devil in heart

Chapter 4 Taboo

【Black Dragon Clothes, White Jade】

Baipu City, a piece of pure white jade scattered in the southwestern border.

If the outside world is changing with each passing day, then Baipu City is a treasure forgotten by time.

The colleagues in the same company were chattering, and even Jing An was curiously looking at the quaint buildings around him, until an old man coughed twice, and the chattering girls and boys couldn't help lowering their volumes.

In fact, the people in Baipu City are warm and hospitable, but there is a premise that you can't treat them as heretics, and you can't treat yourself as a heretic.

The local guide invited by the director took them into the local clothing store.

"Do you want to change it?" Jing An felt a headache looking at the dazzling decorations on the wall.

The end of Xie Muyou's eyes couldn't help but curl up, and he said affirmatively, "Yes, of course."

Jing An was pushed into the fitting room by Xie Muyou, and then a bunch of colorful clothes were stuffed in from outside the curtain, and someone slowly blocked the door: "Try a set for me, we will choose slowly."

Jing An: "..."

The southwest is hot and humid, so Bai Pu's clothes are naturally not heavy, but Jing An looked down at his exposed waist, and felt that Xie Qi must be messing with him.

But he hasn't done anything recently, has he?

Jing An, who began to reflect seriously, pulled back the curtain with a dark face.

Xie Muyou couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, causing colleagues around to look at them.

Xie Muyou took a few steps forward to block their sight tightly, and stuffed a set of pure black clothes in his hand: "Try this set."

Jing An just wanted to refuse, but seeing the smile in his eyes, the words of rejection rolled around his mouth and swallowed.

The moment he took the clothes, he hooked it on his palm, and was satisfied to see that Xie Qi's pale earlobe was dyed a touch of red.

Jing An, who opened the curtain again, attracted almost everyone's attention. He was dressed in black, which is rare in Baipu City, with a dragon embroidered with silver thread on it.The jacket is still very short, but the tassels are replaced by thin cloth hooked with silver thread.

The cropped trousers on the lower body are trimmed with silver thread, and then down are a pair of silver-white boots with pure black dark patterns on them.

All the men in the store flocked to the cash register and clamored for the same style, but the old man behind the wooden counter waved his hand without saying a word, turned and entered the room.

Jing An didn't pay attention, but Xie Muyou didn't care.

"You don't change?"

"Me?" Xie Muyou scratched his chin, "I won't."

"This set." Jing An had taken a look at a set of clothes a long time ago, so he reached out and took a set of clothes and stuffed them for Xie Qi without needing to hold them up.

Five minutes later, two men, one black and one white, appeared on the street.Xie Muyou tugged at his clothes uncomfortably: "Do others think black and white are impermanent?"

"have you seen?"

"No." Xie Muyou denied it categorically, he was wearing white clothes with golden threads, which was extraordinarily dazzling under the sun.Xie Muyou's body is actually more eye-catching than Jing An's, but no one dares to wear the same style, after all, there are not many people who are as white as Xie Muyou.

But his whiteness made Jing An feel extremely uncomfortable: "Do you usually not eat?"

"Didn't I usually eat with you?" Xie Muyou was puzzled.

"Then why are you so dull?"

Xie Muyou's whiteness is not porcelain white, but pale, that kind of morbid paleness with all the blood gone.

"Hmm." Xie Muyou avoided Jing An's sight, and said nonchalantly, "Maybe I didn't rest well on the train."

Jing An raised his eyebrows, and squinted his eyes to stare at his back who was one step ahead of him, is it like this...?

Since they were all with the kindergarteners, they were happy to save trouble, and followed them to find an inn to live in.Jing An chose an attic room, which was a bit small, but the side windows could be opened to see the stars outside.

Jing An put down his luggage, opened the window, and looked at the blue sky and white walls and black tiles outside, feeling very happy.

"Want to go shopping?"

Xie Qi naturally agreed.

But this kind of good mood didn't last long, Jing'an noticed that someone was following them when they left the inn, but they couldn't get rid of them even after walking two streets.

Finally, the man saw the right opportunity and approached with a blushing face: "Can I take a photo with you?"

Jing An: "..." Why are you following the group photo and can't you just say it?He also thought that someone was plotting against them.

Xie Muyou looked at Yu Tong who was running all the way sweating profusely: "Sorry."

When Yu Tong heard that he was going to refuse, he immediately came up with a set of excuses he had thought up: "Your clothes are very handsome, so I want to send a photo to my friend."

"Can I take a photo with Mr. Xie first?" Yu Tong stuffed his mobile phone into a passerby's hand, "Please take a photo for us."

