The god stood at the door of his dormitory with his hands tied, his long black hair tied only by a long streamer. The face is covered with a black veil, which adds a bit of mystery to the cold Hades. He was wearing a wide black robe, embroidered with fiery red patterns, which looked particularly gorgeous in the dark underworld.

Zhong Jiu lowered his head and stood beside him, hearing him ask casually, "The Lost Soul Gu has already descended?" ”

Zhong Jiu hummed in a low voice and didn't say a word. Shen Tu turned around and glanced at him, chuckling, "What? Do you regret it? ”

Zhong Jiu's eyes lit up, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "No regrets." ”

Shen Tu laughed a few times, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Duplicity." ”

With just four words, Zhong Jiu's heart stinged again, and he said that he didn't regret it was indeed false. But so what? Even if he regretted it, he could only do it. He didn't want her to die, he would rather she never remember that there was a Zhong Wu period, and he didn't want Bai Yingning to be in this world.

Shen Tu straightened the hem of his robe, sat down on the steps in front of the hall, stretched out his finger and pointed into the distance, and said to Zhong Jiu: "You see, this underworld is peaceful, and everyone is doing their job and living a stable and peaceful life. He glanced up at Zhong Jiu and continued, "Are we going to break such a peaceful life? ”

Zhong Jiu looked into the distance silently, feeling uneasy for a while, for the sake of the stability of the underworld, is it right to sacrifice Yingning?

A ghost staggered to a halt at a distance, and knelt down at the foot of the steps with his hands clenched into fists.

Shen Tu's eyebrows furrowed, and he said coldly: "What happened, panicked like this?" ”

The ghost cha gave a salute and said loudly: "Ling Ye killed a few of the guards and fled. ”

"What? That little ghost? "Shen Tu doesn't believe it, he has seen that little ghost, he doesn't have any spiritual power, he shouts every day to find his mother, and he smiles when he gives him something to eat, and he is clearly a young toothed baby, what ability can he kill a few ghosts.

The ghost said again: "When I brought him food today, he suddenly seemed to have changed his sex, and he was ruthless, and he didn't plan to stay alive at all. ”

Shen Tu and Zhong Jiu glanced at each other, and only then did they realize the seriousness of the matter. They hurried to the dungeon where they were held at night, and the door of the cell was a mess, and they had indeed experienced a bloody storm.

Walking further in, there were a few ghosts lying horizontally, and the prison that was locked up in the middle of the night had long been empty. Zhong Jiu went up to check, and his throat was all broken. One move is deadly, and the means are cruel and crisp.

Zhong Jiu looked up at Shen Di and wanted to say something. Shen Tu stretched out an index finger to his lips and whispered, "Go to my temple and say." ”

Before leaving, Shen Tu explained to the other ghosts, so that he would clean up here, and he would make his own arrangements for the rest.

When he arrived at the temple of the gods, Zhong Jiu finally couldn't help but speak: "It's like the means of the Night Monarch." ”

"Midnight, Night Monarch ......" Shen Tu chewed on these two names that were not very related to each other, and after a long time, he snorted coldly: "Very good, he actually went to the underworld to repair his spiritual power, and he was really bold and careful, it was really my Shen Tu who was easy to bully." ”

"Lord Hades, what are we going to do next?" Zhong Jiu asked.

Shen Tu suddenly smiled, his eyes fixed on Zhong Jiudao: "My period, what do you say?" ”

Zhong Jiu frowned, pursed his lips and did not speak. Shen Tu said, "You are so smart, you naturally understand what I mean. ”

Zhong Jiu didn't seem to hear, straightened his back, and still didn't say a word. Shen Tu finally said impatiently: "Yingning is the weapon of the Night Monarch, how can it not be our weapon. ”

Zhong Jiu's calm heart was finally no longer calm, and he said miserably: "I don't want to ......"

"You don't want to? In this situation, you can't afford not to want to. The fate of the underworld is now in your hands, to live or to perish, think about it. Shen Tu said coldly. Seeing that Zhong Jiu was still indifferent, he slowed down his attitude and said, "Yingning has already been poisoned, you have to make good use of it." If she falls into the hands of the Night Monarch, remembers the past, and then joins forces with the Night Monarch to deal with the underworld, there will be a lot of luck here. You have to make Ying Ning can't think of anything, and you have to make her think that the Night Monarch is a heinous devil, so that we will have a chance of winning. Don't forget, Yingning is also the cinnabar mole in Yejun's heart, and she has the most potential to be a chess piece. ”

Zhong Jiu spoke gloomily after a long time: "I can't bear to deceive her......"

Shen Tu smiled and sprinkled a handful of salt on his wound, "You have already lied to her, you have put a Gu on her." It is also her blessing to use her in exchange for the stability of the underworld. ”

Linlang has been feeling strange lately, her memory is getting worse and worse, and she often forgets what she has to do. When she was in school, she forgot the lectures she had heard, and she couldn't memorize the articles. Sometimes even Mu Qing can memorize it, but she can't, so she has suffered a lot of boards from her husband.

Cai Wei noticed her abnormality and asked Lang Zhong to treat her. It's just that after Lang Zhong came, although he felt that her pulse was vain, he didn't find any symptoms. It is only said that she may not have slept well and not rested well. She was prescribed some soothing medicine and let her boil it up.

After drinking a few doses, it didn't have any effect, but added headaches. Sometimes I feel like something is drilling around in my head. She couldn't even go to school, so she could only sleep in bed all day. She slept for half a day, and she slept so groggy that she couldn't remember anything.

That day and night, Linlang finished drinking the medicine and lay down early. Cai Wei accompanied her for a conversation, and when she saw that she was not in good spirits, she wiped her tears and left. Cai Wei was scared in her heart, Linlang's illness was getting worse and worse, and she always felt that her time was running out.

