Half Demon and Half Mountain

In the end, Ah Gui asked Huan Le to borrow his mobile phone, made a phone call with Study, and agreed that Ao Yu would come to Xizi Hutong with a blue cloth package.

He was calm throughout the whole process, not at all nervous about being approached by someone, or excited about finally meeting an old friend.It was Cen Shen's reaction after learning about the incident that made him almost jump.

"Am I so bad in your hearts?" Agui squinted, "Why don't you think that maybe I was persecuted by the other party?"

Cen Shen and Huan Le looked at each other and shook their heads together.

Agui was so angry that he decided not to talk to these two monsters until the turtle came to the door, and let them suffocate to death.But if he didn't say anything, Cen Shen and Huan Le really didn't ask, as if they had lost the most basic curiosity.

The world is cold.

Agui lamented, and ran back to the fish tank to tease the goldfish to relieve the loneliness in his heart.

Cen Shen and Huan Le still stayed on the veranda, sitting side by side, as if basking in the moonlight romantically.But if you listen carefully, you can find that there is nothing romantic about their conversation.

"Can this enchantment work?" Cen Shen asked.

"It should be possible." Huan Le threw away the branches in his hand, clapped his hands, and said, "Since those two people can be invited in by the fourth master, they shouldn't be some vicious people. We just need to prevent them from fighting if they disagree. .”

"What do you think... what is Agui's identity?"

"He knew my grandfather, and he is so mysterious, maybe it has something to do with Suzaku."

A Gui is full of lies, she is the type who does not cry when she sees the coffin, Huan Le thinks it is more reliable to wait for those two to come to the door tomorrow and ask them.

"Don't worry, the soldiers will come to cover you with water and earth. If there was any danger, Agui would have fled long ago." Huan Le put his arms around Cen Shen's waist, put his head on his shoulder, and finally couldn't help complaining: "Even if he could I won’t be able to climb out of Xizi Hutong until tomorrow morning.”

The next day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the two guests arrived late.

It was still Huan Le who opened the door to greet the guests. His eyes swept over the fruit basket in the hands of the mighty man, and he confirmed that the two people really came to visit, so a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.But he didn't invite the person in directly, but stretched out his hand politely, and asked rudely, "Where's the package?"

The package was on the back of the burly man, and he took it off and handed it to Huan Le without hesitation, saying, "Return it to its original owner."

Huan Le raised his eyebrows and weighed the package. Seeing that the attitude of the two was not bad, he dismissed the idea of ​​inspecting the goods face to face, and said sideways, "Please. Agui is inside."

"Ah Gui?" The big man raised his footsteps slightly.

"Aren't you looking for a turtle?" Huan Le asked back.

The big man and the beautiful woman in the cheongsam looked at each other, and the woman couldn't help but burst out laughing, put her hand on the big man's shoulder, and joked, "Are you sure he's really the one we're looking for?"

"Go ahead." The big man had no choice but to quicken his pace, as if he was also in a hurry to confirm Agui's identity.

The yard is very small, and it takes only two or three steps to get there.The sight of the big man and Agui who was lying on the veranda looked across the air, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

Nobody bothered.

After a long time, the big man bowed his hands to Agui, sighed and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Venerable Xuanqing, long time no see."

There was a momentary turmoil in Agui's eyes, but he quickly returned to calm, "I don't call that name a long time ago." After finishing speaking, those mung bean eyes looked at the beautiful banshee who was following behind.

"Who is this?"

"This is Su Xin, the little green snake in the Taiye Pond."

Su Xin smiled at A Gui, she is naturally charming.

Ah Gui remembered the little snake, but the other party hadn't been able to transform at that time.He thought it was Ao Hua's wife just now, but his heart was filled - over 1000 years later, I am still a single turtle, but you have already married a wife.

Ao Hua is the name of Aoyu, and like Su Xin, it was named after Suzaku.

Suzaku.

Ah Gui thought of this name again, and still felt sad in his heart.It seemed to be a dry well filled with weeds, gurgling and overflowing with water from an underground river, but among the overgrown weeds, buried bones were buried, and the scenery of the past could no longer be found.

The name of this dry well is - the death of Suzaku.

"You all came to me because you wanted me to go back. But now that the gods are dead, and Chang'an is no longer the same Chang'an as before, what else do you need me to do?" The indecency of the past has faded away, and now Agui has a little The appearance of an elder.

Ao Hua shook his head, "It is precisely because the gods are dead that we need jurisdiction. Chang'an has been mixed with dragons and snakes since ancient times, and monsters have gathered together, and it has gone through several dynasties. If Suzaku did not leave a projection to deter Xiao Xiao, there would be no peace. More importantly, , there are too many graves, and the yin is too heavy, those old ghosts are dancing on the Lishan graves every day, I need you to go back and calm down."

"Then you should go to Xingjun, he will take care of the dead." Agui didn't care.

"The zongzi that has become refined will not be accepted by the underworld." Ao Hua said with a blank expression.

Agui sighed, and said earnestly: "But look at me now, do I still have the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth? I'm just a very ordinary tortoise."

