Chapter 3 The Netherworld

He Wenming sat here just to wait for this soft voice.

He Wenming shook his head and pretended to be very sincere and said, "Brother can't guess." ”

"Hmph! I obviously called myself my brother when I knew it. ”

An eleven or twelve-year-old girl pouted and walked up to He Wenming from behind. The girl has a melon seed face, big eyes, and is wearing a light blue floral dress like a little fairy, and she looks like a beautiful embryo at first glance.

After expressing his emotions, the original dissatisfaction on his face suddenly turned into a bright smile: "Sixth brother, happy birthday!"

She is the ninth miss of the He family, He Tian'er.

If there is anything in this family that is really worthy of He Wenming's concern, it is only this youngest sister. He Tian'er has also liked to play with He Wenming since she was a child, and she always said that the sixth brother has a light taste that she likes.

Since He Tian'er can remember, they have spent every birthday together, which seems to be a tacit agreement between them.

The little girl asked expectantly, "Brother, I wish you a happy birthday, do you have any gifts for me?"

Looking at this girl's lazy appearance, He Wenming couldn't help laughing: "How can anyone ask for a gift from a birthday person." ”

The little girl shook her head seriously: "That's not good, you don't give me a gift." I'm not going to wish you a happy birthday. ”

He Wenming was really reluctant: "Okay, okay, what do you want?"

The little girl succeeded in her conspiracy, and happily said while jumping in circles: "I want to hear you tell me a story, and after listening to Journey to the West, I will change it this time." ”

What are you kidding, Feng Shen has finished speaking, and what do you want to hear after listening to Journey to the West? You can't tell her about Dream of Red Mansions, he hasn't finished reading that thing in his previous life.

"Not for now, but there are two happy things to hear to you today. ”

"Mm-hmm, that's fine!"

"Today the clan gave me back my companions. ”

"That's great, it's better if we don't need it ourselves than with the bad guys. After speaking, he waved his small fist fiercely, "What about the other one?"

So He Wenming told her about the scene he watched today.

"Eighth Sister is really bad enough, he just wants you to fight with the second brother, and then you can let the seventh brother go. ”

"Leave them alone, we just be ourselves. He Wenming said lightly.

"I always felt that there was no good person in this family. After finishing speaking, the little girl probably felt that she had hit her brother next to her, and added: "Except for you, hehe." ”

"I think the third aunt is good, both for me and for you, if she hadn't said a few words to the second lady over the years, maybe how would I have to fix me. ”

"She's nice to me, but I just don't like her very much. Speaking of which, the little girl herself is a little puzzled.

That's probably a matter of personal preference.

Suddenly, He Wenming remembered something: "You don't seem to be resting today, right?"

The little girl's expression flickered a little and said, "No, no." You're mistaken, I'm just resting today. In the end, he turned his head away and didn't dare to look at him.

Seeing the cute appearance of the little girl, He Wenming couldn't help but touch her head.

The little girl suddenly turned her head and asked seriously: "Sixth brother, one day I was really bored with my family and wanted to leave here, can you accompany me?"

He Wenming smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, I don't have any attachment to this family." I've never felt like there's any family in this family, and even if there is, I don't think it belongs to me. ”

After receiving the answer, the little girl was happy again.

"Well, then. Whoever repents is the puppy. She held out her little hand.

"Pull the hook!" he held out his big hand.

The brother and sister have two hands, one big and one small, and make a seemingly unimportant agreement.

Accompany this girl to play with He Wenming's pirated table game until late, and then send her back.

When he returned to his yard, he was already sleepy, so He Wenming lay on the bed and prepared to fall asleep. Although no one in the entire He family remembered his birthday, including the third aunt who was very good to him on weekdays, at least the little sister he cared about the most still remembered, and that was enough.

Before I knew it, I was already chatting with Zhou Gong, and in the dark room, only the Manzhu Sawa was left emitting a faint reddish light.

I don't know how long I slept, He Wenming slowly opened his eyes, lay on the bed and stretched his waist, ready to welcome the new day in the best condition.

Suddenly, he jumped up.

Although his yard and house are a little more simple than those of his other siblings, they are still glazed tiles, not the grass hut above his head.

Was the home stolen, or was it ....... Someone stole me?

When he calmed down, He Wenming felt that he was still stolen by someone.

This house was not at all the same as the room before him.

Thatched huts, mud walls. It is estimated that the poor who build a house cannot afford even a brick. Calculated by the area of the previous life, this house is only more than 20 square meters, and it is too much to give 30.

There was a bed in the corner, which was now being stepped on by He Wenming's feet, and there was a wooden board hanging on the wall behind him, and a white paper was pasted on it, without words, as if it was a bit of a plaque.

Using paper as a plaque, it's the first time I've seen it in two lifetimes, which is really shabby.

The only thing of value in the room was a desk, which was the only piece of furniture in the room besides the bed. But this is certainly not for reading books, because not only is there no book in this house, but there is not even a chair.

Outside the house, the pale red sky was like a sunset after rain. He Wenming couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

Looking around, this thatched hut was built on a wasteland, and this wasteland was more than a hundred square meters in size, and there was nothing else except this broken house.

Beyond this wasteland was a circle of cyan mist, flashing red lightning from time to time.

It is the blue and red qi between heaven and earth, representing yin and yang. There's a nice name there: Qing Ming.

