Chapter 63: Merit pen
Xiu Yao City is usually carried out on a regional basis, just like the bazaars in rural areas in the old days, usually once a year, there are lively and deserted.
The roads of Yonglong City lead in all directions, and the crowds of people rush to the streets every day because of traffic jams. The crowd is bustling, but the local monster market is basically the smallest in the surrounding area.
Although there are mixed fish and dragons in big cities, there is a saying that "big hidden in the city", but it is actually not suitable for spiritual practice. Unless it is related to the earth, or the cause and effect are reported from a long distance, the general demon will not choose in the future. Settle in such a place.
Zhao Yunlan's special investigation office settled down in Longcheng. Countless monsters have already served him as informants. Many brothers and brothers have been there, but he has never been to the monster city. This is equivalent to someone else. The New Year's Eve of the Demon Clan, an outsider, it usually doesn't matter how to lie back and forth, but it is not right if this occasion is not fun, kicking your nose and cheering up for fun.
For the first time, he received the invitation to the night party of the demon.
云 Zhao Yunlan sat in a stable carriage, and a strange smile suddenly appeared in the corner of his mouth.
Wu Shenwei asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Yunlan pinched Shen Wei and dragged his hand all the time. He lowered his voice in the sound of his wheels and said, "I think the development of our relationship is quite traditional. First, we should understand each other's door, and then start with a small hand. Now In the process of strolling through the streets, I think that if you continue to develop like this, you will be "closed."
Xu Shenwei glanced outside the car door. He knew that the fox's ears were sharp, and he lowered his voice and said to Zhao Yunlan, "Go back to these words at night."
Zhao Yunlan: "Where to say it?".
Wu Shenwei: "..."
云 Zhao Yunlan frowned and said in the tone of the opera: "Good brother, I think you can't think of it anymore, you're about to come."
Shen Wei shook off his hand, and after a while, he saw Zhao Yunlan's hand fumbled in the air aimlessly, hesitated, and secretly held it again.
I do n’t know if the fox heard it. Anyway, its car ran very smoothly. After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped, the fox leading the way lifted the curtain, and the two people in the car got out of the car. There was a rough ensemble of piano and flute from far away, the tone was clear, but it was awkward to have a cheerful atmosphere, which sounded a little weird.
There were two welcoming guests standing at the door. They were horse-faced people, not far away, and a man with a snake tail stood there. This is also one of the customary rules of the demon city. The part outside the body is exposed for identification by lower generations to avoid unpleasant misunderstandings.
The snake-like man smiled at Zhao Yunlan and said, "The Lord has arrived."
In the cold weather, the snakes are driven by their nature, and when they are cold, they are unwilling to go out. Usually they do n’t come together to make this lively. Generally, they only send one or two people to show up in a hurry to represent the snakes.
蛇 The snake clan appeared at the door, apparently waiting for Zhao Yunlan.
云 Zhao Yunlan listened carefully and said politely, "My eyes are not very convenient today, I hope I heard correctly, is this the fourth uncle?"
The Viper man nodded and said, "It's hard for the Lord to remember, come in, I wish Zhu Hong say hello to me. If anything, just tell me."
Xun Shen Wei gave the lacquer box in his hand to the welcoming horseman and helped Zhao Yunlan walk inside.
Going in, it's like walking on a pedestrian street, about a hundred meters long, on both sides of the road with blue stone slabs, in the middle there is a slender river with a small stone bridge on it, and the bridge has been erected high The tables on the two sides of the Taiwan Straits are very lively and colorful, but they are mostly half-human and half-beast walking. Some demons have set up small stalls to sell to other people before the banquet.
The uncle Viper took the two men and walked straight in until he reached the bridge under the platform.
I saw a thin layer of snow on the icy stone bridge, but a thin flower vine was already entwined in the small stone pillars at the bridge's head, with sparse yellow goose flowers on it.
The uncle Viper stood still and said to the little flower, "Girl, the Spring Festival, brought the Lord, please come out and see."
