In the evening, Qin Yue got off the subway terminal alone.The vicinity here is a royal hunting ground that has been through several generations, and it has long been overgrown with weeds and has become a paradise for wild animals.The back is against the desolate and inhabited forest park. The nearest real estate is an unfinished building two kilometers away. The access to the subway is entirely for planning considerations in the future.

The green plastic-coated barbed wire around the hunting ground has been degummed and rusted.Qin Yue lowered her body and got in through the big hole that one person could pass through.After walking for a few minutes, there is a huge ancient locust tree standing among the dry grass.The green cover is like shade, with luxuriant branches and leaves.Its trunk is so thick that three adults can embrace it with open arms.Of course, this is nothing unusual. Guan Yunheng had seen thicker redwood forests in Kangaroo Country.

The special thing is that this ancient locust tree embraces a dead willow tree.A line of toad-like things was lining up, heading for the narrow gap between the two tree trunks: "One-two-three, croak-croak, four-five-six, croak-croak." .They followed bobcats and vultures in an orderly manner, and there were also some strange-shaped things that ordinary people couldn't name.

A white rabbit in clothes led a few lively bunnies at the end——

"Mom, mom, it's human!"

"Hush. That's a monk." The white rabbit bowed slightly to Qin Yue.

The queue slowly moved forward, and when it was Qin Yue's turn, he didn't rush in like a ghost, but took out a thumb-sized jade tree leaf from his trouser pocket.Holding it in his hands, he gently blew in the direction of the gap.

"Dang—" The bells and drums rang, and the distance was clear.

The narrow tree gap was gone.It suddenly opened up.In the sky on both sides of the road, there are two rows of red paper lanterns floating in the sky. Each of them is small, but it illuminates the street as bright as day.The market is full of traffic, stretching for several miles.Vendors have the faces of people or beasts, greet and send, and sell loudly——

"Come and take a look, the best black donkey's hooves are still bleeding."

"Rejuvenation Pill, one pill nourishes yin and nourishes the face, ten pills prolong life, and one hundred pills rejuvenate youth!!"

With a smile, Qin Yue fended off those vendors who came forward to sell, and only stopped in front of the stalls selling medicinal herbs.The stall owner is a black pangolin.After a few words of gossip, it took out a few herbs that glowed red: "here, here are these. Just now you asked about the folk remedy for human rheumatism." It wrapped it in yellow kraft paper and handed it to him.

"Uki, thank you. How many demon coins?"

"No, no, last time I was injured and sold to a game shop. Thanks to you for calling the police, otherwise I would have been a meal for those people."

The monsters go straight and say what they say, and it will hurt their feelings if they refuse.After Qin Yue generously accepted it, she walked deeper into the market.After walking a few steps, a hippie smiling face of a businessman with two tentacles above his head blocked his way: "Moonlight, freshly baked moonlight. A photo of the soul strengthens the foundation and nourishes the soul; a photo of the spirit prolongs life and strengthens the demon power. Hey, this one Cultivator—buy a bottle for the soul around you. It’s very cheap, only ten demon coins!”

"No, no, what's the use of your little moonlight? It's better to sit on the roof and bask in the sun all night."

The businessman rubbed his nose and said with a sneer, "Yes, the monk is indeed an expert." After speaking, he walked away bored.

Passing the shadow puppet stage, eight-legged octopuses are playing multiple roles.The ferocious beast in the movie crawls at the girl's feet: "... I, the enlightened beast Taifeng, recognize Luochuan Jiang's daughter as the master."

The girl touched its head, and said calmly: "In this way, you will never do evil for the rest of your life."

The audience watched intently, Qin Yue passed by lightly, and said with a smile: "It's really getting more and more outrageous. The enlightened beast is the divine beast that guards the Kunlun Gate, how can it do evil?"

Guan Yunheng: "..." Why does this kid look like he knows the inside story very well?

Before they had time to ask questions, they had already turned from the busy main street into a remote narrow alley.There was a broken wooden table in the dark alley.A half-burned white candle was lit on the table, and a broken porcelain bowl, rice paper, and inkstone were placed in the center.Qin Yue took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, and held them upside down in a bowl: "Is Granny Misty here?"

