hell in disguise

After discussing with Tan Yangzi, Yan Fei and Tan Yangzi decided to stay one more day to finish copying the second volume, and then take the original and the copybook away.Give one to Liu Yusheng and one to Alido.In this way, they owe nothing to anyone.

Yan Fei read and copied.But the more I went to the back, the more I felt that those words seemed to be distorted and deformed in my eyes, making me dizzy and unsustainable.He stopped writing, shook his head vigorously, and rubbed his eyes.At this time, Tan Yangzi took some spring water from outside with a banana leaf and handed it to Yan Fei, "Let's rest for a while."

The snake demon and the fox demon were not in the cave, saying they had gone out to look for food.

Yan Fei took the banana leaf, smiled at his master, and drank a few gulps.At this time Tan Yangzi picked up the pen and wanted to write for him for a while, but Yan Fei pressed his hand, shook his head and said, "Master is fine, let me do it."

"I see that your complexion is not very good, are you sick?" Tan Yangzi said, touching his forehead with his hand.

"No, I'm probably just a little tired. Get a good night's sleep and you'll be fine." What Yan Fei didn't say was that he was actually a little curious about the contents of the book.

A god is full of pity and sympathy for those beings in hell who are rejected by other five realms. It is no wonder that other gods are hostile to him and regard him as a demon.But the longer I watched him, the more I felt that he was indeed a very attractive person. His vision had surpassed the six realms, and he regarded all living beings as one, instead of distinguishing them by various appearances.Although his compassion was regarded as stupid and contrived by many fellow heavenly beings, who ridiculed him, he remained unmoved and insisted on his ideals.

It's no wonder that God Ziwei regards him as a thorn in his side, and uses various methods to discredit him, join forces with the Three Kindnesses to destroy him, and even use such low-handed methods as reneging on his promises to trap him in the name of peace talks.

After a short break, he continued to copy.Tan Yangzi walked out of the cave in silence, raised his face slightly to bask in the warm sunlight.Although Yan Fei assured that he didn't know anything, the uneasiness in Tan Yangzi's heart continued to expand.His intuition told him that something important was happening, but he couldn't find the key point of it.

But at this moment, there was a burning pain in his palm.Raising his hand, he saw a judge's order gradually appearing in the center of his palm.

A new mission, this time in Bianliang City.

Tan Yangzi sighed and clenched his palms.

After nightfall, the snoring of the big fox in the cave was loud, but Tan Yangzi could only endure it by himself and meditated to practice the longevity technique.But Yan Fei finally finished copying the second volume, and fell asleep in a dazed mind.

In the dream, he saw himself standing in a strange place.There is shallow water on the ground, and fine white sand under the water. The whole land is like a mirror, reflecting the boundless blue sky and the layered and changing clouds in the blue sky.At a glance, there is a faint layer of cloud and smoke floating in the distance, and it is difficult to distinguish whether you are in the sky or on the ground.

There is nothing here, as if it does not belong to any corner of the world.Even the air carried an air of nothingness that didn't belong to any one.

He looked around blankly and walked aimlessly.Although it was aimless, there seemed to be an invisible force pulling him.He didn't wear shoes on his feet, and when he stepped in the cold water, ripples rippled out in circles, slowly spreading across the entire land.

In the far distance, at the end of the day where the water meets, there is a faint black dot.Driven by an inexplicable sense of mission, Yan Fei quickened his pace until he turned into a trot in the end, heading towards the black spot.In the aimless wind, some kind of whisper could be vaguely heard, such as calling, such as urging, but it was impossible to distinguish what was being said.

Finally, he gradually approached.It was a blue-black stone the size of a small mountain. The stone was engraved with densely packed celestial incantations, and each stroke was filled with a scarlet ominous light.There are also many golden chains wrapped around the stone, and the chains are covered with charms written in some kind of silk satin that flows with faint light.And the surrounding of the stone is also filled with circles of heavenly language formations, flickering and flickering through a layer of transparent water.

The closer he got to this stone, the more urgent and anxious he felt, as if his feet no longer belonged to him, but had his own will, rushing towards the huge bluestone in front of him.

