After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

The bamboo house was burned, and the boy was justifiably pestering him.

Lu Yingjiu had never seen this kind of battle before, and she slandered, she was not a beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a flower, what was this young man so obsessed with?

The dark horse rattled away.

It has good foot strength, travels hundreds of miles a day without getting tired, and is extremely human, and can trust the horse most of the time.In this way, they walked through one after another of hills, stepped on one after another of clear streams, and at noon, the two shared dry food, took a short rest and continued on their way.

Finally in the evening, they came to a lively town.

People coming and going in the town don't know what they are celebrating. There are lanterns and festoons everywhere, and there is a lot of people.

There are probably ghost exorcists in such a crowded place.

The two dismounted.

Lu Yingjiu drew a piece of talisman paper, folded it into the shape of a paper crane, and put it in the young man's hand.

"What is this?" the boy asked.

He looked at the paper crane in his hand.It is lifelike, delicate and exquisite, and the talisman paper is twisted and twisted to wrap around the wings, like a feather pattern.

"The talisman paper that can hide the yin energy on your body." Lu Yingjiu said with a smile, "Of course, you have to return it to me when you leave this town."

This talisman is not easy to give to ghosts.

The talisman paper he drew was powerful, and after the young man took the talisman paper, almost all ghost exorcists could not find him—it was extremely dangerous.

The young man nodded.

They entered the town, and fish and dragons danced around.Lu Yingjiu asked someone to ask, only to find out that according to the local customs, there will be a full three days of banquets to welcome the midsummer.

The young man looked left and right.

The light from the lantern fell on his dark eyes, it was radiant.It was rare for him to see such a lively scene. Passers-by rubbed shoulders with them, touched each other by chance, and could feel the scorching body temperature.

Humans used to be so warm.he thought.

After Lu Yingjiu finished asking about the situation, he turned around and said to him, "It's time, let's find a restaurant. What do you like to eat?"

The boy shook his head: "I've only ever drank plain porridge."

Lu Yingjiu laughed and took him into the most popular restaurant along the road.

The restaurant was buzzing with people.

The two went to the second floor and sat down. Lu Yingjiu ordered food and looked up. The boy across the table was still staring at him intently.

Lu Yingjiu asked, "You don't have a name, don't you even know your own surname and birthday?"

"I don't know." The boy said, "I've been in that mountain range as long as I can remember."

"So that's how it is..." Lu Yingjiu pondered for a moment, "I think you are probably not the soul of the living, but a priest."

The boy froze for a moment: "What's the difference?"

"To put it simply, you were born from the yin energy of the ghost world, and you have your own responsibilities in the dark." Lu Yingjiu said, "Of course, there are actually many priests, some are powerful and some are weak. all the same."

Boy: "Oh..."

Lu Yingjiu said again: "Do you know where you were born? For example, if you were born in the daytime of the ghost world, then your strength will be more masculine, similar to a sun-wandering god; Born in the mountains of the ghost world, that is the priest in charge of the mountains."

But according to his speculation, with the young man's temperament and means, he might be the kind of killer.

Extremely hostile, born from the swords, guns, swords and halberds of the battlefield.

The boy thought for a long time, and replied: "I only vaguely remember seeing a tree of white flowers before."

"White flowers?" Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a moment.

Flower ghosts are generally charming and beautiful.

But he thought about it again, when he was riding a horse, he always smelled the cold fragrance from the boy's body - said it was a flower fragrance, it seemed to be somewhat similar.

A god of death born from flowers.

Thinking about it carefully, it still has a bit of romantic color.

Lu Yingjiu took a sip of tea, and heard the boy continue to say: "I thought about it, I should be the priest in charge of marriage."

Lu Yingjiu almost choked on a sip of water.

God damn marriage.

Are you sending the mandarin ducks to meet the king of Hades?How much this child misunderstood himself...

He looked away and coughed a few times, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." The boy was very serious, "I didn't want anything at first, but now I know, I want to get married."

Lu Yingjiu was silent for a while, and then said: "No, you must be the god of death."

"Ah." The young man was stunned for a few seconds, "I don't want to be a god of killing, I want to care about marriage."

