Lord Tianshi, please take your seat

The journey back to the mountain through the dense forest seems to be a lot faster.

Standing at the gate of Zhong's house, Xia Chuyu was a little dazed.Thinking of the judge's words, she unconsciously looked at Zhong Wanning's chest. Inside the clothes was a Qiankun bag.

Mo Tianchen, who was behind him, held Qing Mingjian and looked at the two people in front, raised his eyebrows and smiled, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Zhinan happily knocked on the door: "I'm finally back, Senior Sister, let's go in quickly."

Soon some disciples answered the door and saw that it was Zhong Wanning who had returned, and they were all overjoyed and rushed forward to say hello: "I have seen Senior Sister, you are finally back."

Zhong Wanning nodded in response, the door opened, and the lobby of the Zhong family was ahead.But Zhong Wanning still asked, "Is father here?"

The Taoist nodded in response: "Yes, the old man is in the front hall right now."

Handed Yin Qingsan to Ye Zhinan: "Zhinan, take Ah Chu back first."

Everyone went without saying, Ye Zhinan nodded, and said to Xia Chuyu, "Little Ah Chu, I'll take you back first."

Xia Chuyu nodded, glanced at Zhong Wanning, and followed Ye Zhinan back to the other courtyard.

【lobby】

Zhong Dangu was already sitting at the main seat in the hall.

Zhong Wanning brought Mo Tianchen and Luo Sheng to meet Zhong Dangu.

"Father."

"master."

The two finished their salute in a proper manner.

Even though we haven't seen each other for several months, Zhong Dangu still looks neither salty nor bland, and calmly nods to express his response.

And behind him, the high-spirited young man was looking around curiously at the front hall of Zhong's house, holding a Qingming sword in his arms, with a straight body, black hair pulled up high, tied into a ponytail with a hair crown, full of youthful air .

When he came back to his senses and saw his master looking at him, he seemed to realize it, and saluted with a smile: "I have seen the master of the world."

Zhong Dangu smiled rarely, looked at Mo Tianchen and nodded: "You are old man Mo's son, Mo Tianchen, right?"

The two families are far apart, and the juniors of the Zhong family and the Mo family have never been in contact with each other, but Zhong Dangu and Mo Tianchen's father are close friends.Therefore, Mo Tianchen had no objection to Zhong Dangu's title, and agreed with a smile.

Seeing the admiration in his father's eyes that he had never seen before, Zhong Wanning clasped his hands unconsciously, and Zhong Wanning lowered his eyes, quietly standing aside without answering.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and they didn't return to the topic until Ye Zhinan, who was sending Xia Chuyu home, had already arrived in the front hall.

"Father took a look," Zhong Wanning took out the Qiankun bag from his bosom and presented it to Zhong Dangu.

Mo Tianchen had already explained the origin of this bead in detail when exchanging greetings, so there is no need for Zhong Wanning to say anything more at this moment.

Opening the Qiankun bag, bursts of yin energy began to seep out of the mouth of the Qiankun bag, making one's hair stand on end.

Zhong Dangu stretched out his right hand, put his fingers together and swiped forward, and the yin-thirsty bead was suspended in the air. Zhong Wanning drew a magic circle on the ground with one hand, controlling the bead so that it could not move.

At this moment, several people could clearly see the shape of the half bead.It seems that the surface of the bead is not smooth, as if some kind of rune is engraved.

Looking at it, Luo Sheng always felt that the lines looked familiar, so he moved closer to have a closer look.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and the door of the hall was shut with a bang.

The yin-thirsty pearl began to release bursts of black yin energy.

Mo Tianchen quickly stepped forward and pulled Luo Sheng away: "Be careful!"

Before the words fell, the black yin energy hit the place where Luo Sheng was standing just now.

Looking at the corroded black hole on the ground, as if scorched by fire, Luo Sheng patted his chest with lingering fear, and bowed to Mo Tianchen to thank: "Thank you for saving me."

Zhong Dan didn't dare to think too much about the sudden change, and hastily put the yin-addicted pearl into the Qiankun bag.

Seeing this unpredictable and extremely powerful bead, Zhong Dangu frowned, and returned the Qiankun bag to Zhong Wanning: "This bead is complicated and confusing, so I must keep it safe."

Putting the Qiankun bag back, Zhong Wanning said yes.

Nodding, Zhong Dan waved his hand: "You guys have worked hard this trip, so go back and rest first."

As he said that, he looked at Mo Tianchen: "Wan Ning, let's settle this child, Mo Tianchen."

After speaking, everyone bowed and left.

After leaving the hall, Ye Zhinan dared to speak louder, and quickly went to Luo Sheng's side: "Senior brother, what's the matter with you?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, the beads didn't hurt me."

After looking around and confirming that he ignored it, Ye Zhinan felt relieved.

Mo Tianchen still had a teasing look: "I said Ye Zhinan, I gave up my life to save your brother, and I never see you caring about me."

Hearing this, Ye Zhinan cast a sidelong glance at Mo Tianchen, and choked, "I see that you look weird, and you don't look like you've been injured."

"you!"

Mo Tianchen frightened Ye Zhinan by threatening to fight back, and they laughed and played along the way. On this mountain, besides Ye Zhinan, there was another noisy Mo Tianchen.

