Chapter 18. Four Seasons upstairs

The road to Shangqiu is full of traps and ambushes of demon spirits of various ethnic groups, demon beasts and ghost animals according to their respective levels of mana, conjuring into different types of psychedelic objects to confuse the people to be fooled, demon beasts are good at transforming into shapes, often turning into a river, a wild stack, a bamboo forest or the entire foothills, once the living strayed into it, it is into the mouth of the demon; ghost animals are good at turning into things, they sometimes turn into livestock, donkeys and horses, sometimes turn into pet rats and ants, silently mingling around humans, and they are not prepared to absorb the yang energy. Luo Xuan and Nie Xiaofeng walked along the way, and they had to use the Immortal Sword to get rid of more than a dozen demons in every city and place they passed.

In this way, it took a lot of time along the way, and when the two of them arrived at the foot of Shangqiu City, it was the evening of the third day, only to see that the entire Shangqiu City was heavily guarded with guns and ammunition, heavily guarded, and full of guards with spears and shields.

In the past three days, the two of them have seen all the wreckage of the deserted city, and the bones are everywhere, and now they have finally come to a living, human pool city with the people in mind, and they can't help but be a little excited, and now speed up their pace to the city, waiting for the door to open.

As soon as the guards at the city gate saw them, they raised their hands behind them, Luo Xuan's nine senses of immortal consciousness suddenly felt bad, and he hurriedly dragged Nie Xiaofeng to the side of the city gate, only to hear a sound of water, and two buckets of swarthy and hot dog blood poured down from the city wall.

Nie Xiaofeng was fortunately dragged aside by Luo Xuan, only a little black dog blood was stained on her skirt, she just stepped forward and said angrily: "We are human!" I heard a pot of black dog blood poured from the diagonal again, and it drenched her in soup.

"Xiaofeng!" Luo Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, and the sound of the fourth basin of water hit the ground, and he was also splashed with blood.

The two of them were soaked in the blood of a wet black dog, standing under the gate of the city wall, both stunned, but they heard a middle-aged aunt shouting loudly: "Okay! They are people, let them go!"

The city gate opened, Nie Xiaofeng hung his head and shook his arms, and walked straight into Shangqiu City, Luo Xuan followed behind him and said in a panic: "It's frozen, I'll 。。。。。。 ”

"Don't touch it!" Nie Xiaofeng burst out of his teeth: "If the immortal art is seen by people, they must think that we are some kind of monster, do you want to drench the dog's blood again?!"

Luo Xuan was robbed by her, and sure enough, he didn't move anymore, and the two of them went to report to the Four Seasons Building in Guangji in the city under the guidance of the people all the way.

Four Seasons Building is the largest inn in Shangqiu City, now more and more people from all over the city are pouring into the city, the owner of the Four Seasons Building sits on the ground and rises in price, an ordinary wing room costs thirty taels of snowflake silver, most of the people can not afford to live, they have moved to several small inns at the city wall, so now the inn in the whole city is only Four Seasons Building and there are a few guest rooms.

Luo Xuan took Nie Xiaofeng, who was not good-looking, to the counter and asked for two upper rooms, but was robbed by the shopkeeper who was plucking out his ears: "When do you want two rooms? The other guests don't stay? We have one room for eight people here! You two only have one, don't pull it down!"

On the fourth floor, Nie Xiaofeng kicked open the door, entered the room, and began to take off his coat without saying a word, Luo Xuan hurriedly closed the door, put the two of them on the table, stepped forward to take her coat and said with a smile: "Dog blood is dog blood, it's better than a boy's pee!"

