Demon in the world

In the old Chinese medicine shop, Mr. Jin is turning over the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum in the courtyard, and an old-fashioned tape recorder is playing Peking Opera beside him, with a very leisurely look.There were two knocks on the door, and Mr. Jin closed his eyes and pretended not to hear the climax of the song.

The people outside obviously had no patience. They quickly turned over from the high wall inlaid with shards of glass, walked up to him and said calmly, "Old man, what are you doing? You can't even hear the knock on the door."

Mr. Jin seemed to wake up suddenly, clasped his hands together and said, "Oh, it turns out to be the Seventh Highness and the Eighth Highness."

Ouyang Fei waved his hand, "Don't come to this empty ceremony, the second brother asked us to get the information of the Five Flavors Alliance."

Mr. Jin invited them into the room, took out a small three-finger-wide scroll from the red plum vase, and offered it respectfully with both hands.

"Is there nothing else?" Ouyang Fei asked half-believingly, and opened it after getting Mr. Jin's approval, and found that there was only a light gray floating cloud pattern on the scroll, but there was not even a single word.

Fu Xin also picked it up and turned it over a few times, wondering: "There's nothing here, are you kidding us?"

"No," Mr. Jin stroked his beard and smiled, "This scroll will only work when we arrive at Sikong Island."

"I hope so, thank you." Ouyang Fei knew that this Mr. Jin always liked to play tricks, so he put away the scroll suspiciously and was about to leave.

He only took two steps but was stopped by Mr. Jin from behind, he showed a hesitant expression, and said: "Your Highness, no matter what the purpose of your trip is, it is a merit to rescue those innocent people who were captured One thing, please be sure to remind the Second Highness not to commit any crimes."

If his words were told to people who heard them clearly, it might have some effect, but Ouyang Fei was cruel and self-willed by nature, so he would not take such words to heart at all, and strode away just as if he hadn't heard them.

After the gate was closed, Mr. Jin said: "Natural nature is hard to change. If there is a cause, there will be an effect. Everything is predestined, and no one can escape... Today's world is indeed not the world of us monsters. It is pitiful!"

Ouyang Fei returned to Xi Feng's residence, and saw that Ah Jiu and Zhan Xiaoqian had returned with a full load, and they were sitting together smiling and chatting.

Wen Renchu ​​took the blank scroll, but was also puzzled, "Does Mr. Jin have anything else to say?"

Fu Xin was about to repeat the reminder, but Ouyang Fei preempted him by saying, "No." He could only swallow the words he hadn't said yet.

Wen Renchu ​​thought for a moment, put the scroll in his palm, and slowly glanced over the people, "Sikong Island is a mysterious and mobile island, and it is not easy to find it in the sea, so we will have to go for a long time this trip, and we can't bear the life at sea. Please go back as soon as possible."

Dongfangqi waved his wide sleeves and said excitedly: "I'm going, I'm going, it's said that the fish in the western waters are particularly plump!"

Zhan Xiaoqian hummed resentfully, "I have spent all my money, and you still want to drive me away."

Xi Feng smiled to smooth things over, "Okay, everyone, eat something first, and then we can set off when it gets dark." Such a large group of people, even traveling as a human being, is too eye-catching, not to mention the time is tight now, They wanted a quick victory, so they left under the cover of night.

In the evening, Ah Jiu made another sumptuous dinner, and everyone started to prepare for the journey after they were full.

Wen Renchu ​​summoned the Chongming Bird, and several people sat on it, which was a bit crowded. Ah Jiu turned into a beast and lay down in Wen Renchu's arms, the fur huddled into a ball, which made Zhan Xiaoqian want to reach out and stroke it several times.But he knew that Wenren Chu didn't want to see him now, and he was even more worried that he would kick himself off the bird's back if he got annoyed, so he didn't dare to be as presumptuous as he was on land.

The Chongming bird spread its wings about two feet wide, and it flew through the clouds very quickly.

It was almost early morning, and they came to the desolate west coastline. In the night, there were only a few lights floating far away, and the rest of the place was completely dark.The sea was like a crazy monster, roaring and slapping the stones with all its strength, as if showing off its muscles and arm strength, and the water splashed and shook the sky and the ground when it was hit hard.

Xi Feng closed his eyes, let the cold sea breeze blow over his face, and murmured: "This long-lost feeling is really nostalgic."

They have lived in the city for a long time, gradually getting used to the steps of human life, commuting to get off work at two o'clock and one line, and going to bars for entertainment on weekends, the busy world has sealed their original appearance a little bit.But in this desolate land with long nights, I found that the wildness and freedom that I admire in my bones are still there, and it still makes my blood boil.