Along the way, both Ye Zhinan and Luo Sheng returned to their residences, and only Zhong Wanning and Mo Tianchen went with them.

Back in the other courtyard, Mo Tianchen immediately discovered the barrier set up in the courtyard to block sunlight, and he didn't even need to think about who it was for.She glanced at Zhong Wanning jokingly: "Yes, Brother Zhong. You really are a treasure in a golden house~"

Before the words finished, Xia Chuyu opened the door to greet her.This made Mo Tianchen laugh secretly.

Zhong Wanning was still the same, ignoring Mo Tianchen's teasing, pointed to the room opposite the other courtyard and said: "This place has been cleaned up, brother Mo can rest here."

Stop joking, Mo Tianchen cupped his fists to express his thanks, and then entered the room.

Now only Zhong Wanning and herself were left, Xia Chuyu smiled uncomfortably, and made way sideways.

Zhong Wanning also stepped into the room.

There seemed to be something more between the two of them, and Xia Chuyu also started to avoid Zhong Wanning.

……

In the evening, Xia Chuyu went back to the inner room to rest. There was only a wall between the two of them. Looking sideways, Xia Chuyu seemed to be able to imagine the meticulous sleeping posture of the person opposite.

There were some arcs around his lips that he didn't notice, and his hands were on the wall.

Under the influence of the yin-thirsty pearl, the resentment began to recover, and the reality of the resentment spirit will always be exposed one day...

When he was distracted, the palm of his hand had already penetrated into the other side of the wall unconsciously. He cried out in his heart that it was not good, so he quickly withdrew his hand and turned over.

The room was quiet for a long time before Xia Chuyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling confused, Xia Chuyu fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the surroundings were indeed pale.

Appearing in a strange place, Xia Chuyu panicked and got up to find the exit, but no matter how she ran, she couldn't escape this pale space.

Bowing his head, his own reflection appeared in the white space, in the form of an evil spirit, dressed in red.

Xia Chuyu couldn't believe it: "How could this happen!"

As he said that, when he looked at his hands, bright red nails had already grown.

Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared in the white space: "Why, after being a harmless spirit body for humans and animals for a long time, don't you remember the fact that you are an evil spirit?"

As the words fell, the figure of the judge appeared beside Xia Chuyu.

Frowning, looking at the person coming, with a bad tone: "You brought me here?"

The judge shrugged and looked around: "Isn't it obvious?"

With a reasonable tone, even through the mask, you can see the appearance of being beaten.

"I have already felt the power of the Yin-thirsty Orb, don't forget our deal."

Is the relationship just to remind myself, Xia Chuyu thought.

"I...may still need some time."

Hearing this, the judge snorted coldly and tossed his black robe: "You better remember."

As she spoke, her figure gradually disappeared in front of Xia Chuyu.

With the disappearance of the judge, the familiar vagueness swept over again.

Opening her eyes again, Xia Chuyu returned to the bed.

The weather is gradually turning to autumn, and the temperature at night seems to be a little bit cooler.

Xia Chuyu, who was not sleepy, simply sat up from the bed, staring at the empty inner room in a daze.Bow your head, where are the red nails on your hands, now, you still look like a spirit body.

Thinking about it, Xia Chuyu felt a little funny. It seemed that since he went up the mountain and entered Zhong's house, he gradually got used to living in a human way, but he forgot that he was just a dead soul.

However, even though he was clearly an evil spirit, how did he transform into a pure spirit body?And this judge, whether in life or after death, has never been seen before, how does he know himself?

There were too many mysteries, Xia Chuyu only felt that her head was in a mess.

A small whisper came from the other side of the wall, which brought back Xia Chuyu's thoughts.

The voice was very thin, like a murmur or a sob, it couldn't be heard clearly, but it was undoubtedly Zhong Wanning's voice.

In order to hear clearly, Xia Chuyu moved closer to the wall, and the whispering continued.

"Wan Lemon?"

He called out tentatively, but no one answered.On the contrary, the voice of raving is getting louder.

In the end, Xia Chuyu, who was still a little worried, turned into smoke and walked through the wall to Zhong Wanning's bed.

The person on the bed seemed to be having a nightmare, frowned and curled up on the bed, muttering something.

Xia Chuyu leaned closer to listen, and only then did she hear clearly.

Unlike the coldness of the past, Zhong Wanning's voice at this time is a little fragile, like a child who has lost his way and can't find a home: "Mother, let me take a look... even just one..."

Xia Chuyu, who heard clearly, got up and looked at Zhong Wanning's appearance and couldn't help laughing. She didn't know Zhong Wanning's background, she only knew that she lost her mother since she was a child.

Tucked the corner of the quilt for Zhong Wanning in the nightmare, and gently combed the scattered hair that was scattered randomly due to restless sleep, and it came into view with a face like white jade.

The sleeping person was still whispering uneasily, so Xia Chuyu imitated her mother and patted Zhong Wanning's back lightly, coaxing him to sleep.

The air of autumn is howling, and the person on the bed curled up, but finally stretched his brows.

The night in the mountains is very quiet, only the lonely moon in the bright sky remains...
