Demons are easy to get rid of, but it is difficult for juniors and teachers to guard against

Chapter 36

Outside the window is white snow and red plum blossoms, the world is quiet, and a wisp of green smoke is blurred inside the house, curling up from the engraved bronze incense burner.

This house looks like it has been around for a long time. If you are an old craftsman who knows how to build, you will not be difficult to find that some of the layouts of the hanging beams and corners in the house are all ingenuity invented a hundred years ago.The house is old. When I first entered, I thought it was a hut, but it turned out to be a courtyard. However, there are not many rooms. There is no guest room in the lobby, master bedroom, study room, kitchen and firewood room.

It seems that when the owner built this house, he didn't think about inviting anyone or welcoming guests. He was indifferent and isolated from the world, which was in line with the owner's temperament.

Yan Jing took a sip of the water in the cup, with an elegant posture, and every little movement he made was meticulous and calm, but it didn't make people feel impatient at all.

Xie Dou sat on the table next to the stage, with his right knee bent, stepping on the table, looking reckless, squinting his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "This smells like... Hantan incense, tsk, this wine You've got a lot of stamina. You're still the same, drinking like hell."

Lin Zhen watched Yan Jing drink the wine as if it were water, and was a little surprised, but Yan Jing took it for granted, and didn't respond to Xie Dou, but said to Lin Zhen: "So you left Xiao's mansion like this?"

Qin Yun and Chu Bi were taken down by Qing Xu to the town to buy thick clothes, Lu Xixun and Lin Zixi were looking at the flowers outside the door, and Lin Zhen just told the ins and outs of the matter in the room, Yan Jing sometimes Looking at him, thinking, sometimes lowering his head to take a sip of wine, sometimes looking at the scenery outside the window, in short, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Lin Zhen nodded and said, "Yes."

"You and I only met once, and I have friendship with Xiao Ling, how do you know that I will help you instead of sending you back to Xiao Ling?"

Lin Zhen said: "There is a difference between friendship and acquaintance."

Hearing this, Yan Jing squinted at Xie Dou.

Xie Dou smiled and said: "Master Ye Yu has added a lot of good wine to your wine cellar, you can't turn your face and deny people."

"The world is vast, and my confidant is Ye Yu alone." Yan Jing suddenly sighed with emotion, his eyes were full, he looked at Lin Zhen, as if he was looking at him, and it seemed to be looking at Ye Yu, "You are the flesh and blood of Ye Yu." , I will naturally help with all my strength. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Xiao Canghu, who was playing outside, ran in from the door in panic, jumped into Yan Jing's arms, and said, "Xiao Ling and Li Yuan are here!"

Yan Jing took a deep look at Lin Zhen, "It's just...you have to make this matter clear to Xiao Ling, he is the one who is most willing to help you the most."

Lin Zixi knew that he was not capable enough to help Lin Zhen, so instead of staying in the room to listen to them like Xie Dou, he closed the door silently, sat on the steps, and stared at the plum blossoms on the branches.

Suddenly, a red plum blossom appeared in front of him. He suddenly regained his senses, looked up, and realized that it was Lu Xixun who broke off a plum blossom and handed it to him.

"Don't be so listless. If Lin Zhen sees you like this, she will definitely worry again." Unlike Lin Zixi's worries, Lu Xixun is very open-minded. She has experienced the worst things before. As far as she is concerned, as long as she can live well, there is nothing to worry about.

Lin Zixi took the flowers and smiled: "Sister Lu, if you fold the flowers without authorization, the master will be unhappy if she finds out."

Lu Xixun waved his hand: "God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know. If you don't tell me, I won't tell. Has anyone seen me picking flowers?"

Bai Qiong, who was entertaining himself, suddenly fell silent, staring at the two with watery eyes.

Lin Zixi: "..."

Lu Xixun: "..."

Bai Qiong grinned, very slyly: "These red plum trees are all taken care of by the master, and the master loves them very much."

Lu Xixun nodded: "Zixi, wait here, I'll destroy the corpse first."

As she spoke, she rolled her sleeves and walked towards Bai Qiong. Of course, Bai Qiong would not sit still, so he quickly ran away.

Lin Zixi was also amused when he saw you chasing me for a long time, one person and one fox, and he felt much happier.

He glanced casually into the distance, and saw two figures walking towards here in the distance.He thought it was Qin Yun and Chu Bi who had returned, so he stood up and walked to the edge of the plum blossom forest, ready to welcome them.

However, seeing the two getting closer, the smile on Lin Zixi's face disappeared completely, and his expression was a little cold, with vigilance, uneasiness, disgust... and even... fear in his expression.

He couldn't take another step forward, and he held the thin plum tree trunk next to him tightly with his right hand. The uneven surface of the bark made his palm ache a bit.

Gathering up his courage, he finally said in a cold voice, "Why are you here?"

When Xiao Ling saw Lin Zixi's face, he couldn't help being taken aback, his eyes couldn't hide his astonishment: "Lin Zixi?"

