The scumbag brother is finally accepted
Chapter 104
In the early morning of the next day, the news that "the cold dragon was destroyed" spread all over the streets and alleys.The neighbors in the neighborhood were beaming with beating gongs and drums, carrying baskets of vegetables, and swarmed into Zhou's house to thank Shen Mengzhuang and others.
"Master Shen, I'm really grateful. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would all be bullied by evil dragons in this life."
"Yes, yes, Immortal Master Shen and Immortal Master Zhou are truly immortals!"
"I will never scold the Cangxuan Sect anymore. The Cangxuan Sect is the number one sect for eliminating harm for the people!"
……
A group of people surrounded Shen Mengzhuang and others, grabbed his arm, and thanked him gratefully.The sudden battle made Shen Mengzhuang confused, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened.After Zhou Yuanwai's explanation, he learned that the evil dragon of Zhangwei Mountain had disappeared, and even the whole mountain was razed to the ground, turning the mountain into a sea. The once majestic snow mountain has now become a red sea.
After talking about the current situation of Zhangwei Mountain, Zhou Yuanwai grabbed Shen Mengzhuang's arm and thanked him repeatedly.Shen Mengzhuang was puzzled, and before he could answer, Zhou Bufan who was on the side rushed forward and patted Zhou Yuanwai on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "No thanks, this is what we should do, turn around and say more good things about the Cangxuan sect, don't let me go!" People say what they say."
"Of course! Of course!"
The people in the house were still immersed in the joy of being rescued and reborn, and Shen Mengzhuang and others tried their best to squeeze out from the packed crowd.Zhou Bufan and others went back to pack their bags, Shen Mengzhuang was talking with Zhou Yuanwai, but Lu Qingyuan was still surrounded by a group of people.The two Madam Zhou stuffed the package they had prepared into his arms, and the Da Madam pulled him to ask him how he was, and glanced at Shen Mengzhuang from time to time, and said shyly, "Xiao Lu, these are all the clothes prepared by my sisters. Seeing that the weather is getting cold, please take care of yourself.”
"Yes, yes, you see that you only wear these two pieces, and your hands are not cold at all." The second lady echoed.
The preface was all foreshadowing, the eldest lady pulled Lu Qingyuan's sleeves twice, and whispered closely: "Help my sister take good care of Mr. Shen."
Lu Qingyuan, who was pulled left and right, was taken aback when he heard the sound, and stared at the eldest lady with an indescribable complicated expression on his face.
At this time, Shen Mengzhuang finished talking with Zhou Yuanwai, and when he turned his head, he saw the two wives "holding" Lu Qingyuan, one on the left and the other on the right, whispering in his ears.Seeing this scene in his eyes, Shen Mengzhuang quietly looked at the backs of the three of them, not daring to step forward to disturb them.
However, Lu Qingyuan, who was attacked from left to right, felt uncomfortable. At this moment, in this situation, he really realized what it means to "go in from the left ear and out from the right ear".Lu Qingyuan, who was about to be drowned by saliva, turned his head to look at Shen Mengzhuang, his pitiful eyes were full of words, "Brother, help me!"
Seeing Lu Qingyuan's call for help, Shen Mengzhuang, who had admired the "beauty of the world" for a long time, set out to rescue and sent the two wives away.At this moment, there were only two people left in the courtyard. Shen Mengzhuang took the burden from Lu Qingyuan's arms, and couldn't help laughing at him, "When did you preach to others so obediently? Didn't you dislike getting close to people in the past?"
The person in front of him was still panting after being saved, when he suddenly heard Shen Mengzhuang's words, he stared at him in a daze before saying anything.Lu Qingyuan's luck just now was shattered by these two sentences in an instant, and only doubts lingered in his mind.
That's right, doesn't he hate being approached by others the most?Doesn't he like to get along with people?Every bit of human affection from the past came to my mind, and there was no scene worthy of nostalgia and joy, at least that was the case a year ago.
Lu Qingyuan was stunned in place, caught in a whirlpool.
It's not like that, it's not that he doesn't like being close to people, it's because he's afraid.When I was young and naive, I still felt the gentleness in the world.Mother is also grateful when she is with her.The sun was shining brightly, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and he had a bright smile.When did the surroundings change?When is he not close to people?When the smiling face becomes a sharp blade, scolding and cursing, thinking him as a monster, the world cannot tolerate him, and he gets used to it day after day.Don't love the world, don't love the world, just live alone in the hands of the world, and get used to it.
It is, it has always been.In Lu Qingyuan's eyes, waves that had settled for many years appeared. The greatest misfortune in this life is to be alive.Always.But why, why?why...
The past and the present were repeatedly torn in Lu Qingyuan's mind, and Lu Qingyuan became more and more confused. For some reason, the doubts in his heart kept dividing.
Shen Mengzhuang, who was about to walk away, realized that no one was following him, turned around and saw that Lu Qingyuan was still standing there motionless, and teased, "Let's go, little fool."
The familiar words dispelled the doubts in his heart, Lu Qingyuan immediately recovered his senses and patted his head, trotting to keep up with Lu Qingyuan's pace.
The person in front of him was still Shengxue in white, standing quietly on the spot and waiting for the people behind to catch up.The world of mortals never falls on his shoulders, only the spring scenery stays on the tips of his hair, carrying the peach blossoms and the sun and moon.
The distance between the two was getting closer, Lu Qingyuan looked at Shen Mengzhuang's figure, and couldn't hide his joy from his heart.As long as I think of him, peach blossoms will fill my heart.
In the last step, Lu Qingyuan jumped to Shen Mengzhuang's side and grabbed the hand that Shen Mengzhuang extended.Between the intertwining of fingers, everything has the answer.
It was dusk, and everyone packed their bags and left.As soon as we parted, Zhong Yan stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "After this battle, Zhong has come to a conclusion on what outsiders said about the Cangxuan School. Although we will each perform our duties in the future, our friendship will remain the same. Brother Shen, take care. Take care, everyone."
Standing in front of him, Shen Mengzhuang bowed back and solemnly said, "Take care."
Cangxuan Honglin, who used to be in a state of invincibility, cooperates to kill demons by mistake.Although the positions are opposite, people's hearts are always fleshy.However, although the friendship exists, it cannot last forever, the positions are always opposite, and the conflict is difficult to resolve.Whether now or in the future.
In the Battle of the Cold Dragon, Shen Mengzhuang and the others gained nothing, and the heavy responsibility was on their shoulders, and everyone was under increasing pressure.The only way is to search for the alien beast non-stop, take the leader of the alien beast before other sects, and regain the title of number one.
Just as everyone set off, Shen Mengzhuang suddenly caught a glimpse of a foreign object on Lu Qingyuan's sleeve, pulled his arm and twisted a piece of it.At first glance, it was a bone fragment, but upon closer inspection by Shen Mengzhuang, he found that it was not an ordinary bone, it was actually a human bone, and there was a faint array activated on the fragment, which was very eerie.
Seeing Shen Mengzhuang staring down at his sleeve, Lu Qingyuan wondered, "What's wrong, senior brother?"
His thoughts were interrupted, Shen Mengzhuang raised his head when he heard the sound, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Did Xiao Jiu go out last night?"
When asked this question suddenly, Lu Qingyuan paused, thought for a while, and answered with certainty: "No, brother sent me back last night and didn't come out again. Why did brother ask me this?"
"It's okay." Shen Mengzhuang saw that there was no abnormality in his expression, which was the same as in the past, so he put away his unnecessary guesses, put down his arm, changed his amiable expression, and said with a pleasant face: "Go to bed early at night."
When the rest of the people rushed forward and didn't find it, Lu Qingyuan grabbed Shen Mengzhuang's right hand that was about to be retracted, and while the temperature of his palm was being transmitted, he smiled and said: "Senior brother is reluctant."
A small hand was stuffed into the palm, and the real touch dispelled all the doubts just now.Shen Mengzhuang led him forward, with a smile in his eyes, he smiled and said as he walked, "I don't know who is reluctant."
After one thing was over and one thing started, following the instructions of the magic-seeking instrument, everyone walked westward with their swords and came to a lively small town-Lumingtang.
It was getting late, the lanterns on the street were flickering with weak candles, the trees were covered with red sticks from girls begging for marriage, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, which seemed to be a peaceful scene.But why did the pedestrians look flustered, the hawkers hurriedly closed their stalls, everyone was in a hurry, the doors of the people on the side of the road were closed, and the candles were extinguished early.But for a moment, the crowded path was deserted, like a bird returning to its nest, hiding in the house in panic.
