"Unbearable to Copy" by Wuxin Mage

The night before, Yue Qiluo insisted on keeping vigil with the hourglass and drank again, so she slept until the sun was high on the first day of the new year before waking up.At night, he dragged Tang Shanhai to the temple fair again.

As soon as the sky darkened, the lights around the Town God's Temple were bustlingly lit.Shanghai is a modern western-style city. Only at this time does Yue Qiluo feel as if he has returned to decades ago.With sharp eyes, she saw that there were still people wearing bamboo jackets and narrow hakamas, which were still the styles of the late Qing Dynasty.She remembered that when she was Miss Yue in the past, she had a beautiful silk jacket with duck eggs and green embroidered peach blossoms, and she ran out to meet her lover after combing her hair a little.It's a pity that all the handsome students in Manchu Qing have shaved bald heads, she doesn't like it.She doesn't really like the clothes worn by the Manchus, like paper dolls. She likes skirts, but it's a pity that she doesn't have to wear them anymore.

"The sound of the phoenix flute moves, and the light of the jade pot turns." Tang Shanhai looked at the market and couldn't help sighing.

Yue Qiluo let go of him and ran to the stall, took a Kunlun slave mask and put it on for Tang Shanhai to see.The market is full of gadgets like the diabolo mask Nine Links, Yue Qiluo is running around in front of her, Tang Shanhai is afraid that she will get lost, so he trots along and follows her.

"Look, Xianyin Candle!" Yue Qiluo pointed to the revolving lantern in front of Tang Shanhai. The lantern was exquisitely made, in the style of a palace lantern.The few villains cut inside are lively, and the store has a heart, and the cuts are characters from Journey to the West.

Yue Qiluo looked at it for a long time, intending to play tricks, and handed it over with a trick. The paper figurines turned like wild horses that had run loose, and the outlines could not be seen clearly, which made others scream in shock.Yue Qiluo played a trick, turned her head and giggled at Tang Shanhai.

Apart from the hawkers who sell things, there are also many folk artists who come to join in the fun.It's just that those puppet shadow puppet tricks are not new to Yue Qiluo, but there is an artist in front of him pushing a big wooden box with a cloth banner hanging on it, and there is a book on it to pull foreign films.Yue Qiluo had never seen it before, so she was very curious, so she went to ask Tang Shanhai what it was.

"The folks don't have movies to watch, so they make their own paintings, which are called foreign movies." Tang Shanhai explained to her, "If you are curious, go and see it."

Yue Qiluo was naturally happy to watch it. Tang Shanhai walked to the jewelry stall while she was watching foreign films, and saw a lot of jade hairpins on the stall, all of which were in the old style of the Qing Dynasty.Although Xu Bicheng likes these old things, he never likes to wear jewelry.He thought about what Yue Qiluo would look like wearing a jasper hairpin, and picked a jade phoenix in his hand to look at it.Suddenly remembering that Yue Qiluo had short hair and couldn't wear the hairpin, she laughed to herself.

Just thinking about it, there was a scream from the side of the film, and the child fell off the chair in fright, shouting: "The villain is alive! It is alive!" Then he threw himself into his mother's arms and cried loudly. The artist who pulls foreign films is at a loss next to him.Seeing that Yue Qiluo was no longer there, Tang Shanhai turned around and saw that she was standing behind him, smiling cunningly.

"If you continue to make troubles like this, I will take you back." Tang Shanhai walked over and said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid to attract Taoist priests who catch ghosts if you scare others?"

"What are Taoist priests? I'm also one of those old-fashioned masters!" Yue Qiluo raised her head at him, pointed behind him and said, "Is that a juggling troupe?"

A grand event that only comes once a year in Shanghai, naturally talented people come forth in large numbers.The troupe in front of me is a well-known troupe. The small and simple stage is full of people, a few dwarfs, capable people who swallow swords or break big stones, and some people perform absurd pole performances with puppets. The man took a sip of his wine and spit out a burst of fire into the air, attracting praise from others.

But Yue Qiluo lost interest after watching it for a long time, yawned, and said: "I can become better than him." Looking around again, he wondered, "Why didn't you see the lantern?"

"The lanterns won't be available until the fifteenth day. I'll bring you to the temple fair after the Lantern Festival."

Someone set off fireworks again in the distance, Yue Qiluo looked up, although there is no moon tonight, the sky is full of stars, there are fireworks and praying lanterns all over the sky, it is really lively.The human voice mixed with applause, mixed with the sound of gongs and drums.What Tang Shanhai was saying beside her, she couldn't hear clearly, only saw his mouth moving, and couldn't grasp the sound no matter what.

"Thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and moons, and thousands of miles of sky without clouds."

This singing made Yue Qiluo tremble all over, she was too familiar with this sentence.Looking back, there was only one woman left on the stage at some point.She was wearing clothes that looked like a costume, she looked weird, she took a closer look and found that there was no costume, it was obviously a Quju gown.

