dragon pen

After finally waiting for Zhang Ziyao to fully wake up, Zhu Jiuyin and Su Lian were allowed to enter the house——

When entering the room, Su Lian noticed Zhang Ziyao had put on different clothes from yesterday with sharp eyes. Su Lian sniffed the tip of his nose and found that the strange smell on his body had also faded a lot.

"Why did you change your clothes?" Su Lian asked.

The young man who was scooping up water to wash his face was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up at Su Lian in astonishment—he never remembered that Su Lian would care about such trivial things as him... let alone pay attention to Zhang Ziyao compared to Su Lian. Did you change clothes before going to bed yesterday? Sometimes even the two of you forgot to eat, and passed by in a daze. It wasn't until you were hungry that you remembered that you hadn't eaten the last meal.

"I sweated a little last night, so I changed it," Zhang Ziyao cast a warning glance at Zhu Jiuyin, and then asked Su Lian, "You were outside the house last night? Didn't you hear anything—"

I heard.

And hear a lot.

Su Lian didn't want to lie, but he remembered that Zhu Jiuyin said that if he asked the weak one, Zhang Ziyao might be angry—so although he was curious about what happened last night, he still couldn't ask—because he subconsciously He didn't want to make Zhang Ziyao unhappy.

So he shook his head and said, "No."

Zhang Ziyao believed it was true, he let out a long breath, and said with a slight smile, "I'm still afraid that I'll make a fool of myself and make you laugh..."

"No matter how ugly you are, I won't laugh at you." Su Lian replied concisely, "Will it be the same tonight?"

"Probably, but certainly not as much as last night."

This time, it was Zhu Jiuyin who took the lead to answer. The man who had regained his adult figure and was too lazy to turn into a child was sitting at the table. He picked up a bowl of tea, sniffed it, then scratched the tea bowl and stretched his neck to take a sip ——

Su Lian nodded: "Understood, then I will guard him tonight."

Zhu Jiuyin took a mouthful of hot tea and spit it back into the teacup in an instant.

Zhang Ziyao also paused when he wiped his face.

At this moment, seeing Zhu Jiuyin looking at Su Lian's face with a subtle hesitation, he seemed to be thinking of last night—a scene he had been trying not to think about—and suddenly felt so embarrassed that he was about to float , Zhang Ziyao put down the towel with a dark face, and said, "Leave everyone alone tonight, I can handle it myself."

"What are you dealing with? The tail has grown out." Zhu Jiuyin said bluntly, "It's only been a while since you retracted, and you—"

Zhu Jiuyin's voice stopped abruptly when he met Zhang Ziyao's gaze.

Zhang Ziyao: "..."

Zhu Jiuyin: "..."

Zhang Ziyao: "...so what?"

"No," Zhu Jiuyin cleared her throat and twisted her face away, "Not much."

Su Lian looked back and forth between the two inexplicably, and there was something called "embarrassment" in the air.

...Although Zhang Ziyao and Zhu Jiuyin have maintained a tacit understanding such as "nothing happened to us last night" since they met in the morning, but at this moment only Su Lian, who has no idea what happened, dares to sit there On the couch, the two of them coincidentally sat at the table and walked around the room—in short, they all walked around the couch where some “little indescribable accidents” had happened—this incident Look, if anyone among them really didn't take what happened yesterday seriously, it seems that they can only lie to ghosts...

There are still Zhang Ziyao's tooth marks on Zhu Jiuyin's left index finger.

This Zhang Ziyao had seen it a long time ago, but every time he wanted to go up to ask Zhu Jiuyin if his wound hurt or simply apologize, but before he had time to speak, his shame was about to kill him—so In desperation, he could only give up.

Zhang Ziyao shut his mouth and refused to speak again, but at this time it was Su Lian. He heard that Zhang Ziyao didn't want to be taken care of anyway, so he frowned slightly and looked at him disapprovingly: "But, I don't trust you."

Zhang Ziyao smiled.

Feeling a little more relaxed, he came to Su Lian, stretched out his hand and stroked his head: "What's the matter, I'm an adult, how come I grow back and back, and finally I want to ask a child like you to take care of—— Huh?"

