Minors are not allowed to enter

At that moment, it was as if an electric current suddenly broke through his mind.

A picture flashed in Jing Xuan's mind——

Strange and tall plants grew in the pitch-black environment. Pieces of gravel floated under his feet, and those gravels seemed to be lifted into mid-air by some mysterious force, and remained motionless.Dots of faint blue light lit up from nowhere, gathered around him, and then, from a very far away, groups of black shadows flew over.

lark.

Different from the larks in the human world, the half-demon larks are the offspring of the combination of the monster Qingluan representing the extreme sun and the ghost clan representing the extreme yin. They suck yin energy, but they are born with fire, and their feathers are blue. , it will reflect a layer of green light.

A group of half-monsters lined up in a "one" shape, stretching their bodies into graceful lines, and gradually flew past him.Because of this, Jing Xuan could clearly see the pairs of emerald green eyes and the extraordinarily bright red feathers on the top of their heads.

This scene has no beginning or end, but Jing Xuan vaguely feels that it may have happened many years ago.

He has lost his memory for a long time, and has been drifting around in a daze. From the very beginning, he didn't even remember what he was, to slowly remembering some basic things, it took a lot of time.The reason why I squatted in Xie Ran's shop was probably because I felt a familiar atmosphere subconsciously.

Maybe they know each other, Jing Xuan thought.

But if this is the case, Xie Ran's reaction is very strange - he actually didn't resolutely drive him away, but he didn't open his mouth to recognize him either.

Does Xie Ran know him?

Or did he lose his memory too?

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Jing Xuan's mind, but his instinct allowed him to restrain the fluctuation of his expression, instead he smiled and asked without surprise, "Why did you come up here?"

Zhan Huabin and Cheng Cheng turned their heads following his gaze: "Damn it!"

Cheng Cheng's youthful voice was a bit loud, and the big bird's cold eyes swept over and landed on Jing Xuan's face again.

"The enchantment you made?"

Jing Xuan paused: "...Yes."

"Why do you bring ordinary people into this?" Big Bird's face was expressionless, but Xie Ran's tone was teasing for no reason, "You handle it yourself."

"Tsk, I'm really going to make trouble for myself." Jing Xuan shook his head, picked up the unconscious female assistant, then walked towards Zhan Huabin, and said to Cheng Cheng as he walked, "Little devil, we are going to leave That's it—that, my friend, I'm sorry, please forget what happened today."

As he said that, he stretched out a hand and was about to drop it on top of Zhan Huabin's head——

"Wait!" Zhan Huabin subconsciously took his hand, and then shivered with gratitude from the ice-like cold touch.

That is indeed not the temperature that a living person should have.

"This... my lord," he lowered his posture, and asked sadly, "Is what you said just now... Xiaoli really hopeless?"

"If you want to extend one person's life, you have to exchange it with another person's life." Jing Xuan asked, "Whose do you think you can exchange?"

Zhan Huabin thought for a while and asked: "Cheng Yingyi, that scumbag who wanted Xiaoli's life, wouldn't he be punished? Can his life be used to extend Xiaoli's life?"

"Yes." Jing Xuan looked at him seriously, "But the Three Realms and Liuhe have their own rules, and there are clear distinctions among the various races—I'm not a human being, do you understand?"

After all, his hand was about to fall again.

Zhan Huabin: "Wait!"

He got up from the ground and said earnestly: "I understand, but I still hope that my lord will not erase my memory... I will not say a word about what happened today, I just hope that I can remember the method of treating Xiaoli , to find it.”

Jing Xuan thought for a while: "You may not be able to find it."

"Always try."

Jing Xuan let out a "huh", took off his glasses and wiped them.

"But this is against the rules." Xie Ran said suddenly.

The big bird outside the window uttered words abruptly, scaring Zhan Huabin again.But there were too many things that surprised him tonight, he was more concerned about whether Jing Xuan would agree to his request than "birds can talk".

For a moment, three pairs of eyes stared at Jing Xuan at the same time.

Jing Xuan stared at Zhan Huabin with narrow eyes for a while, then suddenly smiled "haha", put on his glasses, and jumped onto the window sill: "Okay, for the sake of your sincerity... kid, let's go !"

Xie Ran quite disagreed: "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"It's okay," Jing Xuan said indifferently, "I'll take care of things."

He pulled up Cheng Cheng who followed him up the window sill, and jumped——

Zhan Huabin rushed to the window: "Hey, wait! Are you really Cheng Cheng?"

Gan Qiuli's ward was on the thirteenth floor, and the wind whistled in her ears when she fell down.

Cheng Cheng's heart tightened.

At this moment, he heard a voice from behind, and Jing Xuan's low voice that seemed to fall into his ears: "He asked you."

