Buried fire

The crime scene that Yan Chenyuan found only seemed unoccupied, and the arrangement of things in the bedroom was very similar to his bedroom in the master's gate on the mountain. It was probably arranged by his overly lively master himself.

The next day before dawn, Lu Huanyi was woken up by the old men and old ladies downstairs who had been exercising early, as if the whole world should wake up when they woke up, so he stood in the community and shouted with all his strength. He could hear what he was yelling, but he yelled Lu Huanyi from the edge of waking up to fully awake.

"Fuck." Lu Huanyi pressed his arms hard on his eyes, turned over, stared at the toes of his shoes for a while, put on his shoes, got up and walked out.

After washing and walking to the living room, I picked up the phone and took a look. The person on the other end of the phone hung up the phone after I said the word "Snake" yesterday. I didn't know what it meant. News from fellow Shimen.

Lu Huanyi went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, Yan Chenyuan thought well, and prepared everything from juice to beer.He took out a bottle of beer casually, and opened the lid with one hand. The smell of toothpaste mixed with the smell of beer rushed into his mouth, almost flying off the ground, and he put down the beer with a click.

After thinking for a while, he took out a palm-sized round mirror from the pocket of the padded jacket he wore yesterday—strange symbols and patterns were painted on the back of the mirror—put it in his palm, and gently tapped it with the other hand. I tapped on the mirror, but there was no response.

The master only said that he should go down the mountain to look for the Snake, and if he can't find it, don't go back to celebrate the New Year. Then he stuffed this magic weapon to find the Snake, and insisted that the Snake is in the town at the foot of the mountain.

Now Lu Huanyi reasonably suspected that the master wanted to drive him down the mountain, so he gave him an ordinary small mirror, and the deep meaning behind it was probably "Can you take a mirror to see how you look like you're just waiting to die!"

Don’t go back to celebrate the New Year if you can’t find the Ming Snake. This year, [-]% of the year really has to be spent outside.

Yan Chenyuan put some quick-frozen food in the lower shelf of the refrigerator, Lu Huanyi looked at it, and decided to go out and buy something to eat.

The old north wind outside showed no signs of weakening. Before going out, Lu Huanyi put on the mask, scarf and gloves, and put the small mirror given by Master in his pocket. The moment he walked out of the corridor, he still had the urge to turn his head and walk back .

It snowed all night, and a thick layer was piled up on the tree trunks. The little snowmen piled up on the side of the road looked very cute, and the children whose noses were red from freezing and still laughing and playing snowball fights were also very cute.

But cold is really cold.

In this kind of weather where it takes [-] minutes of ideological struggle to stretch your hands out of your pockets, the old men and women downstairs who are doing Tai Chi and fan dancing are not afraid at all. They are wearing thin clothes, but they all have red faces .

I am in good health.

Lu Huanyi sneezed.I applaud them from the bottom of my heart.

Generally, there are quite a lot of roadside stalls outside this kind of old-fashioned residential area. When you go out and turn a corner, you will see many stalls. He took out the small mirror and looked at it, but there was no response. He put the mirror away and went to the supermarket to buy some instant noodles.

At this moment, the group of old people who exercised early should be over, and they can sleep in the cage when they go back.

Thinking about it, Lu Huan pulled up the mask, turned around and continued walking back.

After they had reached the door, Lu Huanyi stared at the tightly locked door lock, and suddenly laughed. After a long time of laughter, he pulled off his mask, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hello?" The voice of the person on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, with the confusion of just waking up, probably woken up by his call, "What's wrong?"

"No, Uncle Yan," Lu Huanyi said happily again, "Did you not give me the key before you left yesterday?"

Yan Chenyuan on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, probably turning over to look for the keys in his pocket. Anyway, Lu Huanyi heard a series of noises. After the noises, he was quiet for a while. Yan Chenyuan said in a particularly exaggerated tone: "I I really didn’t give it to you, the key is in my pocket!”

Lu Huanyi really wanted to curse, but after thinking about it, he didn't think about asking the other party for the key. The other party was an elder after all, so he didn't scold. Go to your house and get the keys."

"I'm in the bureau, I took a difficult case, and I'm in the bureau for food and lodging," Yan Chenyuan yawned, "Come and find me, uncle will take you to have breakfast."

"I've eaten." Lu Huanyi stood up, jumped up, and pulled up the mask, "Send me the address, and I'll find you."

"Okay." Yan Chenyuan responded, hung up the phone neatly, and sent a location after a while.

Lu Huanyi went downstairs, intending to take a taxi there, but as soon as he reached the side of the road, a gust of wind blew towards him like a knife wrapped around him. Lu Huanyi was startled, and raised his head to look to the right.

There is a mountain on the far right of the town, which is not too high, but the top of the mountain is surrounded by white mist all the year round, like a fairyland. After snowing, it is even more white when viewed from a distance.At this moment, Lu Huanyi saw the black smoke curling up from the white mist, and was wrapped in the white mist for a few times before disappearing. The surrounding was suddenly quiet as if the air had been pulled away, Lu Huanyi frowned , and took two steps to the right.