Zhang Ziyao spread the hand on top of Mo Sulian's head flat, and then compared it with his chest, and said in a daze for a long time: "Niu Niu, have you grown taller?"

"Really?" Su Lian stood up, bent slightly and approached Zhang Ziyao, after comparing himself, she said, "It seems to be like this."

Zhang Ziyao stared at Su Lian carefully for a while, only to find that his facial features were opened up a bit compared to when we first met...not so delicate, but more three-dimensional than before, Zhang Ziyao patted him on the shoulder : "Niu Niu will also grow into a character who is popular among thousands of girls in the future."

Su Lian took his hand off: "I won't."

Zhang Ziyao thought he was being modest, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes."

Su Lian: "I'm different from that dragon who knows how to mess with women."

Zhu Jiuyin: "Hello."

Su Lian: "After knowing that you came back, Wu Gang was kicked out from Guanghan Palace and moved back under the laurel tree."

Zhu Jiuyin looked upright: "It's not like I made you chase me away."

Su Lian: "But Chang'e was provoked by you."

Zhu Jiuyin: "...It happened many years ago, and I made it clear later that I don't like women who are too lonely."

Zhang Ziyao thought of the dream last night, and answered casually: "It's like you said you are not good at Longyang?"

Zhu Jiuyin: "What?"

Zhang Ziyao thought to himself that throwing only one shoe in the dragon's face this morning was too cheap for him. If he didn't have a backache, he should lift up the whole couch and throw it on that handsome face... ...At this time, Su Lian did not let go of Zhang Ziyao's hand. He looked at the young man who was looking at Zhu Jiuyin with disgust, and said suddenly after a moment of silence: "I don't care what others think."

Zhang Ziyao froze for a moment: "Oh."

Su Lian asked again: "Then do you think I'm pretty?"

Didn't you say that you don't care what other people think of you?Zhang Ziyao thought to himself that he was still a child after all, how could he not care about this kind of thing... So he smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said in that tone of coaxing cats: "It looks good, we Niu Niu are the best looking."

Su Lian looked at Zhang Ziyao with her beautiful golden eyes. Although he didn't smile, Zhang Ziyao knew that he should be very happy...

Zhu Jiuyin snorted strangely beside him.

After breakfast, Su Lian packed up the bowls and chopsticks, and offered to return these things to the people of Yunqi Kingdom. After seeing him go out, Zhang Ziyao came to Zhu Jiuyin and kicked him: "Don't be in front of Niu Niu." Talk about something..."

Zhu Jiuyin hummed like a toothache: "What?"

Zhang Ziyao ground his teeth and felt that he was asking knowingly: "About last night."

"Oh," Zhu Jiuyin thought for a while and suddenly smiled, "Is this your first time?"

Zhang Ziyao thought for a while, grabbed the pillow and wanted to press Zhu Jiuyin's face, but the latter hid back with his sleeves rolled up, his face not serious: "What do you want to eat, red bean soup? Seaweed soup? Shuanghuang Eggs? Red eggs?"

"Eat dragon soup, chop yourself up and cook for me to eat!"

"Oh, you little idiot, you actually want to eat this gentleman's dragon root, don't be secretly in love after last night... Let me be clear, last night I just watched you rubbing on the bed to no avail. It's pitiful! I just shot to help you, in fact, this gentleman is not good at dragon—”

puff.

The pillow in Zhang Ziyao's hand hit Zhu Jiuyin's face.

Zhu Jiuyin fell back from being hit, grabbed the pillow from her face, and her face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "You are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge..."

"You're a broken bridge, it's too crappy to walk on, I'd rather swim!"

"Hey, those words sound familiar, but you are venting out of the same nostrils as that stupid cow. Why didn't I see you so stubborn yesterday? Lai was in my arms like he had no bones, crying and begging for a while. I touch it for a while, and then don't touch it for a while, I really don't want to touch it, you are angry again—”

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Zhang Ziyao covered his ears and turned his back, "I told you not to say anything!"

"I'm just stating a fact. If you have the ability, turn around and look me in the eyes and say you haven't done it."

Zhang Ziyao remembered that he had done it.

At that moment last night, his whole body seemed to be thrown into the stove, and there were countless flaming ants crawling on him. At that time, he had completely lost his mind——

But he clearly remembered what he had done.

