How about a bowl of Mengpo soup

In a blink of an eye, it's July, and it's another year's ghost festival.The gates of ghosts everywhere were opened by the guarded underworld, and spirit ships sailed onto the River of Forgetfulness one by one.

On this day, people in the mortal world burn paper money into pinches of smoke and ashes.In the underworld, the city was covered with flowers overnight.Countless tiny pink and white petals fell from the endless black night sky, covering the sky and covering the ground like snowflakes.Unknown flowering trees grew along the roadside, and the branches swayed gently in the wind. It was a bit sadly beautiful, but it decorated this cold place like a fairyland.

At four o'clock in Haishi, the bronze bell rang, and the distant and deep sound seemed to come from the sky above the head, echoing into the ears of countless people.People holding floating lanterns in their hands stopped one after another, quietly raised their heads as in previous years, and looked at the towering towers in the distance.

On the city tower, the queen was wearing a black-colored gold-patterned phoenix robe, standing beside the bronze furnace in the center of the stone platform.After receiving a sky lantern printed with golden runes from Shi Dengshi, she bowed, and after reading a sacrificial oration, she took out a tribute incense from the furnace, rolled up her sleeves and lit the lantern.

A pale yellow halo emerges from the center of the lamp, and the gauze wall slowly bulges up.

Let go of your hand, and the sky lantern began to rise slowly, melting into the vast and deep black sky above, and gradually condensed into a tiny spot of light.Everyone below the city tower raised their hands and sent their sky lanterns into the air steadily.In an instant, countless white gauze sky lanterns, holding the pale yellow firelight, rose from the city and gathered in the sky above the head, which was more beautiful than fireworks.

Not far from the right rear of the tower, the man in white went up to the terrace alone, and walked slowly to the parapet.Suddenly there was another light footstep behind her. She turned around and saw that it was the Qixiu God who lived in this underworld for more than a month.

"It's so beautiful." The visitor came to her side and looked at the distant scenery: "I've never seen the ghost festival scene in the underworld before, and now I finally have to see it once." The brisk tone makes people feel kind Relax.

"It's really beautiful..." Meng Wanyan murmured, and then turned her gaze to the distance.

Qi Xiu looked at her, with a casual expression on his plain expression: "That guy, he has been roaming around in the mortal world for so long, it's time to come back."

"That guy" needless to say, it naturally refers to Yan You.Meng Wanyan didn't speak, but her expression was obviously much lower, as if she was hiding something on her mind.The tone of the person next to him was more joking: "You have to cheer up and don't collapse before she comes back, or she will cry to death by then."

"I understand." She raised her lips lightly, but then lowered her eyes, "Shenjun Qixiu is in the sun, is there anyone who cares about him?"

"Yes...but there are too many, I can't remember clearly." Lord Shenjun tilted his head slightly, standing in the wind with a slender figure, and his clothes were lightly fluttering, looking elegant and free.Just as they were about to say something more, a voice suddenly intervened in them: "Hey, Meng Wanyan, you are really here." Turning his head to look, he saw a man in Tsing Yi walking with a lamp in his hand, followed by Si Ming in a black robe.

Feng Wuya waved at them, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Her complexion has improved a lot recently, and the sadness between her eyebrows has also faded a lot, and she seems to have regained her former anger.

"Wu Ya made a wish?" Qi Xiu glanced at the lamp in her hand with interest, and raised his eyebrows: "Let me guess, um...whether you marry a beautiful wife and give birth to a precious son or something?"

"That's not it!" Feng Wuya was stunned for a moment, then blushed immediately.Chi Han next to him coughed unnaturally, and a little blush appeared on his cheeks for the first time.

Seeing this, Lord Shenjun twitched his mouth slightly, and stretched out his hand casually to touch a certain judge's pretty face, and then commented: "Xiao Wuya is so cute, and his skin is so smooth and tender, it feels great in the hand."

"Hey, you!" It's too much, how can you play hooligans to people with families... Even a god can't act like this! I hate it! !The Judge turned his face to Si Ming who was beside him, pulled his sleeves and accused pitifully: "Look at Ming Ming, she is molesting me."

Chi Han moved her paw away: "I will help you flirt back in the future."

ha?Feng Wuya opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and then stomped his feet in embarrassment and indignation, "You, who spoiled you!" After speaking, he walked towards the woman in white angrily, and stopped paying attention to the two people behind him. .

Meng Wanyan watched them arguing like this, and the bitterness in her heart dissipated a lot.At this time, Xinxue and Anu also came here, and each of them came over with a lamp, and soon got into a mess with them.But when everyone didn't notice, Qi Xiu's gaze had turned elsewhere, staring at it for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly.

Following her gaze, in the pavilion in the distance, the man in red was sitting in front of the desk, drinking wine alone.There was a splendid scene outside the window, and a lot of hustle and bustle came here, making her look alone.

A few pink and white petals floated into the window with the wind and landed on the desk.Ji Lan stopped, blinked, and blew them away.After a while, I suddenly heard footsteps approaching.She ignored it, just raised her hand again and filled herself up.

"Drinking alone is easy to get old." The next moment, the door was pushed open, and the aqua blue skirt came into view.She glanced sullenly at the visitor: "Why don't you accompany other girls to release sky lanterns, why are you here bothering me?"

"You think I'm annoying?"

"bored."

"So I let you care so much." Qi Xiu closed the door, lightly brushed her hair, and shook off a few petals on her shoulders.

