Shanhai Inn

"I think it's still possible, right?" Zhou Yanxiu frowned, "Wen Lang appeared more than 1000 years after the previous glutton disappeared."

Wen Lang is the fourth glutton in this world.

The Taotie before him lived for 180 years. The first 6000 years were free and happy, basking in the sun and picking flowers in the foggy mountains. When bored, he went to the next mountain to find powerful monsters to fight. Lie down in the place and sleep until dawn to watch the sunrise.

Later, he fell in love with someone, and after being with him for decades, this person died, and he also went crazy.

After going crazy for more than 100 years, he finally swallowed his lover's ashes and crashed to death on the top of a mountain in the mist.

Because of his insanity before death, his soul was damaged, Taotie's inheritance was temporarily interrupted, and he lived for 1000 years before reappearing, and now Wen Lang was born.

Maybe... the same is true for evil spirits?

The inheritance is actually still there, but it came a little later.

Several people secretly guessed in their hearts, but they were quickly denied by Lu Fengshi.

"Gaotie is not the same as exorcising evil spirits. He is crazy, but his soul is still there."

Lu Fengzhi asked them back: "It's just crazy, the inheritance has been broken for more than 1000 years, and the spirit of warding off evil is gone. What inheritance does he rely on?"

Several people fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

They knew that what Lu Fengshi said was right.

There are rules for everything in the world, and the same is true for the inheritance of monsters. Only when the spirit exists can it continue. Once it dissipates, everything will be over.

But what else could Lu Zhuo be if it were not to ward off evil spirits?

Even Tianlu, who is from the same line as the evil spirit, thinks he is. This should not be the wrong answer.

After thinking for a while, Lu Wu asked: "At the beginning... why did you sacrifice yourself?"

He was asking about Zhou Yanxiu, he had Tianlu's inheritance, so he naturally inherited Zhou Yuan's memory, so he would know about it.

Zhou Yanxiu shook his head: "Zhou Yuan has hidden all the memories related to the death of evil spirits, I don't know."

Inheritance is not 100% inheritance. Monsters have such a long life, more or less there will be some secrets that are not humane, so they will selectively hide things that they don't want others to know before dissipating.

Zhou Yuan's life was full of glory and prosperity, and he had no secrets to hide, the only thing he hid was the part of exorcising evil spirits and dying.

He couldn't accept the fact that the evil spirit died, so he deceived himself and others, as if as long as he kept this matter hidden, the evil spirit could live forever in his inheritance.

Zhou Yanxiu didn't know, that period was too long and there were no records circulating, so there were gaps in the information.

How to do it?

The few people were helpless, so they had to look at Lu Fengshi. They didn't have any hope in their hearts, and they didn't expect that the latter really knew.

He stood there, with a low voice, and told them what happened in the past.

It all started when the world was first born, when there were no rules in the world, fierce beasts and auspicious beasts were divided into factions, the former was born with evil intent and fierceness, and filled his inner desire with killing and blood, while the latter did not want to see the world. He chose to live in seclusion in the mountains to hide from the world, and the fierce beasts and evil spirits were not restrained, and gradually occupied all directions.

The ferocious beasts at that time were different from those stupid white sweets that only looked fierce on the outside. The fierce name of each one was piled up by killing. The soil was soaked in blood.

In the later Youkai Calendar, this period is called 'Long Night'.

Endless night and never-ending dawn.

This long night has lasted for more than 3000 years. The world is not the world, but a killing field and amusement park for fierce beasts and evil spirits. What I heard were sharp ghost laughter and the sound of sharp claws crushing bones.

Shame is out of balance, and life is withered.

And it was at this time that Bai Ze and Qilin got the hexagram of the Dao of Heaven, knowing that the Dao of Heaven is about to send down the punishment of heaven, and all living beings will be reduced to ashes under the punishment of heaven.

Auspicious beasts have inheritance and are not afraid of life and death, but what about those ordinary monsters?

They decided to stop it, Bai Ze and Qilin tried again, and learned that there is only one way to stop the punishment of heaven——

Zhensha.