Looking at the passers-by who fled in a hurry, Shen Mengzhuang was puzzled. He grabbed a passing young man and was about to ask him, but he was thrown away by the man, and he shouted very fearfully: "Hurry up, don't ask!" I don't know anything, let's go!"
The young man pushed Shen Mengzhuang away and pushed the stall, and fled in a panic like the wind was blowing under his feet.The street was bleak, and only the people stayed where they were.
After looking around carefully, Shen Mengzhuang discussed: "It's getting late, there is something strange inside, how about finding an inn and checking it out?"
"Listen to you."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Bufan took the lead to find the nearest inn.The front foot just stepped on the threshold, and before he even opened his mouth, the waiter in the shop prevaricated him with the reason of "full restaurant".
This was the case with the second house, and it is still the case with the third house.The crowd continued to search with their last sliver of hope until they reached the last inn. When they were closed and forbidden to enter the door, Zhou Bufan was completely annoyed. He stood in front of the inn, pointed at the signboard and shouted: " Hey, I said, why is it like this again, where is the anti-plague god? Hurry up and open the door for your Grandpa Zhou! Where are you? Where are you hiding? If you don’t open the door again, Grandpa, I will demolish the house!"
The wooden door was slammed, and dust fell all over the floor.Zhou Bufan angrily slapped the door violently, as if he wanted to vent his anger.
The people inside the door did not dare to speak out, they could only stare at the precarious door, and shouted to the Bodhisattva for blessing a thousand times in their hearts.Zhou Bufan outside the door saw that no one responded, so he directly fueled the anger in his heart, took a step back and wanted to kick the door open, but fortunately he was stopped by Shen Mengzhuang who rushed over, and the wooden door escaped unharmed.
Seeing Zhou Bufan vent his anger on the door and the insiders, Shen Mengzhuang said in a deep voice: "Bufan, don't be rude."
Zhou Bufan, who was in a rage, was told by Shen Mengzhuang that he had no choice but to give up the idea of kicking the door, stood aside resentfully, and said unwillingly: "Senior brother, they don't appreciate you for showing them good looks. These people are bullying and fearing hard. You Just don’t worry about it, it’s better to let me kick open the gate, I don’t believe they dare to push us out.”
Shen Mengzhuang ignored it, went straight to the door, knocked twice and said calmly: "Under Cangxuan's disciple Shen Mengzhuang, my junior brother offended me in a moment of impatience, so I apologize on behalf of him. Since it's getting late, we just want to stay overnight. He wants to ask, why does your store close its doors and reject customers?"
The sound of banging on the door stopped abruptly, and the insiders stared at the door without daring to come out.Hearing Shen Mengzhuang's words, he expected to be a gentleman, so he felt a little relieved, and replied tremblingly: "This fairy master, it's not that we don't want to see a few people, but that there are many strange things in the city recently, especially tonight. On the night of the crescent moon, we really dare not entertain outsiders, the immortal master should find another place, and don't embarrass us."
"Shuangyue Guanhong?" Shen Mengzhuang murmured in a low voice. Hearing the shopkeeper's earnest words, there was real fear in his tone, and he didn't seem to be prevaricating. He asked again: "What is Shuangyue Guanhong?"
"This happened a few months ago. Every night when the sun rises, there are two moons in the sky, one of which is a red moon. At midnight, a group of monsters will come out of the red moon to catch the living. Therefore, people in the city are in panic, and today is the waning sun, who is not afraid, the immortal masters should go elsewhere."
After thinking for a while outside the door, Shen Mengzhuang came to a conclusion in his mind, "I'm bothering you, please don't be offended by the shopkeeper, and Shen will leave." Before leaving, he drew a formation outside the door. Can temporarily shelter for a while.
Seeing that Shen Mengzhuang was about to leave, Zhou Bufan jumped out to stop him and asked, "Where is senior brother going? Is this the last family?"
Looking up at the gloomy night, the night was too deep to see a broken star, and the shadow of the moon could be glimpsed at the end of the east and west sky.When the night is getting darker, the two full moons will meet each other, and the red crowned demon will make trouble at midnight, and the people will be in trouble.Shen Mengzhuang said with a serious expression: "Find a ruined temple and wait until late at night before acting."
"Ah?" Zhou Bufan's eyebrows and nose were crowded when he heard that he was going to die in the ruined temple, and he followed behind the crowd very dissatisfied, and looked back at the inn from time to time.
The night was getting darker, there were no lights on the street, the cold wind was howling, and there was not a sound of insects under the treetops and bridges.An obscure night filled with deathly silence.
When everyone reached the fork, a figure suddenly rushed out from the alley and bumped into Zhou Bufan.Zhou Bufan was about to open his mouth to say hello, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a weak girl who was knocked away a few meters and fell to the ground, and the things in the basket were scattered all over the floor.
Seeing the girl lying on the ground, Ye Zhen Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, she guessed that the collision might seriously hurt her.However, the girl got up and patted the dirt on her body, rubbed her head, grabbed the basket and continued to carry it as if nothing happened.Not only did he not blame Zhou Bufan, but he also asked everyone why they were still wandering on the road at night.
After Shen Mengzhuang finished explaining the ins and outs of the matter, the girl did not avoid everyone like the shopkeeper did just now, but said generously: "It turns out to be Master Shen from the Cangxuan Sect. You are being polite, little girl. If the immortal masters don't mind , you can follow me to my humble house for the night.”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Bufan immediately agreed, "The girl is beautiful and kind-hearted, Zhou has thanked the girl on behalf of the senior brother."
Shen Mengzhuang, who was standing beside him, glanced at him, then bowed his head and said politely: "Excuse me, may I ask the mansion..."
The girl walking in front of the crowd looked back at Shen Mengzhuang, pointed to a mansion in front of her and replied, "Mu's house in Lumingtang, little girl Mu Wanjiang."
In the dark night, at the end of the sight is a brightly lit house.Mu Wanjiang explained that some street vendors are busy with making a living, so they always close their stalls very late, leaving a light for passers-by, which is considered convenient.
During the conversation, everyone has already arrived at the evening house.At the gate of the mansion, a maid dressed in red and green held a handkerchief in her hand, stretched her neck and looked at the end of the road.When Mu Wanjiang's figure appeared, he rushed over and took the basket on her back, with an anxious look on his face, and a worried and slightly reproachful tone: "Miss! Why did you come back today? If you are late, I will It's just dead."
The one who spoke was Shichun, Mu Wanjiang's close servant girl, with a well-groomed appearance, about twelve or thirteen years old.Seeing her words and deeds, she is not like a master and servant with Mu Wanjiang, but like a pair of sisters.
"Miss, you picked so many herbs, it's so heavy!" Shichun moved the baskets in by himself, took over and gave up, so he had to call the servant at the door to bring in the baskets, and send the herbs inside to the kitchen.
Everything is ready, Shichun is about to take Mu Wanjiang back home, when she catches a glimpse of the people behind her, the figures in the night startle her.After being introduced by Mu Wanjiang, Shichun led the way for everyone.
Walking to the courtyard, I saw a group of servant girls chattering around an old woman.Shichun took out the identity of the young lady's close maid, pretended to be angry and reprimanded a few words, "The guests don't understand the rules", and then ordered the little girls to serve tea.
The old woman sitting in the courtyard had white hair and goose skin, her eyes were closed tightly, a wooden stick was placed in front of her, she was chanting something, and she stopped chanting after the little girls dispersed.
"Grandma, how did you come out today?" Mu Wanjiang walked to the old woman and introduced to everyone, "This is Sai Mengpo, who is very effective in fortune-telling by touching bones, and can know everyone's future."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Bufan's interest was aroused, and he asked with a gleam in his eyes: "Really? I don't believe it." Although he said so, he was interested in mysterious and mysterious things that no one else believed in. full.At this moment, there is Sai Meng Po, a Sai Immortal, how could he let it go.
"If you don't believe Master Zhou, you can give it a try. Just let the mother-in-law pinch her right hand, and she will know the future."
Before Mu Wanjiang finished speaking, Zhou Bufan had already leaned in front of Sai Mengpo, stretched out his right hand to her hand, and said, "Touch it carefully, and see if I can make a fortune in the future."
Sai Mengpo squeezed Zhou Bufan's right hand, muttered a few words, then shook his head and said: "Love has been spared since ancient times, and there must be hatred for poor people." After finishing speaking, she sighed three times "" Alas, alas".
A few words were like a basin of cold water pouring from head to toe, Zhou Bufan's face instantly turned red from eating dirt, and his seven orifices were smoking.He yelled "Old lady!".
Seeing this, Ye Zhen Zhen hurriedly pulled him away, standing between the two of them to stop the impending battle.
