Day and night tour

Chapter 91: A Dream in the Garden
Nine inches and two, nine inches and five...one foot!
The first stick of incense in Zhou Xuan's divine secret realm burned at a speed visible to the naked eye as all the Buddha's power in the tumor was poured into it, and the table was covered with scattered incense ashes.

The last inch of incense was burned out, and the incense greedily burned the wooden incense root as well, until it became a lonely flame that rose up and hung one foot above the incense burner.

Zhou Xuan's figure in the secret realm completely overlapped with the paper boatman, but at the next moment, the two separated again.

For the first time, Zhou Xuan had freedom in the Shenqi Secret Realm. He could walk freely on the ship and stand on the deck to look at the sky.

There was a layer of fog in the sky, so thick that I could not see either the stars or the moonlight.

But the strange thing was that when Zhou Xuan looked down at the endless black water around him, he saw the reflections of the bright moon and stars in the water.

The bright moon in the dark water was like a silver cave with a diameter of hundreds of meters. When the boat sailed above it, it seemed extremely small. Zhou Xuan was surrounded by silver light, which made him dizzy. He had the illusion that he was surrounded by mystery and holiness.

The illusion didn't last long.
color,
Begin to emerge,
At first, a bright streak of blood appeared in the center of the bright moon.

The blood color grew very fast. The boat had only sailed a dozen meters in the water when most of the bright moon had turned red.
The boat sailed another four or five meters.

The bright silver moon was completely washed by the blood and turned into a scarlet moon. The mystery and holiness were replaced by weirdness and suffocation.

The pitch-black water surface seemed to hate the crimson moon. It rolled up hundreds of huge waves and smashed heavily towards the crimson moon.

Feiyue was not willing to be outdone. A well slowly rose in its center. The mouth of the well was covered in blood, and every stone in the well was covered with faces.

"Blood well!"

Zhou Xuan realized something—the two secret realms in his body, Divine Revelation and Blood Well, collided with each other.

The blood well kept growing wildly underwater, growing to dozens of feet high. The blood at the well mouth flowed like a mountain torrent, dyeing all the faces of the people on the stone walls of the well red.

The human face began to laugh, a mad laugh, a crazy laugh, a crazy laugh. The laughter resounded throughout the secret realm, shattering the black water waves that rolled in one by one. The blood well was like a blood tower standing among countless wave crests, unmoved.

The black water also changed, transforming the tidal wave into a horizontal wave. Waves of horizontal waves rushed towards the blood well at an extreme speed along the water surface.
Every time it hit the well, in addition to creating a huge amount of water mist, it also created tiny cracks on the well wall...

The collision between the Blood Well and the Divine Revelation became more and more fierce and violent. Zhou Xuan's ship was not at peace in such a fierce situation.

The boat was shaking violently, as if it would capsize at any time. He and the paper-figure boatman could be swallowed up by the endless black water at any time.

at last,

The lonely incense sticks could not be restrained and floated towards the boatman's belly.

The paper boatman was set on fire. First, a spark appeared in his abdomen, then his body caught fire, and finally his limbs, and even the oar in his hand began to burn.

The blood tower was all around, the waves were surging, the paper boatman knelt on one knee at the bow, leaning on the flaming boat pole with his right hand, and shouted to Zhou Xuan: "Master, the promotion... ceremony... begins, live towards death!"

The cry of "living towards death" is inspiring but also a bit sad.

Zhou Xuan woke up from his sleep.

He sat up from the bed, feeling a tightness in his chest and his breathing became rapid. Looking at the things around him, he felt dizzy.

Then he felt his body lose its restraints and weight.

“The feeling of being on the verge of death.”

Zhou Xuan knew that death was approaching, so he hurriedly grabbed the pen on the table and wrote directly on the cover of the notebook without even opening it: "Sister, Master, Goodbye."

Before he finished writing the last stroke of the word "见", Zhou Xuan lost control of his body, his hand suddenly froze, and the pen slipped from his hand and rolled onto the table.

"That feeling again."

Zhou Xuan recalled his first death—his soul was out of control, and as if it had been summoned by some kind of will, it headed for Muhun City.

This time, he again received the call of the will, but this time his soul did not leave his body. He was summoned from both body and soul.

He had no idea where his will was calling him to go, but he had a general idea of ​​the direction in which he was going.

He numbly and mechanically got up, put on his clothes, picked up his folding fan and wake-up stick, accepted the call of will, and went out.

Although Zhou Xuan's body was gradually losing control at this time, his perception was dramatically enhanced.

His ears could hear the friction sound of earthworms crawling through the soil in the corner of the outer courtyard of Zhou's class;

You can hear the sound of small fish nibbling on water plants in the fish pond in the inner courtyard.

The eyes can see many things that are not normally visible...

……

Zhou Xuan walked out of the house and walked numbly. He passed by Zhou Lingyi's house first.

He stopped forcibly and wanted to say goodbye to his sister, but he found that his body was out of control and he couldn't open his mouth. He could only say silently in his heart: "Sister, goodbye."

But at this moment, Zhou Xuan saw a scene that he could not see under normal circumstances, the memory scene of his sister.

[Inside the Luoying Hall of Zhou Family,

Zhou Xuan pointed at Zhou Lingyi and cursed: "My father is the owner of the Zhou family troupe, and I am the young owner. So what if you came back from Mingjiang Mansion? Do you have the right to speak in the Zhou family?" "Zhou Lingyi, you'd better listen to Second Mother and go back to Mingjiang Mansion now. Whether the Zhou family troupe lives or dies is none of your business!" Second Mother poked Zhou Lingyi's nose in a domineering manner and said sarcastically.

