Buried fire

Lu Huanyi's tangled expression lasted until the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, when the brothers and sisters gathered together to drink each other with more enthusiasm than yesterday, he eased up a little.

"It's been another year." Master sat at the top of the banquet, looking at everyone with a smile on his face. "Come on, let's talk about what we have gained this year."

There was an immediate chaos at the banquet, some people were seriously talking about how their skills had improved or what they had done when they went down the mountain, some were just talking nonsense to create the atmosphere, and many more completely ignored the master, already in the Drink on the other side.

The loud voice of the second senior uncle and the third senior uncle rarely quarreled. The two sat on each side, their expressions seemed a bit dignified. The third senior uncle turned his head to look at the master's face from time to time. Lu Huanyi was able to fall in love with his master for the third uncle.

"How about Sui Sui?" Master suddenly asked, "Have you learned something this year? Tell us to make everyone happy."

Lu Huanyi didn't expect that it would be time to catch a lucky audience and execute him in public so soon. He didn't prepare his lines at all in his heart, so he was stunned for a moment, and the whole front hall fell silent following his bewilderment.

"Just... I don't have much insight," Lu Huanyi said, "This year's mood has gone up and down, neither good nor bad."

There are many bad things.

The pain of being caught and pierced by the black-robed Taoist priest still makes him shiver with fear when he recalls it, and when he was driven down the mountain by the master, when he just picked up Yin Zhu... many times, it made him feel irritable .

But there are also many good things.

"Anyway, it's not going well, but I'm always happy," Lu Huanyi smiled, "I hope I can be happy next year too."

Master also smiled.

It was as if he hadn't said these words, but Lu Huanyi said what was in his heart.

Hope to be happy next year too.

I hope that the remaining two years will also be happy.

Finally died happily.

"What about me?" Yin Zhu suddenly spoke from the side, interrupting Lu Huanyi's thoughts of actively running away. He sat next to Lu Huanyi and gently bumped him with his knee, "Am I good or bad?"

Lu Huanyi turned his head to look at him, thought for a while, and the smile on the corner of his mouth didn't fade away. He obviously didn't drink a drop of wine after taking his seat, but the intoxicating gentleness in his smile was so obvious, "What do you think?"

"Fine," Yin Zhu said after finishing this sentence, and nodded, "I'm fine."

Lu Huanyi didn't refute either, he leaned a little closer to Yin Zhu, "I've never seen someone as good as you in my life... Monster, you are very good, very, very good."

Yin Zhu turned his head and looked at him without speaking.

But the knees and thighs of the two people under the table are already stuck together tightly, as if there is something natural that attracts them to each other, and once they get close, they can no longer be separated.

This year is still noisy, but Lu Huanyi feels very peaceful in his heart, which is a different kind of peace that he never had in the previous 18 years.

In the past, I would feel at ease in Shimen, but it is different from the mood at this moment.

He yawned and pulled out his phone to check the time.

That is to say, after taking out the phone to check the time, an inexplicable fragrance came over, Lu Huanyi was stunned for a moment, and raised his head, and Yin Zhu, who was beside him, was also stunned.

"It's that person." Yin Zhu left this sentence and rushed out immediately.

There was a sound of fighting outside, and everyone was stunned for a moment. After rushing out, they saw a red light and Yin Zhu fighting inextricably in the sky. The red light seemed to carry sharp weapons everywhere, piercing Yin Zhu's flesh every time .

Yin Zhu's skin is very thick, presumably because of his hard scales, he doesn't feel anything at all when he is being hacked or pulled, and he will look at you impatiently as if he was being tickled.

But after being approached by the red light at this time, several blood marks were scraped on the skin. Yin Zhu let out an annoyed cry, and his lower body turned into a snake tail—it was no longer the tail like before. Lu Huanyi saw the tip of his tail sticking out A fire was ignited, and there seemed to be flames dancing on the scales.

The evil spirit in his body is being awakened, even if the seal of the gods on the demon-locking tower will be loosened, and the spell cast on Yin Zhu by an unknown person will not weaken one day, until the spell disappears completely, Yin Zhu to become what he really is.

Lu Huanyi looked at the flame on Yin Zhu's tail in a little surprise, but soon his attention was attracted by the fight.

A senior brother approached the master's ear and said softly: "Master, this person seems to be the same person who took Xiao Huaiyue last time."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Master raised an eyebrow, "I wanted to ask just now, what are you all watching here? Go up and help!"

As soon as the words fell, the senior brothers and sisters who had practiced the flying skills of imperial swordsmanship rushed into the air immediately.

Lu Huanyi couldn't fly, so he could only worry underneath.

"How did this person get in?" Lu Huanyi frowned and asked the master, "Isn't there a spell guarding the gate of the master..."

"Maybe they got in during the New Year's banquet yesterday." The master pinched a handful of melon seeds from somewhere, and ate them together with Lu Puhuai. "We don't have any treasures to steal here, so we don't need to be so serious about guarding against them."

The world of monasticism has been peaceful for a long time. It is only natural for everyone to lower their vigilance.

But Lu Huanyi always felt that there was something wrong with what Master said, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Before he had time to think deeply, Yin Zhu in the sky suddenly let out a cry that he had never heard before. It didn't seem like it burst out from his throat, but more like a strange cry coming out of his body after burning blood.

