The flowers of Gaoling have been picked

Shangyuan is the end of the year festival.

On this day, the common people, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, are all happy.Six streets, three cities, and all lanes and alleys were lit with lanterns and social fires.

Today, gods from all walks of life will come to Jiuchongtian to gather.

Su Wangli was tall and beautiful, and his clothes were made of fine moon-white silk, embroidered with lotus patterns with silver thread.Half of his hair was tied up, highlighting the handsome appearance of a handsome young man.

He was moving forward slowly, with his hands behind his waist, his mouth curled into a smile, his chin slightly raised, looking arrogant and indifferent, and when he saw other immortals, he nodded slightly, as if to say hello.

The immortals also nodded when they saw him, but they were more distracted by the man behind Su Wangli.

Jing Zhan was wearing a dark blue silk robe, and the robe wrapped his long body and stood upright. When he walked, his legs became more and more elongated, his crown was straight, his eyes were slender, and there was a bit of coldness between his thick and sparse eyebrows.It looks like a man, but it's hard to hide the youthful air.

"I heard that Immortal Yaohua took in an apprentice, but I never thought it would look like this."

"I refused to bring it out this year. I thought it was ugly, but I didn't expect it to be such a handsome young man."

"Yaohua has really good eyesight, and the apprentices he chooses are also very handsome."

"Yes, it is said that Immortal Yaohua looks light and beautiful, and no one can match him in the world. Now he has accepted another handsome apprentice. It seems that Penglai Mountain is really picturesque."

For a while, the immortals talked a lot.

Jing Zhan didn't react when he heard it. He suppressed the hostility in his eyes, and looked at Su Wangli who was still nodding his head in front of him.

Su Wangli naturally heard it, raised his head a little higher, and smiled a little deeper, but there was no smile in those peach eyes, even a bit mean and desolate.

How can a master not love his disciples to be praised.

Although this kid is talented and intelligent, he has a delicate mind.

However, Su Wangli still did not forget that in Xuelin, the moment he saw Jing Zhan, he really felt the existence of monsters.

And it's not an ordinary monster, but a vicious monster, like the one Su Wangli encountered ten thousand years ago.

Su Wangli turned around and glanced at Jing Zhan, who was a few steps away from him. Jing Zhan felt that Su Wangli was looking at him, so he grinned and walked forward a few steps, getting closer to Su Wangli, who was about to become an adult but still A boyish voice sounded in Su Wangli's ears, "Master," Jing Zhan said in a very low voice, which seemed to be lower than the careful discussions around him, "I didn't embarrass you."

Jing Zhan raised his eyebrows and smiled, complacent.

Su Wangli only felt that the small thoughts in his heart were exposed in front of Jing Zhan, and he couldn't help but turned around and waved his sleeves to move forward, away from him.

Before he could take a step, he bumped into the person in front of him.

Hearing "Ouch", the man stepped back several steps.

The ouch sound was not loud, at least it was not a shout, but it was not small, and the gods talking and laughing around were all attracted to it.

The man supported his waist, straightened up slowly, frowned, ouched a few times, and turned his eyes to look at the surrounding gods, then slowly walked towards Su Wang, "I said Immortal Yaohua, this is your fault, I am standing well, but you bumped into me suddenly, and hit so hard, I didn't even have time to dodge."

These words seem to mean that Su Wangli deliberately bumped into him, he came over on purpose when he was chatting and laughing with others.

Su Wangli didn't answer, his eyes circled around, looking at the immortals whispering in private.

In fact, the heaven and the human world are no different in some places. Ordinary people like to whisper and watch lively events, and the same is true for immortals.

The three of them were surrounded by everyone, and their headaches were caused by the murmurs all around them.

"He's been crazy all day and still thinks that Lord Yaohua bumped into him."

The voice was not loud, but it came from among the fairies, the soft and charming fairy voice, one could tell it was the little fairy who admired Su Wangli.

"Ha ha."

A not-so-big sneer interrupted the fairy's coquettish voice. Jing Zhan heard the prestige and looked over. A cold face met Jing Zhan's eyes. He was wearing a green armor, his hair was tied up into a ponytail, there was a little crescent blue pattern between his eyebrows, and his deep eyebrows were smudged with mockery. , unruly, defiant.

"Hehehe every day, it's really interesting." A man in red and feather satin next to the fairy scolded him coldly.Clear eyebrows, handsome expression, body like a flower, face like peach blossom, natural and unrestrained, jade-clean, with a bright eye.