"Lingyi, you have to have faith in your father. The Zhou family's business is only bad temporarily, and it will get better in the future."

"Shut up, you three! I am officially informing you now that I, Zhou Lingyi, have taken over the Zhou Clan!"

Zhou Lingyi had a determined look on her face. She let out the red string in her left hand, and clamped her father and stepmother's necks, hanging them in the air. Then, she let out another red string with her right hand, and whipped Zhou Xuan's back, leaving bloody wounds!
"Brother, if you don't care, I'll take care of it!"

"I, Zhou Lingyi, will have the final say on all matters big or small in the Zhou Clan from now on!"]

Zhou Xuan saw the scene of his sister taking over the Zhou family class two years ago. He felt sad for his sister, but at the same time he thought his sister was very cool.

At the same time, he understood that since he could not see the other memories and could only see this one, it meant that this memory should be the deepest secret in his sister's heart, the memory that she was most reluctant to tell others!
"Sister, goodbye. Don't work too hard in the future. If anyone disobeys you, just beat him up."

After Zhou Xuan silently blessed again, he set off along the route determined by his will.

Not far from my sister’s house is Yu Zhengyuan’s home.

The eldest brother has not gone to bed yet and is chatting privately with Xu Li.

But the couple's whispers sounded no different from loud shouting to Zhou Xuan, whose perception was at its peak at this moment.

"Xiao Li, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. After Xuan Zi won the favor of Lady Lianhua, I received calls all night. The Zhou family will have a prosperous life in the future."

"We have to thank the current Xuan Zi. If it was the previous Zhou Xuan, the Zhou family would have been defeated by him long ago. You, Old Yu, are also stupid. In those years, the other brothers quit and you were the only one working for him!"

"Don't mention what happened in the past. Better days are coming."

Xu Li also said: "Yes, it is the best days, it is the good days that Xuan Zi brought us. Speaking of which, Old Yu, you are really sharp-eyed. Xuan Zi's soul has just been summoned back, how do you know that he is not the previous Zhou Xuan?
It's fine if you know he's not, but you only met him once or twice, how do you know he's a good junior brother and not a bad guy like Zhou Xuan before?"

"Heh, Xuan Zi's soul has just been summoned back, and his body is very weak, but at the old boss's funeral, he helped write funeral invitations and greeted guests. When there were not many people around, he silently thanked the old boss. Could the former Zhou Xuan have such loyalty? Can anyone with such loyalty be a bad person?"

When Zhou Xuan heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face.

In the first few days after he came to the Zhou family, only the eldest brother and his wife were nice to him, and he thought that they were kind to others.

It turns out there is a reason.

"Big Brother, it turns out you've always known that I'm a fake Zhou Xuan."

Yu Zhengyuan in the room said to Xu Li very proudly at this time: "After doing business for so many years, I have learned to judge people. Xuanzi is a very good junior brother. He is unique in doing things and being a person. If he had my sense of humor, I am afraid he would be a perfect person."

"Hahaha." Zhou Xuan was amused by his senior brother through the window, but his body was out of control and he couldn't laugh out loud.

My dear brother, I am ashamed of myself when it comes to humor.

As Zhou Xuan walked to the window of Yu Zhengyuan's room, his perception allowed him to see the secret scenes in the eldest brother's heart.

[At Yu Zhengyuan’s home.]

Yu Zhengyuan was lying on the bed, his shirt had been taken off, revealing his body. Most of his flesh had rotted away, and the remaining parts were covered with white hair. His body seemed to have lost all its strength.

Xu Li sat aside and held a towel for Yu Zhengyuan to wash his wound.

Yuan Buyu said: "Xiao Yu, when you were still a child, it was the old boss who saved you from the hands of 'Food is Heaven', and since then you have been suffering from the disease.

This disease could be suppressed before, but you have worked too hard in the past two years. The disease has become serious. Eating raw meat is not so effective. You have to drink boy's blood. Drink it. It's a matter of saving lives. Don't put psychological pressure on it."

Yuan Buyu left the room, and Xu Li brought Yu Zhengyuan a bowl of blood.

Yu Zhengyuan took a sip and suddenly started crying, saying, "I drink human blood, what's the difference between me and a monster like Shi Wei Tian who harms people? I fucking despise myself."

After saying this, he slapped himself with his hand.
"Old Yu, Old Yu!" Xu Li felt distressed and hugged Yu Zhengyuan, crying,
"We don't drink other people's blood for free. We give them money. Those children's families are so poor that they can't even afford to eat. We buy some blood from them and give them more money. Your illness will be cured, and their family's difficulties will be over. This is the best of both worlds.

You are a kind person, and so am I. We don’t live by food alone… Please don’t make things difficult for yourself…”

"Give me money, give me more!" Yu Zhengyuan stared at the blood in the bowl in a daze. 】

Zhou Xuan recalled that he had seen Yu Zhengyuan in the bamboo forest, eating raw fish like a wild cat.

I also remembered that Yu Zhengyuan cared a lot about the disaster area and liked to donate money.

Although he had a high salary, his family lived a tight life and the clothes his sister-in-law wore were all outdated styles.

It turned out that it was all because of Yu Zhengyuan’s illness and his kindness.

"Big Brother, goodbye. The Zhou family's business will be better in the future. Please don't work so hard. I hope you get well soon."

"Food is my first priority. You White Walker from the Kidnapper's Hall, if I really have a new life after my death, and I have the 'fate' to see you again, I will definitely kill you!"

Zhou Xuan walked forward again.

A dozen meters ahead of Yu Zhengyuan's house is the home of third senior brother Li Shuangyi...