Looking up, the red light became even more dazzling, piercing the skin on Yin Zhu's tail, and a beam of light slashed towards him, almost cutting off the scales on his tail.

Lu Huanyi gritted his teeth, but he didn't have the habit of carrying amulets in his pocket after returning to the teacher's gate. He didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he couldn't help if he wanted to.

He simply bit his own finger quietly - he would be scolded again when the master saw him cast spells with blood - and threw two drops of blood towards the red light, which melted into it silently, followed by a few muffled bangs , The red light actually bleeds.

The master was taken aback, and immediately looked at Lu Huanyi. Naturally, Lu Huanyi did not dare to look at the master, and anxiously looked at Yin Zhu who was slowly falling from the sky.

The surrounding brothers and sisters immediately suppressed the red light. The four wings behind Yin Zhu were faintly visible, and because of the pain, he kept flicking his tail. The split flesh on the tip of the tail was bleeding out, and the scales really fell off. One piece down.

When the red light saw the scales, it seemed to go crazy. The five senior brothers couldn't suppress it, and flew straight towards the scales. The master turned around and flew in front of the scales. Just throwing it away, the rest of the brothers and sisters also rushed up.

Lu Huanyi quickly rushed to Yin Zhu's side, and supported him, "...be patient, I'll let third uncle come over."

"Okay." Yin Zhu gritted his teeth and nodded. In such a cold day, his forehead was covered with sweat and his lips were pale, but he didn't say anything more.

The third uncle pushed away the people around him, took out a few bottles of medicine from his sleeve, saw his tail, he was taken aback for a moment, "Why are the scales falling off..." Sprinkled the medicine powder on it, and muttered brokenly , "It won't grow well with just the medicine. The scales of the snake are very precious. It won't grow well in a hundred years."

Lu Huanyi stretched out his hand to cover Yin Zhu's ears, and was stunned for a while, but after realizing that Yin Zhu had heard this sentence, he pursed his lips and stopped making a sound.

After the third uncle helped to treat the wound, Yin Zhu no longer felt so badly in pain, but he was still panting heavily, as if he hadn't slowed down.

"Would you like me to fight next time?" Lu Huanyi reached out and touched his head, "You are a baby monster that everyone wants to catch and study, and the tribe still has a strong call for you, can you not be so desperate? ?”

"What about you?" Yin Zhu pointed weakly at Lu Huanyi, "You are born with a dark energy, and you are a great tonic among demons and ghosts."

"Okay, two big babies, look over there." Lu Puhuai pointed to the red light that had been suppressed back to its original shape - it was just a girl in red clothes. The girl's clothes looked very familiar, and Lu Huanyi was stunned. After a while, I realized that it was the person next to the black-robed Taoist priest who captured him earlier.

"Master," Lu Huanyi immediately called out, "The last time I was injured, it was she and another Taoist who caught me!"

"That's her?" Master frowned.

"It's her!" Lu Huanyi yelled, "She stabbed me with a dagger! She pierced my hands and feet!"

The master frowned even deeper, "Put her in the dungeon, no matter what the reason is, let's use the punishment first."

"Yes." The two apprentices who took the order bent down, drew charms on the girl's hands and between her eyebrows, and then led her to the direction of the dungeon.

Lu Huanyi stared over there twice before turning his gaze away, looking at Yin Zhu, "Do you want to come in and rest for a while?"

"Yes." Yin Zhu responded, and slowly changed back to the appearance of a little snake.

His appearance as a little snake has also changed a little, the demon pattern on the forehead is more obvious, and the color is more vivid.

Lu Huanyi picked up Yin Zhu into his pocket, packed his clothes again, and raised his head. Lu Zhenshu was standing aside, frowning at them.

"You two..." Lu Zhenshu hesitated to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Huanyi before he finished speaking.

"The two of us," Lu Huanyi looked at him, "it's just what you think, don't ask, we are a match made in heaven."

Lu Zhenshu stretched out his hand and rubbed Lu Huanyi's head, "Just think it over carefully."

Lu Huanyi smiled, "I can't think more clearly."

There was an episode, and the New Year’s Eve dinner had to be eaten. Many people said that they hadn’t enjoyed the fight. Master said, why don’t you go outside to fight again. When there were many people, they rushed out. There was a gang fight.

Something crawled into the dungeon along the corner of the wall.

There is no one to hold hands in the dungeon. Once locked in, the limbs and tendons are sealed, and they suffer all kinds of suffering every day. They can only go out after seven or seven days.

Therefore, that thing did not penetrate into the dungeon, but turned into a human form at the door.

At the end of winter, the light at night was still weak, and one could only faintly see the figure of an adult man.

"You haven't given up yet," he said. "It's been almost 3000 years, why don't you give up? The scales of the snake are used as medicine... How can you save him?"

After a long time, a faint female voice came from inside, "Then... have you given up again? If you don't try, how will you know if you can save it?"

"Give up," the man leaned against the door of the dungeon, and drew a circle on the snow with his fingers, his fingertips immediately turned red from the ice and snow, "Give up early in the morning."

The girl in the dungeon was extremely weak, and she had to pause for a long time every time she said a word, "Yes... it's because you are using your emotions, it's just not deep enough."

The man stopped answering. He stuck his fingers into the snow, took a deep breath, and trembled when he let it out again.
