After the monster boss loses his memory

On July [-]th, the moonlight is like silver, and the gentle moonlight is sprinkled on the hazy water surface. Only insects are singing in a low voice on the silent riverside, and the evening wind becomes gentle.

There were three figures standing on the quiet water bank, suddenly a cluster of flames ignited among the figures, illuminating Lu Xian's beautiful and pale face.

"Running to the dark river on the night of July and a half...you are not afraid of scaring people." Zhang Jinran glanced at the sparkling water under the moonlight and felt the coldness on the back of his neck, so he shrank his neck and sighed. road.

Lu Xian rolled his eyes at him, held his breath and looked at him intently, and carefully lit the ingot lamp in his hand.

"What are you talking about, the lamps of you and the big fool are about to light up, the fire is about to go out!" Lu Xian urged with a river lamp.

Zhang Jinran took a small palm-sized glazed dragon lantern and lit it next to Lu Xian, handed it to Zhou Su, lit a lotus lantern and put it in his hand.

"Okay, let's go and release the river lantern." Lu Xian nodded.

Zhang Jinran signaled to Zhou Su, walked to the bank and gently pushed the river lantern into the water.Three glazed lamps of different shapes slowly moved towards the center of the river with the waves, like dots of fire, the three lonely blue flames sank and continued to ripple with the waves.

"I suddenly thought of a song..." In the originally quiet and melancholy atmosphere, Zhang Jinran looked at the distant river lantern and suddenly said.

"Hold back your star lamp." As an old friend for many years, Lu Xian knew what he was going to say, and quickly killed the word shame in the cradle, "There are already ghosts dragging our river lamp to save lives, you What kind of song are you singing?"

Lu Xian prepared willow leaf water in advance, but Zhang Jinran refused because he didn't want to scare him. Now only Lu Xian can see the ghost.At this time, he looked at the lights in the distance with a little regret. In the dark night, the river water faded away from the heat and noise of the day, and stood quietly by the water. The night wind blew, bringing a rare coolness in a summer day.

"Xian'er, do you think there are so many resentful ghosts in the city? I have never heard of setting off river lanterns on July [-]th, and Master has never taken me to do anything like setting off river lanterns to save lonely souls." It's a ghost." Zhang Jinran pressed his forehead that was blown by the wind and asked the doubts in his heart.

It's the same everywhere, and your master, as a Taoist priest, always looks like he is in control of the secrets, but he is actually an idiot who doesn't know anything. It's no wonder that people doubt that he is a magic stick.When Lu Xian thinks of Chen Yuanqing's car rollover incidents that have spread all over the world, he will roll his eyes to the sky. The Taoist code that this wretched old man gave his apprentice did not know where he got it. It must not be his work. What about his professionalism? Doesn't look like a master either.

Lu Xiandao: "...It's not that there are many ghosts in the city, it's that your master didn't care about this! Our Miao village holds the Zhongyuan Lantern Festival every July [-]th, and puts a river lantern made by ourselves in the Tuojiang River to help the ghosts. They are reborn to accumulate virtue."

"That's right." Zhang Jinran was a little ashamed. He glanced at his phone and saw that it was getting late, "Let's go back after the river lantern is set off. It is said that the gate of ghosts is open today, and it is almost midnight. I don't want to see a hundred ghosts." Walking at night." Just thinking about it made goosebumps start to form on my arms.

Lu Xian nodded, ready to leave.Suddenly he blinked, and raised his lips with interest to look at the river ahead: "Look at the middle of the river."

Zhang Jinran looked for the sound, and at some point in the middle of the rippling water surface, two bright red lanterns rose, floating far away in the middle of the river, and drifting along the current towards the opposite bank.

"Who put the lantern?" Zhang Jinran wondered.

"No." Lu Xian glanced at Zhou Su with a half-smile. The idiot he was talking about was looking at the river in silence. A dim golden light flashed in his indifferent eyes. Appeared, gave him a warning look.

Is the guess wrong... Lu Xian grinned like a toothache, pointed to the lantern and said, "Over there is the Naihe Bridge, Ming Si lit the lantern to lead the soul."

Zhang Jinran involuntarily took two steps back, thankful that he couldn't see.

"It's actually quite interesting. It's a pity you can't see it." Lu Xian praised.

"No, no need." Zhang Jinran rubbed his arms, pushed him and urged, "Let's go back quickly, I'm sleepy."

Lu Xian didn't bother to expose Fa's small lie, and it was indeed too early, he yawned involuntarily, stretched his neck and left the river bank.

Zhang Jinran heaved a sigh of relief, followed Lu Xian for a few steps, and suddenly realized something was wrong.Turning his head, Zhou Su was still standing there quietly, his face was blurred by the night, and he could only vaguely see that he was still looking at the water calmly.

what is he looking atLooking in the direction is the lantern in the middle of the water, could it be...he can see ghosts?Zhang Jinran couldn't help but think about it.

"Didn't you say you want to go back? Why are you falling behind again?" Lu Xian shouted in front.

"Wait." Zhang Jinran responded, beckoning to Zhou Su, "Zhou Su, let's go!"

Zhou Su seemed to recover from his daze when he heard his call, and walked towards him slowly.When he approached, Zhang Jinran couldn't help but pursed his lower lip and asked, "What's wrong with you, do you want to stay longer?"

