Envy

Later people said that Eternal Night is a withered city that will never die.He came on horseback, facing the howling wind.The winter in Yongye in Huaizhong was actually a bit colder than the winter in Zhao Lincheng in Huaibei.The old man guarding the city was still the same old man from many years ago. He was thin and stooped, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind.

He was still wearing a pair of worn-out straw sandals, supported by a bamboo pole, walked tremblingly, and opened the city gate for them.

When Meng Tou entered the city, he saw an old swallow paper kite hanging on a tree, so he stopped and looked up a few more times.The young disciple who was traveling with him was going north, and someone called him, saying "Uncle Master, come quickly".Song Jingran said: "Master, it's just a torn paper kite, it's gone."

He responded, and still stared at it for a while, until the last few disciples had gone away, then he slowly turned around.The moment he turned around, a gust of wind came from his ears, and when he turned his head, the paper kite had turned into a female ghost with green face and fangs, and was rushing towards him.

Meng Tou subdued the wild ghost with only two moves.

The wild ghost immediately faded into the appearance of a kind girl, and begged meekly: "Sir, please forgive me. The little girl has always been kind and has never done evil. After death, she turned into a paper kite. She just wants to spend the remaining years with grandpa. Please forgive me, sir!"

Meng Tou asked, "Is your grandfather in the city?"

"The gatekeeper is my grandfather." The wild ghost said, "My parents passed away early, and my grandfather and I depended on each other for life. But later, I also died of illness... I haven't been able to fulfill my filial piety in front of my grandfather. I just want to guard my grandfather. I beg you to fulfill me, don't accept the little girl."

The wild ghost fell on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

"I saw that this place is very dark, so I came here to have a look. I pity you for your filial piety, so I won't accept you." He said, "Let me ask you, have any people from outside the city visited Eternal Night City recently?"

Ye Ling shook his head: "I've never seen it before."

"Is there any change in that city?"

"Recently, there are a few Yinling brothers and sisters walking on the street at night."

"How many?"

"Yes. A few."

Meng Tou made a rough guess in his heart, and when he returned to the city lord's mansion and met the city lord, he had a definite answer.It wasn't a wild spirit riot in Eternal Night City, but a few wild spirits wandering around at night. The new city owner, who thought he was fearless, was frightened, so he sent someone to ask for help.

The new castellan behaved dissolutely, lazy and rough.The man has reached his thirties, with thick stubble around his lips.He tugged at Meng Tou's sleeve, told his worries, and asked Mu Mi's disciples for help.

As he spoke, he looked up at the beams of the house, and said that he now felt that the house was full of wild spirits, and the concubines around him were all illusions of wild spirits.When he spoke, even his face was pale, and he looked quite frightened.

His dad was a general, but he looked like a softie.People like to be brave in front of others, but when things happen, they become cowardly.

As soon as Meng Tou said that the wild spirits would be wiped out tomorrow, he felt relieved, his expression was no longer worried and nervous, he straightened his clothes, took a few steps leisurely, and ordered his servants to hold a dinner party. Looking not afraid, his voice also rang.

This incident made all sects feel uneasy, and Meng Tou came here with hundreds of disciples.The young disciple didn't mind it, he just took it out for a play.They practiced in Muji since they were young, and they seldom come out, so they talked and laughed at the dinner party, eating to their heart's content.

The new city master is really an indulgent person. After drinking some wine, he began to play drinking orders and jokes with the young disciples.Talking more and more out of bounds.He tried to turn the conversation to Huo Zhi, but Huo Zhi was as cold as ice and ignored him at all.He turned back bored and continued laughing and chatting with the young disciple.

Meng Xi also came to Yongye, and she was the only girl at the dinner, her face was red when she heard it.

The new city lord loves beauty, loves daughter Jiao'e, and also loves beauty and child molestation.While he was eloquent, Fei Yu came in with a brocade robe, put it on for Meng Tou, and then sat down beside Meng Tou.

While throwing peanuts into his mouth, the new city lord looked straight at Fei Yu and said with a smile, "This disciple is very much like an old friend of mine."

A disciple said: "Wrong! That's not our Mu Mi's disciple, it's the people around Master Meng."

Meng Tou looked over with a glance, and the disciple lost all alcohol in an instant, and fell silent.

Fei Yu was not far from the new city lord. The new city lord wanted to hold his hand, but he quietly put his hand into his sleeve.The new city lord still had a smile on his face, leaned closer and stared at him for a while, and said, "Oh, they really look alike, the eyes are exactly the same."

A disciple asked: "City Master, who is the old man you mentioned?"

"Well, you must know if you tell me." The new city lord sat up straight, straightened his sleeves slowly, and then pursed his lips pretending to be serious and said, "Young Master Yan from Xiqie Palace."

The disciple's smile changed: "So it's him...it's really him..."

"Well, he came to Yongye once and had a relationship with me. It's a pity that he disappeared later, and I don't know where he went." He regretted, looking at Fei Yu, "Today I saw this I thought of him as a young master. It looks...really very similar."

As soon as this remark came out, the entire table fell silent.Song Jingran peeked at Meng Tou's expression, Meng Tou was expressionless, and the dishes and chopsticks were neatly placed in front of him.

The new city lord didn't know it, but he was still talking about his love history, how he and Yan Shaojun met and how they knew each other.

Song Jingran looked at Meng Tou, sweating in his heart, obviously he had nothing to do with him, but he felt embarrassed.

Xue Ye tugged at his sleeve under the table, covered his lips and said softly, "Brother Tou, in front of so many nephews today, don't...don't be impulsive."

Xue Ye really felt that Meng Tou could throw the table and scold people recklessly, or directly go up and grab the skirt of the new city lord, throw him into the yard to fight with him, or bring his disciples back to Muyu.

However, Meng Tou really swallowed his breath and drank as usual.

Seeing that the uncle was not competing with each other anymore, the disciple gradually relaxed, and then he was attracted by the story of the new city lord's love story, and he was excited to hear it.

Meng Tou didn't eat anything, only drank a jug of wine, and left the banquet early when he was drunk.The new city owner laughed at him for being too drunk.Before he left, he heard the new city lord say: "He hooked my waist at that time, and he said 'husband, my legs are weak'..." Afterwards, there was a booing sound from his disciples.

Then came the voice of his apprentice Song Jingran: "You are talking nonsense! Shaojun is not such a person!"

Meng Tou had already walked out the door and did not continue listening.As soon as he turned out the door, he slammed his fist hard on the black painted pillar, dropped the wine bottle and went back to sleep.He couldn't tell what mood he was in, pushed open the door, and fell asleep as soon as he leaned against the bed.He felt that something was pressing on his body and heart, making him unable to breathe.

He was so drunk that he was so sleepy that he couldn't sleep.My mind was confused, and I didn't know what ridiculous idea was turning around.He felt that the corners of his eyes were a little wet, his fingers closed and tightened into fists, and he hit the bed with a layer of quilt under him with all his strength, and then let go weakly.

Damn it, he thought, this sucks.
