Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

The crab will rub the shell with all its strength, and the hand is too strong. King Baihe let out a soft "hiss": "Don't rub it, just add water."

Following her instructions, the servants hurriedly brought more than a dozen wooden barrels and dumped them into the pool, tense as if they were fighting a war.

"You want to burn me to death?!"

"Your Majesty, calm down—" All the monsters by the pool trembled and knelt down to plead guilty.The hot mist steaming bath suddenly condensed the atmosphere.

King Baihe felt even more annoyed when he heard the sound: "Get out!"

After all the servants left, there was only one scallop left in the hall, soaking alone in the huge pool.

After a long while, the scallop floated up from the water, slowly rose, and turned into a slender and tall beauty.Her white skirt was ankle-length, with light gauze wrapped around her arms, and her silver hair was thick and soft, covering her shoulders and back, dignified and elegant.

The beauty fell barefoot outside the pool, her skirt swaying, like a white river lapping on the bank, splashing one after another.

King Baihe walked out of the palace. Although the palace where she bathed was at the bottom of the river, it was isolated from the water.After leaving the palace gate and walking through the water curtain, her silver hair fluttered in the water.Chief Li caught up and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need a chariot when you go out?"

King Baihe waved his hand: "No need to follow."

Along the way, all the monsters of the Shui tribe bowed to her.

In the middle of the night, the water of the Baihe River is more urgent than during the day.The big river is rolling, the sound is like thunder, and the momentum is like ten thousand beasts running wildly.

Under the cold moonlight, the water splashes are like snow waves and broken jade, layer upon layer.The slender beauty emerged from the water, sitting barefoot on the boulder by the river.

This place is forty miles away from Baihe City, and the lights of the fish dragon lanterns in the city can no longer be seen.

There is no sound of monsters on both sides of the strait, only the undulating mountains, a river and a moon.

The water is rolling eastward, and once it goes away it is endless.Looking at the river alone, it is easy to think of "time passing".On this point, the feelings between human beings and demons are strangely connected.

But what she saw was not a flowing river, but a motionless tower.

The Baihe River flows eastward, and after flowing into high mountains and deep valleys, it is divided by the terrain and becomes several tributaries. It is no longer a big river, or a small stream or a small pool, or a hanging spring and a waterfall.The water potential is weaker than that of the mountain, so naturally it is not under the control of King Baihe.

That is the territory of Baihe, at the junction with the territory of Montenegro.

There are continuous mountains, but a tall tower rises abruptly.

Under the clear night sky, the steeple tower is like a sharp sword, piercing out from the mountains, straight into the sky, and sinking into the clouds.

King Baihe looked at the top of the tower, frowned slightly, and repeated what he said to himself in the bath: "Time is running out."

The tone is not as restless as before, only a touch of melancholy.

"It would be great if you were still here, you can definitely help me..."

Her cherry lips parted slightly, and the name fell into the rushing river and the vast night wind, and disappeared without a trace in an instant:

"Snow Mountain King."

……

In the middle of the moon, Baihe City Square was still brightly lit.

Meng Xueli, who had bought beads for a Taoist couple, was intoxicated by the sweetness, as if the wind blowing against the river was gentle and sweet, he said via voice transmission:

"This is the first gift I gave you. Don't dislike it. When we come to the demon world this time, every time we go to a territory, I will buy something for you as a commemoration of the journey. Baihe buys pearls, Heishan buys jade, red Lin buys flowers..."

Ji Xiao nodded and stroked the back of his neck: "I like it very much."

Meng Xueli was even happier when she heard that.He just had a drink at the "Pearl Tower", and the spirits had a lot of stamina, and he felt that the Taoist couple looked more and more beautiful when they were illuminated by the fish and dragon lanterns on the street.And the way the Taoist couple looked at him was as affectionate as him.

In a foreign land, a bustling night market.Monsters come and go beside me, and the lights are dim.Only the person in front of him completely belongs to him.

Meng Xueli raised her head and put her arms around Jixiao's neck: "I'll give you a gift, and I'll give you a kiss in return."

When Ji Xiao saw the peach-blossoming face of the Taoist couple and the spring water in his eyes, Ji Xiao's heart skipped a beat, but he noticed the prying eyes of several monsters on the street.

He frowned slightly, his eyes flicked around: "Don't mess around." He was about to put down Meng Xueli's arm as he spoke.

Jiu Zhuang is timid, but Meng Xueli refuses: "Will you give me a kiss? I am a domineering monster now, so I can kiss if I want!"

Ji Xiao coaxed: "We're going to stay at the hotel, it's time to rest. The gift you gave me, if used on you, is reciprocal."

Meng Xueli didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but she understood the first half - my Taoist companion is tired and wants to rest.

That's right, since the two of them came to the demon world, they have been busy all the way, and they haven't rested yet.

"Okay, let's go!"

Tanuki bought a can of dried fish, Bi You bought a can of dried sandworms, and Ruan Hui bought a string of shell wind chimes.

Meng Xueli felt that they were cautious and bought too little, so she decided to buy three times more for each half-monster.So Chu Hua owned three cans of dried fish, and felt that she would be happy until next year.

"You guys are on a business trip this time, so just treat me as a wage subsidy for Zhenren Qian."

A group of people and a half-demon rode in a blue crab car, smiling and straight, to the best inn in Baihe City - Wangjiang Tower.

Two yellow croaker demon buddies came out to greet them smelling a strong evil spirit, and one of them smiled obsequiously: "Is your demon staying at the shop?"

The other went to lead the crab cart: "I'll feed the cart for you!"

Meng Xueli was still excited: "I want the best room!"

"Ghost, the best room is the room with a view. Standing on the balcony in the room, you can overlook the surging Baihe River and the black mountains in the distance. Would you like a room?"

Meng Xueli waved: "Come to five rooms."

The clerk didn't expect him to be so rich and powerful, so he became embarrassed: "There are only the last two rooms left. In our guest room, one room is more than enough for five demons..."

Meng Xueli: "There are two rooms. Hurry up."

My Taoist partner is tired and needs to go to bed immediately.

The author has something to say: Because the Chinese New Year has been updated intermittently, everyone may have forgotten the previous relationship. I wrote "Suppressing the Demon Tower" (covering your face)