"Second senior brother and mother-in-law are talking ironically. It's always the same when you look at the bones, mother-in-law, touch me."
Sai Mengpo also squeezed, muttered a few words, still shook her head like she just said: "The cutting will continue to be chaotic, one report for another report." After finishing speaking, she also sighed three times "Ai Ai Ai Ai", After sighing, she seemed to feel that it was a pity, and added: "Little girl, turn around and be right."
As soon as the words fell, before Ye Zhenzhen got angry, Zhou Bufan was the first to lose her footing.His face was uglier than before, he rushed forward and said angrily: "The old woman is talking nonsense! Where is the retribution for the girl to be good—"
"Okay, okay, second senior brother, I have already said what my mother-in-law said is ironic, so if I'm not mad at you, don't be mad at you either." Ye Zhenzhen pulled Zhou Bufan away, then grabbed Shen Mengzhuang and pushed her to Po Sai Meng.I thought that there should be nothing wrong with the elder brother, so I at least eased the tense atmosphere.
"Mother-in-law, please take a look at my elder brother again, he is fine, please touch it carefully." Ye Zhenzhen took Shen Mengzhuang's hand, Shen Mengzhuang looked at her full of doubts, Ye Zhenzhen nodded to him, and Shen Mengzhuang followed suit agreed.
Sai Mengpo repeated the same action, but this time it was extra long, pinching Shen Mengzhuang's hand bone for a long time without saying a word, neither shaking her head nor sighing.
Zhou Bufan, who was sitting at the side watching the play, crossed his legs.After drinking a cup of tea, the anger gradually subsided, but his mouth was still unrelenting, and he teased in a strange way: "Why didn't the old woman say anything? Are you out of your wits?"
Closing her eyes and concentrating on it, Sai Mengpo didn't pay any attention to it. She held Shen Mengzhuang's right hand with both hands and didn't let go. After a long silence, she slowly said: "This young master..."
His tone was not as firm as before, but he was very regretful. In the end, he sighed "Oh", patted the back of Shen Mengzhuang's hand, and said, "This is the body of Bodhi, so why do you provoke the world of mortals?"
"puff--"
As soon as Sai Mengpo finished speaking, Zhou Bufan spit out his mouth full of tea, laughed loudly and said, "I said senior brother, I never thought that I would be as restrained as you, and actually provoke the world of mortals? I don't know which mortal is it, is it the girl from back then?"
I thought that Sai Mengpo had some amazing words, but I didn't expect it to be this sentence, but Zhou Bufan deliberately distorted it, so how to prevent others from thinking it wrong.Shen Mengzhuang withdrew his hand, straightened his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "There is no girl."
As if he had caught Shen Mengzhuang's handle, Zhou Bufan suddenly got excited, and said with a persistent smile: "Eldest brother, the fairy mother-in-law said that you provoked the world of mortals, so you should recruit it. Back then when we went down the mountain, it would be a different experience. Yours Where's the girl? Where's your relationship?"
The more he said the more bizarre, Shen Mengzhuang frowned slightly, and said with a serious expression: "Where did the love come from, don't talk nonsense."
He wanted to speak out to stop the absurdity, but it had the opposite effect.Ye Zhenzhen at the side has curiosity written all over her body, the relationship between the senior brother, she feels surprised and excited when she thinks about it, the most important thing is "once".If the story of a man and a woman contains the word "once", it will make people daydream, Ye Zhenzhen firmly believes in this.
The more curious she became, the more she wanted to know, Ye Zhenzhen pulled Zhou Bufan around for a while, her eyes lit up and exclaimed: "Really?! Really?! Eldest brother actually had a relationship? When? Where is the girl? She looks good Where is she now?"
The person involved, Shen Mengzhuang's face was ashen at the moment, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Bufan, don't talk nonsense."
At this time, Lu Qingyuan who was behind him was equally anxious and annoyed, he pulled Shen Mengzhuang's sleeve and asked anxiously: "Brother, is it true?"
"Nothing, don't listen to his nonsense."
Zhou Bufan, who was gloating at other people's misfortune, was trembling all over his body, and when he heard Shen Mengzhuang say that he was talking nonsense, he regained his energy and laughed even harder.
"I'm not talking nonsense, the third child knows this. I don't believe it, the third child will never lie. Right, the third child." Zhou Bufan threw the potato to Leng Shanlan.
Ye Zhenzhen, who was the most excited in the audience, hurriedly ran to Leng Shanlan, and asked in surprise: "Really? Really? Is it true, Senior Sister?"
I saw Leng Shanlan sitting leaning against a wooden pillar, holding the Demon Slayer Sword in his hand, his face was calm and unmoved.After Ye Zhen Zhen finished asking, she didn't look up at her, just stared at the ground, and replied coldly, "Yes".
With Leng Shanlan's confirmation, Ye Zhenzhen felt like a volcano erupted in her heart, as if she had found a treasure, she almost jumped up.Then he hurried to Zhou Bufan's side, pleading: "Oh my god! My god! I want to hear, I want to hear! Second senior brother, tell me quickly, I want to know!"
Since Ye Zhenzhen has something to ask, Zhou Bufan naturally wants to satisfy her with all his heart.Putting down his raised right leg, straightened his body and said solemnly: "This is what happened, a long, long, long time ago, when you hadn't gone up the mountain, the master assigned me to go down the mountain—"
The story had just begun, and Zhou Bufan noticed a sharp gaze coming over him, and then coughed dryly, and covered it up: "I'm afraid you have a life to listen to me, and I will tell you secretly when there is no one else."
Seeing that everyone said it with nose and eyes, this matter is somewhat credible.Lu Qingyuan was angry and annoyed, with tears in his eyes, he tugged on Shen Mengzhuang's sleeve, his cheeks flushed, his tone was questioning and slightly frustrated, and he called softly: "Senior brother..."
Shen Mengzhuang didn't care about how others guessed and imagined, except Lu Qingyuan.Shen Mengzhuang didn't want him to be disappointed at all, so he tried his best to argue: "I really didn't, so don't listen to him."
Seeing that Lu Qingyuan's face was still not happy, Shen Mengzhuang comforted him in a very low voice, "I only have you."
When Lu Qingyuan, who was still depressed just now, heard these words, his heart suddenly cleared the clouds and saw the sun, and a warm current surged up. He no longer had the heart to think about the girl and Qingyuan, and he wanted to ponder these six words with all his heart and eyes.
Seeing the little fool's face turn from cloudy to sunny, Shen Mengzhuang was relieved.In order to change the subject, Shen Mengzhuang pulled Lu Qingyuan over and said earnestly: "Xiao Jiu also come to try?"
Sai Mengpo touched Lu Qingyuan's right hand, she thought she was still shaking her head and sighing, but as soon as she touched Lu Qingyuan's right hand and pinched the bones twice, Sai Mengpo suddenly threw her arm away and screamed, her hands stopped in the air and trembled. The whole person was terrified like losing his soul.Mu Wanjiang at the side hurriedly held Sai Mengpo's hands to comfort her, coaxing "It's okay, it's okay."
Everyone heard the sound and looked at Sai Mengpo, then at Lu Qingyuan.Lu Qingyuan held his wrists and looked at the crowd in bewilderment, then looked back at Shen Mengzhuang, full of self-blame and helplessness.Shen Mengzhuang patted his head and comforted him softly: "It's all right, don't be afraid."
Pulling the person behind him to protect him, Shen Mengzhuang stood between Lu Qingyuan and Sai Mengpo and asked her why she suddenly panicked?Sai Mengpo waved her hands in a panic, fumbled for the wooden stick beside the table in an attempt to leave, and shouted: "Don't say it, don't say it!"
Sai Mengpo struggled to leave, Mu Wanjiang helped her up, and called Lai Shichun to help her back.
The courtyard returned to tranquility, and everyone sat around the table.Lu Qingyuan looked down at the ground, Shen Mengzhuang took his hands and put them in the palms of his own, trying to warm his cold little hands to drive away the chill.Lu Qingyuan looked up at Shen Mengzhuang, and smiled at him knowingly. Fortunately, there was a senior brother there.
When everyone asked about the "Double Moon Crown Red", Mu Wanjiang explained in detail the strange things that happened in Lumingtang in recent months.
Luming Pond, which used to be calm and calm, suddenly became uneasy three months ago. Since three months ago, there will be double moons at the end of each month, and at midnight, a monster with a human head and a snake body will come out of the red moon to catch Living people, and all of this starts with the boulder that fell from the sky a hundred years ago.
