Urban Night Returner

The sound of blowing and beating was getting closer, and the funeral procession came meanderingly. There were quite a number of people. It seemed to be a rich family, but there was no crying in the funeral crowd, only a few maids dressed as maids pretended to cry every once in a while.

"How did we get here?" Shen Gu asked Zhong Lecen close to his ear.When he fell into the lake just now, he didn't even feel the water, so he fell to the ground with a slap.If he hadn't reacted quickly and supported it with his hands, Zhong Lecen who was under his head would have been crushed.

Zhong Lecen didn't go to see the funeral procession, but just looked left and right at the street: "Why do I think this place looks familiar..."

"Didn't you say this is the Sansheng Spring? It won't be in your previous life, right? But how do we go back?" There are no candles to be seen in this place, and the sky is so bright that it is not surrounded by the city like before. In the darkness.

Zhong Lecen looked in one direction, and said casually: "If it's just my previous life, you can't come in. I always feel that this place is very familiar, let's go forward."

Shen Gu followed him, feeling strange in his heart: "Could it be that I was with you in the previous life?"

Zhong Lecen just said it in passing, but at this moment, he suddenly realized and was also stunned: "Really... this, how is this possible?"

Shen Gu looked around: "But why doesn't it look familiar to me?"

Zhong Lecen suddenly pointed with his finger: "Front!" Shen Gu looked up and saw a black lacquered gate on the street, with a plaque on the lintel reading: Luofu.Zhong Lecen stared straight at the two big characters, and murmured: "Luo Mansion, Luo Mansion, Luo..."

However, Shen Gu's gaze was attracted by another person, who was hiding in the dark part of the street, his eyes were nervously looking at the direction of the funeral procession, and he was holding a piece of talisman paper in his hand.There was no one on the street, but he didn't seem to notice Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen at all, he was engrossed in the funeral crowd approaching slowly ahead.Like lightning, Shen Gu suddenly remembered where he had seen that face before: "I've seen him! Before I graduated from high school and went to the military academy, this person often appeared near my house—" Shen Gu swallowed the second half of the sentence Go back, because the clothes that the person in front of me is clearly only seen in costume dramas on TV, although the appearance is exactly that person, but... this person can't live for so long anyway, right?

Zhong Lecen had been staring at the plaque in a daze, and was called out by Shen Gu before turning to look at the man in the corner, staring at the man for a while, and then blurted out: "Zuo Mu!"

Shen Gu was taken aback: "What?" Zuo Mu, this name - isn't Xiao Qingfan's assistant who designed the Jinyu Building called Zuo Mu?

Zhong Lecen pressed his temples with both hands, curled up because of the severe headache: "Luo Jing, Luo Jing!"

Shen Gu was startled, and quickly hugged him in his arms: "What's wrong? Who are you talking about?"

Suddenly there was a shrill scream from inside the black painted gate, Zhong Lecen shook off Shen Gu vigorously as if in an explosion, and rushed in.The door was still closed, and he just walked through it and disappeared.Shocked, Shen Gu quickly followed. When he reached the door, he habitually stretched out his hand to push the door, but his hand sank into the door.The fact that this violated the laws of physics made him stunned for a moment, and then walked in directly like Zhong Lecen.Inside is a very simple courtyard, divided into east and west sides, the west side is the vertical flower gate, and the east side is a high wall. The screams came from the west side, but Zhong Lecen's figure was disappearing into the east wall.Shen Gu followed quickly, and saw a house in the small courtyard to the east, with wooden boards nailed to the doors and windows, nailing the house like a coffin.At this time, the wooden board on the window was lifted, Zhong Lecen stood in the yard blankly, Shen Gu followed his gaze, and saw a man in black dragging an iron chain burying his body in the door board.Hanging on the open window is a little puppet with smiling eyebrows and eyes. The brushwork is clever but the strokes are a little crooked. In addition, it is shaken by the breeze, making the smile very strange.Shen Gu was still confused until now, walked over and carefully embraced Zhong Lecen: "What's going on?"

