This Damned Thirst for Survival

Hearing that, Jiang Luo was a little surprised. He looked up and down Xia Chi You, suddenly the end of his eyes was raised, and he smiled.

"You won't be..."

Halfway through this, but the black-haired youth deliberately swallowed it in his mouth, and stopped talking, Chi You calmly asked, "What?"

Jiang Luo smiled unclearly, he swept Chi You with a little teasing and playfulness, and turned around and said, "I don't need it anymore. After all, I don't need to meet the elders."

Chi You's expression remained unchanged, "Okay."

But when Yu Guang glanced at Jiang Luo's neck, he was slightly disappointed.

He didn't realize something, nor did he understand something. It was just instinct that drove him, making Chi You want to return such a numb and weird feeling, and a little red was printed on Jiang Luo's neck.

After all, it's indecent to come and not talk?

Jiang Luo was originally dull on this kind of thing. To say dull, it is better to say that he disdains to respond to those who have strange thoughts about him, so he never put other people's thoughts in his eyes. But after the time when Chi You aroused desire for him outside the mirror, he was extremely sensitive to Chi You's emotional changes.

Oh my god...

Chi You, when he was a teenager, didn't think that way about him, right?

Once he was born and twice cooked, Jiang Luo was unbelievably angry and disgusted for the first time, but now his mood has become very weird.

On the contrary, play has the upper hand, the faint pride and the pleasure of stepping on the desires of evil spirits on the soles of the feet dominate. Chi You all fell on Jiang Luo's body together.

Such a scheming person in charge of the Chi family, an unpredictable evil spirit, a hypocritical and indifferent personality, and the desire for dominance and suspicion often play others in the palm of his hand. He has countless followers, but he stumbles on Jiang Luo again and again.

This simply made Jiang Luo's mood soar, and he even felt like he was controlling evil spirits.

When he first walked into this world, Ji You still wanted to kill him, but now?

Ah.

Jiang Luo smiled constantly, and he glanced at Chi You behind him, squinting and sighing.

He is now eager to try to find an opportunity to verify his conjecture right away. If everything is true, after waiting for the world in the mirror, Jiang Luo has the capital to laugh at Chi You.

Jiang Luo will be happy if he brain repairs it. He maintained a very happy mood and returned to Chi's house all the way.

Under an old tree in the gate of the Chi family, two people were anxiously waiting for Jiang Luo to return.

Qin Yun walked around, her hands were tightly clasped together, and the bright red nail polish was buttoned down into a large irregular shape. Qin Yun's voice trembled, and his unconcealed fear was revealed in it, "Why hasn't Jiang Luo back yet? What should I do, it's getting dark soon..."

Waiting with her was Lian Xue, Lian Xue's white lips pressed tightly, and occasionally anxious eyes were cast toward the gate of the palace.

She was a little more calm than Qin Yun, and calmed down and said, "It's okay, they will definitely be back, probably soon."

Qin Yun stopped suddenly, she looked at the willow tree beside her, sweat was secreting from the top of her head, and she could see a dazed look when she looked closely, "Lian Xue, the joke is dead! How could he die? It’s so terrible to die! It’s over... The evil spirit must be looking at us. He knows that we are here to kill him, so he plans to attack him first. After the joke is dead, it will come to us, Du Ge, Li Xiao, And I...you are familiar with Jiang Luo, we are different, Jiang Luo is so powerful, we are just ordinary people, if Jiang Luo ignores us, some of us will definitely die tonight-Lian Xue, I I really don't want to die, I, I'm still so young..."

She was incoherent and panicked.

Lian Xue smiled bitterly, "Who wants to die?"

Qin Yun fell silent suddenly. She walked to Lian Xue and grabbed Lian Xue's hand, with expectations in her eyes, "Lian Xue, you are familiar with Jiang Luo, please beg him, let him protect us, okay? Let him kill the evil spirits and take us home, okay?"

Lian Xue frowned, she patted Lian Xue's hand, "Qin Yun, we can't put all hope on Senior Brother Jiang Luo."

She tried her best to use a tactful tone: "We are victims, and brothers are also victims. A total of eight of us have entered the mirror world. We can’t hide away for a few days and let the brother do everything alone. Now. Even if the capable person works harder, he cannot be allowed to bear the lives of all of us."

After finishing speaking, she sighed slightly and couldn't help saying: "It would be great if Zhong Qiu was there."