"What do you want to ask Mr. Xiao?" An old voice responded.Rudou's candle light flickered upwards a few times, but no one was seen.

"Same as before, looking for objects."

"The thing you are looking for should be able to get what you want soon. However, there may be a bloody disaster." The voice sighed: "Please be careful, young master."

After a moment of silence, the man asked again: "Is the young master looking for someone?"

"I can't hide it from you."

A crooked human figure emerged from the shadow of the alley wall.She dipped the pen into the ink, and wrote a line on the rice paper: "Take it. Your son is full of aura and talent. But after all, he is different from your ancestors. He is a mortal, and there are things he can't do."

"Thank you mother-in-law for teaching."

"It's not about teaching. It's just that if you live a long time, you'll see a lot. But... some people, even if they live for a thousand years, they still have an elm head." The black shadow pouted towards the entrance of the alley.

"Ayue, I've been looking for you everywhere—" The man in the wide-sleeved long shirt walked too hastily, and fell to the ground with a plop.

Guan Yunheng: "..." Sure enough, as long as it is someone Qin Yue knows.It's kind of weird from any angle.

Qin Yue: "... Follow the song, walk slowly."

The man gave off a strange burnt smell. If you look closely, his hair exploded, like a blooming black chrysanthemum.He got up from the ground: "Hey, Xiaoyue, why is there an extra soul around me?"

"There was a little accident. Guan Yunheng, Mr. Guan. Liu Suige, who was originally the ancient locust tree, is the owner of this demon city."

"Hello, hello. The color of your soul...is quite pretty."

Guan Yunheng: "...It's a pleasure to meet you." What does it mean to be pretty?

Liu Suige took Qin Yue's hand: "Xiao Yue, come here, let me show you something. In the past two days, I have newly realized a kind of life-and-death chisel. It is very interesting, even that soul lock chain can also be used It was chiseled open. The shortcoming... is that it is unstable."

Qin Yue stood still: "With the song..." His expression became tender and helpless for a moment.

"Ok?"

"Did you find her?"

"Ah, it was discovered." The locust tree spirit laughed sarcastically.

"What are you going to do?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, let's talk about it. Hahahaha, Xiaoyue, what is your expression?" Liu Suige shook his sleeves and laughed heartily.

After coming out of the demon city, Guan Yunheng asked: "You are a fortune teller, why do you ask others to tell fortunes? Also, isn't your surname Qin? Why did that shadow call you Mr. Xiao? Besides, he is a locust tree spirit Why is your surname Liu?"

"Occupiers don't occupy themselves. Xiao is my real surname. My surname is Qin, just because my grandfather adopted me."

Qin Yue turned around and looked at the pagoda tree: "As for Suige, it's a very long story. Thousands of years ago, there was a pagoda tree forest here. Later, there was a thunderstorm, and most of the pagoda trees were burned down by fire." Sui Ge was dying at the time, so the locals planted a small willow sapling at the root of his tree. Who knew that he survived by accident, and finally the willow tree grew deep and leafy in his arms Big. The emperor at that time regarded it as auspicious, surrounded it with wooden lattices, and called it "Wooden Immortal".

His eyes fell on the dead willow tree again: "Unfortunately, more than 100 years ago, the willow tree died, and the willow essence... reincarnated."

"Oh." Guan Yunheng felt that this might not be a pleasant story.

It was almost early morning when we took the last bus back to the village in the city, and most of the residents were already soundly asleep.There were only a few dogs barking in the distance, and a man and woman arguing.Qin Yue walked along the path for a while, then stopped, and glanced back slightly from the corner of her eye.

"What's wrong?" Guan Yunheng asked.

He didn't answer, but walked straight forward.When he got near his residence, seven or eight figures suddenly appeared out of the darkness.Someone roughly tied his hands and feet behind his back, and a tube of cold metal pressed against the back of his head.The person who came said viciously: "You are the kid that day, right? Don't move around! Do you know how much we lost because of you?!"
