[Town Soul] Zhao Yunlan Small Theater

Chapter 29 Scene 5

Many times, Guo Changcheng felt that his IQ could not keep up with the new era of the Special Investigation Department. For example, today, he has always been in a very confused state.He felt that the people around were a little weird, especially Brother Chu, Zhao Chu actually said that he had been beaten with a whip, what's going on?And why did the errands come to see Brother Chu?After finishing the meeting in a trance, Guo Changcheng returned to the office and stayed for a while, suddenly worried about Brother Chu, so he inquired about it and found him in the duty room.

The duty room in the office is located at the end of the corridor on the first floor, in a remote location. Zhao Yunlan said that this is to allow the on-duty personnel to sleep peacefully—as if they come on duty at night to sleep.It is probably also to let the subordinates sleep peacefully without being disturbed, and the interior layout is also very simple: when you open the door, you can see a single bed, and a phone is placed on the bedside table.In addition, there is only a vertical hanger for hanging clothes and a small stool in the narrow room.Guo Changcheng closed the door, carefully hung his satchel on the hanger, and glanced at Chu Shuzhi who was sitting on the edge of the bed: "What's wrong, Brother Chu?"

Going to the duty room in broad daylight was not for sleeping, Guo Changcheng felt that there was something really wrong with Brother Chu.

Chu Shuzhi shook his head, staring at the door silently, he seemed to be waiting for something, and seemed to be sullen and angry.So Guo Changcheng didn't dare to speak again, but leaned his back against the wall and tried his best to shrink himself into a quiet gecko.

After a while, there was a slight sound of clappers, and the door opened automatically with a creak. Guo Changcheng looked forward coolly, and saw a paper man wearing a tall hat carrying a huge package in his hand. walked in.He nodded to Chu Shuzhi, and put the package in his hand in front of him.Then folded his hands together and read a few words, two lines of faint gold characters appeared on Chu Shuzhi's face, and a circle of heavy locks hung on his wrists, ankles and even his neck. These things appeared on his body, and then quickly fell off, falling to On the ground, it was balled into a small ball and received into the hands of the paper figurine.

Guo Changcheng opened his mouth wide in surprise. The moment the shackles came down, he saw a relaxed expression on Brother Chu's face. This... Could it be that Brother Chu had been wearing this heavy shackles before?

The paper figurine turned around dumbly, and nodded towards Guo Changcheng, then walked towards the door and left in a wobble.

Only then did Guo Changcheng come back to his senses. He bowed again and again in return, and only after the door closed automatically again did he look back at Brother Chu.Brother Chu was staring at the opened package on the bed in a daze. There were many strange things made of bones in it, and there was a faint blue and cold light.

Chu Shuzhi stared at it for a long time, took a bone whistle and weighed it in his hand, then looked at Guo Changcheng: "Do you feel that something is wrong recently?"

Guo Changcheng nodded, he felt that the most strange thing was Brother Chu.

Of course Chu Shuzhi didn't think of himself that way, he looked out the window: "Thunderstorms and rainstorms in winter, crows migrate in groups, this is a chaos in the sky."

Guo Changcheng: "What chaos?"

Chu Shuzhi frowned: "I'm not sure, but did you hear what Zhao Yunlan said in the meeting today? To be honest, I'm a little worried about him."

Guo Changcheng was taken aback. In his mind, Zhao Chu had always been a supernatural and omnipotent existence, and now that Professor Shen, who is a black-robed envoy, was by his side, they couldn't solve the problem in this world. thing?He felt that Brother Chu's words were a bit serious: "Brother Chu, probably not."

Chu Shuzhi smiled, looked at Guo Changcheng with an expressionless look, stood up after a while, reached out and patted his head lightly.

Guo Changcheng was stunned.

Chu Shuzhi: "Xiao Guo, the person who came here just now is the punishment of the land boundary. I have made a big mistake. I have been guilty for 300 years. It was Zhao Chu who asked me to come to special mediation from the land boundary. Even so, all these years, he also I never begged Di Jie to commute my sentence, because he knew me as a person and would never accept other people's sympathy. But today he made his own decision, saying that it was forced by the situation. If I guessed correctly, it should be..."

He didn't finish his sentence, so he waved his hand: "Go out, Xiao Guo, I want to take a break."

