Chu He's body finally gradually recovered. When the weather was warm, he was finally allowed to walk in the garden of the community with Zhou Hui's company.

This process of obtaining approval is not easy, because Zhou Hui was against it at the beginning-he is the kind of person whose inner will is extremely difficult to change even if the attitude of saying no on the surface is very light. Chu He mentioned it to him many times, tried everything from a tough attitude to tactfully begging, and in the end he even turned his face a bit, and he reluctantly removed the forbidden curse on the door.

But every time he went downstairs, he accompanied Chu He. The two of them walked in the garden downstairs holding hands, sometimes sitting by the fountain, watching the red koi swimming in the water.

This community is worthy of its shocking high prices. The garden is vast, beautiful and secluded, the trees are hidden by the gurgling clear water, the grass is surrounded by large clumps of seasonal flowers, and the pool is surrounded by palm trees. A circle of white tables and chairs, Zhou Hui would sometimes bring fresh juices and snacks from home to spend an afternoon with Chu He at will.

Occasionally in the evening, an adult took a child out for a walk, and the child ran over and asked for a snack. Chu He smiled, picked up the cake or candy, and placed it in the open palms of these children.

He is indeed a person who likes children very much. He seems to have a natural affinity for those warm, young, soft creatures.

However, Zhou Hui only sat on the sidelines, sometimes reading books, and sometimes taking the platform computer to research something casually, turning a blind eye to the people around him. Occasionally the puppy and kitten ran to his feet, and he only swept away gently with his toes, without even looking away.

He doesn't like those.

He doesn't like those young, soft, wailing creatures.

When did it start? Sometimes Chu He looked at him and thought so.

In Chu He's memory, Zhou Hui had liked Maha. At least when Maha was very young and noisy, Zhou Hui often hugged him to sleep all night and all night. Sometimes he put the baby bird on his shoulder or on top of his head and climbed to the top of the mountain. Go up and hum to the starry sky and sing the ballad of sleep.

The warmth at that moment gave people an illusion of eternity, but in fact it was only a short period of time, and it was quickly broken into thousands of pieces in the long river of years.

After Maha was seven or eight years old, he began to dream of his mother's tragic death.

The scenes in his dreams are so clear and real that he always wakes up crying late at night. The panicked child still came to his parents for comfort at first, but as this nightmare became more frequent, Zhou Hui's mood became more and more restless in the vague guess, his attitude became erratic, and even one night he The accumulated depression finally broke out. When Maha cried to pat the door, he bluntly rejected him, letting the child choke outside from crying.

Perhaps from that moment on, there was a trace of hatred and fear in his eyes when he looked at Maha that was hard to detect.

He didn't hide well. In other words, the child's sensitive and immature soul has actually felt his father's aversion to him.

Maha became more and more silent, surly, and moody. His frequent nightmares sometimes even confuses the difference between reality and dreams. One morning when Phoenix went to dress him, he suddenly looked at his mother and asked, "Aren’t you dead?"—His eyes were puzzled and his tone was calm. It seemed that the long-term dream torment made him feel from the heart. Accepted the "fact" of the death of his mother.

Phoenix spent a lot of time to accompany him, even not leaving him for half a step all day long, but the chaotic situation is always good and bad, and repeated. When it was good, Maha only disliked his father and relied heavily on his mother; but when it was bad, Maha refused to see his mother because he could not tell whether his mother was a living person or a ghost.

Zhou Hui's efforts and patience have reached their limits in such a sinister and chaotic situation.

The second son, Jia Luo Lou, came at such an inappropriate time.

Actually, thinking about it now, Zhou Hui was not as mature and smooth and experienced as he is now. In the current situation, he should be able to deal with this shaky family relationship more easily, but he did endure the limit of his ability back then.

After Jia Luolou was born, Zhou Hui's feelings for this child who resembled himself were not so much love, but a more complicated feeling. On the one hand, his natural sense of responsibility for his children is still there. On the other hand, he fears that Jialuo Lou will become another Maha, and one day in the future, he will once again foretell him a ruinous end.

Driven by such complex feelings, he showed great restraint in his paternal love for Jia Luo Lou. Although he fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, it was really just a responsibility.

Sometimes he might even be afraid of Maha approaching Jialuo Tower. When he saw the two children together, he felt that fate was hiding behind them like a devil, laughing wildly at him, step by step towards the established The ending.

