Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

Chichu likes to drink, and when he was trapped in Taoyuan Prison in the Town of Demon Tower, he did not forget to have fun while digging a wine cellar in the thatched hut.

Immediately afterwards came Fei Yu's excited voice: "Hey, what a great wine! You put the wine on the terrace, and set up a grill, and I'll come up as soon as I catch a few fish!"

Beside the bamboo road, there is a layer of rain flower stones at the bottom of the canal, the clear springs are gurgling around the bamboo building, and the colorful carp are wandering freely, like streamers of colorful light.They are ornamental fish, which are raised by the landlord to be arty, but because of the happy life and abundant aura here, they grow extremely fat.

The white crane catches fish by the water, just like a fox steals chickens from a farmhouse, and can know at a glance which fish are of the best quality, which ones are suitable for steaming, and which ones are suitable for grilling.

Chi Chu poured wine, Fei Yu performed the knife, Bi You and Ruan Hui fanned the flames, and after a short while, the smoke from cooking smoke rose from the terrace of Zhuli Pavilion, and the fragrance was overflowing.On the first night they came to Fengyue City, they used local materials, sat around the grill, and had an impromptu open-air barbecue.

Meng Xueli had no choice but to release the mirage beast, signaling the mirage beast to exhale to cover up the smell of smoke and alcohol.

Chi Chu bowed his head and greeted: "Come up and eat!"

Meng Xueli responded, and stretched out her hand to Jixiao, revealing the thin chain between her fingers, begging softly: "We are the only ones left, let's untie it first."

On the surface, the "King of Kunshan" trapped and led the kidnapped human monks, but in fact the control of the chains was in Ji Xiao's hands.Meng Xueli was afraid that the Taoist couple would settle accounts after autumn, so she asked him, "Didn't you have fun during the day?" Fortunately, Ji Xiao didn't, so she untied it as she said, and rubbed the light red marks on his fingers, still with a gentle and good temper.

Meng Xueli breathed a sigh of relief again, completely relieved.

The elegant terrace built for watching the moon and listening to the bamboo is shrouded in a faint smoke and fire, and Chi Chu, Fei Yu, and Bi You are full of oil.

Ruan Hui is a vegetarian, so he shaved fresh and tender bamboo shoots to make soup.Chichu summoned mirages to eat them again.Unmoved, the mirage beast looked at the moon and breathed out, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the night moon according to the method taught by Ji Xiao.

The mirage beast said: "I will practice hard in the future, and I will no longer be greedy for pleasure. After I am a thousand years old, my scales will become sharp and my claws will become sharp. When I breathe out, the flames will soar into the sky, turn over, and the earth will shake..."

Meng Xueli thought amusedly, since Changchun Peak doesn't have Earthfire magma, after you are a thousand years old, at most, you will be bigger and still smell like peach blossoms.

But he didn't open his mouth. It would be too cruel to tell the truth to a crippled beast that rarely rises up.The dream of the waste beast is also worthy of respect.

Fei Yu and Chi Chu were in high spirits, as if they completely forgot the fear of being chased all the way, and also forgot the torture and loneliness in the Demon Town Tower, they toasted and sang the ballad of the demon world.

A barbecue supper without nonsense and bragging has no taste and soul.But in front of King Xueshan and Master Jixiao, the two big monsters were too embarrassed to brag, and they were only full of emotion.

Fei Yu: "If Lingshan knows that we are here and have wine and meat, I'm afraid he will die of anger."

Chi Chu smiled and said, "Didn't the bustard say that he's in a bad mood recently? Once the demon-suppressing tower falls, it's enough to piss him off once."

Meng Xueli shook her head: "The most difficult thing for him to accept is not the collapse of the Demon Suppressing Tower, but the fact that things were out of control, and the demon soldiers chasing us lost their clues."

Ji Xiao picked out the fishbone for his Taoist companion, just smiled and listened.

After drinking together, it is easier to speak some words, Chi Chu sighed:

"Three years ago, Lingshan told his confidants that the King of Snow Mountain planned to marry the human race, and intended to use the land south of the Holy Snow Mountain as a dowry gift to marry the sword master in the world. When we first met in Hanmen City a hundred years ago, the King of Snow Mountain never forgot about him. Sure, I can't wait to start..."

Ji Xiao was slightly taken aback, Meng Xueli coughed again and again: "No wonder some monsters always asked me what I thought of the real Ji Xiao. So it was to test me."

Ji Xiao: "What do you say?"

"To tell you the truth, you are beautiful!"

Ji Xiao was speechless, what kind of evaluation was "good-looking", it sounded like a seductive and fainted demon king.

Feiyu continued: "Lingshan said that for the future of the monster clan, he had to act first. He promised wealth and status to his confidants, and the little monsters who participated in this matter were silenced by him one after another. Those who don't know the truth The foreign demon only thought that he challenged you, defeated and killed you openly and squarely. Winners and losers, the strong will be kings."