Zhong Lecen said slowly: "That's a ghost sent to seduce the soul."

Shen Gu couldn't figure it out: "Seduce the soul? Who's soul?"

Zhong Lecen closed his eyes slightly: "Mine." He suddenly turned around and stared at Shen Gu's face, "Why did you come into my previous life? Unless, your previous life was also here? Who are you ? Luo Jing?"

Shen Gu was completely at a loss: "Luo Jing? Who is Luo Jing?"

At this time, a young man ran past them and directly smashed open the door nailed into a box. Immediately, he yelled and rushed in.Shen Gu only heard the high and low voices of the two people inside, and couldn't hear clearly, but felt that Zhong Lecen's body beside him was trembling slightly.A drop of warm stuff dripped onto the back of his hand, and Shen Gu suddenly found that Zhong Lecen was crying.He was about to speak, but Zhong Lecen had already opened his eyes and looked at the door: "He is Luo Jing."

Shen Gu looked up, the young man just came out with a man, the man was holding a sword in his hand, his chest was dripping with blood, and the sword was also stained with blood, but he didn't seem to feel any pain, and looked calmly from the small hole on the wall The door is out.Zhong Lecen watched him walk out of the east courtyard, then turned his gaze back to Shen Gu's chest, Shen Gu pressed the birthmark on his chest involuntarily: "You said—this is—" Is he that person?That is his previous life?

Zhong Lecen walked straight into the room.Shen Gu had no choice but to follow him in.The sun shines in from the door and window, shining on the person on the bed.Zhong Lecen stared at that calm face, and said in a low voice: "Take the blood from my eyes, and give it back to your heart. If you insist on a hundred thoughts, you will pay back what you have done. General Luo, you are born because of me. I'll pay you back, and we're settled."

Shen Gu didn't quite understand what he read, but his heart felt cold, and he couldn't help but grabbed Zhong Lecen's hand: "What's going on, you should explain it to me!"

Zhong Lecen turned his head to look at him, his eyes were sad and distant: "I just want to pay you a son, I never thought that the last time I used a spell in this life, it was still just killing people. There are countless sins, and the Red Lotus Hell is doing it for me. It is established for generations, and the Dharma is boundless, why can't I alone..."

Shen Gu was even more inexplicable to his last few words, but the deep sorrow in Zhong Lecen's eyes made his heart ache, and he hugged him tightly: "What are you talking about! What hell, what do you do, you will go to hell? You haven't done anything bad to go to hell!"

Zhong Lecen's expression was calm, but tears flowed down his face: "No wonder I beat my father and my mother, and my life was only thirty. It was originally destined in my previous life. But what did I do in my previous life? Why was I born fierce? Born, born, born Why do you want me to be born into such a great evil?"

Shen Gu interrupted him irritably: "What fate! I don't believe in this thing the most!"

Zhong Lecen looked up at him slightly, showing a vague smile: "You are still the same, you don't believe in fate."

Shen Gu felt that his breath was stuck in his chest and he couldn't let it go.Why can't he remember at all?

Suddenly there was a scream that was so shrill that it was not human, Zhong Lecen said in a low voice: "Devil." Breaking free from his heavy embrace, he walked out.Shen Gu's arms suddenly became empty, and there was a sudden sharp pain in his heart, which was worse than a bullet piercing through his body. The pain made him almost bend down, and after holding back for a moment, he barely straightened up and chased Zhong Lecen out.Just as he walked out of the small gate of the east courtyard, he saw a dark red light jumping out from the west courtyard and directly rushed out of the gate.Zhong Lecen looked at it and sighed: "I escaped, and I don't know where I went to reincarnate."

"what is that?"

"I summoned ghost fetuses. Because people summoned ghosts, the ghost fetuses I summoned were also like you. They couldn't be killed like this."

Shen Gu pressed his chest, the pain just now had gradually subsided, but his heart was terribly awkward-what does it mean that the summoned ghost fetus looks like him?Still can't kill?Didn't you want to kill him too?

