India

When Mo Nan woke up the next day, he felt a familiar pain coming from his head, and the feeling of hangover became more and more obvious.

He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling, adapting to the rising sharp pains, and began to accept the fact that he was drunk last night.

It's just that compared to the hangover from a long time ago, this time I feel much better, and Mo Nan feels strangely relaxed. Although he is a little tired, there is a sense of relaxation after fatigue, like some heaviness in his body. All the discomfort was released.

Could it be sleepwalking?Mo Nan looked down at his well-dressed clothes, shook his head and denied the idea, and even felt that he looked good.

Stretching for a long time, his eyes casually fell to one side, and suddenly met a sleeping face, so frightened that he stretched halfway and then stopped.

Mo Nan began to believe countless times that no matter how many times he watched Ji Guiran suddenly appear in front of him, it was still scary.

It's just that after being frightened, my courage became bigger and bigger.He looked at Ji Guiran's sleeping face, the man was sleeping sideways to him, with a strand of hair on his forehead hanging down his face, Mo Nan couldn't help but want to reach out and touch him.

Unexpectedly, before meeting Ji Guiran, he opened his eyes first.

"..." Mo Nan's hand stopped in the air, paused and then retracted it immediately, but he didn't know that he looked like he was doing something bad, and he was caught halfway.

Ji Guiran obviously didn't want to care about his small movements, sat up and was about to get up, the bedding was lifted by the movement of getting up, Mo Nan felt a bit cold when he came into contact with the outside air.

"Hey, is this how you treat a person with a headache?" Mo Nan asked.

Ji Guiran glanced at him expressionlessly, and asked, "Have a headache and still be talkative?"

"I'd love to...hey, did I get drunk again last night?"

"Yes."

"It's strange to say that the wine tasted like sugar water, but I didn't expect it to be intoxicating," Mo Nan recalled with great interest, "Hey, when you came back, did I finish drinking it?"

"kindness."

"Am I drunk?"

"..."

"?"

Mo Nan looked at Ji Guiran's increasingly complicated expression, he thought that this person would interrupt him impatiently in the next second, and then turned a deaf ear to his question, but he didn't expect Ji Guiran to just answer "It's okay ", then lifted the quilt and got off the bed.

"..." This time it was Mo Nan who looked complicated.

Terrible, something is wrong with this guy today, is it going to rain red?he murmured.

Before he could figure out why, Ji Guiran glanced back at him, and changed the topic to another place: "Don't forget what day it is today, white-haired old demon."

After being reminded by him, Mo Nan also remembered, but he was very dissatisfied with the four-character title at the end. He said, "Who are you calling a demon?! You are the demon, the thousand-year-old snake demon, bah."

"If you're so energetic, get out of bed quickly."

"Oh... just wait!"

Hastily put on his clothes and got off the bed, Mo Nan followed Ji Gui at every step, followed him out of the room, and asked a little doubtfully, "Where are you going?"

"What are you doing with me?"

"I... isn't today a grand ceremony?"

"I asked people in this village, it was at night, you should stay in the house during the day."

"..." Seeing that the person in front of him was about to leave again, Mo Nan quickly grabbed him, "I want to go out too!"

"?"

"That...well... I'm going to be suffocated in the house, I haven't seen the sun for many days... I want to go out to get some air." Mo Nan tried to persuade, "Don't worry! I... scare people to take responsibility!... ..."

Ji Guiran looked at the faltering person in front of him, and said calmly after a while: "Then follow along."

Without observing Mo Nan's flattered expression, he paced out. The people behind were stunned for a while, and then followed with a little joy.

As if he really took him out to relax, Ji Guiran, who was walking ahead, chose a remote road and met no one along the way, which was exactly what Mo Nan wanted.It's not good to just come out to relax. It's really scary.

But even if he didn't meet anyone, Mo Nan still felt a little uneasy, and he didn't know where this uneasy feeling came from.As he walked, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

Logically speaking, the annual celebration sounds like it should be lively and joyful, but looking at the atmosphere of every household, it is as if they are facing a big enemy, so quiet that it is a bit scary.

Could it be affected by what happened last year?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously asked the people around him: "Don't you think it's a little strange?"

"what?"

"This village is too quiet... Besides, I always have a sense of foreboding."

"If that's the case, don't do that."

Mo Nan was stunned, and after realizing what Ji Guiran was talking about, he hurriedly said: "That's not good, I promised others, if I run away now, they won't chase me in the whole village?

"Let's chase and kill."

"You?!" Mo Nan's anger suddenly became a little bit up. He wanted to refute something, but his hand was grabbed first, "...??"

Ji Guiran still had the same expression for thousands of years, he moved his lips and said two words: "I am here."

"..."

In an instant, the surroundings seemed to become quieter, so quiet that only the sound of breathing and wind could be heard.

What did this person... say?Mo Nan suspected that his ears had misheard, but he couldn't see anything when he tried to look at Ji Guiran's face.After being in a trance for a while, I just pretended that his words were blown by the wind in my ears.

After wandering around aimlessly for a while, and having enough fresh air, Mo Nan also felt that it was not good for him to wander around like this for too long, so he simply dragged Ji Guiran back.