"No, you can't control it." Lu Yingjiu vetoed it in one gulp.

The young man was very disappointed: "Who is the priest in charge of marriage? I'm going to kill him and take the throne myself."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Lu Yingjiu: "...you really are a killer!"

While talking, Xiao Er came with dishes.

Emerald white jade soup, lightly cut meat slices, green vegetable dumplings and steamed sea bass...

Although it was only eaten by two people, the table was full and it was piping hot.

The boy picked up the chopsticks clumsily and picked up a piece of fish.

It melts at the entrance.

The scallion fragrance explodes in the mouth with the umami taste of fish, delicate and smooth, delicious.

"How is it?" Lu Yingjiu asked him.

"...Delicious." The boy nodded, "It's delicious."

Lu Yingjiu smiled: "Then eat more. I can't cook this kind of delicious food. If you follow me, you won't often have good food in the future."

Most ghosts don't eat or drink, relying on Yin Qi is enough.

But when the delicious food is put in front of you, I am afraid that neither a human nor a ghost can refuse it.

The young man tasted every dish, ups and downs, all tastes he had never experienced before.

But while eating, he looked up again.

Lu Yingjiu drank the soup slowly - he had been drinking this small bowl of soup for a long time.He has little interest in food, and eating out of restaurants is purely for teenagers.

The boy asked, "Why don't you eat?"

"I eat less." Lu Yingjiu said, "You don't have to worry about me."

The boy's chopsticks paused.

He really wanted to add food to Lu Ying's wine, and put the fattest fish and the most delicious slices of meat in his bowl.

But this is too intimate, Lu Yingjiu may not like it.

He lowered his head, poked the dumplings carelessly with his chopsticks, but he didn't take any action.

The light outside the window flickered on and off, Lu Yingjiu was distracted and unconsciously looked out of the window.

Lu Yingjiu didn't wear white clothes today, but a dark blue shirt and a dark red robe.What clothes he wears are suitable and good-looking. This body is a little less fairy-like, but a little more stunning, like a kid from a rich family traveling, lazy, casual and luxurious.

The boy secretly watched Lu Yingjiu while eating.

The food is delicious and the people are nice.

It's a pity that he didn't care about the marriage, otherwise he would have taken a red thread to tie them tightly.

After drinking and eating, the two rested at the inn for one night.

Lu Yingjiu originally wanted to buy a horse for the boy, but the boy refused for some reason.

——When he refused, his eyes fluttered, his ears turned red, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But anyway, the ghost is not too heavy, at most it is a little squeezed when riding a horse.He didn't force it either, and went with the boy.

When the sky turned pale on the second day, they set off on horseback and continued eastward.

Just stop and go.

Sometimes for several days in a row, they can only eat and sleep in the open air, eating dry food; sometimes they can pass by the bustling town, eat, drink and rest.

After traveling for more than half a month, the two became acquainted, and there were endless topics to talk about every day.

The so-called hit it off, that's it.

They have known each other for only a few days, but they seem to have known each other for many years.Although the young man is a ghost, for the first time in his life, he truly experienced what it means to be "alive".

To be alive is food, celebration and a rising fire.

Life is clear sky and rainstorm, wilderness and busy city, river and mountain.

To be alive is the thin green brushed by the antlers in the mountains, the endless words and endless starry sky during the journey every day.

Until a towering snow mountain appeared in front of them.At the foot of the mountain is a large expanse of lush cedars, with tall dark gray trunks and shiny green pine needles.

The place Lu Yingjiu was going to was a small village in the mountains.

Because of the remoteness of this village, few ghost exorcists are willing to come here. In recent months, evil spirits have appeared again.He rushed over after hearing the news.

At the foot of the mountain, they saw a path in the snow, leading gently to the mountain, leading to a faint wisp of cooking smoke.

It should be stepped on by the villagers.

The two rode up the mountain, and soon came to a slightly steep place, then dismounted and walked forward.Lu Yingjiu was leading the black horse, when he suddenly heard the boy say "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" he asked back.

In the boy's hand is a handful of fresh snow.

He was surprised: "Snow is so cold."