This giant stone is rumored to be the spirit of an ancient god and beast, with a human head and a snake body, blessing the common people.In the mountain city guarded by Chongling, the weather is good every year and the people live and work in peace and contentment.People in the world build temples for Chongling and refill the sesame oil. Chongling never demands too much from the people. It is enough to light three lotus lanterns for it on the first day of each month to help it survive the catastrophe. Chongling will do its best to satisfy all the wishes of the world. .
The days of the common people worshiping and coming back for protection have been repeated year after year.The demands of the world are also becoming more and more difficult to satisfy. From the beginning, they just hoped that the rice fields would be free from pests and that there would be a good harvest in the coming year, to begging for the continuation of the family incense and full of children and grandchildren.From being healed for illness to immortality, from being free from disease and disaster to riding a crane to Yangzhou.Although Chong Ling's ability is limited, he still exhausts his heart to realize the wishes of the people.The beasts are affectionate and never hold grudges.
However, there will always be a day when there is more than enough intentions but insufficient power, and the spiritual power of Chongling is exhausted. Once the wishes of the world were not fulfilled and people were questioned and suspected. three.The lotus lantern used to send off errands could not help Chongling resist the erosion of the heart by animal nature, and eventually the human skin began to fester, and scales climbed onto the skin.
The divinity is weak, and the power of the heavy spirit is getting weaker and weaker. From barely fulfilling the wishes of the world, to finally failing to accomplish anything.People in the world have changed from questioning and suspicion to disgust and contempt, and even scolding.The gods enshrined on the lotus platform were overthrown by their own hands, the temples were demolished, and sesame oil was poured out. The gods were no longer, and the gods no longer loved the world.
The grievances in the abandoned Chong Ling's heart have accumulated into resentment, and there is a loophole in the divinity of Purdue sentient beings, allowing the animal nature to take advantage of the void to invade the body.At this time, Demon Lord Hei Li conquered the dark realm, fished Chong Ling out of the fallen hell, and threw it into the demon's swamp.
The gods turned into demons overnight.In the past, the sacred beast Chongling of the people of Fuze became the number one hero under the Mozun's seat - the three-headed Qiying.
The three Qiying who followed the demon king to fight were decisive and cruel, and corpses were everywhere wherever they went.Until 100 years ago, during the Demon Sealing War, Demon Lord Hei Li died physically and mentally, and was banned and sealed in a dark cave.The three first Qiying were also affected by the forbidden seal. The three bodies were separated and fell in the dark world. One of them fell in the Luming Pond. - Ze of Dongting.
Nothing happened after the boulder landed a hundred years ago, until three months ago there was the "Double Moon Crown Red".
"Tonight is double moon again, and I don't know how many people will suffer." After explaining the ins and outs, Mu Wanjiang not only lamented, how many innocent people died and were injured every double moon, and all she could do was to heal the wounds of the living.
The courtyard was silent, and the double moon above the head was getting closer and closer, and one of the rounds of red light was dazzling, as bright as blood, as if soaked in blood.
At the same time, inside the cave.Shi Bai and An Puppet are having a secret conversation.The situation changed, and the dark puppet recounted Heili's plan in detail.Shi Bai's face was still calm and unhurried, no surprise could be seen, he was twirling the jade wrench in his hand, he had already weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
After An Puppet finished speaking, Shi Bai slowly said: "I don't care about the ambition of the demon king, I only care about whether the promise back then is still valid."
"Your Majesty promises everything, and the promise of the year will never fail."
"Okay!" With the guarantee from the dark puppet, Shi Bai became even more imperative, and said firmly: "That Shi will do his best, please."
As soon as the words fell, the figure on the stone wall disappeared immediately, and the dark puppet disappeared immediately, and the cave returned to calm.
Looking at Mu Mansion again, everyone dispersed.Lu Qingyuan followed behind Shen Mengzhuang, and the two followed suit.Thinking of Sai Mengpo shaking off his hand just now, she felt unspeakably sad.The images of being treated as monsters and being bullied by peers are engraved in his mind.The feeling of not being seen, no matter how you digest it, is still like a thorn in your heart.Why expect anything from the world?Lu Qingyuan asked secretly.
Perhaps, as others have said, he is a bastard, an outcast from heaven.Everything he likes will leave him in the end.Everything he liked was lost by him in the end.The mother is like this, the husband of the private school is like this, and so is the jade pendant.Um?Jade pendant?
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyuan touched his body, but there was nothing there.He remembered that he was made things difficult by Zhou Bufan back then, and the jade pendant was lost at that time, and he has not found it until now.It was the only thing mother left him, and mother had said more than once not to lose it, it was the treasure that father had told him to take good care of.However, it was still lost by him. He was indeed a disaster star, a waste, and he messed up again.As long as it is something he likes, it will be taken away by heaven one by one, and no one will be spared.
Lu Qingyuan, who was thinking wildly with his head down, didn't see that Shen Mengzhuang had stopped at all, and bumped into his back.
"Why don't you look at the road? Does it hurt?" Shen Mengzhuang rubbed his head for him. Seeing his downcast, he thought it was something that displeased him just now. OK?"
Lu Qingyuan nodded, but still lowered his head and refused to look at Shen Mengzhuang.
The little fool became stubborn, and there was really nothing he could do.Shen Mengzhuang looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he stretched out his hand to lift Lu Qingyuan's chin, leaned over and kissed him lightly.
The touch of a dragonfly touch made Lu Qingyuan, who was still thinking about it, go blank, looked up at Shen Mengzhuang and blinked blankly.The melancholy in his heart was instantly dispelled, like an April spring breeze blowing into his heart, and the joy of being kissed by his senior brother occupied his whole body, his eyes were filled with joy and smiles, and he squinted and smiled at Shen Mengzhuang.
Seeing that the person in front of him was smiling instantly, Shen Mengzhuang couldn't help pursing his lips and chuckling, stretched out his hand to shave his cheek, and said with a smile, "That's all you've got."
After the people who left had arranged the mansion properly, they came to the street to inspect.The night wind is cold, the cold air hits people, and the two moons are in the sky.It was midnight, and the red moon moved to the right side of the bright moon, and the two moons were parallel.The color of blood dispersed like a mist, covering the sky.
Suddenly, the giant black-winged bird crowed, and the strange shadows overlapped in the red moon. The black shadows became clearer and clearer, and finally rushed out of the red moon.A group of monsters with the head of a man and the body of a snake descended from the sky. The three big snakes headed by them swept across the four directions in a show of force, and a group of small snakes behind them hurriedly dragged twelve red wooden coffins.The demon responds to the twelve coffins, using the blood and soul of the living to lift the ancient forbidden art.
The air of death yin dissipated, black wings hovered in formation in the sky, and the red moon became more and more strange.I saw the big snake sweeping its tail, the houses were scattered, the people in the house hugged and trembled, their bodies were covered with runes, and garlic was hung around their necks, but everything was in vain.The big snake swung its tail and swept the ground again, and the people in the house flew into the air. The little snake behind opened the Twelve Coffins. After a strange force sucked people into the coffin, the little snake quickly closed the Twelve Coffins. The action is done in one go.
The big snake continued to move forward, and wherever it passed, there were ruins and rubble everywhere.When they came to an inn, the big snake swung its tail and shook the ground, but the house was motionless and not damaged at all. The three big snakes working together were helpless. When the big snake was about to destroy all the houses angrily, Shen Mengzhuang and others came following the shadow.
I saw the silver light flying in the night sky, An Shijian flew out, the piercing sword energy swept across the snake's body, the big snake had no time to dodge, and a bloodstain was added to its face.The three snakes looked at Shen Mengzhuang at the same time, and raised their hands to move their moves. The sword of killing demons, the sword of Xiaoyao, and the sword of forgetting worries, the three fronts paralleled each other, and the sharpness of the sword repelled the power of the three snakes.
Unexpectedly, the snakes couldn't resist, seeing that the twelve coffins were full, they made a false move and took the opportunity to escape back to Hongyue.Seeing this, Shen Mengzhuang and others chased him to the middle of the moon with Yujian.
The eyes are hazy, the atmosphere is faint, passing through the thick fog.In amazement, everyone landed in an illusory place—the Dongting Lake.
In the darkness, there are many strange rocks around, and the water vapor is transpiring and foggy.The scene in front of me is false and real, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.Everyone moved forward cautiously, but found that they had been stagnant.Suddenly, a strange woman's voice sounded in my ears, melodiously, softly, and cheerfully calling: "Brother Shen, you finally came to see me!"
As soon as the words fell, Shen Mengzhuang was at a loss as if he had been hit, his inner thoughts were churning, and he was so frightened by the man's "Brother Shen" that his feet went limp and he almost fell down.
