Peach wood

In the beginning of winter, it often doesn’t snow. Snow always comes at an unexpected time. This night was a snowy night. corpse.In winter, it gets dark early, and there are no pedestrians at night, and there is also a desolate scene outside the imperial city.

Shuhuai once witnessed the prosperity of the world with his own eyes. At that time, he did not pick up things on the road and closed his house at night, but this scene has disappeared for many years.Under the influence of a certain vicious circle, the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the latter, by virtue of the accumulated wealth, give better and more opportunities to future generations.As a result, the classes are further differentiated, the contradictions are further sharpened, and finally develop into an unmanageable situation. Immediately afterwards, an earth-shaking upheaval will come to the world. It may be a natural disaster, or it may be a man-made disaster. They will bring chaos to the world. When the chaos is over, Everything returns to silence, everything starts again, and power and wealth are redistributed.

In times of chaos, people will die. Only this kind of situation can bring a sense of crisis to the public and prompt them to create a new era.

The howling of wild animals came from far and near, and places with corpses could always attract these things. Shuhuai wrapped the cloak around him a little tighter, but the fine snow still had to get in from his collar, and he had to He tightened his grip on the piece of jade that Mo Yun gave him.

This thing is a treasure, and there is a steady stream of hot air from it, as if it is the temperature of Mo Yun's body.Shuhuai pressed it tightly to his chest, his whole body slowly warmed up, his fingers were no longer stiff from the cold, and finally he could move normally.

There was a dark area under the tree in front of him. Shuhuai raised a lamp to illuminate it, and found that it was blood that hadn't completely dried up, which was particularly eye-catching on the white snow.Shuhuai raised the lamp higher, and saw a young man lying alone on the ground, his clothes didn't look like poor people, but he wasn't from a rich family either, presumably he came from an ordinary family.

What was the cause of the young man's death?

There is no way to return to Hades now, so Shuhuai can only make a little guess first.

No one is stupid enough to brave the cold wind to block the road in the middle of the winter night to rob, otherwise he will be frozen to death before the money is robbed.The deceased probably did not die in the hands of bandits, and Shuhuai found traces of bites on the body.

He turned the body over, and a terrified face came into view. The young man was terrified before he died. He was bitten to death by wild beasts.

Generally speaking, beasts that live on scavenging will basically not actively attack pedestrians. Their body structure is not suitable for hunting, and some functions may even degenerate. However, in the mountains near the imperial city, there have been no beasts that hurt people for some years. Where did the guy who killed the deceased come from?

The rustling sound of falling snow sounded again, Shuhuai turned his head abruptly, and caught a white shadow in an instant.The giant white beast disappeared, and suddenly appeared on his right side, opening its bloody mouth to bite him.Shuhuai didn't draw his sword, and let the object approach. Just before the sharp fangs were about to touch him, another even bigger black figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The white beast pressed into the snowdrift.

The monster struggled unwillingly, and Mo Yun got impatient, so he crushed it heavily.There was only a crisp bang, and I don't know which bone was broken. The monster let out a hoarse and ugly howl, and Shuhuai couldn't help plugging his ears.

"It eats people and eats fairies. It's very bad. You might as well send it to reincarnation with a sword." The little demon king stomped on it a few more times, and didn't stop until the thing under his feet couldn't make a sound.This thing has no intelligence and will only act according to instinct. It is useless to keep it alive. It is better to carry it back and take it back. Maybe you can cut open its stomach and observe the structure inside to see what kind of creature it is closer to. .

The snow particles kept throwing themselves on Shuhuai's face, making him unable to open his eyes. He squinted his eyes to look at Mo Yun, and asked, "Did you trample it to death?"

"It's dead, come and see." The giant wolf shook off the snowflakes on his body, turned back into a little black dog, and ran back staggeringly on the soft snow, apparently wanting Shuhuai to continue hugging him.Just as Shu Huai stretched out his hand, he suddenly frowned, and found that Mo Yun's paws seemed to be stained with blood, so he pushed that little head away expressionlessly, and ordered: "You change back."

The little black dog was pushed down by him, and sat down on the ground, screaming in the cold, it jumped up hastily, turned back into the giant wolf just now, and looked at the ungrateful man in front of him mournfully.

"Change again." Shuhuai put down these two words, bypassed the little demon king, and walked straight to the corpse of the beast.Mo Yun obediently changed back into a human form, attached to the back of the book like a small tail, muttering in his mouth not knowing what he was talking about.

His kicks were so powerful that he trampled his opponent into meatloaf. This beast buried under the wolf's claws was white all over, with patterns faintly on it. It looked like a big tiger, but it wasn't if you looked closely.

What is the name of the beast that says tiger is not tiger?Shuhuai looked at it, and felt a little familiar, as if he had seen this kind of thing somewhere, or maybe he had heard it described by others.

People live for a long time, and the timeline will be a little messy, but as long as you think about certain things, you can still come up with a general idea.The white mysterious creature in front of me appeared 800 years ago, but it only appeared in the rumors of the common people.

