The expression in Chu He's eyes looking at Demon Venerable was a little surprised, but almost instantly recovered his composure: "Are you a vampire bat? Where there is blood, you can smell it?"

The question was very rude, and he was extremely unhappy. The Demon Lord might return a few sentences when he changed to the usual one, but at the moment he only maintained the posture of leaning in the void, looked up and down Chu He around, and asked: "Is the injury healed last time?"

Chu He said: "If you want to chat, go out and find Zhou Hui, he should not be far from here. I will teach the children, and you won't do anything."

If you look at it carefully, you will find that his hand holding Maha suddenly tightened, but the Demon Lord pressed his backhand on Maha’s shoulder, while staring at Chu He with a smile: "I found that you are really good at it. Carrying out one to frighten the other, is this kind of side-to-side exchange an additional skill brought by beauty?...Tsk, don’t look at me like that, I didn’t say you can’t use this additional skill. Anyway, if you are willing to remarry, I will. It’s not a big deal for your stepfather to do a little favor if you see your children as your own sons."

Chu He frowned and said: "What do you want to do?!"

Mozun stretched out his hand and stroked his side cheek, and then, in a thunderous manner, grabbed Maha and rushed into the sky!

Mozun Brahma is the only person in the six realms who can travel freely. If he enters the void, it will be very troublesome to grasp his whereabouts. Chu He almost didn't even hit him, and then he grabbed Maha and shouted: "Zhou Hui!"

The huge boulders piled up at the exit of the grotto collapsed, and the pure blue long arrow broke the wind in the next second, grazing the top of Maha’s head, and at the moment the demon lun raised his head, it pressed against his neck with a deep "bang!" Nailed into the rock.

The demon said: "Brother Peacock, your father really doesn't care about your life or death." As he stretched out his hand, the black energy in his palm condensed into a cluster, roaring out like a long dragon!

This hurricane-like airflow formed a forbidden word once it was released, and it slammed the exit, causing hundreds of violent shocks. At that time, Zhou Hui was blocked out. At the same moment, Chu He rubbed his body and cut to the Demon Venerable’s throat with a palm, but he was blocked by the lightning and stone fire. He only heard the Demon Venerable smile and said: "The spirit is commendable, it's a pity..."

The voice did not fall. Chu He backhand held the arm of the demon lord's block, using this as a strength point, he leaped up in midair, and kicked the demon lord against the rock wall with a heavy kick!

This action is really clean and neat, it can be called a textbook attack model. If there is the power of the extremely evil appearance just now, the Demon Lord should have vomited out his lungs at this moment.

The demon coughed respectfully, his voice sounding dull as if it came out of his chest. But despite this, he still held the peacock with one hand, pressed his chest with the other, and said with a smile: "I can't have any softness to you, really..."

Chu He interrupted him sharply: "What the **** do you want to do, Fanluo!"

"My child wants to go to the sea of ​​blood, didn't you hear it? Don't be so rigid." Fanluo coughed again and turned to Maha with a smile: "Brother, your father seems to be unreliable. I'm still obligated to help you block the thunder. This is enough for you to call me father."

Chu He closed his eyes, forcibly suppressed and took a deep breath. He knew that the current situation was that the praying mantis was behind the cicada and the oriole. He and Zhou Hui were too bad in their condition. It was almost impossible to block Fanluo.

——Mozun Brahma can eliminate the sky thunder, which is very rare in the nine heavens and ten realms.

Heaven’s Tribulation and Heaven’s Scourge are two different things. The former will be there in time. No matter how deep your Taoism is or how respected your position, as long as you are not a true God, you will experience these three things in your almost infinite life. Five times. The Heavenly Scourge will only be lowered by the Gods and Buddhas after committing a felony. It’s not that Zhang Sanlisi is eligible to be condemned by the Heavenly Scourge. For example, the Human World has not seen the Heavenly Scourge for a long time. In the eyes of gods and Buddhas, they can't even regain that point.

Heaven's Tribulation is for the purpose of trial, while the Heavenly Scourge is endless. The latter's strength is many orders of magnitude greater than the former. In addition, Heavenly Scourge also has an elusive feature, that is, the very few demon king-level figures who are extremely evil in the "Four Evil Dao" are full of crimes, and Tianlei will avoid them instead.

——Mozun is one of them.

Chu He took a few steps back, probably because he was extremely weak after being physically exhausted. He leaned on the rock and took a breath for a little bit, and then said slightly and mockingly: "You just want to threaten me."