"Hmph." Ji Lan snorted angrily, and hooked her fingers together: "Come here, drink with me."

"It's okay to sit with you, but I'm not in the mood to drink right now." The beauty in blue on the opposite side looked over lightly, then sighed suddenly, "I'm talking about you, why make yourself feel so uncomfortable all the time."

"Don't talk to me in such an elder tone, it's a dead face." Ji Lan stood up holding the jug, only to realize that she was a little drunk, her head was dizzy, and she almost couldn't stand upright.She held onto the pillar and smiled drunkenly: "Do you care about me?"

Her fragrant cheeks were lightly stained with blush, her bright eyes were watery, and the corners of her mouth were curled up to show a charming attitude.

Qi Xiumou's heart trembled imperceptibly, as if being teased by the light touch of a feather.However, none of these subtle changes were shown, and she remained calm and calm, but turned her gaze away very quickly, and replied coldly: "You think too much."

"Hmph." The person opposite rolled his eyes coquettishly.She ignored it, then seemed to think of something, walked to the open window, and took out the square white gauze lantern from the ring.

Ji Lan raised her eyebrows: "...your lamp?" She walked over, looked at the woman in front of her with a strange look, and then sneered, "Oh, which woman gave it to you? Or...a man gave it to you?" Not necessarily. Haha... Lord Shenjun has stolen the hearts of many people in my underworld recently? It is really as romantic as the rumors."

Unexpectedly, the other party frowned, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that you have misunderstood me a lot." After speaking, he turned back, flicked his fingers, poured a cluster of spiritual fire into the lamp, and then said softly: "This I did it with my own hands, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"I can't see..." Her Majesty the Queen embarrassingly withdrew the teasing, muttered something in a low voice, then staggered over, and said maliciously, "You wrote the wish?"

"Well, I hope to be with the person I like." Qi Xiu frowned when he smelled the alcohol, but he still replied solemnly, without any intention of hiding.The person next to him almost couldn't hold the jug in his hand, and said in surprise, "I heard it right, right?"

Ji Lan patted her shoulder with one hand, and suddenly laughed: "Ask for marriage on Ghost Festival, and even say that you want to be with the person you like, you are really that mean-spirited, prudish dead person who likes to hook up Face? Couldn’t it have been changed by some kind of monster?” As he spoke, he tugged at the other party’s face even more presumptuously, with a bit of childishness in his drunkenness.

Qi Xiu let go of the lamp in his hand, didn't say a word, just stared at the drunk woman in front of him.

After staring at each other for a while, Her Royal Highness gradually felt a little weak in her hands and feet.She suppressed her smile, and withdrew her hand, but now the spirit of alcohol was on the rise, and she couldn't even pronounce the words clearly: "Hey, this, this - look at me..."

Seeing that the other party didn't respond for a long time, she became a little impatient, so she just hung limply on his body, and leaned over her with misty eyes, her lips almost brushing her cheek: "You don't mean to be interested in my sister, do you?" ?”

Lord Shenjun stiffened and said expressionlessly, "You're drunk."

"Answer me." The drunk man refused to let go, and moved closer, the smell of wine mixed with plum fragrance blowing into his ears: "Why don't you talk, huh? Did you take a fancy to me, tell me... ..."

"Yes."

Ji Lan was stunned, "...huh? Dead... face, you answered wrongly, no..." She opened her drunken eyes and groaned twice, then suddenly backed away from Qi Xiu, but stumbled in a daze. Feet, the body suddenly fell backwards.But when he fell to the ground, he felt as if he was being embraced by both hands, and then fell into the embrace of a certain Wen Xiang.

So soft... At the moment when her consciousness became blurred, she thought so.

Outside the window, in places far and near, there were also people who put on their own lamps one after another, silently made wishes, and entrusted their thoughts.Numerous lights rose up, shining brightly, illuminating the pupils of the eyes.

Beside the parapet wall, a man in white was holding a sky lantern, and gently stroked the gauze paper with his fingertips. After a while, the wick was lit.

The sky lantern slowly floated up and rose.Meng Wanyan looked up in a spot of light, and the corner of her mouth slowly raised an arc, which was more poignant than the flying flowers all over the city. "My heart, can you receive it..." She murmured in a low voice, and an inaudible sentence scattered into the wind.

Yan You, I miss you.

I miss you……

And somewhere deep in the mountains in the mortal world, it is the silence of Wan Lai.The moonlight was shining brightly, and there were occasional cries of night owls in the woods, which echoed in a low voice, making this place even more gloomy.In the bamboo house in the middle of the forest, the light sleeper on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.After a long time, he smiled wryly.

I'm hallucinating again...

——————————————————————————————————

the next day--

Ji Lan: Dead face, when I was drunk last night... You, did you tell me something?

Qixiu: (face expressionless) You should ask yourself if you said something in a gaffe.

Ji Lan: (Tsundere shaking her face) How could I lose my composure.Don't be wordy, answer me quickly.

Qixiu: I said you were drunk.

Ji Lan: That's it... nothing else?

Qixiu: Yes.

Ji Lan: ... Oh.So, did you do anything...

Qixiu: I lit a sky lantern, and then you hugged me violently when I was drunk.

Ji Lan: What? !Strong, strong-violent! ! ! (covers face) I will take responsibility for you!

Feng Wuya: Although I really want to reveal something, but the two of you have developed so fast, it's really gratifying.

The author has something to say: Well, there will be another chapter tomorrow morning. . .It seems that there is still a chance to end a year ago~(≧▽≦)hehe. .