In troubled times, evildoers are rampant, and this is one of the monsters that used to be rampant.

It is said that this thing is good at killing and likes to devour all kinds of creatures. Shuhuai has heard of it a long time ago, but he has not seen it with his own eyes until today. Before that, he always thought that this thing was just made up by people to scare children s things.

But Shuhuai couldn't remember its name at all. He just remembered that it was a monster sneaking in the snow, so its whole body was white.

Suddenly a raging fire ignited on the body in front of him, and a bright light approached quickly, Shu Huai hurriedly backed away, pulling Mo Yun to leave.In a hurry, the little demon king looked back, but saw the familiar red dress appearing in the wind and snow, presumably Wan Zhu had been active outside the city just now, and had already noticed their movement.

"Why do you want to leave?" Mo Yun felt very strange. Wanzhu didn't necessarily have malicious intentions. Although he set a fire, it didn't burn Shuhuai. Why did the latter avoid it?

Of course Shuhuai knew what Mo Yun was thinking, he shivered, and cursed: "You think I want to leave? The weather is hell, if I don't go back and hide, I will freeze to death."

"But if she hurts someone again..." Who will bear the responsibility?

"She won't hurt people anymore, at least not in winter. These people outside the city are waiting for her to make her angry, and she doesn't care about making trouble." Shuhuai didn't look back, and slipped as fast as oil on the soles of his feet, he felt I was about to freeze, and I felt cold from head to toe.The weather-beaten old tree finally appeared at the end of the road. Shuhuai raised his hand and patted the tree trunk, then pushed Mo Yun's head down, and dragged the little demon king through the crack.

Wanzhu was curious about what they were doing, so she ran along for a while, but when she caught up, she only saw the cracks in the tree slowly closing.She was stunned for a moment, she had never seen Shuhuai enter the underworld with her own eyes, but only heard some rumors from other monsters, she never knew that the entrance to the underworld was hidden in the human world.

Miss Deng immediately thought of Shuhuai's little sister. She always felt that the little girl was also hiding in this tree, but she didn't belong to Hades, and she wasn't authorized by Hades, so no matter how hard she beat, she couldn't knock on that door.

After knocking for a long time, she still decided to give up. When Shuhuai came to the human world next time, it would not be too late for her to go and ask.

While she was talking about this, Shuhuai, who had just returned to Hades, sneezed violently. He never imagined that Miss Deng was also looking forward to meeting again.

"When the weather is better next time, I will go to the human world to find her." Shuhuai rubbed his nose and said with emotion, "However, how can we prevent the monsters in the snow from hurting people?"

The cold wind in the world was blowing towards the evening candle with snowflakes on her head and face. She was clearly not afraid of the cold, but suddenly she sneezed three times in succession.

There is no seasonal change in Tiangong. Although it is a bit monotonous, it is definitely suitable for settlement, but no one can easily settle here.

Gong Fei was bored in the South China Sea, and planned to find Qingmei, but the latter was sent by the Little Demon King to the North Sea Dragon Palace. She had nothing to do, so she ran to the upper realm along the ladder, and stayed on Fengyi's territory. gone.

She used to do this too often, Fengyi turned a blind eye to this, the only selfishness left prevented him from driving Gong Fei away, he looked up at the dozing bird on the shelf, Softly said: "You are in the human world..."

The bird opened its eyes, waiting for his next words, but at this time he did not speak again.The big bird flapped its wings, flew down from the shelf, circled the wind instrument twice, and finally landed on his chessboard, messing up the Zhenlong he had set up.

"Don't move around." Fengyi glanced at her, she tilted her head and looked back, asking: "What did you want to say just now?"

"There's nothing I want to say." About that bit of tenderness suddenly disappeared again, and Fengyi returned to her sarcastic nature, "You are here with me, but you are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so the little wolf cub will not care about you?"

"He talks about love all day long, so he doesn't care about other things." Big Bird shook his head, jumped off the ground and turned back into a woman.Gong Fei reached out and took a peach from the table, and comfortably occupied Fengyi's bed. Fengyi called her down angrily, and threatened her that if she got the peach juice on the bed, she would pull out all her hair and use To clean up the dust.

He does this every time, Gong Fei has been used to it for a long time, and he just talked about it, and it has been 1000 years without any actual action, and this time it is the same as before, until the big peach entered the palace. Fei's belly, Fengyi didn't really come to pluck the bird's feathers.

The main reason is that it's useless for him to pluck the bird's feathers. Everything in Tiangong is clean and free from dust, and there is no need for a feather duster at all.

Gong Fei kicked off her shoes and started rolling on the bed, Feng Yi felt a little headache, trying to control herself not to look at her.Her destructive power is too strong, wherever she goes is like locusts crossing the border, no matter how neat the arrangement is, she will disrupt it.

Looking at the messy chess pieces, Fengyi lost interest. At this time, Gong Fei had had enough trouble, and was arguing for tea again. He had no choice but to pour a cup and send it to the other party, feeling that he was just like a little girl. handyman.

