Little Bosses and Little Monsters

Tianwang stared at the crack that started from the edge of the cliff and spread towards their feet, and shouted: "Duliang Peak is about to collapse." Then without giving Shu Jing any chance to react, he handed him over to Hou Qing and jumped from the top of the peak And down.

Hou Qing supported Shu Jing, Jiuying changed back to its original shape without saying a word, one head rolled up Hou Qing Shujing, the other head rolled up the female concubine, wrapped in falling rocks and dust, ran over countless ancient trees and rushed down the mountain.

The mountain was torn apart behind them, and began to collapse from the cliff. The diamond-shaped broken rocks continued to peel off and fall down to the abyss.

The roar of wild beasts came from behind his head. Shu Jing turned his head and saw two entangled wild beasts rushing up to the sky from the bottom of the cliff behind a mess of woods and stone piles. Ferocious, with black scales all over his body like wearing vajra armor; with a huge body, a majestic mouth that can deceive the sun and the moon.

When Jiuying stopped and put the three of them down, they all turned their heads to look at Duliang Peak, which had been completely changed.

Jiangchen and Tianwang reached the sky from the bottom of the cliff, and then hit the plain from under the moon. They seemed to be evenly matched, and they couldn't see clearly because they were both black and bulging. The black hair on his body is majestic and can well conceal the blood, but the wounds on his body are increasing and spreading at a very fast speed.

Shu Jing supported Jiuying's huge body with one hand, while the other hand subconsciously clenched into a fist.His long hair has changed from a sharp steel knife to a pool of ink, flowing obediently behind his head.

Except for the roar of the two beasts, their surroundings were quiet. All the monsters in this plain had already fled from the surrounding area of ​​Duliang Peak because they were afraid of this absolute coercion when they fought Chen and Shu Jing.

The concubine, Houqing and Jiuying watched the situation of the two nervously, thinking about the best time to take the lead for Tianwang. For a while, no one spoke, and even the sound of their breathing was in such a difficult way. Every second is crushed into powder.Hou Qing only turned his head, and found that Shu Jing's face was abnormally pale, and he patted Shu Jing's shoulder worriedly.

"Tianwang is growing very well, don't be afraid."

He can only comfort Shu Jing to trust Tianwang enough, but he can't say that Tianwang is sure to be fine.

With a dull, bloodless face, Shu Jing cracked a weak smile at him: "I know."

Shu Jing thought, there is nothing to be afraid of, if I fail in the end, we will always be together.

The bite between the general minister and Tianwang continued, and the tense atmosphere continued to escalate.Although Tianwang's body is young, his actions are not immature. On the contrary, his soul is extremely old and spicy. The ability to step on the East China Sea and punch Kunlun 5000 years ago is what he brought with him in life and death, and no one can take it away. , so in terms of skills, the general does not have the upper hand, but the general has an absolute advantage, which is his physical body.When the physical body is strong to a certain extent, it is natural to minimize the technical damage.As for the soul, the general knew very well that he was absolutely no match for the strength of the soul of Tianwang's half, so he wisely insisted on fighting with the body.The two fought each other, compared, the general had many shortcomings, but he was invincible with only one long enough long board.

Everyone can see these facts clearly, so Hou Qing hates it even more.It's just that it is difficult for outsiders to participate in such a fierce fight, especially when the tacit understanding between them cannot be guaranteed, they may not be able to help, but may harm the other party.Therefore, although the concubine and the others saw that Tianwang was not in the upper hand, they never made a rash move.But suddenly, Tianwang was bitten by the back of the neck by the general, and he couldn't break free. Seeing that the minister was about to be suppressed, Jiuying suddenly stood up, and Houqing and the concubine rushed to rescue Tianwang regardless of so much. But Shu Jing stopped them with a voice.

He fixed his eyes on the two entangled beasts: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Hou Qing didn't understand what Shu Jing was waiting for, but he was used to believing in all of Shu Jing's decisions. This person has come to this day step by step, and every step has his own arrangements and reasons, so Hou Qing held back his emotions and also He grabbed the anxious concubine and Jiuying.