Mozun laughed, seeming to think that this family is really interesting, turned his head and said to Maha: "I just thought it was pitiful for you to be the King of Ming and not to love your mother or to love your mother. Now I withdraw the preface... …At least my mother still loves you, admitting that you have the value of being a handle, should I cooperate with him in good faith?"

"Whatever you want." The wound left by Maha when he was nailed to the rock wall by a pure green arrow showed no sign of healing at all. The blood was soaked all over his body, and his voice was like a handful of gravel in his throat. So hoarse: "But it's useless for you to take me hostage when Zhou Hui comes in, don't talk nonsense, go and go!"

The Demon Lord praised: "It seems that you have a good understanding of the behavioral patterns of your relatives. That's good." Without turning his head back and waving his backhand, the void seemed to be bitten by invisible sharp teeth, with a sharp hissing sound. The uneven black hole was split in the middle, and it expanded to a terrifying number of feet in a few seconds!

Extremely strong suction power came continuously from the black hole, even Chu He staggered two steps, grabbing the rock before gritting his teeth. At that moment, he wanted to fight again, even his expression changed, but then the suction in the black hole increased, the rock pile blocking the exit became loose, and many half-person-high stones hit the head like hail. Come, the last thing he can do is just hold onto the slate that can cover him, and shout: "Maha!"

Maha looked at him deeply, only listening to Chu He hoarsely said: "If you regret it..."

At this moment, only a loud bang was heard. Under the action of powerful suction, Zhou Hui finally violently broke the seal of Demon Lord, but the moment he entered, he was almost sucked away by his head, and immediately cursed: "I x your ancestors ! No matter where you are, you will cut the beast!"

Van Luo made a provocative gesture to Zhou Hui, grabbed Maha, and retreated into the black hole the next second. Almost at the same time, the black hole violently deformed and stretched, splitting the rock slab above them like a lightning strike, destroying the already shaky stable structure of the grotto, and washing up the ground in the rain-like soil and gravel.

The moment they rushed out, a lot of lightning rods exploded at the same time in the entire H city. Then the thunder and lightning came to a halt on the top of Fanluo's head, and the demon was transformed into a giant bird covering the sky in ancient mythology, spreading its wings to cover the sky and sun, and rushed directly into the thick black cloud with just one fan!

Chu He punched the stone slab, Zhou Hui rushed over to grab him by the shoulder, and shouted: "Go! This place is going to collapse!"

They passed through the gravel like giant hail, and saw countless stones engraved with a great forbidden curse falling from the top of the sky and hitting the ground as dust. Zhou Hui clutched Chu He's head and stumbled all the way through the rugged tunnel, only to see the nine-tailed fox responding at the corner close to the ground, each with two tails, and he turned and threw them up forcefully.

With a bang, they fell to the muddy ground in the rain at the same time. They couldn't move for a few seconds. They only felt that the bones of their bodies were cracked, and even their breathing caused a hot drama in the chest. pain. The nine-tailed fox jumped out of the large area of ​​the sunken ground, instantly transformed into humans, walked to them lightly, and saw Zhou Hui spread his hands and feet on the ground, weakly saying: "Fox, every time you have a big tail. At that time, I felt as if I saw your chrysanthemum......"

Li Hu didn't know what he did, and Zhou Hui's voice stopped with a bang.

Chu He reluctantly got up from the ground, only feeling dizzy, his eyes turned black for a while, his mouth was bitter and sweet, he should be filled with blood.

He swallowed hard and coughed hoarsely.

He clutched his throat tightly and looked around. I saw that the construction site was surrounded by cordon lines, and the police were densely blocked outside. Many reporters held up their cameras and shook them desperately. It seemed that they wanted to cross the police blockade and shoot inside.

The heavy rain gradually diminished and stopped, but the dark thick cumulus clouds in the sky still remained. Such clouds should stay in the sky above City H for half a month. During this half month, the lights must be turned on at home during the day, and if the street lights on the street are off, it should be no different from the night.

Chu He stood up swayingly. Yan Lanyu was leaning against a tree and coughing ceaselessly. He definitely suffered internal injuries, and a mouthful of blood came out when he coughed. Zhang Shun sat on the ground drinking water. He recovered the fastest. As soon as he saw Chu He, he stood up and wanted to walk over. There was basically no problem except a little limp.

"Brother..."

Chu He waved his hand to stop talking, and walked to the side of the building, in a shallow pit that was split by lightning.