Seeing that her underwear was covered with bright red dog blood, Luo Xuan blew slightly in front of her, Nie Xiaofeng's body immediately changed into a new set of bare white silkworm clothes, she looked at her body, her face warmed up a little, Luo Xuan also took off his coat, casually dusted off the stains on his underwear and said: "I will take these two coats to wash off the store, the people who have just entered the city must be like this, we have to pretend to be mortals, we have to be presentable." ”

After Luo Xuan left, Nie Xiaofeng sat by the window with his neck on his back and looked at the guest room opposite, only to see a young couple busy in the guest room opposite, and they also took off each other's clothes, and the man went downstairs to wash. Nie Xiaofeng was in a trance for a while, seeing the woman sitting in the room and arranging her hair in the mirror, she vaguely felt that the person looking in the mirror seemed to be herself.

Suddenly, Nie Xiaofeng saw a pair of blue and white young ghost hands coming from the front and back, hugging the woman's neck, the woman got up and walked to the table to pour two cups of hot tea, but she didn't notice the little ghost hanging on her chest, and sat down and began to drink tea.

Gradually, the soul of a tall man appeared next to the woman, the male ghost was thick and thick, and seemed to live on physical strength before his death, Nie Xiaofeng saw that the man was trying to hold another cup of hot tea poured by the woman, but a pair of ghost hands couldn't hold the teacup, the male ghost had to lean down, and lowered his head to sniff the fragrance of the cup of hot tea.

This is the most common appearance of the soul in the human world to eat the food of the yang world, Nie Xiaofeng is now the left phase of the underworld, and he has long been accustomed to seeing the ghosts of all beings, and he is no stranger to this. The little ghost who had been hanging on the woman's chest did not give up, he sucked left and right on the woman's chest with his blue and gray mouth, suddenly bit and did not move, desperately sucking yang energy, the woman covered her chest suddenly, her face turned pale instantly, and she fell on the table sadly.

"Presumptuous!" Nie Xiaofeng patted his desk and shouted, the Immortal Sword stomped on the ground by itself, and suddenly raised his head vigilantly at the two ghosts in the room, and when he saw that in the opposite room, the Immortal Treasure Sword was agitating, Nie Xiaofeng was sitting and staring at them, full of immortal true qi leaking, so frightened that the two ghosts suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in her direction.

Nie Xiaofeng's thought moved, and the sword qi of the Immortal Sword had already brought the two ghosts to her room, and they both knelt at her feet.

"Now that you have died, why don't you report to the underworld, but stay here to harm people?" Nie Xiaofeng asked sharply.

The old ghost kept kowtowing: "Forgive our sins! The woman in the room is my son's mother, and she is the one who is... I also took my son to the underworld to report grievances, but if there is a big chaos today, there is not even a Yama prince in the ten halls, and no one accepts the grievances of my father and son, so the ghost pawns let me decide on my own, so I had to take my son back to find his mother, just to ask the truth, she disliked me and abandoned me, why is she so ruthless that she doesn't even let go of her own children?"

Nie Xiaofeng's eyebrows furrowed, and she mentioned it, and brought up the reincarnation book in the woman's soul in the next room, she opened the reincarnation book and quickly browsed it, a pair of eyebrows couldn't help but get denser and denser, and the more angry she became, after a while, she snapped and shook off the woman's reincarnation book, and said angrily: "How can this be true! There is such a ruthless mother in the world?!"

Luo Xuan happened to push the door in with a tea cake tray, and was almost hit by the reincarnation book that smashed in his face, he saw the vision in the room, put down the tea tray and said, "What's wrong?"

The reincarnation book of the woman in the next room automatically jumped into his hand, Nie Xiaofeng frowned and said nothing, for a long time, when she saw Luo Xuan close the reincarnation book, she asked, "Jun, what do you think?"

Luo Xuan frowned and said: "If it is really a murder of parents and children, it is indeed a defeat of humanity." ”

Nie Xiaofeng got up angrily, the Sword of the Immortal suddenly buzzed and jumped, suspended in mid-air, the true light of the sword turned into a silk, and he saw that he was about to die on the spot to the woman who was still unconscious in the next room, but unexpectedly, the male ghost chased after him, knelt in front of the Sword of the Immortal with a pop, and kowtowed to Nie Xiaofeng again and again:

"I only ask you to take her soul and give it to my father and son, but I don't want you to let her soul fly away! After all, she is my son's own mother, and I have never treated her before, all of this is unjust, my father and son have been staying here continuously these days, and I just want to suck her yang energy as soon as possible and take her away to fly away, and I never want to harm her courage!"

