Buried fire

The gate of the ghost city opens on time at midnight.

Yan Chenyuan and his entire team were waiting not far away in case something unexpected happened.

Zhuang Chao pulled out his tail and walked in with a flicker behind him.There are often monsters in the ghost city, so few ghosts are very surprised by his arrival. Yan Chenyuan and the others also gave a large sum of money, saying that they can buy whatever they see and want to buy, as long as they investigate the case clearly.

He took the money and saw that it was Mingbi, and then raised his head to look at the harmless smiling faces of Xiao Dushui and Yan Chenyuan, not knowing whether to say they were generous or stingy.

But there's really nothing to buy.

It is said to be a ghost market, but in fact it sells only vulgar things. Those things from the human world have been crushed and placed on the world stalls for those little ghosts who have just entered the ghost world to buy novelties. After all, after death, people can no longer Came across these things.

Zhuang Chao bought a rattle and shook it gently in his hand as he walked.

The real good stuff, what he was really looking for hadn't been on stage yet.

As time went by, more and more ghosts entered the ghost market, and the atmosphere became more and more gloomy. They were all things that did not touch the ground. The whole ghost market was so quiet that even the sound of the wind could not be heard. Gave it to a kid next to him.

Zhuang Chao locked on a ghost with a relatively high cultivation base among the ghosts and followed him. He didn't dare to follow too closely. Holding a few bottles and jars, flickered by the dim candlelight of the lantern on the beam, something inside opened its eyes, quickly glanced outside, smacked its lips and closed its eyes again.

The stall owner behind the stall stared at the ghosts passing by with scarlet eyes. He didn't open his mouth until Zhuang Chao stopped in front of the stall, and the voice came directly into Zhuang Chao's mind, "What to buy?"

Zhuang Chao raised his hand and nodded on the table, but did not speak.

"Is there nothing you like here?" The ghost understood what he meant, his pupils shrank suddenly as if they were scorched by fire, and the entire ghost's facial features were wrinkled, "No? No?"

"Humans, don't you like it?" The ghost murmured, and quickly searched for something under the table. After a while, he took out another bottle, "Then why don't you look at this?"

Zhuang Chao stared at the bottle in his hand for a while, his pupils suddenly constricted, and the hand hanging by his side unconsciously clenched.

It was a palm-sized, immature Felipe's fetus, with two short tails protruding from behind.

Zhuang Chao is a ghost market that came out with his tail showing. This ghost clearly knows what kind of monster he is, and he wants to take out this kind of thing.

"It really is you," the ghost smiled, raised his hand and grabbed Zhuang Chao's collar and held him in front of him, pressing his forehead against his, and when he spoke, cold air rushed to his face, with an unbearable rancid smell. "You traitor from the demon world."

"You know me." Zhuang Chao looked directly at him, and paused every word, "Who is your master?"

"Who is it?" The ghost smiled, "If you come with me, you will know?"

"I'll go if you tell me to go?" Zhuang Chao pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and the demon pattern in front of his eyes became more and more strange with the expression of the corners of his eyes. "What are you?"

"Where's Zhuang Chao?" Lu Zhenshu jumped down from the air, startled Xiao Dushui who was leaning on the side of the car and gnawing corn, a corn choked into his throat and coughed for a long time.

"He's entered the ghost market," Yan Chenyuan patted his back and looked at his watch, "It's time to come out."

Lu Zhen was still bookish, apologized to Xiao Dushui, and then turned to look at the ghost market that was gradually closing down.

The ghosts came out in a file, the gate shrunk little by little, the red lantern at the gate was blown out by a gust of wind, and the front fell into darkness, but Zhuang Chao's figure never appeared at the gate, the gate was still the size of a person, Lu Zhen Shu was a little anxious, and when he raised his sword and wanted to rush in, the ghost city suddenly became noisy.

The sound of fighting was heard one after another, and several people were stunned, and immediately rushed towards that side. Before they could get there, Zhuang Chao flashed out from the gate of the ghost city, threw a cloud of black mist in front of them, and hugged him in his arms. Something was covered with a black cloth, and it was impossible to see what it was, "This is a ghost who sells evil things."

"How did you catch it?" Yan Chenyuan clicked his tongue.His original intention was to follow the clues to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Recognized, this thing knows me." Zhuang Chao's breathing was still a little unsteady, his face turned pale, and a cut was cut on the side of his face, and blood was still oozing out, "I'm sorry, there is really no way."

"...Take it back for interrogation," Yan Chenyuan fumbled for a rope from his pocket, and handed it to Xiao Dushui, "There must be something to gain, right?"

"It's startling the snake." Xiao Dushui took the rope, and with a strong hand, the aura of the rope was broken and could be used to bind the ghost. "It won't be easy to catch after that."

"I can help you," Zhuang Chao said, "find out who is behind the scenes, and I will help you catch it."

Yan Chenyuan glanced at him, but said nothing.

Lu Zhenshu stood by the side all the time, staring at the bloodstain on Zhuang Chao's face without saying a word, until Xiao Dushui tied up the ghost, clapped his hands and grabbed the end of the rope, got into the car, and was about to fly a kite After letting the ghost run behind the car, he raised his head and asked Zhuang Chao, "Do you have somewhere to go tonight?"