Now that he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash himself away, Shen Mengzhuang suppressed the anger in his heart, like a stick in his throat, "Heaven and Earth have a conscience."
"Master Shen, I'm really grateful. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would all be bullied by evil dragons in this life."
"Yes, yes, Immortal Master Shen and Immortal Master Zhou are truly immortals!"
"I will never scold the Cangxuan Sect anymore. The Cangxuan Sect is the number one sect for eliminating harm for the people!"
……
A group of people surrounded Shen Mengzhuang and others, grabbed his arm, and thanked him gratefully.The sudden battle made Shen Mengzhuang confused, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened.After Zhou Yuanwai's explanation, he learned that the evil dragon of Zhangwei Mountain had disappeared, and even the whole mountain was razed to the ground, turning the mountain into a sea. The once majestic snow mountain has now become a red sea.
After talking about the current situation of Zhangwei Mountain, Zhou Yuanwai grabbed Shen Mengzhuang's arm and thanked him repeatedly.Shen Mengzhuang was puzzled, and before he could answer, Zhou Bufan who was on the side rushed forward and patted Zhou Yuanwai on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "No thanks, this is what we should do, turn around and say more good things about the Cangxuan sect, don't let me go!" People say what they say."
"Of course! Of course!"
The people in the house were still immersed in the joy of being rescued and reborn, and Shen Mengzhuang and others tried their best to squeeze out from the packed crowd.Zhou Bufan and others went back to pack their bags, Shen Mengzhuang was talking with Zhou Yuanwai, but Lu Qingyuan was still surrounded by a group of people.The two Madam Zhou stuffed the package they had prepared into his arms, and the Da Madam pulled him to ask him how he was, and glanced at Shen Mengzhuang from time to time, and said shyly, "Xiao Lu, these are all the clothes prepared by my sisters. Seeing that the weather is getting cold, please take care of yourself.”
"Yes, yes, you see that you only wear these two pieces, and your hands are not cold at all." The second lady echoed.
The preface was all foreshadowing, the eldest lady pulled Lu Qingyuan's sleeves twice, and whispered closely: "Help my sister take good care of Mr. Shen."
Lu Qingyuan, who was pulled left and right, was taken aback when he heard the sound, and stared at the eldest lady with an indescribable complicated expression on his face.
At this time, Shen Mengzhuang finished talking with Zhou Yuanwai, and when he turned his head, he saw the two wives "holding" Lu Qingyuan, one on the left and the other on the right, whispering in his ears.Seeing this scene in his eyes, Shen Mengzhuang quietly looked at the backs of the three of them, not daring to step forward to disturb them.
However, Lu Qingyuan, who was attacked from left to right, felt uncomfortable. At this moment, in this situation, he really realized what it means to "go in from the left ear and out from the right ear".Lu Qingyuan, who was about to be drowned by saliva, turned his head to look at Shen Mengzhuang, his pitiful eyes were full of words, "Brother, help me!"
Seeing Lu Qingyuan's call for help, Shen Mengzhuang, who had admired the "beauty of the world" for a long time, set out to rescue and sent the two wives away.At this moment, there were only two people left in the courtyard. Shen Mengzhuang took the burden from Lu Qingyuan's arms, and couldn't help laughing at him, "When did you preach to others so obediently? Didn't you dislike getting close to people in the past?"
The person in front of him was still panting after being saved, when he suddenly heard Shen Mengzhuang's words, he stared at him in a daze before saying anything.Lu Qingyuan's luck just now was shattered by these two sentences in an instant, and only doubts lingered in his mind.
That's right, doesn't he hate being approached by others the most?Doesn't he like to get along with people?Every bit of human affection from the past came to my mind, and there was no scene worthy of nostalgia and joy, at least that was the case a year ago.
Lu Qingyuan was stunned in place, caught in a whirlpool.
It's not like that, it's not that he doesn't like being close to people, it's because he's afraid.When I was young and naive, I still felt the gentleness in the world.Mother is also grateful when she is with her.The sun was shining brightly, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and he had a bright smile.When did the surroundings change?When is he not close to people?When the smiling face becomes a sharp blade, scolding and cursing, thinking him as a monster, the world cannot tolerate him, and he gets used to it day after day.Don't love the world, don't love the world, just live alone in the hands of the world, and get used to it.
It is, it has always been.In Lu Qingyuan's eyes, waves that had settled for many years appeared. The greatest misfortune in this life is to be alive.Always.But why, why?why...
The past and the present were repeatedly torn in Lu Qingyuan's mind, and Lu Qingyuan became more and more confused. For some reason, the doubts in his heart kept dividing.
Shen Mengzhuang, who was about to walk away, realized that no one was following him, turned around and saw that Lu Qingyuan was still standing there motionless, and teased, "Let's go, little fool."
The familiar words dispelled the doubts in his heart, Lu Qingyuan immediately recovered his senses and patted his head, trotting to keep up with Lu Qingyuan's pace.
The person in front of him was still Shengxue in white, standing quietly on the spot and waiting for the people behind to catch up.The world of mortals never falls on his shoulders, only the spring scenery stays on the tips of his hair, carrying the peach blossoms and the sun and moon.
The distance between the two was getting closer, Lu Qingyuan looked at Shen Mengzhuang's figure, and couldn't hide his joy from his heart.As long as I think of him, peach blossoms will fill my heart.
In the last step, Lu Qingyuan jumped to Shen Mengzhuang's side and grabbed the hand that Shen Mengzhuang extended.Between the intertwining of fingers, everything has the answer.
It was dusk, and everyone packed their bags and left.As soon as we parted, Zhong Yan stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "After this battle, Zhong has come to a conclusion on what outsiders said about the Cangxuan School. Although we will each perform our duties in the future, our friendship will remain the same. Brother Shen, take care. Take care, everyone."
Standing in front of him, Shen Mengzhuang bowed back and solemnly said, "Take care."
Cangxuan Honglin, who used to be in a state of invincibility, cooperates to kill demons by mistake.Although the positions are opposite, people's hearts are always fleshy.However, although the friendship exists, it cannot last forever, the positions are always opposite, and the conflict is difficult to resolve.Whether now or in the future.
In the Battle of the Cold Dragon, Shen Mengzhuang and the others gained nothing, and the heavy responsibility was on their shoulders, and everyone was under increasing pressure.The only way is to search for the alien beast non-stop, take the leader of the alien beast before other sects, and regain the title of number one.
Just as everyone set off, Shen Mengzhuang suddenly caught a glimpse of a foreign object on Lu Qingyuan's sleeve, pulled his arm and twisted a piece of it.At first glance, it was a bone fragment, but upon closer inspection by Shen Mengzhuang, he found that it was not an ordinary bone, it was actually a human bone, and there was a faint array activated on the fragment, which was very eerie.
Seeing Shen Mengzhuang staring down at his sleeve, Lu Qingyuan wondered, "What's wrong, senior brother?"
His thoughts were interrupted, Shen Mengzhuang raised his head when he heard the sound, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Did Xiao Jiu go out last night?"
When asked this question suddenly, Lu Qingyuan paused, thought for a while, and answered with certainty: "No, brother sent me back last night and didn't come out again. Why did brother ask me this?"
"It's okay." Shen Mengzhuang saw that there was no abnormality in his expression, which was the same as in the past, so he put away his unnecessary guesses, put down his arm, changed his amiable expression, and said with a pleasant face: "Go to bed early at night."
When the rest of the people rushed forward and didn't find it, Lu Qingyuan grabbed Shen Mengzhuang's right hand that was about to be retracted, and while the temperature of his palm was being transmitted, he smiled and said: "Senior brother is reluctant."
A small hand was stuffed into the palm, and the real touch dispelled all the doubts just now.Shen Mengzhuang led him forward, with a smile in his eyes, he smiled and said as he walked, "I don't know who is reluctant."
After one thing was over and one thing started, following the instructions of the magic-seeking instrument, everyone walked westward with their swords and came to a lively small town-Lumingtang.
It was getting late, the lanterns on the street were flickering with weak candles, the trees were covered with red sticks from girls begging for marriage, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, which seemed to be a peaceful scene.But why did the pedestrians look flustered, the hawkers hurriedly closed their stalls, everyone was in a hurry, the doors of the people on the side of the road were closed, and the candles were extinguished early.But for a moment, the crowded path was deserted, like a bird returning to its nest, hiding in the house in panic.
Looking at the passers-by who fled in a hurry, Shen Mengzhuang was puzzled. He grabbed a passing young man and was about to ask him, but he was thrown away by the man, and he shouted very fearfully: "Hurry up, don't ask!" I don't know anything, let's go!"
