"Do you know the legend of the Thousand Lantern Festival in this city?" Ji Zhen was sitting on a step, holding a string of candied haws in his hand, staring at the candied haws, picking one out and putting it under the light to see if there were any insects. , the mouth is casual.

For some reason, Xilu followed the girl himself, holding a bunch of candied haws that Ji Zhen bought and stuffed for him, and shook his head in bewilderment: "Which one is the girl talking about?"

After Ji Zhen finished the inspection, he opened his mouth and bit off half a piece of candied haws. The girl smiled and said to the boy, "If you meet and get acquainted in the vast sea of ​​people, it will be a legend of destiny."

Ji Zhen really liked Xilu's dull look, and couldn't help teasing him, "You are the first person I met today, maybe we have a destined destiny."

One duck can be eaten three times, who said that one legend cannot be used three times.

Ji Zhen ate the whole candied haws, his hands were sticky with some sugar, and he couldn't find a place to wipe his hands. Seeing Xilu handing over his clothes for Ji Zhen to wipe his hands, his face was red and he stammered: "Girl, you, don't be joking."

Ji Zhen couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but want to raise his hand to pinch Xilu's cheek. He was about to stretch out his hand, but saw Xilu raised his head and looked into the distance.

Ji Zhen's eyes turned around, and he saw people coming and going, lights and shadows, even small lanterns hung on the treetops, and people were all dressed in fancy clothes, outlining a grand scene.

"What are you looking at?" Ji Zhen asked Xilu.

Xilu looked at the distance for a moment in a daze, and then said: "There seems to be something over there just now..."

"What?" Ji Zhen bit another candied haws.

Xilu pinched his sword, turned his head and said to Ji Zhen in a hurry: "Girl, don't move here, I'll go and have a look."

"What are you going to see?" Ji Zhen stood up and wanted to keep up with Xilu. He tried to stand up with his hands, but as soon as he touched the ground, he felt dust on his fingertips.Ji Zhen raised his hand and saw that the place where there were sugar stains was already sticky, but now it is dusty and dirty.

Ji Zhen pushed his hand out in disgust, and saw that Xilu had already walked into the crowd, not knowing which direction he was going.

Ji Zhen was also not easy to chase, so he just sat down and continued to eat candied haws slowly, while thinking about what Xilu said just now.

What is the sign that the big monster is about to form...?

Ji Zhen looked up at the sky.Compared with the noisy world, the night sky is dark and quiet.Light and darkness seemed to be divided into a clear dividing line, and the stars disappeared at some point.

Chewing slowly in Ji Zhen's mouth, his eyes fell back to the world. He sat alone, watching everyone from the perspective of a bystander. Their smiles and faces were all vivid and vivid.

If it is said that the human heart has desires and desires turn into demonic thoughts, is it true that what is concealed under the surface is really outdated?Ji Zhen thought of the blood demon, and for a moment his vision flashed through the imagination of pedestrians suddenly revealing their true colors.

Ji Zhen couldn't help shaking his head, throwing that imagination out of his mind.

If it is said that having desires in the heart is a demon, it would be too arrogant and general. The key to becoming a demon is not whether there is desire in the heart, but how to indulge one's desires without restraint, regardless of right or wrong.

There is always an incentive to become a demon. The blood demon becomes a demon to gain strength and maintain an aging life, and Wang Shu becomes a devil because of a distorted desire for revenge.Apart from being born a demon, becoming a demon later in life has never been easy.Either be tempted by desire, or degenerate into a demon.

Ji Zhen couldn't sort out a clue in his mind, and he didn't have any special opinion about it at first, but he just passed the time to think about it.

He picked up the bamboo stick, stared at the last candied haws on it, and raised his hand to bite half of it. Suddenly, he felt a cool breeze blowing, blowing his hair back across his cheeks and onto his eyelids .

There was a numbness in the eyelids, Ji Zhen squinted his eyes, and stretched out his hand to fiddle with those few strands of hair behind his ears, just as soon as he squinted, a person stood in front of Ji Zhen's eyes.

He rubbed his eyelashes, opened his eyelids to look at the person coming, and saw a man in Tsing Yi standing in front of him, looking at him with a very gentle smile through the mask.

"Do you like this?" The man said, his voice was as warm and gentle as a spring breeze, which made people feel warm all over their bodies.

Ji Zhen's fingertips holding the candied haws loosened, and the bamboo stick fell to the ground, but Ji Zhen couldn't take his eyes off the half of the candied haws that fell on the ground, and looked up at the man in Tsing Yi.

Half of his mind is still confused, and half of him is puzzled and curious, trying to distinguish the current situation in his heart.

Then I heard the man in Tsing Yi say: "Have you heard the legend of the Thousand Lantern Festival?"

The familiar lines came out of the stranger's mouth, like a wake-up call, which made Ji Zhen clear his head, and uttered three words in embarrassment, "It's a lie."

The whole thing he wanted to say was that it was a hoax.I have used it three times, what are you talking about now?