But the moment his feet stepped onto the magic circle, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his whole body, as if all the muscles and bones in his body had been dismantled and pulled out.Immediately afterwards, a huge force pushed him out, knocking him out.Countless strange images flashed before my eyes at the moment when I lost weight, the fairyland with rising purple clouds, the icy wasteland, the burning land, the endless black sky... Many, many faces flashed by, strange but inexplicably familiar, Before he had time to think about who it was, he disappeared into the turbulent flow of the picture again.

He saw a figure standing in the distance, his whole body exuding dazzling light.There are seven treasure lotuses under her feet, and the Tianxiang Zen robe is dancing with the wind. Although she is standing far away, everything around her seems to be attracted to her. The most extreme holiness has become the most irresistible charm.

However, only for a moment, this figure was submerged by some kind of black mist.Yan Fei wanted to catch up, but suddenly felt that he could not move his feet.He lowered his head, but saw countless hands stretched out from the ground, holding him tightly.He struggled hard, but there were more and more hands, and the strength was getting stronger and stronger, making him unable to move.Those hands rose like a jungle, grabbed his legs and hands, pulled his hair, and pressed his mouth and nose.He was pulled into the abyss and quickly overwhelmed with no escape.

His body was shaken violently, he woke up and saw Master's worried eyes, and a fox face forced into his field of vision...

"Master?"

"Are you having a nightmare?" Worry pent up between Tan Yangzi's brows.

The fox behind complained loudly, "You barked like a butcher, you scared grandpa to death!"

Yan Fei touched his throat, it was indeed aching.And there were a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.He vaguely felt that the dream just now was different from the past, and the golden figure in the dream was also very disturbing, but he didn't want Master to worry.So he raised a smile, "I'm fine."

Tan Yangzi was obviously not persuaded.It's been two nights in a row, and Yan Fei doesn't suffer from nightmares like him.

Did the Sutra of the Six Desires have any influence on him?

When it was daylight, the two packed their bags, said goodbye to the three-tailed fox and the snake demon Huaqi, and then began to descend the mountain.After the two-day trip, they returned to the posthouse in Pingshan Town to rest, but before they left, they heard that a thunderbolt fell in Luosong Valley for no reason, and the raging fire ignited soared into the sky, devouring the grass and trees in a radius of several miles.If it didn't rain again soon, I'm afraid the fire would be so fierce that it wouldn't be able to stop.

How could thunder and thunder suddenly fall from the sky in such a blue sky?Tan Yangzi and Yan Fei were a little worried about the fox and snake demon, and discussed whether they should go back and take a look.But that night, someone knocked on the window of the two of them suddenly. Yan Fei opened the window, but was surprised to see that Hua Qi turned into a human body, hanging upside down from the eaves, with black hair hanging down the window sill. stroke.

Yan Fei was so scared that he almost fell over, but fortunately, the snake demon said in that hissing voice, "It's me, Hua Qi."

Yan Fei was so angry that he wanted to curse, "What are you doing hanging there in the middle of the night!"

"I climbed over from the roof." Hua Qi said, turned over lightly, and sat on the window sill, leaning against the window frame weakly and bonelessly, "Smelly Fox and I are afraid that you two will hear about the mountain. The fire incident came back again, so I would like to remind you, don’t go into the mountains. We are all fine, and now we have gone to hide elsewhere.”

Tan Yangzi also came over at this time, but there was some suspicion in his eyes, "How do you know that we are here, and how do you know that we plan to go back?"

Hua Qi said indifferently, "There is such a post house at the foot of the mountain. I guessed it. Well, the letter has been brought. I'm leaving." As soon as the words fell, he dodged away, only in time to see a blue snake tail It flashed across the eaves and disappeared.

Tan Yangzi frowned, thinking to himself: Could it be that the snake demon and the fox demon have been following them?If it is not for tracking, how can we be sure that they will stay in the post house instead of leaving immediately?How do you know they plan to go back.After all, they just met by chance, and he may not really go back.

What's even more strange is, what happened to Lei that day?

Is it related to him and Yan Fei?

