When the devil

[Lidong of the 36th year of the Zhao calendar]

The early morning in Jinchuan is full of hustle and bustle, the morning sun soaks through the mist, and the temperature falls on the streets where people come and go. The so-called plan for a day lies in the morning. , Looking around, the entire long street is full of busy figures, kicking off a new day.

The Cheng Mansion is located on the north side of Jinchuan. It does not occupy a large area, and its location is inconspicuous. A private banquet will not disturb too many people. Firecrackers were lit, and they crackled for a long time. This was the most noisy moment of the private banquet. After the end, the surroundings of Cheng's mansion fell into silence again.

Cheng Yingjie once said that everything should be kept simple, and his words were true. The whole itinerary was full of rustic atmosphere, not like the posture that nobles in the palace would put on.

The invited guests were all unfamiliar faces, Wei Ling was finally relieved, Mochi and Zi Guaner were very excited from the beginning to the end, they were startled by setting off firecrackers, after being surprised, they happily went to grab desserts to eat, Xia Zhou followed Wei Ling obediently, and when other guests came up to talk to him, he exuded an extremely unfriendly attitude of "stay away from strangers" to scare them away.

There were not many guests this time, but there were not many people in Cheng's house. In the end, they were still too busy to distract themselves. Wei Ling consciously didn't bother, drinking one glass after another, and looked up at Cheng Yingjie from time to time, looking at his picture. The simple and honest face smiled like a spring flower, and my heart was naturally happy for him.

"Why don't you eat and just drink, it's so delicious?" Xia Zhou saw that Wei Ling had already drank five or six cups, and on a whim, he snatched Wei Ling's cup and put it in his mouth to taste: "It's okay. Not very tasty."

Wei Ling is no stranger to Xia Zhou snatching his things: "Xia Maomao, look at my sister-in-law, she is very beautiful."

Xia Zhou returned the cup to him: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Wei Ling took the cup and began to drink for herself: "I was thinking about one thing after hearing what you said yesterday."

Xia Zhou picked up a piece of green pepper, hesitating whether to eat it: "What's the matter?"

Wei Ling said in a daze: "My elder brother used to be on Liuli Mountain and was influenced by Canglin. He should have no love and hate in the world like me, but now he has married a wife in less than ten years...you say... If I live in the world from now on, will this day also happen?"

Xia Zhou was dumbfounded, and the green pepper fell back into the bowl: "Huh?"

I don't know what's wrong with him, I haven't seen him so surprised after knowing him for so long, and his red phoenix eyes are stared into round eyes by him.

Although the air is slightly cool today, the sun is shining above the head. When the wind blows, Wei Ling also sobers up a little, and said with a smile: "Most of the love in the world starts from a glimpse to a romantic relationship. Marriage is the last step. I heard it last time." Big brother talked so much, it’s really unimaginable.”

Xia Zhou said: "What's there to talk about about love? Just get married. I'll go to the Demon Realm with me later, and just do it."

Wei Ling's hands trembled when she heard this, and the wine glass was knocked over on the table.

Xia Zhou didn't take it seriously and continued, "You can do it tomorrow if you can't wait."

"I said it casually, you don't have to take it seriously." Wei Ling put the cup straight: "But... there are also rumors of monsters getting married?"

Xia Zhou said: "Yes, but it's not for love, but for owning it, especially when the demon king marries his wife, he usually kills all the relatives around his wife, because this can ensure that the wife is only for himself."

Wei Ling: "..." What a crazy custom.

Xia Zhou said: "But in the Demon Realm, it's not called marriage."

"what is it call?"

"It's called a sacrifice."

Wei Ling: "I think you have misunderstood marriage."

Xia Zhou: "Huh? Really?"

Two people are exactly the same, and their ages are indistinguishable.

Wei Ling already regretted talking about this topic with him. After Xia Zhou lost his temper for no reason yesterday, he secretly decided to talk less in the future. In vain.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xia Zhou moved to his side again: "What's the matter, how do you want to get rid of me again?"