The young man pushed Shen Mengzhuang away and pushed the stall, and fled in a panic like the wind was blowing under his feet.The street was bleak, and only the people stayed where they were.
After looking around carefully, Shen Mengzhuang discussed: "It's getting late, there is something strange inside, how about finding an inn and checking it out?"
"Listen to you."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Bufan took the lead to find the nearest inn.The front foot just stepped on the threshold, and before he even opened his mouth, the waiter in the shop prevaricated him with the reason of "full restaurant".
This was the case with the second house, and it is still the case with the third house.The crowd continued to search with their last sliver of hope until they reached the last inn. When they were closed and forbidden to enter the door, Zhou Bufan was completely annoyed. He stood in front of the inn, pointed at the signboard and shouted: " Hey, I said, why is it like this again, where is the anti-plague god? Hurry up and open the door for your Grandpa Zhou! Where are you? Where are you hiding? If you don’t open the door again, Grandpa, I will demolish the house!"
The wooden door was slammed, and dust fell all over the floor.Zhou Bufan angrily slapped the door violently, as if he wanted to vent his anger.
The people inside the door did not dare to speak out, they could only stare at the precarious door, and shouted to the Bodhisattva for blessing a thousand times in their hearts.Zhou Bufan outside the door saw that no one responded, so he directly fueled the anger in his heart, took a step back and wanted to kick the door open, but fortunately he was stopped by Shen Mengzhuang who rushed over, and the wooden door escaped unharmed.
Seeing Zhou Bufan vent his anger on the door and the insiders, Shen Mengzhuang said in a deep voice: "Bufan, don't be rude."
Zhou Bufan, who was in a rage, was told by Shen Mengzhuang that he had no choice but to give up the idea of kicking the door, stood aside resentfully, and said unwillingly: "Senior brother, they don't appreciate you for showing them good looks. These people are bullying and fearing hard. You Just don’t worry about it, it’s better to let me kick open the gate, I don’t believe they dare to push us out.”
Shen Mengzhuang ignored it, went straight to the door, knocked twice and said calmly: "Under Cangxuan's disciple Shen Mengzhuang, my junior brother offended me in a moment of impatience, so I apologize on behalf of him. Since it's getting late, we just want to stay overnight. He wants to ask, why does your store close its doors and reject customers?"
The sound of banging on the door stopped abruptly, and the insiders stared at the door without daring to come out.Hearing Shen Mengzhuang's words, he expected to be a gentleman, so he felt a little relieved, and replied tremblingly: "This fairy master, it's not that we don't want to see a few people, but that there are many strange things in the city recently, especially tonight. On the night of the crescent moon, we really dare not entertain outsiders, the immortal master should find another place, and don't embarrass us."
"Shuangyue Guanhong?" Shen Mengzhuang murmured in a low voice. Hearing the shopkeeper's earnest words, there was real fear in his tone, and he didn't seem to be prevaricating. He asked again: "What is Shuangyue Guanhong?"
"This happened a few months ago. Every night when the sun rises, there are two moons in the sky, one of which is a red moon. At midnight, a group of monsters will come out of the red moon to catch the living. Therefore, people in the city are in panic, and today is the waning sun, who is not afraid, the immortal masters should go elsewhere."
After thinking for a while outside the door, Shen Mengzhuang came to a conclusion in his mind, "I'm bothering you, please don't be offended by the shopkeeper, and Shen will leave." Before leaving, he drew a formation outside the door. Can temporarily shelter for a while.
Seeing that Shen Mengzhuang was about to leave, Zhou Bufan jumped out to stop him and asked, "Where is senior brother going? Is this the last family?"
Looking up at the gloomy night, the night was too deep to see a broken star, and the shadow of the moon could be glimpsed at the end of the east and west sky.When the night is getting darker, the two full moons will meet each other, and the red crowned demon will make trouble at midnight, and the people will be in trouble.Shen Mengzhuang said with a serious expression: "Find a ruined temple and wait until late at night before acting."
"Ah?" Zhou Bufan's eyebrows and nose were crowded when he heard that he was going to die in the ruined temple, and he followed behind the crowd very dissatisfied, and looked back at the inn from time to time.
The night was getting darker, there were no lights on the street, the cold wind was howling, and there was not a sound of insects under the treetops and bridges.An obscure night filled with deathly silence.
When everyone reached the fork, a figure suddenly rushed out from the alley and bumped into Zhou Bufan.Zhou Bufan was about to open his mouth to say hello, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a weak girl who was knocked away a few meters and fell to the ground, and the things in the basket were scattered all over the floor.
Seeing the girl lying on the ground, Ye Zhen Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, she guessed that the collision might seriously hurt her.However, the girl got up and patted the dirt on her body, rubbed her head, grabbed the basket and continued to carry it as if nothing happened.Not only did he not blame Zhou Bufan, but he also asked everyone why they were still wandering on the road at night.
After Shen Mengzhuang finished explaining the ins and outs of the matter, the girl did not avoid everyone like the shopkeeper did just now, but said generously: "It turns out to be Master Shen from the Cangxuan Sect. You are being polite, little girl. If the immortal masters don't mind , you can follow me to my humble house for the night.”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Bufan immediately agreed, "The girl is beautiful and kind-hearted, Zhou has thanked the girl on behalf of the senior brother."
Shen Mengzhuang, who was standing beside him, glanced at him, then bowed his head and said politely: "Excuse me, may I ask the mansion..."
The girl walking in front of the crowd looked back at Shen Mengzhuang, pointed to a mansion in front of her and replied, "Mu's house in Lumingtang, little girl Mu Wanjiang."
In the dark night, at the end of the sight is a brightly lit house.Mu Wanjiang explained that some street vendors are busy with making a living, so they always close their stalls very late, leaving a light for passers-by, which is considered convenient.
During the conversation, everyone has already arrived at the evening house.At the gate of the mansion, a maid dressed in red and green held a handkerchief in her hand, stretched her neck and looked at the end of the road.When Mu Wanjiang's figure appeared, he rushed over and took the basket on her back, with an anxious look on his face, and a worried and slightly reproachful tone: "Miss! Why did you come back today? If you are late, I will It's just dead."
The one who spoke was Shichun, Mu Wanjiang's close servant girl, with a well-groomed appearance, about twelve or thirteen years old.Seeing her words and deeds, she is not like a master and servant with Mu Wanjiang, but like a pair of sisters.
"Miss, you picked so many herbs, it's so heavy!" Shichun moved the baskets in by himself, took over and gave up, so he had to call the servant at the door to bring in the baskets, and send the herbs inside to the kitchen.
Everything is ready, Shichun is about to take Mu Wanjiang back home, when she catches a glimpse of the people behind her, the figures in the night startle her.After being introduced by Mu Wanjiang, Shichun led the way for everyone.
Walking to the courtyard, I saw a group of servant girls chattering around an old woman.Shichun took out the identity of the young lady's close maid, pretended to be angry and reprimanded a few words, "The guests don't understand the rules", and then ordered the little girls to serve tea.
The old woman sitting in the courtyard had white hair and goose skin, her eyes were closed tightly, a wooden stick was placed in front of her, she was chanting something, and she stopped chanting after the little girls dispersed.
"Grandma, how did you come out today?" Mu Wanjiang walked to the old woman and introduced to everyone, "This is Sai Mengpo, who is very effective in fortune-telling by touching bones, and can know everyone's future."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Bufan's interest was aroused, and he asked with a gleam in his eyes: "Really? I don't believe it." Although he said so, he was interested in mysterious and mysterious things that no one else believed in. full.At this moment, there is Sai Meng Po, a Sai Immortal, how could he let it go.
"If you don't believe Master Zhou, you can give it a try. Just let the mother-in-law pinch her right hand, and she will know the future."
Before Mu Wanjiang finished speaking, Zhou Bufan had already leaned in front of Sai Mengpo, stretched out his right hand to her hand, and said, "Touch it carefully, and see if I can make a fortune in the future."
Sai Mengpo squeezed Zhou Bufan's right hand, muttered a few words, then shook his head and said: "Love has been spared since ancient times, and there must be hatred for poor people." After finishing speaking, she sighed three times "" Alas, alas".
A few words were like a basin of cold water pouring from head to toe, Zhou Bufan's face instantly turned red from eating dirt, and his seven orifices were smoking.He yelled "Old lady!".
Seeing this, Ye Zhen Zhen hurriedly pulled him away, standing between the two of them to stop the impending battle.
"Second senior brother and mother-in-law are talking ironically. It's always the same when you look at the bones, mother-in-law, touch me."
