The hand that catches the ghost trembles slightly

The two ever-burning lamps represent the last two lives of the Zhu family—Zhu Junyang and Zhu Menglong.

Today, more than 50 years ago, was the day when the Zhu family was destroyed.

The previous head of the Zhu family was their father.

The God of Suzaku suddenly fell, and the old patriarch predicted that there would be a catastrophe in the Zhu family, and wanted to use all the power of the whole family to keep the eldest daughter who had fused the power of Suzaku.It was before that that Zhu Menglong rebelled and was expelled from the Zhu family, so he survived the disaster.

That was a scene that Zhu Junyang would never forget in her life. Occasionally, she would still struggle in her dreams, for those relatives who stretched out their hands to her covered in flames, but were unable to let go.

She knelt in front of the ever-burning lamp, slammed down a song, and said, "Father, Mother, we're here to see you two again."

Today is the memorial day, the two siblings who disliked each other did not quarrel, they all knelt quietly in front of the neatly arranged memorial tablets, Zhu Menglong also handed her three sticks of incense.

Zhu Junyang confiscated his, took out a pack from his own small space, and offered incense to the ancestors of the Zhu family in turn.

Zhu Menglong followed her and accompanied her through the three floors, but did not burn incense.

He has already been expelled from the Zhu family, and he is not qualified to do such a thing.

Xia Yu hugged Wuhu and stood quietly downstairs.She didn't take a step into the ancestral hall, she stood outside all the time, her eyes glanced over the tablets one by one, a dense pain arose in her heart.

She knew that she was distressed.

As the last survivor, carrying the expectations and life of the entire Zhu family, is Zhu Junyang willing to do so?

Does she want to?

Does she want to live like this?

No one cares what she thinks.

If it was her, I'm afraid she would rather die with her relatives and friends than to sacrifice their lives for her.

It was half an hour after Zhu Junyang came upstairs, and she and Zhu Menglong walked up to Xia Yu one after the other.

Xia Yu moved her leg, and the tingling pain from the soles of her feet made her stagger.It was only then that she remembered that for more than half an hour just now, she hadn't moved anywhere, and her whole leg was numb.She froze with a ferocious expression, and wanted to stretch out her hand to rub it, but she was afraid that it would be more uncomfortable, so she could only lift her legs and hold the door steady, not daring to step on it.

Zhu Junyang squatted down in front of her, and pinched her legs with both hands without saying a word, which made her grin her teeth for a while, and the feeling was indescribable.

After leaving the gate of the ancestral hall, Zhu Menglong closed his hat and said with a sneer, "You really dare to bring her back, are you afraid that the ancestors of the Zhu family will be angered by you?"

Considering that the two siblings didn't seem to be in such a tense atmosphere just now, Xia Yu didn't open his mouth impulsively to curse you ass.

Zhu Junyang didn't care anymore, straightened up and turned his head to punch Zhu Menglong.

Zhu Menglong tilted his head, a large area of ​​glaringly white skin was exposed to the sun, and there was a "squeaky" sound, and there were even a few traces of white smoke visible to the naked eye.

He took a few steps back quickly, and at the same time he straightened his clothes, and giggled strangely: "Zhu Junyang, after you leave Longcheng, your temper still hasn't restrained at all. I don't know if you have forgotten the relationship with the person from the future." agreement?"

He was talking about the entrustment of the little skeleton Chen Zhirang—to save the future Longcheng Hospital.

They don't have any clue yet, so they also put this matter behind them, and they will remember it after hearing Zhu Menglong mention it today.

Xia Yu repeated "Fuck your shit" in his heart countless times, and finally blurted out: "Do you eat too much salt, you sabi? You meddle in this and that, do you think you live by the sea and you are so lenient?" Why did Zhu Junyang bring me here? Does it have anything to do with you? You have been expelled from the house long ago, what do you care about your ancestors? They are not your ancestors! A lost dog still has the face to go out? The sun doesn’t even dare to meddle in other people’s affairs? Let me beg you, take care of yourself before you come out to make fun of yourself!”

Zhu Menglong was almost so angry that his seven orifices bleed, pointing at her speechless: "You..."

The last time Xia Yu told him that you were so pitiful, he was so angry that he almost died on the spot. He thought that was the limit, but he didn't expect to see something even worse today.He has always been good at flirting with others, and he even has to make insinuations when he satirizes others. How has he tasted the feeling of being scolded in the face?In the end, he could only say angrily: "The shrew scolds the street!"

Xia Yu stopped and whined: "Baby, don't imitate my sister, she only acts like this when she scolds scum."

Wuhu nodded seriously: "I see."

Zhu Menglong was laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, you are shameless and you are right." After saying this, he felt much more comfortable in his heart, and then turned to Zhu Junyang and said, "Zhu Junyang, don't blame me for not reminding you, only we can resolve disasters , and only we can save the people from the dire straits. The incident in Fengcheng may not be enough to alert you, if you insist on going against us, don’t regret it in the end..."

Hearing him mention the matter of Fengcheng, Zhu Junyang's expression sank.

A red light flickered in her hand, and a long whip appeared, and the flames rolled on the whip, and the air was scorched with heat.

"Snapped".