Tens of thousands of years ago, they could hunt freely in the mountains, roam and play freely in the sea, and fly high in the sky freely...

There is an ocean in the memory of every dragon child. Wenren Chu killed tens of thousands of people in the East China Sea during the demon battle. The hearty feeling still makes people yearn for it.

When Xi Feng was young, he often led several younger brothers to steal the fish caught by those fishermen, secretly dig holes in their nets, and sneak out of the water to scare the merchants.

When Dongfang Qi was an adult, the Dragon King often took him to browse famous mountains and oceans, and to hang out at the houses of some uncles in Bibo Palace, and he always got a lot of good things from them.

Zhan Xiaoqian played in the pile of pearls since he was a child. When he was an adult, the old dragon king gave him an independent palace, even the roof was made of pure gold, and the coral tree in the yard was about several feet high.

Ouyang Fei carried Fu Xin, who was still unable to speak, to find the black dragon in the deep water every now and then, and tricked it onto the stone pillar, making it circle after circle and connecting its head and tail together so that it could not move.

Every year, Fu Xin receives all kinds of dolls from shrimp soldiers and crab generals. He hides in the crevices of the stone and secretly looks at the beautiful and flowery second lady of the river god...

It's been too long since those memories, but they have never been forgotten.

Ah Jiu has never experienced these things. He was raised by humans since he was born, so he can't feel the sadness of the passage of time, but he can intuitively feel the depression that flows among his brothers.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Renchu ​​finally said, "Don't be in a daze, the business is important."

His voice broke the quiet and nostalgic atmosphere. Xi Feng smiled, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his forehead, and there was a gold mask engraved with blue phoenix patterns on his handsome face. It also grows at an unbelievable speed. It is only tied on the top of the head with a wide white ribbon, and the two ends hang down and be caught in the black hair, flying with the wind.

Ah Jiu stretched his neck, but only saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his white and jade-like pointed chin raised arrogantly, and the smile that usually seemed gentle was now a bit weird and evil.

Seeing that Ah Jiu was in a daze, Xi Feng waved his long sleeves, stretched out two slender fingers from them, and tapped on his forehead, "Little fool."

Ah Jiu secretly rejoiced that she was now in the body of a beast, otherwise her face would be so red that she couldn't see it when she turned back into a human form!

Wenren Chu lightly pursed his lower lip, and immediately changed into the appearance that Ah Jiu had seen in Wuji Mountain, with purple robes and begonia red cloak, brows and eyes shining like pearls, and seeing Ah Jiu staring at him intently, he felt a little more comfortable some.

After Ouyang Fei changed, the scar on his brow became more and more obvious, and the saber with the iron chain became smaller, wrapped around his index finger like a small pendant, supporting Fu Xin with a disgusted expression on his face.

Zhan Xiaoqian wore a festive red robe, with patterns of copper coins embroidered on the skirt, and a series of golden thread ingots floating on the hem.A string of dazzling pearls hung around his neck, making his smiling baby face even more cute and playful.

Ouyang Fei lightly tugged at the large strings of coral beads on his wrist, and said, "Fifth Brother, haven't you heard that wealth is not revealed?" He was just joking, but Zhan Xiaoqian immediately put away his smiling face when he heard this, and backed away vigilantly In two steps, stretch the sleeves to cover up the handles firmly.

Ah Jiu watched it interestingly, her eyes slowly rested on Dongfang Qi, and asked curiously, "Fourth brother, why haven't you changed?"

Dongfang Qi rolled up his sleeves and said leisurely: "I have always looked like this, and I am also dressed like this."

As the saying goes, if you are very beautiful, you must be a monster, and the appearance of a monster is very deceptive to human beings. Bai Ze once strictly ordered everyone to restrain their monster aura and not to reveal their real body at will.Dongfang is an oddity among alternatives. He himself is not strong in demon power. In addition, he learned yin and yang from a warlock, and he also has a little bit of immortality. Although he has white hair and silver eyes and looks a little weird, he is accepted and liked by most human beings.So he relied on his own advantages and often went to food festivals, tourism festivals and other places to eat and drink for free.

At this time, they have all changed back to their original appearance, and their appearance showed a different kind of demon rule that is different from that of human beings. Xi Feng saw the doubt in Ajiu's eyes, and took the initiative to explain with a smile: "Only by completely releasing the demon energy, after the incident Combat power can be maximized, and we are taking precautions before they happen, so we travel in advance.” After speaking, he took out a crystal clear crystal clam from his sleeve and threw it into the sea. It grew to two or three meters wide, and after the scallops slowly opened, several people jumped in one by one.