Yan Fei also had doubts in his heart. Seeing that the master didn't speak, he also guessed all kinds of things.But rather than finding out what happened in the mountains, he wanted to go back to his home near Bianliang as soon as possible, so he suddenly approached Tan Yangzi, reached out and rubbed his forehead, "Master, don't think about it, we're going to sleep Bar!"

Tan Yangzi blushed and said, "I'm going to sleep on the couch."

"Master, this bed is so big! Why go to the couch, it's uncomfortable!"

"I love sleeping on the couch!"

"Master, I just want to hug you to sleep, and I will never do anything else! I swear!"

"..."

"Master~~~~"

"...Really? I have to go on the road tomorrow, I want to rest early."

"Really! If I do something I'll wear my clothes inside out for three days!"

So the next day, when Tan Yangzi, whose back was so sore that he couldn't straighten up, was riding tremblingly on the horse, seeing Yan Fei who was in a good mood while riding the horse with his clothes on his back, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth ring.

............................................................

The summer in Bianliang is always a bit sweltering, and only at night can you occasionally get a little bit of coolness.Therefore Zhao Yuanwai always likes to open the windows when he sleeps in the summer night, letting the night wind with the fragrance of tuberose blow into the room and lift layers of light curtains.

In the darkness, Zhao Yuanwai's eyes were wide open, without a trace of sleepiness.

Beside him lay a beautiful woman.This is his concubine who has just been brought into the mansion, named Caizhu.This Caizhu was just this year, a few years younger than his daughter. When they got married, there was a lot of trouble in the family. His wife of 30 years went back to her natal family in a fit of anger. The daughter was so angry that she didn't talk to him for several days.But he doesn't care about these.He is over 50 years old and has no children in his life.The inexplicable sense of crisis made him anxious all day long, and he always wanted to have another child.And this Caizhu was a maid who had just entered the mansion. She was not beautiful, but she was young and soft, and she always had a masochistic posture of letting you do whatever she wanted on the bed. Got dizzy.So he didn't care whether he would lose his wife and daughter, and married the maid into the house regardless of everyone's opposition. After that, he was happy every day, and it was a fairy life for a while.

But recently, he always felt that something was wrong with this colored bead.

Her neck... seems to be getting longer?

At first he thought it was just that he had misread it, or thought too much.What fascinated him at first, wasn't Caizhu lowering her head, revealing the swan-like long neck under her collar?

Until that day, he slept until midnight, and suddenly woke up inexplicably.Opening his eyes in a daze, he saw Caizhu's face not far from his.He didn't care, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

It wasn't until the next morning that he felt that something was wrong.

He slept on the outer side, and when he woke up at night, he faced the open window, and he still clearly remembered seeing the shadow of tuberose outside the window.

But... Cai Zhu obviously slept on the side next to the wall?

In other words, Caizhu's face, which was supposed to be sleeping behind him, appeared in front of him... What's going on?

And in the past two days, how he looked at it, how did he feel that Caizhu's neck was a little weird and a little scary.Even... It seems that even the head is starting to shake.

But Caizhu didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong, and continued to serve him as usual.And those servants who served them also looked a little afraid of Caizhu.

Zhao Yuanwai turned his head, Caizhu who was sleeping beside him was still sleeping peacefully, his long neck stretched all the way into the quilt, and he couldn't see his body, which made him look even more weird.

Zhao Yuanwai suddenly shivered.He didn't want to think about it any more, turned his back, closed his eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Sleeping until midnight, he suddenly heard someone calling, "Master."

Zhao Yuanwai opened his eyes, and saw Caizhu poking her head out of the open window under the moonlight, smiling at him, but her eyes were still closed, and she called softly, "Master."

Member Zhao frowned, "It's midnight, what are you doing outside?"

But Caizhu didn't answer, she still leaned her head by the window and smiled at him with her eyes closed.

At this time, a chill suddenly spread from the soles of his feet, and he didn't know what the sudden thought was, so Yuanwai Zhao decided to turn his head and look behind him.

After seeing this, he couldn't hold his breath, his eyes stared into a terrified expression.

Behind him, Caizhu was still lying quietly.It's just that there is nothing at the top of the long, thin white neck.