Zhuang Chao turned his head to look at him, took a few deep breaths, and when he exhaled again, his breath trembled a little, "Why did you go down the mountain?"

"...I came to find you." Lu Zhenshu said.

"Then let's go first," Yan Chenyuan led a group of people, terribly sleepy, "If you have nowhere to go, come to the bureau, there is a rest room."

Neither Zhuang Chao nor Lu Zhenshu responded to him.

After the car drove out, Zhuang Chao handed the thing in his arms to Lu Zhenshu. He held it so tightly that his knuckles turned white, but when he handed it to Lu Zhenshu, his hand suddenly loosened Li, "your stuff."

Lu Zhenshu was stunned for a while before taking it, lifted the black cloth, and saw it clearly under the moonlight. It was a sword hilt with a lifelike white tiger engraved on it, which was similar to the one he saw in his dream. The sword is exactly the same.He paused for a while, then handed back the hilt of the sword, "I don't want it."

"Take it," Zhuang Chao said, "you will need it when you cross the catastrophe in the future."

Lu Zhenshu pursed his lower lip and said nothing.

When the early morning wind blows over, there is always a little chill. Zhuang Chao didn't take back his hand, but just stubbornly handed it in front of Lu Zhen's book, and stared at him blankly, as if he was looking at another person.

This recognition made Lu Zhenshu very upset, but he didn't know where this discomfort came from, and the irritability circled in his heart. He raised his hand, but he didn't take the hilt of the sword in the end, " You're not going to explain something?"

"Explain what?" Zhuang Chao said.

"This is not mine," Lu Zhenshu said, "I haven't seen him before."

"It's yours, take it." Zhuang Chao still stubbornly stuffed the hilt into Lu Zhenshu's arms, took a step back, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if seeing Lu Zhenshu holding the hilt was pleasing to the eye Quite like, the whole person's state has relaxed.

Lu Zhenshu took the hilt of the sword out of his arms, held it in his hand, looked at Zhuang Chao, and said, "I've had some dreams recently."

"Huh?" Zhuang Chao responded.

"All..." Lu Zhenshu paused, as if he felt a little embarrassed remembering the things in his dream, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all related to you."

Zhuang Chao's relaxed state became tense again.

"Did we know each other in the previous life?" Lu Zhenshu took a step forward, stood in front of Zhuang Chao, and grabbed his hand, "Is it... that kind of relationship?"

"...I know." Zhuang Chao only answered the first half of the sentence, and after a while, he said again, "But it has nothing to do with you now."

"What?" Lu Zhenshu looked at him.

"You want to become a fairy in this life, but in the previous life...the things in the previous lives have nothing to do with you," Zhuang Chao shook his head, wrenched his hand out of his hand, and whispered, "From now on, you will be your fairy, and I will be your fairy." Continue to be my monster, we have nothing to do with each other."

The moon has almost submerged in the hills.

The leaves on the treetops were illuminated with strange colors by the moonlight, and the cicadas, which had been silent until midnight, began to shout actively again, so annoying that people wanted to take a bag and put them all in the river.

Lu Zhenshu suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he was stunned for a long time before he smiled inexplicably, "You were the one who provoked me first."

"...I'm sorry," Zhuang Chao's voice was still very low, "I shouldn't have come."

Zhuang Chao's words made Lu Zhenshu want to laugh even more.

I am sorry.

shouldn't come.

I shouldn't know you, I shouldn't stick to you, I shouldn't kiss you secretly and let you coax me with confidence.

Everything has become wrong.

Zhuang Chao started it first, and he said it was going to end.

Zhuang Chao is simply crazy.

"When I first got close to Lu Huanyi and the others, I never thought I would run into you. I searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you. I never thought I would run into you here." Zhuang Chao's voice trembled a little, "I know You are going to become a fairy in this life, I shouldn't provoke you, but I can't help it."

"So?" Lu Zhenshu said, "That's the end?"

Zhuang Chao didn't speak.

He knew he was wrong.

From the very beginning when helping Jiushao, he knew that he had gone on the wrong path. Jiushao was too obsessed with Yejiang, and kept Yejiang's remnant soul in the world for so many years. For the sealed Yejiang, he suddenly thought that he and Jiushao were actually the same kind of person.

If Lu Zhenshu failed to become a fairy in this life, he will fall into reincarnation in the next life, and I don’t know how many lives he will have to wait for the next good fate. The suffering in the world and Lu Zhenshu’s suffering are all because of he.

He didn't want to do this anymore, the encounter with Lu Zhenshu in this life was wrong from the very beginning.

It's still too late to let go now, Lu Zhenshu has to practice for 800 years to become an immortal, and there is still enough time to forget him, so that he won't become a hurdle in his enlightenment of Dao Xin.

But Lu Zhenshu didn't think so.

As if he had heard a big joke, he stared at Zhuang Chao for a long time, then threw the hilt of his sword on the ground, and said, "Forget it."
