[The Coldness of the Ghost Lamp] The Underworld Manuscript

Pixiu sighed that he couldn't play well with the ghost lantern, took off his glasses again and put them on his face, and decided to ignore them together with Ding Xiaocao, "Hey, this little girl can't be a little mature to understand the thoughts of the strange Shushu around her. Is it?" Pixiu scratched his nose, and turned over the wood carving on his hand again to see if there were any flaws that could make him bargain.

Ding Xiaocao's expression froze for a moment, why did he feel that the little brother was in a bad mood.

Bai Ze was still happily chatting with the girl and ignoring the crisis that was approaching him from far to near. Just when he said, "Oh, you also like to watch that movie." A low voice The baritone took up his words in a timely manner, "Ah, yes, it was really touching when Jackson let go of the wooden board for Miss Ruth. But I think this Mr. Beast probably stared at Miss Ruth's naked body the whole time. Check it out."

……Eh?Is Mr. Bai Ze talking about the Titanic?No, Mr. Ghost Lantern, do you actually watch Titanic? !Ding Xiaocao stared at the ghost lamp dumbfounded, Bai Ze didn't realize who said this at first, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, the body of a western woman...wait a minute, why are you talking about this! "

A drop of cold sweat rolled down the forehead of the goddess he accosted, "Ah... Isn't this the assistant officer of Yan Modian? If you have something to talk about, I will leave first." The sisters withdrew together, walking with a look of disgust and not knowing what they were talking about.

Bai Ze spit blood and looked at the girl who was going away, with countless intersections on his face, "You..." Pai Yao silently took a step to the side and took away the wood carving he just bought at a bargain price. The wooden statue of the beast in his own legend, but I don't know if it is because Bai Ze's rumors are so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the wooden sculpture in his hand...

Wood, tree, chrysanthemum, flower.

Pixiu took off his glasses and hasn't lost his temper for many years. Everyone regards himself as a beast, and probably forgets that he is actually a "violent beast"...

Ding Xiaocao looked at Paixiu holding the wood carving with a bad expression on his face, and immediately understood that this person's mood should not be too good now. As for Ghost Lantern and Bai Ze, they have already begun to pinch each other's faces and stand at a crossroads. You complain and I refute. At the point of a sentence——Ding Xiaocao silently looked at the black line at the end of the "grandpa" who was both over a thousand years old next year, but just like a child, just when she was considering whether to go up and talk about it. When pulling Ghost Lantern's sleeve to remind him that it's time to go shopping, Pixiu suddenly jumped up and slammed his fist on Bai Ze's head to KO him on the spot, "Didn't you tell me to bring us some good things with high cost performance? We don't care about the little girl chatting, but you are so noisy now, we can hardly bear it anymore." As he spoke, he lifted Bai Ze's foot, which was bleeding from his forehead, and dragged towards the other direction of the market, A long, red line of blood was pulled out on the ground...

In the middle of the walk, Pixiu suddenly turned his face and shouted at Ghost Lantern, who put his hands in his sleeves and had a dark face because his quarrel partner was knocked out by KO, "That lolicon over there, let me remind you, when you're dating, you don't care. If you leave the girl to quarrel with others, you will lose points~"

"It's not a date!" Ding Xiaocao shouted at Pai Yao.And why do you want to complain that the teacher is a lolicon!Well, he is indeed a bit of a lolicon, but don't say it so blatantly!

"And you, you're still a little lolita." Because both hands were occupied, one was holding the wood carving, the other was dragging Bai Ze, so Pixiu could only tilt his head like a cute supplement Said, "Girls' skin care can't just stop at sunscreen, at least they should use BB cream."

... Where on earth did he know that he never used cosmetics... The corner of Ding Xiaocao's mouth twitched, looking at Pixiu who was dragging Bai Ze away, he couldn't complain.

Ghost Lantern didn't say a word, and finally said with emotion as if he had found a bosom friend, "Ah, it seems that he understands very well. He obviously looks like Wannian Zhengtai is stunted."

What do you know?Ding Xiaocao fried hair.As long as you know about Wannian Zhengtai's stunted growth, don't say it so blatantly!You are retaliating against him for calling you a lolicon!

"Go and buy what Axiang asked you to buy first." Gui Deng lowered his head and looked at Ding Xiaocao, "But I wanted to ask you since you first came. Generally speaking, if a girl likes to be more beautiful, a dozen Will you have your ears pierced when you were young, or are your ears still intact?"