I don't know if the extremely fast fall gave Cheng Cheng a little strange feeling, he replaced all his fear with a deep breath, and then shouted: "No——!!!"

It is meaningless to admit that you have been here, it is better to pretend that nothing happened.

The big blue-feathered bird fluttered its wings and plunged into the night; two figures landed on the ground and quickly disappeared under the rain curtain.

The enchantment dissipated at some point, and the noisy voices of people around returned at the same time.

Everything before was like an illusion.

Zhan Huabin was in front of the window, looking at the dark cloud-covered night sky, and was silent for a long time.

……

Among the three of them, Xie Ran is not afraid of the rain, Jing Xuan needless to say, but Cheng Cheng, who has a real body for a short time, is drenched to the ground.

Xie Ran's studio didn't have anything that could be used to dry his body, but it wasn't a big problem - he took off the homeroom teacher's painting skin for Cheng Cheng, and set it on fire.

"Little devil," Jing Xuan drilled over, "Why didn't you admit it just now?"

"So what if I admit it, do you want me to bless him and my mother to live happily together?" Cheng Cheng was a little depressed. He really didn't hate Zhan Huabin as much as before, but it seemed impossible to accept him all at once. .He paused, "By the way, brother Xuan, do you think I can make a show like this woman, and make my dad... angry? Spit it out as it is?"

Jing Xuan smiled: "You want revenge?"

"...No." Cheng Cheng was a little awkward, "I can't say revenge, I just want him to return what he stole, otherwise it would be too unfair... What is this?"

He stared blankly at Jing Xuan pulling out a piece of hair in front of him, and then flipping his wrist, the hair turned into a dagger as thin as a cicada's wings.

"This is your mother's hair." Jing Xuan said, "You can use it as a link, if you..."

He lowered his head and whispered a few words into the confused little ghost's ear.

Xie Ran suddenly turned his head and looked at them calmly with a pair of indifferent eyebrows.

Cheng Cheng was stunned at first, and then completely stunned.

"You decide." Jing Xuan shrugged.

Xie Ran looked at him suspiciously: "What are you going to ask him to do?"

Jing Xuan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Guess."

"...Don't make trouble." Xie Ran frowned, hesitated and said, "I once heard that a ghost clan who broke the rules in the human world was finally caught and boiled in oil for 300 years."

Cheng Cheng: "Hiss—"

"Really?" Jing Xuan seemed to be thinking about something, "But I'm not very afraid of frying."

"..." Xie Ran was speechless, "It's up to you—come in for a while, I have something to ask you."

He walked into the inner room while talking, and Jing Xuan also followed in.

Cheng Cheng hesitated for a while but did not dare to follow, and saw the door slowly closing in front of his eyes.

Although that door is useless to the undead... But this should be the meaning of telling him not to go in, right?

He thought for a while, then floated over to stare at the unconscious female assistant, thinking about what Jing Xuan said just now.

inside the house.

Xie Ran closed the door, turned his head quickly, and stared at Jing Xuan with a pair of eyes.

Jing Xuan was a little inexplicable by him: "Why?"

"In your enchantment..." Xie Ran opened his mouth, then bit his lips subconsciously, as if he wanted to say but didn't dare, he frowned slightly and hesitated for a long while.

Jing Xuan: "Huh?"

Xie Ran was silent for a few seconds before continuing to ask: "In your enchantment, why can't I turn back into a human?"

Jing Xuan blinked: "So you can't change back to become a bird?"

... Then what else?

Since Xie Ran came to the human world, it seems that he has never shown his real body to others, except in Jing Xuan's enchantment, he changed back inexplicably, and he still can't change back.

"I've seen a ghost family before, who can see through all disguises..."

When Xie Ran said this, he raised his eyes suddenly, and saw clearly the bewilderment in Jing Xuan's eyes.

He suddenly felt a little boring, and silently closed his mouth - that was actually a long time ago, when Xie Ran was just born, he was still a bird that hadn't molted, and he didn't have a deep impression of that ghost clan. Now that times have changed, it is too coincidental to meet a random ghost who is an old ghost.

"Forget it," Xie Ran lowered his eyes, "I must have made a mistake."

"Xie Ran." Jing Xuan called him who was about to leave the room, "Do you know me?"

"Ah?" Xie Ran was taken aback.

"You give me a really familiar feeling..." Jing Xuan frowned and thought for a while, "But I don't remember many things."

Xie Ran: "..."

"When I was in the hospital, I just remembered that I may have been to a place with many larks before, maybe it was the territory of the larks?" Jing Xuan said "Tsk", "Unfortunately, I still don't remember more."

Xie Ran's expression became a little weird: "You really don't remember?"

"That's right." Jing Xuan said, "Why should I lie to you?"

"..."

Xie Ran pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, I probably haven't seen you since I became an adult."