The Lian family is a family of witch doctors, and the art of witch doctors is the top priority. When it is their turn, the elders are afraid that they will be distracted, and they have not taught them anything other than witch doctors. According to the words of the elders, as long as the doctors are skilled enough, everyone will come to protect their lives. Lian Xue rarely went down the mountain. When these things hadn't happened, she felt that the elders were justified and didn't think there was any disadvantage. After all, even from the elders to the juniors, there are no desires or desires in the family. If you say that it is better to settle down with the situation, you don't care about gains and losses. But something will happen, and Lian Xue feels wrong.

If they are in danger, they only have medical skills. Although they can heal and save people, can they really save their lives?

Lian Xue remembered the Daoist Weihe, isn't Daoist Weihe also proficient in mysterious academic methods?

This contradicts what the elders said. After going out, she must ask Wei He Daochang this question.

They didn't wait long when there was noise coming from the gate. It is Jiang Luo and Chi You who are back.

Lian Xue and Qin Yun were overjoyed, but their identities were not suitable for stepping forward, so they held back where they were, waiting for Jiang Huang to look over to give hints.

As soon as Qin Yun put a smile on his face, he saw Young Master Chi who walked in with Jiang Luo. The smile on her face was stunned. Qin Yun grabbed Lian Xue's hand and did not dare to say: "Lian Xue, is that the owner of the wooden house?!"

Lian Xue looked at Chi You, and she shook her head calmly, "No, that's Chi You, the young master of the Chi family."

Qin Yun looked at Chi You inconceivably for a long while, "He, why is he so like the owner of the wooden house?"

Lianxue was speechless for a while, not knowing how to explain it.

Qin Yun turned around keenly and said, "You know?"

Lian Xue was silent.

Qin Yun let go of Lian Xue's hand, and looked back at Jiang Luo. The joy in her eyes has faded, replaced by vague doubts, "You know that the young master of the Chi family resembles the master's parents, you Haven't told us yet. Isn't it... the one who let us into this weird place is actually you?!"

Lian Xue snapped: "How is it possible!"

"Then why didn't you talk about it!" Qin Yun backed away again and again, and she collapsed and asked, "You might also know the host's house... I said it was so coincidental. We were rescued by a storm when we went up the mountain, and so were you. It happened to be rescued when I met Blizzard. The host’s parents are so handsome and more outstanding than the celebrities. How could I meet such a person by coincidence? He is the host outside the mirror, and he is also a young master in the mirror, who is still so young. There is clearly a secret hidden in it! What's more, Jiang Luo also has the ghosts and tricks that ordinary people can't use... How can we be hit by such a coincidence? It must be you, you and the wooden house. The masters connected to each other and prepared this one together, right!"

In the case of extreme fear, suspicion will be much higher than usual. Lian Xue could understand Qin Yun's fear, after all, they were isolated and helpless, just ordinary people who knew nothing. But if Qin Yun is allowed to guess in this way, the consequences will only be more serious.

She said: "Qin Yun, have you forgotten? It was the activity of looking in the mirror at midnight suggested by Duanzi."

Qin Yun was taken aback for a moment, she thought for a while, and it was indeed the order proposed by Duan. It was Jiang Luo and the host's family who accepted the order.

It's a joke...

She recovered from the excitement just now, and choked up her face and said, "I'm sorry, Lian Xue... I'm so scared, I'm sorry..."

Lian Xue breathed a sigh of relief and patted her on the back, "It's okay, we got together to discuss tonight, the joke is dead, but we are not dead. We have to calm down before we can go out."

Qin Yun nodded silently.

When Lian Xue looked back at the gate, Jiang Luo and Chi You had already left.

It seemed that I had to think of another way to contact Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo and Chi You returned to the room and ordered the maid to bring a dish of glutinous rice.

Glutinous rice can drive away evil spirits and detoxify corpses. The white glutinous rice grains were placed on the plate, and Chi You took off his upper body clothes, "Trouble Master Jiang."

Jiang Luo spread the glutinous rice flatly on his hand, wondering: "Master Chi, I don't know what to do."

Chi Youxi talked to him again, and Jiang Luo nodded with a frown. After Chi You sat down, although his expression was hesitant, his hand suddenly covered the wound on Chi You's neck with lightning speed. As soon as the glutinous rice touched the wound, there was a "sizzle" sound of burning flesh and white smoke from both sides of his palms. Chi You closed his eyes, as quiet as a statue.

If it weren't for the blue veins protruding from his neck, Jiang Luo would have thought he didn't feel anything.

