Underworld Merry Flower

Chao Xi relaxed his body as if relieved, and cuddled closely with Xun Heng.

How I wish this moment could last forever, I hope Xun Heng's immortal intelligence can suppress the demonized part, and prevent another one from having a chance to take the lead.

Lingbao Tianzun said that as long as the demonic avatar/body is suppressed for more than seven days, his demonic nature will be gradually atomized; after fourteen days, it will be completely eliminated, and Xun Heng can escape from danger.

The fourteenth day is usually just a snap of the fingers.But now, Chao Xi feels like his days are like years.

Chao Xi didn't dare to sleep, Xun Heng is now in an extremely dangerous period, and his every move affects Chao Xi's nerves.

Although Xun Heng closed his eyes, he did not fall asleep.Whether everything before was an illusion, Xun Heng knew it clearly.

Now he is in a strange dormitory, the clothes he is wearing are not his own, and he has a feeling of colliding with other souls.At the moment of the collision, he overlapped with a person.

Then he saw Chao Xi.

Xun Heng didn't know whose body his immortal body had fused with, but judging by Chao Xi's actions, it should be the ghost king who looked exactly like him.

The reason why Xun Heng didn't delve into the matter in front of Chao Xi was because he was afraid that Chao Xi would be worried.Xun Heng saw and felt Chao Xi's trembling body and cautious expression.

Xun Heng tried to pull himself out of this body, but failed, and the voice of Lingbao Tianzun sounded in his ears: "Disciple, you and the ghost king are one body, now you have to suppress him with the Demon King Sutra, you must use it to suppress him." Don’t compete with him, otherwise you will hurt yourself. Emperor Hades will be there to help you, as a teacher, I hope you can overcome the viciousness and be yourself.”

Xun Heng regretted that he didn't wipe out this evil obstacle during the battle between immortals and demons, but keeping it until now has dragged Chao Xi down.

The two share the same bed, but they have no desire to sleep, each thinking about their own concerns.

***

The two ushered in the first ray of dawn in the torment.

Chao Xi kept the same posture all night, and half of his body became numb.

Chao Xi gently left Xun Heng's embrace, but Xun Heng didn't respond, and Chao Xi finally let out a suffocated breath.

Chao Xi sat on the edge of the bed and bent over to put on his shoes, Xun Heng's eyes opened a slit.

After putting on his shoes, Chao Xi left the bedroom.

Chao Xi is hungry, he wants to cook.Prison Ghost King and Xun Heng, one is a demon and the other is an immortal, neither eat grains, and Chao Xi drags a mortal body, which is no match for them.

When Chao Xi was cooking, he was obsessed with thinking about things, and Xun Heng was standing behind him, but he didn't realize it.

Seeing that the rice was about to burn, Xun Heng went to carry the pot with bare hands, and with a sound of "Zi La", Xun Heng's hands were scalded by the hot edge of the pot, and a puff of white smoke came out.

Chao Xi suddenly came back to his senses, jumped up, grabbed Xun Heng's hand and stuffed it into the water tank: "My God, why did you carry the pot empty-handed? This pot has been burning for half an hour, it's very hot! Your hand Does it hurt?"

Xun Heng didn't respond, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt."

"You don't hurt, I hurt!" Chao Xi angrily raised Xun Heng's hand to check the wound.

Xun Heng's expression was very gentle, and he withdrew his hand and said, "It really doesn't hurt. This temperature is less than one ten-thousandth of that of Jiumei Real Fire. In order to save me, half of your body was roasted by Jiumei Real Fire and you didn't cry out. .”

Bringing up that matter, Chao Xi was a little embarrassed. At that time, in order to gain a sense of presence in front of Xun Heng, he almost forgot himself.Chao Xi still dare not recall the feeling of being burned by the real fire of Jiumei.

"You can't come to the kitchen in the future." Chao Xi ordered. "You don't understand the things that mortals use."

"Isn't this a cooking pot?" Xun Heng frowned slightly, feeling that Chao Xi regarded himself as a foolish child.

"It's a pot, but you don't need to eat. Does the gentleman know that he is far away from the kitchen?"

Xun Heng stared at the rice in the pot and said, "I can eat it. We ate a lot of delicacies together a few days ago. Is this rice sweet?"

Xun Heng said that next time he comes to the world, he will only eat sweets.