Just as Xie Muyou was about to take a step forward, the man had already snapped several photos.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie's photo is over, next is Mr. Jing, Mr. Jing..." She clasped her hands together and begged.

Before Jing An could respond, Xie Muyou frowned: "No, no."

Under Yu Tong's wounded and astonished gaze, Xie Muyou dragged Jing An away like this.

The Second Monk Jing Anzhang who was dragged away was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"I'm just..." Even after a long time, he didn't say the rest.

After a while, Xie Muyou let go of Jing An's wrist: "It's nothing, I seem to be too nervous recently."

Revisiting the old place, in addition to nostalgia and excitement, there is also a sense of uneasiness that he himself does not understand.

Jing An felt the sudden loss of temperature on his wrist, grabbed Xie Muyou's palm and pressed it back to his own wrist: "Grab it if you're nervous."

The scenery of Baipu City was as beautiful as a picture scroll, but Xie Qi was not in the right state, and Jing An didn't force it, so he took him back to the inn.

When returning to the lobby of the inn, he unexpectedly ran into Ding Yu who had disappeared for a long time. Ding Yu also changed into Bai Pu's traditional clothes at this time.Under the short skirt, the blue knee-length sarong is embroidered with complicated flower patterns.She was more surprised than them, and opened her mouth when she saw them.

"Why are you dressed like this?!"

"Is there a problem?" Jing An was dissatisfied, Xie Qi picked out his clothes, and Xie Qida's clothes were picked by him, no matter which one Ding Yu was talking about, he couldn't be happy.

"Hurry up and replace them."

"I'm sorry, Miss Ding, I'm tired." Xie Muyou signaled Jing An to go first, but he was half a step behind, and when he passed by Ding Yu, he threw down a cold sentence: "I know I am What are you doing, I hope you know too."

In the tailor shop not far from the inn.

The little girl in the shop saw the black and white figure returning to the inn again, and couldn't help but turn around and ask her grandfather, "Master, why don't you sell clothes to those people?"

The old man was rolling clothes, and shook his head when he heard the words: "In my younger life, I am not sensible."

The little girl refused, and circled around the old man: "What about the first man?"

"Heh." The old man's wrinkled face was full of worry: "That's because I don't know the heights of heaven and earth."

***

The sky is high and the earth is thick, maybe Xie Muyou didn't understand it in the past, but now he understands it.

There is heaven above, and reincarnation below.

How can it be the turn of a certain creature who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth?

It's just that he always wants, always wants, to make Jing An as comfortable as possible, even if Jing An doesn't care about such things, and it will bring them some troubles.

But Xie Qi cares.

"Did you call me out?"

Ding Yu gritted his teeth: "I know I have the ability, but in Baipu, too many people can kill you without anyone noticing. People here's beliefs are worth more than their lives."

She took a deep breath and continued: "Bai Pu has strict rules, and there are many taboos that are not outside. I know you may not be clear, but these people don't care if you know, they will only think that you violated the taboo and offended the gods."

She wanted to bring these two back to the clan, she thought that Xie Muyou was always afraid of trouble, but she never thought that he would be so ostentatious this time.

"In Baipu, white is used for distinguished guests, so it's okay for you to use it." Ding Yu paused, "But black is a color that only gods can use."

"Where did Teacher Jing's clothes come from? There shouldn't be any shops here that dare to sell black clothes."

"Yes." Xie Muyou said lightly, "I know."

"What?" Ding Yu blurted out.

"Well, I know." Xie Muyou repeated, "Is there anything else?"

"You know why you still want to..." Ding Yu grabbed his clothes hem anxiously: "You know, then why do you still want to do this?"

"Or... did you do it on purpose?" Ding Yu looked at him in disbelief when he thought of this possibility, and his voice was hoarse: "You will kill us like this."

"Yes, I did it on purpose." Xie Muyou let go happily, "I just want to see how forgetful people can be."

"What?" Ding Yu was surrounded by clouds and mist. She understood every word of Xie Muyou's words, but it was hard to understand them together.

"Yes, I'm just venting my anger, I'm not convinced." Xie Muyou's hostility suddenly found a breakthrough and vented out.

Ding Yu was at a loss for a moment, when she wanted to ask if you could be more mature as an adult, she heard Xie Muyou's chuckle, the kind of smile that makes people feel colder in the dark: "So, don't use those tricks. Don't you want to see my emotions? This is it."

"Also, let go." Xie Muyou twitched the corner of his mouth, "Someone will be upset if they read it."

Ding Yu subconsciously let go of the spells all over his body, and when he looked up, he saw a black figure sitting on the roof, who seemed to be staring at them all the time.
