Abu nodded and said with a proud smile: "Yes, it's obviously very good-looking." Then he lowered his head slightly and sighed: "It's a pity that no one wants it...how come no one wants it..."

"Hey, Abu," Li Chongguan stopped suddenly, pointed to the side, and asked, "Those roses look pretty, do you have any colored paper here? Help me wrap it up later, Make the bag look better, tie it with silk and satin."

Chen Zhinan looked at the few roses that had withered into red and black expressionlessly. After a long while, the flowers seemed to move, and then the two remaining leaves slowly floated to the ground.

"Rose, are these pretty enough?" Abu didn't turn his head, and led the two of them forward, his voice seemed a little erratic in the dark night, "There are still freshly bloomed twigs in the flower garden, Brother Quan, I Shall I take you to have a look?"

Although the question was a question, Abu didn't wait for them to answer. He even stretched out a hand to clamp Chen Zhinan's arm, and forced them to move forward.

Chen Zhinan's complexion changed at that time, and he couldn't break free a few times. Li Chongguan patted him on the back lightly twice, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid." Only then did Chen Zhinan calm down, and followed him step by step.

"Epiphyllum?" Li Chongguan asked emphatically, "Abu, I remember you planted a lot of sunflowers earlier."

"You like sunflowers best, they are bright yellow, full of vigor and vitality."

"Sunflower?" Abu repeated a few words lightly, his face suddenly changed, "No...I like epiphyllum, epiphyllum...I don't like sunflowers!"

At this time, Abu led them into a small room.

There is a small square table in the corner with a large painted vase on it.

There are many flower pots painted on the vase.

Each pot contains epiphyllum.

"This is my favorite sunflower," Abu explained joyfully, "Look at the color, the posture...how perfect and noble!"

"And it has never withered," Abu said, "I haven't seen it show even a hint of decay."

"Sunflower?" Li Chongguan smiled playfully and repeated.

Abzan said: "Yes, Xiang... Epiphyllum!"

"You just caught up with its most beautiful time!"

The two of them talked so deeply and vividly that Chen Zhinan almost wondered whether there was really such a beautiful sunflower or epiphyllum in the empty vase in front of him.

Chen Zhinan was stunned suddenly, he walked over slowly, approached, approached again, then stretched out his hand, reaching for the non-existent flower.

He didn't succeed.

Li Chongguan came over in time, beat him hard, and shouted: "Don't move!"

Chen Zhinan snapped back to his senses.

"Uh, Brother Quan, I..." What happened to him just now?

Abu's smile was a bit bewitching, and he said leisurely: "If he wants to touch it, let him go, Brother Quan—"

After hearing this, Chen Zhinan seemed to be unable to control his hand, and poked forward again.

"No," Li Chongguan said, grabbing a piece of broken hair from Chen Zhinan's forehead, "It's not good to touch people, no matter how old you are, you can't control it."

"Abu, where is the flower garden?" Li Chongguan asked.

"After passing this room, we will arrive." Abu replied.

After passing this room, there is an iron gate.

It is very narrow, probably a little more than 1.6 meters, and narrow enough for only one person to pass through. If you are a little fatter, you may have to turn sideways and tighten your stomach to barely pass.

The door is very old, with rust stains crawling from the door frame to the middle, and the whole piece is dented, and the ground is also covered with red rust.

The door was sealed with a few wrist-thick iron chains, and five locks were hung.Abu took out the keys from his pocket and unlocked them one by one.

"Brother Quan, why don't you go in and have a look?" Abu said with a smile.

"Abu, do you really like epiphyllum?" Li Chongguan suddenly asked.

"...Yes." Abu was silent for a long time before replying, "Yes."

Li Chongguan nodded, head held high, and walked in very gracefully.

Chen Zhinan was very timid, he didn't want to go in, and he didn't dare to go in.

Abu pushed behind him, Chen Zhinan staggered a few steps forward, and fell into the door. Looking out of the corner of his eye, he found that the seemingly flimsy iron door was a full two inches thick.

Then with a bang, the iron door closed.

Through the iron gate, Chen Zhinan vaguely heard the sound of the iron chain being dragged outside.

His Yuanshi Tianzun...

"Brother Quan," Chen Zhinan swallowed, "What should we do now..."

Li Chongguan stretched his index finger forward to his mouth, gave a slight "shh", signaled Chen Zhinan to shut up, and then called out loudly: "Hey, Brother Nan, you see that the flowers over there are pretty good, come here." Then he turned to Chen Zhinan winked.