Guo Changcheng refused: "Brother Chu, are you seriously injured? Do you want me to help you with medicine?"

Chu Shuzhi was stunned for a while, only to realize that he still remembered his whip wounds: "No, it's already healed. Thank you, Xiao Guo."

"Then..." Guo Changcheng didn't know what to say when he was full of words, so he simply dragged a small stool and sat in the corner: "Brother Chu, rest, I will sit here. Don't worry, I am very quiet, and I will never bother you."

Chu Shuzhi shook his head helplessly. He knew that the young man Xiao Guo looked soft-tempered, and he was completely stubborn when he was stubborn. He decided that he would never change what he was going to do.He still remembers the time when he pinched Cheng Li and got whipped by Zhao Yunlan. The young man followed him home and never went back no matter how angry he was. Then he huddled in the corner and watched like this until he fell asleep and got painted. Only then did the medicine leave with confidence.For some reason, thinking of what happened that night, Chu Shuzhi felt a pang in his heart. He didn't chase Xiao Guo away, but just sat back on the edge of the bed, silently tidying up the bone eggplant.

It was raining outside, and the torrential rain was getting heavier.

Daqing held a big red umbrella and chased Zhu Hong who had turned on the runaway mode. Fortunately, Zhu Hong was afraid of thunder and would go to a small shop on the side of the road to avoid lightning from time to time, so that Daqing was able to catch up at the intersection of Antique Street. He hugged Zhu Hong and moved the umbrella over her head.

"No need!" Zhu Hong, who was already drenched, pushed Daqing away: "You don't need to monitor me for Zhao Yunlan, I just go back to my fourth uncle, so I won't run around like you! Tell him to drive me away , there is no need to be hypocritical!"

Daqing meowed, and moved the umbrella to the top of Zhu Hong's head: "This is the umbrella that Lao Zhao asked me to buy for you at that time. You really don't want it?"

Zhu Hong was stunned.

She still remembers that eight years ago, when she entered the Special Investigation Department, she encountered a thunderstorm when she went out to the police for the first time. She was terrified when she was squatting on the street. up.Afterwards, it was Zhao Chu who watched her not go back for a long time, came to the street and found her standing stupidly in the rain, and brought her back to the office.Although the suspect was let go, Zhao Yunlan did not blame her, and asked Daqing to buy her an umbrella, telling her that thunderstorms are very common in the world, this is not the kind of shocking lightning and thunder during the tribulation, there is no need to be afraid .That is, from that time on, Zhao Yunlan asked Zhu Hong to do the back office, and would not let her go out to handle cases unless necessary.

Zhu Hong looked up at the rainy sky, took the umbrella, and grabbed the metal umbrella handle with her bright red nails.

After walking in silence for a while, Zhu Hong took out a small box containing water dragon balls from her bag and handed it to Daqing: "This is what my fourth uncle asked me to give to Zhao Yunlan. I just forgot it in a hurry. You will go back and help me later." Give it to him."

Daqing put away the box, and accompanied her to the big locust tree: "Did you know? Old Zhao is Kunlun."

Zhu Hong turned her head: "Kunlun?" She is no stranger to this name. When she was a child, she attended several New Year banquets in Yaoshi with her fourth uncle. The object of thanks is Kunlun Jun.It's just that I was too young at that time, and I really forgot what the content of the thank-you speech was.

Daqing: "Yes. Thousands of years ago, after the Great Seal was broken, Lord Kunlun opened Penglai Mountain to protect the human and demon races. It will save your demon race from being wiped out."

Zhu Hong: "Isn't Zhao Yunlan our great benefactor?! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Daqing didn't want to tell her that he only heard Shen Wei's talk at the top of Kunlun Mountain, so he nodded inscrutablely, and stood beside Zhu Hong with his head held high.

Zhu Hong thought again: "Then does my fourth uncle know? If he doesn't know, should I tell him? But, but..." She suddenly remembered that fourth uncle knew Shen Wei's identity long ago but kept it secret , and spoke vaguely to Zhao Yunlan several times, and his attitude was very respectful. Could it be...he knew?