"You still wag your tail at me."

Zhu Jiuyin added from behind, Zhang Ziyao put down his hand, turned around blankly, grabbed Zhu Jiuyin by the sleeve and dragged him out of the room - the latter was still holding a pillow in his hand , hastily threw the pillow and stretched out his hand to grab the wrist of the boy in front of him...

When the slightly cold big hand grabbed the boy's slender wrist, the two people in the tugging were suddenly stunned——

Zhu Jiuyin: "..."

Zhang Ziyao: "..."

Zhang Ziyao's lips trembled, and he lowered his voice, "Let go."

Zhu Jiuyin actually let him go obediently.

He even took a step back with a strange expression, and voluntarily exited the door. Then he watched the door slamming hard on his face, but he didn't make any protests. He just stared blankly at the door in front of him. After looking at the door for a while, he looked down at his hands——

He looked at his hands with the eyes of a poisonous snake.

"I've said everything about being nervous, I'm not good at Long Yang." Zhu Jiuyin muttered, paused for a while, and then said as if emphasizing, "It's really not good."

……

After Su Lian came back, he saw Zhu Jiuyin standing outside the door looking at the sky very intently.

"What are you doing here?" Su Lian asked, and after asking, she felt as if she was asking nonsense, "You were kicked out again?"

Zhu Jiuyin leaned lazily on the railing, looked up at the sun with his head up, the pupils of his red eyes narrowed slightly and turned into snake-like patterns. A sitting posture is regarded as the default.

"Don't bully him." Su Lian said.

"The two of you need one nostril to vent your breath," Zhu Jiuyin said absent-mindedly, "otherwise I will bully you together."

Su Lian rolled her eyes, ignored the dragon whose bones were almost melted by the sun, turned around and opened the door just in time to see Zhang Ziyao put on his coat - the latter didn't look back.As if he knew who came in, he calmly said: "Niu Niu, let's go to that fake monk and ask if there is a way to clean up the filth of the dog god in my body. If I have to endure the torture of last night every month , I can't bear it."

Su Lian had this intention and simply nodded.

The two walked out of the room, and Zhu Jiuyin was still leaning there basking in the sun with a drunken face... He didn't move when he heard their footsteps coming out, maybe he had heard the conversation between the two in the room long ago, and he didn't even ask them to prepare Where to go, he just looked at the sun and said lazily: "The same goes for all living beings, each of which has twelve inversions... What's the next sentence?"

No one cares about him.

After Zhang Ziyao and the others passed by him, Zhu Jiuyin smiled to himself, sat up unhurriedly and yawned, turning back into the child he was yesterday.

His pupils also returned to normal.

He took a step and followed Zhang Ziyao's buttocks. As soon as the three of them left the courtyard, they saw a gorgeously dressed woman standing outside the door, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Master has been waiting for a long time." The woman said Jiao Didi, then raised her eyelids and glanced at Zhang Ziyao's empty hands, then bent down again, "Everyone, why don't you bring an umbrella."

Zhang Ziyao was puzzled, raised his head to look at the sunny sky and said, "What are you doing with an umbrella, it's still raining in the desert—"

"It will rain once or twice a year." The woman covered her lips and smiled lightly, "If you don't take it, don't take it, the time should be just right from here to Mr. Luzhen's courtyard."

Zhang Ziyao was in the fog, completely unaware of what the woman was talking about, followed her around and finally came to the courtyard yesterday, when he saw the bougainvillea protruding from the wall, the sky had already disappeared from the sky just now. The clear sky turned to cloudy clouds—

The moment Zhang Ziyao and the others stepped into the courtyard, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and it began to rain patter.

"It's raining."

Still dressed in white hunting clothes, the man was sitting under the eaves and on the corridor. He looked at the bustling young man and two children who jumped onto the corridor to hide from the rain, and said with a smile on his lips: "The little monk asked to go Didn't the responders remind you that it's going to rain today?"

"I reminded you, but I said something about the right time, so I just let it go." Zhang Ziyao patted the water droplets on his body, and then said with a look of wonder, "Yuzhen, what do you do? Not only can you summon spirits, but you can also divination The weather, whether to look at the stars or the wind and clouds—"

What's so strange, I close my eyes and it's dark, open my eyes and it's dawn - Zhu Jiuyin mouthed to Su Lian.