Chen Zhinan understood, and hurriedly yelled at the door: "Come on, Brother Quan, let's go inside and have a look—"

"Okay - don't be so anxious, just wait for me!" Li Chongguan then shouted.

After a while, there were a few soft footsteps outside the door.

"Going away?" Li Chongcoffin said.

"Yeah." Chen Zhinan said, "Brother Quan, what should we do now?"

The surroundings are a bit dim, except for an old light bulb hanging on the door behind him, there are only a few scattered lights in the flowers in the distance.

"That door just now, and those iron chains," Li Chongcoin asked, "What do you think they are for?"

"Is it to prevent outsiders from coming in to steal the flowers, or... to prevent something inside from going outside?"

Chen Zhinan didn't answer.

Li Chongguan suddenly said: "I'm sorry."

"I wanted to find something easy to solve, but it seems that I ran into some big monster from the deep mountains and old forests."

Chen Zhinan thought, Brother Quan, brother Quan, your tone really doesn't mean you're sorry at all.

"Do you know the story of a flash in the pan?" Li Chongcoin asked.

Chen Zhinan thought for a while, and replied, yes.

An epiphyllum fell in love with the young man who was with her every day, watering and weeding her.

The man later became a monk and became a Dharma protector, so he couldn't remember her anymore.

She is not reconciled.

For thousands of years, Epiphyllum has guarded the time and bloomed for him again and again.

But never saw her Wei Tuo again.

"En." Li Chong'an nodded and said, "See the epiphyllum on the vase?"

"I see." Chen Zhinan replied.

"Abu," said Li Chongguan, "is regarded as 'Wei Tuo'."

Chen Zhinan was taken aback.

"There is a stack of yellow paper in the bag, take it out." Li Chongguan didn't explain anymore, just said.

Chen Zhinan had no choice but to oh, and turned out the paper and handed it to him.

Li Chongguan tore the paper into strips, then bit the index finger of his left hand, and began to draw talismans.

He seemed to draw a few strokes casually, raised his head and found Chen Zhinan looking at him, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Chen Zhinan answered honestly: "Thinking of those idle times when I went down the mountain with my grandfather to cheat money."

"Your grandfather is not an old man," Li Chongguan said dryly, "He is a celestial master. I still learned these trivial skills from your grandfather, which is not one ten-thousandth of your grandfather's."

Afterwards, Li Chongguan grabbed a handful of yellow paper talismans, looked Chen Zhinan up and down, pondered for a while, and finally chose to fold them up and stuff them into Chen Zhinan's collar.

Seeing Li Chongguan pulling his collar, Chen Zhinan panicked and shouted, "Hey, hey...what are you doing?"

"Don't move, it's just stuck in your neck," Li Chongguan said, "It's a trick, it will burn if it touches something unclean."

Hearing his explanation, Chen Zhinan panicked even more: "No, that, Brother Quan, are you sure this thing is just here on my neck?"

Li Chongguan said: "It's different from ordinary fire. The temperature is low, so if you put it in another place, you may not wake you up."

"Or wait for the ghosts and goblins to come and gnaw you to the bone in the middle of the night? You can choose one." Li Chongguan raised his chin and said.

"Then let's put it here..." Chen Zhinan said with shame, "Are we going to sleep here?"

Li Chongguan nodded, and said calmly: "Yes, what's wrong?"

No... Chen Zhinan looked around, why are people sleeping in this place?

"There's a blanket in the bag," Li Chongguan said, "Why are you so picky, it's nice to have a place."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed his feet directly on the ground near the iron gate, brushing away some weeds, and said, "It's quite dry."

This geomantic treasure land has been bestowed on you, so hurry up and thank you.

"Brother Quan, there's a lot of ghosts here, how can you sleep on?" Chen Zhinan wanted to cry, "Aren't we going back?"

Li Chongguan nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and took out two flints from the bag.

Chen Zhinan: "...Brother Quan, the new China is here, I have matches in my bag, do you want them?"

"I am willing." Li Chongguan said vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Come one, Brother Quan, come here." Chen Zhinan called out.

Li Chongguan looked up at Chen Zhinan, and said, sleep with you.

"Damn, Brother Quan," Chen Zhinan had to open the bag and turned it over, "You are not being kind, and you are telling half of the story, and you are eating alone."

"You go to bed." Li Chong'an said, "I'm not prepared enough today, so I won't go in. I'll tell you the rest tomorrow, I'm not sure."