As soon as his voice fell, the original single-flowered spring vine suddenly skyrocketed, and it was instantly entangled with the bridgehead, as if a layer of flower blanket was laid on the bridgehead, countless small and tender flowers and bones grew out and bloomed everywhere, and then a young girl came out of the flowervine. Rise, the upper body looks like a person, the lower body is still inseparable from the lush flower vines.
看上去 She looks fourteen or fifteen years old, combing her like a little girl, with long and slender eyes, slipping on Zhao Yunlan, then turning her head to look at Shen Wei.
I do n’t know why, Yingchun seemed to be a little scared of Shen Wei. His eyes only swept a little on him, and he took it back honestly, turned to Zhao Yunlan, and said with a smile: "Uncle Black Cat said that the Lord is a handsome man, you wear What do you do with such a big sunglasses? "
云 Zhao Yunlan took off the sunglasses and don't put it on the neckline: "The sympathy of the good blogger-the younger sister was so blind at the sight of this handsome brother, maybe he gave me more nectar."
Tong Yingchun laughed for a while, then looked closely at his eyes, frowned, and whispered to the fourth uncle Snake: "What happened to the Black Ravens? What are you doing to provoke mortals?"
Uncle Viper touched her head and lowered her eyes, but did not answer.
Tong Yingchun glanced around again: "This year's banquet, the Crows haven't come alone?"
"It's not just us, the night feasts in other places are the same," said the uncle Snake. "You don't have to care about these things, practice with your heart, and bloom your flowers in the spring."
Yingchun responded dullly, took out a small bottle, pulled Zhao Yunlan's hand, and placed it on his palm: "This is what the patriarch asked me to bring to the Lord, and he asked me to give you a word and said In the future, just tell him that we will leave you alone. "
云 Zhao Yunlan was stunned 愣 "I sent? No, no, noble chief is very polite ..."
His voice was suddenly interrupted, and the monkey on the bridge jumped to a little monkey sometime, knocking the causeway.
The demon people immediately calmed down, and there were a lot of stone tables and chairs on the side of the road. Yingchun said "Ouch", "It's going to be a banquet, I'm going to the stage, so my brother, I won't tell you, take care . "
Zhao Yunlan: "Wait ..."
Wu Yingchun has turned into a flower vine, quickly rolled over the entire stone bridge, wrapped each railing with flower vines, and the small platform on the stone bridge seemed instantly indescribable and festive.
Zhao Yunlan's hand stretched into his pocket hadn't had time to pull it out. He had a small cloth bag in his pocket. This thing was given to him by Daqing. It is said that it was the former soul-magic master-now it seems to be his previous life, or Treasures of previous lives-that is a small luminous cup with a few moonlight flowers carved on it, indescribably exquisite and lovely. It is said that the moonlight can be stored in the cup. For the flower demon, it is a cultivated treasure.
Zhao Yunlan's original intention was to exchange this thing for Qianhua honey of the flower demon. Who knows that people not only gave it in vain, but also gave it the same as the confession.
The attitude of the flower demon family makes the intention of the black crows who have not appeared to attack him even more meaningful. Zhao Yunlan thought in this way and turned to greet Shen Wei to leave. Who knew that when he turned around, he encountered a stone table. A corner.
Shen Wei leaned on his waist, leaned sideways, and blocked many unknown goblins who had been sneaking at him. He turned to Uncle Snake and said, "The night party of the demon tribe, our two outsiders will finish the work. We should go back early. Don't Excuse me more? "
Uncle Snake glanced at his possessive movements and said without hesitation: "Since they have already tabled the two of them, they are still our distinguished guests. They always have to drink a glass of wine to keep them warm. Let's go? "
Shen Wei frowned.
Uncle Viper said: "Next year is my family's birthday, and this year's dinner is hosted by me, forgive me for a moment."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Wei's refusal, he dragged the long snake tail and the long sleeves on the ground, slowly ascended the high platform on the bridge, and the sound started to rise again. This time, it was no longer a weird ensemble, but played. A song of sacrifice circulated in antiquity was started.
A clear female voice sang in the distance, "All things are born, and they start with bad."