I moved my pen and buried it in water, landslides and ground cracks, but I didn’t see him take a second look. What are you—— Su Lian sneered.

The two brats winked at each other, but Zhang Ziyao looked at Luzhen with a questioning face, and really felt that there was something new about him——

"Peeping the situation and the country's fortune is beyond the reach of a young monk." Yuzhen's smile remained unchanged, "Everything is due to the Lord Changbi who just sealed you here."

"Master Changbi?" Zhang Ziyao thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "Oh, so she is not a mortal either!"

"Live in the capital of the city lord or the lord of a country, dressed in twelve singles, occasionally a white-haired old woman, and occasionally a young woman who is as beautiful as a fairy, guarding the master's land, and appearing in front of the city lord every year Tell him the fate of the city, this is the Long Wall."

Zhang Ziyao had a knowledgeable face.

"Brother Ziyao was okay last night?" Lu Zhen asked suddenly.

Zhang Ziyao was caught off guard by the question, and his face turned red for some unknown reason. He quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Behind him, the two children were sitting upright, looking at their noses with their eyes, and their noses with their hearts, with serious facial paralysis.

"Is it uncomfortable?" Yuzhen hooked his lips as if understanding, "There are many possessions in their own way, and their reactions are also different. Among them, Inugami is one of the most difficult ones. I was ignorant when I was young, and I suffered a great crime after accidentally touching Master Yan Kong's dog god contract paper..."

"How did you solve it then?"

"There was an unlucky guy who obviously avoided the monk on purpose that night, but still ran into him without faith." Yuzhen smiled mysteriously, "It's resolved."

Zhang Ziyao let go of his face and thought about what Yu Zhen said, and then his blushing face suddenly looked like a boiled tomato——

"That...that person—"

"From then on, I am more in awe of ghosts and gods, and of course I hate these kinds of things more than before... and because of this, I have a bad habit of being afraid of dogs."

Zhang Ziyao's tongue was tied up: "So, if you have a full moon every month now—"

As he said that, he couldn't help but want to see if there were any suspicious marks on the exposed places under Masaru's white hunting clothes, on the neck, on the wrists, and under the ears... Unfortunately, there were none.

"No. Later, the master pulled out the filth with his own hands, and punished the young monk to contemplate in the ancestral hall for three months." Yuzhen showed a very nostalgic expression, "Master is really a serious and harsh person, but he doesn't know how to remove the filth. But it's clean and beautiful."

Zhang Ziyao felt that he had grasped the point, and he stretched his neck as if expecting something: "Yu Zhen, did your master—"

"Have."

"You know what I'm trying to say?"

"Anyone who's been through a canine-possession wakes up to the same reaction."

Lu Zhen picked up the boiling teapot beside him, brewed a cup of tea, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then spilled it out of the corridor. A few times of dog "snurling" sounded out of the pattering rain for no reason, and a moment later Dissipated again... Oboroma smiled slightly——

"Brother Ziyao wants the little monk to clean up the filth for you."

"Can you?" Zhang Ziyao's eyes lit up.

"No."

"..."

Zhang Ziyao looked confused, but the eyebrows of the two beautiful children sitting behind him trembled at the same time, and an indescribable sense of oppression was released from their surroundings——

There was commotion in the courtyard because of this.

But this is all perceived by Luzhen, on the contrary, the boy sitting in front of him seems to be unaware of it, he just looks at Luzhen with a disappointed look——

"Yunqi and Tiancang are originally hostile countries. If the little monk helps you rashly and the word reaches the ears of our family, I guess the little monk will not be able to get a clean one in a few months." Unaware of the calm and breezy voice, "What's more, you killed the monk's shikigami..."

His smile became clearer: "Although the monk said that he would no longer pursue this matter, it's just that this matter makes him even more unable to find a reason to help you for no reason."

"It's just a dog," Zhu Jiuyin finally couldn't bear it anymore, "You want me to get another one for you, so don't grind around—"

"That's Inugami." Obscure corrected.