Wei Ling calmly said, "No, I drank too much, I'm a little dizzy."

Xia Zhou leaned over to take away the jug in front of him, good guy, the jug of wine has already bottomed out!

Looking at Wei Ling again, I don't know whether he is really drunk or fake drunk, Xia Zhou reached out and squeezed his chin to turn his face towards him, his eyes closed and then widened suddenly, reflecting Xia Zhou's face in his own blackness between the eyes.

"Let me tell you first, I'm not telling you to get enlightened on others. If you dare to fall in love, we'll see."

"Xia Zhou, respect yourself." Wei Ling hastily brushed away Xia Zhou's hand, feeling puzzled.

Xia Zhou also let go of him without forcing him.

Just at this time, Cheng Yingjie led his wife to this side, but when Wei Ling saw this, she quickly stood up as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

"It's too busy... Ah... Ah Ling, I'm late." Cheng Yingjie took his wife's hand and led him to Wei Ling: "Qing'er, this is the Junior Brother Wei Ling I often mentioned, and the other one is his Friend, Mr. Xia Zhou."

Qing'er was dressed in red, with a gorgeous flower ornament on her head, and light makeup on her face. Her appearance was not quite beautiful, but she also had a sense of tranquility and beauty.

Cheng Yingjie couldn't show any restraint on his face. He touched his nose and said helplessly, "Today was not that formal at first...haha, Qing'er and I have already paid homage, but..."

"Brother, don't mind." Wei Ling knew what he wanted to say, but it was too obvious for him to hear.

Qing'er covered her mouth and smiled, her face was flushed, and she said in a soft voice: "Young Master Wei and Young Master Xia are so handsome, you two are friends, you must be able to seduce each other every day."

Her words made Cheng Yingjie laugh out loud, the laughter was deafening, Xia Zhou also took advantage of the fire, patted Wei Ling's shoulder, and approached his ear: "You sister-in-law, you are quite sensible."

Wei Ling generously took Xia Zhou's words as a compliment, and agreed, "That's right."

Cheng Yingjie laughed enough, cleared his throat, and spoke again: "If you two don't have any plans for the future, why don't you stay until the evening. I invited the most powerful singing group in Jinchuan City to keep your eyes open, hahaha?"

"Okay." Xia Zhou answered faster than Wei Ling, with an attitude of taking Wei Ling's place.

Qing'er covered her face slightly, a little shy, but couldn't help but look at Xia Zhou's face, Cheng Yingjie hugged her into his arms as if understanding her thoughts: "I told you, my wife likes to watch Jun Lang the most." , haha, if you are willing to come, she will have a good day."

Wei Ling smiled, and suddenly stepped forward to Qing'er: "Sister-in-law, I have prepared a gift for you."

The word "big sister-in-law" is so easy to pronounce that Qing'er's eyes are full of stars.

Wei Ling took out the jade bracelet that she carried with her, and handed it to Qing'er with both hands: "I carved this jade bracelet on my own initiative, and my sister-in-law is carrying it with me. Compared with more than half of the monsters, it can't hurt you."

The jade bracelet was white and blue, and it was very valuable. Qing'er was startled when she saw it, as if wondering whether she should take it or not. Cheng Yingjie coaxed her a few words, and then she stretched out her hand carefully, and Wei Ling put it on for her personally.

"This is the engraving of the Heavenly Feather Immortal. No matter how many people in the world want to ask for it, they can't get it." Cheng Yingjie said with emotion: "A Ling, how many years of your mana has been engraved by this engraving."

Wei Ling said softly: "It's okay, I can practice again."

Engraving is a way to leave one's mana on a certain object. The effect is similar to that of giving one's inner energy to others. This bracelet used nearly half of his power, but he had to be nagged by Cheng Yingjie just to say it. It's been a while.

——He has only this one relative in the world now, if he can be safe, half-success is nothing.

Qing'er didn't know anything about immortal arts, she just thought the bracelet was pretty, so she looked at it over and over again.

