That Demon Lord doesn't want to live

The two looked at each other and smiled, Ye Lan pulled Xue Min and ran out of the Jinyu shop, then scurried into the crowd and disappeared after a while, the shopkeeper happily brought out the seed jade tray, only to see it thrown on the counter Ten taels of gold, but the two generous young masters disappeared, and the shopkeeper stomped his feet angrily and returned to the back hall holding the tray.

The night market had been open for half an hour when the two of them came out of the Jinyu shop. Ye Lan dragged Xue Min to the biggest lantern stall and ran over. There is also a book case next to it, with a paperweight pressing the lamp surface without drawing.

Ye Lan squatted in front of the old man and asked, "How much does the old man make a lamp?"

The hand of the old man who tied the lantern kept smiling and replied, "Sanwen, do you want to paint the surface of the lantern yourself, young master?"

Yelan nodded, rolled her eyes and smiled and said, "I'll buy more, can the old man make it cheaper?"

"Young master, you want to buy it for your sweetheart." The old man picked up the made lotus lantern in his hand with a bamboo pole and hung it on the stall. "If you can order twenty, I'll count it fifty cents for you."

Ye Lan patted Xue Min who was squatting beside him and smiled, "Buy it for my younger brother." He pointed to the half-person-high lotus lantern on the stall and asked, "I also want two rabbit lanterns that big. ,OK?"

The old man wiped his hands on the apron around his waist and immediately replied, "No problem, those big ones cost thirty cents more."

Ye Lan took out five taels of silver from Yu Peili and handed it to the old man, "We will choose other styles for the rest."

The old man had just set up his stall when he met such a big customer as Yelan. Even if he put up a sign saying he was out of business, he could buy all the lanterns on his stall for five taels of silver.

The old man took out the paint on the lamp surface and handed it to Ye Lan, "Young master, paint first, and the old man will tie the two rabbit lamps for you."

Ye Lan said Xie, took Xue Min to sit on the desk and handed him the brush, "Draw what you like, and when the old man makes a lamp, we will hang it in the yard."

Xue Min held the pen and did not move for a long time, Ye Lan put the ink stick in his hand on the inkstone and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xue Min looked at Ye Lan nervously. During those years when he was imprisoned in Xupan Mountain, he had read books and practiced calligraphy, but painting was horrible. During these years, he missed Ye Lan every day and always wanted to draw a pen to describe his life. In the end, the portraits were all painted into ink balls. It was obvious that the pen was very obedient when writing, but when he picked up the pen to paint, Xue Min's hand seemed to have his own consciousness and did not listen to him at all.

Seeing his helpless look, Ye Lan immediately walked up behind him and held his pen-holding hand, "It's okay, brother will take you to draw."

Xue Min immediately smiled and nodded.

Ye Lan held Xue Min's hand, dipped the ink pen and drew two villains on the lamp surface.Xue Min hesitated for a long time looking at the two dry stick figures before turning his head to look at Yelan, "Brother, what is this...?"

Ye Lan took his hand to write two names on the two round heads, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "Of course it's me and you."

Xue Min stared at the head that didn't even have facial features and said stammeringly, "No...eyes."

Ye Lan shook his hand and quickly clicked four times, "Okay."

The stick figure on the lamp surface is covered with four black spots of different sizes, which is even more weird. With a flick of his hand, Xue Minkan drew an ink ball on the top of the stick man's head, and Ye Lan took advantage of the trend to be beside the ink ball Draw two strokes, "Look, isn't this just like flowing clouds covering the moon, what a beautiful mood."

Attracted by what Ye Lan said, the old man put down the rabbit lamp in his hand, took a look, and immediately laughed out loud, "Young master, your painting is so artistic, if you don't say it's old, it's just a ball of ink. pimple."

Ye Lan also laughed and said, "The old man's painting is to show his state of mind. When he is in a good state of mind, everything is a good view."

The old man thinks about it too, isn’t this painting just for his own pleasure, and he can look like whatever he looks like when he is happy.

Xue Min's eyes lit up immediately, and Ye Lan responded with a smile, "Then thank you old man."

"No thanks, no thanks, you all wrapped up my lantern today, so what's the point of drawing a picture for you." The old man pointed to the willow tree behind the lantern stand, "You two stand there, and I will draw a picture for you."