The weasel is lying quietly inside, the blood on its fur has solidified.

Chu He walked to it, sat down cross-legged, and took the weasel into his arms. He remained motionless for a long time. After a long while, he finally stretched out his trembling hand and began to comb the weasel's flesh-stained fur.

He just repeats mechanically like this, repeating, as if to use this action to clean up the weasel to the usual vigorous, smooth-skinned appearance. Zhang Shun looked at his back, it was a back that was so thin that it made people feel abrupt, so thin that every time his arm was raised, he could see the obvious movement of his shoulder blades through his clothes.

His head is lowered, and the tips of his hair stained with blood and mud are attached to his ears and neck. The stalks of the back of the neck bone are protruding, very, very obvious in the drooping neck line. It was a solitary until it seemed to break at any time, but most of the time, it was so strong that it was invincible.

Zhou Hui walked upside down, smiled when he passed Zhang Shun but didn't speak, walked over to Chu He and knelt down and sat down.

"Don't be sad," Zhou Hui said.

Chu He didn't answer, he said softly after a long while: "It's simple."

Zhou Hui patted him on the shoulder, seeming to want to say something, but after forbearing, he did not speak.

Chu He kept touching it with his hands, and finally cleaned the last bit of blood and dirt on the weasel's hair, looked down at its lifeless body, and looked at it for a long, long time without blinking. Said: "I don't have many friends, there is one lying here..."

Zhou Hui turned his head to look at him, "You are so strange."

"..."

"It was the first time I saw a man who came down from the 33rd layer. He was still a Ming king and regarded monsters as his own friends. I thought that the only hungry ghosts in the Six Ways were humbler than the lower level monsters like the weasel. ." Zhou Hui repeated as if he thought it was funny: "You are so strange."

Chu He did not answer, as if he hadn't heard Zhou Hui's words at all. He slowly buried his face in the cold fur of the weasel, and his shoulders began to tremble slightly for a while. His hands were so hard that he grasped the weasel so hard that his fingers spasm a little, and all the joints turned pale.

"No one...no one can afford it, it is just a weasel, even Taoist...even ordinary Taoists are afraid..."

You are so fussed and worried about being afraid, even ordinary Taoists are afraid of you. Why were you not afraid of Maha at that time?

Why are you pulling him?

Why don't you avoid it?

"You don't know..." Chu He coughed, and every sound was dull as if it came out of the chest cavity, intermittently hoarse: "You don't know how timid it is, you don't know how hard it works... "

Zhou Hui turned his head away to prevent him from seeing the expression on his face.

The weasel's tail moved.

Chu He didn't notice it, but then the weasel kicked his leg, and then another.

"...Chu...Mr. Chu," After a few more minutes, the weasel's vague voice finally came from the top of his head: "...you have pressed my lungs..."

Chu He brushed his head up, his expression was indescribable for an instant.

The weasel looked at him cautiously and graciously, and the corners of his mouth kept bubbling with blood, so that the voice was gurgling: "I...I'm so touched Mr. Chu, do you really treat me as a friend? Huluulu...It turns out that you are really the King of Heaven, then you admit me now, does it mean that I can also become a fairy? Huluulu...My wound hurts--it hurts, hululu-- "

Zhou Hui’s whole body was twitching weirdly, and a laugh that could not be suppressed for a long time finally came: "If the phoenix and phoenix were transformed into ancient beasts, tears would be a rare healing sacred object. The weasel had not breathed back then. Your tears are about to wash it all over hahahaha... I brought it up for an emergency treatment, hahahaha, hahahahahaha!"

Chu He felt as if he was struck by thunder, and the stone sculpture was motionless. The wooden expression made the weasel feel a little vacant, and carefully stretched out his paws and shook in front of his eyes: "Chu...Mr. Chu? Chu Fenghuang? His Royal Highness?...Are you okay?"

Chu He violently violently, dragged the weasel and fell to the ground, violently churning his head and covering his face!

"Ah! Ah help! Help! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Chu He turned a deaf ear to his ears, his eyes were flushed and he grabbed the weasel skin and picked it up. It seemed that he wanted to give it a bit more like smoking a Maha just now, but he raised his hand fiercely, and finally did not pull it off, but only moved it around. Hui fell on his head.

Weasel and Zhou Hui let out a scream at the same time, and both fell to the ground and rolled awkwardly together. Zhou Hui couldn't stop laughing and laughed wildly, reaching out to try to tear Chu He down, but Chu He coughed again, staggering up, clutching his chest, and limping away without looking back.

