Urban Night Returner

Shen Gu's complexion matched that of the bottom of the pot, but his mood was like beans being stir-fried in the pot, which might explode at any time.Zhong Lecen sat on the co-pilot, like an ant on a hot pot, looked at him anxiously for a long time, but still couldn't help explaining: "I didn't want to promise him."

Shen Gu snorted coldly: "But you didn't explicitly refuse."

Zhong Lecen was worried: "He, after all, he only has one year to live, I..."

Shen Gu was annoyed: "What's the matter? Are you going to promise him?"

Zhong Lecen yelled: "I don't know how! I'm not stupid, you should be acting in a TV series! Such blood."

Now Shen Gu is satisfied.Zhong Lecen took a peek at his face, pursed his lips: "Aren't you angry?"

Shen Gu held the steering wheel with one hand, and hugged him with the other: "I'm afraid your heart is too soft."

Zhong Lecen leaned against him comfortably: "If I didn't know you, maybe I would agree."

"You like him?" Shen Gu thought to himself that this matter is a bit dangerous, and he must nip the signs in the bud.

Zhong Lecen was a little dazed: "We have been together for more than ten years... Tell me, how can I reject him?"

Shen Gu thought that it would be best to refuse clearly, but after all, Su Wan only had one year left...

"You introduce him to another one?"

"That's a good idea." Zhong Lecen sat up straight, took out his phone and began to look through the phone book, "It'll be great if Kong Hua comes back, he knows more people, and he can introduce him to Ji Lian, which is more interesting. "

Shen Gu couldn't help but think of what might be contained in this "sentimental", and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.Think back then, before he met Zhong Lecen, that place was already very romantic, right?

"Konghua?" Zhong Lecen's cell phone rang suddenly, "Where are you? Are you back? Oh, oh, come back, how are you doing outside? Gifts, ok, I'll go get them tonight. Le Yang... Le Yang is at my house, no, no, not next to me. Oh, that... Le Yang has indeed come out to the family. Forget it, don’t think so much, or I’ll go over tonight and we’ll talk again? Okay, okay, goodbye.”

"Konghua is back?"

"Yeah." Zhong Lecen frowned, "You can't let Le Yang know."

Shen Gu didn't express his opinion, although he felt that Zhong Leyang had the right to know.

However, Zhong Leyang didn't need to know that Konghua was in a lot of trouble when he came back, Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen just pushed open the door, and a cup flew towards the door, fortunately Shen Gu caught it quickly, otherwise it would have hit Zhong Lecen's forehead.

Of course Zhong Yi threw the cup, and the target was of course Zhong Leyang's head, but Zhong Leyang dodged it.Zhong Lecen looked at the father and son who were at war with swords in surprise, and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Second Uncle, if you have something to say, don't do it!"

"Speak well? Shall I tell him well?" Zhong Yi was so angry that he was a little incoherent.However, Zhong Leyang said bluntly: "Anyway, I just like him, you can figure it out!"

"Le Yang!" Zhong Le Cen wished to shut his mouth, but Zhong Yi had already turned his finger on Zhong Le Cen: "Le Cen, I heard that person is your friend? A friend in your circle, why did you introduce it to Le Yang? "

Shen Gu gave Zhong Leyang a hard look.This bastard, not only can't handle his own affairs, but also implicated Zhong Lecen. When they went to the clinic just now, Zhong Yi was obviously not so angry, and he didn't know what the father and son talked about, and it ended like this!

Zhong Leyang shouted loudly: "Dad, why are you bothering my brother? I said, I just like him, what does it have to do with whether he is my friend or not? Besides, my brother asked me to go because the place built by the bar is not good. Well, I have to go there to deal with them once a month, it’s too troublesome, so let me--" The second half of his sentence suddenly choked in his throat, Shen Gu looked over in surprise, and saw the faces of the Zhong brothers Changed, and the expression on Zhong Yi's face was even more startled and angry: "Le Cen, you—you actually do things for others? Who told you to do it!"

Shen Gu was a little baffled, so what happened to the practice?Zhong Lecen's expression was uneasy: "Second Uncle, I know I don't have any spiritual power, but I have never publicized that I am from the Zhong family. Because Konghua is my friend and the problem is not serious, I just dealt with it , If I can’t handle it, I won’t pick it up, and I won’t lose face to the Zhong family…”

Zhong Leyang couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled, "Dad, why are you being so fierce! Brother didn't do anything, it was just a small religious matter, brother, isn't it just to help a friend? This is also the family motto of our Zhong family, isn't it?"