The woman did not wear hair accessories, her black hair was hanging down.Holding a long tobacco rod in his hand, with agate as the mouth and jasper smoking pot.The charm of a woman, the lips are painted with red rouge in the shape of petals, the center of the eyebrows is a little flower, and the cheeks are painted with meniscus dimples.The woman took a long breath of the cigarette, pursed her red lips, and exhaled a string of smoke rings.It was drawn by blowing smoke.

Yue Qiluo couldn't help looking at it, and the surrounding voices quickly moved away from her.Every time the woman takes a puff of smoke, she sings a line, which is still the same sentence "A thousand rivers have water and a thousand rivers and moons, and there are thousands of miles of sky without clouds." The singing is extremely tactful.This is a Buddhist verse, how could it fall into the mouth of a smoke blowing artist?

But the woman's smoke painting was so vivid that even Yue Qiluo couldn't help but look at it.Look around, but can't understand.Sometimes it's a little fox, sometimes it's a hand, and sometimes it's a fan.Although Yue Qiluo couldn't understand, a layer of cold sweat broke out behind his back.She was stunned uncomfortably, and was about to turn around and leave, only to realize that the surroundings had become dead silent at some point, and she wanted to be nailed in place, unable to move.Just as she was about to shout, the smoke painting girl suddenly cast her gaze on her, and sprayed a puff of smoke on her head, she couldn't dodge in time, and was caught in the spray.The smoke seemed to have a substance, pushing her backwards, Yue Qiluo reacted quickly, stepped back a few steps, and found that she could move.

She stepped firmly on the ground, took a few breaths, and took a few mouthfuls of fresh air.Surprised for a moment, he was about to tell Tang Shanhai the strange thing just now, but when he turned his head, there was no Tang Shanhai beside him.Looking back, even the stage was gone.She was obviously standing in front of a small stall selling lanterns, Yue Qiluo was puzzled, she turned around and looked around, a cold air rushed from Tianling Gai to the soles of her feet.Where is the Shanghai of the Republic of China!

Seeing the people around him dragging their robes to the floor, their hair tied in buns.Yue Qiluo stepped forward and felt a strange sensation on her leg.Looking down, she was no longer the cheongsam she wore when she went out, but a tulle skirt. She stretched out her hand to look, and there were two rings on both hands, with the skirt sandwiched between the two rings, and she turned to the Touch it on your own head.He wore a flying bun, and a gauze pinned to the top of the bun with a silver hairpin, only hanging down to his neck.

What a strange dress, it looks like a Taoist nun, but there is no Taoist nun showing two arms.Yue Qiluo panicked, no matter how many storms she had seen, she had never encountered such a thing.

She knew that this place was by no means auspicious, and it was early spring, but she broke out in cold sweats, and a chill ran through her veins.She subconsciously tried to take out the paper man to defend herself, but then remembered that this physical body was not her own.Yue Qiluo could only hear her heart beating like a drum, and she only wanted to find Tang Shanhai.

She ran around in the market against the flow of people, her forehead was covered with a thin layer of white sweat.The people around were all very strange, she couldn't find Tang Shanhai, she didn't know where he went or what demon took his soul.She was out of breath from running, and her tulle skirt was also dirty by her own footsteps.Suddenly, there was a lantern riddle stand in front of it, and a beautiful lantern was placed on the stand. Next to it was a pot of pearl dwarf orchids, which bloomed just right and had a strong fragrance.She suddenly had a splitting headache and could no longer walk half a step, covering her head and screaming.

"Tangshanhai!"

People around stopped and looked sideways.

"Tang Shanhai!!!"

She screamed loudly, a burst of blood gushed out of her throat, and the headache stopped without warning.Yue Qiluo seemed to hear someone calling her, and raised her head to look around.There is a face in the crowd far away, who is it not Tang Shanhai?

Surprised and delighted, she lifted her skirt and ran over, but no matter how hard she ran, she couldn't catch up. Tang Shanhai's feet seemed to be equipped with hot wheels. The more she chased, the farther away she was.Yue Qiluo was anxious to call him Tang Shanhai, but he didn't answer, and called him Zhang Xianzong again, which made his throat hurt.He suddenly stepped on the hem of his skirt, his center of gravity was unsteady for a moment, and he was about to fall head-on.Yue Qiluo reacted quickly, grabbing the corner of the man in front to stand firm.

When the man was pulled by her, he stopped and looked back at her.Yue Qiluo was stunned when she saw that he was wearing a long gray and coarse cloth gown and looked along the clothes.It is Tang Shanhai.

"Tang Shanhai?" Yue Qiluo looked at his face in a daze, then changed her mouth, "Zhang Xianzong?"