"It's the first time I do this kind of thing, do you feel it hurts?" Jiang Luo asked.

Chi You smiled, "It's okay."

After a while, the white smoke gradually dissipated, and the intense burning of flesh and skin also slowly stopped. Jiang Luo released his hand, the glutinous rice grains in his palm that touched the wound turned black, and Chi You's wound was successfully plucked out of the corpse poison.

Chi You slowly put on his clothes and said, "Although it is the first time for Young Master Jiang to do this kind of thing, he has a neat and neat technique, which shows that he has talent."

Jiang Luo said politely: "Mudan Miyaan."

Chi You smiled, "Then Young Master Jiang, I will meet the elders first."

After Chi You left, Jiang Luo processed the glutinous rice grains, and then asked the maid to take away the dishes. When the maid took the dish, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Jiang Luo: "Master Jiang, do you know where he put the clothes last night? I wanted to wash it today, but I didn't find it."

clothes?

Jiang Luo thought for a while, "Aren't you in the house?"

The maid said: "We cannot enter the house without the permission of the young masters. In the past, the clothes that the young master took off were placed in the shower room, but today we did not see the clothes left by the young master in the shower room."

Jiang Luo said, "I'll look for it."

He looked around in the house and finally found a wooden barrel under the bed. When I opened it, the clothes Chi You wore yesterday was placed in it. Jiang Luo took out the clothes and took a look, and found a lot of mud spots and a few drops of blood under the clothes hem.

It was raining all night last night, Chi You was out for an accident, and it was normal for him to get muddy spots. But what is going on with this blood?

Jiang Luo thoughtfully touched the blood. After a while, he put the clothes back where they were, and said to the maid: "I didn't find it either."

When the maid was gone, Jiang Luo frowned slowly.

What did Chi You do last night?

"Brother..."

"Brother Jiang Luo..."

Jiang Luo was awakened by a faint voice from his thoughts. He looked up and saw a ball of paper rolled on his toes. After seeing that there was no one on the left or right, Jiang Luo bent over and picked it up. There are only three words: "Old place."

A quarter of an hour later, the rockery cave in the backyard.

When Jiang Luo came in, everyone had already arrived. Compared with yesterday, the atmosphere today is solemn. The death of the joke enveloped everyone like a shadow. Li Xiao buried his head, clenched his fists beside his legs, and couldn't see his expression clearly. Lian Bing's eyes were red and swollen, and he kept apologizing to Li Xiao, "I'm sorry, it's all me. If I could go out with him last night, he wouldn't die..."

Except for Lian Bing, everyone else was in no mood to speak. Seeing Jiang backward, Lian Qiang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Brother, you don't know if you go out today, he--"

"I already know," Jiang Luo said, "I suspect that Duan hasn't really died yet."

Everyone was taken aback, staring at him in a daze. Li Xiaoyu rushed to Jiang Luo, his bright red eyes with hope and fear, "Really?"

Lian Bing also raised his head from self-blame and guilt. He also looked at Jiang Luo with hope, but he couldn't believe it, and said in a low voice, "But brother, I saw them put the body of Duan into the car with my own eyes. Sent away."

Jiang Luo nodded incomparably, "The death of the world in the mirror does not mean the death of the body."

In fact, Jiang Luo was just speculating, not sure that the joke was really not dead.

But in this case, if you don't say anything, I'm afraid the situation will get worse.

Even if Jiang Luo knew that he might have deceived everyone, he did not waver at all. Because doing so is the best result for now.

When the stagnant air loosened, Li Xiao sobbed, Lian Xue handed the handkerchief to Li Xiao, and smiled: "Great, Li Xiao, the story is not dead."

Even Bing took a big breath, the guilt was removed, and he felt able to think again, "Then say that, let's not be afraid of death?"

Jiang Luo shook his head, "Even though the physical body will not die, but the mental state will be affected, we still have to do our best to ensure that we are not harmed... I already have some eyebrows about evil spirits. When I was in Yizhuang, I didn't just watch At the end of the story, I saw another beggar who was killed. From the body of the beggar, I saw pictures of evil spirits."

Several people refreshed, and Lian Xue asked, "Really, brother?"

Du Ge asked in a deep voice, "What does an evil spirit look like?"

Jiang Luo roughly described the appearance of the evil spirit.

"His face is covered by the black robe," Lian Qiang sighed, "In this case, we can't tell who is the evil spirit."