The weasel was lying on the ground and spitting blood like a faucet in his throat: "Chu...Is President Chu okay? Do you want to apologize?..."

Zhou Hui thumped: "It's okay, hahahaha—don’t pay attention to him, the baby is very depressed, and the baby feels bitter hahahaha—"

·

The group of people was rushed to the hospital. Thanks to Zhou Hui’s help, the weasel finally changed back to Mayor Huang at the moment the reporters broke the gate. The **** and dying appearance was captured by countless cameras at the same time. It must be able to occupy the headlines of all newspapers in city h that day.

Mayor Huang was very worried, but Zhou Hui said it was okay. They have special means to deal with this matter. Sure enough, when Mayor Huang was bandaged and lying on the hospital bed with his feet flipping through the newspaper the next day, all the news was that a group of Japanese spies took advantage of investment opportunities to spy on intelligence. After being discovered, Mayor Huang hijacked and fled to h. Under the city, the provincial police quickly organized troops to carry out encirclement and suppression. Mayor Huang actively cooperated with the wise fight against robbers. Finally, the Japanese spies were wiped out and the mayor himself was rescued.

As for thunder and lightning and heavy rains, the meteorological department has only repeatedly emphasized that citizens should reduce their trips recently and try not to work at heights to ensure the safety of water and electricity.

No one knows that the first thing Mayor Huang did after arriving at the hospital was not an emergency blood transfusion, but crying and shouting to take a bath, but also to wash in a basin, and the water after washing should be kept in the refrigerator. inverted.

Zhou Hui was extremely curious, and wanted Mayor Huang to tell him the reason in exchange for the peace talisman, but just like the last time he tried to sell the peace talisman to Zhang Er Shao and was miserably rejected, this time it was also rejected. In the end, Zhou Hui threatened with violence and finally forced Fatty Huang to twist and tell the truth. It turned out that there might be remnants of Phoenix tears on his body. Of course, this kind of heaven and earth must be preserved. What if there is an accident in the future?

Everyone feels very logical and speechless. However, in view of the fact that there was only one ancient phoenix, and its phoenix-shaped tears are rare for thousands of years, it is impossible to say how long the shelf life will be. Maybe it will fail when exposed to the air.

This time I encountered the real Peacock Ming King in H City. The two team leaders got tied together and something went wrong, especially the missing Feng Si was found, which caused a great sensation within Guoan. Beijing sent people the next day. After running many times to the H city hospital, they finally picked up both Yan Lanyu and Xiangtian.

Aida was not dead, which shocked everyone. It is said that the "scavenger" of the Guoan Specialist was cleaning the underground grottoes and found him in a hidden gap in the tunnel. At that time, he lost too much blood and was dying. After emergency treatment, he was taken on a plane to Beijing in the name of espionage. What to do with him later depends on the balance of interests within Guoan.

As for Yan Lanyu, according to the news from Beijing, he was really seriously injured. After arriving in Beijing and getting off the plane, the psychological support was gone, and he fell directly to the ground. The agent in charge of the **** was shocked and sent to ICU immediately. .

Probably because he has experienced life and death together, he will be more emotionally concerned. Zhang Shun has inquired about his condition several times, but he has not received a definite answer. Zhou Hui only told him that this boy was one of the special figures that Guoan needed to retrieve from overseas, but he could not go to Japan for rescue due to very complicated political reasons, and it has been delayed until today.

And Zhang Shun himself, as a rich second generation who can't carry on his shoulders, walked back and forth at the moment of life and death, but miraculously suffered only minor injuries. Except for the severe bruises caused by moving a stone in both hands and the knockout of his front teeth, the doctor soon announced that he could be discharged from the hospital.

·

Zhang Er Shao was very miserable on the day he was discharged. Other patients who were discharged from the hospital were either parents, elders, brothers and sisters, or wives and children, and waited, but Zhang Ershao and his brother did not even have a shadow, and none of the flowers, flowers and grasses, Yingyingyanyan who paid him money. At the door of the ward, the old housekeeper took the two servants. Zhang Shun looked at the man in the next hospital bed and drank the bone soup his wife had cooked, and instructed his son to cut oranges and apples. He felt sour and unpleasant.

The old butler took the opportunity to persuade me with all my heart: "So you have to find a good girl to marry early, have a few children, and pass on the blood of the Zhang family..."