However, there were only three words left after the words came out, and Ji Zhen sensed that something was wrong, and he wanted to stand up and stay away from the man in Tsing Yi.But he exerted great strength and felt that he had stood up, but when he rolled his eyes, he saw that he was still sitting firmly on the spot without moving.

Ji Zhen opened his lips, but only let out a soft ah, no amount of words could be said.

"It's not a lie," the man in Tsing Yi said to Ji Zhen with a good temper, "because I've been trying to find it every year."

Under Ji Zhen's surprised gaze, the man in Tsing Yi went on to say, "I've only searched for hundreds of years, and it's hard to find someone like her. It's hard to find a beautiful woman. I only hope that you can be with me, otherwise it will be another In vain, I can only abandon you."

Ji Zhen's heart beats nervously and rapidly.

This man in Tsing Yi is obviously not a human being, and his behavior is very disrespectful to himself.There may be more than one or two young girls who were kidnapped and abandoned by him. What happened to them all?

It's okay if he throws it aside and doesn't care, but at worst he runs back, what if he kills him directly?

The face of the man in Tsing Yi approached Ji Zhen, his eyebrows were very handsome, his fingertips traced a gentle touch along Ji Zhen's chin, which should have been a very intimate movement, but it brought out a delicate and dense movement on Ji Zhen's body. goosebumps.

He seems to have turned into a commodity that is being looked at, displayed on the shelves to be scrutinized at will.

If Ji Zhen could move at this time, he would have jumped up early in the morning to fight the person in front of him, but he couldn't move or speak at this time, it was like a soul being thrown into a puppet, except for the existence of sight and senses, everything else Can't control myself.

"This world is not a good place, and the sky will change soon," the man in Tsing Yi pulled Ji Zhen up, "I might as well take you to the Devil Realm to be free."

Ji Zhen was supported by his arms around the waist, he felt that he really became a puppet doll, his hands and feet could not be controlled by himself, and the man in Tsing Yi manipulated him to hold the other's arm, leaning obediently on the other's side, straight Walked into the downtown crowd.

Ji Zhen went against the flow of people, only felt that the surrounding scenery was receding away from him, and the sounds from the outside world were also far away.It was as if he had been sunk to the bottom of the water and was listening to the people on the shore.

"The little monk is back." The man in Tsing Yi turned around slightly with Ji Zhen, allowing Ji Zhen to see Xi Lu. He was not worried that Xi Lu would make any changes to him when he kidnapped Ji Zhen. The voice of the man in Tsing Yi was still gentle and indifferent , even with a bit of laziness.

In Ji Zhen's peripheral vision, Xilu held the sword and went back to the place where they ate candied haws together just now. At this time, he was looking down at the half of candied haws he had dropped on the ground just now. lost.

Ji Zhen was only ten steps away from him at this time, and wanted to call out to Xilu, but he couldn't speak, and couldn't make a sound.

The strength on the shoulders turned again, and he had already been embraced by the man in Tsing Yi and changed his direction, continuing to walk forward.

The man in Tsing Yi talked to Ji Zhen as he walked, "The scenery in this world has been the same for thousands of years. The filth and evil are no different from the devil world, and they are pure and noble,"

Ji Zhen listened carefully to his every word, and calmly exerted all his strength with his fingertips, and slowly untied the purse from his waist.An action that is usually very simple to do, now almost cost Ji Zhen half his life.

The purse fell heavily on the ground, and no one noticed it.

The man in Tsing Yi didn't know whether it was because he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, or because his emotions were high and needed to be expressed, so he could almost chatter, "But maybe it won't be long before this place becomes a demonic realm. If you want to come back then, that's fine."

Ji Zhen successfully dropped the purse, just about to move his fingertips again.

The man in Tsing Yi had already lowered his eyes to look at Ji Zhen, with a smile on his face, he didn't care.

The two stopped in the crowd, and the man in Tsing Yi let go of Ji Zhen and let him stand alone.The man in Tsing Yi put his hands behind his back and said patiently to Ji Zhen: "Don't use up all your strength, it's useless."

As if wanting Ji Zhen to give up completely, the man in Tsing Yi took Ji Zhen to a small stall where the vendor was selling a lot of groceries.

The man in Tsing Yi casually took a small bronze mirror from the booth and handed it to Ji Zhen. Ji Zhen couldn't control his hands, raised his hand to take the bronze mirror, and saw himself in the mirror.

There is still a mask in his sight, but there is nothing on his face in the mirror.Not only that, his appearance is also without the blessing of a ghost mask, but it has become much more ordinary, like an ordinary woman that can be found everywhere in the world.

"Who else can recognize you now?" The voice of the man in Tsing Yi rang in Ji Zhen's ear.

This should be a blindfold.

He couldn't control his movements, couldn't make a sound, and even his appearance was changed by blindfolds.No matter who knows Ji Zhen, who comes here at this time, I'm afraid they won't recognize him.