Chao Xi scooped up some rice with a shovel and tasted it: "The white rice has no taste in the mouth, but after chewing for a long time, it will have a sweet taste. Are you sure you want to eat it?"

Xun Heng nodded.

Chao Xi filled a small bowl for Xun Heng and gave him a small spoon.

Xun Heng looked around, there was no bench, so he just squatted on the ground like Chao Xi, and began to eat seriously and gracefully.

Xun Heng was so down-to-earth that Chao Xi almost spit out the rice in his mouth.

Xun Heng ate half of it, and said slowly: "If possible, I would rather be a human being."

Chao Xi paused in the action of planing rice, and his nose suddenly turned sour.

Chao Xi quickly blinked his eyes, and said with a smile, "The three worlds are besieged cities. People in the city want to get out, and people outside the city want to go in. You envy mortals, but mortals dream of becoming immortals. I'm a very good person." example?"

Xun Heng shook his head and said: "I don't envy mortals, but I regret that I didn't accompany you to watch the sunrise and sunset in the world before you ascended to immortality, and the flowers bloom and fade."

Chao Xi put down the bowl, covered his face with his hands and said, "Mr. Xun Heng, don't be emotional when eating."

Xun Heng sighed slightly, put his hand on the back of Chao Xi's neck, rubbed it and said, "However, the fairyland is also very good, we have an infinite time together. I can take you to the moon sky, where you can stretch out your hand Reaching for the stars. The ground is full of moon amaranth flowers, although it is not as strong as Manjusawa, but its fragrance is the best I have ever smelled."

Water overflowed between Chao Xi's fingers, and his shoulders shook slightly.

Xun Heng took Chao Xi into his arms, and said softly, "Don't be sad, it's my fault that kept you waiting."

All of Chao Xi's emotions were released at this moment.He buried his head on Xun Heng's shoulder, tears streaming down his face.

Finally keep the flowers blooming to see the moon.All Chao Xi's efforts were not in vain, as long as he persisted for another thirteen days, he and Xun Heng would usher in the best future.

But on the third night, something went wrong with Xun Heng.

After dinner, the two played chess by candlelight.

Chao Xi had never played chess with Xun Heng before, and originally wanted to try a small game to find out Xun Heng's chess style, but he didn't expect that the more he played, the more he felt that Xun Heng's chess style seemed familiar.

Xun Heng learned from Sanqing, so he should have the demeanor of a big player, but his chess style is extremely sharp, he presses every step when he sees the needle, and he is relentless.

Chao Xi was forced into a dilemma by him and almost lost the chess game.

Chao Xi cheered up and tried his best to turn the tide, before he managed to find a way out from the crack.

Chao Xi raised his eyes and glanced at Xun Heng. With a sneer on the corner of Xun Heng's mouth, he flexibly played with the sunspot in his hand.

Chao Xi dropped a son and said, "I will definitely lose this game."

Xun Heng slowly dropped the black stones in his hand in front of Chao Xi's white stones, blocking his last way out, and lazily said: "If you lose in chess, you can start over. If you lose in life, there is no chance to come back. So, I must win."

Chao Xi looked down at the chessboard with mixed emotions in his heart.When the demonic Xun Heng came out, he didn't realize it at all.

"It seems that you don't want to play chess with me anymore?" Xun Heng said lightly.

"Then why don't you draw a portrait for me?" Xun Heng stood up and stretched out his hand towards Chao Xi, "I was not satisfied with the painting last time, but this time you have seen my appearance, you should be able to draw it well."

Chao Xi stood up and pushed his hand away: "How should I call you?"

Xun Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Ask knowingly."

Chao Xi smiled wryly: "Aren't you also called Xun Heng?"

"I don't like this name, but you seem to like it very much, so I will reluctantly accept it. It sounds better than being called the King of Ghosts."

"When did you see through my identity?" Chao Xi asked.

The corners of Xun Heng's mouth turned up, and he said frankly: "When you were in the main altar, you had a good time. Those mortals compared you to an exiled immortal. Would an exiled immortal come to such a filthy place?"

"So, you've been playing tricks on me since we met." Chao Xi's voice was flat, neither happy nor angry.

"Aren't you trying to test me?" Xun Heng pointed to his sword bone and said, "You have two chances to pierce here, why don't you do it? Little Underworld Emperor, you are still too young to be cruel enough."

Chao Xi said: "I don't want to kill you, I just act impartially, the world is not the place for you to stay."