This was the first time he had seen ice and snow.

"I had the same reaction as you when I saw Xue for the first time." Lu Yingjiu said with a smile, "There are many novel things in this world. If you have the heart, you can experience them all."

The boy opened his fingers, and the snow fell out from between his fingers.He asked: "...will you go with me?"

"Maybe." Lu Yingjiu said.

This is not an affirmative answer, and the teenager is a little disappointed.

He didn't show any emotion, he stepped on the snow and followed Lu Yingjiu closely.

He thought to himself, as expected, let's get rid of the rotten priest who is in charge of the marriage, and it's today.

After another stick of incense, the two arrived at the village at noon.

As in the previous village, they received a warm welcome.

The villagers boiled hot soup and cooked pasta for them.The weather was cold, and there were fine wines to be sent over, but Lu Yingjiu politely refused.

Their residence is in a secluded part of the village, which has already been tidied up and covered with thick blankets.

Lu Yingjiu went out to chat with the villagers, and when he came back, the boy had already lit the stove to keep warm.

Lu Yingjiu sat down by the fire, stretched out her hands to keep warm, and felt the blood flow faster and faster.

The young man asked him: "Is there really a ghost in this village? I don't feel the yin energy."

"Not yet." Lu Yingjiu said, "But maybe they will appear after dark. This snow-capped mountain is so big, and I don't know how many pedestrians have been buried. It is inevitable that there will be ghosts and ghosts."

The boy nodded: "If they come, I will kill them."

This speech was too in his style, Lu Yingjiu smiled slightly, and just about to tease, his expression suddenly changed.

Something flitted past the window.

Light, agile, as fast as a gust of wind.

By no means human.

The young man also felt it, his brows frowned, and the red light in his eyes carried a cold killing intent.

He has always been very aggressive, and he cannot tolerate other ghosts making trouble in front of him. In addition, he is born with a murderous heart. At this moment, he has conceived a hundred ways to die in his mind.

With a cloud of yin all over his body, he dodged out lightly.

The road flew past under his feet, tens of meters in the blink of an eye, and he saw a strange black figure in the snow.

That's it!

Excitement flashed in the boy's eyes, his nails became sharp, and he was about to leave with his heart——

"stop!"

A bang rang in my ears!

It was Lu Yingjiu's voice, shouting at him.The boy didn't know why, but he stopped instinctively.

In front of him, the strange figure turned back slowly.

It was as tall as two people, with a face that seemed human but not human, pale like a mask, evoking a strange smile.

This……

The boy narrowed his eyes.

It's definitely not a human, but it's not a ghost either.

"call!"

The long whip in the monster's hand was thrown out, and it went straight towards Lu Yingjiu!

The whip is full of barbs, which reflect light ferociously, and the skin will tear apart with the slightest touch.

Sooner or later, a piece of talisman lightly landed on the whip, and it was tangled tightly.The soft paper actually stopped the whip, taking advantage of this gap, Lu Yingjiu flew up, and the dagger was unsheathed!

During the fight, pieces of snow flew randomly, and the two figures were extremely light and fast, with light movements and full strength in their strikes.The walls along the road exploded, tiles and thatch flew randomly, and the blade of the knife rubbed against the long whip, making the sound extremely ear-piercing.

The village exclaimed.The boy stared at them and clenched his fingers tightly.

He really wanted to shoot, he wanted to crush the enemy's head, he wanted to see how the blood stained the ground—just like he did before.

But Lu Ying stopped him from drinking.

Anxiety, anger, and impulsiveness were all mixed together, and he was scratching his head.

Fortunately, this battle is over soon.

Lu Yingjiu cut off the monster's head.Black blood sprayed out and covered the snow.

The tall figure swayed and fell down.

He panted slightly, and just as he shook the blood off the knife, his arms felt heavy.

The boy hugged him tightly.

Lu Yingjiu's hands were dirty, so it's not easy to hug her back, so she could only comfort her: "It's okay, I'm fine."

The boy said in a muffled voice: "...Why didn't you let me do it? What is that monster?"

This time, Lu Yingjiu didn't answer him immediately.