Ding Xiaocao stuck out her tongue, "I didn't get my ears pierced because I was afraid of the pain." She said with a smile, "I used to have some classmates ask me if I should get my ears pierced after graduating from high school. or something, but I always look scared. That’s why I’m often said to be timid.”

Gui Deng rubbed his chin, "It's really timid."

"... Goo." Ding Xiaocao puffed up her cheeks. Actually, there were not many things that Sister Ah Xiang wanted to help buy. They were all products that could only be bought in the kingdom of heaven. After shopping, she followed the ghost lamp to the medicine market. I bought some things like Ganoderma lucidum and Korean ginseng. Although there are mushrooms that can be used as medicine in hell...but no matter how I look at it...well, it feels poisonous.

It grows out of the dead.

By the way, if half of the snapdragons raised by the ghost lamp wither or grow poorly, they will be dried and used for refining medicine.It is said that it can refresh the mind and strengthen the Yang.

... Ding Xiaocao doubts whether these two people have some ulterior motive in their study of Chinese medicine.

"Mr. Ghost Lamp, why are you so enthusiastic about snapdragons?" And it also attracted a lot of snapdragon fans.

"...Maybe it's because..." Gui Deng touched his chin with one hand holding a paper bag containing various medicinal materials and looking up at the sky, he replied for a long time, "Maybe it's because he doesn't know the meaning of existence."

"Eh?" Sure enough, it was a ghost lamp answer, Ding Xiaocao seemed to understand or not.

"Things that don't understand the meaning of existence sometimes make people feel very concerned, don't they?" Ghost Lamp raised a finger and said, "Unknowingly doing some strange and meaningless things is also a reasonable behavior."

"It feels... so difficult to understand, but it seems that sometimes I will do strange things that don't make sense... For example, when I was in college, the obsessive-compulsive disorder likes to count the test papers..." Although it is better now, I feel that I It's almost turning into a counting scroll.Ding Xiaocao silently wiped away her sweat.

"That's because you're still young." Ghost Lamp concluded like an old lady.

...Why is it still young.Ding Xiaocao couldn't complain.And isn't this answer the answer given by her parents when she asked her parents "Where do I come from?"!

Teacher, are you really a real man by copying and pasting directly? !

brave troops

That was a long, long time ago story.

Well, just like what many stories say at the beginning, it was a story "a long, long time ago", so long that even the protagonist of the story didn't know how long it had passed.

What we want to talk about is Pixiu.At that time, he was still called "Tianlu" or "Exorcism". As time went by, his name gradually changed to "Pixiu". Of course, some people say that "Pixiu" is the name of a race. How to put it, Pixiu has always respected his unique way of life.

The nature of the dead money and the granddaddy of all creatures known as "iron cocks."And not ashamed but proud.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of liking money! There's nothing to be ashamed of!" Pixiu, who is holding a gold ingot, will more or less attract money to him, such as "iron rooster", "only in and out", and "death for money". Jin Bao's nature is full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and he doesn't care about it. He wholeheartedly talks with his little Qianqian about the love that will last forever and never break up.

Back then, he was just a beast, and other divine beasts went to heaven and earth everywhere to cause trouble, or pick up girls everywhere, or accidentally heard other people's voices and knocked him half to death. Since then, he never believed in love, or He was so drunk that he almost ate the moon from Chang'e's house next door as a cake... Waiting endlessly, Pixiu adhered to the principle of not caring about anything else as long as he had a small amount of money, and became the most stable life among the group of mythical beasts one.

This kind of character who sleeps with gold ingots in his arms, and whose bed is made of pearls, gems, and jade, is not afraid of panic, and wholeheartedly builds his lair into a treasure cave that blinds people's eyes. There is only one Pixiu in the sky. It's just a beast.

But even if he has the little money he loves, Pixiu will be in a bad mood, especially when a certain mythical beast fails to borrow money from him and spread rumors everywhere. After he fled in front of the emperor and was sealed as a chrysanthemum, it is probably because this legend is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Afterwards, all the rumors in the world were basically "Pixiu is a mythical beast that attracts wealth and treasure, because the chrysanthemum is sealed, so it can only enter and not exit." Such——Pixiu, who has just transformed into a human form, expressed displeasure.

"It's impossible to tell us to take off our pants for others to see." Pixiu, who always thought that he was more moral than Bai Ze, thought it would be a sad thing for others to see chrysanthemums, "We don't pick up soap. "Of course, I won't let the little girl see it either.What a shame.

I don't know when, Pixiu found that he has more and more incense in the world, and every morning he gets a small amount of money to take!He rubbed his chin, made up his mind, and decided that he would not explain Bai Ze's rumors for the small money called incense money that he could get every morning, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't see Bai Ze and put his money away. He beats up.

