Burning fire

The land of the underworld, the Hall of Yama.

Zhang Jueming stood opposite King Yama, holding the punishment in his hand.The flames of the tart punishment were shining brightly, and the flames approached the altar.

"What is Master Shangui going to do? Do you want to fight me?" King Yan Luo shook his sleeves and stood up.

He took a step forward, getting closer to Zhang Jueming, not afraid of Zhang Jueming's punishment.

"Don't dare." Zhang Jueming said coldly.

"Then you brought out the punishment to scare me?"

"My lord is joking." Zhang Jueming took back the punishment, "I don't have that ability."

Yan Luowang looked at Zhang Jueming with an unfriendly expression, he put his hands behind his back, turned around twice on the spot, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"What do I want to ask, doesn't your lord know? Why pretend to be confused." Zhang Jueming glanced at the black and white impermanence behind King Yama.

King Yan Luo was silent for a moment, then waved his hands, and said to Black and White Wuchang: "You go down first."

"Yes." Black and White Wuchang stepped back.

Zhang Jueming then continued: "I don't know if it's because your underlings are negligent. I found hundreds of ghosts at the foot of a barren mountain in Jishou last night. Dare I ask you, why haven't those ghosts been detained in the underworld?" ?”

Yan Luowang already knew it in his heart, Zhang Jueming punctured his words, it was inevitable, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Jueming: "My lord won't answer, then I will continue."

"Because it's a living soul. The lifespan in the book of life and death is not exhausted, so the errands didn't detain the soul." Zhang Jueming's eyes were cold, "Thousands and hundreds of people leave their souls before they reach the end of their lifespan. For such a big matter, Even if there is no instruction in the book of life and death, why hasn't Yan Luodian discovered any clues in these years?"

Zhang Jueming: "Is Yan Luodian deaf or blind? He can't even hear the wind!"

"Zhang Jueming! You're presumptuous!" King Yan Luo was furious, and with a flick of his sleeve, he shot out two ghostly auras, which shot straight at Zhang Jueming's chest!

Zhang Jueming stood where he was, didn't hide even half a step, and waited for the blow.Seeing this, King Yan Luo immediately waved his sleeves again, and the two ghostly auras suddenly turned, brushed against Zhang Jueming's shoulders, hit the stone wall behind him, and poked two holes in the stone wall.

"Since you got back the nameless lamp this time, I don't care about it." Yan Luowang said, "In the future, I hope that Lord Shangui will guard the Nine Nether Gate and don't meddle in other things."

"Meddling your own business?" Zhang Jueming remained unmoved, "How did the nine pylorus gates break open back then? Why did my mother devote herself to be a seal? Isn't your lord going to explain it?"

King Yan Luo was startled, and quickly turned his head to stare at Zhang Jueming.

"Actually, you have long suspected that the nameless lamp is alive." Zhang Jueming was not polite, tearing his face completely.

Zhang Jueming: "The Nine Nether Gates cracked open, and then the Zhou family was murdered because of the unicorn blood. The five holy things are connected with each other. Since the unicorn blood, one of the five holy things, appeared, it is reasonable for the nameless lamp to appear in this world."

"So many wronged souls died in vain. My lord is not mediocre, and he has already made up his mind!" Zhang Jueming was so angry that he asked Yama, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because the other party is a Dragon Clan? What is it about the Dragon Clan that makes you so afraid?"

"Zhang Jueming!" King Yan Luo poured out his anger, and then yelled in a low voice as a warning.

Zhang Jueming exhaled, and chuckled coldly: "Or, you didn't tell me anything because the adults don't trust me?"

"That's right, I'm a half-human, half-ghost bastard. In this land of the deep abyss, no one would like me."

Zhang Jueming's sentences were sharp and he never gave up.Such arrogance and rudeness made Yan Luo Wang angry and surprised at the same time.

This aggressive appearance is not like Zhang Jueming at all.This is not in line with Zhang Jueming's usual obedience and forbearance.

Zhang Jueming really sucks this time, maybe he should go crazy more than anyone else.Not only the truth of the year, but Qiao Jun's death.This matter also involved Zhou Qizun.Zhang Jueming didn't have a clean and warm spot all over his body, he knew it himself.But these two warm people on the tip of their hearts are the only ones who can't be moved by the wind and rain.

Furthermore, there are thousands of innocent living souls, they should not have sunk in the abyss and black land that will never be restored.Many of them could have had more happy times.

Like Lei Dongyang, like Lin Zongbai... There are so many of them, it's too late to take a look at the one they love.

"Why didn't your lord stop talking?" Zhang Jueming closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions, "Did I say something wrong?"

There was no wavering on Yan Luowang's face, and his voice fell steadily: "You are right, I have nothing to say."