Because the journey was too impatient and hasty, Xiao Ling would not have time to prepare warm clothes in the future, but he was still wearing a light blue robe, the hem of which had been soaked in snow and water. He came here in a hurry, his face was haggard and tired, However, a pair of peach blossom eyes are still clear and cold.

The man behind him was wearing an oversized black cloak, and the hat almost covered half of his face, revealing only his slender and pale chin.He listened to the conversation between the two, but stopped and didn't intervene.

Lin Zixi laughed mockingly: "What? Didn't you expect me to appear again? Xiao Ling, let me tell you, don't think that I can forgive you if you say a few nice words in front of my tombstone. This old debt will never be destroyed , I will never let you go!"

Xiao Ling's eyes darkened, and his expression was stern: "I don't have time to chat with you right now."

As he said that, he walked around him without even looking at Lin Zixi. Seeing that Xiao Ling didn't pay him any attention, Lin Zixi turned pale, stopped in front of Xiao Ling again, and said viciously: "Here You are not welcome, get out of here."

Xiao Ling pinched Lin Zixi's shoulder with one hand, this pinching caused Lin Zixi, who had become a ghost, to wrinkle his whole face in pain.

"Only you, dare to call me out?" Xiao Ling's tone was full of ruthlessness.

Xu Shi heard the sound, Lu Xixun and Bai Qiong also came out to check the situation, they were quite surprised when they saw the scene in front of them, Bai Qiong was clever, turned around and ran into the room to report the news, Lu Xi found Lin Zixi in the house Xiao Ling couldn't move his hands, so he hurriedly came out to persuade him: "Xiao Ling, Lin Zixi is also your junior brother after all, so you treat him like this?"

Seeing Lu Xixun, Xiao Ling's face became more serious. He sneered: "So you are also involved in this matter. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have kept you. It would be another disaster!"

Lin Zixi was originally weak, but thanks to the magic power given to him by Lin Zhendu, he was able to maintain his body and act alone. Xiao Ling cast a spiritual spell under his hands, and it didn't take long for him to feel difficult to breathe and physically uncomfortable.

Xiao Ling threw Lin Zixi forward like a piece of rag. Lu Xi saw this, and it was too late to rush to catch Lin Zixi.

At this moment, Lin Zhen came out from the door, just in time to catch Lin Zixi.

"Brother!" Xiao Ling was overjoyed when he saw Lin Zhen, and walked forward while calling.

But Lin Zhen ignored Xiao Ling, but squatted down with Lin Zixi in his arms, spending a lot of energy for Lin Zixi.

"Senior brother..." Lin Zixi looked at Lin Zhen, his eyes became hot.

Lin Zhen comforted her softly: "It's okay, you can go into the room with Miss Lu later, and I will talk to Xiao Ling alone."

Seeing that Lin Zhen didn't pay attention to him at all, but hugging Lin Zixi instead, speaking softly and looking concerned, Xiao Ling suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and a burst of sadness spread in his heart. He was jealous that Lin Zixi could get the considerate care of his senior brother, he He was also panicked because of his senior brother's kindness to Lin Zixi.

Although Lin Zixi died, he did not reincarnate. Instead, he became a ghost and followed Lin Zhen.

When he was not by his senior brother's side, when his senior brother was in pain, Lin Zixi was by his senior brother's side.

That's Lin Zixi whom my senior has always loved so much...

That was Lin Zixi who had caused him to be estranged from his senior brother for four years!

A wave of fear overwhelmed Xiao Ling. He stared blankly at Lin Zhen carefully handing Lin Zixi over to Lu Xixun, and then Lin Zhen watched Lu Xixun help Lin Zixi into the house before turning his head and talking with Xiao Ling. The four eyes are facing each other.

Li Yuan behind him had already left without anyone noticing, and he probably went into the house to look for Yan Jing, and there was only him and Lin Zhen in the snowy plum blossom.

Xiao Ling stared at Lin Zhen intently, unable to say a thousand words. He was shocked by the scene just now, and only felt the pain in his chest lingering for a long time.He saw that Lin Zhen's eyebrows and eyes were the same as before, handsome and handsome, the imprints under the corners of his eyes were no longer obtrusive, and he completely disappeared from the crazy and irritable appearance when he was in the Xiao Mansion. , exuding arrogance all over his body, even a little oppressive.

While he was not around, the senior brother had already changed.

Xiao Ling stared at Lin Zhen's appearance, feeling very nostalgic and sentimental.

Lin Zhen was also looking at Xiao Ling, and the hatred in his heart had long since faded away. Seeing Xiao Ling's light blue eyes and blood-stained lips, he felt guilty and distressed, but he still couldn't let go. is disappointed.

It's been a few days, but it seems like a few years, people and things have changed, and I can't feel emotional.

"Xiao Ling, you really let me down." In the end, Lin Zhen was the first to speak, "The grass and trees are not heartless, but I didn't expect you to have no brotherhood!"

Xiao Ling knew that Lin Zhen was talking about Lin Zixi just now, so he couldn't defend himself, he could only ask hoarsely, "Senior brother, are you going to break with me again because of Lin Zixi?"