He was silent for a while, and then said: "It's a long story. I'll tell you in detail when I have time."

——This wait is more than ten days.

Lu Yingjiu was busy arranging magic circles and pasting up talisman papers in the village.

Wait until the No. 20 day is approaching, and then there will be a harvest.

There was a heavy snowstorm late that night, the windows were banging, and the stove couldn't keep out the chill that crept in through the door.

A few ghosts transformed from frozen travelers came to the village silently stepping on the pale.

Before they got close, sparks exploded from them.

The talisman paper arranged by Lu Yingjiu was perfect, the flames engulfed the body of the ghosts, and they screamed heart-piercingly.The baby cried at night, and the villagers were frightened, and they put furniture against the doors and windows.

The young man followed Lu Yingjiu closely, followed the firelight, and tore the ghost to pieces.

When the last ghost dispersed, the wind and snow miraculously stopped.

The clouds slowly dissipated.

The people in the village opened the door and looked at the situation carefully, only to see clearly the figure of Lu Yingjiu and burst into cheers!

The village returned to peace, and they had a carnival all night.

Lu Yingjiu didn't really like excitement, so when it was late at night, she found an excuse to go back to her room to rest.He listened to the sound of the wind and fell asleep all night. When he woke up, the sky outside was clear and bright.

After drinking a bowl of hot porridge, the boy hesitated and asked him, "Should we go?"

"Yeah." Lu Yingjiu said, "I'll go down the mountain tomorrow and go to another place."

The boy said, "You haven't told me, what is that monster?"

He has been thinking about it for many days.

Lu Yingjiu said, "Come with me."

They left the village and climbed up the nearby small snow slope.For the first time, Lu Yingjiu brought a jug of wine.

There are several black stones on the top of the slope, where someone had built a fire and made tea before, and there are still remains of the fire on the ground.

There are still some firewood piled next to it.They re-stacked the wood, lit it, and then brushed the snow off the stones and sat facing each other.Lu Yingjiu brought a pot up, and Shengxue put it on the fire to cook.

When the water boiled, the two each held a cup.

One bite down, the warmth spreads.

Holding the cup in both hands, Lu Yingjiu said after a while: "Originally, I swore that I would never tell anyone about this matter. Because those who know the secret will often suffer bad luck."

The boy listened carefully.

Lu Yingjiu looked at him: "But since you are a ghost, the restraints are different from those of the living, so it doesn't matter if you know."

He took a deep breath and said, "The monster that appeared that day was an attendant of Heaven."

"Heaven's servant?" the young man hesitated.

He had never heard of this thing.

"Yeah." Lu Yingjiu nodded, and took another sip of hot water, "They want my life and have been chasing me for more than twenty years."

The boy was taken aback: "Why?"

"That happened a long time ago, and it has something to do with the ghost exorcist family." Lu Yingjiu said, "There are laws between heaven and earth that bind everything in the world. That is the way of heaven. Among them, the Zhang family and the Chu family are the most obsessed with the way of heaven. More than 20 years ago, there was a sacrifice, a... living sacrifice."

I ran out of hot water.

He opened the wine jar and poured out the stale wine, then looked at the young man: "Do you want to drink?"

The young man nodded.

Lu Ying also poured wine for him.

The wine in this village is not known how to make it. It is of average quality, but it is really hot.It can keep the whole body warm even in the blizzard.

Lu Ying drank two small cups of wine, his face was slightly hot, and he continued: "The living sacrifices of that year were not animals, but babies."

The boy paused.

Lu Yingjiu said: "Those two families are so powerful, they colluded with merchants and dignitaries, and they brought 59 babies as sacrifices. The way of heaven respects '59', and the number must not be wrong. The family has been careful in every possible way, but it is still here At the last minute, something went wrong."

"I am the deviation, the accident."

"I was two... maybe three years old, and I was taken there as a sacrifice. But I survived."

"Heavenly Dao didn't get the amount it deserved, and sent anger to Zhang and Chu, causing them to suffer bad luck frequently. At the same time, it also tried to pull me back to my fate of death."

"If I don't die, that sacrifice will never be completed." Lu Yingjiu smiled, "No matter whether it is the aristocratic family or the Dao of Heaven, it will never be allowed."

