days of being a ghost

——No matter what other people or demons think or do, this world is still so beautiful that people yearn for it.

"Hmph, do you have to give you a few pieces of spirit wood before giving up? A while ago I gave that monster two once, and this time I gave one piece. It's really a prodigal who doesn't know fun things." Xuan Mo muttered for a while, " Speaking of which, where are you going next?"

Mo Wuchang was silent, she squinted her almond eyes and stared at the red clouds beyond that day for a long time before replying: "Then go and find Sanji Gui, maybe he will know what I want to know."

With that said, she walked towards the intoxicated sunset.

Soon, like the setting sun, it disappeared on the distant horizon.

Chapter [-]. Inushan Winery

Under the spring rain, everything seems to be covered with a layer of smoky green, and the green hill in the distance is even more moistened.

It was a small wine shop with a white flag with blue stripes written in big characters "Wine Shop" waving quietly.An old man smoking a pipe was sitting on a bench under the eaves. He watched the raindrops falling from the eaves. He narrowed his old eyes and murmured: "It's another new year. When the rain stops, I will Gotta go check out the wine."

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the bluestone steps that stretched down to the foot of the mountain. He was holding a light blue paper umbrella and wearing a green kimono, which blended in perfectly with the surrounding greenery.

As the man approached, the old man also recognized him, so he lazily stretched out his hand to say hello, without any intention of hospitality, "Hey, Mr. Li, come to drink again."

The paper umbrella in front of the man's face moved up slowly, first revealing a single upturned lip, and then the golden eyes that were opened one by one, in which deep understanding and playfulness were deposited.

"Hey, Boss Inushan." Nuliang Liban joked: "The guests come from a long way down the mountain but they can't greet them. No wonder the business of this restaurant is getting more and more deserted."

The old man Inushan snorted, and still sat there calmly and took a puff of cigarette, "I'm not afraid of deep alleys because of the smell of wine, and real people are not afraid of climbing mountains. You, Mr. Li, are one of them." one of them?"

Nuliang Liban laughed, "Yes, yes, besides, I'm not a real person."

Inushan Winery is a small winery located on the hillside of Inushan Mountain. If guests want to go there, they have to climb the 99 bluestone steps from the foot of the mountain to get there.At this point, someone will say, hey, who wants to go to a small wine shop to drink after all this suffering!

Needless to say, there are plenty of people who are willing to suffer.Only because of the famous "Hundred Years Awamori" of Inuyama Sake Shop.

The older the awamori, the more fragrant and mellow it is, and the older it is, the more flavorful it is.However, this small winery in Inuyama has lasted for a hundred years. The family’s ancestors have been making this craft of awamori for generations. In this way, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is naturally the pure taste of "century-old awamori".

In order to taste this extraordinary taste, those who are looking for purchases, those who love wine, those who are alcoholics, those who are apprentices, etc., all went up the mountain one after another. Son, so every spring, when the old wine is opened, the Nuliang carp partner will turn into Mr. carp to report on time, and they are all acquainted with the boss of Inuyama.

"Hmph..." Elder Inuyama narrowed his eyes, glanced at the dry hem of the young man's kimono and the bluestone steps that were difficult for ordinary people to climb due to the rain, and smiled without saying a word.After a while, he got up unhurriedly, wiped his hands on his sides, "Today is the day when the old wine is opened. According to the rules, my store can decide to put the first jar of wine today. Who to sell it to. But Mr. Li went up the mountain alone after waiting for the old man, and judging by the situation, the first jar of awamori this year will belong to Mr. Li again."

"That's that, not only the first altar, the second altar, and the third altar are all mine." Nuliang Liban nodded in agreement, as if it should be taken for granted.That's right, he already knew where Boss Inushan's good wine was buried, but he is not the old man who likes to eat and drink overlord meals, so it would be too wicked to dig up a family's treasures from generation to generation.

At this moment, another figure appeared on the slippery bluestone steps. That person didn't even hold an umbrella, and was drenched in the rain out of thin air. He seemed not to be affected by the rain, but strode forward three steps at a time. , I stared at Mr. Inuyama in a daze, thinking that I was finally old and dim.

Unlike the old man, Nuliang Liban was overjoyed the moment he saw that figure, and his brows were filled with joy.

Hey!Look at that silent appearance, is it a ghost girl or someone else!Some time ago, he was worried about where to find her, but now he has nowhere to find her, and it takes no effort to get her!Today is really a happy day, not only will there be fine wine unsealed, but also beautiful women to accompany.Wait for a while, but watch him make tricks to keep the ghost girl behind!

But Nu Liang Li’s brows suddenly frowned after being happy for a while, it was warm and cold, not only did the ghost girl take off her scarf, but she didn’t use her hand to hold an umbrella, the cold rain that was falling could all stain her hair , covered face slightly.