Xun Heng asked back: "Where should I stay? The demon world no longer exists, the underworld is too small, only the fairy world. But there is already a Ziyin Tianzun in the fairy world, and there is no place for me."

"You have seen Ziyin Tianzun, you look exactly the same, don't you want to know the reason?" Chao Xi asked.

"So what if we know?" Xun Heng said indifferently, "Even if he and I are brothers, the gap between immortals and demons has already formed, and we can only fight each other and want to kill each other. Knowing too much is of no benefit to me."

Chao Xi shook his head, knowing that it would be useless to say more now, all he could do now was to appease his emotions and prevent him from going berserk.

Chao Xi said, "Okay, let's go to the study, and I will repaint your portrait."

Xun Heng said: "Go to the side hall, and repaint at the last location."

Chao Xi understood what he meant.He is too strong. Wherever he has been angered, he must get it back.

According to what he said, Chao Xi came to the side hall, and this time he only took half an hour to paint the portrait.

Xun Heng unfolded the drawing paper and savored the painting carefully.

The man in the painting looks like a dragon and a phoenix, with a clear and elegant charm, and the hidden elegance between the brows can be felt through the painting paper.

In the upper left corner of the painting, Chao Xi also mentioned a row of small characters:

Neither saints nor sages nor immortals, good and evil are only in one thought.

The reincarnation of the world is said to be undefeated, and the viciousness is thrown out of the nine heavens.

The cold wind and the snow cover the Qingming, and the shadow of the crane sighs and sighs.

After going through the vicissitudes of the ages, the empty mountains and valleys cross the maze.

Xun Heng caressed the portrait with his fingertips, and rubbed back and forth at the inscription.After a long time, he asked, "Is this me in your painting?"

Chao Xi said: "The painter is only responsible for the portrait, as for how the viewer perceives the painting, it is out of the painter's control."

Xun Heng raised his eyebrows, put away the drawing paper, put it in his girdle, pulled Chao Xi's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "It's time to go to bed."

Chao Xi stood still, staring at him with a frown.

"You don't want to sleep with me?" Xun Heng asked.

Chao Xi said: "As far as status is concerned, there is a huge gap between you and me. I am an official, but you are a prisoner."

"You dislike me?" Xun Heng's expression was very unhappy.

Chao Xi said: "The so-called Dao is different and does not conspire with each other. How can immortals and demons coexist peacefully?"

Xun Heng tightened his grip, and Chao Xi silently endured his anger.

Xun Heng let go of Chao Xi's wrist, and the next moment aggressively rubbed him into his arms.

A cold voice sounded above Chao Xi's head: "Don't mention to me the distinction between identity and good or evil, what I want is to get it by all means."

"What do you want?" Chao Xi said indifferently, "Is this skin? If you want it, take it. It's not mine anyway."

Xun Heng's body froze suddenly, and Chao Xi's words blocked his mouth.

What's the use of this mortal skin, what Xun Heng wants is Chao Xi's heart.

"I want everything from you." Xun Heng said.

Chao Xi said: "Okay, when your demonic nature dissipates, it will be the time for you and me to have a blind date."

Xun Heng suddenly sneered: "Chao Xi, are you dealing with me the way you deal with mortals? If my demon nature is gone, won't the other one take advantage of it for nothing?"

Chao Xi also smiled: "What good is it for you to maintain your demonic nature? You and another self will kill each other, and in the end both jade and stone will be destroyed. The immortal and demonic yuan will be shattered at the same time, and there will be no Xun Heng in Huangquanbiluo from then on. You think that even if you die, you have to pull a back Yes, but have you ever thought that you and him are one, if you want to live, don't resist him."

"I have a special liking for Ziyin Tianzun, and I don't reject you, because you are his avatar, another manifestation of his temperament. I like him, so I can accept his advantages and disadvantages. You Not an independent individual, to let him go is to let yourself go."

After Chao Xi finished speaking, Xun Heng lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on Chao Xi's face, with thoughts, puzzles, and more rejection.

"Do you know why I hate gods so much?" Xun Heng asked.

Chao Xi didn't answer.

Xun Heng asked in a different way: "Are you a native immortal?"

Chao Xi shook his head: "I am a mortal who ascended to immortality."

Xun Heng nodded slightly: "Then why do you become Emperor of the Underworld in the lower realm? The underworld is a place that the gods can't avoid."