Daqing seemed to see her thoughts: "I don't know if Elder Snake knows, but did you hear what Lao Zhao said in the meeting today? He used to say anything directly, but today he seems to be hiding something. What are you looking at us, think about it, how many times have you scolded him before, has he ever chased you? Is there something wrong? "

Zhu Hong followed his thoughts and nodded.

"You may have guessed it too. In fact, I am the magic cat next to Kunlun." Daqing raised his neck with a sense of superiority: "Meow. Of course, I was still young when I followed Kunlun Lord, so I don't remember many things , but I vaguely remember that Kunlun picked the fruit of the Great Shenmu and fed it to me. Yes, the Great Shenmu is said to have produced three fruits in thousands of years, and one of them was given to me by Kunlun Lord. After I ate it, Kunlun sent it to me. When I went down the mountain, it was the same as now, with lightning and thunder, and he told me to practice hard and not be a lazy cat. After that, I never saw Mr. Kunlun again. Then I saw reincarnation His."

Zhu Hong doesn't care much about other things recently, but she is very sensitive to Zhao Yunlan's affairs: "You mean, Zhao Yunlan is dealing with the funeral?!"

Daqing scratched his neck: "I'm not sure. But I feel like Lao Zhao has encountered some difficulties, and he wants to be alone, meow cough cough, or carry it down alone with Shen Wei. I've always been a little uncomfortable recently. It's a comfortable feeling, so I'm thinking, maybe there are some things in the Three Realms...Elder Snake will understand a little bit."

Zhu Hong was stunned for a moment. Recently, she was in an irritable mood, and she hadn't been distracted to think about the things around her.Now that I think about it carefully, the disbandment of the demon city, the retreat of various races, and what my fourth uncle said to me on New Year's Eve... Could it be that there is really a catastrophe about to happen in the Three Realms?What about Zhao Yunlan? !Zhu Hong was about to go back immediately: "I'm going to ask Lao Zhao!"

Daqing stopped her: "Meow, it's not that you don't know his temper. If he wanted to say something, he would have told us a long time ago. I think we should ask your fourth uncle. I just want to take Lao Zhao's words. Tell Elder Snake."

Zhu Hong nodded fiercely, picked up the copper ring in front of the big locust tree and knocked three times: "Then let's go in quickly."

Shen Wei was in a trance all day today.

First, Zhao Yunlan took him to meet Zhao Xinci, then discussed with him to release Chu Shuzhi's meritorious shackles in advance, and then went to the special mediation office with him to arrange everyone.It wasn't until the evening when they returned to the residence together that Shen Wei realized that he was not in a dream.

Zhao Yunlan has always been by his side, and he never said to leave, nor did he intend to leave him.

He didn't even ask anything.After returning home, it was the same as before, slumped down on the sofa, turned on the TV, and waited to cook by myself.His expression was not half as anxious as before the Great Seal was about to be broken, but a kind of calm indifference.

Shen Wei knew that he had already made up his mind.

I have been looking forward to it for too long, worried for too long, struggled for too long, and waited for too long, but after getting it, I feel a little inexplicably at a loss.Standing in the kitchen, Shen Wei looked at the darkening sky outside the window, and suddenly couldn't believe that the warmth in this house really existed.

He has always been too inferior and too lonely.Therefore, when he was with Zhao Yunlan, he always tensed up to deal with everything, but now, at this moment, he finally wanted to relax completely.

The doorbell rang suddenly. Shen Wei washed his hands, dried them with a towel and walked out of the kitchen. At a glance, he saw Zhao Yunlan directing two people to move a double bed into the bedroom.

"Here, yes, place it inward, against the wall... No, I can't put it down, how about this, you first remove the bed inside and put it on the balcony... Yes, that's it, I said your bed The quality is reliable, if something goes wrong, it will be replaced!"

Shen Wei watched Zhao Yunlan point with his left finger, and stuffed the large double bed into the bedroom after a lot of work.

"Shen Wei," Zhao Yunlan stood at the door and sized up the room: "Come over and have a look, do you like this bed? Why do I feel that my room is still small, and there is no room for movement with this bed. No matter what, Can you see if you can arrange it like this first? This way I won’t squeeze you when I sleep at night. "

Shen Wei immediately looked at the two porters who had just walked out of the room, and sure enough, they were looking at himself and Yunlan with the eyes of a gay guy.

