The nine-story building was quiet. The painters all left Mogao Grottoes. It was the end of the year. They got on the motorcade and drove to Hexi to go home for the New Year.

In the evening, Li Jinglong was the one who woke up first, while Hongjun slept dimly, holding Li Jinglong unconsciously. With the sound of footsteps outside, Morigen stepped forward quickly and gestured to Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong squinted, knowing that there was something important, and got up lightly.

"How is it?" Morigen asked in a low voice.

"Let's talk when he wakes up." Li Jinglong replied, "What?"

"The ghost king is leaving." Morigen replied.

Li Jinglong walked out of the nine-story building quickly, and the ghost king and his guards waited outside to bid him farewell.

"There is something I haven't asked for, please be sure to stay for a few more days." Li Jinglong said hurriedly.

The ghost king seemed to have guessed what Li Jinglong wanted to ask, and replied: "I don't know what the phoenix in Yaojin Palace means, but the light of my heart is on you, it's not accidental."

Li Jinglong: "!!!"

The ghost king put his hand on Li Jinglong's shoulder and said, "The Habitat is not dead, and Liu Fei has not yet reported his vengeance, but it is still unknown whether the demon will resurrect."

Li Jinglong seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and asked, "Can the magic seed in Hongjun's body be restrained?"

The ghost king spread his hands and replied: "I can't answer this question for you."

Li Jinglong pondered for a moment, and the ghost king said: "Humans and demons, after all, are different. As I am, I can't provide you with much help. But you and I can temporarily exchange."

Li Jinglong raised his eyes and looked at the King of Ghosts. The King of Ghosts replied, “Although the dead ghouls in this battle are suffering from the world, although it is controlled by the Bailu Heart Demon, Liu Fei and I cannot be blamed.”

Li Jinglong replied, "The sin is on Ha Prison, not on you."

"But when you go back to the earthly court, how should you explain it?" said the ghost king. "The frontier general who guards the earth will let the two hundred thousand ghouls sleeping in Yadan be ignored?"

Li Jinglong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Liu Fei is dead, he has made atonement."

The ghost king nodded, and Li Jinglong said again: "As for Yadan, I have my own way to ensure that no one will disturb your sleep. Your Majesty once promised me a fief. I chose Yadan. Please Hongjun’s uncle at Yumenguan. The previous generation guards, naturally no one will come again."

"So." said the ghost king, "you keep it."

The ghost king handed Li Jinglong a piece of rusty iron armor, and said, "I will give all my help to the enemies of Havil. In addition, you can drive my army once to fight for you."

Li Jinglong took the iron armor and hurriedly clasped his fists to thank him. The ghost king didn't say much, got on his horse and left, disappearing into the setting sun with his guards.

When Li Jinglong returned to the nine-story building, everyone woke up, each yawning.

Li Jinglong glanced at everyone and said, "There are so many people."

Even he himself was a little surprised, Qiu Yongsi lazily leaned on the couch and said, "I still came to help the brothers fight during the Chinese New Year. Do you think I am easy?"

Li Jinglong remembered that today was the end of the year, and said: "Okay, don't care about everything else, cook, Chinese New Year!"

Ah Tai laughed and said, "It's been five years since your last year. Is there any alcohol?"

Li Jinglong had arranged it a long time ago, so he assigned tasks to everyone, and when Lu Xu came, everyone looked at him.

Lu Xu looked at Li Jinglong anxiously, Morigen patted his side and motioned him to sit down.

"He's okay." Lu Xu knew when he saw Li Jinglong that he wanted to ask Hongjun, and replied, "If you have something you can ask him in person, it is better than asking me."

Li Jinglong nodded and said, "I'll kill the chicken and wake up Hongjun later to let him sleep a little longer."

The exorcist moved for a while, Ah Tai went to Ashnajon to make noodles, prepared a meal at the end of the year, and made a tooth sacrifice. Morigen and Lu Xu were sitting in the courtyard peeling chestnuts, preparing to make a chestnut roast chicken. Li Jinglong went to kill the chicken, and Qiu Yongsi and the carp monster were in charge of counting out the dishes.

"Hey, how come a group of big masters, come to this place where birds don't lay eggs for the New Year." Qiu Yongsi couldn't laugh or cry and said to the carp demon, "I really can't think about it."

The carp demon replied: "Yes, there is not a single fish."

When Qiu Yongsi was reminded like this, he remembered, and asked, "Right? What about fish every year?"

Carp demon: "..."

Morigen and Lu Xu sat facing each other, both of them were silent. Morigen's hands were strong, and the chestnut shell was cracked when he pressed his fingers, and he threw it to Lu Xu, and Lu Xu peeled it away.

"Lu Xu." Morigen said, "Are you still angry with me?"