No, she knew in her heart that it was not his name.She knew him, not Tang Shanhai, nor Zhang Xianzong.But the name was on her lips, and she couldn't say it.The person in front of her was wearing a headscarf, and a gentle beauty was slung in her arms. The beauty was wearing a jade ring on her head, and she stared at her in amazement: "Hua Yue?"

flower moon?Who is Huayue?

Yue Qiluo felt like falling into an ice cave, her vision seemed to be coated with a layer of black borders, she became dizzy for a while, her voice couldn't be heard clearly, she was drifting about, and she was about to fall into a dream.Suddenly someone called her above her head: "Qi Luo!" Like a thunder, she gasped in shock and opened her eyes.

In front of him was Tang Shanhai's face, looking flustered.Yue Qiluo raised his heart and looked at him, short hair, suit, it was Tang Shanhai himself.She realized that she was already standing in the temple fair of the Town God's Temple, she stood up abruptly, and looked at the stage, "What about the woman blowing the smoke painting?"

"What's the woman blowing smoke? Qiluo, what's wrong with you?" Tang Shanhai looked at her with a worried face, "I was just watching a magic trick just now, but suddenly passed out, and I can't wake you up no matter how much I scream , I thought you were sick."

"A woman who doesn't have a painting of blowing smoke?" Yue Qiluo felt cold in her heart, then just now...could it be that someone wanted to take her life and set her up with some kind of enchantment?

"Let's go, Qiluo." Tang Shanhai unquestionably pulled her over, "There are too many people here, I'm worried that it's because you haven't rested well, and it's easy to disturb your mind. Let's go to Yu Garden."

Yue Qiluo was still thinking about what happened just now, and let Tang Shanhai lead her away.As soon as she entered the Yu Garden, the hustle and bustle outside was immediately subdued, and she quickly left.Yue Qiluo chose a small pavilion to sit down. Tang Shanhai didn't know what she was doing there. She sat in the slightly cold spring breeze, her clothes were soaked in cold sweat and stuck to her body, making her shiver slightly.

"Qiluo, you were really scary just now." Tang Shanhai sat back beside her, "If I hadn't caught you, I'm afraid I'd fall out of the water again. When you passed out, your teeth were closed tightly, your brows were frowning, and you were sweating all the time I couldn't wake up even when I pinched someone, but fortunately I woke up." Speaking of this, he saw that Yue Qiluo was still shaking, so he took off his coat and put it on her.

"I..." Yue Qiluo didn't know how to explain to him, it was rare for her to be so confused.What happened just now was too weird, even though she had lived for thousands of years, it was the first time she encountered such an exquisite enchantment.

Just as he was thinking, there was a muffled sound not far away.Yue Qiluo looked up in response to the reputation, and it turned out to be fireworks.I don't know who set off the fireworks in the Yu Garden. It was the first time she saw it so close. She had to look up to see the fireworks in the sky clearly, like a silver chrysanthemum with crab claws.Yue Qiluo was so engrossed that she forgot to think about the strange thing just now.

"Yesterday you said you liked fireworks, but you didn't realize it." Tang Shanhai said softly beside her, "Look."

"nice."

Yue Qiluo raised her neck, not feeling tired.She looked at the fireworks, and felt that the sentence "beautiful" just now was not said by herself.She remembered what she had done in the past, and it seemed that she hadn't done it herself. In 1000 years, it is enough for a person to go crazy hundreds of times and resurrect hundreds of times. The woman she was 1000 years ago, the woman 500 years ago, and the woman 50 years ago are not the woman she is now.She still likes fireworks, it must have been 1000 years ago, right?She remembered that when she was still in the Taoist temple, she was a miscellaneous messenger sweeping the floor in the backyard. The Taoist temple was built in the mountains, and only during the Spring Festival could the shadow of fireworks be seen from a distance in a year.She just lay on the top of the wall and watched in a daze. She didn't know it when she fell asleep, and she fell from the top of the wall and got hurt all over her body.No one would care about her. She was born unattractive, and with a few scars, she was even more unattractive.In the end, she died on the side of the road, and no one cared about her.

Tang Shanhai also went to watch the fireworks, his shoulders sank as he watched.He turned his head to look, and it turned out that Yue Qiluo fell asleep leaning on his shoulder at some point. She seemed to be sick just now, and she didn't tell him, probably because she was exhausted.When Yue Qiluo fell asleep, she was like a harmless little beast. No one would have guessed that she would be the Demon King when she opened her eyes.He gently put her on the bench, covered her, and walked away.

Tao Dachun came out from the shadows and stood in front of Tang Shanhai.He has been waiting here for a long time.

"Do it tomorrow and kill Su Sansheng."

"Okay." Tao Dachun nodded, stroking the handle of the gun at his waist with his fingers.Tang Shanhai stood in the shadow of the stone wall, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and it seemed that he was watching fireworks, thinking about something.