The girl himself didn't care much, but he didn't want to see her suffering from the bottom of his heart.Thinking of this, Nuliang Liban couldn't help scolding "that family member" that Mo Wuchang was looking for so hard.

Let me tell you first, it's definitely not that he is petty and jealous, but, it's... He always felt that ghost girls favored one another.For that person who travels day and night, I just ignore him when I come to him.Although that girl knew the ghost earlier than him, there is no such thing as a first-come-first-come-first-served relationship.

Besides, Mr. Nu Liang is young and handsome, and he is also a general. How come such a way of adding points won't work on the ghost girl's side? He is so pitiful!Nuliang Liban teased himself in his heart, and walked quickly to Mo Wuchang.

Mo Wuchang only felt that he was still drenched in cold rain one moment, but the next moment his head was no longer chilly, and there was an additional heat source in front of him.When she looked up suddenly, she met a pair of warm golden eyes, which seemed to reflect the fluffy greenery and fine sunlight.

The man smiled at her in the same tone as before: "Yo, long time no see, ghost girl."

It is a very lucky thing to meet an old friend on the road, and Mo Wuchang felt a sense of warmth in addition to being pleasantly surprised. She unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth and eyebrows with a smile, "Well, long time no see, Mr. Erli."

The paper umbrella of Nuliang Carp's partner is quite wide, and it can barely cover them.The rain dripped from the edge of the umbrella, and Mo Wuchang was next to Nuliang Liban, and the two walked up the bluestone steps side by side.

Nuliang Liban stretched out his hand and rubbed Mo Wuchang's wet hair, distressed in his eyes, but he still joked, "Why did the girl come to this mountain, and she also came to taste the Kaitu awamori wine?"

Kaito's Awamori?Mo Wuchang's head was full of question marks, she only knew about burning knives, Nv'erhong, or carved flowers, but apart from her alcoholic master, she really didn't know about Shilaozi and good wine here.So she shook her head solemnly, "No, it's not. I'm here to find the owner of the Inuyama Winery."

Nuliang Liban raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing with Boss Inuyama? Ah, he is not a hospitable boss."

As soon as a certain bad general finished speaking, an old man's voice came, "Ah, did the girl come all the way for the awamori wine from the small shop? Good, good!" The old man stroked his gray beard and laughed, "Then I will Sell ​​that first jar of awamori to the girl!"

Mo Wuchang: "..." Isn't this very hospitable?

"Hey, hey, boss, there is no such thing. Didn't you say that the first jar of wine belongs to me?" Nuliang Liban shouted from the side, but he was not in a hurry, as if he didn't care about the ownership of the last jar of wine .

Mo Wuchang also said: "Shopkeeper, I'm not here to sell wine, I just want to ask you for news."

"Hey! Why don't you come to Tan Awamori when you come to my Inuyama Winery, otherwise I will be sorry for climbing the stairs!" The old man smiled and opened the door of the restaurant, "Then come in, two guests, and choose a good seat. The wine will be served later, lest some people complain about my poor hospitality."

The lanterns hanging in the wine shop swayed, looking through the window, the drizzle was still falling.

After entering the room, Mo Wuchang put on the fluffy scarf hidden in his sleeve.Nuliang Liban glanced sideways, seeing that the scarf he gave was cherished so much, he didn't know whether it was joy or helplessness.

Mo Wuchang silently listened to the end of the greetings between Nuliang Liban and the boss, and then brought up the question he wanted to ask.The girl in black stared at the old man with clear eyes, "Shopkeeper, have you heard of 'Sanji ghost'?"

Elder Inuyama said "Hey", "So the girl wanted to know about this!" His eyes showed a smug look, "By the way, this 'Sanji ghost' has a lot to do with our wine shop, although I haven't met it personally. , but ah, I heard that the old elders of my grandpa's generation did meet the 'Sanji ghost'!"

Nuliang Liban felt a headache for a while, thinking that the family that the ghost girl is looking for is the 'Sanji ghost'?That's hard to do, Sanji ghost's whereabouts are uncertain, even if the big and small monsters mobilize the Nuliang group to inquire about the news, I'm afraid it will be various and not accurate enough.

"I was still a boy at that time, and my grandfather was still alive." The old man Inuyama opened up the chatter box without hiding it, "My grandfather said that when he was young, he was taking advantage of the chaos of war, so he often encountered monsters and ghosts. kind, and the Inuyama family has dealt with alcohol for generations, so he has encountered many monsters related to alcohol, and 'Sanji Ghost' is one of them."

"If you want to talk about Sanji ghost, you have to say Shuten-douji." The old man continued, "I heard from my grandfather that Shuten-douji is a monster with powerful magic power. He loves two things the most, one is girls and the other is fine wine. come to eat