Even Bing sighed, turned around and took out what he had prepared. A small bowl of rooster blood and a stack of yellow symbols, "Brother, sorry, rooster blood is not easy to take, I can only find these."

Jiang Luo looked at the amount of rooster blood, "Enough to draw a few symbols."

There are always many processes for others to draw symbols. Jiang Luo didn't have that much trouble. He raised his mind and used his hand to write, contaminated with chicken blood, and he finished it on the Fulu in one go. Almost without interruption, Jiang Luo ran out of these chicken blood.

It's just that there is very little chicken blood, so I can barely get one for each person, no more.

Several people solemnly put the Fulu close up, and finally put back their thoughts after a day. Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Luo said, "I'll go back first. Don't leave the door after you go back. If someone calls for help outside the door, just sleep with your head covered, and don't care about anything. It's so evil here, almost a big yin. Earth, anything evil can happen, so be careful and then be careful."

When the others responded, Qin Yun said to Lian Xue and Li Xiao with a little fear: "Let's sleep together tonight."

Even Xue and Li Xiao nodded.

Du Ge walked to the entrance of the cave, turned his head when he heard the words, and said to Qin Yun: "Qin Yun, come here, I have something to say to you."

After Jiang Luo returned to the room, Chi You hadn't come back yet.

He waited patiently for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the candlelight flickered. I don't know how long it took before Chi You walked into the door slowly.

Under the candlelight, his complexion became paler, but the corners of his lips were provoked, and he looked like he was in a good mood.

There is only one pair of eyes, but it is as dark as an abyss, and a depressing storm is looming in it.

Jiang Luo asked tentatively, "You don't look comfortable."

Chi You smiled, "That's not true."

"Have your wounds been seen?" Jiang Luo pointed at Chi You's neck, "What did they say?"

"They told me to let me do these things less, otherwise it would be bad for my health," Chi You smiled deeper, "Thanks to them, I also understand a lot of things."

After speaking, he snorted and took his clothes off, and invited, "Shall we go to the bath together?"

Jiang Luo said, "Go."

The two walked to the shower room side by side, and Jiang Luo said, "A maid just came to look for the clothes you changed yesterday. I found it under your bed, but it was stained with blood."

"Oh, that," Chi You suddenly realized, "That, it's the blood that I accidentally bumped into during practice yesterday."

Jiang Luo: "Huh?"

"Rooster blood and black dog blood," Chi You smiled. "These things are used in cinnabar, which will have the effect of warding off evil spirits."

"So it's like this," Jiang Luoran nodded, "Why don't you leave it to the maid?"

Chi You suddenly laughed strangely and said: "Look at it now, it really looks like my wife."

Jiang Luo: "?"

Chi You said slowly: "You must break the casserole and ask the end for everything."

"..." Jiang Luo rolled his eyes secretly.

After the conversation, they also walked to the shower room. The two entered the bathroom one by one. Jiang Luo took out the symbol he wrote today and pasted it on the door, preparing to take off his clothes.

Chi You was doing the same thing next to him by the wall. He folded his clothes neatly on the table and chairs. The mist covered his figure, Chi You humming a tune, ghost patterns on his pale back were released from the place of the three moles, slowly crawling upward.

Climbing to Chi You's shoulder, the face of the young Qingjun also looked like a ghost and terrible.

Amidst the steaming water, a ghost image suddenly appeared, shrank in the corner and shivered. Chi You slowly said: "I asked you to go next door to scare him, why are you back again?"

The ghost is about to lie down on the ground, and it squats: "My lord, there is a powerful talisman on that door."

"Oh?" Chi You got a little interested, he looked at the ghost, "How powerful is it?"

The ghost swallowed, and her body shuddered even more violently, "If I rush in, I, I may be frightened..."

"Then go for it," Chi You smiled with a smile, "Let me see if it will let your soul fly away."

The ghost shook, "No, no, sir, please forgive me, please—"

Chi You slowly smoothed the last wrinkle on his clothes. The black mist on his body suddenly rose, and the head of a beast approached the ghost. The black mist opened a big mouth of the blood basin, and it could swallow the ghost with just one mouth. Belly, "Then you say, is it terrible to go through that door, or is it terrible to be swallowed by me?"

Chi You turned his face, and the darkness enveloped his eyebrows, the corners of his lips were raised, with a bit of deep pressure.

The ghost was silent for a moment, and said weakly, "Yes, my lord."

