After joining Hades

As soon as Wen Bai left, Di Ting boiled a pot of tea, first filled half of it into the small teacup, then walked to the door, and turned back - this is not a small matter, and it was a waste of tea.

He simply carried the tea stove and leisurely walked to Lu Zheng's office.

"Dong Dong" knocked on the door twice, and Di Ting leaned lazily on the door with folded arms.

Lu Zheng only glanced up.

"It's not Wen Bai, so there's no need to be so disappointed, right?" Di Ting hooked the handle of the teapot with one hand and sat down on the sofa.

Kong Kong took out a teacup and drank tea by himself.

Seeing that posture, Lu Zheng knew that nothing good happened.

"Your land isn't enough for your tea, is it?" You must come to him.

"What's the point of drinking dry tea?" Di Ting looked at Lu Zheng and smiled, "It's because your life is so boring that you've been chasing people for so long."

Lu Zheng: "..."

"If you want to play a game, you can just say it."

"Where's Yuan Yuan?" Di Ting ignored him and asked directly.

He looked around, but he didn't see Wen Bai with a small lamp, he thought he would be at Lu Zheng's place, but there was no chubby lamp here.

Di Ting's gaze swept across the empty picture frame on the wall.

The little lamp was gone, and neither was the picture of the morning glory.

"Go out to bask in the sun?" It just rained two days ago, and the sun has been pretty good these two days. I heard that in the morning, Hua Ling had indeed been clamoring to go out to bask in the sun.

Lu Zheng finally responded: "Since you are idle and bored, go out and bring Wen Yuan back."

"It's still early," Di Ting glanced outside, "He just carried Wen Bai's paper doll back, and it will make a fuss when it bumps into it later."

"You know that too." Lu Zheng sneered.

Just because he loses his temper in front of Wen Bai doesn't mean he can also listen to Di.

It is one thing to break the fate, but it is another thing to know who the knife came from.

After all, this account has to be settled on Di Ting's head.

"It's best that nothing goes wrong with that paper man." Lu Zheng gave Di Ting a warning look.

If something really went wrong... "It just so happens that Qiang Qi's half of the yin mountain is put down and no one cares about it. If you are so caring, you can go and guard it for him."

Di Ting ignored the second half of the sentence and asked, "You don't like that child?"

Lu Zheng knew who the "that kid" Di heard was referring to, but he ignored it.

"I think it likes you very much."

Lu Zheng couldn't get used to Di Ting's appearance of having something to say in his words: "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Di Ting sighed inwardly.

He rested his chin and looked at Lu Zheng lazily.

If Wen Bai hadn't moved his heart, even if he gave this evil spirit another 800 years, it would be difficult to catch him.

"I heard from Wen Bai that the paper man is very close to you?" Di Ting immediately began to lie.

Wen Bai didn't say anything, but he guessed it, and he felt that his guess was pretty close.

It's a pity for Di Ting, if Lu Zheng hadn't put a restraint on Wen Bai's body to prevent him from listening to his heart and distinguishing sounds, he might have discovered something earlier.

Lu Zheng's hands paused.

Intuition told him that what Di heard was very important.

But he didn't understand why Di Ting kept mentioning that paper figurine repeatedly.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Lu Zheng put down the pen in his hand and raised his head.

"When Qiang Qi asked me to give this saber to Wen Bai, he reminded me of one thing." Seeing that Lu Zheng's tone was serious, Di Ting accepted it as soon as it was ready, "He said to sharpen the saber... that is to do When making the first paper figurine, it’s best to pick a suitable time, calm your mind, and avoid distracting thoughts.”

"I don't know what the paper figurines look like when the mind is calm," Di Ting's tone changed, "but when the mind is not calm, I probably know what the paper figurines look like."

Lu Zheng frowned.

Di Ting continued: "Do you still remember what you said when you met Wen Bai at the beginning of Yuan Yuan? You said it liked Wen Bai."

"Naturally close, because Yuan Yuan was placed by Wen Bai himself, and the half of the bamboo branch is still stained with Wen Bai's blood."