All the monsters are indifferent, the uncle Snake converges and stands still, and opens his mouth lowly: "Go to the old and start the new, Nianguan group demon worship the three saints, worship the barren mountain god, worship the ancestors of the Lei tribe"
All the demon tribe stood up and worshiped silently facing northwest.
The female voice continued to drag a long voice to sing: "There is a mismatch between the mountains and the mountains, and the top of the cloud, I think Tianzhu. The son of Zhu Rong, the emperor of water, attracts the dragon to touch it, and the star moves ..."
Zhao Yunlan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and lowered his head and asked Shen Wei, "Who is this singing? It sounds like water and work together."
Shen Wei still frowned, and his face became more and more gloomy. When he heard him ask, he only nodded, and said with regret, "Well, it is him."
云 Zhao Yunlan asked again, "Are you saying that the co-worker knocked down Zhoushan?"
Wu Shenwei replied extremely briefly again.
Zhao Yunlan: "But isn't Gonggong a water god? What is the great barren mountain they say? Doesn't Zhoushan also have a mountain god?"
This time, Shen Wei was silent for a moment, and then said vaguely: "... maybe there? I wasn't very clear about the situation at that time."
云 Zhao Yunlan didn't know what he heard from his tone. He stopped speaking now, just clasped his palms with his fingers, and beat the other party's song with a beat.
The chanting words of the Xun Yao clan were long and procrastinating, and Xuan said that the Xun and the co-workers were struggling. Later, the co-workers were furious and destroyed the public property, and overturned the story of the bad Zhoushan.
It is said that because the co-workers collided without public morality, the order of the sun rising and falling in the world, and so on. It sounds like this story has a great connection with the origin of the demon, but what is the connection, but the lyrics are again Did not make it clear.
Many historical records are incomplete, and can only be extrapolated from among the words. Not to mention the unreliable things in ancient myths. Zhao Yunlan knew that he should not ask a few old words. But he couldn't help it, as if there was a voice in his heart telling him that what seemed to be irrelevant was of great significance.
I haven't heard that the ancient gods also worked part-time across industries. Since the co-worker is already a water god, it is naturally impossible for the demon worship to be the "Great Barren Mountain God" behind the Three Saints.
Which mountain village cadres can be so ancient?
Zhao Yunlan fingertips, suddenly remembered the two words of the crow family, two words emerged in his heart-Kunlun.
How long did it take for the demon clan to worship and settle down, the beautiful banshee shuttled among the crowd, brought tea, water, wine and food, and the demon night party officially began.
She Shen Wei rejected the drink on the grounds of driving and watched Zhao Yunlan drink a glass. Then she urged again, "Should we say goodbye?"
云 Zhao Yunlan nodded, just about to stand up.
Suddenly there was a noise in the audience.
云 Zhao Yunlan asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Wei glanced up at the high platform: "The snake pushed a half-monster onto the platform. The half-monster's demon was exposed, the dark air was dazzling, and his blood was on his body. He probably did a lot of things, probably to avoid him Being condemned by the heavens has affected others, and the demons have to start with him, they have an old tradition. "
If Guo Great Wall is here, he will find that this person is the man who was almost knocked down by him that day.
云 Zhao Yunlan heard an ear and knew that it was someone else ’s housework, so he lost his interest. In the guilty sounds of the uncle Snake, he gave his arm to Shen Wei and asked him to help him go out.
他们 When they were about to go out, the uncle Snake finished reading and announced: "The Crow Half Demon, don't think about the right path, hurt people many times, it ’s against the law, I ca n’t wait, I want to clean the portal, and go for the sky ..."
字 The word "crow" makes Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei's footsteps pause at the same time.
At the same time, a voice at the door suddenly interrupted Uncle Snake: "Slow!"
声音 That voice was not hoarse, with an ominous indescribability.
As soon as Shen Wei raised his hand and pulled Zhao Yunlan behind him, his eyes were so cold that he could drop out of the moraine. I saw a row of people in black robes standing in a row at the gate of the monster city, all of them carrying doubles. Wings, black feathers.
I am a crow.