This bird worked under the former demon king, and she didn't know what to do. Mo Hui seemed to dislike her, but Mu Hua couldn't help but like her, so Gong Fei was often brought to the heaven.Thousands of years of cold and heat are like day and night, and the years can't leave even a trace on her body. Fengyi looks at her now, just like seeing the girl from before.

Maybe she has not changed a single bit, but she has changed a lot, and she is even gradually approaching another extreme. Maybe, as Gong Fei said, it is a pity that she has become what she is today. Thinking of this, Fengyi sighed inaudibly.

The distance between them was very close, Gong Fei could hear him sighing, just about to ask him what he thought, but heard a commotion from outside the hall.

Fengyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, she suddenly pushed Gong Fei's shoulder, and said softly, "You hide first."

But it was too late, before he finished speaking, a person walked in with a fan, with a hypocritical smile on his face: "Who do you want to hide?"

"You are an egomaniac again." Gong Fei scolded him, "You are not afraid of freezing to death even if you shake your fan in the twelfth lunar month."

The person who came was Cunxue, and Fengyi didn't have a good impression of him, but he cooperated a little when dealing with the North Sea Dragon Clan. Since this natural god wants to kill each other, the immortal is of course willing to help, but if it doesn't work, There will be no next joint action against the North Sea by the two sides.

Coming so blatantly, I am not afraid of being caught by the God of Heaven. I went to find him before, but I still had to choose the path of no one, just like a big mouse hiding.Fengyi stared at Cunxue for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became. The latter didn't care, but pulled out a giant beast from behind with a smile on his face, saying that he was bringing a treasure to watch with others.

With a pure white body, red eyes, sharp fangs, and a daunting figure, Fengyi suddenly stood up and asked sharply, "Are you crazy? What are you bringing it out for?"

Ever since she didn't become the Emperor of Heaven, Cunxue stayed behind closed doors in the palace, making strange things all day long, including all kinds of puppets and strange beasts.Those puppets in his room were harmless to others, but this group of strange beasts was different. Some of them were bloodthirsty, and once broke the chains on the iron cage and escaped, causing a lot of trouble .

Fengyi can never forget that 800 years ago, it was this beast that stalked the snow and claimed the lives of countless mortals.

Before he came to the Heavenly Palace, he was also an ordinary mortal. He knew the hardships of the world and the difficulty of survival. However, some people who were originally happy met this disaster for no reason. How could this make him not feel sad?

At that time, Cunxue pleaded guilty, saying that these strange beasts escaped because the chains were loose, and begged the Emperor of Heaven to keep some of them for him. Of course, the Emperor of Heaven refused to agree, and even killed them all with his own hands. This kind of monster has been made again, and its purpose is obvious.

The giant beast roared loudly suddenly, its eyes were fixed on Gong Fei, and its mouth was drooling. It seemed to be hungry and wanted to fill its stomach with bird meat.Feng Yi blocked Gong Fei behind her, drew out her sword and pointed at the monster in front of her, if it made a move, it would immediately receive a sword through the heart.

"You're so boring." Cunxue twitched the corners of her mouth, and turned back with her strange beast. Gong Fei poked her head out and looked at his back, thinking that this guy was crazy, and after the Emperor of Heaven returned to his throne, he would definitely be punished .

Fengyi held the saber tightly, not daring to relax his vigilance at all. The sense of crisis still haunted him. He felt that Cunxue must still want to do something and would never leave easily.

As if to confirm his conjecture, a white shadow suddenly flew into the hall, and four giant claws slapped the ground to make a deep hole. It moved quickly, crossed Fengyi's shoulder in the blink of an eye, and opened its mouth to bite Gong Fei behind him.

"Cunxue, kill your family!" Gong Fei transformed back into a big bird, managed to avoid the monster's mouth, and flew to a high place.The beast still wanted to chase her, but it was stabbed several times by Fengyi with swords, and blood spurted out, dyeing its snow-white fur bright red, and flowing down like a stream, dirtying Fengyi's bed and floor .

"Gong Fei..." Seeing such a tragic situation, Feng Yi wiped her face.

Big Bird thought that Fengyi cared about her, so she landed on his shoulder and rubbed his cheek affectionately.However, in the next moment, she heard the other party say, "You have to clean up the bed for me."

Gong Fei: "..."

As if she was afraid that she would not understand, Fengyi added another sentence: "Just throw it away, and these on the ground—" He paused at this point, and then said to himself: "Let's just live in another place." .”

"I went to the underworld to find the demon king." Gong Fei flapped her wings, "There will be a time later."

"Ah Choo!" Mo Yun lay on the bed and suddenly felt his nose itchy.Shuhuai thought he was catching a cold, so he handed him a cup of hot water. The little demon king took the cup silently, and was lost in thought while drinking the water. He always felt that he had heard about that strange beast from his father when he was young, but he I forgot their origins.

This cannot be blamed on him. When his father told him the story, he focused more on the ferocity of this thing, while ignoring other details-to put it bluntly, he was just patronizing to scare children.Mo Yun casually put the cup on the low cabinet beside the bed, and turned over depressedly.