Xia Zhou answered for him: "At least it has been more than ten years. With this bracelet, Miss Qing'er can change her career to slay demons."

Cheng Yingjie counted with her fingers, dumbfounded, Qing'er couldn't understand, seeing her husband stunned, she guessed that it must be extremely valuable, she quickly called the maid next to her: "I also have something for you two."

The maid presented two tassel pendants, Qing'er took one off and handed it to Wei Ling.

Wei Ling thanked her repeatedly, she naturally likes it very much, the color is dark red, and there are two purple jadeite pendant beads, which are just suitable for hanging on the River of Forgetfulness.

Qing'er took out another one, which was exactly the same as Wei Ling's except that the pendant bead was blue in color.

She smiled shyly and handed it to Xia Zhou herself.

Xia Zhou didn't look at Tassel, but just stared at Qing'er's bracelet, as if he was taboo.Wei Ling looked at him when she paid attention, but Xia Zhou just smiled calmly and took the tassel.

"Thank you."

His demonic power is extremely high, Wei Ling confronts him with [-]% of his mana, but he doesn't have the upper hand. How can he be restrained by a bracelet with an engraving?

But following Wei Ling's gaze, he seemed to see faint black smoke disperse from Xia Zhou's fingertips again.

"A Ling." Cheng Yingjie called him: "You said you gave gifts, but you skipped me hahaha."

Wei Ling quickly raised her head: "What does Big Brother want?"

The moment he raised his head, Xia Zhou quickly put his hand behind his back, and the hand holding Tassel had collapsed into smoke, but his demon power was suppressed very well, and he soon recovered intact. The whole process was so short that no one could notice it. .

Cheng Yingjie laughed loudly: "Accompany me for a drink tonight and have a good time."

As soon as Wei Ling heard the word "wine", she became excited: "That depends on whether your drinking capacity can catch up with me."

"What are you talking about! I want to go too!" Mochi suddenly got out from under the table and jumped in front of Cheng Yingjie: "Uncle Master, if you want to challenge Master, you have to pass my test first."

After speaking, the two were excited again and hugged each other tightly.

"Hey, Xiaochizi, you can drink now." Cheng Yingjie put his arms around him and said, "I won't go home if I'm not drunk tonight."

In the whole world, only Mochi can withstand Cheng Yingjie's overwhelming embrace. He enjoyed it and smiled happily: "I can drink it all the time! The name of this wine jar in our Tianyu Palace must be passed down from generation to generation!"

Cheng Yingjie and Mochi yelled, and other guests around came over. Wei Ling hesitated for a moment, and finally gave way. Seeing Cheng Yingjie and Qing'er surrounded in the middle, he didn't say a word, and went alone with the wine Stay on the other side.

So many mortals gathered together, congratulating and icing on the cake, they kept saying things that made Cheng Yingjie laugh out loud, as if as long as time kept winding, this happiness could last forever.

Tie the knot is a good thing, everyone said so.

Wei Ling looked at Cheng Yingjie and Qing'er from a distance, but did not move the food in front of him.

The jubilation continued into the night, and when the singing group entered the arena, the scene became even more chaotic.People sat in a circle, leaving the middle for those who wanted to dance, and those who played the piano and sang were all young girls, and they soon got together with the guests.

From the beginning to the end, the noise didn't stop, Mo Chi and Zi Wan'er were addicted to it, some of them got drunk lying on the table, some of them rolled on the ground, and finally Miss Qing'er danced a sword for everyone in person. It caused shouts and applause from all around.

"A Ling, come."

Soon after, Cheng Yingjie squeezed out from the crowd, waved to Wei Ling, and asked him to come with him. Wei Ling had been reeking of alcohol all day, and when he saw Cheng Yingjie's sneaky appearance, he suddenly thought of the time when he was with him in Liuli Mountain many years ago. The scene of sneaking down the mountain, the years have passed, but the memory is so clear, his nose is sore, and emotions he has never had before come to his heart.