The time of the day is fleeting, and when the sun sets in the sky, the difference between this day and the past is finally revealed.

"Mr. Mo, have you changed your clothes?"

"Wait, right now!"

Under the urging of Mrs. Zhang outside the house, Mo Nan finally tied up his long hair, followed the slightly messy hair, and opened the door bravely.

"Oh..." Auntie Zhang opened her mouth wide in surprise when the person inside came out.

The person in front of him was dressed in red, and his slightly messy silver hair was bundled up behind his head. Such a look from the past softened the strange appearance after the change. The red dress that should have been a woman, wearing Yu's body didn't seem disobedient, on the contrary, it made him blend in with him, giving him a bit of appropriate femininity, which made people look very comfortable.

"Mr. Mo looks surprisingly good in this."

The corner of Mo Nan's mouth twitched: "No...you better stop praising me like that..."

"It doesn't look like a man's rudeness at all."

"..." For some reason, Mo Nan felt even more tired.He tugged at the corner of his mouth, and asked again: "It's time to go...By the way, where is Ji Guiran?"

"I don't know, let's go out."

"Oh……"

"Mr. Mo feels very dependent on him."

"Bah! Not at all."

……

If Mo Nan was originally a little impetuous in his heart, then after arriving at the destination, the few traces of impetuousness disappeared.

Because it's so quiet here.

The last ray of sunlight in the sky fades away, and night comes.The temple, which was originally silent, became more solemn and solemn now. The vermilion color on the walls dimmed with the light, hiding in the mottled and swaying tree shadows.

Only the door of the temple was open, and the faint candlelight came from inside, indicating that tonight was different from other nights.

The silence of the atmosphere made Mo Nan's mood gradually dignified. He stared at the road in front of him, full of wonder.

Why is there no one?Why is it more dull here than ever, even though it is an important day?

Only when his eyes were covered by cloth strips did he turn his attention back. Just as he was about to ask something, he heard a faint female voice entering his ears.

"Go."

With a slightly familiar voice and a seductive tone, before Mo Nan had time to think about who was behind him, he felt his body being urged by her words, and moved rationally first.

...?

My body seems to be really out of the control of my thoughts, like a puppet controlled by...Mo Nan felt his heart skip a beat, swallowed nervously, and walked forward with his passive body.

After walking for a while, Mo Nan thought that he should have reached the steps, and just as he was thinking about it, he stopped.

Are you not moving?

He tried to move his body, but he was no longer guided by that force.Then he raised his foot tentatively, imagining that there was a step in front of him, and when he stepped down, he really stepped on the step as he expected.

Mo Nan felt a little joyful in his heart. With the thought that he was almost there, he stepped up the steps in a few steps, raised his eyes to look forward, and was stunned for a second.

The darkness in front of him began to slowly change. From the endless darkness, a bit of crimson gradually diffused from the depths.

"..." He felt that he had made a mistake, and subconsciously touched the cloth strip in front of him, and it was still well in front of him, and his eyes were still closed, which was even more unbelievable.

hallucinations?

Before he could figure out why, the wisps of red in front of his eyes became much more obvious, as if light had been brought in, it was hazy at first, but now it became more and more clear, illuminating the scene in front of him.

The hazy palace came into view, the open palace door, the flickering candlelight, all these appeared, and the weird snake...

Snake...God?

He saw the so-called snake god.

Not a cold statue wrapped around the temple, but a man in the middle of the temple.

It was vaguely visible to be a man, Mo Nan saw his back clearly first, the man had waist-length silver curly hair, the surface of the silver thread was covered with a layer of bewitching crimson, the whole person's back was tall and aloof.

As if sensing Mo Nan's gaze, his figure moved slightly, and then slowly turned around.

Although the picture is still hazy, the young and handsome appearance of that man is exceptionally clear. His face is as pale as hair, his slender eyes are slightly narrowed, his charming red eyes, and the corners of his lips holding a few smiles. They all eat people's hearts and souls.

Mo Nan looked at him, only to feel that his mind was gradually in a trance.When the god saw him, it was like seeing a long-lost distinguished guest. He stretched out his hand to him, gently curled his fingertips, and there was another touch of red to sharp color.

The last bit of mind was hooked away by it, and Mo Nan's mind went blank, but his body involuntarily raised his foot towards him, and at the same time raised his hand, as if he wanted to reach out to touch this illusory scene.

The time became long, but in fact, before he could take a few steps, he was suddenly pulled back by a force behind him.

"...?"

After staggering a few times, Mo Nan was forced to turn around. He saw that there was still darkness behind him, but his whole body was in a warm embrace, which made his dazed mind feel at ease. Mo Nan seemed to rely on such Feeling, you can know who is coming.

A pair of warm hands untied the wrapped cloth strips for him, and he opened his eyes. His eyes felt sore for a while, and then the redness in his vision gradually faded away.

In front of him is still the silent night, and the most familiar person.

"Ji..." Mo Nan opened his mouth to call his name, but suddenly, he caught a short figure in his peripheral vision.

He looked in that direction in surprise, the figure gradually approached them, and within a few steps, the whole figure became clear.

"..." After a short shock, Mo Nan blurted out: "It's you?!"