"Master Xuanqing, don't you need to say things to fool people?" Su Xin smiled slightly, and said in front of Ao Hua: "Everyone knows that you could have inherited Xuanwu's mantle, and with the power of your blessings, you can suppress a lot of people. It is not difficult to do it with the evil spirit of the earth.”

After the words fell, Ao Hua opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was stared back by Su Xin.She smiled, walked lightly in front of Agui, leaned slightly to look at him, and said, "Escape will never solve any problems. If Master Suzaku sees you like this, I'm afraid he will be extremely disappointed."

Agui looked at her and didn't speak.

Su Xin straightened up, blinked her eyes, and there was a touch of playfulness and cuteness in her charm, "Actually, if you go back with us, you will be destined to sit in the office. It's like the mythical beast in front of the city gate of Nanjing, and the tricks in small shops on the street. Wealthy cat, you don’t need to work outside, you have five social insurances and one housing fund, and you have annual leave.”

Ao Hua took a look at Su Xin, cleared his throat, and added: "The office is just under the clock tower, and I ordered a large glass tank for [-]% for you."

Agui: "..."

My dignified lord, do you treat me as a decoration?

Cen Shen and Huan Le had automatically switched to the melon-eating mode, quietly watching the three of them arguing.The expected big fight didn't happen, and Cen Shen felt relieved, it was just that Agui was captured and forced to become a civil servant in the demon world, to shine for the majority of his compatriots.

Ah Gui probably didn't want to go back, otherwise he wouldn't have followed Liu Qi to modern times and escaped so thoroughly.Cen Shen still insisted on the same principle as before, he didn't want to pry too much into Agui's privacy, and he fully respected Agui's choice.

Unexpectedly, although Ah Gui had a stubborn mouth, his attitude was not tough.At this time, he had already called Ao Hua to him, "Tell me about the situation in Chang'an."

Ao Hua nodded: "Okay."

Seeing that the two were talking, Su Xin consciously retreated to Cen Shen and Huan Le and chatted with them.She looked at the very young and energetic Huan Le with great interest, and said: "I never expected to meet the young master of Zhuque Terrace here."

"Is Suzaku Terrace still there?"

"It's long gone."

Huan Le is not surprised by such an answer, the world is changing, but the only constant is the land under his feet.But even though Suzaku Terrace was gone, he still cared about the city, "What happened to Chang'an? Are you short of manpower?"

"Yes, Chang'an has always been a special place. All kinds of forces are intertwined, big monsters and ghosts are old and strong, and there are obstacles everywhere. The Tang Dynasty is gone, and the Suzaku Tower has fallen. The group of monsters who followed Master Suzaku, Ao Hua and I are the only ones who are still alive."

In just a few words, it seems to be wrapped in more than 1000 years of wind and frost.

Agui, who escaped from these winds and frosts, is undoubtedly a cowardly person.But neither Ao Hua nor Su Xin had the intention of prosecuting the teacher.

At the end, Su Xin said again: "Ah Gui is different from the two of us. Ao Hua wants to become a real dragon but cannot, but I am just a little snake demon in the Taiye Pond. Only he has the blood of a divine beast and can inherit it." Lord Suzaku's mantle. If the two of you are willing, please help me with a few words of persuasion."

Over there, the conversation between Agui and Ao Hua was coming to an end. Ao Hua didn't seem to have persuaded Agui once, and left a message: "I can't leave for too long, and I will return within five days. Think about it carefully. In a few days Come find you again."

Ao Hua and Su Xin left, and the depths of Xizi Hutong returned to the calm of the past.

Agui is like a melancholy thinker, looking at the tall toon tree in the courtyard in a daze, wondering if he thinks of an old friend.Cen Shen and Huan Le played chess in the corridor, but they talked about the topic of divine beasts.

"That's about the same as the gods in the demon world." Huan Le concluded: "But in human myths and stories, gods and beasts are always their mounts and always play the role of being conquered. This is not very friendly."

Today's Huan Le is also a messenger of peace between the world of humans and demons.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen a portrait of Suzaku." Huan Le propped his chin and fell into memories.He remembered that when he was still in shape, he once mischievously broke into his grandfather's study and knocked over a basket of calligraphy and paintings.

The painting was hidden at the bottom, in a long box, and it was quite well preserved.

Huan Le was curious for a moment, so he opened the box, bit the front of the painting with his mouth and shook it, and a burning and bright woman appeared in front of him.

There was an inscription of his great-uncle on the painting, and he called her Aunt Suzaku.

My uncle is a bohemian old bachelor who loves freedom, and my second brother Huan Rong learned his paintings from him.So much so that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black, it is so big that there is no certainty.

Aunt Suzaku is very beautiful, wearing a fiery red feather coat and sitting on the high pavilion in Chang'an, with her slender feet hanging down from the black eaves, she is pure and coquettish.

Her shadow stretched from the gate of the palace to the end of Suzaku Street. It was a huge bird, free and enthusiastic, as if singing loudly all the time, until it bleeds to death.