Since Cang Lin's death, there is no longer anything that can restrain his emotions and desires. No matter how calm he is, no matter how few desires he has, the strange feeling that his emotions overwhelm his heart is enough to make him feel uneasy.

The two rushed to the roof like this, Cheng Yingjie patted his side to make him sit down, and he sat down obediently, then Cheng Yingjie conjured up a big clod of soil like a magic trick, and said suspiciously: "Guess what it is. "

Wei Ling blinked, and the fire was flickering in the yard, reflecting warmth on the roof.

He said: "Brother, I'm tired of watching the performance of splitting rocks by hand, let's change to another one."

Cheng Yingjie laughed: "Whoever wants to split rocks, your elder brother and I are not the only ones who come from this—Look, elder brother will split a chicken out of the rock this time."

After finishing speaking, he chopped it down with his hand, and seeing that the clods of soil were about to be wiped out, Xia Zhou who appeared at some time suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Cheng Yingjie abruptly: "This is a beggar chicken, Mr. Cheng, look how close it was to your brother-in-law before it was alive." For the sake of similarity, treat every winged food kindly."

This is really a person who dares to stretch out his hand to stop, and a person who dares to stop his hand. If this knife really cuts on a person, he is afraid that he will either be disabled or disabled.

The knowledgeable Xia Zhou took the clod and said, "Brother Cheng must be able to chop the chicken into pieces. Let me do it."

Cheng Yingjie asked: "You just said that this beggar chicken looks like Ah Ling?"

Xia Zhou said, "Isn't Wei Ling the White Phoenix?"

Wei Ling was already helpless by this inexplicable title, he said: "It's just Jia Chi's relatives, don't worry about it."

Xia Zhou said hehe: "Chicken can be regarded as a distant relative of Fenghuang. Thinking about it this way, wouldn't it be more similar?"

"... "

Cheng Yingjie was amused by the two of them, and sat down on the roof, the rubble vibrated, as if the roof was about to be crushed, Wei Ling was shocked by him, but Xia Zhou was calm and calm, not only able to break the clods slowly, but also carefully Take out the chicken inside.

In an instant, a strong scent rushed towards him, causing Wei Ling to open his eyes wide.

"You, I didn't like to go to crowded places before. Every time I participated in a banquet or celebration, my adoptive father and I would secretly bring something back for you to eat." Cheng Yingjie tore off a piece of chicken thigh and handed it to Wei Ling: " Ordinary people have a saying to describe a person like you: You are about to become a fairy. Hahahahahahahaha."

Wei Ling took the big chicken leg and looked at it intently for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Xia Zhou said: "A Ling is really difficult to get along with, uncle, you are really not easy."

Cheng Yingjie said: "Ah Ling has a good temper. When he meets my talkative and annoying temperament, he just gets along well, hahaha."

The two chatted for a while, and saw Wei Ling finally biting the chicken leg gently and obediently.Xia Zhou and Cheng Yingjie who were beside him opened their mouths to eat without hesitation, and soon there was not much left of a whole chicken.

"Your righteous brother has been living in vain for so many years. In the world, you are not as sensible as a three-year-old child." Xia Zhou sighed.

Cheng Yingjie laughed, and then sighed after laughing: "It was the same when I first came here, especially the first time I attended a banquet in the palace. Less embarrassing things hahahaha, later His Majesty greeted all the ministers, saying that I came down from the Liuli Mountain, and take care of me more, hahaha, those civil and military officials really regarded me as a monkey from the mountain, and taught me everything hand in hand .”

Xia Zhou said: "Listen to you, the emperor still has some humanity?"

"Haha, he..." At this point, Cheng Yingjie stopped suddenly, Wei Ling was eating chicken legs quietly, and didn't intend to interrupt the topic just now, Cheng Yingjie quickly laughed twice, and changed the subject abruptly: "By the way, Pavilion Master Xia, Last time I heard that you were a monster—is it true or not?"