Nie Xiaofeng's eyes widened, and she said incredulously: "But she has killed your life! Don't you want to take revenge?!"

The soul man knelt up straight, and said with a sigh of relief: "The two immortals don't know, my wife is the daughter of Luoyang City, she has been knowledgeable since she was a child, and she is famous far and wide, and then because of the Mongol soldiers trapped the city, my wife sold herself to bury her father on the way to exile, and married me with seven taels of silver, and I only knew how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble at that time, and I never treated her well, and even pawned her to a brothel as a night flower slave when she was pregnant with Liujia to repay gambling debts. Unexpectedly, that night, my wife met this down-and-out scholar, who also came to the brothel to buy a night of wine because of the misfortune of his family and the removal of the gold list. Later, I partnered with others to steal the weapons of the dead soldiers on the battlefield, sold them, made a fortune, and opened my own blacksmith field, then I realized how important my wife's literacy was, and I began to look at her more and more, but I began to regret that she had suffered a lot of grievances, but what I didn't know was that she had secretly corresponded with the scholar for a long time, and was ready to abandon me. ”

At this point, the man's voice gradually turned low and painful: "She thought that she was grateful that the scholar had not fallen into the well when she was most depressed and helpless, and opposed him to have feelings, and I was originally a rough person, and there was no consensus with her everywhere, that night, I took my son to the blackfield to watch the night stone refining, but I bumped into my wife and the man in the scene of a tryst, the two of them told me that they were going to break up, I didn't believe it, I held my son to drive the man, but my wife pushed into the molten steel... ”

"It was you who grabbed the scholar and wanted to throw him into the molten steel, and your wife pushed you by mistake in a hurry, so that you and your son would die in the water, is it true?" Hearing the male soul say this, Luo Xuan interrupted him in a deep voice and put the woman's reincarnation book on Nie Xiaofeng's table.

When the male soul heard this, he immediately bowed his head and was silent.

"You used to treat your wife very lightly and disdainfully, causing your wife to empathize with others, and that night, when she saw that you were going to hurt the person she loved the most, she pushed you into the molten steel by mistake. Now it is not impossible for you to seek her life, but you must know that everything is cause and effect, and you yourself must be responsible for the fate of your father and son today. ”

While Luo Xuan was talking, the door of the next room creaked open, and a pure white scholar walked into it with a fruit basket, and when he saw the woman lying on the table, he immediately panicked, the fruit basket fell to the ground with a thud, and the melons and fruits rolled around, and the scholar pounced forward and called the woman's name again and again, pinching her.

As soon as the male soul saw the scholar appear, his fists were suddenly clenched into hammers, and a three-foot blue and black yin fire appeared on his head, and he glared viciously at the opposite room, and the little ghost raised his head and hugged his thighs tightly, and his gaze seemed to be appeased.

Luo Xuan sighed secretly, bowed his head and said to the male soul: "Let it go! She didn't mean to kill you, and you are not a very good husband, you have already broken off your husband and wife relationship when you sold her to a brothel." Things in the world are like this, a mistake or a thousand opportunities may not be undone, just when you are destined for her for the rest of your life, let her go well, and let yourself go. ”

Nie Xiaofeng looked at Luo Xuan in response, if he hadn't observed it strictly, he hadn't noticed many details in the reincarnation book when he read it for the first time, and he almost killed the woman on the spot.

The male soul looked back at the woman who was rescued by the scholar, the woman was withdrawn from the body because of the reincarnation book, she was dazed and speechless, and the scholar was busy patting her on the back, pinching her in the middle of the person, calling out repeatedly, so anxious that she was close to tears, thinking that it had been like this for several days.