After listening to Hongjun's account in the painting, Morigen knew that Lu Xu had followed him all the way, begging him to come and save himself. And Chang Lang also became the last hope of Lu Xu trapped in the painting at some point.

"I've sworn an oath before." Lu Xuman said casually, "I went to the Amitabha Pure Land Change when they were not paying attention."

"What wish?" Morigen raised his eyes to look at him.

"Xu is, whoever comes to save me, I will follow him in my life." Lu Xu lowered his head, looked at the white chestnut in his hand, and threw it into the basket.

Morigen: "..."

Lu Xu raised his eyes, looked at Morigen, and said nothing.

"I didn't know at that time." Morigen said.

"Now you know." Lu Xu replied.

Morigen whispered: "Lu Xu, my mission in this life is to find you."

Lu Xu said: "I don't care about your fucking mission, anyway, you didn't come in the end."

Morigen replied: "It's not fair to say that! I didn't know it was you!"

"How does Hongjun know?" Lu Xu asked rhetorically.

Morigen squeezed the chestnut into a "click", frowned and said: "This is not fair!"

Lu Xu said: "You only came to me because I was Bailu reincarnated, didn't you? I am Bailu, who is Bailu, it is the same to you."

Morigen said: "It's different, it's different, Lu Xu!"

Looking at Lu Xu, Morigen felt that he was full of words to say, but he didn't know why, but he couldn't say what he said.

Morigen: "I thought Bailu was a beautiful girl."

"I am neither beautiful nor a girl." Lu Xu replied.

Morigen said: "I think she might not know that she is Bailu, and then I come, I will love her well and take care of her..."

Lu Xu raised his eyebrows, and signaled that the chestnut in Mo Rigen's hand hurry up. Morigen had to throw the chestnuts at him, and said: "...but on this road, all of this is so fast that I can't think about it clearly. I never thought that we would be... both men. It's Bailu."

"What are you trying to say?" Lu Xu asked.

"We are destined to be together!" Morigen finally said that sentence.

"Why don't I know?" Lu Xu looked at Morigen and said, "Who is doomed to you!"

Morigen said, "Otherwise why did you go to Yulin to find me?"

"I was faint at the time!" Lu Xu said, "Is it awake now?"

Morigen finally couldn't bear it and said, "What do you mean? I also spared my life to save you. You can't just because Hongjun brought you out in the end, you just..."

"Oh, you two peel so many chestnuts, how many dishes do you want to make?" Ashnajon said with a hand full of flour, looking at the whole barrel of chestnuts in front of them.

"Shut up!" Lu Xu and Morigen said in unison, Lu Xu got up and left.

When Hongjun was half asleep, he was awakened by a chicken that was struggling hard outside before he died. Li Jinglong had never killed a chicken before. He cut the neck of the chicken for bleeding, but did not cut the right place, causing the chicken to scream frantically and flap its wings , Tilted his head halfway, and ran around with blood on the ground.

Hongjun roared irritably, "Can you be quiet?!"

He opened his eyes and walked to the fence with sleepy eyes. He saw Li Jinglong on the next floor chasing the chicken. He immediately flew over, and the chicken fell to the ground with a grunt. The world was finally quiet.

With blood in both hands, Li Jinglong immediately raised his head and said, "Hongjun!"

Hongjun disappeared on the third floor, Li Jinglong walked up quickly, but Hongjun went down to the second floor, picked up the chicken, and Li Jinglong followed. The two looked at each other, and Li Jinglong was a little bit ridiculous.

"What are you doing?" Hongjun frowned.

"New Year's Day." Li Jinglong replied.

Hongjun nodded and said nothing. Li Jinglong boiled the water and plucked chicken feathers in the courtyard on the side of the nine-story building.

Li Jinglong's right hand was always trembling. It seemed that he was bitten by Ha Prison last night and left a wound, but he was injured in the meridian. Hongjun thought about it again and again, after all, he didn't ask any questions.

He couldn't help but look at Li Jinglong. In these days, Li Jinglong seemed to realize his alienation from him, and now, Li Jinglong has become a little cautious, as if he was afraid of getting angry at everything.

His eyes were still bruised by Hongjun, and Hongjun suddenly felt a little sad.

"Still angry with me?" Li Jinglong said, plucking out chicken feathers.

Hongjun suddenly felt sad when he heard this.

Li Jinglong said: "I am useless, are you still uncomfortable?"

Li Jinglong looked up at Hongjun, and Hongjun replied: "It's not uncomfortable. Are you so worried about what I do? Why don't you worry about yourself."

Li Jinglong turned the chicken over and continued to pluck the hair: "Is it okay to care about you?"

Hongjun said: "I can take care of myself."

