hell in disguise

Tan Yangzi didn't know what kind of disease Yan Fei was suffering from. He really didn't understand the heart of a teenager.He shook his head, dried his body, put on a loose white single robe, and untied his hair, opened the window and smelled the warm fragrance of spring.It is impossible to smell such a smell in hell. There is only the pungent smell of sulfur and acid. After smelling for a long time, it seems to be rotting from the inside of the body.

After a while, Yan Fei finally came back, his face was still red, and he was out of breath, as if he had been running outside for a long time.He was still holding the peach blossom tightly in his hand, but a few buds had obviously fallen off.

Tan Yangzi raised his eyebrows, "What did you do?"

Yan Fei didn't dare to look at him, he walked to the table with his head down and put the peach blossoms in an empty porcelain vase, stammering, "I...I'm going out for a walk..."

"Why are you sweating profusely from walking... I'll ask Xiaoer to change a bucket of water, and you can wash it too." Tan Yangzi said that he was about to go out to call for help, but was stopped by Yan Fei, "No, I'll just wash it off." Just wash it off with your water."

Tan Yangzi frowned, "How can this work, the water is already dirty."

"It's okay." Yan Fei's face turned even redder for some reason.

Seeing him so strange, Tan Yangzi didn't bother to distinguish, so he let him go.At this time the night was getting darker, so Tan Yangzi went to bed first and lay down, listening to the occasional sound of water coming from behind the screen, wandering between dream and waking in a daze for a while.He vaguely felt that someone had crawled onto the bed, and the familiar smell of wormwood permeated Yan Fei's body, so he knew that it was Yan Fei who had come to sleep, so he moved it inside to make room for him.

But he didn't expect that warm body to snuggle up like a shadow, his forehead resting on his shoulder, and his arms were hugged.Tan Yangzi still had a faint smile on his lips in the bewilderment. At such a big age, he still likes to hold his arm when he sleeps like he did when he was a child.

In the haze, there seemed to be something light and soft pecking on the cheek.

The journey of the next few days is similar to the first day, traveling during the day and resting at the post station or the inn in the town at night.After doing this for half a month, I can finally see from a distance the vast city wall spread out against Xianshan Mountain, separated by a jade belt-like Xiangshui River in the middle, and the evening glow of Qingbo adds a touch of tenderness to the grandeur.

As soon as they entered the city, they found that the atmosphere in the city was strange.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and the doors of every house are closed.The originally crowded shops were also deserted, with a layer of numbness and indifference on people's faces, and no sound of laughter or joy could be heard.

Yan Fei was a little surprised. Although he had never been to Xiangyang, he had heard that Xiangyang was a prosperous city no less than Bianliang, but looking at it now, why did it look like a depression?

Tan Yangzi also wondered, "Didn't you say that there were eight murders in one month, although there are many, it's not enough to disturb the whole city like it is now?"

"Eight murders of fathers and mothers, a total of eleven people died. I have been away for a month, I am afraid that there are more than eight cases now. The series of cases before have made everyone known Now, there are rumors everywhere in the city, some say that a strange disease is raging, some say that it is possessed by a demon, and some say that an expert has cast a curse, but they all predict that this matter is not over yet." Dasa Moluo's face was serious. , looking at the restaurant with its door closed, "People believe that this curse will spread throughout the city, and all parents may be killed by their children who suddenly go crazy. Some parents are at the same time someone else's Children, while guarding against their own children, they have to be guarded by their own parents, and the closest people have lost trust. As far as I know, many panicked people even lock their children in the cellar to prevent thieves The same precautions. Some parents even unite together to spread those rumors everywhere, asking everyone to lock up their children until the curse passes. The government can’t control it.”

The parent-child relationship, which was supposed to be the most indestructible bond in the world, was severely shaken by a series of murders and rumors.

"Maybe it's because we have a strong attachment to family? Family is the foundation of a city and a country. If relatives in the family are suspicious and wary of each other, they must be full of hostility to the outside world. Eight murders are enough to disrupt the entire family. It's a city." Yan Fei said in a nonchalant and even sarcastic tone, "Those parents still say how much they love their children, now that something has happened, isn't self-preservation the most important thing?"

Tan Yangzi glanced at Yan Fei.He knew that Yan Fei had always harbored resentment for his biological parents for selling him out, so it was normal for him to sneer at this moment.Thinking of this, I felt a little pity for Yan Fei in my heart.

They ghosts don't know what a family is or what a parental relationship is.There have been many parents who have been reincarnated in the human world over the years, but most of them were abandoned because they were babies who were not expected.Even if you are lucky enough not to be abandoned by your family, when your memory awakens, your feeling of family affection will fade away.But in the depths of his heart, in a corner buried by numerous memory karma, he still has a little longing for the intimate bond similar to his relatives.