The lights are on, and the evening breeze is blowing.Wearing the same purple-blue robes, the tall and handsome young masters stood under the willow tree and immediately attracted many people to stop and watch. Some bold ladies from aristocratic families shoved and hesitated for a long time before shyly squeezed Putting on her handkerchief, she stepped forward to salute, and before they could speak, Ye Lan hid Xue Min behind her back with a smile, "My younger brother is naturally timid, but he can't stand the love of all ladies."

A lady in pink was particularly bold and immediately asked, "What about you?"

Xue Min held Ye Lan's hand tightly and his face was covered with frost.

Ye Lan looked at the young lady with a regretful face, bent over and coughed until she was out of breath, her face was pale and she couldn't stand still, and it took her a long time to catch her breath and replied weakly, "I'm going to die in the second half, it's really hard to get over Beauty." After she finished speaking, she spat out blood, rolled her eyes, and fell into Xue Min's arms, then waved her hand tremblingly, "If the girl doesn't mind being a widow, I can give it a try." Cailuo vomited blood again and passed out as soon as he closed his eyes.

Where had the young lady seen this before, she turned pale and screamed, "He's dead, he's dying, he's going to die."

Xue Min shot her a knife in the eye with a stern tone, "You are the one who died."

The young lady was frightened by the coldness in his eyes and took two steps back. Tears flowed down and she dragged the sisters beside her to run away. Hearing that the young lady ran away from Ye Lan, she slowly walked away from Xue Min. Getting up, Xue Min took a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped off the paint from the corners of his mouth.

Ye Lan smiled and raised the cinnabar in her hand, "How about this blindfold, is it the same as the real thing?"

Seeing that Yelan's hands were also stained with cinnabar, Xue Min wiped them off with a handkerchief, "Brother played well."

"That's natural." Ye Lan smiled complacently. "When I was a child, whenever I made a mistake, I would act it out for others with my master. After a long time, I will naturally act like that." He pulled Xue Min back to his side Looking at him with a smile on his head, "I don't look like you, I won't pretend to be seriously injured."

Xue Min chuckled, "I will learn more from my brother in the future."

Ye Lan raised her eyebrows in disbelief.

The old man is a good painter, and he painted the portraits of the two of them in less than half an hour. Ye Lan took a look and saw that the portraits in the painting were [-]% like them. In the hands of the old man, "Old man is good at drawing."

The old man stretched out his hand and refused twice before taking Yinzi under his command, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Thank you, young master Chenghui, you both have good looks, and the old man only spent one-tenth of it." The old man said sincerely, He has been selling lanterns in Mochizuki City for 50 years, and this is the first time he has seen such two fairy-like figures, not to mention their appearance, but their demeanor is not like that of ordinary people.

Yelan smiled and complimented each other with the old man. Seeing Xue Min holding the portrait in both hands with a look of reluctance to make it into a lantern, he dragged the old man and muttered for a long time. The old man glanced at Xue Min Nodding cheerfully.Ye Lan walked up to Xue Min and took the portrait in his hand, "I made an agreement with the old man, this one will not be made as a lamp and I will keep it for you, and the old man will paint us a portrait tomorrow, and then we will find it." A framing shop will frame them all and hang them up when I get home."

The look in Xue Min's eyes brightened three points, "Listen to brother."

The two of them sat in front of the desk again and drew the stack of blank lamp surfaces with a brush. Xu was in a good mood until the end of the painting, Xue Min felt that the hand that was constantly moving in the past was particularly obedient today, no matter what he painted, it would look good.The old man sat at the side and tied up the lamps for them. Occasionally, he saw one or two that could be seen, and he happily commented on them: This phoenix is ​​well painted, but it is a little fatter and the tail feathers behind it are shorter. Xue Min stared at the phoenix. After taking a look at the painting, I immediately added three strokes to it. The old man nodded, and pointed to the elongated and disfigured worm in Ye Lan's hand: This dragon lacks claws.Ye Lan took the brush and drew four big chicken feet, and the old man sat back and continued to tie the lamp contentedly.

Ye Landing's lanterns took a long time for the old man to tie up all the lanterns. Ye Lanzhi ordered the clerk of the inn to move all the lanterns back, and then took Xue Min to the shop where they were mounted.

When they finished framing the painting and returned to the inn, the guy and the shopkeeper had already hung lanterns all over the entire inn, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch. He greeted him with a smile, "The two young masters are back."

Yelan looked at the lanterns all over the building and was very satisfied, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, "Don't bother, don't bother, the young master's generosity has made the shop famous. No one has ever hung lanterns like this in Mochiyue City. Just now, many people asked if they could come in." Give me a reward."