Li Jinglong said suddenly: "I'm afraid you are uncomfortable, but you don't say anything to me, even to Morigen, to Tegla, if I guess right, I will see Yongsi later, you will have more words than now. "While speaking, he looked up at Hongjun again and said, "Even if it is Lu Xu, you are willing to talk to him. I don't understand, what did I do wrong?"

Hongjun stared at Li Jinglong in a daze. At that moment, he had the urge to tell him. But what's the point of speaking out? Li Jinglong has forgotten the past. Will he feel guilty after knowing it? What should he say?

"Lu Xu and I actually met a long time ago." Hongjun replied.

"He told me." Li Jinglong said lightly, "This is good." Then he turned the chicken over again, and the two looked at the stripped chicken in Li Jinglong's hand.

"You woke up from that time," Li Jinglong said again, "you are mad at me because I'm hiding it from you, right?"

"No." Hongjun replied.

Li Jinglong pointed to his bruised eye sockets, turned his head, and said, "Here I will give you another punch? My brother just doesn't want you to be scared, and I don't want you to think it's causing everyone trouble.

"Really not." Hongjun insisted.

Li Jinglong said solemnly: "Then what is it for?"

Hongjun didn't say a word again. Li Jinglong plucked his chicken feathers, lowered his eyes, and said, "Hongjun, do you think I am smart?"

"Very smart." Hongjun replied, "You are the smartest person I have ever seen."

"But I can't guess why you are angry with me." Li Jinglong raised his eyes and looked at Hongjun, with a sad look in his eyes.

"I'm not angry with you." Hongjun replied.

"Yes." Li Jinglong said, "Since you wake up, you have become different. I admit that I am useless. From the day of Liang Province City, I have made a wrong step and a wrong step. I wish I could Let time go back, and back to that night, I should not go out."

Hongjun was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm leaving."

"Where to go?" Li Jinglong replied.

Hongjun replied: "Go home."

Li Jinglong: "I promised you to accompany you to the Yaojin Palace."

Hongjun wanted to reject him. He couldn't let go of the scene in his memory, but he couldn't speak, so he could only remain silent.

"Yo." Ashnajon looked down on the second floor and said, "My surname is Li, how long will your chicken feathers be plucked? The plucking is cleaner than your noble concubine's face."

Li Jinglong: "..."

Hongjun stood up and left. Li Jinglong wanted to fight Ashnajon.

Qiu Yongsi and the carp demon were sitting side by side in front of an ice river. A hole was cut in the river, and they each held a shot to fish in the ice hole.

The carp demon said: "Why do I want to fish as a fish?"

Qiu Yongsi said: "Otherwise, what should I do? There is no fish in the New Year's Eve dinner. It is really bad luck. I can't cook you?"

The carp demon had no choice but to stop talking.

That night, Li Jinglong set aside the table, fearing that the wine and dishes in the Mogao Grottoes might collide with the Bodhisattva, he moved to the farthest place, where painters usually gather to open a New Year's Eve dinner.

"How is it?" Morigen asked Li Jinglong, stepping up to help him and moving the case up. Li Jinglong's right hand was still a little trembling.

"Still angry." Li Jinglong said, "Can't ask, how about you?"

Morigen said: "I haven't figured it out myself yet."

When Lu Xu entered, he glanced at the two of them, and they immediately stopped talking.

Hongjun smelled the scent. He hadn't eaten anything for a day and a night, and he was so hungry that he pressed his heart to his back. What kind of monsters, nightmares, and monsters were all thrown behind him, and he quickly sat down. Qiu Yongsi laughed, and rode forward on Hongjun's shoulder. Hongjun yelled and pressed him to beat him.

"You want to kill me!" Qiu Yongsi smiled.

Hongjun said: "You actually arrived too!"

Qiu Yongsi patted Hongjun on the back, embraced him affectionately, and said, "Fortunately, it came in time." Then he reached his ear and whispered.

"Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, everyone will be with you."

Hongjun: "..."

Hongjun looked up at Qiu Yongsi. Qiu Yongsi showed a warm smile and turned to sit down in front of the other case. Ah Tai and Ashnajon also came in. Ah Tai made an ambiguous look at Hongjun, and Hongjun laughed.

Everyone wisely did not mention anything about the Demon Seed. Lu Xuze sat next to Hongjun, and Li Jinglong said, "I have burned a lot of dishes today, and there is no way to divide it. Put the case together and everyone can get what they need. .

"Where is Zhao Zilong?" Hongjun asked.

"Here," said the carp demon on the plate on the table.

Everyone: "..."

The carp demon lay on the plate, moved his tail, and covered some green onion, ginger and garlic on his body, but did not steam it.

"More than year after year, it should be a scene."