"It's you who raised it, and Wen Bai who 'gives' it, so it's so close."

"You should be very clear that this kind of spiritual and feminine things recognize the owner," Di Ting slowly poured himself another cup, "but this paper figurine has nothing to do with you, but it is so close to you, have you ever thought about why? ?”

The possibility in Di Ting's words made Lu Zheng's heart slowly burn.

He didn't care about that thing before, and the fat lamp has been raised for thousands of years, and he is also used to this kind of approach, so that he didn't even realize that the paper man was getting close to him.

"Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with you." Di Ting took a sip of hot tea.

Lu Zheng looked straight at him.

"Because Wen Bai was restless when he was doing it."

"There are distractions."

"This distracting thought is you."

--

Not long after Wen Bai returned to the room with the paper figurine in his arms, Zhong Shining hurried over, saying that Zhou Wei didn't know what happened, he called and didn't speak for a long time, and when he went back, there was no one on the phone received.

With the signal that was not smooth, he only heard the words "Town God's Temple", "It's over", and "Help", and suddenly lost his mind, and fearing that something might happen to Zhou Wei, he hurried to find Wen Bai.

Wen Bai first called Zhou Wei, but just like Zhong Shining said, no one answered.

Cheng Cheng and the others just had an accident not long ago, and Wen Bai didn't dare to take it lightly. He didn't think much about it, and left the villa with Zhong Shining - sent a text message to Lu Zheng, and took the picture of the cow with him.

In the end, when they arrived at the coffin shop, their culprits were all sitting on the threshold of the Town God's Temple... in a daze.

Zhong Shining ran over first, pulled the person up, looked him up and down, and after confirming that everything was fine, he was not angry at all.

Just when he was about to swear a few words, Zhou Wei staggered to his feet.

Just like Wen Bai saw him at the coffin shop for the first time, pawing at the old wooden door with peeling paint of the Town God's Temple, his eyes were red.

"Xiaobai, Shi Ning, my grandfather..."

Wen Bai and Zhong Shining's hearts skipped a beat.

Zhong Shining immediately turned his back and searched desperately in the recent list of new souls: "No, no, Grandpa Zhou is not on this list."

Wen Bai knocked on his forehead, pointed at the Temple of the City God.

Only then did Zhong Shining come back to his senses.

He was so used to doing this job that he forgot that Grandpa Zhou was a city god with a long lifespan, so even if that day came, it would not be under their control.

"What's wrong with Grandpa Zhou?" Although Wen Bai didn't think anything would happen to the old city god, Zhou Wei didn't look like a fake, so he asked immediately.

"My grandfather gave me the Town God's Temple..." Zhou Wei lost his strength when he said this, and stuck half of his body on the weather-beaten wooden door.

Following his movements, the wooden door dropped a few pieces of red patent leather, the door hinges creaked, and the copper rings collided, playing melodiously in this empty square inch for a long time.

"He, he also said," Zhou Wei's eyes began to lose focus, "After a while, give me the position of City God."

Zhong Shining turned around: "Ah, Grandpa Zhou told you?"

"You know?" Zhou Wei straightened up.

His eyes fell from Zhong Shining to Wen Bai: "Xiaobai, you, you know too?"

Wen Bai nodded: "Yeah."

"When?"

"...When I first came to your place."

"Boss Lu told you?"

"Ah."

"..."

Zhou Wei collapsed: "You all know?"

Zhong Shining: "I still want to ask you, how did you know? I thought you had already guessed it, but you just didn't say it."

Zhou Wei cried: "Who would a normal person guess in such a place!"

Zhong Shining: "So we are not human!"

Zhou Wei: "..."

Wen Bai: "..."

"Don't even think about it. Is this place of the underworld accessible to ordinary people? You can come in and out freely because you are one of your own."

Zhong Shining flashed his work card, patted Zhou Wei on the shoulder, and said hello directly: "Hi, colleague!"

Zhou Wei: "..."

