflies on both sides. Carved, dignified but not rich.

"Interesting." Shi Yinyu pushed open the door with black rivets.

A bright courtyard appeared in front of him.

The mansion of the leader of Yamabe is famous for having many small courtyards and large houses. The former leader was so extravagant that he built many small courtyards to accommodate his many wives and concubines. After Shi Yinyu succeeded, he dismissed his wives and concubines. To the brothers of the direct line.

There was boisterous laughter from a room ahead.

The two walked to the corridor, looked through the window, and saw that the room was full of alcohol, and a dozen monsters were drinking inside.

"Brother!" A young man turned his head and shouted to the window, "Are you guys outside?"

Shi Yinyu was startled, and said with a smile, "It's us."

With a creak, the door opened, and the heat wave rushed out from the door. The young man showed his head and smiled brightly: "Come in quickly, we went hunting yesterday and harvested a lot of prey."

Shi Yinyu: "Is there anything rare?"

Youth: "There is a roe deer, I keep it for my elder brother."

As he said that, the young man asked his servants to fetch the roe deer. It was a fat little roe deer, which had been dead for a long time and was frozen hard in the snow.

"Aji, did you see that?" Lu Xingzhou patted Huang Taiji's head and said with a smile, "It's easy to be hunted if you eat too fat..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression froze, he looked down, and found that there was no shadow of Huang Taiji on his chest, and his body was not the clothes he wore when he went out, but a fur coat with exquisite workmanship, warm and light .

Lu Xingzhou raised his head and looked at Shi Yinyu, the smile on his face gradually faded.

I saw that Shi Yinyu was wearing a dark blue military uniform with a heavy windbreaker on the outside.

——This is the standard for the leaders of the Sixth Heavenly City.

Shi Yinyu was instructing his younger brother to wrap the deer in white grass, noticed Lu Xingzhou's expression, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xingzhou looked at him blankly: "Your clothes..."

Shi Yinyu: "Oh, I went to the devil's side for a meeting just now, and I haven't had time to change my clothes yet."

Lu Xingzhou opened his mouth and his voice disappeared.

"Why, don't I look good in this dress?" Shi Yinyu straightened his back and posed a few poses.

The younger brothers applauded one after another: "Brother is so handsome!!!"

"What's the matter with you, go away, I just want Xingzhou to say it looks good." Shi Yinyu looked at Lu Xingzhou expectantly.

Lu Xingzhou looked at his graceful figure, and smiled stiffly: "It looks good."

Shi Yinyu burst into a smile, and laughed contentedly, picked up the roe deer wrapped in white grass, and brought it to Lu Xingzhou: "For you."

In the wild there are dead prows, covered with coriander...

Old love poems.

Lu Xingzhou stared at the thing in his hand, his throat tightened, this scene happened in his memory - ten years ago, in Sixth Heaven City, on a snowy day, Shi Yinyu picked up a deer outside the city, wrapped it in white grass , give it to yourself.

Lu Xingzhou's eyes moved up and stayed on Shi Yinyu's face, trying to see what he was thinking from the expression.

They must be in an illusion at this time.

The surrounding courtyards, gatehouses, younger brothers... are all illusions.

And what about Shi Yinyu?

Is the person in front of me wearing the military uniform of that year still the little monster who stepped into the deep alley with him just now?

If so, is he out of his mind to repeat what he did back then?

If not, what about the real Shi Yinyu?When did he disappear?

There was nothing delicious about roe deer, and Shi Yinyu knew that Lu Xingzhou didn't like wild game, so he asked his men to cook a pot of wild mushroom soup.

Lu Xingzhou was pulled to the table to sit down, looking at the steaming dishes in front of him.

The younger brother poured wine for the two of them, and said with a narrow smile: "Brother, the blood of the roe is mixed in the wine, the stronger one, it will be energetic at night..."

"Fuck you." Shi Yinyu scolded with a smile, picked up the wine glass and smelled it, and invited Lu Xingzhou to say, "It smells a bit fishy, ​​but the wine is good wine, try it."

Lu Xingzhou stared at the wine glass in front of him.

Shi Yinyu was surprised: "What's wrong?