The male soul in the room looked at the woman silently for a long time, turned around and kowtowed to Luo Xuan and Nie Xiaofeng three times, and the little ghost followed him, Nie Xiaofeng saw that the reincarnation book on the table automatically flew up, and threw back the body of the woman in the next room with a "boom".

As soon as the book entered, the woman suddenly woke up, and she gasped out a long breath of air from her throat, as if someone had choked her neck for a long time, and the scholar also cried with joy.

The man led the little ghost to get up, looked back again, and the father and son turned into two blue and black lights, and both of them drilled into Nie Xiaofeng's sword of the Immortal Soul.

Luo and Nie glanced at each other and sighed at the same time.

That night, the rain began to fall heavily, and the autumn rain became heavier and heavier, mixed with lightning and thunder. Nie Xiaofeng tossed and turned in the room, unable to sleep, Luo Xuan made a bunk in front of her bed, lying motionless in the dark.

Nie Xiaofeng lifted the quilt, poked his head out of the bed tent and asked in a whisper, "Jun, Jun, are you asleep?"

There was silence in the room, Nie Xiaofeng crossed his arms and cushioned his chin, leaned on the head of the bed and said, "You... When you died, were you afraid?"

No one answered, she sighed and began to talk to herself: "Actually, I was scared at that time, my head still hurts now, when I was in the underworld before, on a rainy day like this... It will hurt endlessly, and I can't imagine that now that I am a human being again, this headache has also been brought over. ”

"When people were still human, they really didn't know that there would be such a big world and such a long life after the destruction of the body, until the moment I entered the underworld, I really understood a sentence I read when I was a child, Fang is born and dies, and Fang is dead and alive. Nie Xiaofeng tilted his head and boredly fiddled with the mosquito net hook hanging from the eaves of the bed.

"You say, 'What does the future hold?' they all said... Luo Xuan had already escaped from the Underworld, and if he knew that I had sealed him and my father in the Lower Plains for a thousand years, would he have said that he had such a bad temper, would he be so angry that he would come to me for revenge? Cao Jun said that he was an evil Buddha, what is a bad Buddha? How could a person like him become a Buddha?"

"Alas, I have a headache that I can't sleep, and you don't pay attention... Nie Xiaofeng muttered softly, his voice getting lower and lower, and the more he spoke, the slower he became, but it was also strange, it seemed that the headache could not be said, and it was gone as soon as he said it.

If all the bad things in the world can be like this, and they disappear when they are spoken, then everything is truly all right. As she thought vaguely, a small hand hung down from the edge of the bed, and she quickly fell asleep.

There was an autumn thunder outside the window, and the whole wing room was illuminated instantly, Luo Xuan got up from the bunk, he sat down at the head of Nie Xiaofeng's bed, straightened her body hanging on the edge of the bed and leaned on it in his arms, and a gurgling light rose in his palm, gently covering Nie Xiaofeng's skull top wound.

Nie Xiaofeng muttered two sentences in his sleep, not knowing what to say. A series of autumn desolation thunders seemed to explode outside the window, Luo Xuan looked down at the girl in his arms, his big palm slowly slid down her face, and his strong thumb stroked the curve of her jaw back and forth, gentle and repeated, greedy, and gradually stopped at her delicate two petals.

A fireball passed in front of the window, the room was bright, and in an instant it fell into the darkness with no fingers visible, Luo Xuan mustered up his courage and slowly leaned down.

The heart suddenly cracked, and the peach blossom nail "swished" into the narrow heart, Luo Xuan shouted "oh" and lifted his waist suddenly.

He settled his mind, accumulated enough medical immortal true art, and then gurgled into the fusiform wound on the top of Nie Xiaofeng's head, and the medical thaumaturgy of the seven realms of mountains and seas turned into the true light of the veins in his palm, dyeing the high windows outside the Four Seasons Building bright.