"Shut up!" Zhong Yi's expression was even more angry than before, "What do you know! I told you not to use spells, why didn't you listen?"

Zhong Lecen bit her lip, and finally couldn't help it: "Second Uncle, I'm just helping a friend. Besides, my surname is Zhong anyway, so even if I don't have enough spiritual power, can't I even use small spells?"

Zhong Yi slapped the table, furiously: "Why are you so disobedient? You can't use magic spells, but you can't use them. What nonsense? Your mother has already been killed, and you still want your father to die in vain?"

When he said a word, everyone in the room was stunned.Zhong Leyang was the first to react: "Dad, what are you talking about!"

Zhong Yi also realized that he had said something wrong in a fit of anger, and instead of answering his son, he turned his head away.Zhong Lecen looked straight at him, her lips trembling slightly: "Second Uncle, I know my fate is bad, but that's not something I can choose..."

Zhong Yi patted the armrest of the sofa with some frustration: "I know, I said something wrong just now. But you can't use spells, otherwise your father will die in vain, you know?"

Zhong Lecen stared at him blankly: "Father—"

Shen Gu embraced his trembling body, helped him to the sofa, and looked at Zhong Yi with dissatisfaction: "Second Uncle, can you speak clearly?"

Zhong Yi couldn't care less about protesting his title, he sighed a long time, he was a little helpless: "You child, you are really stubborn! Originally, I wanted to keep this matter from you, but now..."

Zhong Leyang couldn't help it: "Dad, can you hurry up and say yes? I'm so anxious."

Zhong Yi glared at him: "It's none of your business! Shut up."

Zhong Leyang closed his mouth resentfully, Zhong Yi let out a long sigh, leaned back on the sofa, and closed his eyes slightly: "You child, don't you remember that your grandfather didn't teach you spells when you were young? At that time, Leyang and the others had to learn every day, Only you, no one ever asked you to learn."

Zhong Lecen said softly: "I remember. Because I have no spiritual power, no matter what I learn, it is useless, so no one wants to teach me."

Zhong Yi closed his eyes and sneered: "No spiritual power? How can the descendants of our Zhong family have no spiritual power? Besides, you are the first child of this generation, so it's strange that you don't have spiritual power. It's not that you have no spiritual power, but that you have spiritual power. Too strong!"

Zhong Leyang was confused: "But, didn't you always say that I have no spiritual power? And it's useless for me to draw spells."

Zhong Yi opened his eyes and stared at him: "His spiritual aperture is sealed, so drawing amulets is of course useless."

Zhong Leyang is still confused: "Who sealed brother's spiritual aperture?"

Zhong Yi glared at him again: "Who else is there? Stop interrupting."

Zhong Leyang murmured: "Didn't it mean that brother has no spiritual power and bad luck, so he changed his life, why is it now that he has become a sealed spirit aperture?"

Zhong Yi was incredulous: "Who told you that it was a life change?"

Zhong Leyang was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Isn't it? Didn't you change your life with Su Wan from the Su family? Isn't that what you always say?"

Zhong Yi seemed to want to pick up what was at hand and give it to him: "Is it that easy to change your life? If you go against the sky, even if you succeed, there will be endless troubles. How do you read your books? Read it in the stomach of a dog gone?"

This sentence made the three young people in the room dizzy, Zhong Lecen's eyes almost straightened, and he murmured: "But, but didn't they always say that? I heard the Su family say..."

"The Su family?" Zhong Yi sneered, "Do you believe what people like the Su family say? A drunkard, what can I say is not nonsense. Besides, the child of Su Wan has a good fortune, but he is not a supernatural physique. Life, can he bear your yin and yang eyes and spiritual power? It would be strange if you didn't bleed to death from your seven orifices."

"Then why did he say that? The neighbors said that our family paid theirs, and no one in the family told me otherwise!" Zhong Lecen almost cried out.