"It's also a dog." Zhu Jiuyin looked impatient, "Don't think that I don't know what's going on with your stuff, it's just hanging meat on a rope around the neck of a living dog. When the neck goes to bite the meat, cut off its neck with a knife--because of such a silly trick, it's just a monster, what a strange species you really think. If you want. Don't say one, count it ten or eight Only……"

Zhang Ziyao turned his head and stared at Zhu Jiuyin, the latter's voice stopped abruptly, paused, and stiffened his neck: "What are you looking at?"

Zhang Ziyao said: "How can such a cruel thing be said so easily?"

"What? How cruel? It's not my invention. Why are you looking at me with a censure face?" Zhu Jiuyin frowned, "If you're in the mood to worry about a dog you don't know, why don't you care more about yourself? .”

After speaking, he looked at Yuma provocatively——

Hazy smiled and shook his head: "He is right."

Thinking about that scene, Zhang Ziyao resisted.

"Tell me about your conditions." Su Lian who had been silent all this time said suddenly, "Your tone doesn't sound like it's not negotiable."

Long Zhen looked at the child who had been silent before with appreciative eyes, and suddenly said after a while: "Have you ever heard of 'Hundred Ghosts at Night'?"

"At the time of the devil, yin and yang are reversed, the way of the yang world becomes the ghost way leading to the underworld, and the monsters and monsters run rampant and come out." Su Lian said lightly, "Is this it?"

"That's it. It's just that your country still seems to have misinterpreted such things. In fact, 'Hundred Ghosts of the Night' doesn't happen by accident, nor does it happen often. Only at night will demons and monsters gather and unfold a... ceremony."

"A ceremony?"

"That's right, all kinds of monsters from all over the world gathered together early on that day, played the piano, danced, talked with each other about what they had accumulated over the past ten years, and when the time came, they lined up , waiting to enter the palace of the 'Tamazamo former empress'—”

Zhang Ziyao: "'The former empress of Yuzao'?"

Mizuma: "Legends say that Empress Yuzao used to be the concubine of Emperor Toba of my Yunqi Kingdom. She was a beautiful woman who was good at singing and dancing.

"He's just a vixen," Zhu Jiuyin interjected with a gloomy face, "Have you heard of Meixi in Xia Jie's era? If you haven't heard of it, Su Daji in Shang Zhou's era must know it? One person."

Zhang Ziyao looked puzzled: "What's wrong with her?"

"She has a treasure." Luzhen said, "It's a bronze water basin. It is said that on the night of the full moon in a certain period, the water basin will be filled with water to reflect the full moon, and then reach out to hit the full moon. If it is broken, the appearance of the previous life of the person standing by the basin will gradually emerge in the water..."

Zhang Ziyao: "Oh, what then?"

Long Zhen smiled, and said flatly in the tone of eating cabbage tonight: "My little monk wants that pot."

Zhang Ziyao: "..."

Oboroma: "Everyone is overly curious about their past. Once such a thought has been passed on for a long time, it becomes a strange obsession—the little monk has worked hard to form bonds with all the adults in the past ten years. At the once-in-a-year ceremony, with the hands of all the adults, I won the treasure basin for the little monk—"

As expected of a person from Yunqi country, even a monk is used to this kind of thing of stealing other people's things.

Zhang Ziyao was in the midst of slander, and Ting Yuzhen continued to say——

"A few months ago, the little monk reported the names of all the adults to the front hall of Yuzao. Now that the invitation card has arrived, San Lang unexpectedly disappeared. Suddenly there is a vacancy on the list of little monks, and someone is eager to fill it—"

"I'm human." Zhang Ziyao said silently.

"But you have the aura of Lord Saburo on your body." Yuma smiled.

"Bring back that basin, and you will clean up the filth left on my body?"

"What's the matter."

Zhang Ziyao thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Deal."

The smile on Yuzhen's lips became clearer: "The little monk is looking forward to Brother Ziyao's return with his belongings. Ah, speaking of which, I really can't wait to see the little monk's previous life. not interesting?"

Zhang Ziyao looked at him with a cold face.

"Brother Ziyao, isn't he interested in his previous life?"

"..."

Suddenly being asked such a question, Zhang Ziyao was taken aback for a moment, and then said lightly——

"Not interested in."

"..."

"It's all in the past, what is there to worry about? If there is really something hard to let go of in the previous life, why bother to drink that bowl of Mengpo soup."