At this time, evil intentions are in full swing in the world, how can it be said that the town can be suppressed?

Moreover, the punishment of heaven is close at hand, and it will come within three days. How can they suppress the evil spirit of more than 3000 years in three days?

The auspicious beasts were helpless, seeing the punishment of heaven getting closer and closer, finally the evil spirit came out.

His name is evil spirits, which means to suppress evil spirits and resolve them. This is the inherent responsibility of evil spirits. He is willing to sacrifice his life and even his soul for this responsibility and all the people he loves.

"I'll be back when I go."

Before leaving, he looked at Zhou Yuan and smiled, his smile was as bright and soft as ever, but what he said was a lie.

He introduced the evil spirits of fierce beasts and evil spirits into Wuyi Mountain, set up a magic circle on the top of the mountain, and used himself as a sacrifice to kill them in the circle. Suppress seven or eight out of ten evil spirits in the world, and the remaining ones are easily suppressed by the auspicious beasts.

The long night has come to an end.

The black mist in the sky dissipated, and the world saw the sun again, but the people who said they would go and go back never came back.

"That's all I know."

Lu Fengshi's voice was low, and the hearts of several people were also heavy, so they didn't make a sound.

The silence this time was much longer than the last time, and no one spoke in the end. What broke the silence was a WeChat ding-dong sound from Lu Zhuo's side.

It's a voice application with Xiao Yu.

Seeing He Xiaoyu's name, Lu Zhuo realized that he had actually forgotten his friend, so he clicked the connection with a guilty conscience.

He Xiaoyu's voice sounded immediately: "Xiaolu, something happened when we came, we came late... Which room do you live in?"

Lu Zhuo told him the room number, and vaguely heard that Ying Huaizhou was asking the villa for the room next to Lu Zhuo.

Feeling at ease with Xiao Yu, he continued to ask Lu Zhuo: "Did you go to the hot spring or are you in the room?"

"Not here, I am now..."

He didn't know what to say, he looked at Zhou Yanxiu, the latter understood, went to the desk and dialed the inside line, the housekeeper quickly invited Xiao Yu and Ying Huaizhou to the study.

When he came in and saw so many people, he was taken aback by Xiao Yu: "What are you doing?"

Don't soak in the warm hot springs, come here to talk?

I don't understand.

"We said something like this..."

Lu Zhuo told him about warding off evil spirits, and Xiao Yu was less than two thousand years old, so he had no idea about warding off evil spirits, so Ying Huaizhou let out a surprise.

"How can it be impossible to ward off evil spirits?" He said, "It's true that the spirit of warding off evil spirits has disappeared, but there are too many unexpected things in the world. Maybe his spirit has not dissipated, and it has been repaired for some reason over the years, or maybe The inheritance has come back after being interrupted for more than 8000 years, everything is uncertain, and..."

Ying Huaizhou sized Lu Zhuo around, and his eyes finally fell on his eyebrows: "The eyebrows and eyes of this little cub are clearly exactly the same as evil spirits."

"Have you seen the body of evil spirits?"

Judging from the inheritance, the evil spirit is a small house beast in the deep mountains, and it rarely leaves Wuyi Mountain, and the occasional few times it does not use the human body.

He doesn't like the human body, and feels comfortable in the original form.

"It's just a one-sided relationship." Ying Huaizhou smiled, "In short, I don't think you need to think too much about it. If there is no accident, this little cub is to ward off evil... Otherwise, what do you think it will be?"

"Hmm..." Lin Xin guessed, "Could it be that the Heavenly Dao gave birth to a new one to fill in the gap to ward off evil spirits?"

All species are not compatible, Lin Xin can only think of this, and there have been such examples before.

But both Zhou Yanxiu and Ying Huaizhou thought it was impossible.

"No." Zhou Yanxiu shook his head, "We didn't get the perception of the Dao of Heaven."

If a new monster is born, all the ancient monsters will get the sense of heaven, the last time it was born, but not this time.

This is neither that nor, things are getting more and more unpredictable.

The species of the cub is either evil spirits or newborn monsters, choose one of the two, 50.00% chance, which is much better than before.