When Zhong Jiu came, Linlang's headache happened to attack. He hurried to her bedside and helped her to sit up.

Linlang covered her head and took a painful look, she thought it was Cai Wei, but she didn't expect it to be Zhong Jiu.

She leaned into his arms, held one of his little fingers, and whispered, "You haven't been here for a long time, are you done catching all the ghosts?" ”

Zhong Jiu took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a small pill, handed it to Linlang's mouth, and said softly: "Eat it, it will be better." ”

Linlang took his hand, obediently obeyed, closed his eyes and fell weakly in Zhong Jiu's arms, wrapped his hands around his waist, and said softly: "I thought I was going to die, and I was thinking about whether I could see you again, but I didn't expect you to come." We're smart, aren't we? ”

Zhong Jiu secretly gritted his teeth, hugged her tighter, rested his chin on the top of her head, and after a long time, he said, "You believe me, I won't let you die." ”

Linlang panted slightly, her eyes seemed to be fogged, and she hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly: "I believe you, I believe everything you say." ”

The grief in Zhong Jiu's heart permeated her whole body, she trusted him so much, but he couldn't treat her wholeheartedly, and he had to lie to her. You also want to use her as a pawn and let her be a weapon to attack the Night King.

Zhong Jiu stroked her black and shiny hair and sighed long to relieve the bitterness in her heart. He said, "If I lie to you, will you believe me?" ”

Linlang breathed in the good smell of smoke on his body, and smiled deliciously: "For the sake of you being so good-looking and good to me, even if you lie to me, I will forgive you once." ”

Zhong Jiu finally hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "A word is a certainty, you must not regret it." ”

Zhong Jiu's pill was indeed very useful, and she felt refreshed after taking one. Linlang asked Zhong Jiu for more, but he refused to give it. It is said that it is three points of poison, and it is not good to eat too much.

"I don't know how to eat it again, when I have a headache, I eat it." Linlang was dissatisfied, holding his arm and not letting go.

Zhong Jiu couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to break her fingers hard, but she grabbed close, and was afraid of hurting her. He said helplessly, "You let go of me first." ”

"You gave it to me before I let go."

"It's the medicine of the underworld, and it's not something you can just give if you want to. I still need to apply, and I need Hades' approval to get it. Don't make a fuss, you're still sick, and it's not good to get worse if you get worse. Zhong Jiu persuaded bitterly.

Linlang couldn't, so she had to let go of her, sighed and said, "What a precious thing, it's still so troublesome, your Hades really slammed the door." ”

Zhong Jiu lightly tapped her forehead and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is the rule of the underworld, and it is not the Hades King who has the final say." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't embarrass you." Linlang had no choice but to give up, and after a while she asked again: "Did you just come today to bring me medicine?" How do you know I have a headache? ”

Zhong Jiu helped her lie down on the bed and slowly explained the purpose of his trip. "Delivering medicine is one thing, and on the other hand, do you remember Midnight?"

Linlang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "That little ghost? Is he coming too? ”

Zhong Jiu shook his head with a calm face and said, "No, I came this time to inform you that Ling Ye is not what you see, pure and harmless. ”

"What do you mean? I don't understand. ”

"You remember when I told you that hundreds of years ago, there was a riot in the underworld. The leader is a man named Yejun, who is vicious and ambitious. Hell-bent on destroying the underworld and ruling it by itself. Later, he failed, was sealed with spiritual power by Xuannu, and locked in Jiuyin Mountain. Now he has escaped and appeared in the world. Do you know that he is the current Midnight? Zhong Jiu said in detail, but Linlang laughed out loud.

"Are you sure, just that little ghost, always following my ass and calling my sister Ling Ye?" Linlang doesn't believe it, what can that little ghost do? How could he be the Great Demon King of the Three Realms?

Zhong Jiu said with a straight face: "Linlang, I'm talking to you seriously, not joking." ”

Seeing that Zhong Jiu's face was not very good, Linlang realized that it was probably true. She smiled and said, "If what you said is true, then how did you find out?" Why didn't you know before? ”

Zhong Jiu said: "The Night Monarch's spiritual power is already above me, and he came to the world to absorb the souls of many people to improve his cultivation. I was deceived by him for a while, and if he hadn't killed a lot of the demons guarding him, I would have known almost nothing. ”

"He's so powerful? You tell me that you are afraid that he will come to me? Linlang raised her head, looked at him and asked.

Zhong Jiu touched her cheek and continued to reply: "I will definitely come to you, when he comes to you, you should be careful not to let him find out that you already know him." You don't believe a word he says, he is the best at rhetoric, and there is hardly any truth in his mouth. Even if you have any doubts about what he said, you must ask me for confirmation first. Do you remember what I said? ”

Linlang nodded heavily and said, "I remember, he is a bad person, I will definitely not be deceived by him." ”

Looking at her well-behaved and obedient appearance, Zhong Jiu wanted to smile at her, but in the end he didn't laugh. He only said lightly: "Just remember, I will be by your side to protect you and not let him hurt you." ”

After Zhong Jiu finished explaining, he was about to leave. Linlang grabbed his sleeve, bit his lip and said, "Can't you stay with me?" What if I get another headache? ”

"No, that pill will keep you from having a seizure for at least three to five days." Zhong Jiu replied.

Linlang raised her eyelids to look at him, and said in her heart that she was really a fool. Reluctantly, she slowly let go of her fingers and whispered, "Forget it, you can go." ”

Zhong Jiu reached out and touched her head, sighed in his heart, leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, then withdrew, smiled and said, "You are obedient, I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Linlang's heart beat like a drum, her cheeks were flushed, her fingers picked at the quilt, and she nodded shyly and said hello. When she raised her head again, Zhong Jiu was gone.