Children are not fools. They may not understand the complex feelings of their fathers, but instinctively feel who is the most reliable. The more stereotyped and alienated the father is, the more compensation and love the mother will be inspired by guilt, and the closer the children will be to the Phoenix. In the end, this forms a vicious circle that cannot be stopped like a whirlpool, and even Maha grows up to three. After the thirteenth heaven retreat, the relationship between Zhou Hui and the second son Jia Luolou did not fully relax.

Perhaps since then, Zhou Hui has become less fond of children, and later developed that he also doesn't like all the young, limp creatures that seek refuge from him.

Chu He tried to change this weird family relationship, but Zhou Hui couldn't help it. He also tried to visit Maha who was meditating in front of the Buddha in the 33rd heaven alone, and he also tried to get close to the Jialuo Tower, but the results were not very satisfactory. The strange and stiff atmosphere when father and son get along makes each other very embarrassed. .

Phoenix once asked Zhou Hui, if there was no illusory "omen" of Maha, would it be possible that everything today would have happened?

Zhou Hui thought for a long time and shook his head.

"Maybe from my bones, I don’t have the talent to be a father... The blood sea monster is a low-level creature that only knows to fight and swallow. It rarely estrus and produce offspring; even if there are offspring, there will be no nurturing. Instinct, because children are born as competitors and predators of survival resources, and even some monsters will produce cubs when resources are scarce, and they are just used as food reserves..."

"So sometimes when I see Maha, I have a sense of urgency and crisis from instinct-I know that not only can I not move him, but I must also raise him, but one day he will become my competitor. Even in the near future, it will completely replace me..."

When talking about this, Zhou Hui smiled bitterly, his voice was full of heavy:

"——'Replacement' is a terrible thing. Maybe I just projected this fear on the overly powerful offspring."

·

Phoenix’s greatest advantage is that he rarely persuades others to accept his opinions, or forces others to convert in the so-called "right" direction. What Zhou Hui really cannot do, even if he himself thinks it is necessary, he will not ask Zhou Hui to do it again and again.

He respects Zhou Hui's racial instinct as a monster, and understands his complex feelings for future generations.

The thousand-year-long retreat on Mount Xumi finally freed Maha from the torture of confusion between dreams and reality. During this period, Jialuo gradually grew up and Maha came back to humans from 33 days. After the world, the family lived in Tibet and formed a strangely balanced relationship on the vast snow-capped plateau.

It's like the top of a snow-capped glacier. Although everyone knows that a scream can cause tons of snow to collapse instantly, but at least before that scream erupts, everything remains vulnerable temporarily Balance.

Without that specific opportunity, an avalanche would not happen.

And all the destined fate, soon began to work.

Snow Mountain Golden Summit, peacock swallows Buddha.

——The 30,000-year Buddha's calamity tied to Phoenix's body was finally answered again.

The Buddha broke through the spine of a peacock and lowered the strongest scourge in history. Hundreds of thousands of huge thunders turned the glacier into flat ground, cut off the Yarlung Zangbo River, and flooded the vast Wanli Plain.

The peacock was struggling painfully in the sky, and the wailing sound shook nine days and ten places. Feathers and flesh and blood were scattered on the collapsed ground like a torrential rain; the phoenix wanted to rush to the sky to rescue, but Zhou Hui was pressed hard, no Allow him to step into the minefield.

Until the last of the billions of thunder tribulations, and the strongest sky thunder that concentrated all the wrath of the gods and Buddhas, the peacock finally left only the last ray of true soul, showing scars from the sky and the earth. Phantom, stretched out his bleeding head in front of Phoenix, and finally rubbed his mother's hand:

"Goodbye... mother."

Phoenix broke out with a heart-piercing scream, forcibly broke free of the ninety-nine and eighty-one demon bans, screamed and transformed into a real body and rushed to the sky, withstanding the final blow with his body!

——With that single blow, the phoenix body was shattered and burned.

The scorched bones of the phoenix were swept by the collapsed ground, and with the flood and snow flow, they were deeply plunged into the glaciers of the Himalayas, and never saw the sky again.

——That is all the chaos and separation.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhou Hui looked up from the tablet computer and saw Chu He staring at the child who was being led by his parents in the distance, carrying a schoolbag and laughing and shouting, without moving.

"Nothing..." Chu He sighed almost silently, turning over the book in his hand.

Zhou Hui held his hand and rubbed his thumb on the back of his hand. After a while, he suddenly said: "The little girl of Yu Fu's family is two years old this year, she is very gentle and quiet, and never causes trouble..."

