Well of Mystery

Now that Bai Xiuqi had made a decision, Jiang Chenglu nodded accordingly.

"I'll accept Lu Zhou for the time being. I'll wait for him to survive the catastrophe and be able to move freely, and then lock him up in the apartment to face the wall to practice. Whether it's decades or hundreds of years, in short, wait until he can Let's face our world squarely and let it out after it's completely harmless."

"Then there is Mr. Lao."

Bai Jiao thanked it for the last time, and then turned his gaze to Cuilian, who was always by his side, and Cuilian was also looking down at it, with sadness and tenderness mixed in his eyes.

Slowly, the two figures no longer wavered, maintaining the posture of cuddling each other and turning into stiff corpses.And the corpse turned into fly ash in an instant, and in a short while there was no trace to be found.

"When you get there, reform yourself, strive for meritorious service, and start a new life."

Jiang Chenglu sent a very familiar blessing to Fei Hui, and Bai Xiuqi coughed and couldn't help asking, "Are they reincarnated as animals?"

"not yet."

Jiang Cheng shook his head: "Before reincarnation, the civil servants of the underworld will conduct a public trial for their past actions. Just like the punishment in the human world is divided into two parts, civil and criminal, there are two kinds of punishment in the underworld, one is the punishment of hell, and the other One is the punishment after reincarnation. The specifics are very complicated, and I will explain it later."

"Don't, I don't want to hear it." Bai Xiuqi waved his hand: "I don't understand what you're explaining now."

Jiang Chenglu smiled, then reached out his hand to take out the roll of red thread from his pocket, and tied it around Lu Zhou's wrist.

"Go and save your catastrophe. After you're done, come find me at Xuanjing Apartment by yourself."

Lu Zhou looked down at the circle of red rope, knowing that he couldn't escape, so he just nodded in agreement.He took one last look at the scattered ashes all over the ground, and walked out with his head down.

The surroundings returned to silence, and it seemed that everything had settled down.Just as Bai Xiuqi wanted to ask if he could leave this stinking place, he saw Jiang Chenglu reach out and take out the two cattail kits that Lu Zhou had given him before.

"Don't forget you still have them."

As he spoke, he opened two kits, grabbed a handful of Puhuang, put it in his mouth, and muttered, then threw the powder into the air.In the next second, faintly glowing human figures began to crawl out of the scattered corpses on the ground.

Different from the dullness and silence when floating on the water, these ghosts seem to have just woken up from a big dream, at a loss and don't know where to go.

Jiang Chenglu cleared his throat to attract their attention.

"I know that you may have unfulfilled wishes during your lifetime. It's a pity that people and ghosts have different paths, and you will end up with strangers. Your road to reincarnation has been delayed for a long time, don't let the past hold you back, hurry up and get on the road."

As he spoke, he threw out another handful of dandelions.

As the powder fell little by little, those pale ghosts became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into bright balls of soul fire and floated towards the entrance of the cave.

The originally dark cave was suddenly illuminated like daylight. This may be the last glory of this ancient water temple after a hundred years.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as she was fascinated, Bai Xiuqi suddenly remembered something.

"And one last thing..."

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. After taking a shower, Li Kun lay down on the couch, holding the remote control in one hand, leaning against the pillow and drowsy.

The life and death of his friend are still uncertain in the depths of the swamp, and he also understands that he really shouldn't sleep, but the tossing last night and the running around during the day have overdrawn his lack of physical fitness.

Sleepiness is really not something that a weak-willed man like Li Kun can handle.

Before resting, he remembered that he had locked the doors and windows, and at the same time told the security guards to pay more attention to the corridor in front of the room.As for Jiang Chenglu and Bai Xiuqi, I believe that if they can't open the door when they come back, they will naturally call their cell phones or move to another place.

They'll be fine.But if even they have something to do, then no matter how worried Li Kun is...it doesn't seem to be of any use.

So rest, this is called doing one's best and knowing one's destiny.

Everything seemed so smooth and peaceful.But at the point where Li Kun was half asleep and half awake, the TV that was on in the room suddenly went silent.

kindness?what happened?

Li Kun thought in a daze, and opened one eye reluctantly, and found that the LCD TV hanging on the wall in front of the bed was not on.

Is it turned off, is there a timer?

He froze for a while, and finally regained consciousness.Suddenly, he felt something cold and hard pressed against his lower back.

Oh, it should be the remote control.It may be that he turned over unknowingly just now and pressed the button of the remote control.

He made a reasonable explanation in this way, and then reached behind his back, trying to dig out the remote control.But what he dug up was a cold human hand.

"Li Kun."

A familiar female voice suddenly rang close to his ear: "Turn back."

"..."

Li Kun didn't dare to open his eyes, let alone follow suit, and slowly curled himself up into a ball while maintaining a dozing posture.