"Zhang Jueming, since you are the gatekeeper of the Jiuyou Gate, then take good care of your Jiuyou Gate." King Yan Luo spoke loudly, "You have no right to ask about other matters."

Zhang Jueming and Yan Luowang looked at each other, he knew in his heart that this old ginger was spicy, and it was impossible to pry anything out of his mouth.

Zhang Jueming took a step back, and after a while he closed his eyes, bowed his head and bowed to King Yama.

The etiquette is thoughtful, but Zhang Jueming's attitude is not the slightest bit softer: "Since my lord doesn't trust me, I'll check it myself. If I offend you, I'll go first."

Zhang Jueming straightened his back, turned his head and left Yan Luodian.He walked steadily, passed the shadow of ghosts and ghosts, summoned the red leopard at the gate of the hall, turned and leaped, rode on the red leopard's fire back, and went away in a sea of ​​beautiful red flowers.

Yan Luowang kept staring at Zhang Jueming's back until he disappeared from his sight.

It took a long time for King Yan Luo to shake off the anger in his heart and let out a deep sigh.

He raised his chin slightly, facing the direction of Jiuyoumen: "Qiao Jun, your son has grown up."

"I think when you first brought him here, he was still a little mute who hid behind you and couldn't speak."

The next second, Yan Luo Wang's face became serious, and he said to himself worriedly: "It's a pity that you are so painstaking that you don't want him to get close to the holy object."

King Yama: "In the end, does he still want to take this step..."

.

Zhou Qizun fainted for a day.When he opened his eyes, it was already midnight the next day.

Zhou Qizun blinked his eyelids slowly in the dark, put his mind on the bed for a while, and finally regained some sense of reality.

The eyes have already adapted to the dimness, the curtains are not drawn properly, and a narrow gap is exposed, and the cool white moonlight is drawn in through the gap, dipping into a few points of light.

Zhou Qizun recognized him, he was in the hotel - "Don't build a pavilion".He is in his room, lying on his bed.

Zhou Qizun looked around, there was no one in the room except himself.

Because the lips are too dry, the upper and lower lips are stuck together, and the flesh is pulled when opening the mouth, and the mouth hurts a bit.

"Zhang Jueming." Zhou Qizun called out.He himself did not expect that he wanted to find Zhang Jueming as soon as he woke up.

Tsk, my throat is also cracked.The movement and the movement are so persistent, at least eight twist forks can be made out of it.

Zhou Qizun frowned, and felt that his whole body was limp, as if he had just narrowly escaped death after suffering from a serious illness.

But it was almost the same, he did escape from death once.

Zhou Qizun exhausted his strength for a long time, and finally sat up from the bed.He leaned back against the head of the bed and raised his head.Only half of my body got up, so I didn't get tired and lay down again.

The mobile phone is on the bedside table. It is more reasonable to touch the mobile phone and make a call to Zhang Jueming.

But Zhou Qizun didn't know what kind of bewilderment he committed, maybe he couldn't deal with it, anyway, he took a breath, walked towards the door, opened the duck's throat, and shouted again louder: "Zhang Jueming."

After shouting, apart from frowning, his face also wrinkled.Look at this unhappy look, as if Zhang Jueming owed him a few pennies. Some people thought that Zhang Jueming was who he was, and he had to show up as soon as he called, and he was always there when he was called.

"What about people..." Zhou Qizun murmured.

"Come here!" There was finally movement outside the door.

With a beep, the door lock was unlocked, but the person who came in was not Zhang Jueming.The light in the corridor filtered in, and Zhou Qizun saw that it was a little girl with symmetrical shofar braids.

Zhou Qizun didn't know her, this girl was very tender, she couldn't survive her fourteenth or fifteenth year.But...Zhou Qizun had to be on his guard - he looked human, who knew if it was a demon or a ghost?

"Who are you?" Zhou Qizun asked with a grin.

"Why is your voice so hoarse!" The little girl guessed that she was quite familiar, and without asking Zhou Qizun, she raised her hand and pressed the switch on the wall.

The light above his head suddenly turned on brightly, causing Zhou Qizun to squint his eyes.

"I'll pour you a glass of water." The little girl trotted to the table to pour water. Fortunately, she was still sensible, and explained to Zhou Qizun while pouring water.

"My name is Guo Xiaotong, you can call me Xiaotong."

Xiaotong: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

She walked to the bed with a water glass, and handed the glass to Zhou Qizun: "Master Shan Gui asked me to guard you outside the door."

Zhou Qizun took a look at Xiaotong, she had a cute little round face, big and clear eyes, she looked harmless to humans and animals.

Zhou Qizun took the water glass, the water temperature was just right, he shook the glass: "Zhang Jueming also gave you my room card?"