Meng Xueli looked at the bright moon in the wine bowl: "I never thought that the wine he toasted to me would have snake venom."

That night, King Xueshan was invited by his friend Lingshan to attend Lingshan's birthday dinner. After drinking for three rounds, all the monsters in the palace bared their fangs and claws, and came to kill them all.The king of the snow mountain had a fit of poisoned wine, restrained by his demonic power, and relied on his physical strength to fight a bloody path and break open the gate of the palace.The group of monsters chased after him until they reached beyond the bounds.

Chi Chu's eyes showed pity: "You still say I'm stupid? He is a poisonous snake in the first place."

Meng Xueli thought for a while: "But I didn't build a prison to live by myself. Looking at it this way, you are still stupid."

Fei Yu doesn't care which of them is more stupid, it's stupid to discuss this issue: "So we are mutual old friends of King Lingshan, no, common victims, when can we get revenge?"

Chi Chu was already half-drunk: "We are approaching Fengyue City, and the battle of revenge is about to start. Although the opponent is very powerful, we are not vegetarian."

As he said, he picked up Ruan Hui's ears with his left hand: "Our soldiers are strong!" He picked up Bi You with his right hand, "The bird is strong!"

Bi You changed into his original form, and flew out of the clutches without hesitation, but was stopped by Fei Yu again.

Feiyu asked: "You and I are both birds, but do you know the difference?"

Bi You whispered: "You are a big demon, I am a half demon."

"No!" Feiyu hated iron and steel, "You are a bird, I am a bird of prey. To be a bird demon, you must be a bird of prey. When you are angry, every feather will explode, try it!"

Bi You turned into his original form and exploded into a small ball: "Is it fierce enough!"

Ruan Hui flapped his paws in Chichu's hand, tremblingly retorted: "But I'm just a vegetarian."

Meng Xueli warned: "Don't pick up my buddies casually, unless you are leading them to flee for their lives."

Chi Chu let go of his hand, and stroked the fluff of Ruan Hui's rabbit's ears: "Brother will compensate you. Little rabbit, do you have a marriage?"

Ruan Hui: "No, no."

Meng Xueli picked up the grilled fish skewer and threw it at Chi Chu: "Are you still a demon, you don't even let child labor go?!"

Chi Chu tilted his head to hide, and took the bamboo stick to pick his teeth with his backhand: "I think he is innocent, so I kindly remind him! Little rabbit, remember, the kinder and gentler the big monster, the more he will deceive the monster."

He also thought of the "heart-to-heart expression of true feelings" that the King of Lingshan told him, coaxing him to devote himself to building the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and he couldn't help showing a look of crying and laughing: "Oh, don't talk about feelings, there's nothing wrong with it!"

Ruan Hui didn't quite understand: "Okay, okay."

"Whoever abandons me, don't keep the day of yesterday." Chi Chu held up the wine bowl and wrapped his arms around Ruan Hui's neck: "We brothers drink this bowl of wine, from now on you will be my younger brother and I will be your elder brother."

Ruan Hui is not afraid of a drunk, but herbivorous monsters will inevitably feel instinctive fear when they come into close contact with carnivores, so he trembles: "Be sober. I'm a rabbit, how can I be sworn to a fox?"

"It's fine if you don't worship." The fox invited Yue Xiang: "My good son, let's go with my father!"

Ruan Hui wanted to cry but had no tears, so he picked up the wine bowl and drank it.

The moon shines on the bamboo forest at night, and the group of monsters on the terrace are drunk, stumbling around, showing their original shapes, big or small.

The white crane lay paralyzed on the cool bamboo mat and spread its huge wings: "Come up quickly, I will carry you to the moon!"

The purple fox jumped on the back of the white crane: "I've stabilized myself, let's fly! I want to start again and fly to a new life."

Ruan Hui said: "I also want to fly, and the half-demon also wants to have a new life." He put the kingfisher on his head and jumped towards the purple fox.

The kingfisher is not as big as a palm, and the gray rabbit is only two feet long. The gray rabbit sits between the fox's ears, and the size is just right, as if finding a soft and comfortable nest.

The fox has a rabbit on its head, and the rabbit has a kingfisher on its head, one on top of the other.At the bottom is the white crane lying on the bamboo mat, reeking of alcohol and snoring like thunder.

Chi Chu's drunken eyes were hazy: "Fly slower, I want to vomit."

Ruan Hui and Bi You looked at the bright moon in the sky: "I'm about to touch the moon!"

Meng Xueli sighed sadly: "The idiot disease of the Yaozu is not contagious, right?" He knew that Chi Chu and Fei Yu used wine to drown their worries tonight, deliberately indulged themselves in getting drunk.Although Meng Xueli smelled of alcohol, she still remained sober.