"You have a flattering face! You don't look like a fairy!" The crescent moon between the brows scolded angrily.

"You are like a fairy, every day is like a fairy, you are so capable, why don't you go down to the earth to farm the land." Zhu Yixian said lazily.

The two of them faced each other instantly, sparks and torrents collided violently around them.

All the gods around stared with big eyes, no one dared to speak, and looked like they were watching the excitement.

"Xuanwu, Moshan, why are you two arguing here? Don't know the occasion?" The fairy who was bumped by Su Wangli supported his waist and waved his fan, his words were full of sarcasm.

"Never mind your business!" Xuanwu Shenjun suddenly turned his head and glared at the fan shaker, flicking his ponytail three times.

"What's bothering you?" Immortal Meishan turned around and glared at the man, Zhu Jinyi fluttering like floating clouds.

Both of them yelled at the man coldly at the same time, and the man was so excited that he couldn't answer, so he turned his eyes to look at Su Wangli again.

It is not yet time, and the Emperor of Heaven has not yet arrived at the palace.The banquet hadn't even started yet, so the excitement was naturally the fun of these gods before the banquet.

Su Wangli was still frowning and looking at the fairy who was a few steps away from him. With one hand on his waist and the other holding an ivory folding fan, he was fanning leisurely at the moment, looking up at him with raised eyebrows, as if waiting for his next words.

This man was wearing a lavender robe and his hair was tied up with an ivory jade hairpin. This young man seemed to be in his early twenties, his pupils were lively, his thin lips were raised, and his smile was not a smile.

That smile was a bit of the frivolity of a romantic boy.

Su Wangli thought about it over and over in his heart, wondering where he had offended this seemingly young god.

Obviously not sensitive to people's appearance, but still racking their brains and thinking desperately.

"This is Immortal Qiande, named Chonglan, the only younger brother of the Emperor of Heaven." A deep and magnetic voice rang in Su Wangli's ears. He turned his head to look over, and Jing Zhan who was behind him didn't know When did she stand beside him, looking down at him.

Jing Zhan has stayed in Penglai Mountain for more than a year, and he has long been familiar with Su Wangli's behavior style. Su Wangli seems to have insight into everything, but he is only limited to eliminating demons and subduing demons. Daily management is a mess. Mr. Jing Zhan I want to follow his ass and clean up for him.

Moreover, his master is too insensitive to appearance. It took Su Wangli half a month to fully remember the appearance of his apprentice alone. That's because he pestered Su Wangli from morning till night. If it is done, it is more difficult for Su Wangli to remember other people than to let him put down his face.

However, he is an apprentice, living under the fence, eating people with a short mouth.

Naturally, he became an important person who reminded Su Wangli who the person in front of him was.

The sound was not loud, and no one responded. It seemed that Su Wangli was the only one around who could hear it.

Only then did Su Wangli have a vague impression, it seemed that when he was ascending, the lightning struck down Immortal Qiande who was crossing the catastrophe, making Immortal Qiande who was supposed to become the Supreme God lost his chance in vain, and had to wait tens of millions more Years can experience calamity and soar.

The gods and stars are all immortals, only Chonglan failed to ascend, but because of his reputation as the younger brother of the emperor, he was also included in the four gods and stars. , with believers everywhere, he became even more defiant, and because of his keen talent, Moshan directly ascended from a mortal to an immortal. Xuanwu didn't like him, Moshan didn't like him, and Yaohua was even more arrogant It is well known that these four people don't want to see each other after entering the God Venerable Star through the back door.

This Immortal Qiande seems to be insane all day long and doesn't care about world affairs, but in fact he holds grudges very much.

"Cough," Su Wangli coughed, took a few steps closer to Chonglan, bowed slightly towards him, and bowed with both hands, his voice was soft and ethereal like thin smoke in the gauze, "Xiaoxian was flustered for a moment and bumped into him by mistake." Immortal Qiande, Xiaoxian will apologize to you."

"..."

"No promises!"

"Ha ha......"

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the stars all laughed coldly.

Su Wangli was originally cold-tempered, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he confessed his mistake first if there was no need to make a big trouble.

The immortals didn't seem to have expected that the Yaohua Immortal would be so weak and cowardly that he would be oppressed at will, even the crazy Immortal could ride on him.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and laughter came from the crowd again.

Chong Lan also didn't expect Su Wangli to come out like this.