"Well, the adults took it from you." Xiaotong confessed honestly, "He asked me to guard the door and come in to take care of you when you wake up."

"Guo Xiaotong." Zhou Qizun held his water glass and sipped slightly, "Your surname is Guo, who are you and Guo Qingxuan?"

"She is my older sister." Xiaotong smiled, "Xiaotong is my name given to me by Sister Xuan."

"Your sister." Zhou Qizun nodded, "So you are also a dragon?"

"No." Xiaotong blinked her big bright eyes, "I'm a little white rabbit. Sister Xuan picked it up."

Zhou Qizun: "..."

Gu Xiaotong's well-behaved appearance really looks like a rabbit.

Zhou Qizun was not curious why Yilong chose a rabbit as his younger sister, he was more concerned about the situation of Zhang Jueming and Guo Qingxuan than this: "Where is Zhang Jueming?"

Zhou Qizun: "And you sister Xuan, how is she? Is she okay?"

"Master Shangui has gone to Yan Luo Hall." Xiaotong said, she lowered her head and mentioned Guo Qingxuan, and suddenly lost energy, "Sister Xuan...maybe not well. She has been shutting herself in the room, He won't open the door, and won't let me in."

Yan Luodian?This name does not sound like a world, it must be underground.

"Guo Qingxuan also opened a room in this hotel?" Zhou Qizun asked.

"Yeah." Xiaotong pouted, "Master Shangui told her not to go back to the Dragon Clan first."

"Take care of her." Zhou Qizun smiled, "I don't have to worry about it, you go to your sister Xuan's door and guard."

Xiaotong raised her head, looked at Zhou Qizun for a while, then said "um", turned around and was about to go out.

This little bastard... No, this little girl must have been a little confused in the film, and turned around before the door and came back.

She took out a small white porcelain bottle from her pocket, opened the bottle, and wanted to pour something into Zhou Qizun's glass of water.

"Wait, what is this?" As soon as the bottle cap was opened, Zhou Qizun smelled a familiar fragrance—the smell of Zhang Jueming.

Xiaotong: "Master Shangui gave it to me, he said..."

"He said he wanted me to drink his blood?" Zhou Qizun immediately understood.He put the cup back on the bedside table heavily, and his throat became even more choked when he got angry.

Xiaotong quickly explained: "This is the blood essence of the mountain ghost, very precious!"

From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Zhou Qizun was ignorant: "The mountain ghost is the lord of evil spirits, the spirits of our cultivation..."

"I'm human." Zhou Qizun said with a straight face, "I'm not a spirit, nor a vampire."

"..." Xiaotong slobbered, "People have to drink more, you are covered with evil spirits, after drinking..."

"Don't drink." Zhou Qizun spoke in a stiff hoarse voice, "Zhang Jueming, that bastard, really needs to be dealt with."

Xiaotong: "..."

"Hmm..." Zhou Qizun paused.

Xiaotong came in in a hurry and did not close the door, Zhou Qizun raised his eyes and happened to see Zhang Jueming standing at the door.He came by a coincidence, bumped into Zhou Qizun head-on and scolded him.

"Er... my lord?" Xiaotong held up the white porcelain bottle and turned to look at Zhang Jueming, "He won't drink."

"Go and accompany Guo Qingxuan, I'm here." Zhang Jueming said.

Xiaotong put the cap on the bottle, she hesitated for a while, not daring to put the bottle of mountain ghost blood in her pocket, and took another look at Zhang Jueming.

"Take it away." Zhang Jueming said.

Xiaotong's eyes lit up, she quickly put the blood bottle back into her pocket, and then ran out in small steps.

Zhang Jueming turned around and closed the door, then turned to look at Zhou Qizun...Zhou Qizun was staring straight at him, with a...unfriendly expression.

Facing Zhou Qizun's gaze, Zhang Jueming subconsciously opened his mouth: "My blood is... no, the blood of the mountain ghost is..."

"I know. The treasure that wards off evil spirits and removes poison is stronger than Tang Monk's meat." Zhou Qizun said.

Zhang Jueming: "..."

Zhang Jueming stood there for a while, just about to walk over: "How do you feel..."

"Jade Ming, come here." Zhou Qizun suddenly interrupted Zhang Jueming.

"Come here and let me see if your injuries are all healed." Zhou Qizun stared at Zhang Jueming without blinking, "Qongqi swallowed you in one gulp, almost scaring me to death."

When I woke up, I wanted to find Zhang Jueming, and when I opened my mouth, I wanted to scold Zhang Jueming.Now that Zhang Jueming was in front of him, Zhou Qizun realized that his fear of Zhang Jueming had finally calmed down.