Tianwang was bitten on the back of the neck, he knew it would not be so easy to get rid of the other party, just like how Jiangchen and Shu Jing had pinched each other and hit the ground, and rolled hard several times, although he managed to get Jiangchen's teeth out of his own body, but a whole piece of blood dripping flesh was also pulled off by the general.Tian Wang lowered his body, panting heavily, his eyes fixed on his target without moving for a moment.

This time the injury was serious, the general was obviously very proud, he actually raised his head high and swallowed Tianwang's meat without chewing.

This was a very insulting provocation, and Tian Wang's facial muscles pulled the corners of his mouth back slowly, but what he showed was not a smile, but sharp white teeth.

They have fought so far, he has hit the generals countless times, but unfortunately the results are not significant, the generals' bodies are too strong, Tianwang's teeth can at most knock off the surface scales, but they can't hurt the depths.On the contrary, as long as the minions of the general minister touched his body, they would goug out a piece of flesh and blood.

Tianwang's four claws gripped the ground tightly, and the blood streams on his body gradually gathered, forming four pools of blood under his feet.Compared with Yinggou, he was already much stronger, but this time his injury was also more serious.His eyes were covered with blood, and the pain prevented him from fully concentrating, but Tianwang didn't even dare to shake his head to shake off the blood on his eyes, and he couldn't take his eyes off the general, he dared not even A momentary distraction.

The brief separation between the two did not ease the atmosphere a bit, the air seemed to be thinner, and something pressed against their throats. If life and death cannot be decided today, this itching will not be stopped.

This emotion also spread to Hou Qing and the others. They waited silently for the moment when the war broke out again, but no one noticed that Shu Jing's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's now!

The next moment, the moment Jiangchen stepped forward to Tianwang again, his front paw stepped out, but it softened without warning.Under the eyes of everyone, he let out an inexplicable howl, which was completely different from any previous roar, full of pain.

From his back, the wound that Shu Jing had smashed out, a wisp of smoke rose, and then from that point, the black scales curled up, the blood evaporated, and the flesh was scorched black. It started at a slow but unnegligible speed. Spread throughout the body.

The general jumped up and down frantically in the same place, but they couldn't alleviate the occurrence of this strange phenomenon.

"That is……"

Something colorless and invisible spread under the general's skin, causing irreversible damage to his physical body.

Hou Qing: "It's Lihuo..."

At the same time, Tian Wang, who was stunned by this sudden situation, also showed nostalgia.

"How is it possible..." Hou Qing looked back at Shu Jing's expression in surprise. "But I saw with my own eyes..."

I saw with my own eyes that Lu Ya separated Li Huo from his own soul, fused one-third of Ji's soul, and sent them into reincarnation together.Lu Ya no longer has Li Huo, and the reborn Tianwang and the others have already tested it, and they don't have the power of Li Huo. Everyone thought that Li Huo had been consumed and disappeared in the process of escorting J's reincarnation, but now Li Huo actually reappeared in the world.

"When did you get back the power of Lihuo?!"

Shu Jing gave him a mysterious look and remained silent.

Tianwang was also surprised by the turn of the situation, but he soon understood what Shu Jing was thinking.The general's greatest support is his physical body, what Shu Jing has to do is to eradicate this support and smooth the way forward for him.It turned out that when Shu Jing repeatedly punched the general in return, it was to open a gap so that Li Huo could be sent into the general's body.This is a very weak small flame, and it cannot be discovered by the generals too early. It is like planting a seed in the general's body, because Lihuo has no solid shape and no temperature, so as long as the outside world attracts the generals' attention long enough Time can unknowingly cause irreparable damage to the body of the general.

When a fire meets an object, it will not be extinguished until it is completely burned. Even if the general keeps rolling on the ground, the flame on his back cannot be extinguished.In such heart-wrenching pain, the general's soul was also shaken, and doubled with his body.

What Tianwang was waiting for was this moment, the blood moon was so red that it was dazzling, the black giant separated a huge phantom in the long roar, and rushed to the general at a speed several times faster than the physical body, biting the general with a precise bite Soul, and retreated, knowing that his spirit was dragged out of his body.