In the past, when he made troubles, this person always ignored the past and branded an image of being lonely, arrogant and defiant in the hearts of the immortals. Who would have thought that if he took the initiative to admit his mistake today, if he insisted on this matter, the immortals would feel that he was aggressive .

But now, besides being mean-spirited, this Immortal Yaohua is also a timid and fearful person.

The smile in Chong Lan's heart kept widening.

that's enough.

Chong Lan slowly took off the hand supporting her waist, and the ivory folding fan in one hand was still fanning slightly.

"Immortal Yaohua, that's too serious. We're already at the same level of immortality. Regardless of whether you're a fairy or not, aren't you ruining my immortality?" Chong Lan stepped closer to Su Wangli, smiling Put away the folding fan, put both hands under Su Wangli's bowing hands, and help him up.

Jing Zhan watched Chong Lan's series of movements, raised his eyebrows lightly, and looked at the scene like all the immortals around him. This scene was very pleasing to Jing Zhan.

What a Zhesha Xianji.

At this time, all the immortals who formed a group dispersed, this scene was no longer interesting, but the next scene followed.

Seeing a streak of golden light, the immortals had to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, the Emperor of Heaven was sitting on the front seat of the palace hall, and the Queen of Heaven was on the side.

The Heavenly Emperor and the Empress slowly stood up.

Only then did Jing Zhan see clearly the appearance of the so-called Nine Heavens Emperor.

He is tall and slender, wearing a nine-chapter robe and a crown of twelve rows of beads.About fifty years old, with a bold nose, sword eyebrows and star eyes, a pair of eyes are as sharp as eagles.Although he didn't speak, just standing still gave him a mountain of pressure.

And the Queen of Heaven has a dignified demeanor, wearing a golden phoenix court dress, full of the attitude of a mother in the world.

"Today is the Shangyuan Festival. All the immortals are willing to come to this banquet. I am very happy. I will prepare the peach fairy wine today. Please take your seats."

The thick voice resounded like a bell resounding through the palace.

Waiting for all the immortals to take their seats, there will be a performance of songs and dances that are often performed at banquets by the children of rich families in the world.It is a great pleasure for all the immortals to taste wine and appreciate the immortal'e.

Jing Zhan sat down with Su Wangli, poured the Peach Immortal Wine into the dragon-patterned silver cup in front of Su Wangli, and poured himself another cup.

Following Su Wangli's example, he picked up the wine bottle, shook it, and took a sip, feeling that the wine was unbearably bitter and tasteless.

"Master, have you ever tasted lotus seed wine?" Jing Zhan remembered the inch lotus in front of the Hehuan Pavilion again, put down the wine bottle, and asked Su Wangli in a low voice.

Su Wangli was stunned for two seconds, then shook his head, "No."

Jing Zhan raised his eyebrows, and some guesses arose in his heart for no reason.

"Then have you ever tasted Nurhong, a famous brew in the world?"

"Never."

"Green plum and almond wine?"

"What is it?"

Jing Zhan suddenly laughed, "Didn't you just taste this Peach Immortal Wine?"

Su Wangli didn't know why this person asked such a question, so he could only nod seriously.

"This wine is bitter and unpalatable, I really can't swallow it." Jing Zhan looked down at the wine bottle, and shook his head at Su Wangli full of grievances.

"This Peach Immortal Wine is made from the best flat peaches in the Peach Garden and brewed for a hundred days. One cup can greatly increase your internal energy, but it is an excellent product for cultivation." Su Wangli glanced at Jing Zhan, as if he was not impressed by Jing Zhan's hypocrisy Frightened by the grievance, imitating Jing Zhan and raising his eyebrows, he picked up the wine bottle and took another sip.

When Jing Zhan heard that this was an excellent product for cultivation, he no longer pretended to be wronged.

"If you don't drink it, you can't waste this good wine." Su Wangli made a gesture to take the wine bottle in front of Jing Zhan.

But as soon as his fingers touched the wine glass, he was gently held by a big hand with thin calluses. The movement was very light, but the warm touch spread to the back of Su Wangli's cold hand.

Su Wangli felt the backs of his hands gradually warming up, as did his face and body.

Su Wangli looked up at Jing Zhan, Jing Zhan was looking at Su Wangli with a smile, only to see his thin lips parted slightly, "Since it's a good wine, why not drink it?"