Zhong Yi smiled wryly: "Originally, I thought about buying Su to end the child's life, and his alcoholic father also agreed, and the price was negotiated. Who knows that when it's time to act, you will find that the child is against you. , you couldn’t borrow his son’s life, so you gave up halfway. But his father was stubborn and didn’t believe that we didn’t borrow his son’s life at all. Your father didn’t want to make things big, so he gave him a sum of money. "

Zhong Lecen said blankly: "That is to say, Su Wan didn't change his life with me at all? Isn't he only 30 years old?"

"Of course." Zhong Yi said affirmatively, "Didn't you have a good relationship with him all the time? Have you ever found out that he has yin and yang eyes?"

"I...he sometimes said he saw something after drinking..."

Zhong Yi snorted: "Is that a hallucination after drinking?"

Zhong Lecen was speechless.Shen Gu asked calmly: "Since he didn't change his life, Le Cen's lifespan is still only 30 years old?"

"Of course not." Zhong Yi closed his eyes slightly again, "Later, another child was found to change the lives of the two of you. That child also has a rare supernatural physique, and the method can be successful. But this is against the sky after all. Your father... expended too much energy and left soon."

"Life change? Why not life change?" Shen Gu was the only one present who seemed to be able to think calmly.

"It's too difficult." Zhong Yi shook his head, "Besides, Le Cen's fate is extremely evil. If you want to change your life, the big brother's life is not enough to pay for it."

"What is my fate?" Zhong Lecen raised his head abruptly, "Why did my father shorten my life when I changed my life? Also, how did my mother die?"

Zhong Yi looked at him with a complicated expression, and then sighed after a long time: "Your fate is connected with your spiritual power. It is a kind of...how should I put it? Let me first talk about your mother's How did you die? Your mother is also born with spiritual power. Although she learned magic from your father after marrying into our Zhong family, she is very talented and has become famous in a few years. Everyone knows that Zhong The eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law are a perfect match, and they are a famous husband and wife of heavenly masters. Later, you were born, and you were able to see ghosts as soon as you were born. As soon as the old man pushed out the fate of a big evil. At that time, I didn't believe it, because you have a peaceful character, and you can't see the evil look at all. Even the old man Dongfang himself was baffled, so he didn't take it very seriously. Until you were five years old When you start learning spells, things are not right. You start learning spells at the age of five, which is rare in our Zhong family. You can use those small spells with ease, and everyone says you are talented. But as long as you use spells, something will inevitably happen What a bad thing. At first no one thought of you, and then when you were eight years old——remember there is a well in the back mountain?"

"Is it the well in the Forbidden Forest?" Zhong Leyang listened fascinated, "The place we are not allowed to enter?"

"That's right there. The well leads directly to the underworld. One of the tasks of our Zhong family is to guard the well and prevent the yin and yang from communicating. But every ghost month is when the yin energy is at its peak, and we have to send extra people to guard it." .That year, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, a group of you kids didn’t know what game to play, and ended up in the Forbidden Forest.”

Zhong Leyang tried his best to recall: "Is that what happened? Why don't I remember? Besides, there are repeated orders and five orders not to enter that place, and none of us dare to violate it."

Zhong Yi snorted: "Of course you don't remember, because you didn't enter on purpose. At that time, what game were you playing? Then I found some charms on the side of the road, which are guide charms."

"Ah!" Zhong Leyang suddenly remembered, "That's right, we were playing tricks at the time, and we were competing to see who's better at illusion. At that time, Le Ning and the others set up barriers, and my brother and I helped break them. Uncle at that time It seems that Le Ning and the others have been taught a new spell, and I feel that I can’t find the direction, so I drew a compass. So what’s wrong?”

Zhong Yi sighed slightly: "South is yang, north is yin. The guide talisman can guide the direction directly because it can distinguish yin and yang. The guide talisman drawn by Le Cen does not refer to the south, but the place with the most yin energy nearby, which is Huangquanjing .”

Zhong Leyang shivered: "So, we thought we were heading home, but we actually entered the Forbidden Forest?"

"Correct."

"I remember, I got separated from my brother..."

"Yes. Because your spiritual power is still low, you can't enter the Forbidden Forest, but Le Cen went in and encountered Huangquanjing."

"I...why don't I remember..." Zhong Lecen showed a blank expression.