"It's nothing." Lu Xingzhou smiled, picked up the glass and made a gesture of toasting, and drank it down.

Shi Yinyu raised his face and drank it down, put down his glass, and said with a smile: "As expected of a century-old wine, it covers up the bloody smell."

As he said that, he noticed the untouched liquid in Lu Xingzhou's cup, and was surprised: "Why don't you drink it?"

Lu Xingzhou suddenly reached out and touched his face.

Shi Yinyu sat without moving.

Lu Xingzhou touched his warm skin and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

——Such a real touch...

Shi Yinyu: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xingzhou: "Didn't you quit drinking?"

Shi Yinyu was stunned: "Quit alcohol? Why? Alcohol is a good thing. Every time I think of you, I rely on alcohol to distract me. How can I quit?"

He is not the real Shi Yinyu.

Lu Xingzhou's bone whip had already slipped to his fingertips, but he couldn't lift it up. He stared at Shi Yinyu's face, knowing that it was a fake, but he still couldn't attack him.

The atmosphere around is so cozy.

It was snowing heavily outside the window, and the room was as warm as spring. The two sat opposite each other at the table, and the aroma of food and fine wine wafted in the air.

This is what makes people nostalgic for the fireworks in the world.

Withdrawing the bone whip, Lu Xingzhou picked up the wine glass and drank it with his face up. The mellow and hot spirit mixed with the smell of roe roe blood flowed all the way down his throat, as if he had poured a mouthful of fire, making his eyes red.

There was a sudden flash outside the window, and then a redness came into view.

Lu Xingzhou turned his head and saw a ball of fireworks blooming in the snow curtain in the distance, which disappeared instantly, and then another ball bloomed again.

The door of the room was pushed open, and a younger brother ran in with a lantern and smiled, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, brother, there will be a lantern festival on Changle Street tonight. I heard that even Lord Demon Master will go to appreciate the lanterns. Don't you go?"

Shi Yinyu laughed: "Okay."

He stood up, took the lantern from his younger brother and handed it to Lu Xingzhou, held up an umbrella, and dragged Lu Xingzhou to Changle Street.

It was a strange long street.

The towering restaurants on both sides are decorated with lights and festoons, and there are huge floats sliding slowly in the middle of the road full of tourists. The lights and shadows on the floats are flickering, and the falling snowflakes reflect the bright light.

Even though it was snowing heavily, the monsters all over the street were still happily playing. Many people wore hideous demon masks on their faces, and there was an indescribable sense of weirdness under the radiance of the lights.

Lu Xingzhou walked with a lantern in his hand, and the deepest memories in his heart came to his mind—the Lantern Festival, the heavy snow, the lanterns, Shi Yinyu and himself swim hand in hand.

Fearing that Lu Xingzhou would be hit by pedestrians, Shi Yinyu held an umbrella with one hand and hugged his shoulder with the other. With a smile on his face, he raised his head from time to time, looked at the lanterns next to him, and asked Lu Xingzhou to guess lantern riddles together.

"Dan Xin reaches white head at one point," Shi Yinyu pointed to a lantern riddle, "Xing Zhou, guess what this is?"

Lu Xingzhou stared at him blankly.

Shi Yinyu: "See what I do? Look at the lights."

Lu Xingzhou moved his throat and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"Haha," Shi Yinyu laughed loudly, flicked his finger on the tip of his nose, and laughed in a low voice, "It's a 'boat' boat, fool."

Lu Xingzhou pulled out a stiff chuckle.

——If he remembers correctly, after the next lantern riddle, Shi Yinyu will make a formal courtship.

"What about this one?" Shi Yinyu pulled him to turn to another lantern, "Bai Shou Concentric Determination of Three Lives, guess what word is this?"

Lu Xingzhou pursed his lips tightly.

"It's the stone of 'Shi Yinyu'." Shi Yinyu said, looking into his eyes with a smile, "How can Xing Zhou not be able to guess such a simple lantern riddle? Could it be...you can not only guess it, Can you guess what I'm going to do next?"

Lu Xingzhou looked at him with complicated eyes.