A sigh dissipated from the air, and Shu Jing finally showed his first smile since Tian Wang started beating Jiang Chen.

The ending was already doomed, and they finally won.

Houqing and the concubine also heaved a sigh of relief.

Hou Qing even patted the ashes on his body in the mood, and a pair of peach blossom eyes flew sideways to Shu Jing: "I really can't accept it, my Lord Lu Ya, is there anything that is not under your control?"

Shu Jing smiled and shook her head: "Of course there are. You see, I take every step of the way. In fact, half of it is gambling."

In fact, no one knew that a month ago, he was really planning to die with the general, but during that time, the things in his hands always disappeared inexplicably. A trace of Lihuo reappeared in his body. Although it was very faint, he was as familiar with Lihuo as he was with his own hands and feet, so he would never admit his mistake. Those accidents should be due to his failure to understand without knowing it. Control Lihuo well, causing the things he touched to be burned into nothingness by Lihuo.

When he just found out about this, Shu Jing was half-dead and puzzled, how could Li Huo, who had been lost for 5000 years, return to his body inexplicably, until Tianwang caught the opportunity to pester him one night, and the next day When he woke up, he found that the Li Huo in his body had actually grown a little stronger, and Shu Jing realized it with black lines all over his head.

It seems that although Li Huo was used to stabilize Ji's complete soul and help him reincarnate, after all, his spirituality and arrogance were unwilling to be used by others, and he actually found a chance to return to his master's body with the help of Tianwang's energy.

Since then, Shu Jing has kept that silk of Lihuo while secretly changing his plan, from the determination to die to the mentality that there may be a glimmer of life.

But Shu Jing absolutely didn't intend to let Houqing know how to get back Lihuo in such an embarrassing manner.

This night, the demon world was very peaceful, but it was also exceptionally quiet.All the monsters understood the fact overnight that the king of monsters who had disappeared for 5000 years had returned. His howling pierced through the black clouds and carried through under the blood-red moon in the monster world, sweeping across the plains, mountains and rivers ,ocean……

In a few days, the news will also spread to the underworld and the human world. At the same time, with Yu's return, some people may know that there are traces of Lihuo under the collapsed Duliang Peak, and the person on Yudao Island in the North Sea also Finally decided to return.

***

Three days after the human world, in the old town of Haicheng, Yulin Lane.

The girl in the red skirt opened the iron door and walked out of the narrow wooden door holding a feather duster. The morning light leaked and the breeze was blowing.Holding a small black umbrella in the other hand, the girl stood on tiptoe to dust off the signboard on the door. The ordinary wooden signboard was engraved with the words "There is a story" in plain calligraphy.

Under her feet, two little heads poked out from the threshold, a little macaque and a kitten came out of the door with their front and back feet, and rolled twice on the big bluestone in front of the door, feeling carefree in the humid early morning air. Play carelessly.

The bookstore usually has to wait until the sun rises to have business, and the girl packs everything leisurely.

Suddenly there were several footsteps of varying severity behind her.

The girl who was facing the door couldn't help but curled up her mouth, then immediately suppressed it, and turned around after regaining her expressionless face.

Shu Jing with a warm smile, Tian Wang with a yawn, Hou Qing with frivolous eyes, the cold and tall Jiu Ying, and the beautiful and cunning daughter-in-law came from the entrance of the alley.

Walking is either leisurely, serious, or sloppy, but the same calmness, the same, with the firmness that must return.

After the matter with the general was settled, there was no need for the concubines and others to stay long, so Jiuying left first to go home to watch Pingpeng.Hou Qing had been pestering Xiaohe to bandage the little skin on his fingers, but he was rejected without any surprise. He shook his head and went out, leaving a sentence, "Although this world is not big, there are many people in it." Interesting, I haven't seen enough of it."

The daughter-in-law smiled and shook her head and cursed: "It's still the same, it's not in shape."

Shu Jing took out another pair of glasses from the drawer behind the desk and put them on, and said to the daughter-in-law: "When he was working under your father, I didn't know him very well. Is this virtuous?"

"At that time, everyone in the army knew that it was better to believe that Kunlun would collapse than to believe what Hou Qing said."