Zhong Yi seemed unable to bear to look at him, and closed his eyes again: "It was your father who erased your memory, because it was too scary. You touched the Yellow Spring Well, and the seal on the well was opened. It happened to be July When the Fifteen Ghost Gates were opened, Huangquanjing... turned into a ghost path, and all the ghosts came out. When we found out, the entire Forbidden Forest became a ghost zone. Your mother found out that you were in the forbidden forest. Lin Li, desperately rushed in to save you, and when she carried you out, you were not injured at all, but she... barely carried you out and died."

Zhong Lecen sat blankly, tears slowly slipped from his eyes: "I don't remember anything."

Zhong Yi sighed: "Who would want you, a child, to remember these things? That day to seal the Yellow Spring Well, your fifth uncle also died, remember? He passed away within a few months."

"I remember." Zhong Le Cen said dully, "It is said that Uncle Wu has leukemia."

"It's because you've consumed too much spiritual power." Zhong Yi pressed his temple, "The seal you opened can't be sealed by an adult. Only then will everyone know what your life of extreme evil means. You—— It seems that you are born with a yin energy—well, it's hard to say clearly, but in short, you can't use spells anymore. That's why your father sealed your spiritual orifice with his own blood, and said to the outside world that you have no spiritual power. At that time, Le Yang and the others were still young, and they couldn't remember anything in a daze. Your memory was erased again, and everyone thought you had no spiritual power. Grandpa has been alienating you, do you know why? "

Zhong Lecen hugged his shoulders, as if afraid of the cold: "I think it's because I'm not as good as the eldest son of the Zhang family..."

Shen Gu hugged him, held his cold hand with both hands, and rubbed it gently.Zhong Yi sighed again: "No, the old man is afraid that being too close to you will affect your sealed spiritual orifice. The spiritual orifice is sealed with spiritual power. If there is other spiritual influence, it may be unlocked. Everyone is afraid of sealing it. I can't hold your spirit aperture, so no one dares to get too close to you."

Zhong Lecen hugged herself tightly and shrank into Shen Gu's arms.He always thought that the elders didn't like him because he had no spiritual power, and later it was because he came out of the closet, but how did he know that the fact turned out to be like this...

Zhong Leyang looked at his brother's pale face, and asked hesitantly, "Since you didn't change your life with Su Wan, who was the one who changed your life? That means that person only has 30 years to live?"

Zhong Yi shook his head: "Not a local. That child was only five years old at the time, and Le Cen was already ten years old, so after the change of life, Le Cen only gave him 20 years of life, that is to say, the child only had a life span of 25 years. But the child's fate is very strange. There was a hurdle at the age of 25. So your uncle used his own blood to make him a Promise Chain. If he can wear it all the time and survive the age of 25, maybe there will be Turning point. If it weren’t for this... your uncle would have a hard time resting his mind. After all, in this kind of thing, saving one is tantamount to killing one... That child... I remember it seems that the surname is Mai or something, a very cute child, Your uncle gave all the money back then, but he was so soft-hearted that he couldn't do anything..."

What Shen Gu was thinking about was another question: "That is to say, isn't Le Cen only [-] years old?"

"Of course not. The child's longevity is borrowed for 50 years."

"It has nothing to do with Su Wan?"

"What does it have to do with him?"

good.Shen Gu exhaled, that is to say, there is no need to perfunctory Su Wan anymore.Anyway, that's a good thing.

Zhong Lecen held his head and remained silent.Shen Gu hugged his hand but felt a drop of water falling on the back of his hand, so he winked at Zhong Leyang.Zhong Leyang stood up and gently pulled Zhong Yi: "Dad, let's talk over there."

Zhong Yi glanced at Shen Gu with a complicated expression, but he still stood up and followed Zhong Leyang into the guest room.

Shen Gu gently raised Zhong Lecen's tear-stained face towards himself: "If you want to cry, just cry. It's better to cry out. But it's not your fault. After crying, don't think about it anymore."

Zhong Lecen tried to push him away: "How can I not want to? Didn't you hear what my second uncle said? What will happen if my spiritual aperture cannot be sealed?"

Shen Gu kissed him directly, until Zhong Lecen pushed him out of breath, and then let go: "That's okay, I'll stay with you. I know what you want to say, but have you forgotten? I'm so angry , ghosts and gods are not close. In other words, we are a match made in heaven, and you are destined to live with me forever."