Zhou Su shook his head and gently took his hand.

"The idiot saw the full banquet." Lu Xian thought he was bright, but he didn't care about threats, and told the truth on his own.

"What?" Zhang Jinran wondered, there was no such thing as a full banquet in the middle of the night, and besides, he didn't smell the aroma of food.

"It's just a feast for a fool." Seeing that Zhou Su didn't respond, Lu Xian felt complacent, and continued to explain: "You forgot, the fool's soul is not complete, and his gradual sobriety shows that he can come through the souls of other ghosts." Repair yourself. Now that the gate of hell is open on July [-]th, it is the time when there are the most lonely and wild ghosts, isn't he staring at countless feasts now?"

Is that so?Zhang Jinran looked at Zhou Su's silent and stern profile, and a small flame called hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

"However—" Lu Xian changed the subject and ruthlessly broke Zhang Jinran's fantasy, "Although today is the day when the gates of hell are wide open, the king of hell and the officials of the underworld are all guarding the order to prevent any trouble. At this time, he dare not make any moves, otherwise we will all have to walk around."

... Then go back obediently.The flame of hope that had just been ignited was ruthlessly broken, and Zhang Jinran pulled Zhou Su downcastly.

After walking a few hundred meters on the way back, Lu Xian in front of him suddenly stopped and let out an exclamation, followed by a shrill meow, he staggered two steps, and a dexterous figure rushed out from under his feet.

"What!" Lu Xian was taken aback, and exclaimed when he saw the big eyes like two small flashlights that finally stopped by the roadside in the dark night.

Zhang Jinran hastily turned on his phone, only to see clearly under the dim light of the screen, there was a pure black cat lying on the side of the road, baring its teeth at them, with a pair of golden pupils reflecting the light. The only light source outside the light is particularly eye-catching.

"Did you step on it just now?" Zhang Jinran heaved a sigh of relief, and helped the flustered Lu Xian.

"I said it seemed like I stepped on something. It was soft. It turned out to be a cat." Lu Xian glanced at the black cat with disgust, and was a little annoyed at his gaffe just now: "The hair is already black, so I can't even notice it at night. The stray cat must have been sleeping in the middle of the road just now, without opening its eyes, otherwise I wouldn't have failed to notice that its eyes were so bright."

"Yes yes yes." Zhang Jinran responded perfunctorily, at this moment his attention had been attracted by the black cat.

"It's so cute." Zhang Jinran has no resistance to small furry animals. If it wasn't for its fierce appearance, he really wanted to touch it.

The black cat seemed to see through his thoughts and gave him a haughty look of contempt, but it miraculously stopped blowing up.It meowed, became quiet, and wagged its tail, in Zhang Jinran's view, it was inviting his petting.

Lu Xian slapped the mosquitoes flying around him, Zhou Su watched the black cat's movements, and sneered, the black cat felt his ridicule, glanced at him secretly, its beard trembled, but it squatted on the spot and continued to wag its tail.

Don't do this, I'm going to get started!Zhang Jinran howled wildly in his heart, and stretched out his hand towards the black cat as if he couldn't control it.

Just when he was about to touch the black cat's chin, a hand came out and grabbed his eager wrist.

"Don't touch it, be careful that it grabs you and you will get an injection." Lu Xian pulled him up and said earnestly.

Zhang Jinran looked at the black cat reluctantly, but he could listen to the persuasion, "Oh, let's go."

...Why did you just give up!The black cat's tail froze for a moment. Seeing that the three of them were about to leave, he let out a grunt, jumped up suddenly, and jumped into Zhang Jinran's arms. Before anyone could react, he opened his mouth to bite and jumped back to the side of the road.

"...my cell phone!" Zhang Jinran exclaimed, empty-handed.

"This wild cat snatches anything bright at night!" Lu Xian was also anxious, "You too, you don't hold your phone steady, why was it snatched by a cat?"

At this time, he couldn't care about Lu Xian's reprimand, Zhang Jinran hurriedly grabbed the black cat.It's just that the flexibility of a two-legged beast can't be compared with that of a four-legged beast. After a few rounds, he and Lu Xian were out of breath, but the black cat easily took his mobile phone in its mouth and led the three of them further and further away.

"...I can't do it anymore." Lu Xian wiped his sweat, "This cat is too good at running, neither of us is a match." He glanced at Zhou Su, who was walking at the end with an understatement, upset, "Let everyone Fool to help catch the cat! He's much better than us."

Zhang Jinran stretched his legs and panted heavily. He shook his head and asked, "Zhou Su...can you catch that cat?"

Zhou Su slowly walked over to the black cat. The black cat's golden pupils looked at him, and jumped into the nearby residential building with the phone in its mouth.

Zhou Su walked up the corridor without saying a word, leaving Zhang Jinran and Lu Xian still looking at each other.

"No, can you go up so casually at night?" Zhang Jinran swallowed as he looked at the residential building shrouded in darkness and without light.Although it is already midnight, according to modern people's work and rest, generally the lights of the whole building will not be turned off, it is quiet as if there is no one in it, and the building without a room with lights is really weird.

Lu Xian looked around, confirmed his location and suddenly said: "Jin Ran, hurry up, this building was built illegally, and it will be demolished soon, so it's normal for no one to live in it."