Zhang Shunxin said that he would avoid it. If he came out like Maha, he might be cutting apples for Lao Tzu or cutting Lao Tzu's head with a knife in the middle of the night.

The old butler is still talking about it, and Young Master Zhang couldn't help but interrupt and ask: "What about my brother? Why doesn't he come when I leave the hospital?"

The old housekeeper said: "The eldest master hasn't been home for a long time. Isn't he on a business trip? Hey, I said the second master, you must not be like you were when you were a child, because little things always look bad at the eldest master. I've been called my brother for so many years, so the young master is still very good to you..."

Zhang Shun felt a little bitter, and immediately found an excuse to send the old housekeeper away, and found a quiet place to call his brother.

He was very confused when he was hospitalized, and when he closed his eyes at night, he suspected that his thrilling experience underground was false. Buddha bones, phoenixes, and peacock kings are just a special twists and turns and a bizarre dream made by playing too many computer games. Probably because of this escape mentality, he deliberately did not go to Chu He, and Chu He did not take the initiative to contact him.

Now that he counts, he hasn't seen his brother for more than a week.

Who knows that the call is hung up as soon as the call is made, and it is still hung up after making two more calls. Zhang Ershao was like an abandoned little girl, with tears and silver teeth clenching her teeth, exerting his tenacious willpower when he moved bricks in the tunnel, he made seven or eight phone calls, and finally Chu He came from the phone. A little muffled, but very calm voice: "Hey, Zhang Shun."

Zhang Er Shao said angrily: "Where are you?!"

"Something is going on."

"What's the matter, you won't come after I was discharged from the hospital today?! Others were discharged from the hospital and family members came to pick you up! Where are you?!"

On the other side of the phone, Chu He was silent for a long time, only to hear the rustle of telecommunication signals, and it took him a long time to sigh.

"Ah Shun, I will be away for a while," he said, "I intend to return the position of company president."

Zhang Ershao was immediately confused, standing in the hospital corridor for a long time without responding. Finally recovered, but before he had time to speak, he only heard his brother say: "Let's do this first, then contact." Then he hung up the phone.

Zhang Er Shao stood in the corridor. There was no joy of smashing thousands of family properties at all. Only the little girl was paid to compensate for the loss and anger of feelings after the miserable encounter with the guilty man.

·

For the next week, he really couldn't contact Chu He again. His brother didn't go to the company or go home, his credentials were there, but no one answered his cell phone. Just like when he drifted away without concern, this person once again disappeared from his life without concern.

Zhang Shun found an old photo album when he was tidying up his home, and he opened it to see the photo of himself and Chu He when he was a teenager. At that moment, he felt in a daze that this person who had been called his brother for more than ten years seemed to be really just a spring and autumn dream.

Zhang Ershao has a sense of discomfort similar to that after the college entrance examination, from extreme tension and pressure to a state of doing nothing, feels that there is a problem with his psychological imbalance. This state continued until half a month later, when he went to the hospital for a review, and in the corridor of the ward, he happened to meet Mayor Huang and Li Hu.

Mayor Huang was still wearing a hospital gown with a bandage on the back of his head. He walked slowly along the corridor. Li Hu walked aside with his arms in high heels. He was stunned when he saw Zhang Ershao, then turned around and left. .

Zhang Shun didn’t even have time to say hello to Mayor Huang, so he stopped in front of Li Hu: "Stop!"

The sharp sound almost changed the tone, and several doctors and nurses in the hallway turned their heads and looked at them curiously.

Li Hu stopped helplessly, "It's been a long time since I saw Zhang Ershao, I suddenly want to go to the toilet..."

Zhang Shun stood in front of her motionlessly. At that moment, a lot of thoughts flashed in his mind-what should be the opening remarks? How can we pry open this woman's mouth most efficiently? He came up with several ideas, but they were quickly rejected. These human spirits, if they don't hit their key points, they will easily be pushed back by Tai Chi, just like when they questioned Zhou Hui.

Zhang Shun is no longer the rich second-generation stupid, after all, he calmed down after a little confusion, staring straight into Li Hu's eyes and said: "I have a question to ask you." /

Li Hu looked around and wanted to say something, but Zhang Shun didn't give her a chance, so he asked straightforwardly:

"——You lied to me to go into the tunnel to kill me with Maha’s hand, right?"

Li Hu froze instantly.

Zhang Shun could even feel cold sweat slowly oozing from her temples.