There were dozens of strings of red bead curtains hanging inside, and after Wen Renchu ​​brought it in, Ah Jiu discovered that there was something strange inside.It's like a big antique house, with tables and couches, and tea sets and chess boards are neatly placed on the middle table.Even with a few more people, the place is not crowded at all.

After the clam shell is tightly closed, it floats on the sea like a boat, and there is nothing inside from the outside.But looking out from the inside, you can see the surging sea water and rapids, and even the birds in the gray sky can be seen at a glance.

Ah Jiu turned around curiously, and found that everyone had already sat down to drink tea, so he took out some snacks from the Qiankun bag to share, only Dongfang Qi and Fu Xin picked them up, and the three of them ate with gusto.It was late at night, and Wen Renchu ​​asked Fu Xin to observe the surroundings, while the others all leaned on the pillows and closed their eyes to rest.

Ajiu was so excited that she couldn't sleep, so she was afraid of disturbing everyone's rest, so she sat outside the bead curtain with Fu Xin and Dongfang Qi. The big clam shell was smooth and slippery all around, but soft as if it was covered with a layer of fine dust.The three sat down and chatted to Yue while eating corn dumplings.

Ah Jiu glanced outside from time to time, and said with emotion: "This big clam shell is still swimming really fast."

Fu Xin proudly said: "Of course, this is our East China Sea clam king. There were originally two, one male and one female, but the male one was swallowed by the crack of time during the demon battle. That one was bigger than this one, And it will change color when encountering the enemy, and I feel sorry when I think about it.”

Dongfang Qiyi stuffed three into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, and he squeaked, "I tried to summon it, but I couldn't. Once it enters the crack of time, nothing can come back. Remember At that time, Xiaoqian cried for several days."

When Ah Jiu heard them talking about the past, she said excitedly: "Fourth Brother, Brother Xin, please tell me about the past!"

"In the past," Fu Xin paused, but he didn't continue for a long time. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "Actually, there's nothing to say."

Dongfangqi pretended not to hear, and quickly stuffed a dumpling into his mouth.

Seeing that they didn't want to mention it, Ah Jiu didn't dare to bother anymore. After sitting together for a while, Ah Jiu leaned on Fu Xin and slowly fell asleep.

Dongfangqi ate the rest of the dumpling, looked at his peaceful sleeping face like a baby with his chin resting on his face, and said to himself, "I'd rather be like you and know nothing about the past."

Fu Xin looked at him with a strange expression, "Fourth brother, you are not suitable for speaking in this tone at all."

"Really?" Dongfangqi rolled up his sleeves and reluctantly carried Ah Jiu into the room.He seemed to be struggling, but he controlled the strength very lightly. Ah Jiu slapped his mouth lightly twice, but he was not woken up.

It's boring to say a few words and leave.Fu Xin sat on the ground alone, pillowing his arms in every possible way. He began to hate his very normal work and rest time for the nth time, and sighed in a drawn out voice: "It's been a long night, I can't sleep alone... sleep..."

When he finished uttering the last word, he suddenly heard something, turned over alertly and sat up and looked around, and finally saw a bunch of dark clouds flying from the western sky.The cloud kept changing its shape, and there were many red dots hidden in it.After observing for a while, his heart beat violently, those were not clouds at all!It was the group of gargoyle bats he had seen in Taoyuan before!

Bats have limited arm strength and cannot fly too far like seabirds. Since they appear in large numbers, it means that Sikong Island is also hidden nearby!

Fu Xin tapped the wall a few times with his fingers, and the clamshell immediately opened its mouth, and Fu Xin took the opportunity to jump out.The surface of the clam shell was as smooth as porcelain, but he was not affected at all by squatting on it.On the endless sea, clam shells are as small as dust and fine sand, being wrapped and beaten by the raging waves from time to time, fluctuating.

Fu Xin's body was drenched quickly, but his eyes seemed to be getting brighter and brighter as the stars dripping in the dark night, and an unusual excitement overflowed his face.

The swarm of bats soon came to the front of the shell. Fu Xin opened his mouth and suddenly turned into a beast body, with two sharp fangs exposed from the corners of his mouth. His hands soaked in the sea water also turned into iron hooks and sharp claws. A hard shell full of barbs protrudes, like a golden armor, tightly protecting his body, leaving only the head and tail to move freely outside.

When the sea wind and huge waves attacked again, it moved suddenly, leaping vigorously into the sky, and four white auspicious clouds suddenly appeared under its feet, carrying it towards the gargoyle like a bolt of lightning.