"Does the child you can bear must be quiet and not cause trouble?" Chu He couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Forget it, now I've lost half of my life, let's talk about it later."

He put away the book and lost any interest, so he went to the pool and squatted down to watch the sparkling blue water in the setting sun and the white, round pebbles laid on the steps.

A puppy shook his head and ran to him. Chu He looked at no one else was walking the dog, and wondered where did it come out quietly? He straightened out the long golden brown hair of the puppy, and it rubbed Chu He's fingers with its warm and wet nose, making him laugh unconsciously.

Zhou Hui turned his head from the chair to look at them, his eyes fixed on Chu He's face, his eyes fascinated and stunned.

"Go back," Chu He said, standing up from the pool.

However, he was too anemic. He squatted for a long time and then stood up fiercely. He immediately became dizzy and swelled. He stepped back half a step subconsciously and stepped on the smooth cobblestone steps.

The next second, he slipped backwards and fell into the pool.

Wow!

Chu He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the sofa!

Zhou Hui couldn't dodge, and sat stiffly on the side of the sofa, holding his hand without saying a word.

Chu He panted slightly and looked around, only to see him sitting on the large sofa in his home, the living room did not turn on the light, the door outside the entrance was closed, and the sky outside the French windows was already dark.

The setting sun, the puppy, the pool... like an absurd dream, disappearing cleanly with the moment you open your eyes.

"...Illusory," Chu He muttered incredulously, looking at Zhou Hui: "That was an Illusory just now? You made it for me?"

Zhou Hui's face was cold and he didn't speak.

Chu He broke away from his hand, turned over, and went straight to the door. But then Zhou Hui turned around and held him down, despite his resistance, he dragged it back and pressed it heavily on the sofa: "Are you crazy? There is a ban on the door. If you want to be burned, go with one hand. !"

Zhou Hui has a sharp voice, pressing his hands like iron tongs without any relaxation. Chu He finally understood in an instant that the "going out for a walk" during this period was all an illusion created by Zhou Hui. He didn't have it at all, and had never stepped out of the house!

This absurd fact made him feel a chill in his heart instantly, crawling into his brain along the limbs, and even his voice is a little unstable: "What are you trying to do... Zhou Hui? You want to stay closed like this. Me?"

Zhou Hui didn't answer, Chu He shook his hand away, but then he was grabbed by the shoulder and pressed firmly on the back of the sofa!

"Let go, Zhou Hui! What do you want to do, it is crazy!"

"I know what I'm doing." Zhou Hui's tone was calm: "You can't walk out of this door without my permission."

"Do you want to shut me down forever?!"

"I can do this," Zhou Hui said.

Chu He looked at his face. The lights were not turned on in the living room. The street lights of the community outside the floor-to-ceiling windows passed through the treetops, through the glass, and reflected on his half-lined side face. The corners of his lips were not carved like a knife. radian.

He is serious.

Chu He stared at him, panting slightly, and after a long time he made a slightly stiff voice after forcibly suppressing: "Why...is it necessary?"

Zhou Hui looked at him deeply, showing an indescribable sneer for a long while:

"I said that I didn’t want to hear why you prevented me from killing King Ming Wang. I will check it myself..."

"—I found it out."

Chu He's gaze changed slightly, and Zhou Hui used his thumb to hold his chin, forcing him to look up and look at himself.

"Remember that during the turmoil in National Security, you singled out all the members of the fifth group in the hospital. All of them were taken away by you and turned into vegetative people? These people were later escorted back to a special place underground In the prison, no one died..."

"—I’m surprised. In such a fierce battle, it is more difficult to ensure that everyone is not seriously injured than to avoid injury. Why do you have to spend so much effort to do this? "

"So I asked Situ Jiansan to investigate. Although there was a delay because of his serious injury, last week, he finally investigated an even more shocking fact..."

Zhou Hui paused, staring directly at Chu He’s pupils:

"Situ told me that several people in the fifth group were seriously injured and dying during the battle against you, but you were immediately rescued by first aid—that is, you deliberately took care of them and saved them. All lives."

Chu He stared at him and said indifferently: "I am kind to the enemy and benevolent, you are not the first day you know."

"I did know it the first day," Zhou Hui laughed.