Lin Xin felt a pain in the head, thought about it, and decided to ask the person's opinion: "Xiaolu, do you have any ideas?"

He asked the question out of his mouth, but there was no response after more than ten seconds.

This is not something that a polite boy like Xiaolu can do.

Lin Xin looked at Lu Zhuo suspiciously, and saw the cub walked to the easel at some point, staring at the evil spirit on the painting for a moment.

"Xiao Lu, what's the matter?" Lin Xin asked after waiting for a while without seeing Lu Zhuo.

"Huh? Huh." Lu Zhuo turned his head to look at him, "I just... think he is very familiar."

The cub was pale and dazed, looking very strange, Lin Xin was startled: "Look at Xiaolu!"

But Lu Zhuo couldn't hear the words behind, he had a splitting headache, and the picture in front of him became more and more blurred until everything fell into darkness.

"Street!"

Several people exclaimed, and Lu Fengshi reacted the fastest, hugging the fallen Lu Zhuo in his arms.

……

Lu Fengshi led Lu Zhuo back to the room, Lin Xin checked and found that there was nothing unusual about Lu Zhuo, but fell asleep.

Having said that, a few people were still not at ease, and wanted to stay with Lu Zhuo to take care of him, and then they were hit by Daoist Xiaolin's sentence, "You can't do anything but occupy the land and get in the way." The mood went back to their respective rooms.

After they left, only Lu Fengshi and Lu Zhuo who had fallen asleep were left in the room.

Lu Fengshi sat by the bed and watched Lu Zhuo carefully, before he knew it, he also fell asleep.

He had a dream.

In the dream, Zhong Shan was covered with frost and snow. He was sleeping in the mountains, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt a warmth that he had never felt before.

There was a small sound in the wind, as if someone was walking towards him through the frost and snow.

Lu Fengshi opened his eyes and saw a monster covered in gray and white fluff standing in front of him.

"I'm to ward off evil spirits. I pass by Zhongshan Mountain. I want to stay on the mountain for a few days. Is that okay?"

Lu Fengshi didn't care, and said, "Whatever you want."

"Thank you then." Bi Xie thanked him, but the man didn't leave, Lu Fengshi's figure was reflected in his clear eyes, "Are you Zhulong?"

Lu Fengshi couldn't be bothered to respond, so he closed his eyes again and listened to Bixie chattering beside him.

"I know even if you don't tell me, you must be Candle Dragon, I've wanted to see you for a long time."

"Why don't you talk? I told you that it's not good to be too silent. If you don't talk for a long time, you will become stupid and dumb. This is what A Yuan told me. I don't know if it's true."

"What are you talking about, I know you are not asleep, I saw your dragon tail flicking."

"Okay, then I'll just treat you as asleep. If that's the case, let's sleep together."

"..."

Bixie didn't recognize his life, so he took a few steps forward and lay down next to Lu Fengshi, his body was heaved, and he snored very quickly.

Where did this monster come from? He talks a lot, but sleeps fast.

Thinking about this, Lu Fengshi slowly opened his eyes, and in the next second, he met a pair of amber eyes——

The snoring Bixie didn't sleep at all, and kept silently watching Lu Fengshi beside him.

"I caught you, and you really didn't sleep, so let's talk." Bi Xie looked at him with a smile, and was about to pounce on him as he spoke.

Lu Fengshi was so annoyed that he rolled up the dragon's tail and tried to push him away. The tip of the dragon's tail was sunk in the evil hair, which was a soft feeling that Lu Fengshi had never felt before.

Warm and soft, from nothing, just because evil spirits came to him.

Lu Fengshi was startled.

"Boom—"

There was a thunderbolt outside the window.

Lu Fengshi opened his eyes, in front of him was neither Zhong Shan nor evil spirits, but only a few elegant murals in Hot Spring Villa.

He sat up and rubbed the space between his brows tiredly.

The memory fragments that had been dusty for thousands of years woke up in this dream, and Lu Fengshi finally remembered that many years ago, he had actually seen evil spirits.