Sai Mengpo also squeezed, muttered a few words, still shook her head like she just said: "The cutting will continue to be chaotic, one report for another report." After finishing speaking, she also sighed three times "Ai Ai Ai Ai", After sighing, she seemed to feel that it was a pity, and added: "Little girl, turn around and be right."
As soon as the words fell, before Ye Zhenzhen got angry, Zhou Bufan was the first to lose her footing.His face was uglier than before, he rushed forward and said angrily: "The old woman is talking nonsense! Where is the retribution for the girl to be good—"
"Okay, okay, second senior brother, I have already said what my mother-in-law said is ironic, so if I'm not mad at you, don't be mad at you either." Ye Zhenzhen pulled Zhou Bufan away, then grabbed Shen Mengzhuang and pushed her to Po Sai Meng.I thought that there should be nothing wrong with the elder brother, so I at least eased the tense atmosphere.
"Mother-in-law, please take a look at my elder brother again, he is fine, please touch it carefully." Ye Zhenzhen took Shen Mengzhuang's hand, Shen Mengzhuang looked at her full of doubts, Ye Zhenzhen nodded to him, and Shen Mengzhuang followed suit agreed.
Sai Mengpo repeated the same action, but this time it was extra long, pinching Shen Mengzhuang's hand bone for a long time without saying a word, neither shaking her head nor sighing.
Zhou Bufan, who was sitting at the side watching the play, crossed his legs.After drinking a cup of tea, the anger gradually subsided, but his mouth was still unrelenting, and he teased in a strange way: "Why didn't the old woman say anything? Are you out of your wits?"
Closing her eyes and concentrating on it, Sai Mengpo didn't pay any attention to it. She held Shen Mengzhuang's right hand with both hands and didn't let go. After a long silence, she slowly said: "This young master..."
His tone was not as firm as before, but he was very regretful. In the end, he sighed "Oh", patted the back of Shen Mengzhuang's hand, and said, "This is the body of Bodhi, so why do you provoke the world of mortals?"
"puff--"
As soon as Sai Mengpo finished speaking, Zhou Bufan spit out his mouth full of tea, laughed loudly and said, "I said senior brother, I never thought that I would be as restrained as you, and actually provoke the world of mortals? I don't know which mortal is it, is it the girl from back then?"
I thought that Sai Mengpo had some amazing words, but I didn't expect it to be this sentence, but Zhou Bufan deliberately distorted it, so how to prevent others from thinking it wrong.Shen Mengzhuang withdrew his hand, straightened his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "There is no girl."
As if he had caught Shen Mengzhuang's handle, Zhou Bufan suddenly got excited, and said with a persistent smile: "Eldest brother, the fairy mother-in-law said that you provoked the world of mortals, so you should recruit it. Back then when we went down the mountain, it would be a different experience. Yours Where's the girl? Where's your relationship?"
The more he said the more bizarre, Shen Mengzhuang frowned slightly, and said with a serious expression: "Where did the love come from, don't talk nonsense."
He wanted to speak out to stop the absurdity, but it had the opposite effect.Ye Zhenzhen at the side has curiosity written all over her body, the relationship between the senior brother, she feels surprised and excited when she thinks about it, the most important thing is "once".If the story of a man and a woman contains the word "once", it will make people daydream, Ye Zhenzhen firmly believes in this.
The more curious she became, the more she wanted to know, Ye Zhenzhen pulled Zhou Bufan around for a while, her eyes lit up and exclaimed: "Really?! Really?! Eldest brother actually had a relationship? When? Where is the girl? She looks good Where is she now?"
The person involved, Shen Mengzhuang's face was ashen at the moment, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Bufan, don't talk nonsense."
At this time, Lu Qingyuan who was behind him was equally anxious and annoyed, he pulled Shen Mengzhuang's sleeve and asked anxiously: "Brother, is it true?"
"Nothing, don't listen to his nonsense."
Zhou Bufan, who was gloating at other people's misfortune, was trembling all over his body, and when he heard Shen Mengzhuang say that he was talking nonsense, he regained his energy and laughed even harder.
"I'm not talking nonsense, the third child knows this. I don't believe it, the third child will never lie. Right, the third child." Zhou Bufan threw the potato to Leng Shanlan.
Ye Zhenzhen, who was the most excited in the audience, hurriedly ran to Leng Shanlan, and asked in surprise: "Really? Really? Is it true, Senior Sister?"
I saw Leng Shanlan sitting leaning against a wooden pillar, holding the Demon Slayer Sword in his hand, his face was calm and unmoved.After Ye Zhen Zhen finished asking, she didn't look up at her, just stared at the ground, and replied coldly, "Yes".
With Leng Shanlan's confirmation, Ye Zhenzhen felt like a volcano erupted in her heart, as if she had found a treasure, she almost jumped up.Then he hurried to Zhou Bufan's side, pleading: "Oh my god! My god! I want to hear, I want to hear! Second senior brother, tell me quickly, I want to know!"
Since Ye Zhenzhen has something to ask, Zhou Bufan naturally wants to satisfy her with all his heart.Putting down his raised right leg, straightened his body and said solemnly: "This is what happened, a long, long, long time ago, when you hadn't gone up the mountain, the master assigned me to go down the mountain—"
The story had just begun, and Zhou Bufan noticed a sharp gaze coming over him, and then coughed dryly, and covered it up: "I'm afraid you have a life to listen to me, and I will tell you secretly when there is no one else."
Seeing that everyone said it with nose and eyes, this matter is somewhat credible.Lu Qingyuan was angry and annoyed, with tears in his eyes, he tugged on Shen Mengzhuang's sleeve, his cheeks flushed, his tone was questioning and slightly frustrated, and he called softly: "Senior brother..."
Shen Mengzhuang didn't care about how others guessed and imagined, except Lu Qingyuan.Shen Mengzhuang didn't want him to be disappointed at all, so he tried his best to argue: "I really didn't, so don't listen to him."
Seeing that Lu Qingyuan's face was still not happy, Shen Mengzhuang comforted him in a very low voice, "I only have you."
When Lu Qingyuan, who was still depressed just now, heard these words, his heart suddenly cleared the clouds and saw the sun, and a warm current surged up. He no longer had the heart to think about the girl and Qingyuan, and he wanted to ponder these six words with all his heart and eyes.
Seeing the little fool's face turn from cloudy to sunny, Shen Mengzhuang was relieved.In order to change the subject, Shen Mengzhuang pulled Lu Qingyuan over and said earnestly: "Xiao Jiu also come to try?"
Sai Mengpo touched Lu Qingyuan's right hand, she thought she was still shaking her head and sighing, but as soon as she touched Lu Qingyuan's right hand and pinched the bones twice, Sai Mengpo suddenly threw her arm away and screamed, her hands stopped in the air and trembled. The whole person was terrified like losing his soul.Mu Wanjiang at the side hurriedly held Sai Mengpo's hands to comfort her, coaxing "It's okay, it's okay."
Everyone heard the sound and looked at Sai Mengpo, then at Lu Qingyuan.Lu Qingyuan held his wrists and looked at the crowd in bewilderment, then looked back at Shen Mengzhuang, full of self-blame and helplessness.Shen Mengzhuang patted his head and comforted him softly: "It's all right, don't be afraid."
Pulling the person behind him to protect him, Shen Mengzhuang stood between Lu Qingyuan and Sai Mengpo and asked her why she suddenly panicked?Sai Mengpo waved her hands in a panic, fumbled for the wooden stick beside the table in an attempt to leave, and shouted: "Don't say it, don't say it!"
Sai Mengpo struggled to leave, Mu Wanjiang helped her up, and called Lai Shichun to help her back.
The courtyard returned to tranquility, and everyone sat around the table.Lu Qingyuan looked down at the ground, Shen Mengzhuang took his hands and put them in the palms of his own, trying to warm his cold little hands to drive away the chill.Lu Qingyuan looked up at Shen Mengzhuang, and smiled at him knowingly. Fortunately, there was a senior brother there.
When everyone asked about the "Double Moon Crown Red", Mu Wanjiang explained in detail the strange things that happened in Lumingtang in recent months.
Luming Pond, which used to be calm and calm, suddenly became uneasy three months ago. Since three months ago, there will be double moons at the end of each month, and at midnight, a monster with a human head and a snake body will come out of the red moon to catch Living people, and all of this starts with the boulder that fell from the sky a hundred years ago.
This giant stone is rumored to be the spirit of an ancient god and beast, with a human head and a snake body, blessing the common people.In the mountain city guarded by Chongling, the weather is good every year and the people live and work in peace and contentment.People in the world build temples for Chongling and refill the sesame oil. Chongling never demands too much from the people. It is enough to light three lotus lanterns for it on the first day of each month to help it survive the catastrophe. Chongling will do its best to satisfy all the wishes of the world. .