"Sure enough, let's lend him some money." Pixiu folded his arms and nodded, "Then count him as usury." A good brother indeed.Pixiu is almost identical to his brother Yazi in one respect.

The time of the divine beast passes very quickly, and hundreds of years will pass in the blink of an eye. Pixiu hardly cares about anything other than small money, until he goes to the world at that time.

Since then he has never returned to heaven.

Pixiu can't remember the exact time, but he only remembers that day seemed to be the New Year's Eve for ordinary people, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers was everywhere, so noisy that he couldn't sleep, so he sat on the steps and looked at the "people" Creatures scurrying up and down the street.

Then a sugar figurine was handed to him.

"Whose family are you a child, why haven't I seen you here?" The little girl who now doesn't even remember her name and appearance said to him.

Pixiu looked at her like an idiot, but in exchange she thought he was an idiot, so she forced the sugar figurine to him, "Here, here you are." Then she ran away again.

Pixiu can't remember what happened afterwards, but...

Now he is lying on the roof and looking at the gray sky of hell expressionlessly, "Hey, for a sugar man, I have made a town house beast for hundreds of years, who else is such a pragmatic and deceitful beast besides us?" Ah." Pixiu no longer remembers how he became the guardian animal of that family, he only remembers that the family seems to have him as the guardian beast, and the business is getting better and better, but he no longer remembers what he did for Why do you want to be the beast of this family's town house?

Probably because...that little girl always bothers him?

"Why is Pixiu called Pixiu instead of Cobbler?"

"We are not Pixiu but Pixiu."

"Don't Pixiu want sugar cakes? My dad made them, they're delicious."

"We don't like that, it's too sweet." We like gold ingots.

"Pixiu, my mother is sick, and I have to help the house with work, so I won't come to play with you."

"It doesn't matter to us." If you don't come, why don't you come?

"Pixiu. Are you in a bad mood?"

"We were ridiculed by that pig Bai Ze." Lolita accuses your sister!

"How can a pig laugh at people...?"

"You do not understand."

"Pixiu Pixiu."

"what?"

"When you grow up, will you marry me as your wife?"

"Puff cough cough cough!!!!!!" Choked us to death!Whose little girl is so shameless!

And then... what happened after that?Pixiu silently took out a stack of Ruanmei coins from his sleeve and began to count the money, "One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred..."

And then..."I can't remember." He counted the small money in his hand over and over again, but still didn't remember it, and finally chose to give up.

The life of a divine beast is too long, too long, so long that the life of a human being is less than a fraction, so long that it can almost forget everything.

"What happened later...?" He heard a voice say beside him, "Later, the mother of a certain little girl who wanted to marry Wannian Zhengtai Shenshou as his wife died of illness, and my father's business was getting worse and worse. Not good, a certain soft-hearted and innocent stupid animal just like this became someone's town house animal, even if the little girl got married later, died, and reincarnated several times, he is still cosplaying the stone sculpture in place. "Bai Ze shook the wine gourd in his hand, "A candy man can fool you away, and you still say you are not a lolicon."

"What do you know?" Pixiu muttered as he took Bai Ze's wine gourd and took a sip, "We just wanted to become a town house beast because of the potential in that family and the fact that it would make us a lot of money. Bless you." It has been in their family for hundreds of years, and at the beginning, there was no less money for offering incense every year."

"Then they forgot about you."

"That's something that can't be helped." Pai Yao said with his hands on his head, "It's been too long, even we will forget it, let alone human beings." He sat up and looked forward to his legs, "But to be honest, if you continue like this , we can't guarantee that those little girls who are made to cry by you won't chop you up."

"...Can you not mention this?" Bai Ze drew a black line on his face, "It's rare to come to see you for a drink." He paused, and asked with a delicate expression, "Did you find that little girl later? "

"No."

"Eh?!"

"So what if you find it, we're not the kind of people who are shameless." So what if you find it, should the future generations be responsible for their past lives?It doesn't make sense at all.Pixiu raised his head and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. At that time, he was also like this, squatting in someone's ancestral hall, cosplaying the stone carving with his head held high, dutifully in front of the town house beast.

but……

"It's all happened hundreds of years ago, what's the point of mentioning it." He stretched and jumped off the roof, "We're about to open, hurry up and get off the roof."

That’s right, it’s been hundreds of years, so why mention the past?

People always have to look forward.

Pixiu clasped his arms and patted the little money in his pocket. Today he must work hard for the little money.

But before that...

"Excuse me, here is a candy man."