They were standing here talking, Luo Jing had already left the west courtyard with a candle in his hand, his face was pale and his steps were a little shaky due to excessive blood loss.Entering the east courtyard, he locked the door, and after a while, flames rose from the east courtyard.Zhong Lecen looked at it for a while, then said softly: "So you died like this in your previous life..."

Shen Gu felt that this topic was very strange, and it was mixed with the wailing of the east courtyard, the singing of the west courtyard, and the sound of blowing and beating of the funeral outside the gate, which made people feel chills in the back.The most important thing is that he still doesn't know what happened, so he can only roughly guess that he must have done something wrong to Zhong Lecen in his previous life, which is why Zhong Lecen is so sad.

The fire burned bigger and bigger, the scene in front of him gradually swayed, a gust of wind rushed over with smoke and fire, Shen Gu instinctively pulled Zhong Lecen back and backed up, that is, the time he closed and opened his eyes, the scene in front of him suddenly disappeared, He and Zhong Lecen were already standing by the lake again, their bodies dry and dry, but Zhong Lecen still had tears on his face.

Shen Gu didn't know what to say for a long time. Although he couldn't remember it, the previous life was the previous life. If you are sorry, you are sorry. This is an inescapable fact.But the problem is, he was really wronged, when did he do something wrong to Zhong Lecen?Why did she take such a big black pot out of nowhere!

"Let's go back." Zhong Lecen spoke first, pointing to the distance, "The candle is about to go out, we have to hurry up."

Kong Hua stood in the bar with the lights off, watching Zhong Leyang who was sitting cross-legged worriedly.To be honest, Zhong Leyang is really not suitable for this kind of sitting. His hair is highlighted, he wears shiny metal studs on his ears, a rogue rabbit is on his T-shirt, and there are holes in his jeans. No matter how you look at it, he is not suitable for this A classical sitting method with five hearts turned to the sky.Just such a candle was lit in the room, and the candle flame went straight up without even shaking a bit. There was a little bit of green on the top of the flame, and according to Zhong Leyang's downcast face, there was a sense of majesty.Tiny beads of sweat kept oozing from his forehead, as if what was burning was not the candle, but his energy.

Looking at the empty room, Kong Hua felt a little cold behind him.Just now, Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu Paijiu, three big living people, were walking around in the talisman array. Suddenly, the candle went out, and when it was lit again, the three of them were already lying on the ground, and they looked nothing like dead people. different.Then look at Feifei lying on the side, the room is equivalent to two living people guarding four dead people, in case they don't come back... Konghua didn't dare to think about it.

The candle was already half-burned, and suddenly the candle flame flickered, and there were two more people in the center of the talisman, no, to be precise, they were two translucent shadows.Zhong Leyang suddenly opened his eyes, pointing his fingers at the two of them: "Return!" The two shadows disappeared at once, the Pai Gow on the ground moved, and Feifei outside groaned and opened his eyes at the same time.

Zhong Leyang sat still, and only said in a deep voice to Pai Gow: "Where is my brother?"

Pai Gow sat up awkwardly: "They were discovered by dead souls!"

Zhong Leyang's face changed abruptly, and the candle in front of him flickered immediately: "What's going on?"

Pai Gow briefly explained the situation: "After I found Feifei, I wanted to go back to the original street to have a look, but I couldn't find the place anymore."

Zhong Leyang's face was extremely ugly, and the candle flame on the ground shook even more violently.Kong Hua hurriedly reminded him: "Candle!"

Zhong Leyang looked down at the flickering candle, took a deep breath, and sat down again with lowered eyebrows and closed eyes: "My brother can come back, I have to wait for him. If Shen Gu can't protect him, he might as well die!" Voice It sounded firm, but trembling slightly.

The candle dwindled little by little until it became a pile of candle tears, and the flame became weaker and weaker.The three characters of ghost gate on the porcelain were originally very conspicuous, but at this time they gradually faded.With his eyes closed, Zhong Leyang took out a small wooden sword that was one inch long and wiped it on his wrist. The blood dripped onto the candlelight. Every drop of candlelight would brighten up, and the three characters on the porcelain would also brighten up. But this effect can only last for a few seconds. When the next drop of blood drips down, the candlelight has dimmed again, and the three words will also dim.Although Konghua didn't understand, at this moment he also knew that Zhong Leyang was using his own blood to support the candle that should have been burned long ago, keeping the gate of hell closed.