The strength of the hand holding Su Wangli increased a little, and the calloused fingertips gently rubbed the back of Su Wangli's smooth, white hand, "Master loves disciple, how could disciple not understand."

Su Wangli took a barely audible breath, and withdrew his hand lightly and quickly.He didn't answer, just drank the wine in the glass in front of him.

Jing Zhan smiled, imitating Su Wangli and drank it all in one gulp.

Just when Su Wangli was about to pour another glass, the hand holding the jug's handle stopped slightly, his slender fingers clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white.

The prayers of believers echoed in Su Wangli's ears.

He raised his eyes and sent a sound transmission to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven looked at him, and the two looked at each other.

"Many believers in Heishui Town in the southwest have prayed recently, and Yaohua is leaving now." The voice was transmitted to the Emperor of Heaven, and only two people in the bustling palace hall could hear the voice.

The Heavenly Emperor lightly waved his hand, yes, Su Wangli nodded slightly to the Heavenly Emperor, meaning to leave.

Jing Zhan looked at the two in silence, and immediately understood what it meant.

Su Wangli took Jing Zhan and disappeared in the palace of the Nine Heavens, where singing and dancing made peace. The immortals didn't know it, and they still tasted wine and watched Xian'e.

Shaoxian Mountain Heishui Town

At this time, it is the time of the Shangyuan Festival.It is different from the excitement of Jiuchongtian.Most of the lantern-watchers and guessers on the street dispersed, and the vendors and stall owners also closed their doors for a rest.

"Ah—" A miserable hoarse cry came from the alley next to Suzaku Street.

The sound was only for a moment, but it was heart-piercing.

Wang Sheng, who hadn't closed his stall yet, trotted over following the screams. The alley was very dark, and he couldn't see anything when he looked in from the alley with the lights on.

The surroundings were quiet, and Wang Sheng could only hear the sound of human flesh being torn from the bones, and the skin was torn apart due to the forceful bite.

It's not just the sound of tearing flesh, but more of the sound of water-like mucus dripping to the ground, and the sound of swallowing and chewing.

With trembling hands and legs, Wang Sheng took out the thick wooden stick pinned behind him just now, lit the oil lamp he carried with him, and walked two steps forward.

He stopped, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he could no longer lift them up. Then he felt that his pants and crotch were half wet, and he was so frightened that he lost control.

He smelled the stench of rotten meat, which came from the dark alley, forcing Wang Sheng's stomach to churn, and he just wanted to vomit. After eating, he could only vomit out a puddle of sour water.

He moved the oil lamp a few minutes closer to the alley, and then he heard the chewing sound disappeared, and the ticking of the water disappeared.The alley was silent.

If it wasn't for the sour smell of rotting meat, Wang Sheng felt that he might have lost his mind.

He moved the oil lamp a little closer, trying to see everything in the alley clearly.

After that, there were bursts of crying babies in the alley, slowly, calmly, slowly.

Wang Sheng swallowed his saliva, bravely moved a few steps into the alley trembling.

Suddenly a human face appeared in front of Wang Sheng, meeting his eyes.

The man's face was extremely long, his eyes were extremely large, and the two bloodshot eyeballs protruded outward.Scarlet blood was all over the cheeks and mouth, Wang Sheng was very close to the face, less than an inch between them.

Wang Sheng could clearly smell the strong smell of rotten flesh on this man's face. The man's mouth was open and he was crying a baby.

The oil lamp was so dim that it could only illuminate this face, and nothing else could be seen clearly.

But Wang Sheng could clearly see that face looking at him greedily, with its big mouth open, revealing its blood-stained fangs, with unswallowed meat stuffed between those teeth.

"Ah—ah—" There was another hoarse cry.

There was no one on the street anymore, and the peace and tranquility of the past was restored.

At this time, outside Heishui Town.

Su Wangli brought Jing Zhan to Shaoxian Mountain in a blink of an eye.Shaoxian Mountain is to the north of Daxian Mountain, separated by Dunxi Mountain.

In the mortal world, there are many such monsters haunting and harming the people, but there are a lot of big and small monsters, and small things will never be heard by the immortals and gods in the distant nine heavens, unless most believers pray day and night or It is because the monster is too rampant to disturb the world that it will be passed on to the sky.

Su Wangli and the head of the four stars, Maitreya has a lot of Buddhist and Taoist temples, and he cares about the common people, so he naturally pays attention to them.

Jing Zhan glanced at the outskirts of the barren mountains and the small town not far away that was shining with stars.