His life was completely turned upside down, and Zhou Wei's mood was even more complicated than when he was caught by a ghost and burned Yuanbao.

Wen Bai was thinking about Lu Zheng.

After knowing that Zhou Wei was fine, as soon as he was free, "distracting thoughts" followed.

For a while, apart from Zhong Shining, everyone had their own worries... Sorrows were not counted, the upset was real.

In winter, it gets dark very early.

The air conditioner in Zhou Wei's room was not warm enough, so he found two sun-like drying lamps to come out.

While powering up the lamp, he said, "Is it really okay for you two to stay with me for one night?"

Zhong Shining was very happy about the miners staying overnight: "You are not welcome?"

"Of course I welcome... Sigh, it's best for you to live here. It's lively when you talk." Now he wishes Wen Bai and the others could stay here forever, but he doesn't know if Boss Lu will have any objections.

The Zhou family's ancestral home is located in a remote location, and it is a small village, so it is extremely quiet.

But the quiet is not grinding.

Wen Bai quite liked it.

He even felt that what he lacked was such an environment for him to take care of everything.

Not far from the Town God's Temple, there was a burst of incense.

After raising some Zhong Shining in the underworld, who came back out of breath, it was rare for him to calm down.

"There seems to be a lot of incense in Chenghuang Temple?" Wen Bai glanced at it before, and it was dusty, full of incense ash.

"Well, speaking of it, I have to ask Zhong Jiafu. The last time Zhong's family came, and after offering a few sticks of incense, the number of people here has increased. In addition, Taoist Lin Qiu and the others often come and go. Now except In addition to the people in the village, there are many people who drove here specially."

Wen Bai: "It's a good thing."

"It's a good thing, I know, my grandpa also said, this is my chance, I do better than him," Zhou Wei lay back on the chair, leaning back with his neck on the back of the chair, "but I didn't What do you think I did?"

Because of his posture, Zhou Wei's voice was hoarse.

He had already accepted the fact that he would be a "Three Generations in the Coffin" in the future, and he even thought it was pretty good. If not, would he know Zhong Shining?cannot.

Can you connect with the Zhong family?cannot.

Can you find out about the squad leader and the others losing their souls in the first place?also can not.

He also expanded his "contacts" in the underworld, and the hardest one was Xiaobai.

Can……

"What are you bothering about?" Zhong Shining couldn't hold back, blinking at Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei was taken aback: "Am I bothering you?"

"You almost had the words 'I'm annoying' written all over your face." Zhong Shining was speechless.

Zhou Wei scratched his head: "It's not that I'm annoying, it's just that this happened too, too suddenly."

"My grandfather always told me that I have a 'Yin fate', and I have to inherit his coffin shop in the future, and I have to be ready to take over his coffin shop," Zhou Wei said, "Now I am ready to take over his coffin shop." The shop was ready, but my grandfather suddenly told me that he is the City God and I am the Little City God."

Zhong Shining, however, disapproved all over his face: "It's not sudden, why is it sudden? I've heard Xiaobai say that after he was detained and burned Yuanbao, did your grandfather tell you about the Town God's Temple?"

Zhou Wei: "Ah."

"And then slowly took you to take over the Town God's Temple?"

"what."

"Even before this, when I haven't told you about the Town God's Temple, on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, I will take you to burn burdens for some lonely ghosts?"

"what."

"And tell you about the Yin Division, so that you can get in touch with Zhengtian Temple."

"what."

"Also, every time you come to the Yin Division, do you think your grandfather doesn't know about it? Does he just let you come here?"

Zhou Wei's face was already dull: "Ah."

"Why is this sudden? Do you think it is sudden?" Zhong Shining finally said.

For a moment, Zhou Wei felt that Zhong Shining had poured boiling white water on his head.

Daigo empowerment.

He always thought that his grandfather was too old to do anything, so he let go all of a sudden, but the fact is, his grandfather had already prepared for it, and he had already secretly accepted it?

"But I have never been a city god, so I don't know what to do?" Zhou Wei choked out such a sentence at last.