The sky outside the window has turned pale, and Zhong Leyang's face has also turned pale.In fact, he didn't lose much blood, but his physical strength seemed to be losing more quickly than blood.Suddenly he leaned back, the candle went out, and the room was pitch black.Kong Hua hurriedly turned on the light, only to see that Pai Gow had already caught Zhong Leyang, Zhong Leyang's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and there was a streak of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.Konghua's heart tightened for a moment: "How is it?"

Pai Gow's face was livid: "He's fine, but—" Before he finished speaking, Shen Gu on the ground suddenly sat up, and reached out to pull Zhong Lecen beside him: "Lecen?"

"Ah?" Zhong Lecen opened his eyes as if waking up from a dream, "Have Feifei and Pai Gow come back?"

Kong Hua let out a breath, and then he was relieved: "I'm back, but Le Yang is exhausted, and Fei Fei is still awake."

Zhong Lecen felt his younger brother's pulse: "It's because the essence and blood are consumed too much, and I wake up after a while. It's not because the soul has been out of the body for too long, so I have to sleep for at least a day."

Konghua was completely relieved now: "That's good. I'll take Feifei to my house, and I'll take care of it. You, Le Cen—"

"Let's go home." Zhong Lecen stood up with a tired face, trying to help his younger brother up.Shen Gu walked over silently and hugged Zhong Leyang directly: "Let's go."

Pai Gow looked both ways, and finally said: "I'll send Fei Fei off."

"Hey," Kong Hua pointed to the porcelain on the ground, "What about this thing?"

Zhong Lecen pondered for a while: "This thing can't be kept, it's too weird, I don't even know how it's made, if you keep it, accidents will happen."

Pai Gow didn't say anything, just raised his leg and kicked it, the porcelain fell to the ground with a bang, broke into two halves, spilled countless gray powder inside, and there was a faint bloody smell.Kong Hua froze for a moment: "What is this?"

Zhong Lecen looked down: "It's the ashes, and it may belong to more than one person. This thing has to be buried in the ground, and it can't be left in the bar."

Konghua shivered: "I'll handle this."

Shen Gu glanced at Pai Gow: "The thing is broken, how do you go back and explain it?"

Pai Gow didn't care: "Let's say that Zhou Na broke it. The client only said to get the things back, but never said that they should be complete."

Shen Gu nodded, then took another look at Zhong Lecen: "Let's go."

Zhong Lecen didn't speak, but nodded, and went out to take a taxi.At this time, the sky was already twilight, the taxi driver watched the three people for a long time, and still took the taxi.Zhong Leyang woke up halfway, and before he opened his eyes, he called softly: "Brother——"

Zhong Lecen touched his sweating face: "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Zhong Leyang smiled: "It's okay, just come back."

The car was parked outside the community, Shen Gu carried him upstairs and put him on the sofa, Zhong Lecen said softly, "Put it on the bed."

Zhong Leyang protested: "Brother, I'm not seriously ill, just a little tired, and I'm much better now."

Zhong Lecen nodded: "I'll make breakfast." He plunged into the kitchen and closed the door.

Zhong Leyang sat up on the sofa, touched his chin and looked at Shen Gu: "I said, what happened?"

Shen Gu had a sullen face, and it took him a long time to say: "We saw the Sansheng Spring."

Zhong Leyang's eyes widened all of a sudden: "Sanshengquan? You actually saw the Sanshengquan? Ah, did you see the previous life?"

Shen Gu gritted his teeth: "I see."

Zhong Leyang scratched the back of the sofa, full of curiosity: "What did you see? What did you see? Don't tell me it's okay. If it's okay, my brother wouldn't treat you like this. Tell me quickly!"

Shen Gu gave him a hard look, and finally said: "Your brother said that I killed him in his previous life."