Although the surrounding area was dark and cold, there seemed to be the sound of wolves, tigers and leopards.But the small town of Wanhu is lit with lights, and it looks peaceful and leisurely.

There was a gust of cold wind, and the hem of the two people's clothes blew slightly.

"Oh, what a pity." Standing beside Su Wangli, Jing Zhan sighed slightly.

"If you want to see Xian'e, it's not too late to go back now." Su Wangli frowned and stared at the distant villages and towns, his words were as cold as the winter wind.

"Xian'e is not as good-looking as Master, why do you want to see it, it's just a pity that the glass of flat peach fairy wine." Jing Zhan smiled and looked sideways at Su Wangli.

Only then did Su Wangli look at him, with an obvious alienation in his dark and bright eyes.

He didn't speak, and walked towards Heishui Town.

Jing Zhan walked with him, beside him.

"After taking this monster and returning to Penglai Mountain, Master, I will brew lotus seed wine for you."

Jing Zhan didn't see that Su Wangli, who was walking in front of him, raised the corner of his mouth, and an unnoticed smile flashed in his eyes.

The two entered Suzaku Street, and there was no one on the street, only the waste paper pasted with lanterns all over the floor and the leftover snacks, and when the wind blew, it was everywhere, a mess everywhere.

"It seems that the people in this town were also scared out of their wits by the monster, and they have to go home early to hide during the wonderful Shangyuan Festival." Jing Zhan showed regret, and picked up the waste lantern that was blown to his feet by the wind, Unfold the crumpled rice paper and take a look.

"Blue out of blue?" Jing Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked at the riddle on the lamp, "Type a four-character word?"

"Master, this disciple is stupid, I don't know what it means?" Jing Zhan unfolded the riddle on the paper and handed it to Su Wangli, smiling innocently.

Su Wangli didn't reach out to take it, but looked at the enigma again with Jing Zhan's hand, then frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at Jing Zhan, his eyes were like bayonets that gouge out people's hearts, in review.

Jing Zhan is not afraid either, looking back at Su Wangli with a smile on his childish face, the corner of his mouth is obviously smiling, a pair of pear dimples slowly emerge, which is not at all inconsistent with this arrogant face, Su Wangli even I think this person is very cute sometimes.

"It's important to catch monsters." The tone was cold, with only four words, he stepped forward, waved his wide sleeves at Jing Zhan, Jing Zhan immediately let go, and saw that the wrinkled lantern in his hand was burned instantly For ashes scattered into the wind.

Jing Zhan rubbed his hands, slapped the dust off his hands, and then ran a few steps to catch up with Su Wangli.

"Why don't you wait for the dawn to come again? Doesn't the master know that it is night in the mortal world?"

"Know"

"I know it's time to pick this moment. There is no inn open in this area. It's so late. Could it be that we find a ruined temple and just spend the night?"

"Dare to talk to Master like that?"

Jing Zhan didn't seem to see Su Wangli's anger and frown, but he knew that Su Wangli was impatient at the moment, so he immediately changed his words, "Your apprentice can be anywhere, but I'm just worried that Master, you are delicate and expensive, how can you Feel free to spread some hay and sleep overnight?"

Su Wangli finally stopped, turned his head and looked up at Jing Zhan, his starry eyes were full of impatience, "As a teacher, I have my own way."

"Oh?" Jing Zhan's eyes deepened unconsciously, and his voice sank a little, "Could it be possible, Master, you want to sleep in the inn for nothing without paying?"

Jing Zhan is very smart, how could he not have thought of Su Wangli's method, at worst, he would find an inn and sneak into the room to sleep for one night, and then leave early the next morning without anyone noticing, which would save a lot of trouble.

Su Wangli took a deep breath, this kid is really clever, he seems to be able to see through everything in front of him.

Just as Su Wangli was about to open his mouth to deny it, he felt the ground tremble slightly, so he took Jing Zhan's hand, and the two of them jumped up to the roof. The tiles were a little loose, and they stepped on it, making a crisp creaking sound.

After the two of them had stabilized their breath, Su Wangli heard the sound of distant and near, like the sound of a horse's hooves stepping on the ground, but it didn't sound like a horse's crisp and sensitive, but more like the clumsy and slow sound of a strong cow. Suddenly, the whole brick house trembled again and again.

"Wow-wow-"

Immediately afterwards, the two heard the cry of a baby.