Ji Xiao then sighed: "It's hard to say." He lightly stroked the back of Meng Xueli's neck, and said with a faint smile, "I'm already very stupid, I don't dare to be stupid again."

Meng Xueli's eyes widened: "I'm also your Taoist partner, do you still want to get back together?"

Ji Xiao said sincerely, "I dare not think about it."

Satisfied, Meng Xueli left the terrace on the top floor for the group of monsters to bask in the moon, and went back to her room to rest with her Taoist couple in her arms.

The white gauze by the window reflects the shadow of the mother-in-law bamboo, the moonlight pours down like water, and the bamboo mat is cool.

Meng Xueli drank and didn't want to meditate, so she lay side by side with Ji Xiao on the bed, covered with the same soft silk quilt.

The night was very deep, the insects in the bamboo forest gradually stopped, and a drizzle as fine as flower needles fell quietly.

Ji Xiao asked: "Can't sleep?"

Hearing the sound of rain in the bamboo sea, Meng Xueli turned over and nodded, and buried herself in the arms of her Taoist companion.

Ji Xiao: "What's wrong?"

Meng Xueli said in a low voice: "Three years ago, with my wars in the north and south, the territory expanded, and the decree of 'big monsters must not devour small monsters' became more and more difficult to implement. But I still want to build a school palace so that the monsters Learn from each other, familiarize yourself with the classics of humans and demons, and learn from humans and demons. The big demon's mind is floating, and he is getting closer to Lingshan. Lingshan doesn't say, "The king of the snow mountain is fascinated, and intends to marry the human race." Other reasons contributed to that killing feast... Changing the demon world does not happen in one moment or in one place. Whether the law is evil or good, it is not only in the mind, but also in accordance with local conditions, step by step. The demon world and the human world are different after all. I am indeed not as good as Lingshan."

Ji Xiao patted him on the back, like coaxing a pet to sleep: "You entered Fengyue City and saw it all the way, what do you think?"

Meng Xueli: "Lingshan has invested too much in Fengyue City. Not only is it a waste of people and money, but it is all. It seems that it is not to be the demon king for a long time, but to hold this Ten Thousand Demons Conference and call all demons. With his temperament, It shouldn't be like this, he used to only like rhythmic painting, never liked luxury. The demon world has not yet been completely unified, and he is the one who knows how to seize the opportunity and draw it slowly."

What happened abnormally made Meng Xueli feel uneasy.

He raised his eyes, and from this angle, he happened to see Ji Xiao's thin jaw, as if he had returned to being a mink, snuggling up against the Taoist couple's chest.

"Whether Lingshan has ulterior motives or not, we will see for ourselves after the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference." Meng Xueli turned to smile and said, "I just hope that Que Xianming will not be too impulsive, in case he falls into a trap and is sent to Fengyue City Prison , then what are we doing here in the demon world, are we professionally robbing prisons?"

Ji Xiao: "I'm not afraid of robbing the prison."

Meng Xueli: "Don't be afraid. With you, even jailbreak is a joy!"

The rain outside the window is broken.

Meng Xueli leaned against Jixiao, chatting about current affairs, past stories, visions of the distant future, the world and the demon world. Although there was no more intimate contact, the two of them blended with each other, with a touch of warmth flowing.It seems that this is just an ordinary rainy night, they have spent many years of practice together.The future will live like this.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the rain gradually stopped, and Meng Xueli fell asleep.

Ji Xiao restrained her breath, got up quietly, and went out alone.

……

Chunshui and Qiuguang once again told Peacock not to run away, the demon world is very dangerous, and it is even more dangerous to be discovered by the realm master.

Que Xianming patted his chest and assured: "Do I look like that kind of sparrow?" He also said that between people and sparrows, there should be more trust in Yunyun.

He regained his demonic power, turned into a human form, and felt comfortable all over.After returning to his room, he breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed his excitement, because tonight is not yet time.

But since he intends to escape, it is inevitable to disguise his identity and change his appearance, and the greater the contrast with his original appearance and temperament, the better.

Facing the glazed mirror, Que Xianming looked at his frivolous and gorgeous facial features, and frowned slightly.Many figures and ghosts flashed in his mind, but he was not very satisfied. Suddenly, he remembered that he sneaked into the cold mountain to rescue Meng Xueli last winter.It snowed heavily that day, and Meng Xueli picked a budding plum blossom and walked from the other side of the plank road...

Que Xianming: "It's up to you!"

His body was full of evil energy, his joints were crackling, and his appearance and height gradually became exactly the same as Meng Xueli.

Que Xianming adjusted to the mirror, and in the end the face was only three points similar to Meng Xueli's, but it was more delicate and innocent.

He was barely satisfied and returned to his original appearance.