After the ghost disappeared, Chi You looked at the wall separating the two bathrooms. He slowly raised his hand and tapped his finger on the wall. A crack on the wall gradually appeared, and a fingertip-sized hole appeared on it.

"He is so strange," Chi You said to himself, "Fu Lu, where is Fu Lu from? He really is not an ordinary person."

Chi You murmured, "He also caused me to have some emotions I have never had before. If it was not for certain that my consciousness was not bewitched or manipulated by the other party, I would have thought that he had used some secret method to affect me."

"The Jiang family is ordinary, and his parents are ordinary. Before that, I had never heard of the Jiang family's young master having such a method," Chi You, "Let me see who you are."

The wall was easily penetrated by his fingers.

Chi You looked calmly through Dong's eyes, and saw Jiang Luo clutching the hem of his shirt, looking at the direction of the bathroom door. Chi You followed his gaze.

There was a talisman on the wooden door, which was a suppression talisman, but when the ghost hit the door, the talisman flashed a little golden light, and it was still firmly attached to the door.

Chi You was thoughtful, he raised his hand, and the black mist wrapped a cloud of black ash in front of him.

This is the last thing left by the ghost, and indeed, as it said, it was gone.

But even if its soul flew away, the talisman did not burn, and it could still be used.

Such a talisman, even the elders of the Chi family, might not be able to write them.

Chi You smiled, waved gently, and knelt down a row of trembling ghosts behind him, "My lord."

"You have followed me for a long time, and now it's time for you to work for me," Chi You said, "Go, bang that door and let me see how powerful that talisman is."

"……Yes."

After a full five ghosts flew away, they smashed through the door. Chi You looked at the talisman that was finally burning, and waved his hand thoughtfully, causing the other gray-faced ghosts to retreat.

He looked at Jiang Luo, which was very meaningful.

who are you.

Jiang Luo put down his clothes, walked over and closed the door, gently drew a talisman on the door with his middle finger. But after turning around, Jiang Luo felt a familiar prying sight.

Sticky, deep, goose bumps.

Jiang Luo silently cocked the corners of his mouth and took off his shirt quickly, his white back reflected in Chi You's eyes.

Chi You retracted his gaze, took a look in the bathtub, but did not hold back, and raised his head to look at the opposite side again. At this time, Jiang Luo's hands were already on his waistband.

Outside the mirror.

"There is a difference in the time flow between the world in the mirror and the world outside the mirror," Ge Wuchen respectfully said, "Master, the world in the mirror cannot carry your power. If you enter forcibly, the world in the mirror will be destroyed, but it will trap the donor Jiang and others. soul."

The window in the bedroom burst open suddenly, and the storm swept Shirayuki coldly and invaded.

Chi You sat on the sofa next to the bed. He leaned on the back of the sofa chair and looked at Ge Wuchen indifferently. After a while, instead, he smiled with interest, "Is this what you researched for two days?"

Ge Wuchen gritted his teeth and quickly finished the remaining few sentences in the overwhelming coercion, "But there are two ways. First, you manipulate a person in the world in the mirror as a puppet. Second, you will leave it alone for the time being. Separate a few strands of consciousness and temporarily attach yourself to the person in the world in the mirror. Without disturbing the people behind the scenes, try to find out how the world in the mirror can carry your sense of consciousness, and then do other cares."

Chi You tilted his head and looked at Jiang Luo, who was breathing smoothly on the bed. After a moment of lag, he muttered to himself: "It sounds like neither one is very satisfactory to me."

"Why do I have to go into the mirror world," he said, "boring, laborious, and meaningless."

But when he said this, he never left this villa in the past two days.

Ge Wuchen tentatively found a reason for him, and said: "You just want to know what the people behind the scenes want to do and take measures to deal with it."

Chi You suddenly realized, "Yes."

His eyes moved away from Jiang Luo, and the irritability that had been suppressed for two days was no longer concealed and poured out. He ordered: "Now, immediately. Using the second method, let me be in the nearest place to Jiang Luo. Human body."

"Yes," Ge Wuchen said cautiously, "but master, the first time you go in, the second method is just to test how much the world in the mirror can withstand you. The speed of entering the world in the mirror and coming out again will be very fast. Just to prevent everything. One, don’t shatter the world in the mirror, you'd better dive into the world in the mirror with the least amount of consciousness."

"I see, move faster," Chi You tapped his finger, he smiled loudly, and said in a long voice, "I can't help it anymore."