Ji Zhen felt that he was half cold, so he could only stare fiercely at the man in Tsing Yi.

Ji Zhen felt a little desperate.From his point of view, the man in Tsing Yi has no evil energy in him, he is just an ordinary person.Even the monks who are not in order can't tell, and if the monks can't see it, isn't it over?

The peddler at the side noticed them, and saw that Ji Zhen was holding the mirror tightly in his hand, and hurried forward to sell it: "You two customers, this mirror is a new product from Yicheng, buy one and take it home, the price is very cheap gone."

The peddler lowered his voice and leaned in front of the man in Tsing Yi, as if he was talking about a shocking secret: "If it weren't for something happened to the Chen family, how could it be my turn to sell this batch of goods."

As he spoke, he hinted at the man in Tsing Yi with the eyes that we all took advantage of it.

The man in Tsing Yi's brows were indifferent, and only when he heard the word Chen's family did he show some sarcasm.He really took out his purse to pay, Ji Zhen stood aside obediently holding the mirror, anxious to bite someone.

He tried his best to control his fingertips, and slowly loosened his clenched hand. The mirror slipped from his hand, and fell to the ground with a clang, making a muffled sound.

If this sound was made on a normal day, it would probably attract a lot of attention, but at this time the crowd was lively, but only a few people standing nearby and the peddler who cared about the goods followed the sound and looked over.

The peddler seized the opportunity and said: "Fortunately, you have to buy it, otherwise you will buy it now if you don't buy it, but customers can rest assured that the quality of this product is excellent and it is very resistant to falling."

The man in Tsing Yi didn't bother to pay attention to the peddler's bragging. He paid the money and picked up the mirror and put it on his body casually, and the crowd was pushed out of the way.

People dressed as officers and soldiers are looking for someone.

Ji Zhen's eyes fell on one of the familiar young servants, and there was a flash of hope in his eyes, and he tried to stare at him with wide eyes.

The eyes were the only place he could move freely.

The servant did notice Ji Zhen's gaze, but he just gave Ji Zhen a strange look.Instead, the boy looked at the man in Tsing Yi a few more times, and then looked away in disappointment.

"When will I find my grandfather," the servant lamented in a low voice, but he didn't know that his grandfather was nearby and wanted to slap him on the head.

The man in Tsing Yi was obviously full of confidence and was not in a hurry to leave. He hugged Ji Zhen's back as if to comfort him, "Don't worry, no one will see through."

Ji Zhen was not comforted, and wanted to slap him backhandedly.

The man in Tsing Yi continued to walk forward with Ji Zhen in his arms, and suddenly heard a commotion among the officers and soldiers who had just left, and a voice shouted, "This is my grandfather's purse."

Hearing this, from the corner of Ji Zhen's eyes, he saw his servant holding his purse as if he was winning, rushing past him and running forward, stopped within two steps, and presented the purse to someone.

Ji Zhen tried his best to look through the crowd to find Liang Leng.There were countless heads between the two and the guards blocked it, so it was already very difficult to see Liang Leng.But Ji Zhen thought that he would catch him watching Liang Leng through the window, and he still had some hope for Liang Leng in his heart.

He tried his best to focus all his eyes on Liang Leng, wishing his sight could turn into a sharp knife that could penetrate people.

After all the efforts, Liang Leng seemed to have a gap. He raised his eyes to Ji Zhen's side, and quickly caught Ji Zhen's sight.

Ji Zhen's hope reached its highest point at this moment, hoping that Liang Leng would see something and come to save him.

Liang Leng's gaze was cold and condensed, but he just swept across him, as if he was looking at a tree, a grass or a stone.

Ji Zhen's heart sank a little bit.He has walked this street many times, and a few hundred steps ahead is the city gate, and leaving the city gate is equivalent to leaving the border town.

The man in Tsing Yi paid attention to Ji Zhen's movements and didn't intend to stop him. He indulged him to ask Liang Leng for help, but he just wanted to make Ji Zhen give up. At this point, he let out a chuckle. He stood in front of Ji Zhen and said to Ji Zhen's disappointed eyes. , like the final sentence, reached out and pressed Ji Zhen's head in his arms, and carried him to the city gate.

Ji Zhen almost gave up the idea of ​​resistance, only showing the back of his head, and shut himself off.

A force suddenly landed on his shoulders, Ji Zhen's body was still involuntarily controlled, he was pulled out of the arms of the man in Tsing Yi like a puppet, and slumped back into someone's arms, his waist was tightly bound Hugging, almost embedded in each other's body.

The iron flowers raised by the craftsmen at the gate of the city filled the sky, bursting into bright light in the air, and bursts of cheers and joy burst out from the crowd.

Ji Zhen's nose smelled a familiar, elegant fragrance.

All the anxious, lost, worried, and fearful emotions were pulled back to the ground in an instant from the sky without support. The joy and clamor of emotions made Ji Zhen hug the other person's waist, grievance He yelled: "Jiang Chongguang!"