"I recalled your previous battle records. A long time ago, you had no scruples when you conquered demons. You should kill or kill. There was never any abnormality; but slowly, starting from hundreds of years ago, you suddenly became abnormal. He was soft-hearted, never sent anyone to **** again, and even suspected of deliberately releasing water several times."

"Your behavior is too unreasonable. Contacting you this time to prevent me from killing King Ming Wang, I couldn't help but have a seemingly absurd, but very realistic guess—"

Zhou Hui paused, leaning over the Chu River, his voice as soft as a demon:

"You did not enlighten the Dharma with enlightenment, but the King Ming who was awarded with combat merits. In other words, if your combat merits are further improved, you will be awarded again next-and the necessary conditions for obtaining , Is to pass the catastrophe."

"Now your practice book, the battle achievement item is full."

"Now you can't have any more lives in your hand, otherwise the cultivation will immediately reach the top, and the thunder tribulation will immediately smash down. You, who don’t even have a real body, will be smashed to death in the sky full of thunder tribulation..."

Chu He struggled fiercely, Zhou Hui immediately turned over and sat on his narrow waist, covering his mouth with a strong hand, and pressing him tightly under his body easily.

This action was full of repression and humiliation. Chu He's eyes were slightly moist due to poor breathing. Zhou Hui stared at him, and the nerves washed away by the anger spread an unspeakable excitement:

"So you go to Fanluo, because the devil can eliminate thunder and calamity in his heyday."

He leaned down, his hot breath almost sprayed on the corners of Chu He's red eyes, and he said every word: "But I'm just strange, why don't you come to me?"

"——You know that even if my body is broken, I will definitely keep you from hurting my hair, why not, come, find, me?!"

The last ray of light outside the floor-to-ceiling windows loomed under the horizon, and darkness was drawn in like a river, flooding the last trace of reason.

The power that Chu He burst out of nowhere, suddenly overturned Zhou Hui, got up and rushed out of the gate!

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Hui reached out and grabbed him, dragged him across the coffee table, overturned to the ground, and tore his jacket to pieces with a stab!

"—Zhou Hui!"

"I said, don't really push me to that share..." Zhou Hui's fingers are deep. In the messy hair on the back of Chu He's head, he leaned in his ear and whispered softly: "Otherwise, you will cry. I can’t cry."

He easily stripped off the last bit of concealment from the person under him, pressed that beautiful face on the cold floor, and watched his pale snowy skin be covered by the shackles of his temples, so embarrassed, let The cruel cruelty deep in his heart pierced into his brain like lightning from every nerve ending.

Free two thousand words in the middle, go to bulaoge to eat the eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighth, eighty, eighth, eighth, and eighth, eighth, and eighty-eighth;

"You obviously need me so..." Zhou Hui whispered, raising his head to kiss his sweaty temples and cheeks that were as white as water washed.

The irritability in his eyes gradually faded, and a condescending, forbearing warmth gradually emerged.

"You obviously love me so much..."

·

Chu He slept for one day and one night this time. He was unconscious and his consciousness was completely broken. He didn't even know that he had been fed the medicine several times in his sleep.

And Zhou Hui seemed to be calm again, as if the anger and jealousy that swept through all that day had disappeared without a trace—or, once again, being deeply pressed into the seemingly indifferent appearance.

He even had a leisurely mind, holding him on the balcony for a while without knowing Chu He, watching the sunlight reflected on the ends of his long eyelashes, like golden dots. He slowly studied this person’s eyebrows and facial features, as if he wanted to find something that was not good enough, but no matter how he looked at it, he would remember his first sight in the 33rd heaven that year. It seemed that the years in the middle were all of a sudden. He slipped away, leaving no trace of time on that face.

Zhou Hui lowered his head and looked at his still strong hands.

——Maybe it will gradually weaken and disappear with the passage of time, it is only me.

On the third day, Chu He woke up from his sleep, Zhou Hui seemed to have a normal attitude, cooking, watering flowers, chatting with him, and resting his head on his thigh. When I watched TV, I didn't mention the lifting of the ban and the illusion.

His performance is really like planning to imprison Chu He to death for the rest of his life.

——However, this is destined to be impossible.

On the afternoon of the third day, Yu Jingzhong called Zhou Hui and told him straightforwardly on the phone: "I need you to come over immediately, stop playing that boring game, and bring Feng Si here too. ."

Zhou Hui turned over on the sofa, still resting his face on Chu He's lap, "What's the matter?"

"Here we are," Yu Jingzhong paused, and said, "Now there is an unprecedented situation."