I'll go there later.

After Lu Huanyi sent a message to Yan Chenyuan, he strode towards the mountain on the right.

The mountain road is winding, and it is slippery step by step after snow falls, but the closer you get to the mountainside, the more you can feel the turbid smell in the air. It is still early in the morning, and the snow on the mountainside should not be trampled by anyone, but at this time The snow has been compacted, and there is also a lot of dark brown soil stuck to it. There is an unpleasant stench on the soil, which makes people sick to the stomach.

When things produce visions, there must be demons and ghosts.

This was the first truth his master taught him after he became sensible.

Lu Huanyi tightened the scarf, and pulled the zipper of the padded jacket to the top. After making sure that the clothes on his body would not leak out, he jumped up. The child who was wrapped like a rice dumpling was as light as a bird, and he landed on the tree trunk with ease. Go up, squint your eyes and look ahead.

Far away, two dark werewolf-like monsters were barely visible, panting, staring at their red eyes, dragging a man out of the cave, and the man was dragged to the ground by them. He didn't wake up after rubbing his head on the snow hard a few times, probably because of some spell cast on him and passed out.

But looking at those two monsters who are self-reliant and dragging people down, they are exhausted and out of breath. It is likely that they have not cultivated for a few years.

Gee.

Lu Huanyi felt that he came down the mountain this time to save sentient beings.

After I go back, no matter what, I have to ask the master to give me the best award.

He squatted on the tree trunk and looked out. The two monsters were still some distance away from him. He simply stood up and flew forward with a kick. Already noticing himself, he hastily dragged the person he was dragging forward a bit.

The man rubbed his face on the ground twice fiercely in a posture that even Lu Huanyi felt pain just looking at it, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

"Hey, let it go," Lu Huanyi walked over slowly, with his hands still in his pockets, and looked at him casually, "If you eat people and practice again, you will die in the future."

The two monsters didn't know if they understood his words, they opened their mouths and gasped for a while like a mentally handicapped person, then suddenly dropped the dragging man, stretched out their sharp claws and rushed towards Lu Huanyi, Lu Huanyi Raising his eyebrows, he took his hand out of his pocket, spotted the opening on the left, turned slightly and punched it in the stomach, and the monster took a few steps back with a muffled grunt.

The one on the right rushed over immediately, and Lu Huanyi bowed down to avoid the stabbing claws, grabbed its arm with his backhand, and pulled it hard, tearing off one of its arms, and at the same time, a piercing cry of pain came out immediately.

The turquoise blood splashed all over the trouser legs, Lu Huanyi clicked his tongue, threw the arm aside, and rushed towards the two monsters again.

Only then did they realize that it was not ordinary people who came, and after a strange cry, they got into the snow, shrunk their bodies, and ran away in a hurry.

Lu Huanyi glanced at the small snow cave they came out of when they ran away, picked out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, put it at the entrance of the cave, and made a quick gesture with his fingers, the yellow paper immediately passed through the snow cave, and after a while it was in the distance. There was a muffled sound, and there was a stench of burning in the air after something exploded.

Those who have the intention of harming others, no matter whether they are humans or demons, cannot stay.

Lu Huanyi sighed, pulled his trousers, walked to the side of the person who was thrown on the ground, turned him over, and let him lie flat on the snow.

It was only now that I realized that this is a man in his 20s, still panting, his long black hair is messy on his head, the cotton clothes on his body are also tattered, and the left shoe even fell off , without socks, her face is as pale as paper, but her breathing is steady, her bloodless lips are lightly pursed, her facial features are pretty, and her legs... are quite long.

Lu Huanyi put his gaze back on this man's face. There was no wound on his face, as if he wasn't the one who was dragged by those two monsters just now. But there is no trace at all.

There is no black air in Yintang, and there are no strange marks on the palms and throats. This person has not been cast by monsters.

Is that an ordinary coma?

No matter what, you have to take it down the mountain first, and you can freeze to death within 3 minutes if you leave it here like this.

Lu Huanyi casually wiped the blood from his hands on the man, pulled one of his arms and put it on his shoulder, helped him up with all his strength, and walked down the mountain with slippery steps.

After walking a few steps, Lu Huanyi suddenly stopped.

He vaguely heard the man's snoring, up and down, quite rhythmically mixed in the whistling wind.

……Fell asleep?

In such a cold day, being caught by a monster and dragging him for so long, if he wasn't still panting, I would have suspected that he was dead, but he was just asleep?

This heart is big enough to hold a green grassland, right?

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated twice, Lu Huanyi couldn't pull out his hand to answer the phone, he didn't want to answer it at first, but he caught a glimpse of the person he was carrying from the corner of his eye, and threw him back to the ground on a sudden whim.

As expected, the man didn't even hum, and even turned over comfortably in the snow, found a comfortable place to nest, and continued to sleep.

"Hello?" Lu Huanyi picked up the phone and lightly kicked the man's leg.

"Where did you go?" Yan Chenyuan asked.

"Be brave when you see justice," Lu Huanyi said, "Then... I seem to have picked up a tin monster."