There was a lot of voices on the street illuminated by the sky, Shi Yinyu and Lu Xingzhou met each other's eyes, quietly lowered their bodies, and knelt down in front of him on one knee.

The umbrella fell to the side, and snowflakes fell from the top of the two of them.

"One point of Danxin to the white head, the white head will be the same as the three lives." Shi Yinyu's voice was unsteady, and he tried his best to control the violently trembling emotions. He raised his face and looked at him devoutly, "Xing Zhou, I love you with all my heart, I want to dedicate myself—from the devil heart to the body—to you, are you willing to accept it?"

Even though it was not the first time he heard it, even though he knew it was in an illusion, Lu Xingzhou's heart still beat wildly.

This marriage proposal vow has been deeply engraved on his lifeline, even if he heard it a hundred times, it would still make his heart beat wildly for the hundredth time.

Lu Xingzhou's fingers trembled slightly in his sleeves, and the sharp tip of the bone whip pierced his palm. He held the bone whip tightly, knowing that once he whipped it down, he would be able to dispel the illusion in front of him and break out of the illusion.

But he couldn't smoke.

The memory was so good, the little monster in front of him was the only bright light in his long life, which made him obsessed, nostalgic, and unable to extricate himself.

Suddenly a yellow shadow flashed in front of his eyes, Lu Xingzhou was severely scratched on the chin, gasped for air in pain, and subconsciously swung the bone whip.

When the bone whip was shot, Lu Xingzhou's heart trembled heavily, and he exclaimed, "Ah Yu!!!"

But he didn't stop.

Shi Yinyu was still kneeling on the spot, looking up at himself, seeing the moment the bone whip fell, a heartbroken expression appeared on his pious and expectant face.

Lu Xingzhou bit his lower lip hard, and closed his eyes abruptly.

The bone whip was empty.

When the eyes darkened, the noise in the ears disappeared, and the sound of falling snow became clear.

Lu Xingzhou panted and opened his eyes, and found himself standing in the snow covered in sweat, the thick snow had already buried his calves, and beside him was the quiet and narrow alley.

Huang Taiji grabbed the front of his coat with two paws, hung it on his body, looked up at himself: "Are you awake?"

Lu Xingzhou let out a deep breath, turned his head and looked at the empty snow field beside him, the sweat on his back made his whole body icy cold, he moved his stiff body, and asked, "Where's Ah Yu?"

"I haven't found it yet." Huang Taiji said, "If I can find you, it's because God has opened his eyes. Let's just say that this place is scary."

Lu Xingzhou picked him up and put him in his arms to keep warm: "Are you not in an illusion?"

Huang Taiji: "I got hit, but I got out."

"Ok?"

Huang Taiji: "It's like a dream. I dreamed that my parents were celebrating my birthday. It was a big cake. It was so fucking delicious. As soon as I tasted it, I knew it wasn't made by my mother. Then came out of the illusion."

Lu Xingzhou: "..."

Huang Taiji curled up in his arms, muttering softly: "I miss my mother..."

"Everything will be fine." Lu Xingzhou patted him on the head, "It seems that this illusion will immerse people in happiness."

Huang Taiji: "Is it Lei Feng's illusion?"

"...Good name." Lu Xingzhou praised, and said lightly, "Indulging in happiness is not necessarily a good thing, it will make people corrupted and lose their fighting spirit, so that they actively stay in the illusion and never want to come out."

"Brother Azang and Uncle Shi have taken the initiative to stay inside and not come out?" Huang Taiji asked, "What did you see in the illusion?"

Lu Xingzhou: "I saw that your Uncle Shi cooked a large table of dishes."

"Wow!" Huang Taiji salivated, "I understand why you came out earlier than me, what did Uncle Shi do?"

"Listen," Lu Xingzhou snapped his fingers, "There are steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail..."

Huang Taiji was angry: "You think I have never heard of cross talk? It's too much!!!"

Lu Xingzhou smiled, took out a piece of talisman paper, and was about to try to find Shi Yinyu's whereabouts.

There was a sound of unhurried footsteps ahead, Lu Xingzhou raised his eyes and saw Shi Yinyu strolling through the snow curtain.