Chen Zhinan keenly heard the implication of Li Chong's coffin, and broke down, "Brother Quan—"

Li Chongguan nodded, and calmly agreed: "Well, come back tomorrow."

As soon as Li Chongguan finished speaking, a street lamp not far ahead suddenly went out.

The lamp had always been brightly lit there, but it was not surrounded by moths, which was very strange.

Chen Zhinan's voice immediately turned into tears: "Brother Quan..."

Li Chongguan turned his head, the choking smoke sprayed his face, and said, go to sleep.

"I won't sleep, I'll keep watch for you."

Don't be afraid.

"Sleeping in this place, when the door opens in the middle of the night, my head is squeezed out by the door, Brother Quan." Chen Zhinan muttered.

In this kind of place, Chen Zhinan naturally couldn't fall asleep. He closed his eyes, listening to Li Chongcoin walking around, and then stood still.

Opening his eyes, he saw that Li Chong'an had surrounded him with paper talismans.

Chen Zhinan couldn't make it through. He didn't know what time it was at night, but he couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep in a daze.

I woke up suddenly because I felt that the surrounding area suddenly became much brighter, and there was a mass of warmth coming from my neck.

Chen Zhinan opened his eyes, it was a paper talisman.

A dazzling orange flame ignited.

Obviously the paper talisman was only on the side of the neck and around it, Chen Zhinan felt some warmth on the top of his head and back for some reason.

It seemed that something was slowly flowing down.

Chen Zhinan stretched out his hand to wipe it, and there was a big red spot on his hand.

is blood.

Very fresh.

Chen Zhinan was startled, as if remembering something, slowly raised his head, and saw two round eyeballs hanging on the place where the old light bulb was hanging on the iron door.

Staring straight at him, it was dripping with blood while glowing dark red.

Then something seemed to smile slightly, and licked the back of his neck.

Chen Zhinan turned his head, but there was no one behind him.

Then Abu's innocent gray face slowly appeared on the old iron gate, without eyes.

The eyeballs are hanging on the top of the head.

Abu grinned, and smiled at Chen Zhinan.

"I'm here—"

Chen Zhinan: "Ah——"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Chen Zhinan turned around and found himself still lying on the ground with a blanket under his body.

Li Chongguan stood at him and looked at him inexplicably, then reacted, and smiled playfully at him: "Did you have a nightmare?"

"...Dream?" Chen Zhinan touched his collar first, and took out a bunch of undamaged yellow paper talismans.

There is also a circle around it, and it is placed there in a good way.

Li Chong's coffin was still standing there, without even moving, and cigarette butts were scattered all over the ground.

"What did you dream about?" Li Chong'an said, "Tell me."

Chen Zhinan rolled his eyes and said that he dreamed of a pig's head smoking all night.

Li Chongguan was noncommittal, pointed to the sky, and said: "It's bright, and Abu will come to open the door later."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

Chen Zhinan heard the sound of the iron chain dragging again, and then the door opened with a creak.

Abu stood at the door and looked at them, and said with a sinister smile, "Good morning, Brother Quan."

Li Chong'an replied: "Morning, Abu."

"Didn't you pick any good-looking flowers?" Abu seemed a little disappointed, and asked, "Aren't my flowers good enough?"

"No, your flowers are very good," Li Chongbi leaned close to Abu's ear and whispered, "I saw a lot of sunflowers, they are very beautiful, but you didn't cut them for us last night."

"How about we cut them off again tonight?"

Abu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then I will come to you at night?"

Li Chongguan agreed, okay, you can call me at night.

Chen Zhinan was devastated by the unavoidable encounter at night, while looking back several times.

Last night...was it really a dream?

That was too real.

Chen Zhinan seemed to still be able to smell the disgusting smell of blood from last night.

"Brother Quan, where is the rag we brought yesterday?" Chen Zhinan asked.

"Drag?" Li Chongguan glanced at Chen Zhinan and replied, "No, we didn't bring a rag."

Chen Zhinan nodded, but did not speak.

Lu Dan expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the two comrades, and even knocked on a few gongs.

"Don't disturb the people early in the morning, Comrade Ludan." Li Chongguan put the bag away, grabbed the gong, and said, "How about early? Why are you still here?"

"I'm happy today," Lu Dan said, "Hey, how did you guys last night?"

Li Chongguan replied: "It's not very good, I feel like a hard stubble."
