When Linlang woke up, it was already more dewy. Zhong Jiu was not by her side, she got up slowly and slept for a while, but she didn't feel any better.

She sighed silently, thinking that she was not such a sick child at the beginning. Sometimes when I am infected with wind and cold, I also take a dose of medicine, sleep happily, and still live the next day. Now, she has a weak breath all day long, her face is pale and without a trace of blood, and she really looks terminally ill.

She straightened the crumpled hem of her skirt and looked around to see a small door beside her. She went in through the small door, pushing it open.

Behind the door was a small courtyard, which she had never been here before. It turned out that there was no cave, the yard was clean and tidy, and there was a long corridor that led to nowhere. There are countless red lanterns hanging on the eaves of the corridor, and the lights are brilliant at night, and the little faces that are illuminated are flushed, and the improvement seems to be much better.

There are many large and small potted plants under the corridor, and many flowers that cannot be named. With her hands behind her back, she walked leisurely, curiously touching this and looking at that, her excitement palpable.

There was a pot that attracted the attention of Linlang, a blood-like flower, without leaves, which bloomed brightly and enchantingly under the soft light of the moon. She had never seen such a red flower, and it was so red that it frightened her heart.

She reached out and touched the thin petals, and her heart suddenly fluttered and beat out of rhythm. She stroked it to her chest, where it hurt like a pinprick.

Someone behind her put on a cloak for her, she hurriedly turned around, and when she saw that it was Zhong Jiu, she exhaled a long breath.

Zhong Jiu held her hand stroking the petals, frowned and said, "Your hands are so cold, if you don't stay in the house, you dare to run around."

Linlang raised her head and looked at him, and said angrily: "It's not because of you, you are not in the room, so I came out to look for you."

Her eyes were shining, and her smile curved in a nice arc. He couldn't help but caress her beautiful eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's all my fault, come back to the house with me."

Zhong Jiu grabbed her shoulders and was about to walk back, but Linlang grabbed her sleeve, pointed to the pot of gorgeous flowers and said, "Wait a minute, I forgot to ask you, what kind of flower is this?" How beautiful it is? ”

Zhong Jiu looked at the pot of bewitching flowers, and said casually, "The flowers on the other side."

Linlang laughed suddenly, and said in surprise and joy: "This is the flower on the other side?" The legendary flower that blooms on the other side of the underworld? It turned out to be like this, I should know, I once saw it in the Flower Chronicle. But didn't you say that it can only be opened in the underworld? And how did it come here? ”

Zhong Jiu didn't answer her words, but tightened the cloak on her body, and said lightly: "It's windy, go back to the house."

Linlang refused, she hadn't seen enough of the flowers on the other side. Zhong Jiu sank his face and said, "Wouldn't it be better to look at it tomorrow, what can you see in the middle of the night?"

Linlang can't beat Zhong Jiu in the end, not to mention that he has a point, and it's not too late to come back tomorrow to enjoy it.

They went back to the room together, and Zhong Jiu re-lit a stove of incense. Linlang stood beside him, watching him familiarly scoop a few spoonfuls of incense powder from a small porcelain jar and pour them into the incense burner. After a while, smoke came out of the stove.

The fragrance is overflowing, and there is a sweet taste. Linlang asked curiously, "What kind of incense is this?" The first time I saw you, you smelled like this, and it smelled so good. ”

Zhong Jiu put away the jar of incense powder, carefully placed it in a brocade box, and put it on the high bookshelf. He turned to look at Linlang and replied seriously: "This incense is called Drunken Flowers, because it is made by grinding the petals of some flowers, so it gets this name."

Linlang reached out and took a touch of the ethereal cigarette, put her finger on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, and then asked, "Oh, what flowers are used?"

"Sandalwood, peach blossoms, roses, lilies, lotuses, lilacs, and your favorite pear blossoms."

Linlang suddenly raised her head, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes: "How do you know that I like pear blossoms?"

Zhong Jiu seemed to be stopped by her question, and paused for a moment before saying, "I remember that you should have mentioned it to me before, so you only knew."

"Why don't I remember mentioning it to you?" Linlang has no impression at all, when did she mention to him that she likes pear blossoms.

Zhong Jiu walked to a table and sat down, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, took a sip lightly, and said lightly: "You have been sick recently, and you have not been very awake, so you may have forgotten it."

Linlang sighed, maybe, she seemed to have forgotten a lot of things because of the Lost Soul Gu.

"I can't imagine that you can make incense." Linlang couldn't hide her admiration and admiration for Zhong Jiu, even if she closed her mouth, it would come out of her eyes.

Zhong Jiu didn't seem to be very praised by her, his face sank slightly, and after a long time, he said faintly: "I didn't know it before, I also learned it from others." She makes many kinds of incense and enjoys it. ”

Linlang squinted her eyes and smiled: "Who is she?" Can you introduce me to me, I also want to learn the skill of making incense. ”

Zhong Jiu looked at her deeply and said in a deep voice, "She's no longer there."

"Huh?" Linlang was full of regrets, but he was not very happy to see Zhong Jiu, which seemed to arouse his sadness. Linlang whispered, "I'm sorry, I don't know."

Zhong Jiu suddenly smiled, and his thin lips opened lightly: "You can learn from me, when you are free, I will teach you how to make drunken flowers, okay?"

Linlang looked at Zhong Jiu's flickering face, and didn't know what it was like for a while, so she had to nod and say okay.