"What about before adulthood?"

"Then I don't remember either."

Jing Xuan: "..."

Xie Ran lowered his head, opened the door and went out.

Hearing the voice, Cheng Cheng, who was observing the female assistant's face, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Brother Xie, can you draw a picture of my mother for me?"

Xie Ran glanced over: "Are you going to listen to that old ghost?"

"Who is the old ghost?" Jing Xuan came out of the room, and naturally put his chin on Xie Ran's shoulder, standing behind him with a cold body two fingers away, and said slowly, "I am clearly in my prime. "

"Do you remember how old you are?" Xie Ran slapped Jing Xuan on the side of his face and pushed him down.

Jing Xuan: "..."

He really didn't remember that.

Cheng Cheng was silent for a while, then said: "...I'll stick to the original plan and go see my dad first."

Xie Ran looked at him silently.

After a while, Xie Ran took the lead to look away: "It's up to you."

He is only responsible for drawing pictures for the guests, and there is nothing more he can do.

Humans are a very complicated animal, and sometimes this half-demon is puzzled—although he has been in the human world for a long time and has seen many joys and sorrows.

It is not difficult for Xie Ran to draw a picture of Gan Qiuli, the special "pigment" last time has not been used up yet.

As long as you don't run out, you can keep drawing.

Two hours later, Cheng Chengshun changed into Gan Qiuli's appearance.

For Cheng Cheng, his mother's demeanor and tone needed more time to practice. Seeing that the night was getting late, Xie Ran asked him to go to bed early, and took a bath by himself.

"By the way," Xie Ran asked Jing Xuan while wiping her hair, "What are you going to do with this girl?"

"Leave it alone." Jing Xuan said, "She has a strange yin energy on her body... I'll take another look."

Yin energy in a living person is either related to the ghost clan or the dead soul, both of which are under the control of the ghost world.Xie Ran glanced at him suspiciously, maybe a little bit puzzled why a ghost clan who can't remember anything wants to meddle in the ghost world's business.

But he didn't say anything, just said "don't stay here too long" and went into the house to sleep.

There was only one bed in Xie Ran's studio, and Cheng Cheng, who was wearing a painted skin, couldn't sleep in the flowers, so he made a bed on the floor with Xie Ran's acquiescence, and slept peacefully.

However, in the early hours of the morning, Xie Ran, who was soundly asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

There is still a lingering sound of a very light "click".

It's the light touch when the door lock is turned on and off.

He was stunned for a while, and then his eyes swept to the floor beside the bed——

There is no one there anymore.

"..." Xie Ran sighed, and said to Jing Xuan who had just emerged from the flowers on the wall, "Look at what you have done."

Jing Xuan said innocently: "I really didn't expect him to sneak out in the middle of the night... Chasing him?"

Xie Ran rubbed his brows, and said helplessly, "Do you think he knows where to find his father?"

"Maybe?"

It was more than four o'clock in the morning, and the night dew was still heavy.

When the two went out, even Jing Xuan shuddered, trying to squeeze towards Xie Ran with a shameless face.

"I've always thought it was weird..." Xie Ran kept pushing Jing Xuan aside, "Why are you, a ghost, afraid of the cold?"

"It turns out that the ghost clan...is... not afraid of the cold?" Jing Xuan was so cold that he stumbled a little while speaking.

Xie Ran was stunned for a moment: "It's so cold?"

"Yes, yes... hiss..."

"Then how about..." Xie Ran looked back, they were not far from the studio, "You go back first and wait?"

"No." Jing Xuan shook his head, "Do you think that room can be warm when you're not around?"

Xie Ran: "..."

Dare to feel that this old ghost has been following him because of this.

He shook his head wordlessly, but he didn't forcefully push him away, but told him not to touch his neck as much as possible.

The two maintained a strange balance for a short while, peacefully pursuing the fire left by Xie Ran on Cheng Cheng, chasing all the way.

It was not yet dawn, and there was no one on the street. Cheng Cheng couldn't get in the car, so he had to walk forward with his legs.

Walk for a while, run for a while, and rest for a while.

The surrounding air was heavy, and it seemed unfriendly to Cheng Cheng now, and it didn't take long for him to feel qi deficiency.

Obviously it wasn't like this before.

It was the same when he went to the hospital. He was always sleepy while chatting with Zhan Huabin, and his spirit was not very good. Looking back carefully, it was probably because Xie Ran took a tiny wisp of Yin Qi from his heart when he was making the "pigment" .

Cheng Cheng was not an idiot, he recalled his feelings that day based on his own situation, and quickly guessed that the yin energy might be very important to the dead soul.

He doesn't care about this, since he has chosen, he has no intention of regretting it.

The only problem is that with such physical strength, I might not be able to walk to the empty office park on the other side of the city at night.