Seeing that Xiao Ling showed no remorse, Lin Zhen felt cold and said, "You are sinister and narrow-minded. Even if it wasn't for Zixi, it would be difficult for me to continue to get along with someone like you day and night."

Hearing Lin Zhen's evaluation of himself, Xiao Ling smiled sadly, and murmured: "Sinister and vicious...narrow-minded..." He raised his head and laughed, heartbroken, "Brother, so I, Xiao Ling, are like this in your eyes people?"

"You forced Lin Zixi to death, dealt with Qin Yun, and made things difficult for Miss Lu everywhere. Could it be that you have been wronged? I used to let things go because I..." Lin Zhen paused, "Because I like you, I I know that you do these things because you like me, so the biggest responsibility for these things still lies with me."

Xiao Ling never expected that Lin Zhen would confess his confession so calmly, and was taken aback.

Hearing this, I was a little excited at first, but soon I was poured cold water - Lin Zhen liked him, so let it go, and now he is starting to pursue it again. Does it mean that the senior brother doesn't like him anymore?

Is it because you hate yourself for deceiving him?

Xiao Ling stretched out his hand to hold Lin Zhen's hand, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother, listen to my explanation! I didn't mean to hide it from you, just listen to me and tell you slowly, okay?"

Lin Zhen didn't move his hand away, but just stared at Xiao Ling and said, "Then I ask you the question now, you should answer me properly, without any falsehood!"

"Okay!" Hope was rekindled in Xiao Ling's eyes, things have come to this point, and he can't care about anything else.

"In the 15th year of Nanling, was it you who set fire to Ye Yu in Longdu?"

"...Yes." Xiao Ling paused, "I used to be Canglong, the head of the four spirits in the heavens. I was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven...to be precise, ordered by Tianshu to set fire to the whole city. And... you die, cut the weeds and root them out."

Although Lin Zhen knew that Xiao Ling didn't recognize him at all back then, when he heard that Xiao Ling originally planned to burn himself to death, he still felt chills in his heart, and he continued to ask: "When did you know that I was from Duli? Xie Dou said that Suzaku When I came down to the mansion to look for you, it happened to be not long before Grand Master's [-]th birthday banquet."

"I went to Ye City once, and Li Yuan gave me the memory of my past life. Only then did I realize that my senior brother and Ye Yu looked very similar. After seeing the portrait, I was more sure, but I just thought it was a coincidence. Later, Suzaku came to me, Suzaku and Ye Yu I used to have a good friendship, he always hoped that I could return to the heaven, so he secretly investigated the whereabouts of the senior brother and told me the situation, and asked me to take the blame and meritorious deeds, I pretended to agree, but in fact I just wanted to find out the truth, so as to cover the senior brother... If I If you don't agree, Suzaku will tell Tianshu to let people from the heavens deal with senior brother."

Lin Zhen didn't expect this to happen. He frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Ling said: "I thought there was no need to tell senior brother, because...when I completely seal senior brother's seal, senior brother will be no different from ordinary people, and the heavens will not do anything to senior brother who is a mortal."

Lin Zhen's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "So, you plan to keep me in the dark and never know that you are Ye Yu's son for the rest of your life?"

Xiao Ling's eyes were dark: "Yes."

Lin Zhen broke Xiao Ling's hand violently, "Why?"

"In the heavens, the Big Dipper dominates. In the demon world, the monsters have already changed their banners. Once the brother returns to his real body, there will be many dangers. Even with my protection, he will be hard to guard against, and there will be many dangers."

But Lin Zhen said angrily: "Protect me? Have you ever asked me what I think? It's so funny. I don't know my affairs, but I want you to make decisions for me?"

"Brother..."

"Xiao Ling, I really doubt whether you like me or want to control me." Lin Zhen took a deep breath, "This is my life, all decisions are made by myself, who do I want to contact It's up to me to decide. I'm not your son, let alone your private property! You can help me make decisions without authorization! I'm not a waste of brains!"

Xiao Ling panicked, "Brother, that's not the case, I didn't think so!"

"Xiao Ling, let's go, I want to stay and unlock the other half of the seal."

Xiao Ling's eyes were wide open, his heart was already numb with pain, he almost begged: "Brother, come home with me."

It was the first time Lin Zhen heard Xiao Ling speak in such a tone, her heart tightened, and she almost forgave Xiao Ling, but in the end she held back: "Let's go."

He turned around and entered the room, but Xiao Ling was still standing there blankly, his indifferent expression had fallen to the ground like a mask, his face showed confusion, and his eyes were broken with sadness.

Two hours later, Li Yuan opened the door, and saw Xiao Ling standing in the snow, alone, with red eyes, he had never seen Xiao Ling showing such a fragile expression, he sighed, and patted Xiao Ling. Ling's shoulder said: "Du Li asked me to tell you: go quickly, he will come to you after he unseals the seal, if you insist on not leaving, then he will never see you again for the rest of his life."

Xiao Ling's body, which was almost frozen from the cold, trembled, and only then did Li Yuan see that there were tears on Xiao Ling's face.