"Li Kun!"

The woman yelled again, with a much higher pitch: "Aren't you a fucking man!"

I wish I wasn't - Li Kun responded inwardly, while maintaining a curled up posture, he began to roll towards the edge of the bed.

After a ninety-degree turn, he managed to roll off the edge of the bed and land on the carpet between the two beds.

There was no sound of footsteps in his ears, and Li Kun didn't dare to open his eyes to look.He was like a shrinking turtle, while closing his eyes tightly, he slowly stretched out his hands and feet, groping towards the door.

But he soon found a foot.

It was cold bare feet, one stepped on the floor, the other stepped on his back, the chill from the soles of the feet penetrated into his heart through the thin clothes.

Knowing that he couldn't escape, a line of defense in Li Kun's heart suddenly collapsed. He sobbed twice, and suddenly kowtowed tremblingly.

"Mandy, I'm sorry for you! I lied to you! Xiaobai is not my boyfriend! I made it up... Don't make trouble anymore, I really didn't know that something would happen to you..."

"Bai Xiuqi has already told me just now."

Wang Qingzhi's voice came from above his head coldly.

"I followed Bai Xiuqi here, just to make one thing clear to you: the reason why I came here to wait for you was not for revenge, but to find out whether you really like men, or just pure love. Lied to me. The people in the hotel told me that you like wild fishing, and I got lost while scouting the spot, and that's why I got stuck in the mud and lost my life."

When she said this, she suddenly paused, and let out two sighs that were unclear.

"Li Kun, you should have let me see how useless you are now, maybe none of this will happen."

"..."

Gradually recovering from the astonishment, various other emotions covered by terror finally began to surge into Li Kun's heart.

"Mandy, actually I..."

He tried to say something to the female ghost, but when the words came to his lips, they all turned into deep self-loathing.After a while, he let out a heavy sigh, mixed with the same three words over and over again.

"sorry Sorry……"

But what good is an apology for someone who has already lost a precious life?

"Forget it, anyway, I have tormented you and Bai Xiuqi, and he is still innocent. He wants me to let you go for his sake, and I agree."

Speaking of this, Wang Qingzhi's voice has become calm again: "But I have one last request - to take care of my parents instead of me."

"It must be... Don't worry."

Li Kun nodded his head quickly and anxiously, wishing he could make a small hole in the ground.

There was another hazy sigh from overhead.Li Kun, who didn't dare to open his eyes, suddenly felt a bright light outside his eyelids, and then the force that stepped on his back disappeared without a trace.

The chill that pierced his heart was clearly gone, but for some reason Li Kun had the urge to go limp and to cry.

Inexplicably, he remembered that when he was a child, there was a tortoise in his hometown in the country, which was taken by the old grandmother who was blind to use as a pad for the table legs, and the pad lasted for a whole year.Then one day, the unlucky turtle was finally found and rescued.But just a few days later, perhaps because the pressure on the body suddenly disappeared and could not adapt, it died instead.

Li Kun suddenly felt like that turtle.

So he maintained this tortoise-like posture, and paused on the ground for a while.Until I heard a rapid knock on the door from the entrance.

Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu, who were drenched by the heavy rain, came back. Under the dim light of the corridor, they looked no better than the legendary ghosts.

Although it is the end of May and the beginning of June, the suburbs in the late night rain are still so cold that your teeth chatter.So as soon as Bai Xiuqi entered the door, he rushed to the bathroom, grabbed two large bath towels, put one on his shoulders, and threw the other to Jiang Chenglu.

Jiang Chenglu's complexion looked a little more normal than Bai Xiuqi's. He took the towel and wiped it casually twice, and then began to push off the rain-drenched clothes.Li Kun on the other side finally recovered from Wang Qingzhi's sudden visit and began to ask about the details of the Water Temple.

The first half of the story is told by Jiang Chenglu, and the second half is completed by Bai Xiuqi after taking a hot bath.When the two of them finished cleaning up in their bathrobes, the three of them suddenly realized that there were only two beds in the room.

Without any discussion, Jiang Chenglu sat beside Bai Xiuqi very naturally.And Bai Xiuqi kicked off the slippers after drying her hair, and shrank to a position against the wall.

Just like the situation of the two of them in Xuanjing's apartment before this.

Li Kun couldn't help reminding: "You don't need to be so low-carbon and environmentally friendly, don't forget that the whole building up and down here is mine!"

In the end, in order to thank Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu, they sent Wang Qingzhi away and solved the old god.Li Kun decided to give the key to his suite on the top floor of this hotel with both hands, and they can stay as long as they want, they can stay here and enjoy fishing, forest oxygen bar, hot spring bath and many other funs.

Of course, all of this is based on getting a good night's sleep tonight.