Chao Xi probably knew the reason why Xun Heng hated gods, and said, "You can't generalize. Not every god is arrogant and arrogant. I don't deny that there are many unreasonable things in the rules of heaven, but there are no rules."

"I also had rebellious emotions, thinking that I shouldn't cultivate immortality. I lived a free and unrestrained life in the human world, but I was very uncomfortable when I went to the heavenly palace and was restricted everywhere, so I recommended myself to be the emperor of the underworld. Entertaining myself without letting negativity eat away at my sanity."

"Do you think God is unfair to you? One of you and Ziyin Tianzun are the pillars of the fairy world, and the other is the scourge of the three realms. He is at ease in the bright nine heavens, but you follow the vulgarity in the dark demon world."

Xun Heng narrowed his eyes, no one could understand what was going on in his mind so far, Chao Xi explained his thoughts in a few words, and Xun Heng felt a slight wave in his heart.

Chao Xi paused for a moment, then sighed: "Actually, Ziyin Tianzun's life is very boring. He was brought to Xiaoyaotian by Sanqing since he was a child, and there was nothing there except the endless Taoist scriptures. His loneliness He had nowhere to talk, which led to his extremely indifferent temperament. When he became an adult, he returned to heaven, like a lifeless machine, numbly repeating what he thought was his duty. Do you envy him like this?"

Xun Heng said: "You know him very well."

Chao Xi said: "I can also understand you, as long as you are willing to give me a chance."

Xun Heng asked: "If I insist on fighting against him, what should you do?"

After pondering for a moment, Chao Xi said, "I will follow in his footsteps and become a machine without emotion and life."

Xun Heng asked again: "Don't you like him, why don't you die for love?"

Chao Xi said: "When my heart is turned to ashes, it is no different from death. From what I know about him, even if he disappears, he still hopes that I will live well, and I will not let him down."

Chao Xi's last words made Xun Heng's originally disturbed mood a little bit lower.Ziyin Tianzun has Chao Xi who treats him affectionately, but he himself has nothing but hatred.

Are you still fighting?What's the point of fighting to the end and losing both sides, leaving a notorious reputation as a joke in the Three Realms?

Xun Heng let go of Chao Xi, turned around, and said calmly, "Go out and let me be quiet."

Chao Xi finally said: "Please weigh the pros and cons, think twice before acting."

Chao Xi walked out of the side hall, leaned against the wall, and stood quietly all night.

The next day, when Xun Heng opened the door of the palace, a person suddenly fell towards him.

Xun Heng reached out to catch Chao Xi.

Chao Xi opened his hazy eyes, and after seeing Xun Heng, his eyes became clearer, and he murmured, "Accidentally, I fell asleep."

"Why are you sleeping here?" Xun Heng hugged Chao Xi distressedly, stepped over the high threshold, walked to the bed in the side hall, and gently placed Chao Xi on the bed.

"Did the ghost king come out yesterday?" Xun Heng asked.

"Ah."

"I'm really useless," Xun Heng blamed himself, "I can't even suppress a little ghost king, did he do anything to you?"

Chao Xi held his hand and said, "No, he's very friendly. I talked to him, and he seemed to have a feeling for it."

"Chao Xi..." Xun Heng didn't know how to express his emotions, and his face turned red slightly in a hurry.

"I understand." Chao Xi nodded, and told Xun Heng about Lingbao Tianzun's entrustment.

After hearing this, Xun Heng's face turned from red to green and finally turned pale, unable to accept the statement that he and the ghost king were originally one.

Chao Xi comforted him: "It's God's will, don't think wildly, just treat it as a tribulation."

Xun Heng was very annoyed: "This is my calamity, but you are involved in it."

Chao Xi said: "We have worshiped before, should we still divide each other? I have seen Lingbao Tianzun, you can't refuse."

Xun Heng rubbed Chao Xi into his arms, and murmured, "What can I do, with you by my side."

Chao Xi bent his eyes and said, "When I first met you when I was young, it was love at first sight. I have you in every part of my memories in the Heavenly Palace. I missed the moment when you turned your hands into clouds and covered your hands with rain. From now on , I want to walk into your world, walk through the clouds and fog with you, and reach out to pick up the stars."

"it is good."

No amount of words can express Xun Heng's mood at the moment. He has been saving others, and now he has finally waited for someone to redeem him.