According to ancient legends, the continent of the human world is surrounded by the sea, and the sea is surrounded by green and dark worlds. It is a division of the realm, and only the heaven-level masters are qualified to access this green and underworld qi.

In the realm of heaven, you will die if you touch it!

Looking around at nothing suspicious, He Wenming felt that he still had to look carefully for clues in the house. As a result, when I returned to the house, I was taken aback.

There was suddenly an extra book on the desk, which had nothing at all, and a flower pot was embedded in the corner of the table, which was planted with flowers from the other side. Unlike before, the six pairs of leaves are gone, and the flowers, which have not changed at all for fifteen years, have finally bloomed into a small bud, which you can't find if you don't look closely.

The flowers bloom without leaves.

No wonder the sky is pale red, presumably this place should have something to do with the shattered Netherworld.

When I approached the table, I realized that not only the table top had changed, but also the table itself. There were five notches on the table, named after five elements, and there were ten scales on each notch, which made He Tianming a little inexplicable.

He Wenming faced the current situation, thought for a moment and bowed to the pot of flowers: "Senior, I know that these changes are related to you, if there is anything you command." ”

He Wenming waited patiently for a moment, but there was no response.

So he went out for another walk and came back, and found that nothing had changed.

Do you need me to read this book?

So He Wenming opened the book "Soul Fire", which seemed to be a spell.

He Wenming said casually: "If you just want me to practice spells, why don't you send me back first, anyway, ......"

Before he finished speaking, it was dark in front of his eyes.

The next moment, He Wenming opened his eyes and saw that the roof he was familiar with was no longer the unfamiliar grass hut, and laughed happily.

By this time it was already dark.

glanced at the book of "Soul Fire" that was still in his hand. He Wenming hurriedly got out of bed and came to his flower pot with an arrow step. Sure enough, as I thought, the buds appeared, the leaves all fell off, and many of the twelve leaves were in the pot.

It's a good thing that there is a change in one's companion spirit object, but there is a change as soon as it is handed over to oneself, and it will definitely be seen by the eyes of those who have a heart. Murder may not happen, but treasure snatching will happen, especially the cautious second lady, who can't wait to give all the good to his son.

Thinking of this, He Wenming felt that it was better to put away these twelve leaves first, after all, it was the second-ranked leaf among the ancient immortal trees, and it was also very valuable.

In the process of cleaning up the leaves, my hand accidentally touched the flower, but I didn't expect it to be as crisp as noodles, and the flower stem was directly broken in half.

This can be a jump for He Wenming.

He picked up the flower in confusion, and after a closer look, he found that the essence of the flower was long gone, and now there was an empty shell left.

Before the sky was fully bright, we needed to think of a foolproof plan.

The day finally dawned, and He Liushao's maidservant girl walked out of her hut and was about to sweep the yard first according to the custom, when she saw He Wenming alone in the yard, with a wooden basin in front of him, which seemed to be washing something, and from time to time there was a splash of water.

When the maidservant got closer, she saw that He Wenming still had his flower pot next to him, but the flowers inside were missing. In the pot was a flower stem broken in half, one of which was clearly visible, and twelve leaves were floating around it.

The maidservant asked differently, "Sixth Young Master, what are you doing here?"

He Wenming glanced at her and said lightly: "I don't think this thing wants to be taken away, so it's better to use it yourself." It's time for you to get up, go to the kitchen and get me a casserole for decoction, and by the way, have someone bring some firewood. ”

"Oh, oh, okay. I'll go. The maidservant walked out briskly, as if something great had happened.

He Wenming watched her disappear into his field of vision, quickly collected the leaves in the water one by one, and took out twelve ordinary leaves prepared in the morning from his arms and sprinkled them into the water.

Anyway, the leaves are almost the same, and you shouldn't be able to see it with the eyes of this servant.

So that night, the entire He family knew that He Liushao had boiled and drunk his companion spirit objects as medicinal herbs, and I heard that even the remaining medicinal residues were swallowed in their stomachs.

The Third Lady's Office

Hearing this news, the third lady, who had always taken care of him a lot, couldn't help but worry about He Wenming: "This stupid boy, how can he be so reckless and lose his life at all? ”

Second Lady's Office.

A middle-aged beautiful woman sits on a chair, her eyes are slender and her cheekbones are slightly protruding, although the years have left marks on her face, her figure is still well maintained, not bloated, and has a unique charm.

He Ershao sat in her lower position, holding the note that the subordinate had just sent.

"Sheng'er, do you see it? That little thing is really decisive, and I actually ate it. ”

"Mother, what can he do if he eats. For so many years, even the people sent by my grandfather didn't see anything unusual, and that thing shouldn't be a natural treasure. Don't take this kind of trivial matter to heart. ”

"Well, I originally wanted to secretly get it back for you, since you don't care, let him go. After speaking, the second lady picked up the tea beside her and took a sip: "By the way, the Tianli Sect has been making more and more trouble recently, did I let you find the person you were looking for?"

"Don't worry, my cousin is watching him. ”

"That's good, if you make meritorious contributions in this matter, you will definitely be able to overpower your eldest brother when you inherit the head of the family in the future. ”

"The child knows. Why did you let your cousin watch him, for fear of a storm?"

"Leave this alone, go back first. ”

The boy retired. ”