The young man clenched the cup tightly, with burning anger in his eyes: "Then I will kill them all, no matter what kind of attendant or a shitty family. As long as they are all dead, you will be safe."

"It's not that simple." Lu Yingjiu shook his head, "First of all, the way of heaven cannot be obliterated; secondly, there are many innocent people in the aristocratic family. There are nearly a thousand people in the family. How can they be wiped out? There are also people in the aristocratic family Those who came to hunt me down, the most extreme group, have long since died under my hands."

"There's nothing wrong with it." The young man licked his sharp canine teeth, "If you don't try it, how do you know if you can't kill it or kill it all?"

Lu Yingjiu smiled: "You also said that you are not the priest killed by the Lord."

He raised his head to drink, and said, "I tell you this, not because I want you to help me, but because..."

But because of what?

He paused.

He just said what he wanted to say, and there was no particular reason.

Perhaps for so many years, he was unable to confide this matter to the living. After meeting the young man, he couldn't help telling it.

Still too heavy.

He alone bears the heavy fate of death for so many years.

Lu Yingjiu paused like this for a while, drank the strong wine in the glass, and filled it up for himself.

The boy is still in anger.

Lu Yingjiu said to him: "Don't be angry, I'm telling you this, not because I want to see your expression." He stretched out his hand and patted the boy lightly to comfort him.

The young man was stunned.

This appeasement was extremely effective for him, and the anger in his eyes gradually disappeared.

He drank two glasses of wine in silence, finally calmed down, and said: "There will always be a way."

"Yes." Lu Yingjiu nodded, "There will be a way."

Perhaps, he will never find it in this life.

—he didn't say that.

He continued: "I have spent my whole life running around in order to get rid of my fate. The family who kindly adopted me was killed by a ghost. The friends I had made were suppressed by the family until their wives and children were separated. The greatest ideal in my life is to one day Can slow down."

"Drink good wine, hold the bright moon, and be a wild crane in the clouds. Who doesn't want to live a life of freedom?"

"What's more, there are so many beautiful scenery in the world." He pointed out, "Look back."

The boy followed his gaze.

The ice crystals are shining, the new snow is white, and the towering snow peaks point directly at the washed blue sky.

Unknowingly, they have climbed a lot of distance. The forest sea they once lived in is trampled under their feet and closed in their eyes, while the greenery is still shining in the light, green and powerful.The glacier river rolls through the ice floes, and the water surface streams away, and is trampled to pieces by two white-hoofed deer, and golden light leaps forward.

Farther away, another mountain was surrounded by cumulus clouds.

The sun can't penetrate the heavy clouds, and a large shadow falls on the ridge, making the peaks even more towering and the rocks as rugged as sharp knives.After a few breaths, there was a sudden snow, with a ferocious and gloomy beauty, dancing with the strong wind, heading straight for the sky.

The snow on the mountain does not melt, and the mountain is lush and green.

In the distance, there is a violent snowstorm, and the sky is clear and bright nearby.

The contrast is clear but integrated, which can be called a superb view.

And how many times can you see the superb scenery in your life?

Today they drink in the snow, I am afraid that this scene will never be forgotten every year.

Lu Yingjiu said: "We met by chance, hit it off right away, this fate is fate. The most rare thing in life is the word 'leisure', I can't get it, I just hope you live according to your heart."

The glass was full, and he raised his glass: "Respect the idle clouds and scattered cranes."

The young man stared at him intently, and raised his glass in the same way: "In this world, I have nothing to respect...I only wish you a smooth life, never empty your glass, not be bound by fate, and always have good wine in your bosom."

The wine glasses collided, and the voiceless sound echoed.

When the two of them drank all the spirits, the young man said, "How about my name be 'Jingxian'."

Lu Yingjiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why so suddenly?"

The boy didn't answer.

With his eyes, he carefully traced Guo Lu Yingjiu's eyebrows and eyes, as if he wanted to imprint them into the depths of his soul, and then he reached out to help the snow falling from his soft hair.

He suddenly smiled.

——Thousands of words are in it.