"It seems to have a really bad reputation."

"His elder brother is also my father's general, but he is much more stable than him, but it's no wonder he is a brother. No matter what Houqing says, his elder brother can tell the truth or lies, but he is also the one who favors the empress most. Qing, I see, if it wasn't for his elder brother's protection, Hou Qing would have been surrounded and beaten by others."

Shu Jing suddenly remembered that after he rescued Hou Qing, he had seen Hou Qing go to pay homage to an unnamed tomb. At that time, Shu Jing had never seen Hou Qing's expression at other times.

Seeing that he had stopped talking, the concubine stood up and said, "Since the general has been dismissed, it's time for me to leave."

Shu Jing nodded: "Thank you, Princess Concubine, for coming to help me this time."

The daughter-in-law shook her head in shame: "Speaking of which, I didn't do much to help."

"Princess Concubine, don't worry, turn around, I might even ask you for a favor from the underworld."

"What is it?" the woman asked suspiciously.

"When the time comes, you will naturally know."

The daughter-in-law nodded: "Alright." She turned her head to look at Tianwang who had been tidying up the bookshelf silently—the white papers he had turned over were still scattered all over the floor.

Seeing that she was not moving, Shu Jing said, "I'm going to buy some breakfast" and went out.

In the study room, there were only the nuns standing still and Tianwang who was engrossed in the book.

"Master Yu..."

"Don't call me that, I'm Tianwang now." Tianwang said without looking back.

"Tianwang, I'm waiting for you in the underworld, you can come and get your soul back at any time."

Tianwang paused and turned around unexpectedly.

The concubine smiled and said, "This is your thing, now you only need the last third of my soul."

Tianwang patted the ashes on his hands, shrugged: "No need."

The concubine didn't expect him to reject her without hesitation, and asked in surprise: "Don't you want to get back your power?"

Tianwang sneered: "What do I want to be so strong now? Fuxi and Nuwa are dead, and the generals are gone. Who else in the three realms can threaten us? I don't have that much free time. These so-called powers can protect us. It is enough for the people you want to protect, to do what you want to do, to live the life you want to live.”

He has never had any ambitions. 5000 years ago, he only wanted to fish with Lu Ya on Yudao Island and drink tea on Tangting Mountain.They lived a carefree life and had nothing to do with others, but they also suffered from the unreasonable disaster for no reason.What about now?Now, the old people are all a piece of loess, and the books contain stories that people are happy to see, and those memories of joy or hatred will disappear without a trace, and no one will disturb them again.

They can change cities every ten years, open the "There is a Story" bookstore to any place they want to go, only listen to the stories they want to hear, and only see the people they want to see.

Even if time eventually comes to a day, no one knows them, it doesn't matter.Lu Ya and Yan, they never lived in the word of mouth of others thousands of years ago, so they were naturally forgotten in the long river of time.

Today and in the future, they can share sweetly with themselves. There is such a story that no one else has heard:

This story has two protagonists;

This story has a pair of listeners.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the concubine didn't seem to know what else to say.

It happened that Shu Jing walked in with soy milk and fried dough sticks, and the sound of Putuo Spider's ringing bell broke the silence in the study.

Tianwang's gaze collided with Shu Jing at the right time, like water flowing over fine sand and gradually moistening each other, like cotton candy rubbing lightly with the wind, like bubbles under the sun falling on a calm lake and melting with a "boo" as one.

He walked towards the man and took his hand.

Shu Jing wanted to pull people to her side, but Tian Wang pulled her back and staggered two steps forward.

He stumbled and pressed Tianwang's chest, before he raised his head, he felt Tianwang put his fingers into his mouth to hold them.

Warm lips and tongue attached to the cold fingertips.

It seems that the snake that has survived the severe winter has found a warm nest.

The two looked at each other, couldn't help smiling, and walked leisurely towards the back door hand in hand.

Behind a storybook house, there is a small courtyard unknown to outsiders.

The sunlight in the yard is neither scorching hot nor dim; the wind blowing past is neither noisy nor stagnant.

Everything is so fitting, and the peace at this moment is long enough to spread long into the future.