Ye Lan looked sideways at Xue Min, "Do you want to watch it alone or ask some people to watch it together?"

"I'll listen to my brother." Xue Min said again holding two half-human-high rabbit lanterns, "As long as you don't disturb us."

Ye Lan nodded and immediately smiled at the shopkeeper, "We want half of the money to enter the door, and we will give us a table in the evening."

The shopkeeper clapped his hands and replied, "No problem, no problem. I will send someone to guard the backyard of the two young masters so that no one will disturb you."

"Excuse me." Xue Min thanked him and returned to the backyard with Ye Lan.

When they entered the backyard, the shopkeeper immediately asked the waiter to set up a table at the door to collect money.

As the sun set, the lanterns in the inn were all lit up. From a distance, the lanterns were brilliant and colorful, and the sound of laughter was endless. Ye Lan took Xue Min to sit on the highest roof of the inn, pointing at all kinds of lanterns in the yard and laughed, "Yu Wusheng Is it interesting to look around in the world of mortals?" As he spoke, he shook the wine jar in his hand again, "How can a beautiful day be without wine."

Xue Min took the wine jar with a smile, condensed two wine balls, and handed them to Ye Lan, "Brother can only eat two."

Ye Lan threw the wine balls into his mouth, pursed his lips and tasted them carefully. The faint sweet-scented osmanthus flavor was not much different from the pills he usually took. Ye Lan frowned dissatisfied, "Did you use the pills to fool me?" Mine, why doesn't it even smell like wine?"

Xue Min felt wronged, "Brother, you stared at me so hard."

Ye Lan smashed it, and reached out to take the wine jar dissatisfied, "I'll do it myself." Ye Lan held the wine jar and wrapped half of the wine with spiritual power, and within three breaths, a soy bean condensed out The size of the wine balls.

Xue Min looked at the half-empty wine jar and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm going to get drunk." Then he went to grab the one that was about to condense out of Yelan's hand.

Ye Lan lay back and immediately threw the wine balls into his mouth. The faint smell of alcohol melted on the tip of his tongue. He smiled and raised eyebrows at Xue Min, "I won't get drunk with such light wine."

Xue Min stuffed the remaining half of the jar into Qiankun's sleeve and said decisively, "But my brother can't drink, so I'm sure he'll be drunk in a while."

Ye Lan clicked her tongue, why did Xue Min poke him sorely again, is it his fault that he doesn't drink too much, it won't be better if you practice more.

Xue Min saw through his thoughts at a glance, and said with a helpless smile, "If you get drunk, you will have a headache tomorrow."

Ye Lan threw the wine ball left in his hand into his mouth, all right, it's hard to be drunk, so he stopped drinking.

Someone set off fireworks in the city, and Ye Lan dragged Xue Min to lay on the roof to watch quietly for a while, then looked at the stars and moon in the sky, and chatted with Xue Minla, "During those years when you were in Xujiashan, you did things all day long. ? And why do you have so much money? Where did it come from..."

Ye Lan asked about trivial matters, as if he wanted to hear all the days he hadn't participated in all these years.

Xue Min rested his hand on his head and looked at the moon hanging in the sky. He replied lowly, "Xuanshan? Nothing to do but practice swords in the sword mound all day long. Do other things. The money was picked up by breaking into a few secret places by accident. Later, I heard that someone collected rare treasures. On the way to find my brother’s spirit, I dug some and sold them. , Then I thought I could buy more when I found my brother back..."

Xue Min's voice was deep and pleasant, and he spoke in a leisurely manner, which made Ye Lan feel a little drunk.The moonlight was getting thicker, and the night wind was blowing warmly. Ye Lan felt that his head seemed to be more unconscious, a little drowsy, and there was some alcohol smell on his body.

Xue Min smelled the smell of alcohol and smiled lightly, "Brother is sleepy."

Ye Lan let out a sigh and turned towards Xue Min, slowly closed her eyes and said in a slow voice, "Well, I'm sleepy." He fell into a deep sleep after finishing speaking.

Xue Min looked sideways at the sleeping Ye Lan, and a silent warmth slowly crept through his heart.Because of the incident at the mountain, he has never had a good impression of the immortal sect, and he doesn't like to use those immortal sect techniques, but at this moment he is thankful that the monk has no years, and he can be with his brother for a long time.

Seeing that the moon was passing, Xue Min raised his hand to cast a barrier around the two of them, took out a blanket from Qiankun's sleeve and put it on the two of them, then gradually fell asleep holding Ye Lan's hand.