Zhao Yunlan obviously wanted to push through to the end: "I actually wanted to buy this bed a long time ago, but the room is not small. I originally thought that after the school district room came down, it would be a big room for the two of us, with a big bed. Looks good. But now it looks like I can’t wait, so I’d better buy it and use it first. Take a look, I’ve been looking forward to this bed for a long time, it’s soft, comfortable, and shock-resistant! It’s so damn good!... Oh, master, you guys It's ready, thank you, you've worked hard! It's raining outside, go back slowly. It's okay, I'll close the door, go slowly, you guys..."

Shen Wei retreated to the kitchen with a flushed face, leaving Zhao Yunlan to talk nonsense outside.

After a while, Zhao Yunlan walked into the kitchen, and said behind Shen Wei: "What's wrong? I thought the seal was about to break, and the time we spend together will be even more precious, so I can't let you sleep uncomfortably Is it right? But first of all, no matter what, don’t drink my blood, or I will really lose my face. "

As he spoke, he smiled and added: "After all, she is my daughter-in-law who lives and dies with me, and I don't want to abuse you."

Shen Wei finally heard a clear promise, he turned around abruptly, and looked deeply at Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan smiled again.

Shen Wei stretched out his hand to him, Zhao Yunlan nodded, and handed his left hand to his: "What's wrong?"

Shen Wei held his hand tightly, and after a momentary trance, they were already standing in a room.

There is no window in this room, Shen Wei waved his hand, and the bright fluorescent lights turned on automatically.

Zhao Yunlan looked around, there was no furniture in the room, and the white walls and floors were spotless.

Zhao Yunlan: "This is?"

This is the study room that Shen Wei's family has always locked.

Shen Wei raised his hand to caress in front of him again, and a painting slowly emerged on the wall directly opposite.

It was a huge ancient painting, almost occupying one wall, made of unknown material, as thin as a cicada's wing, with a smooth white surface, and a person was drawn on it.

The man had finely drawn eyebrows and vivid charm, long hair that dragged the floor, and a simple and simple blue gown.Tilting his head slightly, the corner of his mouth seemed to be smiling... It made Zhao Yunlan feel like he was almost looking in a mirror.

Next to the painting was written a line of small characters, not modern simplified or traditional, not even any font he was familiar with.But Zhao Yunlan didn't know why, and he understood what was written on it just by looking at it.

On it was written - "Deng Linzhiyin saw Lord Kunlun for the first time, and the first glimpse disturbed my heart. Weibi."

"This is the scene when we met in Deng Lin's Yin." Without Shen Wei explaining beside him, the scene at that time appeared in Zhao Yunlan's mind instantly.

At that time, he was going to Penglai, and he stopped in the shade of Deng Lin. When he turned his head, he saw a child sitting by the lake with his back to him. Lan remembered that his heart beat suddenly, and he walked over involuntarily.

At this moment, a secluded animal poked its head out from the lake, opened its big teeth and planned to bite the little beauty.Before Zhao Yunlan could yell out, the child casually pinched and broke the neck of the beast.Then he washed the black blood splashed on his hands with the lake water, and began to eat slowly.

It turned out that this was a little ghost king.Zhao Yunlan remembers laughing at that time, he didn't expect the ghost clan to have such a good-looking variety.

He opened his mouth to say hello, and the little ghost king almost fell into the lake in shock.

"Hi, my name is Kunlun. What's your name?"

Zhao Yunlan remembered that when the little ghost king turned his head to look at him, his eyes were full of hot light, and the tips of his ears were burning red.

"My name is Wei."

"Hey??"

"Well, Wei," the little ghost king said solemnly, "Mountain ghost."

"... Oh." Zhao Yunlan thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to express his opinion on this uncommon word: "Although this name is good, it is still a bit stingy. Why don't I change it." He is used to domineering, And he went on speaking on his own initiative——

"Look, mountains and seas are connected in this world, and the majestic mountains are endless. It's like carrying a heavy burden in life, and there will never be a day of rest. Otherwise, I will add a few strokes to you and call it 'Wei'. How about it?"