The days of the common people worshiping and coming back for protection have been repeated year after year.The demands of the world are also becoming more and more difficult to satisfy. From the beginning, they just hoped that the rice fields would be free from pests and that there would be a good harvest in the coming year, to begging for the continuation of the family incense and full of children and grandchildren.From being healed for illness to immortality, from being free from disease and disaster to riding a crane to Yangzhou.Although Chong Ling's ability is limited, he still exhausts his heart to realize the wishes of the people.The beasts are affectionate and never hold grudges.
However, there will always be a day when there is more than enough intentions but insufficient power, and the spiritual power of Chongling is exhausted. Once the wishes of the world were not fulfilled and people were questioned and suspected. three.The lotus lantern used to send off errands could not help Chongling resist the erosion of the heart by animal nature, and eventually the human skin began to fester, and scales climbed onto the skin.
The divinity is weak, and the power of the heavy spirit is getting weaker and weaker. From barely fulfilling the wishes of the world, to finally failing to accomplish anything.People in the world have changed from questioning and suspicion to disgust and contempt, and even scolding.The gods enshrined on the lotus platform were overthrown by their own hands, the temples were demolished, and sesame oil was poured out. The gods were no longer, and the gods no longer loved the world.
The grievances in the abandoned Chong Ling's heart have accumulated into resentment, and there is a loophole in the divinity of Purdue sentient beings, allowing the animal nature to take advantage of the void to invade the body.At this time, Demon Lord Hei Li conquered the dark realm, fished Chong Ling out of the fallen hell, and threw it into the demon's swamp.
The gods turned into demons overnight.In the past, the sacred beast Chongling of the people of Fuze became the number one hero under the Mozun's seat - the three-headed Qiying.
The three Qiying who followed the demon king to fight were decisive and cruel, and corpses were everywhere wherever they went.Until 100 years ago, during the Demon Sealing War, Demon Lord Hei Li died physically and mentally, and was banned and sealed in a dark cave.The three first Qiying were also affected by the forbidden seal. The three bodies were separated and fell in the dark world. One of them fell in the Luming Pond. - Ze of Dongting.
Nothing happened after the boulder landed a hundred years ago, until three months ago there was the "Double Moon Crown Red".
"Tonight is double moon again, and I don't know how many people will suffer." After explaining the ins and outs, Mu Wanjiang not only lamented, how many innocent people died and were injured every double moon, and all she could do was to heal the wounds of the living.
The courtyard was silent, and the double moon above the head was getting closer and closer, and one of the rounds of red light was dazzling, as bright as blood, as if soaked in blood.
At the same time, inside the cave.Shi Bai and An Puppet are having a secret conversation.The situation changed, and the dark puppet recounted Heili's plan in detail.Shi Bai's face was still calm and unhurried, no surprise could be seen, he was twirling the jade wrench in his hand, he had already weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
After An Puppet finished speaking, Shi Bai slowly said: "I don't care about the ambition of the demon king, I only care about whether the promise back then is still valid."
"Your Majesty promises everything, and the promise of the year will never fail."
"Okay!" With the guarantee from the dark puppet, Shi Bai became even more imperative, and said firmly: "That Shi will do his best, please."
As soon as the words fell, the figure on the stone wall disappeared immediately, and the dark puppet disappeared immediately, and the cave returned to calm.
Looking at Mu Mansion again, everyone dispersed.Lu Qingyuan followed behind Shen Mengzhuang, and the two followed suit.Thinking of Sai Mengpo shaking off his hand just now, she felt unspeakably sad.The images of being treated as monsters and being bullied by peers are engraved in his mind.The feeling of not being seen, no matter how you digest it, is still like a thorn in your heart.Why expect anything from the world?Lu Qingyuan asked secretly.
Perhaps, as others have said, he is a bastard, an outcast from heaven.Everything he likes will leave him in the end.Everything he liked was lost by him in the end.The mother is like this, the husband of the private school is like this, and so is the jade pendant.Um?Jade pendant?
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyuan touched his body, but there was nothing there.He remembered that he was made things difficult by Zhou Bufan back then, and the jade pendant was lost at that time, and he has not found it until now.It was the only thing mother left him, and mother had said more than once not to lose it, it was the treasure that father had told him to take good care of.However, it was still lost by him. He was indeed a disaster star, a waste, and he messed up again.As long as it is something he likes, it will be taken away by heaven one by one, and no one will be spared.
Lu Qingyuan, who was thinking wildly with his head down, didn't see that Shen Mengzhuang had stopped at all, and bumped into his back.
"Why don't you look at the road? Does it hurt?" Shen Mengzhuang rubbed his head for him. Seeing his downcast, he thought it was something that displeased him just now. OK?"
Lu Qingyuan nodded, but still lowered his head and refused to look at Shen Mengzhuang.
The little fool became stubborn, and there was really nothing he could do.Shen Mengzhuang looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he stretched out his hand to lift Lu Qingyuan's chin, leaned over and kissed him lightly.
The touch of a dragonfly touch made Lu Qingyuan, who was still thinking about it, go blank, looked up at Shen Mengzhuang and blinked blankly.The melancholy in his heart was instantly dispelled, like an April spring breeze blowing into his heart, and the joy of being kissed by his senior brother occupied his whole body, his eyes were filled with joy and smiles, and he squinted and smiled at Shen Mengzhuang.
Seeing that the person in front of him was smiling instantly, Shen Mengzhuang couldn't help pursing his lips and chuckling, stretched out his hand to shave his cheek, and said with a smile, "That's all you've got."
After the people who left had arranged the mansion properly, they came to the street to inspect.The night wind is cold, the cold air hits people, and the two moons are in the sky.It was midnight, and the red moon moved to the right side of the bright moon, and the two moons were parallel.The color of blood dispersed like a mist, covering the sky.
Suddenly, the giant black-winged bird crowed, and the strange shadows overlapped in the red moon. The black shadows became clearer and clearer, and finally rushed out of the red moon.A group of monsters with the head of a man and the body of a snake descended from the sky. The three big snakes headed by them swept across the four directions in a show of force, and a group of small snakes behind them hurriedly dragged twelve red wooden coffins.The demon responds to the twelve coffins, using the blood and soul of the living to lift the ancient forbidden art.
The air of death yin dissipated, black wings hovered in formation in the sky, and the red moon became more and more strange.I saw the big snake sweeping its tail, the houses were scattered, the people in the house hugged and trembled, their bodies were covered with runes, and garlic was hung around their necks, but everything was in vain.The big snake swung its tail and swept the ground again, and the people in the house flew into the air. The little snake behind opened the Twelve Coffins. After a strange force sucked people into the coffin, the little snake quickly closed the Twelve Coffins. The action is done in one go.
The big snake continued to move forward, and wherever it passed, there were ruins and rubble everywhere.When they came to an inn, the big snake swung its tail and shook the ground, but the house was motionless and not damaged at all. The three big snakes working together were helpless. When the big snake was about to destroy all the houses angrily, Shen Mengzhuang and others came following the shadow.
I saw the silver light flying in the night sky, An Shijian flew out, the piercing sword energy swept across the snake's body, the big snake had no time to dodge, and a bloodstain was added to its face.The three snakes looked at Shen Mengzhuang at the same time, and raised their hands to move their moves. The sword of killing demons, the sword of Xiaoyao, and the sword of forgetting worries, the three fronts paralleled each other, and the sharpness of the sword repelled the power of the three snakes.
Unexpectedly, the snakes couldn't resist, seeing that the twelve coffins were full, they made a false move and took the opportunity to escape back to Hongyue.Seeing this, Shen Mengzhuang and others chased him to the middle of the moon with Yujian.
The eyes are hazy, the atmosphere is faint, passing through the thick fog.In amazement, everyone landed in an illusory place—the Dongting Lake.
In the darkness, there are many strange rocks around, and the water vapor is transpiring and foggy.The scene in front of me is false and real, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.Everyone moved forward cautiously, but found that they had been stagnant.Suddenly, a strange woman's voice sounded in my ears, melodiously, softly, and cheerfully calling: "Brother Shen, you finally came to see me!"
As soon as the words fell, Shen Mengzhuang was at a loss as if he had been hit, his inner thoughts were churning, and he was so frightened by the man's "Brother Shen" that his feet went limp and he almost fell down.
Now that he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash himself away, Shen Mengzhuang suppressed the anger in his heart, like a stick in his throat, "Heaven and Earth have a conscience."