She vaguely felt that the person who was no longer there, who could make incense, was a woman. And in Zhong Jiu's heart, there is an indelible mark. She wanted to ask, but when the words came to her lips, she lost her courage again.

At night, Linlang fell asleep. Zhong Jiu sat on the edge of the bed and watched her for a long time, until he heard the wind chimes ringing in the backyard, he slowly got up and walked towards the backyard.

It is rare that Shen Tu is dressed as a rich son, holding a folding fan in his hand and one hand behind his back, looking noble and elegant. It is completely different from the Hades who are high up in the underworld, always exudes a cold aura, and has a dark temperament.

He was standing beside the flower on the other side, shaking a fan in his hand and a light smile on the corner of his mouth. Like the spring breeze, like the bright moon among the pines.

Zhong Jiu walked over and was about to salute, when Shen Tu stretched out his hand to stop: "This is not the underworld, and you don't have to abide by the rules of the underworld."

Shen Tu looked down at the flowers on the other side in front of her, and said with a smile: "It's just that she wants to see the flowers on the other side of the underworld, so you move one out, your affection is really so deep!" It's amazing. ”

Zhong Jiu lowered his eyes and whispered, "One hundred."

"What?" Shen Tu didn't seem to hear him clearly, and turned to ask him.

Zhong Jiu replied again: "I moved a total of 100 plants, and only this one survived."

After hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he pointed at him with a fan and said helplessly: "You destroyed my flowers like this in order to coax people, do you think I can't control you, don't you?"

Zhong Jiu raised his head and said, "When I asked you, you agreed."

"Did I say yes? Even if I agreed, who would have allowed you to move so much? You're going to exterminate my flowers, it's really inhumane. Shen Tu complained.

Zhong Jiu snorted and said, "Who asked you to cultivate these flowers so delicately, they will wither as soon as they arrive in the world." I planted an enchantment unique to the underworld here, so that the environment here is similar to that of the underworld, and this plant barely survived. ”

It's still to blame him, but Shen Tu didn't bother to argue anymore, and said, "Take me to meet that girl, I haven't seen her for hundreds of years, and I miss it."

Shen Di said half-truths, Zhong Jiu didn't want him to see Linlang in his heart, so he politely refused: "She is already asleep, and adults are not good to disturb her."

Shen Tu glanced at him, his expression did not change, but his voice was a little colder: "It's just that I'm asleep, so I want to see him." If she is awake, what if I see her eyes and have murderous intentions? ”

Back then, she glared at him fiercely with those big and bright eyes, and said to him disdainfully: "Shendi, feng shui takes turns, and it should be my turn to sit in the seat of the king of the underworld."

Zhong Jiu was shocked, afraid that Shen Di would really attack Linlang. Hurriedly led him to the house.

Most of the incense in the house has been burned, and the smell is much lighter. As soon as Shen Tu entered the door, he inhaled deeply and said with a smile: "I haven't smelled this drunken flower for a long time, and she liked this fragrance the most at that time." I begged her for it, but she said that it was incense that belonged to the two of you, and she would not give it to her. In the end, I was given a jar of red sleeves, saying that it was better than the drunken flowers. What do you say? Which incense is best? ”

Zhong Jiu was silent for a long time before he replied softly: "I have never heard of the red sleeve seal, and I have never used it, so there is no way to compare."

Shen Tu only smiled, didn't say anything more, and walked slowly to Linlang's bed.

Linlang slept comfortably, her brows stretched, and her breathing was shallow. Shen Tu took a closer look, and he looked much more well-behaved and quiet than he did then, and his appearance was more girlish. Because of the Lost Soul Gu, his face was slightly pale, and only his lips still had a little blood.

Shen Tu reached out to touch Linlang's collar, and as soon as he opened it a little, Zhong Jiu hurriedly grabbed his hand, glared at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The two of them were entangled, and Shen Tu gave up first, and said with a cold face: "I just looked at the other side flower on her chest, what are you nervous about?"

"Men and women don't kiss." Zhong Jiu said coldly, he tucked Linlang's collar and pulled the quilt up again until it completely covered his neck.

"Do men and women kiss or not? Who is a male? Shen Tu asked, raising an eyebrow.

Almost no one knew that Shen Tu was hermaphroditic, but Zhong Jiu did. Sometimes you can't just talk to him about men and women, and even if that's the case, you can't let him look at it easily. Zhong Jiu said, "That's not going to work either."

"Hehehe." Shen Tu sneered a few times and said, "I always want to know how far her flowers have bloomed, and whether it is uncontrollable." Midnight came and went without a trace, and we can't even find his base camp now. Do you want me to sit still? ”

Zhong Jiu was silent for a moment, held back the stuffy pain in his chest and said, "Linlang is here now, Ling Ye will come sooner or later."

Shen Di finally eased his expression, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You have done a good job in this matter, if it is done, it will have your own benefits."

Zhong Jiu said in a deep voice: "I don't want any benefits, I just want Linlang."

Shen Tu looked at Linlang, who was sleeping deeply, sighed and said, "Whatever you want, if she is still alive."

Shen Di walked out of the door with his hands behind his back, and turned around as soon as he arrived at the door, and said coldly: "Remember, if Ling Ye comes, catch him, and you don't have to send him to the underworld." I don't want to hear his name again in the Three Realms, and his final destination is to be wiped out. ”