In the past ten years, although Yan Fei was only his apprentice, he was the first one to give him this kind of feeling like a family member.He thought that even if Yan Fei might suddenly go crazy and kill him, he would not be willing to lock that young man who loves to laugh and act like a baby in a dark cellar.Therefore, he was increasingly unable to understand why some parents gave up their children based on speculation, and how some parents sold their children as goods because the family was poor.

Dasa Moluo is also a well-known fortune teller in the local area, and there is a small house in the east of the city as his and Hong Wuchang's foothold in the world.This time, Tan Yangzi and Yan Fei didn't need to stay in the inn or go to the gymnasium to place orders, and went directly to live in the west wing of his house.

Dasa Moluo's Hongwuchang Kuma Moluo is a beautiful and mature woman about 30 years old, who considers herself as Mr. Tao Min's wife in the world.As soon as she opened the door and saw Daza Moluo, she showed a bright and compelling smile, and then saw Tan Yangzi behind him, that smile was slightly retracted, but then she saw Yan Fei who was smiling cutely beside Tan Yangzi, then The smile suddenly bloomed more beautifully than ever before.

"Oh! Where did this little brother come from, so cute!"

Yan Fei called obediently, "Hello, sister."

Sister's words from those ruddy and beautiful lips are enough to soften the heart of any woman in the world.The maternal brilliance in Kuma Moluo's eyes was so intense that it almost overflowed his eye sockets. He stretched out his hand and wanted to pinch Yan Fei's tender and fair face, but Tan Yangzi blocked it without a trace before reaching halfway.

Tan Yangzi's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he sneered, "It's not that you were seriously injured, why are you still so lustful?"

Kuma Moro and Tan Yangzi have always been at odds with each other when they meet, which often makes Dasa Moro, who is an old peacemaker, at odds with each other.Seeing this, she had no choice but to withdraw her hand, snorted softly, and said in her mouth, "Where did you abduct such a good child, Hardwood, it's a pity to follow you."

Yan Fei opened his eyes wide. It was the first time he heard someone dare to talk to Tan Yangzi like that.

Tan Yangzi raised the corners of his mouth contemptuously, "You can ask him if he wants to follow me or you?"

"Okay, okay." Dasa Moro hurriedly stood between the two, put his arm around Kuma Moro's waist and led her to turn around and walk to the main room, "It's been a long time since we met, bickering like What. You are not feeling well, don't catch a cold."

Tan Yangzi followed behind them, observed Kuma Moro carefully, and could indeed see that her rouged cheeks were actually very pale, her lips had no blood color, her steps were even more sloppy, and her breathing was unsteady.

This is the first time Yan Fei has seen the real Hongwuchang. He looked at the two people in front of him curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Master, are they husband and wife?"

"In the human world, yes." Tan Yangzi said, "There is no such thing as a husband and wife in hell."

"Then... are all Qing Wuchang and Hong Wuchang husband and wife in the human world?"

"Of course not." Tan Yangzi sneered, as if he thought the question was funny, "Sometimes they pretend to be brothers and sisters, sometimes they pretend to be masters and apprentices, and there are also those who pretend to be masters and servants. As long as it is a convenient identity, anything is fine. .”

But Yan Fei still looked at him with that focused and quiet gaze, as if he didn't listen to his words at all.

Tan Yangzi and Yan Fei settled down, and had a meal with Dasa Moluo and his wife.During the period, Tan Yangzi asked more about Kuma Moluo's injury, but could not get more information.Kumar said that she didn't have time to see what she had hit, but she felt that her whole body was burning suddenly, and she hurriedly withdrew from the consciousness of the middle-aged man in order to protect herself.

After a meal, she coughed again and again, and her face was tired.Seeing this, Tan Yangzi knew that she was seriously injured, and she really shouldn't continue to stay in the human world.Dasa Moro seemed to think so too, so as soon as the meal was over, he helped Kuma Moro to the bed, held her hand and reassured her that Tan Yangzi would help him deal with the matter here.

Kuma Moro nodded weakly, then closed his eyes, a red rune faintly appeared between his brows.When the rune dissipated, her breathing and heartbeat stopped suddenly, and she suddenly became a corpse.

However, Yan Fei knew that she was not dead, but her body had gone back to hell, so only this human skin was left in the world.When Tan Yangzi returned to hell, he would always hide his body in a safe place. Later, when he had a home with Yan Fei, he left his body at home and Yan Fei took care of it.Their bodies still have a ray of connection with the main body, so they will not be corrupted, but they still have to be careful not to suffer major injuries, otherwise the main body in hell will also be injured.

Yan Fei looked at Tan Yangzi who was standing silently aside, and the familiar curiosity rose in his heart again.He still doesn't know what Tan Yangzi's body looks like in hell.

Looking at the reactions of some ghosts caught by Tan Yangzi in the past, it seems to be very scary?