Shen Wei looked deeply at Zhao Yunlan, seeing the last sentence he said involuntarily in deep thought, his heart beat violently.It turned out that after such a long time, he finally remembered, he remembered, he remembered how my name came from.He held Zhao Yunlan tightly, as if he wanted to embed him in his body.

Zhao Yunlan was brought back to reality by the pain in his hands, he looked at Shen Wei who was staring at him, but did not let him let go, but continued to look at the walls on both sides.

That's all him.

He has been reincarnated from generation to generation.

Ancient, modern, modern, contemporary him.

Smiling, laughing, serious, angry, cynical.

……

It turned out that he cherished every life of his own.

Hidden in these portraits and scenes.

Zhao Yunlan was shocked all over, and turned to look at Shen Wei.

Shen Wei still stared at him: "Back then, I sent you into reincarnation against your will, and signed a golden contract with Shennong. But I really couldn't see you, so I begged Shennong to let you be the soul of the world. Commander, as the black-robed envoy, at least...at least when dealing with ghosts, I can have a chance to meet you."

Shen Wei's hands trembled slightly, it was his only chance to see Kunlun, and it was also his only consolation in the dark and lightless place.Who would know how much perseverance he would need every time he went to the world to meet the Lord of Souls, in order to suppress his staring eyes and talk about business in a calm manner under the cold mask.How much courage is needed to force myself not to look back when leaving with ghosts, and to look at the familiar face from ten thousand years ago.

Perhaps, only by returning to the dark realm, can he pierce his fingers and draw a picture mixed with black blood, and then he can stare deeply at the person on the picture unscrupulously.

This look, a glance of ten thousand years.

At this moment, life and death are in harmony.

Shen Wei smiled in a trance, and found that Zhao Yunlan was also staring at him: "Shen Nong promised you? What conditions did he offer?"

Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from him.

Shen Wei drooped his eyelashes: "It's not harsh. Let his medicine bowl be supervised. If you abuse the authority of the Requiem Lord, I will personally punish you. If I break the ground rules for you, I will temporarily lose all my divine power. Reduced to a ghost clan that can only devour."

Zhao Yunlan's heart twitched: "Then you let the ghost attach to the old lady for me, wouldn't it be..."

Shen Wei: "That's only temporary. Shennong probably wanted to remind me to let me know my identity. No matter...no matter what you made me into back then, it was all a false name. My essence is a ghost race." .After all, he wanted me to return to Dafeng back then, and it was you who cramped up to protect me. I think it was because of this that he gave me the Soul Punishment Whip.”

He didn't want to tell Zhao Yunlan how when he lost all his powers, he locked himself in this study, lying on the ground looking at these portraits, restraining his strong instinctive desire to devour everything.

Zhao Yunlan sighed again: "This Shennong is really weak. So you beat me because of the contract?"

Shen Wei thought for a while, then shook his head: "Not all. You are unscrupulous, sometimes you really deserve to be hit."

Zhao Yunlan felt that he shouldn't ask.

He quickly coughed and changed the subject: "By the way, apart from Deng Linzhiyin, I just remembered that I went to Penglai Mountain. It seems that we met on Penglai Mountain?"

Shen Wei's eyes dimmed, and it was only after a while that he reluctantly replied: "You promised Chi You to protect the witches and demons, but after the Great Seal was broken, Penglai Mountain could only accommodate the two tribes. Everyone thought you would abandon the human race. And to protect the Lich. I didn’t expect you to set up an enchantment on the mountainside and put the head of Chi You to test the three tribes. Both the human and the demon clans kowtowed and bowed to show their respect, but the Wu Clan turned a blind eye to the Chi You head who had once protected them. I was walking up the mountain, so I was washed away by the flood you set up. You were in a bad mood because you wiped out the Wu clan, so you saw me who was looking for you on the mountainside, and said a few words to me. Said ungrateful Those who cannot stay."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, exterminating the race he had protected, even if the other party was ungrateful, how could he completely let go of it from the bottom of his heart.Presumably when talking to Shen Wei at that time, his own tone was not much better.His voice slowed down: "Don't worry. I will never regret the choices I have made."

Shen Wei knew what he was referring to.He stared at Zhao Yunlan for a while, and suddenly pulled him into his arms.

Zhao Yunlan stroked his back along the way: "Let's go home."

Shen Wei: "OK."