Zhong Shining: "Aren't you doing pretty well now?"

Zhou Wei: "...Really?"

"Well," seeing that Zhou Wei gradually came to understand, Wen Bai smiled, "It's fine to continue as it was before."

Zhong Shining nodded heavily: "One is solved."

Just as Wen Bai was about to ask what "one solution" meant, Zhong Shining had already turned his head, blinked, and looked at Wen Bai.

"Okay, it's your turn."

Wen Bai: "?"

Zhong Shining: "What are you bothered about?"

Wen Bai: "..."

Zhong Shining raised his hand: "You are almost writing the words 'I have something on your mind' on your face."

Even Zhou Wei nodded.

Wen Bai didn't know it at all, and thought he hid it well.

Perhaps this winter night was too quiet, so he wanted to find someone to talk to, but the moment he was about to speak, there was a sudden pause.

Because he suddenly discovered that he was like another "Zhou Wei".

He wasn't "annoying", it was just that he felt that falling in love with Lu Zheng was too sudden and at a loss.

He has never liked anyone, so he doesn't know how to face Lu Zheng.

He hadn't figured it out before.

But now, within a few minutes, he had to start thinking.

Was it really "sudden" that he fell in love with Lu Zheng?

It seems... not at all.

……

Zhong Shining and Zhou Wei didn't speak.

They just sat quietly, watching Wen Bai's expression change and change, and finally took a deep breath, lowered their heads, and smiled.

Zhou Wei: "???"

Zhong Shining: "???"

What's going on here?

Originally, I wanted to enlighten Xiaobai, but obviously they hadn't asked anything, and they didn't have time to do anything, but Xiaobai seemed to have enlightened himself? ? ?

Before going to bed, Zhou Wei and Zhong Shining were still thinking about what Xiaobai was bothering with—until the next day, they saw Lu Zheng in the yard.

"What about him?" Lu Zheng asked directly without looking at his subordinate who had been away from work for a day.

Zhong Shining and Zhou Wei moved surprisingly uniformly, pointed to the location of the Town God's Temple outside, and shouted in unison: "In the temple."

Lu Zheng turned around and left.

But the moment he turned around, Wen Bai happened to cross the path.

Wen Bai was startled.

It took him a whole night to figure out what he thought about Lu Zheng.

He didn't know if Lu Zhengxi liked him or not, and he didn't know how Lu Zheng felt about him, but he had to admit that his heart beat fast the moment he saw Lu Zheng.

And he didn't hate the feeling.

Wen Bai was startled for a moment, then ran towards Lu Zheng.

One step away from Lu Zheng, Wen Bai stood still, raised his head slightly, and looked at Lu Zheng.

The person who was stunned became Lu Zheng.

Before coming, Lu Zheng actually made a lot of ideas.

When Wen Bai saw him, he might hide, or he would keep his head down and not speak as before.

In all his plans, the final result is that he walks towards Wen Bai.

No one envisioned it like it is now.

Wen Bai ran towards him..., smiled and looked at him with extremely beautiful eyes.

Lu Zheng felt his lips and tongue were dry.

After a long time, he said the first sentence: "There are ashes."

Wen Bai paused for a moment: "I happened to meet Grandpa Awei in the morning, so we went to the Town God's Temple with him to sweep the ashes. Did it get dirty?"

With that said, Wen Bai raised the back of his hand after washing, and wiped it on his face: "Is it here?"

Lu Zheng didn't speak.

Wen Bai was about to take a look at the jar filled with clean water, but Lu Zheng suddenly reached out.

Then, Wen Bai felt something gently scrape the side of his face.

The strength is very light.

"Here." Lu Zheng chuckled, and rubbed his fingertips against the side of Wen Bai's face, wiping off the last bit of dust for him.

Wen Bai blinked, staring at the ashes on Lu Zheng's fingertips in a daze.

Lu Zheng lowered his eyes slightly, looked at him, still smiling.

"Not dirty."

Wen Bai's heartbeat was completely chaotic.