And he wasn't sure if the strange father was there.

Taking advantage of the time to rest, Cheng Cheng thought about it carefully.

It seems that since Jingxuan went to dismantle the formation that day, his memory began to gradually return, and the scene of the car accident that day also appeared in his memory.

Thinking about it carefully, the route of the vehicle that hit and killed him was really weird. He didn't step on the pedestrian crossing line at the time, but it wasn't very far away, and although he didn't look at the road, but if I remember correctly, the direction of the vehicle should be red light.

The driver stepped on the brake late, or maybe he didn't step on it at all, and Cheng Cheng's own position was also not right.

It's strange how a car accident happened like this.

However, the weirder it was, the more it seemed to prove that what the female assistant said in the hospital was true.

If he recalled it again, the image of "Dad" became more and more hideous. He controlled it and didn't think about it. The only thought was to see him again and talk to him again.

"Just sneaking out like this, I feel a little sorry for Brother Xie..."

"I know I'm sorry, so I don't slip away." Xie Ran's voice sounded not far behind, "Isn't it good to sleep until morning?"

Cheng Cheng was taken aback by him, and when he turned around, he saw Xie Ran squinting his eyes and yawning indistinctly, with a tired look on his face.

He was suddenly embarrassed: "Brother Xie...you, why are you awake?"

"Think I'm quiet?" Xie Ran looked disgusted, "If someone doesn't feel when they come in and out of the house, I might as well find a deep mountain and old forest to hide."

"Ah..." Cheng Cheng was embarrassed.

"Where are you going to find your dad?"

"Just, just the office park last time..."

"Where is that?" Xie Ran asked Jing Xuan.

Jing Xuan said lazily, "I can lead the way."

"Well," Xie Ran looked at the panting Cheng Cheng again, "Let's go, I'll take you for a ride."

"Is it possible?" Cheng Cheng was a little surprised, "Brother Xie, aren't you...I thought...you didn't support me..."

"I'm just a painting seller, and I have no right to interfere with your choice." Xie Ran said, "Besides, if you don't help me, you won't last long, right?"

Cheng Cheng was taken aback.

It's almost time.

From the time when the yin qi in the heart is drawn out to when the consciousness completely dissipates, each person can hold on to it differently.Cheng Cheng had been floating around for a while after his death, and was still affected by the two interlinked formations, so he persisted for a very short time.

With Xie Ran's help, Cheng Cheng quickly arrived at the new office park at the opposite corner of the city, and found the two-story single-family office building.

The sun finally rose from behind the horizon, revealing a ray of golden light on the horizon.

"Brother Xie," Cheng Cheng swallowed in front of the office building, and said nervously, "I want to go in by myself."

Xie Ran raised his eyebrows.

"Okay." He nodded lightly and took a step back.

He's just a studio owner.

And this is something his guest has to figure out for himself.

"Thank you brother!" Cheng Cheng smiled with Gan Qiuli's face, which could vaguely see the demeanor of his youth, then turned and pushed open the door.

Not locked.

He touched the second floor alone.

Xie Ran found a big rock and sat down, looked at the gradually rising sun and asked: "Do you think his father will be here?"

"Yes." Jing Xuan said, "I feel it."

"Why don't I feel it?"

"It's so cloudy that it almost blends with the surrounding environment. It's really..."

"That's what he wanted too."

"Who knows," Jing Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That day in the car, I heard him reminiscing about the past with that woman, saying that he became rich after meeting a 'master'. Perhaps the allure of prosperity and wealth to the human race is really strong. Is it that big? But let me tell you... what's the use of money."

"..." Xie Ran pursed his lips, "Money can buy bean curd."

"..." Jing Xuan suddenly became serious, "The money is still very useful."

Xie Ran snorted softly, and there was a little smile in those cold eyes.

He has already put back his black pupils, and only when he is illuminated by the sun can he vaguely see a trace of emerald green brilliance.

Jing Xuan looked into his eyes, and suddenly asked: "I teach him revenge, are you really so opposed?"

"What good does it do you to intervene in this kind of thing?" Xie Ran looked at him, "Although, 'eye for an eye' is really in line with your ghost clan's code of conduct."

"The problem is, other ghost clans are already intervening." Jing Xuan said with a smile, "If possible, I would like to meet that woman's teacher."

"Could it be that she was taught by the ghost clan?" Xie Ranqi asked, "What good does this do for the ghost clan?"

"I don't know, how can I remember so much, let's read it again... ah."

Speaking of this, Jing Xuan suddenly raised his head.

He looked at the window on the second floor and said softly, "It's over."

"Yeah," Xie Ran also stood up, and patted the dust off his clothes, "I feel that kid is going to die soon."

"But... the yin energy has not dissipated." Jing Xuan frowned.