There was a sound of breaking through the air, the whip fell on the place where Zhu Menglong was standing just now, and Zhu Menglong himself had retreated a few feet away, unscathed.

Zhu Junyang took the whip, and said in a deep voice: "Today's situation is special, I will let you go. You'd better escape as far as you can, otherwise I will send you to the ancestors of the Zhu family as soon as tomorrow arrives." Zong kowtows to apologize."

Zhu Menglong laughed softly: "In the future, you will know how wrong what you are doing now." After speaking, his figure shook for a while, and his whole body turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated.

Zhu Junyang looked at the place where he disappeared, and didn't look away for a long time.

Xia Yu stood beside her quietly and accompanied her.

After a while, Zhu Junyang said softly: "When he rebelled, he took away the Huoyunzhu from the Zhu family."

The Fire Cloud Pearl is a treasure that the Zhu family has always enshrined. Before the disaster struck, the head of the Zhu family pinned all his hopes on this small bead, hoping to use the power of the Fire Cloud Pearl to save the whole family.

However, Zhu Menglong fled to an unknown corner with the Huo Yunzhu just the day before their father sensed the approaching disaster. The Zhu family had no extra time to prepare, and they ushered in the disaster in a hurry.

All the descendants of Suzaku who were good at using fire died of spontaneous combustion, except for Zhu Junyang who was hidden in the ancestral hall in advance, none of them were spared.

And Zhu Junyang was trapped in the ancestral hall, witnessing his relatives and friends being burned to ashes one by one by the fire.

Zhu Junyang, who had always been strong, showed a rare vulnerability in front of Xia Yu. Xia Yu gently hugged her shoulders, not knowing what to say to comfort her.

In the end, it was Zhu Junyang who turned around and asked her with a smile, "Come on, would you like to meet my parents with me?"

Xia Yu: "! See you!"

You're a fool if you don't see it, okay? !

but--

"I'm a woman, is it convenient to go in?"

"What's the inconvenience?" Zhu Junyang pulled her into the ancestral hall, passed through the two ever-burning lamps, and walked to the memorial tablet: "The one in the middle is my father, the head of the previous Zhu family."

Xia Yu was at a loss for what to do, and finally knelt down with a "boom" and called out dryly, "Dad!"

Zhu Junyang was startled by her, and quickly pulled her up: "Don't be so solemn."

Xia Yu couldn't get up, and kept whining: "Come on, son! I'll give you a kowtow to Grandpa Zhu."

Wuhu glanced at her, sighed helplessly, knelt down and said in a low voice, "Grandpa Zhu is good."

Zhu Junyang couldn't laugh or cry.

Xia Yu tugged at her: "You come too, quickly kneel beside me."

Zhu Junyang shook his head and did as she said.

Xia Yu waited for her to kneel down, pulled her into a clasp, and said, "Dad, Mom, from now on, Zhu Junyang will be taken care of by me. I will definitely make her happy every day. Always be by her side."

Forever is too far away, even Zhu Junyang can't guarantee that he will be with Xia Yu forever, but Xia Yu said these two words easily.

She straightened up and looked at Xia Yu's serious face.

can she do itIf she can't...

If she couldn't... what would she do?

Zhu Junyang didn't know.

Xia Yu's chatter came to an end, she bowed again at the end, and then stood up together with Wuhu Zhu Junyang.

Before walking out of the ancestral hall, she still pretended to stand and look at the two long-burning lamps for a while, and "inadvertently" slapped the left one twice.

Zhu Junyang called her helplessly: "Come here, don't blow it up, it won't blow it out."

People are alive and the lights are alive, people are dead and lights are dead, and the ever-burning lights are equivalent to people's lives. As long as Zhu Menglong is not dead, the lights will not go out.

Logically speaking, Zhu Menglong betrayed the Zhu family and was removed from the family tree by Zhu's father. His lamp should be extinguished, but for some reason, the ever-burning lamp representing him is still bright, as dazzling as Zhu Junyang's... …

Maybe it was because he was so similar to Zhu Junyang that the ancestors recognized the wrong person; or maybe the ancestors couldn't bear to see her as the only woman left in the Zhu family, waiting for Zhu Menglong to turn around and admit his mistake; or maybe it was some other reason...

Zhu Junyang didn't want to investigate further.

Xia Yu said angrily: "I knew I should have brought Si Wei here!"

The lamp can only burn by relying on human life, but it is the opposite for the lamp blower.

Zhu Junyang reminded her: "Si Wei's ability is not enough to blow out people's lives."

Xia Yu: "Then wait for her to practice again before bringing her here!"

Solving the battle in one go, how beautiful it is!

Zhu Junyang couldn't bear to hit her again, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "Okay, I'll bring her to try again later."

Xia Yu was full of confidence, consciously found a way to deal with Zhu Menglong, gearing up, wishing he could go and practice with Si Wei right now.

Zhu Junyang brought her back this time, in addition to paying homage to her parents, she also had to search for some information.

At first, including her, all the Zhu family thought that the fall of the Suzaku God caused the catastrophe of the Zhu family, but from what she knows now, Nightmare Island was submerged, Dragon City's land veins were dried up, and Fengcheng was full of misfortune. , the omens of the sacrifices in the spirit world, and the early warning of the Bai Ze clan, all of them are telling one point - the spirit world may really change...
